地膜覆盖对菜地垄沟CH4和N2O排放的影响

为了探讨地膜覆盖对菜地垄沟温室气体CH₄和N₂O排放的影响,以位于西南大学农业部重庆紫色土生态环境重点野外科学观测试验站内辣椒-萝卜轮作菜地为研究对象,采用静态暗箱/气相色谱法,进行为期1 a的田间原位观测.本试验设置常规和覆膜两种处理方式,研究地膜覆盖对菜地垄沟中CH₄和N₂O排放的影响.结果表明,地膜覆盖能极显著提高土壤全年pH（P<0.01）,显著提高全年的地表温度和地下5 cm温度（P<0.05）,显著提高萝卜季土壤含水率（P<0.05）.不论是辣椒季还是萝卜季,覆膜显著降低了垄的CH₄排放（P<0.05）,辣椒季垄的CH₄平均排放通量常规和覆膜处理分别为0.110 mg·（m²·h）^-1和0.028 mg·（m²·h）^-1,萝卜季分别为0.011 mg·（m²·h）^-1和-0.019 mg·（m²·h）^-1,但覆膜对沟的CH₄排放没有显著影响（P>0.05）,辣椒季常规和覆膜处理分别为0.058 mg·（m²·h）^-1和0.057 mg·（m²·h）^-1,萝卜季分别为0.083 mg·（m²·h）^-1和0.092 mg·（m²·h）^-1,对比垄和沟,除了辣椒季常规处理下垄CH₄排放量显著高于沟,其它均为沟显著高于垄,这与西南地区较高的降雨量下沟内较稳定的缺氧环境有关.覆膜处理对N₂O没有显著影响,辣椒季垄N₂O的平均排放通量常规和覆膜处理下分别为65.41 μg·（m²·h）^-1和68.39 μg·（m²·h）^-1,萝卜季分别为78.43 μg·（m²·h）^-1和66.19 μg·（m²·h）^-1,辣椒季沟N₂O的平均排放通量分别为19.82 μg·（m²·h）^-1和22.85 μg·（m²·h）^-1,萝卜季分别为35.80 μg·（m²·h）^-1和40.00 μg·（m²·h）^-1,均无显著差异（P>0.05）,对比垄和沟,垄N₂O的排放量显著高于沟,N₂O主要由垄向大气排放.CH₄排放通量与地表及地下5 cm温度呈显著正相关,N₂O的排放通量仅与碱解氮和铵态氮含量呈显著正相关.     

铁碳微电解填料对人工湿地温室气体排放的影响

随着全球气候变暖的问题日益严重,人工湿地中温室气体的减排措施也受到越来越多的关注.铁碳微电解填料对废水处理效果良好且具备温室气体减排的潜力,为探究铁碳微电解对间歇曝气人工湿地温室气体排放的影响,本研究构建了以铁碳微电解填料+砾石（湿地Ⅰ）、铁碳微电解填料+沸石（湿地Ⅱ）、沸石（湿地Ⅲ）以及砾石（湿地Ⅳ）为基质的4组人工湿地,并利用间歇曝气技术对湿地系统进行了增氧.结果表明,铁碳微电解填料显著提高了间歇曝气人工湿地的脱氮效果,且具备对人工湿地温室气体的减排作用.与湿地Ⅳ相比,湿地Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ的CH₄排放通量分别平均降低了32.81%（P<0.05）、52.66%（P<0.05）和54.50%（P<0.05）,其中沸石对CH₄的减排效果较优,能显著降低曝气段和非曝气段人工湿地CH₄的排放.铁碳微电解填料明显减少了N₂O的排放,与湿地Ⅳ相比,湿地Ⅰ和Ⅱ分别实现N₂O减排30.29%~60.63%（P<0.05）和43.10%~73.87%（P<0.05）.各组湿地系统在典型周期内排放的CH₄和N₂O引起的综合GWP（以CO₂-eq计）分别为（85.21±6.48）、（49.24±3.52）、（127.97±11.44）和（137.13±11.45）g·m^-2,铁碳微电解填料与沸石的联合使用有效实现了人工湿地温室气体的减排.总体而言,湿地Ⅱ在间歇曝气的条件下对污水净化效果最好,温室气体的减排效果最佳.     

