This book was released on 2020 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is contributing to the development of a systematic modelling approach for a more efficient and sustainable water management.The main aim is introducing Chemical and Process System Engineering methods and tools to provide a contribution to the AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes) investigation field by proposing process models that can be exploited to progress towards efficient management strategies for practical AOPs operation and inclusion in wastewater treatment networks. First, different advanced oxidation processes, namely Fenton, photo-Fenton and VUV photo-oxidation, were investigated and compared for the treatment of paracetamol (PCT) aqueous solution, by evaluating a series of performance indicators. Among the selected AOPs, VUV photo-oxidation and photo-Fenton showed the most promising results. Both processes allowed attaining total removal of the target compound and high mineralization levels.The second and main part of the thesis was focused on transforming "data into knowledge" by proposing different modelling approaches. The modelling effort focused on Fenton/photo-Fenton processes that showed the need of improving operating conditions.Accordingly, two practical kinetic models for Fenton and photo-Fenton degradation of organic compounds have been proposed and validated:•A conventional First Principles Model, based on a line source radiation model with spherical and isotropic emission, developed for the prediction of Fenton and photo-Fenton degradation of PCT and the oxidant (H2O2) consumption;•A general non-conventional First Principles Model, based on a wide-ranging contaminant degradation mechanism considering a variable number of carbon atoms for the characterization of the intermediates.Both models were experimentally validated and showed that were able to satisfactorily reproduce the system behavior. Particularly, the non-conventional First Principles Model showed to be a successful modelling approach for the Fenton/photo-Fenton degradation of different wastewater systems composed by single or multiple organic contaminants by means of lumped parameters (e.g. Total Organic Carbon-TOC). Thus, the approach proved to offer practical characterization of complex mixtures of chemicals. Once process models are proposed and validated, they can be systematically exploited to determine efficient operation modes or design alternatives. Accordingly, the thesis addressed two cases of practical interest: the optimization of a control recipe and the design of a treatment network.Particularly, a dynamic optimization framework for taking advantage of available kinetic models and determining the best hydrogen peroxide dosage profile, was proposed. Economic and environmental objectives and constraints were included to develop a dynamic optimization problem that was implemented in JModelica and solved using a direct simultaneous optimization method (IPOPT). Finally, the combination of cheaper conventional biological processes with more expensive AOPs was explored. A Mixed-Integer Non Linear Programming (MINLP) model for the optimization of a general wastewater network was proposed based on a superstructure of alternative designs, which was implemented and solved in GAMS. The novel formulation includes the BOD5/COD ratio method, describing the removal efficiency of BOD5 and COD of a treatment for modelling the variation of the biodegradability of the influents. This novel formulation allows determining the extent of the AOP treatments when combined with biological treatments, and paves the way for more complex models aimed at solving the trade-off between cost and treatment efficiency.

Download or read book Water and Wastewater Treatment Advanced Oxidation Processes written by Leila Thomson and published by Callisto Reference. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water and wastewater treatment involves the use of one or more physical, chemical and biological processes or their combination for removing solids and organic matter from the wastewater. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a set of chemical treatment procedures designed for effectively removing organic pollutants from water and wastewater by the process of oxidation. This emerging chemical technology is based on the in-situ generation of hydroxyl radicals, which are used as strong oxidants that can be used to oxidize a wide range of chemical compounds. In some AOPs, sulphate radicals, ozone, catalyst, or ultraviolet irradiation is also used to achieve more efficient treatment. AOP is beneficial for cleaning biologically toxic or non-degradable materials such as aromatics, pesticides, petroleum constituents, and volatile organic compounds dissolved in the wastewater. A major advantage of using AOPs for wastewater treatment is that these processes do not introduce any new hazardous substances into the water since the complete reduction product of hydroxyl radicals is water. One drawback of AOPs that limit its large-scale application and industrial usage relates to high costs. This book unravels the recent studies on water and wastewater treatment using the advanced oxidation process. Researchers and students in this field will be greatly assisted by it.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, scientific insight into the chemistry of water has increased enormously, leading to the development of advanced wastewater and water purification technologies. However, the quality of freshwater resources has continually deteriorated worldwide, both in industrialized countries and in developing countries. Although traditional wastewater technologies are focused on the removal of suspended solids, nutrients and bacteria, hundreds of organic pollutants occur in wastewater and affected urban surface waters. These new pollutants are synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals that are not often monitored in the environment but have the potential to penetrate the environment and cause known or suspected adverse ecological and/or human health effects. These contaminants are collectively referred to as the "Emerging Contaminants" and are mostly derived from domestic use and occur in trace concentrations ranging from pico to micrograms per litre. Environmental contaminants are recalcitrant for conventional wastewater treatment processes and most of them remain unaffected, leading to the contamination of receiving water. This scenario leads to the need for an advanced wastewater treatment process that can remove environmental contaminants to safely monitor fresh water sources. This book explains the technologies of biological and chemical wastewater treatment processes. The biological wastewater treatment processes presented include: (1) bioremediation of wastewater that includes aerobic treatment (oxidation ponds, aerating lagoons, aerobic bioreactors, active sludge, percolation or drip filters, biological filters, rotating biological contactors, biological removal of nutrients) and anaerobic treatment (anaerobic bioreactors), anaerobic lagoons); (2) phytoremediation of waste water consisting of engineered wetlands, rhizofiltration, rhizodegradation, phytodegradation, phytoaccumulation, Phyto transformation and hyperaccumulators; and (3) mycoremediation of wastewater. The chemical wastewater treatment processes discussed include chemical precipitation (coagulation, flocculation), ion exchange, neutralization, adsorption, and disinfection (chlorination / dechlorination, ozone, UV light). In addition, this chapter explains the wastewater treatment plants and illustrates them in terms of plant size, plant layout, and plant design and installation location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasingly stricter standards for effluent discharge and the decreasing availability of freshwater resources worldwide have made the development of advanced wastewater treatment technologies necessary. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are becoming an attractive alternative and a complementary treatment option to conventional methods. AOPs are used to improve the biodegradability of wastewaters containing non-biodegradable organics. Besides, AOPs may inactivate pathogenic microorganisms without adding additional chemicals to the water during disinfection, avoiding the formation of hazardous by-products. This Special Issue of Processes aims to cover recent progress and novel trends in the field of AOPs, including UV/H2O2, O3, sulphate-radical oxidation, nanotechnology in AOPs, heterogeneous photocatalysis, sonolysis, Fenton, photo-Fenton, electrochemical oxidation, and related oxidation processes. The topics to be addressed in this Special Issue of Processes may also include the application of AOPs at various scales (laboratory, pilot, or industrial scale), the degradation of emerging contaminants in water and wastewater and pollutants in the gas phase, the quantification of toxicicy in residuals, the development of novel catalytic materials and of hybrid processes, including the combination of AOPs with other technologies, process intensification, and the use of photo-electrochemical processes for energy production.
