Experiment
All of the unsteady-state reaeration tests were
conducted in a 500-L aeration tank. The experimental details follow the ASCE standard (ASCE,
1984) and were briey described in the previous
paper (Chern and Yu, 1997). Commercial soybean oil
(President Co., Taiwan), commercial surfactant with
primary ingredient of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (Formosa Chemicals & Fibers, Taiwan), and
diatomaceous earth (Grefco Minerals, USA) were
added to the tap water to simulate commonly found
impurities in wastewaters. At the beginning of each
test run, the cobalt chloride and the impurity were
simultaneously added to the tank and the tank liquid
was aerated for at least 30 min to allow uniform
distribution of the cobalt chloride and the impurity.
Then pre-dissolved sodium sulte solution was added
and reaerated back to 99% of saturation. In addition
to aeration tests in the 500-L tank, the saturation DO
concentrations at atmospheric pressure in the presence of impurities were measured in a 2-L ask with
a DO meter (WTW, OXI 96). The surface tension of
the tap water in the presence of soybean oil and
surfactant was measured by a surface-tension meter
(Kruss Co., Model K-6). The experimental conditions for the unsteady-state reaeration tests are
summarized in Table 1.

where Cimp is of unit ppm. The correlation parameters in equation (21), determined from nonlinear
regression, are also listed in Table 2 and the
comparisons between the predicted and experimental
alpha factors in the presence of dierent impurities
are shown in Figs 46.
As shown in Fig. 4, all the alpha factors decrease
exponentially with increasing soybean oil concentration and eventually reach constant values. For any
given soybean oil concentration the ASCE-model
alpha factor is less than the surface-zone alpha factor
but greater than the bubble-zone alpha factor. Since
the soybean oil molecules may orient themselves on
the interfacial surface of the gas bubbles and create a
barrier to diusion of oxygen; the mass-transfer
coecient KLB will thus decrease signicantly. However, the presence of soybean oil will decrease the
surface tension and results in a decrease in the gas
bubble size; the specic mass-transfer area a will thus
increase. The combined eects, as shown in Fig. 4,
show that KLB aB decreases with increasing soybean
concentration. The alpha factor also decreases with
increasing soybean oil concentration in the surface
reaeration zone, but it is greater than that in the gas
bubble zone. This suggests that the surface turbulence may restrict the formation of the oil lm; as a
result, the soybean oil has a weaker inuence on
reducing the mass-transfer rate in the surface
reaeration zone.

available gasliquid mass-transfer area. In the surface reaeration zone, some suspended solids oating
on the water surface adsorb a thin water lm and
provide more gasliquid mass-transfer area. This
may explain the increase of the alpha factor in the
surface reaeration zone.
For a given set of operating conditions, the
volumetric mass-transfer coecients in the gasbubble and surface reaeration zones can be calculated from equations (20) and (21); the system
saturation DO concentration and the volumetric
oxygen mass-transfer rate can thus be calculated by
equations (18) and (19), respectively. Figures 7 and 8
show the experimental and predicted saturation DO
concentration and the volumetric oxygen masstransfer rate, respectively. The experimental saturation DO concentration and the volumetric oxygen
mass-transfer rate are actually those calculated from
the ASCE-model.
