浅谈小型水电站建设工程中的安全管理

由于小水电站建设工程相对于大中型水电工程规模小、地处偏远山区、信息滞后以及对小型水电站建设工程安全问题认识不足等原因,有的安全措施得不到很好落实,不安全事件或事故时有发生。加强小水电站建设工程安全管理,认真落实国家有关安全法规、条例和规章制度,防止不安全事件的发生,在保证安全的前提下,又快又好又省地完成水电站建设工程项目,尤为重要。     

Persistent organic pollutants in food items collected in Hong Kong

This study aims to investigate levels of POPs in meat, edible oils, nuts, milk and wine collected from Hong Kong. Naphthalene, pp-DDE, beta-, gamma-HCH and PBDE 47 were detected in most of the food items. Goose liver accumulated the highest PAHs (47.9 ng g⁻¹ wet wt), DDTs (25.6), HCHs (13.0), PCBs (4.17), PBDEs (468 pg g⁻¹ wet wt) among all the selected food. Meat and nut groups had significant (p < 0.01 or 0.05) correlations between lipid contents and concentrations of PAHs (meat: r = 0.878), HCHs (meat: r = 0.753), DDTs (meat: r = 0.937; nuts: r = 0.968) and PCBs (meat: r = 0.832; nut: r = 0.946). The concentrations of DDTs, HCHs and PCBs in vegetable oil were lower, but HCHs in fish oil were higher, when compared with other countries. The concentrations of PAHs, DDTs, PCBs and PBDEs in food tested in the present study were all below various safety guidelines.     

Microbial degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its influence on phenanthrene-DOM interactions

Microbial degradation-induced changes in the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM), and the subsequent effects on phenanthrene-DOM interactions were investigated based on the microbial incubation of DOM collected from four different sources for 28 d. Partially biodegraded DOM presented higher specific UV absorbance (SUVA), lower protein-like fluorescence, higher humic-like fluorescence, lower aliphatic carbon fraction, and higher hydrophobic neutral fractions compared to the original DOM. Microbial changes in DOM led to an increase in the isotherm nonlinearity as well as the extent of phenanthrene binding. A negative relationship between SUVA and the Freundlich n values was established for the original and the biodegraded DOM, suggesting that aromatic condensed structures may play important roles in providing nonlinear strong binding sites irrespective of microbial degradation. In contrast, there were two separate slopes of the correlations between the percentage of hydrophobic acid (HoA) fraction and the n values for the original and the biodegraded DOM with a higher slope exhibited for the latter, implying that the microbial utilization of oxygen-containing structures in the HoA fractions may contribute to enhancing the associated isotherm nonlinearity.     

长江流域年平均气温的时空变化特征

利用长江流域146个气象站点1960~2005年的逐年气温资料，选用EOF和REOF方法识别长江流域年平均气温空间变化特征，并对长江流域年平均气温变化敏感区域进行时间演变分析和突变检测。研究表明:长江流域年平均气温主要有2种空间振荡型（即全流域气温变化趋向一致型和流域内气温变化存在东西向差异型），3个变化敏感区域（长江流域中下游地区、长江流域南部和金沙江流域）。3个变化敏感区域的年平均气温都在20世纪90年代明显升高，且均在90年代后期呈突变增加，其中金沙江流域升温趋势最为明显，气候倾向率为0.20℃/10a。全流域1991~2005年年平均气温距平空间分布表明，自1991年以来全流域都为升温趋势，其中长江流域中下游地区和金沙江流域是升温幅度最大的地区。     

换个视角谈地震观测改进与研究

自建国以来，中国的地震工作从无到有，地震队伍在不断壮大，经历了一个漫长发展的历程。而2008年5月12日下午2时28分发生在汶川的8．0级特大地震，造成了重大的伤亡和经济损失，引起地震工作者们的认真反思：多年来的地震工作布局有什么不足之处，哪些需要改进？很多问题值得思考，本文仅就以下三方面做一个讨论。     

Biological response of high-back crucian carp (Carassius auratus) during different life stages to wastewater treatment plant effluent

