Analyzing hazards associated with bulk shootings in the mental setting.
To enhance adsorption capacity of wheat straw (WS) toward copper ion from solution, carbon disulfide was used to modify WS by a facile grafting method through epichlorohydrin and ethylenediamine. So WS containing xanthate groups (XWS) was obtained. The XWS was characterized using elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and adsorption property of XWS toward copper ions. The results showed that S was introduced into the surface of WS. The solution pH was in favor of Cu2+ adsorption at pH 5, while NaCl existing in solution was slightly favorable for adsorption. The adsorption kinetic followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while the adsorption isotherm curve was well fitted using the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacity was 57.5 mg·g-1 from experiment. The process was entropy-produced, endothermic and spontaneous in nature. The column adsorption was performed and Yan model was good to predict the breakthrough curve. XWS as adsorbent is promising to remove copper ions from solution, and this offers one way of effective utilization of waste byproduct from agriculture.Supported titanium dioxide catalysts were used in a photocatalytic flat cell reactor to remove organic micropollutants from real wastewater. Catalysts based on stainless steel mesh with a porous coating made of titanium dioxide nanoparticles with predominantly anatase modification were used. The influence of the retention time, and light output, and the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the degradation were examined. The kinetics of the degradation of the parent substances was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. As a result, first-order degradation kinetics could be confirmed for all substances. The irradiance had no linear influence on the degradation of the compounds. Hydrogen peroxides were added to the wastewater to be treated, as electron acceptors and boosters, and alone had no great oxidative effect on the parent substances. The combination of photocatalysis with the addition of hydrogen peroxide as an electron acceptor had great synergetic effects which can reduce the required energy of the process through a short retention time. The process is suitable for the removal of micropollutants from wastewater.Synthetic dyes released from many industries cause pollution problems in aquatic environments affecting public health. The present study aimed to explore the potentiality of Aspergillus terreus YESM 3 (accession number LM653117) for colour removal of three different dyes methylene blue (MB), malachite green (MG) and safranin (S). Results showed that the tolerance index of the studied fungus against tested dyes decreased in the order methylene blue, safranin and malachite green. Removal of methylene blue colour was improved by using Box-Behnken design. Optimum condition for methylene blue biodegradation in Czapek Dox broth was achieved at pH 6, of 31.41 mg/L dye concentration and an inoculum of 5.7778 × 104 (conidia/mL) with biodegradation of 89.41%. Thus, a novel and eco-friendly system for the biodegradation of dyes using Box-Behnken design has been efficiently developed. Accordingly, A. terreus YESM 3 can be professionally used for bioremediation of methylene blue dye in wastewater and removal of environmental pollution.Vietnam, like many developing countries, is facing serious water quality issues due to discharging wastewaters without treatment or with improper treatment, which can constitute a potential risk for aquatic ecosystems, food safety and human health. Hybrid constructed wetlands with four substrate layers (HCW) and modified hybrid constructed wetland (MHCW-1 and MHCW-2) with seven substrate layers were designed to evaluate the enhanced treatment capacity for wastewaters. selleckchem To this end, we carried out an outdoor experiment at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam to treat its wastewaters from April to August 2019. All constructed wetland units were planted with reed Phragmites australis and cyperus Cyperus alternifolius; and specifically wetland MHCW-2 was cultured with earthworm Perionys excavates. Results indicated that MHCW-1 and MHCW-2 with seven substrate layers had higher removal efficiencies of NO3--N, TKN and TP than HCW system. More substrate layers in MHCW-1 and MHCW-2 also resulted in increase of Cu and Pb removal efficiencies, with 73.5%, 79.4%, 71.5% and 67.8%, respectively. Particularly, earthworm addition in MHCW-2 was more efficient in decreasing the concentrations of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), with removal efficiency over 70%.This study investigated the effect of mixed feeding of anaerobically cultured waste activated sludge (WAS) on the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in the treatment of solid potato waste. The maximum current densities of the four MFCs was estimated as 36, 5, 10 and 150 mA/m2, with the columbic efficiencies of 6.1, 0.3, 0.9 and 31.1%, respectively. Composition changes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) coupled with its interrelation with electricity generation and total and viable bacterial population at the end of the operation were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that mixing WAS into solid potato enhanced the presence of the tyrosine-like aromatic amino acids and aromatic protein-like substances from the beginning of the operation and promoted hydrolysis and humification of the solid potato. In the final solution of the anodic chamber, more viable bacteria were detected for the reactors treating solid potato alone and the mixed feedstock with the smaller amount of sludge, where distinct electricity generation was observed.The correlation between sludge reduction induced by 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) as an uncoupler and sludge toxicity was investigated in sequence batch reactors over a 100-d operation period. The influent concentrations of 2,4,6-TCP tested were 10 mg/L, 30 mg/L, and 50 mg/L. Sludge reduction, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate, and sludge toxicity were measured. The results showed that from 30 to 80 d, when the COD removal rate was at an acceptable level, the sludge reduction levels for the 10 mg/L, 30 mg/L, and 50 mg/L groups were 9.7%, 31.6%, and 41.5%, respectively, and the average sludge toxicity values were 24.2%, 38.0%, and 53.0%, respectively. Sludge reduction was positively correlated with sludge toxicity. The two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/results showed that extracellular and intracellular proteins secreted by the activated sludge during uncoupling metabolism were positively correlated with sludge toxicity. Taking the COD removal rate, sludge reduction, and sludge toxicity into consideration, the optimal influent concentration of the uncoupler 2,4,6-TCP was 30 mg/L when the initial mixed liquid suspended solids of sludge was 2,500 mg/L.
