An analysis on spatial variation of urban human thermal comfort in Hangzhou, China

Urban human thermal comfort (UHTC) is affected for interacting of weather condition and underlying surface framework of urban area. Urban underlying surface temperature value and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) were calculated using image interpreting and supervised classification technique by ERDAS IMAGE software using 1991 and 1999 Landsat TM images data. Reference to the relational standard of assessing human thermal comfort and other meteorology data of Hangzhou City in summer, air temperature and relative humidity variation of different land types of underlying surface were inversed. By choosing discomfort index as an indictor, the spatial distribution characteristic and the spatial variation degree of UHTC were estimated and mapped on a middle scale, that is, in six districts of Hangzhou. The main characteristics of UHTC spatial variation from 1991 to 1999 were revealed using a GIS-based calculation model. The variation mechanism were analyzed and discussed from the viewooint of citv olannino, construction and environmental orotection.     

Statistical regression modeling for energy consumption in wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment is one of critical issues faced by water utilities, and receives more and more attentions recently. The energy consumption modeling in biochemical wastewater treatment was investigated in the study via a general and robust approach based on Bayesian semi-parametric quantile regression. The dataset was derived from a municipal wastewater treatment plant, where the energy consumption of unit chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction was the response variable of interest. Via the proposed approach, the comprehensive regression pictures of the energy consumption and truly influencing factors, i.e., the regression relationships at lower, median and higher energy consumption levels were characterized respectively. Meanwhile, the proposals for energy saving in different cases were also facilitated specifically. First, the lower level of energy consumption was closely associated with the temperature of influent wastewater, and the chroma-rich wastewater also showed helpful in the execution of energy saving. Second, at median energy consumption level, the COD-rich wastewater played a determinative role in the reduction of energy consumption, while the higher quality of treated water led to slightly energy intensive. Third, the higher level of energy consumption was most likely to be attributed to the relatively high temperature of wastewater and total nitrogen (TN)-rich wastewater, and both of the factors were preferably to be avoided to alleviate the burden of energy consumption. The study provided an efficient approach to controlling the energy consumption of wastewater treatment in the perspective of statistical regression modeling, and offered valuable suggestions for the future energy saving.     

黄河口新生湿地土壤Fe和Mn元素的空间分布特征

2009年5月,在今黄河入海口北部的新生湿地区域,依据植被类型设置9个采样区,研究了不同植物群落下湿地土壤Fe和Mn含量的空间分布特征.结果表明,不同类型湿地土壤的Fe、Mn含量在水平分布上由三棱蔗草-朝天委陵菜湿地到光滩呈波动上升趋势,在垂直分布上则表现为不同的波动变化特征.成土母质决定湿地土壤Fe、Mn含量的空间分布,而海水、植被和土壤细颗粒对其也有重要影响.相关分析表明,Fe、Mn之间以及二者与粉粒、TN、NO-3-N和有机质呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与黏粒呈显著正相关(P<0.05),说明Fe、Mn与N具有较好的共存性,土壤细颗粒和有机质是影响土壤Fe、Mn分布的主导因素.黄河口新生湿地的Fe含量范围为16.49~33.11 g·kg-1,均值为22.54 g·kg-1,与苏北潮滩湿地,中国黄土高原黄土和中国土壤的背景值相近,但略低于长江口湿地,红树林湿地和内陆湖泊湿地.Mn含量范围为305.87~711.39mg·kg-1,均值为451.09 mg·kg-1,低于中国黄土高原黄土和中国土壤的Mn含量背景值.     

澜沧江梯级水库对汞输运的影响

拦河筑坝对河流中汞的输运产生重要影响,但有关高海拔落差河流中汞的来源及输运特征的认识较为匮乏.以澜沧江为研究对象,监测了筑坝河段水体中汞浓度的年时空变化过程（2017—2018）,量化了梯级水库对汞沿程输运的影响.结果表明,澜沧江水体中汞浓度总体与径流的季节分配呈同步变化趋势,但在上下游因土地利用类型的差异而呈现相反的季节性变化特征.因水库的拦截,溶解态汞与总汞的比值沿程呈上升趋势,加之水库泄水量的沿程增加,共同导致了河流汞通量自上游至下游呈非连续累积的趋势,从144 kg·a^-1增加至788 kg·a^-1.相应地,梯级水库对汞的拦截率自上游至下游由88%逐渐降低至65%.该项研究丰富了对梯级水库中汞的补给和输运的认识.     

