The backend design of an environmental monitoring system upon real-time prediction of groundwater level fluctuation under the hillslope

The groundwater level represents a critical factor to evaluate hillside landslides. A monitoring system upon the real-time prediction platform with online analytical functions is important to forecast the groundwater level due to instantaneously monitored data when the heavy precipitation raises the groundwater level under the hillslope and causes instability. This study is to design the backend of an environmental monitoring system with efficient algorithms for machine learning and knowledge bank for the groundwater level fluctuation prediction. A Web-based platform upon the model-view controller-based architecture is established with technology of Web services and engineering data warehouse to support online analytical process and feedback risk assessment parameters for real-time prediction. The proposed system incorporates models of hydrological computation, machine learning, Web services, and online prediction to satisfy varieties of risk assessment requirements and approaches of hazard prevention. The rainfall data monitored from the potential landslide area at Lu-Shan, Nantou and Li-Shan, Taichung, in Taiwan, are applied to examine the system design.     

Filterability of oil sands tailings

In Canadian oil sands mining operations, bitumen is extracted from oil sands using the hot water extraction process, which produces tremendous amounts of tailings. Currently, these tailings are disposed of in large ponds, in which coarse particles settle out relatively quickly and fine particles remain suspended in water and settle very slowly. After years of settling, the fine particles form a stable suspension in water known as mature fine tailings (MFTs). Long-term storage of the MFT is costly and poses a major environmental liability.Oil sands companies are now actively investigating different approaches to replace or reduce the use of oil sands tailings ponds. Filtration of the tailings to produce “dry tailings” for stacking is now being investigated as an alternative by a number of companies. Fast water drainage is a critical step for the filtration process. In this paper, we use simple laboratory-scale filtration tests to evaluate the filterability of the oil sands tailings and to generate a parameter that can be used in filtration scale-up. It was found that the filterability of the original coarse oil sands tailings was relatively low. However, after the fines are flocculated with the coarse particles to form uniform flocs the filterability was improved by several orders of magnitude. The results demonstrate that filtration of the flocculated coarse tailings to produce the “dry” stackable tailings may be viable.     

The distribution and enrichment characteristics of copper in soil and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phragmites australis</Emphasis> of Liao River estuary wetland

The aims of the present investigation were to reveal the distribution and enrichment characteristics of copper in soil and Phragmites australis of Liao River estuary wetland. The concentrations of copper in root, stem, leaf, and ear of Phragmites australis as well as in soil were determined to study the absorption capacity of copper by wild Phragmites australis of Liao River estuary wetland. The study was carried out at test pool of the Shenyang Agricultural University, and the experimental materials (soil, irrigating water and Phragmites australis) were derived from Liao River estuary wetland. The concentrations of copper in soil and Phragmites australis were 16.4441 to 49.0209 mg/kg and 0.8621 to 89.5524 mg/kg, respectively. The results indicated that the enrichment coefficients of copper in different tissues of Phragmites australis changed with the growth of Phragmites australis. The results revealed that the enrichment coefficients of copper in the whole Phragmites australis were greater than 1 at each growing stage of the Phragmites australis. The results also showed that the transfer coefficients of Phragmites australis to copper changed with the growth of Phragmites australis. The results revealed that the Phragmites australis had a good removal effect on copper from soil and had some characteristics of copper hyperaccumulator.

水网城市径流污染对河流水质影响的模拟研究

国外对城市降雨径流污染进行了研究,国内也有文献报道。夏青提出了模拟径流污染对受纳水体影响的点源、非点源污染分别计算然后线性叠加的近似方法。但是,对城市整体径流污染对河流影响的系统模拟还处于探索阶段,并有许多未真正解决的问题。因此,必须确定因分散排放经不同长度河段到总排放口的污染物衰减量,即径流排放的污染物浓度取值等问题。我们对这些问题的解决和实现作一初步的偿试。     

多循环CCRs法在分离燃煤锅炉尾部烟气中CO2方面的应用

随着温室效应和全球变暖的加剧,煤燃烧所排出的CO2作为引起温室效应的主要气体而引起人们的密切关注.由于燃煤锅炉所排放的尾气中所含的CO2的体积份额低、排放量大,而且处于微负压状态,因此目前控制和分离吸收CO2的方法,包括各类吸收法、吸附法、膜分离法和O2/CO2燃烧技术等,能够经济可行地适用于电力工业燃煤锅炉尾部烟气中CO2分离的方法非常少.与上述各类方法相比,钙基吸收剂CCRs(calcination/carbonation reactions)法是一种新兴的经济可行的分离燃煤锅炉尾部烟气中CO2的方法.对采用该法时,吸收剂的选择、吸收剂在多次CCRs过程中结构特点的变化、提高吸收剂对CO2的吸收容量以及防止吸收剂反应性的衰减等方面进行了详细的阐述.

杭州黑碳气溶胶污染特性及来源研究

2011年7月~2012年6月对黑碳气溶胶(BC)、PM2.5、污染气体及气象因子进行同步观测,以评估杭州市BC污染特征、来源分布及对大气能见度的影响.结果表明:杭州市大气BC日均浓度范围为1.3~16.5μg/m3,年均值达到(5.1±2.5)μg/m3.BC呈明显的季节变化趋势,秋冬季高,夏季低.BC也呈典型的日变化趋势,交通高峰期高,下午低,同时与NOx呈较好的相关性,表明城市中BC受到机动车尾气排放的重要影响;而BC/CO低于其他城市则表明生物质燃烧排放可能是杭州BC的另一大重要来源.BC随风速下降呈上升趋势, BC超过10μg/m3的高浓度事件中,风速基本低于2m/s,北-西北-西风对高浓度BC的输送作用明显.观测期间BC的吸收系数为(44.8±23.0)Mm-1,占到总消光比例的10.4%.灰霾和重度灰霾天气下,吸收系数分别为(66.2±30.1),(100.2±49.2)Mm-1,达到非霾天气的2.2和3.4倍, 表明BC吸收消光作用是影响杭州市大气能见度下降和灰霾天气发生的重要因素之一.
