负荷交替法快速培养好氧硝化颗粒污泥的研究

在3个SBR(R1、R2、R3)中分别培养好氧硝化颗粒污泥,R1和R2分别采用进水氮负荷交替变化和进水碳氮负荷同步交替变化这2种新的培养方式,R3采用传统的逐步提高氮负荷法.对R1、R2和R3培养得到的硝化颗粒污泥在物理性状、污染物去除效能等方面进行对比分析.结果表明,R1和R2的培养方式明显缩短了培养时间,70 d左右成功培养出完全意义上的硝化颗粒(硝化菌的活性超过异养菌的活性),而R3需147 d.采用进水碳氮负荷同步交替变化法快速培养出的颗粒外形更规则、硝化菌活性更高、脱氮性能更优,稳定运行时氨氮和总氮去除率分别为95%和70%左右,在理化性状和脱氮性能上明显优于其他2种.对比发现,在硝化颗粒污泥培养初期,适当提高进水有机负荷,能加快颗粒的形成及生长.     

Meeting emission targets under uncertainty—the case of Finnish non-emission-trading sector

The European Union (EU) has set a target to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at least 10 % below the 2005 levels by 2020 in the non-Emission Trading Sector (non-ETS). As part of this, each Member State has a binding national emission limitation target for the non-ETS sector. Finland’s target, examined as a case study in this paper, is to reduce emissions at least 16 % below 2005 levels by 2020. The objective of this study is to find cost optimal mitigation portfolios that meet Finland’s reduction target and to analyze the risks of not attaining the emission target or exceeding the assumed costs. The question was addressed with a stochastic optimization model, Stochastic Optimization of non-ETS Emissions (SONETS) selecting separate mitigation measures that meet the target on expectation. The results show that optimal portfolios include relatively high uncertainty both in costs and achieved reductions. The prices of crude oil and diesel, and the abatement cost of reducing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions seem to account for the majority of uncertainty regarding total costs. The baseline predictions for various non-ETS subsectors (such as transport and agriculture) were found to have the greatest contribution to the uncertainty of attaining emission target. The results also show that some abatement actions are chosen in nearly all efficient portfolios, while other actions are seldom chosen. For example replacing oil burners in the end of technical life time or recovery of methane (CH₄) from waste are often chosen whereas ban of landfilling of organic waste is chosen extremely seldom. It also seems that the results are somewhat sensitive to the inclusion or exclusion of the interdependencies of mitigation measures.
