Anion exchange resin sorption of dissolved natural organic matter (NOM) may follow an isotherm of either Type I or Type II, which are noticeably different at high surface coverage. The charge density of NOM, which monotonically increases with the pH, appears to play a critical role. Basic pH (high charge density) favors a Type I isotherm and acidic pH (low charge density) may change the isotherm to Type II. The Langmuir equation and the Wiegner-Jenny-Summers-Roberts (WJSR) equation can be used to quantify the Type I and Type II isotherms, respectively. Explicit relationships between minimum resin usage and desired level of removal are subsequently developed and the isotherm constants, along with the non-removable NOM fraction, are simultaneously estimated by an innovative least-squares regression (LSR) approach.

The focus is the identification of a cost effective configuration of transportation routes, transfer stations, processing facilities and secure long-term storage impoundments. Wastes generated in North Carolina are studied as a useful example of linear programming applications in general and options available within a given state in particular. The value of the techniques are highlighted as are their limitations. The usefulness in developing relative costs of alternatives is stressed, particularly in the ability of the techniques to conduct sensitivity analyses in a topic area where data may not be generally available. Suggestions are made for overcoming data shortcomings. In the case study, the options are seen to revolve around the state of North Carolina's expressed desire to locate one large centralized storage landfill. From a pure cost standpoint, other management facilities like transfer stations and incinerators appear to be precluded even with optimal routing to and from the facilities. From other viewpoints, including risk aversion to spills while the waste is in transit, the inclusion of these facilities in the states program can be supported.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78524279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal was an increased methane yield from refuse lignocellulose. Batch digestibility assays were employed to ascertain the separate effects of solids concentration (0.79 - 10.0 percent), sodium hydroxide concentration (75 - 300 meq/l), and temperature (25 - 250°C) on the methane yield from refuse. Consumption of added alkali was observed and found to be relatively constant per unit mass of refuse solids. Various semi-continuous reactor configurations were evaluated. These studies resulted in investigation of a two-stage digestion system, with the second digester fed alkaline-heat-treated (180 meq/l NaOH, 200°C, 2.1 percent solids, 1 hour) effluent from the first. Such a system operated on newsprint was capable of increasing the methane yield by 80 percent, compared with the yield from a single-stage digester fed raw newsprint. A major limitation appears to be digester inhibition noticeable whenever the concentration of heat-treated lignin products exceeds 1 g/l.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81296207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
