Retention and separation of PAC is essential as PAC loaded with micropollutants should not be released into the environment. Determining the activated carbon (AC) residual in the effluent poses a challenge, as there is currently no on-line measurement method. In this study, the correlation between turbidity, measured by scattered light, and absorption at wavelength of 550 nm (Absorption<sub>550 nm</sub>), measured by transmitted light, was investigated in relation to the AC residue. Linear correlations for turbidity (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.95) and Absorption<sub>550 nm</sub> (R<sup>2</sup> = 1.00) to AC concentrations were observed in both laboratory and full-scale experiments in a pilot plant where superfine PAC was added prior to Pile Cloth Media Filtration (PCMF). Decreasing the particle size (d<sub>50</sub>) while maintaining the same AC concentration leads to increased turbidity: Therefore, a fourfold reduction in d<sub>50</sub> results in a 2- to 3-fold increase in turbidity, whereas a 30-fold reduction in d<sub>50</sub> leads to a 6-to 8-fold increase. Furthermore, the original wastewater turbidity led to a parallel shift in the linear correlation between turbidity and AC. Coagulant doses of up to 400 mg Me<sup>3+</sup>/g AC resulted in a 50% reduction in turbidity. However, higher concentrations from 400 to 1,000 mg Me<sup>3+</sup>/g AC resulted in increased turbidity with only a 30% reduction compared to the initial turbidity. The study also highlights the significance of AC particle size in optical measurements, impacting result accuracy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100222"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589914724000124/pdfft?md5=84e3462cd360e8fd750e27ee841f3757&pid=1-s2.0-S2589914724000124-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140551633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduced a revised two-stage PN/A process, namely partial nitritation/denitritation-anammox (PN-DN/A) process. Its effectiveness was investigated through both pilot-scale (12 t/d) and full-scale (400 t/d) operations, showcasing stable operation with an impressive total removal rate of over 90 % for total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) and exceeding 60 % for COD. Notably, 30 % of TIN was eliminated through heterotrophic denitritation in partial nitritation-denitritation (PN-DN) stage, while approximately 55 % of TIN removal occurred in the anammox stage with anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) enrichment (<em>Candidatus</em> Kuenenia, 25.9 % and 26.6 % relative abundance for pilot and full scale).

However, there is only limited information on the (microbial) water quality from implemented systems. The focus of this study was on two best-in-class on-site water reuse systems in Bengaluru, India, which typically met the local water quality requirements during monthly compliance testing. This study aimed to (i) assess the microbial quality of the reclaimed water at a high temporal resolution (daily or every 15 min), and (ii) explore whether measurements from commercially available sensors can be used to improve the operation of such systems. The monitoring campaign revealed high variations in microbial water quality, even in these best-in-class systems, rendering the water inadequate for the intended reuse applications (toilet flushing and landscape irrigation). These variations were attributed to two key factors: (1) the low frequency of chlorination, and (2) fluctuations of the chlorine demand of the water, in particular of ammonium concentrations. Such fluctuations are likely inherent to on-site systems, which rely on a low level of process control. The monitoring campaign showed that the microbial water quality was most closely related to oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) and free chlorine sensors. Due to its relatively low cost and low need for maintenance, the ORP emerges as a compelling candidate for automating the chlorination to effectively manage variations in chlorine demand and ensure safe water reuse. Overall, this study underscores the necessity of integrating treatment trains, operation, and monitoring for safe on-site water reuse.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589914724000057/pdfft?md5=1669853b85807b6e450d744ba8902ca0&pid=1-s2.0-S2589914724000057-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139966326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we introduce a novel, generic approach that explicitly combines the gravimetric composition of various solid constituents and poly-parameter linear free energy relationships to calculate the solid-water sorption coefficient (<em>K</em><sub>d</sub>) for non-ionizable or predominantly neutral organic chemicals with diverse properties in a neutral environment. Our approach demonstrates an overall statistical uncertainty of approximately 0.9 log units associated with predictions for different types of soil. By applying this approach to estimate the sorption of 70 diverse chemicals from water to two types of soils, we uncover that different chemicals predominantly exhibit sorption onto different soil constituents. Moreover, we provide mechanistic insights into the limitation of relying solely on organic carbon normalized sorption coefficient (<em>K</em><sub>OC</sub>) in chemical hazard assessment, as the measured <em>K</em><sub>OC</sub> can vary significantly across different soil types, and therefore, a universal cut-off threshold may not be appropriate.

Urease enzyme, found in various organisms such as plants and bacteria, catalyze the hydrolysis of urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. In this study, urease was immobilized on the polyamide layer of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane to remove urea in UPW systems. The removal efficiency of urea by urease-coated RO membrane showed up to 27.9 % higher urea removal efficiency compared to the pristine membrane. This increase in urea removal can be attributed to both physical and biological effects from the urease coating on the membrane. Firstly, urease on the membrane surface can act as an additional physical barrier for urea to pass through. Secondly, urea can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme when it passes through the urease-coated RO membrane. In a two-pass RO system typical for UPW production, the removal of urea by a urease-coated membrane would be enhanced by twofold. This overall method can significantly increase the removal efficiency of urea in UPW systems, especially when considering the compounded removal by the urease coating, rejection by RO, and additional reactions by other treatment processes. Moreover, urea in UPW systems can be removed without the installment of additional processes by simply coating urease on the existing RO membranes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100211"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258991472400001X/pdfft?md5=7a947ef7253f7558d3798de9aa059fdb&pid=1-s2.0-S258991472400001X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139487597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To effectively monitor P levels in water, there is a need for simple measurement tools and extensive public involvement to enable regular and widespread sampling. Several smartphone-based P measurement methods have been reported, which extract red-green-blue (RGB) values from colorimetric reactions to build statistical regression models for P quantification. However, these methods typically require meticulous light conditions, involve initial equipment investment, and have undergone limited testing for large-scale applications. To overcome these limitations, this study developed a smartphone-based, equipment-free and facile P colorimetric analysis method. Following the standard procedure of the ascorbic acid approach, colorimetric reactions were captured by a smartphone camera, and RGB values were extracted using Python code for modeling. Different indoor light conditions, phone types, containers, and types of water samples were examined, resulting in a collection of 1922 images. The best regression model, employing random forest with RGB values and container types as inputs, achieved an R<sup>2</sup> of 0.97 and an RMSE of 0.051 for P concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 mg P/L. Additionally, the optimal classification model could estimate the level of P below 0.1 mg P/L with an accuracy of 95.2 (or 77.4 % for &lt;0.05 mg P/L). The strong performance of the developed models, which are also available freely online, suggests an easy and effective tool for more frequent P measurement and greater public involvement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100217"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589914724000070/pdfft?md5=1ca9f055bd1a9fcb920a1fd605e425cd&pid=1-s2.0-S2589914724000070-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140069286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
