王宇鹏

Speaker Bio

Wang Yupeng, PhD/Professor. He obtained his Ph.D. Environmental Engineering (2012) from the University of Kitakyushu, Japan. Then he joined the Heat Island Group at the Concordia University, Canada, funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada. Prof. Wang worked as an urban planner in NIKKEN SEKKEI, the largest architecture and planning firm in Japan, which has many international projects. After joining into Xi’an Jiaotong University, he was awarded the Shaanxi Hundred Youth Talent Program in 2017, and “AIUE-O Prize” from Asia Institute of Urban Environment in 2019. His research experiences includes sustainable urban planning design, urban environmental modeling and evaluation, urban thermal comfort, and urban heat island reduction. Up to now, he is leading two research projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China. He has published 17 SCI papers, and 13 of them were published as a first/corresponding author.

Abstract

The large scale and high speed urban development is changing the urban typology in big cities of China. The micro-scaled urban planning and the building layouts are leading to distribution of population density, urban surface variation, and urban roughness variation, which caused the urban environmental problems such like urban heat island and urban air pollution. How to balance the urban functional planning for supporting the economic development and the environmental impacts from urban design is the challenge for urban planners and policy makers. This lecture introduces examples about environmental urban planning in different cities, and discuss about the application of theories of sustainable urban developments.

大规模、快速度的城市开发正在改变中国大城市的空间形态。小尺度的城市规划与建筑布局导致人口密度分布的不同、城市表面变化、城市粗糙度变化等一系列因素的改变，进而导致城市热岛效应、空气污染等环境问题的产生。如何平衡用以支撑城市社会经济发展的功能布局与开发，以及城市设计带来的环境影响，成为了城市规划师与决策者所面临的重要挑战。本讲座将介绍不同城市中的环境城市规划案例，并探讨可持续城市发展理论的应用方法。

Abstract

In this study, a novel biological oxidation-settling tank (BOST) was designed to treat micro-polluted water. The new technology is based on the designing concepts of rotating biological contactor and horizontal flow settling tank. The pollutant removal performances of the BOST were systemically evaluated under varied organic loading rate (OLR), hydraulic retention time (HRT), and disc rotation speed. The microbial characteristics and the removal mechanism of pollutants were also illustrated. The findings demonstrated the advantages of BOST in achieving a simultaneous removal of suspended solids (SS), organic compounds and ammonium in a short HRT, which means that the treatment unit requires a small footprint and it can decrease the DBPs formation potential by dramatically reducing the dissolved organic compounds.

在这项研究中，我们设计了一种新型的生物氧化沉降池(BOST)用于处理微污染水。这项新工艺是基于旋转生物接触器和水平流沉降池的理念设计而成的，对不同有机负荷率，水力停留时间和圆盘转速的条件下，BOST对污染物去除性能进行了系统评估测试，阐明了微生物的特性和污染物的去除机理。结果表明，BOST的优势在于可以在较短的水力停留时间内，同时去除悬浮固体（SS），有机化合物和铵，这意味着处理单元所需的空间很小，而且可以通过显著减少溶解性有机污染物来降低DBPs形成风险。
