氮磷在塘-湿地组合生态系统中的去除机制研究

采用多种形式的塘和湿地组合生态工艺完善传统的生态塘和湿地系统,能实现系统处理环境的多样化,提升对氮、磷的去除效能。对山东某组合生态处理系统的研究表明,组合生态处理系统能够有效提升对氮、磷营养物的去除效果。各生态单元水环境的差异影响着氮和磷的主导去除机制,使氮、磷表现出不同的季节去除规律。其中氮的去除主要依靠生物的硝化反硝化作用。底泥中的磷按照Fe-P>OPalk>Al-P>Ca-P>OPres逐渐变为Ca-P>Fe-P>Al-P>OPalk>OPres,与磷共沉降逐渐成为的主导去除机制。     

Sustainable recovery of nickel from spent hydrogenation catalyst: economics, emissions and wastes assessment

Economic viability, carbon emission profile and waste management associated with nickel recovery from spent hydrogenation catalysts are studied from sustainability perspectives. The purpose is to determine and compare the economic, environmental and social implications of different nickel reclamation techniques towards clean, safe and sustainable recovery of nickel from spent catalysts. Sustainability evaluation models are formulated to understand and improve the cost, carbon footprint and resource efficiency of a closed-loop nickel recovery process. The economic viability of the process highly depends on market values of recovered nickel and the production batch size. At a selling price higher than $12.60/kg, an operation with a batch size as small as 50 kg/batch would be profitable. The current rising nickel market, at ∼$18-24/kg, favors recovery operations although it also casts a dual effect on production costs. About 73-82% of carbon emission of the process is from the use of energy in the recovery operation. Energy efficiency is therefore identified as the most critical factor to improve the carbon footprint. The closed-loop process also improves resource use efficiency and minimizes toxic waste generation.     

基于生态足迹法的煤炭型城市可持续发展研究——以河南义马市为例

运用可持续发展等级及生态足迹指数法对河南省义马市2007-2012年的可持续发展状况进行了定量测评.结果表明,该市的人均生态赤字远远超出了中国的平均水平,且该地区的可持续发展指数远低于0,表明该地区近年来出现了极其严重的生态赤字,处于强不可持续发展中.造成这种情况的主要原因是过度依靠煤炭资源的单一经济发展方式.因此,建议义马市着重发展非煤产业,实现产业结构的优化,为该地区可持续发展提供有力保障.

The potential risk assessment for different arsenic species in the aquatic environment

The different toxicity characteristics of arsenic species result in discrepant ecological risk. The predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) 43.65, 250.18, and 2.00 × 10³ μg/L were calculated for As(III), As(V), and dimethylarsinic acid in aqueous phase, respectively. With these PNECs, the ecological risk from arsenic species in Pearl River Delta in China and Kwabrafo stream in Ghana was evaluated. It was found that the risk from As(III) and As(V) in the samples from Pearl River Delta was low, while much high in Kwabrafo stream. This study implies that ecological risk of arsenic should be evaluated basing on its species.     

砖混和剪力墙结构住宅建筑碳足迹对比研究

通过对厦门大学职工砖混结构和剪力墙结构住宅住户的调查,将住宅建筑生命周期分为建材生产、建材运输、建筑建造、建筑使用、建筑拆除和废旧建材处理6个阶段,计算了2种建筑结构不同生命周期阶段的碳排放,结果显示:2种建筑碳足迹都为2.3 t/m2左右,砖混结构的人均碳足迹高于剪力墙结构,分别为67.98 t/m2和64.47 t/m2;2种住宅绝大部分的碳排放来自建材生产和建筑使用两阶段,剪力墙结构住宅在建材生产阶段碳排放量为0.673 4 t/m2,是砖混结构的2倍多;剪力墙结构住宅使用期间的碳排放量为1.59 t/m2,为砖混结构的81.2%。剪力墙结构住宅建材生产和建筑使用碳排放占建筑全生命周期碳排放的比例分别为29.28%和69.13%,砖混结构住宅则为14.01%和84.81%。研究结果可为发展低碳建筑提供科学依据。     

Investigation and assessment of micropollutants and associated biological effects in wastewater treatment processes

Currently, the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) attempt to achieve the shifting from general pollution parameters control to reduction of organic micropollutants discharge. However, they have not been able to satisfy the increasing ecological safety needs. In this study, the removal of micropollutants was investigated, and the ecological safety was assessed for a local WWTP. Although the total concentration of 31 micropollutants detected was reduced by 83% using the traditional biological treatment processes, the results did not reflect chemicals that had poor removal efficiencies and low concentrations. Of the five categories of micropollutants, herbicides, insecticides, and bactericides were difficult to remove, pharmaceuticals and UV filters were effectively eliminated. The specific photosynthesis inhibition effect and non-specific bioluminescence inhibition effect from wastewater were detected and evaluated using hazardous concentration where 5% of aquatic organisms are affected. The photosynthesis inhibition effect from wastewater in the WWTP was negligible, even the untreated raw wastewater. However, the bioluminescence inhibition effect from wastewater which was defined as the priority biological effect, posed potential ecological risk. To decrease non-specific biological effects, especially of macromolecular dissolved organic matter, overall pollutant reduction strategy is necessary. Meanwhile, the ozonation process was used to further decrease the bioluminescence inhibition effects from the secondary effluent; ≥ 0.34 g O₃/g DOC of ozone dose was recommended for micropollutants elimination control and ecological safety.
