In the present study, an advanced sewage treatment process has been developed by incorporating excess sludge reduction and phosphorous recovery in an A2O-MBR process. The A2O-MBR reactor was operated at a flux of 17 LMH over a period of 210 days. The designed flux was increased stepwise over a period of two weeks. The reactor was operated at two different MLSS range. Thermo chemical digestion of sludge was carried out at a fixed pH (11) and temperature (75 °C) for 25% COD solubilisation. The released phosphorous was recovered by precipitation process and the organics was sent back to anoxic tank. The sludge digestion did not have any impact on COD and TP removal efficiency of the reactor. During the 210 days of reactor operation, the MBR maintained relatively constant transmembrane pressure. The results based on the study indicated that the proposed process configuration has potential to reduce the excess sludge production as well as it didn’t detoriated the treated water quality. 相似文献

Methane production was studied in a laboratory-scale 10 L anaerobic upflow sludge bed (UASB) reactor with periodic variations of the reactor temperature. On a daily basis the temperature was varied between 35 and 45 degrees C or 35 and 55 degrees C with a heating period of 6 h. Each temperature increase was accompanied by an increase in methane production and a decrease in the concentration of soluble organic matter in the effluent. In comparison to a reactor operated at 35 degrees C, a net increase in methane production of up to 22% was observed. Batch activity tests demonstrated a tolerance of mesophilic methanogenic populations to short-term, 2-6 h, temperature increases, although activity of acetoclastic methanogens decreased after 6 h exposure to a temperature of 55 degrees C. 16S sequencing of DGGE bands revealed proliferation of temperature-tolerant Methanospirillum hungatii sp. in the reactor. 相似文献

A continuous enzymatic hollow fiber reactor (HFR), obtained by immobilizing cellobiose active cells into the shell side of hollow-fiber modules, was studied. The HFR yield was monitored by glucose analysis resulting from hydrolysis of cellobiose. The residence time of substrate in the bioreactor to obtain convenient hydrolysis yields was calculated from tests carried out by varying the reactor dilution rate in the range 0.001-0.004 L/min. The glucose yield was measured for 300 h (continuous substrate flux). The yield decreased from 40 to 15%. This decrease was due to the loss of specific activity in the operating conditions and to the pressure drop increase from 0.2 to 1.7 atm. The pressure drop increase is in turn dependent on the cell loading (0.2-2.1 g dry cell) and the substrate flux. 相似文献

Leachate from a municipal landfill site, which has been treated by biological process, was treated by photoelectrochemical oxidation in a pilot scale flow reactor, using DSA anode and UV light irradiation. At a current density of 67.1 mA/cm2 and 2.5 h reaction time, the removal rates achieved were for 74.1% COD, 41.6% for TOC, and 94.5% for ammonium in the electrolysis process with UV light irradiation. In comparison, the removal rates of COD, TOC, and ammonium were decreased in the individual electrolysis process, respectively. The increase induced by the UV light irradiation was analyzed. The removal rates increased with the increase of current densities in the photoelectrochemical process. Combined with UV–vis spectra and gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy analysis, it is believed that the organic contaminants were efficiently mineralized into small molecular acids. At the meantime, the concentrations of metal ions in the landfill leachate were largely reduced. 相似文献

The optimum temperature operation mode required to achieve high fructose productivity is studied for immobilized glucose isomerase (GI) packed bed reactor. In this study, the reactor design equation based on reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics assumes both thermal enzyme deactivation and substrate protection. The optimization problem is formulated as a discretized constrained nonlinear programming problem (NLP). The formulation is expressed in terms of maximization of fructose productivity as the objective function subject to reactor design equation, kinetic parameter equations, substrate protection factor equation and feasibility constraints. The constraints are discretized along the reactor operating period by employing piecewise polynomial approximations. Approximately 7% improvement in terms of fructose productivity is achieved when running the reactor at the optimum decreasing temperature operation mode as compared to the constant optimum isothermal operation. 相似文献

