Present Status about Wastewater Treatment at Highway Affiliated Facilities of China

Abstract

The present status about wastewater treatment at highway affiliated facilities of China including characteristics of wastewater and treatment technology, the effect of wastewater treatment were investigated. It was found that wastewater quantity was mainly depending on traffic volume entering the service area. Integrated process of wastewater treatment was the main technology used at highway affiliated facilities. 80.4% of the total devices discharge the water which can meet the “Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (8978-1996)”. About 69.6% of water was discharged into the road ditches, 22.2% was used for greening and flushing toilet. 3.9% of water evaporated naturally, 2.7% of water was discharged into the river, and only 1.6% was used for agricultural irrigation. The results provided scientific reference for the construction, improvement and management of wastewater treatment device at highway affiliated facilities by relevant departments in the future.

“…Ma et al (2008) analyzed the interaction between energy consumption and environmental pollution in transport and discussed the social and economic benefits of energy conservation and emission reduction [20]. studied the positive impact of transportation activities such as tourist roads on ecology, entertainment, culture, and education while bringing tourism value to scenic spots [21]. Li et al (2020) point out that a range of transport policies are used in both developed and developing countries to seek ways to mitigate pollution, showing that transport policies have significant and lasting impacts on urban life and global climate change [22].…”
