生物墙对地下水中六价铬的去除效果模拟研究

通过土柱实验模拟地下水环境,研究以发酵树皮为主要反应介质的渗透性生物墙对地下水中六价铬的去除效果,为六价铬污染地下水的修复提供方法和依据。结果表明,模拟生物墙运行数天后,墙内形成弱碱性(pH 7~8)、强还原(Eh<-100 mV)环境,有利于六价铬转化为三价铬并生成沉淀。在进水六价铬浓度为20 mg/L、水流速度为3.7 cm/d的运行条件下,3周期间生物墙对六价铬的去除率稳定在98%左右,生物墙内沿水流方向三价铬的浓度先上升后下降(最高达6.6 mg/L),出水三价铬约为1.0 mg/L。吸附和微生物转化是生物墙对水中六价铬去除的主要反应。

采用O₃/H₂O₂高级氧化工艺处理炼油厂反渗透（RO）浓水,用溶气泵加压溶气并产生微气泡强化传质,确定装置运行条件,考察气体中臭氧浓度、H₂O₂/O₃初始摩尔比、pH和温度对O₃/H₂O₂处理RO浓水效果的影响,并对RO浓水处理效能进行研究。结果表明,随着气体中臭氧浓度的增加,COD的去除率基本呈线性增加;加入适当量H₂O₂能提高臭氧氧化RO浓水的效果,H₂O₂/O₃初始摩尔比在0~0.8范围内,COD的去除率先增加后下降,H₂O₂/O₃初始摩尔比为0.5时COD去除率最大;pH从6.84增加到9.01,COD去除率逐渐增大,pH为10.03时COD去除率反而降低;在14~28℃范围内,温度低时,升高温度COD去除率增加较大,温度较高时,升高温度对COD去除率的影响较小。为考察该工艺的稳定性,在H₂O₂/O₃初始摩尔比为0.5、溶液pH为8~9、臭氧浓度为80~100 mg/L、温度为10~28℃条件下,对COD为90~140 mg/L的RO浓水氧化处理4~10 h,出水COD维持在39.9~49.9 mg/L,达到《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准（GB 18918-2002）》中的一级A标准;去除1 g COD消耗O₃ 1.4~3.3 g,消耗O₃与H₂O₂的总氧量为2.2~4.4 g。     

Practices and opportunities of ecosystem service studies for ecological restoration in China

New approaches have emerged in integrating ecosystem services, their structure and function for ecological restoration. As the concept relating with ecosystem services has become widely accepted in last decade in China, its linking with ecological restoration will provide good opportunities and make substantial progress towards sustainable development. By analyzing the traditional ecological restoration procedure in China, we developed a framework of ecological restoration based on ecosystem services valuation. Relevant researches of ecological restoration based on ecosystem services are also carefully reviewed. China’s ecosystem services studies and payments for ecosystem services (PES) experiences were extensively discussed to show the ecological restoration strategy and its change. Two case studies in China were presented to show the framework for ecological restoration based on PES. We suggested that despite the limitations of valuation uncertainties at present, PES could be an opportunity for ecological restoration by evaluating the trade-offs of different stakeholders. In current state in China, challenges and opportunities coexist and scientists should work together in the integrated research of sustainable ecological management and economic development policies.     

Resource allocation for mitigating regional air pollution–related mortality: A summertime case study for five cities in the United States

An important issue of regional air quality management is to allocate air quality management funds to maximize environmental and human health benefits. In this study, we use an innovative approach to tackle this air quality management issue. We develop an innovative resource allocation model that allows identification of air pollutant emission control strategies that maximize mortality avoidances subject to a resource constraint. We first present the development of the resource allocation model and then a case study to show how the model can be used to identify resource allocation strategies that maximize mortality avoidances for top five Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) (i.e., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Philadelphia) in the continental United States collectively. Given budget constraints in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Air Act assessment, the results of the case study suggest that controls of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and primary carbon (PC) emissions from EPA Regions 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 would have significant health benefits for the five selected cities collectively. Around 30,800 air pollution–related mortalities could be avoided during the selected 2-week summertime episode for the five cities collectively if the budget could be allocated based on the results of the resource allocation model. Although only five U.S. cities during a 2-week episode are considered in the case study, the resource allocation model can be used by decision-makers to plan air pollution mitigation strategies to achieve the most significant health benefits for other seasons and more cities over a region or the continental U.S.Implications: Effective allocations of air quality management resources are challenging and complicated, and it is desired to have a tool that can help decision-makers better allocate the funds to maximize health benefits of air pollution mitigation. An innovative resource allocation model developed in this study can help decision-makers identify the best resource allocation strategies for multiple cities collectively. The results of a case study suggest that controls of primary carbon and sulfur dioxides emissions would achieve the most significant health benefits for five selected cities collectively.

