Mitigating Impact of Devils Lake Flooding on the Sheyenne River Sulfate Concentration

Devils Lake is a terminal lake located in northeast North Dakota. Because of its glacial origin and accumulated salts from evaporation, the lake has a high concentration of sulfate compared to the surrounding water bodies. From 1993 to 2011, Devils Lake water levels rose by ~10 m, which flooded surrounding communities and increased the chance of an overspill to the Sheyenne River. To control the flooding, the State of North Dakota constructed two outlets to pump the lake water to the river. However, the pumped water has raised concerns about of water quality degradation and potential flooding risk of the Sheyenne River. To investigate these perceived impacts, a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was developed for the Sheyenne River and it was linked to a coupled SWAT and CE‐QUAL‐W2 model that was developed for Devils Lake in a previous study. While the current outlet schedule has attempted to maintain the total river discharge within the confines of a two‐year flood (36 m³/s), our simulation from 2012 to 2018 revealed that the diversion increased the Sheyenne River sulfate concentration from an average of 125 to >750 mg/L. Furthermore, a conceptual optimization model was developed with a goal of better preserving the water quality of the Sheyenne River while effectively mitigating the flooding of Devils Lake. The optimal solution provides a “win–win” outlet management that maintains the efficiency of the outlets while reducing the Sheyenne River sulfate concentration to ≤600 mg/L.

以钛涂钌电极为阳极、自制蒽醌修饰石墨毡电极为阴极,对头孢合成废水(COD=25 000~30 000 mg/L、ρ(NH3-N)=850~1 300 mg/L、色度为2 300~2 680度)进行了电化学氧化预处理,优化了电解条件,并对电化学体系的动力学和稳定性进行了分析。实验结果表明:蒽醌的存在可改善电化学氧化降解效果;在电解时间50 min、电流密度0.14 A/cm2、Na2SO4浓度0.1 mol/L、极板间距2 cm、初始废水p H 7.0的条件下,废水的COD、色度、NH3-N的去除率分别可达45.3%,66.9%,33.6%;BOD5/COD由处理前的0.27增至0.40,可生化性得到改善;COD、色度、NH3-N的电化学氧化降解过程均近似符合一级动力学方程;且该电化学体系的应用稳定性良好。     

Risk-evaluation of Hi-tech Enterprise in the Process of Approaching Global Market

In the high technology industry, small and medium sized technology enterprises (SMSTEs) play a pivotal role in advancing the whole industry. To achieve sustainable development, they need to extend their scope of business activities beyond a national view and exploit international market actively to meet international competitions that increase quickly in the form of allocating resources within the scope of the world. However, the SMSTEs are also facing risks associated with themselves during the process of exploiting international market owing to their own restrictions, so what they should do is to consider risk evaluations in exploiting the international market.

稻壳与聚氯乙烯共热解的特性及动力学

在热重分析仪中进行了稻壳和聚氯乙烯（PVC）的共热解实验,结果显示:在共热解时稻壳开始剧烈热解的温度相比单独热解时大幅度降低,由350℃降至300℃,表明掺入PVC降低了稻壳的热解温度。在升温速率为20℃/min,稻壳和PVC比例为2∶1（质量比）时,混合热解协同效应最明显。3种动力学分析方法均证明共热解现象的存在。利用Coats-Redfern法进行动力学分析,发现共热解活化能普遍较单独热解时低,表明PVC与稻壳共热解有明显的相互作用。利用Ozawa法进行分析,发现转化率为20%~60%阶段下共热解平均活化能值为37.60 kJ/mol,低于稻壳单独热解的平均活化能41.45 kJ/mol。Friedman法分析结果显示对应转化率下共热解活化能均低于稻壳单独热解活化能。稻壳和PVC共热解倾向于反应动力学控制。     

不同裂解温度稻壳生物炭对阿特拉津的吸附行为及机制

为探究不同裂解温度下稻壳生物炭的结构和性质差异及其对阿特拉津（AT）的吸附作用机制和构-效关系,以稻壳为原料在300、500和700℃下制备稻壳生物炭（分别记为RH300、RH500、RH700）,通过电镜扫描、元素分析仪、比表面积分析仪和傅里叶变换红外光谱分析仪等对3种稻壳生物炭进行结构表征分析,并采用批量等温吸附法研究稻壳生物炭对AT的吸附特性.结果表明:裂解温度由300℃升至700℃时,稻壳生物炭中w（C）由48.81%升至64.67%,w（H）、w（N）和w（O）则由3.22%、1.45%和34.66%分别降至0.89%、0.92%和16.29%,原子比H/C、O/C和（O+N）/C值均降低.可见,随着裂解温度升高,稻壳生物炭的芳香性增强,亲水性和极性降低,且比表面积和孔体积增大,平均孔径减小.3种稻壳生物炭对AT的吸附均可用Freundlich和Langmuir两种等温吸附模型进行较好地拟合（R≥0.948,P < 0.01）,吸附作用及非线性程度与生物炭的比表面积（SSA）、芳香性（H/C）、亲水性（O/C）和极性〔（O+N）/C〕呈良好的指数关系,大小表现为RH700 > RH500 > RH300.稻壳生物炭对AT的吸附机制主要包括分配作用和表面吸附,分配作用强度与生物炭的极性和炭化程度有关;而表面吸附作用与AT的分子大小有关,3种稻壳生物炭对AT的表面吸附除表面覆盖外,还存在多层平铺、毛细管现象和孔隙填充等.研究显示,裂解温度是影响生物炭吸附有机污染物的重要因素,在综合考虑成本和制备工艺的同时,适当提高裂解温度可增强生物炭对有机污染物的吸附作用.
