The effect of phosphorus enrichment on fractionation of metals and phosphorus in anaerobically digested sludgeCarliell-Marquet, Cynthia January 2000 (has links)
In designated nutrient-sensitive areas, phosphorus must be removed from sewage before it is discharged to the receiving water body. Phosphorus-rich sludge is generated, which is usually digested anaerobically prior to disposal. This research investigated the effect of phosphorus enrichment on metal and phosphorus fractionation in anaerobically digested sludge. The use of two complementary sequential chemical extraction procedures to measure phosphorus and metal fractionation, was a key focus of the research. The fractionation procedures were tested by sequentially extracting inorganic compounds (phosphates, sulphides and carbonates) which showed that the operationally defined metal and phosphorus fractions were not always representative of precise metal phases. Species were tentatively assigned to metal and phosphorus fractions using model compound results. Laboratory-scale batch anaerobic digestion experiments were performed, in which model compounds were used to simulate conditions of soluble and insoluble phosphorus enrichment. Soluble phosphorus at concentrations of 500 mg/l or greater was found to retard volatile solids removal and methane production in the laboratory digesters. Soluble phosphorus enrichment facilitated precipitation of calcium, magnesium and manganese but increased trace metal solubility, particularly that of chromium. Enrichment of digesters with Na2HP04 and MgCb caused struvite to precipitate in digesters containing 1000 mg/l of additional phosphorus. FeP04 enrichment of digested sludge showed that ferric iron was reduced to ferrous iron, releasing soluble phosphorus into the digester. Most of the phosphorus was reprecipitated as ferrous phosphate, causing co-precipitation of magnesium, manganese and cobalt. By contrast, A1P04 added to the digesters was stable in the sludge. Full-scale CPR sludge digestion (Fe2(S04)3 dosing) caused soluble phosphorus in the digester to decrease below 0.05 mg/l. Phosphorus remained associated with iron in the sludge fraction but soluble calcium and magnesium concentrations in the full-scale digester increased as a result of CPR sludge digestion. Comparison of laboratory and full-scale results showed that the fate of iron-precipitated phosphorus in digested sludge was primarily dependent pn the molar ratio of Fe:P in the sludge. Full-scale BPR sludge digestion showed high concentrations of soluble phosphorus in the digester and some struvite precipitation, although phosphorus was precipitated primarily as calcium phosphate, as was found to occur in the laboratory digesters simulating BPR sludge digestion.

Tertiary nitrification of wastewater in trickling filtersBiddle, Jeremy R. January 1994 (has links)
This study was designed to investigate, at laboratory and pilot scale, the effects of various loading and climatic factors on the nitrification perfon-nance of four media, and to undertake a comparative assessment of the media. The media used were blast furnace slag and three random plastic media: Flocor RS, Etapak 160 and a new medium, Etapak 210. Laboratory experiments using pure cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea have determined the effect on nitrification of temperature, pH and substrate, BOD and inhibitor concentrations. Optimal values have been resolved for the temperature and pH and half- saturation constants for the substrate and inhibition are calculated for pure culture conditions. The presence of glucose and glutamic acid has been shown to have a beneficial effect on nitrification, although this observation could not be adequately explained. Pilot scale research, conducted over a two year period, has provided an accurate representation of a nitrifying trickling filter by using effluent from Cranfield STW in filters exposed to the full climadc variation. Data obtained from these filters have indicated the superior performance of the blast furnace slag media due mostly to its ability to maintain a large active bacterial Population without excessive accumulation. Results have been used to support or challenge previous publications, and to generate a set of desion curves. Conclusions from this research have been used in the design of a full scale nitrifying trickling filter which has been constructed at Cranfield STW, early data from which are presented.
