Concentrations,spatial distribution,and pollution assessment of heavy metals in surficial sediments from upstream of Yellow River,China

Surface sediments were collected from 122 sites in the upstream of the Yellow River, China. The concentration of Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, Pb, and Cd in sediments was investigated to explore the spatial distribution based on statistics and interpolation method. The results suggested that the concentrations of heavy metals were lower than potential effect levels (PEL). The samples above threshold effect level (TEL) for Pb and Zn were less than 10%, while almost 50% of samples for Ni exceeded PEL. Pb and Zn in sediments performed little or no adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystems. Higher concentrations of all heavy metals occurred in Qinghai and Gansu sections; the concentrations of Cu, Ni, and Zn were significantly higher than the Inner Mongolia section. Lower concentration of Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, and Zn appeared in Qinghai section; the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cr, and Pb manifested relatively steady and similar distributions and approximately decreasing tendency along the upstream of Yellow River.

气相防锈技术在电器设备防腐中的应用

目的研究新型气相防锈剂对电器设备的防护效果及电性能的影响,解决电器设备服役过程中的腐蚀防护问题。方法采用中性盐雾试验对新型气相防锈剂对电器设备的防护效果进行测试,并通过绝缘电阻、介电常数、电容、表面电阻、体积电阻、电阻、耐击穿电压等测试了新型气相防锈剂对电器元件、电器设备电性能的影响。结果中性盐雾试验240 h后,无新型气相防锈剂保护的电器设备锈蚀严重,有新型气相防锈剂保护的电器设备锈蚀相对微弱;电路板原材料环氧树脂板、安规电器元件、电器设备与气防锈发散体直接接触720 h后,各自的电性能基本上没有变化,同时电器设备的正常功能也不受影响。结论新型气相防锈剂对电器设备有较好的防护效果,且不影响其电性能,可将其应用到电器设备实际运行过程中,解决电器设备服役过程中的腐蚀防护问题。
