含瓦斯构造煤卸围压作用渗透性变化特征试验研究

针对含瓦斯煤轴压恒定卸围压渗透性演化规律,以新登煤业二1煤原煤样为研究 对象,利用自主研发的含瓦斯煤岩三轴应力蠕变渗流试验装置,开展不同围压下轴向应 力恒定卸围压渗流测试试验。基于实验结果表明:构造煤在应力加载阶段渗透率降低, 且轴压围压同时加载,渗透率变化与轴向应变符合线性变化,轴压加载阶段,渗透率与 轴向应变符合负指数函数变化规律;围压卸载阶段,渗透率在卸围压过程中一直减小, 随着轴向应变的增加,渗透率出现反弹,但未出现突变现象,渗透率增加阶段与时间变 化符合退化的负指数函数关系;构造煤渗透率卸围压失稳后,渗透率没有出现突变原因 认为煤样中没有形成较大的有效渗流通道,且在一定的有效应力作用下瓦斯渗流的有效 通道出现自愈合现象。     

Adsorptive removal of direct dyes by PEI-treated peanut husk biomass: Box–Behnken experimental design

This paper reports the application of Box-Behnken experimental design to illustrate the adsorption of direct dyes (Indosol Black NF and Indosol Orange RSN) using polyethyleneimine (PEI)-treated peanut husk biomass. The effect of three independent variables (initial dyes concentration, biosorbent dose and pH) was investigated during the study. Maximum biosorption capacity (141 and 98.2 mg/g) of PEI-pretreated biomass was achieved with 200 mg/L initial dye concentration and 0.05 g/50 mL biomass dose for Indosol Black NF and Indosol Orange RSN, respectively. Acidic pH was found to be favourable for maximum dyes removal. Characterisation of biosorbent was carried out through Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and point of zero charge determination. FT-IR analyses confirmed the involvement of carboxylic and carbonyl groups. The desorption study was also conducted to check out the possibility of regeneration of dyes and adsorbent and it was found that 51.58 and 76.6% of Indosol Black NF and Indosol Orange RSN, respectively, can be desorbed from the loaded biosorbent by using 1 M NaOH solution. The results indicated that PEI-treated peanut husk biomass can be used as an efficient biosorbent for the removal of Indosol Black NF and Indosol Orange RSN dyes from aqueous solutions.     

A study on the effects of four heavy metals on five species of chironomous larvae present on Mahé Island of Seychelles

A study was conducted on the island of Mahé, Seychelles, on five species of chironomous larvae endemic to the island. The chironomous larvae were exposed to four heavy metals – copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and zinc (Zn), for a 96-hr period, and the LC₅₀ values were calculated. It was observed that the most sensitive species of chironomous larvae was Gymnometriocnemus mahensis. The least sensitive form of chironomous larvae examined was Paramerina minima. The 96-hr LC₅₀ values obtained for Tanypus complanatus for Cu, Cd, Hg, and Zn were 1.9 (1.73–2.09), 1.35 (1.17–1.57), 0.33 (0.26–0.43), and 28.96 (27.03–31.03) ppm, respectively. Similar results were obtained for other species studied.     

Preconcentration of samarium with modified yeast cells for its determination by atomic emission spectroscopy

A chelating-modified biosorbent is produced by coupling of a dye, procion red, to yeast cells. The resulting modified cells have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis and studied for preconcentration and determination of trace Sm(III). The optimum pH value for sorption of the samarium ions is 6.2. The sorption capacity of functionalized modified yeast cells is 7.2 mg g^?1. Recovery was 99% when Sm(III) was eluted with an aqueous solution of 0.1 mol L^?1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Scatchard analysis suggested that binding sites were homogeneous. The equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Redlich–Peterson isotherm models, and the respective constants were determined as 1.0 (L mg^?1), 2.9 [(mg g^?1) (L mg^?1)^1/n], 2.4 × 10⁸ (L g^?1), and 30 (dm³ g^?1) at 20 °C. The method was applied for an Sm(III)-containing sample of ceramic industry effluent.     

珠江三角洲地区气溶胶分档活化特性与闭合实验

使用SMPS与CCNC系统相结合,于2011年12月在广州番禺大气成分站开展了40~200nm气溶胶粒子的分档活化观测.活化率曲线和统计结果显示0.109%、0.20%、0.39%、0.67%四个过饱和比下临界干粒径Dmid依次为143.7,99.5,74.7,62.6nm;对应的截断粒径Dcut为171.9, 119.1, 90.2, 72.5nm.进一步分析表明,气溶胶粒子的活化能力主要受粒径控制,成分与混合状态的影响在活化临界位置附近最为显著.本次观测结果与华北地区和周边城郊地区相比,气溶胶活化能力较弱.闭合实验计算得到的CCN数浓度与观测值存在很好的相关性(R2=0.9477),计算值较观测值高约16%.考虑到仪器系统误差等因素,认为两者闭合良好.对CCN数浓度计算中使用的3个因子,即气溶胶数浓度NCN、气溶胶谱型NSD、活化率曲线ARSR进行了敏感性实验,结果显示各因子对CCN数浓度的影响程度存在如下关系:NCN> NSD> ARSR.     

Bactericidal effects of adsorbent on Escherichia coli for use in disinfection of drinking water

A synergistic action of silver (Ag) and groundnut husk carbon was shown, which markedly enhanced inactivation of Escherichia coli. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using a silver-impregnated groundnut husk carbon adsorbent (AdSG) for drinking water disinfection and evaluate % disinfection of E. coli. The results showed that contact of bacterial cells with AdSG resulted in a transfer of Ag ion to the cell, as evidenced by bactericidal activity. It is also possible that Ag produced generation of reactive oxygen species in the cell that led to bactericidal activity of the adsorbent. Data indicated that AdSG was effective as a bactericidal agent and may prove to be economically beneficial in drinking water disinfection.     

Measuring the effectiveness of San Francisco’s planning standard for pedestrian wind comfort

ABSTRACT

In 1985, San Francisco adopted a wind comfort standard in its Downtown Area Plan in response to increasing concerns about the city’s downtown public open spaces becoming excessively windy. After 30 years of implementation, this study revisits the standard and examines its effectiveness in promoting pedestrian comfort. Seven hundred one valid samples were collected from 6 months of field study, which combined surveying pedestrians and on-site collection of microclimate data. Statistical analysis and an assessment using the physiological equivalent temperature show that 11 mph (4.92 m/s), the comfort criterion in places for walking, performs as an effective determinant of outdoor comfort in San Francisco. This study sheds light on climate-resilience of cities, as they have become key urban challenges today.
