放射性核素污染及监测(续完)

6　原子能发电站周边的水环境监测为了掌握核设施释放的气体、液体等放射性废物对人体和环境的影响,可以从暴露形态、途径、范围等几方面研究。从环境监测的角度出发,研究可分为空间放射性监测和环境试样监测,后者包括大气、陆地和海洋监测。在探查核设施对环境的影响时,环境监测工作最重要。例如与水环境关系最为密切的氚(T、3H),一般不能回收而以HTO的形态释放,废气和大气颗粒物中的3H是监测和评价核设施的重点,气态3H的排放量约为液体排放量的1/10,能被人体直接吸入而造成危害[37]。日本1994年制定的监测指导方针中,将环境放射性监测…

针对固定污染源挥发性卤代烃污染物的排放监测需求,采用称量法制备固定污染源废气监测用挥发性卤代烃标准气体(各组分具有浓度差异),并开展制备不确定度评定研究。通过分析原料试剂纯度、液态/气态组分称量、混合液配比、摩尔质量、气体残留等因素和环节引入的不确定度,确立标准气体制备不确定度评定流程。最终,确定固定污染源废气监测用挥发性卤代烃标准气体制备过程引入的相对扩展不确定度(k=2)小于1%。液态/气态组分称量和上一级中间气浓度引入的不确定度对特性量值不确定度的贡献较大,原料试剂纯度对不确定度的影响较小,摩尔质量和气体残留对不确定度的影响可忽略。     

乌鲁木齐市硫酸盐化速率关键影响因子分析

对硫酸盐化速率与大气中污染物质浓度和气象因素的分析结果表明,硫酸盐化速率不仅取决于SO2的浓度,还与PM10显著相关,是因为PM10表面为SO2的催化氧化提供了载体。气压和空气相对湿度对硫酸盐化速率有积极的促进作用,空气中的气态H2O具有凝结污染物质的能力,而降水对污染物质的冲刷效应降低了硫酸盐化速率。影响硫酸盐化速率的是空气中气态H2O而非降水。气温通过影响逆温层和风速共同影响着污染物浓度的扩散和稀释,从而决定着硫酸盐化速率的增减。     

锅炉监测结果的折算问题

《锅炉大气污染物排放标准》( GB1 32 71 - 91 ) ,对小于标准过量空气系数的折算未作要求。某些锅炉在低过量空气系数的情况下其排放浓度超标 ,而校正到标准过量空气系数时就有可能不超标。由于炉内稀释和炉外稀释都没有改变其对大气污染的负荷 ,对这些锅炉的监测结果不作校正 ,显然是不公平的。 2 0 0 0年 1月 1日实施的《锅炉大气污染物排放标准》( GBPB 3- 1 999)则解决了这个问题。实测的锅炉烟尘、二氧化硫、氮氧化物排放浓度均按该标准规定的过量空气系数进行折算。诸如“α<1 .7,故无需折算”等语句 ,显然不符合 GBPB 3- 1 999内…

Local Air Quality Impacts due to Downwash Around Thermal Power Plants: Numerical Simulations of the Effect of Building Orientation

One of the primary adverse environmental impacts associated with power generation facilities and in particular thermal power plants is local air quality. When these plants are operated at inland areas the dry type cooling towers used may significantly increase ambient concentrations of air pollutants due to the building downwash effect. When one or more buildings in the vicinity of a point source interrupt wind flow, an area of turbulence known as a building wake is created. Pollutants emitted from relatively low level sources can be caught in this turbulence affecting their dispersion. In spite of the fact that natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plants have lower air emission levels compared to other power plants using alternative fossil fuel, they can still create significant local air pollution problems. In this paper, local air quality impacts of a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant located in a coastal area are compared with those of another natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant having identical air emissions but located in an inland area taking into account differences in topography and meteorology. Additionally, a series of scenarios for the inland site have been envisaged to illustrate the importance of plant lay-out configurations paying particular attention to the building downwash effect. Model results showed that different geometrical configurations of the stacks and cooling towers will cause remarkable differences in ambient air pollutant concentrations; thus it is concluded that when selecting a plant site, a detailed site-specific investigation should be conducted in order to achieve the least possible ambient air pollution concentrations with the given emissions.     

