Significance of iron compounds in chemical and electro‐oxidation treatment of sugar industry wastewater: Batch reaction

Industrialization plays a major role in a nation's growth. However, with an increase in industrial activities, pollution levels are also increasing. Among all industries, the sugar‐processing industry is one that requires large amounts of water to process the sugar, and, consequently, it discharges large amounts of water as effluent. Highly polluted wastewater brings changes to the physicochemical characteristics of the surrounding environment. Iron compounds have had a significant impact when they are used in wastewater treatment in various applications, including when they are used to minimize the pollution levels in sugar industry wastewater (SIWW). To minimize the pollutant levels from SIWW, iron compounds have been key for uses in treatments involving chemical and electro‐oxidation. Two different methodologies of electrocoagulation and chemical coagulation have been used to treat SIWW. In electrocoagulation, an iron plate is used as an electrode material under specific operating conditions. Ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride have been used as chemical coagulants at various pH and mass loading levels. The use of iron metals shows an 82% reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and an 84% reduction in color at the optimum condition of pH 6, an electrode distance of 20 millimeters, and a current density of 156 square centimeters. As a chemical coagulant, iron salt (ferrous sulfate) provides a reduction of 77% COD and a 91% reduction of color at pH 6 and a 40‐millimole mass loading. Electrochemical treatment using iron was found to be suitable to treat SIWW. The sludge generated after treatment can be burned or composted with the possible recovery of some of the treatment costs.

全球大气硫循环及区域交叉影响

二氧化硫和硫酸盐是硫的重要存在形式,是影响环境空气质量的重要大气污染物.硫酸盐气溶胶是影响全球气候变化的重要大气组分,大气中的硫酸盐气溶胶生命周期短,其浓度空间差异大、时间变化显著.在区域尺度乃至全球尺度研究其迁移转化和区域交叉影响,具有十分重要的科学意义.本研究以2010年SO_2全球排放清单为基础,应用国际通用大气化学模式(Mozart-4),模拟全球大气硫的迁移转化及其季节变化和空间分布特征,并分析全球不同区域间的交叉影响.结果表明:1SO_2柱浓度全球年均值为424.73μg S·m~(-2),中东及南亚最高,达3629.27μg S·m~(-2),南美最低,为181.06μg S·m~(-2).2硫酸盐柱浓度全球年均值为1572.86μg S·m~(-2),东亚年均硫酸盐柱浓度最高,达4556.58μg S·m~(-2),南美最低,为1014.33μg S·m~(-2).3冬季SO_2柱浓度高于其他春夏秋3季,夏季硫酸盐柱浓度高于冬季,主要是由于冬季低温使SO_2不易转化为硫酸盐.4硫酸盐表现出明显的全球迁移特征,全球各区域间交叉影响显著.东亚的净输出量最大,达4.01 Tg S·a~(-1).非洲、中亚及俄罗斯硫酸盐柱浓度的外源影响比例分别高达80.54%和73.00%.

Advanced treatment of wet-spun acrylic fiber manufacturing wastewater using three-dimensional electrochemical oxidation

A three-dimensional electrochemical oxidation(3D-EC) reactor with introduction of activated carbon(AC) as particle micro-electrodes was applied for the advanced treatment of secondary wastewater effluent of a wet-spun acrylic fiber manufacturing plant. Under the optimized conditions(current density of 500 A/m~2, circulation rate of 5 mL/min, AC dosage of 50 g, and chloride concentration of 1.0 g/L), the average removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand(COD_(cr)), NH3–N, total organic carbon(TOC), and ultraviolet absorption at 254 nm(UV_(254)) of the 3D-EC reactor were 64.5%, 60.8%, 46.4%, and 64.8%, respectively; while the corresponding effluent concentrations of COD_(cr), NH_3–N, TOC, and UV_(254) were 76.6, 20.1, and42.5 mg/L, and 0.08 Abs/cm, respectively. The effluent concentration of COD_(cr) was less than 100 mg/L, which showed that the treated wastewater satisfied the demand of the integrated wastewater discharge standard(GB 8978-1996). The 3D-EC process remarkably improved the treatment efficiencies with synergistic effects for COD_(cr), NH_3–N, TOC, and UV_(254) during the stable stage of 44.5%, 38.8%, 27.2%, and 10.9%, respectively, as compared with the sum of the efficiencies of a two-dimensional electrochemical oxidation(2D-EC) reactor and an AC adsorption process, which was ascribed to the numerous micro-electrodes of AC in the 3D-EC reactor. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry(GC–MS) analysis revealed that electrochemical treatment did not generate more toxic organics, and it was proved that the increase in acute biotoxicity was caused primarily by the production of free chlorine.     

