Framing the Long-Term <Emphasis Type="Italic">In Situ</Emphasis> Liability Issue for Geologic Carbon Storage in the United States

This paper examines how legal standards of liability may apply to geologic carbon storage. The liability regime governing geologic carbon storage will shape the technology's cost-effectiveness and overall attractiveness. We classify potential sources of liability into operational, in situ, and climate liability. As a first step, we explore in situ liability in the United States. After summarizing legal standards of liability including negligence, breach of implied warranty, strict liability, and product liability, we discuss how liability may be addressed at the level of the federal government, state government, industry, and the firm. Finally, we address the implications of judicial treatment of liability for carbon storage, including the apportionment of liability and the adequacy of current regulations.

研究了35℃条件下LY12CZ铝合金在质量分数为20％的EXCO溶液中的腐蚀行为。利用体视显微镜测量了试样的最大腐蚀深度。实验中发现平行试样之间的最大腐蚀深度具有分散性．经检验确定其分布规律符合正态分布。实验数据表明LY12CZ铝合金在质量分数为20％的EXCO溶液中的腐蚀过程可分为3个阶段：最初的14h内符合S型曲线规律．为点蚀的萌生及发展阶段：随后发展为剥蚀阶段．其中14～120h呈线性规律,120h后呈二项式规律发展至实验结束。     

贵州省遵义地区降水中低分子有机酸及其来源

甲酸和乙酸是大气对流层中广泛存在的低分子有机酸.降水中有机酸的研究是认识C、H、O等元素生物地球化学循环和酸雨成因的重要内容.贵州省遵义地区是我国酸雨高发地区,在遵义市进行了为期1 a的降水采集,并利用离子色谱法和原子吸收法分别对降水中主要阴离子(包括有机和无机)和阳离子进行了测定.结果显示.pH的年均值为4.11,表明遵义市酸雨形势依然严峻;甲酸和乙酸的的雨量加权平均值分别为9.29 ìmol稬-1(范围:0.15～46.14 ìmol稬-1)和6.47ìmol!L-1(范围:0.02～19.11 ìmol稬-1),占阴离子总址的4.10%,二者的相天系数达到0.86.说明甲酸和乙酸具有共同的来源.在一次降雨事件中,有机酸的浓度一般随降雨时间的延长而降低,但在降雨中后期有时会出现上升的现象,表明有机酸主要来自云下淋滤作用,少数情况下来自大气远距离的传输.遵义市区的山间盆地地形、高湿度、低风速、以尘埃为主的大气污染物等特点为有机酸来源于当地创造了条件.应用气液平衡的原理,提出了降水中甲酸、乙酸比值(F/A)aq的有机酸来源判定方法.发现遵义降水中的有机酸春季和冬季主要来自人类活动的释放.夏季和秋季则主要来自植物的释放.     

沂蒙山区典型小流域特殊降雨的磷素输出特征

为揭示沂蒙山区不同降雨条件下的磷素流失规律,对当地孟良崮小流域2010年13场自然降雨径流量及磷素浓度的动态过程进行实地监测,研究了年内产生有效径流的首场和最大强度2场特殊降雨的径流、磷素输出负荷、初期冲刷效应及径流量同磷素负荷之间的关系.结果表明,首场降雨径流中溶解态有机磷(DOP)、溶解态无机磷(DIP)、溶解态全磷(DP)、颗粒态全磷(PP)和总磷(TP)浓度明显高于最大强度降雨,而其输出负荷分别为最大强度降雨的168%、54%、71%、48%和54%;2场降雨对小流域磷素年输出负荷有重要影响,DOP、DIP、DP、PP和TP的输出总量分别占整个雨季输出的48%、81%、70%、87%和81%,其中DIP占DP流失的77%,PP占TP流失的71%;2场降雨均存在污染物的初期冲刷效应,最大强度降雨的初期冲刷效应较首场降雨强烈;2场降雨的各磷素累积输出负荷同累积径流量之间均呈线性关系,且拟合度较好,但首场降雨各形态磷素直线方程的斜率均大于最大强度降雨.根据气象预报尽量减少在特殊降雨期间翻耕、施肥等农事活动,以及有针对性地建立沟渠、池塘等截污措施减少初期冲刷效应,是降低农业非点源污染的有效途径.     

Removal kinetics of phosphorus from synthetic wastewater using basic oxygen furnace slag

Removal kinetics of phosphorus through use of basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF-slag) was investigated through batch experiments. Effects of several parameters such as initial phosphorus concentration, temperature, BOF-slag size, initial pH, and BOF-slag dosage on phosphorus removal kinetics were measured in detail. It was demonstrated that the removal process of phosphorus through BOF-slag followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The apparent rate constant (k_obs) significantly decreased with increasing initial phosphorus concentration, BOF-slag size, and initial pH, whereas it exhibited an opposite trend with increasing reaction temperature and BOF-slag dosage. A linear dependence of k_obs on total removed phosphorus (TRP) was established with k_obs = (3.51 ± 0.11) × 10^− 4 × TRP. Finally, it was suggested that the Langmuir–Rideal (L–R) or Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L–H) mechanism may be used to describe the removal process of phosphorus using BOF-slag.

基于韦伯-费希纳定律的空气质量普适韦伯指数公式

在适当设定各项空气污染物浓度"参照值"cj0的基础上,用相应于"参照值"cj0的污染物的"规范值"xj作为基于韦伯-费希纳(W-F)定律空气质量指数公式中的污染刺激量。由于各污染物同级标准的浓度"规范值"xjl差异不大,从而可以认为各污染物的韦伯指数公式等效于一个具有共同适用的韦伯常数α的W-F指数公式,并采用粒子群(PSO)算法优化得出α,得到对7项空气污染物皆适用的空气质量普适韦伯指数公式。该公式应用于多个实例分析,并与多种其它评价方法的评价结果比较表明,空气质量普适韦伯指数公式具有简单、实用和直观的特点。
