高晶度Mn-Fe LDH催化剂活化过一硫酸盐降解偶氮染料RBK5

采用改进的共沉淀结合水热法制备高晶度锰铁层状双金属氢氧化物作为催化剂,用于高效活化过一硫酸盐(PMS)降解活性黑5(RBK5).通过X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线能谱分析(EDS)、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)以及X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对材料进行表征,证明成功合成了结晶度高、层状结构突出的Mn-Fe LDH.同时探究了锰铁量比,催化剂投加量,PMS浓度和初始pH值等因素对RBK5的吸附效果、催化降解及反应动力学的影响.结果表明,高晶度Mn-Fe LDH催化剂具有良好的吸附能力和高效的催化效率,在n(Mn)/n(Fe)比为1∶1,催化剂投加量为0.2 g·L~(-1),PMS浓度为1 mmol·L~(-1),初始pH为7时,RBK5(20 mg·L~(-1))在90 min内降解率可达86%,整个反应过程符合拟一级动力学(R~20.9).自由基猝灭实验表明,Mn-Fe LDH/PMS体系降解RBK5为SO~-_4·和·OH两种活性自由基共同作用的结果.反应前后催化剂的XPS分析表明Mn和Fe存在协同作用,Mn-Fe LDH的Mn(Ⅱ)和Fe(Ⅲ)与层间的CO~(2-)_3电荷平衡,使其层状结构稳定,从而促进了层状表面Mn和Fe的协同作用,提高了Mn-Fe LDH对PMS的活化效率.三维荧光光谱(3D-EEM)和UV-Vis扫描光谱分析初步探讨了RBK5的降解过程.     

生物膜法光发酵制氢的研究现状与展望

21世纪被誉为氢能世纪.光发酵制氢作为绿色可持续生物制氢方式的一种,可以利用独特的光合系统固定太阳能,并利用有机物产生清洁能源氢气,因而受到广泛关注.但光发酵细菌凝集力差、底物转化效率和光能利用率低导致产氢效能下降,从而阻碍了光发酵制氢的发展.光发酵细菌可以通过形成生物膜而被有效固定,进而增加反应器内光发酵细菌的生物持有量,提高光发酵细菌对不利环境的抵抗力;同时,光发酵细菌形成生物膜后可以调控产氢细菌新陈代谢和生理活性使其更利于产氢.其中,光发酵生物膜反应器的设计尤为重要,尤其是反应器内光源的均匀分配对于光发酵制氢是一项关键因素,需要对光源设计、空间摆放和遮光性进行综合分析和设计;其次,需要考虑载体性质和载体安装以充分吸附光发酵细菌并形成生物膜;同时,结合未来可持续绿色发展的需求,光发酵生物膜反应器设计需要逐步过渡到以室外环境作为常规环境和太阳作为光源.尽管光发酵生物膜制氢前景良好,但目前对于光发酵生物膜反应器和制氢机制的研究仍然不够充分,需要更加深入地探索和优化以突破光发酵制氢的瓶颈,推动氢能行业的发展.

为了实现污水处理的深度脱氮除磷及蛋白质源污泥增量,分别采用生物吸附/A~2O和生物吸附/MBR/硫铁自养反硝化工艺进行对比试验研究.结果表明,生物吸附工艺可以快速富集进水中的大部分有机物,剩余污泥采用厌氧发酵方式处理,用于生产优质碳源.两套污水处理工艺均获得了优质水质,出水氨氮、总氮和总磷分别达到5、7和0.4 mg·L~(-1)以下.优质碳源投加到A~2O和MBR工艺段,碳源环境的改善使得污泥增长率和氮的同化比例显著提高,第4阶段污泥产率分别达到0.59和0.49 g·g~(-1)(以每g COD产VSS量(g)计),氮的同化率分别达到66%和59%.此外,污泥中蛋白质及氨基酸含量也显著增长,A~2O工艺段增长率分别为34.7%和31.2%,MBR工艺段相应的增长率分别为19.7%和18.3%,实现了蛋白质源污泥的增量,为污泥资源化利用提供了优质原料.     

