Magnetic flocculation technology was investigated for the removal of copper and zinc ions from simulated tin smelting wastewater, and the effects of magnetic powder dosage, flocculant dosage, and pH on the removal of copper and zinc ions were estimated. The results show that the effluent quality is poor with magnetic powder, PAC and PAM separately dosed, but when magnetic powder is combined with PAC or PAM, the excellent effluent quality is obtained with the removal rate of the copper and zinc ions of more than 90% and 70% respectively. In addition, under the condition of magnetic powder dosage of 30g/L and PAC dosage of 60mg/L, pH show more significant effect on zinc ions than copper ions with pH increased from 5 to 10, and the removal rate of zinc ions increase by about 24%, while the removal rate of copper ions only increase by about 2.5%. Compared with the system with single metal ion, the coexistent ion system has excellent heavy metal removal efficiency, namely the copper ions removal rate increase by 3.42%, and the zinc ions removal rate increase by 0.46%. Moreover, magnetic flocculation technology presents the characteristics of shorter time of flocculation and sedimentation, smaller volume of the flocs and faster separation velocity.

The electrochemical treatment of ammonia using born-doped diamond (BDD) as advanced treatment of coking wastewater was investigated. The effects of chloride ion concentration and current density on current efficiency and energy consumption were also analyzed. The results show that the current efficiency increases with chloride ion concentration increase and current density decrease. And 30% of current efficiency is obtained when current density is less than 19.7mA cm-2, and it decreases above 19.7mA cm-2. The energy consumption decreases with the chloride ion concentration increase and current density decrease. And energy consumption of 0.50kWh g-1 and ammonia removal rate of 84.7% can be achieved at initial ammonia concentration of 100mg L-1, chloride concentration of 900mg L-1 and current density of 29.6mA cm-2.Therefore, BDD electrodes have high current efficiency and low energy consumption, which attributed to its high oxygen evolution overvoltage (2.6V vs. SCE) and low chloride evolution overvoltage (1.5V vs. SCE).

This paper investigated the nanosilver detection method by ICP-MS and digestion method in complex matrix, such as in apple juice, grape juice and milk. The results showed that the silver calibration curves have excellent related coefficient with the range of 0.999906 to 0.999972, and the method detection limit of ICP-MS for silver was 1.1653ppb. The sample digestion method for apple juice, grape juice and milk were optimized at different temperature and contact time, in which the optimal digestion method for apple juice and grape juice was at temperature of 95 °C and contact time of 25min, but that for milk should be enhanced the temperature to 155 °C.

Based on the theory of flow separate and multi-phase reaction principle, the coupling bioreactor for domestic wastewater reclamation and the sludge reduction was developed in this paper. The results showed that the coupling bioreactor kept stable COD removal efficiency above 85% with the COD loading rate increased from 0.49kgCOD/(m3∙d) to 1.93kgCOD/(m3∙d). Moreover, the excellent effluent quality could be obtained under the condition of Micro-aeration+ Anoxic + Aeration, and the total nitrogen(TN) removal of 86.7% was achieved at HRT of 8h and 43% volume ratio of anoxic zone, meanwhile the effluent TN concentration was lower than 15mg/L and a lower sludge production rate was obtained with mean value of 0.068MLSS/kgCOD.