胜坨油田原油温室气体排放特征及其影响因素

为研究油田开发过程中原油在大气条件下的碳排放特征,完善油气系统潜在温室气体排放清单,以胜利油田典型区块——胜坨油田原油为研究对象,通过改进的静态室-气相色谱及质谱法对原油在大气条件下的自然脱气(排放)过程进行模拟试验研究. 结果表明:CH₄和CO₂是胜坨油田原油溶解气中的两种主要温室气体;将模拟时间(48 h)均分为4个时段,CH₄、CO₂的主要排放阶段为0~12 h,并且其排放量远高于>12~24、>24~36和>36~48 h,其中,不同温度下CH₄、CO₂的最大排放率均出现在0~2 h. 原油在空气中暴露时间的长短及所处大气温度的高低直接影响温室气体的累积排放,CH₄、CO₂的累积排放量均随模拟试验的进行而递增;原油所处环境温度越高,累积排放量越大,3 ℃时CH₄、CO₂的累积排放量分别为12.498、15.071 g/m3,13 ℃时为20.626、21.004 g/m3,27 ℃时为31.353、26.954 g/m3. CH₄、CO₂在不同温度下的相对排放量存在差异,表现为低温(3、13 ℃)条件下CH₄排放量低于CO₂,相对高温(27 ℃)条件下表现相反. 研究显示,原油所处大气环境的温度及暴露时间是影响原油温室气体排放的重要因素.      

南京2007年12月持续雾霾过程的大气消光特性

2007年南京冬季雾外场综合试验期间,雾、霾交替持续的最长时间达100 h以上。利用大气气溶胶粒子和雾滴数浓度尺度谱分布、能见度、相对湿度等同步观测资料,从Mie散射理论出发,研究了雾、霾不同阶段大气消光特征,重点分析了大气气溶胶粒子和雾滴在雾、霾持续和转化过程中的消光作用。结果表明,雾、霾过程不同阶段平均能见度的大小关系为：雾<湿霾<霾~轻雾。平均而言,雾阶段雾滴和气溶胶粒子的消光作用相当,其中,雾滴消光波动幅度大于气溶胶粒子消光,能见度的变化趋势主要由雾滴的消光决定。湿霾、霾和轻雾阶段的消光主要由气溶胶粒子造成。湿霾阶段的低能见度是由于大量积聚模态的气溶胶粒子在较高相对湿度环境中吸湿增长所致。霾阶段气溶胶粒子数浓度达到最大,核模态粒子占总数浓度的80%左右,是导致该阶段能见度较低的主要原因。轻雾阶段气溶胶粒子的消光系数最小,但雾滴可提供10%~15%的消光贡献,导致能见度与霾阶段相当。

热解析-脉冲低温等离子体集成系统脱汞研究

热解析-脉冲低温等离子体集成处理系统是专门针对典型含汞废物安全处置而开发的,可以同时有效控制汞等多种复合气体污染物。通过检测热解炉后烟气中和等离子体反应器入口、出口气体中Hg0和Hg2+浓度,研究汞的价态转化及添加剂对脱汞效果的影响。结果表明:热解烟气中Hg2+/HgT为17%~45%,Hg0/HgT为55%~83%,热解温度主要影响汞价态分布,WMC添加量主要影响汞浓度值;加入添加剂会促进汞的脱除,但添加剂过量不利于汞的氧化;热解炉中添加50 g WMC和5 g升华硫添加剂时,反应器内Hg0氧化率和总汞损失率分别可达55%和42%。该研究可以为探索新型含汞废物处置工艺,实现含汞废物深度净化提供新思路。
