Abstract

The aim of the presented investigations was to irnprovc the quality of CFO numerical modeling of the propagation of gaseous contaminations in a test laboratory with a tracer gas source and a local exhaust in general mixing ventilation. The investigations were carried out making use of experimental identification of the flow. Concise information is presented concerning the CFO method applied in the modeling of the airflow and gaseous contaminant. The tested object has been characterized, as well as its respective experimental data. The ways of generating its simulation model has been described, paying special attention to the simulation of the diffuser. TI1e results of prediction have been compared with the results of measurements of the air velocity and the concentration of gaseous contaminant. Attempts have been made to improve the quality of the obtained results of prediction of the distribution of tracer gas concentration by increasing the accuracy simulating the diffuser, the jct leaving the diffuser and the airflow pattern in surrounding the contarninant source and suction nozzle. It has also been tried to utilize the results of numerical prediction for the purpose of determining the effectiveness of the local exhaust.

Abstract

Silicon, an important clement for diatoms, is often beyond the main object of freshwater researches. In the last decade, many detergents containing silicon compounds have been released by municipal sewage to surface water ecosystems. In this paper, an influence of silicates and washing agents which contain silicates on algal primary production and biomass growth has been shown. The experimental analysis revealed that detergents with the silicate addition increased the rate of the biomass growth and had a direct impact on algal primary production.

Abstract

The investigations of energetic piles on the landfill in Zakurzewo near Grudziądz were done. The study provided answers to the following questions: I - are the piles worth digging up, li - what kind of material may be recovered after that, and Ill - what kind of process dominates currently in piles? It has been found out that plastic. mineral fraction and fraction of waste with the particles at the diameter below 10 mm made up about 75-90% of the total mass of waste in piles. Therefore. in the future these groups should be selected from the whole mass. Small fractions - I fraction of waste (with the particles of the diameter below 10 mm) and li fraction (with the particles of the diameter between 10-40 mm) made up significant share (50-93%) of the total mass of waste in piles. Organic matter content in dry mass of I fraction was high ranging from 71.6-86.8% of d.rn. This fraction can be used as a biological layer on the landfill. but should not be treated as a neutral waste for the sake of lcachuig of high pollutants concentration. fur the sake of low reduction of organic matter further fermentation of waste from piles W I - W6 with biogas recovery is advisable. In order to improve structural and odor features of waste. before sorting on the secondary materials. three weeks of air drying is advisable.

Abstract

Comprehensive installation for wastewater treatment coming from the fish processing in the SUPERFISH plant in Ustronie Morskie, Poland, includes utilization of wastes which arise during working of this installation. This paper presents results of research on pyrolysis process of PE waste coming from the plant with the addition of dewatered sediments as well as post-flotation fats. Cementation was applied for utilization of secondary waste left alter the pyrolysis process. The results of examinations were approximated with equations applying the method of the central point. Next. the equations were verified. Results of the research showed that pyrolysis is effective in neutralization of examined waste, and secondary waste after the pyrolysis process after solidification is not dangerous for the environment.

Abstract

The aim of the investigation was to determine the impact of the presence of Zn in concentrations of sludges applied in agriculture (exceeding concentrations determined in sludges drained from the treatment plant) 011 the disappearance of PAHs in sewage sludge stored under aerobic conditions. The studies were carried out using dewatered and biochemically stabilized sludges. The changes in the concentration of PAHs were studied in four series: in sludge samples taken after filter press, in sludge with the addition of a standard PAH mixture. in sludge with Zn added, in sludge with the addition of both the standard PAH mixture and Zn. The standard PAH mixture used in the studies contained 16 compounds in benzene - dichloromethane (I: ł) solution with a concentration of 32000 ug/cm' of 16 PAHs. Zn was added to the sludge samples as a solution of chloride zrnc. the final amount was below 2500 mg Zn/kg d.m. (taking into consideration the initial concentrations) The sludge samples were incubated for 90 days at 20°C with limitless access of oxygen. The determination of PAHs in sludge samples was done in duplicates at the beginning of the experiment (the initial concentration) and then six times at I 5-day intervals (after 15. 30. 45. 60. 75 and 90 days). A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to qualify and quantify the PAHs. I 6 PAI-ls listed by EPA were identified
