Biostability in distribution systems in one city in southern China：Characteristics, modeling and control strategy

This study investigated the bacterial regrowth in drinking water distribution systems receiving finished water from an advanced drinking water treatment plant in one city in southem China. Thirteen nodes in two water supply zones with different aged pipelines were selected to monitor water temperature, dissolved oxygen （DO）, chloramine residual, assimilable organic carbon （AOC）, and heterotrophic plate counts （HPC）. Regression and principal component analyses indicated that HPC had a strong correlation with chloramine residual. Based on Chick-Watson＇s Law and the Monod equation, biostability curves under different conditions were developed to achieve the goal of HPC 100 CFU/mL. The biostability curves could interpret the scenario under various AOC concentrations and predict the required chloramine residual concentration under the condition of high AOC level. The simulation was also carded out to predict the scenario with a stricter HPC goal （≤50 CFU/mL） and determine the required chloramine residual. The biological regrowth control strategy was assessed using biostability curve analysis. The results indicated that maintaining high chloramine residual concentration was the most practical way to achieve the goal of HPC ≤ 100 CFU/mL. Biostability curves could be a very useful tool for biostability control in distribution systems. This work could provide some new insights towards biostability control in real distribution systems.     

Fast increasing of surface ozone concentrations in Pearl River Delta characterized by a regional air quality monitoring network during 2006-2011

Based on the observation by a Regional Air Quality Monitoring Network including 16 monitoring stations, temporal and spatial variations of ozone(O3), NO2and total oxidant(Ox) were analyzed by both linear regression and cluster analysis. A fast increase of regional O3concentrations of 0.86 ppbV/yr was found for the annual averaged values from 2006 to 2011 in Guangdong, China. Such fast O3increase is accompanied by a correspondingly fast NOx reduction as indicated by a fast NO2 reduction rate of 0.61 ppbV/yr. Based on a cluster analysis, the monitoring stations were classified into two major categories – rural stations(non-urban) and suburban/urban stations. The O3concentrations at rural stations were relatively conserved while those at suburban/urban stations showed a fast increase rate of 2.0 ppbV/yr accompanied by a NO2 reduction rate of 1.2 ppbV/yr. Moreover, a rapid increase of the averaged O3 concentrations in springtime(13%/yr referred to 2006 level) was observed, which may result from the increase of solar duration, reduction of precipitation in Guangdong and transport from Eastern Central China. Application of smog production algorithm showed that the photochemical O3production is mainly volatile organic compounds(VOC)-controlled. However, the photochemical O3production is sensitive to both NOx and VOC for O3pollution episode. Accordingly, it is expected that a combined NOx and VOC reduction will be helpful for the reduction of the O3 pollution episodes in Pearl River Delta while stringent VOC emission control is in general required for the regional O3 pollution control.

怎样变信息为企业治污压力

污染控制的障碍到底是什么？这不只是一个技术问题或者资金问题．最核心的问题还是缺乏动力。这个动力原本应该源自严格的执法。源自司法介入的环境诉讼,但是我国现在还不具备这些。从国际经验看,环境保护需要广泛的社会参与,除了政府监管,包括立法、司法、环保行政部门的作为．还有市场手段和公众参与。在西方国家,司法手段可以起到非常重要的作用。而我国环境司法系统还需要进一步完善,这会是一个相当艰难和漫长的过程。     

车载净化器能吹来好空气？

室外空气不好,也影响车内空气质量,不少车主安装车载空气净化器来抵抗雾霾侵袭,希望以此降低车内PM2.5污染。 市场上销售的大部分车载空气净化器都声称具有除甲醛、去异味、除PM2.5等功能。专家指出,大部分车载空气净化器由于受功率等因素制约,去除PM2.5的功能有限,效果不如车载空调的内循环系统。     

湿式静电除尘技术研究及应用

燃煤烟气细颗粒物排放的高效控制是控制雾霾天气的重要手段之一,为此国家颁布了世界上最严格的标准之一:《火电厂大气污染物排放标准》(GB13223-2011),要求火电厂粉尘排放浓度低于30 mg/m3,重点地区低于20 mg/m3。干式静电除尘器由于反电晕和二次扬尘等问题,对亚微米级颗粒物脱除效率较低,难以完全满足新标准的要求。湿式静电除尘技术(WESP)通过水膜清灰方式代替振打清灰,可有效控制湿法脱硫塔后细颗粒物的排放,实现燃煤烟气细颗粒物的深度脱除。该文详细阐述了湿式静电除尘器在粉尘脱除效率、材料润湿、抗腐蚀特性及多种污染物协同脱除等方面的最新研究进展,重点介绍了湿式静电除尘技术在燃煤电厂中的应用现状,并在此基础上对我国湿式静电除尘技术的发展做了总结和展望。     

雌激素污染对水体微生物产甲烷功能的影响

针对目前水体环境雌激素的污染形势严峻,且其对水体功能性微生物群落影响规律及机理不明等问题,选择典型天然雌激素——17β-雌二醇(E2)为主要研究对象,构建实验室厌氧水体微生态系统,分析E2污染对厌氧水体微生物活性和产甲烷功能的影响规律。结果表明,在厌氧条件下,E2污染对水体微生物群体的活性存在显著的抑制效应,对水体甲烷的产生速率亦存在规律性的影响。当水体E2浓度≤0.5 ng/L时,对水体微生物的产甲烷活性存在促进作用。当E2浓度≥1.0 ng/L时,E2污染对水体微生物的产甲烷活性存在明显的抑制效应,且随着E2浓度的升高抑制作用增强。因此,厌氧条件下,微量E2污染会影响水体微生物活性和产甲烷效应的变化,从而对水体自净功能和甲烷释放产生影响。
