Impact of varying soil structure on transport processes in different diagnostic horizons of three soil types

When soil structure varies in different soil types and the horizons of these soil types, it has a significant impact on water flow and contaminant transport in soils. This paper focuses on the effect of soil structure variations on the transport of pesticides in the soil above the water table. Transport of a pesticide (chlorotoluron) initially applied on soil columns taken from various horizons of three different soil types (Haplic Luvisol, Greyic Phaeozem and Haplic Cambisol) was studied using two scenarios of ponding infiltration. The highest infiltration rate and pesticide mobility were observed for the Bt₁ horizon of Haplic Luvisol that exhibited a well-developed prismatic structure. The lowest infiltration rate was measured for the Bw horizon of Haplic Cambisol, which had a poorly developed soil structure and a low fraction of large capillary pores and gravitational pores. Water infiltration rates were reduced during the experiments by a soil structure breakdown, swelling of clay and/or air entrapped in soil samples. The largest soil structure breakdown and infiltration decrease was observed for the Ap horizon of Haplic Luvisol due to the low aggregate stability of the initially well-aggregated soil. Single-porosity and dual-permeability (with matrix and macropore domains) flow models in HYDRUS-1D were used to estimate soil hydraulic parameters via numerical inversion using data from the first infiltration experiment. A fraction of the macropore domain in the dual-permeability model was estimated using the micro-morphological images. Final soil hydraulic parameters determined using the single-porosity and dual-permeability models were subsequently used to optimize solute transport parameters. To improve numerical inversion results, the two-site sorption model was also applied. Although structural changes observed during the experiment affected water flow and solute transport, the dual-permeability model together with the two-site sorption model proved to be able to approximate experimental data.     

降低负荷以提高反硝化颗粒污泥的稳定性

在上流式污泥床反应器（USB）内,接种好氧活性污泥,以甲醇为碳源,NO-3为电子受体,经过40多d培养,得到良好的反硝化颗粒污泥,粒径2～3 mm,MLSS为36 g/L,氮去除速率和COD去除速率分别在0.15 g NO₃-N/(g VSS·d)和0.8 g COD/(g VSS·d)。当负荷提高至6.44 g NO₃-N/(L·d)继续运行1周后,观察到反应器内颗粒污泥出现上浮,浓度降低,颗粒粒径多数在3～5 mm,外观呈乳白色。为恢复反应器稳定运行,当负荷降至3.86 g NO₃-N/(L·d)时,上浮现象减轻,当负荷降至2.57 g NO₃-N/(L·d)时,上浮现象消失,颗粒污泥密度由不稳定时的1.0018 g/cm³提高到1.0126 g/cm³,颗粒粘连现象基本消失,污泥氮去除速率在0.19 g NO₃-N/(g VSS·d),连续运行30 d,系统保持稳定。分析认为,颗粒污泥表面微生物生长速度过快是导致不稳定的主要因素,较长的泥龄有利于系统稳定。     

考虑刚度劣化的剪切带-围岩系统稳定性分析

峰后的刚度劣化现象(渐进损伤)在多种煤、岩石、混凝土、土和砂子的循环加载实验中已被观察到。本文考虑了剪切带及带外弹性体的不同的刚度劣化现象,推导了剪切带(断层)-弹性围岩系统在直剪条件下的应力—变形曲线。剪切带的刚度劣化不改变剪切带的总变形,但使剪切带的弹性变形增加、塑性变形降低。考虑弹性体的刚度劣化现象之后,系统的峰后应力—变形曲线呈现非线性特征,这不同于过去忽略刚度劣化现象的结果。在应变软化过程中,剪切带之外弹性体的刚度劣化,使系统的峰后响应由负斜率(Ⅰ类行为)变为正斜率(Ⅱ类变形行为)。较高的弹性体尺寸、较高的脆性、较小的内部长度、较低的围岩初始弹性模量、较高的抗剪强度、较低的残余剪切应力及较高的残余剪切弹性模量,使系统的峰后响应变得陡峭,甚至发生Ⅱ类行为,使系统的失稳(岩爆、冲击地压、采矿诱发地震或矿震)易于发生。

控制DO及FA条件下短程硝化过程系统稳定性研究

采用SBR工艺以水产品加工废水为研究对象,同时控制进水游离氨（FA）为0．96～1．25mg!L,溶解氧（DO）为1～2mg／L,实现了稳定的短程硝化过程。在此条件下,亚硝化率及氨氮去除率分别大于95％和88％,有机物（COD）去除率在90％以上,亚硝化速率维持在0．9666×10^-3-1．0375×10^-3mgNO2-N／（mgMLSS·h）之间。研究结果表明,同时控制DO及FA在适当范围之内可以获得稳定的短程硝化过程,并可降低系统能耗。本实验采用较低的FA浓度与较高的DO浓度（与OLAND工艺比较）得到了稳定的短程硝化过程,对水产品加工废水处理具有重要应用价值。     

Assessment of biological effects of environmental pollution along the NW Mediterranean Sea using red mullets as sentinel organisms

A biomonitoring program was carried out in spring and autumn in three pollution hot-spots and sensitive areas of the NW Mediterranean Sea using red mullets (Mullus barbatus) as sentinel organisms and a battery of biomarkers together with gonad histology. In fish from anthropogenic impacted areas (Fos-sur-mer, Cortiou, Arenzano, Delta of Ebro) lysosomal membrane destabilization occurred indicating disturbed health. There were no significant differences in metallothionein (MT) levels among stations. Peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX) activity was highest in fish from Cortiou. Both MT levels and AOX activities were significantly correlated with gamete development. Prevalence of melanomacrophage centers were high in Cortiou in all samplings and in Fos-sur-mer in September samplings. In conclusion, the application of a battery of biomarkers in red mullets provided relevant data for the assessment of environmental pollution in the NW Mediterranean Sea but also showed the difficulties of using native fish as sentinels. For future studies caging strategies are recommended.     

某高速公路花岗岩边坡稳定性评价及防护措施研究

花岗岩在我国分布广泛,完整新鲜的花岗岩具有良好的工程地质特性,但受到侵蚀、剥蚀、风化等作用的花岗岩体物理力学性质急剧降低,又会成为工程建设中较难处理的岩石之一。公路建设过程中,风化花岗岩边坡较为普遍。由于这类边坡的特殊岩体性质,在一定条件下容易发生失稳,对公路施工和运营都会造成严重危害。因此,研究这类边坡的变形破坏机制和失稳模式,对边坡的开挖和防治具有重要意义。文章通过对某高速公路一风化花岗岩边坡的现场工程地质勘察,在边坡岩体结构特征、变形破坏机制及失稳模式分析的基础上对边坡的整体稳定性做出了评价,进而对边坡开挖和防护提出有效建议,同时也可为同类风化花岗岩边坡的设计、施工提供理论上的参考。

基于正交设计的边坡稳定性影响因素敏感性分析

边坡的稳定性受多种因素的影响,应用正交设计对影响边坡的多因素进行了敏感性分析。首先对正交设计原理及用于结果分析的极差法和方差法进行了简单介绍,然后结合工程实例,说明了正交设计在边坡敏感性分析中的应用,最后用极差法和方差法对其结果进行分析,得出影响边坡的参数中,敏感性由大到小依次为:地震加速度α,粘聚力c,内摩擦角φ,库水位变化H,容重γ;其中地震加速度α,粘聚力c,内摩擦角φ是对该边坡影响最显著的因素。因此,在边坡治理时应注意地震和降雨对其稳定性产生的不利影响。
