多核聚合形态Al30混凝控制水中腐殖酸与残留铝的研究

制备了优势形态为Al30的聚合铝PAC-Al30,与优势形态为Al13的常用聚合铝PAC-Al13及AlCl3作对比实验,考察了不同铝系混凝剂强化混凝控制水中腐殖酸(Humic Acid,HA)和残留铝的差异.结果表明,PAC-Al30具有足够的稳定性,与PAC-Al13和AlCl3相比,PAC-Al30可以更好地控制出水腐殖酸和残留铝浓度,且以碱化度B为2.4的PAC-Al30效果最好.PAC-Al30和PAC-Al13比AlCl3有更宽的有效投量范围,可以提高实际应用中的稳定性.Ca2 和高岭土的存在均有利于PAC-Al30混凝去除HA.低温对PAC-Al30混凝去除HA有不利影响.研究表明,Al30是一种可用于控制水中腐殖酸和残留铝的新型混凝/絮凝活性成分.     

不同铝形态去除水中腐殖酸的混凝特性

制备了碱化度为2.4、以Al13,为主要成分的聚合铝PAC-All13和碱化度为2.4、以Al30为主要成分的高聚聚合铝PAC-Al30.采用烧杯混凝实验,通过絮体颗粒生长、电中和能力、pH和混凝剂投量对混凝效果的影响,比较了PAC-Al30、PAC-Al13,和AIC3,混凝去除水中腐殖酸的行为,并考察了水中残留铝的含量.实验结果表明,3种混凝剂的絮体形成能力由强到弱为PAC-Al30>PAC-Al13>AlCl3.与AlCl3相比, PAC-Al13和PAC-Al30的适用pH范围更宽,为5.0～8.0.PAC-Al30和PAC-Al13,的电中和能力差别不明显;由于更强的吸附和架桥作用,在低投量下PAC-Al30表现出更好的混凝效果,而且PAC-Al30比AlCl3和PAC-Al13有更宽的有效投量范围,为0.08～0.64mmol/L.对于腐殖酸含量为10m/L的水样,在pH为7.0,投量为0.16mmol/L下, PAC-Al30对腐殖酸去除率达到98.5%,此时出水残留铝浓度为0.066mg/L.结果证实Al30是可用于水中腐殖酸去除的一种新型的混凝/絮凝活性成.     

Metalliferous sediments in the Atlantis II Deep—Assessing the geological and economic resource potential and legal constraints

Projected increases in demand and thus increasing metal prices have brought the exploration and exploitation of marine mineral resources back into focus. The Atlantis II Deep, located in the central Red Sea between Saudi Arabia and Sudan, is one of the largest marine sulfide deposits known, with high concentrations of metals such as zinc, copper, silver and gold. However, little is known about the economic potential of marine minerals as well as the legal constraints. Our geological assessment shows that the deep is similar in grades and scale to large land-based deposits. Its economic potential is far from negligible. The total present value of possible gross revenues for the four metals zinc, copper, silver and gold ranges from 3.03 to 5.29 billion US$, depending on the assumptions made concerning future price development, mass calculation and discount rate. From a legal perspective, a general duty to cooperate in the exploration and exploitation of non-living resources located in disputed maritime areas is identified in both customary international law and in UNCLOS. It is submitted that a joint development agreement is one means of ensuring compliance with this duty in general and in the case of the Atlantis II Deep in particular.     

考虑参数和边界条件不确定性的地下水污染随机模拟

为了分析模型参数的随机变化和边界条件的随机变化对地下水溶质运移模型输出结果的不确定性影响,采用蒙特卡洛模拟对一假想算例展开研究,并结合风险评估阐述不确定性分析结果.首先,建立研究区地下水溶质运移数值模拟模型,并综合利用局部灵敏度分析和全局灵敏度分析方法筛选出对模型输出结果影响较大的参数,连同模型的边界条件(第一类边界条件-水头值)一起作为随机变量.然后,利用优化超参数的高斯过程回归(GPR)方法建立模拟模型的替代模型,代替模拟模型完成蒙特卡洛随机模拟.最后,对随机模拟的结果进行统计分析和区间估计,并利用污染物浓度的概率分布函数对1、2、3号观测井进行地下水污染风险评价.结果表明:置信水平>80%时,1,2,3号观测井污染物浓度值的置信区间分别为34.77~35.03,57.74~58.04,100.07~100.69mg/L.此外,1,2,3号观测井为轻度污染的风险分别为6%,100%,100%;为中度污染的风险分别为0%,0%,99.6%;为重度污染的风险分别为0%,0%,0.5%,藉此为地下水污染修复防治和地下水的合理利用提供可靠参考依据.     

An empirical approach to determine specific weights of driving factors for the price of commodities—A contribution to the measurement of the economic scarcity of minerals and metals

In recent years, commodity markets show a large amount of volatility and substantial price jumps, indicating an increasing economic scarcity in many cases. As this scarcity makes commodity procurement a critical issue for national economies, industry sectors and manufacturing companies, a number of criticality indices have been presented and utilized in science as well as in practice. These indices are mostly based on an aggregation of different key figures, both qualitative and quantitative. However, the weighting of the different factors is in most cases arbitrary or based on rough estimates.     

Iron ore spot price volatility and change in forward pricing mechanism

To examine the impact of the change in forward pricing mechanism on the volatility of iron ore spot prices, we model the iron ore daily price of Platts IODEX from October 7, 2008 to September 21, 2012. The identified iron ore spot price tends to be less volatile after the introduction of quarterly pricing mechanism. Our main approaches are as follows: (i) to decompose the spot price of Platts IODEX into two subsamples and relate the result of the structural break to the date of the switch in the iron ore forward pricing mechanism; (ii) to apply the EGARCH (1, 1) model to simultaneously capture the long memory and the asymmetric effect on the volatility of the iron ore spot price; and (iii) to delineate the news impact curve to further interpret the asymmetric effect.     

GC-MS法测定多种有机磷农药残留

以HP-35MS色谱柱代替传统的HP-5MS色谱柱,试验了蔬菜、水果中多种有机磷农药残留的气-质联用快速检测方法。采用选择离子扫描(SIM)模式,根据保留时间和特征离子丰度比,可在40 m in内定性和定量检测30种有机磷农药残留。通过对蔬菜、水果等样品多次试验验证,添加量为0.01μg~1.00μg时,回收率在79.5%~106%之间,相对标准偏差<10%,检出限为6.6×10-10g~8.7×10-9g,均比使用HP-5MS色谱柱有所改善。
