Material suppliers and industrial metabolism

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is not sufficiently tailored to the analysis of strategic environmental problems of material suppliers. Sustainable development calls for a reduction by a factor of 10 to 20 in the material intensity of the economy, a situation which leads to dramatic shifts in markets for raw materials. Furthermore, a material supplier might have major improvement options in the material’s numerous downstream uses. LCAs, however, can’t cover these two aspects. An adapted form of Substance Flow Analysis (SFA) may be an answer. This approach defines a system in relation to the flow of a specific material through society. All environmental interventions related to the material are inventoried. An emission evaluation indicates the dominant environmental bottlenecks, given the current market volume of each application of the material. This helps to identify improvement options and strategic choices in market portfolios. Scenario analysis on potential measures can further indicate changes of material flows — and thus markets — in the system. The approach is illustrated with a case study on chlorine.

Life cycle analysis and choice of natural gas-based automotive alternative fuels in Chongqing Municipality,China

Road transport produces significant amounts of emissions by using crude oil as the primary energy source. A reduction of emissions can be achieved by implementing alternative fuel chains. The objective of this study is to carry out an economic, environmental and energy (EEE) life cycle study on natural gas-based automotive fuels with conventional gasoline in an abundant region of China. A set of indices of four fuels/vehicle systems on the basis of life cycle are assessed in terms of impact of EEE, in which natural gas produces compressed natural gas (CNG), methanol, dimethylether (DME) and Fischer Tropsch diesel (FTD). The study included fuel production, vehicle production, vehicle operation, infrastructure and vehicle end of life as a system for each fuel/vehicle system. A generic gasoline fueled car is used as a baseline. Data have been reviewed and modified based on the best knowledge available to Chongqing local sources. Results indicated that when we could not change electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles into commercial vehicles on a large scale, direct use of CNG in a dedicated or bi-fuel vehicle is an economical choice for the region which is most energy efficient and more environmental friendly. The study can be used to support decisions on how natural gas resources can best be utilized as a fuel/energy resource for automobiles, and what issues need to be resolved in Chongqing. The models and approaches for this study can be applied to other regions of China as long as all the assumptions are well defined and modified to find a substitute automotive energy source and establish an energy policy in a specific region.

16SrDNA克隆文库解析AO-MBR系统中细菌种群多样性

采用分子生物学手段16S rDNA克隆文库方法对缺氧/好氧膜生物反应器(AO-MBR)的好氧池与缺氧池中细菌进行了多样性研究。实验结果表明,好氧池污泥样品的克隆文库包括9个类群,其中变形菌(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌(Bacteroidetes)在文库中所占比例最大,分别为37.04%和14.81%;其次是酸杆菌(Acidobacteria)、未培养菌(uncultured bacterium)、绿菌(Chlorobi)和未培养的绿弯菌(uncultured Chloroflexi bacterium)、浮霉状菌(Planctomycetes),分别为11.11%、11.11%、7.41%、7.41%和5.56%;硝化螺旋菌(Nitrospirae)和裸藻门(Euglenozoa)所占比例相对较小,均为1.85%。缺氧池样品克隆文库包括10个类群,其中变形菌(Proteobacteria)、拟杆菌(Bacteroidetes)和未培养菌(uncultured bacterium)在文库中所占比例最大,分别为27.91%、13.95%和12.79%;其次是浮霉状菌(Planctomycetes)、酸杆菌(Acidobacteria)和绿弯菌(Chloroflexi),在文库中所占比例分别为9.3%、9.3%和9.3%;硝化螺旋菌(Nitrospirae)、裸藻门(Euglenozoa)、芽单胞菌(Gemmatimonadetes)和放线菌(Actinobacteria)所占比例相对较少,分别为6.98%、8.14%、1.16%和1.16%。两池细菌的主要类群相似,但菌属及比例有所差异,变形菌是系统中的主要脱氮菌属。     

城市污水处理过程中不同形态氮类营养物的转化特性

针对不同形态氮类营养物在城市污水处理系统中迁移转化机理尚不明确这一问题,通过现场监测和实验室模拟分析,研究不同形态氮类营养物在整个城市污水处理系统(A/A/O工艺)中的转化特性。研究结果表明,在原污水总氮中溶解态氮和颗粒态氮比例相当,浓度分别为39.28 mg/L和41.24 mg/L,无机氮是溶解态氮的主要成分,比例占93.2%(36.61 mg/L),而有机氮含量极少,仅为2.67 mg/L。在颗粒态氮中有机氮比重很大,约占96.58 %(39.83 mg/L)。在整个一级处理过程中溶解态氮变化量很小,而颗粒态有机氮减少了45%,总氮降低主要是由于颗粒态有机氮通过沉淀作用去除而实现的。现场监测和模拟实验结果表明,溶解性有机氮在厌氧区和缺氧区中由于被厌氧微生物降解而大幅度减少,而在好氧区却有一定程度的增加。二级出水中的氮主要还是以无机氮为主,可通过进一步优化工艺参数来强化系统硝化/反硝化作用,去除污水中残留的无机氮。

本研究针对二恶英削减及降低成本选用优质国产活性炭,对一典型城市生活垃圾焚烧发电厂(MSWI)的"活性炭喷射+布袋除尘过滤"系统优化。在实际工况条件下,对3个活性炭投加速率(5、10和15 kg/h)下所获得的二恶英的排放浓度、去除效率及去除特征进行评价。结果发现,(1)选用的活性炭对二恶英具有优越的去除效果,5 kg/h投加速率即可使去除效率达到99.0%,排放浓度下降到低于改用前的1/10,远低于欧盟排放标准;(2)3个投加实验在二恶英的排放浓度、总去除效率、去除特征上并没有表现出显著差异,综合考虑认为,5 kg/h(150 mg/Nm3)是合理的工程应用依据;(3)本研究成功的实验结果说明,选用的活性炭品质能满足工程需求,其表征特点可作为未来活性炭选用的依据,即孔径分布主要集中在2~5 nm之间,属于中孔范围中靠近微孔区域,比表面积大于500 m2/g,比孔容积大于0.2 cm3/g。     

沼气增温与控制系统的设计与仿真

冬季北方寒冷地区温度偏低,难以满足大中型沼气厌氧发酵系统对于温度的要求。为了解决该问题,针对天津地区某奶牛场沼气工程,设计了一套回收发电机余热并辅助电加热为发酵罐体供热的沼气增温控制系统,且实验确定最佳控制温度为35℃。在该系统中,罐体内部均匀布置竖直型循环加热管路,从而使料液温度分布更加均匀,热响应更加迅速,6 d左右即可将发酵罐内发酵料液提升到所需最佳温度;另外,采用罐内部温度及循环水流量的反馈调节,使料液的温度波动维持在±1℃范围内,解决了在冬季由于温度过低而导致沼气产气率偏低、甚至停滞的问题;同时,采用MATLAB软件对基于F-PID及传统PID的温度控制系统进行了仿真。对比结果表明,F-PID控制器较传统PID控制器超调量减小3℃,响应时间缩短60%,表明F-PID系统具有更高的效率、稳定性及实用价值。
