浸泡时间对两种涂层电化学腐蚀行为的影响

目的研究浸泡时间对两种涂层电化学腐蚀行为的影响。方法在质量分数为3.5%的Na Cl溶液中通入饱和CO_2气体,采用电化学方法、SEM形貌检测方法测量两种涂层在该溶液中不同浸泡时间下的动电位扫描极化曲线和表面形貌,对比分析两种涂层的电化学特征和防蚀性能。结果随着涂层浸泡时间的延长,自腐蚀电位E_(corr)逐渐降低,而电流密度逐渐增大;在浸泡时间相同的情况下,涂层A的自腐蚀电位E_(corr)比涂层B高,而电流密度比涂层B低,说明涂层A的耐蚀性能明显优于涂层B。结论涂层短时间浸泡(≤72 h)时,电化学阻抗谱为吸氧过程的单容抗弧,长时间浸泡(≥120 h)时则为析氢过程的2个容抗弧,其耐蚀性下降。     

泰州市环境质量与经济的库茨涅兹曲线模拟研究

“环境库茨涅兹曲线”是指经济发展与环境质量之间的“倒U型”曲线关系,即随着经济发展和收入水平的提高,环境质量先恶化后好转。全文基于环境库茨涅兹曲线特征原理,根据泰州市2006年-2015年经济与环境变化的状况,重点分析了泰州市化学需氧量排放量、地表水中高锰酸盐指数、大气污染物二氧化硫排放量、二氧化硫浓度各指标与泰州市经济发展之间的拟合最佳模型。结果表明,前三者与人均GDP的变化规律符合环境库兹涅茨假设。空气中二氧化硫浓度对人均GDP之间的变化规律虽不符合环境库兹涅茨假设,但空气中二氧化硫浓度将呈下降趋势。     

反硝化聚磷菌的筛选及脱氮除磷特性

为进一步研究反硝化聚磷菌的机理和性能,对经过SBR反应器富集驯化后的污泥进行实验研究。采用吸磷实验、硝酸盐还原产气实验、革兰氏染色及异染颗粒染色等方法,筛选得到N10、N17和N20 3株菌株;经过16S r DNA的测序鉴定,建立系统发育树,确定3株菌株均为气单胞菌属。绘制3株菌株的生长曲线,并进行厌氧/缺氧和厌氧/好氧静态实验,发现N10和N17菌株在两组实验中均具有较好的脱氮除磷效果,O2和硝酸盐均可作为电子受体;N20菌株仅在厌氧/缺氧实验中表现出脱氮除磷效果,仅可利用硝酸盐作为电子受体。     

A Nationwide Analysis of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Reservoir Performance in Meeting Operational Targets

The United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers operates reservoirs across the U.S. with 89% of reservoirs constructed prior to 1980. Many reservoirs have experienced changes in environmental conditions (e.g., climate and sediment yield) and societal conditions (e.g., water/energy demand and ecological flows) since construction. These changes may challenge the potential for reservoirs to meet their operational targets (OTs) (management goals). Historic daily reservoir data and OTs were collected for 233 reservoirs. Analyses were developed to identify when and where reservoirs may be systematically departing from OTs in terms of the frequency and magnitude of departure. Fifty‐six percent of reservoirs consistently met operating targets, 30% were borderline, and 13% experienced frequent and large magnitude departures. Fifty‐two percent of reservoirs with large departures were due to shortages and were located in the South Pacific and Southwestern divisions. This work provides a framework to identify reservoir performance in relation to management goals, a necessary step for moving toward adaptive management under changing conditions. All individual reservoir analyses are provided via an interactive data visualization tool: https://nicholasinstitute.duke.edu/reservoir-data .     

Integrating Temporal Inequality into Conservation Planning to Improve Practice Design and Efficacy

In contrast to spatial inequality, there are currently no methods for leveraging information on temporal inequality to improve conservation efficacy. The objective of this study was to use Lorenz curves to quantify temporal inequality in surface runoff and tile drainage, identify controls on nutrient loading in these flowpaths, and develop design flows for structural conservation practices. Surface runoff (n = 94 site‐years) and tile drainage (n = 90 site‐years) were monitored on 40 fields in Ohio. Results showed, on average, 80% of nitrate‐nitrogen, soluble reactive phosphorus (P), and total P loads occurred between 7 and 12 days per year in surface runoff and between 32 and 58 days per year in tile drainage. Similar temporal inequality between discharge and load provided evidence that loading was transport‐limited and highlighted the critical role hydrologic connectivity plays in nutrient delivery from tile‐drained fields. Design flow criterion for sizing structural practices based on load reduction goals was developed by combining Lorenz curves and flow duration curves. Comparing temporal inequality between fields and the Maumee River, the largest tributary to the western Lake Erie Basin, revealed challenges associated with achieving watershed load reduction goals with field‐scale conservation. In‐field (i.e., improved nutrient and water management), edge‐of‐field (i.e., structural practices), and instream practices will all be required to meet nutrient reduction goals from tile‐drained watersheds.     

