南四湖及主要入湖河流表层沉积物对磷酸盐的吸附特征

研究了南四湖及其主要河流人湖口18个表层沉积物对磷的吸附能力、吸附动力学及其吸附等温线,并对湖区沉积物对磷吸附特征及其理化特征之间的关系进行了探讨.结果表明,对于处于不同营养水平的沉积物,对磷酸盐的吸附具有一致的特征.在前10h沉积物对磷酸盐的吸附量基本达到或超过平衡吸附量的80%,并且在0～1.0 h内吸附反应迅速.在本研究条件下,表层沉积物的cEPC的变化范围为0.010～0.157mg·L-1, Qmax的变化范围是86.74～118.32 mg·kg-1, TQmax的变化范围是99.97～281.11 mg·kg-1·cEPC、NAP、m、Qmax和TQmax与Ads-P都具有显著的正相关关系,沉积物Ads-P含量可以作为指导南四湖水体污染程度的一项指标. m与TQmax之间具有显著的正相关性,吸附效率不仅体现的是对外来磷的吸附效率,还应当包含对本身释放磷的再吸附的效率.对于南四湖沉积物TQmax、NAP和Qmax起到同样的贡献.沉积物的NAP与cEPC之间呈显著正相关性,总的趋势就是,当上覆水中磷含量相等时,具有高的NAP的沉积物易于向上覆水体释磷,反之具有较低NAP的沉积物易从水中吸附磷.

水体的营养水平对苦草(Vallisneria atans)生长的影响

在室外控制条件下,以太湖梅梁湾水体现状营养水平(ρ(TN)为5 mg/L和ρ(TP)为0.2 mg/L)为依据,研究营养盐含量升高对苦草生长的影响.结果表明:①在满足光补偿点及无种间竞争等的条件下,苦草在营养水平为ρ(TN)＞10 mg/L和ρ(TP)＞0.4 mg/L的水中也能成活.②随着营养盐含量的升高,苦草生物量的增长率逐渐降低,当水中ρ(TN)达到10 mg/L和ρ(TP)达到0.4 mg/L时,苦草的生物量开始减少;营养盐含量升高对苦草叶片特征的影响不明显,而苦草根状茎的生物量却随着营养盐含量的升高而逐渐减少,当水体营养水平达到ρ(TN)为10 mg/L和ρ(TP)为0.4 mg/L时,除叶片长度外,苦草的其他形态指标值均显著下降.③在梅梁湾水体现状营养水平的基础上,当水中磷含量增加1倍时对苦草生长造成的抑制作用大于氮含量增加1倍时;当二者均增加时,对植物生长造成的抑制作用显著增加.

Essential hazard and process safety assessment of para-toluene sulfonic acid through calorimetry and advanced thermokinetics

Para-toluene sulfonic acid is a typical intermediary for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes and is a catalyst for organic synthesis. The consumption of para-toluene sulfonic acid used in organic synthesis has increased substantially. The toluene sulfonation process is the central path for synthesizing para-toluene sulfonic acid in China. However, the process has risks and has resulted in numerous disasters. This study utilized a reaction calorimeter 1 to reproduce the commercial toluene sulfonation process in a laboratory. The para-toluene sulfonic acid product was examined with an accelerating rate calorimeter and through differential scanning calorimetry. Both differential and integral isoconversional methods were used to determine the thermal stability of and appropriate thermokinetic models for para-toluene sulfonic acid. The safety parameters of para-toluene sulfonic acid were estimated. The research findings can be used for optimization of the toluene sulfonation process and for safe handling of para-toluene sulfonic acid.     

Effects of age and sex ratios on offspring recruitment rates in translocated black rhinoceros

Success of animal translocations depends on improving postrelease demographic rates toward establishment and subsequent growth of released populations. Short‐term metrics for evaluating translocation success and its drivers, like postrelease survival and fecundity, are unlikely to represent longer‐term outcomes. We used information theory to investigate 25 years of data on black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) translocations. We used the offspring recruitment rate (ORR) of translocated females—a metric integrating survival, fecundity, and offspring recruitment at sexual maturity—to detect determinants of success. Our unambiguously best model (AICω = 0.986) predicted that ORR increases with female age at release as a function of lower postrelease adult rhinoceros sex ratio (males:females). Delay of first postrelease reproduction and failure of some females to recruit any calves to sexual maturity most influenced the pattern of ORRs, and the leading causes of recruitment failure were postrelease female death (23% of all females) and failure to calve (24% of surviving females). We recommend translocating older females (≥6 years old) because they do not exhibit the reproductive delay and low ORRs of juveniles (<4 years old) or the higher rates of recruitment failure of juveniles and young adults (4–5.9 years old). Where translocation of juveniles is necessary, they should be released into female‐biased populations, where they have higher ORRs. Our study offers the unique advantage of a long‐term analysis across a large number of replicate populations—a science‐by‐management experiment as a proxy for a manipulative experiment, and a rare opportunity, particularly for a large, critically endangered taxon such as the black rhinoceros. Our findings differ from previous recommendations, reinforce the importance of long‐term data sets and comprehensive metrics of translocation success, and suggest attention be shifted from ecological to social constraints on population growth and species recovery, particularly when translocating species with polygynous breeding systems.