This study presents the adverse effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WwTPs) on fish health. A study of chronic exposure to WwTPs effluent for 10 months was undertaken in high-back crucian carp (Carassius auratus) during different life stages, covering early-life-stage (ELS), prespawning period, and postspawning period. Condition factor (CF), gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), and plasma vitellogenin (VTG) levels were employed as indicators to assess biological effects of effluent on this gynogenesis species. Meanwhile, some high-back crucian carp were caged in Demonstration Base of Biological Purification for Filter-feeding Fish (hereinafter, Demonstration Base), as WwTPs effluent exposure controls. In the meantime, a depuration study was carried out to determine whether or not the estrogenic effects caused by effluent exposure could be reduced after moving fish into EDCs-free water. CF, HSI, GSI, and plasma Vtg levels of high-back crucian carp caged in Demonstration Base were generally in accordance with seasonal change. Effluent exposure inhibited gonadal growth, reducing GSI in ELS while increasing it around spawning, sharpened liver burdens, increasing HSI, and induced abnormal Vtg expression in juvenile high-back crucian carp, augmenting Vtg concentrations in plasma. Around spawning period, Vtg in high-back crucian carp were mainly induced by endogenous estrogens, and EDCs in effluent had less influence on them. Staying in EDCs-free water for 30 days made high-back crucian carp recover from effects of previous effluent exposure, relieving inhibition of gonadal development and hypertrophy of liver as well as reducing Vtg induced by EDCs in effluent. The results revealed that high-back crucian carp in ELS are more sensitive to WwTPs effluent exposure. Additionally, the depuration study showed a clearance of the estrogenic effects caused by effluent.     

Potential utilization of riverbed sediments by hydrothermal solidification and its hardening mechanism

Hydrothermal solidification of riverbed sediments (silt) has been carried out in a Teflon (PTFE) lined stainless steel hydrothermal apparatus, under saturated steam pressure at 343–473 K for 2–24 h by calcium hydrate introduction. Tobermorite was shown to be the most important strength-producing constituent of the solidified silt. A longer curing time or a higher curing temperature was shown to be favorable to the tobermorite formation, thus promoting strength development; however, overlong curing time (24 h) seemed to affect the strength development negatively. The hardening mechanism consisted of the crystal growth/morphology evolution during the hydrothermal process. The species dissolved from the silt were precipitated first as fine particles, and then some of the particles seemed to build up the rudimental morphology of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel. The CSH gel, with precipitated particles, appeared to cause some reorganization within the matrix, which made the matrix denser and thus gave an initial strength development. Tobermorite, transformed inevitably from the CSH gel, reinforced the matrix with its interlocked structure, and thus further promoted the strength development.     

改性油页岩灰渣对水中DNBP吸附去除效果

采用PDMDAAC改性方法对油页岩灰渣进行改性，确定最佳改性方案，并研究了环境因素对改性油页岩灰渣吸附DNBP的影响。实验研究结果表明，油页岩灰渣经20 g/L 的PDMDAAC处理时，对DNBP的吸附能力最强。在吸附温度为30℃，初始溶液pH值为4的条件下，0.3 g 的改性油页岩灰渣对30.0 mg/L DNBP溶液50 mL，吸附120 min时，其吸附率达到94.48%以上。在实验条件下，改性油页岩灰渣对DNBP的吸附符合Langmuir和Freundlich等温吸附方程，相关系数分别为0.9985和0.9776，其对DNBP的理论饱和吸附量达到6.196 mg/g。改性油页岩灰渣对DNBP的吸附主要归因于离子交换和表面吸附作用。     

压裂废水粘度对二氧化锰臭氧催化氧化处理特性的影响

通过FT-IR和GC-MS检测分析,表明了压裂废水中有机物主要以苯环结构为主的芳香类化合物和其他杂环化合物,苯环及杂环上的主要官能团包括酮、酯、羧酸、醛、酚、氨基等。同时,压裂废水中的粘度为常规水粘度的2~3倍。针对压裂废水高粘度和高COD污染水质特征,实验研究了压裂废水二氧化锰臭氧催化氧化处理特性以及粘度对处理效果的影响,研究结果表明,在粘度较高(2.2×10^-3Pa·s)压裂废水中,投加的化学药剂很难扩散,羟基自由基·OH的利用效率较低,处理效果较差。通过投加过硫酸钾(5 g/L)降粘后,可在很大程度上提高二氧化锰臭氧催化氧化的处理效果。通过对压裂废水中有机物分子量分布、FT-IR分析以及GC-MS分析可知,二氧化锰臭氧催化氧化处理压裂废水是通过激发羟基自由基,破坏水中有机物极性和有机物化学构造,将复杂长链有机物转变为简单有机物,其出水COD可达到国家污水综合排放标准中的二级排放标准。
