针对重庆市2005年3～9月的半年时间里,仅嘉陵江主城流域内即出现四起重大油污染事故的现象,开展了对重庆市各类废润滑油年均产生量及处理现状的跟踪调研,结果表明:重庆市废润滑油的不当处理,在造成约5.5万t/a宝贵资源大量浪费的同时,还形成了对长江水系的严重污染。为推动重庆市经济的可持续发展和有效的保护环境,对目前在废油处理中存在的问题,进行了深层次原因的分析,并提出解决这些问题的有效措施:完善废油回收处理机制及体系,统一建立一个年处理能力在10万t以上的废油专业再生厂,通过废油再生的产业化实现对资源的最大化利用和对环境污染的最小化。     

盐渍土环境中RC桥墩柱地震损伤试验研究与计算分析∗

为了研究盐渍土环境中RC桥墩柱的地震损伤,设计制作了10根RC桥墩柱,对其进行了电化学快速锈蚀试验及低周反复加载试验。试验中的主要设计参数为轴压比和锈蚀率。观察和记录了试件的开裂过程及破坏形态,通过实测数据绘制了构件的荷载—位移滞回曲线。在已有基础上提出了锈蚀RC桥墩柱在低周反复荷载作用下的双参数损伤模型,并对其进行了对比分析。试验结果表明:锈蚀率越大,滞回曲线捏缩现象越明显,滞回环面积逐渐减小,峰值荷载和极限位移也逐渐减小,试件耗能能力和延性明显降低,其损伤越来越严重;轴压比越大时,试件极限变形越差,耗能能力越低,其损伤越严重。通过与Mccabe损伤模型及Park-Ang损伤模型进行比较分析,得知该损伤模型更能准确反应构件的实际破坏程度,可为盐渍土环境中RC构件的损伤评估提供参考依据。     

Rapid detection of toxic metals in non-crushed oyster shells by portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

The aim of this study was the multi-elemental detection of toxic metals such as lead (Pb) in non-crushed oyster shells by using a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. A rapid, simultaneous multi-element analytical methodology for non-crushed oyster shells has been developed using a portable XRF which provides a quick, quantitative, non-destructive, and cost-effective mean for assessment of oyster shell contamination from Pb. Pb contamination in oyster shells was further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The results indicated that Pb is distributed in-homogeneously in contaminated shells. Oyster shells have a lamellar structure that could contribute to the high accumulation of Pb on oyster shells.     

区域水环境系统脆弱性指标体系及综合决策模型研究

目前水环境系统脆弱性研究主要局限于水环境系统的单方面脆弱性研究,过于片面化,需要综合考虑水资源、水环境质量、旱涝灾害、社会经济以及生态环境等方面的脆弱性。根据水环境系统脆弱性是系统状态受到系统压力引起的敏感性以及系统状态对系统压力的适应性响应的观点,采用“压力-状态-响应”模式构建区域水环境系统脆弱性指标体系。区域水环境系统脆弱性研究中客观存在诸多不确定性,利用联系数描述上述不确定性过程中差异度系数在［-1,1］上取值仍存在不确定性,为此,构造三角模糊数刻画差异度系数取值的不确定性,给出三角模糊联系数的基本形式,取置信水平得出置信区间联系数,采用期望-方差排序法对置信区间联系数进行决策分析,建立基于三角模糊联系数的系统综合决策模型。此模型用于安徽省水环境系统脆弱性评价的结果表明,安徽省区域水环境系统脆弱等级介于［2.731 3.620］之间,脆弱性状况不容乐观,应采取相应措施改善区域水环境质量,降低区域水环境系统脆弱性,保障区域社会经济及生态环境的可持续发展     

Distribution features of biological hazardous pollutants in residential environments in Korea

This research has been conducted continuously since 2009 as part of a cohort of studies examining relationships between asthma and genetic factors, dietary habits, and environmental factors. Based on data from environmental research on house dust mites and endotoxins, which are widely known as pollutants in bedding that cause asthma in pregnant women and children, this work was conducted to obtain basic data that can be used in future cohort studies that analyze links between distribution of biological hazards and physical features of residential environments. The detection rates of house dust mite allergens, Der p1 and Der f1, were 52.7 and 86.5 %, respectively, indicating that Der f1 is a dominant species in domestic indoor environments. According to comparisons between concentrations of house dust mites and endotoxins in bedding of pregnant women and children, Der p1 and endotoxins showed significantly lower concentrations in bedding of pregnant women compared with those in bedding of children, whereas Der f1 showed no significant difference in concentration according to bedding.     

