Biostability in distribution systems in one city in southern China：Characteristics, modeling and control strategy

This study investigated the bacterial regrowth in drinking water distribution systems receiving finished water from an advanced drinking water treatment plant in one city in southem China. Thirteen nodes in two water supply zones with different aged pipelines were selected to monitor water temperature, dissolved oxygen （DO）, chloramine residual, assimilable organic carbon （AOC）, and heterotrophic plate counts （HPC）. Regression and principal component analyses indicated that HPC had a strong correlation with chloramine residual. Based on Chick-Watson＇s Law and the Monod equation, biostability curves under different conditions were developed to achieve the goal of HPC 100 CFU/mL. The biostability curves could interpret the scenario under various AOC concentrations and predict the required chloramine residual concentration under the condition of high AOC level. The simulation was also carded out to predict the scenario with a stricter HPC goal （≤50 CFU/mL） and determine the required chloramine residual. The biological regrowth control strategy was assessed using biostability curve analysis. The results indicated that maintaining high chloramine residual concentration was the most practical way to achieve the goal of HPC ≤ 100 CFU/mL. Biostability curves could be a very useful tool for biostability control in distribution systems. This work could provide some new insights towards biostability control in real distribution systems.     

基于物元分析的表层岩溶带“二元”水生态承载力评价

针对目前水生态承载力评价中信息屏蔽和主观性问题,该文以喀斯特典型分布区贵州省为例,在阐述表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力概念的基础上,构建表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力评价指标体系,结合物元分析法,对贵州省2007—2010年的表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力进行定量评价.研究结果表明:2007—2010年贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力等级都为"可承载",整体呈现出比较稳定的发展趋势,但是"可承载"水平并不稳定,不完全符合No2的标准."可承载"水平不稳定.贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力的主要提升因子是地表产流率、输沙模数、森林覆盖率、水资源利用率等8个,而单位面积地表水资源量、生态用水率、工业废水排放达标率、工业固体废物综合利用率以及城镇化率等9个成为制约贵州省表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力等级提升的因子.贵州省的表层岩溶带"二元"水生态承载力不仅关系到自身的社会、经济和生态安全也关系到下游的长江流域和珠江流域的水资源安全、生态安全以及环境建设.因此,应制定区域生态补偿措施,经济发达地区反哺经济落后地区,形成联动的共同保护生态环境脆弱区的水生态承载力的机制.为促进贵州省的水土资源开发利用和生态环境建设提供理论借鉴,并为类似地区的水生态承载力评价提供了一种新方法.

城市河道水质评价与研究

结合内梅罗指数法的原理,考虑金属毒性的积累效应,引入污染因子权重值,将权重值最大的评价指标纳入计算,采用改进的内梅罗指数法评价城市河道的水质污染状况。并对水质的划分标准临界值进行计算,以此作为评价水质污染状况的依据。研究结果表明,两种方法具有明显的差异,改进的内梅罗指数法对水质污染状况的评价结果较传统内梅罗指数法的辨识度更高,能够综合客观全面地体现城市河道水质状况,与真实情况较好的吻合,更为客观、合理。     

制备条件对低温NH_3-SCR脱硝催化剂Mn-Ce/TiO_2结构与性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂,以NH3为还原剂,通过程序升温反应考察其选择性催化还原NO的催化性能.同时,着重探讨了焙烧温度、焙烧时间、活性物质负载量及Mn、Ce负载比例对催化剂结构和性能的影响,并用BET、XRD等对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,活性组分负载量由0增至20%时,NO转化率随着负载量的增加而提高,当(Mn+Ce)质量分数为20%,催化剂活性最高,此后随着活性组分负载量的增加,NO转化率明显下降;Mn与Ce的负载比例为0.85∶0.15时,催化剂比表面积最大,为112.31m2·g-1;焙烧温度500℃时催化剂晶相均为TiO2锐钛矿型结构,焙烧温度升高至600℃,催化剂晶相为TiO2锐钛矿型和金红石型混合结构,且催化剂比表面积急剧减小;焙烧时间对催化剂晶相结构影响不大,焙烧时间为5h时,Mn-Ce/TiO2的脱硝性能最好.     

基于环境保护的机动车税优化建议

当前区域性大气污染问题突出,机动车使用造成的污染问题不可忽视。为解决区域性的大气污染问题,机动车税费的污染减排调控功能日益被政府和学者重视。研究围绕"如何使机动车税更好发挥环境保护的效果"的问题,比较了中日机动车税的结构和性质,分析了在购买、保有和使用等不同环节的机动车税的特点以及环保效果,并基于问卷调查分析中国私家车主不同环节机动车税的负担情况。研究表明,在机动车使用环节征收的成品油消费税污染调控效果要优于其他环节的税收;对商业用途的机动车使用征税仅有收入功能没有调控功能,建议将机动车相关税的作用重心从购买环节转移到使用环节上,并对商业用途和私人用途的机动车实施差别税率。     

Controlling cyanobacterial blooms by managing nutrient ratio and limitation in a large hypereutrophic lake: Lake Taihu, China

Excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading of aquatic ecosystems is a leading cause of eutrophication and harmful algal blooms worldwide, and reducing nutrient levels in water has been a primary management objective. To provide a rational protection strategy and predict future trends of eutrophication in eutrophic lakes, we need to understand the relationships between nutrient ratios and nutrient limitations. We conducted a set of outdoor bioassays at the shore of Lake Taihu. It showed that N only additions induced phytoplankton growth but adding only P did not. Combined N plus P additions promoted higher phytoplankton biomass than N only additions, which suggested that both N and P were deficient for maximum phytoplankton growth in this lake (TN:TP = 18.9). When nutrients are present at less than 7.75-13.95 mg/L TN and 0.41-0.74 mg/L TP, the deficiency of either N or P or both limits the growth of phytoplankton. N limitation then takes place when the TN:TP ratio is less than 21.5-24.7 (TDN:TDP was 34.2-44.3), and P limitation occurs above this. Therefore, according to this ratio, controlling N when N limitation exists and controlling P when P deficiency is present will prevent algal blooms effectively in the short term. But for the long term, a persistent dual nutrient (N and P) management strategy is necessary.     

Microcystis aeruginosa/Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes interaction effects on off-flavors in algae/bacteria co-culture system under different temperatures

We conducted an experiment to study the interaction effects of Microcystis aeruginosa and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes on off-flavors in an algae/bacteria co-culture system at three temperatures (24, 28 and 32°C). Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was applied to measure off-flavor compounds dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), 2-methylisoborneol, geosmin (GEO) and β-cyclocitral. During the lag phase of co-cultured M. aeruginosa (first 15 days), P. pseudoalcaligenes significantly increased the production of DMS, DMTS and β-cyclocitral at all three temperatures. In the exponential phase of co-cultured M. aeruginosa (after 15 days), M. aeruginosa became the main factor on off-flavors in the co-culture system, and β-cyclocitral turned to the highest off-flavor compound. These results also indicated that DMS, DMTS and β-cyclocitral were the main off-flavor compounds in our M. aeruginosa/P. pseudoalcaligenes co-culture system. Univariate analysis was applied to investigate the effects of M. aeruginosa and P. pseudoalcaligenes on the production of off-flavors. The results demonstrated that both M. aeruginosa and P. pseudoalcaligenes could increase the production of DMS and DMTS, while β-cyclocitral was mainly determined by M. aeruginosa. Our results also provide some insights into understanding the relationship between cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria.
