Beyond hypoxia：Occurrence and characteristics of black blooms due to the decomposition of the submerged plant Potamogeton crispus in a shallow lake

Organic matter-induced black blooms(hypoxia and an offensive odor) are a serious ecosystem disasters that have occurred in some large eutrophic shallow lakes in China. In this study, we investigated two separate black blooms that were induced by Potamogeton crispus in Lake Taihu, China. The main physical and chemical characteristics, including color- and odor-related substances, of the black blooms were analyzed. The black blooms were characterized by low dissolved oxygen concentration(close to 0 mg/L), low oxidation-reduction potential, and relatively low pH of overlying water. Notably higher Fe2+and∑S2-were found in the black-bloom waters than in waters not affected by black blooms. The black color of the water may be attributable to the high concentration of these elements, as black FeS was considered to be the main substance causing the black color of blooms in freshwater lakes. Volatile organic sulfur compounds, including dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide, were very abundant in the black-bloom waters. The massive anoxic degradation of dead Potamogeton crispus plants released dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide, which were the main odor-causing compounds in the black blooms. The black blooms also induced an increase in ammonium nitrogen and soluble reactive phosphorus levels in the overlying waters. This extreme phenomenon not only heavily influenced the original lake ecosystem but also greatly changed the cycling of Fe, S, and nutrients in the water column.     

Efectiveness of national air pollution control policies on the air quality in metropolitan areas of China

Understanding the efectiveness of national air pollution controls is important for control policy design to improve the future air quality in China. This study evaluated the efectiveness of major national control policies implemented recently in China through a modeling analysis. The sulfur dioxide(SO2) control policy during the 11th Five Year Plan period(2006–2010) had succeeded in reducing the national SO2emission in 2010 by 14% from its 2005 level, which correspondingly reduced ambient SO2and sulfate(SO4 2) concentrations by 13%–15% and 8%–10% respectively over east China. The nitrogen oxides(NOx) control policy during the 12th Five Year Plan period(2011–2015) targets the reduction of the national NOx emission in 2015 by 10% on the basis of 2010. The simulation results suggest that such a reduction in NOx emission will reduce the ambient nitrogen dioxide(NO2), nitrate(NO3), 1-hr maxima ozone(O3) concentrations and total nitrogen deposition by 8%, 3%–14%, 2% and 2%–4%, respectively over east China. The application of new emission standards for power plants will further reduce the NO2, NO3, 1-hr maxima O3concentrations and total nitrogen deposition by 2%–4%, 1%–6%, 0–2% and 1%–2%, respectively. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the inter-provincial impacts of emission reduction in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta, which indicated the need to implement joint regional air pollution control.

广东肇庆奥陶系砂泥岩沉积环境的地球化学表征

以砂泥岩样品的常量/微量元素地球化学特征分析为主要手段,探讨广东肇庆地区奥陶纪沉积环境,为尚显薄弱的云开古陆北缘下古生界沉积学研究提供佐证。以"相当B含量"、Ga、K、Rb、V、Sc等元素组分及其比值为判别指标,分析研究区奥陶系碎屑岩沉积的古水体性质和古环境变化。结果表明,奥陶纪早-中期(缩尾岭群沉积期)海水明显淡化、富氧;奥陶纪晚期(三尖群沉积期)以半咸水-正常咸水为主,水体还原性增强。结合地层岩相特征,认为研究区在奥陶纪期间整体为云开古陆东北缘的滨-浅海,早期可能存在受淡水影响的海陆过渡环境,例如三角洲或河口湾,晚期由于海平面上升逐渐成为浅海陆棚。研究结果有助于进一步了解云开古陆周缘奥陶纪沉积演化,并为开展更为详细的沉积学研究提供参考。     

激光烧蚀皮革过程中的废气成分研究

皮革在激光烧蚀过程中会产生大量具有恶臭气味的有机废气,严重影响空气质量。为了评估该类型气体危害,分别利用紫外可见分光光度计和气相色谱-质谱联用仪,检测了天然皮革和人造革在激光烧蚀过程中的废气成分。结果显示烧蚀天然皮革所产生的废气中含有NO、NO2、SO2、二氨基丙烷和丙烯酸甲酯,烧蚀人造革所产生的废气中含有NO、NO2、甲硫醇、二硫化碳、乙二醇、二甲基二硫醚、丙二醇、乙二醇二甲醚和硫代乙酸甲酯。其中,甲硫醇、二硫化碳、二甲基二硫醚和乙二醇二甲醚都是产生恶臭的有机成分。研究为该类型废气的治理提供了基础数据和依据。     

2006~2010年珠三角地区SO2特征分析

对广州番禺大气成分站2006~2010年期间的SO2资料进行了分析,讨论了珠江三角洲(珠三角)地区地面SO2体积分数的年、季节、月、日变化特征和概率的分布特征.珠三角地区地面SO2变化特征的分析结果表明,2010年地面SO2体积分数的总体水平相对近年来有一定下降,高浓度事件发生频率降低;冬、春季SO2各项统计值要高于夏、秋季,干季明显高于湿季,可能与大气边界层高度和太阳辐射等因素的季节性变化相关;SO2干湿季的日变化趋势相仿,日最高峰时间相同,只是湿季达次高峰和最低点的时间比干季要提前1 h,这可能与季节性的大气边界层高度和辐射强度变化,以及日照时间长度有关;SO2体积分数的概率分布特征比较复杂,各月谱型分布各有不同,可能与季节性因素的变化规律相关.     

硫铁比对再生水深度脱氮除磷的影响

为了考察硫铁比对反硝化脱氮同步除磷效果的影响,进行了不同硫铁比的反硝化脱氮除磷静态实验,并对复合填料系统反硝化脱氮同步除磷作用进行了分析.结果表明,硫铁复合填料的脱氮除磷效果均显著高于单一填料;硫铁比是影响复合填料反硝化脱氮除磷效果的一个关键因素,当硫铁比(体积比)大于等于1∶1时,TN、TP去除率分别达到了85%和97%以上.复合填料脱氮除磷过程均满足二级动力学方程,系统脱氮作用主要依赖于异养反硝化和硫自养反硝化过程,而除磷主要由于海绵铁腐蚀产生的化学除磷作用.
