Abstract:In order to control the adverse effect on the surrounding environment and people from the malodorous gas generated in the temporary storage space of sewage, a masking agent mainly composed of liquid silicone (LSR) and polystyrene plastic foam beads (EPS) was used to cover the surface of the sewage. This could increase the mass transfer resistance of H2S in sewage to the gas phase and control the release of malodorous gas from sewage. In this study, the effects of the composition of the masking agent, the requirements for the ratio and the thickness of the layup, as well as the effect on the water quality of the lower water body, were determined. The results showed that a masking agent with the LSR + EPS carrier could prevent H2S release, and the best effect occurred for the masking agent with translucent LSR + EPS carrier. When the mass ratio of translucent LSR and EPS carriers was 15~40, the tiling thickness was 0.1~0.5 cm, the best prevention effect was observed. The concentration of sulfide in the lower part of waterbody below the masking agent increased with the extension of residence time of the sewage. It will take a long time to reach the toxicity threshold if the SRB product (high H2S concentration) was used to inhibit the microbes. The masking agent increases the mass transfer resistance of H2S and helps to control the harm to the environment caused by the release of malodorous gases. Key words:hydrogen sulfide/ liquid silicone/ polystyrene plastic foam beads/ temporary storage space of sewage/ gas-liquid interface/ malodorous gases control.
