Selective ion exchange is one of the preferred treatment technologies for removing low levels of perchlorate (ClO4-) from contaminated water because of its high efficiency and minimal impact on water quality through the addition or removal of chemicals and nutrients. However, the exceptionally high affinity of ClO4- for type I anion-exchange resins makes regeneration with conventional NaCl brine extremely difficult and costly for practical applications. The present study entails the development of a novel regeneration methodology applicable to highly selective anion-exchange resins. Tetrachloroferrate (FeCl4-) anions, formed in a solution of ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid (e.g., 1 M FeCl3 and 4 M HCl), were found to effectively displace Cl04- anions that were sorbed on the resin. A mass-balance analysis indicated that a nearly 100% recovery of ion-exchange sites was achieved by washing with as little as approximately 5 bed volumes of the regenerant solution in a column flow-through experiment There was no significant deterioration of the resin's performance with respect to ClO4- removal after repeated loading and regeneration cycles. Thus, the new methodology may offer a cost-effective means to regenerate ClO4- -loaded resins with improved regeneration efficiency, recovery, and waste minimization in comparison with conventional brine regeneration techniques.

Optimum conditioning of activated sludge in terms of minimum CST was shown to correspond to the complete removal of turbidity, and the increase in turbidity with shear due to e.g. pumping is therefore expected to affect conditioning. The optimum polymer dosage was directly related to the turbidity of activated sludge after two minutes shear, and was considerably lower than the dosage required for charge neutralisation. The turbidity produced by shear increased more than is proportional with solids concentration and was directly related to the apparent viscosity. It is suggested that increasing solids concentration causes increased surface erosion when network structures are broken, and this causes increases in turbidity and required polymer dosage per solids mass. For Aby activated sludge, optimum polymer dosage per solids mass increased by 52% when the solids concentration was increased from 8.2 to 13.7 g SS/l. Modelling of the effect of solids concentration predicts even higher increases in required polymer dosage for higher solids concentrations. This means that reduced thickening prior to pumping and conditioning may be desirable when the hydraulic capacity of the dewatering device is sufficient. Similar trends were observed for an anaerobically digested sludge. For this sludge, reduction of turbidity with FeCl3 reduced the polymer demand.

This paper presents the results of a study performed with a lab-scale batch DAF unit fed with previously coagulated (with FeCl3 and/or cationic polymer) effluent from a pilot-scale expanded bed anaerobic reactor treating domestic sewage. The association between ferric chloride and polymers was studied, aimed at sludge reduction. Ferric chloride dosages ranging from 15 to 65 mg.l-1, and polymer dosages from 0.25 to 7.0 mg.l-1 were investigated. Flocculation conditions were kept constant: 20 min of time (Tf) and 80 s-1 of mean velocity gradient (Gf). Air requirement was kept to 19.0 g of air.m-3 wastewater, using 20% recycle ratio and saturation pressure at 450 kPa. When the anaerobic reactor was operating at steady state conditions, it was possible to reduce the FeCl3 dosage from 65 to 30 mg.l-1 after applying 0.4 mg.l-1 of non-ionic polymer, before the DAF process. For these dosages, 79% COD removal (residual of 23 mg.l-1), 86% total phosphate removal (residual of 0.9 mg.l-1) and 98% turbidity removal (residual of 2.6 NTU) were observed. Furthermore, the use of adequate polymer together with 30 mgFeCl3.l-1 leads to the production of high rising rate flocs.

The photocatalytic degradation of leather dye, Acid green 16, has been investigated over a ZnO catalyst supported on two different materials, namely alumina and glass beads (3-5 mm diameter). Sunlight was used as the energy source. The alumina-supported ZnO outperformed the glass-supported ZnO under identical operational conditions suggesting that the dye molecules are adsorbed on the alumina supports to make a high concentration environment around the loaded ZnO. The degradation efficiency was greater at pH = 4 compared to other acidic and neutral pH. Also, the degradation efficiency was a little bit higher in alkaline medium, which correlates with the adsorption behaviour of acid green 16 on the alumina supported ZnO. The influence of inorganic oxidants like H2O2, FeCl3 and Fenton reagent on the degradation efficiency were systematically studied. The decolourisation and extent of degradation of the dye were determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy and COD reflux methods, respectively. Complete mineralisation of the dye was conformed by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

The use of a biological cover for in situ control of gaseous sulfide emission from an anaerobic pond was investigated by a laboratory-scale experiment. The biological cover, constituting by a peat bed floating on the wastewater, caused a reduction of the H2S emission rate by 84.6%. The addition of Fe3+ (with FeCl3) and plants (Juncus effusus L.) to the peat bed significantly improved the performance to reach a H2S removal of 95.5%. Despite the fluctuations in the sulfide concentration in the wastewater, the performance of the biological covers remained constant during the entire period of the study. The analysis of the different forms of sulfur accumulated in the peat beds allowed the understanding of the mechanisms involved in H2S removal. The high amount of sulfate demonstrated that the conditions were favorable to the biological oxidation of H2S. The addition of Fe3+ increased the formation of insoluble ferrous monosulfide (FeS) and pyrite (FeS2). The plants seemed to convert sulfate into elemental and organic sulfur.