PurposeWe simulated the effect of patient displacement on organ doses in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In addition, we developed a faster calculation algorithm (NCT high-speed) to simulate irradiation more efficiently.MethodsWe simulated dose evaluation for the standard irradiation position (reference position) using a head phantom. Cases were assumed where the patient body is shifted in lateral directions compared to the reference position, as well as in the direction away from the irradiation aperture.For three groups of neutron (thermal, epithermal, and fast), flux distribution using NCT high-speed with a voxelized homogeneous phantom was calculated. The three groups of neutron fluxes were calculated for the same conditions with Monte Carlo code. These calculated results were compared.ResultsIn the evaluations of body movements, there were no significant differences even with shifting up to 9 mm in the lateral directions. However, the dose decreased by about 10% with shifts of 9 mm in a direction away from the irradiation aperture.When comparing both calculations in the phantom surface up to 3 cm, the maximum differences between the fluxes calculated by NCT high-speed with those calculated by Monte Carlo code for thermal neutrons and epithermal neutrons were 10% and 18%, respectively. The time required for NCT high-speed code was about 1/10th compared to Monte Carlo calculation.ConclusionsIn the evaluation, the longitudinal displacement has a considerable effect on the organ doses.We also achieved faster calculation of depth distribution of thermal neutron flux using NCT high-speed calculation code. 相似文献

The effects of temperature on the hydrolysis of lactose by immobilized beta-galactosidase were studied in a continuous flow capillary bed reactor. Temperature affects the rates of enzymatic reactions in two ways. Higher temperatures increase the rate of the hydrolysis reaction, but also increase the rate of thermal deactivation of the enzyme. The effect of temperature on the kinetic parameters was studied by performing lactose hydrolysis experiments at 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 degrees C. The kinetic parameters were observed to follow an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence. Galactose mutarotation has a significant impact on the overall rate of lactose hydrolysis. The temperature dependence of the mutarotation of galactose was effectively modelled by first-order reversible kinetics. The thermal deactivation characteristics of the immobilized enzyme reactor were investigated by performing lactose hydrolysis experiments at 52, 56, 60, and 64 degrees C. The thermal deactivation was modelled effectively as a first order decay process. Based on the estimated thermal deactivation rate constants, at an operating temperature of 40 degrees C, 10% of the enzyme activity would be lost in one year. 相似文献

Three anaerobic downflow stationary fixed-film (DSFF) reactors using multiple vertical clay channels of different heights (31, 92 and 183 cm) and treating bean blanching waste showed improved performance and mixing characteristics with increased reactor height. A start-up period of 100 days was necessary to achieve the best performance in terms of loading rate (up to 9.5 kg Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) m?3 d?1) and methane production rate (up to 2.7 m3 m?3 d?1). During this period, differences in performance could only be related to the surface-to-volume ratio. At steady-state, mixing analysis indicated that the reactors deviated from the perfect-mixed pattern. Some dead space and shortcircuiting occurred. The amount of dead space due to biomass accumulation decreased as the reactor height increased (up to 44% for the shortest reactor). The COD removal efficiency was dependent on loading rate, decreasing from 90% at a loading rate of 1.0 kg COD m?3 d?1 to 75% at 7.0 kg COD m?3 d?1. However, the effect was more pronounced in the shortest reactor than in the tallest one. The improvement in mixing characteristics in the tallest reactor could be related to the higher liquid velocity inside channels which in turn permitted better support utilization and concomitant better COD removal. Data also suggest that it may be preferable to scale-up vertically rather than horizontally in order to maximize the liquid velocity in the channels. 相似文献

Einsteinium-253 was obtained by irradiation of 100–200 μg of californium-252 by the flux of thermal neutrons 2-5 X 1014 neutrons cm?2 s?1 during 500–900 h. For the separation of einsteinium from californium and neodimium, which was used as a carrier, the chromatographic method of separation on the Aminex Q-15S resin with particles of 20 to 25 μm was applied.Einsteinium was eluated by a solution of α-oxyisobutirate of ammonium (0.14 M) with pH = 4.95 at room temperature. The coefficient of separation of einsteinium and californium under these conditions is equal to 1.62. The coefficient of purification of einsteinium from californium is ca. 105. 相似文献

