Effect of mass fraction of long flame coal on swelling pressure and microstructures of cokes

Long flame coal are abundant and widely distributed in China, but the resource utilization is quite low, the production efficiency is not high. Stamp-charging coke making technology can bend some long flame coal, which can reduce production cost and expand the coking coal resources. The long flame coal of different mass fraction is added into prime coking coal including fat coal from Longhu, 1/3 coking coal from Xinjian and coking coal from Didao in experiment. The swelling pressure is tested on-line detection using pressure sensor in coke making process, and the pores are observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that, the swelling pressure first increase and then decrease with the temperature increased and the maximum swelling pressure reduces gradually with mass fraction of the Long flame coal from Shenmu increased in coke making process. The SEM images of resultant coke display that the coke get more and more loose and the amount of pores is increased with mass fraction of the long flame coal from Shenmu increased. The amount pores and the pore diameter both is minimum for coking coal from Didao as prime coking coal under the same fraction of long flame coal.

Effects of atamp-charging coke making on strength and high temperature thermal properties of coke

The stamp-charging coke making process has some advantages of improving the operation environment, decreasing fugitive emission, higher gas collection efficiency as well as less environmental pollution. This article describes the different structure strength and high temperature thermal properties of 4 different types of coke manufactured using a conventional coking process and the stamp-charging coke making process. The 4 kinds of cokes were prepared from the mixture of five feed coals blended by the petrography blending method. The results showed that the structure strength indices of coke prepared using the stamp-charging coke method increase sharply. In contrast with conventional coking process, the stamp-charging process improved the coke strength after reaction but had little impact on the coke reactivity index.

典型焦化厂大气挥发性有机物排放表征分析

焦化行业是我国重要工业类别,但因其工艺过程复杂,所以VOCs（挥发性有机物）排放特征尚不明确.以典型机械焦化厂为研究对象,对焦炉烟囱、推焦、装煤和焦炉顶等不同排放环节进行采样,并利用GC/MS（气相色谱质谱联用仪）进行多物种分析,并对焦化厂排放VOCs的OFP（生成O₃的潜势）进行探索性研究.结果表明:①焦化厂排放的VOCs包括烷烃、烯烃、炔烃、芳香烃、卤代烃和含氧VOCs等六大类,共90多个物种.②不同环节排放的ρ（VOCs）差异显著,其中,焦炉烟囱ρ（VOCs）排放量（87.1 mg/m3）最大,其次为推焦（4.0 mg/m3）、装煤（3.3 mg/m3）和焦炉顶（1.1 mg/m3）.③不同环节排放的VOCs种类不同,但均以烷烃和烯烃为主,其中,焦炉烟囱排放的烯烃最多（占比达66%）,装煤和推焦排放的则以烷烃为主（占比分别为42%和36%）,焦炉顶排放的烷烃和烯烃相近（占比分别为31%和29%）.④基于排放特征和最大增量反应活性法研究发现,焦炉烟囱是焦化厂VOCs减排的重点环节,烯烃是重点减排的物种,特别是乙烯、丙烯、丁烯和1,3-丁二烯等,但乙醛、苯、甲苯等也不容忽视.研究显示,以乙烷/丙烷/乙烯（三者质量浓度之比）为指标,可明显区分焦炉烟囱、推焦、装煤和焦炉顶等不同环节的VOCs排放.      

焦炉烟气中二（口恶）英类物质排放水平研究

二噁英和类二噁英多氯联苯属于《关于持久性有机污染物的斯德哥尔摩公约》规定的非故意产生的持久性有机物,统称为二噁英类物质.焦化生产过程中具备二噁英类物质生成所需的前体物、温度、催化剂等条件,但目前国内外对焦化行业焦炉烟气二噁英类物质排放研究仍属空白,为进一步明确焦化行业排放水平和影响因素,针对性地提出行业减排和控制措施,利用高分辨气相色谱-高分辨质谱法对4个不同规模的典型焦化企业焦炉烟气中二噁英类物质排放情况进行现场采样和实验室分析.结果表明,二噁英类物质毒性当量(以WHO-TEQ计)范围为3.9~30.0 pg·m-3,处于较低水平,检出较多的PCDD/Fs同系物主要是高氯代的.另外,烟气中此类物质的排放量与焦化生产工艺关系密切,捣鼓炼焦、较高的炭化室高度有利于减少二噁英类物质的排放.     

