Basic properties of sintering dust from iron and steel plant and potassium recovery

With the production of crude steel, China produces several million tons of sintering dusts which contain a great deal of valuable metals such as, K, Na, Zn, Pb. If discharged directly without adequate treatment, these elements can lead to adverse effects on the environment. Therefore, it is very necessary to determine how to separate these elements from the dust before discharge. Several physical and chemical detection methods were used to study the basic properties of sintering dust. At the same time, preliminary experiments on the recovery of the potassium resources from the sintering dust were carried out. The mean particle size of the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) dust determined by a laser granulometer was 41.468 μm. Multi-point BET and single-point BET analysis showed that the surface area of the ESP dust was 2.697 m²/g. XRD measurements detected the following phases in the ESP dust: Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, KCl and NaCl, and Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄ and SiO₂ in the water-washed dust. SEM-EDS results proved that in the ESP dust, K mostly existed in the form of KCl particles without being coated. Leaching experiments showed that the KCl in the ESP dust could be separated and recovered by water leaching and fractional crystallization. Through the recovery experiments, the yield of K-Na vaporized crystalline salt was 18.56%, in which the mass fractions of KCl, NaCl, CaSO₄ and K₂SO₄ were about 61.03%, 13.58%, 14.03% and 9.97%, respectively. This process is technically viable and considerable in economic benefit. There was almost no secondary pollution produced in the whole recovery process.

为了解西藏拉萨市林周县热振国家森林公园不同海拔大型土壤动物群落的空间分布特征及其与环境因子的关系,于2021年7月(夏季)根据其地理特征设置了三个不同海拔共9个样地.采用手捡法对大型土壤动物进行收集,并将其保存在75%酒精的收集管中,同时测定相应的环境因子.共捕获大型土壤动物1427个,经形态学鉴定隶属于2门5纲15目21科,其中优势类群为姬马陆科(Julidae)和蚁科(Formicidae),占总捕获量的66.0%.常见类群共10类,占总捕获量的31.3%;稀有类群占总捕获量的2.7%.热振国家森林公园大型土壤动物的类群、Shannon多样性指数、均匀度指数和优势度指数在三个不同海拔之间无显著性差异(P>0.05).大型土壤动物群落Jaccard相似性系数位于0.15~0.77.Pearson相关性结果显示,大型土壤动物个体数与海拔呈极显著负相关(P<0.01),与土壤温度和pH呈显著正相关(P<0.05);冗余分析显示,排序轴1和轴2共同解释了的类群组成变化的55.0%,全磷(TP)和有效磷(AP)为显著性解释变量,对大型土壤动物群落的解释率分别为29.6%和18.5%,是影响大型土壤动物群落的主要环境因子.     

基于MiSeq测序分析酸性农作物土壤细菌群落结构与多样性

为分析酸性农田土壤中微生物群落结构,探寻酸化土壤的综合治理途径,以湖北恩施土家族苗族自治州利川市酸性农作物土壤为研究对象,应用Illumina MiSeq高通量测序技术,测定酸性土壤中总细菌和经驯化的可培养细菌的16S rRNA基因V3~V4变异区序列,确定不同农作物土壤中总细菌和可培养细菌的群落结构,并探讨土壤理化因子对土壤总细菌群落结构的影响.结果表明:白菜地、烟草地、山药地、草莓地、玉米地及莴苣地这6种农作物土壤中总细菌和可培养细菌在97%的相似水平下得到的OTUs（operational taxonomic units,操作分类单元）数量分别为4 008和97个.在门水平上,土壤总细菌中有12个门类的细菌相对丰度大于1%,Proteobacteria、Acidobacteria和Chloroflexi为优势菌门细菌;可培养细菌中仅有3个门类细菌相对丰度高于1%,即Firmicutes、Proteobacteria和Bacteroidetes.在OTU水平上,土壤总细菌沿pH梯度将6种土壤样品分为2类,即pH < 5.5的玉米地、山药地和莴苣地和pH>5.5的烟草地、白菜地和草莓地.此外,冗余分析（RDA）结果显示,Acidobacteria的相对丰度与pH呈正相关,Firmicutes和Roteobacter的相对丰度均与w（TN）、w（TP）、w（TC）呈正相关.系统进化树分析表明,相对丰度位于前30位的细菌与亚洲地区发现细菌的16S rRNA基因序列同源性较高.研究显示,Illumina MiSeq测序能够较为全面地解析酸性土壤中总细菌和可培养细菌的多样性,驯化过程极大地减少了细菌的种类;同时,发现细菌群落结构的相似性可能因样本来源的地理距离的增加而衰减.      

