In air stripping of ammonia from the aqueous solution, a new removal model was presented considering the equilibrium principles for the ammonia in aqueous solution and between the aqueous and air phase. The effects of pH, temperature and airflow rate on the ammonia removal were evaluated with the model. In addition, the saturation degree of ammonia in air was defined and used to evaluate the effect of each experimental factor on the removal rate. As pH (8.9 to 11.9) or temperature (20 to 50 oC) was increased, the overall removal rate constants in all cases were appeared to be increased. Our presented model shows that the degrees of saturation were about the same (0.45) in all cases when the airflow condition remains the same. This result indicates that the effect of pH and temperature were directly taken into consideration in the model equation. As the airflow increases, the overall removal rate constants were increased in all cases as expected. However, the saturation degree was exponentially decreased with increasing the airflow rate in the air phase (or above-surface) aeration. In the subsurface aeration the saturation degree remains a constant value of 0.65 even though the airflow rate was increased. These results indicate that the degree of saturation is affected mainly by the turbulence of the aqueous solution and remains the same above a certain airflow rate.

Liquid-liquid membrane contactor (LLMC), a device that exchanges dissolved gas molecules between the two sides of a hydrophobic membrane through membrane pores, can be employed to extract ammoniacal nitrogen from a feed solution, which is transported across the membrane and accumulated in a stripping solution. This LLMC process offers the promise of improving the sustainability of the global nitrogen cycle by cost-effectively recovering ammonia from wastewater. Despite recent technological advances in LLMC processes, a comprehensive review of their feasibility for ammonia recovery is rarely found in the literature. Our paper aims to close this knowledge gap, and in addition to analyze the challenges and provide potential solutions for improvement. We begin with discussions on the operational principles of the LLMC process for ammonia recovery and membrane types and membrane configurations commonly used in the process. We then assess the performance of the process by reviewing publications that demonstrate its practical application. Challenges involved in the implementation of the LLMC process, such as membrane fouling, membrane wetting, and chemical requirements, are presented, along with discussions on potential strategies to address each. These strategies, including membrane modification, hybrid process design, and process optimization based on cost-benefit analysis, guide the reader to identify key areas of future research and development.

Nitrate contamination of groundwater is a common problem throughout intensive agriculture areas (non-point source pollution). Current processes (e.g. ion exchange and membrane separation) for nitrate removal have various disadvantages. The objective of this study was to evaluate electrochemical method such as electroreduction using bipolar ZVI packed bed electrolytic cell to remove nitrate from groundwater at field pilot. In addition ammonia stripping tower continuously removed up to 77.0% of ammonia. Bipolar ZVI packed bed electrolytic cell also removed E.coli. In the field pilot experiment for groundwater in 'I' city (average nitrate 30~35 mg N/L, pH 6.4), maximum 99.9% removal of nitrate was achieved in the applied 600 V.

공기 폭기법을 통해 암모니아를 제거함에 있어, 반응조의 물리적 인자(폭기 깊이, 공기 방울 크기, 표면적)와 알칼리도가 암모니아의 제거 속도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 30 L/min의 공기를 6~53 cm의 폭기 깊이로 실험한 결과, 폭기 깊이는 암모니아 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. pH가 10.0, 온도가 $30^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아의 제거 속도 상수와 표준편차는 각각 $0.175h^{-1}$, 0.004로 나타났다. 공기 방울의 크기 및 공기상과 접촉하는 수표면의 표면적은 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 폐수의 알칼리도는 암모니아 제거 속도에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 폭기에 의해 이산화탄소가 수용액에 용존되어 pH를 변화시킬 수 있기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 매립지와 하수 종말 처리장에서 채취한 실제 폐수를 대상으로 암모니아 제거 속도를 살펴보았다. 하수 원수(pH = 7.1, alkalinity = 75 mg/L)의 경우, pH를 9.3으로 조절하여도 암모니아 제거 속도가 크게 증가하지 않았다. 그러나, 알칼리도가 높은 침출수 원수(pH = 8.0, alkalinity = 6,525 mg/L)는 초기 pH가 낮음에도 불구하고, 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 상승으로 인해 암모니아 제거 속도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 침출수 원수의 pH를 9.4로 조절한 경우, 하수 원수와 달리 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 저하가 나타나지 않아 암모니아 제거 속도가 유지 되었다.

