珠三角空气质量数值预报系统的检验与订正研究

通过对珠三角空气质量预报模式的模拟结果进行检验,发现模式预报值整体偏小,特别是峰值,但变化趋势与实测一致,峰值都能较好模拟出.模式对PM10的预报准确率要高于PM2.5,从等级预报来看PM10和PM2.5的二级预报准确率要高于一级,利用MOS方法对模式预报结果进行订正,订正后颗粒物平均偏差都有一定程度的下降,颗粒物等级预报准确率PM10由64.7%提高到77.6%,PM2.5由59.9%提高至74.5%,准确率的提高明显.

生物活性炭对不同C/N比废水同步硝化反硝化脱氮效果的影响

以连续运行的生物活性炭(biological actived carbon,BAC)填料反应器为研究对象,与序批式活性污泥反应器(sequencing batch reactor,SBR)对比,考察了BAC的加入对不同C/N比废水同步硝化反硝化(simultaneous nitrification and denitrification,SND)脱氮效果的影响.在室温(15~27℃),初始溶解氧(dissolved oxygen,DO)质量浓度2~3 mg·L-1条件下,以甲醇做外加碳源,分别设置进水C/N比为3、5、8和10运行120个周期,比较两反应器的脱氮效果及稳定性.结果表明,C/N比由3依次升至5和8时BAC填料反应器脱氮效果优于SBR,TN平均去除率分别达44.88%、58.07%和66.64%.继续增大进水C/N至10,SBR发生污泥膨胀,而BAC反应器仍能保持63.65%的TN去除率.实验证明BAC在单一反应器内创造了多样的溶解氧环境,为SND创造了适宜的条件.BAC的加入减小了过量有机碳对硝化系统带来的影响,扩大了反应器的C/N比适用范围,增加了运行的稳定性,提高了有机物的脱氮容量,为高效脱氮提供了可能.     

典型西南岩溶区工业城市降水酸化缓解原因探究——以柳州市为例

利用柳州市环境保护监测站2013—2017年大气降水监测数据,分析近年来柳州岩溶区工业城市降水酸化缓解原因,并对离子来源进行探究.结果表明:①统计柳州近5年的降水pH值发现研究区降水酸化问题有了明显的改善,同时具有季节性差异,春冬季降水酸化相对夏秋季较重.②通过分析降水中主要离子组成及变化特征、计算中和因子(NF)和相对酸度(FA)发现,降水中主要离子浓度出现减少趋势,酸化类型逐渐向硫-硝酸混合型过渡,且99.97%的酸性离子被NH~+_4、Ca~(2+)等离子所中和,所以得出酸性物质的减少和碱性离子的中和作用可能是降水酸化改善的重要因素.③采用Hysplit模型对研究区降水酸化较严重的2016年(共60场)的降水水汽来源进行后向轨迹追踪及聚类分析,显示降水离子组成与浓度不仅与当地污染源有关,还与来自大陆内部西北和西南远距离物质输送有关.上述结果指示由于喀斯特化学风化作用、柳州市严格执行环保规定、大环境改善导致远程传输污染减弱等原因使得柳州市降水酸化情况得到极大改善.此外值得注意的是柳州市酸雨类型逐渐向硫-硝酸混合型过渡,指示随着工业污染的控制得到减弱,日益增长的机动车尾气排放或许成为研究区下一步治理重点方向.     

鸡粪热裂解对重金属Mn、Cu、Zn和Cr生物有效性的影响

畜禽粪便直接农用引起的重金属污染是社会普遍关注的问题,探索如何有效降低畜禽粪便重金属生物有效性的技术是急需解决的难题.本文通过分析鸡粪(CM)裂解前后Mn、Cu、Zn和Cr等4种重金属形态分布变化,并采用林地大型盆栽试验研究添加CM和鸡粪炭(CMB)处理对湿地松地上部分重金属吸收状况的影响.结果表明,与CM直接还田相比,添加CMB(400℃)处理降低Mn、Cu和Zn在湿地松地上部分的吸收量和富集系数,而处理之间植株Cr元素的吸收量和富集系数差异不显著. Tessier连续提取结果表明, Mn、Cu和Zn的交换态含量分别由CM的94.8、10.0和34.9 mg·kg~(-1)显著降为CMB的16.6 mg·kg~(-1)、未检测出和1.8 mg·kg~(-1). CM裂解成CMB后, Cr元素残渣态含量显著提高.从元素质量守恒来看, CM制成CMB后Mn、Cu、Zn和Cr损失率分别为29.3%、35.6%、33.5%和3.3%.裂解油中Mn、Cu、Zn和Cr的金属总量分别占CM金属损失量的51.7%、53.0%、32.9%和13.1%. CM裂解成CMB后,91.7%的交换态Mn、几乎100%交换态Cu和97.5%的交换态Zn会随裂解转化为铁锰氧化态、有机结合态和残渣态形式或挥发而降低有效性. 1年盆栽试验结果表明,在CMB处理中,土壤Mn、Cu和Zn交换态含量显著低于CM处理.相关性分析发现,植物体内重金属吸收量与土壤金属有效态含量显著相关,而与总量相关性不明显.由此可见,将鸡粪制成鸡粪炭是一种有效降低Mn、Cu和Zn生物有效性的途径.     

