Chemical cleaning of fouled PVC membrane during ultrafiltration of algal-rich water

Cleaning of hollow-fibre polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane with di erent chemical reagents after ultrafiltration of algal-rich water was investigated. Among the tested cleaning reagents (NaOH, HCl, EDTA, and NaClO), 100 mg/L NaClO exhibited the best performance (88.4% 1.1%) in removing the irreversible fouling resistance. This might be attributed to the fact that NaClO could eliminate almost all the major foulants such as carbohydrate-like and protein-like materials on the membrane surface, as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. However, negligible irreversible resistance (1.5% 1.0%) was obtained when the membrane was cleaning by 500 mg/L NaOH for 1.0 hr, although the NaOH solution could also desorb a portion of the major foulants from the fouled PVC membrane. Scanning electronic microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses demonstrated that 500 mg/L NaOH could change the structure of the residual foulants on the membrane, making them more tightly attached to the membrane surface. This phenomenon might be responsible for the negligible membrane permeability restoration after NaOH cleaning. On the other hand, the microscopic analyses reflected that NaClO could e ectively remove the foulants accumulated on the membrane surface.     

Methanotrophic community structure of aged refuse and its capability for methane bio-oxidation

Aged refuse from waste landfills closed for eight years was examined and found to contain rich methanotrophs capable of biooxidation for methane. Specially, community structure and methane oxidation capability of methanotrophs in the aged refuse were studied. The amount of methanotrophs ranged 61.97 103–632.91 103 cells/g (in dry basis) in aged refuse from Shanghai Laogang Landfill. Type I and II methanotrophs were found in the aged refuse in the presence of sterilized sewage sludge and only Type I methanotrophs were detected in the presence of nitrate minimal salt medium (NMS). The clone sequences of the pmoA gene obtained from the aged refuse were similar to the pmoA gene of Methylobacter, Methylocaldum, and Methylocystis, and two clones were distinct with known genera of Type I methanotrophs according to phylogenetic analysis. Aged refuse enriched with NMS was used for methane biological oxidation and over 93% conversions were obtained.     

气候谈判国际阵营变化的经济学分析

气候谈判关乎各国在气候秩序中的权力与义务关系,涉及到各国经济发展的根本利益,已经成为国际政治博弈的新舞台。当前,欧盟与美国正在突破＂共同但有区别的责任＂原则,争夺气候变化谈判中的领导权;发展中国家阵营逐步分化为＂基础四国＂＂小岛屿国家＂＂最贫穷国家＂等。从长期来看,在气候变化问题上,各国有一致的利益,各国际阵营若能表现出更合作的态度——发达国家更负责地转变为低碳生产和生活模式,更慷慨和带有诚意地协助发展中国家减排,发展中国家更深刻地认识到碳排放空间的来之不易和低碳生产生活的迫切性,实现自觉减排——就能帮助遭遇＂囚徒困境＂的世界各国离开个体理性的＂纳什均衡＂,趋向集体理性的＂帕累托最优＂。     

双特碳交易试点如何做？

我国建立碳排放交易体系要实现两个基本目标,或者基于两个前提来进行制度设计：首先是保障我国的发展权,满足经济社会发展所必要的碳排放的基本需求;其次才是通过排放交易体系发现和形成中国的碳价格,使碳长期均衡价格等于社会减排边际成本,以符合经济效益的原则实现全社会减排。     

水泥企业物质流分析

物质流分析（Material Flow Analysis,MFA）在循环经济建设和可持续发展方面研究迅速,相对国家与区域层次,企业MFA研究成果甚少且分析思路不同。本文选取海南省某水泥企业为研究对象,从企业层次对整个熟料和水泥生产过程中的物质输入与输出进行核算,并结合水泥工业清洁生产标准部分指标对计算结果进行评定。最后针对分析结果,对水泥生产特别是资源投入与污染排放方面提出相关改进措施与建议。     

中国开征碳税的政策后果预测

本文是对开征碳税的各种政策后果进行情景模拟的定量研究,既有短期的比较静态分析,又有长期的动态效应分析。在一定的假设条件下模拟分析了计征碳税对于GDP、投资、消费、外贸、物价等主要宏观经济指标的静态和动态影响,以及对居民收入和企业利润的效应。同时深入分析了计征碳税对石油、煤炭、天然气、电力等四类主要行业的碳排放、产量、进出口、价格、税负、成本、利润的影响效应。     

伪“零排放”尴尬了谁？

尽管缺乏具体数据而无法推断环保成本对企业盈利能力的实际影响,但降低成本、增加盈利却是造纸企业“顶风作案”的初衷。造纸的毛利率本来就比较低,成本即使只有几个点的提升,对企业盈利的影响也会很大。     

应合理控制经济社会发展的主要成本

成本既是一个经济领域中的重要概．念,也是一个社会领域中的重要概念,它在许多方面对我们产生着无法回避的影响。回顾经济社会发展的历程,许多美好的经济社会发展蓝图都或多或少地因为受成本问题的困绕而被打了折扣,甚至有一些问题还给我们当前和未来的发展带来了不同程度的后遗症,并形成了新的成本。     

交通拥堵对TSP排放的影响分析

在上海市杨浦区军工路部分路段采集TSP浓度、气压、温度、分车型车流量、区段车速、信号配时等数据,通过多元回归方法分析小型车交通量,大型车交通量,拖挂车交通量及区段车速对TSP浓度的影响,建立起TSP浓度与上述交通变量的函数关系,并通过AIMSUN交通仿真软件以及基础采集数据,建立军工路路网,模拟四种交通拥堵状况(重度拥堵,中度拥堵,轻度拥堵,基本畅通)的产生和消散过程。综合分析路段交通拥堵对道路TSP排放和分布的影响。分析整理得出道路TSP小时排放总量和拥堵程度成正比关系,且TSP污染主要集中在车辆拥挤怠速的部分,车辆拥挤排队的队尾部分是TSP排放源强最高、源强增长最快的区域,增长率达到240%～290%。
