大庆地区城市污泥中重金属元素含量水平调查与分析

采用原子吸收光谱法和原子荧光光谱法测定了大庆市四座生活污水处理厂污泥中重金属元素含量,平行测定的相对标准偏差在1.6%~4.6%,加标回收率在93.6%~102.1%,表明方法的精密度和准确度都较好,四个污水处理厂污泥中重金属总量大小依次为ZnCuCrPbNiCd,锌的含量高可能与城市排水管道大多采用镀锌材料以及锌的理化性质有关。将其含量水平与标准比较发现:大庆城市污泥中重金属含量水平不高,完全符合《农用污泥中污染物控制标准》的重金属标准,为城市污泥处理、处置和环境管理提供可靠的数据支持。

以开封县污水处理厂污泥为实验材料,分析了污泥基本理化性质和Cu、Pb、Cr、As、Ni、Zn、Mn等元素的含量,利用BCR提取法研究其存在形态特征,并利用潜在生态危害指数法(RI),对污泥中重金属农用可能带来的潜在风险进行了综合性评价.结果表明,污泥的基本理化性质满足CJ/T309-2009农用泥质标准,污泥中所测元素含量均符合国家农用控制标准(GB 18918-2002),但Zn、Cu、Cr、As、Mn含量高于开封市潮土背景值.污泥中Mn主要以酸溶态和可还原态形式存在,Zn主要以可还原态形式存在,Ni在5种形态的分布差异不大,Cu、Pb主要以有机物结合态形式存在.单因子指数、内梅罗综合污染指数、地累积指数法对供试污泥样品的评价结果均为重污染水平,潜在生态危害指数48.92,属低风险水平.     

施用污泥堆肥对土壤和小白菜重金属积累的影响

以金华市污水处理厂污泥为研究对象,利用它对小白菜进行的盆栽试验,研究了以污泥作堆肥对土壤和小白菜重金属积累的影响.结果表明,随着污泥堆肥施用量的增加,土壤和小白菜地上部组织的Cu、Zn、Cd和Pb含量也呈积累趋势,当施用量为10%时,地上部组织的重金属含量超过国家食品卫生标准.由此说明,在污泥堆肥和利用过程中应进一步严格控制重金属及其在作物体中积累,尤其控制可食部分中重金属的含量和污泥堆肥长期施用过程中的重金属在土壤和作物中的积累.

用红外水分快速测定仪测定污泥含水率

污泥是城市污水处理中分离出来的产物，现在城市污泥的处理办法一般是采用地下填埋的方法。这种方法必然会占用大量的城市用地，在GJ3025—1993城市污水处理厂污水污泥排放标准中，明确规定了在厂内经稳定处理后的城市污水处理厂污泥宜进行脱水处理，其含水率宜小于80％。但要使处理后污泥的含水率降低必然要消耗更大量的絮凝剂和电能，     

北京市污水处理厂中全氟化合物的污染水平

研究了北京市污水处理厂中全氟化合物的污染水平.分别对北京市主要的七个污水处理厂的进出口污水和污泥样品进行了季节性采样,并对样品中的9种全氟化合物进行系统性分析,结果表明在所有的污泥和污水样品中均检测到一定浓度的全氟化合物.污水中主要的全氟化合物是全氟辛酸(PFOA),而在污泥中则为全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS).在进口污水中,全氟化合物总浓度是2.88～176ng/L,出口污水中是5.48～498ng/L,而相应的污泥当中的浓度则为1.21～32.0ng/g(干重).七个污水处理厂中,清河污水处理厂和酒仙桥污水处理厂的样品中全氟化合物的浓度最高,而方庄污水处理厂则最低.我们认为北京市污水处理厂最主要的污染源来自生活污水和商业污水.另外,研究还发现出口污水中全氟化合物的浓度往往要高于进口污水,分析原因是一部分全氟化合物可能是经由污水处理过程中产生的.PFOS浓度恰好相反,它在出口水中的浓度比进口水降低了约62%,造成这种现象的原因可能是在污水处理过程中污泥对PFOS具有较强的吸附作用.经过数据统计分析,我们发现出口污水中的全氟羧酸两两显著性相关,这也表明了这些物质可能具有相似的来源.最后,我们还计算了北京市污水处理厂...     

