烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除-还原与吸附作用

采用投加烟束曲霉(Aspergillus fumisynnematus)菌丝球的方法去除含铬废水中的Cr(Ⅵ),通过研究模拟含铬废水中Cr(Ⅵ)与总Cr浓度及pH值的变化规律来确定烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除作用.结果表明,烟束曲霉菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除作用包括还原与吸附,以还原作用为主,兼有一定程度的吸附.适宜条件(30℃,150 r·min-1,pH=1.30,投加量10.0 g)下菌丝球能在48 h内将100 mL浓度为10～200 mg·L-1Cr(Ⅵ)溶液中的Cr(Ⅵ)全部去除,其中对总Cr的吸附率为30%～50%,对Cr(Ⅵ)的还原率则达到了99%以上,吸附平衡后解吸出来的Cr的形态95%以上为Cr(Ⅲ).考察了溶液初始pH值、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度、菌丝球投加量及温度对菌丝球去除Cr(Ⅵ)作用的影响.结果表明,菌丝球只有在低pH值时才能达到对Cr(Ⅵ)较好的去除效果.溶液初始pH值及Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度的降低、菌丝球投加量及温度的升高均能提高菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除率,溶液初始pH值的降低及菌丝球投加量的增加均可提高菌丝球对总Cr的吸附率,温度则主要通过改变菌丝球的结构形态来影响菌丝球对总Cr的吸附作用.菌丝球对Cr(Ⅵ)及Cr(Ⅲ)均存在吸附作用,吸附在菌丝球上的Cr(Ⅵ)在酸性环境下易被还原成Cr(Ⅲ).

A comparative study of vocational education and occupational safety and health training in China and the UK

In order to enhance Chinese workers’ occupational safety awareness, it is essential to learn from developed countries’ experiences. This article investigates thoroughly occupational safety and health (OSH) in China and the UK; moreover, the article performs a comparison of Chinese and British OSH training-related laws, regulations and education system. The following conclusions are drawn: China’s work safety continues to improve, but there is still a large gap compared with the UK. In China a relatively complete vocational education and training (VET) system has been established. However, there exist some defects in OSH. In the UK, the employer will not only pay attention to employees’ physiological health, but also to their mental health. The UK’s VET is characterized by classification and grading management, which helps integrate OSH into the whole education system. China can learn from the UK in the development of policies, VET and OSH training.

Life cycle modelling of fossil fuel power generation with post-combustion CO2 capture

Due to its compatibility with the current energy infrastructures and the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions significantly, CO₂ capture and geological storage is recognised as one of the main options in the portfolio of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies being developed worldwide. The CO₂ capture technologies offer a number of alternatives, which involve different energy consumption rates and subsequent environmental impacts. While the main objective of this technology is to minimise the atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions, it is also important to ensure that CO₂ capture and storage does not aggravate other environmental concerns. This requires a holistic and system-wide environmental assessment rather than focusing on the greenhouse gases only. Life Cycle Assessment meets this criteria as it not only tracks energy and non-energy-related greenhouse gas releases but also tracks various other environmental releases, such as solid wastes, toxic substances and common air pollutants, as well as the consumption of other resources, such as water, minerals and land use. This paper presents the principles of the CO₂ capture and storage LCA model developed at Imperial College and uses the pulverised coal post-combustion capture example to demonstrate the methodology in detail. At first, the LCA models developed for the coal combustion system and the chemical absorption CO₂ capture system are presented together with examples of relevant model applications. Next, the two models are applied to a plant with post-combustion CO₂ capture, in order to compare the life cycle environmental performance of systems with and without CO₂ capture. The LCA results for the alternative post-combustion CO₂ capture methods (including MEA, K⁺/PZ, and KS-1) have shown that, compared to plants without capture, the alternative CO₂ capture methods can achieve approximately 80% reduction in global warming potential without a significant increase in other life cycle impact categories. The results have also shown that, of all the solvent options modelled, KS-1 performed the best in most impact categories.     

Concentrations,atmospheric partitioning,and air–water/soil surface exchange of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran along the upper reaches of the Haihe River basin,North China

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran (PCDD/PCDF) were overall measured and compared in ambient air, water, soils, and sediments along the upper reaches of the Haihe River of North China, so as to evaluate their concentrations, profiles, and to understand the processes of gas–particle partitioning and air–water/soil exchange. The following results were obtained: (1) The average concentrations (toxic equivalents, TEQs) of 2,3,7,8-PCDD/PCDF in air, water, sediment, and soil samples were 4,855 fg/m³, 9.5 pg/L, 99.2 pg/g dry weight (dw), and 56.4 pg/g (203 fg TEQ/m³, 0.46 pg TEQ/L, 2.2 pg TEQ/g dw, and 1.3 pg TEQ/g, respectively), respectively. (2) Although OCDF, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF, OCDD, and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD were the dominant congeners among four environmental sinks, obvious discrepancies of these congener and homologue patterns of PCDD/PCDF were observed still. (3) Significant linear correlations for PCDD/PCDF were observed between the gas–particle partition coefficient (K _p) and the subcooled liquid vapor pressure (P _L ⁰) and octanol–air partition coefficient (K _oa). (4) Fugacity fraction values of air–water exchange indicated that most of PCDD/PCDF homologues were dominated by net volatilization from water into air. The low-chlorinated PCDD/PCDF (tetra- to hexa-) presented a strong net volatilization from the soil into air, while high-chlorinated PCDD/PCDF (hepta- to octa-) were mainly close to equilibrium for air–soil exchange.
