Effect of pyrolysis temperature and hold time on the characteristic parameters of adsorbent derived from sewage sludge

According to the Doehlert‘s matrix method, the adsorbent derived from sewage sludge was prepared through chemical activation under controlling the pyrolysis temperature and hold time. The characteristic parameters including the total yield, adsorption of methylene blue, adsorption of iodine, BET surface area, micro-pore volume are 35%-49%, ]6..5--38 mg/g, 28.5--362 mg/g, 18.5--359 m^2/g, and 0.112--0.224 m^3/g, respectively. According to the experimental data, the multi-linear regression method was adopted to fit the relations between the characteristic parameters and influential factors. At final, through optimization method, the optimal adsorbent is obtained when using 62 min as hold time and 1105K as pyrolysis temperature. Under the conditions, the adsorbent was produced and compared the characteristic parameters with model forecast value, the coherence is satisfied.     

有机磷农药污染对金龟子幼虫呼吸强度的影响

有机磷农药对金龟子幼虫呼吸强度影响的实验研究表明,金龟子幼虫对有机磷农药污染的反应十分敏感,4种有机磷农药处理组动物呼吸强度均明显大于对照组,并且由于不同种农药的毒性不同,对呼吸强度影响的程度也明显不同,其中以甲胺磷影响最大,灭杀毙最小,呼吸强度分别为4.9528mL/g·h和2.1557mL/g·h。染毒历时和农药浓度的影响则表现为随染毒时间的延长和农药浓度的降低,动物呼吸强度逐渐减弱。     

水力停留时间对曝气生物滤池处理效能及运行特性的影响

通过实验室模型试验研究了曝气生物滤池处理模拟生活污水的效能,分析了水力停留时间(HRT)变化对曝气生物滤池处理效果及运行特性的影响规律。研究发现,当HRT大于0.6h时,曝气生物滤池具有良好的有机物和浊度的去除效果,而当HRT为0．4h时,处理效果则显著下降;反应器的硝化反硝化脱氮能力受HRT的影响比较明显,缩短HRT将使氨氮和总氮去除率迅速下降,当HRT为1.25h时,氨氮和总氮去除率分别达到70%和40％以上;缩短HRT会在一定程度上促进亚硝酸盐积累现象的发生。而反应器的过滤周期则与HRT呈明显的线性关系。

Incorporating detectability of threatened species into environmental impact assessment

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a key mechanism for protecting threatened plant and animal species. Many species are not perfectly detectable and, even when present, may remain undetected during EIA surveys, increasing the risk of site‐level loss or extinction of species. Numerous methods now exist for estimating detectability of plants and animals. Despite this, regulations concerning survey protocol and effort during EIAs fail to adequately address issues of detectability. Probability of detection is intrinsically linked to survey effort; thus, minimum survey effort requirements are a useful way to address the risks of false absences. We utilized 2 methods for determining appropriate survey effort requirements during EIA surveys. One method determined the survey effort required to achieve a probability of detection of 0.95 when the species is present. The second method estimated the survey effort required to either detect the species or reduce the probability of presence to 0.05. We applied these methods to Pimelea spinscens subsp. spinescens, a critically endangered grassland plant species in Melbourne, Australia. We detected P. spinescens in only half of the surveys undertaken at sites where it was known to exist. Estimates of the survey effort required to detect the species or demonstrate its absence with any confidence were much higher than the effort traditionally invested in EIA surveys for this species. We argue that minimum survey requirements be established for all species listed under threatened species legislation and hope that our findings will provide an impetus for collecting, compiling, and synthesizing quantitative detectability estimates for a broad range of plant and animal species.

APPLICATION OF INFILTRATION THEORY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF EXCESS RAINFALL HYETOGRAPH1

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to show through the use of numerical examples that modern infiltration theory can be used in everyday hydrologic practice. The actual use of four methods of calculation of infiltration rates and of excess rainfall rates is demonstrated for the case when simultaneous data of rainfall and stream flow are available for a watershed. The four methods are: (1) the well known Π-index method, (2) the traditional Horton's infiltration capacity formula, (3) the less traditional Green and Ampt infiltration capacity formula, and (4) a ponding time approach. It is recommended that hydrologists become at least familiar with the numerical procedures involved in the ponding time and postponding infiltration approach. This approach, though not flawless, should be preferred to the other three methods if use of the other three is at all considered.     

SOME SIMPLE MODELS FOR CONTINUOUS VARIATE TIME SERIES1

ABSTRACT: A survey is given of recently developed models for continuous variate non–Gaussian time series. The emphasis is on marginally specific models with given correlation structure. Exponential, Gamma, Weibull, Laplace, Beta and Mixed Exponential models are considered for the marginal distributions of the stationary time series. Most of the models are random coefficient, additive linear models. Some discussion of the meaning of autoregression and linearity is given, as well as suggestions for higher–order linear residual analysis for non–Gaussian models.     

THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF TIME AND AVERTING EXPENDITURES FOR SAFE DRINKING WATER1

ABSTRACT: A survey of individuals during a Giardia contamination incident provided data to calculate the cost of boiling, hauling, or purchasing water to avoid infection. Three different approaches to the valuation of time were used to assess the implications of the opportunity cost of time for the measurement of averting costs. Mean monthly household averting costs were $33.47 using family income to value time, $13.07 using the minimum wage to value time, and $5.60 using zero opportunity cost of time. Comparisons of the mean costs for different sources and household characteristics indicated the value of time from family income was too high and that the other methods of valuing time were superior.
