以活性嫩黄K-4G染料模拟废水为处理对象,探讨了多维电极系统处理活性染料废水时色度、COD降解的效果和机理。结果表明,活性炭多维电极法对染料废水的处理效果优于单纯电解法和单纯活性炭吸附法;氧化和还原作用对染料的色度和COD去除效果相差不大;增大处理系统中溶液的循环流量可显著改善活性炭多维电极系统对COD和色度的去除效果。     

两种类型的活性炭对Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附作用研究

分别用木炭和煤炭作为吸附剂,对Zn(Ⅱ)进行了吸附试验。虽然木炭的比表面积小于煤炭,但其对Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附作用明显优于煤炭。同时,溶液的pH对活性炭的吸附作用也有很大影响。在pH<7时,活性炭对Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附作用随着pH的增加而增加。     

洗毛废水的不同处理方法对活性炭吸附的影响

通过活性炭吸附2种不同处理方法处理后的洗毛废水,研究了活性炭的吸附容量和吸附机理。结果表明：活性炭吸附无机酸酸化处理后废水和高分子絮凝剂处理后废水中COD的吸附容量分别为：70mg／g和43mg／g。进一步研究发现,2种废水中废水中小分子组分和疏水性组分的含量差异是造成活性炭吸附效果差异的主要原因。

高锰酸钾-粉末活性炭工艺处理城市污水的实验研究

高锰酸钾-粉末活性炭工艺能有效去除微污染水源中的有机物、浊度、色度,该工艺具有操作简便、易控制、投资节省的特点。本文通过改变传统工艺中用聚合氯化铝做混凝剂的做法,选用硫酸铝做混凝剂,确定影响处理效果的因素,得出最佳实验条件。实验结果表明,（1）高锰酸钾-粉末活性炭工艺处理效果与试剂投加顺序有密切关系;（2）高锰酸钾-粉末活性炭处理工艺能显著改善水质,比单独使用粉末活性炭效果更好。     

印染废水治理方案分析

某针织印染厂年产3000吨针织高档服装布料,排放的生产废水中含有大量的有机物,COD、BOD5、色度浓度比较高。该厂选择了"厌氧水解酸化+接触氧化法+活性炭吸附"处理工艺。该工艺采用厌氧水解酸化处理工艺进行前期处理,去除大部分有机物,减轻了后续接触氧化处理工艺的压力,同时通过活性碳过滤进行脱色,达到较好的处理效果。运行结果表明,经该工艺处理后,废水中的COD、BOD5、色度等指标均能达标排放,有利于企业的可持续发展。     

A carbon footprint analysis in the textile supply chain

This research work focuses on the application of life-cycle assessment methodology to determine the carbon footprint of different players involved in a supply chain of the textile sector. A case study of a product by a textile leader company was carried out. This study demonstrates that, in the textile chain, the main contribution to the greenhouse effect is provided by the electrical and thermal energy used and by the transportation (since different production phases are delocalised in a wide range that goes from South Africa, Italy, Romania and all around the world, from the distribution centre to the stores). The Monte Carlo analysis has been used in order to obtain, for each calculated impact, not only the average value but also the distribution curve of the results characterised by uncertainty parameters. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the impact of management choices such as:

??a change in the transportation modality, from aeroplane to boat;

??a combination of road and rail transportation; and

??a selection among suppliers that allows the firm to cut environmental impacts.     

Applying CES to assembly and comparing carbon footprints

A Carbon Emission Signature (CES) and a Carbon Emission Label have been proposed for manufactured products in previous CIRP (Collège International pour la Recherche en Productique) annals. This paper considers two things: (1) an example of a CES calculation for assembly with CO₂ emissions and (2) the need for a transparent method of calculation. In comparing carbon footprint calculations for 17 websites, the results are found to vary more than threefold depending upon the site used and even more between different methods illustrating the need for standardisation in emission calculations for carbon accounting.     

SME application of LCA‐based carbon footprints

Following a brief introduction about the need for businesses to respond to climate change, this paper considers the development of the phrase ‘carbon footprint’. Widely used definitions are considered before the authors offer their own interpretation of how the term should be used. The paper focuses on the contribution small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) make to the economy and their level of influence in stimulating change within organisations. The experience of an outreach team from the Engineering Department of a UK university is used which draws on the experience of delivering regional economic growth projects funded principally through the European Regional Development Fund. Case studies are used including the development of bespoke carbon footprints for SMEs from an initiative delivered by the outreach team. Limitations of current carbon footprints are identified based on this higher education‐industry knowledge exchange mechanism around three main themes of scope, the assessment method and conversion factors. Evidence and discussions are presented that conclude with the presentation of some solutions based on the work undertaken with SMEs and a discussion on the merits of the two principally used methodologies: life‐cycle analysis and economic input–output assessment.     

The use of construction equipment productivity rate model for estimating fuel use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissionsCase study: bulldozer,excavator and dump truck

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission has drawn a great attention in recent years all over the world, and it plays a very important role in the process of global warming. The off-road equipment, which includes construction equipment, accounted for 7.5% emission of CO₂. The objective of this article is to propose a groundwork for a methodology that can be used to estimate the total fuel use and CO₂ emissions from construction equipment activities based on its productivity rate. Currently, there is not a methodology or technique for estimating productivity, fuel use and emissions at once. The multiple linear regression analysis has successfully modelled the productivity rate and good to be used as a benchmark for estimating fuel use and CO₂ emissions from various types of construction equipment performing earthwork activities. The proposed methodology will help the contractor to estimate the total expected pollutant emissions for the project, which would be valuable information for a preliminary environmental assessment of the project. By using construction plans and specifications, the methodology and tool presented in this research can be used to estimate cost, fuel use and emissions from commercial, residential, industrial or heavy highway. By the proposed approach, it is possible to develop new fuel use and emissions inventories for construction industry in general.
