天津钢铁行业烧结烟气脱硫治理工程实践

天津两大钢铁企业分别采用LJS-FGD技术和石灰-石膏湿法工艺进行烧结烟气脱硫。通过分析两种脱硫方法的工程实践数据,从其脱硫效果、除尘脱硝效果、能耗技术指标等方面对两种脱硫方法进行比较:LJS-FGD技术在保证脱硫脱硝效果的基础上,具有总投资低、占地面积小、能耗低、污染小、运行成本低等特点;石灰-石膏湿法脱硫脱硝效果好,但能耗高,占地面积大,设备易于腐蚀。     

贵阳市生态文明绿色社区建设与探索

贵阳市有93个社区,27个社区达到了贵阳市市级生态文明绿色社区创建要求。但是,在建设过程中,各个社区特色仍不突出,建设内容的针对性不明显。通过对贵阳市生态文明绿色社区创建机遇、现状及存在问题的调查分析,针对生态文明理念建设、绿化系统建设、垃圾处理、排污系统及创建实施保障建设进行探索研究,并就存在问题提出了建议措施。     

川西亚高山3个优势树种细根形态特征

林木细根(直径2 mm)拥有庞大而复杂的分枝系统,在森林生态系统养分循环过程中发挥重要作用,因此研究不同树种细根构型形态对树种地下生态位分离、共存和森林生态系统功能过程具有重要意义.选取川西亚高山3个优势树种——岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)、粗枝云杉(Picea asperate)和红桦(Butula albosinensis),采用挖掘法采集完整的细根根系,依据根序分级方法,测定细根形态参数(直径、根长、比根长和比表面积).结果表明:细根形态在不同根序间差异显著,3个树种细根直径、根长随根序的升高而升高,比根长和比表面积随序级的升高而降低.不同树种间细根形态也表现出极显著差异,岷江冷杉、粗枝云杉和红桦细直径变化范围分别为0.31-0.85 mm、0.29-0.65 mm和0.23-0.55 mm,两个针叶树种(岷江冷杉和粗枝云杉)直径与根长均大于红桦.红桦的比根长和比表面积则高于两个针叶树种.综上所述,低级别根吸收能力更强而构建消耗更低;红桦比岷江冷杉和粗枝云杉根系吸收能力更强.     

Study of flow formed by three coplanar impinging pipe jets at inclination angles of 30° and 45°

This paper presents an experimental study of the interactions of three fully-submerged, coplanar impinging jets issued from long pipes. The jets were neutrally buoyant and were arranged symmetrically about the axis of a central jet, with two side jets set to intersect with the central jet at two inclination angles (30° and 45°) and three Reynolds numbers (4240, 6400 and 8000). Measurements of the flow fields were performed using particle image velocimetry to examine the flow structures in various planes, i.e., the jet axis plane (X–Y), the jet normal plane (X–Z) and the cross-sectional plane (Y–Z). This flow configuration results in pronounced interactions among the three jets, and hence better mixing than that of a canonical single pipe jet as illustrated by augmented centreline velocity decay, spreading rate and turbulence level. The jets at the inclination angle of 45° impinge and mix more rapidly than those at 30°. For each case, the flow is highly 3-dimensional, and jet development displayed several distinct regions (converging, merging and combining) along the streamwise direction. The expansion of flow in the X–Y plane is similar to the shape of a hyperbola with necking formed immediately downstream of the impinging point, whereas that in the X–Z plane assumes the shape of a parabola with an open rim exhibiting a pronounced velocity deficit in the central part of the combining flow. Self-similarity of streamwise mean velocity is explored in the combining region of the flow on the two planes of symmetry (X–Y and X–Z). Flow development in the combining region is dominated by large-scale vortical structures, including von Kárman-like spanwise vortices in the X–Y plane and secondary circulation in the form of two pairs of counter-rotating streamwise vortices in the Y–Z plane.

文章以毒死蜱和吡虫啉为受试农药,以4日龄内的意大利工蜂(Apis melifera L.)为受试生物,研究2种农药对意大利工蜂的10 d经口慢性毒性。结果显示:参比物质乐果对意大利工蜂的10 d半致死浓度(10 d-LC50)为0.550μg a.i.·g~(-1)食物,平均每天半致死剂量(LDD50)为0.019μg a.i.·蜂~(-1)·天~(-1);在有效试验条件下,毒死蜱对意大利工蜂的10 d LC50为0.582μg a.i.·g~(-1)食物,LDD50为0.021μg a.i.·蜂~(-1)·天~(-1);吡虫啉对意大利工蜂的10 d LC50为0.055μg a.i.·g~(-1)食物,LDD50为1.542 ng a.i.·蜂~(-1)·天~(-1)。试验结果可为毒死蜱和吡虫啉的安全使用提供科学参考,同时可促进我国农药对蜜蜂的安全性评价体系的完善。     

Mercury concentrations in the surface sediments of the intertidal area along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Total mercury (Hg) levels in the intertidal surface sediments along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia were analysed by using heat vaporization method. Total Hg levels in these sediments ranged from 3.00 to 201?µg?kg^?1 dry weight with a mean concentration of 60.0?µg?kg^?1 dry weight. More than 90% of the samples studied have the total Hg concentrations less than 150?µg?kg^?1 dry weight. Compare with the regional data and sediment quality guidelines, the Hg contamination in the intertidal area along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia was not serious, except for a few sites that might have received anthropogenic Hg in the samples collected between 1999 and 2000. It is suggested that a similar study of heavy metals in the sediments of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia be conducted regularly.
