Estimating runoff phosphorus losses from calcareous soils in the Minnesota River basin

Bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) in stormwater runoff is a key issue for control of eutrophication in agriculturally impacted watersheds. Laboratory experiments were conducted in soil runoff boxes to determine BAP content in simulated storm runoff in 10 (mostly) calcareous soils from the Minnesota River basin in southern Minnesota. The soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) portion of the runoff BAP was significantly correlated with soil Mehlich-III P, Olsen P, and water-extractable P (all r2 > 0.90 and p < 0.001). A linear relationship (r2 = 0.88, p < 0.001) also was obtained between SRP in runoff and the phosphorus saturation index based on sorptivity (PSIs) calculated with sorptivity as a measure of the inherent soil P sorption capacity. Runoff levels of BAP estimated with iron oxide-impregnated paper were predicted well by various soil test P methods and the PSI, of the soils, but correlation coefficients between these variables and runoff BAP were generally lower than those for runoff SRP. Using these relationships and critical BAP levels for stream eutrophication, we found corresponding critical levels of soil Mehlich-III P and Olsen P (which should not be exceeded) to be 65 to 85 and 40 to 55 mg kg(-1), respectively.     

Combined amendment reduces soil Cd availability and rice Cd accumulation in three consecutive rice planting seasons

The scientific application of stabilized materials has been considered an effective method for the in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil. This study aimed to investigate the persistence of the effect of a combined amendment of limestone and sepiolite(LS) on soil Cd availability and accumulation in rice grown in a mildly Cd-contaminated paddy field(0.45 mg/kg of Cd) over three consecutive rice seasons. 1125–4500 kg/ha of LS was applied to the soil before the first rice planting season and 5...     

三峡库区填埋场和焚烧厂渗滤液水质季节性差异

分析了重庆长生桥垃圾填埋场和同兴焚烧厂渗滤液在常规水质和溶解性有机质组成结构方面的季节性差异. 结果表明,填埋场渗滤液在夏季的ρ(COD_Cr), ρ(TOC), ρ(BOD₅),ρ(BOD₅)/ρ(COD_Cr)和ρ(VFA)均高于其他季节,相应指标在冬季最低,但ρ(NH₃-N)和 pH的季节性差异不明显. 填埋场渗滤液中DOM组成结构的季节性差异较大,表现在冬季渗滤液中HA所占比例最高,为16.1%,而春、夏季分别为6.6%和8.1%;冬季渗滤液中HyI所占比例最低,为32.7%,其他季节为41.9%～43.5%;ρ(FA)的季节性差异相对较小. 填埋场中ρ(FA)/ρ(HA)的季节性差异较大,夏季较高,冬季较小. 焚烧厂渗滤液的常规水质,DOM的构成及ρ(FA)/ρ(HA)的季节性差异均很小.      

Investigation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the mantle of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinctada </Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">fucata</Emphasis> (Bivalve,Mollusca)

The mantle of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata was adopted for the proliferation profile study in our work and a proliferation hot spot was found in the outer epithelia of mantle central zone using the BrdU immunohistochemistry method. This result contradicts the previous research that the mantle has numerous growth centers all over the mantle epithelium, with the same proliferation activity throughout the whole mantle outer epithelial cells. This is the first report on the different proliferation features on the whole mantle where Alcian Blue/PAS staining analysis and ultrastructural observation with the aid of transmission electron microscope (TEM) demonstrated distinct features of the epithelium in four different regions of the mantle. Results from the present investigation displayed that in the outer epithelium of the marginal zone in mantle outer fold, organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) were well-developed and double membrane bounded vesicles were present; in the outer epithelia of mantle central zone, stem-like cells with a high ratio of nucleus to cytoplasm and comparatively undeveloped organelles were detected. Together with the observations of the cell proliferation profile of different regions of the mantle, a hypothetic model for the proliferation and differentiation of the pearl oyster’s mantle is proposed: there exists a proliferation “hot spot” in the outer epithelial cells of central zone and the proliferation ability decreases progressively from this “hot spot” towards the marginal zone; the whole mantle’s differentiation occurs continuously with its growth and the direction is from the proliferation ‘hot spot’ (central zone) towards the marginal zone. Furthermore, another interesting result was found when the proliferation rate was investigated together with the tidal rhythm: the proliferation activity was found to be closely correlated with the tidal rhythm, indicating that the mantle outer epithelia’s proliferation rhythm might be the impetus of the shell’s daily growth bands.     

SO2-4/TiO2表面的酸性对其光催化性能的影响

采用Na2CO3溶液将SO2-4/TiO2表面的SO2-4洗脱下来,用热重(TG)、NH3程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)和吡啶吸附的红外光谱等手段,分析洗脱前后SO2-4/TiO2表面的酸量和酸类型的变化;在相同晶型、结晶度和吸光特性条件下,考察了SO2-4/TiO2表面的酸性对Cr(Ⅵ)光催化还原效率的影响.结果表明:SO2-4/TiO2表面同时存在Lewis酸位和Bronsted酸位,通过Na2CO3溶液降低SO2-4/TiO2表面的酸量并去除Bronsted酸位后,其对Cr(Ⅵ)的光催化活性显著降低.

城市空气悬浮颗粒物的理化性质及其健康效应

城市空气悬浮颗粒物的理化性质是其他相关研究的理论基础,目前的研究主要集中在分析空气颗粒物的成分组成、来源解析上.空气悬浮颗粒物主要由金属元素、有机化学成分和无机盐类等组成,城市交通、工业等各种源的排放是其主要来源,按照粒径大小不同一般可将其分为总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)、可吸入颗粒物(PM10)、细颗粒物(PM2.5)等.空气悬浮颗粒物达到一定浓度后,会对环境和人体产生一定的危害,而且颗粒物粒径大小不同,来源和成分组成就有别,其产生的危害程度也不一样.文章从粒径大小、来源、成份以及三者间的相互关系等几个方面详细阐述了城市空气悬浮颗粒物的理化性质,并从其对人体、其他动植物和环境等方面造成的影响综述了空气颗粒物的健康效应及影响因素,最后又提出了今后的研究方向和发展途径.
