氨基功能化碳材料的水热制备及其对活性艳红K-2BP的吸附性能

以葡萄糖为前驱物,以氨水或谷氨酸为添加物,通过一步水热法制备出氨基功能化碳材料,并研究了这些碳材料对活性艳红K-2BP的吸附性能。结果表明,在葡萄糖水热过程中加入不同添加物可以得到不同形貌的碳材料(从微球到不规则形状)。当以只有葡萄糖为前驱物制备的碳微球作为K-2BP的吸附剂时,其对K-2BP的最大吸附量为6.28 mg/g。当在水热体系中加入氨水和谷氨酸作为共聚物后,两者会产生协同作用,使得到的碳材料对K-2BP的吸附性能大大提高,最大吸附量达到37.0 mg/g。单纯的葡萄糖水热体系得到的碳微球对K-2BP的吸附符合Langmuir吸附等温线,而氨基功能化的碳材料对K-2BP的吸附符合Freundlich吸附等温式,吸附过程符合准一级动力学模型。低的溶液pH有利于K-2BP的吸附。     

Application and appreciation of chemical sand fixing agent-poly (aspartic acid) and its composites

The sand fixing agent-poly (aspartic acid) (PASP) and its composites were applied in the field by two forms (spraying around by PASP solution and PASP powder directly). It was found that the sand fixing effect in powder form was not as good as in solution form, but it was more practical in dry region. It needed 9, 6 and 7 days for PASP, xanthan gum-PASP (X2) and ethyl cellulose-PASP (E3) to attain the maximal mechanical strength after they were applied, respectively. The sand fixing effect decreased when the material was subjected to repeated hydration-dehydration cycles and the material had no negative influence on plant growth. The PASP and its composites had water-retaining ability and could reduce the water evaporation.     

基于谓词逻辑的应急指挥系统的设计研究

世界各国在“9．11”事件以后都开始了应急指挥系统的设计和建设,我国也建立了不少的应急指挥系统,但是从近几年紧急事件的处理情况来看,这些系统有一共同的缺陷：对应急指挥系统的设计理论没有深入的分析,系统的设计没有明确的方向,也缺乏对应急流程的分析思考,忽视计算机的智能处理能力,造成应急指挥系统的使用低效。针对这两个问题,先阐述了应急指挥系统设计通用的理论原则,之后着重分析了应急流程的数字化问题,提出了一种以谓词逻辑为核心构建应急指挥系统的设计方法,解决了智能分析辅助指挥的关键问题。     

Application of magnetoelastic sensors for quantifying sediment deposition rates and sizes

This paper describes the application of magnetoelastic sensors for quantifying the size and deposition rate of sediment samples in costal areas, lakes, and rivers. The magnetoelastic sensor, which is made of inexpensive amorphous ferromagnetic alloy, measures parameters of interest by tracking the changes in its resonant frequency and/or amplitude. Since an increase in mass loading on the sensor surface changes its resonant frequency and amplitude, the deposition rate of sediment particles can be determined in real time by tracking these two quantities. Based on a theoretical model, the size distribution of the sediment particles was also estimated from the deposition rate.

Using enriched stable isotope technique to study Cu bioaccumulation and bioavailability in Corbicula fluminea from Taihu Lake,China

In this study, we measured trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in water and sediment from representative sites of Taihu Lake, with focus on the analysis of trace metal accumulation in Corbicula fluminea (bivalve). The results showed that the quality of water in Taihu Lake was generally good and the correlation was not found between Cu bioaccumulation in C. fluminea and the concentration in water and sediment. Thus, using the stable isotope tracer method, we studied Cu uptake from the water phase, the assimilation of Cu from the food phase, and the efflux of Cu in vivo by C. fluminea. The result revealed that this species exhibited a relatively lower efflux rate constant of Cu compared with other zoobenthos species. Using a simple bioenergetics-based kinetic model, Cu concentrations in the C. fluminea were calculated with the measured efflux rate. We put forward a novel method, which was taking the influence of biological kinetic on metal bioaccumulation into account to explain the field survey data.     

