The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and China’s implementation

The concept of sustainable development has experienced great development and change at different levels of theoretical connotation and practical implementation since 1960s and 1970s when it was first proposed. People’s understanding of the relationship between economy, society, and environment has been continuously deepened over the years. When it came to the end of 2015, it is necessary to examine the results of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals on sustainable development, and at the same time, the post-2015 framework and guidance on sustainable development at the global level were to be made, including the ideas, action plans, key areas that would guide the global sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has developed a 5P theoretical framework of being people-centered, global environmental security, sustained economic prosperity, social justice and harmony and partnership promotion, including a political declaration, 17 overarching goals and 169 specific targets, specific ways of implementation, as well as the follow-up. It is the road map to achieve global sustainable development and meet the requirements of the millennium development goals. This paper summarizes the understanding of the concept of sustainable development from its origin, its significant development, to the proposition and development of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and its strategic impact on China.     

Acid-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of nanocrystalline TiO2 from titanate nanotubes: Influence of acids on the photodegradation of gaseous toluene

In order to efficiently remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from indoor air, onedimensional titanate nanotubes (TiNTs) were hydrothermally treated to prepare TiO₂ nanocrystals with different crystalline phases, shapes and sizes. The influences of various acids such as CH₃COOH, HNO₃, HCl, HF and H₂SO₄ used in the treatment were separately compared to optimize the performance of the TiO₂ nanocrystals. Comparedwith the strong and corrosive inorganic acids, CH₃COOH was not only safer andmore environmentally friendly, but also more efficient in promoting the photocatalytic activity of the obtained TiO₂. Itwasobserved that the anatase TiO₂ synthesized in 15 mol/L CH₃COOH solution exhibited the highest photodegradation rate of gaseous toluene (94%), exceeding that of P25 (44%) by a factor ofmore than two. The improved photocatalytic activity was attributed to the small crystallite size and surface modification by CH₃COOH. The influence of relative humidity (20%-80%) on the performance of TiO₂ nanocrystals was also studied. The anatase TiO₂ synthesized in 15 mol/L CH₃COOH solution was more tolerant tomoisture than the other TiO₂ nanocrystals and P25.

Influence of different inoculation densities of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) on heavy metal immobilization in swine manure

The disposal of organic waste by the biocomposting of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has drawn broad attention. However, the discrepancies in heavy metal immobilization between BSFL biocomposting with different inoculation densities and aerobic composting need to be further researched. In this study, BSFL with inoculation densities of 0.08%, 0.24% and 0.40% was added to swine manure to investigate its influence on heavy metal bioaccumulation and bioavailability. The physicochemical properties, BSFL growth performance and amino acid contents were measured. The results showed that the germination index, total prepupal yield and bioavailable fraction removal rate (%) of Cr and Pb at an inoculation density of 0.40% of BSFL were the highest among all of the BSFL biocomposting groups. Although the bioaccumulation factor and heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) concentrations of the BSFL body from swine manure with inoculation densities of 0.24% and 0.40% of BSFL were similar, the BSFL inoculation density of 0.40% had the best absorption effect on these heavy metals in terms of total prepupal yield. Therefore, this study provides a basis for exploring the optimal inoculation density of BSFL biocomposting to reduce the harmful effects of heavy metals in swine manure.

基于入口NOx质量浓度修正的脱硝系统多模型预测控制策略及其应用案例

建立不同锅炉工况下基于欧式距离聚类的总给煤量长短期记忆神经网络预测模型,对入口处的NO_x质量浓度数据进行修正,其验证集上的均方根误差为3.53 mg·m^-3。该结果优于常见的回归方法深度神经网络与随机森林回归的预测结果。以此为基础,研究了基于入口NO_x质量浓度修正的多模型预测控制(MMPC),设计并进行了脱硝系统仿真。仿真结果表明,与原有控制条件相比,基于入口NO_x质量浓度修正的MMPC策略使脱硝系统出口NO_x质量浓度波动幅度减小了63.7%,并能满足出口质量浓度指标为40 mg·m^-3时的控制要求,实现卡边控制。现场工程应用结果表明：在高、中、低负荷正常运行的工况条件下,入口修正-MMPC策略可将出口NO_x质量浓度波动分别控制在±10.6 mg·m⁻³、±5.5 mg·m⁻³、±4.9 mg·m⁻³,以标准差来衡量波动幅度即分别减小了53.4%、74.7%、64.6%,此控制水平优于原有控制效果;在出口NO_x质量浓度易超标并出现高浓度氨逃逸的快速变负荷工况下,升、降负荷出口NO_x质量浓度波动分别控制在±6 mg·m⁻³、±5 mg·m⁻³,此控制水平仍优于原有控制效果。本研究的入口修正-MMPC控制策略可实现不同负荷、工况下的喷氨控制,减小出口NO_x波动幅度,降低后续设备低温腐蚀的风险,从而提高SNCR/SCR联合脱硝系统运行的经济性和安全性。
