二氧化锰氧化降解双酚A的动力学

以室内实验方法,在25℃室温下,以二氧化锰为氧化剂,研究了pH4.12的水溶液中双酚A降解的反应动力学,并讨论了反应溶液的pH对反应动力学的影响.动力学研究采用了批处理实验方法和螺旋盖反应瓶.振荡器反应体系.结果表明,在无二氧化锰的条件下,双酚A的浓度在1周内检测没有明显的变化.在二氧化锰存在的条件下,双酚A对二氧化锰的氧化作用具有较强的反应感受性.pH一定的条件下,当二氧化锰相对过量时,在1小时之内,反应遵循准一级反应动力学,双酚A降解速率随其自身及二氧化锰浓度的增大而增大.随着反应的进行,双酚A的降解速率变慢.反应遵循的不是简单的准一级反应动力学而是复合的反应动力学.此外,随着溶液pH值由3.5升高至6.6,双酚A的降解速率显著下降.     

Dance precision of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Apis florea</Emphasis>—clues to the evolution of the honeybee dance language?

All honeybee species make use of the waggle dance to communicate the direction and distance to both food sources and potential new nest sites. When foraging, all species face an identical problem: conveying information about profitable floral patches. However, profound differences in nesting biology (some nest in cavities while others nest in the open, often on a branch or a cliff face) may mean that species have different requirements when dancing to advertise new nest sites. In cavity nesting species, nest sites are a precise location in the landscape: usually a small opening leading to a cavity in a hollow tree. Dances for cavities therefore need to be as precise as possible. In contrast, when the potential nest site comprises a tree or perhaps seven a patch of trees, precision is less necessary. Similarly, when a food patch is advertised, dances need not be very precise, as floral patches are often large, unless they are so far away that recruits need more precise information to be able to locate them. In this paper, we study the dance precision of the open-nesting red dwarf bee Apis florea. By comparing the precision of dances for food sources and nest sites, we show that A. florea workers dance with the same imprecision irrespective of context. This is in sharp contrast with the cavity-nesting Apis mellifera that increases the precision of its dance when advertising a potential new home. We suggest that our results are in accordance with the hypothesis that the honeybees’ dance communication initially evolved to convey information about new nest sites and was only later adapted for the context of foraging.

Thermogravimetric analysis and kinetic study on pyrolysis of representative medical waste composition

To obtain detailed information on the pyrolysis characteristics, a thermogravimetric study on the pyrolysis of 14 typical medical waste compositions was carried out in thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) equipment using dynamic techniques in a stream of N(2). An index representing pyrolysis reactivity of waste was presented. Kinetic parameters were obtained by Coats-Redfern method and used to model the TG curve. The results showed that: (a) Plastic, protein, cellulosic material, synthetic fibre, and rubber entered pyrolysis process in succession. (b) There was one decomposition stage in the pyrolysis of one-off medical glove, operating glove, cellulosic waste, absorbable catgut suture and adhesive plaster, while other components had two obvious weight loss stages. (c) The obtained apparent activation energy for second stage pyrolysis was comparably higher than that for first stage. (d) Each stage was controlled by only one kinetic mechanism, in which kinetic parameters were constant. (e) The degradation kinetics of medical waste may be affected by special physical and chemical treatment in the product manufacturing process. (f) Among 13 waste samples, the pyrolysis index of cellulosic matter was the highest, which indicated cellulosic matter had strong pyrolysis reactivity. (g) With increasing heating rate, TG curve and DTG peak shifted to high temperatures and main reaction interval of the sample became longer.     

