Landfill Bioreactor Cells as Ecofilters for Extraction of Bio-energy and Nutrients from Solid Wastes

This paper describes a modified, ecologically based waste treatment technique, where municipal solid waste is anaerobically treated in landfill reactorcells in a way that both bio-energy and nutrients can be recovered. The controlled landfill reactorcell ('bioreactor-cell') serves as an anaerobic filter, where energy is extracted as biogas while nutrients are recovered through the leachates. The leachates can be used as fertilizer in e.g. energy forests within the controlled landfill area, and thus nutrients can be brought back into an ecocycle. At the same time anaerobic conditions result in an effective immobilization of heavy metals and other pollutants, e.g. through complexation to organic matter or as insoluble metal sulphides, which are immobilized in the fermentation residue. The long-lived organic fraction, remaining after the fermentation process has declined, containing a high content of lignine, serves as a water-holding matrix. Thus it helps to enforce a sustainable high moisture level, resulting in sustainable anaerobic conditions with heavy metals retained on a long-term basis. Also non-degradable products, like plastics, help to shield off oxygen and maintain reliable anaerobic conditions. Landfilling of organic matter under anaerobic conditions is a measure to counteract increasing concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere, resulting from human activities. A small fraction of the organic matter is long-term accumulated in the landfill, and the processes can be compared to those of natural wetlands.     

珠江口及近海水体中铜的含量和形态及其与营养盐的空间分布关系

在对珠江河口及近海水体中Cu的含量和形态以及主要营养盐水平及形式进行监测分析的基础上,分析水体中Cu的总浓度、总溶解态Cu、颗粒态Cu以及游离态Cu与水体中主要营养盐及其主要赋存形式之间的内在联系。结果表明:水体中Cu的总浓度和各营养盐之间存在着对数分布的函数关系,其相关性N>Si>P,水体中游离态Cu与养分的相关性顺序为:NO2->SiO32->PO43->NO3->NH4+。通过计算得到研究水域中的N Si原子比为0 78,接近浮游生物体内的比值,说明水体中Cu的分布与N,Si养分的再生循环有着十分紧密的联系。      

营养物质输入对赤潮发生的影响

以国内外7个典型海湾为例,分析了营养物质输入对赤潮发生的影响。结果表明,陆源污染物排人及海水养殖业自身污染是是近岸海域营养物质输入的主要来源。水体富营养化的不断加剧是赤潮频发的重要原因,而富营养化程度降低的海域发生赤潮的风险也会下降,营养盐比例的改变是浮游植物种类的重要控制因子。     

太湖湖西区河网营养盐输移规律研究

为控制湖西区入湖营养盐量,需要对太湖湖西区河网进行N、P营养盐监测与输移路径模拟.结果显示,宜溧地区营养盐输移规律基本表现为径流输移;常州、金坛地区京杭运河以南河网区虽然日输移路径较为复杂,但是洪期、年输移路径却一致;而京杭运河以北河网营养盐输移规律最为复杂,不仅表现为日输移路径的规律性差,而且洪期、年净输移路径相反....     

基于核密度估计的城市基础要素与街尘营养元素含量特征关联

了解城市基础要素与街尘污染物在空间上的关联特征有利于城市非点源污染源区的定量解释及精准控制.为探究城市基础要素与街尘营养元素含量空间分布之间的联系,以武汉市汉阳区为案例研究区,选取总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、交换态磷(Ex-P)、铝结合态磷(Al-P)、铁结合态磷(Fe-P)、闭蓄态磷(Oc-P)、钙结合态磷(Ca-P...