Preparation of solar-enhanced AlZnO@carbon nano-substrates for remediation of textile wastewaters

Photoactive aluminum doped ZnO(AlZnO) was synthesized by sol-gel method.After that,AlZnO photocatalyst was deposited on five carbon-based materials(CBMs) using ultrasonic route followed by solid-state mixing using ball mill.The CBMs used were poly aniline(PANI),carbon nitride(CN),carbon nanotubes(CNT),graphene(G),and carbon nanofibers(CNF).The crystal phases,elemental compositions,morphological,and optical properties of the AlZnO@CBMs composites were investigated.Experimental results revealed that two of AlZnO@CBMs composites exhibited superior bleaching efficiency(100% removal) and photocatalytic stability(three cycles) for 50 μmol/L Methylene Blue(MB) contaminated water after 60 min irradiation in visible light at pH 6.5,0.7% H_2O_2,and 5 g/L inorganic salts.Under optimum conditions,AlZnO@CBMs nanocomposites were employed for the treatment of mixed dyestuffs composed of MB,Methyl Orange(MO),Astrazone Blue FRR(BB 69),and Rhodamine B(RhB) dyes under dark,ultraviolet,visible,and direct sunlight.For mixed dyestuffs,the AlZnO@G achieved the highest dye sorption capacity(60.91 μmol dye stuffs/g) with kinetic rate 8.22 × 10~(-3) min~(-1) in 90 min via multi-layer physisorption(Freundlich isotherm) on graphene sheet.In additions,AlZnO@CN offered the highest photo-kinetic rate(K_(photo)) of～54.1 × 10~(-3) min~(-1)(93.8% after 60 min) under direct sunlight.Furthermore,the selective radical trapping experiment confirmed that the holes and oxidative superoxide radicals are crucial on dyes photodegradation pathway.Owing to their superior performance,AlZnO@G and AlZnO@CN nanocomposites can offer an effective in-situ solar-assisted adsorption/photocatalytic remediation of textile wastewater effluents.

Distribution of heavy metals in sediments of the Pearl River Estuary, Southern China: Implications for sources and historical changes

The distribution of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cd and As) in sediments of the Pearl River Estuary was investigated. The spatial distribution of heavy metals displayed a decreasing pattern from the turbidity maxima to both upstream and downstream of the estuary, which suggested that suspended sediments played an important role in the trace metal distribution in the Pearl River Estuary. In addition, metal concentrations were higher in the west part of the estuary which received most of the pollutants from the Pearl River. In the sediment cores, fluxes of heavy metals were consistent with a predominant anthropogenic input in the period 1970-1990. From the mid-1990s to the 2000s, there was a significant decline in heavy metal pollution. The observed decline has shown the result of pollution control in the Pearl River Delta. However, it is noteworthy that the metal concentrations in the most recent sediment still remained considerably high. Taken together, the enrichment of heavy metals in sediments was largely controlled by anthropogenic pollution.     

基于遥感影像的江西省水体资源和水产养殖结构空间异质性分析

为系统掌握江西省水体资源结构和水产养殖基本特征,论文通过遥感技术获取了2012年各县域的水体面积,并划分为不同的水体类型。通过全局和局域空间自相关,分析了89个县（市）水产养殖典型要素的空间异质性以及空间差异程度。针对空间关联及非均质性的现象,运用地理加权回归揭示了水体资源大小、养殖方式、平均单产水平和渔业专业养殖人员数量对养殖产量的影响程度。结果表明：江西省水体资源类型以大水面为主,占总面积的70%,其次为水库山塘,占21.26%,小型池塘面积占9%。水资源结构地区差异明显,北部区域以大水面为主,南部以山塘水库为主。养殖产量和面积表现出空间集聚分布特征（P<0.01）,但各县域的聚集性分布也表现出不同的模式,彭泽县、都昌县、鄱阳县、南昌市辖区、南昌县、丰城市、进贤县和余干县8个县域,均为高-高分布类型,养殖面积和产量分别占到总量的34.55%、35.42%。从养殖品种结构上,特种养殖产量主要集中在上饶市、九江市、南昌市和宜春市,占69.84%,但特种养殖产量所占比例与水体资源大小的相关性下降,水资源较少的东部山区丘陵地带依据区位特征发展鳖、蛙产业,特种养殖比例较高。从水产养殖驱动力分析,水体面积对养殖产量的影响程度最大（中位值为0.46）,其次是小型池塘面积（中位值为0.36）、专业养殖人口数量（中位值为0.26）,3个因素与养殖产量均为正相关,其中水体面积和小型池塘面积对养殖产量的影响程度从南向北递减,专业养殖人口对养殖产量的影响程度从南向北递增。影响程度的空间异质性变化可能与养殖方式和品种结构有关。平均单产水平对养殖产量的贡献较弱（中位值为 -0.003）,各地区影响强度差别不明显。分析结果有助于系统了解江西省水体资源分布和养殖结构,对优化产业规划布局有重要的指导意义。
