Synthesis, characterization and experimental investigation of Cu-BTC as CO2 adsorbent from flue gas

Porous Cu-BTC material was synthesized by the solvothermal method. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to test the phase purity of the synthesized material and investigate its structural stability under the influence of flue gas components. The thermal stability of the material was determined through thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to study the microstructure of the material. Cu-BTC was demonstrated not only to have high CO₂ adsorption capacity but also good selectivity of CO₂ over N₂ by means of packed bed tests. The adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC for CO₂ was about 69 mL/g at 22°C. The influence of the main flue gas components on the CO₂ capacity of the material were discussed as well.     

污泥干化使重金属形态变向稳定的原因分析

在模拟条件下对不同类型污泥进行连续干化,研究了不同干化温度下污泥重金属存在形态的分布特征.同时,通过测定污泥含水率、密度、温度和电导率等物性参数,分析了污泥干化过程重金属形态向稳定态转变的原因.结果表明,污泥中重金属存在形态的分布特征因污泥类型及来源不同而具有明显的差异;污泥干化过程可以使酸溶态、可还原态和可氧化态重金属向残渣态重金属转变;干化过程中污泥物性的改变和部分有机质和硫化物的分解是引起污泥重金属存在形态发生变化的主要原因.研究结果对于深入了解污泥中重金属的环境地球化学行为具有重要的理论意义,同时还可为污泥无害化、减量化和资源化的最终处理提供科学依据.

以国家重点生态功能区县域环境监测质量评价为目标,综合应用德尔菲法、层次分析法和模糊综合评价法,构建了国家重点生态功能区县域环境监测质量评价方法,并确定了评价因子、权重系数、计算方法。该方法评价指标共分为三层:第一层为目标层,即国家重点生态功能区县域环境监测质量;第二层为准则层,包括人员及资质、现场监测、实验室管理、报告编制及数据上报;第三层为方案层,包括人员操作、持证上岗、资质认定、人员培训、水质布点采样流转情况、空气自动站运维情况、现场质控实施情况、实验室环境条件、样品试剂的保存与管理、仪器检定与校准、实验室质量控制实施情况、数据填报软件运行情况、监测报告规范性等13个评价要素。经矩阵一致性检验确定了各评价要素的权重,将该权重与各要素得分运算后得到县域环境监测质量评价结果。在此基础上,选取广东、山西、陕西、四川和青海等5个省份的15个国家重点生态功能区县域作为典型区开展了实地调研,并应用评价体系对其进行了监测质量等级评价。结果表明,15个典型县域中,环境监测质量等级为优的县域占13.3%,一般、较差的县域分别占66.7%、20%。县域环境监测承担单位在资质、报告编制及数据上报方面表现较好,在现场监测、人员操作方面问题突出,在实验室管理方面有待提升。     

过渡金属元素掺杂改性SCR对零价汞的催化氧化性能

为提高商用SCR催化剂对Hg0(零价汞)的催化氧化活性,研究了过渡金属对其进行掺杂改性的方法,并利用固定床反应平台考察了不同试验条件下改性催化剂对Hg0的氧化效率. 结果表明:Y、Zn、Ni和Zr等过渡金属的掺杂可明显抑制SCR催化剂的催化活性,而Fe、Cu掺杂改性SCR催化剂对Hg0的催化氧化性能有显著提升. 在反应温度为350 ℃、空速比为370 000 h-1、φ(HCl)为1×10-5的条件下,Fe、Cu掺杂改性的SCR催化剂对Hg0的氧化效率均能达到90%以上,并且Fe掺杂改性后的SCR催化剂的脱硝性能也未受到明显影响. 借助XRD和XPS等表征手段,对反应前后Fe掺杂改性SCR催化剂进行了研究,表明Fe改性SCR催化剂遵循Mars-Maessen和Langmuir-Hinshelwood机制,可明显提高对Hg0的催化氧化效率,因此,应用前景较好.      

Effect of copper tolerant Elsholtzia splendens on bacterial community associated with Commelina communis on a copper mine spoil

Facilitation, or positive plant–plant interaction, has received increasing concern from ecologists over the last two decades. Facilitation may occur through direct mitigation of severe environments or indirect mediation by a third participant from the same or different trophic levels. The copper(Cu) tolerant species Elsholtzia splendens facilitates the establishment and growth of co-occurring Commelina communis through indirect enrichment of microbial activity. However, whether and how E. splendens impacts the microbial community that is associated with C. communis is less known. We characterized the soil bacterial community in the rhizosphere of C. communis in the absence and presence of E.splendens using PCR-DGGE(polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) and sequencing. The result showed that the richness of the bacterial community increased, but diversity and evenness remained similar, in the presence of E. splendens.Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria were the most dominant bacteria. The relative abundance of dominant and minor bacterial groups showed distinctly different responses to E. splendens. Principal component analysis and redundancy analysis indicated that variation of the bacterial community was determined by multiple factors and might be driven by the tested soil parameters collectively, or alternatively changed through plant root exudates or other microorganisms. Our results enhance the understanding of how the bacterial community associated with a beneficiary plant responds to a benefactor plant and suggests that the changes of bacterial community composition may have far-reaching influence on plant–soil feedback and the aboveground plant community in the long run.