酸性矿山废水对稻田土壤微生物菌群结构的影响

为探究酸性矿山废水(AMD)对稻田土壤微生物群落结构的影响,通过取自矿区受AMD污染和未受污染的稻田土壤进行微宇宙灌溉模拟实验,研究了AMD污染过程中土壤理化性质和微生物群落的变化,同时建立环境条件变化引起土壤微生物群落结构改变的相关性关系.结果表明,受AMD污染的土壤中SO_4~(2-)、Cd、Zn含量显著上升,土壤酸化且土壤中细菌群落的多样性下降;而恢复清洁水灌溉可提高土壤细菌群落的多样性,有利于修复AMD的污染.采用高通量测序技术分析了不同处理稻田土壤中微生物群落在门和属分类水平上的相对丰度分布变化,冗余分析(RDA)表明,土壤pH和重金属(Pb、Cu)含量是影响稻田土壤微生物群落结构的主要环境因子.研究结果不仅有助于进一步揭示AMD污染、土壤因子与土壤微生物群落的相互关系,同时可为恢复AMD污染农业土壤提供理论依据.     

Application of fire suppression materials on suppression of LNG pool fires

An LNG pool fire is considered one of the main hazards of LNG, together with LNG vapor dispersion. Suppression methods are designed to reduce the hazard exclusion zones, distance to reach radiant heat of 5 kW/m², when an LNG pool fire is considered. For LNG vapor dispersion, the hazard exclusion zone is the distance travelled by the LNG vapor to reach a concentration of 2.5% v/v (half of the LNG lower flammability limit).Warming the LNG vapor to reach positive buoyancy faster is one way to suppress LNG vapor dispersion and reduce evaporation rate (thus fire size and its associated radiant heat) and that is the main objective in LNG pool fire suppression. Based on previous research, the use of high expansion foam has been regarded as the primary method in suppressing LNG pool fires. However, in 1980, another method was introduced as an alternative pool fire suppression system, Foamglas^®. The research concluded that 90% of the radiant heat was successfully reduced. Currently-called Foamglas^® pool fire suppression (Foamglas^® PFS) is a passive mitigation system and is deployed after the leak occurs. Foamglas^® PFS is non-flammable, and has a density one-third of the density of LNG, thus floats when an LNG pool is formed.This paper describes the study and confirmation of Foamglas^®PFS effectiveness in suppressing LNG pool fires. In addition, while Foamglas^® PFS is not expected to suppress LNG vapor dispersion, further investigation was conducted to study the effect of Foamglas^®PFS on LNG vapor dispersion. An LNG field experiment was conducted at Brayton Fire Field. The experimental development, procedures, results and findings are detailed in this paper.     

Spatiotemporal Variation of Karst Ecosystem Service Values and Its Correlation with Environmental Factors in Northwest Guangxi,China

In this investigation we analyzed the spatiotemporal variation of ecosystem service values (ESVs) and its correlation with numerous environmental factors (EFs) for the karst region of Northwest Guangxi, China, from 1985 to 2005 using remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical techniques. The results indicate that historically ESVs for this karst region decreased from 1985 (109.652 billion Yuan) to 1990 (88.789 billion Yuan) and then increased at the turn of the twenty-first century. However, the ESVs in both 2000 (103.384 billion Yuan) and 2005 (106.257 billion Yuan) never achieved the level recorded in 1985. The total of nutrient cycling, organic production and gas regulation combined were 72.69, 64.57, 70.18 and 72.10% of ESVs in 1985, 1990, 2000 and 2005, respectively. In contrast, the ESVs of water conservation, soil reservation, recreation and culture were determined to be relatively low contributing only 17.44, 23.82, 19.26 and 24.76% of total ESVs, respectively, during these four years. With regards to the spatial distribution of ESVs, larger values were recorded in the west and smaller ones recorded in the east. The most significant factors that were deemed to influence ESVs are annual rainfall, per capita cropland, slope and vegetation coverage. Annual rainfall and slope exert a negative force, whereas per capita cropland and vegetation coverage exert a positive force on ESVs. The results of the study would suggest that ecosystem conditions of this important karst region have been improved as the result of the implementation of rocky desertification control policies.     

Responses of Soil CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Efflux to Precipitation Pulses in Two Subtropical Forests in Southern China

This study was designed to examine the responses of soil CO₂ efflux to precipitation pulses of varying intensities using precipitation simulations in two subtropical forests [i.e., mixed and broadleaf forests (MF and BF)] in southern China. The artificial precipitation event was achieved by spraying a known amount of water evenly in a plot (50 × 50 cm²) over a 30 min period, with intensities ranging from 10, 20, 50 and 100 mm within the 30 min. The various intensities were simulated in both dry season (in December 2007) and wet (in May 2008) season. We characterized the dynamic patterns of soil CO₂ efflux rate and environmental factors over the 5 h experimental period. Results showed that both soil moisture and soil CO₂ efflux rate increased to peak values for most of the simulated precipitation treatments, and gradually returned to the pre-irrigation levels after irrigation in two forests. The maximum peak of soil CO₂ efflux rate occurred at the 10 mm precipitation event in the dry season in BF and was about 3.5 times that of the pre-irrigation value. The change in cumulative soil CO₂ efflux following precipitation pulses ranged from −0.68 to 1.72 g CO₂ m⁻² over 5 h compared to the pre-irrigation levels and was generally larger in the dry season than in the wet season. The positive responses of soil CO₂ efflux to precipitation pulses declined with the increases in precipitation intensity, and surprisingly turned to negative when precipitation intensity reached 50 and 100 mm in the wet season. These findings indicated that soil CO₂ efflux could be changed via pulse-like fluxes in subtropical forests in southern China as fewer but extreme precipitation events occur in the future.
