以河道水为原水的高速过滤过程及其性能分析

针对平原城市缓流河道普遍存在的季节性水质恶化问题,采用预氧化、微絮凝+高速过滤对天津市某缓流河道水体进行中试规模实验。结果表明,该处理技术具有处理周期长(>24 h)、过滤滤速高(平均为43.26 m·h-1)和出水效果好(出水水质优于地表水Ⅳ类水质标准)的特点。同时发现：单位面积滤柱的产水率呈“阶梯”下降趋势;高速过滤的堵塞特征曲线服从三次多项式分布;系统过滤历经增长期、稳定期和衰减期,其中增长期为3~4 h,稳定期约14 h,过滤系数λ为(0.020 1±0.001 3) cm-1(置信度P=95%),其可作为系统基本属性的定量参数。     

黄河水系氮污染特征初探

对黄河水系1960年至2000年期间氮污染监测数据的分析表明，干流河水氮污染的程度自上游至下游有升高的趋势；不少支流氮污染的程度大大高于干流。在工业不发达的农业地区，河水总氮与氨氮的最高浓度大多出现在丰水期；在工业相对发达的地区，河水氨氮与总氮的最高浓度大多出现在枯水期；有一部分站点河水总氮与氨氮浓度的年内变化无明显规则，近40年来黄河水系氮污染程度不断上升，1990s年代以后的上升趋势更为显著。     

原位洗脱技术对凉水河底泥中氮、磷释放特征的影响

为探讨新兴底泥原位修复技术—原位洗脱技术对城市河流凉水河底泥中氮、磷释放的抑制作用,于现场采集洗脱前后样品并设计室内静态模拟实验,分析了实验期间洗脱组和对照组上覆水中${{\rm{NH}}_4^ + }$-N、${{\rm{NO}}_3^ - }$-N、TN、${{\rm{PO}}_4^{3 - }}$-P、TP浓度和释放速率变化特征。结果表明：洗脱组释放第30天时,${{\rm{NH}}_4^ + }$-N由底泥向上覆水中平均释放速率(−6.51±0.32) mg·(m²·d)⁻¹,对应上覆水中${{\rm{NH}}_4^ + }$-N平均浓度为0.52 mg·L⁻¹,较对照组下降了89.4%;${{\rm{PO}}_4^{3 - }}$-P和TP平均释放速率较对照组降低了78.1%和83.0%,上覆水中TP平均浓度为0.22 mg·L⁻¹,较对照组下降了68.1%。原位洗脱技术对底泥中${{\rm{NH}}_4^ +} $-N、${{\rm{PO}}_4^{3 - }}$-P释放的抑制作用主要通过对有机氮、磷物质的削减和水-沉积物界面还原环境的改善来实现。     

Concentrations of Hchs and Ddts in the Tissues of River Dolphins,Platanista Gangetica,From the River Ganges,India

Abstract

Concentrations of HCH and DDT organochlorine insecticide residues were measured in blubber, muscle and oil samples from three specimens of river dolphins, Platanista gangetica, from the River Ganges, India. Concentrations of HCH and DDT ranged from 94 to 289 ng g^?1 and from 1324 to 9388 ng g^?1 on wet wt. basis respectively. Comparisons are made with other aquatic mammals and other studies on river dolphins. P. gangetica appears to exhibit similar patterns of accumulation with age and with ß-HCH and p-p′-DDE being accumulated to higher levels than other HCH isomers and parent DDT and its other metabolites, respectively. These organochlorines may pose a health risk to river dolphin populations that are already showing evidence of environmental stress. Further studies are recommended.     

A nanosilver-based spectrophotometric method for sensitive determination of methyl violet in river water

A method is reported for the determination of methyl violet in the range of 10–120 nmol L^?1. The method is based on the catalytic effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the oxidation reaction of methyl violet by potassium bromate in acid medium. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the change in absorbance () at 620 nm using a fixed time method. The reaction variables were optimized in order to achieve highest sensitivity. The 3б criterion detection limit was 5 nmol L^?1, and the relative standard deviation for ten replicate determinations at a concentration of methyl violet of 15 nmol L^?1 was 0.97% (n = 10). The method was successfully applied to the determination of methyl violet in river water samples.     

A case study of flood control schemes for the Kakehashi river and their socio-cultural consequences

SUMMARY

This paper is concerned with a twenty-five year campaign against the relocation of the Komatsu-Tenmangu shrine as a result of the enlargement of the Kakehashi river. The Komatsu-Tenmangu shrine is an important cultural property of Japan, and was constructed by Toshitsune Maeda, the third dynasty of the Kaga clan in 1657. It is suggested that the primary reason why it took so long to settle this issue is a flaw in our social system for managing public works. It is concluded that preservation of cultural property is not always contrary to land development, and that the proposed procedures or something like them must be put into practice for the real expansion of our culture.

Effect of Widespread Agricultural Chemical Use on Butterfly Diversity across Turkish Provinces

Although agricultural intensification is thought to pose a significant threat to species, little is known about its role in driving biodiversity loss at regional scales. I assessed the effects of a major component of agricultural intensification, agricultural chemical use, and land‐cover and climatic variables on butterfly diversity across 81 provinces in Turkey, where agriculture is practiced extensively but with varying degrees of intensity. I determined butterfly species presence in each province from data on known butterfly distributions and calculated agricultural chemical use as the proportion of agricultural households that use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. I used constrained correspondence analyses and regression‐based multimodel inference to determine the effect of environmental variables on species composition and richness, respectively. The variation in butterfly species composition across the provinces was largely explained (78%) by the combination of agricultural chemical use, particularly pesticides, and climatic and land‐cover variables. Although overall butterfly richness was primarily explained by climatic and land‐cover variables, such as the area of natural vegetation cover, threatened butterfly richness and the relative number of threatened butterfly species decreased substantially as the proportion of agricultural households using pesticides increased. These findings suggest that widespread use of agricultural chemicals, or other components of agricultural intensification that may be collinear with pesticide use, pose an imminent threat to the biodiversity of Turkey. Accordingly, policies that mitigate agricultural intensification and promote low‐input farming practices are crucial for protecting threatened species from extinction in rapidly industrializing nations such as Turkey.
