Organic matter and concentrated nitrogen removal by shortcut nitrification and denitrification from mature municipal landfill leachate

An UASB＋Anoxic/Oxic （A/O） system was introduced to treat a mature landfill leachate with low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and high ammonia concentration. To make the best use of the biodegradable COD in the leaehate, the denitrifieation of NOx^--N in the reeireulation effluent from the elarifier was carried out in the UASB. The results showed that most biodegradable organic matters were removed by the denitrifieation in the UASB. The NH4^＋-N loading rate （ALR） of A/O reactor and operational temperature was 0.28- 0.60 kg NH4^＋-N/（m^3-d） and 17-29℃ during experimental period, respectively. The short-cut nitrification with nitrite accumulation efficiency of 90%-99% was stabilized during the whole experiment. The NH4^＋-N removal efficiency varied between 90% and 100%. When ALR was less than 0.45 kg NH4^＋-N/（m^3.d）, the NH4^＋-N removal efficiency was more than 98%. With the influent NH4^＋-N of 1200-1800 mg/L, the effluent NH4^＋-N was less than 15 mg/L. The shortcut nitrification and denitrifieation can save 40% carbon source, with a highly efficient denitrifieation taking place in the UASB. When the ratio of the feed COD to feed NH4^＋-N was only 2-3, the total inorganic nitrogen （TIN） removal efficiency attained 67%-80%. Besides, the sludge samples from A/O reactor were analyzed using FISH. The FISH analysis revealed that ammonia oxidation bacteria （AOB） accounted for 4% of the total eubaeterial population, whereas nitrite oxidation bacteria （NOB） accounted only for 0.2% of the total eubaeterial population.     

鄂尔多斯市秋季大气PM2.5、PM10颗粒物中正构烷烃的组成分布与来源特征

利用气相色谱-质谱技术分析了秋季鄂尔多斯市居民区、工业区和清洁区5个采样点大气PM2,、PM10颗粒物中正构烷烃组分,运用Cmax、CPl、Cn(wax)分子地球化学参数对污染源进行了初步示踪研究,并对污染程度进行了判断.结果表明,鄂尔多斯市秋季大气PM2.5、PM10颗粒物上正构烷烃来源相对比较复杂,各功能区均不同程度的受到人为来源正构烷烃污染的影响.总体来说,工业区和居民区人为来源正构烷烃污染较重,这两个功能区污染状况基本相当,而清洁区受人为来源正构烷烃污染相对较小.在鄂尔多斯地区,气候因素尤其是风向因素对大气颗粒物上正构烷烃污染水平的影响比较大.通过与我国其它大中型城市进行对比发现,我国大部分城市市区大气PM2.5、PM10颗粒物中正构烷烃主要来自于人为污染排放.

2011年8月—2012年7月期间,利用中流量(100 L·min-1)大气采样器对东莞市A和B两点(A:生活区,B:工业区)进行PM1、PM1~2.5、PM2.5~10采样,并定量分析颗粒物上F-、Cl-、NO-3、SO2-4、NH+4、Na+、K+、Ca2+、Mg2+等9种水溶性无机离子.分析结果显示,工业区B点的细粒子污染较生活区A点严重,B点PM1质量浓度年均值为48μg·m-3,其浓度是A点的1.2倍.A、B两点PM1对PM2.5和PM10的质量贡献率无明显差异,平均贡献率分别高达69%和45%.二次离子SO2-4、NO-3、NH+4及与燃烧行为有关的K+、Cl-等5种离子在细粒子PM1上富集,这5种离子对PM1质量的贡献率分别为18.82%~19.76%、4.98%~5.47%、3.98%~4.12%、2.03%~2.27%和3.39%~3.78%.而其他4种离子,Ca2+、Mg2+、F-和Na+积聚在粗粒子PM2.5~10上.PM10/PM2.5/PM1三种粒子中,PM1粒子酸性值AE/CE(阴离子当量浓度/阳离子当量浓度)比值和硫转化率SOR、氮转化率NOR值均是最高.

