Methane emissions during storage of different treatments from cattle manure in Tianjin

Many studies on methane emissions from animal manure have revealed that animal manure is a major source of methane emissions to the atmosphere that can have negative consequences for people,animals and environment.In general,the release of methane can be influenced by the type of feed taken by animals,temperature,manure characteristics and so on.This study aimed at quantifying and comparing methane release from dairy manure with different piling treatments.Four treatments were designed including manure piling height 30,45,60 cm and adding 6 cm manure every day until the piling height was 60 cm.Static chamber method and gas chromatography were adopted to measure the methane emissions from April to June in 2009.Methane emission rates of all four manure treatments were low in the first week and then increased sharply until reaching the peak values.Subsequently,all the methane emission rates decreased and fluctuated within the steady range till the end of the experiment.Wilcoxon nonparametric tests analysis indicated that methane emission rate was greatly influenced by manure piling height and manner.There were no significant relationships between methane emission rates and the temperatures of ambience and heap.However,regression analysis showed that the quadratic equations were found between emission rates of all treatments and the gas temperature in the barrels.     

SO2 emission cap planning for Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone

The SO₂ emission sources of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone were divided into 556 emissions units according to four different categories, which are city, industry, point sources, and area sources. The CALPUFF model was used to calculate the contribution of each unit, and consequently obtain an influence-transferring matrix. To ensure that the SO₂ concentrations of 46 cities and counties in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone meet air quality standards, an emission optimization model was developed to calculate optimal emissions of each emission unit under different development scenarios. The result showed the optimal emissions of SO₂ by different provinces and industries. To achieve the target of restricting and optimizing development, corresponding planning programs were developed for every district.     

Comprehensive evaluation method of urban air quality statistics based on environmental monitoring data and its application

Air quality monitoring is effective for timely understanding of the current air quality status of a region or city. Currently, the huge volume of environmental monitoring data, which has reasonable real-time performance, provides strong support for in-depth analysis of air pollution characteristics and causes. However, in the era of big data, to meet current demands for fine management of the atmospheric environment, it is important to explore the characteristics and causes of air pollution from multiple aspects for comprehensive and scientific evaluation of air quality. This study reviewed and summarized air quality evaluation methods on the basis of environmental monitoring data statistics during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and evaluated the level of air pollution in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region and its surrounding areas (i.e., the “2+26” region) during the period of the three-year action plan to fight air pollution. We suggest that air quality should be comprehensively, deeply, and scientifically evaluated from the aspects of air pollution characteristics, causes, and influences of meteorological conditions and anthropogenic emissions. It is also suggested that a three-year moving average be introduced as one of the evaluation indexes of long-term change of pollutants. Additionally, both temporal and spatial differences should be considered when removing confounding meteorological factors.

Performance of bitumen coating sheet using biomass pyrolysis oil

ABSTRACT

The “green” production of bitumen has raised increasing interest in recent years to reduce the environmental, energy-related and petro-based concerns. Bio-oil, prepared by biomass pyrolysis, can be used as a substitute for petro-based bitumen in bitumen or bitumen-based coatings, for its similar properties of good adhesion and anti-corrosion characteristics as bitumen. Although biomass is a renewable and widespread chemical resource, its high-valued utilization is still difficult. Several studies have qualitatively demonstrated the use of bio-bitumen in practical applications. The present study investigates that adding some bio-oil to traditional bitumen to form a bio-bitumen could help improve the properties of traditional bitumen. Bio-bitumen was prepared from biomass pyrolysis oil and applied to self-adhesive and doped hot-melt sheets. Results of physical properties demonstrate that bio-bitumen is a potential substitute in bitumen coating sheet.

Implications: This paper is intended to verify the effect of pyrolyzed bio-oil from wheat straw on the performance of bitumen, as well as the feasibility of application in the coating sheet. Up to now, the research on bio-bitumen is mainly in pavement bitumen. In the present research, bio-bitumen was applied to the coating sheet in different proportions. Interestingly, the prepared coating sheet exhibited higher adhesion. Other performances, such as temperature stability, mechanical strength and temperature flexibility of coating sheet showed improvement in the presence of bio-oil, which indicated the suitability of bio-oil in coating sheet bitumen.

纳米SiO2对Pb2+污染水源水混凝过程的影响

随着纳米材料的广泛应用,越来越多的纳米材料会泄露到水环境中,但目前关于纳米材料对混凝过程的影响还缺乏充分的研究。针对不同浊度,不同纳米SiO2浓度,不同pH以及腐殖酸对混凝去除Pb2+的影响进行了一系列的研究。结果表明,在低投加量(40 mg/L) 条件下,Pb2+的去除率受浊度影响较大,然而在高投加量(80 mg/L) 条件下,Pb2+的去除率受浊度的影响反而较小,且随着浊度从15.0 NTU增加到90.0 NTU,Pb2+的去除率从70.172%下降到63.925%。当浊度为45.0 NTU,投加量为40 mg/L时,铅离子的去除率在 SiO2投加量达到0.8 mg/L时达到最高(92.34%)。由于在低浊度条件下絮体形成不充分,以至于生成的絮体对SiO2的吸附去除率较低,所以吸附在SiO2表面的Pb2+会悬浮在溶液体系中,造成Pb2+去除率的下降。随着pH的升高,Pb2+去除率呈先升高后降低的趋势,且在偏碱性条件下达到最高。pH对Pb2+去除率的影响主要体现在其对纳米SiO2表面电荷的影响,SiO2表面负电荷增多可有效提高Pb2+的去除率,说明纳米SiO2的吸附作用在去除Pb2+的过程中起重要的作用。在高混凝剂投加量(80.0 mg/L)下腐殖酸对Pb2+的去除有促进作用,且当腐殖酸存在时,SiO2的含量对Pb2+的去除率无明显影响。     

Ceramic tiles with black pigment made from stainless steel plant dust: Physical properties and long-term leaching behavior of heavy metals

Stainless steel plant dust is a hazardous by-product of the stainless steelmaking industry. It contains large amounts of Fe, Cr, and Ni, and can be potentially recycled as a raw material of inorganic black pigment in the ceramic industry to reduce environmental contamination and produce value-added products. In this paper, ceramic tiles prepared with black pigment through recycling of stainless steel plant dust were characterized in terms of physical properties, such as bulk density, water absorption, apparent porosity, and volume shrinkage ratio, as well as the long-term leaching behavior of heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Zn). The results show that good physical properties of ceramic tiles can be obtained with 8% pigments addition, sample preparation pressure of 25 MPa, and sintering at 1200 ºC for 30 min. The major controlling leaching mechanism for Cr and Pb from the ceramic tiles is initial surface wash-off, while the leaching behavior of Cd, Ni, and Zn from the stabilized product is mainly controlled by matrix diffusion. The reutilization process is safe and effective to immobilize the heavy metals in the stainless steel plant dust.

Implications: Stainless steel plant dust is considered as a hazardous material, and it can be potentially recycled for black pigment preparation in the ceramic industry. This paper provides the characteristics of the ceramic tiles with black pigment through recycling stainless steel plant dust, and the long-term leaching behavior and controlling leaching mechanisms of heavy metals from the ceramic tile. The effectiveness of the treatment process is also evaluated.
