Methods for removing polymers from treatment fluids for use in subterranean formations are provided. In one or more embodiments, the methods include providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and a polymer comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone or a derivative thereof; and adding a precipitant to the treatment fluid to form a precipitate with at least a portion of the polymer.

A method of treating a landfill leachate containing ammoniacal nitrogen and phosphate by mixing with seawater to precipitate magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) also known as struvite. Effects of pH, temperature, stirring speed, and magnesium to ammonia molar ratio on leachate properties such as COD, ammoniacal nitrogen, phosphate content, color, turbidity, amount of magnesium, iron and zinc are disclosed. The method provides high removal efficiency for removal of ammoniacal nitrogen, phosphate, COD, color and turbidity. The method provides a cost-effective system for treatment of landfill leachate and recovery of MAP.

According to one aspect of the present embodiment, provided are an apparatus and a method for recovering effective resources, which efficiently recover resources such as methane, nitrogen, and phosphorus while minimizing the use of chemicals.

The disclosure discloses an online resourceful treatment method of electroless copper plating waste solution. According to the disclosure, a copper catalyst is adopted to perform autocatalytic reaction on electroless copper plating waste solution in an autocatalytic reactor, copper simple substances are reduced from copper ions in the waste solution and recycled, the treated waste solution enters into a three-dimensional electrolyzer and a membrane filtration plant for further purification, the finally treated electroless copper plating waste solution meets water quality discharge standard, and the recovery rate of the copper simple substances can reach up to above 95%.

The disclosure discloses a preparation method and application of an external carbon source for denitrification from lake algae, and belongs to the technical field of solid organic waste treatment and utilization and water treatment. According to the disclosure, a combined process of struvite precipitation+calcium phosphate precipitation is used to recover nitrogen and phosphorus from an anaerobic fermentation liquor of the lake algae, and the treated anaerobic fermentation liquor of the lake algae can replace traditional commercial carbon sources as the external carbon source in a process of nitrogen removal. The treated anaerobic fermentation liquor of the lake algae cannot only provide the carbon source for a denitrification process, but also significantly improve nitrogen removal capacity of sewage compared with the commercial carbon sources. Not only is resource utilization of the lake algae realized, but also the problem of insufficient carbon sources in urban sewage treatment plants is solved, the operation cost of the urban sewage treatment plants is reduced, and “waste” is turned into “wealth”, killing two birds with one stone.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a liquid including an organofluorine. The method includes electrochemically treating the liquid to produce a foam and an electrochemically treated liquid, wherein the foam includes the organofluorine and/or degradation products thereof; and separating the foam from the electrochemically treated liquid. This method may alleviate some of the problems associated with the presently available techniques for removing organofluorines from liquids.

Various embodiments relate to methods and systems for removing phosphorus and/or nitrogen from water. A method of removing phosphorus and nitrogen from water includes passing starting material water including nitrogen and phosphorus through an elevated pH phosphorus removal stage. The method includes passing the water through an electrolytic nitrogen removal stage. The method includes passing the water through a galvanic phosphorus removal stage. The water produced by the method has a lower phosphorus concentration and a lower nitrogen concentration than the starting material water.
