Surface water treatment benefits from the presence of algae: Influence of algae on the coagulation behavior of polytitanium chloride

• Emerging titanium coagulation was high-efficient for algae-laden water treatment. • Polytitanium coagulation was capable for both algae and organic matter removal. • Surface water purification was improved by around 30% due to algae inclusion. • Algae functioned as flocculant aid to assist polytitanium coagulation. • Algae could enhance charge neutralization capability of polytitanium coagulant. Titanium-based coagulation has proved to be effective for algae-laden micro-polluted water purification processes. However, the influence of algae inclusion in surface water treatment by titanium coagulation is barely reported. This study reports the influence of both Microcystis aeruginosa and Microcystis wesenbergii in surface water during polytitanium coagulation. Jar tests were performed to evaluate coagulation performance using both algae-free (controlled) and algae-laden water samples, and floc properties were studied using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer for online monitoring. Results show that polytitanium coagulation can be highly effective in algae separation, removing up to 98% from surface water. Additionally, the presence of algae enhanced organic matter removal by up to 30% compared to controlled water containing only organic matter. Polytitanium coagulation achieved significant removal of fluorescent organic materials and organic matter with a wide range of molecular weight distribution (693–4945 Da) even in the presence of algae species in surface water. The presence of algae cells and/or algal organic matter is likely to function as an additional coagulant or flocculation aid, assisting polytitanium coagulation through adsorption and bridging effects. Although the dominant coagulation mechanisms with polytitanium coagulant were influenced by the coagulant dosage and initial solution pH, algae species in surface water could enhance the charge neutralization capability of the polytitanium coagulant. Algae-rich flocs were also more prone to breakage with strength factors approximately 10% lower than those of algae-free flocs. Loose structure of the flocs will require careful handling of the flocs during coagulation-sedimentation-filtration processes.     

消费价值差对绿色消费行为意向的影响

文章基于文献分析,提出了消费价值差模型,并以此结合量表和结构方程模型来检验消费价值差对消费者绿色商品的消费意向与市场需求的影响。研究结果说明,消费价值差越大,绿色消费行为意向和市场需求程度越低,其中效用价值差与环境价值差的反向影响最大。鉴于上述结论,政府及企业在制定相关政策及设计推广绿色商品时,应重视消费者的认知和情感需求,并针对不同群体开展具有差异性的环保宣教工作。     

钢筋混凝土异形柱框架结构抗震性能试验研究

钢筋混凝土异形柱框架的抗震性能，特别是它在高烈度地震下的抗震性能，一直是结构抗震研究的重点问题。为了配合正在编制的《钢筋混凝土异形柱技术规程》，进一步探讨这种结构体系的适用性，针对昆明市某实际工程，按8度区Ⅲ类场地的情形，进行了1榀3层2跨钢筋混凝土异形柱框架1／3比例模型的拟静力试验，研究这种结构在低周反复荷载作用下延性、变形特性和滞回特性。试验研究表明，这种钢筋混凝土异形柱框架抗震性能良好。     

南宁膨胀土加载-卸载试验及蠕变特性

利用固结仪对南宁膨胀土进行了一维加载-卸载实验,得到了加载-卸载条件下的应力应变关系。试验结果表明,土样加载或卸载时,以瞬时变形为主,其后随着时间的推移,迅速出现衰减蠕变或回弹变形,但最后仍然留下部分残余变形;含水率和应力水平越高,其塑性和流变特性越明显。根据压缩曲线和回弹曲线分析得到,膨胀土的变形由瞬时弹性变形、瞬时塑性变形,弹性滞后变形等组成。探索了膨胀土流变元件模型的组成形式,并通过拟合确定了相关的流变参数.所得结果可供膨胀土流变问题的进一步研究参考。
