缺氧活性污泥对17β-雌二醇的吸附与降解研究

试验用缺氧活性污泥降解17a-雌二醇,降解过程中,同时测定17a-雌二醇在水相与泥相上的浓度,考察厂缺氧活性污泥对17a-雌二醇的吸附等温线与降解动力学,并研究了温度和电子受体NO3--N浓度对吸附与降解的影响.结果表明,缺氧活性污泥对17a-雌二醇的降解是在泥中进行,水中不直接降解,泥中物质浓度降低后再吸附水中物质,反应是一个动态的吸附降解平衡过程.17a-雌二醇初始浓度为5～15 ìg/L时,2 h内能完全降解.缺氧降解符合一级反应动力学:降解过程中,17a-雌二醇在缺氧活性污泥上的吸附既符合Freundlich模型又符合线性吸附模型.温度对17a-雌二醇的吸附与降解有很大影响,温度升高反应速率常数增加,但分配系数降低.10、20、30℃条件下.其降解速率常数分别为2.411、3.045、3.527 h-1;分配系数kd分别为540.9、460.4、396.9 L/kg.NO3--N浓度(10～30 mg/L)的变化影响17a-雌二醇的缺氧降解,减少或增加NO3--N浓度.降解速率常数降低的最大变幅约20%.     

采矿业污染河流底泥及河漫滩沉积物的粒径组成与砷形态分布特征

采用连续提取法分析了刁江底泥和河漫滩沉积物中砷的形态变化规律及其与沉积物粒径组成的关系.结果表明,刁江流域底泥和河漫滩沉积物中As含量分布存在差异,底泥中As主要赋存在63～170μm粒级颗粒中,河漫滩沉积物中As主要赋存在63μm粒级颗粒中.底泥和河漫滩沉积物中砷主要以铁合态、钙合态和残渣态的形式存在,且残渣态比例相对较高,表现出典型的尾砂污染特征.底泥中残渣态砷(Res-As)组成比例总体较高,主要赋存在63～170μm粒级颗粒中,而洪水水位河漫滩沉积物中Res-As组成比例相对较低,这与不同沉积物中硫化态砷的氧化反应差异有关.对于中下游河段,底泥和中水水位河漫滩沉积物中Res-As总体上呈逐渐降低的趋势,铁合态砷(Fe-As)组成比例的分布与Res-As呈相反的趋势.     

高钙特征焚烧飞灰的加速碳酸化处理及对重金属浸出特性的影响

针对生活垃圾焚烧飞灰的高钙含量特征,在室温下采用CO2对焚烧飞灰在液固比(L∶S)为0.25∶1的条件下进行加速碳酸化处理,考察加速碳酸化处理对焚烧飞灰中重金属(As、Cd、Cu、Zn、Sb、Pb)浸出特性的影响.焚烧飞灰XRD分析表明,加速碳酸化处理后飞灰中的Ca(OH)2和CaClOH衍射峰消失,而CaCO3的衍射峰增多,且强度增加.加速碳酸化处理后飞灰中铅的形态发生了改变,并且能够检测到铜的化合物.TG/DTA分析表明,焚烧飞灰在440℃之前增重达到5.70%,SEM-EDS分析证实了Ca(OH)2(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s)反应的发生.焚烧飞灰加速碳酸化处理后的TCLP浸出实验表明,碳酸化时间在2 h内,重金属的浸出浓度除Cd保持不变外都显著下降;而当碳酸化时间超过50 h后,重金属的浸出浓度除Pb外普遍高于飞灰未经碳酸化处理时的浸出浓度.     

Increased egg estradiol concentration feminizes digit ratios of male pheasants (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Phasianus colchicus</Emphasis>)

The length ratio between individual digits differs between males and females in humans, other mammals, lizards, and one bird species. Sexual dimorphism in digit ratios and variation among individuals of the same sex may depend on differential exposure to androgens and estrogens during embryonic life. Organizational effects of sex hormones could cause the observed correlations between digit ratios and diverse phenotypic traits in humans. However, no study has investigated experimentally the effect of prenatal estrogens on digit ratios. We analyzed the effect of estradiol injection in ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) eggs on digit ratios. Males from control eggs had higher ratios between the second or third and the fourth digit of the right foot compared to females. Estradiol-treated eggs produced males with lower (feminized) right foot second to fourth digit ratio. Thus, we provided the first experimental evidence that prenatal exposure to physiologically high estrogen levels affects bird digit ratios.     

Wolfgang Priester: from the big bounce to the $\Lambda$-dominated universe

Wolfgang Priester (1924–2005) was one of Germany’s most versatile and quixotic astrophysicists, reinventing himself successively as a radio astronomer, space physicist and cosmologist, and making a lasting impact on each field. We focus in this personal account on his contributions to cosmology, where he will be most remembered for his association with quasars, his promotion of the idea of a nonsingular “big bounce” at the beginning of the current expansionary phase, and his recognition of the importance of dark energy (Einstein’s cosmological constant Λ) well before this became the standard paradigm in cosmology.

Inherently safer sustained casing pressure testing for well integrity evaluation

This paper presents the use of a model to predict sustained casing pressure (SCP), from early pressure buildup data, as a basis for inherently safer well integrity testing. Inherently safer principles aim to eliminate or reduce the hazards by design rather than by using protective features. SCP, a well integrity issue exhibited in many wells, is any measurable pressure that rebuilds after being bled down and attributable to causes other than artificially applied pressure or temperature fluctuations in the well. Intrusion of gas, resulting in SCP, can occur because of poor cement bond in the casing or cement deterioration. Gas entering the annulus migrates to the wellhead and represents a hazard due to increased wellhead pressure and the gas inventory. Compromised well integrity can have catastrophic consequences on both environmental and safety aspects.Most regulations require the monitoring, testing and, eventually, the elimination of SCP. However, test data analysis is predominantly qualitative and limited to arbitrary criteria. Due to the high percentage of wells that present SCP, accurate, safe and preferably fast testing methods are needed. This paper implements an analytical model, rooted in the transport processes and thermodynamics of the system, to predict pressure profiles and gas accumulation during SCP testing from early-time pressure buildup data. The amount of gas accumulated during different testing criteria, being 1) current practices and 2) early diagnostic by the analytical model, is calculated and compared. Results show that using the analytical model as a predictive tool, testing time is reduced significantly, thereby limiting the amount of gas accumulated and reducing the risk. This makes the testing procedure inherently safer as well as less time consuming.
