岸线码头密度对河道水动力和污染物输移影响分析——以武汉河段为例

为研究岸线码头密度对河流水动力变化及污染物输移的影响,以武汉河段为例,基于Mike21模型建立了适用于该河段的平面二维水动力-水质模型,计算了长为9.6 km的岸线范围内布置不同密度码头群后引起的附近区域内水位、流速变化以及突发水污染事故后的自净能力变化,从空间差异性、最大变幅等角度对比了三者的差异,并归纳了码头密度与水动力条件、污染物浓度变幅之间的关系.结果 表明:(1)随着码头密度增加,工程区上游水位变化较流速更敏感,工程区及下游局部位置水位变幅较小,而流速变化较为敏感,表现为前沿主流区流速增大,近岸区流速减小;当码头密度大于1.25～2.5座/km的临界范围后,水动力条件随码头密度的变幅逐渐减缓.(2)修建码头后,受水动力变化影响,工程区河段上游污染物浓度变化呈"峰前减、峰后增",但工程区下游呈"峰前增、峰后减"的特征;工程区间内表现为主流区浓度增大、近岸带浓度减小、高浓度滞留时间总体增加的变化特点.(3)受码头工程群影响,无论是区间整体上,还是局部范围内,污染物浓度相对水动力条件变幅更大,对河段内水源地的取水可能造成不利影响.以上认识对于河流岸线开发利用规模选取和效应评估具有参考意义.

Effects of climate and land-cover change on the conservation status of gibbons

Species shift their distribution in response to climate and land-cover change, which may result in a spatial mismatch between currently protected areas (PAs) and priority conservation areas (PCAs). We examined the effects of climate and land-cover change on potential range of gibbons and sought to identify PCAs that would conserve them effectively. We collected global gibbon occurrence points and modeled (ecological niche model) their current and potential 2050s ranges under climate-change and different land-cover-change scenarios. We examined change in range and PA coverage between the current and future ranges of each gibbon species. We applied spatial conservation prioritization to identify the top 30% PCAs for each species. We then determined how much of the PCAs are conserved in each country within the global range of gibbons. On average, 31% (SD 22) of each species’ current range was covered in PAs. PA coverage of the current range of 9 species was <30%. Nine species lost on average 46% (SD 29) of their potential range due to climate change. Under climate-change with an optimistic land-cover-change scenario (B1), 12 species lost 39% (SD 28) of their range. In a pessimistic land-cover-change scenario (A2), 15 species lost 36% (SD 28) of their range. Five species lost significantly more range under the A2 scenario than the B1 scenario (p = 0.01, SD 0.01), suggesting that gibbons will benefit from effective management of land cover. PA coverage of future range was <30% for 11 species. On average, 32% (SD 25) of PCAs were covered by PAs. Indonesia contained more species and PCAs and thus has the greatest responsibility for gibbon conservation. Indonesia, India, and Myanmar need to expand their PAs to fulfill their responsibility to gibbon conservation. Our results provide a baseline for global gibbon conservation, particularly for countries lacking gibbon research capacity.     

Zinc recovery from hazardous construction wastes via an integrated process of the air classification,alkaline leaching,and water washing

Zinc- and lead-containing wastes are often mixed with construction and demolition wastes in many factories, generating abundant of heavy metal-enriched hazardous waste. In the present study, a novel integrated process of air classification, alkaline leaching, and water washing dechlorination was proposed for the efficient recycling of Zinc (Zn) resources. The first air classification process was realized via venturi tube, wherein the content of Zn could increase by 20 wt.%. After that, the product underwent an alkaline leaching process. Results showed that Zn recovery rate increased with fine particle sizes, and a 65% recovery rate was obtained under the following conditions of 5 mol/L NaOH, liquid/solid 10:1, and leaching time 1 h. Finally, water washing associated with microwave and ultrasonic treatments could remove over 85% of Cl and other water-soluble salts. All the results indicated that the integrated method had an excellent recovery rate for Zn resources from construction and demolition wastes.
