Abstract(2268) PDF(3665KB)(555)
Abstract:
In order to identify the migration transformation process of phosphorus in water body and sediments in Qixing wetland, the concentration and distribution of phosphorus in surface water and porewater were analyzed, the morphological distribution characteristics of phosphorus in sediments studied, and the diffusion flux of phosphorus in the sediment-overlying water interface measured. Pearson correlation analysis was used to distinguish the different forms of phosphorus in water body and sediments. The results showed that the spatial distribution characteristics of total phosphorus in water body and sediments were slightly different. The concentration of TP in water body and sediments was higher at the entrance of the Xixiao River and the Wanquan River, and the concentration in both of them was lower at the Yangchang River. At the same time, the concentration of TP in the mainstream at exports of the wetlands was lower. IP was the main form of TP in sediments, accounting for 68.27%-87.41%. The proportion order of various forms of phosphorus in IP was NaOH-rP> HCl-P> Res-P> NaOH-nrP> BD-P. The diffusion flux of phosphorus in sediment-overlying water interface was positive, and the results showed that the sediments were important sources of phosphorus in the overlying water. Pearson correlation analysis also showed that BD-P from sediments was one of important inputs of phosphorus in body water, and TP and IP in sediments were mainly controlled by NaOH-rP.

2014, 4(2): 129-134. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2014.02.022
Abstract(2228) PDF(771KB)(671)
Abstract:
The starch/polycaprolactone (PCL) blends (SPCL5) were prepared by twin-screw extruder. The water absorption and leaching characteristics of SPCL5 were studied, and the feasibility and efficiency also investigated in batch experiment using SPCL5 as carbon source and biofilm carrier simultaneously. The results showed that a high release of DOC was observed during the first 3 d after leaching, and then DOC decreased significantly to 1.31 mg/L. The water absorption of SPCL5 was equilibrated in the 1st d which reached 30.97%. SPCL5 could serve as solid carbon source for denitrification from low C/N nitrate-contaminated water. A high denitrification performance was observed after just 1 d acclimatization. After inoculation, the average denitrification rate of SPCL5 was 0.020 8 mg/(g·h). Hydrodynamic shear force played an important role in denitrification process, The denitrification rate increased by about 100% when the rotating speed increasing from 70 r/min to 140 r/min. A negligible effect on denitrification rate was received when the influent concentration of NO3-N ranged from 15-50 mg/L, and the denitrification was a zero-order reaction. The IR analysis confirmed the biodegradation of starch and PCL in SPCL5 blends.

2014, 4(2): 135-143. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2014.02.023
Abstract(2007) PDF(1019KB)(972)
Abstract:
Based on polluting sources survey data of 2010 and environmental statistical data from 2001 to 2010 in Gansu Province, Qinghai Province and Xinjiang Province and through scenario analysis method, the water environment evolution tendency was studied under the economic development status in key regions of Northwest inland river basins. Three levels of approaches were proposed to release the pressure. The first is to reinforce pollutant discharge reduction by production structure adjustment and wastewater treatment measures, hence to increase the production and decrease the pollution. The second is to seek space for industrial development through controlling domestic pollution sources from the perspective of regional discharge reduction system and thus realize the economic growth and the pollution reduction, in the case that promoting efficiency of treating wastewater is not enough. The third is to introduce the “none input into river” management to solve the wastewater problem so as to realize the increase of economy and improvement of water quality, when neither controlling domestic discharges nor promoting industrial pollution treatment efficiency is enough to release water environment pressure.

Abstract(1951) PDF(886KB)(1085)
Abstract:
As the development of economy and increase of global trade, China imports more and more wastes as raw materials. The imported wastes have the special role of both resource supplement and potential environmental risk. Therefore, the study on this area becomes a non-negligible direction in international trade. From the perspective of import trade, the product, supply, technology spillover and industrial optimization effects of imported wastes that could be used for raw materials were analyzed, and their affecting mechanisms on domestic resource saving and industrial structure adjustment investigated. The domestic environmental management constrains under which imported wastes as raw materials could generate positive environmental effects were illustrated. The approaches to fully exert the resource saving effects of imported wastes as raw materials and to alleviate the resource shortage in China were proposed, including improving the existing waste import management laws and regulations, emphasizing the positive role of imported wastes as raw materials, maintaining foreign trade balance, and strengthening trade cooperation of imported wastes as raw materials.

2014, 4(2): 150-157. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2014.02.025
Abstract(2096) PDF(1056KB)(863)
Abstract:
Batch tests were carried out to analyze the influences of hydrothermal pre-treatment on anaerobic fermentation type and hydrogen production by measuring the variation of soluble chemical oxygen demand (CODs), total chemical oxygen demand (CODt), crude protein content, C/N and metabolites. Using Gompertz kinetics model, the change of anaerobic fermentation system boot speed, cumulative hydrogen production and hydrogen production rate caused by hydrothermal pre-treatment were studied. The result showed that floatable oil could be affected by hydrothermal pre-treatment which obtained a maximum yield of 97.5 mL/kg, and then the content of CODs and C/N changed significantly. The analysis of VFAs and ethanol concentration proved that hydrothermal pre-treatment can change the kitchen waste anaerobic metabolic pathways of hydrogen production from mainly propionic acid into butyric acid metabolic pathways. The 90℃-30 min pre-treatment which got a highest degree of specific hydrogen production yield at 242.1 mL/g(VSS) could shift the butyric acid into acetic acid and hydrogen by the effect of microorganism. The hydrothermal pre-treatment could affect the characteristic of carbohydrates, protein and fat in kitchen waste, thereby affecting hydrogen and acid production by anaerobic fermentation type of kitchen waste to achieve the purposes of enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen production performance by kitchen waste anaerobic hydrogen production.

Abstract(2196) PDF(747KB)(1177)
Abstract:
The neural network method to forecast the heating value of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a new way to estimate heating value of MSW by using statistics of economy and natural environment. Indicated by Grey Correlation Coefficient, there are four key factors that affect the heating value of MSW, including rate of gas utilization, annual rainfall, per capita annual living expenditures of urban households and GDP.A social-economic statistics based BP neural network estimation model of the heating value of MSW was established, by using MATLAB with the statistics of those key factors and the historical tracking results of heating value of MSW from Chendu City. The closed set and open set test show that the model has a high precision and stabilization. It can do simulation effectively with data outside of the training sample and can perform fast training.
