湖南古丈奥陶纪红石林地层特征与石灰岩沉积环境分析

湘西古丈红石林国家地质公园出露着奥陶系牯牛潭组红色石灰岩地层,含角石化石,被认为是海相红层.野外观察地层红色深浅与其层理/层次变化关系判断为近于同期形成,属原生色.水生化石存在红层中,前者反映水下缺氧条件,而红层指示着氧化环境,两种指示尖锐对立,意味着可能至少一方存在认识偏差.采样分析结果表明,赤铁矿和针铁矿是其中可以...     

电化学方法降解酸性红B研究

研究了成对电氧化技术降解酸性红B染料废水过程.通过高效液相色谱(HPLC)对阴阳极室降解过程中的产物进行了检测,结合UV-Vis变化曲线及TOC、COD_Cr变化过程,发现阳极室脱色比较快,生成多种中间物质;阴极室中间产物很少且降解更完全.电解140min时阴极室中TOC和COD_Cr去除率分别达到71.70%和56.40%,而阳极室中去除率分别为25.15%和27.57%.实验结果表明,阴阳极室中生成氧化物质的氧化能力不同而使酸性红B在阴阳极室按不同的机理降解.     

施用尿素和硫酸铵对红壤硝化和酸化作用的影响

通过室内恒温培养试验,研究施用CO(NH2)2和(NH4)2SO4对初始pH值分别为5.14、4.77和4.34的红壤酸化速率和硝化速率的影响。结果表明,施用CO(NH2)2显著增加了3种红壤的硝化速率,从而显著加速土壤酸化。培养结束时,3种红壤pH值较培养过程中最高值分别下降2.14、1.23和0.56。施用(NH4)2SO4抑制了初始pH<5.0的2种红壤的硝化作用,从而显著降低这2种红壤的硝化速率和酸化速率,但显著增加了初始pH>5.0红壤的硝化速率,对其酸化速率则未见显著影响。3种红壤的酸化速率与硝化速率间存在显著线性相关关系。硝化作用是导致农田红壤pH值下降的主要原因之一,但不同氮肥对红壤硝化速率和酸化速率的影响不同。     

赤泥建设材料衍生产品的安全性分析

赤泥是拜耳法炼铝工业中产生的残渣,因其具有碱性腐蚀、有毒有害金属元素、放射性元素,而成为一个棘手的环境问题。赤泥安全处置的有效方法是通过开发工业上可行的规模化应用方法,以提高利用率、减少处置量,赤泥在建设工程材料领域的开发就是其规模化应用的一种有效途径;同时,必须解决赤泥的建设材料衍生产品的安全性问题,才能从根本上实现赤泥废弃物的无害化处置。从放射性、腐蚀性及浸出毒性方面讨论赤泥建设工程材料衍生品的可行性、安全性与环境相容性。结果表明,赤泥的放射性水平超过了安全规定的限值,但没有表现出显著的浸出毒性,同时其碱性延缓了钢筋的去钝化进程。     

A Retrospective Evaluation of the Global Decline of Carnivores and Ungulates

Assessing temporal changes in species extinction risk is necessary for measuring conservation success or failure and for directing conservation resources toward species or regions that would benefit most. Yet, there is no long‐term picture of genuine change that allows one to associate species extinction risk trends with drivers of change or conservation actions. Through a review of 40 years of IUCN‐related literature sources on species conservation status (e.g., action plans, red‐data books), we assigned retrospective red‐list categories to the world's carnivores and ungulates (2 groups with relatively long generation times) to examine how their extinction risk has changed since the 1970s. We then aggregated species’ categories to calculate a global trend in their extinction risk over time. A decline in the conservation status of carnivores and ungulates was underway 40 years ago and has since accelerated. One quarter of all species (n = 498) moved one or more categories closer to extinction globally, while almost half of the species moved closer to extinction in Southeast Asia. The conservation status of some species improved (toward less threatened categories), but for each species that improved in status 8 deteriorated. The status of large‐bodied species, particularly those above 100 kg (including many iconic taxa), deteriorated significantly more than small‐bodied species (below 10 kg). The trends we found are likely related to geopolitical events (such as the collapse of Soviet Union), international regulations (such as CITES), shifting cultural values, and natural resource exploitation (e.g., in Southeast Asia). Retrospective assessments of global species extinction risk reduce the risk of a shifting baseline syndrome, which can affect decisions on the desirable conservation status of species. Such assessments can help conservationists identify which conservation policies and strategies are or are not helping safeguard biodiversity and thus can improve future strategies.

