厌氧-好氧接触氧化处理汽车脱脂废水研究

采用厌氧UASB-好氧接触氧化工艺对汽车脱脂废水进行连续处理实验研究。结果表明,在脱脂废水进水COD浓度为6 000 mg/L,厌氧水力停留时间为3.4 d,好氧水力停留时间为2.5 d条件下,COD总去除率平均为93%,厌氧段平均值为38%。厌氧段可以提高出水的可生化性,厌氧-好氧接触氧化工艺效果要明显优于好氧工艺。

国际海洋保护区可持续性融资研究进展

本文以国际海洋保护区的各类融资渠道为出发点,从海洋保护区可持续性融资的理论框架、融资可持续的机制优选和技术保障、海洋保护区管理与可持续融资的关系,以及世界各地海洋保护区可持续性融资及评估的案例研究等方面,对20世纪90年代以来有关海洋保护区可持续性融资问题的国际研究文献进行梳理,并结合相关研究成果对海洋保护区可持续融资的关键点进行总结。可持续发展视角下的海洋保护区融资主要体现出以下特点:其一,环境介质影响、所辖区域海洋资源空间分布、生物运动和物质能量循环以及海洋生态系统沿海和大洋的两性特征等因素,导致的陆海保护区资金需求差异,决定了海洋保护区融资机制选择和融资运作有着不同于陆地生态系统和陆地保护区的特征。其二,国际海洋保护区区位、资源禀赋以及区域社会文化背景等的差异,决定了各海洋保护区的可持续融资并无一个统一的可资套用的模式,因此,开展对海洋保护区可持续性融资的本土化研究和区域性评估,应成为各保护区探索适合本区域特征的融资体系的自然选择。     

江苏省农业面源污染与经济增长关系的实证

运用基于VAR模型的脉冲响应函数和方差分解的方法,考察了江苏省1990-2007年农业面源污染与经济增长的动态演进关系。研究结果表明:①经济增长是影响江苏省农业面源污染的重要原因,农业面源污染的环境库兹涅茨曲线规律在一定程度上得到验证;②农业面源污染对江苏省经济增长的影响不明显,且具有一定滞后效应;③方差分解结果显示人均GDP是解释农业面源预测方差的重要变量,而农业面源污染对经济增长的预测方差贡献度则相对较小。因此,我们要充分关注江苏省经济快速增长对农业环境质量恶化所带来的负面影响。同时,为了充分体现农业面源污染对江苏省经济增长的反作用,其关键前提是必须要对农业面源污染所导致的负外部效应进行清晰的界定,以及建立一个有效、完善的农业资源配置、污染权的市场交易机制,以充分发挥资源约束和环境恶化对涉农微观经济主体投资、生产和消费行为的影响,进而对经济增长形成反作用。     

可持续消费的三维伦理向度

20世纪以来,一系列具有全球性质的资源、环境、人口等问题日益凸显,人类经济社会的发展面临着严重的困境。无论是从人和自然的关系或是从人的全面发展角度,还是从消费的公平性角度来分析,纵欲享乐的消费主义方式都有很多无法回避的罪责,它不仅不利于人的全面发展,加剧人与自然的矛盾,而且激化了人与人之间的社会矛盾。正是通过对工业文明消费观的反思和批判,可持续消费伦理应运而生。可持续消费通过控制自身的消费保护资源、降低污染强度实现了人与自然共生共荣的伦理目标;通过节制过分的物质欲望、追求精神生活的完善增进了人与社会全面发展的伦理关怀;通过正确处理人类自身的当前利益和长远利益的关系、局部利益与整体利益关系强化了人与人和谐共处的伦理责任,可持续消费所具有的三维伦理向度,使其作为一种区别于传统消费方式的全新的消费方式和消费理念,成为人类应对危机理性的自觉和在新的历史发展时期的时代要求。     

New Development in Study of the Faustmann Optimal Forest Harvesting

Chinese forest resources have become very scarce in the face of rapid economic growth demand, while the reform of collective forest right system is in full swing across the country. It will directly affect the regeneration level of forest resources and the diverse ecological value functions. In this article, the mainstream model paradigm of forest economics, that is, the basic framework of the Faustmann model and its evolution process are made in a more detailed explanation, especially the extended model in...     

