前置反硝化曝气生物滤池的挂膜启动研究

为了解前置反硝化曝气生物滤池(BAF)的启动规律,构建了小试规模的前置反硝化BAF,采用快速排泥、逐步增大水力负荷的策略考察了其启动过程中的污染物去除情况及启动特性.结果表明,在好氧柱水力负荷为2.04 m3/(m2·h),厌氧柱水力负荷为4.08 m3/(m2·h),回流比为100%,气水比为5.6:1的情况下,前置反硝化BAF的启动需要49 d.启动过程中好氧池中硝化细菌的成熟是启动的关键.厌氧池中的反硝化细菌的成熟标志着启动的完成.启动完成后,前置反硝化BAF的出水COD、NH3-N及NO3--N分别稳定在50、15和5 mg/L以下,满足国家一级A排放标准.     

Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA络合吸收-铁粉还原再生脱除NO性能

利用Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA络合吸收-铁粉间歇还原再生脱除NO并回收氨资源的方法,实验研究了铁粉还原再生Fe(Ⅱ)(NO)EDTA的过程及其影响因素。结果表明,以0.015 mol/L的Fe(Ⅱ)EDTA做吸收剂,在起始pH 5.5、温度323K条件下吸收400×10-6~500×10-6的NO,脱除率95%以上;铁粉还原再生Fe(Ⅱ)(NO)EDTA过程可用缩芯模型阐释;铁粉添加量与搅拌强度直接决定了铁粉质点数量,是影响反应的重要因素;实验中Fe(Ⅱ)(NO)EDTA络合液150 mL,氧气含量为5%时,搅拌速度900 r/min、粒径为0.12 mm的铁粉浓度5.3 g/L、温度353 K、pH=6为最适宜再生条件。     

复合钙基固硫添加剂对煤固硫与燃烧的影响

利用程序升温燃烧反应技术,考察了高岭土复合的CaO、Fe2O3-CaO、CoO-CaO添加剂对无烟煤的燃烧以及固硫的影响。实验发现,这些添加物质对煤的裂解产物的燃烧都具有促进作用,除了Fe2O3-CaO-高岭土复合添加剂对煤焦的燃烧有一定阻碍作用之外,其余都具有对煤焦燃烧的促进作用,尤以CoO-CaO-高岭土复合添加剂的效果最为显著。高岭土复合的硫酸钙本应具有较高的热稳定性,但受到高温下煤焦与CO的还原而分解,所以添加对煤焦具有明显催化燃烧作用的氧化钴,因减少了还原性气氛,稳定了硫酸钙产物而促进了固硫。     

锰矿区土-水界面污染流中重金属来源分析

基于对湘潭锰矿红旗矿区土-水界面重金属污染流的采样分析,通过相关性和主成分分析法,研究了锰矿区土-水界面重金属污染流中的锰、镍、铜、锌、镉、铅重金属的来源以及同源性。结果表明:6种重金属的差异性、离散程度、变异性较大;锰—镍、锰—锌、锰—镉、锰—铅、镍—锌、铜—锌、铜—铅、锌—镉、锌—铅、铅—镉呈极显著正相关,镍与锰以外的其他重金属相关性都较低;3个主成分的贡献率分别为58.300%、16.628%、11.115%,累积贡献率达到了81.543%,并且6种重金属在主成分1的载荷非常高。结合矿区的周边环境和自身特点,表明6种重金属的主要共同来源为矿区内的矿业活动,并且工业活动、交通运输、农业活动等也对矿区造成了一定程度的重金属污染。     

Forensic Evaluation of Metals (Cr,Cu, Pb,Zn), Isotopes (δ13C and δ15N), and C:N Ratios in Freshwater Sediment

A forensic approach was used to evaluate sediments from Portão Stream, including analysis of metals, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotopes, and C:N ratios. Samples collected at various points located along the stream were tested in order to investigate a possible illegal leachate input. The studied stream is heavily impacted by sewage and industrial discharges from two cities along its course. Among the metals analyzed, chromium (Cr) was noticeably the main pollutant, showing the highest levels, above regulatory limits, downstream from some potential sources of effluents enriched with this metal. Isotope analyses revealed a general trend of depletion in the heavier isotope along the stream for C and N. The exception was one point near a hazardous waste landfill, where relatively more enriched δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values were found. The isotope and metal analysis results indicated that this site was affected by a particular source, demonstrating the combination of these parameters could be used for the discrimination of sources in a heavily polluted stream. Nevertheless, further investigations are necessary to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the biogeochemical processes involved in the incorporation of leachate in sediments to use this analysis as evidence for the illegal leachate discharge.     

Optimization-Based Atmospheric Plume Source Identification

This work applies optimization and an Eulerian inversion approach presented by Bagtzoglou and Baun in 2005 in order to reconstruct contaminant plume time histories and to identify the likely source of atmospheric contamination using data from a real test site for the first time. Present-day distribution of an atmospheric contaminant plume as well as data points reflecting the plume history allow the reconstruction and provide the plume velocity, distribution, and probable source. The method was tested to a hypothetical case and with data from the Forest Atmosphere Transfer and Storage (FACTS) experiment in the Duke experimental forest site. In the scenarios presented herein, as well as in numerous cases tested for verification purposes, the model conserved mass, successfully located the peak of the plume, and managed to capture the motion of the plume well but underestimated the contaminant peak.     

Gold Mining: Is It Worth Its Weight?

Gold (Au) accounts for only 0.004 g/ton of the earth's crust and is the most desired element. With an average annual world production of approximately 2,500 tons, the current methods of Au mining in developing countries cause major environmental issues. These issues vary from deforestation to cyanide and mercury (Hg) contamination. This article presents several cases of environmental catastrophes caused by Au mining in different regions of the world (Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and South America). It discusses the currently available processes for the large-scale extraction of metallic Au grains and supports the need for an alternative sustainable process.
