深埋岩溶隧道掌子面突水灾害可靠性上限分析∗

旨在研究高地应力、高压富水条件下深埋岩溶隧道掌子面突水灾害的可靠性问题。基于已有研究成果,考虑高地应力以及高压富水地质条件,采用极限分析上限法构建了以剪切破坏为主的深埋岩溶隧道掌子面三维防突机制。根据虚功率原理建立突水破坏过程中的能量方程,利用Hoek-Brown 强度准则求解了高地应力以及高压富水条件下防止掌子面突水所需要的支护力上限解。在极限破坏状态下,根据掌子面上施加的支护力与突水破坏时的围岩压力构建极限状态方程,建立了深埋岩溶隧道掌子面防突可靠度模型,并采用响应面法计算了掌子面发生突水灾害的失效概率。分析了水平地应力、溶腔水压力、岩体强度参数以及隧道洞径对支护力、潜在破坏长度的影响规律,给出了满足不同容许失效概率下深埋岩溶隧道预防突水灾害所需要的最小支护力以及在有限支护效应下能抵抗的最大破坏长度。将研究成果应用于实际工程案例中,与已有研究、现场结果相比较,验证了本文计算结果的有效性,可为今后类似深埋岩溶隧道的防突问题提供理论指导和参考。     

Kinetics and corrosion products of aqueous nitrate reduction by iron powder without reaction conditions control

Although considerable research has been conducted on nitrate reduction by zero-valent iron powder (Fe0), these studies were mostly operated under anaerobic conditions with invariable pH that was unsuitable for practical application. Without reaction conditions (dissolved oxygen or reaction pH) control, this work aimed at subjecting the kinetics of denitrification by microscale Fe0 (160–200 mesh) to analysis the factors affecting the denitrification of nitrate and the composition of iron reductive products c...     

Effects of surfactants on the combined toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles and cadmium to Escherichia coli

The combined ecological toxicity of TiO₂ nanoparticles (nano-TiO₂) and heavy metals has been paid more attention. As the common pollutants in water environment, surfactants could affect the properties of nanoparticles and heavy metals, and thus further influence the combined toxicity of nano-TiO₂ and heavy metals. In this study, the effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and Tween 80 on the single and combined toxicities of Cd^2 + and nano-TiO₂ to Escherichia coli (E. coli) were examined, and the underlying influence mechanism was further discussed. The results showed both SDBS and Tween 80 enhanced the toxicity of Cd^2 + to E. coli in varying degrees. The reaction of SDBS and Cd^2 + could increase the outer membrane permeability and the bioavailability of Cd, while Tween 80 itself could enhance the outer membrane permeability. The combined toxicity of nano-TiO₂ and Cd^2 + to E. coli in absence of surfactant was antagonistic because of the adsorption of Cd^2 + to nano-TiO₂ particles. However, in the presence of SDBS, both SDBS and nano-TiO₂ influenced the toxicity of Cd^2 +, and also SDBS could adsorb to nano-TiO₂ by binding to Cd^2 +. The combined toxicity was reduced at Cd^2 + lower than 4 mg/L and enhanced at Cd^2 + higher than 4 mg/L under multiple interactions. Tween 80 enhanced the combined toxicity of nano-TiO₂ and Cd^2 + by increasing the outer membrane permeability. Our study firstly elucidated the effects of surfactants on the combined toxicity of nano-TiO₂ and Cd^2 + to bacteria, and the underlying influencing mechanism was proposed.     

艾比湖湿地植物群落变化对盐分环境梯度的响应

土壤盐分是影响干旱区荒漠植物群落动态的决定因素之一。基于2012年5月和10月在艾比湿地调查的植物样方和实验得出的土壤表层盐分数据,利用聚类分析方法将39个土壤表层盐分数据划分为3个盐分梯度0.03%~0.73%（S1）、0.81%~1.73%（S2）和2.40%~3.12%（S3）,分析艾比湖湿地植物群落植物多样性变化对土壤盐分环境梯度的响应。结果表明,（1）距湖15 km和距湖5 km采样点大部分处于第1个盐分梯度,属于轻度盐渍化;鸟岛、博河、鸭子湾、奎屯河、和距湖10 km处均处于第2个盐分梯度,盐渍化程度达到中-重度;湖边采样点,在3个盐分梯度各有分布。（2）3个盐分梯度上的主要植被类型不同：S1以梭梭（Haloxylon ammodendron）、柽柳（Tamarix ramosissima）、白刺（Nitraria tangutorum Bobr）为主,并且出现的植被种类较多（37种）;S2以柽柳（Tamarix ramosissima）、盐节木（Haloenemum strobilaceum）为主,出现的植被种类相对较少（11种）;S3以盐节木（Haloenemum strobilaceum）、盐角草（Salicornia europaea）、芦苇（Phragmites australis）为主,出现的植被种类较少（7种）,随土壤盐含量的升高,植被种类减少、群落生活型结构有所改变,草本比例减少,灌木和乔木比例有所增加。（3）植物Simposon指数、Shannon-Wiener指数和Margalef指数在中盐梯度下达到最大,最大值分别为0.84、2.28、3.82。（4）Pielow 指数则是随着盐分梯度的上升呈下降趋势,在低盐梯度下达到最大值,最大值为1.26。（5）多样性指数在S3梯度下整体显著降低,即土壤盐分含量为2.40%~3.12%时对艾比湖湿地植物多样性的影响较大。