Oxidative stress in the blood of pregnant rats and reduction of organ weights caused by the polychlorinated biphenyl congener 77

3,3′,4,4′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 77), one of the environmentally persistent polychlorinated biphenyls that have been used for industrial purposes, was repeatedly administered to pregnant rats by gavage at a dose of minimal, non-lethal toxicity in order to study its effects on routine blood variables, parameters of oxidative stress and hematopoietic organs in pregnant female rats. Of the routine blood parameters, PCB 77 reduced the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and platelet counts; the levels of malondialdehyde and glutathione peroxidase in the blood were higher during the first days of gestation (1–7), as compared to the respective controls. In the subsequent period between days 8 and 18, these parameters did not show any significant change after PCB 77 treatment. Routine blood parameters and oxidative stress parameters indicated a moderate degree of oxidative stress which alone could not bring about the serious weight reduction of the thymus, pituitary, and kidneys. The extent of oxidative stress did not correlate with the weight reduction of some of the blood-forming organs.     

Spectrophotometry determination of Congo red in river water samples using nanosilver

A spectrophotometric procedure for the anionic diazo dye Congo red was proposed based on nanosilver catalyzed oxidation by potassium iodate in a hydrochloric acid medium. The calibration graph is linear for 0.8–240?mg?L^?1, and the detection limit is 0.6?mg?L^?1. Most foreign ions do not interfere with the determination, except for Cu(II), Fe(III), and Cr(VI). The interferences of Cu(II) and Fe(III) could be eliminated by masking with ethylene diamine tetraacetate, and that of Cr(VI) by reducing to Cr(III) with ascorbic acid. The typical features of this procedure are that it is sensitive for Congo red, and the determination could be carried out at room temperature. It had been used for the determination of Congo red in the Ganjnameh river water sample.     

Environmental fate of pesticides used in Australian viticulture V. Behaviour of atrazine in the soils of the south Australian Riverland

The transport of the s‐triazine herbicide, atrazine, through the red, calcareous earth soils of the South Australian Riverland was investigated. Small, undisturbed soil cores were extracted from the inter‐row topsoil of a vineyard adjacent to the River Murray, approximately 10 km south‐west of Overland Corner, South Australia. The vines were grown in a deep (1–4 m) reddish brown, strongly alkaline, sandy loam with a low organic carbon content (<2%). Atrazine concentrations in the leachate were dependent on application rate and soil type. High application rates on subsoil gave high rates of leaching for a longer time compared to the same application rate on topsoil and/or lower application rates on either topsoil or subsoil. Overall, 37–65% of the applied atrazine was detected in the leachate from subsoil cores, 14–25% in topsoil core leachates. Small amounts of atrazine (< 10% of applied dose) were found only in the top 2 cm of the core profiles. The results suggest that this herbicide is somewhat mobile in such strongly alkaline, sandy loam soils and that the irrigated soils of this region are likely to be prone to leaching of atrazine, and therefore that groundwater supplies in this area may be at risk of contamination through use of triazine herbicides.     

Evaluation of kinetics and energy consumption of the electrochemical oxidation of Acid Red 73 in aqueous media

A laboratory scale, undivided electrolysis cell with platinum anode and cathode was used for electrochemical oxidation of the azo dye Acid Red 73 in simulated wastewater. The influence of the supporting electrolyte, applied voltage, pH, initial dye concentration and temperature was studied, and decolorization was monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Energy consumption, current efficiency and the electric energy per order have been also determined. With NaCl (1.5 g L^?1) as supporting electrolyte, at a voltage of 6 V, at neutral pH (6.9) and at 25 °C, the solution of the dye (50 mg L^?1) was completely decolorized within 15 min. The apparent activation energy for electrochemical decolorization was determined as ?1.9 kJ mol^?1.
