Could wastewater analysis be a useful tool for China? — A review

Analysingwastewater samples is an innovative approach that overcomesmany limitations of traditional surveys to identify and measure a range of chemicals that were consumed by or exposed to people living in a sewer catchment area. First conceptualised in 2001, much progress has been made to make wastewater analysis (WWA) a reliable and robust tool for measuring chemical consumption and/or exposure. At the moment, the most popular application of WWA, sometimes referred as sewage epidemiology, is to monitor the consumption of illicit drugs in communities around the globe, including China. The approach has been largely adopted by lawenforcement agencies as a device tomonitor the temporal and geographical patterns of drug consumption. In the future, themethodology can be extended to other chemicals including biomarkers of population health (e.g. environmental or oxidative stress biomarkers, lifestyle indicators or medications that are taken by different demographic groups) and pollutants that people are exposed to (e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, perfluorinated chemicals, and toxic pesticides). The extension of WWA to a huge range of chemicals may give rise to a field called sewage chemical-information mining (SCIM) with unexplored potentials. China has many densely populated cities with thousands of sewage treatment plants which are favourable for applying WWA/SCIM in order to help relevant authorities gather information about illicit drug consumption and population health status. However, there are some prerequisites and uncertainties of the methodology that should be addressed for SCIM to reach its full potential in China.

Algal toxicity induced by effluents from textile-dyeing wastewater treatment plants

This research aimed to evaluate the alga Scenedesmus obliquus toxicity induced by textiledyeing effluents(TDE).The toxicity indicator of TDE in alga at the physiological(algal growyth),biochemical(chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) synthesis and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity) and structural(cell membrane integrity) level were investigated.Then we further study the relationship among toxicity indicators at physiological and biochemical level,and supplemented by research on algal biomacromolecules.Accordin...     

Assessment of Pb uptake, translocation and immobilization in kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) for phytoremediation of sand tailings

The potential of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) for phytoremediation of lead (Pb) on sand tailings was investigated.A pot experiment employing factorial design with two main effects of fertilizer and lead was conducted in a nursery using sand tailings from an ex-tin mine as the growing medium.Results showed that Pb was found in the root,stem,and seed capsule of kenaf but not in the leaf.Application of organic fertilizer promoted greater biomass yield as well as higher accumulation capacity of Pb.In Pb-spike...     

细微泥沙粒径对活性污泥产率的影响及其计算公式

针对我国城镇污水处理厂进水SS/BOD5值普遍偏高,在取消初沉池后出现泥沙淤积、污泥浓度提高和污泥MLVSS/MLSS(f)值下降等问题,利用实验室SBR研究了不同粒径的细微泥沙对活性污泥产率的影响,并在对国内外现有污泥产率公式进行具体分析的基础上,提出了对于污泥产率公式的优化方法,并借此推导出f值的预测表达式。结果表明:当在进水中分别掺入体积平均粒径为19.8、72和118.6 μm的细微泥沙300 mg/L时,在系统运行36 d后,污泥浓度从启动初期的3 450分别提高至7 898、5 389和3 742 mg/L,MLVSS/MLSS则从0.67分别下降为0.33、0.48和0.59;活性污泥产率由0.498分别提升至1.257、0.813和0.575 kg MLSS/kg BOD5,利用悬浮系数ω对ATV污泥产率公式进行优化修正,计算值与实测值的相对误差分别由修正前的46.1%、125.8%和219.3%降至修正后的8.4%、8.9%和3.5%,所得的产率更贴近实际;通过修正后的ATV产率公式建立f值的预测表达式,计算值与实测值的相对误差分别为18.3%、12.6%和4.4%。

外源有机酸对小飞扬草(Euphorbia thymifolia L.)修复镉污染土壤的影响

植物修复有许多优点,但当用于重金属含量较高的土壤时,通常修复效率较低。研究了添加外源柠檬酸、草酸、苹果酸对镉超积累植物小飞扬草(Euphorbia thymifolia L.)富集Cd的影响,以及3种外源有机酸对土壤pH、Cd形态及小飞扬草根系生理生化特性的影响,探讨利用有机酸强化小飞扬草修复镉污染土壤的可能性及其作用机制。结果表明,土壤Cd含量为247 mg/kg时,种植15 d后,3种有机酸均提高了小飞扬草根和地上部Cd含量,强化效果:草酸>柠檬酸>苹果酸,10 mmol/kg草酸的加入使小飞扬草地上部分Cd含量达最大值77.21 mg/kg,比对照组提高87.72%。加入有机酸使土壤pH从7.65下降至6.01~7.45,BCR三步提取法分析土壤Cd形态结果表明,酸溶态Cd含量增加,残渣态Cd含量减小。加入20 mmol/kg苹果酸降低了根系的活力和ATP酶活性,根细胞膜透性与对照组无显著性差异,而加入5、10和20 mmol/kg的柠檬酸、草酸和5、10 mmol/kg的苹果酸均显著增加了小飞扬草根系的活力和ATP酶活性,减小了根细胞膜透性。说明添加3种外源有机酸能强化小飞扬草修复Cd污染土壤,利用外源有机酸很有可能成为提高重金属污染土壤植物修复效率的有效途径。     

Review of Italian experience on automotive shredder residue characterization and management

Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) is a special waste that can be classified as either hazardous or non hazardous depending on the amount of hazardous substances and on the features of leachate gathered from EN12457/2 test. However both the strict regulation concerning landfills and the EU targets related to End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) recovery and recycling rate to achieve by 2015 (Directive 2000/53/EC), will limit current landfilling practice and will impose an increased efficiency of ELVs valorization. The present paper considers ELVs context in Italy, taking into account ASRs physical–chemical features and current processing practice, focusing on the enhancement of secondary materials recovery. The application in waste-to-energy plants, cement kilns or metallurgical processes is also analyzed, with a particular attention to the possible connected environmental impacts. Pyrolysis and gasification are considered as emerging technologies although the only use of ASR is debatable; its mixing with other waste streams is gradually being applied in commercial processes. The environmental impacts of the processes are acceptable, but more supporting data are needed and the advantage over (co-)incineration remains to be proven.

有机磷阻燃剂的环境暴露与动物毒性效应

有机磷阻燃剂(OPFRs)逐渐替代了危害较大的多溴联苯醚(PBDEs),因此使得人类及其他生物更易暴露于这种有机物中。有研究表明,部分有机磷酸酯具有致癌性,因而使人们对其毒性的问题也日益关注。本文概述了有机磷阻燃剂的环境暴露水平,总结了近年来从体外与体内实验2个方面动物毒性效应的研究。目前研究发现诸多地区的大气、土壤和水体中的有机磷阻燃剂总含量水平相对较低;仅高浓度暴露才会对不同动物体造成一定程度的损伤,而远大于环境浓度的低浓度暴露几乎无损伤效应。最后,对有机磷阻燃剂毒性效应的未来研究重点进行了展望。
