Description


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention


[0003] The present invention relates to nitrates and ammonia removal from process water, or wastewater streams, from mining, agriculture operation facilities, lagoons, military operational facilities, live stockwastewaters, lagoon water systems, and also usually lagoon water having nitrate and metal ions, such as mining operation, suspended solids sludge, and the like. The process to remove the nitrate compromised by adding absorbent, or absorbent-adsorbent products in a solid form, or pallets, or passing the water without pH adjustment, without electropositive metals like aluminum or ferrous or cupric or zinc or iron or mixture ions, which require to have present sulfuric or chlorine or sulfamic acid as well alkali present. The process comprises by processing the water stream, or wastewater's, through the canister or towers having several layers of coagulant-absorbent-adsorbent. The absorbent compositions consisting on products based: (1) on organic modified of sodium bentonite or calcium bentonite or mixture of these, or siliceous volclay, or attapulgite clay, a hydrous silicate of aluminum generated from sodium bentonite or calcium bentonite, cross-linked montmorillonite molecular sieves, porous silicate glass, kaolin surface modified by polycyclopentadiene, tricalcium aluminate, calcium silicate hydrate (comprising by formula Ca6Si6O17(OH)2 ) with bulk density of 85-139 g/liter, silica xerogels, high-porosity silica xerogels, crystalline metal-organic microporous materials surface, or surface altered zeolites, or clinoptilolite, zeolite Analcime (Analcite comprising by formula Na2O.Al2O3.4SiO2.2H2O); (2) with insoluble carbohydrate polymer consisting 25% amylose and 75% amilopectin, a branched-chain structure and having present sulfide or disulfide group, or sulfonated or sulfate groups, or crosslinked starch xanthate, or starch xanthate-xanthide mixture(crosslinked preferably by 2-chloro-N,N-diethylacetamide or epichlorohydrin, sodium trimetaphosphate, phosphorous oxycloride, formaldehyde, glyoxal, acrolein, and N-methylol urea, or other efficient agents which may give (degree of substitution 0.12 to 0.98), dithiocarbonic acid or xanthate; (3) 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilne or 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, or 1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)-trithione, trisodium salt, or (4) regenerated cellulose(Ground Viscose) modified NaOH-Diethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride) crosslinked with EPI(epichlorohydrin) and exchange capacity of 0.65-0.95 milliequivalents per gram; or (5) Activated Carbon, or anthracite or lignin.


[0004] High level of nitrate in ground water can create a serious health risk. The nitrate outflow onto shallow continental shelves can produce nearshore algae blooms. Techniques such as selective ion exchange, reverse osmosis, distillation, elctrodialysis, exist to transfer nitrate between two bodies of water, but only biological process are presently available for nitrate destruction which is very limited, effected by water temperature as well, and very costly as field to be use.


[0005] In the United States and Europe, legislation now specifies a maximum permissible nitrate level in drinking water or industrial use waters. Maximum legal nitrate levels in drinking water are 44 mg/liter in United States and 50 mg/liter in Europe. In United States alone the nitrate removal is strongly regulated by EPA, and constitutes serious treat to the water supply.


[0006] The water odor treatment contemplated by this invention is particularly applicable to wastes derived from slaughterhouses, fancy meat departments, and tank houses. The instant method is particularly applicable for reducing odors and contaminants from multi-animal wastewater sources. Current government regulations require that such waste contaminants must be removed from the wastewater, or collected in storage so as to be in compliance with the regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently issued very stringent effluent guidelines and standards for hog and poultry industries in particular.


[0007] The food processing industries such as the hog industry, poultry industry, slaughter-houses, fish meal factories and bone meal factories typically consume large quantities of water in the various processing segments of their plants, which water is then discharged as wastewater. This water and/or wastewater, contains large quantities of fats and oils, fatty acids, proteinceous material, blood, and other undesirable solids.


[0008] The result generally foul smells wastewater that has over 1,000 parts per million (ppm) of total ammonia, over 1,000 ppm of total nitrogen, over 100,000 mg./l. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), over 200,000 ppm Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), over 50,000 ppm of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and over 30,000 ppm of Oil and Grease (O&G). These levels may vary from plant to plant.


[0009] The mining industry, industrial military operations, agriculture industry, is the highly producer of nitrate water stream, nitrate and high concentration metals content in the water stream or lagoons.


[0010] 2. Description of the Prior Art


[0011] The patent literature suggests different systems for nitrate removal. For example U.S. Pat. No. H1,126, Pan et. Al disclose a process comprise adding Sulfamic acid to the wastewater, in stoichiometric proportion with respect to sodium nitrate, under strict pH control, settling and filtration to form gaseous nitrogen. To use such as system is limited to only small scale, and can not be used to treat large scale or volume of water such as mining and agriculture operations, or lagoons, where are present millions of gallons of waters. This chemical process and its complexity of strict pH control, precipitation, settling and filtration, large sludge volume generate make to be total unpractical for large volume of water treatment.


[0012] U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,800, Murphy, disclose a chemical process for the denitrification of water comprising treating of water with a metal sufficiently electropositive to decompose the water while regulating the pH in very narrow and its adjustment is a crucial on nitrate reduction (above 9.1-9.3 or to 11.5) range to permit efficient reduction of nitrate ion. By these processes at pH 6.5 to 8 the water is not sufficiently alkaline to start to dissolve for instance aluminum particles and little or not reaction occurs. These processes described are un economical and non efficient for large volume of water to be treated for nitrate removal, and can generate very easily metal cation present in water stream by producing new sources of pollutants. The patent '126 and patent '800 are incorporate as reference.


[0013] In the other hand, the patent literature reveals that a number of systems have been proposed for clarification of industrial waste effluent of various types of animal waste are described in Waldmann's Ser. No. 09/408,834(Sep. 30, 1999) and incorporated in its entirety by reference.


[0014] An aspect of the present invention is that other organophilic clay which may be employed are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary substituted ammonium salts of montmorillonite, hectorite, attapulgite, sepiolite, and semectite in which the substituted ammonium cation or phosphonium cation contains at least one carbon chain of 12 or more carbon atoms in length. These organically are used in general as thickener agents. The chemically modified clay of the present invention is described on Waldmann's Ser. No. 09/408,834 (1999), and commercially available. Preferred are the powder forms with smaller particles having low density (Specific Gravity), preferably (1) or less.


[0015] None of these aforementioned references teach or suggest the use product compositions having organoclay to remove nitrate or high concentration of nitrate-havy metals present. In contrast, the organoclay described in Ser. No. 09/408,834, on present invention composition act as absorbents and adsorbents.


[0016] These above listed patents and patent application Ser. No. 09/408,834 (1999) is incorporated herein as reference.


[0017] Cox, et. Al., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,609,863 and 5,807,587 disclose compositions and methods for reducing odor and septicity by use of one or more aldehydes and/or one or more ketones along with other compounds. '587 also disclose the use of a sulfur and oxygen-bearing component, which is selected from the group of sulfites, metabisulfites, lithium hydrosulfite, and the like. Neither '863 nor '587 teach or suggest that the methods described eliminate the water contaminants or nitrate removal, or nitrate-havy metals mixture. The disclosures of '869 and '587 are incorporated herein as reference.
