Hg emission flux from various land covers, such as forests, wetlands, and urban areas, have been investigated. China has the largest area of coalfield in the world, but data of Hg flux of coalfields, especially, those with coal fires, are seriously limited. In this study, Hg fluxes of a coalfield were measured using the dynamic flux chamber (DFC) method, coupled with a Lumex multifunctional Hg analyzer RA-915+ (Lumex Ltd., Russia). The results show that the Hg flux in Wuda coalfield ranged from 4 to 318 ng m?2 h?1, and the average value for different areas varied, e.g., coal-fire area 99 and 177 ng m?2 h?1; no coal-fire area 19 and 32 ng m?2 h?1; and backfilling area 53 ng m?2 h?1. Hg continued to be emitted from an underground coal seam, even if there were no phenomena, such as vents, cracks, and smog, of coal fire on the soil surface. This phenomenon occurred in all area types, i.e., coal-fire area, no coal-fire area, and backfilling area, which is universal in Wuda coalfield. Considering that many coalfields in northern China are similar to Wuda coalfield, they may be large sources of atmospheric Hg. The correlations of Hg emission flux with influence factors, such as sunlight intensity, soil surface temperature, and atmospheric Hg content, were also investigated for Wuda coalfield.

近年来,反复强调治理黑臭河涌的必要性,为了修复广东南海某黑臭河涌,采用优势菌接种和多级好氧-富氧生物处理原位修复集成工艺系统修复黑臭水体。实验结果表明,通过向底泥和上覆水体里投加培养、驯化的优势菌种,辅以光合细菌、硝化细菌,上覆水体的水质显著好转,水体透明度由初始的5 cm 左右,上升至35 cm 左右,水体黑臭完全消除。在土著微生物的作用下,水体中的有机物得到很好的去除,上覆水体的COD、氨氮、BOD5和总磷的浓度显著下降,其去除率分别达到68.1%~78.7%、79.8%~80.1%、84.8%~85.2%和76.4%~83.6%,河涌的自净能力得到大大提高。 相似文献
