植物地上部分对大气CO2浓度升高的响应

大气CO2浓度升高对植物的影响，主要是促进了植物生长早期的光合作用，同时也增加了对其他资源的需求；植物的光合作用也存在对高CO2浓度的适应，不会一直维持较高的光合水平，而且植物的呼吸作用也可能会增加；大气CO2浓度升高和其他环境条件，如水分，温度和光照等对植物生长和产量存在相互作用，可以部分弥补条件的不足，也影响作物和杂草的竞争关系；自然植物群落由于有很高的多样性和复杂性，对其研究应该在生物群落水平上进行，用外推法回到植物水平，而不是相反，而且自然物种间的竞争是激烈的，CO2浓度升高或其他因素带来的任何改善，都会明显地改变竞争平衡。     

Explosion regions and limiting oxygen concentrations of methyl propionate,methyl acetate,dimethyl carbonate with air and inert gas mixtures

New data about explosion regions with special focus on limiting oxygen concentrations for methyl propionate, methyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate with air in the presence of nitrogen, helium and carbon dioxide were determined at ambient initial pressure and 423 K. The measurements were executed according to EN 1839 method T. The changes of the explosion regions with temperature and type of inert gas were also modeled mathematically using an extended calculated adiabatic flame temperature profile (CAFTP) method. The shift of the explosion region boundaries with temperature when switching from nitrogen to carbon dioxide were reproduced well. For a switch to helium a good agreement could be reached only if the very high thermal conductivity of helium had been considered properly by using the Lewis number. This requires the knowledge of the respective Lennard-Jones parameters. The LOC of helium-containing mixtures can, however, be calculated with acceptable accuracy even if the Lennard-Jones parameters of the flammable substance are not known exactly by using reasonable estimations.     

Improvement of detection method of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in reclaimed water

Cryptosporidium and Giardia are two typical species of pathogenic protozoans that seriously endanger water quality. Previous works indicated that detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia with modified United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) method-1623 using a membrane filtration-elution for sample concentration attained better recovery and lower cost compared to the USEPA method-1623. Several improvements of membrane filtration-elution step as well as immunomagnetic separation (IMS) steps were investigated and an optimized method for detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in wastewater reclamation system was recommended in this paper. The experimental results show that an overnight soak of the membrane after scraping and vortex agitation before elution could enhance and stabilize the recovery. Increasing turbidity to 4 NTU by adding kaolin clay before filtration could effectively improve the recovery of low-turbidity water. Washing the concentrate after centrifugation and twice acid dissociation both reduced the impact of water quality to protozoan recovery. Protozoans in different water samples were determined by this optimized method, and the recovery of Cryptosporidium and Giardia were above 70% and 80% respectively, much higher than the acceptance of method-1623. __________ Translated from Environmental Science, 2006, 27(12): 2547–2552 [译自: 环境科学]     

Afforestation for reduction of NOX concentration in Lanzhou China

Lanzhou is one of the major industrial cities in northwest China, the capital of Gansu Province, and located at a northwest-to-southeast oriented valley basin with elevation about 1500–1600-m. Due to topographic and meteorological characteristics, Lanzhou is one of the most polluted cities in China. Meteorological conditions (low winds, stable stratification especially inversion), pollutant sources and sinks affect the air quality. Lanzhou government carried out afforestation and pollutant-source reduction (closing several heavy industrial factories) to improve the air quality for the past two decades. In this study, effect of afforestation on reducing the NO_X concentration is investigated numerically using RAMS-HYPACT model.     

多种环境雌激素对淡水鱼联合毒性作用的预测和评价

为预测和评价多种环境激素对生物的联合毒性效应,通过对雄性鲫鱼卵黄蛋白原诱导作用探讨了17β-雌二醇、17α-乙炔基雌二醇、双酚A、辛基苯酚等几种环境雌激素联合作用的环境影响.确定了每种化合物的剂量-效应曲线,混合物由单个化合物等毒性固定浓度比例混合而成,实验得出的混合物效应与通过浓度相加或反应相加作用模型计算得出的混合物效应比较.结果有很好的一致性.上述结果证明了类雌激素化合物呈现相加作用方式,即使在单独作用无显著效应的较低浓度下也可产生显著的混合物效应,混合物效应可通过两类模型预测.由于环境污染物组成往往不明确,通过浓度相加作用模型预测的结果较为保守,在环境风险评价中更加实用.     

