Evaluation of accelerated dechlorination of p,p'-DDT in acidic paddy soil

The reductive dechlorination and behavior of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p'-DDT) was investigated in a paddy soil. Treatment with 5% (w/w) metallic iron (Fe(0)) resulted in sharp decrease of p,p'-DDT, whereas there was no extra effect when 2% (w/w) aluminum sulfate (Al(2)(SO(4))(3)) was added to the Fe(0) treatment. These results suggest that Fe(0) could effectively promote the reductive dechlorination of p,p'-DDT and its metabolites while Al(2)(SO(4))(3) did not show any effect on those processes. Furthermore, p,p'-DDT and its daughter compounds inhibited holistic soil respiration greatly at first but could be metabolized by certain species of indigenous microorganisms after a period of adaptation time in the soil. When treated with Fe(0), the polluted soil produced much less CO(2) while the addition of Al(2)(SO(4))(3) counteracted its negative effect to much extent.     

Use of stationary and mobile measurements to study power plant emissions

This paper presents a technique to study air pollution by combining high spatial resolution data obtained by a mobile platform and those measured by conventional stationary stations. Conventional stations provide time-series point data but cannot yield information that is distant from the sites. This can be complemented or supplemented by mobile measurements in the vicinity of the conventional sites. Together, the combined dataset yields a clearer and more precise picture of the dispersion and the transformation of pollutants in the atmosphere in a fixed time frame. Several experiments were conducted in the years 2002-2003 to track the impact of power plant plumes on ground receptors in the immediate vicinity (within a radius of 30 km) of the plants, using a combined mobile and stationary dataset. The mobile data allowed the identification of emissions from coal-fired and gas-fired power plants. Coal-fired power plants were the major source of sulfur dioxide (SO2), whereas nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from the gas-fired power plant played an important role in the formation of ozone (O3) at ground level. The mobile data showed that two particle size distribution regimes were detected: one had a dominant accumulation mode at 0.40-0.65 microm and the other at 0.65-1 microm. The existence of particles characterized by their mode at 0.65-1 microm and formed by in-cloud processes suggests that vehicular emissions were not the important source. Other local sources, such as power plants (elevated emission), were the likely sources, because Hong Kong does not have much manufacturing industry.

Effects of cathode potentials and nitrate concentrations on dissimilatory nitrate reductions by Pseudomonas alcaliphila in bioelectrochemical systems

The effects of cathode potentials and initial nitrate concentrations on nitrate reduction in bio- electrochemical systems （BESs） were reported. These factors could partition nitrate reduction between denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium （DNRA）. Pseudomonas alcaliphilastrain MBR utilized an electrode as the sole electron donor and nitrate as the sole electron acceptor. When the cathode potential was set from -0.3 to -I.1 V （vs. Ag/AgC1） at an initial nitrate concentration of 100 mg NO~-N/L, the DNRA electron recovery increased from （10.76 ± 1.6）% to （35.06 ± 0.99）%; the denitrification electron recovery decreased from （63.42 ± 1,32）% to （44.33 ± 1.92）%. When the initial nitrate concentration increased from （29.09 ± 0.24） to （490.97 ± 3.49） mg NO3-N/L at the same potential （-0.9 V）, denitrification electron recovery increased from （5.88 ± 1.08）% to （50.19 ±2.59）%; the DNRA electron recovery declined from （48.79 ±1.32）% to （16.02 ± 1.41）%. The prevalence of DNRA occurred at high ratios of electron donors to acceptors in the BESs and denitrification prevailed against DNRA under a lower ratio of electron donors to acceptors. These results had a potential application value of regulating the transformation of nitrate to N2 or ammonium in BESs for nitrate removal.     

Extraction and characterization of bound extracellular polymeric substances from cultured pure cyanobacterium (Microcystis wesenbergii)

Preliminary characterization of bound extracellular polymeric substances（bEPS） of cyanobacteria is crucial to obtain a better understanding of the formation mechanism of cyanobacterial bloom. However,the characterization of bEPS can be affected by extraction methods. Five sets（including the control） of bEPS from Microcystis extracted by different methods were characterized using three-dimensional excitation and emission matrix（3DEEM） fluorescence spectroscopy combined chemical spectrophotometry; and the characterization results of bEPS samples were further compared. The agents used for extraction were NaOH,pure water and phosphate buffered saline（PBS） containing cationic exchange resins,and hot water. Extraction methods affected the fluorescence signals and intensities in the bEPS. Five fluorescence peaks were observed in the excitation and emission matrix fluorescence spectra of bEPS samples. Two peaks（peaks T1 and T2） present in all extractions were identified as protein-like fluorophores,two（peaks A and C） as humic-like fluorophores,and one（peak E） as a fulvic-like substance.Among these substances,the humic-like and fulvic-like fluorescences were only seen in the bEPS extracted with hot water. Also,NaOH solution extraction could result in strong fluorescence intensities compared to the other extraction methods. It was suggested that NaOH at pH 10.0 was the most appropriate method to extract bEPS from Microcystis. In addition,dialysis could affect the yields and characteristics of extracted bEPS during the determination process. These results will help us to explore the issues of cyanobacterial blooms.     

常村煤矿综掘面合理除尘方式选择及其应用

为了合理选择常村煤矿综掘面除尘的通风方式,本文根据煤矿中常用的通风方式和气固两相流的理论,利用fluent非稳态的数值模拟方法来模拟压入式和长压短抽两种不同通风方式下常村煤矿掘进面粉尘的运移规律以及司机处粉尘浓度分布,并进行了现场实测验证。结果表明:对于粉尘运移模型,采用非稳态的求解器要比稳态的求解器更加精确;在长压短抽通风方式下,涡流对粉尘运移影响较大,可以通过调整风速和除尘风机的负压来减小涡流的影响区域;采用长压短轴的通风方式比压入式通风方式在数值模拟情况下,前者比后者掘进机前部的粉尘浓度降低了22.2%,通过现场实测得到其降低了31.6%,巷道中部粉尘的平均浓度可由508mg/m3下降到185mg/m3,降幅为63.6%,表明长压短抽通风方式数值模拟和现场实测都要优于压入式通风方式;此外,需要在掘进机的前面和回风侧增加除尘措施,以确保司机处的粉尘浓度符合标准。
