模拟酸雨对森林红壤中铝的溶出及不同土层酸度变化的影响

为进一步探明酸沉降对森林红壤及生态环境的影响，模拟长沙地区降水酸度及离子组成，采用浸泡试验对两种森林红壤活性铝的释出及土壤理化性质的变化进行了研究。结果表明，模拟酸雨浸泡初期，土壤活性铝的释出量随浸泡次数的增加而增加，原始土壤pH值愈低，活性铝释出愈多；强酸度、高离子浓度（AR4）模拟酸雨对土壤中活性铝的溶出量远大于基础酸雨（AR3）及弱酸、低离子浓度酸雨（AR2）和对照酸雨（AR1）。模拟酸雨酸度愈大，对土壤pH值的影响愈明显，不同土层间，以A层土壤pH值下降最明显，B、C层土壤则下降较小。模拟酸雨模拟浸泡土壤25年后，土壤阳离子交换量均有不同程度下降，有机质含量高，原土壤阳离子交换量大的土壤下降幅度也大。     

高锰酸钾缓释剂的制备及其性能研究

利用油相相分离法微胶囊技术,以硬脂酸为壳物质,制备高锰酸钾缓释剂,通过条件优化实验,确定最佳工艺条件为:壳核比值为3∶1、搅拌速度450 r/min以及超声时间为10 min。所制的高锰酸钾缓释剂包覆率为163.3%,在水中缓释行为符合Q=0.00518×t0.611(R2=0.9951)动力学方程,理论缓释期为229.4 d,具有较好的缓释效果。对高锰酸钾缓释剂进行红外光谱和环境电镜扫描分析,结果表明,成膜前后硬脂酸的结构发生改变,硬脂酸对高锰酸钾的微胶囊化不是简单的物理吸附,而是通过化学键合包覆在高锰酸钾表面。     

滴水湖底泥内源营养盐释放行为与曝气运行模式的关系

以滴水湖上覆水及底泥为研究对象,探讨了不同曝气运行模式对滴水湖底泥内源营养盐释放行为的影响,为曝气原位修复滴水湖等滨海盐碱化地区富营养化人工湖泊提供技术参考。结果表明,曝气能有效降低滴水湖上覆水体NH+4-N浓度,但此类滩涂底泥中较高的盐度能促进内源NH+4-N的释放并抑制硝化作用,使其NH+4-N削减率明显低于城市重污染河道;静置组TP浓度有所升高,而间歇曝气组及连续曝气组TP削减率分别为63.6%和38.5%,说明间歇曝气能有效降低上覆水体中的TP浓度;与曝气修复城市重污染河道相比,滴水湖较高的盐度及pH不利于TN去除,其中间歇曝气组对上覆水TN的控制优于连续曝气组与静置组;间歇曝气运行模式更适合于滴水湖等滨海盐碱化地区富营养化人工湖泊的底泥修复。     

人工湿地植物泌氧与污染物降解耗氧关系研究

实验采用静态水培方法研究了香蒲(Typha orientalis)、芦苇(Phragmites australis)和水葱(Scirpus validus)3种常见湿地水生植物潜在泌氧能力、去污效果,并对水生植物泌氧量与污染物降解耗氧量进行了计算分析,从而阐明湿地植物泌氧与污染物降解耗氧之间的关系。结果表明,3种植物泌氧能力由大到小依次为:芦苇香蒲水葱,其中,芦苇比放氧速率、面积泌氧率均最高,分别为3.36 mg O2/(g.d)和4.35 g O2/(m2.d)。植物对湿地系统中污染物的去除有重要影响,各植物系统COD去除速率在3.46~3.77 g/(m2.d)之间;NH4+-N去除速率在0.07~0.13 g/(m2.d);TN去除速率在0.25~0.27 g/(m2.d);TP去除速率均为0.09 g/(m2.d);均好于无植物空白系统。计算表明,各植物体系泌氧量在0.48~0.55 g O2/d之间;各植物体系COD、NH4+-N耗氧量在0.41~0.46 g O2/d之间;植物净泌氧量在0.02~0.12 g O2/d之间。植物泌氧量与COD、NH4+-N耗氧量呈显著正相关关系。若应用人工湿地处理城镇生活污水,各植物体系COD最大去除负荷在3.81~4.35 g/(m2.d)之间,NH4+-N最大去除负荷在0.83~0.95 g/(m2.d)之间,最大水力负荷在1.65~1.89 cm/d之间。     

模拟酸雨对工业污染场地表层土壤中多环芳烃释放的影响

通过工业污染场地表层土壤的模拟酸雨浸泡试验,分析了不同酸度的模拟酸雨浸泡前后土壤中有机质、EPA优先控制的16种多环芳烃含量和矿物质组成的变化.研究结果表明,酸雨浸泡前后土壤矿物相组成相似,主要以石英为主,只是在矿物组成的量上存在差别,浸泡后土壤中赤铁矿和粘土矿物的含量较浸泡前有所减少.模拟酸雨浸泡后土壤中有机质和多环芳烃均有不同程度的释放,酸雨pH值越小,释放量越大,且多环芳烃可能是随着有机质一起释放的;酸雨对土壤中不同性质多环芳烃释放的影响不同,对低环多环芳烃（环数≤3）释放的影响较大,对高环多环芳烃（环数≥4）影响较小.研究结果为理解在酸雨作用下工业污染场地土壤中多环芳烃的释放规律及土壤中多环芳烃稳定性研究提供一些科学依据.

