Application of the benthic index of biotic integrity to environmental monitoring in Chesapeake Bay

The Chesapeake Bay benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) was developed to assess benthic community health and environmental quality in Chesapeake Bay. The B-IBI provides Chesapeake Bay monitoring programs with a uniform tool with which to characterize bay-wide benthic community condition and assess the health of the Bay. A probability-based design permits unbiased annual estimates of areal degradation within the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries with quantifiable precision. However, of greatest interest to managers is the identification of problem areas most in need of restoration. Here we apply the B-IBI to benthic data collected in the Bay since 1994 to assess benthic community degradation by Chesapeake Bay Program segment and water depth. We used a new B-IBI classification system that improves the reliability of the estimates of degradation. Estimates were produced for 67 Chesapeake Bay Program segments. Greatest degradation was found in areas that are known to experience hypoxia or show toxic contamination, such as the mesohaline portion of the Potomac River, the Patapsco River, and the Maryland mainstem. Logistic regression models revealed increased probability of degraded benthos with depth for the lower Potomac River, Patapsco River, Nanticoke River, lower York River, and the Maryland mainstem. Our assessment of degradation by segment and water depth provided greater resolution of relative condition than previously available, and helped define the extent of degradation in Chesapeake Bay.

活性艳红X-3B微波辅助光催化脱色的研究

研究了微波辅助光催化氧化(MW/UV/TiO2)处理活性艳红(X 3B)模拟废水。结果表明:400mg/LX 3B在反应150min时的脱色率由UV/TiO2体系的7.07%、MW体系的13.52%提高到了MW/UV/TiO2体系的56.35%。脱色反应速率随初始浓度(CX 3B)的增大而减慢;在强酸性介质中,脱色率更高;光照度(E)越强,越有利于X 3B脱色反应;改变催化剂投加量对X 3B脱色影响不大;H2O2浓度增加,X 3B脱色率升高;在以上条件下,X 3B的脱色反应均符合一级反应动力学方程,脱色反应中同时存在自由基反应与直接光解反应。