炼焦过程中单环芳烃排放及源特征

通过不锈钢采样罐采样和液氮预浓缩/气相色谱/质谱系统分析,研究我国山西某地的土法炼焦和机械炼焦生产过程中单环芳烃(MAHs)的排放情况.炼焦过程MAHs以苯、甲苯、(间+对)-二甲苯为主要成分,苯和总MAHs浓度在土法炼焦烟气中最高达3421.0μg/m3和4865.9μg/m³,在机械炼焦无组织排放气体和烟气中分别为548.7μg/m³、1054.8μg/m³和1376.4μg/m³、1819.4μg/m³.焦炭生产过程中MAHs浓度变化显著:土法炼焦过程MAHs前期释放浓度高于后期;机械炼焦无组织排放MAHs在装煤和出焦时明显升高;而机械炼焦烟气中则是装煤时最高,出焦时最低.苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯(BTEX)散点图和相关性分析显示机械炼焦释放MAHs主要来自煤的高温分解,而土法炼焦中MAHs释放则可能除焦煤不完全燃烧释放外还受别的因素影响.苯/甲苯/乙苯/二甲苯比值(B/T/E/X)特别是苯/乙苯(B/E)值显示炼焦释放的MAHs具有不同于其它来源的特征.     

电厂烟气注入采空区封存的可行性

为了考察将电厂烟气注入采空区实现防火与气体封存的可行性,采用自制的煤大样量吸附装置测定了常温、常压条件下塔山烟煤对各种烟气成分的饱和吸附量,并对烟煤在空气和烟气氛围下对氧气的吸附行为进行了研究. 结果表明:将电厂烟气注入井下采空区,每t煤可封存约1.20 m3的CO₂,烟气中SO₂和NO₂可全部被烟煤封存;在物理吸附阶段,烟煤对CO₂的吸附量分别为对N₂吸附量的13倍,对O₂吸附量的41倍;在常温、常压条件下,烟煤对N₂和CO₂的吸附为物理吸附,12 h已基本达到饱和状态,但烟煤对O₂的吸附随着时间的增加逐渐由物理吸附转变为化学吸附,因此在较长时间内未能达到平衡状态. 通过不同气体氛围下烟煤吸附氧气量的数据分析发现,将电厂烟气注入到采空区,因烟煤对氧气的吸附量降低了29%,可有效抑制其自燃反应的进行. 研究显示,电厂烟气注入采空区可实现节能减排和灾害治理的统一.      

煤焦化过程中颗粒物和二氧化硫的释放

选择山西省某地的四个土焦炉、两个热回收焦炉和两个机焦炉开展焦炉顶空气和烟气中颗粒物和SO2研究。结果显示在正常工作条件下热回收焦炉顶空气中颗粒物和SO2浓度最小,其次是机焦炉,土焦炉顶最高。机焦炉和热回收焦炉顶污染物浓度在出焦和装煤时明显升高。土焦炉烟气中颗粒物排放浓度和排放速率明显高于热回收焦炉和机焦炉;各种炉型烟气中SO2浓度差别较小,排放速率以机焦炉最高;土焦炉的烟尘和二氧化硫吨焦排放量最高,而机焦炉和热回收焦炉由于环保设备的使用显著降低。生产过程污染物释放显示机焦炉和热回收焦炉的颗粒物和SO2释放主要来源于焦化过程和熄焦过程。由吨焦排放量估计炼焦烟尘和二氧化硫对全国的烟尘和二氧化硫排放贡献小于5%,但对山西省的贡献接近15%和30%,控制炼焦污染对当地环境改善具有重要意义。     

