Heavy metal speciation in the composting process 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Composting is one of the more efficient and environment friendly methods of solid waste disposal and has many advantages when compared with landfill disposal on which the UK and Ireland are currently heavily dependent. Composting is a very complicated process involving intensive microbial activity and the detailed mechanisms of the process have yet to be fully understood. Metal speciation information can provide an insight into the metal-microbial interaction and would help in the evaluation of the quality of compost. This would facilitate the exploitation of composts in remediation of heavy metal contaminated land. In this work a systematic approach to metal speciation in compost has been taken by applying the three-step method for operationally defined metal speciation of soils and sediments, developed by the European Commission's Standards, Measurement and Testing Programme to monitor the change in metal speciation with time (up to 106 days) for four different waste composting processes. The results have shown that in general metals become less available for the first extraction step as the composting process proceeds. This implies that composting tends to redistribute the metals from more labile forms to more fixed forms which may explain why the application of composts could be useful for with heavy metal contaminated land. There are exceptions to this trend and in some cases, certain metals appear to behave differently depending on the source of the compost. 相似文献

The leaching tests, including the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), EDTA extraction and BCR sequential extractions
before and after EDTA treatments, were performed on two specific soils to elucidate heavy metal-associated mineral fractions
and general leachability. The TCLP illustrated the low leachability of heavy metals in soils from two sites. EDTA is a strong
chelator and therefore had higher extraction efficiency compared to that of TCLP. The lower extraction percentages by EDTA
for As and Sb were found compared to the other heavy metals derived from anthropogenic sources. Sequential extractions showed
that the importance of acid-extractable, organically-bound and Fe–Mn oxide fractions was identified for anthropogenic heavy
metals with the exception of As and Ni while the importance of residual fraction was identified for endogenous metals. Changes
in sequential fractions of heavy metals after leaching with EDTA are very complex and it is difficult to generalize on which
fraction was more mobile than the others. These combined results are helpful in elucidating the association of heavy metals
to soil fractions and the mobility characteristics of heavy metals under certain environmental conditions. 相似文献

As one of cities in the developing countries, a rapid population growth and industrial activities pose many environmental challenges for Jimma city, Ethiopia. One aspect of urban growth posing a threat on sustainable development is poor solid waste management, which results in environmental pollution. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quantity, composition, sources of waste generated, their current disposal practices, and to recommend appropriate management technologies. The total waste generated daily in Jimma city was ca. 88,000 kg, and the average per capita generation rate was 0.55?±?0.17 kg/capita/day. Eighty-seven percent of the waste was produced by households and 13% by institutions, and a negligible fraction (0.1%) was generated by street sweepings. During the rainy season, 40% more waste was generated than in the dry season because of the increased availability of agricultural food product. Further analysis showed that biodegradable organic waste constitutes 54% by weight with an average moisture content of 60% that falls within the required limits for composting. The nonbiodegradable components constitute 46% of which 30% of it was nonrecyclable material. Only 25% of the community uses municipal containers for disposal at the selected landfill site. Fifty-one percent of the households disposed their waste in individually chosen spots, whereas 22% burned their waste. Finally 2% of households use private waste collectors. The socioeconomic analysis showed that higher family income and educational status is associated more with private or municipal waste collection and less with the application of backyard or open dumping. These insights into generated waste and management practice in Jimma city allow making suggestions for improved collection, treatment, and disposal methods. A primary conclusion is that the biodegradable waste is a major fraction having suitable properties for recycling. As such an economic benefit can be obtained from this waste while avoiding the need for disposal. 相似文献

The remediation of the Thala Valley landfill, Casey Station, East Antarctica, is part of efforts to clean-up contaminated sites associated with the Australian Antarctic Program. These sites, ranging from abandoned rubbish dumps to fuel spills, are contaminated principally with metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. Remediation success depends on accurate, cost-effective and timely--fit-for-purpose--chemical analysis of soil and water samples from the site, which is required to guide excavation, the in situ or off-site treatment and disposal of contaminated material, and to validate satisfactory remediation. Owing to the remote location of Antarctica, it is necessary to carry out chemical analyses on-site. Waste and soil contaminated with Pb, Zn, Cd, and Cu were excavated from Thala Valley for removal to Australia, treatment and disposal. Analysis of total metal concentrations in soil was performed at Casey Station with a transportable energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. Soil samples were prepared using a simple size-fractionation method to expedite sample throughput. A method for assessing contaminant mobility in solid waste (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, TCLP) was also used to characterise soil. Although this was more labour-intensive and time-consuming than the total metals analysis, it was of great utility because leachable metals were often significant determinants in the assessment of contaminated soil. The combined data helped managers during remediation, directing excavation and allowing waste to be classified for treatment and disposal before its return to Australia. 相似文献

An evaluation of alternative household solid waste treatment practices using life cycle inventory assessment mode 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Waste disposal is an important part of the life cycle of a product and is associated with environmental burdens like any other
life-cycle stages. In this study, an integrated assessment for solid waste treatment practices, especially household solid
waste, was undertaken to evaluate the impact contribution of household solid waste treatment alternatives towards the sustainable
development by using Life Cycle Inventory Assessment method. A case study has been investigated under various possible scenarios, such as (1) landfill without landfill gas recovery,
(2) landfill with landfill gas recovery and flaring, (3) landfill with landfill gas recovery and electric generation, (4)
composting, and (5) incineration. The evaluation utilized the Life Cycle Inventory Assessment method for multiple assessments based on various aspects, such as greenhouse gas emission/reduction, energy generation/consumption,
economic benefit, investment and operating cost, and land use burden. The results showed that incineration was the most efficient
alternative for greenhouse gas emission reduction, economic benefit, energy recovery, and land use reduction, although it
was identified as the most expensive for investment and operating cost, while composting scenario was also an efficient alternative
with quite economic benefit, low investment and operating cost, and high reduction of land use, although it was identified
as existing greenhouse gas emission and no energy generation. Furthermore, the aim of this study was also to establish localized
assessment methods that waste management agencies, environmental engineers, and environmental policy decision makers can use
to quantify and compare the contribution to the impacts from different waste treatment options. 相似文献
