A Comparison of Precipitation Sensors Used on the Wet-Only Collectors

The variability in performance of three precipitation sensor types, mounted on three identical wet-only collectors, has been compared for eight months at a single site. The catch efficiencies, determined from the sample volumes, are relatively high for these three apparatuses, since they exceed 89% on average. The recorded data of openings and closings of collector lids reveal that the highest losses of collection efficiency, observed for rainfalls of low intensity and low amount, are largely imputable to design and running characteristics of each sensor. Ionic compositions between the samples of these three collectors are relatively close, although significant differences are especially found for H⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and K⁺, suggesting that these apparatuses are differently exposed to the dry deposition of soil particles. The RS 85 sensor seems to be the most suitable one of the three, since it ensures a high catch efficiency for all rain types and tends to limit the exposures of funnel to the dry deposition.

Trends of air pollution in the Fichtelgebirge Mountains, Bavaria

We analyzed 13 years of hourly measurements of SO₂, NO_x, and O₃, at forest ecosystem research sites in SE Germany. A quasi-continuous data record was obtained by combining data sets from two locations. Before interpreting trends in the combined data set, we analyzed if the change of location introduced a systematic bias. We employed autocorrelation functions, Hurst statistics, complexity analysis, and recurrence quantification and found that the partial data sets exhibited no indication of the presence of any bias. For SO₂, we also compared the data from the forest sites with data obtained in nearby cities and also found no indications for any systematic effects. Applying nonparametric trend statistics we found a significant decrease of the SO₂. Most of the observed decrease is due to the reductions of SO₂ emissions in eastern Germany, but reductions in western Germany and the Czech Republic also played important roles. For O₃, we observed a significant increase, the causes of which are unclear from our data alone. No trend was identified for NO_x.     

城市区域土壤铅含量空间变异的多尺度研究进展

我国城市土壤仍存在Pb的严重富集,准确地评价土壤Pb污染水平和范围是进行科学的土壤Pb污染风险评估和管理的基础.城市土壤Pb含量的空间变异性强且结构复杂,现有的大多数研究在单一空间尺度上开展,不足以全面揭示空间结构特征,不利于促进更加科学的风险评估和管理.因此,探寻一种能够全面揭示城市土壤Pb含量的空间结构信息的方法尤为重要.为了实现这一目的,本文首先分析了造成城市土壤Pb含量高空间变异性的主要因素:污染源的多样性、污染过程的层次性,以及城市景观的异质性.在此基础上归纳出城市土壤Pb含量的空间变异特征——由3个空间层次嵌套而成的等级结构.在此概念性的空间结构之上提出一个基于地统计学理论、以线性混合效应模型为核心的方法框架,可以将城市土壤Pb含量的空间结构划分为3个层次:全局趋势、具有空间自相关的随机变异以及异常高值点.最后,提出完善城市土壤Pb含量空间变异多尺度研究的重点是:探讨更加高效的空间抽样策略;确定特征尺度.     

太湖氮磷营养盐大气湿沉降特征及入湖贡献率

2009年8月—2010年7月在太湖流域不同区域10个采样点收集降水样品230多个,测定其中不同形态N,P营养盐的质量浓度,分析太湖大气湿沉降中N,P营养盐沉降特征,计算N,P营养盐湿沉降率及其占太湖河流入湖负荷的贡献率. 结果表明:湿沉降中ρ(TN)年均值为3.16 mg/L,DTN(溶解性总氮)占TN的70%以上,其中以NH₄+-N为主;湿沉降中ρ(TN)年均值最高值出现在南部湖区,最低值出现在北部湖区. 湿沉降中ρ(TP)年均值为0.08 mg/L,相对较低. 5个区域湿沉降中不同形态N的质量浓度均表现为冬季高、夏季低,而不同形态N,P的湿沉降量均为夏季最大. 南部、东部湖区TN的湿沉降率相对较大. 各采样点湿沉降中NH₄+-N沉降率约占DTN沉降率的30.4%～52.0%,NO₃--N沉降率约占DTN的31.6%;各区域间湿沉降中DTP(溶解性总磷)占TP的比例差异较大. 大气湿沉降中TN和TP的年沉降总量分别为10 868 和247 t,为同期河流入湖负荷的18.6%和11.9%,湿沉降对太湖富营养化的贡献及可能带来的水生态系统的影响不容忽视.      

Preparation and catalytic properties of ZrO2-Al2O3 composite oxide supported nickel catalysts for methane reforming with carbon dioxide

ZrO2-Al2O3 composite oxides and supported Ni catalysts were prepared, and characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The catalytic performance and carbon deposition was also investigated. This mesoporous composite oxide is shown to be a promising catalyst support. An increase in the catalytic activity and stability of methane and carbon dioxide reforming reaction was resulted from the zirconia addition, especially at 5wt% ZrO2 content. The Ni catalyst supported ZrO2-Al2O3 has a strong resistance to sintering and the carbon deposition in a relatively long-term reaction.     

The GANE Roof Project: The impact of reduced N & S deposition and experimental warming in an acid grassland

A field-based system used to quantify the response of acid grassland to reduced atmospheric nitrogen and sulphur deposition, and to investigate the effects of elevated soil temperature on acid grassland development is described. The system is based on 12 retractable roofs, covering undisturbed experimental plots of acid grassland and three controls. Nine roofs are used to exclude natural precipitation and three roofs used to retain emitted IR radiation at night. An irrigation system has been developed to simulate natural precipitation, allowing for the application of specific treatment regimes of ambient, reduced nitrogen and reduced nitrogen/sulphur deposition beneath the nine rain exclusion plots. Plant, soil parameters, leachate chemistry and gaseous fluxes are being monitored and initial results on soil water chemistry are described. Warming appeared to enhance nitrate concentrations in soil water but this was not sustained beyond the first year of treatment. In contrast, the deposition reduction treatments decreased soil water nitrate concentrations within a few weeks of reducing deposition. This was not observed for other solutes such as sulphate or ammonium suggesting a more direct link between deposition of nitrate and leaching losses.

天然气水合物水力提升中继舱舱体沉积安全性分析

针对天然气水合物水力提升过程中中继舱部件的沉积安全性问题,为了避免中继舱因沉积过多而导致整个提升系统的瘫痪,利用流场模拟软件CFD,分析了不同结构对中继舱内部流场的影响,对比了正方体、球体和圆柱体3种不同中继舱结构下的颗粒沉积情况、内部流速分布、粗细颗粒以及海水体积分数分布情况,得出圆柱体结构的安全性要优于另外两种结构。研究了圆柱体结构在不同工况下的沉积情况与安全性。结果表明:增加粗颗粒浓度,粗颗粒直径以及粗颗粒的密度都会导致中继舱沉积厚度增加,安全性降低,而增加进口速度则会导致中继舱沉积厚度减小,安全性有所提高。