超声辐照-活性污泥联合处理焦化废水

选取昆明焦化制气厂的实际焦化废水为处理对象,用水质模型对超声辐照-活性污泥法处理焦化废水中有机物的降解进行了研究.实验结果表明,焦化废水初始浓度、曝气方式和声能密度对焦化废水中COD_Cr的降解效果影响显著.对初始浓度为807mg/L的实际焦化废水,选择空气作为曝气气体,向废水中曝气而不超声时,废水中COD_Cr降解率仅为4.5%;在声能强度为119.4kW/m²条件下,超声时其降解率可达65%;采用超声辐照-活性污泥法联合处理焦化废水COD_Cr,与单独采用活性污泥法相比,废水的COD_Cr降解率可由单独采用活性污泥法的45%提高至81%;经超声波预处理后的废水,加活性污泥后,其耗氧速率有明显的降低,说明经超声波预处理后的焦化废水对生物无毒性.     

我国常规焦炉危险废物产生和利用处置现状及对策

我国是世界上最大的焦炭生产国和供应商,以常规焦炉炼焦工艺为主,常规焦炉会排放气体、液体和固体污染物.常规焦炉危险废物的产生现状是种类多、产生工艺节点多样、产生量大、污染物种类繁杂、对生态环境和人体的潜在危害大.对高附加值的高温煤焦油采取深加工的方式生产多种化工原料,脱硫废液的利用方式是提取单品精盐和制酸,其他低附加值的常规焦炉危险废物回配煤单元炼焦.当前,我国常规焦炉危险废物利用处置存在3个问题:①部分高温煤焦油深加工技术不属于清洁生产技术;②脱硫废液提取的盐缺乏污染控制标准或技术规范,脱硫废液制酸设备稳定运行难度较大;③危险废物回配煤单元可能引起炼焦产品质量下降和环境风险增大.针对我国常规焦炉危险废物产生和利用处置存在的问题,建议从3个方面提高炼焦危险废物利用率和加强安全处置:①遵循《国家危险废物名录》中"危险废物豁免管理清单"利用环节豁免条件,采取先进的清洁生产技术,促进高温煤焦油利用;②制定以脱硫废液为原料提取盐的污染控制标准或技术规范,将小规模企业产生的脱硫废液"点对点"集中输送至专门利用脱硫废液制酸的企业生产硫酸,开发易于推广、平稳高效连续运行和自动化控制的提盐和制酸技术,提高脱硫废液利用水平;③常规焦炉危险废物返回配煤工序炼焦时应精准管控,确保炼焦产品质量,防范环境风险.      

Exposure measurement, risk assessment and source identification for exposure of traffic assistants to particle-bound PAHs in Tianjin, China

To investigate the levels of exposure to particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH) and to estimate the risk these levels pose to traffic assistants(TAs) in Tianjin(a megacity in North China), a measurement campaign(33 all-day exposure samples, 25 occupational-exposure samples and 10 indoor samples) was conducted to characterize the TAs' exposure to PAHs, assess the cancer risk and identify the potential sources of exposure. The average total exposure concentration of 14 PAHs was approximately 2871 ± 928 ng/m3(on-duty), and 1622 ± 457 ng/m3(all-day). The indoor PAHs level was 1257 ± 107 ng/m3. After 8000 Monte Carlo simulations, the cancer risk resulting from exposure to PAHs was found to be approximately 1.05 × 10-4. A multivariate analysis was applied to identify the potential sources, and the results showed that, in addition to vehicle exhaust, coal combustion and cooking fumes were also another two important contributors to personal PAH exposure. The diagnostic ratios of PAH compounds agree with the source apportionment results derived from principal component analysis.