Reactor performance and microbial community of an EGSB reactor operated at 20 and 15°C 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: To investigate the effects of low temperatures on the performance and microbial community of anaerobic wastewater treatment.
Methods and Results: An expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor was employed to treat synthetic brewery wastewater at 20 and 15°C. Reactor performance was represented by chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, while the microbial community was analysed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone technology. When the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was maintained at 18 h, COD removal efficiencies above 85% were obtained at both 20 and 15°C, with influent COD concentrations up to 7300 and 4100 mg l−1 , respectively. At 15°C, the COD removal efficiency was more easily manipulated by increasing the influent COD concentration. DGGE and clone results for both temperatures revealed that Methanosaeta and Methanobacterium were two dominant methanogens, and that the majority of the eubacterial clones were represented by Firmicutes . When the temperature decreased from 20 to 15°C, both archaeal and eubacterial communities had higher diversity, and the proportion of Methanosaeta (acetate-utilizing methanogens) decreased markedly from 60·0% to 49·3%, together with an increase in proportions of hydrogen-utilizing methanogens (especially Methanospirillum ).
Conclusions: The feasibility of psychrophilic anaerobic treatment of low and medium strength organic wastewaters was demonstrated, although lower temperature could significantly affect both reactor performance and the anaerobic microbial community.
Significance and Impact of the Study: The findings enrich the theory involving the microbial community and the application of anaerobic treatment in a psychrophilic environment. 相似文献

Performance of an upflow anaerobic reactor combining a sludge blanket and a filter treating sugar waste 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A new hybrid reactor, the upflow blanket filter (UBF), which combined on open volume in the bottom two-thirds of the reactor for a sludge blanket and submerged plastic rings (Flexiring, Koch Inc., 235 m(2)/m(3)) in the upper one-third of the reactor volume, was studied. This UBF reactor was operated at 27 degrees C at loading rates varying from 5 to 51 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/L d with soluble sugar wastewater (2500 mg COD/L). Maximum removal rates of 34 g COD/L d and CH(4) production rates of 7 vol/vol d [standard temperature and pressure (STP)] were obtained. The biomass activity was about 1.2 g COD/g volatile suspended solids per day. Conversion (based on effluent soluble COD) was over 93% with loading rates up to 26 g COD/L d. At higher loading rates conversion decreased rapidly. The packing was very efficient in retaining biomass. 相似文献

The aim of the work was to define the physicochemical parameters of a reaction system that alter the effectiveness of a continuous
recycle membrane reactor during potato starch hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis of starch in an ultrafiltration reaction
system proceeded with a continuous decrease in the permeate flux, accompanied by an increase in dry substance content in both
the permeate and retentate fractions. The decrease in the permeate flux was caused by an increase in feed viscosity. If a
prehydrolysis process was conducted, it was possible to enzymatically hydrolyse potato starch in solutions with concentrations
up to 20%. A quasi-steady state of starch enzymatic hydrolysis was reached in the ultrafiltration reaction system by alternately
supplementing it with starch solution and water. 相似文献

The elemental compositions of 18 biological reference materials have been processed, for 14 stepped combinations of irradiation/decay/counting times, by the INAA Advance Prediction Computer Program. The 18 materials studied include 11 plant materials, 5 animal materials, and 2 other biological materials. Of these 18 materials, 14 are NBS Standard Reference Materials and four are IAEA reference materials. Overall, the results show that a mean of 52% of the input elements can be determined to a relative standard deviation of ±10% or better by reactor flux (thermal plus epithermal) INAA.

A systematic investigation on the effects of auxotrophies on the performance of yeast in aerated fed-batch reactor was carried out. Six isogenic strains from the CEN.PK family of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one prototroph and five auxotrophs, were grown in aerated fed-batch reactor using the same operative conditions and a proper nutritional supplementation. The performance of the strains, in terms of final biomass decreased with increasing the number of auxotrophies. Auxotrophy for leucine exerted a profound negative effect on the performance of the strains. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells of the strain carrying four auxotrophies and its significant viability loss, were indicative of an oxidative stress response induced by exposure of cells to the environmental conditions. The mathematical model was fundamental to highlight how the carbon flux, depending on the number and type of auxotrophies, was diverted towards the production of increasingly large quantities of energy for maintenance. 相似文献

Summarized results of 5 repeated experiments of comparative study of radiation effects of the pulse reactor BARS-6 either in a single pulse or a continuos irradiation mode on human lymphocytes are presented. Higher efficiency (30-40%) of continuous irradiation (exposure duration 1 h) rather than pulse irradiation with ultra-high dose rates (1-2.5) x 10(6) Gy/min (pulse duration 65 micros) was confirmed. The efficiency ratio did not depend on the temperature, 20 degrees C or 0 degrees C, during the exposure. Cell repair system and chromatin conformation influence on the results obtained is discussed. 相似文献

