风化铬渣与新鲜铬渣中六价铬溶出特性的研究

采用直接淋浸法对风化铬渣及新鲜铬渣进行了六谷铬溶出的条件试验，60min的浸泡时间，80目以下的粒度对渣水比250g/200mL的新渣中Cr(VI)浸出率达69．4％，渣水比250g/200mL,500g/400mL,750g/600mL的风化渣中Cr(VI)的总溶出率分别为70．2％，86．3％，94．0％，其中第一次淋滤溶出率分别达48．1％，70．0％，81．6％，低PH值的淋浸水有利于Cr(VI)的浸出，在PH值为3时溶出率达高峰，Cr（VI）浸出质量比自然条件（近中性）高出14．1％－16．3％，增大管径和降低装置的滤面负荷可提高浸出效果，在直径80mm管径，500g铬渣装填料，滤面负荷9．95g/cm^2时，Cr（VI）溶出率达98．7％，真空抽滤可提高Cr（VI）浸出速率，但降低了滤液中Cr（VI）的浓度和溶出质量，上述试验结果表明了直接淋浸法回收铬渣中六价铬的可行性，并可作为工业化装置的设计参数。     

南方天然水体DOM的化学分级、变化特征及三卤甲烷生成势(THMFP)特性研究

采用XAD树脂吸附法,在春季内(3～5月)连续对南方深圳水库中的水体溶解性有机物(DOM)进行化学分级表征.结果表明,天然水体DOM的总量和单个化学分级组分含量在一个季节会发生一定的波动,但总的分布特征在季节内未发生根本变化,即憎水酸(HoA)和亲水部分(HiM)浓度始终较高,而憎水碱(HoB)、憎水中性物(HoN)、弱憎水酸(WHoA)浓度则相对较低.同时,选取代表性时间点对DOM各化学分级组分进行了消毒副产物三卤甲烷生成势(THMFP)的研究,发现三卤甲烷(THMs)的主要前驱物为憎水和弱憎水有机部分,对THMFP的贡献共占约80%.进一步研究发现,憎水中性物、憎水酸、弱憎水酸的THMs生成能力较强,总体上与紫外吸收能力基本一致;但弱憎水酸表现略有不同,其SUVA(100×UV254/DOC)值并不十分突出,但三卤甲烷生成能力却明显较高,说明DOM的紫外吸收特性不能完全作为THMFP特性的替代指标.亲水物质(HiM)的SUVA值也不高,但其THMs生成能力接近憎水酸部分,值得水处理工艺研究重点关注.     

我国生物多样性保护体制及其改进建议

在对我国生物多样性保护的政策和体制进行详细阐述的基础上分析其中存在的主要问题,提出改进建议.首先分析了生物多样性保护的实质,认为所谓生物多样性保护就是通过有意识地限制和调节人类活动对生物的干扰破坏,使地球上的生物多样性得以保持和恢复.因此,在本质上,生物多样性保护就是要协调人与自然之间业已失衡的关系,其目标在于实现人与自然之间的和谐和可持续发展.其后,讨论了我国生物多样性保护面临的主要挑战,指出巨大的人口压力和剧烈的人类活动是造成生物多样性破坏的主要原因.特别针对保护体制中的多部门管理和协调机制、中央和地方政府的责任和义务、保护区设立和管理以及国际合作等方面进行了分析,指出了在多头管理的体制下,各部门职责、权利和资源分配不明确、不匹配,保护区管理中重减轻管、事企合一等问题.最后,提出了相应的政策建议.     

黄河中游水保措施对入黄干支流泥沙特性的影响:Ⅰ. 泥沙粒径变化

过去关于水土保持措施影响的研究多侧重于减水减沙的影响,对泥沙组成影响的研究则相对较少。本文以大量的实测资料为依据,以河口至龙门间区域自然与水土保持条件为背景,将水保措施类型、河道水流泥沙条件与流域地貌条件结合考虑,借助统计分析方法对采用水保措施前后该区域（尤其是与黄河中游水土流失密切相关的黄土高原与沙砾丘陵区域）的泥沙粒径分布变化进行了探讨。分析表明,泥沙粒径分布变化极其复杂,对应于不同地貌类型条件的泥沙组成遵循不同的分布规律。黄土丘陵区河流中的悬移质泥沙级配服从正态分布规律,而沙砾丘陵区河流中的泥沙级配则服从皮Ⅲ型分布规律。当分布函数的类型确定后,泥沙粒径分布由该分布函数的几个参数共同决定,这些参数分别反映了泥沙从流域表层搬运到对应级别河流的过程中地貌形态及水土保持措施的影响。文中由多学科综合研究得到的结论,对黄河中游水土保持效益研究具有重要意义。     

