Greenhouse gas emissions from MSW incineration in China: Impacts of waste characteristics and energy recovery

Determination of the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted during municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is complex because both contributions and savings of GHGs exist in the process. To identify the critical factors influencing GHG emissions from MSWI in China, a GHG accounting model was established and applied to six Chinese cities located in different regions. The results showed that MSWI in most of the cities was the source of GHGs, with emissions of 25–207 kg CO₂-eq t^?1 rw. Within all process stages, the emission of fossil CO₂ from the combustion of MSW was the main contributor (111–254 kg CO₂-eq t^?1 rw), while the substitution of electricity reduced the GHG emissions by 150–247 kg CO₂-eq t^?1 rw. By affecting the fossil carbon content and the lower heating value of the waste, the contents of plastic and food waste in the MSW were the critical factors influencing GHG emissions of MSWI. Decreasing food waste content in MSW by half will significantly reduce the GHG emissions from MSWI, and such a reduction will convert MSWI in Urumqi and Tianjin from GHG sources to GHG sinks. Comparison of the GHG emissions in the six Chinese cities with those in European countries revealed that higher energy recovery efficiency in Europe induced much greater reductions in GHG emissions. Recovering the excess heat after generation of electricity would be a good measure to convert MSWI in all the six cities evaluated herein into sinks of GHGs.     

Ammonium-dependent regulation of aerobic methane-consuming bacteria in landfill cover soil by leachate irrigation

The impacts of landfill leachate irrigation on methane oxidation activities and methane-consuming bacteria populations were studied by incubation of landfill cover soils with leachate and (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution at different ammonium concentrations. The community structures and abundances of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were examined by PCRDGGE and real-time PCR. Compared with the pure (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution, leachate addition was found to have a positive effect on methane oxidation activity. In terms of the irrigation amount, ammonium in leachate was responsible for the actual inhibition of leachate. The extent of inhibitory effect mainly depended on its ammonium concentration. The suppression of the predominant methaneconsuming bacteria, type I MOB, was responsible for the decreased methane oxidation activity by ammonium inhibition. Methaneconsuming bacteria responded diversely in abundance to ammonium. The abundance of type I MOB decreased by fivefold; type II MOB showed stimulation response of fivefold magnification upon the first addition but lessened to be lower than the original level after the second addition; the amount of AOB was stimulated to increase for 20-30 times gradually. Accumulated nitrate from nitrification strengthened the ammonium inhibition on type I and type II MOB, as a result, repetitive irrigation was unfavorable for methane oxidation.     

某涡轮风扇发动机试车台的声环境研究

涡轮风扇发动机试车台空气流量大,试车噪声呈宽带强噪声,其中突出的低频域噪声可远距离传播,易造成大范围的环境污染。为掌握某型涡轮风扇发动机在室内试车时的噪声特性,并检验试车台建筑物和各项降噪设备的效果,我们对新建试车台的声环境进行了测量。通过对该试车台内、外环境噪声数据的分析,表明新建试车台的声环境满足了我国有关规范的要求。本次研究工作对今后试车台的声学设计具有重要的借鉴意义。     

台风“安比”对河北东南部地区一次O3污染影响的特征分析

利用欧洲中心ERA-Interim数据以及河北省环境监测站、气象站观测资料,对2018年7月22—24日台风"安比"影响河北前后的一次O_3污染过程的生成、维持、清除进行动力分析,结果如下:台风外围的副热带高压天气型结构有利于河北南部地区污染物的积聚,其演变对预报大气光化学污染具有重要的意义;台风降水对O_3污染有非常好的清除作用,降水量越大,清除效果越好;高压带内部的高温有利于光化学反应,有利于O_3污染的形成;近地层的弱风辐合场与下沉气流的双重作用对O_3污染形成有很好的贡献;旋转形变效应(ds)负值区与河北中南部O_3污染区域对应;动力条件促使湍流运动加强,对O_3污染的清除有很好的作用.通过相关系数检验发现石家庄、邢台5 cm土壤温度和臭氧小时浓度相关性较高(相关系数0.75～0.85),由于土壤温度增加速度低于地表温度增加速度,臭氧浓度增加速度也低于地表温度增加速度,因此5 cm土壤温度比地表温度更及时反映了臭氧光化学反应强度.     

