    Multiscale structures of biological flocs

    No full text
    The three-dimensional pore structures in waste activated sludge floc were identifed using the fluorescence in situ hybridization and confocal laser scanning microscope images. The interior of sludge floc was confirmed to have a multiscale structure, with pore cross-sectional area of 15–20 ųm² as the transitional scale. Major advective flow would pass through the large pores, probed as a loosely packed, first level structuration. The chemical flocculation would enlarge the aspect ratio of large pores, while freezing and thawing reduced it. The second level structuration was comprised of fine pores with fractal boundaries, whose detailed structural information was extracted from the constructed floc model. After flocculation, the boundaries of fine pores would become more irregular, and freezing and thawing smoothed it. A sample calculation using the floc model demonstrated the intrafloc transport processes in flocs of multiscale structures

    Bilevel thresholding of floc images

    No full text
    Frequently encountered problems on bilevel thresholding of floc images include information loss during the image conversion stage, sampling bias owing to spatially inhomogeneous luminous flux over an optical microscope image or among a series of images, thresholding error adopting various algorithms, and resampling errors during three-dimensional reconstruction. Among these steps the choice of thresholding algorithm could yield most of the processing error. Ways to reduce the potential processing errors are discussed
