Several current-use, non-PBDE brominated flame retardants are highly bioaccumulative: evidence from field determined bioaccumulation factors

With the phaseout of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), some non-PBDE BFRs have prompted to be alternatives to the discontinued PBDEs. To assess the bioaccumulation potential of these chemicals, field bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for several non-PBDE BFRs including hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), pentabromotoluene (PBT), pentabromoethylbenzene (PBEB), and hexabromobenzene (HBB), were determined in the aquatic species from a natural pond in an electronic waste recycling site in South China. The log BAFs ranged 2.58-6.01, 3.24-5.58, 3.44-5.98, 2.85-5.98, 3.32-6.08, 2.04-4.77, 2.72-4.09 and 3.31-5.54 for α-HBCD, β-HBCD, γ-HBCD, ∑HBCDs, BTBPE, PBT, PBEB, and HBB, respectively. The log BAF values for HBCD isomers, BTBPE, and HBB were greater than 3.7 (corresponding BAF value 5000) in most of the investigated species, demonstrating their highly bioaccumulative properties. α-, β-, and γ-HBCDs, BTBPE, and HBB appeared comparable or had even greater BAFs compared to PBDE congeners with similar K(OW), suggesting that these BFRs may have a potentially high environmental risk. The BAFs for the given BFR compound were largely variable between species, due to the species-specific feeding ecology, trophic level, and metabolic capacity for these pollutants. Positive linear relationships between log BAF and log K(OW) (r2 = 0.59, p = 0.04), and molecular weight (r2 = 0.54, p = 0.06) of non-PBDE BFRs were observed in the species with low trophic level (Chinese mysterysnail), suggesting that the chemical's physicochemical properties also played key roles in the bioaccumulation processes.     

UBF-物理化学组合工艺处理Zn5-ASA医药废水的研究

采用砂滤－UBF厌氧－絮凝沉淀工艺处理高浓度Zn5-ASA医药废水。实验结果表明，对于COD为8000－10000mg/L，色度7000－9000倍的Zn5-ASA废水，加石灰乳和H2SO4预调，经砂滤柱过滤后，COD会去除20％左右；再进以聚丙烯环为填料的厌氧UBF反应器，HRT为10.57h，COD去除率达83％－89％；出水再经化学絮凝沉淀后，无色透明，COD浓度远小于1000mg/L，符合GB8978－96三级排放标准要求，且色度小于10倍。

The leaching of additive-derived flame retardants (FRs) from plastics in avian digestive fluids: The significant risk of highly lipophilic FRs

The exposure to plastic debris and associated pollutants for wildlife is of urgent concern,but little attention has been paid on the transfer of plastic additives from plastic debris to organisms. In the present study, the leaching of incorporated flame retardants(FRs),including polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs), alternative brominated FRs(AFRs), and phosphate flame retardants(PFRs), from different sizes of recycled acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene(ABS) polymer were investigated in avian digestive fluids. The impact of co-ingested sediment on the leaching of additive-derived FRs in digestive fluids was also explored. In the recycled ABS, BDE 209(715 μg/g) and 1, 2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane(BTBPE,1766 μg/g) had the highest concentrations among all target FRs. The leaching proportions of FRs were higher in finer sizes of ABS. The leaching proportions of FRs from recycled ABS increased with elevated logK OWof FRs. In the tests with coexisted ABS and sediment, hexato deca-BDEs, BTBPE, and decabromodiphenyl ethane(DBDPE) migrated from ABS to sediment, which resulted in the less bioaccessible fractions of these FRs in gut fluids. More lipophilic chemicals tended to be adsorbed by sediment from ABS. The results suggest the migration of additive-derived FRs from plastics to other indigestible materials in digestive fluids. The findings in this study provide insights into the transfer of additive-derived FRs from plastics to birds, and indicate the significant contribution of FR-incorporated plastics to bioaccumulation of highly lipophilic FRs.

CO2泡沫混凝土碳封存潜力分析

CO₂捕集、利用与封存是碳中和技术体系的重要组成部分,混凝土在大规模吸收CO₂方面具有巨大的发展潜力.为了掌握CO₂泡沫混凝土的碳封存潜力,分析了CO₂泡沫混凝土的固碳机制,建立了CO₂泡沫混凝土固碳能力的数学模型,估算了CO₂泡沫混凝土的固碳和储碳能力.结果表明,CO₂泡沫混凝土碳封存能力的99%以上是由混凝土骨架的化学碳化方式完成的,而泡孔的储碳能力较弱;按照30%碳化率估算,我国每年生产的混凝土在全生命周期内的碳封存量平均为2.18亿t,超过大兴安岭林区森林1 a的碳汇;近5年,我国CO₂泡沫混凝土的碳封存潜力为5.80亿t ·a^-1,在煤电一体化矿区的固废和废气资源化利用方面具有很好的应用前景.CO₂泡沫混凝土在凝固前的稳定性是下一步要重点解决的技术难题.     

中国水资源利用效率评估及区域差异研究

水资源危机、水环境恶化已成为我国所面临的严峻挑战,对我国的水资源利用效率进行科学合理的评价,并且讨论造成区域差异的影响因素显得尤为迫切。在全要素生产框架下,将环境要素纳入到效率分析中,利用数据包络分析模型,采用省级层面统计数据,以资本、劳动力和水资源使用量为投入,以国内生产总值与废水排放量为产出,计算我国2000~2011年区域水资源利用效率。研究发现,在时间序列上,我国各省份之间的用水效率差距逐年增大;在空间上,我国的水资源利用效率存在明显的东、中、西部区域差异。进一步研究发现,产业结构、经济发展水平、水资源禀赋、水的基础设施投入对区域水资源利用效率均有显著影响,而水价并没有对水资源利用效率产生显著影响。
