边界层方案与垂直混合对京津冀地区O3模拟的影响研究

采用WRF-Chem模式中的3种边界层方案YSU、MYJ和ACM2对2019年6月京津冀及周边地区典型O₃污染月份开展模拟研究.详细对比了各方案对地面气象要素、NO₂和O₃浓度时空分布,以及温湿风要素和O₃浓度垂直分布的模拟效果.结果表明：3种方案对地面气象要素的时空分布和温湿风要素的垂直变化模拟较为合理.MYJ方案模拟地面气象要素整体效果最佳.各方案对边界层高度的日变化特征模拟较好,相关系数为0.58~0.69,但存在白天偏高、夜间偏低的现象,YSU方案相比效果最佳.3种边界层方案对NO₂浓度模拟普遍高估,而O₃模拟结果则出现低估.白天模拟偏差较小而夜间偏差较显著.模拟最佳的是ACM2,其次为YSU和MYJ.3种方案均较好地模拟出了O₃的垂直分布特征,但整体低估了O₃浓度.对上午O₃垂直分布的模拟差异较下午更为明显.此外,基于YSU方案设置了3个敏感实验,通过调整化学模块所用的湍流扩散系数阈值,对比分析了垂直混合过程改变对O₃浓度模拟的影响,模拟的变化只反映由于边界层的垂直混合过程改变造成的污染差异,而不是由于热动力场的调整造成的变化.模拟结果表明3个方案均可改善区域上地面NO₂和O₃的模拟性能,尤其是对原3种边界层方案模拟O₃均明显低估的华北平原地区提升效果最显著,平均偏差降低了23.7%.在垂直方向上,湍流扩散系数阈值的调整增加了早间近地面模拟的O₃浓度,改善了模拟偏低的现象,但同时增大了高层O₃浓度的负偏差.敏感性方案显著改善了夜间的模拟,白天则并不明显.这些结果显示出湍流扩散系数对O₃垂直混合的重要影响.因此,改进湍流扩散系数的参数化对O₃模拟是必要的.     

鹤山气溶胶光学性质和单颗粒化学组分的研究

2014年10~11月在广东省鹤山大气超级站利用单颗粒气溶胶质谱仪（SPAMS）、积分式浊度仪和黑碳仪在线观测了单颗粒气溶胶的化学组成与气溶胶光学特征.采用Art-2a分类法将单颗粒分为9类：有机碳-硫酸盐/硝酸盐颗粒（OC-Sulfate/Nitrate）、元素碳-硫酸盐/硝酸盐颗粒（EC-Sulfate/Nitrate）、元素碳有机碳-硫酸盐/硝酸盐颗粒（ECOC-Sulfate/Nitrate）、高分子有机碳颗粒（HOC）、海盐颗粒（Sea-salt）、硅酸盐颗粒（Si-rich）、左旋葡聚糖颗粒（Lev）、钾-硫酸盐/硝酸盐颗粒（K-Sulfate/Nitrate）、金属颗粒（Metal）.从清洁期到灰霾期气溶胶的吸收系数、散射系数和单次散射反照率（SSA）显著升高,气溶胶消光能力增强,同时EC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒占比从34.8%降至31%,OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒从9.9%增加至23.6%,K-Sulfate/Nitrate二次颗粒从8.5%增加至14%,且灰霾期OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒与硫酸盐、硝酸盐和铵盐的混合程度增强,因此老化的OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒和二次组分颗粒对气溶胶消光系数的增加有重要贡献.在大气相对湿度从50%增加到70%以上的过程中,气溶胶散射系数和吸收系数升高,消光系数由326.1Mm^-1增加到362.9Mm^-1,SSA有所下降,PM_2.5质量消光效率由4.98增加到5.99,EC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒和K-Sulfate/Nitrate二次颗粒占比下降,而OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒的占比由7.79%增加到14.29%,且OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒中富含硫酸盐、硝酸盐和铵盐,表明高相对湿度下老化的OC-Sulfate/Nitrate颗粒数目增多对气溶胶消光系数的增强有重要影响.