Effects of COD/N ratio and DO concentration on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in an airlift internal circulation membrane bioreactor

The effects of chemical oxygen demand and nitrogen(COD/N)ratio and dissolved oxygen concentration(DO)on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification(SND)were investigated using an airlift internal circulation membrane bioreactor(AIC-MBR)with synthetic wastewater.The results showed that the COD efficiencies were consistently greater than 90% regardless of changes in the COD/N ratio.At the COD/N ratio of 4.77 and 10.04,the system nitrogen removal efficiency became higher than 70%.However,the nitrogen rem...

大气扩散浓度估算在锅炉房烟囱高度计算中的应用

锅炉房的烟囱已从单纯的排气装置发展成为控制污染、保护环境的设备。因此烟囱高度的正确估算对于环境影响评价工作、建设单位都至关重要。结合唐山某城区集中供热锅炉房环境影响评价案例,利用大气扩散浓度公式估算锅炉房烟囱高度。在计算过程中,考虑了烟气流速及当地常年风向、风速、稳定度等污染气象特征,由正态分布模式导出的简化公式导出最大着地浓度与烟囱有效高度的平方成反比,从而计算出烟囱高度。另外还总结烟囱设计中应注意的一些问题,为建有锅炉房的建设项目环境影响评价工作提供参考。     

DO浓度对生活污水硝化过程中N2Ｏ产生量的影响

为确定污水脱氮过程中最优的DO浓度和曝气方式,以提高污水处理效率,降低N₂Ｏ产生量,采用实际生活污水应用小试SBR反应器,重点考察了不同DO浓度条件下,硝化效率和硝化过程中N₂Ｏ的产生量.结果表明,当DO浓度恒定为0.4 mg·L^-1时,虽然硝化过程所消耗的能量最低,但其氨氮氧化的速率较低.提高DO浓度,氨氮氧化速率可随之升高.低氨氮生活污水硝化过程中仍有N₂Ｏ产生.DO浓度为0.4 mg·L^-1 和0.9 mg·L^-1时,污水N₂Ｏ产生量(以N计)分别为1.5 mg·L^-1和1.6 mg·L^-1;而DO浓度为1.5 mg·L^-1和2.0 mg·L^-1时,N₂Ｏ产生量则分别降低至0.5 mg·L^-1和0.4 mg·L^-1.当DO浓度高于1.5 mg·L^-1后,继续提高DO浓度,氨氮氧化速率升高的速率变缓,同时N₂Ｏ产生量大幅降低.因此,从提高污水脱氮效率节能降耗和控制N₂Ｏ产生量2个角度考虑,生活污水脱氮过程中控制DO浓度在1.5 mg·L^-1较为适宜.     

苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸特性研究

采用MIE-D1.2型最小点火能测试装置及20 L球型粉尘爆炸测试装置,对苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘的爆炸特性进行研究。结果表明,过74μm、58μm、47μm孔径筛的粉尘对静电火花敏感,其最小点火能表征值分别为610 mJ、361 mJ、201 mJ。随粉尘质量浓度增加,最小点火能呈现先减小后增加的规律。随粉尘粒径减小,最小点火能与粉尘质量浓度变化关系曲线向低粉尘质量浓度和低点火能量方向偏移,且对应的最敏感爆炸质量浓度从500 g/m~3降至200 g/m~3。随粉尘质量浓度增加,过147μm、74μm、47μm孔径筛的苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸压力及爆炸压力上升速率呈现先增加后减小趋势。在相同粉尘质量浓度下,中位径小于74μm的苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘,粉尘的爆炸压力增幅明显减小。苯乙烯丙烯酸共聚物/碳黑混合体系粉尘爆炸下限质量浓度为25 g/m~3,最大爆炸指数为14.636 MPa·m/s,爆炸危险等级划分为St1。
