Urban geochemistry: research strategies to assist risk assessment and remediation of brownfield sites in urban areas

Urban geochemical maps of Wolverhampton and Nottingham, based on multielement analysis of surface soils, have shown distribution patterns of “total” metals concentrations relating to past and present industrial and domestic land use and transport systems. Several methods have been used to estimate the solubility and potential bioavailability of metals, their mineral forms and potential risks to urban population groups. These include sequential chemical extraction, soil pore water extraction and analysis, mineralogical analysis by scanning electron microscopy, source apportionment by lead isotope analysis and the development of models to predict metal uptake by homegrown vegetables to provide an estimate of risk from metal consumption and exposure. The results from these research strategies have been integrated with a geographical information system (GIS) to provide data for future land-use planning.     

Anaerobic co-digestion of kitchen waste and fruit/vegetable waste: Lab-scale and pilot-scale studies

The anaerobic digestion performances of kitchen waste (KW) and fruit/vegetable waste (FVW) were investigated for establishing engineering digestion system. The study was conducted from lab-scale to pilot-scale, including batch, single-phase and two-phase experiments. The lab-scale experimental results showed that the ratio of FVW to KW at 5:8 presented higher methane productivity (0.725 L CH₄/g VS), and thereby was recommended. Two-phase digestion appeared to have higher treatment capacity and better buffer ability for high organic loading rate (OLR) (up to 5.0 g (VS) L^?1 d^?1), compared with the low OLR of 3.5 g (VS) L^?1 d^?1 for single-phase system. For two-phase digestion, the pilot-scale system showed similar performances to those of lab-scale one, except slightly lower maximum OLR of 4.5 g (VS) L^?1 d^?1 was allowed. The pilot-scale system proved to be profitable with a net profit of 10.173 $/ton as higher OLR (?3.0 g (VS) L^?1 d^?1) was used.     

双氰胺和3,4-二甲基吡唑磷酸盐对蔬菜种植土壤氨氧化细菌和古菌的影响

硝化抑制剂双氰胺(DCD)和3,4-二甲基吡唑磷酸盐(DMPP)在抑制农业土壤硝化作用和提高氮肥利用率等方面效果显著,为了探讨它们对蔬菜种植土壤氨氧化细菌(AOB)和古菌(AOA)的作用机制,选取40 a以上蔬菜种植土壤,在施加尿素(CK)基础上,分别添加DCD和DMPP进行室内培养,系统监测了土壤中NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N和硝化势的变化,同时运用荧光定量PCR和高通量测序等技术揭示了AOB和AOA种群丰度和多样性的演替规律.结果表明,相比CK处理,DCD处理和DMPP处理的NH_4~+-N含量升高了213%和675%; NO_3~--N含量降低了13. 3%和37. 2%;硝化势降低了20. 4%和82. 4%;同时,AOB丰度降低了51. 2%和56. 5%; AOA丰度降低了6. 0%和27. 0%.不同抑制剂处理间AOB和AOA的α多样性指数没有显著差异; nork-environmental-samples、unclassified-Nitrosomonadaceae、unclassified-Bactertia和Nitrosospira是AOB序列属水平的主要优势类群; norank-Crenarchaeota、norank-enviromental-samples和Nitrososphaera是AOA序列属水平的主要优势类群,施用DCD和DMPP显著改变了AOB和AOA的群落组成.综上所述,尿素与DCD和DMPP配施显著抑制NH_4~+-N的转化,降低AOB和AOA的种群丰度并改变其群落组成.相比DCD,DMPP对硝化作用的抑制和对AOB和AOA群落的影响更强.     

食用植物油加工VOCs排放特征