印染污泥的活性炭负载过渡金属化合物非均相催化臭氧化

采用湿式浸渍法,将6种含过渡金属(Cu,Fe,Zn,Ni,Mn,Ce)元素的化合物负载在活性炭（AC）上,制得6种催化剂AC/M(M=Cu,Fe,Zn,Ni,Mn,Ce),在室温条件下,催化臭氧化处理苯酚溶液和印染污泥。 催化剂AC/M通过Boehm滴定、XRD和BET分析进行表征。 苯酚的3种降解方法中,AC/M催化剂的臭氧催化最好,AC/M吸附处理次之,单独臭氧处理的效果最差。 在苯酚的降解处理过程中,AC/M催化臭氧化处理苯酚溶液的效率依次为：AC/Fe＞AC/Zn＞AC/Ni＞AC/Ce＞AC/Cu＞AC/Mn。 AC/M催化剂催化臭氧化效果随溶液pH值的增大而增强。 AC/M催化剂处理印染污泥的效率依次为：AC/Fe＞AC/Zn＞AC/Ce=AC/Ni＞AC/Cu＞AC/Mn,AC/Fe催化臭氧化处理印染污泥可使污泥中有机质含量降低8.17%。     

城市污水污泥与固体垃圾混烧过程中重金属迁移特性的研究

通过城市污水污泥与固体垃圾合成样品在小型管式焚烧炉内的混烧实验,采集灰渣样品进行XRF化学成分分析和浸出毒性鉴别测试,结合污水污泥焚烧过程中热力学平衡计算,定量表征了污水污泥中Cu、Pb、Zn、 Mn、Ni在焚烧过程中向底灰、飞灰和烟气迁移的特性及对灰渣的毒性影响。研究结果表明,污水污泥混烧显著提高了飞灰和底灰中重金属含量,其中Zn和Pb增加量最大,而Ni、Mn、Cu依次减少;随着有机氯的加入,飞灰中重金属含量呈现递增趋势,其中Zn表现最明显。毒性测试结果显示,污水污泥的混烧也导致了垃圾焚烧飞灰中Zn和Pb的浸出浓度超过中国对危险废物浸出的控制标准值。同时,重金属迁移的热力学平衡模型预测结果与实验结果差距较大。这表明热力学平衡计算方法还需进一步考虑影响重金属氯化物形成的其他因素,如在焚烧过程中反应动力学、焚烧室内氧气含量变化、与其他元素间的化学反应等。

Persistence of Metal Residues in Sewage Sludge Treated Soils Over Seventeen Years

Abstract

Results from two long-term sewage sludge experiments conducted on different soil types are presented. Sewage sludges highly contaminated with Cr, Cu, Ni or Zn and a relatively uncontaminated sludge were applied at both sites at the same rates and metal contents in 1968. The Cr-rich sludge also had a high Cd content. Plot soils were sampled in 1972, 1976 or 1977, 1981 and 1985 and total and extractable metal contents determined. Metals added in sewage sludge may change their form but persist in soils in an extractable and plant available form for many years. There is little difference in soil extractable contents or plant uptake of Cu and Zn whether sludge is applied as one single application or as its equivalent in four separate annual applications of one quarter the amount. The percentages of the total chromium contents extractable by both EDTA and acetic acid were small and this was reflected in a low uptake of this element by pasture herbage species (<0.3 mg Cr/kg DM).     

施用污泥对黑麦草生长及重金属含量的影响

采用单因素随机区组试验的方法,研究了金华市污水厂污泥堆肥对黑麦草生长和对重金属的吸收及富集的影响。结果表明,施用量以1kg／m^2和2kg／m^2的两个处理为宜,当年的产草量比对照分别增加了22．6％和27．8％;施用污泥黑麦草植株地上部组织重金属元素Pb、Cd和Cu的含量与对照相比无显著差异,Zn的积累量增多,重金属含量均未超过植物中的平均含量,施用污泥未对黑麦草造成重金属污染。     

Simultaneous determination of Cd,Cr, Cu,Ni, Pb and Zn in sewage sludge by slurry introduction ICP-OES method

