Therefore, we evaluated associations between physicochemical parameters using multivariate statistical methods, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Ascendant Classification (HAC). Our findings categorize the monthly water samples into three distinct groups based on levels of organic pollution: the first group (July, August, and September) is characterized by high oxygenation levels and significantly low organic pollution, indicating optimal system operation. The second group (April, October, November, and December) exhibits low oxygenation and low organic pollution, promoting sludge settling and pollutant reduction. The third group (January, February, March, May, and June) shows significantly high organic pollution and low oxygenation, which corresponds to unfavorable environmental conditions. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of multivariate statistical methods in optimizing wastewater treatment processes, providing crucial insights for environmental sustainability and water resource management.","PeriodicalId":23653,"journal":{"name":"Water Science and Technology","volume":"90 4","pages":"1290-1305"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142112609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finding a monthly precipitation simulation model with robust fitting performance is a significant research endeavor in practical precipitation prediction. This paper introduces two modified African vulture optimization algorithms (MAVOA1 and MAVOA2). It provides hyperparameter optimization techniques for the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), long short-term memory neural network (LSTM), and random forest (RF) models. These techniques are used to construct a monthly precipitation simulation model based on algorithmic optimization coupled with variational mode decomposition for full decomposition. The test results at five typical stations in the North China Plain reveal the following: (1) the LSSVM model demonstrates significantly better performance than the LSTM and RF models. (2) the MAVOA2-LSSVM model has the best-integrated effect: the average test fitting error is RMSE = 17.50 mm/month, MRE = 117.25%, NSE = 0.90, which shows its superiority in practical application and can significantly improve the accuracy of precipitation prediction; MAVOA2 is more suitable for machine learning models with more hyperparameters of its own, which provides a reference for hyperparameter optimization algorithms in the other fields.","PeriodicalId":23653,"journal":{"name":"Water Science and Technology","volume":"90 4","pages":"1164-1180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142112607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrochemical oxidation technology is promising due to its high catalytic degradation ability. In this study, Co-Bi/GAC particle electrodes were prepared and characterized for degradation of 1,4-dioxane. The electrochemical process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), and the influence of water quality factors on the removal rate of 1,4-dioxane was investigated. The results showed that the main influencing factors were the Co/Bi mass ratio and calcination temperature. The carrier metals, Co and Bi, existed mainly on the GAC surface as Co3O4 and Bi2O3. The removal of 1,4-dioxane was predominantly achieved through the synergistic reaction of electrode adsorption, anodic oxidation, and particle electrode oxidation, with ·OH playing a significant role as the main active free radical. Furthermore, the particle electrode was demonstrated in different acid-base conditions (pH = 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11). However, high concentrations of Cl- and NO3- hindered the degradation process, potentially participating in competitive reactions. Despite this, the particle electrode exhibited good stability after five cycles. The results provide a new perspective for constructing efficient and stable three-dimensional (3D) electrocatalytic particle electrodes to remove complex industrial wastewater.","PeriodicalId":23653,"journal":{"name":"Water Science and Technology","volume":"90 4","pages":"1132-1148"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142112612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis shows that the macrophytic development has increased due to organic and inorganic load, leading to the Lake's deterioration. The analysis indicates positive and negative correlations among various parameters across five sampling sites. Principal component analysis shows that two components (PC1 and PC2) explain 47.35, 47.54, and 48.11% of the variability in the years 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively.

Despite most industrial wastewater being discharged at lower ambient temperatures (<20 °C), majority of the high-rate anaerobic reactors are operated at mesophilic temperatures (>30 °C). High-rate low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) has proven successful in treating industrial wastewater both at laboratory and pilot scales, boasting efficient organic removal and biogas production. In this study, we demonstrated the feasibility of two full-scale high-rate LtAD bioreactors treating meat processing and dairy wastewater, and the microbial communities in both reactors were examined. Both reactors exhibited rapid start-up, achieving considerable chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies (total COD removal >80%) and generating high-quality biogas (CH4% in biogas >75%). Long-term operations (6-12 months) underscored the robustness of LtAD bioreactors even during winter periods (average temperature <12 °C), as evidenced by sustained high COD removal rates (total COD removal >80%). The stable performance was underpinned by a resilient microbial community comprising active acetoclastic methanogens, hydrolytic, and fermentative bacteria.

Accurate pressure loss calculation is crucial for hydraulic transport pipelines, particularly in the case of bends, valves, and other deformation parts. These factors directly impact the energy consumption and the investment of the system. This paper employed the Euler-Euler multiphase flow model to investigate the characteristics of solid-liquid two-phase flow in vertically positioned combined elbows. The model was initially validated using data from the literature. Subsequently, based on the validated model, an investigation was conducted to determine the relationship between pressure loss and various factors, including flow velocity, combined angle, particle concentration, and particle size. Finally, the changes in velocity distribution, particle concentration, and turbulent kinetic energy were analyzed. The results indicate that the pressure loss increases with the flow velocity, tends to decrease with the combined angle, and increases with the particle concentration. The relationship between pressure loss and particle size is more complex. The velocity distribution, particle concentration, and turbulent kinetic energy exhibit the variations caused by different factors.","PeriodicalId":23653,"journal":{"name":"Water Science and Technology","volume":"90 4","pages":"1099-1114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142112608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
