The application of life cycle assessment to design

This paper explores the practical application of life cycle assessment (LCA) to product system development. While life cycle assessment methods have been studied and demonstrated extensively over the last two decades, their application to product design and development has not been critically addressed. Many organizational and operational factors limit the integration of the three LCA components (inventory analysis, impact assessment and improvement assessment) with product development. Design of the product system can be considered a synthesis of individual decisions and choices made by the design team, which ultimately shape the system's environmental profile. The environmental goal of life cycle design is to minimize the aggregate environmental impacts associated with the product system. Appropriate environmental information must be supplied to decision makers throughout each stage of the development process to achieve this goal. LCA can serve as a source of this information, but informational requirements can vary as the design moves from its conceptual phase, where many design choices are possible, to its detailed design and implementation. Streamlined approaches and other tools, such as design checklists, are essential. The practical use of this tool in product development also depends on the nature and complexity of the product system (e.g. new vs. established), the product development cycle (time-to-market constraints), availability of technical and financial resources, and the design approach (integrated vs. serial). These factors will influence the role and scope of LCA in product development. Effective communication and evaluation of environmental information and the integration of this information with cost, performance, cultural and legal criteria will also be critical to the success of design initiatives based on the life cycle framework. An overview of several of these design initiatives will be presented.     

填埋处理场易发的各种环境问题及其对策

固体废弃物的填埋处理法在处理量和处理成本等方面比起其他方法有很强的优势，然而填埋处理场如果得不到正确的运转和管理，将成为新的污染源，易引发地表水和地面水污染、大气污染以及甲烷气体爆炸等环境问题。鉴于上述问题，文中针对上述事例介绍了排气设备、诱引气床等物理和化学方面的防止对策。

渗滤液回灌对填埋垃圾含水率的影响研究

文章通过模拟实验研究了不同的渗滤液回灌频率、回灌量和回灌速率对压实密度不同的垃圾的含水率的影响。研究表明,由于通道流的存在和影响,渗滤液的产生时间提前于填埋垃圾达到其有效贮水率的时间;渗滤液回灌频率越高、回灌量越大、回灌速率越慢、垃圾体温度越低、垃圾压实密度越高,则填埋垃圾的有效贮水率越大、含水率越高。在实施渗滤液回灌操作时,须综合考虑滤液回灌频率、回灌量、回灌速率、垃圾温度和垃圾压实密度等影响因素。     

UV/H-2O-2/草酸铁处理垃圾渗滤液的研究

利用UV（125W）/H2O2/草酸铁处理已经过生化处理的垃圾渗滤液(CODcr为450mg/L)时，反应较佳条件是PH值为4．0及总药剂用量为14mL/L。草酸铁的用量要适当，投加量过少，混凝效果较差，有效光子不能完全转化为化学能，处理效果不理想；投加量过多，溶液形成棕色混浊，使紫外光的吸收降低，造成光散射，降低反应速度。而H2O2的投加量过多，特使铁的络合物更加稳定，H202的分解速率受到限制，投加量过少，效果也会降低。当总药刑用量为14mL/L(其中30％过氧化氢6mL/L，0．1mol/L草酸铁溶液8mL/L时，反应30min后，CODcr去除率可达80％左右，脱色率可达90％以上。     

A strategic design approach to develop sustainable product service systems: examples taken from the ‘environmentally friendly innovation’ Italian prize

The product service systems’ (PSS) sustainability potential is described in the framework of the new types of stakeholder relationships and/or partnerships, producing new convergence of economic interests, and a potential concomitant systemic resources optimization.In this perspective, it is argued that the design competencies should move towards those of the ‘strategic design’, thus introducing the concept of ‘strategic design for sustainability’: the design of an innovation strategy, shifting the business focus from designing (and selling) physical products only, to designing (and selling) a system of products and services which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands, while re-orienting current unsustainable trends in production and consumption practices.Some examples of PSS are presented and discussed using the PSS categories ‘services providing added value to the product life cycle’, ‘services providing final results to customers’, and ‘services providing enabling platforms for customers’. The cases derive from an analysis of the ‘environmental friendly innovation’ yearly endowed prize submissions. The Politecnico di Milano University together with the Bocconi University and Legambiente (an environmental NGO) promotes the initiative in Italy.     

好氧膜生物反应器的硝化性能研究

以含有高浓度氨氮的垃圾渗滤液为对象,针对好氧膜生物反应器的硝化性能进行了研究。结果表明:当进水氨氮<1000mg/L和负荷<1.5kgNH4+-N/m3d时,氨氮去除率保持在80%～99.7%之间,表明好氧MBR具有良好的硝化性能;硝酸菌在进水氨氮浓度>600mg/L时受到了抑制,而亚硝酸菌在进水氨氮浓度>1200mg/L时才受到抑制;在试验过程中,MBR污泥经历了由以异养细菌为主到自养细菌为主的转型过程。以硝化菌为主的污泥具有良好的沉淀性能,污泥的SV和SVI分别稳定在20%～30%之间和40～70mL/g之间。
