  • Patent number: 11420889
    Abstract: The Invention discloses an ecological remediation method for controlling sulphur pollution in black and odorous sludge of rivers. Firstly, the sludge from pollution layer of the rivers will be dredged and stacked on the banksides with slope protection built along the outer edge of the sludge storage site; then innocent pretreatment will be conducted for the sludge. Specific steps comprise solarization and ploughing, and mixed ameliorant of certain proportion will be added for modification between first solarization and intermittent ploughing. Then, large emergent aquatic plants will be planted on the stacked sludge after pretreatment. The technical method provided by the Invention may control the release of acid-volatile sulfide in the contaminated sludge on one hand and reduce concentration of volatile organic sulfide in the waters on the other hand.

  • Patent number: 10494278
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for harmless treatment of cyanophytes and suspended solids accumulated in lakeside wetlands, comprising the following steps: first, adding a flocculant to a water body to be treated, so as to allow the flocculation of cyanophytes to accumulate in the surface layer of the water body, and settling the formed cyanophycean floc to the surface layer of sediments; second, adding a floc stabilizer to perform accumulation and compaction of the cyanophycean floc and stabilized treatment of the floc in the surface layer; finally, conducting further reoxygenation treatment on the bottom water body. The method of the invention can realize efficient and ecologically safe flocculation of accumulated cyanophytes at low cost and control odor compounds such as sulfides decomposed from flocculated cyanophytes, so as to provide a new method for harmless treatment of excess cyanophycean accumulation in eutrophic lakes.

  • Patent number: 9664601
    Abstract: Method for determining volatile thio-ether compounds in offensive odorous sediment including: pre-treating a sediment sample, extracting volatile thio-ether compounds, separating and purifying the extraction supernatant in a solid phase extraction column, eluting with ethyl acetate, and finally collecting the eluent, which is then concentrated and used for determination by gas chromatography.
