Behaviour of cement-treated MSWI bottom ash

MSWI bottom ash is the residue of combustion. The use of bottom ash in road construction is wide spread. French legislation forbids the disposal of resuable waste in special landfill from 2002. Moreover, "arrêté du 9 mai 1994" provides environmental criteria (leaching threshold, etc.), and evaluates this material according to utilisation in road construction. In such application, bottom ash is often treated with binder to improve its mechanical features. Nevertheless, bottom ash is subject to chemical problems. These problems induce an expansion which brings about cracking and finally road destruction. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the swelling potential of MSWI bottom ash prior utilisation. This is one of the aims of the European contract "Mashroad" (contract BRST CT97-5150). This study involved 4 years of work on cement-treated MSWI bottom ash. It examined different tests that show the importance of oxidation of aluminium in the swelling reaction and the efficiency of different treatments. Different binders were used in order to have different proportions of clinker. The kinetic aspects of aluminium-binder reaction were also studied. Finally, we present a special cell to measure the swelling pressure of these materials is presented.

碳纳米管对嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌的毒性效应及其作用机制

以嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans）为实验菌株,探讨不同条件下碳纳米管（CNTs）对其生长的影响,并采用SEM、EDS和FT-IR等手段分析CNTs对嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌的毒性机制。实验结果表明,CNTs对Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans生长有抑制作用,并随着CNTs剂量的增加,毒性增大。在CNTs投加量为500 mg/L时,培养40 h后菌株的生长量OD420达到最大值0.117,低于空白组的0.163。培养温度和培养基的pH对CNTs的细胞毒性效应有较大影响,在菌体生长的适宜条件下（pH 3.0,温度为30℃）,CNTs对菌体的毒性最强。SEM、EDS和FT-IR分析结果显示,CNTs附着在细胞表面,与细胞表面的羟基、氨基等基团相互作用,并可能诱发菌体细胞产生活性氧自由基（ROS）,从而导致细胞死亡。

降低采油污水处理中污泥产生量技术研究——室内试验研究——

为了降低采油污水处理过程中产生的污泥量,对“降低采油污水处理中污泥产生量技术”进行了研究,并在采油一厂文一污水站进行了为期66天的现场实验。结果表明,降低采油污水处理污泥产生量技术通过化学反应将污水中的部分离子转变为对污水净化有用的组分,并通过控制污水中的氧含量、pH及离子平衡,达到去除水中悬浮物、控制腐蚀、维持水中离子平衡的目的。当复合碱按600 mg/L加入并使系统的pH值控制在7.0～7.3且絮凝剂、助凝剂加入浓度分别为150 mg/L、100 mg/L时,污水的pH、含油量、总铁、悬浮物由处理前的6.0、109 mg/L、13.5 mg/L、78 mg/L下降为7.0、0、0～0.42、1～2,滤膜系数为35;污水腐蚀速率为0.0691 mm/a;处理后水中SRB、TGB含量分别为0、101个/mL;经中国科学院渗流流体力学研究所等单位监测和技术评价证实,处理后污水与地层水配伍性良好,对地层不伤害,所产生污泥可初步用做建筑材料。     

Dynamism of household carbon emissions (HCEs) from rural and urban regions of northern and southern China

China contributes 23 % of global carbon emissions, of which 26 % originate from the household sector. Due to vast variations in both climatic conditions and the affordability and accessibility of fuels, household carbon emissions (HCEs) differ significantly across China. This study compares HCEs (per person) from urban and rural regions in northern China with their counterparts in southern China. Annual macroeconomic data for the study period 2005 to 2012 were obtained from Chinese government sources, whereas the direct HCEs for different types of fossil fuels were obtained using the IPCC reference approach, and indirect HCEs were calculated by input-output analysis. Results suggest that HCEs from urban areas are higher than those from rural areas. Regardless of the regions, there is a similarity in per person HCEs in urban areas, but the rural areas of northern China had significantly higher HCEs than those from southern China. The reasons for the similarity between urban areas and differences between rural areas and the percentage share of direct and indirect HCEs from different sources are discussed. Similarly, the reasons and solutions to why decarbonising policies are working in urban areas but not in rural areas are discussed.

     

Decontamination of electronic waste-polluted soil by ultrasound-assisted soil washing

Laboratorial scale experiments were performed to evaluate the efficacy of a washing process using the combination of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) and tea saponin (TS) for simultaneous desorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and heavy metals from an electronic waste (e-waste) site. Ultrasonically aided mixing of the field contaminated soil with a combination of MCD and TS solutions simultaneously mobilizes most of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the analyte metal (Pb, Cu, and Ni) burdens. It is found that 15 g/L MCD and 10 g/L TS is an efficient reagent combination reconciling extraction performance and reagent costs. Under these conditions, the removal efficiencies of HOCs and heavy metals are 93.5 and 91.2 %, respectively, after 2 cycles of 60-min ultrasound-assisted washing cycles. By contrast, 86.3 % of HOCs and 88.4 % of metals are removed from the soil in the absence of ultrasound after 3 cycles of 120-min washing. The ultrasound-assisted soil washing could generate high removal efficiency and decrease the operating time significantly. Finally, the feasibility of regenerating and reusing the spent washing solution in extracting pollutants from the soil is also demonstrated. By application of this integrated technology, it is possible to recycle the washing solution for a purpose to reduce the consumption of surfactant solutions. Collectively, it has provided an effective and economic treatment of e-waste-polluted soil.
