陕南水镁石纤维的环境安全性评估

纤维水镁石在动物体内有一定的生物活性,但在人群流行性病学结果上显示的一系列信息如接尘工人只出现低的尘肺患病率,没有矽肺病和Ⅲ期尘肺患者。溶解性试验结果表明：水镁石纤维粉尘极易溶解在有机无机强弱酸、混合酸、有机无机铵盐、缓冲溶液中,也可部分溶于水中,导致其在体内滞留时间短且易于清除。说明水镁石纤维是安全的纤维材料且没有致瘤协同作用,由于矿物的表面/界面特征是除纤维特性以外控制纤维生物活性和危害性的关键因素之一,提出了矿物粉尘环境安全评价分类体系应突破矿物种的局限而深入到表面/界面的水平。     

上海市能源消费CO2排放清单与碳流通图

基于上海市能源统计数据,参照IPCC(2006)方法,测算了上海市能源CO2排放清单,并绘制了2007年上海市碳流通图.结果表明,上海市能源相关的CO2排放总量从1995年的1.10亿t增长到2007年的2.01亿t,期间年均增长率为5.0%.其中“交通”对应的CO2排放量增长最为迅速,年均增长率达15.1%;而“热电厂”的CO2排放量增幅逐渐变缓,其原因为近年上海市外来电力比重增大.2007年“热电厂”、“工业与建筑业”、“交通”、“商业”、“居民生活”与“农业”各部分CO2排放分担率分别为35.4%、34.4%、23.8%、4.0%、2.0%、0.4%.由2007年上海市碳流通图可见,15.6%的煤炭直接由终端使用,这不利于能源效率的提高与污染物的减排;成品油存在较多的交叉流通,若能够减少不必要的流通,不但能够缓解成品油的运输,还能够减少其在转运过程中的输配损失.     

基于机器学习的大气PM2.5中金属浓度预测模型的研究

基于2013—2018年哈尔滨市气象数据、大气污染物数据和细颗粒物（PM_2.5）中金属成分数据,采用机器学习方法探索大气PM_2.5中金属浓度预测模型,并选择最优模型进行污染物浓度预测。结果表明,多元线性回归（MLR）、人工神经网络（BP-ANN）、支持向量机（SVM）和随机森林（RF）4种模型中,RF对大气PM_2.5中5种金属［锑（Sb）、砷（As）、铅（Pb）、镉（Cd）、铊（Tl）］的浓度预测效果最佳,在训练集和测试集中表现均较稳定,其中相关系数（r）均＞0.7, 平均绝对误差（MAE）和均方根误差（RMSE）数值较小。RF在大气PM_2.5中金属浓度预测上具有较好的表现,可在缺乏监测和实验数据的情况下,实现对大气颗粒物中金属浓度的快速预测,为全面了解颗粒物中金属污染特征提供数据基础。     

成都城区PM2.5季节污染特征及来源解析

于2009—2010年各季节典型月在成都城区采集了大气PM_2.5样品,对PM_2.5的质量浓度及其主要化学成分(含碳组分、水溶性无机离子和元素)进行了测定. 结果显示:成都城区PM_2.5平均质量浓度高达(165.1±85.1)μg·m^-3,是国家环境空气质量标准年均PM_2.5限值的4.7倍. OC、EC和水溶性二次离子(SO₄^2-,NO₃^-和NH₄⁺)的平均浓度分别为(22.6±10.2)μg·m^-3,(9.0±5.4)μg·m^-3和(62.8±44.3)μg·m^-3,分别占PM_2.5浓度的13.7%、5.5%和38.0%. PM_2.5及其主要化学成分浓度季节特征明显,即秋冬季高于春夏季. 利用正交矩阵因子分析(PMF)对成都城区PM_2.5的来源进行解析,结果表明,土壤尘及扬尘、生物质燃烧、机动车源和二次硝酸盐/硫酸盐的贡献率分别为14.3%、28.0%、24.0%和31.3%. 就季节变化而言,生物质燃烧源贡献率在四个季节均维持在较高水平;土壤尘及扬尘的贡献率在春季显著提高;机动车源的贡献率在夏季中表现突出;而二次硝酸盐/硫酸盐的贡献率在秋冬季中则最为显著.     

