Adsorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution by carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals

A novel nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions is reported.Cotton was first hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals(CNCs).CNCs were then chemically modified with succinic anhydride to obtain SCNCs.The sodic nanoadsorbent(NaSCNCs) was further prepared by treatment of SCNCs with saturated NaHCO 3 aqueous solution.Batch experiments were carried out with SCNCs and NaSCNCs for the removal of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+.The effects of contact time,pH,initial adsorption concentration,coexisting ions and the regeneration performance were investigated.Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption equilibrium time of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ was reached within 150 min on SCNCs and 5 min on NaSCNCs.The adsorption capacities of Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ on SCNCs and NaSCNCs increased with increasing pH.The adsorption isotherm was well fitted by the Langmuir model.The maximum adsorption capacities of SCNCs and NaSCNCs for Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ were 367.6 mg/g,259.7 mg/g and 465.1 mg/g,344.8 mg/g,respectively.SCNCs and NaSCNCs showed high selectivity and interference resistance from coexisting ions for the adsorption of Pb 2+.NaSCNCs could be efficiently regenerated with a mild saturated NaCl solution with no loss of capacity after two recycles.The adsorption mechanisms of SCNCs and NaSCNCs were discussed.     

气候变化背景下京津冀地区濒危水鸟潜在适宜区模拟及保护空缺分析

明确濒危水鸟栖息地分布并加以保护对于维持水鸟物种多样性和提高湿地环境质量具有重要意义.自1980年以来京津冀地区水鸟数量出现较大波动,为了分析濒危水鸟潜在分布区域及其变化特征,借助GIS平台和MaxEnt模型,基于2015年濒危水鸟"出现点"信息,定量识别了影响京津冀地区濒危水鸟分布的主要驱动因素和贡献率,并预测了2050年RCP2.6、RCP4.5、RCP8.5（依次代表低、中、高3种CO₂浓度排放模式）3种气候情景下濒危水鸟的潜在适宜区分布和保护空缺规律.结果表明:①京津冀地区濒危水鸟共有9种,东方白鹳、遗鸥和黑鹳3种濒危水鸟潜在适宜区面积较大.东方白鹳和遗鸥适宜区主要集中于环渤海湾沿岸和北京市中南部,黑鹳则主要集中于北京市南部房山区和东北部.②与2015年相比,2050年RCP2.6、RCP4.5和RCP8.5三种气候情景下濒危水鸟适宜区面积均较大,相应适宜区面积增幅依次为96.24%、103.94%和65.51%,适宜区空间分布上向西南和东北方向扩张.③国家自然保护区对濒危水鸟潜在适宜区和热点区的覆盖率较低,相较天津市,河北省和北京市对这两个区域的覆盖不足.④在京津冀地区尺度下,不同情景下保护区覆盖濒危水鸟适宜区比例依次为基准情景（1.26%）> RCP8.5情景（1.11%）> RCP2.6情景（0.70%）> RCP4.5情景（0.29%）,保护区覆盖热点区比例依次为RCP4.5情景（0.83%）>基准情景（0.77%）> RCP8.5情景（0.08%）> RCP2.6情景（0）.研究显示,以单个水鸟为单位分析濒危水鸟潜在适宜区分布格局,能够精准有效地揭示国家自然保护区对濒危水鸟的覆盖情况.      

Metal contamination in sediments of the western Bohai Bay and adjacent estuaries, China

Twelve sediment cores were collected in July 2007 in open waters of western Bohai Bay, the Port of Tianjin, and the adjacent estuaries of the Haihe and Yongding Rivers. While overall concentrations of trace metals at incremental depths in these cores met the Marine Sediment Quality (GB18668-2002) criteria of China, the magnitude of both metal enrichment factors (EF) and geoaccumulation indices (I(geo)) suggested that pollution with Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn was occurring in the estuaries and Port. Risk analysis also suggested that Ag and Ni concentrations were sufficiently elevated as to cause adverse biological effects in the study area. Although metal concentrations in western Bohai Bay were of less concern, a positive relationship between EF values and excess (210)Pb activity for several metals suggested that their concentrations were increasing over time.

压力脉冲波法复杂天然气管道堵塞检测实验研究*

为了解决复杂天然气管道堵塞定位难题,快速定位出堵塞位置,提出利用压力脉冲波法检测复杂管道堵塞。改造搭建长18.1 m、包含17个三通结构的压力波堵塞检测实验台,进行不同堵塞率以及气液混输管道的堵塞定位实验。结果表明:管道三通会引起频率范围为150~200 Hz的高频反射波,利用FFT谐波变换方法可以有效地对原始信号进行滤波分析,更利于对堵塞定位分析。在堵塞率100%时,定位误差为1.07%;在堵塞率50%时,定位误差最大,达到1.93%;对于含液率8%的气液混输管道,100%堵塞时,定位误差为0.48%。研究结果有效地证实了压力脉冲法检测复杂输运管道堵塞的可行性,可为该方法的现场应用提供指导和数据支撑。

南通市任港河底泥重金属污染的磁学诊断

以江苏省南通市任港河底泥柱样为研究对象,在系统的环境磁学、粒度、重金属及总有机碳含量分析的基础上,探讨了沉积物重金属污染的环境磁学诊断的可行性.结果表明,表层12cm以上样品中重金属Pb、Zn、Cu、Ni含量超出江苏省土壤背景值,剔除粒度影响后,重金属含量"上高下低"的特征仍很明显.该底泥柱样沉积物的磁性特征为亚铁磁性矿物所主导,亚铁磁性矿物含量在表层12cm以上沉积物要高于下部沉积物,其含量在沉积物上部的升高受到污染的影响.磁化率(χ)、饱和等温剩磁(SIRM)和非磁滞剩磁磁化率(χARM)与Pb、Zn、Cu、Ni含量有显著的正相关关系(r≥0.74,p<0.01,n=54),可用于定性评价任港河底泥的重金属污染程度.但因受到磁性矿物的来源和成岩作用等因素影响,表层沉积物亚铁磁性矿物与重金属含量升高不尽一致,利用磁性参数定量诊断重金属含量仍需慎重.

Capturing LiDAR‐Derived Hydrologic Spatial Parameters to Evaluate Playa Wetlands

The digital elevation model data from traditional stereo photogrammetric methods are inadequate in providing accurate vertical parameters to feed hydrologic models for low‐lying, extremely flat areas. High‐resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data provide the robust capability of capturing small variations in low‐relief playa wetlands. The Rainwater Basin in south‐central Nebraska includes a complex of seasonally shallow playa wetlands that attract millions of migratory waterfowl every spring and fall. This research focuses on the development of a procedure with applicable protocols to produce LiDAR‐derived three‐dimensional wetland maps and to extract the critical surface parameters (i.e., watershed boundaries, flow direction, flow accumulation, and drainage lines) for playa wetlands. The topo‐hydrologic conditions of playa wetlands were evaluated at the watershed level. The results show that in the Rainwater Basin, 70.7% of the historic hydric soil footprints identified in the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database were not functioning as topographically depressional wetlands. This finding was confirmed by a recent five‐year Annual Habit Survey showing that 69.8% of the historic hydric soil footprints did not function during the spring migratory bird seasons between 2004 and 2009. The majority of playa wetlands' topographic conditions have been substantially changed and the SSURGO data cannot fully reflect current topographic reality in the Rainwater Basin.
