汽车废气中的铅对城市土壤污染状况调查

通过现场调查，定量分析了乌鲁木齐市市区交通主干道二侧土壤中铅、镉等6种元素的含量，初步掌握了重金属元素的分布情况。调查结果表明，在交通密集易形成堵车的路段，土壤中重金属富集的量较高，在交通顺畅或车流量少的路段，土壤中重金属含量相对较低。铅污染的主要来源是汽车尾气。     

Influence of lead on growth and nutrient accumulation in canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is commonly used as a hyper-accumulator for phytoextraction of heavy metals from soil and water. Like many other heavy metals, lead (Pb) contaminates soil, water and air and thus it is a great problem. This study was conducted to investigate toxic effects of Pb on growth and nutrient uptake in four canola cultivars. Each of four cultivars of canola (Con-II, Con-III, Legend and Shiralee) was subjected to four levels of Pb (0, 30, 60 and 90 mg Pb kg(-1) of soil) from lead chloride [PbCl2]. Due to Pb toxicity, plant growth was adversely affected and relatively a severe reduction in root biomass (45.7%) was recorded. The Pb accumulation increased both in shoot and root, the highest being in root. The uptake of different nutrients, i.e., N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and Mn was reduced (38.4, 32.8, 33.1, 49.6, 7.78, 52.0, 42.6 and 45.9%, respectively) in the shoots and that of N, Fe, Zn, and Cu in the roots (48.5, 33.2, 24.3 and 44.8%, respectively) of all canola cultivars. The root K, P, Zn and Mn and shoot P, Mg and Fe contents were less affected, the concentration of Pb, Ca and Mg in roots of all cultivars. Among canola cultivars Con-II and Con-III performed better than Legend and Shiralee in terms of growth (26.03%) and nutrient accumulation. Overall, plant growth and nutrient accumulation in the canola cultivars was hampered due to the presence of Pb.     

阿尔金山保护区地表水部分重金属背景值调查与分析

根据实地考察,采集了阿尔金山保护区主要地表水体的水质样本。受考察期限和水质样本保存要求与期限限制,只对样本中铜、锌、镉等重金属指标进行了检测,分析了各指标与《地表水环境质量标准》中不同标准限值的关系,及其在地理空间上的分布规律。本次考察分析的结果可作为后期水质考察的背景信息,是进一步开展保护区水环境调查和研究的基础。

从湿冶钒渣中回收V2O5的试验研究

通过对钒渣经碱浸和酸浸后V2O5回收率的比较，确定了应用H2SO4－氟化物浸出工艺可使渣中钒大部分转变为可溶性盐。分别采用H2SO4－NH4HF2及H2SO4－CaF2浸出工艺从湿冶钒渣中提取V2O5，前者较为满意，V2O5浸出率在65％以上，且氟化物可循环利用。
