东江流域敌敌畏的排放量估算及归趋模拟

农药的持续使用,使流域环境污染十分普遍,对其污染水平进行评估很有必要.相比传统的监测手段,与GIS结合的模型作为评估手段具有显著的优势,但是由于农药应用情景及相关排放量的数据不易获得,对流域农药的模拟评估造成了阻碍.本研究建立了一种农药排放量估算的方法,基于流域内作物种植情况及农药施用标准,通过使用情境分析和数学推演,可获得不同子流域单元的输入量;并以此为源输入数据,使用半分布式流域水文模型——SWAT（soil and water assessment tool）模型,以敌敌畏在东江流域为例进行模拟.模型的验证结果显示,模拟浓度与监测结果的差异值绝大多数在一个数量级以内,表明基于源输入估算的SWAT模型可有效评估流域农药的环境归趋.模拟结果表明,流域敌敌畏每年的排放量占到使用量的3.72%,河道内的降解等反应损失达2.35%.东江流域多数河段敌敌畏的质量浓度超过0.1 μg·L^-1,其污染需引起关注.     

区域环境质量与经济发展关系模型研究

环境库兹涅茨曲线是目前环境经济领域被广泛引用的一个计量模型。针对当前人们大多通过实际观测资料,利用回归分析,估计环境质量转折点,而理论研究相对较少的现状,从社会福利最大化角度出发,通过设定物品消费偏好指数,建立了一个两物品模型。通过数学推理,首先推导出了区域环境最佳投资水平,在此基础上从理论上证明了环境库兹涅茨曲线存在的依据,以及在环境质量最低点和环境质量发生根本性好转的转折点的社会总投资水平。研究表明,环境质量演化过程曲线取决于社会经济发展状况,它与非环境物品生产函数和排污生产函数的技术参数,居民收入水平以及对环境物品和非环境物品的消费偏好,国民收入分配政策等有关,而非仅仅与经济增长状况有关。因此,在经济发展过程中适时地调整产业结构和国民收入分配政策、采用新技术、提倡合理的消费观念等是加速环境质量演化过程的重要措施。     

Treatment of electronic waste to recover metal values using thermal plasma coupled with acid leaching--a response surface modeling approach

The global crisis of the hazardous electronic waste (E-waste) is on the rise due to increasing usage and disposal of electronic devices. A process was developed to treat E-waste in an environmentally benign process. The process consisted of thermal plasma treatment followed by recovery of metal values through mineral acid leaching. In the thermal process, the E-waste was melted to recover the metal values as a metallic mixture. The metallic mixture was subjected to acid leaching in presence of depolarizer. The leached liquor mainly contained copper as the other elements like Al and Fe were mostly in alloy form as per the XRD and phase diagram studies. Response surface model was used to optimize the conditions for leaching. More than 90% leaching efficiency at room temperature was observed for Cu, Ni and Co with HCl as the solvent, whereas Fe and Al showed less than 40% efficiency.

Man-made chemicals found in remote areas of the world: the experimental definition for POPs

Members of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) signed a legally binding protocol on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in February 1998 under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution. A treaty that intends to control the production, import, export, disposal and use of toxic chemicals that persist for decades in the environment has been formally signed at a conference in May 2001 in Stockholm. The 2001 POP treaty, like the 1998 LRTAP POP protocol, contains a provision on adding further chemicals to the initial group of twelve or fifteen. The occurrence of a compound or a group of compounds in so called remote and pristine areas, e.g. in the Artic or in the Southern Hemisphere, proves its stability under the chemical and biological conditions of the environment. Compounds identified in this way, in samples taken primarily in very remote regions of the planet, are classified by their environmental fate and global distribution as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), regardless of any political assessments.     

利用GPS-RIK技术进行既有线曲线整正测量研究

既有线曲线整正测量是铁路既有线提速改造和工务部门大修设计的主要任务之一。需要改造的既有铁路一般均为繁忙干线，并行车密度较高。传统的测量方法是将测量仪器安置在线路上，这样不仅在作业过程中受行车干扰，作业效率也不够高，而曲线地段通视条件差，作业难度是相当大的。同时，作业人员的安全问题也变得十分突出。笔者提出采用先进的GPS-RIK技术，对既有线曲线整正进行测量。采用该技术不仅能克服气候条件的限制，而且能以较高的频率，较高的精度测定互不通视的各被测点的坐标，克服了传统的作业方法要求置镜点与被测点之间必须通视、作业受天气影响、存在误差累积、内业计算工作量大等缺陷。该法在保证作业人员安全的前提下大大提高作业效率。

Regional scale flood modeling using NEXRAD rainfall, GIS, and HEC-HMS/RAS: a case study for the San Antonio River Basin Summer 2002 storm event

This paper develops a framework for regional scale flood modeling that integrates NEXRAD Level III rainfall, GIS, and a hydrological model (HEC-HMS/RAS). The San Antonio River Basin (about 4000 square miles, 10,000 km2) in Central Texas, USA, is the domain of the study because it is a region subject to frequent occurrences of severe flash flooding. A major flood in the summer of 2002 is chosen as a case to examine the modeling framework. The model consists of a rainfall-runoff model (HEC-HMS) that converts precipitation excess to overland flow and channel runoff, as well as a hydraulic model (HEC-RAS) that models unsteady state flow through the river channel network based on the HEC-HMS-derived hydrographs. HEC-HMS is run on a 4 x 4 km grid in the domain, a resolution consistent with the resolution of NEXRAD rainfall taken from the local river authority. Watershed parameters are calibrated manually to produce a good simulation of discharge at 12 subbasins. With the calibrated discharge, HEC-RAS is capable of producing floodplain polygons that are comparable to the satellite imagery. The modeling framework presented in this study incorporates a portion of the recently developed GIS tool named Map to Map that has been created on a local scale and extends it to a regional scale. The results of this research will benefit future modeling efforts by providing a tool for hydrological forecasts of flooding on a regional scale. While designed for the San Antonio River Basin, this regional scale model may be used as a prototype for model applications in other areas of the country.     

WAVE INDUCED FLOW AND TRANSPORT IN SEDIMENT BEDS1

ABSTRACT: The fate of contaminants in large water bodies is highly influenced by the transfer of flow and solutes across the water sediment interface. In this paper, an analytical model is presented where flow in both sediment bed and open channel is coupled at the interface through a boundary layer occupying the upper part of the sediment bed. The presence of this layer allows not only the capture of the inertia effects through a drag term in the generalized Darcy's equation, but also the specification of different soil parameters for the two porous zones. The flow is advective and driven by wave action along the water surface. The resulting system is solved for the pressure and flux in each sediment layer. The generated transport velocity fields are linked to a random walk simulation that is used to examine the trajectories of solute particles. Comparison of these trajectories against experimental tracer tests suggests a pattern very similar to the one attributed to the presence of surface mounds. The results clearly show the significance of the boundary layer and the drag term for soil with high permeability and the impact of both the thickness of the boundary layer and the length of the gravity wave relative to the depth of the water channel on the transport and exchange across the interface. The paper also examines the sensitivity of the mass exchange to the permeability of the two porous zones.
