COD fractions in raw and mechanically treated wastewater
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 11
Abstract
The paper presents results of studies concerning the designation of COD fraction in the raw and mechanically treated wastewater in different year seasons. The research object was a mechanical-biological wastewater treatment plant with the output of >40 000 P.E., located in western Poland. The results of COD fraction in the raw wastewater were compared with data received in the ASM models. Methodology for determining the COD fraction was based on the guidelines ATV - A 131. During the research following fractions were determined: particulate slowly biodegradable substrates (XS), soluble readily biodegradable substrates (SS), inert particulate organic material (XI) and inert soluble organic material (SI). Soluble and particulate components were differentiated by filtration through 0.45μm membrane filters. The percentage of each fraction in total COD determined on the real concentration in raw wastewater are different from data reported in the literature.<br/><br/>

Effect of cyclic freezing on microstructure parameters of monoionic bentonites
In this study the effects of cyclic freezing on microstructure of monomineral forms of bentonite were investigated. Samples of the non-frozen soil and the soil frozen were tested using scanning electron microscope SEM. T...

STABILITY OF THE VISCOELASTIC MISES TRUSS
A nonlinear equilibrium equation of Mises truss was derived in the paper. It was differential equation with respect to time due to the fact that the material from which the rods were made was viscoelastic. The six parame...

TECTONIC AND GLACIOTECTONIC DEFORMATIONS IN THE AREAS OF POLISH LIGNITE DEPOSITS
This study addresses the complex geology caused mainly by tectonic and glaciotectonic processes in lignite-bearing areas of Poland. Tectonics played a dominant role in the deformation of peat/lignite seams during their d...