Quantification of re-evaporated mass from loaded fibre-mist eliminators

Airborne lubricant emissions are a serious health hazard for employees in the metal working industry. The basic components of lubricants are oils and additives for adapting the properties to achieve the process demands. The oils used in lubricants are either mineral, synthetic or of biological origin. The lubricants are used as water-emulsions and also as straight oils. Extreme process conditions cause considerable amounts of aerosol and vapour emissions of lubricants into the working environment. Fibre filters are used in industrial demisters for pollution control and also for sampling purposes. Re-evaporation of separated lubricants from loaded fibre filters causes increased vapour emissions. Quantification of lubricant vapour emission was the subject of this research. An apparatus and an appropriate procedure for measuring the dynamic behaviour of evaporative losses from fibre filters were developed. The test piece of a loaded fibre filter was fixed in a sampling probe according to VDI 2066. The vapour concentration of organic compounds in downstream air was measured in real-time by using a photo-ionisation detector (PID). The PID was checked by sampling the vapour on an oleophilic adsorbent resin, solvent extraction and quantitative IR analysis and also gravimetrically. The two basic processes of filtering volatile aerosols are, on the one hand, collecting droplets on the fibres and, on the other hand, the evaporation of collected liquid. These two processes had to be separated in order to measure the increase of the vapour concentration caused by the tested fibre filter. The experiments were carried out using pure dodecane and hexadecane in order to avoid difficulties due to the unknown chemical composition of lubricant vapour. The variation of the air flow and the initial liquid mass on the filter covered the relevant range for industrial fibre demisters and for sampling methods based on collecting aerosols on fibre filters. It was found that the downstream air was saturated with lubricant vapour for a wide range of filter loads and filtration velocities. From the results obtained it can be concluded that loaded industrial filter systems emit air with saturation vapour concentration throughout their operation. Hence, vapour emissions can be estimated easily if the saturation vapour pressure and the mean relative molecular mass are known. Moreover, results obtained from measurements of filters with low loads confirm that the phase transition from liquid to vapour is influenced by the identified process parameters. This is relevant for measurement methods using fibre filters for sampling volatile aerosols. A semi-empirical model to estimate the evaporative losses for low loadings is proposed. However, further research is necessary to determine the full range of parameters that are relevant for evaporative losses from filters loaded with low masses of aerosols.     

Emission inventory of evaporative emissions of VOCs in four metro cities in India

High concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air of urban areas stress the need for the control of VOC emissions due to the toxic and carcinogenic nature of many VOCs commonly encountered in urban air. Emission inventories are an essential tool in the management of local air quality, which provide a listing of sources of air pollutant emissions within a specific area over a specified period of time. This study intended to provide a level IV emission inventory as par the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) definition for evaporative VOC emissions in the metro cities of India namely Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. The vehicular evaporative emissions are found to be the largest contributor to the total evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons followed by evaporative losses related to petrol loading and unloading activities. Besides vehicle-related activities, other major sources contributing to evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons are surface coating, dry cleaning, graphical art applications, printing (newspaper and computer), and the use of consumer products. Various specific preventive measures are also recommended for reducing the emissions.

Incineration of hazardous wastes

Glaxo has practiced incineration of liquid and gaseous wastes for over twenty years and currently operate eleven liquid and gas incinerators in the United Kingdom and Singapore. The liquid incinerators burn, as their main streams, those solvents that cannot be recovered and recycled within the processes. The early installations were for readily combustible solvents only. However, there has been a progressive move into the destruction of more difficult and hazardous wastes, with the consequential requirements for more sophisticated technology, in the belief that the responsible destruction of waste should be tackled near to its source. The eventual aim is to be self-sufficient in this area of waste management. The incineration of hazardous liquid and gaseous waste has presented a series of design, operational and monitoring problems into account which have all been successfully overcome. The solutions take into account the environmental consequences of the operations from both liquid and gaseous emissions. In order to ensure minimal environmental impact and safe operation the best practicable technology is employed. Environmental assessment forms part of the process development and permitting procedures.Plenary speaker.     

