The Quagga Mussel Crisis at Lake Mead National Recreation Area,Nevada (U.S.A.)

Abstract: Parks are cornerstones of conservation; and non‐native invasive species drive extensive changes to biological diversity in parks. Knowing this, national park staff at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in the southwestern United States had a program in place for early detection of the non‐native, invasive quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis). Upon finding the mussel in January 2007, managers moved quickly to access funding and the best available science to implement a response. Managers considered four options—doing nothing, closing the park, restricting movement on the lakes, and educating and enforcing park visitors—and decided to focus on education and enforcing existing laws. Nonetheless, quagga spread throughout the park and soon began to appear throughout the western United States. I examined why efforts to control the expansion failed and determined the general lessons to be learned from this case. Concentrating human visitation on the lakes through land‐use zoning opened a pathway for invasion, reduced management options, and led to the rapid spread of quagga. To reconcile competing mandates to protect nature and provide recreation, zoning in parks has become a common practice worldwide. It reduces stress on some areas of a park by restricting and thus concentrating human activity in particular areas. Concentrating the human activity in one area does three things: cements pathways that repeatedly import and export vectors of non‐native invasive species; creates the disturbed area necessary to enable non‐native invasive species to gain a foothold; and, establishes a source of invasions that, without appropriate controls, can quickly spread to a park's wilderness areas.     

工业废水与生活污水合并处理方案研究

对工业废水和生活污水进行科学规划后合并处理可以大大提高污水处理的环境效益、经济效益和社会效益。合并处理可以降低污水厂的建设和运行费用,提高工业废水的处理效果,但工业废水中的有毒有害物质会影响生活污水处理效果和再生水品质。胶州市工业园区的废水特征污染物较复杂,因此根据不同工业园区的特点提出了不同的处理方案,对含重金属和有毒有害物质的园区工业废水进行初步处理再与生活污水进行合并,对仅含有高CODCr、高氨氮或油污的工业废水直接与生活污水进行合并处理。

基于智能电网大数据的工业企业大气污染排放特征研究

本文尝试构建基于智能电网大数据的工业企业污染排放预测方法。通过分析上海大中型工业企业用电量与工业总产出、工业总产出与主要污染物直接排放量之间的关联关系,本文建立了工业企业基于用电量的直接污染排放清单估算方法。利用此估算方法,可在实时的智能电网大数据基础上估算工业企业直接污染排放量,服务于大气污染的实时预警和预测。本文研究表明,这种清单估算方法可直接应用于工业企业污染的实时防控,既可服务于政府大气污染监测、应急机制启动时防控对象的选择,也可服务于未来的污染物排放权实时交易市场的供需分析等,是大数据在污染防治领域应用的可行路径。

Application of Zr(IV) tungstate for removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions

A heteropolyacid Zr(IV) tungstate-based cation exchanger has been synthesized. An amorphous sample, prepared at pH 1.2 and having a Na⁺ ion exchange capacity of 0.92?meq?g^?1, was selected for further studies. Its physicochemical properties were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, and scanning electron studies. To understand the cation exchange behavior of the material, distribution coefficients (K _d) for metal ions in various solvent systems were determined. Some important binary separations of metal ions, namely Mg²⁺–Bi³⁺, Cd²⁺–Bi³⁺, Fe³⁺–Bi³⁺, Th⁴⁺–Bi³⁺, and Fe³⁺–Zn²⁺, were achieved on such columns. The practical utility of these separations was demonstrated by separating Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions quantitatively in commercial pharmaceutical formulation. The cation exchanger has been successfully applied also for the treatment of industrial wastewater and a synthetic mixture. All the results suggests that Zr(IV) tungstate has excellent potential for the removal of metals from aqueous systems using packed columns of this material.     

武汉城市圈制造业集聚的实证研究

采用调整后的产业集聚EG指标,结合产业集中度指数,对武汉城市圈2000～2007年制造业19个行业的集聚程度进行了精确的测度,并分别从制造业集聚度变动趋势、产业集聚度特征、产业集聚空间分布特征、增长集聚弹性等角度进行了详细的分析。结果表明：考察期间武汉城市圈制造业的区域集聚度较高,而且中高技术行业集聚特征十分明显,资源性和低技术行业较为分散;从行业的区域集聚空间分布特征来看,产业集中度较高,主要集中在武汉、黄石、孝感和黄冈4市,其它5个城市产业集中度较低,城市上榜次数较少,且上榜行业主要集中在资源性和低技术行业,形成了以武汉等4市为中心,其它5市为外围的“中心 外围”结构;构建的产业集聚弹性模型计算结果表明,整体上城市圈制造业集聚弹性较大,但不同行业间的弹性值差距明显。
