Visible-light-driven photocatalytic inactivation of bacteriophage f2 by Cu-TiO2 nanofibers in the presence of humic acid

Pathogenic viruses in drinking water are great threats to public health. Visible-light-driven photocatalysis is a promising technology for virus inactivation. However, the existing photocatalytic antiviral research studies have mostly been carried out in single-component systems, neglecting the effect of natural organic matter, which exists widely in actual water bodies. In this paper, electrospun Cu-TiO₂ nanofibers were prepared as photocatalysts, and their photocatalytic antiviral performance in the presence of humic acid (HA) was comprehensively studied for the first time. The properties of the reaction mixture were measured during the reaction. In addition, the safety, reliability and stability of photocatalytic disinfection in the mixed system were evaluated. The results showed that the virus removal efficiency decreased with the increase of the HA concentration. The type of reaction solution, such as PBS buffer solution or water, did not affect the removal efficiency noticeably. Under acidic conditions, the electrostatic forces between photocatalysts and viruses were strengthened, leading to higher virus removal efficiency. As the reaction time went on, the pH value in the solution increased first and then tended to be stable, the conductivity remained stable, and the dissolved oxygen increased first and then decreased. The safety test showed that the concentration of Cu ions released into the solution was lower than specified by the international standards. No photoreactivation was observed, and the addition of HA significantly reduced the reutilization efficiency of the photocatalysts.     

灌木与乔木联合作用对街谷污染物分布影响

汽车尾气所形成的空气污染问题已成为亟待解决的世界性难题,而城市绿色植被影响不可忽略。为探究高大乔木与低矮灌木的联合作用对街谷污染物分布的影响,文章利用ENVI-met三维模型对5种不同植被布局在180°和225°2种风向下对街谷污染物的分布进行数值模拟。结果表明:(1)植被的存在会降低街谷内风速,街谷涡流作用下使背风侧污染物浓度增加,明显高于迎风侧,加剧了街谷污染程度。(2)乔木与灌木的配置方式对于街谷污染物分布影响较大。乔木与灌木等距连续、等距不连续2种排列方式通过不同机理缓解了街谷污染程度;而乔木与灌木等距不连续的排列方式对污染物的限制作用和输送作用均有限,导致污染物浓度增加,加剧了污染程度。

采用水热法和化学浴沉积法制备了ZnO/CdS/Au异质结光催化剂,用于可见光下室温去除低浓度甲醛。通过XRD、SEM、TEM、XPS、UV、PL、PEC、EIS等手段对ZnO/CdS/Au异质结光催化剂的光学性能、光电性能进行表征。结果表明,Au负载的ZnO/CdS纳米棒组成的微米花状结构中,异质结和金属等离子体效应能拓宽光谱吸收范围,抑制半导体缺陷发光,促进光吸收以及光生电子空穴的分离和迁移;所制备的ZnO/CdS/Au异质结光催化剂对甲醛的去除具有优异性能,室温下2 h即可将反应舱内低质量浓度甲醛(1.25 mg·m⁻³)降至0.025 mg·m⁻³以下,且经过8次重复使用后催化剂活性没有明显下降。此外,影响甲醛去除的因素,如催化剂种类、光照波长、甲醛初始质量浓度、相对湿度也进行了研究和探讨。该研究结果对低浓度甲醛的室温去除具有理论指导意义。     

白腐真菌GanodermaSinense对镉和蒽的去除能力

重金属和有机物复合污染是水处理中的难题。本研究发现一株白腐真菌Ganoderma Sinensis不仅可以通过富集作用去除重金属镉(Cd),而且对蒽具有降解能力。当Cd的浓度为10~30 mg/L时,该菌株对Cd的去除率为6.78%~21.9%;当蒽的浓度为10~30 mg/L时,菌株对蒽的降解率为18.25%~33.3%;当Cd和蒽同时存在于培养基中时,随着Cd浓度的增加(10~30 mg/L),对菌株的生物量及蒽降解的抑制作用也在增大;而随着蒽浓度的增加(10~30 mg/L),菌株的生物量及Cd的富集能力并未受到显著的影响。实验结果表明,该菌株有望用于镉和蒽复合污染的水体处理。

