Experimental study on the feasibility of explosion suppression by vacuum chambers

In view of the invalidity of suppression and isolation apparatus for gas explosion, a closed vacuum chamber structure for explosion suppression with a fragile plane was designed on the base of the suction of vacuum. Using methane as combustible gas, a series of experiments on gas explosion were carried out to check the feasibility of the vacuum chamber suppressing explosion by changing methane concentration and geometric structure of the vacuum chamber. When the vacuum chamber was not connected to the tunnel, detonation would happen in the tunnel at methane volume fraction from 9.3% to 11.5%, with flame propagation velocity exceeding 2000 m/s, maximum peak value overpressure reaching 0.7 MPa, and specific impulse of shock wave running up to 20 kPa s. When the vacuum chamber with 5/34 of the tunnel volume was connected to the flank of the tunnel, gas explosion of the same concentration would greatly weaken with flame propagation velocity declining to about 200 m/s, the quenching distance decreasing to 3/4 of the tunnel length, maximum peak value overpressure running down to 0.1-0.15 MPa and specific impulse of shock wave below 0.9 kPa s. The closer the position accessed to the ignition end, the greater explosion intensity weakened. There was no significant difference between larger section and smaller vacuum chambers in degree of maximum peak value overpressure and specific impulse declining, except that quenching fire effect of the former was superior to the latter. The distance of fire quenching could be improved by increasing the number of the vacuum chambers.     

沉水植物轮叶黑藻附生细菌对双酚A的降解能力研究

沉水植物附生细菌可能具有降解转化水体中双酚A（BPA）能力从而影响该污染物在环境中的归趋.以轮叶黑藻为代表,分离筛选其BPA降解附生菌,结果共获得22株,在接种量为1×10⁸个/mL,37℃下72h对BPA的去除率为11.46%~25.06%.选择降解率最高的3株细菌B12、B14和B23,采用16S rDNA鉴定,结合生理生化反应和形态观察,3株细菌分别为属于Lysinibacillus sp.（杆菌属）,Brevibacterium sp.（短杆菌属）和Ochrobactrum sp.（苍白杆菌属）.将3株菌株添加至轮叶黑藻无菌苗体系中,发现BPA去除率显著下降（P<0.05）.物理去除部分野生轮叶黑藻表面部分附生细菌后,BPA去除率反而上升（约5%）.综合本研究结果,沉水植物附生细菌具有降解BPA的能力,但在沉水植物-附生生物体系去除BPA过程中贡献较小（约为23%,2d）,植物本身起关键作用.     

77％氢氧化铜水分散粒剂对6种陆生生物的毒性及环境风险评估

氢氧化铜是一种利用铜离子杀死孢子细胞的杀菌剂,对柑橘树溃疡病具有良好的防治效果.本研究依据《化学农药环境安全评价试验准则》和《农药登记环境风险评估指南》,对6种模式陆生生物:日本鹌鹑(Cotumix japonica)、蜜蜂(Apis mellif-era L.)、家蚕(Bombyx mori)、赤眼蜂(Trichogramma dendrolimi)、七星瓢虫(Coccinella septempunctata)和蚯蚓(Eisenia foetida)进行急性毒性试验并对其进行环境风险评估.结果 表明,对鹌鹑急性经口半致死剂量(7 d-LD50)为225.9 mg a.i.-(kg bw)-1,对蜜蜂急性经口48 h-LD50为6.19 μg a.i.-蜂-1.在飘移场景下评估该农药对家蚕的风险,得到最外围一行桑树上的风险商(RQ):RQfr=3.083＞1,风险不可接受;该农药在农田内对寄生性天敌赤眼蜂的危害商(HQ):HQin =9.702＞5,风险不可接受.对土壤生物蚯蚓急性和慢性的RQ值分别为799.8和2666,RQ＞1,因此对土壤生物蚯蚓的风险不可接受.77％氢氧化铜水分散粒剂对蜜蜂急性经口和鸟类毒性为中毒.环境风险评估结果显示,上述3项环境风险不可接受,说明农药环境风险评估方法不能只停留在对某一类型模式生物的毒性分级上.基于目前发展趋势,更新评估手段,建立风险评估模型是大势所趋.所以,更需要对农药进行全面研究,以提高农药使用的安全性和合理性.     

