吃饱和吃好语境对我国耕地保护的启示

人民日益增长的美好生活需要已然对粮食产出提出更高要求,综合辨析吃饱和吃好理念,运用理论分析、GM模型对耕地保护目标进行数理预判,为面向2035年美丽中国背景下耕地保护与粮食安全战略提供决策依据.结果表明:(1)在理论假设的完全理想状态下,仅解决吃饱需要的耕地数量为1.18亿hm2,实现全面吃好需要的耕地数量为1.43亿hm2,现有的耕地存量还难以满足该需求;兼顾"吃饱+吃好"双重情境下新时期耕地保有量区间为1.25×108～1.38×108hm2.(2)吃饱和吃好作为中国语境下粮食安全的核心问题,是对国民需求、社会发展、耕地资源形成的自组织系统在时空跃迁过程中的整体性把握.(3)从粮食质量需求视角,到2030年我国人口高峰年,耕地需求仍有不足风险.实施最严格的耕地保护制度仍是我国必须坚守的基本国策,确保耕地质量的"纯洁性"将成为耕地保护转型的重要方向.     

Combination with catalyzed Fe(0)-carbon microelectrolysis and activated carbon adsorption for advanced reclaimed water treatment: simultaneous nitrate and biorefractory organics removal

A process combining catalyzed Fe(0)-carbon microelectrolysis (IC-ME) with activated carbon (AC) adsorption was developed for advanced reclaimed water treatment. Simultaneous nitrate reduction and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal were achieved, and the effects of composite catalyst (CC) addition, AC addition, and initial pH were investigated. The reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms were calculated and analyzed. The results showed that CC addition could enhance the reduction rate of nitrate and effectively inhibit the production of ammonia. Moreover, AC addition increased the adsorption capacity of biorefractory organic compounds (BROs) and enhanced the degradation of BRO. The reduction of NO₃^?–N at different pH values was consistently greater than 96.9%, and NH₄⁺–N was suppressed by high pH. The presence of CC ensured the reaction rate of IC-ME at high pH. The reaction kinetics orders and constants were calculated. Catalyzed iron scrap (IS)-AC showed much better nitrate reduction and BRO degradation performances than IS-AC and AC. The IC-ME showed great potential for application to nitrate and BRO reduction in reclaimed water.
