            "Contributions of Precursor Gas Emissions to the Formation of Secondary           Atmospheric PM2.5: Ammonia Gas and Ammonium Aeroso "

            Abstract: As a criteria pollutant, PM _2.5 not only adversely affects human health and environment, but also contributes to regional haze. It has become a growing concern to the scientific community, regulatory agencies, and the public. In atmosphere, fine particulate matter consists of primary PM _2.5 and secondary PM _2.5 .  The primary PM _2.5 is emitted directly to the atmosphere whereas the secondary PM _2.5 is formed in the atmosphere through photochemical reaction, condensation and other atmospheric processes.  While it is well known that ammonia as the only base gas in the atmosphere may react with acidic species to form secondary aerosols, e.g., ammonium sulfate (NH ₄ ) ₂ SO ₄ , ammonium nitrate NH ₄ NO ₃ ,    limited research has been done to quantify the impacts of agricultural ammonia emissions on the dynamics of the chemical reactions and gas-particle phases partitioning associated with the formation of the atmospheric secondary PM _2.5 . This paper will report current status of existing research on ammonia emission inventory development and the formation of secondary PM _2.5 as impacted by agricultural ammonia emissions. Various methods for PM _2.5 source apportionment and for modeling the gas-particle partitioning of inorganic PM _2.5 under different ambient conditions will be presented. The current technical challenges and future developments will also be discussed.

            "Fate and Transport of CAFO’s hormones in Soil Environments"

            Abstract: There are 1.3 million livestock operations in the US. 20% of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) generate ~500 million tons of waste per year. The CFAO wastes often are handed within the CAFOs with land application being the most popular way to disposal of these wastes, which provide the opportunity for CAFO contaminants to reach ground and surface water. In this presentation, an USEPA STAR project entitled “Fate and Effects of Hormones in Waste from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOS)” will be introduced first. The presentation will introduce five different tasks: 1) survey of hormones distribution in cattle CAFOs; 2) difference in manure hormones due to different handling practices; 3) rainfall simulation tests; 4) grass buffer effects for hormones removal; and 5) vadose zone transport of hormones. The presentation will then move into another project funded by NSF about the fate and transport of CAFO’s hormones in soil environments. It is well known that soils contain a wide range of particles of different diameters. In this NSF project, wet sieve washing and sedimentation methods were used to fractionate the soils into fine sand (0.425−0.075 mm), medium silt (0.075−0.045 mm), fine silt (0.045−0.002 mm), clay 1 (2−0.9 µm), and clay 2 (0.9−0.9 µm). Sorption and desorption of testosterone were studied and compared among these particles, together with how aquatic conditions (e.g. temperature, pH, ionic strength, soil/water ratio, organic matter) would affect the sorption and desorption of testosterone associated with three soil particle size fractions. This presentation may provide insights on hormones transport in the soil environment via the colloid-facilitated mechanism and/or repeated occurrence of sorption/desorption processes.

            "The U.S. Experience in Dealing with Non-point Source Pollution to Rivers and         Lakes"

            Abstract: In this presentation, the history of the US effort in mitigating non-point source (NPS) pollution to rivers and lakes will be reviewed. The US government first enacted a Water Pollution Control Act in 1948, which was amended multiple times ever since. In 1987, Section 319 was added with emphasis on development of regulations and technologies to control NPS. As of today, the NPS sources have been identified, and the prevention techniques have also been put in place. This review will provide relatively complete information over the years about the management practices adopted and approved by the US EPA in controlling NPS pollution from all sources. With agriculture being the major contributor to the NPS problems, different technologies in abating agricultural NPS pollution to water bodies will be reviewed in detail as well. In particular, some advanced technologies in treating animal manure to reduce its impact on water quality in the US will also be discussed.

            "Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Animal Waste and Agricultural Residues for Biogas       Production"

            Abstract: Anaerobic co-digestion of swine manure and corn stover for biogas production has been studied in two completely-mixed and semi-continuously fed reactors (Reactor 1 and Reactor 2). Each reactor had a working volume of 14 liters and was operated at 35°C, a hydraulic retention time of 25 days, and an agitation speed of 120 rpm. Initially the reactors were operated as duplicates and each was fed with 560 ml of swine wastewater per day. After a stable performance had been achieved in both reactors with almost the same results, corn stover was added to Reactor 2 to get a Carbon to Nitrogen ratio (C:N) of 10:1. Since then 560 ml of swine wastewater and 14 g of corn stover have been added to Reactor 2 every day to keep the C:N ratio at 10:1. In the meantime Reactor 1 has been fed the same as previously. Removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), fixed suspended solids (FSS), and volatile suspended solids (VSS) was 52%, 1%, 54%, and 51%, respectively in Reactor 1. When corn stover was added to Reactor 2, removal of COD, TKN, FSS, and VSS was 53%, 10%, 58%, and 58%, respectively. There was also a reduction of NH4-N by 15% in Reactor 2, probably because of the better balance of nutrients compared to Reactor 1, where an increase of ammonium was detected. Gas production increased dramatically during co-digestion, with average values of 274 ml per day in Reactor 1 and 3,910 ml per day in Reactor 2. Gas chromatography (GC) analyses have shown that methane content is 67.8% in Reactor 1 and 50.7% in Reactor 2. Thus, average methane production was 186 and 1982 ml per day in Reactors 1 and Reactor 2, respectively. However, methane yield was not significantly different for the two reactors.
