Treatment of tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation

Treatment of tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation with low cell current(≤1A)and soluble electrodes(mild steel electrodes and aluminum electrodes)was studied.Compared with aluminum electrodes,mild steel electrodes were more effective for the removal of sulfide,with a removal efficiency of over 90%.But during the treatment process,black color precipitate typical to iron(Ⅱ)sulfides was produced.While aluminum electrodes were effective to eliminate the colority of the effluent,the removal efficiency of sulfide was lower than 12%.The mechanisms of the removal of chemical oxygen demand,ammonia,total organic carbon,sulfide and colority with the two soluble electrodes(mild steel and aluminum electrodes)were discussed in detail.In order to exert the predominance of diffenent types of electrodes,the tannery wastewater was treated using mild steel electrodes first followed by the filter and finally by the aluminum electrodes,the elimination rates of chemical oxygen demand,ammonia,total organic carbon,sulfide and colority were 68.0%,43.1%,55.1%,96.7% and 84.3%,respectively,with the initial concentrations 2413.1 mg/L,223.4 mg/L,1000.4 mg/L,112.3 mg/L and 256 dilution times,respectively.The absorbance spectra and energy consumption during electrocoagulation process were also discussed.     

富砷地热废水排放的水环境效应——以西藏羊八井热田为例

西藏羊八井热田是我国目前唯一用于地热发电的高温热田,地热电厂产生的高砷废水直接排入了藏布曲(河)——热田内最主要的地表水体。通过地热废水、藏布曲(河)河水、羊八井河水和藏布曲南溪水的砷含量的对比,阐明了地热废水排放与其他水体汇入对藏布曲河水砷含量变化的影响。地热废水中的砷在排入藏布曲后受到了河水稀释作用与河床沉积物吸附作用的影响。计算了藏布曲不同河段内砷的综合衰减系数,并与河床沉积物对砷的吸附分配系数进行了对比,发现二者的拟合曲线符合指数关系。这表明随着河床沉积物吸附作用的加强,河水中砷的天然衰减将相应呈指数形式增加。     

Microbial community structure and dynamics of starch-fed and glucose-fed chemostats during two years of continuous operation

The microbial community structures of two mesophilic anaerobic chemostats, one fed with glucose, the other with starch as sole carbon sources, were studied at various dilution rates (0.05–0.25 d^–1 for glucose and 0.025–0.1 d^–1 for starch) during two years continuous operation. In the glucose-fed chemostat, the aceticlastic methanogen Methanosaeta spp. and hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanoculleus spp. predominated at low dilution rates, whereas Methanosaeta spp. and the hydrogenotrophic Methanobacterium spp. predominated together when dilution rates were greater than 0.1 d^–1. Bacteria affiliated with the phyla Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes, and Actinobacteria predominated at dilution rates of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 d^–1, respectively, while Firmicutes predominated at higher dilution rates (0.2 and 0.25 d^–1). In the starch-fed chemostat, the aceticlastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens coexisted at all dilution rates. Although bacteria belonging to only two phyla were mainly responsible for starch degradation (Spirochaetes at the dilution rate of 0.08 d^–1 and Firmicutes at other dilution rates), different bacterial genera were identified at different dilution rates. With the exception of Archaea in the glucose-fed chemostat, the band patterns revealed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the microbial communities in the two chemostats displayed marked changes during long-term operation at a constant dilution rate. The bacterial community changed with changes in the dilution rate, and was erratic during longterm operation in both glucose-fed and starch-fed chemostats.

浅水海湾排污扩散器初始稀释度的计算

流速和水深是影响浅水型海湾扩散器初始稀释能力的主要环境因素,其长时间序列的实测资料在现实中通常很难得到,而平面二维水动力模型的引入可为初始稀释度的计算提供必要和准确的水动力要素。通过建立二维水动力模型模拟受纳海域的流场,利用实测水文资料进行模型的率定和验证,模拟设计水文条件下附近水域的流场,然后提取排污口处的水深、流速和流向的时间序列,再利用近区模型计算任一时刻的初始稀释度,最后进行累积频率分析得到设计保证率下的初始稀释度。将该方法应用于杭州湾某排污扩散器初始稀释能力的评估,研究表明,利用远区模型为扩散器近区模拟提供环境水文要素,弥补了实际工程计算中缺乏实测水文资料的不足,并大大提高了近区模拟的计算精度。     

基于保护地下水的北京市土壤通用筛选值推导

分别采用三相平衡耦合地下水稀释模型(以下称方法1)和SESOIL耦合地下水稀释模型(以下称方法2)对北京市不同水文地质条件(永定河山前冲洪积扇顶部区域、中上部区域和下部区域)下27种VOCs(挥发性有机污染物)、31种SVOCs(半挥发性有机污染物)、11种农药/PCBs(多氯联苯)及二英基于保护地下水的土壤通用筛选值进行推导. 结果表明,下部区域土壤通用筛选值最保守,顶部区域次之,中上部区域最宽松. 采用方法1推导的中上部区域土壤通用筛选值分别是顶部区域和下部区域的1.1~1.4、9.9~34.9倍,顶部区域土壤通用筛选值是下部的10.7~24.9倍;采用方法2推导的中上部区域土壤通用筛选值是下部区域的9.8~49.9倍. 对于有连续非饱和带弱水层的中上部区域及下部区域,方法2推导的结果较方法1宽松. 其中,PAHs(多环芳烃)、PCBs、二英、多数农药及酯类等高K_oc(有机碳-水分配系数)污染物均难以穿透清洁非饱和土壤进入地下水;而对于VOCs、酚类等低K_oc污染物,方法2推导的中上部区域土壤通用筛选值普遍是方法1的4.3~18.4倍,下部区域为方法1的3.0~24.6倍. 考虑到土壤通用筛选值应具有风险筛选功能及一定保守性,建议各种污染物以顶部区域方法1推导结果及中上部区域和下部区域方法2推导结果中最保守的值作为北京市基于保护地下水的土壤通用筛选值.

扇形水幕抑制丙烷气体扩散的数值模拟

由于丙烷气体具有易燃易爆的危险性,不宜采用试验研究.二氧化碳与丙烷在标准状况下密度相当,同属于重气,因此,在研究中拟用二氧化碳代替丙烷.首先利用Fluent对扇形水幕抑制二氧化碳的扩散进行了数值模拟,模拟所设定的参数均与试验相同,在与试验数据进行对比后验证了Fluent模拟重气扩散的有效性及可行性.然后利用Fluent对水幕抑制丙烷扩散进行了数值模拟,从模拟过程中得出,水幕产生的阻挡作用、机械湍流作用及造成的空气卷吸作用对丙烷的扩散起到很好的抑制效果.通过设置不同水幕压力和泄漏源与水幕之间的距离,对其影响扇形水幕抑制丙烷扩散的效果进行了数值模拟,结果表明扇形水幕压力越大抑制效果越好、水幕距泄漏源距离越近抑制效果越好.