土壤物理质量指标研究进展及在矿区环境中的应用展望

对土壤物理质量指标在国内外的研究进展进行了系统总结,在矿区环境中的应用进行了展望,构建了矿区环境土壤物理质量指标体系。常规指标的研究集中于耕作或人为干扰对指标影响的定量研究及物理、化学和生物学指标的相互影响。国外提出并应用了许多非常规指标来对土壤物理质量进行评价,结合常规指标,可以对自然或人为扰动情况下,土壤损伤及退化问题进行深入研究。采煤沉陷对土壤物理质量的影响是一个系统和复杂的过程,我国矿区土壤环境的研究,应该基于不同的研究目的,选择正确的常规和非常规指标来对矿区土壤物理质量进行系统的评价、表征及定量化。构建的矿区环境土壤物理质量指标体系,具有一定的参考和应用价值。     

Using the cumulative availability curve to assess the threat of mineral depletion: The case of lithium

The cumulative availability curve shows the quantities of a mineral commodity that can be recovered under current conditions from existing resources at various prices. The future availability of a mineral commodity depends on the shape of its cumulative availability curve (determined by geologic considerations, such as the nature and incidence of the available mineral deposits), the speed at which society moves up the curve (determined by future demand and the extent to which this demand is satisfied by recycling), and shifts in the curve (determined by cost-reducing technological change and other factors). While the shape of the curve for any given mineral commodity may or may not be known, it is knowable since the geologic processes responsible for the curve's shape took place many years ago. In contrast, the factors governing how fast society moves up the curve and how the curve shifts over time are not only unknown but also unknowable.Using lithium as an example, this article shows that knowledge about the shape of the cumulative availability curve can by itself provide useful insights for some mineral commodities regarding the potential future threat of shortages due to depletion. Despite the inherent uncertainties surrounding the future growth in lithium demand as well as the uncertainties regarding the future cost-reducing effects of new production technologies, the shape of the lithium cumulative availability curve indicates that depletion is not likely to pose a serious problem over the rest of this century and well beyond.     

Economic Globalization and Industrial Pollution

In order to study the relationship between economic globalization and industrial pollution, this paper developed the theoretical framework and used simultaneous equations. The result shows that economic globalization has influences on the industrial pollution mainly by the direct effect of scale, structure and technology as well as the indirect effect of income and policy. Considering all the factors, economic globalization, especially foreign direct investment （FDI）, will reduce industrial pollution, in which technology spillover effect plays an important role.     

工业用水与经济发展的关系——用水库兹涅茨曲线

经验数据显示,发达国家工业用水随经济发展的变化存在着一个由上升转而下降的转折点。因此,工业用水随收入增长的演变模式可以用库兹涅茨曲线形式来表示。工业用水下降点对应的人均GDP的阈值是3700-17 000US$(PPP,以1985年为基数)。与之相应的第二产业在GDP总量中所占份额是30％～50％。工业用水下降的直接原因是用水效率的提高,其来源有两方面:部门用水效率的提高和经济结构调整。这提供了一个积极的信号,即发展中国家的工业用水将不会一直持续增长,从而为更好地预测发展中国家的工业用水量提供非常重要的思路,也为正确把握用水变化规律,制定符合规律的水资源对策提供科学基础。     

Morphology Characteristics of Southern Appalachian Wilderness Streams1

Zink, Jason M., Gregory D. Jennings, and G. Alexander Price, 2012. Morphology Characteristics of Southern Appalachian Wilderness Streams. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 48(4): 762‐773. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2012.00647.x Abstract: Watersheds without urbanization or impacts from logging are rare in the southern Appalachian Mountains. The Joyce Kilmer/Slickrock Wilderness of North Carolina and Tennessee contains 24 km² of old‐growth forest, with the balance of the wilderness in a mature second‐growth forest. The watersheds of Little Santeetlah and Slickrock Creek are located within the wilderness. Morphological information, including channel dimensions and longitudinal profiles, was gathered from 14 alluvial stream reaches in these watersheds. The study sites had drainage areas from 0.25 to 41.6 km² and stream slopes from 0.014 to 0.104 m/m. Bankfull cross‐section dimensions of the study stream reaches were strongly correlated to drainage area across the observed range of slopes and bed morphology. Cross‐section area and width relationships for the streams in this study did not differ significantly from regional curves for the mountain physiographic region of North Carolina. Observations of these reaches did not suggest a definitive rule regarding the proportion of steps and riffles in streams. Pools occupied greater than 50% of the length in all stream reaches with slopes less than 0.07 m/m. Significant correlation existed between step height ratio and slope, suggesting that step height can be approximated as the product of channel width and slope. Riffle length and riffle slope ratios were also significantly correlated with slope, though pool spacing was not.
