西部某机械加工企业酸洗场地环境调查与污染特征分析

以西北高原地区某铁塔厂酸洗车间为重点区,对场地开展系统的环境调查,结果表明：该场地以重金属锌污染为主要污染因子,场地内土壤Zn浓度范围13.68~68 800 mg·kg-1,局部区域土壤pH异常、土壤Fe含量和Cl-浓度升高现象;土壤Zn污染垂向迁移深,多数点位Zn污染（Zn含量超过200~500 mg·kg-1）深度达10 m以上,少数点位污染深度达15 m以下,其中北区酸池5 m以内、南区酸池3 m以内和下水管道及两侧区域3~10 m深度范围内为重污染;场地土壤pH异常范围与锌污染范围一致,土壤Cl-浓度和Fe浓度与Zn浓度具有相关性,可作为判断土壤锌污染程度和范围的辅助因子;现场速测的Zn含量与实验室总量测定结果一致性强,在pH异常区域的现场速测pH值与实验室测定结果的一致性较好,现场速测结果可作为污染表征的基础依据。推测酸池泄漏、含重金属洗液长期下渗和工业废水的直接排放为场地污染主要原因。     

土壤中铬电动修复过程及影响因素

实验筛选出阳极pH、阴极pH、电压梯度、电极形状4种影响因素,以黏土为研究对象,设计正交实验和对比实验研究铬的电动修复过程。结果表明,最重要的影响因素为电压梯度,其他影响因素重要性排序为阳极pH、阴极pH、电极形状;在电压梯度为1.5 V·cm-1下,以去离子水作为电解质,分别控制阴极和阳极pH在11和3,取得很好的去除效果,144 h后铬迁移率达到80.9%。总铬和六价铬分布规律类似,从阳极到阴极呈现逐渐下降的趋势。经过电动修复后土壤中水溶态铬比例减少,可氧化态和残渣态比例增大。铬电动修复控制系统在微电流范围内可取得很好的去除效果。     

废弃铬盐厂土壤中铬的赋存特征及异位淋洗修复可行性研究

土壤理化性质、污染物的分布及赋存特征是土壤异位淋洗技术是否可行的关键依据。以西北某废弃铬盐厂铬污染场地土壤作为研究对象,测定了土壤基本理化参数及各粒径污染物的浓度,探究总铬和六价铬在不同粒径土壤中的分布特征,并通过铬的赋存形态分析确定清水作为淋洗剂,开展异位清水淋洗实验。结果表明：供试土壤粗颗粒物料（粒径分别为：>9.50 mm、2.00~9.50 mm、0.841~2.00 mm及0.25~0.841 mm）占土壤总质量的比例达到93.36%,总铬和六价铬污染物富集于土壤细颗粒（粒径-1,达到修复标准要求。     

化学氧化技术在地下水修复中的应用

近年来,化学氧化技术在地下水修复中得到了很大的关注。本研究对比了Fenton试剂、过硫酸钠、高锰酸钾及次氯酸钠4种常见的氧化剂对农药厂地下水中污染物的去除效果、地下水的pH和氧化还原电位(ORP)的变化的影响。结果表明,Fenton试剂和活化的过硫酸钠对此农药厂地下水各种污染物的去除率最高,两者对其中污染物都能达到80%以上的去除率,但在一定程度上会使地下水的pH降低;高锰酸钾和次氯酸钠对污染物的去除率都能达60%以上。其中高锰酸钾对地下水的pH影响不大;次氯酸钠对氯甲苯没有去除效果,对溴苯的去除率也较低,而且会使地下水的碱性过强。在地下水样中加入4种氧化剂后,会使水样的ORP立即升高。     

重庆市加油站周边浅层地下水中石油烃污染调查与特征分析

为了解加油站运营对周边浅层地下水环境质量的影响,随机选择了12个正常运营20年以上的加油站,在加油站上游和下游共布设了27口地下水监测井,对地下水中石油烃、苯系物、萘、1,2-二氯乙烷和甲基叔丁基醚开展了水质监测。结果表明,石油烃在地下水中的检出率较高,为96.3%,检出浓度为4.2~544.7μg/L,检出组分主要为柴油烃中的C26和C20,检出率分别达到了88.9%和77.8%;汽油烃的有效组分C6~C9未检出,作为汽油添加剂的1,2-二氯乙烷和甲基叔丁基醚在地下水中存在,检出率分别为96.3%和22.2%,检出浓度分别为1.7~30.9μg/L和3.8~30.9μg/L。其中,11.1%的监测井中甲基叔丁基醚浓度超过了EPA推荐的饮用水安全的浓度限值(20μg/L),3.7%的监测井中1,2-二氯乙烷浓度超过了《地表水环境质量标准》(GB 3838-2002)中"集中式生活饮用水地表水源地特定项目标准限值"规定的30μg/L。总体而言,石油烃、苯系物、1,2-二氯乙烷和甲基叔丁基醚的含量远低于油品渗(泄)漏导致的污染水平。     