外源碳和氮输入对降水变化下土壤呼吸的短期影响

利用野外原位小区控制试验,模拟研究了降水变化下草地生态系统土壤呼吸对外源碳和氮输入的响应.在2014年,以内蒙古锡林河流域温带典型草原为研究对象,测定了增加降水处理（CK）、增加降水配施氮肥处理[CN,2.5 g·（m²·a）^-1]、增加降水配施碳源处理[CG,24 g·（m²·a）^-1]和增加降水配施氮肥和碳源处理[CNG,2.5 g·（m²·a）^-1+24 g·（m²·a）^-1]下土壤呼吸的变化,并分析了土壤呼吸与土壤温度、土壤水分、土壤可溶性有机碳（DOC）、土壤微生物量碳（MBC）之间的关系.结果表明,在自然降水较多的第一次增加降水（FWE）阶段,CG处理和CNG处理168 h土壤CO₂累积通量显著增加,而CN处理168 h土壤CO₂累积通量无显著变化,并且CG处理和CNG处理土壤MBC含量显著高于CK处理和CN处理,同时,该阶段平均CO₂释放速率与土壤MBC含量正相关（P<0.05）.与FWE阶段相比,无自然降水的第二次增加降水（SWE）阶段各处理168 h土壤CO₂累积释放量显著降低,并且各处理MBC含量也显著降低（P<0.05）,仅有土壤DOC含量显著增加（P<0.05）,CG处理和CN处理168 h土壤CO₂累积通量显著降低（P<0.05）.两个降水阶段土壤呼吸速率与土壤温度或土壤体积含水量均有显著的正相关性（P<0.05）.因此,自然降水的分布对土壤水分的影响调控着外源氮和碳对半干旱草地生态系统土壤呼吸的作用效应.     

小型养殖塘水体中CH4、CO2和N2O浓度的时空变化特征及影响因素

养殖塘作为重要的温室气体排放源,水体中温室气体浓度的变化不仅是准确量化温室气体排放量的基础,还是明确其影响因素的重要依据.基于顶空平衡-气相色谱仪法对长三角一处典型的小型养殖塘水体中CH₄、CO₂和N₂ O浓度的时空变化特征以及影响因素进行了分析.结果表明,除春季外,在水温影响下,CH₄和N₂ O浓度在午间或午后出现高值;受水温和水生植物光合作用影响,CO₂浓度的高值出现在晨间光合作用较弱的时候.养殖塘水体中CH₄和CO₂浓度呈现秋季最高、冬季最低的季节变化特征,c（CH₄）在秋季和冬季的均值分别为176.34 nmol·L^-1和32.75 nmol·L^-1,主要受气温、水温和溶解氧（DO）影响;c（CO₂）秋季和冬季的均值分别为134.37 μmol·L^-1和23.10 μmol·L^-1,主要受水生植物光合作用和pH影响;c（N₂ O）在夏季最高,冬季最低,均值分别为97.05 nmol·L^-1和19.41 nmol·L^-1,主要受气温和水温影响.在空间上,垂直方向上,夏季养殖塘c（CH₄）随水深的加深而降低,表层与底层、中间层的浓度差值为71.28 nmol·L^-1和42.80 nmol·L^-1,秋季随水深的加深而升高,底层与表层的浓度差值为163.94 nmol·L^-1.c（CO₂）在夏季和秋季都表现为随着水深的加深而升高,其底层与表层的浓度差值分别为18.69 μmol·L^-1和29.90 μmol·L^-1.N₂ O浓度在垂直方向上无明显变化规律.水平方向上,夏季饲料及春季鸡粪投放的区域会出现CH₄、CO₂和N₂ O浓度的高值,春季和夏季CH₄浓度约为其他区域的1.34~1.98倍和1.95~2.42倍,春季N₂ O浓度和夏季CO₂浓度约为其他区域的1.13~1.26倍和1.39~1.74倍.     

