24、用电化学和紫外检测的高压液相色谱法测定卤代苯胺及有关化合物

卤代苯胺可以从各种渠道包括农药、除莠剂、杀菌剂的代谢作用,工业废料和硝基取代芳香化合物的还原而进入环境中。由于苯胺类化合物有毒所以要求在环境中监测。以前用气相色谱法,需要进行衍生化;而且某些被卤代的代谢物还不能被分离。本文研究的高压液相色谱法可在无衍生化步骤的情况下进行分离,并检测出亚毫微克量的物质。这些化合物是用商品c-18键合相柱分离的,并用价廉的电化学检定器检测至亚毫微克量级。同时还研究了快速但灵敏度很低的紫外线方法。列举了各种化合物的色谱图和灵敏度数据。讨论了电化学检定的应用和限度。     

二氧化氯发生器在医院污水处理中的正确应用

1前言医院污水中,不同程度地含有多种病毒、病菌、寄生虫卵和一些有毒、有害物质。如果不经过消毒,这些病毒、病菌和寄生虫卵在环境中将成为一个集中的污染源,引起多种疾病的发生和蔓延,严重危胁人类的身体健康。通过流行病学调查和细菌学检验证明,国内外历次大规模的传染病爆发流行,几乎都与饮用或接触被污染的水有关。医院污水中病原体的含量大,对环境理化因素抵抗力强,因而在环境中的存活率比较高,有文献资料证明,肠道传染病的病原体可以在各种外界环境中长期生存,因此,医院污水的消毒是医院污水处理中的关键的一步。二氧化氯(ClO2)是一…

High-performance permanent magnets

 High-performance permanent magnets (pms) are based on compounds with outstanding intrinsic magnetic properties as well as on optimized microstructures and alloy compositions. The most powerful pm materials at present are RE–TM intermetallic alloys which derive their exceptional magnetic properties from the favourable combination of rare earth metals (RE=Nd, Pr, Sm) with transition metals (TM=Fe, Co), in particular magnets based on (Nd,Pr)₂Fe₁₄B and Sm₂(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr)₁₇. Their development during the last 20 years has involved a dramatic improvement in their performance by a factor of >15 compared with conventional ferrite pms therefore contributing positively to the ever-increasing demand for pms in many (including new) application fields, to the extent that RE–TM pms now account for nearly half of the worldwide market. This review article first gives a brief introduction to the basics of ferromagnetism to confer an insight into the variety of (permanent) magnets, their manufacture and application fields. We then examine the rather complex relationship between the microstructure and the magnetic properties for the two highest-performance and most promising pm materials mentioned. By using numerical micromagnetic simulations on the basis of the Finite Element technique the correlation can be quantitatively predicted, thus providing a powerful tool for the further development of optimized high-performance pms.     

The impact of constituent ions of acid mist on assimilation and stomatal conductance of Norway spruce prior and post mid-winter freezing

Norway spruce seedlings were sprayed twice weekly with one of a range of artificial mists at either pH 2.5, 3.0 or 5.6, for three months. The mists consisted of either (NH4)2SO4 (pH 5.6), NH4NO3 (pH 5.6), water (pH 5.6), HNO3 (pH 2.5), H2SO4 (pH 2.5). In late December 1988 and early January 1989 the light response of assimilation and stomatal conductance were assessed in the laboratory following a 4-day equilibration period at 12 degrees C. The intact trees were then subjected to a mild (-10 degrees C), brief (3 h) frost in the dark and the recovery of light saturated assimilation (Amax) was followed during the subsequent light period. The same trees were then subjected to a second 3 h (-18 degrees C) frost. The recovery of Amax during the next day was followed. All ion-containing mists stimulated Amax and apparent quantum yield relative to control trees, irrespective of pH. The mists containing SO4 made stomatal conductance unresponsive to light flux density and caused the stomata to lock open. Frosts of -10 degrees C and -18 degrees C did not inhibit the Amax of control trees for longer than 200 min into the light period. In contrast, the ion-containing mists exerted a significant inhibitory effect upon the recovery of Amax. Nitric acid inhibited Amax to 35% of the pre-frost value, whilst the remaining treatments inhibited Amax between 15% and 40% of the pre-frost value. It is concluded that SO4 causes increased mid-winter frost sensitivity and NO3 ameliortes this effect. The results are discussed in relation to forest decline.     

Susceptibility of different yeast species to environmental toxic metals

The purpose of the study reported here was to investigate the relative resistance of yeast species to various metallic and metalloid ions, with a view to gaining more knowledge on this subject, as resistant species may become dominant in habitats contaminated with the relevant metals. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis were grown in media containing different concentrations of mercury (as HgCl(2)), cadmium (as CdCl(2)), lead (as Pb(CH(3)COO)(2)), arsenic (as Na(2)HAsO(4)) and selenium (as Na(2)SeO(3)) for various intervals. Invariably, the two Candida species turned out to be more resistant to all the metals studied than S. cerevisiae. The metal showing the highest toxicity for these species was mercury, with cadmium being the second, lead, the third and arsenic and selenium being the least toxic elements. Strains showing resistance to mercury were isolated, even in the case of S. cerevisiae.     

Spontaneous resettlement after drought: An Ethiopian example*

Based upon two recent periods of fieldwork among a spontaneously resettled population of cattle herders in southwestern Ethiopia, this paper is an attempt to illustrate, by a particular case, the general proposition that external aid, if it is not to be counter-productive, must meet people's needs as they themselves define them. The people in question, the Mursi, have experienced, since 1970, their worst period of drought and hunger in living memory. They have responded to this experience with resilience and inventiveness and largely without external assistance. The paper concentrates on a recent, drought induced, migration of Mursi to higher land, outside their traditional territory, and shows how the migrants are adapting to a new way of life which brings them into direct conflict with some of their most cherished cultural traditions.
