A COLORIMETRIC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF TRACE COPPER CONCENTRATIONS IN WATER1

Trace quantities of copper (II) ion can be found in natural water as waste products from industrial, mining, and agricultural operations. Because low concentrations of copper can be toxic to plant life, many workers have devised methods of analysis for this metal in water. These methods require expensive equipment and skilled technicians. The described study illustrates a simple method in which copper (II) ion is concentrated by a batch ion exchange technique and estimated colorimetrically after formation of the blue triethylenetetramine complex. Using the visible absorption peak of the complex at 600 nm it was possible to obtain accurate estimations of original copper concentrations in the range 0.5-3 ppm. Using the complex absorption peak at 260 nm in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum increased the sensitivity by a factor of twenty. Because of the dependence of the complex formation reaction on solution acidity it is possible to optimize conditions for the detection of copper (II) in the presence of other metal ions. This type of method, which could be extended to the analysis of other metal ions, could be performed by a relatively unskilled technician under field conditions.

Land use change and carbon exchange in the tropics: III. Structure,basic equations,and sensitivity analysis of the model

The rationale, assumptions, structure and basic mathematical functions of the model used to produce the simulation results reported in the first two articles of this series are described in detail. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the most important parameters in the model, and, presumably, in the carbon exchange between tropical forests and the atmosphere, are: (a) the conversion rate of forests to permanent pasture and agriculture, (b) the changes that are occurring and have occurred in the shifting cultivation system, and (c) the fate of cleared vegetation. Although it is not possible to validate the model against direct measurements of carbon exchange, the model has been proven robust when subject to a series of explicit analyses and comparisons with other assessments.     

Land use change and carbon exchange in the tropics: II. Estimates for the entire region

Determining the effect of tropical land use on the carbon dioxide (CO₂) content of the atmosphere requires: (a) estimates of the rates of land use change, (b) estimates of the difference between the carbon stored in forests and that stored in pastures and cultivated fields, and (c) a consideration of the fate of carbon stored in the cleared vegetation. The first article of this series analyzed land use in four tropical countries and estimated the carbon released to the atmosphere as a consequence of changes in land use. This article estimates the carbon released from the entire tropical region based on the two published studies of land use change for the tropics as a whole that distinguish between temporary and permanent land use: Seiler and Crutzen (1980) and Lanly (1982). We combine these estimates with two estimates of the difference in carbon storage between forests and fields derived from Whittaker and Likens (1975) and Brown and Lugo (1982), and the two scenarios of the fate of cleared vegetation, developed in the previous article, to produce several complete sets of data describing the necessary parameters to calculate carbon exchange. These data sets, entered into our model, produce a range of estimates of the annual release of carbon from tropical vegetation in 1980 of from 0.6 to 1.8 BMT/year, with the more likely range being 0.9–1.2 BMT/year. Our preliminary analysis suggests that the release from tropical soils due to land use change adds about an additional 0.3 BMT C/year, so that the total release is probably between 1.2 and 1.5 BMT C/year. Peng and others (1983) reported that new models of the oceanic carbon cycle can accommodate at least 1.2 BMT C/year in 1980 from forests and soils. Our results indicate that, given the uncertainties in the size of both the biotic release and oceanic uptake, the global carbon budget may be balanced if there is no significant release from nontropical ecosystems due to land use change and all mature ecosystems are in collective equilibrium with the atmosphere.

硝酸及氯离子对高温硝酸铵水溶液热危险性的影响研究

国内外学者对硝酸铵的危险性进行了大量的研究,而对其水溶液的危险性至今开展不多。笔者采用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)及全自动反应量热仪(RC1e)对高温状态下的硝酸铵水溶液的热分解危险性、杂质离子对其稳定性的影响进行了研究。纯硝酸铵和90%硝酸铵水溶液的DSC实验表明,90%硝酸铵溶液和分析纯硝酸铵具有相似的热爆炸危险;90%硝酸铵水溶液在140~180℃之间的RC1e试验表明:硝酸或氯离子单独存在时,对硝酸铵分解都有不同程度的抑制作用,而同时存在时则大大降低体系的热稳定性。该结果对保障硝酸铵在生产、使用过程中的安全具有重要的参考价值。

硫酸根对颗粒铁去除铬动力学影响研究

铁渗透反应格栅是铬污染地下水的有效去除技术,但地下水中SO42-对铁格栅长期运行性能影响还不清楚。文章采用批实验和柱实验的方法,分别研究了硫酸根离子浓度对颗粒铁从液相去除常量C(rVI)(20mg/L)的动力学影响及这种影响随时间的变化。批试验表明,随SO42-浓度的增加,C(rVI)的面积标准化速率系数kSA增加。柱试验采用三个平行柱实验系统连续输入含20mg/LC(rVI)的模拟地下水(含或不含SO42(-1000mg/L))。柱实验表明,运行100PV以前,SO42-显著增大颗粒铁对C(rVI)的面积标准化速率常数kSA,随后SO42-增强作用逐渐减弱,运行337PV时,SO42-没有明显的影响。硫酸根离子通过在铁表面形成配合物而加速铁的溶解,增加颗粒铁的表面活性,从而增强颗粒铁对C(rVI)的去除,生物作用不强时可以不考虑硫酸根对铁格栅长期运行性能的影响。     

高氯离子低COD矿井水中COD的测定方法探讨

由于煤矿地理分布和地质构造原因,我国部分煤矿矿井水中氯离子含量较高。矿井水经混凝、沉淀、过滤处理后,其中的COD含量通常较低,采用重铬酸钾国家标准方法测定处理后的高氯离子矿井水中的COD过程中,水样中存在的氯离子极易干扰测定结果。当水样中氯离子含量超过2 000 mg/L时,采用国标方法所测数据几乎不具参考价值。针对高氯离子矿井水水质特征,通过对比试验方法研究了低浓度重铬酸钾氧化法在高氯离子低COD矿井水中COD测定的应用,其结果有效扩展了国家标准方法的测定范围,为煤炭行业矿井水COD检测分析提供了科学依据。
