monitoring bioaccumulation of contaminants in the belted kingfisher (ceryle alcyon)

The belted kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon), acommon piscivore in the eastern United States, hasbecome a common endpoint in ecological riskassessments (ERA) because of their high consumptionof potentially contaminated aquatic prey. Whilebioaccumulation data and biosurveys may be used tosupport conclusions of ERAs for kingfishers, thereare currently no published data on contaminantconcentrations in kingfishers. Additionally,methods available for collecting biological samples(e.g., feathers, eggs, food debris, etc.) fromkingfisher burrows can be detrimental to thereproductive success of the birds. We present amethod for obtaining samples from burrows during orfollowing the nesting season. The method wasapplied to kingfisher burrows on the Oak RidgeReservation (ORR) in eastern Tennessee. Feathers,eggshells, and nestlings were collected from burrows and analyzed. In addition, carcasses ofthree adult kingfishers found dead on the ORR wereanalyzed. Metals and radionuclides were accumulatedby both juvenile and adult birds. Body burdens ofcadmium, lead, and cesium-137 in adult birds were belowlevels associated with toxicity. Concentrations of selenium and mercury were observed at potentiallytoxic levels. Contaminants in eggshells andnestling feathers indicate exposure, however, thereis insufficient information to evaluate thetoxicological significance of this contamination.National Laboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managed for the U.S. Department of Energy by Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corp. under contract DE-AC05-96OR22464

西山白家庄矿8煤可排放硫含量的测定

针对西山白家庄矿8煤的实际情况，初步尝试了测定其硫的实际排放状况，探索了温度及添加剂对可排放 硫含量的影响。结果表明该煤的自身固硫率不高； 添加9％的CaO可排放硫含量可以达到城市窑（锅）炉对硫分的要求；同时试验表明MgO对可排放硫影响不大。     

湿式脱硫除尘技术在开发应用中的几点看法

当前,随着经济的快速发展,全国燃煤量不断增加,二氧化硫、烟尘超标排放已导致严重的环境污染问题.二氧化硫、烟尘排放量的控制,可采用选用清洁煤,改变燃烧技术及末尾脱硫除尘技术.比较而言,烟气除尘脱硫技术是一种技术成熟较为经济的应用技术.其中湿式脱硫除尘技术已得到广泛推广与应用,但该技术中仍存在不能消除黑烟、二氧化硫脱除不稳定因素多、设备腐蚀问题.本文通过对实际测试结果分析及脱硫效率影响因素的分析,提出了相应的看法与建议.     

Electrochemical study of sulfide solution in the presence of surfactants

Voltammetric curve studies on aqueous Na2S solution in the presence of three types of surfactants are presented. Presence of anodic surfactant (HTAB) in creases anode current density and makes the corresponding anode peak potential shift to more negative. Potentials of the reduction of elemental sulfur to intermediates Sx2-shift to more negative with the increasing of HTAB concentrations. In the presence of HTAB, the anode current density at 77oC increases more than at 34oC. The electrolysis indicates that anodic product sulfur loosely adhered to the graphite electrode surface when HTAB is added to the anolyte. The total efficiency of producing sulfur is high after several times of cycle electrolysis.The results show that anode passivation is minimized in the presence of HTAB. The depassivation effect of HTAB is discussed.

以温度、土壤含水率、胱氨酸添加量和土壤pH值作为土壤释放挥发性含硫化合物的主要影响因素,采用正交实验方法分析这些因素与土壤硫释速率的关系,利用BP神经网络算法对实验结果建模,并用模型对不同影响因素下的土壤硫释放情况进行预测。结果表明,网络模型对学习过的样本有较高预测精度,预测结果相对误差在2％以下,对未学生过的样本,误差为10％左右,表明人工神经网络方法建立的模型适用于土壤硫释放预测。     

对厌氧消化中硫化氢毒性控制的探讨

在厌氧消化处理高浓度硫酸盐废水时，不但存在硫酸盐还原菌与产甲烷菌之间发生基质竞争的问题，而且硫酸盐还原菌将硫酸盐还原产生的硫化氢对产甲烷菌产生毒性作用。本文介绍硫化氢对产甲烷菌产生毒性作用的动力学方程，详细分析在厌氧消化条件下硫化氢对产甲烷菌产生毒性作用的机理，重点阐述三种控制硫化氢毒性的方法：气体吹脱法、化学沉淀法和生物除硫法。
