To do this, two sequential extraction procedures were performed in media samples obtained after the system treated highly acidic, metal and arsenic rich contaminated water. Advanced techniques were also employed to detect arsenic and metals in the media samples and discover possible changes in their composition. According to the arsenic fractioning revealed by the first procedure, which targets arsenic only, the main arsenic removal mechanisms depended on the media type. In limestone: coprecipitation with very amorphous iron oxyhydroxides and carbonates, since of the total extracted (982 mg As/kg), the fraction associated with these phases was 51.8 %; whereas in zeolite, of the total extracted (400 mg As/kg), the adsorbed fraction was 79.4 %. Conversely, the second procedure, which targets metals, indicated that the main mechanism was bonding to iron and manganese oxides in both media types, since this fraction was 78.8 % of the total extracted in zeolite (211 mg As/kg), and 68.9 % of the total extracted in limestone (272 mg As/kg) (average values). The iron fractioning indicated that iron was mainly removed by precipitation of very amorphous and amorphous iron oxyhydroxides in zeolite and limestone cells. Changes in the composition of both media were detected after being used as wetland media. To elucidate arsenic fractioning, sequential extraction procedures targeting arsenic instead of metals must be employed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water process engineering","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 108354"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we propose an integrated prediction framework combining an improved Water Quality Index (WQI), multivariate analysis, and a self-adaptive ElasticForest model. The proposed framework is applied to the Songhua River Basin in China to evaluate and predict surface water quality under changing climatic conditions. The improved WQI method assesses water quality, followed by cluster analysis identifying two representative hydrological periods: ice period (IP) and wet period (WP). Principal component analysis and factor analysis extract major pollution sources, while Random Forest selects key water quality indicators for each stage. The proposed ElasticForest model combines the nonlinear learning capacity of RandomForest with the regularization strength of ElasticNet. This integration allows for efficient variable selection and robust prediction under conditions of high dimensionality, limited samples, and multicollinearity. By including water temperature and rainfall, the model enhances its sensitivity to climate-driven changes in water quality and achieves high prediction accuracy (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.978 for IP; R<sup>2</sup> = 0.989 for WP), outperforming both traditional and ensemble models in stability and generalizability. Ultimately, the relationship between sediment heavy metals and water parameters is analyzed. High-risk metals like Hg, Cd, and Ni show positive correlation with TN, DO, and BOD, while Cu and Zn are negatively correlated with nutrients. These findings suggest sediments shape pollution dynamics via biogeochemical processes.

It resulted in a 3- to 5-fold increase in True colour and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), representing an increase of Natural Organic Matter (NOM), in Nepean Dam, south of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The increased NOM caused the formation of ‘weak flocs’ in the coagulation process that broke up in dual media gravity filters, resulting in a premature backwash and short filter run time. There is no practical method to measure ‘floc strength’ in an operating water treatment facility. This research identified a novel method to assess the ‘flocs condition’ during filtration, either ‘weak’ or ‘strong’, by calculating the rate of turbidity change and reporting it as a ‘turbidity breakthrough slope’ in NTU/day (NTU/d). The end-of-run head loss of the filter represents the energy at which the flocs break. Consequently, this research used the end-of-run head loss of a filter to measure floc strength. The turbidity breakthrough slope and filter end-of-run head loss are linearly correlated, and by using the correlation, a novel Floc Strength Model (FSM) has been developed. Applying the FSM at Nepean Water Filtration Plant (WFP), for ‘very strong flocs’ and ‘very weak flocs’ conditions, the calculated ‘floc strengths’ were 2.2 m and 0.57 m (measured in ‘meter (m)’ of water column), respectively. The FSM is a practical and in-situ method to monitor ‘floc strength’ in real time during a filter operation. It enables dynamic optimisation of water treatment. As soon as the filtered water turbidity starts to increase (start of turbidity breakthrough) in a filter, the FSM calculates and predicts the low ‘floc strength’ (end-of-run head loss) of the ‘very weak flocs’ and accordingly predicts the run time of the filter. Plant operators can then proactively optimise the chemical doses to change the flocs condition to ‘very strong flocs’ and improve ‘floc strength’ and filter run time before the end of the filter operation cycle.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water process engineering","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 108345"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system demonstrated a treatment capacity of 5 m<sup>3</sup>/h for ASP flooding produced water. The integrated process effectively removed oil content, suspended solids, and organic pollutants from the produced water. Experimental results revealed that the microbial reactor achieved removal rates of 95.36 % for oil content and 62.74 % for suspended solids. Subsequent three-stage filtration enhanced effluent quality to meet the stringent water reinjection standards for low-permeability reservoirs in Daqing Oilfield's polymer flooding produced water. This study comprehensively analyzed microbial community composition and structural changes within the bioreactor, identifying dominant bacterial species across different functional zones and elucidating their roles in pollutant degradation. With an operational cost of 1.15 CNY/m<sup>3</sup>, the proposed process demonstrates superior economic viability and environmental sustainability compared to conventional physicochemical processes. The advanced treatment process proposed in this study provides a novel technical approach to ensure stable compliance with standards and development requirements for ASP flooding produced water quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water process engineering","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 108392"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
