氯苯紫外光降解产物对生物过滤塔运行性能的影响

生物过滤技术对难生物降解VOCs的处理效果较差,构建紫外光降解-生物过滤联合处理工艺是解决难生物降解VOCs处理的一个有效手段.已有研究表明,紫外光降解预处理对氯苯生物过滤塔的去除性能有促进作用.为了考察紫外预处理对生物过滤塔的影响机理,本研究分别考察了氯苯紫外光降解主要产物氯酚、乙酸以及副产物臭氧对生物过滤塔运行性能的影响.研究结果表明,加入乙酸降低了生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能,在增加喷淋量后去除性能有所恢复.加入邻氯酚使生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能略有降低.臭氧明显促进了生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能,当进口臭氧浓度在60～120mg.m-3时,氯苯平均去除率可由70%提高到90%以上.因此,臭氧是紫外预处理促进生物过滤塔运行性能的主要因素.

Gaseous emissions from weaned pigs raised on different floor systems

Gaseous emissions from agriculture contribute to a number of environmental effects. Carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) are greenhouse gases taking part to the global problem of climate change. Ammonia (NH₃) emissions are responsible of soil acidification and eutrophication and contribute also to indirect emissions of N₂O. This work evaluated the influence of the type of floor on the emissions of these gases in the raising of weaned pigs. Two trials were carried out. In the first trial, the animals were kept either on fully slatted floor or on straw-based deep litter and, in the second one, either on fully slatted floor or on sawdust-based deep litter. For each trial and on each type of floor, 2 successive batches of weaned pigs were raised without changing the litter or emptying the slurry pit between the 2 batches. The rooms were automatically ventilated to maintain a constant ambient temperature.The performance of the animals was not significantly different according to the floor type. In trial 1, the nitrogen contents of the straw deep litter (including the substrate) and slurry were respectively 276 and 389 g pig⁻¹. In trial 2, the sawdust deep litter and slurry nitrogen contents were respectively 122 and 318 g pig⁻¹.Raising pigs on straw deep litter produced proportionately around 100% more NH₃ than raising pigs on slatted floor (0.61 g NH₃-N d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ vs. 0.31 g NH₃-N d⁻¹ pig⁻¹; P < 0.05). Differences in CO₂, H₂O and CH₄ emissions were not significant between systems. Raising pigs on sawdust deep litter produced also proportionately more NH₃ (+52%; 0.55 g NH₃-N d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ vs. 0.36 g NH₃-N d⁻¹ pig⁻¹; P < 0.01) but also more CO₂ (+25%; 427 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ vs. 341 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹; P < 0.001) and H₂O (+65%; 981 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ vs. 593 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹; P < 0.001) and less CH₄ (−40%; 0.52 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ vs. 0.86 g d⁻¹ pig⁻¹; P < 0.001) than raising pigs on slatted floor. Practically no N₂O emission was observed from rooms with slatted floor while the N₂O emissions were 0.03 and 0.32 g N₂O-N d⁻¹ pig⁻¹ for the straw and sawdust deep litter respectively. The warming potential of the greenhouse gases (N₂O + CH₄), were about 22, 34 and 168 g CO₂ equivalents per day and per pig on fully slatted floor, straw or sawdust deep litter respectively.In conclusion, pollutant gas emissions from rearing of weaned pig seem lower with fully slatted plastic floor system than with deep litter systems.     

Volatile organic compound emissions from straw-amended agricultural soils and their relations to bacterial communities: A laboratory study

A laboratory study was conducted to investigate volatile organic compound(VOC) emissions from agricultural soil amended with wheat straw and their associations with bacterial communities for a period of 66 days under non-flooded and flooded conditions. The results indicated that ethene, propene, ethanol, i-propanol, 2-butanol, acetaldehyde, acetone,2-butanone, 2-pentanone and acetophenone were the 10 most abundant VOCs, making up over 90% of the total VOCs released under the two water conditions. The mean emission of total VOCs from the amended soils under the non-flooded condition(5924 ng C/(kg·hr)) was significantly higher than that under the flooded condition(2211 ng C/(kg·hr)). One "peak emission window" appeared at days 0–44 or 4–44, and over 95% of the VOC emissions occurred during the first month under the two water conditions. Bacterial community analysis using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE) showed that a relative increase of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and γ-Proteobacteria but a relative decrease of Acidobacteria with time were observed after straw amendments under the two water conditions. Cluster analysis revealed that the soil bacterial communities changed greatly with incubation time, which was in line with the variation of the VOC emissions over the experimental period. Most of the above top 10 VOCs correlated positively with the predominant bacterial species of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobia but correlated negatively with the dominant bacterial species of Actinobacteria under the two water conditions. These results suggested that bacterial communities might play an important role in VOC emissions from straw-amended agricultural soils.     

