Removal of Cu, Zn, and Cd from aqueous solutions by the dairy manure-derived biochar

Purpose

Biochar derived from waste biomass is now gaining much attention for its function as a biosorbent for environmental remediation. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of biochar as a sorbent in removing Cd, Cu, and Zn from aqueous solutions.

Methods

Biochar was produced from dairy manure (DM) at two temperatures: 200°C and 350°C, referred to as DM200 and DM350, respectively. The obtained biochars were then equilibrated with 0–5 mM Cu, Zn or Cd in 0.01 M NaNO₃ solution for 10 h. The changes in solution metal concentrations after sorption were evaluated for sorption capacity using isotherm modeling and chemical speciation Visual MINTEQ modeling, while the solid was collected for species characterization using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray elemental dot mapping techniques.

Results

The isotherms of Cu, Zn, and Cd sorption by DM200 were better fitted to Langmuir model, whereas Freundlich model well described the sorption of the three metals by DM350. The DM350 were more effective in sorbing all three metals than DM200 with both biochars had the highest affinity for Cu, followed by Zn and Cd. The maximum sorption capacities of Cu, Zn, and Cd by DM200 were 48.4, 31.6, and 31.9 mg g^?1, respectively, and those of Cu, Zn, and Cd by DM350 were 54.4, 32.8, and 51.4 mg g^?1, respectively. Sorption of the metals by the biochar was mainly attributed to their precipitation with PO ₄ ^3? or CO ₃ ^2? originating in biochar, with less to the surface complexation through –OH groups or delocalized π electrons. At the initial metal concentration of 5 mM, 80–100 % of Cu, Zn, and Cd retention by DM200 resulted from the precipitation, with less than 20 % from surface adsorption through phenonic –OH complexation. Among the precipitation, 20–30 % of the precipitation occurred as metal phosphate and 70–80 % as metal carbonate. For DM350, 75–100 % of Cu, Zn, and Cd retention were due to the precipitation, with less than 25 % to surface adsorption through complexation of heavy metal by phenonic –OH site or delocalized π electrons. Among the precipitation, only less than 10 % of the precipitation was present as metal phosphate and more than 90 % as metal carbonate.

Conclusions

Results indicated that dairy manure waste can be converted into value-added biochar as a sorbent for sorption of heavy metals, and the mineral components originated in the biochar play an important role in the biochar's high sorption capacity.     

Vehicle routing for the eco-efficient collection of household plastic waste

Plastic waste is a special category of municipal solid waste. Plastic waste collection is featured with various alternatives of collection methods (curbside/drop-off) and separation methods (source-/post-separation). In the Netherlands, the collection routes of plastic waste are the same as those of other waste, although plastic is different than other waste in terms of volume to weight ratio. This paper aims for redesigning the collection routes and compares the collection options of plastic waste using eco-efficiency as performance indicator. Eco-efficiency concerns the trade-off between environmental impacts, social issues and costs. The collection problem is modeled as a vehicle routing problem. A tabu search heuristic is used to improve the routes. Collection alternatives are compared by a scenario study approach. Real distances between locations are calculated with MapPoint. The scenario study is conducted based on real case data of the Dutch municipality Wageningen. Scenarios are designed according to the collection alternatives with different assumptions in collection method, vehicle type, collection frequency and collection points, etc. Results show that the current collection routes can be improved in terms of eco-efficiency performance by using our method. The source-separation drop-off collection scenario has the best performance for plastic collection assuming householders take the waste to the drop-off points in a sustainable manner. The model also shows to be an efficient decision support tool to investigate the impacts of future changes such as alternative vehicle type and different response rates.     

西苕溪流域沉积物及土壤对磷吸附/解吸特性研究

以赋石水库和其上游河道沉积物以及流域内代表性水稻土为对象,通过分析其理化性质,改变上覆水磷浓度和pH的方法探讨沉积物和土壤对磷吸附/解吸的影响。结果表明:(1)沉积物内较高的磷含量,导致吸附/解吸平衡浓度较高,因此在水库和水体中起着磷"源"的作用;(2)土壤最大磷吸附量为566.45mg/kg,远大于沉积物的吸附量,同时吸附/解吸平衡浓度较低,因此在治理湖泊富营养化时,要加大水土保持的力度,尽量减少作为最主要污染源的农田土壤磷素流入水体;(3)无论上覆水中磷浓度升高还是降低,在未达到吸附/解吸平衡浓度前,土壤和沉积物会持续释放磷,故应把水体治理的重点放在降低土壤和沉积物的磷含量上;(4)上覆水的pH对样品的磷吸附和释放都有显著的影响。在酸性(pH3)或碱性(pH9)环境下,样品的磷吸附量均急剧下降,而水体酸化更易导致平衡后上覆水磷浓度的降低。

土壤矿物质-可溶态生物炭的交互作用及其对碳稳定性的影响

将生物质转化为生物炭并输入土壤被认为是一种很有前景的碳封存技术.生物炭颗粒在土壤中会不断释放出可溶态生物炭,这部分生物炭不稳定,易被微生物分解.探明土壤组分矿物质对可溶态生物炭稳定性的影响对评估生物炭的碳封存作用具有重要意义.因此,本文以核桃壳生物炭为研究对象,通过批次吸附实验及微生物降解实验研究了2种代表性土壤矿物质高岭土和针铁矿与核桃壳生物炭可溶有机组分的结合机理,以及这种结合作用对可溶态生物炭稳定性的影响.结果表明:低浓度(如20 mg·L-1)可溶态生物炭条件下,高岭土与可溶态生物炭之间以Ca2+架桥作用为主,约占吸附总量的65%;高浓度(如80 mg·L-1)条件下,以范德华力为主,约占吸附总量的76%.随着可溶态生物炭初始浓度的升高,针铁矿对其吸附量先升高后下降,且以范德华力为主,Ca2+会抑制针铁矿对可溶态生物炭的吸附.被矿物质吸附后的可溶态生物炭,其微生物降解性显著下降,可降解的碳下降了47.9%~85.3%,土壤矿物质能够吸附保护可溶态生物炭,提高其在土壤中的稳定性.     

石油污染土壤中芘高效降解菌群的筛选及降解特性研究

从长期受石油污染土壤中驯化筛选到能以芘为惟一碳源生长的混合菌群GP3,其主要由假单胞菌株GP3A(Pseudomonas sp.)和菌株GP3B(Pandoraea pnomenusa)组成.采用摇瓶振荡培养方法,研究了不同环境条件对混合菌GP3降解芘效能的影响.结果表明,在30℃,150 r/min振荡培养下,混合菌GP3对15 mg/L芘的7 d降解率为90.6%.混合菌GP3降解芘的最适宜温度为35℃,最佳pH值为6.2.加入低浓度葡萄糖(100 mg/L)或菲(10 mg/L)作为共代谢底物,均可提高GP3对芘的降解率.混合菌对芘的降解速率(PDR)与芘的初始浓度呈正相关.研究重金属离子胁迫下GP3对芘的降解时发现,10 ms/L Zn2 的存在对芘降解效能影响较小,Cu2 对芘的降解有抑制作用,Cd2 对混合菌GP3有很强的毒性.