铁屑耦合生物麦饭石的PRB系统修复含铬酸根与硝酸根地下水

针对污染地下水中铬酸根和硝酸根迁移速度快,可渗透反应墙(PRB)常规活性材料修复效果差等问题,以铁屑、麦饭石和硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)为活性材料,构建4组耦合PRB动态柱修复地下水中Cr(Ⅵ)和NO3--N。结果表明,4#(铁屑、麦饭石和SRB)柱修复效果较1#(麦饭石)、2#(铁屑、麦饭石)和3#(麦饭石和SRB)柱好,且稳定,对Cr(Ⅵ)和NO3--N平均去除率分别是97.7%和97.34%,可见,以铁屑、麦饭石和硫酸盐还原菌为活性材料的耦合PRB系统修复地下水中Cr(Ⅵ)和NO3--N具有有效性与可行性。     

新制备生物炭的特性表征及其对石油烃污染土壤的吸附效果

生物炭作为一种绿色环保的功能材料因其在污水处理和污染土壤修复方面具有显著效果而受到极大关注。采用红外光谱、元素分析仪及微孔分析对不同温度(200、300、400、500和600℃)条件下制备的木屑和麦秆生物炭进行特性表征,并采用制备的生物炭净化石油污染土壤,分别考察了污染物性质、生物质原料和热解温度对其净化效果的影响。结果表明,随着热解温度的增高,生物炭芳香化程度增加,极性降低,微孔结构逐渐发育,表面积增大。加入生物炭33 d后,污染土壤中总石油烃及其组分烷烃的浓度比对照略有降低,而PAHs浓度下降显著。随着热解温度升高,2种生物炭对PAHs的吸附强度均逐渐增大,芳香度增高、表面积增大是强吸附的主要原因。2种生物炭在400℃及以下温度制备时对PAHs的吸附强度为:木屑生物炭 > 麦秆生物炭;而400℃以上温度制备的生物炭吸附强度则相反,即麦秆生物炭 > 木屑生物炭,说明生物炭原料对其吸附强度也具有显著影响。     

Comprehensive Environmental Investigation at Former Industrial/Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Sites in Long Beach,CA: A Forensic Perspective

Two industrial sites were investigated based on years of available hydrogeologic information and monitoring data for soil and groundwater. Collected data were forensically evaluated using age-dating and fingerprinting methods. The previous business uses of the project sites were as a gas station, laundry/dry-cleaning service, and car wash with petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs). As a result, these sites were exposed to a number of toxic contaminants at relatively high concentrations. Source control was necessary for successful remediation and the ultimate removal of the remaining compounds from these industrial sites. Although contaminated soil around the source was excavated during the remedial action and the high concentrations of contaminants were reduced, typical groundwater contaminants such as petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-G), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), and oxygenates including methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), diisopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) were persistently found at the studied sites around the source points. The plume and concentration of contaminants had changed their shapes and strength for all monitoring periods. Thus, additional source control seems to be a requirement for the complete removal of source contamination, which must be ascertained with groundwater and soil monitoring on a regular time base. For the study sites, monitored natural attenuation was relatively feasible for the long-term plan; however, it did not offer a perfect remediation solution for an ultimate goal because of residual toxic compounds that might have affected the surrounding residential areas at higher concentrations than their health limits. Therefore, as a remediation strategy, the combination of clean-up technology and natural attenuation with monitoring activities are more highly recommended than either clean-up or natural attenuation used separately.     

Geogenic Distribution of Arsenic (As) and Antimony (Sb) in Soils of the Murcia Region in Spain

The objective of this study was to determine the As and Sb contents in soils from the Murcia Region of Spain and the possible relationship between the mineralogical composition, soil properties, and As and Sb concentrations. In this study, 490 samples were selected from areas with different characteristics in order to study As and Sb variability. Results show that As and Sb concentrations are positively correlated with the phyllosilicate and quartz content but negatively correlated with the calcite content. The generic reference level (GRL) for these elements was determined according to the Spanish legislation. Established GRL values vary according to the established mineralogical groups, suggesting that GRL has to be determined considering the lithological characteristics of the study area.     

Assessment of Aquifer Vulnerability in an Agricultural Area in Spain Using the DRASTIC Model

The assessment of aquifer vulnerability is a very important task, especially in agricultural areas because the quality and availability of groundwater affects both the sustainability of agriculture and the quality of life. In this study, an integrated approach is considered, with the use of the generic and agricultural DRASTIC models as well as a geographic information system (GIS), to assess groundwater vulnerability in the agricultural area of Barrax, in the province of Albacete, in Spain. Seven parameters—depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of vadose zone media, and hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer (DRASTIC)—have been considered as weighted layers to enable an accurate groundwater risk mapping. The results of the generic DRASTIC model indicated very low vulnerability to contamination for Barrax groundwater due to limited urban and industrial development in the wider area. However, agricultural activities impose pressure to groundwater resources and the results of the agricultural DRASTIC model show that 6.86% of the study area is characterized by very high, 2.29% by high, 47.28% by medium, 38.28% by low, and the remaining 5.29% by no vulnerability to groundwater contamination. The distribution of nitrate concentration in groundwater in the area under study is quite well correlated with the agricultural DRASTIC vulnerability index. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to acknowledge statistical uncertainty in the estimation of each parameter used, to assess its impact, and thus to identify the most critical parameters that require further investigation. Depth to water and impact of vadose zone are the parameters that had the most noticeable impact on the generic DRASTIC vulnerability index followed by the soil media and topography. In contrast, the agricultural DRASTIC method is more sensitive to the removal of the depth to water parameter followed by the topography and the soil media parameters.
