In this study, an optimal process to prepare a synthetic material having nutrient (PVA/peat/KNO(3) composite bead) is developed. The equilibrium water-soluble nitrogen content in the composite bead prepared by this process is 8.25-10.06 mg N/g dry solid. The mass-transport process for the water-soluble nitrogen dissolved out of the composite bead was also investigated. The dissolved out process occurs in two stages: external mass transport occurs in the early stage and the intraparticle diffusion process occurs in the long-term stage. The rate of water-soluble nitrogen dissolved out in both stages is concentration dependent. The path of nitrogen dissolved out is that the nitrogen dispersed in the peat and PVA phases simultaneously diffused into the outer PVA phase and out of the bead surface. The moisture holding capacity of the composite bead bed is better than the compost bed. The percentage of removed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can remain at levels higher than 99% for a longer time (about 230 d) as the composite bead immersed in a KNO(3) aqueous solution before packing with an optimal concentration of KNO(3) aqueous solution of 0.384 M. The rate of nitrogen dissolved out in the intraparticle diffusion process could be used as an index to predict the microbial growth rate in the biofilter.

In this study, an optimal process to prepare a synthetic filter material (poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/peat/KNO(3) composite bead) containing nutrients was developed for biofiltration. The optimal preparing condition was that each of the peat and PVA aqueous solutions contains 6.4 g KNO(3) and the nitrogen content in the boric and phosphate aqueous solutions must retain higher than 3.94 and 1.52 g N/l, respectively. The equilibrium amount of water-soluble nitrogen dissolved out of the prepared composite bead was between 7.95 and 8.21mg N/g dry solid. The path of water-soluble nitrogen dissolving out of the A-type bead was the water-soluble nitrogen dispersed in the peat phase initially diffused into the outer PVA phase and then it diffused out of the bead surface. And the path of water-soluble nitrogen dissolving out of the H-type bead was the water-soluble nitrogen dispersed in both the peat and PVA phases simultaneously diffused into the outer PVA phase and out of the bead surface, respectively. The microbial growth rate k(g) of the H-type composite bead was higher than that of the A-type composite bead approximately 1.09-1.58 times, and its value was between 0.100 and 0.417 day(-1) as the composite bead was immersed in 0-0.896 M KNO(3) solution. The maximum value of k(g) appeared at the composite bead immersed in 0.384 M KNO(3) solution and was higher than that of the compost by a factor approximately 1.49. The percentage of removed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remained at more than 98% during the biofilter operating 230 days as the composite bead was immersed in KNO(3) aqueous solution before packing. This composite bed was without the further addition of nutrients during this operating period. It was proved that this composite bead was superior to the compost as a filter material.

The composite films of ferroelectric potassium nitrate (KNO3):poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with different weight percentages of KNO3 have been prepared at 200 degrees C using the spray-deposition technique. The remanent polarization (Pr) and peak current density for all composite films was estimated by tracing the polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop and current density-electric field (J-E) loop, respectively, using a modified Sawyer-Tower circuit. Pure KNO3 is known not to exhibit any ferroelectricity under ambient conditions, but the X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of PVA:KNO3 composite films reveal the presence of a ferroelectric phase III of KNO3 in the composite films at room temperature. The composite film containing KNO(3):PVA in equal proportions shows maximum Pr and peak intensity ratio of approximately 20.10 microC/cm2 and 2.67, respectively, at room temperature. The J-E and capacitance voltage (C-V) characteristics exhibit butterfly features that supports the presence of a ferroelectric phase in the composite films. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) image of the composite film containing equal proportions of KNO3 and PVA shows the homogenous distribution of spherical grains of KNO3 of size approximately 225 nm.
