An energetic life cycle assessment of C&D waste and container glass recycling in Cape Town,South Africa

This study presents the results of a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) on the energy requirements and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission implications of recycling construction and demolition (C&D) rubble and container glass in Cape Town, South Africa. Cape Town is a medium sized city in a developing country with a growing population and a rising middle class, two factors that are resulting in increased generation of solid waste. The City is constrained in terms of landfill space and competing demands for municipal resources.The LCA assessment was based on locally gathered data, supplemented with ecoinvent life cycle inventory data modified to the local context. The results indicated that recycling container glass instead of landfilling can achieve an energy savings of 27% and a GHG emissions savings of 37%, with a net savings still being achieved even if collection practices are varied. The C&D waste results, however, showed net savings only for certain recycling strategies. Recycling C&D waste can avoid up to 90% of the energy and GHG emissions of landfilling when processed and reused onsite but, due to great dependence on haulage distances, a net reduction of energy use and GHG emissions could not be confidently discerned for offsite recycling. It was also found that recycling glass achieves significantly greater savings of energy and emissions than recycling an equivalent mass of C&D waste.The study demonstrated that LCA provides an important tool to inform decisions on supporting recycling activities where resources are limited. It also confirmed other researchers’ observations that strict adherence to the waste management hierarchy will not always result in the best environmental outcome, and that more nuanced analysis is required. The study found that the desirability of recycling from an energy and climate perspective cannot be predicted on the basis of whether such recycling conserves a non-renewable material. However, recycling that replaces a virgin product from an energy-intensive production process appears to be more robustly beneficial than recycling that replaces a product with little embodied energy. Particular caution is needed when applying the waste management hierarchy to the latter situations.     

土壤气抽提多井方案的数值模拟研究

以存在石油烃污染的北京市某加油站场地为研究对象,设计了土壤气抽提(SVE)原位修复系统,应用AIR3D软件对SVE作用下土壤包气带的气压场进行数值模拟.划定以土壤气压强低于或等于101.122kPa的区域为抽气影响区域.模拟结果显示,单井的抽气影响区域不能满足要求;多井抽气时,井间区域土壤气体真空度受多井共同作用,扩大了抽气的影响区域.抽气井不同布置情况下井间距大小对相互作用效果存在影响.研究发现,井间相互作用随着井间距的增大而减小,井间距存在临界值.井间距临界值与抽气井的布置形式相关.对于本研究中的2眼井、3眼井、4眼井情景,此临界值分别在3~5m、5~8m、8~10m区间.超过此临界值时井间相互作用将显著减弱,并导致抽气影响区域不能覆盖整个井间范围.     

抗滑桩加固三维多地层边坡最小势能稳定性分析

为了分析抗滑桩加固边坡的稳定性,基于最小势能原理,考虑桩土之间的相互作用和滑面储存的剪切势能,提出了抗滑桩加固多地层边坡的三维稳定性分析方法。将该方法与其他方法进行对比验证,并分析了抗滑桩相关参数对边坡稳定性的影响。结果表明:该方法是合理可行的;当抗滑桩位于边坡中部时,对边坡的稳定性更好;当抗滑桩的桩间距大于8 m时,抗滑桩间距的变化对边坡安全系数的影响较小。     

近岸海域多环芳烃生态系统动力学模型及生境影响

利用生态动力学模型Delf3D,对大连葫芦山湾海域多环芳烃(PAHs)在海洋中的理化及生态动力学过程进行耦合,并以大连葫芦山湾实际监测数据及相关文献资料为基础,确定了一套适用于该近岸海域PAHs生态动力学过程的特征参数,模拟研究了PAHs在近岸海域生态动力学过程.以浮游植物生长率作为指示近岸海域生态系统健康程度的指标,将PAHs含量的数值模拟结果与浮游植物生长率的动力学响应方程相拟合,定量的评估了PAHs对海洋生态系统的影响.结果显示:排污口选址于水深大、流速快、水动力强处,对PAHs污染物扩散、水质改善具有显著作用,反之造成PAHs大规模富集.PAHs富集作用对该湾生境影响较显著,湾顶水动力作用微弱,浮游生物生长率削减度高达18%.ArcGIS分析显示,浮游生物生长率削减程度与PAHs时空分布并不完全一致,体现海湾生态系统的动力复杂性与结构稳固性.     