基于FCE-AHP的黄石市地质环境承载力评价

随着城市化进程的加快,人类工程活动日益强烈,地质环境问题已经成为阻碍绿色城市发展的关键因素。了解区域地质环境承载现状,有助于提出有效的地质环境调控手段,科学指导区域发展规划。以湖北省黄石市为研究区,基于地质环境、生态环境、社会环境三个方面共16个评价指标,构建地质环境承载力评价体系。采用模糊综合评价（Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation,FCE）确定各因子的隶属度、层次分析法（Analytic Hierarchy Process,AHP）确定各因子权重,最后通过GIS空间分析对黄石地质环境承载力进行综合评价。研究表明：黄石市东北区域承载力较差,主要受地灾因子制约,建议对地质灾害问题进行修复治理;中西部陈贵镇附近因矿山开采导致其承载力较差,建议开展矿山环境恢复工程;南部阳新县承载力整体较好,可进行适度开发利用。不同区域地质环境承载力的短板要素不同,需要找到制约因子并对其进行改善来提高地质环境承载力。     

A novel online analyzer for accurate and rapid measurement of volatile fatty acids in anaerobic wastewater treatment

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are largely generated during the anaerobic acidification process, are considered to be reliable indicators of the stable process operation. However, the common methods for monitoring VFAs are offline, and they are typically manual requiring time-consuming, costly and complex instruments. This study aims to develop a novel online analyzer for automatic measuring VFAs, which was based on the 5-pH point titration, embedded with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback control system. The results show that it can achieve accurate and rapid monitoring of VFAs ranging between 0-400 mg/L (<9 min/sample) but simultaneously faces the problems of overtitration and interference of complex characteristics of wastewater. In order to improve its accuracy and stability, the effects of three general coefficients (K_I, K_P, and K_D) of PID on the titration were investigated, and the optimal values of K_I, K_P, and K_D were found to be 1.5, 1.0, and -1.0~0.5, respectively. Besides, the initial titration speed was set at 0.06 mL/min, equal to the minimum speed of the peristaltic pump, and the dichotomy approach was integrated into the PID feedback controller. Owing to the above improvements, the relative mean deviation and standard deviation of measuring VFAs in both synthetic and real wastewaters were mostly lower than 5.0% and 5.0 mg/L, proving the online analyzer is rapid, accurate and reliable.     

零价汞在MnOx/α-Al2O3-氯气体系中的催化氧化

为强化烟气中零价汞向二价汞的转化,利用模拟含汞烟气研究了以MnOx/α-Al2O3作为催化剂、利用氯气作为氧化剂催化氧化零价汞的方法.着重考察了氯气浓度、温度、空速和SO2对催化氧化零价汞性能的影响,并与HCl作为氧化剂的结果进行了对比.同时,对催化剂进行表征,探讨了催化剂表面吸附态汞的形态.研究结果表明,Cl2较HCl更易活化且活性温度区间更广,在100～300℃范围内,Cl2体积分数为2.0×10-6时的催化氧化效率即可达80%以上;在1.6×104-6.4×104 h-1空速范围内,零价汞氧化率保持在90%以上.空速继续提高到1.92×105h-1时,零价汞氧化率呈现线性下降趋势;烟气中的SO2与Cl2:反应会消耗Cl2,Cl2体积分数低时对催化氧化反应抑制作用显著,但Cl2体积分数增至5.0×10-6时对催化氧化反应的抑制效果较弱,仅为10%左右.     

污泥干化过程氨的释放与控制

通过模拟试验,深入研究了污泥氨在自然状态和不同温度下的释放特征及其影响因素,并结合污泥低温干化工艺的特点,建立了污泥氨释放的收集与处理系统.结果表明,污泥在储存的四天时间内,氨在空气条件下自然释放的日平均释放量为0.11μg/(g·d),在污泥干化过程中,氨的主要释放量集中在0~30min的早期阶段,氨的释放与水的蒸发同步发生,干化温度决定了污泥氨的释放强度,控制污泥在低温下完成干化过程,是抑制污泥氨释放强度的有效措施.通过多级湿式除尘除气不但可以去除污泥干化时释放的绝大部分氨和其他有害气体(如硫化氢),而且几乎可以去除全部烟尘.
