Aquatic biodiversity and the electric utility industry

Results from a 1995 survey of utility company biologists indicate that aquatic biodiversity is an emerging and poorly understood issue. As a result, there is some confusion about what aquatic biodiversity actually is, and how we can best conserve it. Only one fourth (24%) of the respondents said their company has a stated environmental policy that addresses biodiversity. Many respondents indicate that over the years they have not specifically managed for biodiversity, but have been doing that through their efforts to assure balanced indigenous populations. While regulations are still the major driver for biological work, an increasing number of companies are involved in voluntary partnerships in managing water resources. Of these voluntary partnerships, 70% have biodiversity as a goal. Biodiversity is becoming an increasingly common subject of study, and a vast majority (75%) of the respondents suggested it should be a goal for utility resource management. Conservation of aquatic biodiversity is a complex task, and to date most aquatic efforts have been directed toward fish and macroinvertebrates. Ecological research and technological development performed by the utility industry have resulted in a number of successful biopreservation and biorestoration success stories. A common theme to preserving or enhancing aquatic biodiversity is preserving aquatic habitat. Increasingly, ecosystem management is touted as the most likely approach to achieve success in preserving aquatic biodiversity. Several utilities are conducting progressive work in implementing ecosystem management. This paper presents the potential interactions between power plants and biodiversity, an overview of aquatic biodiversity preservation efforts within the electric utility industry, more detail on the results of the survey, and recent initiatives in ecosystem management.     

福州盆地钻孔沉积物记录的MIS3以来海侵—海退过程

通过对福州盆地首山路ZKCS钻孔岩芯的AMS 14C及光释光(OSL)年代测试、岩性特征、黏土浑浊水电导率值和地球化学元素测定、粒度分析以及硅藻鉴定,对钻孔沉积物的沉积环境进行分析,并与ZK004钻孔结果进行对比,结合全球古气候及区域构造记录,确认首山路ZKCS钻孔记录了两次完整的海侵—海退旋回,第一次海侵结束时间约50 ka,第二次海侵发生在全新世期间.两次海侵发生的主要原因不同,第一次海侵发生在MIS3早期,对应于前人命名的"福州海侵",主要原因是区域构造下沉,加之此时古气候变暖引发海面上升;之后由于盆地内部的不均匀沉降,再次发生抬升,导致ZKCS钻孔记录的海侵较早结束、海侵层埋深较浅;全新世海侵即前人命名的"长乐海进",强度比前一期强,为冰后期全球气候变暖和海面上升共同作用的结果,其次可能还伴随着盆地的下陷.

硫毒化NH3-SCR脱硝催化剂再生方式的构建及机制研究

以CeTi复合氧化物负载NH₄HSO₄(模拟SO₂毒化催化剂)为研究对象,并向其中掺杂Mo作为改性组分,研究了硫毒化催化剂的再生过程与机制.与热再生相比,冷等离子体在再生毒化后催化剂的过程中显现出独特的优势.通过对再生后催化剂的物理化学性质表征及优化再生气氛,确认了冷等离子再生催化剂的优点：不仅能够保持催化剂物相结构的稳定,还可促进催化剂表面NH₄HSO₄的低温分解和硫物种的脱附.虽然冷等离子体再生后的催化剂NH₃-SCR反应活性下降,但可通过纯O₂气氛中焙烧的方式,实现对催化剂物理化学性质的重构和催化活性的再生.通过此研究,初步建立了催化剂“毒化-再生-重构”的基本构效关系,为硫中毒NH₃-SCR脱硝催化剂的再生提供了可行性方案.     

COD在线监测仪器比对监测采样误差分析研究

化学需氧量(COD)和悬浮物(SS)是衡量污水对外界环境的污染程度的重要指标.化学需氧量是指在强酸并加热条件下,用重铬酸钾作为氧化剂处理水样时所消耗氧化剂的量.悬浮物即"不可滤残渣"是指将水过滤后留在过滤材料上的物质.针对引起比对分析监测结果中采样环节误差的原因,从理化概念入手,分析了环境样品随沉降时间不同引起的CODcr值的变化,以及CODcr值与SS值的相关性,并提出了相应的对策.以提高COD在线监测结果的科学性、可靠性,使其更好地发挥COD在线监测仪在环境管理中的作用,为污染减排和污染物总量控制工作提供准确、科学的技术支持.