转变土地利用方式对桂西喀斯特地区土壤氧化CH4的影响

选取桂西喀斯特地区分布最广的石灰土和黄壤,通过野外通量观测和实验室CH₄氧化动力学试验,研究弃耕或退耕还林对土壤CH₄通量的影响。结果表明,对于石灰土,CH₄年均通量为弃耕地LS-3[-64.30 μg/（m²·h）] > 灌草地LS-1 [-48.96 μg/（m²·h）] > 旱地LS-2[29.61 μg/（m²·h）];对于黄壤,退耕林地YS-2[-36.95 μg/（m²·h）] > 旱地YS-1[-29.44 μg/（m²·h）]。各点土壤CH₄氧化速率动力学遵循米氏方程,最大CH₄氧化速率（V_max）介于400～4 347 pmol/（g·h）之间,半饱和常数值介于72～878.3 μL/L之间,石灰土土壤V_max值是黄壤的两倍以上,具有更高的氧化潜力。土壤CH₄通量的季节变化不明显,释放峰或吸收峰出现在秋冬季节。温度有利于促进土壤对大气CH₄的吸收。土壤水分对土壤氧化CH₄的抑制作用在受人为干扰少的LS-1和LS-3表现显著,而对于旱地LS-2,YS-1及林地YS-2,NH₄⁺-N含量成为土壤氧化CH₄的主要限制因素。总之,土壤恢复有利于土壤氧化大气CH₄,这不仅取决于土壤理化性质、甲烷微生物群落的变化,还受到区域气候因素的影响。     

水分管理对水稻生长与根际激发效应的影响特征

作物根际沉积碳输入而引起的根际激发效应,对农田土壤碳排放通量和碳平衡起到关键的调控作用.在稻田生态系统中,由于频繁的干湿交替,土壤CO₂和CH₄排放以及根际激发效应明显有别于其他自然生态系统.因此,明确稻田生态系统干湿交替过程中水稻根际激发效应的方向与强度,对于减缓稻田温室气体排放具有重要意义.本研究采用¹³C-CO₂连续标记法,结合盆栽试验,研究干湿交替和持续淹水条件下,水稻生长以及根际激发效应的响应特征.结果表明,相对于持续淹水处理,干湿交替处理使水稻地上部和根系生物量以及根冠比显著提高,并增加了土壤微生物生物量.持续淹水条件下,¹³CO₂和¹³CH₄排放通量随水稻生长由10.2 μg·（kg·h）^-1和2.8 μg·（kg·h）^-1（63 d）增加到16.0 μg·（kg·h）^-1和3.2 μg·（kg·h）^-1（75 d）.而在干湿交替条件下,经过12 d的落干处理¹³CO₂和¹³CH₄排放通量分别降低了57.5%和88.1%.持续淹水条件下,CO₂和CH₄的根际激发效应表现为正激发效应,而且随水稻的生长而增加.而干湿交替处理下,经过12 d的落干处理,CO₂和CH₄的根际激发效应分别由0.29 mg·（kg·h）^-1和12.3 μg·（kg·h）^-1（63 d）降低到-0.39 mg·（kg·h）^-1和0.07 μg·（kg·h）^-1（75 d）.因此,干湿交替处理,能有效促进水稻生长和降低CH₄的累计排放量.合理地田间水分管理对于提高水稻产量和降低温室气体排放具有重要意义.

