Effluent was applied through sprinklers at rates of 50 mm/week, 100 mm/week, 150 mm/week, and 200mm/week during the period April-October. Yields and nutrient recovery were determined. Yields and nutrient uptake showed an increase with irrigation rate, while efficiency of nutrient recovery decreased. The content (dry weight basis) of dry matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium increased with irrigation rate. Recovery efficiencies for calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and zinc were all below 100%, indicating adequate quantities of these elements. Based on these results, nitrogen recovery of 50% to 75% would be expected at 50 mm/week irrigation rate. With proper weed control, yields of 13 mtons/ha would be expected, with a harvest frequency of approximately 4 weeks. Supplemental potassium might be required since the K/N ratio of effluent usually lies below that of coastal bermuda grass.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":"26 1","pages":"55-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87166708","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}

Addition of flyash did not improve the initial settling velocity of the sludge. Total filter yields and true filter yields were improved partly by addition of flyash. Lime scrubber sludge was stabilized by adding: lime and flyash; or lime, flyash, and silica. The resulting strength is similar to that of overconsolidated clays. New gel or crystal formation was observed in stabilized sludges, and could be responsible for the gain in sludge strength. Fixation of sludge reduced permeability and retarded the mobility of arsenic, boron, calcium, chloride, and other compounds. Lattice complexes formed may help to prevent leaching of these substances. Fixation did not significantly retard mobility of aluminum, cadmium, COD, chromium, copper, lead, phosphate, and other elements.

Nonlinear cost equations are used to model the cost of the individual unit processes in terms of unit process sizes and capacities. The Box-Complex algorithm, a numerical search technique, is then used to determine the optimum sizes of the unit process to minimize the sum of capital and operating costs for a specified design inflow, effluent quality, and equipment limitation. Less than 3 sec of execution time on a CDC CYBER 173 using an FTN compiler are required to determine the optimum.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":"6 1","pages":"1101-1117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84891495","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 lack of design and operation experience in batch treatment has resulted in an experience void that has fostered the selection of continuous flow rather than batch treatment schemes. System selection should depend instead upon suitability of the system, reliability, efficiency, consistency, and economics. Bench, pilot, and full-scale investigations, and desk top and computer analyses must supplement existing bench scale studies if the experience void is to be filled. Several hypothetical examples are used to partially fill the void by comparing volumes for both the batch and continuous flow system. In the examples, sequencing batch treatment provides the potential for achieving effluent limitations in a total volume notably less than that for a conventional continuous flow system. This adds to previously recognized advantages that include holding a waste until proper treatment is achieved.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":"47 1","pages":"503-514"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91347974","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 bench scale tests involve both adsorption rate and isotherm measurements that are used to determine isotherm equation parameters and surface diffusion coefficients for model calibration. Liquid-phase mass transfer coefficients for fixed-bed operation are obtained from literature correlations; parameter values used for model calibration are presented.
