脱硫灰中杂质对石灰石脱硫活性的影响

研究脱硫灰中杂质对石灰石脱硫活性的影响具有重要意义,采用烟气湿法脱硫用石灰石粉反应速率的测定方法,使用瑞士万通902智能电位滴定仪,分析了SiO2、Al2O3、Fe2O3、CaSO3与MgO等脱硫灰中5种杂质对石灰石脱硫活性的影响。结果表明,在实验浓度范围内,SiO2、Al2O3、CaSO3的加入在一定程度上促进了石灰石的溶解,而MgO、Fe2O3的加入在一定程度上抑制了石灰石的溶解。将脱硫灰与石灰石掺合作脱硫剂时,要综合考虑这5种杂质对石灰石溶出的影响,选择适宜的脱硫灰和石灰石掺合比。     

Classification and identification of metal-accumulating plant species by cluster analysis

Identification and classification of metal-accumulating plant species is essential for phytoextraction. Cluster analysis is used for classifying individuals based on measured characteristics. In this study, classification of plant species for metal accumulation was conducted using cluster analysis based on a practical survey. Forty plant samples belonging to 21 species were collected from an ancient silver-mining site. Five groups such as hyperaccumulator, potential hyperaccumulator, accumulator, potential accumulator, and normal accumulating plant were graded. For Cd accumulation, the ancient silver-mining ecotype of Sedum alfredii was treated as a Cd hyperaccumulator, and the others were normal Cd-accumulating plants. For Zn accumulation, S. alfredii was considered as a potential Zn hyperaccumulator, Conyza canadensis and Artemisia lavandulaefolia were Zn accumulators, and the others were normal Zn-accumulating plants. For Pb accumulation, S. alfredii and Elatostema lineolatum were potential Pb hyperaccumulators, Rubus hunanensis, Ajuga decumbens, and Erigeron annuus were Pb accumulators, C. canadensis and A. lavandulaefolia were potential Pb accumulators, and the others were normal Pb-accumulating plants. Plant species with the potential for phytoextraction were identified such as S. alfredii for Cd and Zn, C. canadensis and A. lavandulaefolia for Zn and Pb, and E. lineolatum, R. hunanensis, A. decumbens, and E. annuus for Pb. Cluster analysis is effective in the classification of plant species for metal accumulation and identification of potential species for phytoextraction.     

非均相催化臭氧氧化深度处理炼油废水

采用非均相催化剂催化臭氧氧化处理炼油废水,考察了催化剂负载率、p H、催化剂投加量和臭氧投加量及反应时间对处理效果的影响。结果表明,组合工艺最佳工艺条件为:催化剂负载率2.1%、p H 9、催化剂投量80 g/L、臭氧投量8.1 mg/L、反应时间60 min,COD、石油类、NH3-N、硫化物和SS去除率分别为91.3%、92.7%、80.5%、34.5%和59%。处理炼油废水过程中组合工艺存在明显协同效应,协同因子为1.47。中间臭氧氧化和催化臭氧氧化在最优工艺条件下对炼油废水COD的降解均符合准一级动力学规律。基于叔丁醇的实验结果,结合降解动力学可以推测,降解炼油废水过程中非均相催化剂催化臭氧产生高活性羟基自由基是降解效率提高的主导因素。     

Illegal trade in wild cats and its link to Chinese-led development in Central and South America

Seizures of hundreds of jaguar heads and canines in Central and South America from 2014 to 2018 resulted in worldwide media coverage suggesting that wildlife traffickers are trading jaguar body parts as substitutes for tiger parts to satisfy the demand for traditional Asian medicine. We compiled a data set of >1000 seized wild cats (jaguar [Panthera onca], puma [Puma concolor], and ocelot [Leopardus pardalis]) from 19 Central and South American countries and China. We ran generalized additive mixed models to detect trends in wild-cat seizures from 2012 to 2018 and assess the effects of socioeconomic factors of source countries and between those countries and China on the number of wild cats seized. Jaguar seizures increased over time, and most of the seized jaguar pieces were canines (1991 of 2117). Around 34% (32 of 93) of the jaguar-part seizure reports were linked with China, and these seizures contained 14-fold more individuals than those intended for domestic markets. Source countries with relatively high levels of corruption and Chinese private investment and low income per capita had 10–50 times more jaguar seizures than the remaining sampled countries. The number of Chinese residents in Central and South America was not significantly related to the number of jaguars seized. No socioeconomic factors influenced the seizures of puma and ocelots. Legal market chains may provide structure for the illegal chain; thus, the influx of illegal jaguar products is potentially a side effect of the economic partnership between Central and South American countries and China. Poverty and high levels of corruption in the source countries may motivate local people to engage in illegal activities and contribute to the growth of this trade. Supply-side interventions to curb this threat to Neotropical wild cats may include improved training for officials and promotion of governance and the value of protecting these animals to local people.     

壳聚糖-活性炭复合物水冲前后吸附性及其抑菌性能的研究

将3种不同分子量(Mw)壳聚糖(50 000、100 000及高分子量(粘度为50～800 mPa·s))分别与活性炭制成壳聚糖活性炭复合物.考察自来水冲洗前后,壳聚糖-活性炭复合物的吸附性能及其对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌抑制性能的变化.结果表明,经水流冲洗后,3种壳聚糖制备的壳聚糖-活性炭复合物的吸附性能上升,而抑菌性能下降;其中,高分子量壳聚糖制备而成的壳聚糖-活性炭复合物对两种细菌仍有较强的抑制能力.即高分子量壳聚糖制备而成的壳聚糖-活性炭复合物更适于在实际水处理中应用.     

地下硐室的几何特性对松动圈范围的影响

松动圈是岩体地下硐室稳定性评价和设计的重要指标之一。地下硐室的几何特性对松动圈的范围有一定的影响。运用显式有限差分法,从地下硐室的断面积、高度和跨度以及断面形状等方面就地下硐室的几何性质对松动圈影响的问题进行了数值模拟研究。结果表明:随着断面面积的增大,松动圈范围扩大,扩展速度加快;随着断面跨高比的增大,松动圈范围增大;高跨比变化对松动圈范围的影响较小;断面形状对松动圈范围及扩展速度有很大影响。研究结果对地下硐室的开挖以及衬砌设计具有参考意义。