3D model for a secondary facultative pond

This paper describes a comprehensive model of wastewater treatment in secondary facultative ponds, which combines 3D hydrodynamics with a mechanistic water quality model. The hydrodynamics are based on the Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible fluids under shallow water and Boussinesq assumptions capturing the flow dynamics along length, breadth and depth of the pond. The water quality sub model is based on the Activated Sludge Model (ASM) concept, describing COD and nutrient removal as function of bacterial growth following Monod kinetics, except for Escherichia coli removal, which was modelled as first order decay. The model was implemented in the Delft3D software and was used to evaluate the effect of wind and the addition of baffles on the water flow pattern, temperature profiles in the pond and treatment efficiency. In contrast to earlier models reported in the literature, our simulation results did not show any significant improvement in COD removal (based on the ASM concept) with addition of baffles or under intermittent wind-induced mixing. However, E. coli removal efficiency, based on a first order decay approach, showed a fair improvement in the presence of baffles or intermittent wind-induced mixing. Furthermore, simulations with continuous wind effect showed a decrease in removal efficiency for COD but a further increase in E. coli removal efficiency. Such contrasting results for two different approaches in modelling could indicate that the first order decay concept might not be appropriate to describe all the interactions between biochemical processes in a pond. However, these interpretations remain theoretical, as the model needs validation with field data.     

API standard 521 guidance on mixing of hot/cold liquids and prevention of superheat limit explosions

American Petroleum Institute (API) standards and recommended practices have identified inadvertent mixing of hot and cold liquids as a potential cause for equipment overpressure since 1955. The limited guidance has been informative but provides minimal if any details on conditions that could cause an overpressure and its potential severity. Therefore, the user must interpret how and when to prevent and/or mitigate the scenario. This guidance has changed little over the years. In June 2020, API published the 7th Edition of API Standard 521 which now provides specific guidance as to conditions whereby pressure relief devices can be considered for protection and conditions where prevention remains as the only recourse. This paper discusses the basis for the revised guidance in API Standard 521 and includes supplemental guidance.

聚合硫酸铁(PFS)混凝腐殖酸(HA)的过程中典型操作因素的影响研究

针对聚合硫酸铁（PFS）混凝-沉淀去除腐殖酸（HA）水样的过程,通过测定典型操作因素（PFS投加量、原水pH和搅拌方式）下微絮体的zeta电位、上清液的浊度、UV254、pH值及电导率和絮体沉降体积变化,探讨了这些因素对该过程的影响.结果表明：在原水pH=6.00时,PFS混凝HA的主要机制为电中和作用,搅拌方式对PFS的最佳投加范围没有明显的影响,但单一搅拌方式下HA的去除效果更好;在原水pH=8.00时,吸附络合-卷扫絮凝成为主要的混凝机制,复合搅拌方式下PFS的最佳投加量范围大于单一搅拌方式,且前者的HA去除效果更好.整体而言,几种混凝条件下PFS最佳投药量对应的微絮体zeta电位均在-12.00mV左右;原水pH=6.00时PFS混凝-沉淀去除HA的效果比原水pH=8.00时的好,且前者形成的PFS-HA沉淀絮体体积较小,但单一搅拌方式下絮体结构的重组过程并不是影响絮体体积的主要因素.复合搅拌方式中开始阶段的高强度搅拌有助于PFS组分在HA水样中的分散而有利于其电中和作用的发挥,但对PFS的水解过程影响不大.

The Reduction of Stranded Oil by In Situ Shoreline Treatment Options

The Svalbard Shoreline Field Trials quantified the effectiveness of sediment relocation, mixing, bioremediation, bioremediation combined with mixing, and natural attenuation as options for the in situ treatment of oiled mixed-sediment (sand and pebble) shorelines. These treatments were applied to oiled plots located in the upper beach at three experimental sites, each with different sediment character and wave-energy exposure. Systematic monitoring was carried out over a 400-day period to quantify oil removal and to document changes in the physical character of the beach, oil penetration, oil loading, movements of oil to the subtidal environment, biodegradation, toxicity, and to validate oil-mineral aggregate formation.The results of the monitoring confirmed that sediment relocation significantly accelerated the rate of oil removal and reduced oil persistence where oil was stranded on the beach face above the level of normal wave activity. Where the stranded oil was in the zone of wave action, sediment relocation accelerated the short-term (weeks) rate of oil loss from the intertidal sediments.Oil removal rates on a beach treated by mechanical mixing or tilling were not significantly higher than those associated with natural recovery. However there is evidence that mixing/tilling may have enhanced microbial activity for a limited period by increasing the permeability of the sediment.Changes in the chemical composition of the oil demonstrated that biodegradation was significant in this arctic environment and a bioremediation treatment protocol based on nutrient enrichment effectively doubled the rate of biodegradation. However, on an operational scale, the success of this treatment strategy was limited as physical processes were more important in causing oil loss from the beaches than biodegradation, even where this oil loss was stimulated by the bioremediation protocols.
