An estimate of the contribution of outdoor concrete yards used by livestock to the UK inventories of ammonia, nitrous oxide and methane

Many farms have unroofed concrete yards used by livestock. These concrete yards have received little attention as sources of gaseous emissions. From 1997 to 1999 measurements were made of emissions of ammonia (NH₃), nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) from 11 concrete yards used by livestock. A postal survey was carried out to assess the areas of yards on farms in England and Wales to enable the measurements to be scaled up to estimate national emissions. Using the results of this study NH₃-N emissions from farm concrete yards were calculated to be ca. 35×10³ t annually. This is 13% of the current estimated total NH₃-N emission from UK livestock. Concrete yards were an insignificant source of N₂O and CH₄ which were both <0.01% of current estimates of agricultural emissions.     

Oxidation catalyst of iron oxide suppressing dioxin formation in polyethylene combustion

A new iron oxide catalyst, which has a superior oxidation activity in carbon monoxide and polyethylene (PE) combustion, was synthesized by an aqueous solution reaction. Catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide over six kinds of hematite obtained from the goethite was done using a microcatalytic pulse reactor, and the composition of the hematite with the highest oxidation activity was determined. With the aim of suppressing dioxin formation on combustion, incineration tests of solid wastes in PE refuse bags with and without the goethite were carried out using a commercial semibatch-type incinerator with a combustion chamber of 6.2 m³. The result confirmed that the concentration of dioxins in the flue gas decreased considerably when the refuse was incinerated in PE bags manufactured with goethite.

城市生活垃圾与煤循环流化床混烧N2O排放规律研究

氧化亚氮会对全球气候变化造成不良影响,这促使世界各国对燃煤系统的N2O排放进行一系列研究,本针对我国垃圾特性,在0.2MWth循环流化床装置上进行了垃圾与煤混烧实验,研究了在混烧过程中垃圾与煤掺烧比例及床层温度变化对N2O排放浓度的影响,实验结果显示,掺烧比例较低时,N2O排放浓度迅速降低,随着掺烧比例增加,N2O排放浓度略有升高,当垃圾与煤掺烧比例恒定时,随床温增加,N2O排放浓度呈下降趋势。

采用蒸发氧化法制备纳米ZnO。当炉温为1100℃、空气流量为0．6m^3／h、锌粒加入量为5g时,得到高纯度类四锥体和柱形纳米ZnO。以该ZnO为光催化剂,对对硝基氯苯进行光催化氧化,考察了ZnO的加入量、对硝基氯苯的初始浓度、溶液pH等对对硝基氯苯降解率的影响。在ZnO质量浓度为0．5g／L、对硝基氯苯质量浓度为30mg／L、pH为7、光照时间为100min的条件下,对硝基氯苯降解率为98％。     

沉积物和土壤中磷的生物有效性评估新方法

利用自制的氧化铁/醋酸纤维素复合膜(FeO/CAM)发展了一种沉积物和土壤磷的生物有效性评估的新方法. 结果表明:从沉积物和土壤中解吸的生物有效磷(FeO-P)含量随时间增加而增加,至16～20h左右,解吸过程接近平衡;随着土/水比增大而减小,至20～30g/L左右逐渐趋于平缓,且相对标准偏差较小;膜面积为20～30cm²时FeO-P含量差别较小,且相对标准偏差也较小;适当提高振荡频率(一般200r/min左右),有利于促进FeO-P的提取动力学过程.在用于评估水体沉积物和土壤解吸磷的生物有效性方面,FeO/CAM膜克服了氧化铁浸渍滤纸的缺点,易于商品化,具有更好的应用前景.     

同步硝化反硝化处理氨氮废水过程中气态脱氮产物的研究

采用密闭的间歇式反应器对高质量浓度氨氮废水在同步硝化反硝化(SND)生物脱氮过程中产生的3种氮氧化物气体(NO,NO2和N2O)进行跟踪测试.结果表明,在由反应器排出的气体中,ρ(NO2)不高于实验室背景值,在脱氮产物中可忽略不计,而ρ(NO)和ρ(N2O)要高于背景值10倍以上.对于该脱氮系统,在低ρ(DO)和高pH的条件下产生的N2O相对较少.ρ(DO)为1.5～3.0 mg/L时,以NO和N2O形式脱除的氮分别占脱氮总量的0.58%和6.53%;ρ(DO) 为2.5～4.0 mg/L时,分别为0.48%和39.34%.此外,还分析了可实施的N2O控逸途径.      

外源NO对Cu胁迫下番茄幼苗L-精氨酸代谢的影响

一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)作为生物活性分子,广泛参与各种生物和非生物胁迫。采用营养液培养,研究Cu胁迫下番茄体内L-精氨酸、NO、多胺代谢对外源NO的响应机制,以期为铜污染区域蔬菜种植提供科学依据和技术支持。结果表明,Cu胁迫下添加外源SNP(硝普钠,外源NO供体)能够调节番茄根系和叶片中精氨酸脱羧酶(Arginine Decarboxylase,ADC)、鸟氨酸脱羧酶(Ornithine Decarboxylase,ODC)及一氧化氮合酶(Nitric Oxide Synthase,NOS)活性。根系中,外源SNP能够上调NOS活性,L-精氨酸代谢向着NO合成方向进行;叶片中,外源SNP能够同时上调ADC、ODC、NOS活性,PA、NO的合成同时进行;此外,Cu胁迫下添加外源SNP能够增加根系和叶片L-精氨酸含量,而作为PA、NO的合成前体,精氨酸含量升高无疑会间接促进PA、NO的合成,从而提高番茄对Cu胁迫的抵抗能力。     

Investigating the phenol removal from aqueous media by photocatalytic magnetized graphene oxide nanocomposite

As a large and diverse group of secondary metabolites, phenolic compounds are one of the most common chemical pollutants present in water resources. these compounds can have toxic effects on ecosystems and humans. Therefore, their removal from water sources appears to be of great importance. In this study, a magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) photocatalyst was synthesized and used to remove phenol from water. The fabricated GO magnetic nanocomposites were determined by SEM and FTIR techniques. Afterward, these nanoparticles were used to remove phenol from aquatic media considering different operational parameters, including pH of the solution, initial concentration of phenol, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The results showed that the magnetized GO nanoparticles could remove 90.83% of phenol molecules under the optimal conditions of solution pH = 3.0, initial phenol concentration of 20 mg/L, adsorbent concentration of 300 mg/L, and contact time of 120 min. additionally have compared the results of UV, Fe₃O₄/GO, and Fe₃O₄/GO/UV on the removal of phenol under optimum conditions. Accordingly, the phenol removal efficiencies for UV alone, Fe₃O₄/GO, and Fe₃O₄/GO/UV were obtained at 4.5, 65.73, and 90.83%, respectively. Based on the findings, the prepared magnetic GO nanoparticles have extended capabilities such as easy and rapid separation from sample and high potential in removing phenolic compounds, so, it can be introduced as an appropriate adsorbent for removal of this pollutant from water and wastewater.