发展了南京大学城市空气质量数值预报模式系统(NJU-CAQPS),在模式系统中引入了气溶胶模块.运用该系统对南京地区冬夏两季PM2.5浓度的时间变化规律和空间分布特征进行了数值模拟研究,通过与实际观测资料对比,检验发展后的模式系统对于细颗粒物的模拟性能.结果表明,南京市城近郊内冬夏两季PM2.5浓度具有明显的时空变化特征,一般在半夜和清晨会出现较高浓度,午后至傍晚浓度较低.冬季浓度高于夏季,冬夏两季算例的浓度日均值之比为1.51.空间分布受到排放源位置、地面流场等因素影响.二次气溶胶在PM2.5中占相当的份额,冬夏两季算例中二次气溶胶在PM2.5中所占比例分别为12%和15%,夏季二次气溶胶对PM2.5浓度贡献较冬季大.与实际观测资料的对比验证表明,经过发展的该模式系统对于城市PM2.5等颗粒物的模拟性能良好.     

广州市区公交车站PM_(2.5)与CO暴露水平研究

用便携式颗粒物浓度测定仪(DustTrak Model8520)和CO测定仪(Q-Trak Model8551),于2008年9月至2009年1月对广州市区11个代表性公交车站的PM2.5和CO暴露水平进行了测定。结果表明,公交车站7:00～19:00时间段PM2.5的平均浓度范围为206～348μg/m3,总体均值达288μg/m3,显示公交车站PM2.5污染问题突出;CO平均浓度范围1.5～4.0mg/m3,总体平均2.8mg/m3,有六个站点平均浓度超过了我国环境空气质量标准限值(4.0mg/m3或3.2mg/m3)。大多数站点工作日与非工作日PM2.5与CO水平差异不大,部分站点则受车流量和客流量变化影响呈现差异。同一站点PM2.5日变化特征不如CO明显,一次污染物CO变化受交通高峰影响呈双峰特征,而PM2.5水平影响因素复杂,一般白天较低,夜晚21:00出现峰值。不同站点CO与车流量未见显著相关性,表明车流量并不是决定公交站点CO水平的唯一因素,而扩散条件及公交车排放可能也是重要影响因素;与CO不同,不同站点PM2.5与车流量表现出显著相关(p0.05),可能侧面反映路面扬尘对公交车站PM2.5水平的影响和贡献。     

天津市夏季灰霾与非灰霾天气下颗粒物污染特征与来源解析

年6—8月在天津市区进行的连续灰霾观测发现,灰霾发生的天数占观测时段的1/3. 灰霾日与非灰霾日颗粒物质量浓度存在显著差异,灰霾日ρ(PM_2.5)与ρ(PM₁₀)的平均值分别是非灰霾日的1.64和1.55倍. 灰霾日S含量高于非灰霾日近50%;灰霾日ρ(SO₄2-)和ρ(NO₃-)明显高于非灰霾日,其中灰霾日ρ(NO₃-)增幅最高可达251.02%;灰霾日PM_2.5和PM₁₀中的ρ(OC)、ρ(EC)均是非灰霾日的1.25倍以上. 灰霾日与非灰霾日的气象条件相近,表明此次观测期间天津市区夏季灰霾天气发生与气象条件的关系不大. 使用CMB模型(化学质量平衡模型)对PM_2.5来源进行的解析表明,二次硝酸盐和二次硫酸盐对灰霾日ρ(PM_2.5)的贡献率分别是非灰霾日的2.17和1.34倍,而其他源类在灰霾日和非灰霾日的贡献差异不明显,说明二次离子可能是造成天津市区夏季灰霾最主要的颗粒物源类.      

