Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in riverine runoff of the Pearl River Delta, China: assessment of mass loading, input source and environmental fate

A large-scale sampling program was conducted to simultaneously collect water samples at the eight major riverine runoff outlets of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), South China to assess the importance of riverine runoff in transporting anthropogenic pollutants from terrestrial sources to the coastal ocean. The concentrations of ∑₂₁OCPs (sum of 21 OCP components) and ∑₂₀PCBs (sum of 20 PCB congeners) were 2.57-41.2 and 0.12-1.47 ng/L, respectively. Compositional distributions of DDTs suggested the possibility of new input sources in the study area, but contributions from dicofol seemed considerably low. The annual inputs of ∑₂₁OCPs and ∑₂₀PCBs were 3090 and 215 kg, with those of total HCHs and DDTs being 1110 and 1020 kg, respectively. A mass balance consideration indicated that riverine runoff is the major mode carrying OCPs from the PRD to the coastal ocean, and the majority of OCPs is further dissipated to open seas.

装配式综合管廊光纤智能螺栓受力原型试验研究

掌握装配式综合管廊的螺栓节点在土体回填、加载、卸载等工况中所承受的应力变化,对于准确评价管廊施工和运营期的稳定性有着重要的作用。针对常规的监测手段难以满足综合管廊在施工及运营期间安全监测要求的瓶颈,基于开发的光纤光栅(FBG)智能螺栓应力计,对南京江北新区某综合管廊的建设过程进行原型试验研究。 现场监测结果表明：FBG 螺栓应力计监测数据与管廊的连接位置、施工工况、堆载大小及位置等有关。在管廊上部堆载从 0 增加至 4 000 kN 的过程中,FBG 螺栓应力计测试数据处于安全阈值,表明其具有足够的螺栓预紧度;根据相关规范,螺栓所受的最大应力满足设计使用要求,保证了管廊结构的承载力处于安全范围。本研究充分验证了光纤传感技术在装配式综合管廊受力变形监测中的有效性,未来值得推广应用。     

Distribution and partition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in surface water of the Pearl River Estuary, South China

Water samples were collected in the Pearl River Estuary in July 2002 and April 2003. The particulate and dissolved phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined. Total PAH concentrations in water samples were higher in April of 2003 (C (p): 4.0-39.1 ng/L or 445.1-1,089.9 ng/g; C (w): 15.9-184.2 ng/L) than in July of 2002 (C (p): 2.6-26.6 ng/L or 297.7-1,336.6 ng/g; C (w): 12.9-28.3 ng/L). It was found that 5, 6-ring PAHs enrich in the inner estuary samples and so did 3-ring PAHs in the July samples. Compositional differences in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) might be responsible for this observation. The partition coefficient (K (p)) increased with the increasing of the particular organic carbon content of suspended particles as well as the salinity of water, decreased with the increase of the total suspended particles content of samples. A linear correlation between logK (OC) and logK (OW) was found in two sampling periods. The observed values of logK (OC) exceed their predicted values derived form linear free energy relationship between logK (oc) and logK (ow), which could be attributed to the nonlinear sorption of soot-like carbons in suspended particles.     

Integrating multiple vegetation indices via an artificial neural network model for estimating the leaf chlorophyll content of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Spartina alterniflora</Emphasis> under interspecies competition

The invasive species Spartina alterniflora and native species Phragmites australis display a significant co-occurrence zonation pattern and this co-exist region exerts most competitive situations between these two species, competing for the limited space, directly influencing the co-exist distribution in the future. However, these two species have different growth ratios in this area, which increase the difficulty to detect the distribution situation directly by remote sensing. As chlorophyll content is a key indicator of plant growth and physiological status, the objective of this study was to reduce the effect of interspecies competition when estimating Cab content; we evaluated 79 published representative indices to determine the optimal indices for estimating the chlorophyll a and b (Cab) content. After performing a sensitivity analysis for all 79 spectral indices, five spectral indices were selected and integrated using an artificial neural network (ANN) to estimate the Cab content of different competition ratios: the Gitelson ratio green index, the transformed chlorophyll absorption ratio index/optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index, the modified normalized difference vegetation index, the chlorophyll fluorescence index, and the Vogelmann chlorophyll index. The ANN method yielded better results (R ² = 0.7110 and RMSE = 8.3829 μg cm^?2) on average than the best single spectral index (R ² = 0.6319 and RMSE = 9.3535 μg cm^?2), representing an increase of 10.78% in R ² and a decrease of 10.38% in RMSE. Our results indicated that integrating multiple vegetation indices with an ANN can alleviate the impact of interspecies competition and achieve higher estimation accuracy than the traditional approach using a single index.

不同背景气体下非平衡等离子体去除NO实验

设计了一套高压电源和柱-筒反应器装置,在不同的背景气体下进行了介质阻挡放电脱硝的实验研究,主要探讨了放电电压、含氧量、停留时间和功率对NO去除率的影响.结果表明:不同背景气体下,放电电压在一定的范围内(氩气:5～7kV;氮气:9～11kV)对NO脱除率有较大影响;氧气的加入对不同背景气体下的脱硝率都有影响,对氩气背景下的NO去除率影响最大;停留时间的增加有利于NO的去除,当停留时间增加到某一个值(7s)后,NO的去除率变化逐渐平缓;达到相同的去除率,氩气背景下的功率远远小于氮气背景,功率的增加有利于NO的去除;合理选择背景气体有利于NO去除率的提高和能耗的降低.     

Rapid degradation of hexachlorobenzene by micron Ag/Fe bimetal particles

The feasibility of the rapid degradation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) by micron-size silver (Ag)/iron (Fe) particles was investigated.Ag/Fe particles with different ratios (0,0.05%,0.09%,0.20%,and 0.45%) were prepared by electroless silver plating on 300 mesh Fe powder,and were used to degrade HCB at different pH values and temperatures.The dechlorination ability of Fe greatly increased with small Ag addition,whereas too much added Ag would cover the Fe surface and reduce the effective reaction surface,thereby decreasing the extent of dechlorination.The optimal Ag/Fe ratio was 0.09%.Tafel polarization curves showed that HCB was rapidly degraded at neutral or acidic pH,whereas low pH levels severely intensified H2 production,which consumed the reducing electrons needed for the HCB degradation.HCB degradation was more sensitive to temperature than pH.The rate constant of HCB dechlorination was 0.452 min-1 at 85℃,50 times higher than that at 31℃.HCB was degraded in a successive dechlorination pathway,yielding the main products 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene within 2 hr.
