Abstract:
Based on the investigation of sewer sediments in Xi Cheng district in Beijing, scour-release pollution load in one rainfall from sewer sediments was studied by monitoring the pollutants in the run-off of manhole's section. It was shown that the contribution of scour-release pollutants from sewer sediments to sewer outflow was obvious. The contribution rate of the sediments pollution load to runoff outflow in the 84 m pipeline in one rainfall (9 Jul., 2010) was as follows: TN 8.5%, TP 8.2%, COD 18.3%, SS 7.7%, respectively. And the pollutant contribution rate in the 295 m pipeline in another rainfall (4 Aug., 2010) was TN 23.12%, TP 60.01%, COD 33.78%, SS 31.89%. Therefore, it is important to control the pollution from sewer sediments for the improvement of water environment.