Bioaerosolization behavior along sewage sludge biostabilization

• Aerosolization behavior during a lab-scale sludge biostabilization was determined. • Many pathogenic species were identified to be preferentially aerosolized. • Bioaerosol concentration along the biostabilization ranged from 160 to 1440 cell/m³. • Sludge aerosolization behavior was different with that of other biowaste. Biostabilization is a cost-effective method for the beneficial utilization of sewage sludge. However, during the operation of sludge biostabilization, some microbial species could be released into the atmospheric environment from the solid-phase of sludge easily and present a high risk to human health. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of bioaerosol during sludge biostabilization. We found a total of nine bacterial phyla, one archaeal phylum, and two fungal phyla in the bioaerosol samples. Among them, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Ascomycota were the dominant phyla. In addition, the bioaerosolization indexes (BI) of prokaryotic phyla and fungal phyla ranged 0–45 and 0–487, respectively. Massilia, Pseudarthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Tremellales spp., and Fusarium were the preferentially aerosolized microbial genera with maximum bioaerosolization indexes of 19962, 10360, 1802, 3055, and 7398. The bioaerosol concentration during the biostabilization ranged from 160 to 1440 cell/m³, and we identified species such as Stenotrophomonas rhizophila and Fusarium graminerum with high bioaerosolization indexes that could be threats to human health. Euryachaeota, which belongs to archaeal phyla, had the highest biostabilization index in our study. We also found that Pseudarthrobacter was the easiest to aerosolize during the sludge biostabilization process.

G-CNTs/PVDF mixed matrix membranes with improved antifouling properties and filtration performance

A novel nanocomposite OMWCNT-A-GO was synthesized by conjugating OMWCNT and GO. The P-OMWCNT-A-GO membrane was fabricated by non-solvent induced phase inversion. The P-OMWCNT-A-GO exhibits the best water flux, BSA rejection and flux recovery. It should be due to the enhanced membrane pore size, porosity and hydrophilicity. Although carbon nanomaterials have been widely used as effective nanofillers for fabrication of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with outstanding performances, the reproducibility of the fabricated MMMs is still hindered by the non-homogenous dispersion of these carbon nanofillers in membrane substrate. Herein, we report an effective way to improve the compatibility of carbon-based nanomaterials with membrane matrixes. By chemically conjugating the oxidized CNTs (o-CNTs) and GO using hexanediamine as cross-linker, a novel carbon nanohybrid material (G-CNTs) was synthesized, which inherited both the advanced properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO). The G-CNTs incorporated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) MMMs (G-CNTs/PVDF) were fabricated via a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. The filtration and antifouling performances of G-CNTs/PVDF were evaluated using distillate water and a 1 g/L bovine serum albumin (BSA) aqueous solution under 0.10 MPa. Compared to the MMMs prepared with o-CNTs, GO, the physical mixture of o-CNTs and GO and pure PVDF membrane, the G-CNTs/PVDF membrane exhibited the highest water flux up to 220 L/m²/h and a flux recovery ratio as high as 90%, as well as the best BSA rejection rate. The excellent performances should be attributed to the increased membrane pore size, porosity and hydrophilicity of the resulted membrane. The successful synthesis of the novel nanohybrid G-CNTs provides a new type of nanofillers for MMMs fabrication.

