纳米TiO2/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂对高浓度氨氮吹脱效率的协同强化机制研究

为了强化煤化工废水中高浓度氨氮(500~7000mg/L)的吹脱去除效率,进一步减少投碱量,制备了一种纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂,并对其稳定性、促脱效率及强化机理进行了研究.结果表明,在有机组分质量分数6.0%,5nm TiO₂固含量0.4%,超声分散30min时,纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂性价比最好.在纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂投加量为7.5mL/L时,氨氮吹脱率便可以达到95.14%,且在任何pH值条件下投加纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂,氨氮吹脱率均能提高17.02%~32.46%.与直接吹脱法相比,投加纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂吹脱40min,原水pH=10时的氨氮吹脱率便已高于直接吹脱法pH=11.5时的氨氮吹脱率,极大降低了碱耗量.进一步对纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂作用机理研究发现,纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂能极大的降低气液相间表面张力,从而降低传质过程中的液膜阻力,减小气泡尺寸,增大传质接触面积,加快氨气的逸出;同时,在吹脱过程中纳米TiO₂/ZJ-01复合相促脱剂能够增强界面湍动及对流现象,加快气泡液膜表面部分更新,减少有效传质边界层厚度,从而降低氨氮传质阻力,强化了气液间传质的进行.

Emissions of ammonia and greenhouse gases during combined pre-composting and vermicomposting of duck manure

Combined pre-composting and vermicomposting has shown potential for reclamation of solid wastes, which is a significant source of ammonia (NH₃), and greenhouse gases (GHG), including nitrous oxide (N₂O), methane (CH₄), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Earthworms and amendments may both affect physico-chemical characteristics that control gas-producing processes, and thus affect NH₃ and GHG emissions. Here, we used two-way ANOVA to test the effects of addition of reed straw and combined addition of reed straw and zeolite on NH₃ and GHG emissions during pre-composting of duck manure, either with or without a follow-up phase of vermicomposting. Results showed that cumulative N₂O, CH₄, and CO₂ emissions during pre-composting and vermicomposting ranged from 92.8, 5.8, and 260.6 mg kg^?1 DM to 274.2, 30.4, and 314.0 mg kg^?1 DM, respectively. Earthworms and amendments significantly decreased N₂O and CH₄ emissions. Emission of CO₂ was not affected by earthworms, but increased in responses to addition of reed straw. Cumulative NH₃ emission ranged from 3.0 to 8.1 g kg^?1 DM, and was significantly decreased by reed straw and zeolite addition. In conclusion, combined pre-composting and vermicomposting with reed straw and zeolite addition would be strongly recommended in mitigating emissions of N₂O, CH₄, and NH₃ from duck manure. Moreover, this method also provides nutrient-rich products that can be used as a fertilizer.     

A GIS-based decision support system for regional eco-security assessment and its application on the Tibetan Plateau

Regional eco-security assessment is an intricate, challenging task. In previous studies, the integration of eco-environmental models and geographical information systems (GIS) usually takes two approaches: loose coupling and tight coupling. However, the present study used a full coupling approach to develop a GIS-based regional eco-security assessment decision support system (ESDSS). This was achieved by merging the pressure-state-response (PSR) model and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) into ArcGIS 9 as a dynamic link library (DLL) using ArcObjects in ArcGIS and Visual Basic for Applications. Such an approach makes it easy to capitalize on the GIS visualization and spatial analysis functions, thereby significantly supporting the dynamic estimation of regional eco-security. A case study is presented for the Tibetan Plateau, known as the world’s “third pole” after the Arctic and Antarctic. Results verified the usefulness and feasibility of the developed method. As a useful tool, the ESDSS can also help local managers to make scientifically-based and effective decisions about Tibetan eco-environmental protection and land use.

京津冀电子废弃物回收利用潜力预测及环境效益评估

电子废弃物是京津冀区域重要的"城市矿山"之一,全面系统地评估该地区电子废弃物产生量及其回收利用的资源环境效益,可为该区域通过电子废弃物协同精准管理来解决资源环境问题提供科学依据和方法支撑.基于改进的保有量系数法、物料系数法、市场价值法及污染系数法,通过估算废弃电视、电冰箱、空调、洗衣机和计算机5类主要产品（"四机一脑" ）的产生量、资源可回收量、资源回收价值及资源环境效益等,对2010~2025年京津冀电子废弃物的回收利用潜力及环境效益进行预测和评估.结果表明,2010~2025年京津冀废弃"四机一脑"产生量不断增加,2010~2018年期间年均增长率为7.75%,此后预计将以年均3.07%的速度递增,2025年废弃"四机一脑"总量将达到1861.74万台,可回收普通金属27.19万t、塑料12.75万t和贵金属19.45 t.2019~2025年期间,废弃空调和计算机的资源回收经济价值较高,二者之和占年回收总价值的77.22%;铜和金的回收经济价值贡献比分别为43.37%和19.82%,显著高于其他资源.预计2025年资源回收总价值达50.24亿元,是2010年的3.13倍,其中普通金属、贵金属和塑料的回收价值分别为28.68、13.27和8.29亿元.若2025年产生的电子废弃物全部被规范回收利用,能够减少原生矿石开采913.23万t,减少标准煤利用122.71万t,减少废水、废气、废渣及重金属排放量分别为1231.19、473.89、785.10和6.08万t,减少温室气体排放32.92万t （以CO₂-eq计）.废弃空调的回收利用潜力最大,但资质处理企业废弃空调回收处理能力亟待提高.为高效回收利用京津冀电子废弃物,未来应尽快完善基金补贴制度,加强对非正规拆解部门的监督与管理,通过建立区域信息共享平台,实现电子废弃物全生命周期区域协同管理.     

Bioaccumulation and human health risk assessment of trace metals in the freshwater mussel Cristaria plicata in Dongting Lake, China

Trace metal contamination in water and bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms are human health risks of increasing concern. However, the bioaccumulation of trace metals in the organs of the mussel Cristaria plicata in Dongting Lake, China and the human health risks of mussel consumption are largely unknown. We investigated the concentrations of 15 trace metals and metalloids in surface water, sediments, and C. plicata organs (foot, gill, mantle, and visceral mass) and quantified the bioaccumulation and human health risk of these trace metals in specimens collected from Dongting Lake. The concentrations of most metals in surface water exceeded previously published background values. In contrast, the concentrations of most metals in sediments showed a decreasing trend. Overall, the metal concentrations in the gill and visceral masses of C. plicata were higher than those in the foot and mantle, and higher bioaccumulation capacities were observed for essential metals than for nonessential metals. The mean concentrations of the trace elements Zn, Pb, Cd, As, Cu, and Cr in C. plicata foot samples were lower than the threshold values established by international and Chinese organizations. The estimated daily intake (EDI) values of the essential metal Mn in C. plicata foot was higher than the recommended tolerable daily intake (TDI) values for juveniles. Only Mn for juveniles and As for both juveniles and adults may pose noncarcinogenic health risks through foot consumption. The hazard index (HI) values for adults and juveniles were higher than 1, suggesting significant risks of noncarcinogenic effects to humans by exposure to multiple metals.
