Impact of demographic dynamics on CO_2 emissions in Sichuan,China

Global climate change is one of the major environmental issues faced by humans.Existing evidence indicates that the anthropogenic push for a rise in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases(GHGs)(particularly CO_2)has been a primary cause for global warming.Aside from economic and teclinological factors,demographic dynamics(including human consumption in a broad demographic sense)has been a major driver for CO_2 emissions.In this paper,we performed both nonlinear regression analysis(based on the STIRPAT model)and gray correlation degree analysis(based on gray system theory)on the impact of demographic dynamics on CO_2 emissions.Our results reveal that CO_2 emissions are positively correlated with population size and GDP per capita and negatively correlated with energy intensity.We also show that gray correlation degree with CO_2 emissions for five variables(i.e.,household consumption,urbanization rate,household size,population aging rate,population size)varies substantially:household consumptionurbanization ratehousehold sizepopulation aging ratepopulation size,with household consumption being the highest,and population size the lowest.To mitigate the impact of demographic dynamics on CO_2 emissions,it is of vital significance to nurture people's awareness of sustainable consumption and to adhere to current population control policies.     

Development and performance of the vehicle-mounted radiation monitoring equipment used in the Maralinga rehabilitation project

The rehabilitation of the former nuclear test site at Maralinga involved (among other processes) the removal of contaminated soil from an area of approximately 2.5 km2. The two most stringent rehabilitation criteria required measurements to ensure that no radioactive particle exceeding 100 kBq of 241Am activity, and no area of 1 ha exceeding 3 kBq/m2 of 241Am activity, remained in the rehabilitated area. The project timetable required that the area be scanned at the rate of approximately 3 ha/day. Two vehicle-mounted detection systems were developed and constructed to obtain the necessary measurements in the available timeframe. The scientific basis for the designs are presented, together with details of the selected equipment and technical solutions found. The performance of this equipment in the field is discussed in terms of both its scientific and technical operation. Based on the experience gained at Maralinga, improved versions of this equipment were produced under contract for the People's Republic of China.

苏南典型河段磷的分布及释放特性研究

通过测定常州典型河段河水和底泥中的磷含量,同时分析了磷在不同底泥颗粒中含量分布的变化,阐述了河流中磷的分布和转移趋势。结果表明:河水中的磷含量通常低于底泥间隙水中的磷含量,但当河流发生富营养化后,底泥中的磷大量向上层水体释放,使得河水中的磷含量不断增加。底泥有效磷与总磷含量之间没有明显相关性,而与底泥间隙水的磷含量之间存在着交换平衡。底泥颗粒以2μm~50μm的粒级为主,即以细砂和粉砂质有机-无机聚合体矿物颗粒为主。磷在底泥颗粒中的含量随着底泥粒径的增大而减少,且粒径越大的颗粒对磷的吸附能力越弱,其中的磷向外释放的可能性越大。

絮凝-电解氧化联合处理氰化提金废水

采用絮凝-电解氧化联合技术处理氰化废水,主要研究了聚硅酸铝铁 (PSAF) 添加量、絮凝时间、pH、电压、电解时间、极板间距对总氰(CN_T)、游离氰(CN⁻)、Cu、Zn离子去除率的影响,并对其反应机制做了分析。研究表明,当PSAF添加量为2 g·L⁻¹,絮凝时间为30 min,pH为9条件下,CN_T、CN⁻、Zn、Cu离子的去除率分别可达42.97%、100%、84.40%、34.88%。Zn(CN)₄²⁻、Cu(CN)₃²⁻、CN⁻的吸附量分别为567.88、89.76、439.74 mg·L⁻¹。以钛板为阴极,石墨板为阳极,采用一阴两阳体系对絮凝后液进行电解氧化实验,在电压为3 V、电解时间为2 h、极板间距为10 mm条件下,CN_T、CN⁻、Zn、Cu离子的去除率可达91.70%、100%、99.15%、94.49%。絮凝过程中Zn(CN)₄²⁻、Cu(CN)₃²⁻、CN⁻的去除是由电荷中和和化学吸附共同作用的,其中电荷中和起主要作用。Zn(CN)₄²⁻、Cu(CN)₃²⁻、CN^-的化学吸附主要归因于其与PSAF水解产生的羟基阳离子发生交换反应。XRD分析表明,加入酸性絮凝剂PSAF的瞬间,部分Zn(CN)₄^2-反应为Zn(CN)₂沉淀。电解氧化过程中Zn(CN)₄²⁻、Cu(CN)₃²⁻破络释放的氰根会被阳极表面产生的O₂、·OH完全氧化为N₂和CO₂,Zn、Cu离子在阴极板电沉积而被去除。     

改性HDPE填料的制备及对MBBR脱氮除磷效果的强化

为解决传统填料亲水性差、挂膜速度慢等问题,对高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)填料进行亲水改性并改善填料的挂膜性能及在移动床生物膜反应器(MBBR)中的应用效果,用浸涂的方式将纳米SiO₂、聚乙烯醇(PVA)、聚多巴胺(PDA)等材料涂覆在HDPE填料表面,对改性后填料进行接触角、SEM、FT-IR和XPS表征以及MBBR挂膜启动实验,研究化学需氧量(COD)、氨氮(NH₃-N)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)的去除效果以及对填料挂膜时间、生物膜量、蛋白质和多糖含量的影响。结果表明：改性后,填料接触角由94.82°降至 60.1°,填料亲水性明显增强;填料表面出现褶皱,粗糙度增加;上述材料成功负载在填料表面并引入了亲水基团且未改变填料基本结构;填料挂膜时间由25 d提前至16 d,挂膜时间提前了9 d,COD、NH₃-N、TN、TP去除率分别达到94.9%、95.4%、83.5%、71.6%,与改性前比分别提高了9.3%、6.7%、13.7%、11.5%;填料的生物膜量是改性前的1.57倍,从27.35 mg·g⁻¹提高到42.87 mg·g⁻¹,其中蛋白质和多糖的含量分别从改性前的6.48 mg·g⁻¹和3.38 mg·g⁻¹提高到8.83 mg·g⁻¹和5.82 mg·g⁻¹,分别为改性前的1.36倍和1.72倍。由此可以看出,表面涂覆可以提高HDPE填料的亲水性,改性后的HDPE填料可以缩短在MBBR中的挂膜时间及强化对COD、NH₃-N、TN、TP的去除效果。本研究结果可为HDPE填料亲水改性的深入研究及在MBBR中的实际应用提供参考。