An integrated simulation and optimization approach for managing human health risks of atmospheric pollutants by coal-fired power plants

This research developed a simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM). This model incorporated the consideration of pollutant dispersion modeling, and the management of coal blending and the related human health risks within a general modeling framework. In SNPM, the simulation effort (i.e., California puff [CALPUFF]) was used to forecast the fate of air pollutants for quantifying the health risk under various conditions, while the optimization studies were to identify the optimal coal blending strategies from a number of alternatives. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach was proposed, where the support vector regression (SVR) was used to create a set of easy-to-use and rapid-response surrogates for identifying the function relationships between coal-blending operating conditions and health risks. Through replacing the CALPUFF and the corresponding hazard quotient equation with the surrogates, the computation efficiency could be improved. The developed SNPM was applied to minimize the human health risk associated with air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicated that it could be used for reducing the health risk of the public in the vicinity of the two power plants, identifying desired coal blending strategies for decision makers, and considering a proper balance between coal purchase cost and human health risk.

Implications:A simulation-aided nonlinear programming model (SNPM) is developed. It integrates the advantages of CALPUFF and nonlinear programming model. To solve the model, a surrogate-based indirect search approach based on the combination of support vector regression and genetic algorithm is proposed. SNPM is applied to reduce the health risk caused by air pollutants discharged from Gaojing and Shijingshan power plants in the west of Beijing. Solution results indicate that it is useful for generating coal blending schemes, reducing the health risk of the public, reflecting the trade-off between coal purchase cost and health risk.     

Estimating dissolved reactive phosphorus concentration in surface runoff water from major Ontario soils

Phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural land in surface runoff can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. This study was conducted to evaluate a range of environmental and agronomic soil P tests as indicators of potential soil surface runoff dissolved reactive P (DRP) losses from Ontario soils. The soil samples (0- to 20-cm depth) were collected from six soil series in Ontario, with 10 sites each to provide a wide range of soil test P (STP) values. Rainfall simulation studies were conducted following the USEPA National P Research Project protocol. The average DRP concentration (DRP30) in runoff water collected over 30 min after the start of runoff increased (p < 0.001) in either a linear or curvilinear manner with increases in levels of various STPs and estimates of degree of soil P saturation (DPS). Among the 16 measurements of STPs and DPSs assessed, DPS(M3) 2 (Mehlich-3 P/[Mehlich-3 Al + Fe]) (r2 = 0.90), DPS(M3)-3 (Mehlich-3 P/Mehlich-3 Al) (r2 = 0.89), and water-extractable P (WEP) (r2 = 0.89) had the strongest overall relationship with runoff DRP30 across all six soil series. The DPS(M3)-2 and DPS(M3)-3 were equally accurate in predicting runoff DRP30 loss. However, DPS(M3)-3 was preferred as its prediction of DRP30 was soil pH insensitive and simpler in analytical procedure, ifa DPS approach is adopted.     

CO2 capture from hot stove gas in steel making process

The capture of CO₂ from a hot stove gas in steel making process containing 30 vol% CO₂ by chemical absorption in a rotating packed bed (RPB) was studied. The RPB had an inner diameter of 7.6 cm, an outer diameter of 16 cm, and a height of 2 cm. The aqueous solutions containing 30 wt% of single and mixed monoethanolamine (MEA), 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethanol (AEEA), and piperazine (PZ) were used. The CO₂ capture efficiency was found to increase with increasing temperature in a range of 303–333 K. It was also found to be more dependent on gas and liquid flow rates but less dependent on rotating speed when the speed was higher than 700 rpm. The obtained results indicated that the mixed alkanolamine solutions containing PZ were more effective than the single alkanolamine solutions. This was attributed to the highest reaction rate of PZ with CO₂. A higher portion of PZ in the mixture was more favorable to CO₂ capture. The highest gas flow rates allowed to achieve a desired CO₂ capture efficiency and the correspondent height of transfer unit (HTU) were determined at different aqueous solution flow rates. Because all the 30 wt% single and mixed alkanolamine solutions could result in a HTU less than 5.0 cm at a liquid flow rate of 100 mL/min, chemical absorption in a RPB instead of a packed bed adsorber is therefore suggested to capture CO₂ from the flue gases in steel making processes.
