FeCl3改性钢渣脱除燃煤烟气中Hg0的研究

以钢铁厂废弃钢渣为原料,以丙酮溶液为分散剂制备FeCl₃改性材料,在固定床吸附评价装置上考察了钢渣在FeCl₃改性前后对模拟烟气中Hg脱除效果的影响,并结合吸附试验与微观表征对改性催化剂的脱汞性能进行分析.结果表明:氯是FeCl₃改性钢渣吸附剂的主要活性组分,FeCl₃的掺入使钢渣的比表面积由1.06 m2/g提高到1.32 m2/g,进而提高吸附剂的汞吸附容量,经FeCl₃改性后废弃钢渣对汞的脱除效率比未改性前提升了3.2倍.SO₂的存在降低了FeCl₃改性钢渣材料的脱汞性能,持续通入的SO₂与吸附剂接触占据了部分孔道和表面活性位点,使得对单质汞的吸附效率下降,200℃时含有SO₂时的FeCl₃改性钢渣吸附剂吸附量比未通入SO₂气体的改性材料降低了75.57%;在含有HCl气体的烟气体系中,FeCl₃改性钢渣材料对汞的脱除效率从3432.70 ng/g升至10341.10 ng/g,并且随着反应温度的升高零价汞向氧化态汞转化的效率增加.研究显示,SO₂的存在降低了FeCl₃改性钢渣吸附剂的脱汞性能,而HCl气体有效地促进了FeCl₃改性钢渣吸附剂对零价汞（Hg0）的脱除.      

Stable oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanosensors for environmental biocontaminant monitoring

The global propagation of environmental biocontaminants such as antibiotic resistant pathogens and their antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) is a public health concern that highlights the need for improved monitoring strategies. Here, we demonstrate the environmental stability and applicability of an oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanosensor. The mec A ARG was targeted as model biocontaminant due to its presence in clinically-relevant pathogens and to its emergence as an environmental contaminant.mec A-specific nanosensors were tested for antibiotic resistance gene(ARG) detection in ARG-spiked effluent from four wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs). The mec A-specific nanosensors showed stability in environmental conditions and in high ionic strength([MgCl_2] 50 m M), and high selectivity against mismatched targets. Spectrophotometric detection was reproducible with an LOD of 70 pM(≈ 4 × 10~7 genes/μL), even in the presence of interferences associated with non-target genomic DNA and complex WWTP effluent. This contribution supports the environmental applicability of a new line of cost-effective, field-deployable tools needed for wide-scale biocontaminant monitoring.

热传导强化气相抽提处理苯系物污染土壤实验

以苯系物(BTEX)污染土壤为研究对象,研究加热源功率和加热时间对土壤苯系物去除率的影响;实验通过分析尾气和冷凝水的污染物浓度来判断实验的终止时间点.结果显示,在3个功率100、200 W和400 W作用下,各污染物的残留浓度较低,所需要的处理时间分别为168.5、122.5 h以及104 h,消耗的总电能分别为:0.49、0.56 KW.h.Kg-1TS以及0.81 kW.h.Kg-1TS.功率越高,土壤中BTEX去除效率越高,同时能耗也越大.实验通过分析处理前后土壤中有机质含量,发现在加热的条件下有机质会逐渐减少,功率越高,有机质去除的速率越快,越有利于污染物的去除.本文的结果可证实通过加热可有效提高土壤中苯系物的气相抽提去除效率,对现场中试的开展提供参数依据.     

赤潮及其影响

近年来在我国沿海海域多次出现赤潮，其发生原因主要有两方面：一方面是自然条件，包括气候因素、海温、盐度、海水交换等；另一方面是人为因素，包括海水养殖和海洋环境污染等。赤潮形成后，对海洋生态系统造成严重危害，甚至危及人类健康。但由于赤潮的发生目前还难以及时准确的预报，科学的治理方法仍然是以防为主，防治结合。

准好氧填埋场作业台阶温室气体CO_2的释放通量研究

采用静态箱-气相色谱法测定了河北省某准好氧填埋场作业台阶表面的温室气体CO2释放通量,分析了填埋时期和导气管距离对CO2释放通量的影响。结果表明:导气管附近区域表面的CO2释放量较大,且不同区域的CO2释放通量存在明显差异(最大值和最小值分别278.6和12.5 g/(m2.d);同一区域上午、中午和下午的CO2释放通量差异相对较小,但中午和下午高于上午。同时,填埋4、8、12和16个月区域的CO2平均释放通量分别为56.9,70.0,110.2和47.0 g/(m2.d),即CO2的释放通量随着填埋龄的增加呈现先增加后逐渐降低的趋势,并在填埋12个月达到CO2释放通量的最大值。此外,各填埋区作业台阶表面CO2释放通量随着距离导气管距离的增加呈指数函数递减的趋势。     

Strategic environmental assessment in Hong Kong

This review examines the development and application of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) process in the planning framework of Hong Kong. Two strategic planning case studies are evaluated within the context of SEA, namely the Territorial Development Strategy Review (TDS Review) and the Third Comprehensive Transport Study (CTS-3). Rapid population growth and urbanisation in Hong Kong, coupled with a historic lack of planning controls and inherent conflicts between government departments have been major obstacles to achieving sustainable development in the territory. Despite these challenges, Hong Kong was one of the first Asian countries to apply SEA to major development plans, where the implementation of the 'SUSDEV 21' study on sustainable development has demonstrated the government's commitment towards integrated environmental protection. The application of SEA has provided decision-makers with key information on potential environment impacts arising from proposed developments, resulting in greater accountability and transparency in the decision-making process. SEA in Hong Kong has also prompted an increased level of environmental awareness and co-operation between government departments and agencies responsible for the management of Hong Kong's natural and urban environments. However, the application of SEA in Hong Kong continues to have notable limitations. SEA needs to evolve beyond its current sectoral application to examine ways in which development decisions can not only pre-empt and prevent environmental damage, but also positively enhance and restore existing natural resources. Current land use plans and transportation strategies still largely determine the pattern of development in the near future without adequate longer-term environmental cost-benefit analysis. Sustainable development includes environmental, social and economic considerations, and these inter-related elements need be suitably balanced. SEA is not a means to obstruct development in Hong Kong, but should be recognised for its inherent socio-economic and ecological value, and fully integrated with the decision-making process. Whilst it is admirable that Hong Kong has taken positive steps in this direction, it is now an opportune moment for the government to have the foresight and tenacity to create a sustainable development framework for Hong Kong into the future.     

Water regime-nitrogen fertilizer incorporation interaction: Field study on methane and nitrous oxide emissions from a rice agroecosystem in Harbin, China

Water regime and nitrogen (N) fertilizer are two important factors impacting greenhouse gases (GHG) emission from paddy field, whereas their effects have not been well studied in cold region. In this study, we conducted a two-year field experiment to study the impacts of water regime and N fertilizer on rice yields and GHG emissions in Harbin, China, a cold region located in high latitudes. Our results showed that intermittent irrigation significantly decreased methane (CH₄) emission compared with continuous flooding, however, the decrement was far lower than the global average level. The N₂O emissions were very small when flooded but peaked at the beginning of the disappearance of floodwater. The N fertilizer treatments increased CH₄ emissions at low level (75kgN/ha). But both CH₄ and N₂O emissions were uninfluenced at the levels of 150kgN/ha and 225kgN/ha. Rice yields increased under intermittent irrigation and were highest at the level of 150kgN/ha. From our results, we recommended that the intermittent irrigation and 150kgN/ha as the ideal water regime-nitrogen fertilizer incorporation for this area to achieve low GHG emissions without impacting rice yields.
