氧化亚铁硫杆菌对黄铜矿的生物氧化研究

针对矿区硫化矿氧化产生的酸性矿山废水(AMD)对生态环境造成严重影响的问题,以矿区常见的黄铜矿(CuFeS2)为研究对象,采用已筛选的氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,简称A.f菌)为实验菌株,探讨在A.f菌作用下黄铜矿的氧化过程。实验结果表明,A.f菌可显著促进黄铜矿的氧化,第18天有菌体系中的铜离子浓度是无菌体系中的5倍;同时细菌可促进溶液中Fe2+氧化为Fe3+,使氧化还原电位升高,从而对黄铜矿保持较高的氧化速率,并导致体系的pH值降低;还发现黄铜矿的氧化过程中可形成中间产物方黄铜矿(CuFe2S3),而细菌氧化还可产生硫磷化钴(CoPS),中间产物的形成并没有明显延缓黄铜矿的氧化速率;生物氧化可造成矿样表面侵蚀多坑,可能是细菌对黄铜矿的直接氧化作用造成的。由于黄铜矿的生物氧化明显控制其氧化进程,抑制黄铜矿的生物氧化对酸性矿山废水的源头治理具有十分重要的意义。

农田排水沟渠水体-底泥中溶质氮分布特征试验研究

沟渠系统"过程拦截"是现阶段农业非点源污染控制和管理的重要手段.针对当前农田排水沟渠水体-底泥-植物系统内各介质间非点源溶质迁移转化机制不清的现状,本研究以天然沟渠为对象,以非点源溶质氮为例,通过2014年3月~2015年2月现场监测试验,分析了农田排水沟渠水体及底泥中非点源溶质氮的分布特征.结果表明,沿沟渠纵向,试验沟渠水体中总氮质量浓度、底泥中总氮含量均呈现一定程度递减趋势,表现出沟渠系统对非点源溶质的净化作用;水体中总氮质量浓度、底泥中总氮含量在沟渠横断面分布存在较大不均匀性,其分布特征与断面形态、流量变化过程、流速分布等因素有关,其中水体中总氮质量浓度均衡度为76.89%,底泥中总氮含量均衡度为57.04%;试验期内,水体中总氮质量浓度呈"凹"形变化、底泥中总氮含量呈"凸"形变化,二者表现出相逆的变化趋势.     

Evaluation of Existing and Modified Wetland Equations in the SWAT Model

The ability to accurately simulate flow and nutrient removal in treatment wetlands within an agricultural, watershed‐scale model is needed to develop effective plans for meeting nutrient reduction goals associated with protection of drinking water supplies and reduction of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone. The objectives of this study were to incorporate new equations for wetland hydrology and nutrient removal in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), compare model performance using original and improved equations, and evaluate the ramifications of errors in watershed and tile drain simulation on prediction of NO₃‐N dynamics in wetlands. The modified equations produced Nash‐Sutcliffe Efficiency values of 0.88 to 0.99 for daily NO₃‐N load predictions, and percent bias values generally less than 6%. However, statistical improvement over the original equations was marginal and both old and new equations provided accurate simulations. The new equations reduce the model's dependence on detailed monitoring data and hydrologic calibration. Additionally, the modified equations increase SWAT's versatility by incorporating a weir equation and an irreducible nutrient concentration and temperature coefficient. Model improvements enhance the utility of SWAT for simulating flow and nutrients in wetlands and other impoundments, although performance is limited by the accuracy of inflow and NO₃‐N predictions from the contributing watershed. Editor's note : This paper is part of the featured series on SWAT Applications for Emerging Hydrologic and Water Quality Challenges.

Acid sulfate soils and human health—A Millennium Ecosystem Assessment

Acid sulfate soils have been described as the “nastiest soils on earth” because of their strong acidity, increased mobility of potentially toxic elements and limited bioavailability of nutrients. They only cover a small area of the world's total problem soils, but often have significant adverse effects on agriculture, aquaculture and the environment on a local scale. Their location often coincides with high population density areas along the coasts of many developing countries. As a result, their negative impacts on ecosystems can have serious implications to those least equipped for coping with the low crop yields and reduced water quality that can result from acid sulfate soil disturbance. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment called on by the United Nations in 2000 emphasised the importance of ecosystems for human health and well-being. These include the service they provide as sources of food and water, through the control of pollution and disease, as well as for the cultural services ecosystems provide. While the problems related to agriculture, aquaculture and the environment have been the focus of many acid sulfate soil management efforts, the connection to human health has largely been ignored. This paper presents the potential health issues of acid sulfate soils, in relation to the ecosystem services identified in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. It is recognised that significant implications on food security and livelihood can result, as well as on community cohesiveness and the spread of vector-borne disease. However, the connection between these outcomes and acid sulfate soils is often not obvious and it is therefore argued that the impact of such soils on human well-being needs to be recognised in order to raise awareness among the public and decision makers, to in turn facilitate proper management and avoid potential human ill-health.

Field Evaluation of DRAINMOD 5.1 Under a Cold Climate: Simulation of Daily Midspan Water Table Depths and Drain Outflows1

Abstract: The hydrologic performance of DRAINMOD 5.1 was assessed for the southern Quebec region considering freezing/thawing conditions. A tile drained agricultural field in the Pike River watershed was instrumented to measure tile drainage volumes. The model was calibrated using water table depth and subsurface flow data over a two‐year period, while another two‐year dataset served to validate the model. DRAINMOD 5.1 accurately simulated the timing and magnitude of subsurface drainage events. The model also simulated the pattern of water table fluctuations with a good degree of accuracy. The R² between the observed and simulated daily WTD for calibration was >0.78, and that for validation was 0.93. The corresponding coefficients of efficiency (E) were >0.74 and 0.31. The R² and E values for calibration/validation of subsurface flow were 0.73/0.48 and 0.72/0.40, respectively. DRAINMOD simulated monthly subsurface flow quite accurately (E > 0.82 and R² > 0.84). The model precisely simulated daily/monthly drain flow over the entire year, including the winter months. Thus DRAINMOD 5.1 performed well in simulating the hydrology of a cold region.

ECONOMIC POLICIES FOR REGULATING AGRICULTURAL DRAINAGE WATER1

ABSTRACT: Agricultural drainage water is a major source of environmental pollution in many areas. This paper reviews the literature on the economics of nonpoint-source pollution and applies it to the regulation of agricultural drainage water. Four types of regulatory policies are considered. The empirical analysis is carried out for cotton production in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Variable inputs are the quantity of water applied and the type of irrigation system. All four policies can achieve economic efficiency under the conditions assumed here, but the policies differ in terms of the distributional impacts and administrative requirements.
