Efeitos das relações DQO/'SO IND.4 POT.-2' e das variações progressivas da concentração de sulfatos no desempenho de reator anaeróbio horizontal de leito fixo (RAHLF) / Effects of the COD to sulfate ratio and of the progressive variations of sulfate concentrations on the performance of a bench-scale horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized sludge (HAIS) reactor

Ricardo Camilo Galavoti 31 March 2003 (has links)
Os efeitos das relações DQO/sulfato e das variações progressivas da concentração de sulfato sobre o desempenho de um reator anaeróbio horizontal de leito fixo (RAHLF) em escala de bancada, tratando substrato sintético submetido a aumentos na concentração de sulfato afluente, foram investigados. O substrato sintético foi composto por glicose, acetato de amônio, bicarbonato de sódio e soluções nutricionais de sais e metais traços. O reator foi preenchido com matrizes cúbicas de espuma de poliuretano para imobilização da biomassa. A demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) no afluente foi de cerca de 2435 '+ OU -' 632 mg/L ao longo dos experimentos, enquanto a concentração de sulfato afluente foi progressivamente aumentada de 28 para 1000 e 2000 mg/L, resultando em relações DQO/sulfato de 87, 2,4 e 1,22, respectivamente, nas quatro etapas experimentais avaliadas. Sob relação DQO/sulfato de 87 houve indicações de sintrofismo entre microrganismos metanogênicos (MM) e microrganismos redutores de sulfato (MRS). Na relação DQO/sulfato de 2,4 houve predomínio da redução de sulfato, e portanto dos MRS, enquanto na relação DQO/sulfato de 1,22 houve limitação da redução de sulfato, indicando provável predomínio de MM sobre MRS, devida a limitações de biomassa ou de matéria orgânica disponível, ou de transferência de massa para o sulfato. Entretanto, metanogênese e redução de sulfato não foram processos excludentes. De maneira a melhorar a separação líquido-gás, uma nova configuração segmentada foi internamente testada no reator, de modo que o mesmo fosse capaz de atingir e manter o estado de equilíbrio dinâmico aparente / The effects of the COD to sulfate ratio and of the progressive variations of sulfate concentrations on the performance of a bench-scale horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized sludge (HAIS) reactor treating a synthetic substrate under increasing sulfate concentrations was investigated. The synthetic substrate was composed of glucose, ammonium acetate, sodium bicarbonate and trace metal nutritional solution. The reactor was filled with polyurethane foam cubic matrices for biomass immobilization. Influent chemical oxigen demand (COD) was kept almost constant along the experiments (2453 '+ OR -' 632 mg/L) while the influent sulfate concentration was increased from 28 to 1000 and 2000 mg/L, resulting in COD/'SO IND.4 POT.-2' ratios of 87; 2,4; and 1,22, respectively, in the four experimental phases assayed. Under COD/'SO IND.4 POT.-2' ratio of 87, there was indication of syntrophism between methanogenic microorganisms (MM) and sulfatereducing microorganisms (SRM). Under COD/'SO IND.4 POT.-2' ratio of 2,4, there was a sulfate reduction predominance and therefore, of SRM, while under COD/'SO IND.4 POT.-2' of 1,22, there was a sulfate reduction limitation, that probably indicates a MM predominance over SRM, due to biomass limitation, or available organic matter limitation, or sulfate mass transfer limitation. Meanwhile, there was no exclusion between methanogenesis and sulfate reduction processes. In order to improve better liquid-gas separation, a new staged configuration was tested inside the reactor, so that it was able to reach and to maintain the dynamic steady-state equilibrium

Etude thermodynamique et expérimentale du cycle géochimique du soufre dans les bassins sédimentaires / A thermodynamic and experimental study of the geochemical cycle of sulfur in sedimentary basins