A concise review of ecological risk assessment for urban ecosystem application associated with rapid urbanization processes

ABSTRACT

Urban ecological risk (UER) caused by rapid urbanization means potential threat to urban ecosystem structure, pattern and services. The scales of ecological risk assessment (ERA) have been expanded from individual organisms to watersheds and regions. The types of stressor range from chemical to physical, biological and natural events. However, the application of ERA in urban ecosystems is relatively new. Here, we summarize the progress of urban ERA and propose an explicit framework to illumine future ERA based on UER identification, analysis, characterization, modeling, projection and early warning and management. The summary includes six urban ERA-relevant methods: weight-of-evidence (WoE), procedure for ecological tiered assessment of risks (PETAR), relative risk model (RRM), multimedia, multi-pathway, multi-receptor risk assessment (3MRA), landscape analysis and ecological models. Furthermore, we review critical cases of urban ERA in landscape ecology, soil, air, water and solid waste. Based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, an urban ERA management platform integrates various urban ERA methodologies that can be developed to provide better implementation strategies of UER for urban ecosystem managers and stakeholders. We develop a conceptual model of urban ERA based on the urban characteristics in China. The future applications of urban ERA include uncertainty analysis using Monte Carlo techniques on the basis of geospatial techniques and comprehensive urban ERA using nonlinear models or process models.     

腐解黑藻生物量对高硝态氮水体氮素的影响

采用常见沉水植物黑藻为试验材料,引入太湖底泥并设定上覆水初始ρ(硝态氮)为15 mg/L,模拟初春沉水植物大规模腐烂时的温度,开展为期32 d的黑藻腐解试验研究. 结果显示,黑藻腐解对水体中ρ(氨氮)与ρ(硝态氮)之和的影响呈U字型,试验条件下黑藻腐解生物量为2.0 g(相当于0.111 kg/m2)时,水体中ρ(氨氮)与ρ(硝态氮)之和最低. 随着黑藻的腐解,释放进入水体的有机质和氮素增加,但同时也提高了水体中的ρ(TOC)/ρ(硝态氮)值,降低了Eh,提高了微生物的活性,因此有利于反硝化反应的发生.      

三(1,3-二氯-2-丙基)磷酸酯对大鼠的神经毒性效应

考察三(1,3-二氯-2-丙基)磷酸酯(TDCPP)对大鼠神经系统的毒性效应及其毒性机制,为有机磷阻燃剂(OPFRs)对哺乳动物神经毒性及其临床防治提供基础数据和科学依据。以Sprague-Dawley (SD)大鼠为受试生物,将TDCPP溶于橄榄油配制不同染毒剂量(125、250和500 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1))进行灌胃处理,溶剂对照组以相同体积的橄榄油进行灌胃,空白对照组不做任何处理,染毒周期为12周。结果表明,溶剂对照组和空白对照组的各项检测指标均无显著性差别(P0.05)。TDCPP染毒组与对照组之间的差异主要表现为(1)体重变化:染毒期间,TDCPP处理组大鼠的体重与对照组相比有下降的趋势,在第12周中剂量染毒组和高剂量染毒组大鼠体重均显著性低于对照组(P0.05);(2)行为学实验:Morris水迷宫实验结果表明,高剂量的TDCPP对大鼠的空间学习记忆能力造成影响,主要表现为在定位航行实验中,高剂量染毒组大鼠的逃避潜伏期显著性高于对照组和低剂量染毒组(P0.05),而在空间探索实验中,高剂量染毒组大鼠在目标象限停留时间显著性低于对照组(P0.05);(3)生化指标检测:各组间纹状体内多巴胺(DA)含量并无显著性差异(P 0.05),染毒组乙酰胆碱酯酶(ACh E)活性与对照组相比显著性降低(P0.01)且具有剂量依赖性,高剂量染毒组超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著性降低,高剂量和中剂量染毒组谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量显著性降低(P0.05),这表明TDCPP对大鼠脑组织造成了氧化损伤,TDCPP染毒组脑组织的炎症因子(TNF-α)水平均高于对照组,且中剂量与高剂量染毒组TNF-α含量显著性高于对照组(P0.05),揭示TDCPP能引起大鼠脑部的炎症反应,对脑组织造成损伤;(4)纹状体超微结构:电镜结果表明,TDCPP可导致纹状体细胞受到损伤,主要表现为细胞核固缩、线粒体损伤和突触间隙减小。研究表明,TDCPP可引起大鼠体重明显下降,导致大鼠神经细胞损伤,行为改变,抑制ACh E、SOD活性及GSH含量,使炎症介质增高,引起大鼠脑组织的氧化损伤和炎症反应。
