封闭式城市生活垃圾填埋场向大气释放汞的途径

利用自动测汞仪和动力学通量箱技术,对武汉市某生活垃圾填埋场封闭的扩建部分向大气释放汞的途径进行了研究.结果发现,封闭式垃圾填埋场释放汞的途径主要是通过地表,而排气筒的释放很小.观测期间地表汞的释放强度平均为(192.5±245.3)ng·(m²·h)^-1,比世界背景区域高出1～2个数量级.释放过程具有明显的昼夜变化规律,白天高于夜间,并在午间达到峰值.光照强度与汞释放通量间的相关性最高,达到0.77,说明Hg(Ⅱ)的光致还原作用是挥发态Hg0生成的主要途径.垃圾填埋场排气筒释放的气体中Hg0的平均浓度为7.0～68.9 ng.m^-3,远低于运行中的垃圾填埋场,并且流速也很小.

Pathways of Mercury Emissions to Atmosphere from Closed Municipal Landfills

Using the automated mercury vapor analyzer and dynamic flux chamber (DFC) method, the pathways of mercury emissions to atmosphere were measured at a closed landfill in Wuhan, China. The results show that the mainly pathway is by the surface cover, and emissions from vent pipes is negligible. Average Hg fluxes during the observation period was (192.5 +/- 245.3) ng x (m2 x h)(-1), which was 1 - 2 orders of magnitude greater than that from background zone. Hg flux exhibited a clearly diurnal pattern, reaching the maximum near midday and the lowest during night. Solar radiation was the environmental factor that has highest relationship with Hg flux, with coefficient of 0.77, this indicated that photo-reduction of Hg(II) being a prominent process in the production of volatile elemental mercury (Hg(0)). Mercury concentrations in landfill gas (LFG) at different vent pipes averaged from 7.0 - 68.9 ng x m(-3), which was much lower than that of operational landfills, and the flow rate of landfill gas was very slow.