Application of real option analysis for planning under climate change uncertainty: a case study for evaluation of flood mitigation plans in Korea

With concerns regarding global climate change increasing, recent studies on adapting to nonstationary climate change recommended a different planning strategy that could spread risks. Uncertainty in global climate change should be considered in any decision-making processes for flood mitigation strategies, especially in areas within a monsoon climate regime. This study applied a novel planning method called real option analysis (ROA) to an important water resources planning practice in Korea. The proposed method can easily be applied to other watersheds that are threatened by flood risk under climate change. ROA offers flexibility for decision-makers to reflect uncertainty at every stage during the project planning period. We successfully implemented ROA using a binomial tree model, including two real options—delay and abandon—to evaluate flood mitigation alternatives for the Yeongsan River Basin in Korea. The priority ranking of the four alternatives between the traditional discount cash flow (DCF) and ROA remained the same; however, two alternatives that were assessed as economically infeasible using DCF, were economically feasible using ROA. The binomial decision trees generated in this study are expected to be informative for decision-makers to conceptualize their adaptive planning procedure.     

典型燃煤电厂废SCR催化剂解析及环境管理思考

目的提出废烟气脱硝催化剂成分解析、产生量预测及处理处置的对策。方法用ICP方法对烟气选择性催化还原脱硝过程中产生的大量废SCR催化剂化学成分等进行分析。采用数学模型对废SCR产生量进行估算,并在此基础上给出将废SCR催化剂列入危废名单的原因。结果在燃煤电厂装机容量的基础上进行理论推算,我国将从2017年开始大量产生SCR催化剂固体废弃物,并会逐年增加,在2020年以后逐步稳定在25×104~30×104 m3/a。废SCR催化剂中Ti的含量最高,约占23.3%~46.2%。W,V,Mo,Ba是SCR催化剂中的活性组分,并且不同SCR催化剂中活性组分的含量并不相同。钒的含量对废SCR催化剂的潜在判定影响较大。SCR催化剂可能会吸附砷、汞、镉等重金属以及各种飞灰成分等物质,从而增加了废SCR催化剂的化学成分。依据《国家危险废物名录》第二条的相关规定,鉴于废烟气脱硝催化剂不排除具有危险特性,且不处理或处理不当可能对环境或者人体健康造成有害影响。基于此,本研究团队将烟气脱硝过程中产生的废钒钛系催化剂建议纳入危险废物统一管理。结论废SCR催化剂是我国近期出现并将长期存在的一种脱硝危废,尚缺乏符合国情的处理处置经验。为了建设"天蓝、地绿、水清"的美丽中国,需要继续探索可行的废SCR催化剂的监督和管理措施,完善各项标准和法规,最终实现对废SCR催化剂进行有效的监管。     

腐殖酸影响剩余污泥厌氧消化过程实验研究

以实验室培养、几乎不含腐殖质和金属离子的剩余污泥作为研究对象,选择与市政污泥中腐殖酸特征相近的市售腐殖酸为外加填充物,实验研究污泥中所含腐殖质对污泥厌氧消化过程的抑制作用.通过设置腐殖酸不同投加比例(0、5%、10%、15%和20%,以VSS计),探究腐殖酸对厌氧消化不同过程的影响.实验结果表明,腐殖酸抑制厌氧消化生物气产气量.填加15%腐殖酸时对厌氧消化产气量抑制作用最为明显,较未添加腐殖酸对照组产气量下降了35%;但并未对生物气中CH_4体积比产生太大影响,说明抑制影响是对生物气整体性的.腐殖酸亦可抑制厌氧水解过程,投加20%腐殖酸实验组实验结束时残留于上清液中的溶解性多糖、蛋白质浓度分别是对照组的2.2和1.6倍.然而,腐殖酸作为外源电子受体,可以在一定程度上促进酸化过程,其程度在填加20%腐殖酸实验组表现最高,较对照组VFAs提高了11.3%.腐殖酸投加未对系统pH产生明显影响,各实验组pH值均在7.09~7.54间变化.     

