Challenges and opportunities of a post-Kyoto mitigation regime: a survey of the European electricity sector

This paper empirically shows how the uncertainty associated to the absence of a mitigation regime which follows the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Kyoto Protocol (UN FCCC Kyoto Protocol) is affecting investments in abatement activities in the EU electricity sector and, thus, future emissions levels. Based on a survey of EU electric utilities, it identifies the most likely post-Kyoto scenarios considered by them and how they are coping with such uncertainty in their investment decisions. It is found that firms react differently to such uncertainty and adopt different strategies to cope with it, diversifying their emissions control activities. Although most companies foresee post-Kyoto compliance regimes with emissions trading systems, they differ in their perceptions of the form that a post-Kyoto regime could take and are, thus, positioning differently to face such regime. The particular features of each company and the country where they operate affect their perception of the uncertainties, their position regarding a possible post-Kyoto regime and their inclination to carry out mitigation activities. Complying with Kyoto (and, eventually, post-Kyoto) targets significantly influences the investment decisions of European electricity companies. Uncertainty about a post-Kyoto regime may already be affecting investments in mitigation activities in the electricity sector. Therefore, significant progress has to be made in the definition of a post-Kyoto regime. It is urgent to define and agree internationally the emissions reduction objectives and the mitigation instruments that will be accepted for compliance, ensuring continuity of the international emissions trading system foreseen in the Kyoto Protocol.

无铅焊料合金中重金属元素浸出行为的研究

选用Sn.3.5Ag-0.5Cu、Sn-3.5Ag、Sn-0.5Cu无铅焊料合金及它们与Cu的钎焊接头,研究了它们在典型的酸性、碱性和盐溶液中的重金属元素的浸出规律.结果表明,焊料合金中的主要浸出元素Sn在酸性或碱性溶液中的浸出量都不是太多,而在NaCl盐溶液中浸出量增大2个数量级.制备成钎焊接头后,在酸性环境中,Sn-3.5Ag和Sn.0.5Cu钎焊接头中Sn的浸出量增加1个数量级以上,而在NaOH碱性环境中.Sn-3.5Ag-0.5Cu钎焊接头中Sn的浸出量相对较高.该结果对电子垃圾填埋环境选择及相关决策提供了参考.     

污水再生处理絮凝工艺去除病原性原虫的机制分析

通过考察在不同的絮凝剂种类、投加量、pH和温度等操作条件下隐孢子虫和贾第鞭毛虫(以下简称"两虫")的去除特性,探讨了污水深度处理絮凝工艺去除病原性原虫的作用机制.研究发现,污水经絮凝处理后,水样中胶体的平均ζ电位与2种荧光微球(两虫替代物)去除率和剩余浊度的线性相关度不高(R:0.49、0.48、0.65);而2种荧光微球之间的去除率线性相关性较高(R=0.99),并且与水样剩余浊度的变化趋势呈一定的指数相关关系(R=0.92、0.95).因此,在本研究的各种絮凝工况下.卷扫网捕是去除病原性原虫和浊度的重要作用机制.在相同操作条件下,贾第鞭毛虫的去除率大于隐孢子虫.     

基于技术的水泥工业大气颗粒物排放清单

针对我国水泥工业的生产技术及生产过程中的大气颗粒物排放控制技术分类,建立了一个基于技术、自下而上的大气颗粒物排放模型.通过分析我国水泥工业不同生产工艺所占比重的历史变化趋势,以及不同时期水泥工业大气颗粒物控制标准的影响,利用此模型计算了1990-2004年全国水泥工业大气颗粒物的排放系数和排放量.我国水泥工业的大气颗粒物的排放系数由1990年的27.9 kg·t-1水泥下降至2004年的8.05 kg·t-1水泥;大气颗粒物排放量自1990年起逐年增加,于1997年达到最高值l 044×104t,其中PM10排放量为716 X 104 t,PM2 5排放量为436×104t;此后逐年降低,到2001年后又有缓慢增加.我国水泥工业大气颗粒物排放量的地理分布很不均衡,山东、广东、河北、江苏、浙江和河南的排放量超过了全国总排放量的50%.新型干法水泥生产线替代立窑生产线的进程以及2004年<水泥工业大气污染物排放标准>的颁布将很可能大幅降低我国水泥工业的大气颗粒物排放量,从而在很大程度上影响我国的大气颗粒物污染特征.     

缺氧活性污泥对17β-雌二醇的吸附与降解研究

试验用缺氧活性污泥降解17a-雌二醇,降解过程中,同时测定17a-雌二醇在水相与泥相上的浓度,考察厂缺氧活性污泥对17a-雌二醇的吸附等温线与降解动力学,并研究了温度和电子受体NO3--N浓度对吸附与降解的影响.结果表明,缺氧活性污泥对17a-雌二醇的降解是在泥中进行,水中不直接降解,泥中物质浓度降低后再吸附水中物质,反应是一个动态的吸附降解平衡过程.17a-雌二醇初始浓度为5～15 ìg/L时,2 h内能完全降解.缺氧降解符合一级反应动力学:降解过程中,17a-雌二醇在缺氧活性污泥上的吸附既符合Freundlich模型又符合线性吸附模型.温度对17a-雌二醇的吸附与降解有很大影响,温度升高反应速率常数增加,但分配系数降低.10、20、30℃条件下.其降解速率常数分别为2.411、3.045、3.527 h-1;分配系数kd分别为540.9、460.4、396.9 L/kg.NO3--N浓度(10～30 mg/L)的变化影响17a-雌二醇的缺氧降解,减少或增加NO3--N浓度.降解速率常数降低的最大变幅约20%.

在分析垂直潜流人工湿地不同高度有机物去除率及其形态变化的基础上,推求出各形态有机物在垂向沿程的平均去除速率,建立了进水浓度和进水水力负荷规律曲线.结果表明.在本实验条件下.垂直潜流人工湿地中有机物的去除主要集中在布水管至布水管下10 cm的基质层内,进水水力负荷越小,该基质层内有机物的去除率也越高;在以粗砂作为垂直潜流人工湿地的基质、进水水力负荷≤0.5 m3/(m2·d)的条件下,垂直潜流人工湿地对有机物去除的有效高度为60 cm;布水管下10 cm基质层不同类型有机物的平均降解速率都处于最大,随着垂向沿程深度的增加.各类型有机物的平均降解速率都呈较大幅度递减趋势;以砂子为基质的垂直潜流人工湿地进水浓度和进水水力负荷规律曲线可表示为(Cin-Cou)×q=1107.02-2.96 Cin× q.

Estimation and comparison of night-time OH levels in the UK urban atmosphere using two di erent analysis methods

Night-time OH levels have been determined for UK urban surface environments using two methods, the decay and steady state approximation methods. Measurement data from the UK National Environmental Technology Centre archive for four urban sites (Bristol, Harwell, London Eltham and Edinburgh) over the time period of 1996 to 2000 have been used in this study. Three reactive alkenes, namely isoprene, 1,3-butadiene and trans-2-pentene were chosen for the calculation of OH levels by the decay method. Hourly measurements of NO, NO2, O3, CO and 20 VOCs were used to determine night-time OH level using the steady state approximation method. Our results showed that the night-time OH levels were in the range of 1 105–1 106 molecules/cm3 at these four urban sites in the UK. The application of a t-test of these analyses indicated that except Bristol, there was no significant di erence between the OH levels found from the decay and steady state approximation methods. Night-time levels of the OH radical appeared to peak in summer and spring time tracking the night-time O3 levels which also passed through a maximum at this time.