电除尘器电源交流分量对PM_(2.5)等细微颗粒物除尘效率的影响

除尘器对颗粒物的除尘效率与颗粒物的荷电量密切相关,PM2.5等细小颗粒物由于其荷电量不足而导致其吸收效率较低,对环境造成危害。为了增加粒子的荷电量,以粒子荷电原理为理论依据,从离子电流密度和通过电凝并扩大尘粒中位径2个方面研究了电除尘电源中交流电压分量对PM2.5等细小颗粒物荷电特性的影响,得出了电除尘器电源中交流电压分量可从以上2个方面提高装置对PM2.5等微小颗粒物的荷电量,且频率越高,幅值越大,荷电效果越好,从而可以提高装置对细小颗粒物的除尘效率。     

防洪工程信任对公众水灾风险认知的影响初探——基于长江流域部分地区问卷调查的分析

研究影响公众自然灾害风险认知的因素,有助于寻找风险因子,为加强风险沟通与理解、制定风险管理策略提供基础依据。防洪工程作为人类抵御水灾的重要手段,具备使公众对其产生信任动机的条件,成为影响公众水灾风险认知的重要因素之一。选择位于长江流域上游的重庆、中游的九江和岳阳、下游的上海和吴江等地区进行问卷调查,通过统计分析共885份有效问卷的数据,研究了公众对于防洪工程的信任程度,及其对水灾风险认知的影响。结果显示,防洪工程明显的御灾效果改变了大多数（3／4强）民众对水灾灾害属性的认识,由此建立了工程信任;信任使得多数（80％）公众对水灾风险的评估值很小,尤其是对个人受灾的风险估计出现乐观偏差;进而产生了消极与积极并存的防灾意愿倾向,并导致实际的防灾备灾行为不足。研究还发现,工程信任、风险评估是属于社会共构的心理特性,各地公众基本持一致的观点或态度,但存在一定的区域差异;相较而言,长江中游的民众对水灾的风险感知最强,其次是上游地区的民众,下游地区民众的风险感知最弱。由于对防洪工程的信赖而降低风险意识,是公众风险认知中存在的风险因子之一。     

黄河水系氮污染特征初探

对黄河水系1960年至2000年期间氮污染监测数据的分析表明，干流河水氮污染的程度自上游至下游有升高的趋势；不少支流氮污染的程度大大高于干流。在工业不发达的农业地区，河水总氮与氨氮的最高浓度大多出现在丰水期；在工业相对发达的地区，河水氨氮与总氮的最高浓度大多出现在枯水期；有一部分站点河水总氮与氨氮浓度的年内变化无明显规则，近40年来黄河水系氮污染程度不断上升，1990s年代以后的上升趋势更为显著。

考察了白腐菌菌体、胞外酶、胞内酶对十溴联苯醚(BDE-209)的降解性能,结果表明,白腐菌菌体、胞外酶、胞内酶对浓度为1 mg.L-1的BDE-209的降解率分别为60.17%、54.14%、22.32%,白腐菌对BDE-209的降解主要由胞外酶完成.进一步考察了温度、pH、BDE-209浓度对白腐菌胞外酶降解BDE-209的影响,结果显示,胞外酶降解BDE-209的最适条件为温度30℃、pH 4—5、BDE-209浓度1 mg.L-1.白腐菌胞外酶降解BDE-209前后红外光谱测定结果证实,BDE-209降解过程与Br—C、CH2—O—CH2等基团有关.降解后体系GC-MS谱图显示,BDE-209降解过程中存在脱Br作用.     

小麦根际土壤汞的分布和形态变化

采用根际箱试验和连续化学萃取法,结合氢化物原子吸收光谱法,研究了非根际和根际土壤汞形态分布特征及小麦(Triticum aestivum)生长期土壤汞形态变化.结果表明.非根际汞形态分布顺序为:残渣态>强有机质结合态>碳酸盐铁锰氧化物结合态>腐殖酸络合态>水溶态>交换态,根际汞形态分布为:残渣态>碳酸盐铁锰氧化态>强有机质结合态>交换态>腐殖酸络合态>水溶态.当外源汞进入土壤后,在小麦生长60 d内,植物吸收使残渣态汞和水溶态汞含量明显降低,交换态汞和碳酸盐铁锰氧化态汞含量增加.土壤汞污染程度越大,在小麦中积累的汞就越多.其生物毒性增强,环境危害加大.
