An aeration element for gasification or aeration of liquids includes an essentially flattened, rigid support element having a substantially oval cross-section and corrugated outer surfaces, the corrugated outer surfaces including ridges defining grooves therebetween; a threaded opening for receiving a cooperating fitting for connection to an air supply; and a flexible membrane of elastomeric material disposed around the support element. An assembly bracket includes upper and portions that can be cooperatingly attached to one another about the aeration element for securing the aeration element to a floor of a tank or pool. The assembly bracket includes through-going passages for enabling water to circulate around the bracket and reduce buoyancy of the assembly. Two aeration elements of shorter lengths can be positioned adjacent two one another, secured within assembly brackets, and connected at adjacent ends, so that one of the aeration elements functions as a conduit to the other aeration element when air is supplied into one of the aeration elements.

A method of treating effluent seawater generated in the removal of sulfur dioxide from a process gas by contacting the process gas containing sulfur dioxide with seawater, using inclined aeration and mixed auto recovery is provided. Additionally, an inclined aeration and mixed auto recovery seawater oxidation basin system for treating effluent seawater generated in the removal of sulfur dioxide from a process gas by contacting the process gas containing sulfur dioxide with seawater is provided.

Disclosed is a method for regenerating a SCR denitration catalyst assisted by microwaves. The method comprises: (1) a poisoned SCR denitration catalyst is immersed in deionized water, and the SCR denitration catalyst is cleaned by a bubbling method; (2) the SCR denitration catalyst is transferred to a container containing a pore-expanding solution for a soaking treatment; (3) the SCR denitration catalyst is transferred to a microwave device and treated for 1-10 minutes; (4) the SCR denitration catalyst is transferred to a container with an activating liquid and impregnated for 1-4 hours; (5) the SCR denitration catalyst is dried with microwaves for 1-20 minutes; and (6) the SCR denitration catalyst is calcined under conditions of 500-600 C. for 4-7 hours. The present invention has readily available raw materials, is simple and energy-saving in device and process, and is suitable for industrial scale regeneration. The catalyst treated by the method of the present invention has the advantages of loose pore channels, obviously optimized pore structures, significantly improved catalyst surface conditions, high activity, and good economic benefits.