Landfill waste decomposition generates a dark effluent named, leachate which is characterized by high organic matter content. To minimize these polluting effects, it becomes necessary to develop an effective landfill leachate treatment process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of an innovative approach based on air stripping, anaerobic digestion (AD) and aerobic activated sludge treatment. A reduction of 80% of ammonia and an increase of carbon to nitrogen ratio to 25 were obtained, which is a suitable ratio for AD. This latter AD was performed in fixed bed reactor with progressive loading rate that reached 2 and 3.2 g COD/L/d for the raw and diluted leachate (1:2), respectively. The anaerobic treatment led to significant removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biogas production, especially for the diluted leachate. The COD removal was of 78% for the raw leachate and a biogas production of 4 L/d with 70% methane content. The use of the diluted leachate led to 81% of COD removal and 7 L/d biogas with 75% methane content. It allowed a removal of 77% COD and more than 97% of the organic compounds present in the initial leachate sample.

본 연구에서는 합성폐수로부터 암모니아 탈기 시 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐과 일반 노즐이 장착된 각각의 제트 루프 반응기를 이용하여 조업조건 변화에 따른 암모니아 제거효율과 총괄물질전달계수($K_La$)를 각각 얻은 후, 이를 통해 성능을 비교하였다. 운전변수로는 pH(pH = 10-12), 액체순환유량($Q_L=25-35L\;min^{-1}$), 공기유입량($Q_G=5-20L\;min^{-1}$)을 변화시키며 실험하였다. 실험결과, 동일한 조업조건에서 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐(two-fluid venturi-type swirl nozzle, TVSN)이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기가 이유체 벤츄리형 일반 노즐(two-fluid venturi-type conventional nozzle, TVCN)이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기보다 암모니아 제거효율과 $K_La$가 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기에서 형성된 선회류 흐름에 의해 난류강도가 이유체 벤츄리형 일반 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기에 비해 높기 때문이라 판단된다. 또한, 실험조건 범위에서 $K_La$는 pH, 공기유입량 및 액체순환유량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히, 실험변수 중 공기유입량이 pH나 액체순환유량에 비해 $K_La$에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Platinum group metals (pgm) are useful to many industries such as chemical, dental and medical, petroleum, refining, electrical and electronic, and automotive. Researchers at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and PGM Recovery Ltd. have developed jointly an environmentally sound and metallurgically efficient process for extracting these metals from secondary sources. Once these metals have been dissolved in the leach liquor, the individual metals mainly platinum, palladium, and rhodium, should be separated in order to recover the individual metals with high purity. During this investigation, solvent extraction has been chosen as the method used to achieve the separation and extraction of platinum, palladium, and rhodium from the leach liquor. There were three solutions used throughout this procedure: 1) Synthetic solution (200 ppm Pt 80 ppm Pd 20 ppm Rh; 300 ppm Pt, 180 ppm Pd 50 ppm Rh), and 2) Auto catalyst leach liquors (100 ppm Pt, 30 ppm Pd, 20 ppm Rh). The solvents investigated included Lix 84(2-hydroxy-5-nonylacetonphenone oxime in a mixture with 5-dodecylsalicyloxime), Lix 84-I, ACORGA CLX-50 (diester of pyridine 3,5 dicarboxylic acid), and di-hexyl sulfide. The extraction values achieved using ACORGA CLX-50, Lix 84, and Lix 84-I were respectively Pt (25%, 0% 0%), Pd (100%, 99.8%, 95.3%), and Rh (99.1%, 35.5%, 4.25%). The stripping processes for the Lix 84, and Lix 84-I were proven to be more involved than others. The solutions were required to be simultaneously heated and stirred. The percentages acquired through these processes yielded unsatisfactory results. The stripping procedure for the ACORGA CLX-50 was easier to execute, yet the percentage recovered from this process was also unsatisfactory. Overall the di-hexyl sulfide has proved to be the most successful organic for this procedure. The average percent extracted for palladium was excellent with 99.9% - 100% with very little Platinum and rhodium extracted. The ability of stripping palladium in ammonia solution was also found to be excellent.

This study evaluated the performance of a thermophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion (TTPAD) coupled with membrane process treating garbage leachate. The pilot-scale treatment system is consisted of thermophilic acidogenic reactor (TAR) and thermophilic methanogenic reactor (TMR) coupled with an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane unit. The hydraulic retention time of TAR and TMR were 4 and 20 days, respectively. Effluent TCOD and SCOD of the TTPAD were $25\;{\pm}\;6\;and\;12\;{\pm}\;3$ g/L, respectively, and the corresponding TCOD and SCOD removal efficiencies were 77% and 81%, respectively. Propionate was major acids as 75% in the effluent. Scum formation was not observed in TTPAD, which might be resulted from complete lipid degradation. However, TTPAD was appeared to be sensitive to free ammonia toxicity. The UF membrane was operated with constant pressure filtration at average TMP 1.3 atm. Permeate flux had a range of 15-30 $L/m^2/hr$. With UF membrane, TCOD removal increased from 77% to 93%, and this SS free effluent would be beneficial to subsequent processes such as ammonia stripping.
