A preliminary study on the characteristics of fogwater in the masson pine forest in Chongqing, China

The masson pine (Pinns massoniana Lamb.) forest of 2000 ha situated on Nanshan, the south bank of the Yangtze River near Chongqing, China. From 1982, some trees began to die. Since then, half of the trees have died and the whole forest is in danger. Prom November 1986 to January 1987, a study dealt with the characteristics of fogwater in that area was carried out, in order to explain the relationship between acid fog and masson pine decline. The results of our study showed that the acid fog might be responsible in part for the decline of the masson pine forest.     

周期循环静止沉淀工艺实验研究与实践

为了提高给水处理中常规沉淀池的沉淀效率，采用多个沉淀池代替常规的单一沉淀池进行沉降实验，多池依次进水、依次静止沉淀，然后出水，周期循环，并在实验的基础上提出了“周期循环静止沉淀”这种给水处理新工艺。实验结果和实践表明，周期循环静止沉淀工艺与常规连续进、出水的单一沉淀池工艺相比，其沉淀效率明显提高，其出水水质显著改善。     

Biologically effective ultraviolet radiation in Beijing area

Ozone layer depletion implies the enhancement of solar ultraviolet radiation at the earth's surface. However, aerosol contributes to the scattering of solar radiation and leads to the reduction of UV-B radiation on the ground. In this paper, the model calculation shows that due to effects of atmospheric ozone and aerosol UV-B radiation in Beijing in the past decade has decreased with the annual change rate of 0.7%, which is probably approximate to the measured values. The effects of three scenarios for long-term changes in atmospheric ozone and aerosol concentrations on UV-B radiation reaching the ground in are also discussed.     

Photochemical reaction of particle-bound 1-nitropyrene under simulated atmospheric condition

Photoreaction of particle-bound 1-nitropyrehe (1-NP) under simulated atmospheric condition has been studied. When 1-NP coated on the surface of silica gel was suspended in a stream of nitrogen, oxygen or air, respectively, and exposed to intensive light of xenon lamp, photochemical reaction took place. The result of kinetic study showed it to be of the second order. The photoreaction products were identified by off-line HPLC/MS as 1,6-pyrenequinone, 1,8-pyrenequinone, trinitro-hydroxypyrene, dinitrohydroxypyrene, 6,6'- dipyrenenone, etc. The mutagenicity of photochemical reaction products is higher in oxygen and air, and lower in nitrogen than that of the precursor 1-NP, as detected by the Ames Bioassay.     

Effect of the chemical forms of selenium on its volatilization from soils in Chinese low-selenium belt

Bio-availability of different forms of selenium and its rate of volatilization from soils in Chinese low-selenium belt were examined. Adding directly solutions of either inorganic or organic selenium compounds to soil could only slightly increase the rate of selenium volatilization from soil. Volatilization of selenium from soil was largely enhanced when certain nutritional solutions along with selenium compounds were added. Garlic water extract and seleno-amino acids, i.e., seleno-methionine and seleno-cysteine, were found more effective for their bio-availability to the volatilization process. Under laboratory simulating conditions, the volatilization rate of selenium from different types of soils in Chinese low-selenium belt was found in the range of 0.10-0.27 ng.kg-1 soil.day-1 over a 17 days period, generally followed by a decline with time of incubation.     

Performances of the cotton bollworm,Heliothis armigera (Hubner) at different temperatures and relative humidities

The cotton bollworm, Heliothis armigera (Hubner) is an important insect species at-tacking many crops. Their performances have been examined at temperatures from 15℃ to 35℃ and relative humidities (RH) between 22.5% and 100%, respectively, in order to assess possible effect of climate in future on its occurrence and infestation. Durations of all developmental stages of the insect shortened with increasing temperature. The temperature favoring population growth ranged from 25℃ to 30℃.Larval duration and adult longevity decreased as relative humidity increased, but development of other stages was independent of RH. At RH of over 64%, their survival rate, egg production and oviposition rate varied a little, and all the population parameters of the insect remained at a relative constant level.

Microorganisms desulfurization of coal

A culture of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans strain T-4, isolated from Song Zao Coal Mining, China, is able to use pyrite from coal as a source of energy. The bacterial culture solution with 108 -109 cells/ml, pH 1.55 - 1.70 was employed in the nine coal samples with -200 mesh have been studied at initial pH 1.7.30℃ , 20-30% coal pulp density. The bacterial removal sulfur from coal in samples 3, 4, 6 and 7 were reduced to 1.05 - 1.33% and 86.11% of pyritic sulfur can be removed in 4-24 hours.
