Changes in the grassland-forest boundary at Ta-Ta-Chia long term ecological research (LTER) site detected by stable isotope ratios of soil organic matter

The carbon isotope analysis [delta13C values] of organic samples can be a useful research in ecological studies because delta13C values are indicative of the plant source. This study investigated the changes in plant communities along the grassland-forest boundary in the alpine forest at Ta-Ta-Chia long term ecological research (LTER) site in central Taiwan using carbon isotope data. The aim of this study was focused on the forest fire affected the change of vegetation community. Four pedons from grassland dominated by Miscanthus transmorrisonensis (pedons 1 and 2), transition zone by Tsuga and Yushania nittakeyamensis (pedon 3), and forest zone by Tsuga and nittakeyamensis (pedon 4) were examined. Soil organic matter (SOM) delta13C values in the upper soil horizon were similar to delta13C values of the overlaying vegetation types. This indicates that the boundary between these plant communities remained the same in the past decades. The delta13C values of the grassland SOM ranged from -19.4 per thousand to -24.1 per thousand, showing decrease with soil depth. This suggests that C4 plants (transmorrisonensis) have replaced C3 plants of Tsuga and nittakeyamensis. The delta13C values of the Tsuga forest area (pedon 4) range from -27.0 per thousand to -23.5 per thousand and showed only slight change with soil depth, implying that C3 plants have remained the major species in the forest.     

A comparison between superfine magnesium hydroxide powders and commercial dry powders on fire suppression effectiveness

The effectiveness of superfine magnesium hydroxide powders and commercial dry powder in fire suppression were compared in a laboratory-scale, immovable fire suppression apparatus. The investigation focused on their suppression effectiveness under various pressures. It likewise studied the relationship between the powders’ surface structures and their effectiveness on fire suppression. The microcosmic structure of the powders was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the Thermal Gravity Analysis (TGA) technique was used to analyze the thermal behavior of the superfine magnesium hydroxide powders. By analyzing the results, it could be concluded that the pressure, the particle size, and the microcosmic structure of the powders’ surface mainly decide the capability of the powders to extinguish the fire. Comparing this with commercial dry powders, superfine magnesium hydroxide powders extinguished the fire in less than 10 s.

银负载对活性炭纤维汞吸附性能的影响

银氨溶液浸渍活性炭纤维制得载银量14.07%的载银活性炭纤维.以筒状吸附体吸附气态Hg0的方式研究活性炭纤维银载前后的汞吸附性能,结果表明,载银后活性炭纤维汞吸附性能明显提高.实验还发现:随吸附温度升高,活性炭纤维的汞吸附效率随先增加后降低,而载银活性炭纤维的汞吸附效率随吸附温度升高而一直降低;延长停留时间和添加H2O(g)对两者汞吸附均有利.采用片状吸附体对2种吸附剂的汞饱和吸附量进行了测定,实验得出:70℃下活性炭纤维汞饱和吸附量为29.4 mg/g,载银活性炭纤维汞饱和吸附量为192.3 mg/g,即活性炭纤维载银后汞饱和吸附量提高到原来的6.54倍.扫描电镜分析发现:活性炭纤维上物理吸附汞占绝大多数,化学吸附汞很少;负载银后汞只吸附在活性炭纤维的含银活性点上,银粒子与汞结合生成银汞齐后形状趋于规则,且主要分布于活性炭纤维微晶的晶棱交界处.

露天煤矿声环境影响后评估——以胜利一号露天矿为例

本文以胜利一号露天矿为例,在主要噪声源强以及厂界和周边敏感目标的噪声级现状监测的基础上,对煤矿开发后声环境影响进行回顾性分析和验证性评价,结果表明：（1）煤矿四厂界环境噪声昼间和夜间均达到了《工业企业厂界环境噪声排放标准》（GB12348-2008）2类标准限值要求。噪声源中采掘场噪声较大,铁路装车站、铁路专用线以及破碎车间、机修车间、变电所、排水泵站、锅炉房等机修设备噪声源产生的噪声值相对较小。（2）随着煤矿开采量和开采面积的增加,露天煤矿采掘场噪声污染、厂界噪声和周边敏感点噪声会不断加大。而且,采掘场最大噪声级出现的方向也会随着开采方向的推进而变化。（3）验证性分析结果表明,胜利一号露天矿原环评结论较可靠,但预测结果相对偏低,偏低幅度昼间在5.2%-10.7%,夜间在2.4%-13.1%。（4）现状监测和回顾性分析表明,胜利一号露天矿噪声污染不太明显,目前采取的噪声防治措施起到了较好的防治效果。