Climate impact from peat utilisation in Sweden

The climate impact from the useof peat for energy production in Sweden hasbeen evaluated in terms of contribution toatmospheric radiative forcing. This wasdone by attempting to answer the question`What will be the climate impact if onewould use 1 m<sup>2</sup> of mire for peatextraction during 20 years?'. Two differentmethods of after-treatment were studied:afforestation and restoration of wetland.The climate impact from a peatland –wetland scenario and a peatland –forestation – bioenergy scenario wascompared to the climate impact from coal,natural gas and forest residues.Sensitivity analyses were performed toevaluate which parameters that areimportant to take into consideration inorder to minimize the climate impact frompeat utilisation. In a `multiple generationscenario' we investigate the climate impactif 1 Mega Joule (MJ) of energy is produced every yearfor 300 years from peat compared to otherenergy sources.The main conclusions from the study are:?The accumulated radiative forcing from the peatland – forestation – bioenergy scenario over a long time perspective (300 years) is estimated to be 1.35 mJ/m²/m² extraction area assuming a medium-high forest growth rate and medium original methane emissions from the virgin mire. This is below the corresponding values for coal 3.13 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area and natural gas, 1.71 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area, but higher than the value for forest residues, 0.42 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area. A `best-best-case' scenario, i.e. with high forest growth rate combined with high `avoided' methane (CH₄) emissions, will generate accumulated radiative forcing comparable to using forest residues for energy production. A `worst-worst-case' scenario, with low growth rate and low `avoided' CH₄ emissions, will generate radiative forcing somewhere in between natural gas and coal.?The accumulated radiative forcing from the peatland – wetland scenario over a 300-year perspective is estimated to be 0.73 –1.80 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area depending on the assumed carbon (C) uptake rates for the wetland and assuming a medium-high methane emissions from a restored wetland. The corresponding values for coal is 1.88 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area, for natural gas 1.06 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area and for forest residues 0.10 mJ/ m²/ m² extraction area. A `best-best-case' scenario (i.e. with high carbon dioxide CO<sub>2</sub>-uptake combined with high `avoided' CH₄ emissions and low methane emissions from the restored wetland) will generate accumulated radiative forcing that decreases and reaches zero after 240 years. A `worst-worst-case' (i.e. with low CO<sub>2</sub>-uptake combined with low `avoided' CH₄ emissions and high methane emissions from the restored wetland) will generate radiative forcing higher than coal over the entire time period.?The accumulated radiative forcing in the `multiple generations' – scenarios over a 300-year perspective producing 1 MJ/year is estimated to be 0.089 mJ/ m<sup>2</sup> for the scenario `Peat forestation – bioenergy', 0.097 mJ/ m² for the scenario `Peat wetland with high CO<sub>2</sub>-uptake' and 0.140 mJ/ m<sup>2</sup> for the scenario `Peat wetland with low CO₂-uptake'. Corresponding values for coal is 0.160 mJ/ m², for natural gas 0.083 mJ/ m² and for forest residues 0.015 mJ/ m². Using a longer time perspective than 300 years will result in lower accumulated radiative forcing from the scenario `Peat wetland with high CO₂-uptake'. This is due to the negative instantaneous forcing that occurs after 200 years for each added generation.?It is important to consider CH₄ emissions from the virgin mire when choosing mires for utilization. Low original methane emissions give significantly higher total climate impact than high original emissions do.?Afforestation on areas previously used for peat extraction should be performed in a way that gives a high forest growth rate, both for the extraction area and the surrounding area. A high forest growth rate gives lower climate impact than a low forest growth rate.?There are great uncertainties related to the data used for emissions and uptake of greenhouse gases in restored wetlands. The mechanisms affecting these emissions and uptake should be studied further.     

