太湖流域水供给服务供需时空演变分析

太湖流域是我国经济发展最快、人口最密集的地区之一。受土地利用和降水条件变化的影响,太湖流域水供给服务供需关系也发生着变化。通过分别设置1995～2015年太湖流域不同降水条件和土地利用变化情景,利用Invest模型定量评估水资源供给量,同时利用空间离散法定量评估水资源需求量,并进一步分析供需赤字和盈余区域的时空变化。结果表明:1995～2015年随着土地利用变化,尤其是建设用地的扩张(20年来涨幅达106%),水资源需求占供给量的比重由73%升至90%,需要依赖外来客水的县域面积占整个流域的比重由19%升至33%;2015年在不同降水条件下供需关系变化更为明显,降水量越少,供需赤字的县域越多,在干旱年份整个流域需求量占供给量的117%,供给量已不能满足需求量,且赤字县域的面积占整个流域的47%。两种情境下,太湖流域东北部水供给服务供需关系均比西南部紧张。作为影响太湖流域水资源供需变化的主要因素,土地利用和降水条件变化分别通过影响需求量和供给量改变供需关系。     

低C/N比水产养殖废水生物脱氮实验研究

随着短程硝化-反硝化理论研究的发展,在低C/N比条件下,实现污水的生物脱氮处理已成为可能。为此,设计了水产养殖用水的三级生物膜短程硝化-反硝化处理工艺,并对该工艺在去除模拟水产养殖废水主要污染物的作用进行了初步研究。研究结果表明,在进水pH值7.5~8.5,温度为28~32℃,溶解氧为0.5~1 mg/L,游离氨浓度为5~10 mg/L的条件下,模拟废水的COD、NH4+-N和TN的平均去除率分别达到94.4%、91.6%和70.1%;并且低C/N比对出水氨氮NH4+-N的去除率影响不大,NO2--N的平均浓度控制在5.2 mg/L以下,低于鱼类的耐受浓度。表明该短程硝化-反硝化工艺设计,可用于低C/N比水产养殖废水主要污染物的生物处理,尤其是可消除NO2--N对水产养殖的潜在威胁,基本达到养鱼回用标准。     

动电修复不同形态重金属污染土壤效果研究

以钢铁厂附近废地的重金属土壤为对象,研究了动电修复技术去除重金属效果与其各化学形态的关系,讨论了电能消耗。结果表明,同一种重金属,其动电去除效率顺序为交换态碳酸盐结合态Fe-Mn氧化结合态有机结合态残留态,即吸附性越弱的形态,其去除率越高,如交换态去除率95%;吸附性越强的形态,其去除率越低,如有机态和残留态去除率低于29%;对于不同重金属,高移动性和弱吸附性的重金属较弱移动性和强吸附性的重金属去除效果好,即各形态的Cd、Cu和Zn的去除率明显高于相应形态Pb的去除率;能耗分析表明,实验时间超过96 h后,在电能有较大消耗的同时,重金属去除率却提高不明显。     

河北省海域承载力多层次模糊综合评价

借鉴有关承载力的研究成果,利用多层次模糊综合评判法对河北省海域承载力进行了评价分析。结果表明:1996—2006年间河北省近海海域承载力一直处于超载状态,但承载状况总体趋于好转;人口和环境污染的加剧、环境治理能力和科技发展水平缓慢、资源供给能力不足是导致河北省海域承载力超载的主要因素。基于此提出了改善河北省海域承载状况的对策建议。     

Levels,congener profile and inventory of polychlorinated biphenyls in sediment from the Songhua River in the vicinity of cement plant,China: a case study

This study investigated the contamination levels, homologue, and congener profiles and evaluated the residue inventory of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment of the Songhua River in the vicinity of cement plant. The total concentration of detected 35 PCB congeners ranged from 1.12 to 2.19 ng/g dry weight (dw) in sediment, with a mean value of 1.56 ng/g dw, and the concentration of PCBs decreased in the following order: the downstream?>?cement plant?>?upstream. The results of total organic carbon (TOC)-normalized PCB concentrations indicate that the sediments have low potential ecological risk in this area. The study results on homologue and congener of PCBs show that the emissions from cement production could be the major sources of PCBs in sediment, and the low-chlorinated PCBs will be exchanged among air, water, and sediment with increasing temperature during summer and flow to downstream with water during the wet season. The spatial density and total burden of PCBs in the surface sediments were 17.2 ng/cm² and 1.2 kg, respectively. To our knowledge, this study is the first to explore the pollution characteristics of unintentionally produced PCB emissions from cement industry by means of monitoring sediment samples.

Enhancement of chlorophenol sorption on soil by geophagous earthworms (Metaphire guillelmi)

Earthworms are the dominant soil biomass of many terrestrial ecosystems and markedly influence the physico-chemical and biological properties of soil; however, little is known about the effects of earthworm activities on the environmental behavior of micropollutants in soil. We studied the sorption and desorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol on geophagous earthworm (anecic Metaphire guillelmi) casts of various aging times and on the parent soil. The casts were characteristic of lower pH and higher content of fine particles (silt and clay) than the parent soil. The sorption of the chlorophenols on the soil and casts were well fitted to linear isotherms, with sorption capacity in the order of pentachlorophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenol > 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. The sorption on the cast with different aging time was quite similar and was higher than on the parent soil. The sorption on the soil did not change between pH 7.07 of the soil and pH 6.76 of the casts. The desorption hysteresis of the chlorophenols on the soil and casts was compound specific and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol showed the highest hysteresis. The higher sorption capacity of the casts was not owing to the lowered pH of the casts, but mainly to the higher fine particles in the casts and the possible changes of nature of the soil organic matter through the earthworm gut passage. Our results indicate that geophagous earthworms may change sorption behavior and thus the bioavailability and transport of chlorophenols in soil. Earthworm effects should be considered when evaluating the environmental behavior and risk of organic pollutants in the ecosystems where earthworms are abundant.     

Nano-TiO2 enhances the toxicity of copper in natural water to Daphnia magna

The acute toxicity of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in aquatic environments at high concentrations has been well-established. This study demonstrates that, at a concentration generally considered to be safe in the environment, nano-TiO₂ remarkably enhanced the toxicity of copper to Daphnia magna by increasing the copper bioaccumulation. Specifically, at 2 mg L⁻¹ nano-TiO₂, the (LC₅₀) of Cu²⁺ concentration observed to kill half the population, decreased from 111 μg L⁻¹ to 42 μg L⁻¹. Correspondingly, the level of metallothionein decreased from 135 μg g⁻¹ wet weight to 99 μg g⁻¹ wet weight at a Cu²⁺ level of 100 μg L⁻¹. The copper was found to be adsorbed onto the nano-TiO₂, and ingested and accumulated in the animals, thereby causing toxic injury. The nano-TiO₂ may compete for free copper ions with sulfhydryl groups, causing the inhibition of the detoxification by metallothioneins.
