葫芦岛市新策力克畜禽养殖污染难题

改革开放以来,葫芦岛市的畜禽养殖业得以迅猛发展,其环境污染问题也日益凸显。大多数规模化畜禽养殖场没有污染治理设施,畜禽粪污未经任何处理即就地排放,水体和空气质量都受到了不同程度的污染。     

Potential particulate pollution derived from UV-induced degradation of odorous dimethyl sulfide

UV-induced degradation of odorous dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was carried out in a static White cell chamber with UV irradiation. The combination of in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), wide-range particle spectrometer (WPS) technique, filter sampling and ion chromatographic (IC) analysis was used to monitor the gaseous and potential particulate products. During 240 min of UV irradiation, the degradation e ciency of DMS attained 20.9%, and partially oxidized sulfur-containing gaseous products, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) were identified by in situ FT-IR and GC-MS analysis, respectively. Accompanying with the oxidation of DMS, suspended particles were directly detected to be formed by WPS techniques. These particles were measured mainly in the size range of accumulation mode, and increased their count median diameter throughout the whole removal process. IC analysis of the filter samples revealed that methanesulfonic acid (MSA), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and other unidentified chemicals accounted for the major non-refractory compositions of these particles. Based on products analysis and possible intermediates formed, the degradation pathways of DMS were proposed as the combination of the O(1D)- and the OH- initiated oxidation mechanisms. A plausible formation mechanism of the suspended particles was also analyzed. It is concluded that UV-induced degradation of odorous DMS is potentially a source of particulate pollutants in the atmosphere.     

Antimicrobial activity of thin metallic silver flakes, waste products of a manufacturing process

The aim of the research was to develop new products and processes from a manufacturing waste from an Italian metallurgic company. The company produced thin silver metallic films and the production scraps were silver flakes. The possibility to use the silver flakes in water disinfection processes was studied. The antimicrobial activity of the flakes was investigated in batch using Escherichia coli as Gram-negative microorganism model. The flakes did not show any antimicrobial activity, so they were activated with two different processes: thermal activation in reducing atmosphere and chemical activation, obtaining, respectively, reduced flakes (RF) and chemical flakes (CF). The flakes, activated with either treatment, showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli. The kill rate was dependent on the type of activated flakes. The chemical flakes were more efficient than reduced flakes. The kill rate determined for 1 g of CF, 1.0 ± 0.2 min⁻¹, was greater than the kill rate determined for 1 g of RF, 0.069 ± 0.004 min⁻¹. This was confirmed also by the minimum inhibitory concentration values. It was demonstrated that the antimicrobial capability was dependent on flakes amount and on the type of aqueous medium. Furthermore, the flakes maintained their properties also when used a second time. Finally, the antimicrobial activities of flakes were tested in an effluent of a wastewater treatment plant where a variety of heterotrophic bacteria were present.     

福禄吉祥与生物安全

再过十来天就是春节了!受几千年传统文化的影响,中国人过年总爱与吉祥、如意和福禄之类的祝福挂钩。文玩市场应该说是许多人在春节前乃至春节期间十分乐意光顾的地方。但最近有媒体报道说,在北京的文玩市场,一直以来很受顾客青睐的手捻儿葫芦(寓意福禄)几乎全是美国品种。     

企业怎能点“绿”成金——读《市场营销3.0:从产品到客户再到心灵》有感

人们常讲,企业可持续发展利己利人。企业点"绿"成金,既可保护环境也可成就自己。这道理听起来很轻松悦耳,但真要落到实处往往困难重重,因为这涉及到市场分析、产品设计、生产管理、市场营销等复杂环节。有些环节的微观机理是不容易陈述清楚的。市场营销便是如此:为何消费者青睐绿色产品?为何企业要在消费群体中塑造负责任的环保形象?传统的市场营销理论并没有对此给出明确解释。营销之父菲利普·科特勒的最新力作《市场营销3.0:从企业到     

建筑能耗与碳排放的系统计量

与建筑相关的能源消耗和温室气体排放在总能源消耗和人为温室气体排放中占有很高的比例。IPCC(政府间气候变化专门委员会)报告指出,建筑部门在2004年造成了全球近30%的二氧化碳排放。美国能源信息署(EIA)则认为,2007年全球能源消耗中约有29%与建筑相关。对中国而言,与建筑相关的能源消耗约占全国商品     

基于能效标杆的城市节能管理新思路

城市作为节能管理的基本行政单元,在国家节能战略和节能政策的实施中起承上启下的作用,而中国城市节能目标的制定缺乏定量分析工具、主观性强。“十一五”期间,地方政府为了完成节能目标,甚至出现了“拉闸限电”、“中止供暖”等极端节能现象,节能的社会成本偏高。另一方面,中国城市能源效率差异巨大。2009年在有观测值的214个城市中,单位GDP能耗平均值为1．43吨标煤／万元,最大的是石嘴山市的6．75吨标煤／万元,是均值的4．7倍;最小的是汕尾市的0．528吨标煤／万元,仅是均值的36．9％。“十二五”期间,为了完成国家节能任务,探索城市节能分类管理、科学化管理新机制至关重要。     

能碳耗指标约束下的节能减排新政——简评从“能耗”指标向“能碳耗”指标的过渡

2011年政府工作报告明确“十二五”期间节能减排的工作重点为同步控制单位国内生产总值能耗与二氧化碳排放,两个指标的下降幅度分别控制为16％和17％,碳耗降幅比能耗降幅高出一个百分点。那么,此次节能减排新政的用意何在？能耗与碳耗两个指标的区别又在哪儿呢？为何要将单位国内生产总值碳耗的下降幅度设得比能耗更高呢？以及同步设定这两个约束指标的意义又何在？