陈化处理对棉花秸秆生物炭理化性质的影响

为探讨陈化处理对秸秆生物炭理化性质的影响,采用冻融和干湿方法分别对不同热解温度(350、500和650℃)下制备的棉花秸秆生物炭进行陈化处理,对比分析新鲜和陈化生物炭的理化性质.结果表明,热解温度、环境温度、湿度和陈化时间是影响生物炭理化性质的主要因素.陈化处理可以加速生物炭表面发生氧化反应,增加生物炭表面的酸性官能团,进而降低生物炭的pH值.生物炭经过陈化处理后,其C含量减少,O含量增加,这也归因于生物炭的氧化反应.陈化处理可以增加生物炭的比表面积和微孔体积,且新鲜和陈化生物炭的孔隙结构主要以介孔为主.陈化处理还可以破坏生物炭表面较完整的形状,降低生物炭的稳定性.     

滨海滩涂围垦区不同围垦年限土壤酶活性变化及其与理化性质关系

土壤酶几乎参与所有的土壤生物化学过程,厘清土壤酶活性与土壤理化性质的关系能够揭示围垦后土壤质量变化状况,为土壤生态系统的科学调控提供理论依据.选择江苏中部如东不同围垦年限(7、32、40、63 a)的滩涂围垦区为研究对象,以未围垦光滩作为对照(0 a),利用经典统计学分析和冗余分析研究不同围垦年限土壤酶活性变化过程,及其与土壤理化性质之间的关系.经典统计学分析表明不同围垦年限间土壤酶活性具有显著性差异,淀粉酶、脱氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性随着围垦年限的增长呈现出先上升后下降的过程,而脲酶和碱性磷酸酶活性则随着围垦年限的增长呈现出先上升-下降-再上升的过程.同时,不同围垦年限的表层土壤酶活性基本上高于深层.冗余分析表明5种理化性质在前两轴累积能够解释土壤酶活性的69.8%,pH、电导率、土壤有机碳、全氮和全磷与土壤酶活性呈极显著相关关系(P0.01).土壤理化性质对土壤酶活性影响重要性大小排序为全氮有机碳pH全磷电导率.     

不同粒径铁铝泥对砷(Ⅲ)的吸附效果

以给水处理厂废弃铁铝泥(ferric and alum water treatment residuals,FARs)为载体,考察了不同粒径FARs对砷(Ⅲ)的吸附效果.不同粒径FARs的有效铁铝含量、比表面积和孔体积分别为523.72～1 861.72 mmol.kg-1、28.15～265.59 m2.g-1和0.03～0.09 cm3.g-1,总有机质、富里酸、胡敏酸和胡敏素分别为46.97～91.58、0.02～32.27、22.27～34.09和10.76～34.22 mg.kg-1.SEM和XRD检测表明,不同粒径FARs均以无定形结构存在.批量实验结果表明,准一级和准二级动力学方程均能较好地反映FARs吸附砷(Ⅲ)的动力学过程.不同粒径FARs对砷(Ⅲ)的吸附量随着浓度的增加而增高,用Langmuir等温线方程拟合获得理论饱和吸附量在6.72～21.79 mg.g-1之间.pH值对FARs吸附砷(Ⅲ)的作用影响不大.砷(Ⅲ)吸附量大小与不同粒径FARs的理化性质的变化趋势基本一致,由相关性分析可得,有效铁铝含量和孔体积大小是影响FARs对砷(Ⅲ)吸附的主要因素.     

Secondary sexual characters and female quality in primates

Honest advertisement models of sexual selection propose that exaggerated secondary sexual ornaments are condition-dependent, and that only individuals with superior disease resistance will be able to express costly ornamentation. Studies of secondary sexual ornamentation and their maintenance by sexual selection tend to focus on males. However, females may also possess showy ornaments. We investigated whether female ornaments, in the form of sexual swellings, reliably signal female fitness in a semifree-ranging colony of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) at the Centre International de Recherches Médicales, Franceville (CIRMF), Gabon. We measured swelling height and width using photographs of periovulatory females over three mating seasons and compared swelling size with parasitism (using fecal analysis over one annual cycle), immune status (ratio of lymphocytes to neutrophils in blood smears made during captures), and genetic diversity (microsatellite heterozygosity). Swelling size varied by up to 10% between cycles in individual females, giving some support to the hypothesis that size differences may indicate the quality of individual swelling cycles. However, there was no significant difference in swelling size between conceptive and nonconceptive cycles. Measures of swelling size varied more between females than within females across swelling cycles, implying that swelling size was a relatively consistent characteristic of individual females. Swelling size was not significantly related to either general measures of parasitism and immune status, or to the closest available measures to each swelling cycle. Nor was swelling size significantly related to genetic diversity. The healthy, provisioned nature of the colony and problems associated with observational, correlational studies restrict interpretation of our data. However, in combination with previous findings that females of higher reproductive success do not show larger swellings, and that males do not allocate mating effort as a function of swelling size, these results imply that sexual swelling size does not indicate female quality in these semifree-ranging mandrills.
