城市道路生物滞留带溢流口设计方法探讨

随着生物滞留技术在海绵城市建设中的广泛应用,生物滞留带的优化设计已成为研究热点之一,其中溢流口的合理设计对生物滞留带的雨水径流控制效果和稳定运行具有重要意义。在实际工程应用中,由于缺少溢流口相关水力特性及设计计算方法的系统研究,往往直接把城市道路雨水口移至生物滞留带作为溢流口。然而生物滞留带溢流口与城市道路雨水口水力特征存在较大区别。针对上述问题,通过对生物滞留带溢流口水力特性的分析,计算了常见溢流口的过流能力,并举例对其工程应用选型及设计方法进行了分析,以期为生物滞留带溢流口的优化设计提供依据。     

大纵坡城市道路透水边带截留能力试验

道路是城市重要的交通纽带,一旦发生积水内涝,将导致城市交通瘫痪,甚至危及生命财产安全,特别是山地城市道路普遍存在纵坡大、雨水口截留效率低等突出问题,发生积水内涝和马路洪水的风险较高。针对上述问题,提出了利用透水边带提高大纵坡城市道路雨水径流截留效率的方法。在实验室搭建了城市单车道物理试验模型(比例1∶1),采用人工模拟降雨方法,系统研究了不同透水面积比、不同重现期降雨条件下透水边带对雨水径流的截留效率,并与传统道路雨水口截留能力进行了比较。试验结果表明:相同透水面积比条件下,雨水径流截留能力随着重现期的增大而减小;相同重现期条件下,雨水径流截留能力随着透水面积比的增加而增大,在重现期P=5 a时,透水边带面积比从12.5%增加到50%,雨水径流截留率从72.3%增加到79.3%。与传统雨水口截留能力相比,增加透水边带后雨水径流截留能力可提高30%左右。因此,大纵坡城市道路在不影响交通安全的条件下,可根据道路空间布局特征,通过设置透水边带来提高雨水径流的截流效率。

Adsorption of 17β-estradiol from aqueous solution by raw and direct/pre/post-KOH treated lotus seedpod biochar

Five biochars derived from lotus seedpod(LSP) were applied to examine and compare the adsorption capacity of 17β-estradiol(E2) from aqueous solution.The effect of KOH activation and the order of activation steps on material properties were discussed.The effect of contact time,initial concentration,p H,ionic strength and humic acid on E2 adsorption were investigated in a batch adsorption process.Experimental results demonstrated that the pseudo second-order model fitted the experimental data best and that adsorption equilibrium was reached within 20 hr.The efficiency of E2 removal increased with increasing E2 concentration and decreased with the increase of ionic strength.E2 adsorption on LSP-derived biochar(BCs) was influenced little by humic acid,and slightly affected by the solution p H when its value ranged from 4.0 to 9.0,but considerably affected at p H 10.0.Low environmental temperature is favorable for E2 adsorption.Chemisorption,π–π interactions,monolayer adsorption and electrostatic interaction are the possible adsorption mechanisms.Comparative studies indicated that KOH activation and the order of activation steps had significant impacts on the material.Post-treated biochar exhibited better adsorption capacity for E2 than direct treated,pretreated,and raw LSP biochar.Pyrolyzed biochar at higher temperature improved E2 removal.The excellent performance of BCs in removing E2 suggested that BCs have potential in E2 treatment and that the biochar directly treated by KOH would be a good choice for the treatment of E2 in aqueous solution,with its advantages of good efficiency and simple technology.     

