Development and prospects of municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration in China

With the lack of space for new landfills, municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration is playing an increasingly important role in municipal solid waste management in China. The literatures on certain aspects of incineration plants in China are reviewed in this paper, including the development and status of the application of MSW incineration technologies, the treatment of leachate from stored MSW, air pollution control technologies, and the status of the fly-ash control method. Energy policy and its promotion of MSW-to-energy conversion are also elucidated.     

大气中黑碳的健康效应及机制研究进展

虽然人类社会不断进步发展,但大量工业和自然排放也导致了严重的空气污染。大气颗粒物是大气污染物的主要成分之一,黑碳是其中的重要组成成分,被国际癌症研究机构(IARC)归类为2B类致癌物。黑碳可以吸附其他致癌物质,会对环境和人体健康产生不利影响,因此黑碳暴露对人类的危害得到越来越多的重视。空气中黑碳的水平与心血管、呼吸和神经系统疾病的发生都有关系;黑碳主要通过引起氧化应激和炎症反应,诱发基因突变等一系列损伤。虽然现今对于黑碳健康效应的研究已取得了一些进展,但研究多数处于起步阶段,且仅针对黑碳本身进行单独研究,未来还需要加强开展对黑碳和其他污染物联合毒性效应及机制的研究。本综述主要针对近年来已开展的研究进行了总结归纳。     

Using a process-based model to understand dynamics of Chinese agricultural and water technology development from 8000 bc to 1911 ad

Advancements in technology are inextricably bound to our society and the natural environment. However, how the development process of a technology system interacts with both remains unclear. We propose a process model to understand the complex dynamics among technology, society, and the environment via seven interactive elements: technologies, actors, receiving bodies, natural contexts, social contexts, temporal–spatial contexts, and outcomes. The model was applied to agricultural and water technology development in China from 8000 bc to 1911 ad. Our findings show that these elements did not play equally important roles in different periods of the development in ancient China, with social contexts most dominating during the earlier periods and both social and environmental concerns arising towards the later periods. The proposed model, by identifying the elements in the technology development that should be strengthened, can act as an analysis device to assist in reconfiguring a more sustainable socio-technological system.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01424-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.     

Municipal solid waste characteristics and management in China

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the current status and identify the problems of municipal solid waste (MSW) management in China in order to determine appropriate remedial strategies. This is the first of two papers, discussing primarily the general characteristics of MSW and its management in China. The second paper focuses on specific remedial strategies. MSW generation in China has increased rapidly in the past 20 years from 31.3 million tons in 1980 to 113.0 million tons in 1998. The annual rate of increase is 3-10%. The average generation per capita is 1.0 kg/day (0.38 t/year). Nearly one-half of the waste generated is dumped in the suburbs, where the accumulated quantity has reached 6 billion tons, which has caused heavy environmental pollution. This paper provides information on MSW management in China, such as MSW generation and its physical, chemical, and biological properties. Low calorific value and high moisture content characterize China's municipal waste. Other issues related to MSW management in China are also discussed, including the factors that influence MSW generation quantity and     

废水产氢产酸/同型产乙酸耦合产酸条件优化

为了更好地发挥产氢产酸/同型产乙酸耦合系统在废水厌氧发酵生产乙酸方面的优势,有必要寻找一种简单有效的方法以获得该系统产酸的优化条件.利用经过加热处理并活化的厌氧污泥作种泥,以模拟废水中的葡萄糖为底物,针对发酵时间、底物浓度、种泥浓度、初始pH进行4因素10水平均匀设计实验,得到了乙酸生产指标与产酸条件之间关系的回归方程;也得到了以高乙酸产量为主要目标导向同时兼顾高乙酸产率和高乙酸生产强度目标的优化条件;优化条件实验乙酸浓度比均匀设计中最高乙酸浓度提高20%左右.研究表明,将均匀设计应用于废水产氢产酸/同型产乙酸耦合产酸条件优化,可以避免盲目性,迅速获得满意结果.     

光/电法氨氮降解过程中协同作用的研究

为了研究光/电法在氨氮降解过程中的协同作用,采用光/电法降解模拟工业循环冷却水中的氨氮,并对氨氮降解过程中的各影响因素进行了研究,考察了氯离子浓度和溶液pH对降解效率的影响。结果表明,与传统的光催化法和电化学法相比,光/电法在氨氮降解过程中存在良好的协同效应,因而具有更高的氨氮去除率,这主要归功于溶液氯离子的促进作用。另外,在酸性条件下,氨氮降解效率得到进一步加强。当pH在4~5之间,电流密度为10 mA/cm2,NaCl浓度为100 mg/L时,在经过90 min光/电法处理后氨氮去除率高达95%,且N2占总氨氮降解产物的84.2%。

以Cu ²⁺-黄连素混合体系的含铜制药废水为研究对象,考察3种离子交换树脂(D152、D113和D401)对含铜废水中Cu ²⁺和黄连素的吸附性能并对树脂进行了筛选,对D401树脂进行了吸附动力学和吸附热力学拟合分析,同时考察该树脂在黄连素竞争吸附影响下对Cu ²⁺的去除效果。最后,在静态试验基础上开展了动态试验,考察D401树脂柱在3种流速〔1、2和5 BV(柱体积)/h〕下,进样量为1~20 BV时出水的Cu ²⁺和黄连素浓度。结果表明:D401树脂的比吸附量随温度升高而增加,随树脂投加量的增加而降低;该树脂在较宽的pH范围内对Cu ²⁺具有很好的选择吸附性,pH为5.0是最佳吸附条件,此时比吸附量可达39.87 mg/g。吸附过程可以通过Langmuir吸附等温线和伪二级动力学模型进行描述。动态试验中,树脂柱在1 BV/h的流速下,对Cu ²⁺有较好的去除效果;在3种流速条件下,对黄连素的吸附率均较低,进一步验证了该型树脂对Cu ²⁺具有很好的选择吸附性。     

结晶沉淀-树脂吸附组合工艺回收黄连素废水中铜试验研究

通过多批次的小试试验考察了结晶沉淀-树脂吸附组合工艺对黄连素含铜废水的处理效果,并对产生的碱式氯化铜(TBCC)结晶沉淀进行X射线衍射(XRD)成分分析。结果表明:反应pH为7.0~9.0时,废水中超过99.9%的Cu ²⁺以碱式氯化铜结晶沉淀的形式得以回收,反应生成的碱式氯化铜沉淀通过水洗后,其成分符合GB/T 21696—2008《饲料添加剂 碱式氯化铜》质量标准。剩余的废水再经过树脂吸附工艺处理后,出水Cu ²⁺浓度小于1.0 mg/L。在小试试验的基础上,开展了中试试验研究,其结果进一步验证了小试试验的运行效果及该工艺的可行性。通过该处理工艺既可综合利用废水中的铜资源,又可将废水的pH由小于1调至大于7,有利于实现制药废水综合处理和达标排放。
