为研究乘客在大客车正面碰撞事故中的损伤机理,建立某全承载大客车有限元模型,并通过试验验证有限元模型的仿真精度。基于验证模型对不同碰撞速度条件下大客车车身结构力学响应、生存空间、座椅固定件强度、乘员运动响应和损伤等进行综合分析及评价。结果表明:高速碰撞条件下,驾驶员生存空间容易被侵入,座椅固定件强度存在失效的风险;乘员头部、颈部和胸部的损伤值受碰撞速度、安全带类型和乘员位置影响较大;三点式安全带保护效果明显优于两点式安全带。     

电镀Cd层在海洋大气环境中的腐蚀行为研究

通过自然暴露试验,研究了航空钢结构常用的电镀Cd层在我国南部热带海洋大气环境中的腐蚀行为。采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察了电镀Cd层的表面微观结构和腐蚀形貌;采用电化学交流阻抗谱(EIS)表征了电镀Cd层在腐蚀介质中的表面细微结构及其在自然暴露过程中的变化规律,分析了镀Cd层在海洋大气环境中的腐蚀过程和腐蚀机理。研究发现,电镀Cd层在海洋大气环境中的腐蚀主要包括含Cr钝化膜的局部破损和镀层本身的腐蚀两个方面,电镀Cd层的腐蚀产物膜能够有效抑制腐蚀扩展。相对于近海户外大气环境,海洋平台户外的高湿度和高盐分大气环境对含Cr钝化膜的穿透性更强,对镀Cd层的腐蚀更加严重。     

Determination of VOCs in groundwater at an industrial contamination site using a homemade low-density polyethylene passive diffusion sampler

A home-made inexpensive passive diffusion bag （PDB） sampler, prepared by filling deionized water in low-density polyethylene （LDPE） tubes, was evaluated for volatile organic compounds （VOC） sampling in groundwater at industrial contamination sites. Impacts of environmentally relevant conditions on the sampling equilibration time and partitioning of VOCs between the sampler and the water sample were investigated. Sample salinity, agitation and temperature can influence the equilibration time, but generally sampling equilibration was obtained in 14 days under real field sampling of VOCs in groundwater. Both laboratory study and field testing in a contaminated site showed that the VOC concentrations in the developed sampler were equal to those in the water samples at equitibrium. Coupled with a purge and trap concentrator-gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer （P＆T-GC-MS）, the developed PDB sampler provided a low-cost sampling device for routine monitoring of VOCs in groundwater in wells, with LODs in the range of 2.9-10 μg/L. The proposed PDB was applied to determine VOCs in groundwater at an industrial contamination site, and the present results agreed well with those determined using conventional pump-and-sample monitoring. All the studied 13 VOCs were tested in the four wells in the industrial contamination sites, with their concentrations in the range of 12-73660 μg/L. In addition, while benzene and toluene were heavily contaminated up to a maximum concentration of 74000 μg/L and 6000 μg/L, respectively, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene and bromobenzene had relatively low contamination levels （below 25 μg/L）.     

被动采样法表征降水离子浓度和通量的局限性

降水(湿沉降)是大气污染物进入地表环境的主要途径,由于传统的被动采样法易受到颗粒物和气体干沉降的干扰,而采集到的混合沉降样品不能科学表征降水化学组成,也不能准确量化湿沉降通量,因此目前正逐步被主动采样法所取代. 采用主动和被动2种采样法同步采集了降水样品,以考察被动采样法表征降水离子浓度和通量的适用性. 结果表明:被动采样法采集的降水样品中离子浓度明显偏高,其中ρ(NO₃-)、ρ(Mg2+)、ρ(Ca2+)、ρ(K+)、ρ(Cl-)、ρ(SO₄2-)、ρ(Na+)和ρ(NH₄+)分别比主动采样法高65%、58%、43%、41%、35%、26%、10%和9%. 受大气污染物干沉降影响,被动采样法获得的NO₃-、NH₄+和SO₄2-混合沉降通量分别比主动采样法获得的湿沉降通量高79%、18%和35%,差异最显著的是NO₃-. 被动采样法可以收集氮和硫的湿沉降,但不能有效捕获二者以颗粒物和气体形式发生的干沉降,对二者沉降总通量(干沉降通量+湿沉降通量)低估达39%〔23 kg/(hm2·a)〕和40%〔20 kg/(hm2·a)〕. 因此,鉴于大气污染形势日趋严重,污染物的干沉降作用凸显,被动采样法已难以准确测算污染物从大气向地表的沉降总通量,需要全面考虑细颗粒物(粒径≤2.5 μm)和气态物种(如HNO₃)的贡献.

