气相正己烷的光催化及臭氧/光催化降解动力学

初步研究了气相中低浓度的正己烷在较大流量(5L/min～17L/min)臭氧/紫外(O₃/UV),光催化(TiO₂/UV)及臭氧/光催化(O₃/TiO₂/UV)3种方法的降解的动力学,考察了正己烷的初始浓度、流量、水蒸气浓度、臭氧投加量等因素的影响.研究表明:正己O₃/TiO₂/UV降解效率远高于O₃/UV的降解效率,明显高于TiO₂/UV降解效率;相对于初始浓度,正己烷的TiO₂/UV及O₃/TiO₂/UV反应符合L-H模型,对于O₃/UV过程用L-H模型不能得到较好的拟合;随着流量的增加正己烷在TiO₂/UV与O₃/TiO₂/UV降解过程中的反应速率先增加后保持不变,但是在O₃/UV过程中其反应速率变化不大;湿度对正己烷的降解有一定的影响;随着臭氧投加量的增加,正己烷O₃/UV和O₃/TiO₂/UV的降解速率呈直线增加,在O₃/UV过程中正己烷的反应速率增加更快.

汾河流域水土保持措施水文水资源效应初析

应用具有物理机制的分布式水文模拟模型(W EP-L),模拟了不同下垫面条件情景下的水循环过程,在此基础上,定量分析了汾河流域水土保持措施的水文水资源效应。通过对比分析2种不同情景下的水资源量,初步得出:汾河流域水土保持措施影响了局部水循环和水资源量及其构成,加强了水循环的垂向过程,引起地表截留量、土壤入渗量、土壤蒸发量以及补给地下水量增加;削弱了水循环的水平过程,引起地表径流量和河川基流量减少,壤中流微弱增加;地表水资源量衰减,而地下与地表水资源不重复量增加,狭义水资源量减少,但有效蒸散(发)量增加,广义水资源量有一定幅度增加。研究成果对于研究大尺度流域水土保持措施的水文水资源效应具有参考价值。     

A three-step approach to minimise the impact of a mining site on vicuña (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vicugna vicugna</Emphasis>) and to restore landscape connectivity

Resource extraction projects generate a diversity of negative effects on the environment that are difficult to predict and mitigate. Consequently, adaptive management approaches have been advocated to develop effective responses to impacts that were not predicted. Mammal populations living in or around mine sites are frequently of management concern; yet, there is a dearth of published information on how to minimise the negative effects of different phases of mining operations on them. Here, we present the case study of a copper mine in the Chilean Altiplano, which caused roadkills of the protected vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). This issue led to a three-step solution being implemented: (1) the initial identification of the problem and implementation of an emergency response, (2) the scientific analysis for decision making and (3) the planning and informed implementation of responses for different future scenarios and timescales. The measures taken under each of these steps provide examples of environmental management approaches that make use of scientific information to develop integrated management responses. In brief, our case study showed how (1) the timescale and the necessity/urgency of the case were addressed, (2) the various stakeholders involved were taken into account and (3) changes were included into the physical, human and organisational elements of the company to achieve the stated objectives.     

Recent changes (1973–2014 versus 1903–1972) in the flow regime of the Lower Paraná River and current fluvial pollution warnings in its Delta Biosphere Reserve

Alterations in flow regimes of large rivers may originate or increase risks to ecosystems and humans. The Paraná River basin (South America) undergoes human pressures (e.g., heavy damming in the upper basin, deforestation, and mixed pollution) that may affect the water quantity and quality of its terminal Delta (Argentina). In this study, after applying univariate and multivariate change-point detection and trend analyses to the daily data series of flows incoming to the Delta (Paraná-Santa Fe section), flow characteristics were compared by Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) and Environmental Flow Components (EFC). Some flood characteristics were also compared from hydrometric levels in the middle Delta (San Pedro station). Chemical and microbiological water variables in the main rivers of the “Paraná Delta” Biosphere Reserve were examined during two extreme hydrologic years (October 2008 to July 2010) to detect potential risk factors in association with hydrologic conditions. In the Lower Paraná River, a historical period (1903–1972) and two more altered periods (1973–1999 wet period and 2000–2014 dry period) were identified. Flow duration curves evidenced different changes in both altered periods, reflecting the joint effect of climatic variability and human influence. The most evident alterations in the flow regime were the lack of record of the extreme-low-flow component, the attenuation of monthly flow seasonality, and the increase in the number of reversals (dry period) and in the variability of maximum and minimum flow dates. These alterations are consistent with the monthly and daily flow regulation by upstream dams evidenced by available data from the current dry period. In the middle Delta, the marked monthly seasonality in flood days decreased only in the wet period. The proportion between the number of flood days exceeding the evacuation level and that of those exceeding the warning level doubled in the wet period but decreased only slightly in the dry period. In the Delta Reserve rivers, concentrations of Escherichia coli, cadmium, lead, iron, manganese, and ammonium exceeded guideline levels under a severe drought and a dispersal of cyanobacteria appeared under a high-flow pulse in La Niña year. The ammonium concentration exceeded the level for human drink with the overbanking flood stage in El Niño year. These occasional detections pose a potential risk to the aquatic life and, especially, to the inhabitants of the Reserve. Flow duration curves, IHA, and EFC are useful tools to evaluate trends or changes of ecological and social relevance in flow regime characteristics.     

Improving the Fenton process by visible LED irradiation

The effect of irradiation with visible light-emitting diode (LED) light on the efficiency of Fenton oxidation is investigated using phenol as the target compound (100 mg/L). The H₂O₂ dose and temperature are tested as operating variables with the aim of minimizing consumption of the reagents. At 50 °C, 10 mg/L Fe²⁺, and 60 % of the stoichiometric H₂O₂ amount, phenol was completely oxidized into CO₂, H₂O, and short chain organic acids, with oxalic acid completely degraded. Up to 95 % mineralization was achieved. This high efficiency can be attributed to the effect of LED radiation on the quinones/Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺/H₂O₂ cycle, which significantly increases the reaction rate, as well as on the photodecomposition of the iron complexes formed along the oxidation process, which also enhanced mineralization.

亚甲基蓝在有机酸膨润土上的吸附行为

为了解决染料废水带来的污染问题,采用柠檬酸对天然膨润土(RB)直接改性,制备柠檬酸膨润土(CAB),并探讨了溶液p H值、表面活性剂对CAB去除亚甲基蓝(MB)的影响。研究结果表明,CAB在去除MB方面有很宽的p H适宜范围,溶液p H值对CAB去除MB的影响不大;MB溶液中加入十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)以后,CAB对MB的去除率基本保持不变,而十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)的加入则明显抑制CAB对MB的去除;MB在CAB上的吸附同时符合Langmuir和Redlich-Peterson模型,CAB对MB的Langmuir吸附容量为252 mg/g;CAB表面的羧基和羟基是吸附MB的主要吸附位点。研究表明,CAB是一种在染料的去除方面非常有应用前景的吸附剂。
