Freedom Space for Rivers: A Sustainable Management Approach to Enhance River Resilience

River systems are increasingly under stress and pressure from agriculture and urbanization in riparian zones, resulting in frequent engineering interventions such as bank stabilization or flood protection. This study provides guidelines for a more sustainable approach to river management based on hydrogeomorphology concepts applied to three contrasted rivers in Quebec (Canada). Mobility and flooding spaces are determined for the three rivers, and three levels of “freedom space” are subsequently defined based on the combination of the two spaces. The first level of freedom space includes very frequently flooded and highly mobile zones over the next 50 years, as well as riparian wetlands. It provides the minimum space for both fluvial and ecological functionality of the river system. On average for the three studied sites, this minimum space was approximately 1.7 times the channel width, but this minimum space corresponds to a highly variable width which must be determined from a thorough hydrogeomorphic assessment and cannot be predicted using a representative average. The second level includes space for floods of larger magnitude and provides for meanders to migrate freely over a longer time period. The last level of freedom space represents exceptional flood zones. We propose the freedom space concept to be implemented in current river management legislation because it promotes a sustainable way to manage river systems, and it increases their resilience to climate and land use changes in comparison with traditional river management approaches which are based on frequent and spatially restricted interventions.

Carbon price impacts on sector cost:based on an input-output model of Beijing

Under the pressure of sustained growth in energy consumption in China,the implementation of a carbon pricing mechanism is an effective economic policy measure for promoting emission reduction,as well as a hotspot of research among scholars and policy makers.In this paper,the effects of carbon prices on Beijing’s economy are analyzed using input-output tables.The carbon price costs are levied in accordance with the products’embodied carbon emission.By calculation,given the carbon price rate of 10 RMB/t-CO₂,the total carbon costs of Beijing account for approximately 0.22-0.40%of its gross revenue the same year.Among all industries,construction bears the largest carbon cost Among export sectors,the coal mining and washing industry has much higher export carbon price intensity than other industries.Apart from traditional energy-intensive industries,tertiary industry,which accounts for more than 70%of Beijing’s economy,also bears a major carbon cost because of its large economic size.However,from 2007 to 2010,adjustment of the investment structure has reduced the emission intensity in investment sectors,contributing to the reduction of overall emissions and carbon price intensity.     

Corrective measures based on pressure control strategies for CO2 geological storage in deep aquifers

A prerequisite to the wide deployment at an industrial scale of CO₂ geological storage is demonstrating that potential risks can be efficiently managed. Corrective measures in case of significant irregularities, such as CO₂ leakage, are hence required as advocated by the recent European directive on Carbon Capture and Storage operations. In this regard, the objective of the present paper is to investigate four different corrective measures aiming at controlling the overpressure induced by the injection operations in the reservoir: stopping the CO₂ injection and relying on the natural pressure recovery in the reservoir; extracting the stored CO₂ at the injection well; extracting brine at a distant well while stopping the CO₂ injection, and extracting at a distant well without stopping the CO₂ injection. The efficiency of the measures is assessed using multi-phase fluid flow numerical simulations. The application case is the deep carbonate aquifer of the Dogger geological unit in the Paris Basin. A comparative study between the four corrective measures is then carried using a cost-benefit approach. Results show that an efficient overpressure reduction can be achieved by simply shutting-in the well. The overpressure reduction can be significantly accelerated by means of fluid extraction but the adverse consequences are the associated higher costs of the intervention operations.

聚甲醛废水的生物强化处理及微生物种群动态分析

聚甲醛工业废水含有甲醛、三聚甲醛和酚类等有害物,而且盐分和COD也较高,很难实现生物处理至达标排放.在聚甲醛污水厂建立中试系统并接种活性污泥,同时投加了经筛选的三聚甲醛降解菌Bacillus methylotrophicus和甲醛降解菌Candida maltosa、Pseudomonsa putida组成的复合菌剂,进行了聚甲醛、甲醛等有毒物质的选择性生物强化,通过温度梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-TGGE)技术对污水反应器进行了微生物群落结构分析,并与污水厂同期出水进行对照研究.结果表明,在投加复合菌剂的强化生物系统中,最终出水的甲醛、三聚甲醛(Trioxane,TOX)和COD降解率分别在97.8%、94.2%和92.6%以上,且系统表现出更高稳定性和抗冲击负荷能力.PCR-TGGE图谱表明,非生物强化系统中未检测到B.methylotrophicus,而该菌在生物强化系统中的活性一直得以维持,其对有毒物质的持续降解解除了其它微生物群落的抑制因子,污泥活性有效增强,说明该菌及复合菌剂确实对TOX及甲醛等毒性物质可有效降解,选择性生物强化可成为工业污水处理的可靠手段之一.