Temperature is a very relevant variable for any bioprocess. Temperature optimization of bioreactor operation is a key aspect for process economics. This is especially true for enzyme-catalyzed processes, because enzymes are complex, unstable catalysts whose technological potential relies on their operational stability. Enzyme reactor design is presented with a special emphasis on the effect of thermal inactivation. Enzyme thermal inactivation is a very complex process from a mechanistic point of view. However, for the purpose of enzyme reactor design, it has been oversimplified frequently, considering one-stage first-order kinetics of inactivation and data gathered under nonreactive conditions that poorly represent the actual conditions within the reactor. More complex mechanisms are frequent, especially in the case of immobilized enzymes, and most important is the effect of catalytic modulators (substrates and products) on enzyme stability under operation conditions. This review focuses primarily on reactor design and operation under modulated thermal inactivation. It also presents a scheme for bioreactor temperature optimization, based on validated temperature-explicit functions for all the kinetic and inactivation parameters involved. More conventional enzyme reactor design is presented merely as a background for the purpose of highlighting the need for a deeper insight into enzyme inactivation for proper bioreactor design. 相似文献

Effects of residence time (3-12 min), stirrer speed (0-800 rpm), and NaOH concentration (0.25-1.0 wt% of oil) on the production performance of the designed 6-stage continuous reactor (2.272 l) for transesterification of palm oil were investigated at molar ratio of methanol to oil of 6:1 and temperature of 60 degrees C. Higher stirrer speed increased the reaction rate up to an appropriate speed but excessive stirrer speed decreased the reaction rate. Inappropriate stirrer speed runs dramatically decreased the production capacity of the reactor. Higher NaOH concentration significantly increased reaction rate and production capacity of the reactor. The reactor had a residence time distribution equivalent to 5.98 ideal CSTRs in series and a production performance equivalent to a plug flow reactor. At NaOH of 1.0 wt% of oil, the reactor could produce saleable biodiesel within residence time of 6 min in which a production capacity was 17.3 l/h and a power consumption of stirrer was 0.6 kW/m(3). 相似文献

The hydrolysis of maltodextrins (10 DE) by glucoamylase was studied in a batch reactor at temperatures between 40 and 80 degrees C and substrate concentration range from 17 to 300 kg/m(-3). The experimental data were fitted to a model including thermal deactivation of the enzyme. In the model, the reaction rate was correlated with an extended Michaelis-Menten equation including inhibition by product, and the thermal deactivation of glucoamylase was fitted with a first-order reaction. The dependence of rate parameters on temperature was correlated using the Arrhenius equation. The differential equation of the model was integrated and the optimal enzyme demand and temperature were determined for isothermal operation. 相似文献

Summary The productivity of continuous ethanol fermentation has been increased using fixed bed reactors where a high density of yeast cells was maintained on a packing of wood chips. Two different systems have been used: 1. A tubular reactor which produced alcohol solutions containing up to 13.5% (V/V) ethanol. High CO2 retention and a poor mass transfer between bulk medium and immobilized biomass prevented production rates higher than 2.2 g/l·h. 2. A multistage reactor where a better utilisation of the reactor volume led to improved performances. Solutions containing 132 g/l of ethanol (16.5% V/V) were produced with a productivity increased up to 4.8 g/l·h. A better distribution of the active biomass and a lower gradient of alcohol concentration between support and bulk medium are possible reasons for this improvement. 相似文献

For the boron neutron capture therapy (NCT) of deep-seated metastatic melanoma, an epithermal (up to a few keV energy) neutron beam from a reactor horizontal facility could be useful if the inherent contamination from fast neutrons and gamma rays could be minimised. Calculations for ANSTO's 10 MW research reactor HIFAR have shown that, even though a filter material such as AlF3 attenuates the fast neutron dose, the beam quality improvement is counteracted by a relative increase in the gamma dose because of the gammas arising from neutron captures in the filter material, particularly the aluminium. The aluminium gammas, most of which arise from thermal neutron capture, are hard and cannot be attenuated by lead or bismuth without comparable attenuation of the epithermal neutron flux. Addition of an absorber such as 6Li to the AlF3 filter was investigated as a means of reducing the hard gamma dose, but the improvement in beam quality was small and at considerable cost to dose intensity. Dose characteristics calculations confirmed the superiority of a tangential beam over a radial beam with better results from an unfiltered tangential beam than from an AlF3 filter in a radial beam. This study showed conclusively that assessments of filter assemblies based on the effect of individual components on either the neutron or gamma dose in isolation are inadequate. In assessing any epithermal neutron filter, thermal neutron shield, and gamma shield combination, the total effect of each on the neutron, gamma, and boron-10 dose must be considered. 相似文献
