Multi-Soil-Layering (MSL) method was applied to make appropriate, but high performance and N & P-removable, on-site domestic waste water treatment system. The MSL soil unit is composed from soil layer mixed with 10∼25% of metal iron and pelletized jute. The MSL units were piled in a brick pattern at 5cm vertical and 10cm horizontal distance, which were surrounded by layers of Zeolite. Air can be supplied through porous pipes installed at adequate depths of the MSL system. The systems were tested using model houses. The waste waters, which were pretreated by septic tank to the level of SS 29-75, BOD 42-116, COD 32-56, T-N 29-86, and T-P 6-11 mg−l−1 respectively, could be treated at the rate of 100-850 1·m−2·d−1 without significant clogging. The mean concentrations of treated waters were SS 15, BOD 8.7, COD 11, T-N 6.8, and T-P 0.86 mg·1−1 respectively. Zeolite layers and brick pattern prevent clogging. Metal iron and jute pellets were effective to remove Phosphate and Nitrate. Intensive aeration assists decomposition of BOD, COD, and SS as well as nitrification, but decreases denitrif ication and phosphate fixation. The degree of purification could be controlled by setting adequate aeration.

In this work, hierarchical hollow BiOBr submicrospheres (HBSMs) were successfully prepared via a facile yet efficient solvothermal strategy. Remarkable effects of solvents upon the crystallinities, morphologies, and microstructures of the BiOBr products were systematically investigated, which revealed that the glycerol/isopropanol volumetric ratio played a significant role in the formation of hollow architecture. Accordingly, the underlying formation mechanism of the hollow submicrospheres was tentatively put forward here. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of the resulting HBSMs were evaluated in detail with photocatalytic degradation of the organic methyl orange under visible light irradiation. Encouragingly, the as-obtained HBSMs with striking recyclability demonstrated excellent visible-light-responsive photocatalytic performance, which benefits from their large surface area, effective visible light absorption, and unique hollow feature, highlighting their promising commercial application in waste water treatment.

The examination of pollutants in waste-, surface- and drinking water by sum parameters like COD, BOD or TOC gives no information about their toxicity or behaviour in the drinking water treatment process. As many pollutants leaving sewage treatment plants are polar and/or thermolabile, gas Chromatographic (GC) separation coupled on-line with a mass spectrometer (MS) is not applicable to this problem. Newly established analytical methods like high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in on-line combination with mass- (MS) or tandem mass spectrometers (MS/MS) using soft ionization techniques like thermospray (TSP) would help to solve these problems. The comparison of GC- and LC/MS-spectra demonstrates increasing polarity beginning at the waste water treatment and ending at the drinking water treatment. It was possible to identify and quantify selected compounds, and elimination efficiency could be reviewed by comparing overview spectra. The knowledge about the existence of these compounds in waste-, surface- and drinking water requires strategies for elimination, avoidance or degradation.