近年来,国务院颁布的《大气污染防治行动计划》和《打赢蓝天保卫战三年行动计划》对我国空气质量的全面改善起到了重要作用,然而,当前鲜有对四川盆地两大政策实施效果进行评估以及对政策实施后PM_2.5化学组分新特征的针对性研究.2017年和2020年分别是两大污染减排政策实施效果评估的关键时期,为对两时期成都市大气PM_2.5及其中碳质组分特征进行全面了解,分别于2016年10月至2017年7月和2020年12月在成都市区进行了PM_2.5的连续采样,并对其中有机碳（OC）和元素碳（EC）进行了分析.结果表明：①2016~2017年成都市ρ（PM_2.5）平均值为（114.0±76.4）μg·m^-3,最高值出现在冬季,可达（193.3±98.5）μg·m^-3,是浓度最低季节春季［（73.8±32.3）μg·m^-3］的2.6倍,而这种严重的冬季污染在2020年出现了明显改善,对应的ρ（PM_2.5）为（96.0±39.3）μg·m^-3,降幅达50.3%.②2016~2017年ρ（OC）和ρ（EC）的平均值分别为（21.1±16.4）μg·m^-3和（1.9±1.3）μg·m^-3,分别占PM_2.5的质量分数为18.5%和1.7%;ρ（OC）季节变化特征为：冬季［（40.6±21.5）μg·m^-3］>秋季［（17.0±7.0）μg·m^-3］>夏季［（14.4±3.9）μg·m^-3］>春季［（12.6±6.0）μg·m^-3］,而各季节ρ（EC）水平接近（1.3~2.4 μg·m^-3）;二次有机碳（SOC）是OC的重要组成,可占OC的质量分数为44.5%.相比2016年冬季,2020年冬季ρ（OC）降至（19.2±9.1）μg·m^-3,降幅达52.7%,EC则升高了26.1%.③随污染加重,各碳质组分及其贡献变化趋势各异,相比2016年冬季,2020年冬季OC随污染加重贡献更加趋于稳定,而SOC占比升高更为明显,二次有机组分贡献不容忽视.④各季节气团来向和污染物潜在源区均呈现出了明显差异;与2016年冬季相比,虽然2020年冬季主要气团来向未发生明显变化,但各轨迹对应的污染物浓度均出现了大幅降低,且污染物潜在源区向东部区域扩展明显.     

淡水沼泽湿地CO2、CH4和N2O排放通量年际变化及其对氮输入的响应

利用静态暗箱-气相色谱法自2002～2004年连续3a观测了三江平原淡水沼泽湿地CO₂、CH₄和N₂O 3种主要温室气体排放特征及外源氮素输入条件下温室气体通量的变化.结果表明,三江平原CO₂、CH₄和N₂O 3种主要温室气体排放具有明显的季节及年际变化规律.其中生态系统呼吸CO₂排放的最大值[779.33～965.40 mg·(m·h)^-1]出现在7、8月份,CH4通量最大值[19.19～30.52 mg·(m·h)^-1]出现在8月,N₂O通量最大值[0.072～0.15 mg·(m·h)^-1]出现在5月和9月,3种温室气体通量最小值CO₂为2.36～18.73 mg·(m·h)^-1;CH₄为-0.35～0.59 mg·(m·h)^-1;N₂O为-0.032～-0.009 mg·(m·h)^-1大都出现在冬季,且冬季淡水沼泽湿地表现为N2O的吸收.对气候因子的分析发现,温度条件是影响淡水沼泽湿地温室气体排放通量季节性变化的主要因子,而降水和积水水位变化是影响其排放年际变化的关键因素,特别是降水对CH₄排放通量的影响较其它2种温室气体更显著,且冬季雪融水对夏季CH₄的排放起重要作用.CO₂和CH4排放与土壤温度(5cm)呈显著的指数相关关系,而N₂O排放通量与土壤温度和水深相关性不显著.氮输入促进了三江平原CO₂、CH₄和N₂O 3种主要温室气体的排放,与对照处理相比,其排放通量分别升高了34%,145%和110%.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.     

基于综合水质标识指数和对应分析法的校园河道水质评价

Effects of chitosan on growth of an aquatic plant (Hydrilla verticillata) in polluted waters with different chemical oxygen demands

Effects of chitosan on a submersed plant, Hydrilla verticillata, were investigated. Results indicated that H. venicillata could prevent ultrastructure phytotoxicities and oxidativereaction from polluted water with high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in H. verticillata treated with 0.1% chitosan in wastewater increased with high COD (980 mg/L) and decreased with low COD (63 mg/L), respectively. Ultrastructural analysis showed that the stroma and grana of chloroplast basically remained normal. However, plant cells from the control experiment (untreated with chitosan) were vacuolated and the cell interval increased. The relict of protoplast moved to the center, with cells tending to disjoint. Our findings indicate that wastewater with high COD concentration can cause a substantial damage to submersed plant, nevertheless, chitosan probably could alleviate the membrane lipid peroxidization and ultrastructure phytotoxicities, and protect plant cells from stress of high COD concentration polluted water.     

