混凝与Fenton联用处理垃圾渗滤液的效能及成本

为对混凝/Fenton工艺与Fenton/混凝工艺处理垃圾渗滤液的效果和成本进行比较,分别对年轻渗滤液和老龄渗滤液原液按照混凝/Fenton工艺与Fenton/混凝工艺2种技术路线进行处理。实验结果表明,Fenton试剂对年轻垃圾渗滤液和老龄垃圾渗滤液COD去除率最高的反应条件为pH=3.5、H2O2和Fe2+的摩尔比为6、H2O2和渗滤液原液的COD质量比为3、反应时间4 h;在PAC与渗滤液原液的COD质量比为0.6时,PAC混凝对渗滤液原液的COD去除率最高。在对渗滤液COD去除率最高的Fenton反应和PAC混凝反应条件下,混凝/Fenton工艺对年轻渗滤液和老龄渗滤液的COD去除率分别为90.56%和86.56%;Fenton/混凝工艺对年轻渗滤液和老龄渗滤液的COD去除率分别为89.99%和85.99%,2种技术路线对渗滤液COD的去除率相差不大,但先PAC混凝后Fenton氧化工艺比先Fenton后混凝工艺每t节省62.6元,是更优化的渗滤液处理工艺。     

生物法-人工湿地组合工艺处理小城镇混合污水研究

为适应小城镇污水处理高效、低耗、管理简单的要求,开展了生物法(水解酸化/生物接触氧化)-人工湿地组合工艺(A/BCO-CW)处理小城镇片区混合污水的研究。结果表明,A/BCO系统在停留时间为3～6 h条件下,对悬浮物和有机物有高的去除效率,COD、BOD5和TSS去除率分别达到63.1%、67.7%和66.2%,避免了人工湿地堵塞和提高处理效率,减少了所需湿地面积44%。全年运行结果表明,在0.30～0.59 m/d水力负荷率下,垂直流-表面流-水平潜流人工湿地组合系统对COD、BOD5和TSS平均去除负荷达9.4、5.1和7.2 g/(m2.d)(42%、71.2%和85.2%);COD、BOD5去除速率常数为74.6±12.1 m/y、166±30.5 m/y,这些数值均处于文献中k值范围的高量程内。A/BCO-人工湿地系统对COD、BOD5和TSS具有好的处理效果,出水水质能够稳定达到《地表水环境质量标准》(GB 3838-2002)的IV类水标准,2种处理方法有效组合起来,所开发的低成本、高效率、可持续运行的城镇废水处理组合系统,将会在实际应用尤其是高有机负荷污水处理中发挥良好效用。     

TiO_2/EP光催化降解水体中微污染磺胺嘧啶的研究

制备了膨胀珍珠岩(EP)为载体的TiO2催化剂(TiO2/EP),对使用较为广泛的抗生素磺胺嘧啶(SDZ)进行了光催化降解研究,探讨了TiO2的负载量、溶液的初始浓度、初始pH、无机离子(HCO3-、SO42-和Cl-)和腐殖酸(HA)对SDZ降解效果的影响。结果表明:SDZ的光催化降解符合一级反应动力学方程;当TiO2最佳负载量为20 wt%,SDZ浓度为5 mg/L,pH=6.7,紫外光照射强度为1 000μW/cm2,反应时间为45 min时,SDZ的降解率达到96%;HCO3-在低浓度时能促进SDZ的光催化降解,高浓度时促进作用不明显;SO42-和Cl-对SDZ的光催化降解有轻微的抑制作用;HA对SDZ光催化降解有显著的抑制作用,浓度越高,抑制作用越强。UV-TiO2/EP是一种去除水体中微污染SDZ的有效方法。     

有机改性膨润土的稳定性研究

利用十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(HDTMAB)对膨润土进行有机改性,研究了不同振荡时间、振荡强度、温度、pH以及盐溶液浓度下改性后有机膨润土的稳定性。结果表明,表面活性剂用量为0.6CEC时,改性的膨润土比较稳定。在同一环境因素下,当表面活性剂用量大于0.6CEC时,有机膨润土的稳定性均随着改性剂用量的增加而降低。振荡时间、振荡强度以及反应温度对有机膨润土稳定性影响不明显;酸性条件下会降低有机膨润土的稳定性,而中性、碱性条件下,有机膨润土的稳定性会提高;对于0.6CEC改性的有机膨润土,当NaC l、CaC l2的浓度由0.2 mol/L增加到0.6 mol/L时有机膨润土的稳定性得到了显著的提高,浓度继续增大,稳定性下降。所以当外界NaC l或CaC l2浓度为0.6 mol/L时,0.6CEC改性的有机膨润土相对0.8CEC以及1.0CEC改性的膨润土稳定,可用做废水处理的吸附剂,且无二次污染。     