Hydrogeochemical study of the drinking water from the Khaybar village,SW Saudi Arabia

This paper presents the results of chemical analysis of four drinking waters from the Khaybar village, SW Saudi Arabia. Four main water‐wells in the Khaybar village were investigated. The Khaybar ground water is clear without odour but its taste differs according to the amount of total dissolved solids (T.D.S.). The pH values of such water are slightly alkaline. T.D.S. of the Khaybar water is higher than the Saudi highest desired level, but it is generally within the Saudi maximum permissible level.

Good drinking quality water can be found in Al Mazaab and Al Tilah water‐wells in the Khaybar village. The other two water‐wells can be used for irrigation purposes only.

The geological features of the Khaybar area suggest a meteoric origin for the Khaybar ground water which has been stored in the fractured metamorphic and igneous rocks and in alluvial deposits.     

Hydrus-1D软件在地下水污染风险评价中的应用

以北京市东南郊再生水灌区为研究区域,应用Hydrus-1D软件构建水流、溶质运移模型,模拟再生水连续灌溉入渗过程中水流在包气带中的运动,并以再生水中的典型有机污染物多环芳烃萘、菲为研究对象,模拟其随灌溉水在包气带中的迁移衰减反应过程,结合MapGIS 6.7,将Hydrus-1D的点模拟结果应用于大面积、区域性的污染评价,通过与研究区地下水萘、菲的背景值进行对比,分级评估地下水污染风险.结果表明,经过50年连续灌溉后,再生水灌区整体地下水萘、菲污染风险较低,萘的污染风险高于菲,灌区内高污染风险区域主要位于凤港减河、红旗干渠与凤官沟交汇处以及东风干渠、永乐河与通大边沟之间.     

The role of environmental activity integration into the R&D department to obtain competitive advantage

The objective of this work is to examine to what degree the integration between R&D and environmental departments facilitates the achievement of an environmental practice-derived competitive advantage. With this aim, we surveyed 110 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 certified factories. The results reveal that the integration of environmental action into the R&D department enhances a company's reputation through the product quality and image. Moreover, the said integration positively influences the company's overall innovative capability and, hence, its ability to penetrate international markets.     

D201树脂对双组分萘系化合物的吸附分离

用D201强碱性阴离子交换树脂自双组分水溶液中选择吸附分离1-氨基-2-萘酚-4-磺酸(1,2,4-酸)和2-萘酚,考察了溶液pH值、浓度、温度、树脂床高及流速等因素对吸附和分离系数的影响.结果表明,在pH 3—6时,树脂对1,2,4-酸有较高的吸附量及吸附选择性,利于1,2,4-酸与2-萘酚的选择性吸附分离.温度对吸附的影响较小,等温吸附规律符合Freundlich模型.动态吸附表明,至1,2,4-酸的泄漏点时,吸附流出液中几乎只含2-萘酚,1,2,4-酸被吸附于树脂上.随着树脂床层的增长或初始浓度和流速的减小,都使泄漏点推迟及分离系数提高.载酚酸的树脂柱可用15%质量比的NH4Cl和20%体积比的乙醇混合液定量洗脱1,2,4-酸.     

高位巷瓦斯抽采下采空区自燃危险性数值分析及应用

针对大流量高位巷瓦斯抽采可能诱发采空区自燃问题,以南山矿18层5分段综放面为研究背景,构建采空区气体渗流分析模型。利用变渗透系数和Forchheimer方程,求解非线性流与层流并存下采空区三维氧气分布。结果表明:高位巷瓦斯抽采使工作面氧气更易沿漏风方向采空区纵深发展,氧化带总体宽度会随抽放流量的提高而增加。在进风侧氧气分布后移程度较小,而回风侧受抽放负压显著影响,出现明显氧气富集区。上下隅角封堵配合注氮,会降低抽放对氧气渗入的诱导影响。依据研究结论,利用综合防火措施消除了高位巷附近潜在的自燃危险。