Development of a static test apparatus for evaluating the performance of three PM2.5 separators commonly used in China

PM_(2.5) separator directly affects the accuracy of PM_(2.5) sampling.The specification testing and evaluation for PM_(2.5) separator is particularly important,especially under China's wide variation of terrain and climate.In this study,first a static test apparatus based on polydisperse aerosol was established and calibrated to evaluate the performance of the PM_(2.5) separators.A uniform mixing chamber was developed to make particles mix completely.The aerosol concentration relative standard deviations of three test points at the same horizontal chamber position were less than 0.57%,and the particle size distribution obeyed logarithmic normal distribution with an R~2 of 0.996.The flow rate deviation between the measurement and the set point flow rate agreed to within ± 1.0% in the range of -40 to 50℃.Secondly,the separation,flow and loading characteristics of three cyclone separators(VSCC-A,SCC-A and SCC112) were evaluated using this system.The results showed that the 50% cutoff sizes(D_(50)) of the three cyclones were 2.48,2.47 and 2.44 μm when worked at the manufacturer's recommended flow rates,respectively.The geometric standard deviation(GSD) of the capture efficiency of VSCCA was 1.23,showed a slightly sharper than SCC-A(GSD = 1.27),while the SCC112 did not meet the relevant indicator(GSD = 1.2 ± 0.1) with a GSD = 1.44.The flow rate and loading test had a great effect on D_(50),while the GSD remained almost the same as before.In addition,the maintenance frequency under different air pollution conditions of the cyclones was summarized according to the loading test.     

Chemical characteristics of road dust PM2.5 fraction in oasis cities at the margin of Tarim Basin

In order to understand the compositions characteristics of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) fraction in road dust (RD_2.5) of oasis cities on the edge of Tarim Basin, 30 road dust (RD) samples were collected in Kashi, Cele, and Yutian in the spring, 2018, and RD_2.5 was collected using the resuspension approach. Eight water-soluble ions, 39 trace elements and 8 fractions of carbon-containing species in PM_2.5 were analyzed. Ca²⁺ and Ca were the most abundant ions and elements in RD_2.5 (7.1% and 9.5%). Cl^- in RD_2.5 was affected not only by attributed to saline-alkali soils in oasis cities of the Tarim Basin and dust from Taklimakan Desert but also by human activities. Moreover, the organic carbon/elemental carbon (OC/EC) ratio indicated that carbon components in RD_2.5 in Cele town mainly come from fossil fuel combustion, while those in Yutian and Kashi mainly come from biomass combustion. It is noteworthy that high Ca in RD_2.5 was seriously affected by anthropogenic emissions, and high Na and K contents in RD_2.5 could be derived from soil and desert dust. It was estimated that Cd, Tl, Sn and Cr were emitted from anthropogenic emissions using the enrichment factor. The coefficients of divergence (COD) result indicated that the influence of local emission on road dust emission is greater than that of long-distance transmission. This study is the first time to comprehensively analyze the chemical characteristics of road dust in oasis cities, and the results provides the sources of road dust at the margin of Tarim Basin.     

中温期和高温期污泥堆肥物料中典型氟喹诺酮类抗生素去除的影响因素

污泥处理后土地利用是氟喹诺酮类抗生素（fluoroquinolones,FQs）进入土壤环境的主要途径之一。好氧堆肥具有高效去除FQs、削减其环境风险的潜力,但目前对于堆肥过程中各阶段物料FQs去除影响因素的研究仍较少。该研究在制备典型城市污泥好氧堆肥获取其中温期、高温期物料的基础上,向堆肥中添加2种典型的FQs（ofloxacin,OFL;norfloxacin,NOR）,在不同FQs初始浓度（0,2.5,5.0 mg/kg）、含水率（50%、60%、70%）和通风量（0,15 mL/min）条件下,进行56 d的抗生素去除试验,控制各堆肥物料在其对应堆肥阶段温度（中温期物料,35℃;高温期物料,55℃）。结果表明:2种物料中FQs去除率均随着初始浓度上升而逐步下降,中温期物料最佳初始FQs浓度分别为5.0 mg/kg（OFL）、2.5 mg/kg（NOR）,对于高温期物料两者均为2.5 mg/kg;中温期物料中,FQs去除率随含水率增加先上升后下降,最佳含水率均为60%,高温期物料中,FQs去除率随含水率升高而逐步增加;2种物料中,通风量15 mL/min下的FQs去除率均明显高于未通风处理。与中温期物料对比,高温期物料中FQs去除过程需要较低的初始浓度和较高的含水率;在2种物料中,充分通风下FQs的去除率均明显高于未通风处理。