大庆库里泡浮游植物群落时空变化及其与环境因子的相关性

库里泡是黑龙江省大庆市重要的排污、泄洪湖库之一。近年来,由于大庆市生活及工业污水排放总量逐年增加,库里泡水体质量有所下降。为掌握库里泡浮游植物群落结构特征及水环境状况,于2019年春、夏、秋3季在库里泡共设置了13个采样点,对浮游植物群落及其与水环境变量的相关关系进行了研究。利用群落相似性分析(ANOSIM)检验浮游植物群落的组间及组内差异;采用相似性百分比(SIMPER)分析辨别对群落时空格局有显著影响的物种;通过冗余分析(RDA)确认环境变量及浮游植物优势种的生态分布特征,并对主要影响因子进行辨别。结果显示:研究期间共鉴定出浮游植物106种,隶属于6门8纲13目23科49属。库里泡的浮游植物群落组成为绿藻-硅藻型,而蓝藻、隐藻、甲藻、裸藻种类相对较少,占比仅为25%。其中,优势种有15种,主要为狭形纤维藻(Ankistrodesmus angustus)、四尾栅藻(Scenedesmus quadricauda)和梅尼小环藻(Cyclotella meneghiniana)等。ANOSIM和SIMPER分析结果表明,季节差异和生境差异对库里泡浮游植物群落结构的构建具有一定的驱动作用。RDA结果表明,影响库里泡浮游植物群落时空格局的主要环境变量为水温、总磷和总氮。营养状态指数评价结果显示,库里泡水质为中度富营养。经与近10年间的库里泡相关研究对比发现,库里泡水体浮游植物群落结构较为稳定,浮游植物优势类群略有改变。     

成都市PM10中多环芳烃来源识别及毒性评估

对成都市2009年冬夏两季可吸入颗粒物(PM10)中16种多环芳烃(PAHs)含量进行了研究,并进一步分析其空间分布、组成特征及来源.结果表明,16种PAHs中15种被普遍检出(Nap未检出),冬季和夏季的ΣPAHs浓度范围分别为40.25~150.68ng/m3和44.51~71.16ng/m3,平均浓度分别为88.36ng/m3和64.21ng/m3.空间分析表明,PAHs浓度在工业区较高,背景点较低.从PAHs组分分析结果显示,低环含量较低,4~6环所占比例较大,其比例范围为86.7%~96.1%.各组分含量季节差异不明显.利用特征化合物比值法、等级聚类法、PCA解析法分析了污染源类型,结果表明成都市PM10中PAHs的主要来源是机动车尾气排放源,以及煤与木材燃烧源.通过BaP当量(BaPE)进行了毒性评估,结果显示成都市冬夏两季的BaPE均值分别为13.41ng/m3和9.54ng/m3.

An integrated method for the rapid dewatering and solidification/stabilization of dredged contaminated sediment with a high water content

• An integrated method, called PHDVPSS, was proposed for treating DCS. • The PHDVPSS method showed superior performance compared to conventional method. • Using the method, water content (%) of DCS decreased from 300 to<150 in 3 days. • The 56-day UCS from this method is 12‒17 times higher than conventional method. • Relative to PC, GGBS-MgO binder yielded greater reduction in the leachability. To more efficiently treat the dredged contaminated sediment (DCS) with a high water content, this study proposes an integrated method (called PHDVPSS) that uses the solidifying/stabilizing (S/S) agents and prefabricated horizontal drain (PHD) assisted by vacuum pressure (VP). Using this method, dewatering and solidification/stabilization can be carried out simultaneously such that the treatment time can be significantly shortened and the treatment efficacy can be significantly improved. A series of model tests was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results indicated that the proposed PHDVPSS method showed superior performance compared to the conventional S/S method that uses Portland cement (PC) directly without prior dewatering. The 56-day unconfined compressive strength of DCS treated by the proposed method with GGBS-MgO as the binder is 12‒17 times higher than that by the conventional S/S method. DCS treated by the PHDVPSS method exhibited continuous decrease in leaching concentration of Zn with increasing curing age. The reduction of Zn leachability is more obvious when using GGBS-MgO as the binder than when using PC, because GGBS-MgO increased the residual fraction and decreased the acid soluble fraction of Zn. The microstructure analysis reveals the formation of hydrotalcite in GGBS-MgO binder, which resulted in higher mechanical strength and higher Zn stabilization efficiency.     

Novel perspective for urban water resource management: 5R generation

• 5R (Recover, Reduce, Recycle, Resource and Reuse) approaches to manage urban water. • 5R harvests storm water, gray water and black water in several forms. • 5R offers promise for moving solutions for urban water scarcity in practice. Demand for water is expanding with increases in population, particularly in urban areas in developing countries. Additionally, urban water system needs a novel perspective for upgradation with urbanization. This perspective presents a novel 5R approach for managing urban water resources: Recover (storm water), Reduce (toilet flushing water), Recycle (gray water), Resource (black water), and Reuse (advanced-treated wastewater). The 5R generation incorporates the latest ideas for harvesting storm water, gray water, and black water in its several forms. This paper has briefly demonstrated each R of 5R generation for water treatment and reuse. China has the chance to upgrade its urban water systems according to 5R principles. Already, a demonstration project of 5R generation has been installed in Qingdao International Horticultural Exposition, and Dalian International Convention Center (China) has applied 5R, achieving over 70% water saving. The 5R offers promise for moving solutions for urban water scarcity from “hoped for in the future” to “realistic today”.
