长江三角洲城市群人为热排放特征研究

基于常规可获取的能源、交通、人口等统计资料,利用“自上而下”的能源清单法,研究了2010年长江三角洲(以下简称“长三角”)城市群地区各类人为热排放量及其时空分布特征.结果表明:该地区人为热排放总量为1.4′1019J/a,其中工业、交通、建筑、新陈代谢分别占75.1%、12.5%、9.9%和2.5%.上海、苏州、无锡、杭州和南京五个城市的人为热排放总量约占研究区域总量的71%.长三角城市群的人为热年平均排放通量为5.3W/m2,大部分地区介于5~30W/m2,城市高值区一般介于20~70W/m2,上海明显高于其他城市.为方便有关环境气候模式的输入,本文提供了人为热排放的网格化空间分布和简单的时间变化廓线.     

江汉平原农田土壤有机碳分布与变化特点:以潜江市为例

以地处江汉平原腹地的潜江市农田土壤(水田、旱地)为研究对象,于2011年实地采样分析表层土壤(0~20 cm)有机碳的分布现状,并对比第二次土壤普查(1983年)资料,探讨28 a来江汉平原农田土壤有机碳的分布与变化特点.结果表明,2011年潜江市农田表层土壤有机碳密度为30.50 t·hm-2,碳储量为452.82×104t,与1983年相比有明显下降,下降速率分别为0.10 t·(hm2·a)-1和1.53 t·a-1,碳储量共损失了9%.两个时期水田土壤有机碳密度均明显高于旱地土壤,分别是旱地土壤的1.6倍和1.3倍,但是经过28年的常规耕作管理,水田土壤有机碳密度呈下降趋势,下降速率为0.23 t·(hm2·a)-1,导致的有机碳损失为52.83×104t,损失比例达16%;而旱地土壤有机碳则以0.05 t·(hm2·a)-1的速率缓慢增长,碳储量共增加了8.57×104t,增加比例为5%,远不能抵消水田土壤的有机碳损失.水田土壤碳储量的损失主要来自于低产潜育型水稻土碳密度的大幅下降所致(尽管其所占面积比例较小),其碳损失量占水田碳损失量的比例达80%;其次为占水田面积比例最大的潴育型水稻土,其碳损失量占水田碳损失量的15%.旱地土壤碳储量增长缓慢,完全来自于面积占96%的灰潮土有机碳密度的增长.因此,江汉平原区水田土壤有机碳的变化决定了农田土壤有机碳的整体动向,今后需着力提升有机碳下降迅速的低产水田以及面积较大的土壤类型的有机碳积累和固持能力.     

基于区域氮循环模型IAP-N的安徽省农用地N2O排放量估算

本研究采用区域氮循环模型IAP-N估算了2011年安徽省县级共计7种农用地类型的N2O排放,估算所需的统计数据来源于安徽省各市统计年鉴,排放因子来源于已发表文献中的观测数据.结果表明,2011年安徽省农用地N2O总排放量(以N2O-N计)为3.51万t.其中,直接排放2.76万t,间接排放0.66万t,田间秸秆燃烧排放0.08万t.淮北平原(Ⅰ区)和沿江圩丘(Ⅱ区)是安徽农用地N2O主要排放区,对农用地N2O总排放的贡献分别为41%和35%.单纯旱作农田是各区最主要的直接排放源,约占直接排放的74%.Ⅱ区和Ⅲ区水旱轮作中的旱作地N2O排放居第二位(分别占Ⅱ区和Ⅲ区直接排放的19%和14%),Ⅳ区的果园茶园N2O直接排放居第二位(占Ⅳ区直接排放的22%).间接排放源中由大气氮沉降引起的N2O排放占三分之二.该研究结果可为决策者合理利用肥料,制定安徽省农业土壤温室气体减排措施提供科学依据.     

Effect of plant harvest on methane emission from two constructed wetlands designed for the treatment of wastewater

The emission of methane from two constructed wetlands [a free water surface flow system (FWS) and a subsurface flow system (SF)], constructed for the treatment of waste water, was evaluated at different sites inhabited by reeds (Phragmites communis), to test the effects of plant harvest. High methane emission was recorded immediately after harvesting in both wetlands. Several days after harvesting, the emission decreased in the FWS but remained high in the SF. The variation was significantly influenced by temperature, with lower emission and higher dissolved CH(4) in water occurring at lower temperatures. Both the emission and concentration of dissolved CH(4) were also influenced significantly by water quality, wetland design, level of stalk butt left above the water level, etc. The methane flux was explained on the basis of rizhospheric methanogenic and methanotrophic microbial populations. FISH analysis indicated the presence of Type A and Type B methanotrophs in both wetlands, and the methane flux was directly influenced by the quantitative variation in methanogenic and methanotrophic bacteria in both wetlands.     

