Effect of inoculum to substrate ratio (I/S) on municipal solid waste anaerobic degradation kinetics and potential

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the inoculum to substrate ratio (I/S) on the anaerobic degradation potential of municipal solid waste (MSW). Reconstituted MSW samples were thus incubated under batch anaerobic conditions and inoculated with an increasing amount of inoculum originating from a mesophilic sludge digester. I/S tested values were 0 (no inoculum added), 0.015, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12, 0.25, 1, 2 and 4 (gVM_inoculum/gVM_waste). The results indicate that the apparent maximal rate of dissolved organic carbon accumulation is reached at I/S = 0.12. Under this level, the hydrolysis process is limited by the concentration of biomass and can thus be described as first order kinetics phenomena with respect to biomass for I/S ratios below 0.12. The maximum methane production rate and the minimal latency are reached at a ratio of 2. In addition to that, both methane signature and ARISA show a shift in the methanogenic populations from hydrogenotrophic to acetoclastic.     

Treatment of mature landfill leachate by biofilters and Fenton oxidation

A series of processes by biofilter and Fenton oxidation to treat mature landfill leachate has been devised. At a hydraulic loading rate of 20 l m^?3 d^?1, a biofilter packed with aged refuse is found to remove 80% of chemical oxygen demand (COD), 89% of ammonia nitrogen and 96% of total phosphorus (TP). Particularly, TP levels dropped below 1 mg l^?1. The optimal condition for Fenton oxidation was selected to be an initial pH of 5, a dosage of 0.01 and 0.02 mol l^?1 of FeSO₄ and H₂O₂, respectively, and a duration of 3 h, where COD removal efficiency reaches 58.6%, and BOD₅/COD ratio is raised from 0.05 to 0.20. Subsequent treatment by a biofilter packed with slag reduces COD, ammonia nitrogen levels to less than 100, 25 mg l^?1, respectively. A pilot scale experiment conducted in situ demonstrates that this series of processes exhibits a high efficiency in removing pollutants from mature landfill leachate and it is viable for application.     

Influences of sediment properties and macrophytes on phosphorous speciation in the intertidal marsh

Phosphorus (P) in wetlands is mainly bound to sediment in various species, which is essential to predict water column P levels. The purpose of this work is to understand the influences of sediment properties and vegetation types on P speciation. Sediments under four vegetation types in the tidal flat and offshore sandbar in Hangzhou Bay of China were collected seasonally. The rank order of P species in sediment based on concentration was exchangeable P (Exch-P)?相似文献   

太湖风生流水动力时空差异特征研究

为研究太湖的流场结构,更好实施引清调水方案改善太湖水质。在确定太湖四季主导风向及其平均风速的基础上,采用有限体积Godunov型通量差分裂(FDS)格式构建太湖水动力模型,并得到了实测流场的良好验证。并进一步研究各季节各湖区的流动规律,确定太湖风生流水动力时空差异特征。结果表明:太湖风生流流态特征主要与风向、风速有关;不同季节平均流速由大到小分别为:冬季、春季、秋季、夏季;从不同的湖区看,湖岸区最大、湖湾区次之、湖心区最小。由此可选择冬季、湖岸区实施调水方案改善太湖水质。     

南京居民的雾霾风险认知及应对行为调查研究

雾霾灾害严重影响了居民的生活,使得民众不得不对其加以认识和了解.通过问卷的方式对南京居民的雾霾风险认知状况进行调查发现,南京居民对雾霾风险的认知程度并不高.主要表现在:居民无法区分PM2.5与雾霾之间的确切差异;居民的雾霾成因认知存在偏差;但居民对雾霾后果及其主体责任的认知较为清晰.另外,在日常生活中,居民通过佩戴口罩、改变饮食、调整户外活动和进行健康支付等一系列行为方式来防止自雾霾的侵害,居民表现出较高的防霾积极性.     

燃煤热电厂掺烧城镇污泥的飞灰属性鉴别研究

污泥焚烧被认为是有具有良好发展前景的污泥减量化和资源化技术,已成为目前污泥处置的主流方式。印染废水处理设施和集中式生活污水处理厂产生的污泥环境风险属中度,推荐采用焚烧的处置方式。通过对燃煤热电厂掺烧污泥飞灰属性鉴别采样方法的分析和筛选,依据GB 5085.1—2007至GB 5085.6—2007等相关规范对飞灰进行鉴别,认为燃煤锅炉掺烧少量印染污泥和生活污泥后,其飞灰不具备危险固废特性,可按照一般固废进行综合利用。焚烧产生的飞灰特性取决于掺烧污泥的属性,要求污泥焚烧项目飞灰综合利用前应按要求开展危险废物鉴别。     

Chemical characterization of size-resolved aerosols in four seasons and hazy days in the megacity Beijing of China

Size-resolved aerosol samples were collected by MOUDI in four seasons in 2007 in Beijing. The PM10 and PM1.8mass concentrations were 166.0 ± 120.5 and 91.6 ± 69.7 μg/m~3, respectively,throughout the measurement, with seasonal variation: nearly two times higher in autumn than in summer and spring. Serious fine particle pollution occurred in winter with the PM1.8/PM10 ratio of 0.63, which was higher than other seasons. The size distribution of PM showed obvious seasonal and diurnal variation, with a smaller fine mode peak in spring and in the daytime. OM(organic matter = 1.6 × OC(organic carbon)) and SIA(secondary inorganic aerosol) were major components of fine particles, while OM, SIA and Ca_2+were major components in coarse particles. Moreover, secondary components, mainly SOA(secondary organic aerosol) and SIA,accounted for 46%–96% of each size bin in fine particles, which meant that secondary pollution existed all year. Sulfates and nitrates, primarily in the form of(NH_4)_2SO_4, NH_4NO_3, Ca SO_4, Na_2SO_4 and K_2SO_4, calculated by the model ISORROPIA II, were major components of the solid phase in fine particles. The PM concentration and size distribution were similar in the four seasons on non-haze days, while large differences occurred on haze days, which indicated seasonal variation of PM concentration and size distribution were dominated by haze days. The SIA concentrations and fractions of nearly all size bins were higher on haze days than on non-haze days, which was attributed to heterogeneous aqueous reactions on haze days in the four seasons.     

两种国标方法测定大气中二氧化硫的比较研究

国标方法中环境空气中二氧化硫的测定方法主要有甲醛吸收-副玫瑰苯胺分光光度法和四氯汞盐吸收-副玫瑰苯胺分光光度法.对国标方法中两种副玫瑰苯胺分光光度法测定环境空气中二氧化硫所用的两种吸收液(四氯汞钾、甲醛)的吸收效果及方法的准确性、精密度等条件作了比较试验.结果表明,采用甲醛溶液作吸收液与四氯汞钾溶液作吸收液相比,吸收效果、精密度和准确度更好,测定的检出限低.用甲醛溶液做吸收液,除了上述优点外,还可避免使用大量的汞盐,有利于环境保护.
