Gender response and safe carrying load limit for sugar industry workers

This study investigates the safe carrying load limit in relation to gender of workers in the sugar industry. A total of 632 workers (male and female) were interviewed following a physiological and psycho-physiological methodology. All of these workers were in the age groups of 21–30, 31–40 and ≥41 years. In this study, for the physiological methodology, both field and laboratory data were collected, which included heart rate, heart rate variability, energy expenditure and maximum rate of oxygen consumption. Information regarding hemoglobin content, weight, age, lean body weight, etc., was recorded to know the physical health of the workers. In the psycho-physiological evaluation, load-carrying limits were determined by the psychophysical rating of the load by workers from the selected age groups. By considering the physiological stresses and psycho-physiological evaluation, the safe carrying load limit was determined in head and back mode for male and female workers as per their age groups.     

Assessment of energy balance against the nutritional status of women carriers in the brickfields of West Bengal

The Indian brick industry is an unorganized sector in which large numbers of migrant women workers are employed. A survey was conducted on 62 women workers working in different brickfields of West Bengal to assess their physiological workload, nutritional profile, total energy expenditure and energy balance. Energy intake was calculated using physiological fuel values of carbohydrate, fat and protein. From the results it is seen that 13% of the sample population falls under severe (grade III) chronic energy deficiency. The average daily consumption of the workers was comparatively lower than their daily energy expenditure, considering the nature of the job which falls under heavy to extremely heavy categories. This negative energy balance is effectively observed in the nutritional anthropometry data. Thus, an immediate ergonomics intervention with better nutrition should be implemented to improve the health status of the workers so they can safely continue to work for a longer period.     

Hp-β-环糊精包络臭氧氧化去除水中PPCPs研究

为提高臭氧的稳定性,采用臭氧化Hp-β-环糊精溶液的方法对臭氧进行包络。考察了臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物的氧化特性,臭氧化量和Hp-β-环糊精浓度对臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物氧化能力的影响,并研究了臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物对二级出水中添加的10种药品和个人护理用品(PPCPs)的去除效果。结果表明:臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物具有持续的氧化能力,增加臭氧化量或Hp-β-环糊精浓度可显著提升臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物的氧化能力。臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物有较强的氧化性;向0.7 g/L的Hp-β-环糊精溶液中通入6 mg臭氧后,PPCPs的去除率为50%~70%,去除率受PPCPs分子结构影响。臭氧/Hp-β-环糊精包络物氧化可与其他氧化技术联合应用于污染物去除或用作臭氧化后的持续氧化。     

Aerobic N2O emission for activated sludge acclimated under different aeration rates in the multiple anoxic and aerobic process

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas that can be emitted during biological nitrogen removal. N₂O emission was examined in a multiple anoxic and aerobic process at the aeration rates of 600 mL/min sequencing batch reactor (SBR_L) and 1200 mL/min (SBR_H). The nitrogen removal percentage was 89% in SBR_L and 71% in SBR_H, respectively. N₂O emission mainly occurred during the aerobic phase, and the N₂O emission factor was 10.1% in SBR_L and 2.3% in SBR_H, respectively. In all batch experiments, the N₂O emission potential was high in SBR_L compared with SBR_H. In SBR_L, with increasing aeration rates, the N₂O emission factor decreased during nitrification, while it increased during denitrification and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). By contrast, in SBR_H the N₂O emission factor during nitrification, denitrification and SND was relatively low and changed little with increasing aeration rates. The microbial competition affected the N₂O emission during biological nitrogen removal.     

改性柠檬渣的结构特征及其对Cu2+的吸附性能

为研究柠檬渣对污水中Cu2+的吸附性能,利用H₂SO₄与NaOH对柠檬渣进行改性制备吸附剂,并采用响应曲面法对制备工艺进行了优化. 测试了吸附剂的比表面积、孔容与孔径等性能,并利用红外光谱(IR)、紫外光谱(UV)、差热分析(TG-DTA)、X射线衍射(XRD)、电镜(SEM)和能谱(EDS)对吸附剂进行了表征. 通过响应面法优化后的最佳改性条件:H₂SO₄改性后的炭化温度为80 ℃,NaOH改性后的炭化温度为90 ℃,w(NaOH)∶w(H₂SO₄)为0.3.改性后的柠檬渣较原柠檬渣比表面积由88.3 m2/g增至392.2 m2/g,灰分率降低了90.7%,碘吸附值提高了近5倍,孔径分布主要是中孔;柠檬渣属于无定型结构,改性后的柠檬渣有CC生成,形成了芳香烃,表面形成了密集的孔;改性后柠檬渣主要由碳元素组成,从而能有效吸附Cu2+,对Cu2+的吸附率能达到85.3%. 由红外分析可知,改性后的柠檬渣吸附Cu2+后3 804 cm-1处的吸收峰消失,说明Cu2+取代了这个吸收峰所代表的官能团及部分O—H中的H+.
