A Novel Treatment Process for Odor Control at Wastewater Treatment Plants

9714988库珀这是一个奖项，以支持探索性研究的潜在用途的电离辐射产生的一束通电的电子从电子加速器，以控制和可能消除生产的滋扰气味的污泥管理过程中进行污水处理厂。 调查人员将在弗吉尼亚州的迈阿密污水处理厂使用电子束研究装置进行研究。 探索性工作将涉及将几类化合物的水溶液置于150万电子伏加速器产生的辐射下，这些化合物被确定为在污泥处理过程中产生令人讨厌的气味的原因。 待研究的化合物包括有机和无机硫化物、硫醇和萜烯。 导致该奖项的提案是根据NSF 95-27《探索性研究小额赠款特别指南》（SGER）《赠款提案指南》提交的。 这项研究是在1997年2月根据NSF 95-25059进行的基韦斯特研讨会上提出的，该研讨会讨论了由一束通电电子产生的电离辐射的潜在额外用途，作为充分利用这种环境技术处理废水和工艺残留物的一个步骤。 该项目还涉及NSF第95-08728号奖下的研究，研究影响废水处理过程中产生的污泥产生和排放气态空气污染物的物理和化学因素 *

9714988 Cooper This is an award to support exploratory research on the potential use of ionizing radiation produced by a beam of energized electrons from an electron accelerator to control and possibly eliminate production of nuisance odors from conduct of sludge management processes at wastewater treatment plants. The investigator will conduct the research using an electron beam research unit at the Miami Wastewater Treatment Plant on Virginia Key. The exploratory work will involve subjecting water solutions of several of classes of chemical compounds identified as responsible for nuisance odors produced during treatment of sludges to radiation produced by a 1.5 Million Electron Volt accelerator. Compounds to be investigated include organic and inorganic sulfides, mercaptans and terpenes. The proposal leading to this award was submitted and under Special Guidelines for Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) in NSF 95-27, Grant Proposal Guide. This research was suggested at the Key West workshop in February of 1997 conducted under NSF 95-25059 that addressed potential additional uses of ionizing radiation produced by a beam of energized electrons as a step toward full utilization of this environmental technology in treatment of wastewater and process residues. This project also relates to research under NSF Award No. 95-08728 on physical and chemical factors that influence production and emission of gaseous air pollutants from wastewater treatment processing of treatment-derived sludges ***