规模化人工湿地的温室气体释放通量

基于规模化人工湿地工程——武河湿地的野外原位监测试验,采用静态箱-气相色谱法研究了人工湿地中温室气体(N₂O、CH₄和CO₂)释放特征与规律. 结果表明,武河湿地工程的N₂O和CH₄平均释放通量分别为14.35和35.54 mg/(m2·d),表现为N₂O、CH₄的释放源,但其释放通量低于城市污水处理厂;湿地(主要包括水体和土壤生物呼吸)的CO₂平均释放通量为2 889.4 mg/(m2·d). 人工湿地沿程N₂O、CH₄和CO₂释放特征有所不同,平均释放通量呈先升后降规律,在布水渠处N₂O释放通量最大,为51.92 mg/(m2·d);而6#溢流堰处CH₄释放通量最大,为182.03 mg/(m2·d). 人工湿地中温室气体释放亦具有明显的季节变化规律,表现为春夏季高于秋冬季.      

Carbon footprint in corporate logistics operations in the food sector

Global warming is negatively affecting the environment of the planet. This situation has led to the development of international standards, such as the International Organisation for Standardization's DIS 14064‐1 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard, both of which measure corporate carbon footprints. These standards provide guidelines that can be applied to different organizational sectors. However, these are not sufficient for controlling the reduction of carbon emissions, because although they propose the use of indicators, they do not explicitly define them. In addition, in the case of emissions from wastewater treatment, they only suggest that the emissions associated with this process be considered. In the present study, an eight‐step, unified methodology based on these two international standards is proposed, focusing on direct emissions. Moreover, the step‐by‐step to data collection, calculations, and the required indicators to control the emissions are defined. The first scope considers direct emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company. Methane generation measurement from wastewater treatment has been included in the methodology within Scope 1, as it is the second most polluting gas after carbon dioxide, both of which give rise to global warming. The proposed methodology was tested as a case study in one of the most important companies in the food sector in Colombia.     

Local governance of greenhouse gas emissions from air travel

Global greenhouse gas emissions from air travel (GHG-A) are on the rise, and projections point towards a rapid growth in the coming decades. This study aims to examine how local government (cities), addresses GHG-A in their Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP). To fulfil this aim, over 200 SEAPs were analysed focusing on three issues: (1) Treatment of GHG-A in local emissions inventories; (2) Policy initiatives within this domain; and (3) The cities’ perceptions of the conflicts of interests. Results showed that more than half of the cities acknowledge the challenge of GHG-A, around one third include GHG-A in their emissions inventories, and more than one quarter have initiated policy interventions. To categorise these interventions, we have added a mode ‘governing by agenda setting’ to an existing analytical framework, ‘Modes of governing’. With their authority limited to the local setting, this mode of governing is a common channel for cities to push changes at higher levels.

环渤海河流COD入海通量及其对渤海海域COD总量的贡献

于2013年8月~2014年10月,分季节对环渤海36条入海河流进行了4次调查采样,核算其COD入海通量,并评估其对渤海水质的影响.结果表明,大部分河流都受到了严重污染(COD为地表IV类),但污染最重的河流并不是COD入海通量最大的河流,COD的最大值和COD入海通量的最大值不具有一致性;环渤海河流排入渤海的COD_Cr的年入海通量最大(606万t),其次是酸性COD_Mn的入海通量(62万t),碱性COD_Mn最小,为53万t;环渤海河流在丰水期COD的入海通量约占全年的68%,其次是平水期(28%),枯水期最小(4%);整个渤海海域的碱性COD_Mn总量为239万t,其中环渤海河流输入约占25%.
