Pilot Testing of Single Pass Perchlorate-Selective Ion Exchange Resins at Three Utilities in the Main San Gabriel Basin
在圣加布里埃尔主盆地的三家公用事业公司进行单道高氯酸盐选择性离子交换树脂的初步试验
This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the Baldwin Park Operable Unit (BPOU), located in the San Gabriel Valley in southern California, and was
declared a Superfund Site in 1984
due to volatile organic compounds (VOC) contamination. Perchlorate was discovered there in 1997. Perchlorate characteristics and perchlorate treatment at BPOU are outlined. A pilot study to
evaluate the performance of four different
perchlorate-selective IX resins at three
utilities in the BPOU is presented and had the following objectives:
pilot skids using representative operational
conditions;
test new resins and those that had high
capacities in Cal Domestic pilot studies;
assess nitrosamine leaching from the new
resins; and,
test spent resins for metals leaching (TCLP
and
California WET). Testing conditions are presented for resins, pilot skid and water quality. Results are provided for:
perchlorate breakthrough;
nitrosamine leaching; and,
spent resin TCLP and California WET testing. Presentation conclusions indicate the following: the four tested tributylamine resins have a high capacity
for perchlorate removal, greater than 250,000 BVs water
treated, depending on water quality;
resin capacity at Valley County was approximately 70% of the
capacity at La Puente, based on BVs of water treated,
due to higher nitrate concentrations in the source water;
the Dow PSR2 performed best at all three plants, however the performances of the four resins were not
extremely different; resin selection for the three participating plants
may be based on economics and operation
considerations; all four resins leached NDBA and one may have
leached NDMA, but concentrations declined to
below 10 ng/L within one hour of rinsing;
the speciation of nitrosamine leaching reflects the
functional amine groups present in the resins as
observed in the previous Cal Domestic study; and,
TCLP and California WET testing indicated that
spent resin from the three utilities would not be
classified as hazardous waste. Results from this study, including a cost comparison
with regenerable ion exchange systems, reveal that
single pass ion exchange is a feasible and cost competitive
option for perchlorate treatment. Includes tables, figures.
