不同供水管材生物膜抗生素抗性基因分布特征

为了研究不同材质供水管道内壁生物膜中抗生素抗性基因分布特征和水平转移潜力,利用宏基因组测序对304、316 L不锈钢管和PPR、PE塑料管内壁生物膜进行了分析.结果表明,4种管材内壁生物膜中共检出17类146种抗生素抗性基因.多药类抗性基因在不同管材生物膜中的丰度最高且差别较大,是不同管材生物膜抗生素抗性基因差异的主要原因.不同管材生物膜中可移动遗传元件的总丰度水平较高,但整体上和抗生素抗性基因共存的比例较低,其中整合酶基因表现出和抗生素抗性基因更加密切的关系,可能在抗生素抗性基因的水平转移上发挥重要作用.不同的抗性基因拥有不同种类的潜在宿主,水杆菌属（Aquabacterium）、慢生根瘤菌属（Bradyrhizobium）等高丰度宿主是多药类抗性基因大量存在的基础.不同管材管壁生物膜中抗生素抗性的首要影响因素是细菌群落组成,其次是可移动遗传元件介导的基因水平转移;物种组成和可移动遗传元件共同塑造了抗性基因的分布特征.     

城市自来水管网中挥发性有机物的空间分布特征

分析了中国2座沿海城市(S市和L市)自来水管网中挥发性有机物(VOCs)的赋存状态,对检出的VOCs进行了健康风险评价,并探讨了检出VOCs在城市自来水管网中的分布规律.在本文选取的47种VOCs目标化合物中,所研究的2座城市自来水管网中共检出16种VOCs,在2市共同检出的VOCs为11种,以卤代烃类化合物为主,其中又以三卤甲烷类VOCs(一溴二氯甲烷、二溴一氯甲烷和三溴甲烷)的检出率最高(92%~100%).在浓度水平上,除一溴二氯甲烷和二溴一氯甲烷外,其他检出VOCs在2市自来水管网中的最大浓度均未超过我国《生活饮用水卫生标准(GB 5749-2006)》中相关化合物的限值.一溴二氯甲烷和二溴一氯甲烷在2座城市自来水管网中不仅浓度水平超标(限值分别为60μg·L-1和100μg·L-1),而且其致癌风险值(LCR)也处于不可接受的水平(10-4),二者应当被给予足够的重视或被列为2市自来水管网中优先控制的污染物.此外,本研究还选择了8种检出率大于90%的VOCs,探讨了它们在S市自来水管网中的空间分布规律,结果表明,所研究的VOCs(除甲苯外)在该市自来水管网中的浓度都随管网输送距离的增加而逐渐降低.     

Acid-treated Fe-doped TiO2 as a high performance photocatalyst used for degradation of phenol under visible light irradiation

The photocatalytic activity of Fe-doped TiO2 nanoparticles is significantly increased by an acid-treatment process. The photocatalyst nanoparticles were prepared using sol–gel method with 0.5 mol% ratio of Fe:Ti in acidic pH of 3. The nanoparticles were structurally characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(DRS). It was observed that the photocatalytic activity suffered from an iron oxide contaminating layer deposited on the surface of the nanoparticles. This contamination layer was removed using an HCl acidtreatment process. The photocatalytic activity using 500 mg/L of Fe0.5-TiO2 in a 10 mg/L of phenol solution increased significantly from 33% to 57%(about 73% increase in the performance), within 90 min of reaction time under visible light irradiation. This significant improvement was achieved by removing the iron oxide contamination layer from the surface of the nanoparticles and adjusting p H to mild acidic and basic pHs.     

基于瞬态分析的浮动核电站高能管路冲击疲劳寿命评估

目的合理评估浮动核电站高能管路在水下冲击载荷下的疲劳寿命。方法开展高能管路静载、模态和瞬态响应分析,得到管路在水下冲击作用下的应力时程曲线,为管路疲劳寿命估算提供基本应力谱输入。基于冲击疲劳损伤模型,运用nCode疲劳分析软件,估算管路的冲击疲劳寿命。结果管路在一次冲击载荷作用下会经历多次应力循环,最大应力值超过材料屈服极限的11%。管路在横向冲击作用下的冲击疲劳寿命为3.95×10~4次。结论管路在冲击载荷作用下的最大应力响应发生在冲击输入的正向三角波之后,反向三角波之内,是由于惯性效应造成的响应滞后现象。管路固定端、弯头和三通是应力集中区域,管路疲劳破坏一般发生在这些局部区域。     

Modified activated carbon with interconnected fibrils of iron-oxyhydroxides using Mn2 + as morphology regulator, for a superior arsenic removal from water

