Compared with conventional A2/O process, this modified A2/O process adds a pre anaerobic stage, and introduces inflow into pre-anaerobic, anaerobic and anoxic tank simultaneously. These measures bring about a further improvement of nitrogen and phosphorus in urban wastewater. The monitoring results for one year show that the influent concentrations of BOD, NH4-N, TN, TP are 21.9-263.0, 16.3-30.8, 9.7-668 and 1.0-11.3 mg L-l, respectively. After the treatment of modified A2/O process, the average effluent concentrations of BOD, NH4-N, TN, TP are 6.5, 0.6, 10.4, 0.6 mg L-l, and the average removal rates are 93.5%, 96.9%, 61.5% and 78.9%, respectively. The effluent quality meets the 1 B level discharging criteria in China. The operation results show that the modified A2/O process can achieve a high reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus in spite of the fluctuation of influent, and can be widely used in municipal wastewater treatment plants.","PeriodicalId":6438,"journal":{"name":"2011 5th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85974201","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 optimum conditions of fermented milk are as follows: the ratio of L.c to L.h was 2:1, fermentation temperature was 30°C and inoculum sizeis was 3%(w/w). The optimum conditions of yogurt drinking were as follows: fermented milk 32%(w/w), sugar 6.4%(w/w), acidity of fermented milk was 200°T. The main components of the final production were determined as total solids 12.5%, protein 1.29%, the concentration of viable counts was 2.8×108 cfu/mL. Due to the lowest sedimentation rate, pectin was the the best stabilizer, moreover, the production made from pectin, was of uniform and exquisite texture and diverged special aroma. Suitable dosage was 0.26%(w/w). Acidity was an important factor of flavor in milk beverage. In our research, acidity from starter culture was distinct from traditional method of adding sour agent in the later period.

Llarena","doi":"10.1109/ICBBE.2011.5781217","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICBBE.2011.5781217","url":null,"abstract":"Shells of Tahong {Perna viridis), Kuhol ((Helix pomatia), and Talaba (Crassostrea gigas) are considered wastes and are normally dumped in open garbage areas or back to the aquatic system. Many studies showed that family of oysters, mussels, and snails are used as bio-indicators or used in accumulation monitoring studies of metals like Cd, Pb, Cu and Hg since their soft tissues absorb it. Their shells, as they may contain chitin or chitosan may also have the ability to absorb heavy metals.As the waste shells are being reused/recycled, waste materials in the environment are decreased. Vectors of diseases that swarm waste areas will be diminished and thus safeguard public health.In general, this study aimed to assess the ability of shells of Perna viridis (tahong), Crassostrea gigas (talaba) and Helix pomatia (kuhol) to de-lead simulated lead-contaminated waste water. Specifically, this study aimed to compare the ability of shells of Perna viridis (tahong), Crassostrea gigas (talaba) and Helix pomatia (kuhol) to de-lead simulated lead-contaminated waste water. It also aimed to assess if concentrations of lead in waste water affect the absorption of lead by the shell samples and if variances in types of shells affect absorption of lead in waste water. Tahong, Talaba and Kuhol absorbed lead in simulated waste water. However, the inherent amount of lead in the different shells affected its ability to absorb it. Talaba and kuhol, due to its inherently high lead concentrations failed to absorb lead from simulated waste water as the amount of the heavy metal increased. Statistical analysis showed that the concentrations of the simulated waste water affected the absorbance of lead by chitin and chitosan from different shells. Also, chitin and chitosan extracted from different kinds of shells affected lead absorption in varied concentrations of simulated waste water. Tahong shells showed the most efficient absorption of lead from simulated waste water preparations. Using the different shells in the differently concentrated SWW, the percentage of lead removed ranged from -15.899% to 63.539%. Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to quantitate the lead levels in simulated waste water, and chitin and chitosan extracted from the three waste shells used in this study. As there is promise to clean the waste waters from lead pollutants using Tahong, Talaba and Kuhol, it is recommended that other shell wastes be studied for similar objectives as this study. Likewise, pH of waste water, time of contact, temperature during treatment and agitation must be looked into to optimize the de-leading ability of these shells. Further absorption of other heavy metals is suggested to be analyzed as well.","PeriodicalId":6438,"journal":{"name":"2011 5th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"31 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81223289","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}
