Improvement of Ecological Footprint Method and Application in Henan Province

1 INTRODUCTIONSustainability has now become a universal policy goal atleast in the official rhetoric. Indicators of sustainabledevelopment might give policy-makers and the factorsralpublic some feeling of whether a country is moving in amore or less sustainable direction. Leading approaches tomeasure sustainable development are reintroduced andreviewed, and different types of indicators to measuresustainable development are classified into three majortypes:(1) indicators based on system th…     

Nitric oxide removal by wastewater bacteria in a biotrickling filter

Nitric oxide(NO) is one of the most important air pollutants in atmosphere mainly emitted from combustion source. A biotrickling filter was designed and operated to remove NO from an air stream using bacteria extracted from the sewage sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant. To obtain the best operation conditions for the biotrickling filter, orthogonal experiments(L9(34)) were designed. Inlet oxygen concentration was found to be the most significant factor of the biotrickling filter and has a significant negative effect on the system. The optimal conditions of the biotrickling filter occurred at a temperature of 40℃, a pH of 8.0 and a chemical oxygen demand of 165 mg/L in the recycled water with no oxygen in the system. The bacteria sample was detected by DNA sequencing technology and showed 93%–98% similarity to Pseudomonas mendocina. Moreover, a full gene sequencing results indicated the bacterium was a brand new strain and named as P. mendocina DLHK. This strain can transfer nitrate to organic nitrogen. The result suggested the assimilation nitrogen process in this system. Through the isotope experimental analysis, two intermediate products(15NO and 15N2O) were found. The results indicated the denitrification function and capability of the biotrickling filter in removing NO.     

Evaluating the blank contamination and recovery of sample pretreatment procedures for analyzing organophosphorus flame retardants in waters

Organophosphate esters (OPEs), used as flame retardants and plasticizers, are widely present in environmental waters. Development of accurate determination methods for trace OPEs in water is urgent for understanding the fate and risk of this class of emerging pollutants. However, the wide use of OPEs in experimental materials results in blank interference, which influences the accuracy of analytical results. In the present work, blank contamination and recovery of pretreatment procedures for analysis of OPEs in water samples were systematically examined for the first time. Blank contaminations were observed in filtration membranes, glass bottles, solid phase extraction cartridges, and nitrogen blowing instruments. These contaminations could be as high as 6.4–64 ng/L per treatment. Different kinds of membranes were compared in terms of contamination levels left after common glassware cleaning, and a special wash procedure was proposed to eliminate the contamination from membranes. Meanwhile, adsorption of highly hydrophobic OPEs on the inside wall of glass bottles was found to be 42.4%–86.1%, which was the primary cause of low recoveries and was significantly reduced by an additional washing step with acetonitrile. This work is expected to provide guidelines for the establishment of analysis methods for OPEs in aqueous samples.

南昌井水位对远震的同震响应分析

通过对2001—2008年间139次震例数字化资料的总结,定性分析了南昌井水位资料对强远震的响应情况,并采用二阶回归方法对模型进行优化和定量分析。研究认为:南昌井水位资料对强远震响应较好,同震响应幅度与震级、震中距综合相关,响应距离随震级增加而增加,但在各震级档中均存在距离上限。     

无电力驱动的分子筛大气CO_2采样方法的建立及其初步应用

利用~(14)C进行大气化石源CO_2示踪是目前节能减排领域的热点研究,为了更加便利、环保地对大气CO_2进行长期、积时采样,在原有排磷酸溶液集气法的基础上,西安加速器质谱中心研究组设计和建立了新的分子筛采样方法和装置。进一步的实验表明,分子筛解吸附的最佳条件为550℃下热解20 min,该条件下分子筛解吸附效率达99%以上,且重复性良好。该方法所收集的碳量随采样天数呈线性增长,碳吸附速率约为1.04—1.30 mg C?d~(-1),可以满足高精度AMS-~(14)C测定及高分辨率大气~(14)C研究的要求。在相同实验条件下,利用分子筛方法和排磷酸溶液集气法同时采集大气CO_2气体,结果表明,两者存在较好的一致性,说明分子筛法可提供可靠的数据。此外,分子筛法易于操作和运输,并具有便利环保的特性,值得推广使用。目前该方法已应用于大气CO_2的收集,数据表明从冬季供暖期到夏季,西安市大气化石源CO_2浓度以0.22μL?L~(-1)?d~(-1)的速率逐渐降低。化石源CO_2来源分析结果进一步表明,西安市化石源CO_2主要源自于煤燃料的燃烧,而冬季采暖需求导致的煤燃烧量的增加可能是导致冬季化石源CO_2浓度较高的主要原因。