陕京二线输气管道工程场地区域地壳活动性与地质灾害

陕京二线是继陕京一线之后陕西天然气进京的又一条长输管道。管线横贯陕西、山西、河北三省,直到北京市,全长约851 km。该工程对调整沿线各省市的燃料结构与产业结构,进一步改善首都北京的大气环境质量,为 2008年北京成功举办“绿色、环保奥运”,具有深远的意义。陕京二线大部分线路区域地震地质构造十分复杂,地质灾害类型多样,对管道工程和人民生命财产安全潜在危害严重,查明线路的工程地质条件和各类地质灾害,并采取相应治理措施,对于管道顺利建设和安全营运十分重要。     

车库内氢气扩散和分布状态的数值模拟

为研究车库内氢气连续性泄漏的浓度分布和聚集状态,采用ICEM-CFD软件建模,利用Fluent软件对氢气连续性泄漏过程进行了模拟。通过分析监测点氢气物质的量分数、氢气分布和可燃性区域体积分数,研究了横梁及其间距(L)、自然通风、通风口面积(A)对车库内氢气的扩散和分布状态的影响。结果表明:在密闭状态下,无横梁时可燃性区域最小,L=3 m时可燃性区域最大;当A=0.5 m2时,在自然通风的作用下,车库底部氢气物质的量分数明显下降,但车库中部和上部氢气物质的量分数与密闭时相近;当A=1 m2时,虽然初始阶段氢气物质的量分数上升很快,但很快就趋于稳定,监测点氢气物质的量分数均在爆炸下限以下,此时自然通风能够消除氢气爆炸的风险。     

Towards sustainable consumption: Predicting the impact of social‐psychological factors on energy conservation intentions in Northern Cyprus

The incessant demand and consumption of energy services among individuals’ is increasing throughout the world. Individuals’ electricity consumption in Northern Cyprus has risen considerably. However, the demand for electrical energy services on the island is heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels has adverse effects on its environment. Therefore, sustainable energy consumption is required and individuals are targeted for energy conservation to reduce electricity consumption. Against this background, using the Structural Equation Modeling approach, this research incorporates social‐psychological factors; personal norms, positive and negative emotions into the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to assess the relationships among the variables, explain their impact on consumers’ electricity conservation intentions and enhance the explanatory power of the model. Data was conveniently obtained from a quantitative sample of 400 electricity consumers. The results indicate that negative emotions have the strongest significant influence on intentions, but personal norms have the least effect on intentions to save electricity. Furthermore, the study revealed that our expanded TPB model can provide improved explanatory power more than the original TPB. Policy implications, limitations and future research are discussed.     

Public Perceptions of California's Exceptional Drought

While the exceptional drought in California ended in 2017, the state is expected to experience similar droughts in the future. Understanding how individuals perceive the causes and consequences of drought will help frame future communication and planning efforts. We surveyed a panel of Californian residents about their perceptions of the 2012–2017 drought. We found a major disconnect in how our respondents perceived drought and water use. Respondents perceived the drought as being caused primarily by climatic factors and underestimated the role human water use, particularly agricultural use, had in exacerbating drought. Comparing our respondents across the state and across socio‐demographics, there were few differences in concern about drought but several differences in how residents thought drought should be managed. Such research can help water managers communicate about the specific concerns the public has about future droughts, as well as address misperceptions about the relationship between drought and water use.     

Clove as antioxidant additive in diesel–biodiesel fuel blends in diesel engines

Increased NOx emission from usage of biodiesel is a burning issue to be dealt with. Many techniques have been adopted to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines. The present experimental study deals with the analysis of performance and emission characteristics of Cotton Seed oil biodiesel with the addition of natural antioxidant extract of clove. FTIR analysis characterized the antioxidant by the presence of hydroxyl groups denoted by the corresponding wave number. The oxidation stability of the test samples was determined in terms of induction period by means of Rancimat test. The induction periods of the test fuel samples B100, B20, B20+CL1000, and B20+CL2000 were found to be 2.20 h, 2.73 h, 10.19 h, and 11.12 h, respectively. Thus, the addition of Clove antioxidant increased the oxidation stability of the biodiesel. Results show that the addition of antioxidant to biodiesel blend has increased the Brake Thermal Efficiency to a maximum of 4.71% and decreased the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption to a maximum of 6.25% at full-load conditions compared to Cotton Seed biodiesel blend. The addition of Clove extract antioxidant at a concentration of 1000 ppm and 2000 ppm decreases the NOx emission by 23.03% and 26.7%, respectively, at full-load conditions. However, CO emissions increased by 1.12% and 4.49% with the addition of CL1000 and CL2000 to B20, respectively. Similarly, HC emissions increased by 4.19% and 7.35% by the addition of CL1000 and CL2000 to B20, respectively. The increases in smoke with the addition of CL1000 and CL2000 to B20 were 42.48% and 47.71%, respectively.
