Investigation of the aerosol structure over an urban area using a polarization lidar

The paper presents a lidar study of the aerosol structure in the planetary boundary layer in the case of radiation fog and haze. A conceptual model of the dynamics of the depolarization coefficient profile during the mixing layer development, taking into account the presence of a multilayered inversions and radiation fogs, is proposed. Various techniques are employed in the processing of the lidar signal in order to determine the mixing layer height as well as more details of the aerosol structure in the low atmosphere, namely, finding the maximum of the signal returned from the lowest temperature inversion, the crossing point of the S function's first derivative with the x axis, and profiles of the depolarization ratio. After the complete destruction of the stable stratification, a low constant value of the depolarization ratio within the newly formed mixing layer is being observed. The study of stable boundary layer disintegration and convective boundary layer formation in the presence of fogs and/or clouds is of both scientific and practical significance in what concerns the protection of the environment and the aviation meteorology.     

利用化学混凝法处理钻井污水实验研究

采用化学混凝法对江汉油田钻井污水进行了室内处理实验。实验结果表明,污水处理时所选絮凝剂的种类、加入量、加入顺序、温度和加入后的沉降时间等都会影响处理效果。采用单一无机化学药剂,沉降速度较慢,故考虑将无机和有机药剂复配使用,即利用先加无机药剂后再加入有机药剂的顺序处理该油田钻井废水。该实验结果为油田钻井污水无害化处理提供了基础资料。
