基于流域地形地貌特征的分布式汇流方法

以长江三峡区间沿渡河流域为例,采用HEC-HMS水文模型系统为模拟工具,基于流域下垫面特征和水动力条件提出了一种分布式单位线方法,并应用于降雨径流过程模拟。以自然分水线划分子流域,基于DEM数据和GIS工具提取河网水系特征。采用7种模型评估指标,分别从总量平衡,过程拟合,高水流量和低水流量4个角度评判模型的模拟效果及精度,并给出了模型模拟结果的量化统计指标。模拟结果表明:25场洪水中,洪峰流量相对误差小于20%的有80%,径流深相对误差小于20%的有96%,Nash-Sutcliffe效率系数大于0.8的有84%。由此可知,提出的分布式汇流方法可有效利用流域下垫面特征和GIS工具提取模型参数信息,适应于无资料流域的降雨径流过程模拟应用。     

大型再生水厂不同工艺的COD、TN和TP去除效果及其影响因素分析

以北京某大型再生水厂为研究对象,通过统计分析历史数据,系统研究了2008和2013年不同工艺(倒置A2/O工艺、A2/O工艺、A2/OMBR工艺)中主要污染物COD、TN和TP去除效果的年际、年内汛期、寒冷季和温暖季的变化特征,并分析了2013年这3种污染物去除效果变化的影响因素.结果表明,同2008年相比,2013年不仅进水的COD浓度升高,TN浓度和TP浓度降低,导致进水的碳/氮/磷比值从2008年的100∶14.5∶1.4升高到2013年的100∶10.1∶0.9,而且主要污染物去除效果均有明显改善,改善幅度依次为TPCODTN.年内变化特征表现为:汛期进水COD、TN和TP的浓度降低但波动加剧,它们的去除率降低,因此汛期出水COD稳定、TN浓度降低而TP浓度波动;温暖季进水COD、TN和TP的浓度高,它们的去除率有不同程度提高,因此温暖季出水的TN浓度波动较大、COD和TP浓度稳定.冗余分析(RDA)结果表明,一期倒置A2/O工艺的出水TN和TP浓度同步波动,主要受工况变化影响,脱氮除磷的碳源竞争是导致出水TN浓度降低、TP浓度升高的重要原因.二期A2/O工艺的出水COD浓度和TN浓度主要受进水水质波动影响.三期A2/O-MBR工艺的出水水质最稳定,膜运行性能至关重要.     

青岛大气气溶胶中铁的溶解度及其影响因素

大气气溶胶的干湿沉降带来的铁对海洋初级生产和固碳能力有着重要影响,但这种影响从根本上决定于沉降铁的溶解度.本文利用2012年12月在青岛连续采集的31个总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)样品,分析了其中微量元素Fe的总浓度和溶解态浓度,讨论了颗粒物浓度、气溶胶来源及酸化过程对Fe溶解度的影响.结果表明,气溶胶中Fe的总浓度和溶解态浓度分别为(3248±1683)ng·m-3和(43.3±16.4)ng·m-3,溶解度为0.57%~4.86%,平均为1.63%±1.02%.随着气溶胶中总Fe浓度的增加,Fe溶解度呈现规律性降低.气溶胶中Fe的溶解度与富集因子(EF)无相关关系,而与无机和有机酸性离子存在显著正相关关系.气团后向轨迹的聚类分析显示,观测期间,64.5%的气溶胶样品主要受北方沙尘源(DS)影响,35.5%的样品主要受到华北城市群等人为源(AS)影响.AS样品中Fe的溶解度平均为2.06%,高于DS样品中的1.36%.两组样品中Fe的EF值相当,但AS样品中酸性离子与溶解度的相关关系明显好于DS组,表明酸化过程可能是造成两组样品Fe溶解度差异的主要原因.     

Ecological-biogeochemical role of macrophytes in aquatic ecosystems of urbanized territories (an example of small water bodies of St. Petersburg)

The accumulation of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd) and biogenic elements (P, S, K, Ca, Na) in leaves has been studied in macrophytes of different ecological groups growing in small water bodies of St. Petersburg. The ecogeological and biogeochemical role of macrophytes in the water-aquatic plants-bottom sediments system and their contribution to the stability of aquatic ecosystem functioning under conditions of a megalopolis are considered. Prospects for using macrophytes for bioindication and phytoremediation of polluted aquatic ecosystems are discussed.     

An integrated methodology for environmental impacts and costs evaluation in industrial processes

The development of methods for process analysis has contributed to the improvement of production systems. In this context, many models and methodologies have been established in the literature in order to evaluate environmental performance of industrial processes, since it has become an important issue for society. However, few of them analyze environmental impacts and related costs simultaneously. So, this work presents an integrated methodology to perform this evaluation, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Activity-Based Costing (ABC) principles. The proposed methodology was applied in a metallurgical industry in Brazil. As result, it allowed to identify the production process stages which have critical environmental impacts and greatest contribution to increase environmental costs of the company.     

