Evaluating Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration Options for Virginia

Changes in forest and agricultural land management practices have the potential to increase carbon (C) storage by terrestrial systems, thus offsetting C emissions to the atmosphere from energy production. This study assesses that potential for three terrestrial management practices within the state of Virginia, USA: afforestation of marginal agricultural lands; afforestation of riparian agricultural lands; and changing tillage practices for row crops; each was evaluated on a statewide basis and for seven regions within the state. Lands eligible for each practice were identified, and the C storage potential of each practice on those lands was estimated through a modeling procedure that utilized land-resource characteristics represented in Geographic Information System databases. Marginal agricultural lands’ afforestation was found to have the greatest potential (1.4 Tg C yr⁻¹, on average, over the first 20 years) if applied on all eligible lands, followed by riparian afforestation (0.2 Tg C yr⁻¹ over 20 years) and tillage conversion (0.1 Tg C yr⁻¹ over 14 years). The regions with the largest potentials are the Ridge and Valley of western Virginia (due to extensive areas of steep, shallow soils) and in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain in eastern Virginia (wet soils). Although widespread and rapid implementation of the three modeled practices could be expected to offset only about 3.4% of Virginia’s energy-related CO₂ emissions over the following 20 years (equivalent to about 8.5% of a Kyoto Treaty–based target), they could contribute to achievement of C-management goals if implemented along with other mitigation measures.

滑坡转化为泥石流机理研究综述

对国内外有关滑坡转化为泥石流的机理的研究做了全面的综述,重点介绍了国外最新的研究成果,阐明了今后研究的方向.滑坡转化为泥石流机理的研究,处于滑坡动力学与泥石流形成学的交叉点,既是学科的边缘问题,也是学科的前沿问题.滑坡转化为泥石流的过程是一个和土体液化密切相关的流态化过程,是土体和水体强烈相互作用的结果.滑坡直接转化为泥石流的机理的两个核心问题是超静孔压的产生和超静孔压的保持.Iverson对这一问题的研究直接促进了滑坡流态化理论的发展,并形成了最新的泥石流运动模型--库伦混合流理论,是对传统的基于流变关系的泥石流模型的重大突破.土体中粘性颗粒对滑坡直接转化为泥石流过程的影响,需要进一步进行研究.滑坡转化为沟谷泥石流是一个更为复杂的过程,是今后研究的重点.     

Conversion regular patterns of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid in UASB reactor

On the basis of continuous tests and batch tests, conversion regular patterns of acetate, propionate and butyrate in activated sludge at different heights of the UASB reactor were conducted. Results indicated that the conversion capacity of the microbe is decided by the substrate characteristic when sole VFA is used as the only substrate. But when mixed substrates are used, the conversion regulations would have changed accordingly.Relationships of different substrates vary according to their locations. In the whole reactor, propionate‘s conversion is restrained by acetate and butyrate of high concentration. On the top and at the bottom of the reactor, conversion of acetate, but butyrate, is restrained by propionate. And in the midst, acetate‘s conversion is accelerated by propionate while that of butyrate is restrained. It is proved, based on the analysis of specific conversion rate, that the space distribution of the microbe is the main factor that affects substrates‘ conversion. The ethanol-type fermentation of the acidogenicophase is the optimal acid-type fermentation for the two-phase anaerobic process.

不同原理分析仪观测大气中氮氧化物对比研究

氮氧化物(NOx)是大气二次光化学污染臭氧的重要前体物,但目前对其总量和分量的测量仍存在着一些难以解决的问题。选择3种不同原理的市售氮氧化物分析仪在广东和北京进行比对观测实验,从而比较其各自的优缺点及适用性。结果表明,钼转化法(MC)测得的NOx比光转化法(LC)及液相化学发光法(LPC)所测得的值都明显偏高,可近似认为是NOy。LPC检测NO2时受到PAN等含有—NO2生色基团的干扰,结果比LC略高。LC测得的NOx值与实际大气最为接近。MC测定的NOx比实际值高,但能满足空气质量指标监测的需求;LC能够准确测定大气中的NOx,但造价太高,仅适用于大气化学机理研究;而LPC原理的仪器适合于短时间的航测、高塔和系留艇进行垂直梯度观测。     

A GIS-based evaluation of the effect of decontamination on effective doses due to long-term external exposures in Fukushima

Despite the enormous cost of radiation decontamination, there has been almost no quantitative discussion on how much it would reduce the long-term external radiation exposure in the Evacuation Zone and Planned Evacuation Zone (restricted zone) in Fukushima. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of decontamination and return options and to identify important parameters for estimating the long-term cumulated effective dose (CED) during 15, 30 and 70 year period using data on land-use, population and decontamination in the restricted zone (about 1100 km²) in Fukushima.     

硫酸铅在柠檬酸钠-酸体系中的浸出转化

硫酸铅可以在柠檬酸钠-乙酸体系中脱硫转化生成柠檬酸铅。考察了柠檬酸钠投加量、反应时间、固液比以及反应温度对PbSO4浸出转化的影响。实验结果表明,PbSO4的转化率随着柠檬酸钠投加量和反应时间的增加而增大,固液比和反应温度对浸出过程影响不大。溶液中溶解的铅含量随着柠檬酸钠投加量的增大而增大,其他条件对其影响不明显。最佳浸出工艺条件是：柠檬酸钠与PbSO。的物质的量之比为2：1,固液比为1／5～1／3,反应温度为25℃,反应时间为2h,此时PbSO4的转化率可达到99％左右,溶液中的铅含量为总铅的3．8％左右。PbSO4浸出得到[Pb,（C。H,O,）,]·3H2O,它在350℃左右可完全分解,得到PbO／Pb粉末。
