鼠李糖脂对剩余污泥中铜和镍的去除

采用批次淋洗的方法研究了鼠李糖脂浓度、pH、淋洗时间、提取次数以及重金属形态对剩余污泥中Cu和Ni去除效果的影响。结果表明,随着鼠李糖脂浓度的增加,2种重金属的去除率增加,且鼠李糖脂在碱性条件下对Cu和Ni的去除效果较好,最高去除率可分别高达80.77%和46.74%;随着振荡时间和提取次数的增加,Cu和Ni的去除率随之增加,并明显高于去离子水的提取;对污泥重金属形态进行分析发现,鼠李糖脂能有效去除酸提取态的Cu和Ni。研究结论可为剩余污泥的资源化而产生重金属安全隐患问题提供解决的参考方案和奠定理论基础。     

NaOH预处理对杂交狼尾草厌氧发酵产沼气的影响

研究了Na OH预处理对杂交狼尾草厌氧消化制沼气的影响。采用质量分数分别为0%、2%、4%、6%和8%的Na OH溶液对杂交狼尾草进行碱预处理,在中温(35℃)、TS质量分数6%、接种率20%及初始p H为7.0条件下,进行厌氧发酵实验。对比了处理前后原料木质纤维素含量,探讨了不同浓度预处理对发酵过程沼气产量、甲烷浓度、p H以及产气速率的影响。结果表明,Na OH预处理有助于提高杂交狼尾草厌氧发酵的产气量和产气速率,其中4%Na OH预处理为较优条件。经4%Na OH溶液常温浸润24 h后,杂交狼尾草木质素降解率最大,比未处理实验组提高了31.2%;厌氧发酵总产气量比未处理实验组提高了31.6%。     

硫酸钛混凝去除无机砷(Ⅲ)的效能

使用硫酸钛作为混凝剂,研究了混凝去除As(Ⅲ)过程中溶液pH值、混凝剂投加量、砷的初始浓度以及阴离子对除砷效果的影响.硫酸钛的水解沉淀物颗粒等电点为pH =5;当pH =6时,水解沉淀物的粒径最大.在pH =5 ～8范围内,As(Ⅲ)的去除率高且基本稳定;而沉淀物颗粒Zeta电位降低较大.说明水解沉淀物Zeta电位对As(Ⅲ)的去除影响不大.混凝剂投加量为2.5 ～10 mg/L时,As (Ⅲ)的去除率随投加量的增加而显著增加;混凝剂投加量大于15 mg/L时,As(Ⅲ)去除率随混凝剂投加量的增加变化趋于平缓.水中阴离子(硅酸根和磷酸根离子)的存在会降低混凝对As (Ⅲ)的去除效率.     

不同泥龄MBR中溶解性微生物代谢产物对膜污染的影响

通过4套平行运行的小试膜生物反应器(membrane bioreactor,MBR)研究了不同泥龄下溶解性微生物代谢产物(soluble microbial products,SMP)对膜污染的影响.以多糖、蛋白质表征SMP的含量,并通过三维荧光光谱(EEM)、分子量分布(MW)、红外光谱(FTIR)及扫面电镜-能谱分析(SEM-EDX)技术分析了不同泥龄下SMP的变化.结果表明,各泥龄MBR对氨氮和COD均有较好的去除效果,但SMP的含量以及膜污染程度均随着泥龄的升高而降低.泥龄越低,膜阻力越大,小分子量物质(＜1 000)积累程度越大,低泥龄MBR中蛋白质以及腐殖酸类物质含量较高;扫描电镜-能谱分析(SEM-DEX)结果表明,金属元素更容易在低泥龄MBR中的膜表面堆积.     

好氧砷还原菌对吸附态砷迁移转化的影响

利用静态和动态土柱实验初步研究了好氧砷还原菌Bacillus sp.SXB在砷迁移转化过程中的作用。结果表明,在静态实验中,菌株SXB可以有效还原吸附在针铁矿上的五价砷;在动态土柱实验中,由于原土中砷是以三价砷形式存在,因此,不论是空白对照还是菌株SXB加入处理,出水中砷均为三价砷;当孔隙体积大于100时,铁的溶出开始增加。菌株SXB的加入,轻微地促进了土壤中砷的释放,而对铁的释放并没有明显影响。     

Financing Marine Protected Areas Through Visitor Fees: Insights from Tourists Willingness to Pay in Chile

Tourism is a financing mechanism considered by many donor-funded marine conservation initiatives. Here we assess the potential role of visitor entry fees, in generating the necessary revenue to manage a marine protected area (MPA), established through a Global Environmental Facility Grant, in a temperate region of Chile. We assess tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) for an entry fee associated to management and protection of the MPA. Results show 97 % of respondents were willing to pay an entrance fee. WTP predictors included the type of tourist, tourists’ sensitivity to crowding, education, and understanding of ecological benefits of the MPA. Nature-based tourists state median WTP values of US$ 4.38 and Sun-sea-sand tourists US$ 3.77. Overall, entry fees could account for 10–13 % of MPA running costs. In Chile, where funding for conservation runs among the weakest in the world, visitor entry fees are no panacea in the short term and other mechanisms, including direct state/government support, should be considered.     

Dynamics of aeolian desertification and its driving forces in the Horqin Sandy Land,Northern China

Aeolian desertification is one of the most serious environmental and socioeconomic problems in arid, semi-arid, and dry subhumid zones. Understanding desertification processes and causes is important to provide reasonable and effective control measures for preventing desertification. With satellite remote sensing images as data source to assess the temporal and spatial dynamics of desertification from 1975 to 2010 in the Horqin Sandy Land, dynamic changes of aeolian desertification were detected using the human–machine interactive interpretation method. The driving factors of local desertification were analyzed based on natural and socioeconomic data. The results show that aeolian desertified land in the study area covered 30,199 km² in 2010, accounting for 24.1 % of the study area. The total area of aeolian desertified land obviously expanded from 30,884 km² in 1975 to 32,071 km² in 1990, and gradually decreased to 30,199 km² in 2010; aeolian desertified land represented an increasing trend firstly and then decreased. During the past 35 years, the gravity centers of desertified lands that are classified as extremely severe and severe generally migrated to the northeast, whereas those that are moderate and slight migrated to the northwest. The migration distance of severely desertified land was the largest, which indicated the southern desertified lands were improved during the last few decades. In addition, the climatic variation in the past 35 years has been favorable to desertification in the Horqin Sandy Land. Aeolian desertified land rapidly expanded from 1975 to 1990 under the combined effects of climate changes and unreasonable human activities. After the 1990s, the main driving factors responsible for the decrease in desertification were positive human activities, such as the series of antidesertification and ecological restoration projects.
