The treatment challenges associated with poly-/perfluoroalkyl substances, in particular, have renewed interest VUV photolysis, which offers a relatively simple and effective means of PFAS degradation. Since LP-Hg lamps have traditionally been used more widely in ultraviolet-C applications, output data and operational guidelines specific to VUV applications are more difficult to access or measure. Herein, we assessed perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) photodegradation efficiency using LP-Hg lamp systems from various manufacturers to gauge the variability in 185 nm output and isolate key design and operational aspects. Results indicated a wide variation in VUV output efficiency, with over a 90 % reduction in electrical energy per order destruction (EE/O) between the least and most effective combinations of lamp, ballast, and quartz sleeves, as a result of their physical design aspects. Furthermore, we found that output efficiency was significantly affected by the steady-state temperature achieved when submerged in the photoreactor, relative to the intended operating temperature of the lamp. Consequently, VUV intensity comparisons performed in an N<sub>2</sub>-purged collimated beam with VUV radiometer were not useful predictors of relative performance when submerged in a photoreactor. The results also suggest that many past laboratory studies of VUV photolytic treatment approaches likely used sub-optimal lamp system configurations, resulting in misleading results with respect to the energy efficiency of VUV treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water process engineering","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 107909"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143928079","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, an electrostatic–swirling demulsifier, designed based on the principle of enhancing droplet migration through electrostatic–swirling coupling was combined with electrode insulation modification to regulate the droplet capture mode. Through multiphysics simulations and experimental tests, it was first clarified that the electric field force dominates the migration of water droplets to the side wall in the electrostatic–swirling coupling. The electric field force is 1.43-4.11 times of the centrifugal force. Secondly, the relationship between the migration trajectory of droplets, electric field, surface charge density, and continuous phase characteristics was articulated. The migration trajectory is affected by various factors. As the voltage (1 kV to 8 kV), surface charge density (1 × 10<sup>-5</sup>C/m<sup>2</sup> to 5 × 10<sup>-5</sup>C/m<sup>2</sup>) and continuous phase viscosity (11 cP to 6 cP) change, the migration time and angle of water droplets decrease significantly, from 52 ms and 210° to 14 ms and 50°, respectively. This shift causes the “collision site” to move far away from the continuous phase outlet, enabling the insulating modified film on the side wall to quickly capture and separate the water droplets.

The adsorption effect of the granular sludge was found to dominate over its biodegradation capacity. The Spiral Symmetry Stream Anaerobic Bioreactor (SSSAB) demonstrated effective degradation of PVA-containing desizing and vinylon wastewater, achieving a volumetric loading rate (VLR) of 5.96 kg COD/(m<sup>3</sup>·d) and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate of up to 43.3 %. The anaerobic biodegradation mechanism of PVA-containing desizing and vinylon wastewater was elucidated. The main organic matter in the influent and effluent water of the SSSAB consisted of benzene, which accounted for 78.2 % and 88.5 % of the total organic matter, respectively. The addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was shown to enhance the stability and volumetric removal efficiency (VRE) of the SSSAB system in treating PVA-containing desizing and vinylon wastewater, increasing the average volumetric removal rate from 0.72 kg COD/(m<sup>3</sup>·d) to 1.77 kg COD/(m<sup>3</sup>·d). CNTs also improved the zeta potential of the granular sludge and the characteristics of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These findings provide novel insights and empirical data to support the scaling-up of the SSSAB for treating high-concentration PVA-containing desizing and vinylon wastewater.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water process engineering","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 107861"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143917665","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}
