Influence of different inoculation densities of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) on heavy metal immobilization in swine manure

The disposal of organic waste by the biocomposting of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has drawn broad attention. However, the discrepancies in heavy metal immobilization between BSFL biocomposting with different inoculation densities and aerobic composting need to be further researched. In this study, BSFL with inoculation densities of 0.08%, 0.24% and 0.40% was added to swine manure to investigate its influence on heavy metal bioaccumulation and bioavailability. The physicochemical properties, BSFL growth performance and amino acid contents were measured. The results showed that the germination index, total prepupal yield and bioavailable fraction removal rate (%) of Cr and Pb at an inoculation density of 0.40% of BSFL were the highest among all of the BSFL biocomposting groups. Although the bioaccumulation factor and heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) concentrations of the BSFL body from swine manure with inoculation densities of 0.24% and 0.40% of BSFL were similar, the BSFL inoculation density of 0.40% had the best absorption effect on these heavy metals in terms of total prepupal yield. Therefore, this study provides a basis for exploring the optimal inoculation density of BSFL biocomposting to reduce the harmful effects of heavy metals in swine manure.

     

Could environmental regulations improve the quality of export products? Evidence from China’s implementation of pollutant discharge fee

This study investigates the effect of Chinese environmental regulations on the quality of export products. As the main way for the government to protect the environment, environmental regulations have greatly influenced the production behavior of enterprises. Based on the data of China’s pollutant discharge fee implementation and industrial enterprise-pollution panel data, we find that the government’s environmental regulations have significantly improved the quality of export products, and this conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests. Further analysis shows that the increase in the quality of export products originating from the regulated areas could be attributed to promoting enterprise innovation and reducing resource misallocation. The results in this study provide evidence that the Chinese government could coordinate economic and environmental protection in the new era.

以常州市主城区为例,根据地理位置、气象环境以及人口经济等统计情况,采用AHP法对常州市洪涝灾害风险进行指标分层,将致灾因子、孕育环境、承灾体、防灾减灾能力作为一级指标,下辖历史灾情等12个二级指标以及26个三级指标,并采用模糊数学法对评价集合进行归一标准化处理,得出常州市洪涝灾害现处于低风险状态。同时,对风险主因进行了分析,为常州市洪涝灾害风险管控、灾害救援提供参考。     

典型木材燃料层流扩散火焰碳黑生成特性研究

为了对木材燃料层流扩散火焰碳黑生成特性进行研究,搭建了基于消光法原理的轴对称层流火焰碳黑浓度测量平台, 选用马尾松针、柚木以及红橡木三种典型木材燃料粉碎成针状试样,并堆成直径3.5 cm堆垛,利用酒精引燃后可获得稳定的层流扩散火焰,同时通过电热丝辅助加热延长稳定燃烧。通过对三种典型木材燃料层流燃烧过程的质量损失和火焰碳黑浓度的测量和对比分析,结果显示三种燃料中马尾松针碳黑生成能力最大,这说明木材的碳黑生成能力可能与其碳元素和氧元素的含量有关。

为提高高速公路冰雪环境下隧道入口行车安全水平,探究隧道入口冰雪环境下驾驶员心生理反应特性,依据心生理理论,通过模拟驾驶试验采集驾驶员在冬季晴、雪天气下隧道入口行驶的心率增长率、速度等数据,分析照度变化率、路面摩擦系数、速度对驾驶员心生理的影响规律,明确不同影响因素下隧道入口驾驶员心率增长率变化特征,利用Matlab构建多因素耦合下隧道入口驾驶员心生理反应模型,并设计实车试验验证心生理反应模型有效性。研究结果表明:冰雪环境下隧道入口驾驶员心率增长率紧张阈值为28%,隧道入口冰雪环境下照度变化率安全阈值为51%,心生理反应模型误差小于10%,吻合程度较好。研究结果对提高山区高速公路隧道入口冰雪环境的行车安全性、降低隧道入口事故风险具有重要意义。     

太原市汾河河岸带土壤重金属分布特征、评价与来源解析

为了解太原城区段汾河河岸带土壤中重金属污染现状,分析了太原城区段汾河西岸河岸带表层土壤6种重金属元素(Cd、Cr、Pb、Cu、Zn和Hg)的含量状况及其分布特征,利用单因子污染指数法、地累积指数法和潜在生态风险指数法对重金属的污染程度及其生态风险进行评价,并用相关性分析、主成分分析和聚类分析进行源解析.结果表明,太原城区段汾河西岸河岸带土壤中Cr和Cu的均值低于山西省土壤背景值,Cd、Pb、Zn和Hg的均值超过背景值,Cd和Hg的点位超标率大于90%.沿河流方向,6种重金属含量降低,高值在二期北延段C断面.污染评价结果表明,Hg具有强生态危害,Cd具有中等强度生态危害,其它4种重金属是轻微生态危害,各样点综合潜在生态风险为中等.相关性分析、主成分分析和聚类分析结果表明,Zn、Pb和Cd具有同源性,主要受交通运输、农业生产活动和矿业活动等人为源的影响;Hg和Cu来源相似,污染源为工业生产,并且Cu在一定程度上受交通运输和农业活动的影响;Cr的污染源是成土母质和工业生产.     

崇明东滩大型底栖动物食源的稳定同位素示踪

利用稳定同位素示踪技术,对崇明东滩盐沼湿地夏季不同生境大型底栖动物的食物来源和营养结构进行了初步研究。结果显示,表层沉积有机质稳定碳、氮同位素组成分别在-21.3‰~-24.2‰、4.6‰~5.6‰,不同生境下存在一定差异。植物体各组织的同位素值存在差异,在判别食物来源时需要注意,不能简单地以植物叶片值来代替整个植株。大型底栖动物的δ¹³C值为-14.7‰~-23.6‰,表现出食物来源的差异。总体上说,湿地优势植物的活植物体不是大型底栖动物的主要食物来源,沉积有机质是大部分底栖消费者的食物基础。底栖动物的氮同位素能较好地反映其食性和营养级,计算出崇明东滩大型底栖动物营养级在2.0~3.7,为一级消费者和二级消费者。
