The perception of aquaculture on the Swedish West Coast

Efforts are on the way on the Swedish West Coast to develop the capacity for cultivation of marine resources, notably of kelps. Given that this is a region of great natural and national heritage, public opposition to marine developments has been identified as a possible risk factor. This survey thus sought to shed light on awareness levels, perceptions of different types of aquaculture and on reactions to a scenario depicting future aquaculture developments on the West Coast. When asked about their general opinions of aquaculture, respondents tended to be favourable though a majority chose neutral responses. On the whole, respondents were favourable to the depicted scenario. Finally, it was found that the high-awareness group tended to be more supportive than the low or medium-awareness groups, hinting at the benefits of increasing awareness to reduce public aversion and to support a sustainable development of aquaculture on the Swedish West Coast.     

A review of regulations and guidelines related to winter manure application

Winter manure application elevates nutrient losses and impairment of water quality as compared to manure applications in other seasons. In conjunction with reviewing global distribution of animal densities, we reviewed worldwide mandatory regulations and voluntary guidelines on efforts to reduce off-site nutrient losses associated with winter manure applications. Most of the developed countries implement regulations or guidelines to restrict winter manure application, which range from a regulative ban to guidelines based upon weather and field management conditions. In contrast, developing countries lack such official directives, despite an increasing animal production industry and concern over water quality. An analysis of five case studies reveals that directives are derived from a common rationale to reduce off-site manure nutrient losses, but they are also affected by local socio-economic and biophysical considerations. Successful programs combine site-specific management strategies along with expansion of manure storage to offer farmers greater flexibility in winter manure management.     

Large-scale environmental degradation results in inequitable impacts to already impoverished communities: A case study from the floating villages of Cambodia

Cambodian subsistence communities within the Tonle Sap Great Lake area rely on resource extraction from the lake to meet livelihood needs. These fishing communities—many of which consist of dwellings floating on the lake—face potentially profound livelihood challenges because of climate change and changing hydrology due to dam construction for hydroelectricity within the Mekong Basin. We conducted interviews across five village communities, with local subsistence fisher people in the Tonle Sap in 2015, and used thematic analysis methods to reveal a fishery system that is undergoing rapid ecological decline, with local fishing communities increasingly experiencing reductions in available fish stocks. As a result, over 100 000 people living in these communities are experiencing a direct loss of well-being and livelihood. We discuss these losses and consider their implications for the future viability of Cambodian floating village communities.     

中试规模下蜂窝式Mn-Ce/Al2O3脱硝催化剂的低温性能

采用自行设计的反应装置,研究中试规模条件下关键参数对蜂窝堇青石Mn-Ce/Al2O3催化剂脱硝效率的影响以及抗硫抗水性能,并通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、能谱仪（EDS）、X射线衍射（XRD）和比表面积测试仪（BET）研究催化剂的理化性质。结果表明,反应温度、空速、氨氮比对催化活性均有明显影响,同时,催化剂对氮氧化物浓度有较强适应性,NO浓度在134~469 mg·m-3区间内脱硝效率均可保持在75%以上。催化剂在100 oC,空速3 336 h-1,[NH3]/[NO]为0.9,烟气量20 m3·h-1条件下连续反应168 h,其催化效率可以稳定保持在75%~80%,说明蜂窝式Mn-Ce/Al2O3具有良好的稳定性。催化剂在含5%H2O气氛中催化效率由80%减少至60%,在去除H2O后抑制作用消失。反应气中通入143 mg·m-3 SO2后催化效率由80%降低至62%,停止通入SO2后活性不能恢复。同时通入143 mg·m-3 SO2和5%H2O,催化效率下降并维持在53%左右,停止通入后活性恢复至67%。通过对SO2中毒前后的催化剂表征分析可得,SO2存在条件下生成的硫酸铵盐堵塞了20 nm孔径以下的部分孔道,覆盖了催化剂表面活性位点,是引起效率下降的主要原因。     

