Waste gasification vs. conventional Waste-to-Energy: a comparative evaluation of two commercial technologies

A number of waste gasification technologies are currently proposed as an alternative to conventional Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants. Assessing their potential is made difficult by the scarce operating experience and the fragmentary data available. After defining a conceptual framework to classify and assess waste gasification technologies, this paper compares two of the proposed technologies with conventional WtE plants. Performances are evaluated by proprietary software developed at Politecnico di Milano and compared on the basis of a coherent set of assumptions. Since the two gasification technologies are configured as “two-step oxidation” processes, their energy performances are very similar to those of conventional plants. The potential benefits that may justify their adoption relate to material recovery and operation/emission control: recovery of metals in non-oxidized form; collection of ashes in inert, vitrified form; combustion control; lower generation of some pollutants.

农作物空间格局反映了农作物种植结构和特征,是了解生产资源利用状况及进行农业结构调整的重要依据。研究旨在探索农作物播种面积统计数据空间化的方法,实现对历史农业统计数据的空间化表达。将传统的农业统计调查与先进的遥感技术、空间地理信息技术相结合,通过多元Logistic回归分析农作物格局与自然地理因素和社会经济因素之间的关系,构建农作物空间适宜性分布概率,在此基础上将农作物播种面积统计数据利用空间迭代分配方法,实现统计数据空间化的研究。论文选取中国东北三省作为方法研究区,实现了对该地区2000—2010年农作物播种面积空间化表达,经检验,该方法对东北三省水稻空间化精度为0.76,能够较好地完成农作物时空播种面积统计数据空间化工作。该方法是农作物调查和遥感时空格局解译研究的有效补充,为丰富农作物空间数据提供了技术手段。     

UV-B增强与秸秆施用对土壤-冬小麦系统CO2排放影响

通过大田试验,采用人工增强紫外辐射的方法模拟UV-B增强,应用静态箱-气相色谱法测定土壤-冬小麦系统的CO2排放通量,研究UV-B增强与秸秆施用对土壤-冬小麦系统CO2排放通量的影响.结果表明:UV-B增强与秸秆施用没有改变CO2排放通量的季节性变化规律.UV-B具有抑制效应,显著降低了拔节-孕穗期的CO2排放,降幅达15.48% (P=0.055).秸秆施用对CO2排放具有促进效应,使返青期和拔节 -孕穗期的CO2排放分别增加了59.52% (P=0.005)和13.10% (P=0.092).秸秆施用和UV-B增强处理增加了返青期的CO2排放,增幅为30.95% (P=0.083).对照、UV-B增强、秸秆施用和秸秆施用+UV-B增强4种处理的系统CO2排放与气温都存在极显著的指数关系 (P<0.01),拟合方程的决定系数R2分别为0.56,0.60,0.45和0.51,温度敏感系数Q10值分别为1.83,1.97,1.55和1.70.     

Modelling dynamics of soil organic matter under different historical land-use management techniques in European Russia

We have analyzed an influence of the traditional agricultural system techniques on the soil organic matter dynamics using the model of carbon and nitrogen cycling in forest ecosystems EFIMOD linked with the model of SOM dynamics ROMUL. Forest stands on the loamy soddy-podzolic soils (Alfisoils) located in the Central European Russia have been taken for the case study. The following land-use management scenarios were simulated: (a) slash-and-burn system with 3 years for crops and 120, 60 and 25 years for forest; (b) three-field crop rotation system with organic fertilization (dung) every 3 and 9 years and the same rotation without fertilization; and (c) short-term field-forest shifting system with 10 years for crops and 10 and 25 years for forest. Analysis of the results showed that the frequency of agricultural use in mixed field-forest land-use systems was crucial for soil organic matter dynamics. Under the short interval between agriculture, the stocks of all soil organic matter pools decreased. Under all scenarios except the three-field crop rotation with fertilization and the slash-and-burn system with 120 years for forest, a strong reduction of soil organic matter occurred after 30-130 years of the agricultural impacts. The highest reduction rates were modelled under the short-term field-forest shifting system and three-field rotation without fertilization. Fertilization led to stabilization of soil organic matter pools and gave a possibility for a long time stable agricultural use.     

不同种植制度对稻田旱作季节CH4和N2O排放的影响

通过大田试验研究了稻田旱作季节几种典型种植制度对CH4和N2O排放的影响,包括休闲（fallow）、油菜对照（OR-ck）、小麦对照（W-ck）、油菜施N（OR-N）和小麦施N（W-N）5个处理。试验结果表明,稻田旱作季节N2O排放明显,CH4排放量较低,甚至表现为弱的CH4汇。稻田旱作季节N2O排放除受到N肥和种植制度影响外,还受土壤含水量影响,施N处理显著促进了N2O排放,降雨后N2O排放明显。小麦和油菜施N处理N2O平均排放通量分别为18.51和13.47μg·m^-2·h^-1,季节累积排放量分别为87.31和59.48 mg·m^-2,均显著高于对照和休闲处理。不同作物种类间N2O平均排放通量无显著差异,N2O季节累积排放量则表现为小麦显著高于油菜。各处理综合温室效应（100 a）依次为：OR-N〉W-N〉W-ck〉fallow〉OR-ck。各施N处理综合温室效应以N2O为主,但各无N处理则以CH4为主,也不容忽视。     

保护性耕作对土壤有机碳、氮储量的影响

以辽宁彰武县保护性耕作示范推广基地土壤为研究对象,通过实地调查和取样分析,对比研究了传统犁耕和6年免耕秸秆覆盖条件下的土壤有机碳、氮储量,为广泛评价保护性耕作的土壤碳、氮截获功能和合理选择农业耕作方式提供科学依据。研究结果表明,与犁耕相比,免耕覆盖不同程度地提高了0-5cm和5～15cm土层的有机碳、氮储量,对15cm以下土层没有影响,从而增加了0～100em土体总的有机碳、氮储量,证明了免耕覆盖的土壤碳、氮截获功能,年均截获率分别为1．37Mg·hm-2和0．84Mg·hm-2有机碳、氮在犁耕土壤0～30cm剖面的垂直分布较为均匀,免耕覆盖后则发生明显的分层,产生表聚现象。     

秸秆生物质炭土地利用的环境效益研究

农田土壤有机碳矿化释放CO2是农业温室气体排放的重要途径,促进土壤碳截获对于减缓全球温室效应具有重要意义。生物质炭具有改良土壤性质、促进土壤团聚体的形成、对土壤微生物生态具有调控作用等特性。因此,生物质炭对增强土壤碳截获能力及减少土壤CO2气体排放可能具有重要作用。采用实验室盆栽的方式,以黑麦草为目标植物,对农业秸秆生物质炭土地利用的环境效益进行了研究。实验结果表明：农业秸秆制生物质炭应用于农田土壤能产生多方面的环境效益。与对照相比,添加1%~4%生物质炭处理的土壤活性有机质质量分数均增加了25%以上,土壤呼吸度降低了23%~50%,同时,添加生物质炭对植物的生长也有促进作用。添加4%秸秆炭的处理的黑麦草生物量增加了68%。此外,秸秆生物质炭的添加对土壤中的养分具有较好的持留功能,与比照相比,添加生物质炭处理的土壤淋出液中氮和磷质量浓度显著降低,说明生物质炭能够有效减少水冲刷造成的氮磷流失,降低农业面源污染。
