URBANIZATION AND STREAM QUALITY IMPAIRMENT1

ABSTRACT: A study was conducted in the Piedmont province of Maryland to determine if a relationship exists between stream quality and the extent of watershed urbanization. During the first phase of the study 27 small watersheds, having similar characteristics but varied according to land use, were investigated. Using these controlled conditions, eliminating as many interferences as possible, this first phase was intended to determine if a definite relationship did exist between the two factors. Finding that the first phase was successful the second was initiated which consisted of a comparison of biological sampling data, from other studies, with degree of watershed urbanization. The purpose of this second phase was to ascertain if the relationship between degrees of urbanization and decline in stream quality was linear as watershed area increased and in streams spread throughout the Maryland Piedmont. The principal finding of this study was that stream quality impairment is first evidenced when watershed imperviousness reaches 12%, but does not become severe until imperviousness reaches 30%.

采用超滤装置对纳滤浓缩液的腐殖质组成及分子量分布特性进行分析。研究结果表明:纳滤浓缩液中TOC(总有机碳)主要以腐殖质为主,约占总TOC含量的82%,腐殖质中以FA(富里酸)为主,约占总TOC的72.2%,HA(胡敏酸)含量较低,仅占9.8%。逐级超滤分离实验表明,纳滤浓缩液中有51.3%的腐殖质分子量小于1 k Da,大于10 k Da仅占3.45%;FA主要以分子量<1 k Da的小分子有机物为主,HA则主要集中在3 k Da以上。     

苯胺黑药高效降解菌(Bacillus vallismortis)胞外聚合物去除重金属的研究

微生物胞外聚合物(Extracellular Polymeric Substances,EPS)在废水中重金属的吸附去除过程中起着非常重要的作用.苯胺黑药高效降解菌(Bacillus vallismortis)对苯胺黑药有良好的降解能力,但对其吸附重金属的性能研究还不充分.因此,本文采用3种方法提取苯胺黑药高效降解菌的EPS,主要考察了p H、温度、底物浓度和时间对重金属去除效果的影响.结果表明,热提法提取的效率较高;p H对金属离子吸附影响很大,当p H7时,随着p H变大吸附量逐渐升高,而温度对吸附量影响不大.EPS对Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)的去除为快速表面吸附过程,在第8 min时对Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)的去除率分别达到了90.7%、52.3%,EPS对Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)的吸附表观上符合拟二级动力学规律.在单一体系中,根据Langmuir方程计算出EPS对Cu~(2+)的最大吸附量为2.155 mg·mg-1,对Zn~(2+)的最大吸附量为0.508 mg·mg-1;Cu~(2+)吸附过程与Freundlich方程拟合效果较好,Zn~(2+)吸附过程与Langmuir方程拟合效果较好.红外光谱分析结果表明,EPS表面的羟基、氨基、酰胺基团、羧基和C—O—C基团都参与了吸附,且Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)的吸附位点基本一致,本文的研究结果对工程实践具有一定的理论指导意义.     

Research on the prediction of dangerous goods accidents during highway transportation based on the ARMA model

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused a lack of data on highway transportation accidents involving dangerous goods in China in the first quarter of 2020, and this lack of data has seriously affected research on highway transportation accidents involving dangerous goods. This study strives to compensate for this lack to a certain extent and reduce the impact of missing data on research of dangerous goods transportation accidents. Data pertaining to 2340 dangerous goods accidents in the process of highway transportation in China from 2013 to 2019 are obtained with webpage crawling software. In this paper, the number of monthly highway transportation accidents involving dangerous goods from 2013 to 2019 is determined, and the time series of transportation accidents and an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) prediction model are established. The prediction accuracy of the model is evaluated based on the actual number of dangerous goods highway transportation accidents in China from 2017 to 2019. The results indicate that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) between the actual and predicted values of dangerous goods highway transportation accidents from 2017 to 2019 is 0.147, 0.315 and 0.29. Therefore, the model meets the prediction accuracy requirements. Then, the prediction model is applied to predict the number of dangerous goods transportation accidents in the first quarter of 2020 in China. Twenty-two accidents are predicted in January, 23 accidents in February and 27 accidents in March. The results provide a reference for the study of dangerous goods transportation accidents and the formulation of accident prevention and emergency measures.

Volatile substances in the pygidial secretion of gyrinid beetles (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae)

Summary Gyrinid beetles are common in freshwater habitats. They have paired pygidial glands with a secretion that contains high molecular weight substances rendering them toxic for predatory fish. In this paper we report on a laboratory study on volatile components released by three different gyrinid species when irritated. The volatile pattern had a clear difference between the different species.Gyrinus substriatus andG. aeratus, both produced 3-methyl-1-butanal and 3-methyl-1-butanol when irritated, but in quite different amounts. The third tested species,G. minutus, did not produce any substances above the detection level. It is suggested that the volatile compounds may be part of the beetles' communication and/or defence system.

Physicochemical factors affecting the sensitivity of Ceriodaphnia dubia to copper

The effects of physicochemical conditions, such as pH, water hardness, flow rates and natural organic substances on the sensitivity of Ceriodaphnia dubia to the toxic effects of copper were investigated using static bioassay cups and specially designed flow-through bioassay chambers. We found that C.dubia was very sensitive to pH changes and the total copper LC50 values of C. dubia neonates increased by 15-fold as the pH increased from pH 7 to 10. It was also observed that the LC50 values increased sharply upon increasing the water hardness value to 2.4 meq. In addition, increasing flow rates from zeroto 50 mL hr^-1 also increased its sensitivity to copper, which was possibly due to hydrodynamic stress.The presence of natural organic substances (humic acid and dissolved organic matter) and suspended particles decreased thetoxic effect of copper. This significant decrease in the toxicity of copper in the presence of natural organic materialscan be explained by a reduction in the free ion concentration due to complexation. Furthermore, we observed that the kinetics of copper interactions with natural organic materials are a significant factor in the toxic effect of copper and that the acute LC50 values increased with increasing reaction time betweensolubilized copper and water-borne organics.     

臭氧光催化降解地下水中天然有机物的研究

在现场开展了中试规模的臭氧光催化降解天然有机物的研究。研究表明，对大分子天然有机物占很大比例且重碳酸盐含量较高的地下水，臭氧投加量10mg／L和反应时间10min条件下，TOC的去除率不到20％，但uV254和三卤甲烷生成潜力（THMFP）去除率分别达到近60％和33．5％。臭氧光催化与活性炭吸附相连，能显著提高UV254的THMFP的去除率，但TOC去除率并不明显高于单独活性炭吸附。臭氧光催化使大分子有机物转化为小分子有机物，后者在活性炭上的吸附性提高且生化性改善，可望在生物活性炭上更有效地去除。