3种植物水浸提液对工业园区污水处理厂污泥中重金属的淋洗效果

为探讨植物材料淋洗去除工业园区污水污泥中重金属的可行性,选用马桑（Coriaria nepalensis）、枳椇子（Hovenia acerba）和乌药（Lindera aggregata）的水浸提液作为淋洗剂,采用振荡淋洗实验研究了不同淋洗剂浓度和pH、淋洗时间和温度对其去除供试污泥中重金属的影响,并确定淋洗的最佳参数。结果表明,当3种淋洗剂浓度从20 g·L-1上升到80 g·L-1或淋洗温度从15 ℃增至55 ℃时,重金属去除率均呈先升高后稳定的趋势。同时,淋洗效果还受淋洗剂pH和淋洗时间的影响。基于淋洗效果、技术应用和经济成本,枳椇子、乌药和马桑水浸提液淋洗的最佳参数分别为pH 7、80 g·L-1、25 ℃、180 min,pH 4、100 g·L-1、25 ℃、180 min和pH 4、80 g·L-1、25 ℃、180 min,此时各淋洗剂重金属去除率总体表现为Cd>Cu>Pb>Ni。其中枳椇子和乌药对Cd去除率较高,分别为73.12%和82.60%,但Ni去除率仅为23.34%和19.42%;与前2种植物材料相比,马桑对Pb（36.40%）和Ni（27.88%）的去除率高,但对Cd（30.11%）和Cu（30.38%）的去除率相对较低。淋洗后污泥中Cu和Pb含量均可达农用污泥A级标准（CJ/T 309-2009）,乌药淋洗后Cd及马桑淋洗后Ni含量可达到A级标准,其他淋洗剂情况下Cd和Ni含量可达到B级标准。此外,植物水浸提液淋洗污泥还能有效保留甚至增加其养分,降低可交换态、碳酸盐结合态和铁锰结合态重金属含量。研究表明,马桑、枳椇子和乌药在淋洗去除污泥中重金属和实现污泥土地应用上有一定潜力。

采用辊压成型法制备了活性炭（AC）/聚四氟乙烯（PTFE）质量比分别为6、5和3的AC/PTFE 电极,并利用SEM对电极表面进行表征。结果表明,随着质量比的降低电极表面活性炭颗粒间的连接更为紧密。以制得的AC/PTFE电极,碳毡分别为微生物燃料电池（MFC）的阴极、阳极,利用AC/PTFE阴极在曝气条件下产生的过氧化氢在阴极处理模拟的罗丹明B废水。研究了不同质量比AC/PTFE阴极对罗丹明B的去除效果及同步产电情况,结果表明以AC/PTFE质量比为6的AC/PTFE阴极在96 h内对罗丹明B的去除率达到96%,MFC获得的最大功率密度为105 mW·m-2;同时研究了在阴极液加入0.2 g·L-1 Fe2+的条件下,阴极液为不同pH值时,阴极对罗丹明B的去除效果及MFC产电情况。结果表明在阴极液pH= 3的情况下,罗丹明B的去除率在36 h内达到了98.9%,MFC的最大功率密度达到210 mW·m-2,罗丹明B的去除速率及MFC能量的输出得到了明显提高。     

13X分子筛对水体中钒离子的吸附

为研究分子筛对水体中重金属的吸附效果,选取了13X分子筛作为实验材料,研究其对钒离子的吸附效果。分别研究了在不同温度、时间、溶液pH值和初始钒浓度的条件下,13X分子筛对钒离子的吸附量,结果表明：酸性条件更利于13X分子筛对钒的吸附,溶液pH≥5时吸附量趋于0;随着反应温度的升高,13X分子筛对钒离子的吸附量逐渐增加;13X分子筛对钒离子的吸附符合Langmuir模型和拟二级动力学模型。13X分子筛对钒离子具有一定的吸附效果,在一定的处理工艺条件下,可作为水体钒污染的修复材料。但针对不同来源废水的特点,需对分子筛进行改性并进一步优化修复工艺条件以实际应用。     

Combined effects of nitrogen addition and organic matter manipulation on soil respiration in a Chinese pine forest

The response of soil respiration (Rs) to nitrogen (N) addition is one of the uncertainties in modelling ecosystem carbon (C). We reported on a long-term nitrogen (N) addition experiment using urea (CO(NH₂)₂) fertilizer in which Rs was continuously measured after N addition during the growing season in a Chinese pine forest. Four levels of N addition, i.e. no added N (N0: 0 g N m⁻² year⁻¹), low-N (N1: 5 g N m⁻² year⁻¹), medium-N (N2: 10 g N m⁻² year⁻¹), and high-N (N3: 15 g N m⁻² year⁻¹), and three organic matter treatments, i.e. both aboveground litter and belowground root removal (LRE), only aboveground litter removal (LE), and intact soil (CK), were examined. The Rs was measured continuously for 3 days following each N addition application and was measured approximately 3–5 times during the rest of each month from July to October 2012. N addition inhibited microbial heterotrophic respiration by suppressing soil microbial biomass, but stimulated root respiration and CO₂ release from litter decomposition by increasing either root biomass or microbial biomass. When litter and/or root were removed, the “priming” effect of N addition on the Rs disappeared more quickly than intact soil. This is likely to provide a point of view for why Rs varies so much in response to exogenous N and also has implications for future determination of sampling interval of Rs measurement.
