  • Publication number: 20190218125
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for treating a black and odorous water body comprising the following steps: pre-treating the black and odorous water body; passing the pre-treated water body through a biomimetic intestine tubular purification system which imitates a digestion of small intestine; passing the tubular purification system-treated water body into a microbial fuel cell which imitates a digestion of large intestine to treat the water body; and pumping the microbial fuel cell-treated water body into an upward flow inclined tube sedimentation tank to treat the water body.

  • Patent number: 9457388
    Abstract: The present invention involves a persulfate-release material used in the filler of permeable reactive barrier (PRB). This material presents double-layered structure characteristic: inner- and outer-layers are consisted of persulfate, cement, sand and water with different mass ratio. Two different types of moulds are used for the regulation of the shape of the two-layer structures, which guarantees the stability and reproducibility of its structures and properties. During the whole released process, the released rate become more uniform and stable by the use of this material. During the whole service period, the change of the released rate is very slow, and the service lifetime can be 1-10 years. This invention can both reduce the initial released rate and improve the later released rate, and thus the whole released rate can be more uniform, which can be an important method to promote the efficiency of the persulfate toward engineering application.

  • Patent number: 8936725
    Abstract: Constructed wetland wastewater treatment equipment under low temperature for continuous operation which includes: three-section substrates filled in a constructed wetland, ventilation pipes being arranged in the substrates, a height of a bed of the constructed wetland being higher than a height of the substrates; a double wall being filled with an organic substance used as a barrier at periphery of the constructed wetland; a water distributing pipe disposed at a top of the three-section substrates and a water collecting pipe disposed at a bottom of the three-section substrates; and a water inlet pipe connected to an upper portion at one end of the three-section substrates and a water outlet pipe connected to a lower portion at the other end of the three-section substrates, a water outlet of the water outlet pipe being higher than the height of the bed of the constructed wetland.
