Research paper thumbnail of Hydrogenotrophic Denitrification of Highly Saline Aquaculture Wastewater Using Hollow Fiber Membrane Bioreactor

Hollow fibers ensured bubble-less diffusion of hydrogen and subsequent removal of nitrate from the first bioreactor. The second aerobic reactor was used for biomass filtration and removal of organic matter. Nitrate and organic matter expressed as dissolved organic carbon were 50 mgl(-1) and 20 mgl(-1), respectively, in the inlet. Acclimatization of hydrogenotrophic bacteria to 10, 20 and 30 ppt of salinity was also observed. Optimum hydraulic retention time and denitrification rate corresponding to these salinities were 3, 5 and 6 h and 366.8, 226.2 and 193.2 gm(-3) day(-1), respectively.

Research paper thumbnail of Spatial variability in chromophoric dissolved organic matter for an artificial coastal lake (Shiwha) and the upstream catchments at two different seasons

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014

Selected water quality parameters and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter (... more Selected water quality parameters and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were examined during two different seasons for an artificial coastal lake (Shiwha Lake in South Korea), which are affected by seawater exchange due to the operation of a tidal power plant and external organic loadings from the upstream catchments. The coastal lake exhibited much lower concentrations of organic matter and nutrients than the upstream sources. The spectroscopic properties of the lake DOM were easily distinguished from those of the catchment sources as revealed by a lower absorption coefficient, lower degree of humification, and higher spectral slopes. The observed DOM properties suggest that the lake DOM may be dominated by smaller molecular size and less condensed structures. For the lake and the upper streams, higher absorption coefficients and fluorescence peak intensities but lower spectral slopes and humification index were found for the premonsoon versus the monsoon season. However, such seasonal differences were less pronounced for the industrial channels in the upper catchments. Three distinctive fluorophore groups including microbial humic-like, tryptophan-like, and terrestrial humic-like fluorescence were decomposed from the fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) of the DOM samples by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) modeling. The microbial humic-like component was the most abundant for the industrial channels, suggesting that the component may be associated with anthropogenic organic pollution. The terrestrial humic-like component was predominant for the upper streams, and its relative abundance was higher for the rainy season. Our principal component analysis (PCA) results demonstrated that exchange of seawater and seasonally variable input of allochthonous DOM plays important roles in determining the characteristics of DOM in the lake.

The statistical downscaling method is applied, using multiple linear regression analysis, in which elevation, geographic coordinates, and distance from the coast are treated as independent variables, to estimate the distribution of temperature; and the B-Spline interpolation method combined with multiple linear regression analysis is employed on precipitation over the study area. The outcomes of the two main analyses are computed to create 19 high spa...

Research paper thumbnail of Non-catalytic and catalytic degradation of effluent dissolved organic matter under UVA-and UVC-irradiation tracked by advanced spectroscopic tools

The degradation behavior was tracked by dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV absorbance, and different fluorescent components. Catalytic UV irradiation resulted in much higher degradation rates than those without photocatalysts (TiO2 and ZnO) regardless of the tracking variables. For non-catalytic degradation, the highest removal rates of UV absorbance were found at wavelengths close to the irradiation of either UVC or UVA, while the photocatalytic degradation rates were consistently higher at longer wavelengths. The pseudo first-order rates of UV absorbance individually calculated at several representative wavelengths were very consistent with the sequential orders interpreted from two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS). Excitation emission matrix - parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC) identified one tryptophan-like (C1) ...