Denitrification and biofilm growth in a pilot-scale biofilter packed with suspended carriers for biological nitrogen removal from secondary effluent

Tertiary denitrification is an effective method for nitrogen removal from wastewater. A pilot-scale biofilter packed with suspended carriers was operated for tertiary denitrification with ethanol as the organic carbon source. Long-term performance, biokinetics of denitrification and biofilm growth were evaluated under filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr. The pilot-scale biofilter removed nitrate from the secondary effluent effectively, and the nitrate nitrogen(NO_3-N) removal percentage was 82%, 78% and 55% at the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. At the filtration velocities of 6 and 10 m/hr, the nitrate removal loading rate increased with increasing influent nitrate loading rates, while at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr, the removal loading rate and the influent loading rate were uncorrelated.During denitrification, the ratio of consumed chemical oxygen demand to removed NO_3-N was 3.99–4.52 mg/mg. Under the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, the maximum denitrification rate was 3.12, 4.86 and 4.42 g N/(m~2·day), the half-saturation constant was 2.61, 1.05 and 1.17 mg/L, and the half-order coefficient was 0.22, 0.32 and 0.24(mg/L)1/2/min,respectively. The biofilm biomass increased with increasing filtration velocity and was 2845,5124 and 7324 mg VSS/m~2 at filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. The highest biofilm density was 44 mg/cm~3 at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr. Due to the low influent loading rate, biofilm biomass and thickness were lowest at the filtration velocity of 6 m/hr.

重力出流式膜生物反应器的膜通量及膜污染控制研究

采用新型的重力出流式膜生物反应器(MBR)处理生活污水和垃圾渗滤液,考察了其在长期运行过程中膜通量的变化规律及其影响因素.结果表明,该MBR能够在较低液位水头(8.5～15.0 kPa)的作用下连续出水,并获得较高的膜通量.处理生活污水时,平均膜通量为11.2 L·(m²·h)^-1;处理垃圾渗滤液时,平均膜通量为6.4 L·(m²·h)^-1.研究发现,污泥浓度对膜通量影响大小与曝气强度有关.当曝气强度小于400 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,膜通量随着污泥浓度的升高显著下降;当曝气强度大于400 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,膜通量几乎不受污泥浓度和曝气强度的影响.对膜的化学清洗试验表明,NaOH+NaClO溶液清洗效果最佳,膜通量可恢复至初始通量的85%以上.进一步研究表明,混合液中高浓度的溶解性胞外聚合物是MBR处理垃圾渗滤液时膜通量较低的主要原因.     

焦化废水水质组成及其环境学与生物学特性分析

Seasonal variation and source apportionment of organic and inorganic compounds in PM2.5 and PM10 particulates in Beijing, China

The distribution and source of the solvent-extractable organic and inorganic components in PM 2.5(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 2.5 microns),and PM 10(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 10 microns) fractions of airborne particles were studied weekly from September 2006 to August 2007 in Beijing.The extracted organic and inorganic compounds identified in both particle size ranges consisted of n-alkanes,PAHs(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons),fatty acids and water soluble ions.The potential emission sources of these organic compounds were reconciled by combining the values of n-alkane carbon preference index(CPI),%waxC n,selected diagnostic ratios of PAHs and principal component analysis in both size ranges.The mean cumulative concentrations of n-alkanes reached 1128.65ng/m3 in Beijing,74% of which(i.e.,831.7ng/m3) was in the PM 2.5 fraction,PAHs reached 136.45ng/m3(113.44ng/m3 or 83% in PM 2.5),and fatty acids reached 436.99ng/m3(324.41ng/m3 or 74% in PM 2.5),which resulted in overall enrichment in the fine particles.The average concentrations of SO42-,NO3-,and NH4+ were 21.3±15.2,6.1±1.8,12.5±6.1μg/m3 in PM 2.5,and 25.8±15.5,8.9±2.6,16.9±9.5μg/m3 in PM 10,respectively.These three secondary ions primarily existed as ammonium sulfate((NH4)2SO4),ammonium bisulfate(NH4HSO4) and ammonium nitrate(NH4NO3).The characteristic ratios of PAHs revealed that the primary sources of PAHs were coal combustion,followed by gasoline combustion.The ratios of stearic/palmitic acid indicated the major contribution of vehicle emissions to fatty acids in airborne particles.The major alkane sources were biogenic sources and fossil fuel combustion.The major sources of PAHs were vehicular emission and coal combustion.