喀斯特生态治理区可持续发展能力评价——以贵州毕节鸭池、遵义龙坪、沿河淇滩示范区为例

为检验喀斯特生态治理区的治理效果,以贵州省毕节鸭池、遵义龙坪、沿河淇滩3个示范区为例,从资源承载力、环境支持力、人口发展与支持能力、经济发展能力、社会发展能力5个方面,选择45个单项指标,建立评价指标体系,采用“纵横向”拉开档次动态综合评价法,评价3个示范区2005、2007年的可持续发展能力。结果显示：空间上看,龙坪示范区的可持续发展能力最好,鸭池示范区次之,淇滩示范区最差;时间上对比,龙坪示范区和淇滩示范区的发展能力2007年比2005年有所提高,〖JP2〗鸭池示范区稍有退步。根据各示范区的主要人 地矛盾,提出控制人口、优化配置水土资源、加大林牧产业比重等对策,以提高其可持续发展能力,并为同类地区的可持续发展提供借鉴。     

An improved method to study the impact of pesticide sprays on small song birds

Abstract

Four test groups of small songbirds (Zebra Finch, Poephila guttata) were sprayed in a chamber with varying concentrations of fenitrothion. Exposure levels were assessed by monitoring air concentrations, deposits of the active ingredient (AI) on glass plates and droplets/cm² on Kromekote® cards. All indices of exposure were linearly correlated and the mean AI deposit on glass plates for the four groups tested were equivalent to 38, 51, 139 and 255 g/ha or 14%, 18%, 50% and 91% of the highest permissible emitted rate for broadscale forest spraying in Canada. Significant depression in body weights and brain acetylcholinesterase levels were noted only for the highest exposure group. Fenitrothion residues in blood were detectable only at the highest exposure level, and in liver at the two higher levels. Carcass and feather residues were much higher than those in blood and liver, and were detectable at all exposure levels but the residues did not increase linearly with exposure. For one of the spray groups, we were able to compute an equivalent acute oral dose based on matching acetylcholinesterase inhibition.     

Distribution and temporal trend of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in one Shanghai municipal landfill, China

The scarcity of information on polybrominated diphenyl ethers’ (PBDEs) flow in landfill restricts the life cycle analysis of PBDEs. In this study, eight PBDE congeners (BDEs 28, 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, 183, and 209) in topsoil, vegetation leaves, leachate, and municipal aged refuse collected from Shanghai Laogang Municipal Landfill (SLML) were investigated. The present study revealed elevated PBDE concentrations in topsoil and proved PBDE leakage from SLML and vegetation uptake. BDE-209 was the predominant congener, and this could be due to massive usage of deca-BDE mixture in Shanghai. ΣPBDE concentrations in leachates treated by reed wetland and A²/O process fell in the low end of the worldwide range. ΣPBDE concentrations in aged refuse samples rose from under 50 ng/g dw in 1989 to the range of 5,150–5,718 ng/g dw in 2002. PBDE concentrations increase in aged refuse samples throughout the 1990s into the 2000s paralleled municipal solid waste output from 1991 to 2002 in Shanghai. Exponential increase in BDE-209 concentration in aged refuse suggested the increasing market demands for deca-BDE mixture after 1990 in China. Notably, the inventory of PBDEs in SLML was 28.7 MT, and the doubling time of BDE-209 in aged refuse was calculated to be 1.6 year. SLML can be considered as a source of PBDE and one main recipient of PBDE as well, receiving inputs predominantly from the PBDE-containing waste. Priority should be given to formulate regulation on PBDEs and sorting work before landfill disposal.     

Fenton-like degradation of nalidixic acid with Fe3+/H2O2

The Fenton-like degradation of nalidixic acid was studied in this work. The effects of Fe³⁺ concentration and initial H₂O₂ concentration were investigated. Increasing the initial H₂O₂ concentration enhances the degradation and mineralization efficiency for nalidixic acid, while Fe³⁺ shows an optimal concentration of 0.25 mM. A complete removal of nalidixic acid and a TOC removal of 28 % were achieved in 60 min under a reaction condition of [Fe³⁺]?=?0.25 mM, [H₂O₂]?=?10 mM, T?=?35 °C, and pH?=?3. LC–MS analysis technique was used to analyze the possible degradation intermediates. The degradation pathways of nalidixic acid were proposed according to the identified intermediates and the electron density distribution of nalidixic acid. The Fenton-like degradation reaction of nalidixic acid mainly begins with the electrophilic attack of hydroxyl radical towards the C₃ position which results in the ring-opening reaction; meanwhile, hydroxyl radical attacking to the branched alkyl groups of nalidixic acid leads to the oxidation at the branched alkyl groups.