Application of plant carbon source for denitrification by constructed wetland and bioreactor: review of recent development

Water quality standard for nitrate becomes more and more strict, and the plant carbon source is widely used for denitrification by constructed wetland (CW) and bioreactor. However, the nitrate removal efficiency by different types of plant carbon source are not evaluated comprehensively. Denitrification performance of different plant carbon sources, and the influence of dosing method and pretreatment are thoroughly reviewed in this paper, which aims to investigate the accurate utilization of plant carbon source for nitrogen (as nitrate) removal. It is concluded that plant carbon source addition for all types of CWs and bioreactors can improve the nitrate removal efficiency to some extent, and the dosing method of plant carbon source for denitrification should be further studied and optimized in the future. The popular carbon sources for CW and bioreactor denitrification enhancement are woodchip, chopped macrophytes, crop plants, macrophytes litters, etc. The recommended optimum C:N ratios for CW and bioreactor are 4.0:5.0 and 1.8:3.0, respectively. The physical and biological pretreatments are selected to supply organic carbon for long-term denitrification.     

Adsorption of ammonium on biochar prepared from giant reed

Giant reed was used as precursor for making biochar in order for the adsorption of NH₄ ⁺–N from aqueous solution. And the adsorption of the product to NH₄ ⁺–N was examined. The surface features of biochar were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns showed several peaks and correspond to the high amount of crystalline material. The crystals contain KCl, K₂O, CaO, MgO, and SiO and possess high surface area which enhances adsorption. The influence of different parameters such as initial concentration, adsorption time, pH, and ionic strength has been carried out. The adsorption could reach equilibrium through 24 h reaction and had the best adsorption amount at the solution pH values from 7 to 9. The cation has great influence on the adsorption of NH₄ ⁺–N, whereas the anion exerted a weaker effect. The adsorption followed pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. And the intraparticle diffusion and desorption studies further elucidated that the mechanism of adsorption on the product was ion exchange. The product equilibrium data was well described by the Langmuir and Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 1.490 mg/g. Biochar derived from giant reed at 500 °C was suggested as a promising adsorbent for the removal of NH₄ ⁺–N from slightly polluted wastewater.     

土壤外源Sb(Ⅲ)的老化对其形态和跳虫(Folsomia candida)毒性的影响

老化是影响土壤重金属生物可利用性和毒性的重要因素。为了解老化对土壤Sb形态和毒性的影响,结合化学分析和生物测试,以模式生物跳虫(Folsomia candida)为受试生物,研究了北京潮土中外源Sb(Ⅲ)分别老化7 d、60 d后价态、水溶态和急性/慢性毒性的变化。结果表明,老化仅7 d后,土壤较低浓度的Sb主要以Sb(Ⅴ)存在,而浓度较高(1 600、2 400、4 800 mg·kg-1)时Sb(Ⅴ)分别仅占47.4%、27.5%和2.2%,但老化长达60 d后,浓度最高(4 800 mg·kg-1)的土壤中Sb(Ⅴ)的比重上升到38.1%,其他浓度处理的土壤中,均以Sb(Ⅴ)为主。随着老化时间的延长,土壤中水溶态Sb含量占总Sb的比例显著降低。与土壤老化过程中毒性较大的Sb(Ⅲ)向毒性较小的Sb(Ⅴ)转化与水溶态Sb含量下降相一致,Sb对跳虫的毒性随老化时间的延长明显减弱:7 d老化后土壤Sb对跳虫急性存活的半数致死浓度(LC50)为2 105 mg·kg-1,对跳虫慢性存活的LC50为683 mg·kg-1,对跳虫繁殖的半数效应浓度(EC50)为307 mg·kg-1;老化60 d后土壤Sb对跳虫急性存活、慢性存活的LC50均大于设置的最高浓度,对跳虫繁殖的EC50为1 419 mg·kg-1。因此,对于Sb这种变价金属而言,当进行土壤Sb生态毒性评价时,为避免高估其生态风险,考虑老化作用显得尤为重要。

Effects of the inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase multi-enzyme complex on hydrogen production by fermentative microbes

The redox state of carbon sources directly affected the ratio of NADH/NAD⁺ which was coupled to the hydrogen production by Bacillus sp. FS2011. The addition of the inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase multi-enzyme complex (PDHc)E1 could regulate hydrogen production by FS2011 or pretreated compost in batch cultivation. With the addition of appropriate amount of inhibitor, hydrogen production via the NADH pathway was increased, leading to the higher overall hydrogen production. The maximum hydrogen yields of 307.6 ± 13.21 mL/g by FS2011 with the inhibitor of 80 ppm and 362.1 ± 10.1 mL/g by pretreated compost with the inhibitor of 60 ppm were observed, which were increased by 8.7% and 17.8% compared with the controls, respectively. Meanwhile the production of soluble metabolic byproducts such as butyrate, acetate and so on were decreased, resulting in reducing the difficulty of wastewater treatment.
