River modeling

The waste pathway and river modelling module is used for the prediction of chemical emission, of chemical removal/transformation during conveyance and treatment, and of chemical fate in rivers [62]. Chemical fate in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and in rivers is described deterministically, with several levels of complexity being available to reflect the available information concerning both the chemical and the environment. 

The compound formaldehyde is biodegrading in several systems simultaneously (1) a lake, modeled as a complete mix reactor (2) an estuary, modeled as three complete mixed reactors in series (3) a large river, modeled as 10 complete mixed reactors in series, and a small stream, modeled as a plug flow reactor. What is the nondimensional reaction/residence time, k p, that is required for each of these systems to reach a degradation of 50%, 90%, 99%, and 99.9% ... 

Food Chain Bioaccumulation. Because of the rapid hydrolysis of HDI in water and the ease with which this substance is metabolized in higher trophic animals (see Section 2.3), it is not expected that this substance will bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms, or bioaccumulate in the food chain. Neither TDI and MDl, nor their diamine hydrolysis products, TDA and MDA, have been found to bioaccumulate in fish (Cyprinus carpio) in river model studies (International Isocyanate Institute 1990). No information on BCFs and food chain bioaccmnulation could be foimd for HDI in the available literature however, a BCF of approximately 100 was calculated using the method of Veith et al. (1979), which indicates a very low bioaccumulation potential for HDI. Further studies on the bioaccumulation of HDI do not appear to be warranted. 

The following explanations cannot replace the large literature on hydraulics and mixing processes in rivers (see, e.g., Fischer et al., 1979 Rutherford, 1994). As a first step toward full-scale river modeling, we shall explain and describe the following processes ...

PG-ROUT is a deterministic river model applicable throughout the United States (57). Predictions are based on more than 500,000 United States river miles. This model also predicts concentrations under 7Q10 and mean-flow conditions. The model is driven by several large EPA databases. Predictions are made below each of the 11,500 POTWs, at drinking water intakes and at any desired mile points in the river systems. The model output includes a frequency distribution by river mile and a detailed PC database. 

As previously stated, it is usually necessary to use a river model with an enlarged vertical scale. In this case, the velocity varies as Lr and hence...

Fig. 5 Scheme of model for calculating relative aquatic concentrations (RAC). The soil compartment and the river model are connected through the flux (fsw) from soil to the first box of the river model. The river model consists of flowing water (shaded boxes), stagnant water (white boxes) and an underlying river sediment (not shown). Reprinted with permission from [8], p 2446.
