生活垃圾和玉米秆混合热解动力学及产物分布

为探讨生活垃圾和玉米秆共热解过程中的协同关系和产物分布,采用热重分析仪对生活垃圾、玉米秆及其混合物进行了热解实验研究,并进行动力学计算。结果表明,混合热解可分为脱水、热解、炭化、焦催化气化4个阶段,前3个阶段与单独热解过程类似,第4个阶段与单独热解相比失重明显增加,表明混合热解过程中存在协同效应;混合物热解的实际活化能为28.492 k J/mol,低于单独热解及其混合物热解理论活化能,可见混合热解利于热解反应进行。为明晰混合热解对热解反应的促进作用,利用固定床热解实验,研究了混合比例对产物产率和热解气各组分产率的影响。结果表明,在不同混合比例下,固液实际产率低于理论值,而气体实际产率则比理论值高;混合物料热解气中H2、CH4、CO2产量均高于其理论值,而CO产量却相反,低于其理论值。     

森林凋落物研究现状及我国西南喀斯特地区研究展望

近几十年来,我国西南喀斯特地区生态环境退化严重,石漠化面积迅速扩大,林地覆盖率急剧下降,成为制约我国西部大开发生态建设中不可回避的重要科学问题,严重影响了西南地区社会、经济的可持续发展。喀斯特地区土层薄且侵蚀严重,土壤中的有机碳和营养盐主要来自地表枯枝落叶层的分解及累积。在气候变暖、陆地生态系统土壤温度升高、土壤有机碳急速流失和土壤质量退化的背景下,分析不同林下凋落物量和降解动态以及土壤有机碳库积累差异,揭示西南喀斯特地区不同林地凋落物归还量及其对土壤碳库积累的贡献具有极其重要的意义,将为喀斯特地区林地恢复重建和石漠化遏制工作提供科研依据。     

Day-to-Day Particulate Exposures and Health Changes in Los Angeles Area Residents with Severe Lung Disease

ABSTRACT

We measured particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) exposures, home temperature, arterial blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and lung function in 30 volunteer Los Angeles area residents during four-day intervals. Continuous Holter electrocardiograms were recorded in a subgroup on the first two days. Subjects recorded symptoms and time-activity patterns in diaries during monitoring, and during a reference period one week earlier/later. All subjects had severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PM₁₀ (24-hr mean) at monitoring stations near subjects’ homes averaged 33 μg/m³, and ranged from 9 to 84 μpg/m³. In longitudinal analyses, day-to-day changes in PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ outside subjects’ homes significantly tracked concurrent station PM10 (r² = 0.22 and 0.44, respectively). Indoor and personal concentrations were less related to station readings (r² ≤ 0.1), but tracked each other (r² ≥ 0.4). In-home temperatures tracked outdoor temperatures more for lows (r² = 0.27) than for highs (r² = 0.10). These longitudinal relationships of subject-oriented and station PM measurements were generally similar to cross-sectional relationships observed previously in similar subjects. Among health measurements, only blood pressure showed reasonably consistent unfavorable longitudinal associations with particulates, more with station or outdoor PM than with indoor or personal PM.     

Replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands: Ecosystem service implications of two production forest alternatives in Sweden

Whereas there is evidence that mixed-species approaches to production forestry in general can provide positive outcomes relative to monocultures, it is less clear to what extent multiple benefits can be derived from specific mixed-species alternatives. To provide such insights requires evaluations of an encompassing suite of ecosystem services, biodiversity, and forest management considerations provided by specific mixtures and monocultures within a region. Here, we conduct such an assessment in Sweden by contrasting even-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies)-dominated stands, with mixed-species stands of spruce and birch (Betula pendula or B. pubescens), or spruce and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). By synthesizing the available evidence, we identify positive outcomes from mixtures including increased biodiversity, water quality, esthetic and recreational values, as well as reduced stand vulnerability to pest and pathogen damage. However, some uncertainties and risks were projected to increase, highlighting the importance of conducting comprehensive interdisciplinary evaluations when assessing the pros and cons of mixtures.     

Rapid determination of trace dicyandiamide in mussels from Zhejiang coast by ultra-fast liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry with isotope internal standard dilution technique

In this study, a rapid and accurate ultra-fast liquid chromatography–tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UFLC–MS/MS) method coupled with the isotope internal standard dilution technique was established and validated to determine trace dicyandiamide (DCD) in mussels. The sample was extracted by acetonitrile, and chromatographic separations were performed on an Acquity UPLC BEH Amide column by using water–acetonitrile (9:91, v/v) as the mobile phase within 3 min. DCD was determined by using DCD-¹⁵N₄ as an internal standard. The results showed that the recoveries were between 96.2 and 103 % with relative standard deviations (RSDs) in the range of 0.6–6.0 %. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.05 μg/kg. This method can be applied to the routine analysis for the rapid and sensitive determination of trace DCD in mussels. Overall, the data reiterate the importance of investigating the presence of DCD in marine biological samples, which can act as food quality controls for human health.     

室外条件下蚯蚓协同微生物直接处理鲜鸡粪

选用赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia fetida)协同EM菌和硝化细菌直接进行室外条件下的鲜鸡粪处理实验,以菌剂接种量、缓冲层厚度、投放密度等为主要筛选参数,并对经蚯蚓消化处理前后的鸡粪冲淋水中氮磷的变化进行了取样检测.实验结果表明,室外条件下蚯蚓借助于微生物的协同作用可直接处理鲜鸡粪.当鲜鸡粪负荷为15 g/d时,在接种EM菌剂和硝化菌剂各10 mL,铺设4 cm厚度凹土缓冲层,蚯蚓投放密度为12条的条件下,鲜鸡粪被降解的效果最好.经过蚯蚓消化降解后的鸡粪水中TN浓度降低了20.34％,TN中无机氮含量增多,NH4+-N和N03--N所占TN比例分别增加了18.79％和37.96％;TP浓度降低了14.40％.
