DO对高氨氮渗滤液短程生物脱氮反硝化过程动力学的影响

为考察实际高氨氮垃圾渗滤液短程生物脱氮过程DO对以NO2--N为电子受体反硝化动力学的影响,本研究采用缺氧/厌氧UASB-SBR生化系统处理实际高氨氮垃圾渗滤液,在SBR系统实现稳短程生物脱氮(120d运行)的基础上,取SBR反应器内的污泥进行pH8.0条件下不同DO浓度梯度反硝化批次试验,从而确定DO对以NO2--N为电子受体的溶解氧抑制系数(K′O)的影响.试验结果表明,DO对反硝菌的NO2--N还原活性具有明显影响,与缺氧状态相比,DO为0.4和0.6mg·L-1时,其还原活性分别降低了49.0%和16.3%左右.DO与NO2--N还原速率两者呈指数负相关.DO对NO2--N为电子受体K′O具有显著影响,存在明显的分段现象,每一DO范围内,K′O恒定.

稻田CO2通量对光强和温度变化的响应特征

采用涡度相关法对我国亚热带稻田生态系统CO2通量进行了连续监测,并对CO2通量随光强和温度变化的响应特征进行了分析.结果表明,白天稻田生态系统CO2通量对光强的响应过程可以用直角双曲线方程进行描述.随光强的增加,CO2通量(绝对值)呈增加趋势,当光强大于1 000μmol/(m2·s)时,CO2通量变化比较稳定.早、晚稻间以及不同生育期水稻的光量子利用效率和最大光合速率存在一定的差异.晚稻的光量子利用效率(0.046 5～0.099 9 μmol/μmol)高于早稻(0.0176～0.0541μmol/μmol),并以水稻生长旺盛期的光量子利用效率和最大光合速率最高.夜间稻田生态系统呼吸速率随土壤温度的升高呈指数增加,5 cm土层温度可以作为反映稻田呼吸速率变化的温度指标.早稻生长季生态系统呼吸对温度的变化明显较晚稻生长季更为敏感.     

交联壳聚糖-CdS颗粒可见光催化脱色甲基橙研究

利用壳聚糖对金属离子的配位络合作用和吸附性能,模拟生物矿化仿生制备交联壳聚糖/CdS复合粒子。以甲基橙为处理对象,氙灯模拟可见光,研究了该复合材料对甲基橙的降解脱色性能。用Langmuir-Hinshelwood方程从动力学的角度,考察了不同催化剂浓度、甲基橙的初始浓度、反应体系的pH值、外加无机阴离子等对甲基橙降解脱色的影响。结果表明,该复合材料的吸附性能和光催化活性产生的协同作用能较有效促进甲基橙染料的脱色,在低质量浓度条件下可见光催化过程为假一级反应。光催化剂的最佳用量为1.5g/L,甲基橙降解的最佳pH为4.0。Cl-和Br-均对MO的光催化脱色起抑制作用,而NO3-的添加明显促进MO的光催化速率。     

Corporate occupational exposure limits: An example of a strategy

Occupational exposure limits (OELs) developed by authorities play a key role in the implementation of programs to protect workers against hazardous chemicals. Unfortunately, many hazardous substances do not have OELs or the OEL could be outdated. To assure the health of the workers, it is therefore useful for companies to develop corporate OELs. An inhouse strategy will be presented hereafter. Expertise in toxicology, industrial hygiene, and occupational health should be available within the company and clear selection criteria for substances are needed. A corporate OEL is only developed for hazardous substances (e.g., carcinogenic or reprotoxic) with a high potential for worker exposure when an appropriate national OEL or threshold limit value is not available. The methodology to calculate corporate OELs is based on the existing methods for national or community OELs and also on the guidance from the European Union's (EU) regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). For carcinogenic substances with a nonthreshold mode of action, there is always a residual chance that a cancer develops even when the exposure of workers is low. To establish an OEL for these substances, the “German traffic light model” is recommended. It is pragmatic, defines an unacceptable, tolerable, and acceptable risk level when workers are exposed to these substances, and determines risk management for exposure reduction. Overall, the professional practice to develop OELs is a good example of corporate leadership to proactively protect the health of workers.     

Use of artificial roughness for performance enhancement of solar air heaters—a review

The performance characteristics of a solar air heater can effectively be improved by providing artificial roughness in the form of protrusions and dimples of various shapes, sizes, and orientations on the underside of heated surface. An extensive literature review on artificial roughness elements has been carried and the correlations developed for heat transfer and friction factor for roughened solar air collector have been discussed and presented in this paper. The performance parameter has also been computed and compared with various kinds and shapes of roughness geometries using correlations developed by various investigators. The optimum values of the roughness parameters obtained by several investigators have also been discussed.

Light transmission through intraocular lenses with or without yellow chromophore (blue light filter) and its potential influence on functional vision in everyday environmental conditions

In this research the factors used to evaluate the light transmission through two types of acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lenses, one that contained yellow chromophore that blocks blue light transmission and the other which did not contain that filter, were defined according to various light condition, e.g., daylight and at night. The potential influence of light transmission trough intraocular lenses with or without yellow chromophore on functional vision in everyday environmental conditions was analysed.     

Fate and transport of the β-adrenergic agonist ractopamine hydrochloride in soil–water systems

The feed additive ractopamine hydrochloride was fortified at four concentrations into batch vials containing soils that differed in both biological activity and organic matter(OM).Sampling of the liquid layer for 14 days demonstrated that ractopamine rapidly dissipated from the liquid layer. Less than 20% of the fortified dose remained in the liquid layer after 4 hr,and recoveries of dosed ractopamine ranged from 8 to 18% in the liquid layer at 336 hr. Sorption to soil was the major fate for ractopamine in soil:water systems, i.e., 42%–51% of the dose at14 days. The major portion of the sorbed fraction was comprised of non-extractables; a smaller fraction of the sorbed dose was extracted into water and acetone, portions which would be potentially mobile in the environment. Partitioning coefficients for all soils suggested strong sorption of ractopamine to soil which is governed by hydrophobic interactions and cation exchange complexes within the soil OM. Ractopamine degradation was observed, but to mostly non-polar compounds which had a higher potential than ractopamine to sorb to soil. The formation of volatiles was also suggested. Therefore, despite rapid and extensive soil sorption,these studies indicated a portion of ractopamine, present in manures used to fertilize soils,may be mobile in the environment via water-borne events.