污水处理行业温室气体核算模型开发及减排潜力分析

城镇污水处理行业是我国现代化进程中不可或缺的一部分,它承担着城镇污水处理和减排的重要作用,在运行过程中不可避免会产生大量的温室气体。本研究基于污水处理过程中的温室气体排放机理及排放因子法,构建了污水处理温室气体核算模型,并应用于国内典型的某厌氧—缺氧—好氧工艺的污水处理厂。研究结果表明,开发的模型能够有效识别出厌氧—缺氧—好氧工艺温室气体排放占比较高的环节,该环节为污水处理过程中电耗和污水处理过程中的甲烷排放,其在整个温室气体排放系统内占比高达93.09%。污水处理厂可以采取减小曝气量的措施使溶解氧达到2 ～ 3 mg/L,从而降低污水处理系统曝气电耗;另外,优化泵及鼓风机的运行,选用变频调速水泵等措施,可以降低污水提升环节能耗,达到温室气体间接减排的目的。污水处理厂还可以采取甲烷产能回收利用措施,将CH₄燃烧产生的能量作为污水处理系统内的能源供应,这样不仅可以有效减少污水处理厂的能耗,而且可以实现污水处理过程中温室气体排放减量化。     

基于LMDI模型的乌鲁木齐工业废气排放影响因素研究

本文运用对数平均的LMDI 分解模型,选取工业SO₂、工业烟(粉)尘排放量作为污染物指标,将2006—2013 年,乌鲁木齐工业废气排放量影响因素分解为规模效应、结构效应、技术效应,考虑到技术效应机制的复杂性,进一步将技术效应细化为污染治理效应和清洁技术效应。研究结果表明:规模效应和结构效应增加乌鲁木齐工业废气排放,其中规模效应对工业废气排放量贡献率由2007 年的119.10%增加到2013 年的263.03%,结构效应对工业废气排放量的增加也起到一定的促进作用,但影响效果远低于规模效应,年贡献率均低于10%,技术效应阻碍工业废气排放的增加,贡献率由2007 年的-19.86%增加到2013 年的-172.50%。制造业和电力、燃气及水的生产和供应业废气排放量占工业废气排放总量的70% 左右,是乌鲁木齐工业废气污染的主要行业。清洁技术效应对SO₂ 的减排起促进作用,是阻碍工业SO₂ 排放量增加的主要因素。污染治理效应是工业烟(粉)尘的减排主要因素,说明目前乌鲁木齐工业烟(粉)尘的减排依赖于排放后的治理。     

Ligand effects on arsenite removal by zero-valent iron/O2: Dissolution, corrosion, oxidation and coprecipitation

Ligands may increase the yields of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in zero-valent iron (ZVI)/O₂ systems. To clarify the relationship between the properties of ligands and their effects on the oxidative removal of contaminants, five common ligands (formate, acetate, oxalate, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and phosphate) as well as acetylacetone (AA) were investigated with arsenite (As(III)) as the target contaminant at three initial pH values (3.0, 5.0, and 7.0). The addition of these ligands to the ZVI/O₂ system resulted in quite different effects on As(III) removal. EDTA enhanced the oxidation of As(III) to arsenate (As(V)) but inhibited the removal of As(V). Oxalate was the only ligand in this work that accelerated both the removal of As(III) and As(V). By analyzing the ligand effects from the four aspects: dissolution of surface iron (hydr)oxides, corrosion of ZVI, reaction with ROS, and interference with precipitation, the following properties of ligands were believed to be important: ability to provide dissociable protons, complexation ability with iron, and reactivity with ROS. The complexation ability is a double-edged sword. It could enhance the generation of ROS by reducing the reduction potential of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple, but also could inhibit the removal of arsenic by coprecipitation. The elucidated relationship between the key property parameters of ligands and their effects on the ZVI/O₂ system is helpful for the rational design of effective ZVI/ligand/O₂ systems.