A Model for Pulse Jet Fabric Filters

ABSTRACT

A new model for pulse jet fabric filtration is proposed. In contrast to the earlier model of Ravin and Humphries,¹ which was formulated on the steady state assumption, the present study is aimed at developing a predictive capability for both transient and steady state operations, taking into account the compression effect of filter cakes. The model's relative simplicity allows frequent updating of the model parameter values, thus improving the accuracy of predictions. As a result, the model is particularly useful in developing control algorithms and designing controllers of pulse jet fabric filtration systems.     

Trade-offs between elimination and detoxification in rainbow trout and common bivalve molluscs exposed to metal stressors

The purpose of this paper was to examine trade-offs between elimination and detoxification in rainbow trout and three common bivalve molluscs (clam, oyster, and scallop) exposed to cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) based on recent reported experimental data. We incorporated metal influx threshold with subcellular partitioning to estimate rate constants of detoxification (k_d) and elimination (k₂). We found that the relationships between k₂ and k_d were negative for rainbow trout and positive for bivalve molluscs. However, the relationships between k_d and % metal in metabolically detoxified pool were found positive for rainbow trout and negative for bivalve molluscs. Our results also indicated that rainbow trout had higher accumulation (∼60-90%) in metabolically active pool when exposed to essential metals of Cu and Zn and had only 10-50% accumulation in response to non-essential metal of Cd. Based on a cluster analysis, this study indicated that similarity of physiological regulations among study species was found between Cd and Zn. Our study suggested that detoxification can be predicted by an elimination-detoxification scheme with the known elimination rate constant. We concluded that quantification of trade-offs between subcellular partitioning and detoxification provides valuable insights into the ecotoxicology of aquatic organisms and enhances our understanding of the subcellular biology of trace metals.     

湿式空气氧化法处理TNT红水的影响因素

使用湿式空气氧化技术与生物技术联合处理TNT精制阶段所产生的红水,研究了湿式空气氧化过程中反应温度、反应时间、初始压强和pH值对流出物的COD值与流出物可生化性的影响规律。研究结果表明,随着反应温度和反应初始压强的升高、反应时间的延长、催化剂投加量的增加和反应pH值的降低,出水COD值均有所下降。在温度为300℃、初始压强为14MPa、反应时间为2h、pH值为5,3、铁盐催化剂添加量为2g的条件下,出水COD值为498mg／L,COD去除率可达到99．27％。在温度为300℃、初始压强为11MPa、反应时间为1h、pH值为3、添加1g铁盐催化剂的条件下：反应流出物的BOD5／COD值为0．301,此时可生化性已经得到很好改善。通过生物方法对反应流出物后续处理发现,湿式空气氧化技术处理TNT红水在反应温度300℃以上,反应流出物均可生物降解。     

Spatial distribution and ecological risk assessment of sediment metals in a highly industrialized coastal zone southwestern Taiwan

Spatial variations of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the surface sediments from 34 stations of the Kaohsiung coastal zone southwestern Taiwan were studied to address the current pollution status, sediment quality, and potential ecological risk. The study revealed that the concentrations of sediment metals in Kaohsiung Harbor were alarmingly high compared to the other region of Kaohsiung coast. The concentrations of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the harbor sediments were as high as 351, 247, 1.93, 61.8, 60.9, and 940 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. The current situation of metal pollution was assessed by different pollution indices and results showed moderate to severe enrichment of Cu, Hg, and Zn in the harbor sediments. According to the degree of contamination, pollution load index, and contamination severity index, the sediments from the inner Kaohsiung Harbor show high degree and high severity of metal contamination, while the rest of Kaohsiung coastal areas show uncontaminated or low-level pollution. Results of mean ERM quotient and potential ecological risk index also indicated that the harbor sediments posed a 49% probability of biological toxicity and very high ecological risk. The toxic units indicated that the negative biological effects of the six metals in the harbor sediments were Zn > Cu > Cr > Ni > Hg > Pb. In contrast to Kaohsiung Harbor as a trap where considerable amount of anthropogenic metal loadings accumulated in sediments, low metal concentrations were observed in most Kaohsiung coastal sediments. It probably resulted from the limited fine-grained sediment deposition. In the wave-dominated Kaohsiung coastal zone, fine-grained sediments associated with polluted metals tend to be easily resuspended and transported offshore via waves and wave-induced currents. The results of this study can provide valuable information for river and coastal zone management.