Assessment of Mexico��s program to use ethanol as transportation fuel: impact of 6% ethanol-blended fuel on emissions of light-duty gasoline vehicles

Recently, the Mexican government launched a national program encouraging the blending of renewable fuels in engine fuel. To aid the assessment of the environmental consequences of this move, the effect of gasoline fuel additives, ethanol and methyl tert-butyl ether, on the tailpipe and the evaporative emissions of Mexico sold cars was investigated. Regulated exhaust and evaporative emissions, such as carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, and 15 unregulated emissions were measured under various conditions on a set of 2005?C2008 model light-duty vehicles selected based on sales statistics for the Mexico City metropolitan area provided by car manufacturers. The selected car brands are also frequent in Canada, the USA, and other parts of the world. This paper provides details and results of the experiment that are essential for evaluation of changes in the emission inventory, originating in the low-blend ethanol addition in light vehicle fuel.

The contribution of evaporative emissions from gasoline vehicles to the volatile organic compound inventory in Mexico City

The strategy for decreasing volatile organic compound emissions in Mexico has been focused much more on tailpipe emissions than on evaporative emissions, so there is very little information on the contribution of evaporative emissions to the total volatile organic compound inventory. We examined the magnitudes of exhaust and evaporative volatile organic compound emissions, and the species emitted, in a representative fleet of light-duty gasoline vehicles in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City. The US “FTP-75” test protocol was used to estimate volatile organic compound emissions associated with diurnal evaporative losses, and when the engine is started and a journey begins. The amount and nature of the volatile organic compounds emitted under these conditions have not previously been accounted in the official inventory of the area. Evaporative emissions from light-duty vehicles in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City were estimated to be 39 % of the total annual amount of hydrocarbons emitted. Vehicles built before 1992 (16 % of the fleet) were found to be responsible for 43 % of the total hydrocarbon emissions from exhausts and 31 % of the evaporative emissions of organic compounds. The relatively high amounts of volatile organic compounds emitted from older vehicles found in this study show that strong emission controls need to be implemented in order to decrease the contribution of evaporative emissions of this fraction of the fleet.     

Industrial effluent quality, pollution monitoring and environmental management

Royal Commission Environmental Control Department (RC-ECD) at Yanbu industrial city in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has established a well-defined monitoring program to control the pollution from industrial effluents. The quality of effluent from each facility is monitored round the clock. Different strategic measures have been taken by the RC-ECD to implement the zero discharge policy of RC. Industries are required to pre-treat the effluent to conform pretreatment standards before discharging to central biological treatment plant. Industries are not allowed to discharge any treated or untreated effluent in open channels. After treatment, reclaimed water must have to comply with direct discharge standards before discharge to the sea. Data of industrial wastewater collected from five major industries and central industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) is summarized in this report. During 5-year period, 3,705 samples were collected and analyzed for 43,436 parameters. There were 1,377 violations from pretreatment standards from all the industries. Overall violation percentage was 3.17%. Maximum violations were recorded from one of the petrochemical plants. The results show no significant pollution due to heavy metals. Almost all heavy metals were within RC pretreatment standards. High COD and TOC indicates that major pollution was due to hydrocarbons. Typical compounds identified by GC-MS were branched alkanes, branched alkenes, aliphatic ketones, substituted thiophenes, substituted phenols, aromatics and aromatic alcohols. Quality of treated water was also in compliance with RC direct discharge standards. In order to achieve the zero discharge goal, further studies and measures are in progress.     

A Numerical and Experimental Study of Pollutant Dispersion in a Traffic Tunnel

Three-dimensional turbulent flow and dispersion of gaseous pollutants carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in a road tunnel was modeled using the standard k–ε turbulence model and solved numerically using the finite volume method. Vehicle emissions were estimated from the measured traffic flow rates and modeled as banded line sources along the tunnel floor. The effects of fan ventilation and piston effect of moving vehicles on the airflow and pollutant dilution were examined. The numerical results reveal that a peak velocity exists near the tunnel floor due to the piston effect of vehicles. The cross-sectional concentrations of air pollutants are non-uniformly distributed and concentrations rise with downstream distance. The piston effect of vehicles can alone provide 25%–34% dilution of air pollutants in the tunnel, compounded 43%–70% dilution effect according to the ventilation condition.
