北京雾霾现象与机动车尾气排放关系分析

北京雾霾天气的成因存在争议。政府公布的结论是,20-30％的污染是来源于汽车尾气排放,但这是与事实相冲突的。本文主要讨论机动车尾气排放在雾霾成因中的实际比例,及可能解决的方案。     

晚期渗滤液脱氮过程中的抑制现象及其消除

对于垃圾填埋过程中高氨氮浓度、低C/N的晚期渗滤液,反硝化碳源不足会造成A/O脱氮系统的亚硝酸积累,导致对氨氧化和亚硝酸氧化过程的抑制作用.A,²/O流程中的厌氧处理对难降解有机物的水解酸化作用可为后续反硝化提供易降解有机碳源,可消除亚硝酸盐的积累及其对硝化过程的抑制.试验表明,厌氧处理可使氨氧化速率和反硝化速率提高约1倍和1.3倍,分别达0.123mgN/(mgMLSSd)和0.0675mgN/(mgMLSSd),TN去除率由8%提高到15%.使浓度高达1000mg/L的氨氮,在0.138mgN/(mgMLSSd)的进水负荷下较为彻底地氧化为安全的硝酸盐.     

国际对华投资热衷环保领域的喜与忧

近期,国际对华投资空前一致地转向了环保领域。这一现象把资金与环保捆绑在一起,冲击了人们的视线。 在国际对华投资大幅增长无望的情况下,众多资金输出国却对中国的环保市场投注了极大热情。这些资金的注入将有助于中国环保事业的发展,从长远来看,还将有助于全球环境的改善。但是很显然,国际对华环保投资也是跨国环保集团占领中国市场的一种策略。就这一点,引起了分析人士的担忧。     

大气腐蚀起始过程中的微液滴现象研究

微液滴现象是一种新发现的实验现象,当易被腐蚀的金属表面上预先形成有腐蚀性主液滴时,在合适的条件下,主液滴的周围有更小的微液滴出现并不断扩展.微液滴的形成和扩展遵循一定的规律,并与大气腐蚀起始过程密切相关.电化学极化结果显示,大气腐蚀过程中的腐蚀电流是微液滴形成和发展的推动力.     

Plant invasion phenomenon enhances reproduction performance in an endangered spider

Current models in evolutionary ecology predict life history alterations in response to habitat suitability to optimize fitness. Only few empirical studies have demonstrated how life history traits that are expected to trade off against each other differ among environments. In Europe, many salt marshes have been recently invaded by the grass Elymus athericus. Previous studies however showed higher densities of the endangered spider Arctosa fulvolineata (Araneae: Lycosidae) in invaded salt marshes compared to natural habitats, which suggests a lower habitat suitability in the latter. The aim of this study was to determine if this emerging habitat (1) affects the amount of resource acquisition and (2) alters the balance between life history traits that are expected to trade off against each other in this stenotopic salt marsh species. As suggested by theoretical studies, an optimization of fitness by increasing egg size at the cost of decreasing fecundity in unsuitable (i.e., natural) habitats was expected. Females presenting cocoon were then collected in close invaded and natural salt marsh areas within the Mont Saint-Michel Bay (France). By considering female mass as covariate, cocoon mass, number of eggs, and egg volume were compared between both habitats. Clutch mass was strongly determined by female mass in both habitats. Clutch mass was however significantly smaller in the natural habitat compared to the invaded habitat, indicating a higher resource acquisition in the latter. When correcting for female size, fecundity was additionally increased in the invaded habitat through a significant decrease in egg size. This phenotypic response can be explained by differences in habitat structure between invaded and natural habitats: the former offers a more complex litter favoring nocturnal wanderers like A. fulvolineata. The existence of such an adaptive reproduction strategy depending on habitat suitability constitutes an original case of an invasion that favors an endangered species.

Multi-dimension apportionment of clean air “parade blue”phenomenon in Beijing

The mass concentration and major chemical components of fine particulate matter were measured before, during and after Beijing''s massive parade commemorating 70th anniversary of the Chinese Victory in World War II on September 3, 2015. Regional emission inventory, positive matrix factorization (PMF), observations from space and backward air mass trajectories were jointly applied to identify the major pollution sources and their temporal and spatial variations. The contributions of emissions, their variations and the meteorological conditions related to the “parade blue” phenomenon in Beijing and its surrounding areas were investigated in detail. The main cause of the decreased PM_2.5 mass concentration was attributed to the absolute reduction in emissions of primary air pollutants. The chemical composition of PM_2.5 varied significantly before, during and after the parade. Fugitive dust particles were well controlled, the secondary formation of PM_2.5 was reduced along with the controlled gaseous precursors'' emissions from vehicles and industrial sources during the temporary intensified control period. During the parade period, the SO₂ and NO₂ column concentrations in Beijing and the surrounding areas decreased sharply, indicating that the coordinated reduction in primary emissions from the surrounding areas of Beijing played an important role in lowering the ambient concentration of SO₂ and NO₂ and accordingly lowered PM_2.5 and improved the regional air quality. A comparison of the temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction during the same periods in 2014 and 2015 showed that the meteorological conditions positively influenced the achievement of “parade blue”.
