Historical trends of heavy metal contamination and their sources in lacustrine sediment from Xijiu Lake, Taihu Lake Catchment, China

Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn and Hg in Xijiu Lake sediment from the Taihu Lake catchment, China, were analyzed. Their contamination state was investigated based on the geoaccumulation index and enrichment factors. Statistical analysis was used to differentiate the anthropogenic versus natural sources of heavy metals (HMs), and the anthropogenic accumulation fluxes were calculated to quantify anthropogenic contribution to HMs. The results indicated that the lake sediment had been heavily contaminated by Cd, enrichment of Zn and Hg was at a relatively high level, while that of Cu and Pb was in the lower-to-moderate level and Cr was in the low enrichment level. Sources of Cr in the sediment were mainly from natural inputs, while other metals, especially Cd, were predominantly derived from anthropogenic sources. In the past century, anthropogenic accumulation fluxes of Pb, Zn and Hg increased by 0.1-47.3 mg/(cm².yr), 2.4-398.1 mg/(cm².yr), and 3.7-110.3 ng/(m².yr), respectively, accounting for most inputs of HMs entering the sediment. The contamination state of HMs varied with industrial development of the catchment, which demonstrated that contamination started in the early 20th century, reached the maximal level between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s, and decreased a little after the implementation of constraints on high contamination industries, although the contamination of some HMs, such as Cd, Zn and Hg, is still at high levels.     

Preparation and microwave absorbing properties of the core-nanoshell composite absorbers with the magnetic fly-ash hollow cenosphere as core

Electromagnetic (EM) wave pollution has become the chief physical pollution for environment. The core-nanoshell composite absorbers with magnetic fly-ash hollow cenosphere as core and nanocrystalline magnetic material as shell were prepared by high-energy ball milling. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vector network analyzer (VNA) analysis indicated that perfect-crystalline nanomagnetic material coating was gotten with a particle size of 12 nm, being dried at 60°C for 2 hr and calcined at 400°C for 1 hr after ball milling. The exchange-coupling interaction happened between ferrite of cenosphere and soft magnet γ-Fe₂03 coating, it enhances magnetic loss of composite absorbers. In the frequency between 1 MHz and 1 GHz, the absorbing effectiveness of the core-nanoshell composite absorbers can achieve ?30 dB, it is better than single material and is consistent with requirements of the microwave absorbing material at the low-frequency absorption.

模拟水体硝态氮对黄菖蒲生长及其氮吸收的影响

为了对挺水植物在水环境与水生态修复中的应用提供参考依据,选取黄菖蒲(Iris pseudacorus L.)为对象,通过模拟水培实验,对比研究了6种水体硝态氮质量浓度(10.68、23.88、42.22、63.33、82.92、97.13 mg·L~(-1))下,黄菖蒲地上和地下生物量、根冠比、叶绿素含量、氮累计吸收量以及对硝态氮去除效果的差异,以期明确模拟水体硝态氮质量浓度对黄菖蒲生长及其氮吸收能力的影响.结果显示,首先,不同硝态氮质量浓度对黄菖蒲地上部分(茎叶)生长的影响大于地下部分(根);当硝态氮质量浓度为10.68 mg·L~(-1)时,黄菖蒲的根冠比增加;当硝态氮质量浓度为42.22~97.13 mg·L~(-1)时,黄菖蒲的根冠比减少.其次,黄菖蒲适宜生长的硝态氮质量浓度为23.88~63.33 mg·L~(-1);硝态氮质量浓度低于10.68 mg·L-1或高于82.92mg·L-1时,均会对黄菖蒲的叶绿素合成产生抑制作用.再次,黄菖蒲对氮的累积量随硝态氮质量浓度增加而增加,且地下部分对氮的累积能力优于地上部分;6种浓度下,单株黄菖蒲的氮累计吸收量为10.56~75.43 mg,其地下部分依次为地上部分的7.2、2.3、2.5、2.1、1.6以及1.5倍.此外,黄菖蒲对氮的利用效率与硝态氮质量浓度之间成显著的幂函数关系,且地上部分的氮利用效率高于地下部分.最后,黄菖蒲对硝态氮的去除率随硝态氮质量浓度增加而增加,6种浓度下黄菖蒲对硝态氮的去除率介于94.9%和99.3%之间,且水体中硝态氮质量浓度随时间延续呈指数函数降低.结果表明,黄菖蒲对硝态氮有很好的去除效果,但黄菖蒲的生长及其对氮的吸收与去除效率受水体硝态氮质量浓度影响显著,且地上部分较地下部分更为敏感.