Fe^0钝化膜的生物还原及其脱氮除磷

微生物的异化Fe（Ⅲ）还原是一种能够利用Fe（III）作为末端电子受体在无氧条件下氧化有机物的产能过程。结合这一特性,考察了在兼性厌氧／严格厌氧条件下Fe^0钝化膜作为Fe（111）源时的生物还原能力以及对N、P等营养元素的去除效果。结果表明,严格厌氧条件下微生物异化Fe（Ⅲ）还原能力较好,富集培养至7d,累计Fe（II）浓度达到最大,最大产生速率为98．69mg／（L·d）,同时TP去除率高达97．1％以上。而体系对NH4-N、TN的去除相对滞后,培养至13d,去除率开始增大,最终分别达到86．6％和76．1％。这为装填有海绵铁＋聚氨酯泡沫载体的SBBR中填料的原位再生问题提供了解决思路。     

Developing a passive air-breathing tubular direct methanol fuel cell fed with concentrated methanol

This study develops and investigates a fully passive air-breathing tubular direct methanol fuel cell (t-DMFC) with a steel-tube anode and a steel-mesh cathode. The effects of methanol concentration, cathode catalyst loading, mesh structure, and forced air convection are experimentally explored. Results indicate that the t-DMFC performs better at a relatively higher methanol concentration of 8 M. It is recommended to use a catalyst loading of 4 mg cm^?2. Both the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and performance tests confirm that the 40-mesh setup is preferred at the cathode. The fuel cell yields a poor performance when the cathode works with forced air convection because the air-blowing operation reduces the cell temperature and this effect dominates the cell performance. The dynamic and constant-load behaviors are also inspected.

珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的被动采样观测

研究了珠江三角洲地区大气中多环芳烃的含量与分布.利用大气被动采样装置,在包括香港在内的珠江三角洲地区共设立了21个大气被动采样点,样品采集时间为2005-08-15—10-14.结果表明,除主要存在于气相中的2～3环PAHs与部分4环PAHs外,聚氨酯泡沫材料(PUF)被动采样器也可在一定程度上采集大气颗粒物中的5～7环PAHs.珠江三角洲地区大气PAHs的含量与组成存在较大差异,珠江三角洲内地采样点PAHs的含量远远高于香港采样点,这主要是受采样点所处的地理位置、气候条件以及能源消费结构的影响.初步研究表明,PUF大气被动采样器可较好地运用于区域大气PAHs污染分布与特征对比研究.      

Indirect assessment of economic damages from the Prestige oil spill: consequences for liability and risk prevention

The social losses arising from the Prestige oil spill exceed the compensation granted under the IOPC (International Oil Pollution Compensation) system, with losses estimated at 15 times more than the applicable limit of compensations. This is far above the level of costs for which those responsible for hydrocarbons spills are liable. The highest market losses correspond to sectors of extraction, elaboration and commercialisation of seafood. However, damages to non-commercial natural resources could constitute an outstanding group of losses for which further primary data are needed: these losses would only be compensable under the current system by means of a refund for cleaning and restoration costs. Results show that, in Europe, the responsibility for oil spills in maritime transport is limited and unclear. The consequence of this is net social losses from recurrent oil spills and internationally accepted incentives for risky strategies in the marine transport of hydrocarbons.
