Screening of indicator pharmaceuticals and personal care products in landfill leachates: a case study in Shanghai,China

● A systematic framework was developed to identify i-PPCPs for landfill leachate. ● The wide-scope target analysis offered a basis for comprehensive i-PPCP screening. ● Source-specificity and representativeness analysis helped to refine i-PPCPs. ● Erythromycin, gemfibrozil and albendazole were identified as i-PPCPs for leachate. Identifying potential sources of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment is critical for the effective control of PPCP contamination. Landfill leachate is an important source of PPCPs in water; however, it has barely been involved in source apportionment due to the lack of indicator-PPCPs (i-PPCPs) in landfill leachates. This study provides the first systematic framework for identifying i-PPCPs for landfill leachates based on the wide-scope target monitoring of PPCPs. The number of target PPCPs increased from < 20 in previous studies to 68 in the present study. Fifty-nine PPCPs were detected, with median concentrations in leachate samples ranging from below the method quantification limit (MQL) to 41 μg/L, and 19 of them were rarely reported previously. A total of 29 target compounds were determined to be PPCPs of high concern by principal component analysis according to multiple criteria, including occurrence, exposure potential, and ecological effect. Coupled with source-specificity and representativeness analysis, erythromycin, gemfibrozil, and albendazole showed a significant difference in their occurrence in leachate compared to other potential sources (untreated and treated municipal wastewater and livestock wastewater) and correlated with total PPCP concentrations; these were recommended as i-PPCPs for leachates. Indicator screening procedure can be used to develop a sophisticated source apportionment method to identify sources of PPCPs from adjacent landfills.

Scenario simulation of water security in China

Umited water resources, increasing demand, low use efficiency, and serious pollution result in severe water resource difficult in China. The evaluation of addressing water problems and the search for effective countermeasures that ensure sustainable water use are key to China‘ s sustainable development. The “compound water security“ consists of food security, life security, environmental security, and economic security. By establishing a conceptual model, the water security of China has been simulated in terms of four scenarios called BAU(the business-as-usual scenario), TEC(the technology and economics scenario), IVL(the institution, values, and lifestyles scenario) and TSD(toward sustainable development) in this paper. The results indicated that water crises, especially water shortages, are being experienced now and will continue to do so for a relatively long time in China and that it is possible to reach a basic balance between supply and demand of water and grain under the TSD developing pattern by a series of approaches including technological innovation, policy adjustments, and behaviour inducement.     

胶结液注入轮数和体积对微生物加固粉土的影响∗

通过微生物诱导碳酸钙沉积可以将松散土颗粒胶结成整体从而达到加固目的。胶结液的注入轮数和每轮使用的胶结液体积会影响加固效果,但目前关于这方面的研究还不充分。以海相粉土为处理对象,通过室内试验来研究胶结液的注入轮数和体积对加固效果的影响。改变胶结液注入轮数的试验结果表明:随着注入轮数的增加,试样中沉积生成的碳酸钙逐渐增多,碳酸钙的分布比较均匀,加固后的无侧限抗压强度逐渐提高;但当胶结液的注入达到一定轮数后,强度的增长幅度逐渐减缓。改变每轮胶结液体积用量的试验结果表明:胶结液体积的增加会带来碳酸钙数量的增加和强度的提高,但当胶结液体积从1.5Vv(孔隙体积)增加至2Vv后,效果改善不明显。从钙离子用量与无侧限抗压强度的关系也表明,每轮注入的胶结液体积应选择1.5Vv。     

洪水冲刷和地震联合作用下砌体结构的失效风险评估∗

基于风险理论,提出一种用概率方法来考虑洪水和地震作用下砌体结构的失效风险评估方法。根据村镇建筑结构在灾害作用下的性能要求,量化结构的性能指标,分析村镇建筑结构在洪水冲刷和地震联合作用下的易损性,综合考虑洪水冲刷、地震的灾害危险性和结构易损性,通过易损性函数与联合灾害概率密度函数在灾害域上积分,获得结构在不同破坏状态下的超越概率,引入损失比和结构累计失效概率,进而获得全性能状态下的可靠度指标,并与目标可靠度指标对比,进行结构性能评估。算例展示了本文方法的建立过程,结果表明：冲刷对结构轻微破坏和中度破坏的易损性影响较小,对严重破坏和倒塌状态的易损性影响较大;洪水冲刷对结构抗震性能具有较大的影响,相比于仅考虑地震作用下,同时考虑洪水冲刷和地震联合作用时,结构各种破坏状态下的失效概率均有所增加,且随着破坏程度的加剧,冲刷对结构失效概率的影响越来越大。

Characterization of heavy metals in fly ash from municipal solid waste incinerators in Shanghai

This study aims to develop a methodology for analysis of characteristics of heavy metals in MSWI fly ash. It performed analysis of composition of heavy metals, leaching toxicity, leaching behavior as a function of pH, specification distribution and corresponding mineral components of residue derived from each step of the sequential extraction. It is found that content of heavy metals follows the sequence of Zn > Pb > Cu > Cr > As > Ni > Cd approximately Hg in both plants, and that total heavy metals account for less than 1% by mass of fly ash. Major hazardous heavy metals in fly ash are As, Cd, Hg, Pb and Zn, whose leaching ratios exceed the limit value described in hazardous waste identification standard. Measured leaching results of Cu, Pb and Zn are essentially consistent with the simulated results at pH between 0 and 13. Content of calcium-silicates, alumino-silicates and glass phases in residue derived from sequential extraction procedure increases steadily from the first step to the fifth step of the sequential extraction procedure. Cu, As, Cr, Hg, Cd, and Ni, relatively stable under strong basic conditions, can be leached out under strong acidic conditions, while Zn and Pb tend to be leached out under both strong acidic and basic conditions.     

The integration of HAZOP expert system and piping and instrumentation diagrams

The main purpose of hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis is to identify the potential hazards in the process design which nowadays is generally developed through a computer aided design (CAD) package. Due to the time and effort consuming nature of HAZOP, it is not done in every engineering firm for every design project. To make HAZOP an integral part of process design, an integration framework is proposed in this paper to seamlessly integrate the commercial process design package Smart Plant P&ID (SPPID, Intergraph) with one of the HAZOP expert systems (named as LDGHAZOP) developed by authors. This integration makes it possible to perform HAZOP analysis easily at anytime of the whole lifecycle of a chemical plant as long as the process design is available, which might help the improvement of design quality. One industrial case study is used to illustrate the ability of the integrated system.
