Fractionation and origin of dissolved and colloidal organic nitrogen in BNR plant effluent
PublicationThe characteristics of effluent dissolved and colloidal organic nitrogen (DON and CON) as well as their origin, fate and biodegradability in wastewater treatment plants and receiving waters were identified as the major issues that limit the ability to achieve low total N in the effluent. This study presents the results of a comprehensive survey, which was conducted in eight biological nutrient removal (BNR) WWTPs in northern Poland....

Geochemical fractionation of organic matter in the Jurassic-Cretaceous Vaca Muerta shale, Argentina
PublicationSeveral studies have indicated the presence of more than one generation of bitumen that could be isolated from rocks through sequential extraction or after demineralization or both. Nabbefeld et al. (2010a) and Holman et al. (2012, 2014) termed bitumen obtained after solvent extraction from the undigested rock as “Bitumen I" and that obtained by extraction after demineralization of rock as “Bitumen II.” The occurrence of different...

Influence of dissolved organic nitrogen on surface waters
PublicationThe aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) contained in biologically treated wastewater disposed from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to biodegradability and bioavailability in a water environment. Additionally an evaluation was performed of the participation of this organic nitrogen fraction, including bioavailable DON (bDON), in the nitrogen balance for the Baltic...

Modeling organic nitrogen conversions in activated sludge bioreactors
PublicationFor biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems designed to maximize nitrogen removal, the effluent total nitrogen (TN) concentration may range from 2.0 to 4.0 g N/m3 with about 25-50% in the form of organic nitrogen (ON). In this study, current approaches to modeling organic N conversions (separate processes vs. constant contents of organic fractions) were compared. A new conceptual model of ON conversions was developed and combined...

Effect of organic nitrogen concentration on the efficiency of trickling filters
PublicationThe study was conducted in Poland at six selected wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) based on the trickling filters Bioclere® technology. The aim of the study was to find the relationship between the influent organic nitrogen concentration and the purification efficiency expressed as effluent COD concentration. In the tests performed, the COD to BOD5 relationship was close to 2 and the ratio of BOD5 to TN was lower than 4. The...

Modeling organic nitrogen conversions in activated sludge bioreactors
PublicationOpracowano model przemian azotu organicznego (Norg)jako rozszerzenie Modelu Osadu Czynnego Nr 2d (ASM2d). Nowy model zawiera trzy frakcje Norg: rozpuszczoą, koloidalną i zawesinową. Każda frakcja została podzielona na dwie podfrakcje - rozkładalną i nierozkładalną. Model został zweryfikowany w oparciu o wyniki badań eksperymentalnych w oczyszczalni ścieków Gdańsk-Wschód.

Effluent dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) studies in Poland
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań prowadzonych w 8 komunalnych oczyszczalniach ścieków w Polsce północnej. Badania obejmowały pomiar stężeń różnych frakcji azotu organicznego po części mechanicznej oraz w odpływie z oczyszczalni, profile podłużne stężeń wewnątrz komór osadu czynnego, a także analizę czyników wpływających na stężenia rozpuszczonego azotu organicznego w odpływie z badanych oczyszczalni.

Influence of nitrogen and organic matter fractions on wastewater treatment in treatment wetland
PublicationMunicipal wastewater contains both biodegradable and non-degradable pollutants. Moreover, they are present in dissolved, colloidal and particulate forms. These fractions are characterised by various decomposition rates, hence their bioavailability during microbial respiration. It was confirm that biological degradation rate in terms of COD reduction is influenced by particle size speciation. Therefore, the objective of the study...

Characteristics and fate of organic nitrogen in municipal biological nutrient removal wastewater treatment plants
PublicationThe aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and fate of colloidal and dissolved organic nitrogen (CON and DON) across biological nutrient removal (BNR) activated sludge bioreactors. Primary and secondary effluent total nitrogen (TN) measurements and component fractionation, CON and DON concentration profiles across BNR bioreactors, and laboratory batch experiments with the process mixed liquor were carried out at several...

Removal of organic matter and nitrogen in an horizontalsubsurface flow (HSSF) constructed wetland undertransient loads
PublicationA monitoring campaign in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland under the influence of transient loads of flow-rate, organic matter, nitrogen and suspended solids showed an irregular removal of COD and TSS and lower both removal efficiencies and mass removal rates than the ones observed in other studies for similar operating conditions. This circumstance is associated to the presence of large amount of particulate organic...

Kinetics of the Organic Compounds and Ammonium Nitrogen Electrochemical Oxidation in Landfill Leachates at Boron-Doped Diamond Anodes
PublicationElectrochemical oxidation (EO) of organic compounds and ammonium in the complex matrix of landfill leachates (LLs) was investigated using three different boron-doped diamond electrodes produced on silicon substrate (BDD/Si)(levels of boron doping [B]/[C] = 500, 10,000, and 15,000 ppm—0.5 k; 10 k, and 15 k, respectively) during 8-h tests. The LLs were collected from an old landfill in the Pomerania region (Northern Poland) and were...

Evaluation of the simultaneous removal of organic matter, nitrogen and suspended solids in a sshf constructed wetland in capinha, Portugal
PublicationCelem pracy była ocena systemu hydrofitowego z podpowierzchniowym przepływem wody (SSHF) usytuowanego w miejscwości Capinha w Portugalii, głównie pod względem usuwania substancji organicznej oraz związków azotu. Podczas czteromiesięcznego monitoringu obiekt wykazał niereguralność w suswaniu zawiesiny ogólnej oraz substancjo organicznej wyrażonej w ChZT. Szybkość usuwania zanieczyszczeń organicznych wynosiła 28 g ChZT/m2d. Uzyskaną...

Dissolved and colloidal organic nitrogen removal from WWTP effluents and reject waters using physical-chemical processes
PublicationFour physical-chemical processes were compared in terms of the efficiencies of dissolved and colloidal organic nitrogen (DON and CON) removal from the secondary effluents (SE) and reject water from full-scale biological nutrient removal activated sludge systems. Adsorption on activated carbon was most efficient and allowed to remove from the SE up to 80% and 100% of DON and CON, respectively. High efficiencies of DON removal from...

Fluctuation in the organic matter decomposition rate and nitrogen speciation in vegetation and outside vegetation seasons in a hybrid wetland system.
PublicationIlość ścieków doprowadzana do obiektu była mniejsza, a stężenia zanieczyszczeń wyższe w okresie poza wegetacyjnym. Obniżona skuteczność przemian związków azotu w okresie poza wegetacyjnym została potwierdzona przez niższe wartości stałych szybkości reakcji, które wynosiły 60% wartości osiąganych dla okresu wegetacyjnego.
