Concurrency: a system design approach to environmental management and sustainability

The lessons of history indicate that mismanagement of natural resources and the environment often leads to potentially adverse consequences.The increasing interest in economic development,particularly in the developing countries of the world coupled with increasing population pressures and the globalization of economic activity is placing noticeable stresses on the ultimate sustainability of both human and environmental systems.Sustainable development is not a new concept.It has been an area of concern for different elements of society for some time.Yet efforts to understand the implications of sustainable development have not,until recently,been formalized.We have focused singularly on economic development and environmental quality as if they were mutually exclusive.This paper focuses on the concept of concurrency as both a conceptual framework and practicable method of understanding and implementing the ecology and economy of sustainability.     

生物电耦合对活性炭-超滤工艺处理地表微污染水的影响机理研究

利用生物电化学系统处理地表水时，弱电压不但会刺激电活性菌的呼吸作用，而且会引起氧化胁迫导致胞外聚合物（Extracellular Polymeric Substance，EPS）过量分泌.为确认在地表水处理中弱电压对膜污染和净水效率的影响，本研究设置了外加1.0 V直流电压（记为"BES系统"）和无外加电压（记为"CK系统"）的两组平行对照生物活性炭-超滤系统.经过50 d的运行，BES系统（36.1 kPa）相比CK系统（19.1 kPa）跨膜压差（Trans Membrane Pressure，TMP）增加更为显著，膜污染更严重.电路电流、电极电势和循环伏安（Cyclic Voltammetry，CV）曲线显示，随着装置运行，两系统生物膜逐渐稳定，并且产生具有氧化还原活性的EPS导致阳极电容增加.相比之下，BES系统产生了更多EPS，具有更高的阳极电容.水质指标显示，BES系统中比紫外吸光度（Specific Ultraviolet Absorbance，SUVA）、NH₄⁺-N和PO₄^3--P的去除增强但总有机碳（Total Organic Carbon，TOC）去除减弱；三维荧光光谱（Excitation-Emission-Matrix，EEM）和尺寸排阻色谱（Size Exclusion Chromatography，SEC）分析结果表明，BES系统膜池中产生了更多的生物聚合物，但腐殖质类有机物明显减少.活性炭表面EPS含量和腺嘌呤核苷三磷酸（Adenosine Triphosphate，ATP）含量的测试结果证实，弱电压刺激了生物膜的生长，同时增加了氧化还原活性EPS的含量.对膜表面累积多糖、蛋白质含量的测试分析进一步揭示了多糖类大分子生物聚合物在膜表面的累积是导致严重膜污染的直接原因.研究可为生物电化学系统在微污染水处理的研究和应用提供新的见解.     

乙草胺、铜污染共存对土壤甲胺磷蚯蚓降解过程的影响研究

为揭示利用蚯蚓活动强化甲胺磷降解的可行性,采用了微宇宙培养方法,通过有蚯蚓和无蚯蚓的对比实验,考察了乙草胺和铜分别与甲胺磷共存条件下污染黑土中甲胺磷降解过程的动态变化.结果表明,无论是否加入蚯蚓,甲胺磷单一污染的土壤中甲胺磷的降解符合一级反应动力学规律;蚯蚓活动能促进甲胺磷降解过程的进行.土壤中乙草胺或铜与甲胺磷共存时,均明显地干扰了甲胺磷降解过程随时间的动态变化;根据化学结构分析,推测两者对甲胺磷降解规律的影响机制可能类似.铜与甲胺磷复合污染的土壤中甲胺磷含量明显高于乙草胺与甲胺磷复合组,说明铜较乙草胺对土壤甲胺磷降解过程的延缓作用更强.

The study for polyaromatic hydrocarbons decay on Chinese coal soot particles in atmosphere

A study for the photochemical behavior of some polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), for example B(a )P, B( k )F and fluoranthene in coal smoke particles was performed by using indoor Teflon smog chamber.Experiments suggest that the photochemical reaction of PAH is first order reaction and kinetic rates of some PAH were obtained. It was shown that the reaction rate constant is proportional to light intensity and water vapor concentration. Temperature and PAH loading also have influence on PAH decay rate. A model for PAH loss has been set up on the basis of the results of our experiments and the simulating results of this model suggest that coal particle PAH half lives are of the order of a period of days in winter and a few hours in summer. Other factors which may have effect on the photochemical reaction of PAH have also been discussed.