Carbon/nitrogen ratio as a major factor for predicting the effects of organic wastes on soil bacterial communities assessed by DNA-based molecular techniques

Background, aim, and scope  

Current Australian legislation permits the beneficial application of grease trap waste (GTW) to agricultural soil, viewing it as a beneficial source of organic matter and soil conditioner containing no/low amounts of metals or pathogenic organisms. However, little is known about the influence of GTW on soil bacterial community. A field experiment was established at Menangle in south western Sydney in Australia to quantitatively assess the impacts of different types (GTW CO and GTW CL) and amounts of GTW application on the soil bacterial community and diversity. Furthermore, a municipal solid waste (MSW) compost was simultaneously examined to compare against the other organic wastes. Knowledge about the shifts in microbial community structure and diversity following the applications of organic wastes could help to evaluate the ecological consequences on the soil and thus to develop sound regulatory guidelines for the beneficial reuse of organic wastes in agricultural lands.     

共代谢条件下丁基黄药的生物降解实验研究

微生物共代谢是降解废水中难降解有机物的重要方式。通过实验研究,比较了以丁基黄药作为唯一碳源和能源以及有共代谢基质存在下丁基黄药的降解过程。结果表明,共代谢显著提高了丁基黄药的降解率。在25℃条件下,以丁基黄药为唯一碳源和能源时,其降解率仅为43.1%;而利用葡萄糖作为共代谢基质,当葡萄糖质量浓度为0.20g/L时,振荡培养72h后丁基黄药的降解率可达65.2%;再加入微量的蛋白胨作为氮源后,丁基黄药的降解率可提高到73.5%;加入共代谢基质后微生物的适应期由原来的36h缩短至24h。共代谢是提高丁基黄药生物降解性能的一条有效途径。     

可见光响应型CuO/BiVO4的光催化活性研究

采用浸渍法制备了CuO/BiVO4光催化剂,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、热重/差示扫描量热(TG/DSC)和傅立叶红外光谱(FTIR)对其进行了表征,并在可见光照射下考察了其光催化氧化亚甲基蓝(MB)的动力学特性。结果表明,Cu的掺杂并未改变BiVO4的晶型结构;Cu(NO3)2/BiVO4在热处理(30～300℃)过程中,NO3-已经完全分解,Cu最终以CuO的形式存在于CuO/BiVO4光催化剂体系中;掺杂不同量Cu的CuO/BiVO4中的Cu2+/Bi+(摩尔比)实测值与理论值相近,该系列光催化剂的合成过程具有较高的可信度;在可见光照射下,CuO/BiVO4光催化降解MB反应符合表观一级反应动力学特征;当Cu2+/Bi+为0.050时,反应动力学速率常数(k)达到最高值(0.4334h-1),此时的k比单体BiVO4作用下的提高了1.04倍;由于异质结的存在,CuO/BiVO4与单体BiVO4相比,电子和空穴的利用率大大增加,使得CuO/BiVO4的光催化活性较单体BiVO4有了大幅度提高。     

An Estimation of the Effects of China’s Priority Forestry Programs on Farmers’ Income

In the late 1990s, the Chinese government initiated some new programs and consolidated other existing ones of ecological restoration and resource development in its forest sector, and renamed them as “Priority Forestry Programs,” or PFPs. They include the Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP), the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP), the Desertification Combating Program around Beijing and Tianjin (DCBT), the Shelterbelt Development Program (SBDP), and the Wildlife Conservation and Nature Reserve Development Program (WCNR). In addition to improving the environmental and resource conditions, a frequently reiterated goal of these PFPs is to increase rural households’ income, therefore discussing why looking at rural household income impacts might be an important part of forest program evaluation. Thus, an interesting and important question is: How has implementing the PFPs affected the farmers’ income and poverty status? This article addresses this question using a fixed-effects model and a panel dataset that covers 1968 households in four provinces for ten consecutive years (1995–2004). The empirical evidence indicates that their effects are mixed. The SLCP, the SBDP, and the NFPP have made positive impact and, by far, the SLCP has the largest effect. But the WCNR and the DCBT still have not had a pronounced overall effect due to their short time span of execution, even though they may have exerted certain influence at the margin. Notably, the impact of the WCNR, if any, is negative.     

An ecological perspective on nanomaterial impacts in the environment

Growing concerns over the potential for unintended, adverse consequences of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in the environment have generated new research initiatives focused on understanding the ecological effects of ENPs. Almost nothing is currently known about the fate and transport of ENPs in environmental waters, soils, and sediments or about the biological impacts of ENPs in natural environments, and the bulk of modern nanotoxicogical research is focused on highly controlled laboratory studies with single species in simple media. In this paper, we provide an ecological perspective on the current state of knowledge regarding the likely environmental impacts of nanomaterials and propose a strategy for making rapid progress in new research in ecological nanoscience.