Uteyev, Rakhim 10 March 2011 (has links)
Le soufre est présent dans les systèmes pétroliers à la fois sous forme organique et minérale. Il est impliqué dans de nombreuses réactions d'oxydoréduction qui affectent la qualité des huiles (par des réactions de sulfuration ou de désulfuration) et du gaz naturel (par la génération de H2S en contexte de réduction thermochimique des sulfates), ainsi que la porosité des roches réservoirs (par la dissolution de l'anhydrite ou la précipitation de soufre élémentaire ou de pyrobitume). Ces réactions sont gouvernées par la température (et dans une moindre mesure la pression), les conditions d'oxydoréduction et la composition chimique globale du système. La thèse comporte trois parties : (1) une étude thermodynamique des réactions chimiques impliquant le soufre dans les bassins sédimentaires ; (2) une étude expérimentale des réactions de sulfuration et de désulfuration des composés organiques ainsi que de la réduction thermochimique des sulfates; (3) une étude pétrographique et d'inclusions fluides sur des échantillons d'un réservoir carbonaté du bassin Pré-Caspien / Sulfur occurs in petroleum systems as both organic compounds and minerals as well as under different oxidation states. It is involved in a number of redox reactions which may impact the quality of crude oils (through sulfurization or desulfurization reactions) and natural gas (through the generation of H2S during thermochemical sulfate reduction), as well as the petrophysical properties of reservoir rocks (through the dissolution of anhydrite and the precipitation of elemental sulfur and pyrobitumen). These reactions are controlled by temperature (and to a lesser extent pressure), the redox conditions, and the overall chemical composition of the system representing the petroleum reservoir. The thesis consists of three parts: (1) a thermodynamic study of chemical reactions involving sulfur which occur in sedimentary basins; (2) an experimental simulation of sulfurization and desulfurization reactions of organic compounds, as well as of thermochemical sulfate reduction; and (3) a petrographic and fluid inclusion study of carbonate rock samples from a sulfur-rich hydrocarbon reservoir of the northern Caspian Sea

The Influence of Seawater and Sulfate Reduction on Phosphate Release from Tidal Wetland Soils in the St. John’s River, Florida

Williams, Asher 01 January 2012 (has links)
Climate change and increasing sea level elevation are predicted to increase salinity in estuarine tidal wetlands in the Southeastern United States. Since much of the ecosystem function in these areas is predicated upon salinity regimes, many fundamental changes are likely to occur as a result. The influence of salinity and SO4 2- reduction on PO4 3- release from tidal wetland soils was evaluated along a salinity gradient at three sites in The St. John’s River, Florida using both field and laboratorybased methods. Porewater was sampled over the course of 10 months to determine ambient levels of SO4 2- and PO4 3-. Lab-based experiments, soils samples were subjected to seawater and SO4 2- treatments in an attempt to induce PO4 3- release. Salinity was lowest at Sixmile Creek (0.45 ± 0.1 g kg-1) and Goodby’s Creek (2.05 ± 2.3 g kg-1) and much higher at Sister’s Creek (27.81 ± 3.1 g kg-1). The organic content of soils was highest (82.35% ± 5.11) at Sixmile Creek, intermediate at Goodby’s Creek (64.45% ± 7.02) and lowest at Sister’s Creek (32.11% ± 9.61). Total soil P was highest at the freshwater Sixmile Creek (1101.64 ± 220.2 μg g-1), intermediate at the brackish Goodby’s Creek (719.61 ± 114.3 μg g-1) and lowest at the Sister’s Creek saltmarsh (475.85 ± 110.9 μg g-1). Porewater PO4 3- was higher at Sixmile and Goodby’s Creek sites (9.44 ± 15.6, 8.99 ± 14.7 !g L-1, respectively) compared to Sister’s Creek (0.6 ± 3.1 !g L-1). Porewater SO4 2- was lower at Sixmile (70.73± 57.58 !g L-1) and Goodby’s Creeks (124.35 ± 152.5 !g L-1) compared to Sister’s Creek (1931.41 ± 557.82 !g L-1). Temporal and spatial trends indicated that SO4 2- and PO4 3- in porewater was likely due to floodwater content and that direct reaction between analytes in soils was unlikely. The addition of aerated seawater failed to cause PO4 3- release from any sites. The incubation of soils under anaerobic conditions, in the presence of Na2SO4 induced SO4 2- reduction, but inhibited PO4 3- flux from both Sixmile and Goodby’s Creek, which is attributed here to likely S- toxicity (Roychoudhury et al., 1999). PO4 3- flux from Sister’s Creek increased in association with Na2SO4 concentration, likely due to more Fe availability to mitigate Stoxicity. Ambient seawater additions to soils under anaerobic conditions followed a similar trend, but the results were not statistically conclusive. Overall, both field and labbased data indicated that Tidal wetland porewater PO4 3- likely originates from floodwaters and that increased salinity and SO4 2- reduction did not directly enhance soil PO4 3- fluxes.

