Abstract
Dual chambered microbial fuel cell (DMFC) is an advanced and effective treatment technology in wastewater treatment. The current work has made an effort to treat petrochemical industrial wastewater (PWW) as a DMFC substrate for power generation and organic substance removal. Investigating the impact of organic load (OL) on organic reduction and electricity generation is the main objective of this study. At the OL of 1.5 g COD/L, the highest total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal efficiency of 88%, soluble oxygen demand (SCOD) removal efficiency of 80% and total suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency of 71% were seen, respectively. In the same optimum condition of 1.5 g COD/L, the highest current and power density of about 270 mW/m2 and 376 mA/m2 were also observed. According to the results of this study, using high-strength organic wastewater in DMFC can assist in addressing the issue of the petrochemical industries and minimize the energy demand.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132440. [PMID: 37660620 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
To ensure real-time validity of the detection of unstable toxic environmental pollutants, such as dissolved sulfides, we developed a portable on-site rapid analysis instrument. Through novel design of the color sensor chip-based core sensing components and the conversion between color signal and absorbance by Lambert's law, the instrument showed great performance for rapid (within 3 min) and sensitive on-site detection of sulfides in the environment. It is easy to achieve user-friendly, sample in-answer out, one-stop operation due to the touch-screen-integrated user interface of the instrument's data terminal. The detection limit of this method is 2.24 μg/L, the linear operation range is 0-1000 μg/L, and the coefficient of determination is 0.999. This instrument has been successfully applied to the on-site determination of sulfides in the Yellow River Delta and the Yantai Guangdang River in China. The portable instrument showed excellent anti-interference, good stability, and simple operation, which showed great prospects for the on-site rapid analysis of unstable targets in the environment.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 829:154594. [PMID: 35307437 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Total dissolved sulfide (TDS) plays multiple important roles in the aquatic environments. However, the determination of trace levels of TDS in natural waters is challenging because TDS is vulnerable to oxidation and volatilization. In this study, a fully automated flow injection analysis spectrophotometric system, incorporating a hollow fiber membrane contactor (HFMC) and a long path length liquid waveguide capillary cell, was fabricated to facilitate the on-site measurement of trace TDS in natural waters. The HFMC was used for matrix separation and analyte preconcentration. The measurement was based on the reaction of sulfide and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine in the presence of FeCl3 under acidic conditions to yield methylene blue (MB). The proposed method was highly sensitive, with detection and quantification limits of 0.57 and 1.90 nmol L-1, respectively. The linear working range was from 1.90 to 150 nmol L-1, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995. The repeatability, expressed as the relative standard deviation, was less than 0.86% (n = 15) and the recoveries varied from 76.2 ± 0.1% to 103.9 ± 0.6% (n = 3) for spiked samples. This method was applied to conduct a field analysis of TDS in a reservoir, giving results aligned with those obtained using a standard MB method. This work demonstrates that the new method for determining TDS was effective for both laboratory analysis and on-site measurement.

Abstract
A cost-effective long-path absorption liquid core waveguide (LCW) device was fabricated from a typical Teflon tube, and using a high refractive index (RI) medium of acid. It was incorporated in a flow injection-gas diffusion system for the sensitive determination of sulfide via methylene blue (MB) chemistry. The gas diffusion unit could prevent some interferences in samples. The limit of detection of 0.13 μmol L-1 was achieved without using a preconcentration procedure. The proposed device was successfully applied for sulfide determination in canal water samples with 88.7 - 103% recovery.
