Advances in air pollution control for vessels in China

Vessel emissions have contributed a great deal to air quality deterioration in China. Hence,the Chinese government has promulgated a series of stringent emission regulations. It is in this context that vessel emission control technology research is in full swing. In particular,during the 13th Five-Year Plan, the air pollution control technology of vessels has greatly improved. Vessel emission control has followed two main governance routes: source emission reduction and aftertreatment technology...     

Effect of operating parameters on sulfide biotransformation to sulfur

A laboratory-scale bioreactor with polyethylene semi-soft packing was constructed and utilized to determine the efficlency of sulfide biotransformation to sulfur under various operating parameters. Sodium sulfide dissolved in tap water was pumped into the bioreactor as sulfide for biological desulfurization. The sulfide, sulfur and sulfate-S in the effluent and the sulfide purged as gas-phase HzS were determined to investigate the effects of operating parameters, such as pH, DO, hydraulic retention time （HRT）, temperature and salinity, on the sulfide oxidation products. The activity of bacteria was highest at pH 7.8-8.2. The maximal sulfide removal load was 7.25 kg/（m^3·day）, with a 322.07 mg/L influent sulfide concentration and 4.80 mg/L DO. The increase of DO value corresponds to a decrease in the sulfur yield. The reactor had the highest sulfide removal load and sulfur yield at 2.55 mg/L DO. HRT had little effect on desulfurization efficiency when the sulfide removal load was kept constant. The most effective desulfurization temperature was 33℃. The sulfide removal load decreased from 2.85 to 0.51 kg/（m^3.day） with increasing salinity from 0.5% to 2.5% （m/m）.

长江口潮滩芦苇根表铁膜磁性特征及其环境意义

湿地植物根表铁膜对包括重金属在内的物质迁移转化具有重要作用,其氧化铁组成研究备受重视,但利用环境磁学方法进行表征的研究还未见报道.本文对长江口潮滩植物芦苇根系及周边沉积物进行了磁学分析,并结合沉积物粒度、漫反射光谱等测试,对芦苇根表铁膜的磁性矿物组成进行了系统研究.结果表明,芦苇根表铁膜磁性矿物主要包括磁铁矿和赤铁矿.由于沉积物不同深度氧化还原环境的不同,铁膜磁性矿物组成存在垂向差异.研究柱样24 cm深度以上,由于相对氧化的环境,铁膜磁性矿物除磁铁矿外,还有较多的赤铁矿贡献;24 cm深度以下,因根系处于相对还原的环境,磁性矿物以磁铁矿为主.与沉积物相比,24 cm以上深度铁膜中亚铁磁性矿物含量较低,24 cm深度以下则相反,反映铁膜和沉积物磁性矿物来源不同.本项研究表明,磁性测量方法有助于认识湿地植物根表铁膜的矿物组成,对湿地生物地球化学过程研究具有重要价值.     

Synchrotron micro-scale measurement of metal distributions in Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia root tissue from an urban brownfield site

Liberty State Park in New Jersey,USA,is a "brownfield" site containing various levels of contaminants.To investigate metal uptake and distributions in plants on the brownfield site,Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia were collected in Liberty State Park during the growing season(May–September)in 2011 at two sites with the high and low metal loads,respectively.The objective of this study was to understand the metal(Fe,Mn,Cu,Pb and Zn)concentration and spatial distributions in P.australis and T.latifolia root systems with micro-meter scale resolution using synchrotron X-ray microfluorescence(μXRF)and synchrotron X-ray computed microtomography(μCMT)techniques.The root structure measurement by synchrotron μCMT showed that high X-ray attenuation substance appeared in the epidermis.Synchrotron μXRF measurement showed that metal concentrations and distributions in the root cross-section between epidermis and vascular tissue were statistically different.Significant correlations were found between metals(Cu,Mn,Pb and Zn)and Fe in the epidermis,implying that metals were scavenged by Fe oxides.The results from this study suggest that the expression of metal transport and accumulation within the root systems may be element specific.The information derived from this study can improve our current knowledge of the wetland plant ecological function in brownfield remediation.     

浐河、灞河硝酸盐端元贡献比例——基于硝酸盐氮、氧同位素研究

近年来,河流氮污染一直是生物地球化学领域研究的热点问题。然而,识别水体硝酸盐来源、端元贡献比例及其在水体中存在生物转化(硝化、反硝化)过程,仍旧是氮循环研究的难点问题。本研究选取流经西安市的两条河流——浐河和灞河,测定其河水溶解态硝酸盐氮、氧同位素组成,并结合Bayesian同位素混合模型,有效识别了两条河流从源头到汇入渭河河口处,氮素来源的变化,同时,定量分析了其贡献比例的变化。结果显示,河流源头附近,土壤有机氮是河流硝酸盐主要来源,其贡献比例接近30%;河流中游,由于沿河农业活动的增加,同位素指示河流硝酸盐主要来源转化为化学肥料,其贡献比例接近25%;河流下游,由于城市用水的汇入,硝酸盐氮、氧同位素值偏正,主要位于污水及粪肥区间,指示硝酸盐含量较高的生活污水及工业废水的输入,其贡献比例能达到30%以上。通过本研究,研究者定性及半定量的区分和浐河、灞河氮素来源,为今后有效控制氮污染提供了理论基础。
