Application of electrochemical reactor divided by cellulosic membrane for optimized simultaneous removal of phenols,chromium, and ammonia from tannery effluents

The post treatment of simulated tannery wastewater was evaluated in an electrochemical oxidation process under galvanostatic conditions. A continuous flow reactor divided by a cellulosic membrane consisted of Ti/SnO₂–Sb anodes and iron cathodes was used. Central composite design and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied to investigate the effects of six operational parameters, namely initial concentration of total phenols (TPh), total chromium (TCr), total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), flow rate (Q), current intensity (I), and electrode surface area (A). Effectiveness of the innovative cellulosic membrane was proven by considerable pH variations in the anolyte and catholyte chambers. A faster removal rate was observed for TPh and TAN, followed by TCr. The treatment level was very sensitive to Q and I in the studied ranges. RSM showed the removal efficiencies of 78.14%, 63.42%, and 86.09% for TPh, TCr, and TAN, respectively, are achieved under optimal conditions with consumption of only 9.03 kWh m^?3 electrical energy. Chlorinated compounds such as chloroform, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and chlorobenzene were detected as the degradation intermediates. According to the obtained results, electrolysis in the divided cell with cellulosic membrane is a practical, cost-effective method for advanced treatment of tannery effluents.

Assessment and management of urbanization-induced ecological risks

The urban ecological risk incurred during the processes of urbanization has been constantly accumulating, creating a severe challenge for China to achieve sustainable urban development. At present, research on systematic evaluation of urban ecological risks is still inadequate, especially at an urban ecosystem level. In this special issue, we use Xiamen City as an example to identify the sources and receptors of urban ecological risks, to develop a methodology system of urban ecological risk assessment, and to propose a method for the management of urban ecological risks. This special issue contains 11 research articles resulting from a comprehensive research project funded by China’s National Natural Science Foundation. The innovations reported in this special issue include a framework of urban ecological risk assessment and a standardized procedure for carrying out urban ecological risk assessment using multiple stressors and endpoints.     

机械化学法修复柴油污染土壤的效率、产物及影响

针对常规污染土壤修复处理方法存在有毒降解产物、容易产生二次污染等问题,本研究采用行星球磨仪研究了机械化学法（MC）对柴油污染土壤的修复效能,利用GC/MS对柴油烃组分的降解产物进行分析,并采用SEM、XRD、BET、FTIR和TGA等方法对不同处理条件下的土壤样品进行表征.结果表明,MC处理在0.5~4.0 h内对土壤中总石油烃（TPH）的去除率可达95%以上.随着初始TPH浓度和球土质量比的升高,TPH去除率随之提高.采用MC处理后柴油组分降解难度顺序如下：烷烃<烯烃<环烷烃<芳香族化合物.在球磨处理4 h后,未检出有毒有害残留物质.球磨后土壤粒径变小,表面变粗糙,粘土矿物中的硅氧四面体暴露在土壤表面,矿物结构的结晶度逐渐降低,晶体结构逐渐破裂或变形,可在土壤表面形成富电子区域或促使土壤具有更高的反应活性,这是机械化学法高效降解柴油的主要机制.其次,土壤有机质的主要官能团受到破坏,纳米级孔隙容量降低,从而降低了土壤组分的吸附能力,增加了柴油的有效性,也有助于柴油的解吸和机械化学降解.此外,随着球磨时间的增加,土壤有机碳（SOC）含量先增加后下降,但均高于处理前.可见,MC处理可以快速彻底降解土壤中的柴油,且有利于增加土壤有机碳含量,对于石油烃污染土壤修复具有较好的应用潜力.