基于物元分析的表层岩溶带“二元”水生态承载力评价

针对目前水生态承载力评价中信息屏蔽和主观性问题,该文以喀斯特典型分布区贵州省为例,在阐述表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力概念的基础上,构建表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力评价指标体系,结合物元分析法,对贵州省2007—2010年的表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力进行定量评价.研究结果表明:2007—2010年贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力等级都为"可承载",整体呈现出比较稳定的发展趋势,但是"可承载"水平并不稳定,不完全符合No2的标准."可承载"水平不稳定.贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力的主要提升因子是地表产流率、输沙模数、森林覆盖率、水资源利用率等8个,而单位面积地表水资源量、生态用水率、工业废水排放达标率、工业固体废物综合利用率以及城镇化率等9个成为制约贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力等级提升的因子.贵州省的表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力不仅关系到自身的社会、经济和生态安全也关系到下游的长江流域和珠江流域的水资源安全、生态安全以及环境建设.因此,应制定区域生态补偿措施,经济发达地区反哺经济落后地区,形成联动的共同保护生态环境脆弱区的水生态承载力的机制.为促进贵州省的水土资源开发利用和生态环境建设提供理论借鉴,并为类似地区的水生态承载力评价提供了一种新方法.     

Comparison of UV-based advanced oxidation processes for the removal of different fractions of NOM from drinking water

This study examined the effectiveness for degradation of hydrophobic (HPO), transphilic (TPI) and hydrophilic (HPI) fractions of natural organic matter (NOM) during UV/H₂O₂, UV/TiO₂ and UV/K₂S₂O₈ (UV/PS) advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The changing characteristics of NOM were evaluated by dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the specific UV absorbance (SUVA), trihalomethanes formation potential (THMFP), organic halogen adsorbable on activated carbon formation potential (AOXFP) and parallel factor analysis of excitation–emission matrices (PARAFAC-EEMs). In the three UV-based AOPs, HPI fraction with low molecular weight and aromaticity was more likely to degradate than HPO and TPI, and the removal efficiency of SUVA for HPO was much higher than TPI and HPI fraction. In terms of the specific THMFP of HPO, TPI and HPI, a reduction was achieved in the UV/H₂O₂ process, and the higest removal rate even reached to 83%. UV/TiO₂ and UV/PS processes can only decrease the specific THMFP of HPI. The specific AOXFP of HPO, TPI and HPI fractions were all able to be degraded by the three UV-based AOPs, and HPO content is more susceptible to decompose than TPI and HPI content. UV/H₂O₂ was found to be the most effective treatment for the removal of THMFP and AOXFP under given conditions. C1 (microbial or marine derived humic-like substances), C2 (terrestrially derived humic-like substances) and C3 (tryptophan-like proteins) fluorescent components of HPO fraction were fairly labile across the UV-based AOPs treatment. C3 of each fraction of NOM was the most resistant to degrade upon the UV-based AOPs. Results from this study may provide the prediction about the consequence of UV-based AOPs for the degradation of different fractions of NOM with varied characteristics.     

Effect of catalyzed diesel particulate filter and its catalyst loading on emission characteristics of a non-road diesel engine

In this study, the effects of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) coupled with a catalyzed diesel particulate filter (CDPF) with different catalyst loadings on the power, fuel consumption, gaseous and particulate emissions from a non-road diesel engine were investigated. Results showed that the after-treatment had a negligible effect on the power and fuel consumption. The reduction effect of the DOC on the CO and hydrocarbon (HC) increased with the engine load. Further reductions occurred coupling with the CDPF. Increasing the catalyst loading resulted in a more significant reduction in the HC emissions than CO emissions. The DOC could increase the NO₂ proportion to 37.9%, and more NO₂ was produced when coupled with the CDPF below 250°C; above 250°C, more NO₂ was consumed. The after-treatment could reduce more than 99% of the particle number (PN) and 98% of the particle mass (PM). Further reductions in the PN and PM occurred with a higher CDPF catalyst loading. The DOC had a better reduction effect on the nucleation particles than the accumulation ones, but the trend reversed with the CDPF. The DOC shifted the particle size distribution (PSD) to larger particles with an accumulation particle proportion increasing from 13% to 20%, and the geometric mean diameter (GMD) increased from 18.2 to 26.0 nm. The trend reversed with the CDPF and the accumulation particle proportion declined to less than 10%. A lower catalyst loading on the CDPF led to a higher proportion of nucleation particles and a smaller GMD.