Toward quantifying the effectiveness of water trading under uncertainty

This paper presents a methodology for quantifying the effectiveness of water-trading under uncertainty, by developing an optimization model based on the interval-parameter two-stage stochastic program (TSP) technique. In the study, the effectiveness of a water-trading program is measured by the water volume that can be released through trading from a statistical point of view. The methodology can also deal with recourse water allocation problems generated by randomness in water availability and, at the same time, tackle uncertainties expressed as intervals in the trading system. The developed methodology was tested with a hypothetical water-trading program in an agricultural system in the Swift Current Creek watershed, Canada. Study results indicate that the methodology can effectively measure the effectiveness of a trading program through estimating the water volume being released through trading in a long-term view. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to analyze the effects of different trading costs on the trading program. It shows that the trading efforts would become ineffective when the trading costs are too high. The case study also demonstrates that the trading program is more effective in a dry season when total water availability is in shortage.

Remediation of Ni2+-contaminated water using iron powder and steel manufacturing byproducts

Steel manufacturing byproducts and commercial iron powders were tested in the treatment of Ni^2＋-contaminated water. Ni^2＋ is a priority pollutant of some soils and groundwater. The use of zero-valent iron, which can reduce Ni^2＋ to its neural form appears to be an alternative approach for the remediation of Ni^2＋-contaminated sites. Our experimental data show that the removal efficiencies of Ni^2＋ were 95.15% and 94.68% at a metal to solution ratio of 20 g/L for commercial iron powders and the steel manufacturing byproducts in 60 min at room temperature, respectively. The removal efficiency reached 98.20% when the metal to solution ratio was 40 g/L for commercial iron powders. Furthermore, we found that the removal efficiency was also largely affected by other factors such as the pHs of the treated water, the length of time for the metal to be in contact with the Ni^2＋-contaminated water, initial concentrations of metal solutions, particle sizes and the amount of iron powders. Surprisingly, the reaction temperature appeared to have little effect on the removal efficiency. Our study opens the way to further optimize the reaction conditions of in situ remediation of Ni^2＋ or other heavy metals on contaminated sites.

Dairy manure treatment, digestion and nutrient recovery as a phosphate fertilizer

A combined approach of biological treatment, solids digestion and nutrient recovery was tested on dairy manure. A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated in three modes, in order to optimize nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) removals. The highest average removal efficiencies of 91% for NH4-N, 59% for PO4-P and 80% for total chemical oxygen demand (COD) were achieved. Staining experiments suggested the coexistence of glycogen and phosphorus accumulating organisms. Anaerobic digestion of wasted bio-solids was able to produce a PO4-P concentration of 70 mgL-1 in the supernatant. A pilot-scale experiment, designed to recover phosphorus in the supernatant as struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate), was able to remove 82% of soluble PO4-P.     

Isolation and Identification of Antialgal Compounds from the Leaves of Vallisneria spiralis L. by Activity-Guided Fractionation (5 pp)

Background, Aims and Scope

Vallisneria spiralis Linn., a common, submerged macrophyte, is widely available in quiet waters of lakes, ponds, marshes and streams in Southeast Asia. V. spiralis plays a significant role not only in decreasing eutrophication of water body for its productivity, but also in inhibiting the growth of blue-green algae? The aim of the paper involves the isolation and identification of allelochemicals from extracts of V. spiralis by activity-guided fractionation and column chromatography.

Methods

Leaves of V. spiralis was washed free of debris, air-dried and refluxed in 95% EtOH. The extract was isolated using column chromatography and fractionation with antialgal activity. Potential allelochemicals were analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS).

Results

Two fractions with strong antialgal activity were isolated using column chromatography and activity-guided fractionation from the extract of V. spiralis. 2-Ethyl-3-methylmaleimide, dihydroactinidiolide and 4-oxo-β-Ionone were identified in the first fraction, and 3-hydroxy-5,6-epoxy-β-ionone, loliolide, 6-hydroxy-3-oxo-α-ionone and an unknown compound in the second fraction. They had strong inhibitory effects on Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz.

Discussion

2-Ethyl-3-methylmaleimide is a byproduct of photooxidation of chlorophyll, and five other compounds identified were derivatives of β-carotene. HRGC-MS and derivatization technology were used to identify and confirm their molecular structures. The formula of the unknown compound was C16H19NO4. Metabolites of plant pigments had strong inhibitory activities on growth of algae.

Conclusions

Six compounds had been identified in V. spiralis, among them, 2-ethyl-3-methylmaleimide was the main allelochemical, and derivatives of ionone were also potential allelochemicals.

Recommendations and Perspective

. The results of our research could help us to study further mechanisms of inhibitory effect on algae and develop new potential antialgal substances.
