Economic and environmental value stream map (E2VSM) simulation for multi-product manufacturing systems

Value stream mapping (VSM) is a well-accepted tool within lean manufacturing concept which is often used for analysing and designing the flow of materials and information required to manufacture a product. However, the analysis is static and single product oriented, which fails to cope with either the variation of production plan or a multi-product environment. In addition, the environmental impact of a manufacturing system is highly associated with the dynamic consumption of energy and resources. Despite the recent integration of VSM with simulation or environmental studies (in the domain of energy efficiency), still neglected is the dynamic assessment of all the resources involved in a multi-product production environment. This paper presents a methodology for modelling multi-product manufacturing systems with dynamic material, energy and information flows with the aim to generate economic and environmental value stream maps (E²VSM). The proposed methodology is validated with an industrial case.     

The development of effects-based air quality management regimes

This paper considers the evolution of attempts to control and manage air pollution, principally but not exclusively focussing upon the challenge of managing air pollution in urban environments. The development and implementation of a range of air pollution control measures are considered. Initially the measures implemented primarily addressed point sources, a small number of fuel types and a limited number of pollutants. The adequacy of such a source-control approach is assessed within the context of a changing and challenging air pollution climate. An assessment of air quality management in the United Kingdom over a 50-year timeframe exemplifies the range of issues and challenges in contemporary air quality management. The need for new approaches is explored and the development and implementation of an effects-based, risk management system for air quality regulation is evaluated.     

Measured reduction of kerbside ultrafine particle number concentrations in Copenhagen

The average particle number concentration kerbside at a busy street in Copenhagen has been reduced by 27% from the period 2002–2004 to the period 2005–2007. The reduction is in the ultrafine particle range (<100 nm). Strong evidence indicates that a significant part of the reduction, especially in the size range <30 nm, is due to the transition to sulphur-free (<10 ppm) diesel fuel and petrol in Denmark at New Year 2005.     

伞罩型湿式脱硫除尘塔入口结构优化模拟

利用商用CFD软件Fluent,采用k-ε湍流模型和SIMPLE算法,对新型伞罩型湿式脱硫除尘塔内的三维两相流场进行数值模拟,发现了塔内烟气入口处流场所存在的不均匀性。为将其流场调节均匀从而提高脱硫除尘效率,在数值模拟的基础上提出在入口处加装直导流板、阶梯导流板和弯曲导流板,并分析塔内y=0截面速度的分布,以及z＝0.21 m截面上的颗粒浓度、速度和压力等参数的分布。结果表明：通过加装阶梯导流板和弯曲导流板均可以将流场调节均匀,达到较理想状态,从而实现高效净化气体的目的。模拟结果对设备的优化设计和实际运行有一定的指导作用。     

污水污泥裂解及其性能的研究

以碘吸附值为裂解残渣吸附性能的指标,通过单因素实验和正交实验,确定了制备裂解残渣的最佳工艺条件,并对残渣的表面元素组成、孔结构组成、晶相组成和吸附性能等性质进行了表征。结果显示：以浓度均为5 mol/L的ZnCl₂和H₂SO₄作活化剂、复配比2∶1、活化温度600℃、活化时间1 h、固液比1∶2.5,制得的裂解残渣酸洗后碘值平均值可达892.8 mg/g;用制备的裂解残渣对苯酚废水进行处理,室温下振荡5 min,苯酚去除率即可达到87.9%,且符合Langmuir吸附等温线方程和Freundlich吸附等温线方程。

竹林土壤中甲基对硫磷降解菌的降解效果及其与土壤物理特性的关系

采用实验室控制试验研究了甲基对硫磷降解菌在竹林土壤生态系统中的降解效果及其与土壤物理特性的关系。试验结果表明,邻单胞菌（DLL-1）具有高效性,甲基对硫磷初始浓度为15 mg/kg干土,第5 d竹林土壤上、中和下层的降解率分别为88.6%、85.9%和79.2%,相应的半衰期为2.5、2.84与3.79 d。甲基对硫磷在土壤中的不同粒径范围吸附情况是不同的,从而影响DLL-1菌的降解效果,表现为土壤中粘粒含量与降解率呈显著正相关。孔隙度也是影响降解效果的一个因素,上中下3层的降解率随着孔隙度的减小而降低。