In order to evaluate the slurry nebulisation method as an alternative method for analysis of sewage sludge, the metal content of sludge samples of different origins was determined. The concentrations of six elements: Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined by introducing the sludge as a slurry into an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). Calibration was performed by using aqueous standard solutions. For comparison, the sewage sludge was also digested by microwave digestion and introduced into the plasma as an aqueous solution. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysing a sewage sludge certified reference material (CRM 007-040 Sewage Sludge). The Student's t-test showed that values obtained using slurry nebulisation were close to the certified values at a 95% confidence level. The values of elements Cd 11.1?±?0.8; Cr 37.7?±?3.3; Cu 563.3?±?38.4; Pb 119.2?±?10.1; Zn 729?±?68.2?mg?kg^?1 obtained using this method were comparable with those obtained using the conventional method. The slurry method can, therefore, be successfully applied to the determination of content of each element in sewage sludge with RSD less than 3%, without the need to predissolve them. This could avoid the use of hazardous chemicals, incomplete dissolution and loss of volatile analytes.     

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of vanadium in extracts of soil and sewage sludge certified reference materials after fractionation by means of the Communities Bureau of Reference modified sequential extraction procedure

A modified three-step sequential extraction procedure proposed by the Commission of European Communities Bureau of Reference (BCR) was applied to certified reference materials of three different soil groups (rendzina, luvisol, cambisol) and sewage sludge of different composition originating from a municipal water treatment plant in order to assess potential mobility and the distribution of vanadium in the resulting fractions. Analysis of the extracts was carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman background correction using transversely heated graphite atomizers. Extracts showed significant matrix interferences which were overcome by the standard addition technique. The original soil and sludge certified reference materials (CRMs) and the extraction residue from the sequential extraction were decomposed by a mixture of HNO₃–HClO₄–HF in an open system. The content of V determined after decomposition of the samples was in very good agreement with the certified total values. The accuracy of the sequential extraction procedure was checked by comparing the sum of the vanadium contents in the three fractions and in the extraction residue with the certified total content of V. The amounts of vanadium leached were in good correlation with the certified total contents of V in the CRMs of soils and sewage sludge. In the soils examined, vanadium was present almost entirely in the mineral lattice, while in the sewage sludge samples 9–14% was found in the oxidizable and almost 25% in the reducible fractions. The recovery ranged from 93–106% and the precision (RSD) was below 10%.     

Determination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in sewage sludge by direct hollow fiber supported liquid membrane extraction and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

In this study, a three-phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) method combined with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was developed for direct determination of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen) in sewage sludge. The drugs were extracted from non-spiked and spiked slurry samples with different amounts of sludge into an organic phase and then back-extracted into an aqueous phase held in the lumen of the hollow fiber. High enrichment factors ranging from 2761 to 3254 in pure water were achieved. In sludge samples, repeatability and inter-day precision were tested with relative standard deviation values between 10–18% and 7–15%, respectively. Average concentrations of 29 ± 9, 138 ± 2, 39 ± 5 and 122 ± 7 ng/g were determined in dried sludge from Källby sewage treatment plant (Sweden) for ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen, respectively.     

Energy Properties and Biomass Yield of Miscanthus x Giganteus Fertilized by Municipal Sewage Sludge

The application of municipal sewage sludge as fertilizer in the production of non-food energy crops is an environmentally and economically sustainable approach to sewage sludge management. In addition, the application of municipal sewage sludge to energy crops such as Miscanthus x giganteus is an alternative form of recycling nutrients and organic material from waste. Municipal sewage sludge is a potential source of heavy metals in the soil, some of which can be removed by growing energy crops that are also remediation agents. Therefore, the objective of the research was to investigate the effect of municipal sewage sludge applied at three different rates of 1.66, 3.22 and 6.44 t/ha on the production of Miscanthus. Based on the analyses conducted on the biomass of Miscanthus fertilized with sludge from the wastewater treatment plant in three fertilization treatments, it can be concluded that the biomass of Miscanthus is a good feedstock for the process of direct combustion. Moreover, the application of the largest amount of municipal sewage sludge during cultivation had no negative effect on the properties of Miscanthus biomass. Moreover, the cellulose and hemicellulose content of Miscanthus is ideal for the production of second-generation liquid biofuels. Fertilizer treatments had no effect on the content of cellulose and lignin, while a significant statistical difference was found for hemicellulose.     