The arsenic removal efficiency of iron-modified activated carbons depends greatly on the number of available iron oxide surface sites, which are given by the surface area of the anchored particles. In this sense, aiming the generation of an adsorbent with superior arsenic adsorption capacity, we developed a protocol to anchor interconnected fibrils of iron oxyhydroxides, using Mn^2 + as a morphology regulator. The protocol was based on a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, using bituminous based activated carbon and both Fe^2 + and Mn^2 + ions in the hydrolysis solution. The elemental analysis of modified carbons revealed that Mn does not anchor to the carbon. However, when Mn is included in the hydrolysis solution, the iron content in the activated carbon increased up to 3.5?wt%, without considerable decreasing the adsorbent surface area. Under specific hydrothermal conditions, the Mn^2 + promoted the formation of iron oxide nanoparticles shaped as interconnected fibrils. This material showed a superior arsenic adsorption capacity in comparison to similar iron modified activated carbons (5?mg As/g carbon, at 2?mg As/L), attributed to the increase in quantity and availability of active sites located on the novel interconnected fibrils of iron oxyhydroxides nanostructures.     

An improved and simple method for removal of arsenic from drinking water

<正>Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring element. The toxicity of arsenic is dependent on the specific arsenic species, and the concentration and duration of exposure to the arsenic species(Moe et al., 2016). Chronic human exposure to high concentrations of inorganic arsenic species has been associated with     

Low-carbon transition of iron and steel industry in China: Carbon intensity,economic growth and policy intervention

As the biggest iron and steel producer in the world and one of the highest CO₂ emission sectors, China's iron and steel industry is undergoing a low-carbon transition accompanied by remarkable technological progress and investment adjustment, in response to the macroeconomic climate and policy intervention. Many drivers of the CO₂ emissions of the iron and steel industry have been explored, but the relationships between CO₂ abatement, investment and technological expenditure, and their connections with the economic growth and governmental policies in China, have not been conjointly and empirically examined. We proposed a concise conceptual model and an econometric model to investigate this crucial question. The results of regression, Granger causality test and impulse response analysis indicated that technological expenditure can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, and that investment expansion showed a negative impact on CO₂ emission reduction. It was also argued with empirical evidence that a good economic situation favored CO₂ abatement in China's iron and steel industry, while achieving CO₂ emission reduction in this industrial sector did not necessarily threaten economic growth. This shed light on the dispute over balancing emission cutting and economic growth. Regarding the policy aspects, the year 2000 was found to be an important turning point for policy evolution and the development of the iron and steel industry in China. The subsequent command and control policies had a significant, positive effect on CO₂ abatement.

水平管道泄爆面开启压力对甲烷爆燃压力的影响*

为了研究泄爆面不同开启压力对甲烷爆燃压力的影响,针对受限空间内甲烷/空气混合物爆燃传播过程,建立由水平管道构成的数值模型。研究结果表明:水平管道内存在爆燃压力积聚和泄放的双重效应,随着泄爆面开启压力的增加,测点爆燃压力峰值增大而且测点间爆燃压力峰值差异逐渐减小;在泄爆面不同开启压力条件下,泄压效应造成泄爆面及外部空气域爆燃压力衰减,随着泄爆面开启压力的增加,泄爆面开启时间近似呈线性增大;与水平管道内和泄爆面附近测点相比,水平管道外侧测点的爆燃压力峰值和振荡幅值均显著衰减,而且随着泄爆面开启压力的增加,测点爆燃压力峰值及测点间爆燃压力峰值差异均逐渐增大。     

The physiological response and iron and potassium contents in the hairy roots of Brassica rape L. Under cadmium stress北大核心CSCD

The experiments were conducted to investigate the tolerance and enrichment capabilities by elucidating the physiological response and cadmium impact on iron and potassium accumulation amounts of brassica rape hairy roots under different cadmium concentrations by using liquid suspension culture method. The results showed the following. (1) The growth of hairy roots was not significantly different under low cadmium concentrations (below 100 μmol/L), whereas it was obviously inhibited under high cadmium concentrations (more than 100 μmol/L). Further, the maximum fresh weight of brassica rape hairy roots reached 4.34 g under 25 μmol/L cadmium stress after 7 days. (2) The content of ROS in brassica rape hairy roots increased with increasing concentrations of cadmium; the antioxidant enzyme activities of brassica rape hairy roots (SOD, POD, and CAT) decreased first and then increased with increasing cadmium concentrations under 1-day stress, whereas showed an opposite trend under 7-day stress. (3) PI staining and MDA content indicated that cellular damage was more serious with increasing cadmium concentrations. (4) With the increase of cadmium concentrations, cadmium content of hairy roots increased and reached maximum of 2.97 mg/g under 400 μmol/L cadmium stress after 7 days. The iron content also increased significantly with the maximal weight of 14.52 mg/g after 1-day cadmium stress, whereas no significant difference was noted under 7-day cadmium stress. The potassium content under 7-day cadmium stress was 1.6 times of that after 1-day stress (15.73 mg/g). The study showed that the physiological response of Brassica rape hairy roots was correlated with the concentration and time of cadmium stress. Moreover, cadmium stress caused metabolic disorders of iron and potassium in the hairy roots, but the hairy roots of Brassica rape had better enrichment effect on cadmium. © 2018 Science Press.