Entwicklung einer Technologie zur langzeitstabilen Biologischen Reinigung schwermetallbelasteter Bergbauwässer

Deusner, Christian 04 October 2004 (has links) (PDF)
A new technology for biotechnological treatment of mine waters with both high concentrations of heavy metals and sulphate was developed. The technology is based on the technical coupling of microbially mediated hydrolysis, fermentation and microbial sulphate reduction in a self-stabilising process. Electron donor for sulphate reduction is supplied by degradation of a solid substrate (silage). Elimination of metals is primarily achieved by sulphide precipitation within the sulphate reduction zone. The organic compounds are either supplied by elution or by hydrolysis of polymeric compounds which was named active elution. The concept was realised as a two-phase process with (active) elution in the first phase (R1) and sulphate reduction and metal elimination in the second phase (R2). With this process setup the supply of sufficient amounts of electron donor in R1, a stable and effective sulphate reduction yield as the basis of metal elimination in R2 and a stable separation of microbial processes in R1 and R2 was achieved at hydraulic retention times of 69 h in R1 and 40 h in R2. Almost complete elimination of heavy metals was achieved from wastewaters with 0.2 mM Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Mn2. A structurised mathematical model describing the two-phase process was developed on the basis of literature values and tested with data from continuous experiments. Microbial processes were significantly influenced in the presence of precipitated heavy metal sulfides. The effect was dependent on both the bound metal (Ni2+ or Fe2+) and the relative distance between sediment and biomass. / Es wurde eine neuartige Technologie zur biotechnologischen Reinigung von schwermetallbelasteten, sulfathaltigen Bergbauwässern entwickelt. Die Technologie basiert auf der technischen Kopplung von mikrobiell vermittelter Hydrolyse, Fermentation und mikrobieller Sulfatreduktion in einem selbststabilisierenden Prozess, wobei aus Abbau eines festen Substanzgemisches (Silage) Elektronendonor zur Sulfatreduktion bereitgestellt wird. Die Schwermetallelimination erfolgt vorrangig durch sulfidische Fällung, die technisch einstufig mit der mikrobiellen Sulfatreduktion realisiert wurde. Die organischen Verbindungen wurden durch Elution bereitgestellt bzw. durch hydrolytischen Abbau von polymeren Verbindungen. Hierfür wurde der Begriff der ?Aktiven Elution? geprägt. Die Konzeption wurde technisch zweistufig umgesetzt. In der ersten Stufe (R1) erfolgt die (Aktive) Elution, in der zweiten Stufe (R2) erfolgen Sulfatreduktion und Schwermetallelimination. Mit der verfahrenstechnischen Umsetzung wurde die Bereitstellung einer ausreichenden Menge an Elektronendonor in R1, eine effektive und stabile Sulfatreduktionsausbeute als Bedingung der Schwermetallelimination in R2 und eine weitgehende Trennung der mikrobiellen Prozesse in R1 und R2 bei Verweilzeiten von 69 h in R1 und 40 h in R2 erreicht. Bei Behandlung von wässrigen Lösungen mit 0,2 mM Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ und Mn2+ konnte eine nahezu vollständige Elimination der Schwermetalle aus der Lösung erreicht werden. Es wurde ein strukturiertes mathematisches Modell für den zweistufigen Prozess auf der Basis von Literaturangaben entwickelt und anhand der kontinuierlichen Laborversuche überprüft. Es wurde ein erheblicher Einfluss schwermetallsulfidischer Präzipitate auf die mikrobiellen Prozesse festgestellt. Dabei wurde dieser Einfluss in Abhängigkeit von der Art der gebundenen Metallionen (Ni2+ oder/und Fe2+) und in Abhängigkeit der relativen räumlichen Anordnung von Sediment und Biomasse festgestellt.