典型冰川退缩区铅的来源、累积及历史沉降——以青藏高原海螺沟冰川退缩区为例

为探究青藏高原东部陆地生态系统中铅的来源、累积分配过程及百年来大气铅的沉降状况，以贡嘎山海螺沟冰川退缩区为对象，利用冰川退缩区样地年龄可确定的优势，对160年来完整的植被演替序列进行了系统研究.采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（ICP-MS）测定了土壤和植物样品中的铅以及其他微量元素的含量，明确了铅在该地区生态系统中的含量和储量变化格局，并采用主成分分析（PCA）解析了土壤铅的潜在来源，评估了历史沉降铅的累积速率.结果表明，森林有机土壤是大气铅的重要汇集区域.大气沉降的铅主要累积于O层中，而C层土壤铅含量相对较低；植物地上部以树枝和树皮铅含量最高，树干铅含量最低.植被序列中不同树种的铅储量变化趋势和植被演替趋势成正相关.在植被生长期，铅储量因生物量增加而不断升高，而随着演替过程中植被的死亡而降低.整个演替系统铅的储量随冰川退缩时间显著增加，至1936年样地的云冷杉顶极群落达到最大值.PCA源解析表明有机土壤中57%左右的铅来自于人为来源铅的大气沉降过程，即外源污染的大气沉降是贡嘎山中铅的主要来源.进一步分析表明，中国西南地区和南亚地区（印度、孟加拉国等）是主要的污染潜在源区.在百年尺度上，大气来源沉降铅在冰川退缩区的平均累积速率为（8.87±3.55） mg/（m²·a）.此研究为探究铅在陆地生态系统中的来源、分配及累积，理解未来全球变化对铅的环境地球化学过程影响提供了经典范例与数据依据.     

Formation of Social Acceptability Judgments and Their Implications for Management of Rare and Little-Known Species

Abstract:  Effective policies for management of rare and little-known species (RLKS) must be not only scientifically valid and cost-effective but also consistent with prevailing social beliefs and values. Limited public awareness of RLKS, however, constrains efforts to frame such policies. Lacking public support, resistance to RLKS programs is likely, particularly when other uses and values are affected. The challenge lies in understanding how public judgments are formed, sustained, and altered. Although the lack of public support often is attributed to inadequate understanding of the scientific bases for policies, research indicates that judgments derive from a complex, albeit poorly understood, suite of factors, including context, trust, esthetics, and personal history. Steps that can enhance public understanding of RLKS management include (1) clarifying the rationale and impacts of policies on the species, (2) specifying the contextual setting, (3) outlining specific actions to be taken, and (4) identifying when and where policies will be employed. Failure to foster understanding and support will leave management dominated by conflict and continued species loss.     

Socio-environmental conflicts on hydropower: The São Luiz do Tapajós project in Brazil

Economic expansion and related resource and infrastructure needs provoke an increase of socio-environmental conflicts worldwide, and methodologies for their comprehensive analysis and understanding are necessary. The present paper suggests a methodology for the analysis of socio-environmental conflicts on hydropower, developed from a case study on the São Luiz do Tapajós project in Brazil. On the basis of qualitative semi-structured interviews, a stakeholder definition and conflict analysis were carried out. The analysis shows that at least five different sub-conflicts, each one with its own characteristics, can be distinguished, and that negotiation on many of these conflicts is difficult. Confrontation processes are therefore likely to occur. The current strategy of conflict treatment falls short of the situation; instead solutions must be sought looking at the underlying conflict causes. A restructuring of the energy policy and the approach to traditional populations is a necessary precondition if robust and comprehensive solutions on the current socio-environmental conflicts on hydropower in the Amazon were to be found.     

Fate of a stilbene-type fluorescent whitening agent (DSBP) in the presence of Fe(III) aquacomplexes: from the redox process to the photodegradation

The behaviour of 4,4′-bis(2-sulfostyryl)biphenyl (DSBP), a fluorescent whitening agent, was investigated in the presence of Fe(III) aquacomplexes at room temperature. In the dark, a two-step reaction was observed when adding Fe(III) to a solution of DSBP: an initial fast redox reaction between DSBP and the monomeric species Fe(OH)²⁺ and a slower reaction leading to the coagulation of oxidised DSBP and iron. This phenomenon is due to the formation of a complex or an ion-pair between Fe(II) and/or Fe(III) with oxidised DSBP and it probably occurs by charge neutralisation in our experimental conditions. The precipitation of DSBP depends on the initial concentration in Fe(OH)²⁺ and is achieved for a ratio [Fe(OH) ²⁺]/[DSBP] of 5 approximately. Under irradiation at 365 nm, a complicated behaviour was observed: a complexation of iron by oxidised DSBP favoured by irradiation and a degradation of DSBP induced by an intramolecular electron transfer in the complex or by a photoredox of Fe(OH)²⁺ species generating OH radicals in the supernatant. The complete degradation of DSBP is reached four times faster in the presence of Fe(III) with respect to the direct photolysis of DSBP alone. Moreover, the total mineralization of DSBP obtained in less than 120 h upon irradiation at 365 nm is only observed in the presence of the ferric ions, enlightening the efficiency of the method involving Fe(III) and UV irradiation.