Removal of cadmium using MnO2 loaded D301 resin

MnO2 loaded weak basic anion exchange resin D301 （Anion exchange resin, macroreticular weak basic styrene） as adsorbent has been prepared and applied to the removal of cadmium. The adsorption characteristics have been investigated with respect to effect of pH, equilibrium isotherms, removal kinetic data, and interference of the coexisting ions. The results indicated that the Cd^2＋ could be efficiently removed using MnO2 loaded D301 resin in the pH range of 3-8 from aqueous solutions with the co-existence of high concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals ions. The saturate adsorption capacity of the Cd^2＋ was 77.88 mg/g. The adsorption process followed the pseudo first-order kinetics. The equilibrium data obtained in this study accorded excellently with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Evaluation of phytoextracting cadmium and lead by sunflower, ricinus, alfalfa and mustard in hydroponic culture

Soil contaminated with heavy metals cadmium(Cd)and lead(Pb)is hard to be remediated.Phytoremediation may be a feasible method to remove toxic metals from soil,but there are few suitable plants which can hyperaccumulate metals.In this study,Cd and Pb accumulation by four plants including sunflower(Helianthus annuus L.),mustard(Brassica juncea L.),alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.), ricinus(Ricinus communis L.)in hydroponic cultures was compared.Results showed that these plants could phytocxtract heavy metals, the ability of accumulation differed with species,concentrations and categories of heavy metals.Values of BCF(bioconcentration factor)and TF(translocation factor)indicated that four species had dissimilar abilities of phytoextraction and transportation of heavy metals.Changes on the biomass of plants,pH and Eh at different treatments revealed that these four plants had distinct responses to Cd and Pb in cultures.Measurements should be taken to improve the phytoremediation of sites contaminated with heavy metals,such as pH and Eh regulations,and so forth.     

Effect of coagulation pretreatment on the fouling of ultrafiltration membrane

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect and mechanism of preventing membrane fouling, by coagulation pretreatment, in terms of fractional component and molecular weight of natural organic matter （NOM）. A relatively higher molecular weight （MW） of hydrophobic compounds was responsible for a rapid decline in the ultrafiltration flux. Coagulation could effectively remove the hydrophobic organics, resulting in the increase of flux. It was found that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds, which could remove inadequately by coagulation, was responsible for the slow declining flux. The fluxes in the filtration of coagulated water and supernatant water were compared and the results showed that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds remained in the supernatant water after coagulation could be rejected by a membrane, resulting in fouling. It was also found that the coagulated flocs could absorb neutral hydrophilic compounds effectively. Therefore, with the coagulated flocs formed on the membrane surface, the flux decline could be improved.     

Penetration analysis of elements and bioleaching treatment of spent refractory for recycling

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC23270 and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans TM-32 were used for bioleaching of spent refractories of aluminium and copper melting furnaces for their recycling.Firstly,penetration of elements into aluminium melting furnace refractory was investigated and it was found that up to 7 cm from surface was contaminated.Comparison on leaching efficiency by the strains ATCC23270 and TM-32 found that the strain ATCC23270 could treat larger amount of the refractories than the strain TM-32 could do.In the experiment of bioleaching of spent refractory aluminium melting furnace by the strain ATCC23270,high leaching efficiency were obtained on Al,Si,and Ca,and extremely low leaching performance was,however,shown on the rest of elements i.e.,Na,Mn,and Zn.Under the strain TM-32 use,relatively high leaching performance was recognized on Al,Si,Ca,Na,Mn,and Zn.In the experiment of bioleaching for spent refractory copper melting furnace,almost the same leaching trends were shown on Cu,Zn,Al,and Si under the strains ACTT23270 and TM-32 uses.