Effect of sulfur source on photocatalytic degradation performance of CdS/MoS2 prepared with one-step hydrothermal synthesis

Cd S/Mo S_2,an extremely efficient photocatalyst,has been extensively used in hydrogen photoproduction and pollutant degradation.Cd S/Mo S_2can be synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal process.However,the effect of the sulfur source on the synthesis of Cd S/Mo S_2via one-step hydrothermal methods has seldom been investigated.We report herein a series of one-step hydrothermal preparations of Cd S/Mo S_2using three different sulfur sources:thioacetamide,L-cysteine,and thiourea.The results revealed that the sulfur source strongly affected the crystallization,morphology,elemental composition and ultraviolet(UV)–visible-light-absorption ability of the Cd S/Mo S_2.Among the investigated sulfur sources,thioacetamide provided the highest visible-light absorption ability for Cd S/Mo S_2,with the smallest average particle size and largest surface area,resulting in the highest efficiency in Methylene Blue(MB)degradation.The photocatalytic activity of Cd S/Mo S_2synthesized from the three sulfur sources can be arranged in the following order:thioacetamideL-cysteinethiourea.The reaction rate constants(k)for thioacetamide,L-cysteine,and thiourea were estimated to be 0.0197,0.0140,and 0.0084 min~(-1),respectively.However,thioacetamide may be limited in practical application in terms of its price and toxicity,while L-cysteine is relatively economical,less toxic and exhibited good photocatalytic degradation performance toward MB.     

Effects of Asian dust events on atmospheric bacterial communities at different distances downwind of the source region

Aeolian dust particles arising from arid and semiarid zones are known to carry microbes by air currents. The effect of wind-borne bacteria on atmospheric bacterial population at various downwind distances from the dust source regions must be clarified, but has not yet been reported. This study monitored the bacterial abundance and community composition in outdoor aerosol samples in Beijing, China, which is close to the Asian dust source regions, and compared them with the results obtained in a distant region(Osaka, Japan).The Asian dust collected in Beijing contained(4 ± 3) × 10~4 bacterial cells/m~3, approximately~4 times higher than in Osaka. On 15 April 2015, Beijing experienced severe Asian dust events with a 1000-fold increase in bacterial abundance, relative to non-Asian dust days. Dominant bacterial phyla and classes in Asian dust collected in Beijing were Actinobacteria, Bacilli and Acidobacteria, and the bacterial community composition varied more widely than in Osaka.The bacterial community compositions differed between the Beijing and Osaka dusts, even for the same Asian dust events. These results indicated that aerosol bacterial communities nearer the dust source are more affected by eolian dust than their distant counterparts.     

“I feel your pain”: A critical review of organizational research on empathy

Empathy, a multidimensional construct comprised of cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions, has been advanced as a critical predictor of prosocial behavior and effectiveness in the workplace. However, despite organizational interest in empathy, there is a lack of consensus on what empathy is, how empathy should be measured, and how empathy research can meaningfully contribute to our understanding of organizational behavior. This paper aims to provide a roadmap for researchers and practitioners interested in empathy in the workplace. We first provide an updated overview of the state of the broader multidisciplinary literature on empathy. On the basis of this literature, we outline the three dimensions of empathy, discuss the distinctions between state/trait and observer/judged empathy, and compare empathy with related constructs. This integrated multidimensional conceptualization provides the basis for our critical review and recommendations. We review the organizational research on empathy (1983–2018), identifying critical issues with how empathy has been conceptualized, measured, and designed, and offer practical recommendations for the advancement of organizational research on empathy. We conclude by highlighting two fundamental questions: (a) is empathy associated with important outcomes of interest to organizations and employees, and (b) can empathy be changed, and if so, how?
