OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF A REGIONAL AQUIFER IN EASTERN SAUDI ARABIA1

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the formulation and application of a ground-water hydraulic management model to determine the optimal development and operating policies of a regional aquifer in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The hydraulic response of the aquifer system is represented by a simulation model that is linked to an optimization management model using response functions. Yearly optimal ground-water extraction rates over a planning horizon of 15 years are determined for four scenarios, each reflecting alternative ground-water development policies. The results are presented in the form of tradeoff curves, relating drawdowns to optimal pumpage, which may enhance the decisionmaker's ability to select the best development policy from a set of alternatives. The results illustrate how various optimal management schemes can be devised to increase the total withdrawal from the aquifer while preventing excessive de-watering.     

城市路面径流重金属排放规律及初期效应研究

在西安市城市主干道南二环太白立交高架段设置路面径流采样点,采用降雨-产流-产污同步观测的试验方法,对2014年7月—2015年8月的6场降雨径流事件进行采样,监测径流过程中Cu、Pb、Zn、Cr、Ni、Cd的浓度变化,并研究其污染排放规律及初期冲刷效应。结果表明:路面径流污染排放规律与降雨特征及污染物赋存状态密切相关,溶解态重金属浓度均在径流初期达到峰值;颗粒态重金属浓度峰值出现时间略滞后于雨强峰值;重金属总量初期冲刷程度的强弱和溶解态重金属的差异较大,重金属总量初期冲刷程度越强,溶解态重金属反而越弱。

咪唑类离子液体系列对卤虫的急性毒性研究

选取卤虫作为实验生物,研究了1-丁基,1-辛基,1-十二烷基-3甲基咪唑盐酸盐( [Cnmim][Cl](n = 4,8,12) ) 3种离子液体的暴露对卤虫个体存活率的影响.同时,选取了实验室常用的有机试剂甲醇和乙腈,无机化学品重铬酸钾作为阳性对照.根据剂量效应曲线的拟合结果发现,受试离子液体系列随着咪唑环上烃基侧链碳原子数的增加,对卤虫的毒性效应也相应增强,3种离子液体对卤虫的LC50-24h依次为171.1,133.6,17.76μg/mL.离子液体对卤虫的LC50-24h比甲醇(LC50-24h=84.83mg/mL)和乙腈(LC50-24h=52.84mg/mL)低了2~3个数量级,重铬酸钾对卤虫的(LC50-24h=16.87μg/mL)与离子液体对卤虫的LC50-24h处于同一水平.     

Simultaneous removal of arsenic and antimony from mining wastewater using granular TiO2: Batch and field column studies

Coexisting arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) in mining wastewater is a common and great concern. On-site simultaneous removal of As and Sb from mining wastewater was achieved by using a reusable granular TiO₂ column in this study. To evaluate the accuracy of the scale-up procedure, As and Sb adsorption from wastewater was studied in both large (600 g TiO₂) and small columns (12 g TiO₂) based on the proportional diffusivity rapid small-scale column tests (PD-RSSCTs) design. The comparable As and Sb breakthrough curves obtained from small and large columns confirmed the accuracy of the PD-RSSCT theory in the design of large-scale columns. Meanwhile, the consistent As and Sb adsorption results from batch and column experiments suggested that TiO₂ adsorption for As and Sb can be predicted from bench-scale tests. Charge distribution multi-site complexation (CD-MUSIC) and one-dimensional transport modeling integrated in the PHREEQC program were performed to study the adsorption behaviors of As and Sb on the TiO₂ surface. Coexisting ions, such as Ca^2 +, Mg^2 +, and Si^4 +, play an important role in As and Sb adsorption, and the breakthrough curves were well simulated after considering the compound ion effects. The results from this study highlight the surface reactions of As and Sb on TiO₂ and provide a practical way for on-site remediation of industrial wastewater.     

测定化学物对乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制毒性的微板吸光法研究

随着化学污染物种类与数量的日益增多,高通量测试方法显得越来越重要。基于乙酰胆碱酯酶(ACh E)抑制法原理,以多功能酶标仪为测试设备,96孔微板为暴露反应载体,建立了测定化学物对ACh E抑制毒性的微板吸光法。系统研究了ACh E浓度、碘化硫代乙酰胆碱(ATCI)浓度、二硫代二硝基苯甲酸(DTNB)浓度对显色吸光度、吸光度变化速率、化学物测试毒性的影响。结果表明,随着ACh E、DTNB、ATCI的浓度增加,吸光度均增加;吸光度变化速率与ACh E浓度呈正相关,与DTNB浓度基本无关,与ATCI浓度呈现先增后减的双相关系;随着ATCI浓度增加,灭多威剂量-效应曲线(DRC)向右移动。最终建立的优化测试条件为DTNB 0.2 g·L~(-1)、ATCI 0.2 g·L~(-1)、ACh E 0.04 U·m L~(-1)、p H 6.8、反应温度29℃及暴露时间15 min;并与国标方法进行了对比与验证,发现试剂加样顺序对毒性测定结果有显著影响。基于ACh E的微板毒性测试结果表明,灭多威的DRC呈现良好的S型曲线,可用Weibull函数有效表征,拟合决定系数R2大于0.97,空白变异控制在了±10%以内。此方法可用于化学污染物的高通量毒性检测。