Study of the pyrolysis liquids obtained from different sewage sludge

Pyrolysis of sewage sludge in fluidized bed to produce bio-oil is under study as a useful way to valorise this waste. Sewage sludge is the waste produced in the wastewater treatment plants. Its composition may change due to the origin and to the non-standardized treatments in the wastewater treatment plants. The pyrolysis of three samples of anaerobically digested sewage sludge obtained from three different urban wastewater treatment plants was studied in this work. The organic and inorganic matter composition, and the volatile and ash content of these sewage sludge samples were different. The influence of these parameters on the pyrolysis product distribution and on some characteristics of these products was studied. It was determined that the ash content of the raw material had an enormous influence on the sewage sludge pyrolysis. An increase in the ash content of the sewage sludge caused an increase in the gas yield and a decrease in the liquid and the solid yield with the operational conditions studied. The increase of the volatile content of the sewage sludge samples caused an increase in the liquid yield. The H₂ proportion was the most influenced non-condensable gas. It increased significantly with the ash content. The viscosity of the pyrolysis oils decreased when the ash content augmented. On the other hand, the water content depended on the organic composition of the sewage sludge samples. The chemical composition of the pyrolysis oils was also affected by the sewage sludge ash content above all the proportion of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds. These compound groups increased with the augment of the sewage sludge ash content. The oxygen-containing aliphatic compounds and the steroids decreased with the ash content, although its proportion in the sewage sludge liquid was also influenced by the organic matter composition of the sewage sludge samples.     

Comparison of two extraction methods for the analysis of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals in digested sewage sludge

A rapid and reliable analytical method, based on ion-pair extraction, clean-up on Envicarb cartridge and detection by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), was developed for determination of 17 per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in digested sewage sludge. Envicarb cartridge and six labeled internal standards were selected for the elimination/reduction and correction of matrix effects, respectively. As a result, the matrix effect for perfluorooctane sulfonamides (FOSAs) and perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) with carbon chain length from C6 to C14 was lowered to a range of −14% to +28%. However, the matrix effect for other analytes was still great mainly due to the absence of appropriate internal standard. Mean recoveries of the target analytes based on matrix spikes, at different spike levels (10–300 ng/g), ranged from 70% to 169%. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range of 2–20% at different spike levels. The limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged between 0.6 and 30 ng/g. The method was successfully applied to several sewage sludge samples from wastewater treatment plants nearby Zürich, Switzerland. In addition, by comparing the accuracy and precision of ion-pair extraction method and methanol extraction method, we further demonstrated that the ion-pair extraction method can be used for the analysis of PFCs in sludge samples. To our knowledge, this is the first study to extract the PFCs in sewage sludge with ion-pair method and to find unsaturated fluorotelomer carboxylic acids (FTUCAs) in sewage sludge.     

Determination of azoles in sewage sludge from Spanish wastewater treatment plants by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A simple and rapid analytical method for the determination of 16 azoles in sewage sludge has been developed and validated. The method was based on ultrasound-assisted extraction followed by dispersive solid-phase extraction cleanup and liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometric detection. The azoles were selected by their intensive usage as biocides (tebuconazole, propiconazole, cyproconazole and thiabendazole), antimycotic pharmaceuticals (ketoconazole, econazole, fluconazole and clotrimazole) or fungicides in agriculture (difenoconazole, flusilazole, hexaconazole, prochloraz, bromuconazole, epoxiconazole and triticonazole). The recoveries of these compounds through the method were between 71.9 and 115.8%, with relative standard deviations lower than 20%. Detection limits were in the range of 0.5-5.0 ng/g. The developed method was applied to the analysis of azoles in sewage sludge samples collected from 19 Spanish wastewater treatment plants. Although azoles used as biocides or agriculture fungicides were present in a few sludge samples, the pharmaceuticals ketoconazole, econazole and clotrimazole were present in all of the analyzed sludge samples, being ketoconazole the one found at the highest level, representing the 68.6% of the total azole content found in the 19 sludge samples studied.
