2000—2015年江汉平原农田生态系统NPP时空变化特征

基于MODIS数据和VPM（Vegetation Photosynthesis Model）模型估算2000—2015年江汉平原农田NPP,利用空间自相关和Sen趋势分析方法,分析16年间江汉平原农田NPP的时空变化特征及其影响因素。结果表明：（1）江汉平原农田年均NPP在2000—2005年呈上升趋势,2005—2009年呈波动性下降趋势,2009—2015年呈上升趋势;农田年NPP总量在2000—2015年整体上趋于平稳。（2）高中低产田面积占比分别为66.03%、27.04%和6.93%。2000—2015年NPP具有很强的空间聚集性且呈逐年增强趋势,并随空间距离增加聚集性减弱;江汉平原NPP主要呈高—高聚集和低—低聚集特征。（3）江汉平原农田NPP显著上升、无显著变化和显著下降区域面积分别占1.30%、69.50%和29.20%。     

煤制甲醇循环水系统中块状污垢的分析和控制

煤制甲醇厂的循环冷却水系统中因轻微泄漏出现泡沫和微小块状污垢,取样后通过光学显微观察、扫描电镜和化学显色分析表明,该污垢主要为细菌纤维素,并采用微生物学分离手段获得1株优势菌。经16S rDNA基因序列及BIOLOG碳源利用分析表明,该菌为木葡糖酸醋杆菌(Gluconacetobacter xylinus)。甲醇浓度和pH值对该菌产纤维素能力影响较大,甲醇浓度为15~25 mL/L时产纤维素最强,pH值为8~9时纤维素产量仅为pH值5.0时的50%。当与其他甲醇降解菌共同生长时,由于竞争性排除、生态位争夺等作用,该菌产纤维素能力下降超过37.9%。该发现为生物法控制煤制甲醇循环冷却水系统中的纤维素污垢提供科学依据。     

Preparation of metal-doped Cu–Mn/HTS-1 catalysts and their mechanisms in efficient degradation of toluene

In order to study their synergistic catalytic effects in toluene degradation, CuMn_2O_4/HTS-1(HTS-1 was a titanium silicon molecular sieve), Cu_(0.7)Mn_2Y_(0.3)O_x/HTS-1 and Cu_(0.7)Mn_2Ce_(0.3)O_x/HTS-1 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method.The textural properties, redox properties and acidity of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), H_2 temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),frustrated total internal reflection(FT-IR), ammonium temperature-programmed desorption(NH_3-TPD) and pyridine adsorption internal reflection(Py-IR) measurements.The potential roles of Lewis acid sites(activating dioxygen) were discussed, and the experimental results indicated that the most efficient route for toluene degradation over Cu_(0.7)Mn_2Ce_(0.3)O_x/HTS-1(toluene conversion rate of 90%(T99) = 295℃) was ascribed to regulation of the synergistic effects of redox properties(activating molecular toluene) and Lewis acid sites(activating dioxygen).The Mars–Van–Krevelen(MVK) model was adopted to describe the reaction process of toluene oxidation, which gave an in-depth view into the toluene degradation over CuMn_2O_4/HTS-1, Cu_(0.7)Mn_2Y_(0.3)O_x/HTS-1 and Cu_(0.7)Mn_2Ce_(0.3)O_x/HTS-1.In addition, the synergistic effects between redox properties and Lewis acid sites were studied in detail.

Air pollution and its control in China

The rapid growth of China’s economy has led to severe air pollution characterized by acid rain, severe pollution in cities, and regional air pollution. High concentrations are found for various pollutants such as sulfur dioxides (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NO_x), and fine particulates. Great efforts have thus been undertaken for the control of air pollution in the country. This paper discusses the development and application of appropriate technologies for reducing the major pollutants produced by coal and vehicles, and investigates air quality modeling as an important support for policy-making.     

Incorporating cleaner production analysis into environmental impact assessment in china

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) system was established in 1979 in China. Although EIA was designed as a tool for pollution prevention, in practice it has been based on end-of-pipe (EOP) treatment control since it was first introduced. This approach has ensured an overwhelming focus by enterprises on the use of EOP treatment, rather than pollution prevention, to meet environmental standards, and it has produced a low rate of operation for EOP facilities. The low operation rate for EOP facilities can be traced to the traditional EIA system: it leads project proponents to develop large EOP treatment facilities, but once the main production lines are put into operation, proponents rarely have sufficient funds to operate the treatment facilities. This paper analyzes problems that exist in the EIA system in China, and it describes the Cleaner Production Index and Evaluation System, which is being proposed by environmental authorities in China to evaluate EIA projects based on cleaner production criteria. The paper also suggests how cleaner production analysis can be integrated into the EIA system to improve it.     

Automatic imitation of risky behavior: a study of simulated driving in china

Objective: Imitation of risky behaviors among drivers is a potentially dangerous threat to driving safety but is infrequently discussed in the existing literature. To enrich the understanding of drivers' imitation behaviors on the road, 2 experiments were designed for a simulated traffic environment. Methods: Safe and risky behaviors were demonstrated by model vehicles separately in the 2 experiments, and imitation behaviors of the participants were observed and analyzed. Results: From experiment 1 it was found that the following distance of participants (measured in time headway) was affected by the distance demonstrated by other vehicles on the road. The influence was stronger when the speed was low, and the participants imitated both risky and safe behavior models. When the speed was high, the participants tended to only learn safe behaviors. In experiment 2, when approaching yellow lights, it was examined whether a driver's decision (pass or stop) would be affected by the behavior of another vehicle (the model vehicle), which was designed to either pass through or stop at the intersection. When the model vehicle ran the yellow light, 65 percent of the participants did the same, even though they were 30?m behind the model vehicle. In contrast, if the model vehicle stopped at the intersection, only 25 percent of the participants decided to pass. Conclusions: It was found that both novice and experienced participants had the tendency to imitate what they saw but were rarely aware of the influence by other drivers in both scenarios.
