以紫外灯为光源 ,附载在镍网上的 TiO₂ 为催化剂 ,研究水中 PCA光催化降解动力学行为和机理 .结果表明 ,PCA的降解符合准一级动力学方程 ;初始 pH4～11对其反应速率影响较小 ;增大氧气浓度能加快 PCA的降解和脱氯速率 ;外加电位能大幅度提高 PCA的降解速率 .通过 GC-MS技术确定其降解中间产物主要有苯胺、硝基苯、对氯硝基苯、偶氮苯、4,4′-二氯偶氮苯等 ,它们最终矿化为 NH⁺₄、Cl^-、NO^-₃ 和 CO₂ .光催化能有效地降解 PCA但其矿化比降解需要更长的时间 .     

Co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and biomass for stabilizing heavy metals and reducing biochar toxicity: A review

The huge amounts of sewage sludge produced by municipal wastewater treatment plants induce major environmental and economical issues, calling for advanced disposal methods. Traditional methods for sewage sludge disposal increase greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Moreover, biochar created from sewage sludge often cannot be used directly in soil applications due to elevated levels of heavy metals and other toxic compounds, which alter soil biota and earthworms. This has limited the application of sewage sludge-derived biochar as a fertilizer. Here, we review biomass and sewage sludge co-pyrolysis with a focus on the stabilization of heavy metals and toxicity reduction of the sludge-derived biochar. We observed that co-pyrolyzing sewage sludge with biomass materials reduced heavy metal concentrations and decreased the environmental risk of sludge-derived biochar by up to 93%. Biochar produced from sewage sludge and biomass co-pyrolysis could enhance the reproduction stimulation of soil biota by 20‒98%. Heavy metals immobilization and transformation are controlled by the co-feed material mixing ratio, pyrolysis temperature, and pyrolysis atmosphere.