环境规制的蓝色红利效应研究

利用中国工业企业数据库2004~2009年制造业企业数据,以清洁生产目录标准的政策实施为外生冲击事件,基于倍差估计法（DID）实证检验了环境规制对企业盈利能力、盈利质量、波特效应和管理创新成本等蓝色红利的影响.结果发现：环境规制显著提升了制造企业的利润率和企业的现金流充裕性,改善了企业的盈利能力和盈利质量;环境规制显著降低了企业管理创新成本,但波特效应不显著.环境规制的蓝色红利效应存在地方策略互动、企业规模和所有制的异质性：地方政府之间的策略性不合作抑制了环境规制蓝色红利效应.企业规模的扩大提高了管理创新成本,但强化其他相关的蓝色红利效应.环境规制对国有企业的利润率、现金流以及全要素生产率的改善作用强于非国有企业,但更有助于降低非国有企业的管理创新成本.     

FNA对短程硝化污泥菌群结构的影响

在SBR反应器增加游离亚硝酸（FNA）预处理单元,投加浓度为1.2mgHNO₂-N/L的FNA进行缺氧搅拌4.5h,连续处理3d,考察短程硝化污泥中FNA对氨氧化菌（AOB）,丝状菌和微生物菌群结构的影响.研究表明,FNA对AOB有短时抑制作用,并能够抑制优势丝状菌Candidatus_Microthrix（微丝菌属）和Cytophagaceae（噬纤维菌）的增殖,分别由5.1%和1.1%下降到0.78%和几乎不可见.SVI从281mL/g降低到100mL/g左右.NAR能够维持在90%左右,短程硝化不受到破坏.高通量结果显示,FNA处理后微生物菌群结构多样性与丰度出现下降,但Thauera（陶厄氏菌属）和Ottowia出现了增殖,分别增加到5.58%和7.82%,同步硝化反硝化（SND）作用明显,这使得即便只有短程硝化,总氮去除率依然能达到60%以上.     

国土空间规划“三条控制线”划定的沈阳实践与优化探索

国务院机构改革前,生态保护红线、永久基本农田、城镇开发边界三条控制线分别由国家不同部委主导划定,存在划定过程统筹协同不够、划定结果交叉重叠、实施管理困难等问题。国务院机构改革后,自然资源部负责建立国土空间规划体系,要求在资源环境城镇能力和国土空间开发适宜性评价基础上,自上而下逐级统筹划定落实三条控制线。本文总结了沈阳作为试点城市,在三条控制线划定中的矛盾冲突表现与成因,构建三条控制线与生态、农业、城镇三大空间关系,建立管控体系与调整规则,并阐释在市级权限范围内的调整优化做法。研究发现：三条控制线存在空间交叉重叠、功能难以区分的现象,主要是因为基本农田承担了限制城市空间蔓延的使命,指标不允许跨行政区调整导致部分基本农田不得不安排到城镇内部;由于概念界定不同导致部分城市公园被划入生态保护红线;生态保护红线内的部分耕地被先期划为永久基本农田。提出国土空间规划背景下三条控制线优化建议：一是突出既是政策线又是技术线的特征,自上而下和自下而上相结合划定;二是国家自上而下对基本农田调整政策和制度进行创新;三是建立事权分级管理机制,合理预留地方事权弹性。

Highly catalytic activity of Mn/SBA-15 catalysts for toluene combustion improved by adjusting the morphology of supports

Rod-like, hexagonal and fiber-like SBA-15 mesoporous silicas were synthesized to support MnO_x for toluene oxidation. This study showed that the morphology of the supports greatly influenced the catalytic activity in toluene oxidation. MnO_x supported on rod-like SBA-15(R-SBA-15) displayed the best catalytic activity and the conversion at 230°C reached more than 90%, which was higher than the other two catalysts. MnO_x species consisted of coexisting MnO_2 and Mn_2O_3 on the three kinds of SBA-15 samples. Large amounts of Mn_2O_3 species were formed on the surface and high oxygen mobility was obtained on MnO_x supported on R-SBA-15, according to the H_2 temperature programmed reduction(H_2-TPR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) results. The Mn/R-SBA-15 catalyst with greater amounts of Mn_2O_3 species possessed a large amount of surface lattice oxygen, which accelerated the catalytic reaction rate. Therefore, the surface lattice oxygen and high oxygen mobility were critical factors on the catalytic activity of the Mn/R-SBA-15 catalyst.