通过连续测定上覆水体中氮、磷的浓度,考察氮磷元素的释放过程和污染物在底泥中的污染水平。结果表明,扰动使得氮磷的释放有一定程度的增加,可见外在环境条件的变化可加速底泥氮磷元素的释放;湿地不同样点控制区底泥氮磷释放的空间变异性高;底泥氮磷释放对水体养分浓度的贡献不容忽视。     

三峡库区消落带受淹土壤氮和磷释放的模拟实验

三峡库区消落带形成后,消落带土壤淹水初期将向上覆水释放氮和磷. 将消落带土壤样品进行加肥处理后与原始土壤进行模拟淹水实验.对原始土壤进行每日换水浸泡实验.结果表明:消落带进入淹水期10～15 d后,其上覆水中营养物含量趋于平衡,水体扰动对上覆水中ρ(TP)和ρ(TN)有正影响. 未经施肥处理的消落带土壤在江水浸泡下,对TP有吸附作用,使得浸泡结束后ρ(TP)下降33.4%. TN的溶出速率变化能较好地符合一级动力学方程,TP江水静态浸泡实验数据对一级动力学方程的拟合性较差;TP和TN的绝对溶出速率对一级动力学方程的相关性均较好.       

Characteristics and removal mechanism of the precursors of N-chloro-2,2-dichloroacetamide in a drinking water treatment process at Taihu Lake

• N-Cl-DCAM, an emerging N-DBP in drinking water was investigated. • A new BAC has a better removal efficiency for N-Cl-DCAM precursors than an old BAC. • N-Cl-DCAM precursors are more of low molecular weight and non-polar. • Adsorption of GAC plays a major role in removal of N-Cl-DCAM precursors by an O₃-BAC. N-chloro-2,2-dichloroacetamide (N-Cl-DCAM) is an emerging nitrogenous disinfection by-product (N-DBP) which can occur in drinking water. In this study, an analytical method based on liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed to validate the concentration of N-Cl-DCAM, which was found to be 1.5 mg/L in the effluent of a waterworks receiving raw water from Taihu Lake, China. The changes of N-Cl-DCAM formation potential (N-Cl-DCAMFP) in the drinking water treatment process and the removal efficiency of its precursors in each unit were evaluated. Non-polar organics accounted for the majority of N-Cl-DCAM precursors, accounting for 70% of the N-Cl-DCAM FP. The effect of conventional water treatment processes on the removal of N-Cl-DCAM precursors was found to be unsatisfactory due to their poor performance in the removal of low molecular weight (MW) or non-polar organics. In the ozonation integrated with biological activated carbon (O₃-BAC) process, the ozonation had little influence on the decrease of N-Cl-DCAM FP. The removal efficiency of precursors by a new BAC filter, in which the granular activated carbon (GAC) had only been used for four months was higher than that achieved by an old BAC filter in which the GAC had been used for two years. The different removal efficiencies of precursors were mainly due to the different adsorption capacities of GAC for individual precursors. Low MW or non-polar organics were predominantly removed by GAC, rather than biodegradation by microorganisms attached to GAC particles.     

Study on accidental fire at a large-scale floating-roof gasoline storage tank

For an accident involving a large-scale internal floating-roof tank with 28.4 m diameter and filled with 4600 m³ gasoline, the actual behavior of the gasoline fire and the fire-fighting strategies that were applied to it were analyzed in terms of the heat release rate, burning rate, and regression rate. During the accident, the initial fire suppression strategy failed and the gasoline was moved to an external tank. A total of 2800 m³ gasoline was burned for 17 h with a resulting heat release rate of 1475 MW. The long duration of the fire burning was attributed to the burning surface of the gasoline, which was not covered with foam at the beginning of the fire using the active foam fire-extinguishing system due to damage to one of the foam chambers. The average regression rate of the gasoline was 0.16 m/h after 8 h of burning and 0.35 m/h when the fire was completely suppressed.     

Ground influence on high-pressure methane jets: Practical tools for risk assessment

High-pressure gaseous methane release is a relevant safety-related problem mainly in the Oil and Gas industry. As well documented, the reason for these safety concerns is connected with the severe consequences of the domino effect subsequent to the possible ignition. In risk assessment activities, estimation of the damage area is of primary importance in order to draw up proper safety guidelines. To do this, loss prevention specialists use quick and well-established numerical tools (i.e., integral models) in their daily activities. However, the presence of an obstacle in the flow field of the jet (e.g., the ground) is a more probable situation to deal with. It is known that integral models fail in this kind of scenario, leading to unreliable predictions. Hence, the present work investigates how an industrial ground surface influences the LFL cloud size of a horizontal high-pressure methane jet. An innovative quick procedure is proposed allowing to determine the height below which the ground begins to influence the LFL cloud size and the extent of such influence. Therefore, this procedure allows practitioners to establish when integral models can be used and when not to use them, and also provides a simple and reliable alternative to their use. These analytical instruments are derived from an extensive computational fluid dynamics analysis performed with Ansys Fluent 19.0.