珠三角地区近20年城镇化与景观生态安全耦合协调分析

针对城镇化进程加快导致的珠三角地区生态景观胁迫程度日趋严峻,亟需加强区域生态保护的现状,构建新型城镇化与景观生态安全的耦合协调模型,定量测度2000—2020年珠三角地区城镇空间扩展与景观生态安全耦合协调时空格局以及发展状态,运用多元回归分析和灰色预测模型揭示其驱动机理,并预测2040年城镇空间扩展和景观生态安全耦合的发展趋势。结果表明：珠三角地区9市城镇化与景观生态安全的耦合协调度在20年间呈现缓慢波动上升的趋势,耦合协调度由2000年的0.305~0.436升至2020年的0.385~0.545,现处于拮抗耦合阶段,未来20年将继续向着协调同步、有序发展的方向前进。珠三角地区经济发展不平衡,城镇开发建设和生态环境保护难以同步发展,景观生态状况不乐观,生态环境滞后型的地市逐渐增多,尚未全面形成良好的协调发展状态。对外开放程度、经济发展水平、科技投入水平等因素对耦合协调度的影响较为显著（P<0.05）,今后对于区域可持续发展需要加强耦合协调的机理研究,持续关注城镇空间拓展与景观生态安全的协调发展趋势及特征。

     

Comprehensive and high-resolution emission inventory of atmospheric pollutants for the northernmost cities agglomeration of Harbin-Changchun, China: Implications for local atmospheric environment management

Using a bottom-up estimation method, a comprehensive, high-resolution emission inventory of gaseous and particulate atmospheric pollutants for multiple anthropogenic sectors with typical local sources has been developed for the Harbin-Changchun city agglomeration (HCA). The annual emissions for CO, NOx, SO₂, NH₃, VOC_S, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, BC and OC during 2017 in the HCA were estimated to be 5.82 Tg, 0.70 Tg, 0.34 Tg, 0.75 Tg, 0.81Tg, 0.67 Tg, 1.59 Tg, 0.12 Tg and 0.26 Tg, respectively. For PM₁₀ and SO₂, the emissions from industry processes were the dominant contributors representing 54.7% and 49.5%, respectively, of the total emissions, while 95.3% and 44.5% of the total NH₃ and NOx emissions, respectively, were from or associated with agricultural activities and transportation. Spatiotemporal distributions showed that most emissions (except NH₃) occurred in November to March and were concentrated in the central cities of Changchun and Harbin and the surrounding cities. Open burning of straw made an important contribution to PM_2.5 in the central regions of the northeastern plain during autumn and spring, while domestic coal combustion for heating purposes was significant with respect to SO₂ and PM_2.5 emissions during autumn and winter. Furthermore, based on Principal Component Analysis and Multivariable Linear Regression model, air temperature, relative humidity, electricity and energy consumption, and the urban and rural population were optimized to be representative indicators for rapidly assessing the magnitude of regional atmospheric pollutants in the HCA. Such indicators and equations were demonstrated to be useful for local atmospheric environment management.     

Characterization of residues from dismantled imported wastes

Residues from the imported wastes dismantling process create a great burden on the ambient environment. To develop appropriate strategies for the disposal of such residues, their characteristics were studied through background value analysis and toxicity leaching tests. Our results showed that the heavy metals concentrations in residues were high, particularly those of Cu (7180 mg kg^?1), Zn (2783 mg kg^?1), and Pb (1954 mg kg^?1). Toxicity leaching tests revealed a high metal releasing risk of such residues if they are disposed of in a landfill. However, the residues of imported wastes were also found to have some intrinsic metal recycling value.
