EXPANDING WASTE WATER TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS AT CORPS OF ENGINEERS RECREATION AREAS1

ABSTRACT. There have been many changes in the waste water treatment requirements at St. Louis District Corps of Engineers projects over the past few years. Discussed are the methods considered for treating these wastes. Extended aeration plant, followed by filtration, is the process used in most of the areas. The treatment plant operators have become key members of the project operation team. A discussion of the Districts operator training program is presented along with the operator's job requirements. Through a Spring inspection of all treatment plants in the District, a mechanism has been provided for encouraging feedback to the design engineer from the operator.     

黏性颗粒在滤料表面沉积的动态模拟及规律

为研究颗粒黏性对过滤除尘性能的影响,分析了颗粒沉积过程的受力情况,应用颗粒流计算软件PFC2D对颗粒在滤料表面的沉积行为进行了数值模拟。结果表明:颗粒形成粉尘层的过程中主要受到风流力、惯性力等压缩力和范德华力、滚动摩擦力偶矩等压缩阻力的作用,颗粒黏性的增加,会使颗粒间滚阻系数和摩擦系数显著增加;PFC可实现粉尘颗粒在滤料表面沉积过程的可视化,得到不同黏性颗粒在滤料表面的沉积形态,滚阻系数或摩擦系数越大,粉尘层孔隙率越大,过滤阻力越小,其中,摩擦系数的影响作用弱于滚阻系数。     

袋式除尘器滤袋接缝方法对PM_(2.5)过滤效率的影响

针对袋式除尘器超低排放及对PM_(2.5)细颗粒物的捕集控制问题,选用分别经缝合、热熔两种制袋工艺制作的滤袋进行试验,探讨不同袋身接缝方法对袋式除尘器滤袋PM_(2.5)过滤效率的影响。结果表明:1 m/min过滤风速时,清洁状态下热熔滤袋对PM_(2.5)的过滤效率要比缝合滤袋高12.59%,而集尘状态下随滤袋表面粉尘负荷的不同,热熔滤袋对PM_(2.5)的过滤效率要比缝合滤袋高8.68%~11.18%;随过滤风速增加,缝合滤袋对PM_(2.5)过滤效率的衰减幅度要远大于热熔滤袋;滤袋表面尘饼的形成和分布的均匀性是缩小缝合滤袋与热熔滤袋间过滤效率差距的重要因素。     

Three accidents in European dynamite production plants: An attempt to improve the external lessons learning

Three serious accidents occurred in three dynamite manufacturing plants within three European countries during a relatively short time period triggering the question of effective external learning. The article discusses the lessons for the prevention of accidents learned from retrospective comparative analysis. It advocates for a better process for learning lessons. It attempts to show how a two level approach to accident analysis may help to reveal a common deeper learning hidden under diverse routine lessons.     

气箱式脉冲袋式除尘器清灰技术

为了深入认识气箱式脉冲袋式除尘器的清灰机理,按可压缩气体绝热状态和等温状态分别计算了脉冲质量流量和气箱中气体压力、密度的变化,进一步推导出穿过滤袋的清灰气流速度方程和清灰剥离力方程.按照在袋式除尘器实验模型上所测定的粉尘剥离率与清灰剥离力之间的特性关系,确定了已知条件下的粉尘剥离率.若预先确定要求达到的粉尘剥离率,可以通过清灰气流速度方程和剥离力方程确定脉冲清灰系统的几何参数、脉冲喷吹压力、脉冲喷吹时间和分室内的过滤面积(或滤袋直径、滤袋长度和滤袋数量等).该理论和实验研究内容为气箱式脉冲袋式除尘器脉冲清灰系统设计计算提供了理论依据.     

一种离子液体——溴化1-辛基—3-甲基咪唑对大型溞摄食强度的影响

用计数法研究了一种离子液体--溴化I-辛基-3-甲基咪唑对大型溞滤水率和摄食率的影响及恢复条件下子代大型溞摄食强度的变化,以初步探讨离子液体对水生生态系统可能的影响.实验结果表明:离子液体显著降低了母代大型溞的滤水率和摄食率,最低浓度(7μg·L-1)处理组二者分别比对照下降了26.5%和20.6%,最高浓度处理组(112μg·L-1)二者下降了84%和80%;子代的滤水率和摄食率也受到抑制,且抑制程度大于母代,在离子液体浓度为112μg·L-1时子代第3胎幼潘滤水率和摄食率的下降比率高达95.5%和94.3%.将母体暴露于不同浓度离子液体的大型溞的子代第1胎和第3胎幼溞转入恢复实验,较低浓度处理组其摄食行为得到一定的恢复,但高浓度处理组仍受到较强的抑制,约比对照下降了80%.因此,离子液体严重影响了大型溞的摄食强度,对水生生态系统安全具有潜在的威胁.

硅胶色层分析土壤中水溶性腐殖酸

采用水浸取法和硅胶色层法，通过紫外吸收光谱峰定性鉴定了英格兰七种土壤水溶性腐殖酸。沉积土中水溶性腐殖酸均展示了二组峰值，而在草原土中低分子量组份消失。选用γ谱仪测定了沉积土水溶性腐殖酸中的放射性核素^137Cs，采用中子活化测量技术分析了常量钠和氯。结果表明，在高盐含量的沉积土中存在的大量竞争络合离子钠可能是使放射性核素^137Cs与沉积土中水溶性腐殖酸没有直接关系的原因。     

SPACSYS: Integration of a 3D root architecture component to carbon, nitrogen and water cycling—Model description

It is an ongoing challenge to develop and demonstrate management practices that increase the sustainability of agricultural systems. Soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics directly affect soil quality, crop productivity and environmental impacts. Root systems are central to the acquisition of water and nutrients by plants, but are also a major pathway for the inputs of carbon and nutrients to soil. The complexity of both biotic and abiotic interactions, combined with stochastic changes in root architecture, makes it difficult to understand below-ground dynamics on the basis of experimentation alone. The integration of dynamic models of above-ground growth, three-dimensional root system demography, and interactions between plants and the environment, into one single model is a major challenge because of the complexity of the systems.In order to understand the interaction between a plant and the environment, it is advantageous to develop a model framework to integrate submodels that simulate various plant and environmental components. The objective of this paper is to outline a mechanistic and process-based model, which is capable of simulating interactions among environmental conditions around plants, plant growth and development, nitrogen and carbon cycles, with a three-dimensional root system submodel as an interface.The model presented in this paper is a mixed dimensional, multi-layer, field scale, weather-driven and daily time-step dynamic simulation model. The current version includes a plant growth and development component, a nitrogen cycling component, a carbon cycling component, plus a soil water component that includes representation of water flow to field drains as well as downwards through the soil layers, together with a heat transfer component. The components themselves and linkage among components are designed using object-oriented techniques, which makes the model robust, understandable and reusable. The components are implemented in the C++ programming language, and inputs and outputs of all components are organised as a database in either Microsoft^® SQL Server 2000, Access 2000 or MySQL5.0. Root architecture is visualised by using the OpenGL graphics system. Preliminary validation with two separate experimental datasets shows that the model can reasonably simulate root systems, nitrogen cycling, water movement and plant growth.