The Marsh Test, the original means of determination of arsenic by hydride generation, has been modified to remove arsenic from water works sludge, with iron used instead of zinc as the main agent. Water works sludge (main compound iron(III) oxyhydrate) generated during groundwater treatment can be enriched in arsenic up to several gkg(-1). Acidic dissolution of this sludge to produce FeCl3 coagulant liberates the arsenic. Addition of elemental iron reduces this dissolved As(V) mainly to dispersed elemental As(0) particles, which can be removed by filtration. If the reaction temperature is kept below 50 degrees C, more than 99% of the arsenic can be removed from the coagulant solution and less than 10% will escape as gaseous arsine (AsH3). Severe foaming and silicic acid gel formation occurs during the acidic dissolution, however. For technical and economic reasons the use of the water works sludge for FeCl3 coagulant production is not competitive when compared with other recycling methods.

By using several kinds of surface-active proteins as a chemical agent that combined collector with frother, removal of suspended substances by coagulation and foam separation with dispersed air was examined. Milk casein showed the greatest capability of suspension removal, and coagulating flocs formed by clay particles and iron hydroxide were almost perfectly recovered in foam generated from the liquid, even in the case of freshwater and seawater suspension at neutral pH. In contrast, the removal efficiency was extremely low using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Casein had a much greater capability for removing solids than SDS as a result of the high adsorptive activity of casein on the floc. For municipal wastewater treatment, the removal efficiency of turbidity and suspended solids was over 98% with the condition of iron coagulant (FeCl3) 20 mg-Fe/L and casein 3 mg/L and pH 5-6. Moreover, this method proved to be an effective treatment for polluted saline water (salinity 1.5%), and the suspended solids were almost perfectly recovered in foam. Here, we show a new method for quickly removing (within 7 min) suspended solids from polluted wastewater utilizing casein and bubbles.

The preparation of capped metal oxide nanoparticles through the hydrolysis of metal salts is made arduous by the difficulty of dissolving long organic chain capping agents in water; by performing the reaction in propylene glycol under reflux, instead of water, we are able to hydrolyse FeCl3 in the presence of n-octylamine to obtain (repeatedly) soluble, monodisperse approximately 5 nm gamma-Fe2O3 particles that display a tendency to aggregate into superlattices.

In confined animal feeding operations, liquid manure systems present special handling and storage challenges because of the large volume of diluted wastes. Water treatment polymers and mineral phosphorus (P) immobilizing chemicals [AI2(SO4)3 x 18H2O, FeCl3-6H2O, and Class C fly ash] were used to determine particulate and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) reduction mechanisms in high total suspended solid (TSS) dairy manure and the P release from treated manure and amended soils. Co-application exceeded the aggregation level achieved with individual manure amendments and resulted in 80 and 90% reduction in metal salt and polymer rates, respectively. At marginally effective polymer rates between 0.01 and 0.25 g L(-1), maximal aggregation was attained in combination with 1 and 10 g L(-1) of aluminum sulfate (3 and 30 mmol Al3+ L(-1)) and iron chloride (3.7 and 37 mmol Fe3+ L(-1)) in 30 g L(-1) (TSS30) and 100 g L(-1) TSS (TSS100) suspensions, respectively. Fly ash induced particulate destabilization at rates > or = 50 g L(-1) and reduced solution-phase DRP at all rates > or = 1 g L(-1) by 52 and 71% in TSS30 and TSS100 suspensions, respectively. Aluminum and Fe salts also lowered DRP at rates < or = 10 g L(-1) and higher concentrations redispersed particulates and increased DRP due to increased suspension acidity and electrical conductivity. The DRP release from treated manure solids and a Typic Paleudult amended with treated manure was reduced, although the amendments increased Mehlich 3-extractable P. Therefore, the synergism of flocculant types allowed input reduction in aggregation aid chemicals, enhancing particulate and dissolved P separation and immobilization in high TSS liquid manure.
