长江中下游河流沉积物和悬浮物中金属元素的形态特征

采集长江中下游8个样点沉积物和悬浮物样品,用连续提取方法提取金属元素的5种化学形态（可交换态、碳酸盐结合态、铁锰氧化物结合态、有机质－硫化物结合态和残渣态）,用等离子体发射光谱（ICP－AES）分析所有样品中锂、钠、钾、镁、钙、锶、钛、钒、铬、锰、钴、镍、铝、钇和锆共15种元素各化学形态的含量,并用聚类分析方法研究这些元素在形态上的分类特点。结果表明：在沉积物和县浮物中,碱金属元素（锂、钠、钾）主要以残渣态和可交换态存在;碱土金属元素（镁、钙、锶）各形态含量较为均匀,但钙的碳酸盐态含量很高;锰和钴的铁锰氧化物态含量较高;铁族元素除锰和钴以外（钛、钒、铬、镍）、铝和锆残渣态含量高、其它形态含量低。所研究元素中,钙和锰的残渣态含量最低。     

不同接种条件下微生物燃料电池产电特性分析

比较了11种不同来源的接种物对微生物燃料电池产电性能的影响,并考察了接种污泥的TCOD和pH值等特性对电池产电情况的影响.结果表明,以华南农业大学资源环境学院新肥室沼气池污泥为接种物的燃料电池产电效果最好,产生的最大电压为0.53V(外电阻为500Ω),最大功率密度达到9.12W/m3.污泥的初始TCOD越高,所产生的电能越多;而pH值在5.6~7.8范围内时,对MFC产电能力的影响不大.通过扫描电镜对阳极表面微生物的观察发现,不同接种物电池阳极富集的微生物存在很大差异,这可能是影响微生物燃料电池产电性能的最主要因素之一.     

西太平洋热带海域降水化学特征

1988年在西太平洋热带海域采集雨水样品,分析结果表明,大部分样品偏酸性(pH<5.6).雨水的化学组成结构主要受海盐的影响,这与我国大陆上雨水的情况很不相同.将西太平洋热带海域降水化学特征与南印度海域和西大西洋海域的降水情况作对比分析,结果表明,前两个海域雨水中的SO~(2-)受非海盐源的影响比西大西洋海域的小.     

Enhanced 4-chlorophenol biodegradation by integrating Fe2O3 nanoparticles into an anaerobic reactor: Long-term performance and underlying mechanism

• 4-chlorophenol biodegradation could be enhanced in Fe₂O₃ coupled anaerobic system. • Metabolic activity and electron transport could be improved by Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles. • Functional microbial communities could be enriched in coupled anaerobic system. • Possible synergistic mechanism involved in enhanced dechlorination was proposed. Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles have been reported to enhance the dechlorination performance of anaerobic systems, but the underlying mechanism has not been clarified. This study evaluated the technical feasibility, system stability, microbial biodiversity and the underlying mechanism involved in a Fe₂O₃ nanoparticle-coupled anaerobic system treating 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) wastewater. The results demonstrated that the 4-CP and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiencies in the Fe₂O₃-coupled up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) were always higher than 97% and 90% during long-term operation, verifying the long-term stability of the Fe₂O₃-coupled UASB. The 4-CP and TOC removal efficiencies in the coupled UASB increased by 42.9±0.4% and 27.5±0.7% compared to the control UASB system. Adding Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles promoted the enrichment of species involved in dechlorination, fermentation, electron transfer and acetoclastic methanogenesis, and significantly enhanced the extracellular electron transfer ability, electron transport activity and conductivity of anaerobic sludge, leading to enhanced 4-CP biodegradation performance. A possible synergistic mechanism involved in enhanced anaerobic 4-CP biodegradation by Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles was proposed.

Geostatistical analysis and kriging of Hexachlorocyclohexane residues in topsoil from Tianjin, China

A previously published data set of HCH isomer concentrations in topsoil samples from Tianjin, China, was subjected to geospatial analysis. Semivariograms were calculated and modeled using geostatistical techniques. Parameters of semivariogram models were analyzed and compared for four HCH isomers. Two-dimensional ordinary block kriging was applied to HCH isomers data set for mapping purposes. Dot maps and gray-scaled raster maps of HCH concentrations were presented based on kriging results. The appropriateness of the kriging procedure for mapping purposes was evaluated based on the kriging errors and kriging variances. It was found that ordinary block kriging can be applied to interpolate HCH concentrations in Tianjin topsoil with acceptable accuracy for mapping purposes.     

A framework for policy formulation for small-scale mines: the case of coal in China

The effective management of small-scale mines is one of the major challenges for governments in the mining sector. Small-scale mining may bring tangible, short-term benefits to the communities involved. However, these benefits are frequently outweighed by the costs incurred in terms of illness, injury, pollution, waste of natural resources and market distortions. Governments, international agencies and advisers are generally able to draw up lists of actions which are required to regulate and manage small-scale mines more effectively, but turning plans into sustained action has proved more difficult. Two aspects of policy implementation are crucial to success: the alignment of interests, and the attitude and effectiveness of government. Using a case study of township and village coal mines in China, this article develops an approach to analysing these issues that could assist regional policy makers and advisers in formulating policy, in identifying key obstacles to policy implementation, and in identifying particular parties which need to be infiuenced or educated in order for the policy to succeed.
