Best available techniques (BAT) for the fruit and vegetable processing industry

Best available techniques (BAT) are an important reference point in the environmental permit regulation for industrial installations in the European Union Member States, which have to implement the integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC)-directive (96/61/EC). BAT correspond to the techniques and organisational measures with the best overall environmental performance that can be introduced at a reasonable cost. In the Flanders part of Belgium, BAT are usually determined at the sector level. The ‘Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industry’ [BAT for Fruit and Vegetable Processing Industry. Gent, Belgium: Academia Press, 1999] is one of the industries for which a BAT report has been drafted. In this paper, the main results of this study are presented. Special attention is given to the use of high quality water¹, as this is the key environmental issue of the industry.

Indigenous Waste Management Practices among the Ngwa of Southeastern Nigeria: Some Lessons and Policy Implications

Despite large investments that have gone into meeting the challenges of effective waste management in urban Nigeria, there is little evidence that such efforts are having their expected impacts. Consequently, much attention has been drawn to the need to evolve more sustainable waste management strategies. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews among the Ngwa of southeastern Nigeria, some useful indigenous solid and liquid waste management techniques, in the search for solutions to the current waste management crisis in urban Nigeria, have become evident. These indigenous techniques and practices, which include ingenious and careful waste segregation and sorting, selective burning and burying, composting and conversion, etc., offer scope for meeting the challenges and addressing the limitations of current waste management in urban areas, especially if they are supported by appropriate inputs from modern technology.     

GRADUATE EDUCATION IN WATER RESOURCES: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH1

ABSTRACT: The production of videotape as a product of a water resources seminar is an innovative approach to graduate education. The research effort required builds upon the traditional graduate seminar approach. The videotape production requires research effort to be focused into a coherent body of information which may be widely disseminated and effectively communicates information to the public. The use of outside speakers and field trips blends very well into the preparation of a videotape. The requriement to present the many sides of a complex water resource issue in a fair and equitable manner requires maturity and professional capability on the part of the students. The research effort requires the students to meet their professional obligation to present an objective, factual, and accurate statement of the issues studies.     

安徽省耕地资源动态变化及驱动机制研究

根据安徽省多年的统计资料，运用主成分分析法研究耕地的动态变化特点及动力机制。结果表明，影响安徽省耕地变化的因素有两个方面：人口社会经济因素和土地生产力要素。并在此基础上，建立多元线性回归模型，对安徽省耕地变化的趋势进行科学的预测。     

多功能水质分析仪中COD替代试剂的研制

为了降低COD测定成本,减小试剂污染,介绍了一种测定量程为0～1 500 mg/L的HACHCOD替代试剂.重点讨论了组分配比、标准曲线、消解管磨损等因素对测定结果的影响,并提出一系列提高测定质量,减少测定误差的措施.该替代试剂配比为0.5 mL 1/6 K2Cr2O7 (1.00 mol/L) 2.5 mL 1% H2SO4-Ag2SO4 0.04 g HgSO4,在组成上接近于HACH原装试剂,使用内置程序测定的误差介于2.79%～5%之间,使用对应的程序测定误差为0.23%～2.64%.实验证明,与HACH原装试剂、传统重铬酸钾法相比,该替代试剂在测定准确度方面无明显差异,3种方法的平均变异系数分别为1.87%、2.37%和3.71%,测定精密度满足要求, t 均小于 t 0.95,测定结果准确可靠.经济技术比较显示替代试剂具有操作简单,成本低,污染小,适合批量测定等优势.单个样品的平均测定成本仅为0.78 元.     

基于层次分析法的机车行车安全评价研究

铁路运输的基本动力是机车，机车行车安全对整个铁路运输的安全生产有着十分重要的作用。在机车行车安全中，影响因素错综复杂且人为因素较多。针对这一特点，从系统工程的观点出发，提出采用层次分析法对机车行车安全进行安全评价，并通过机车冒进信号这一实例，探讨了层次分析法作为一种便捷有效的安全评价方法应用于机车行车安全评价中的可行性。     

离子色谱方法在分析大气湿沉降中的应用

使用ISC-90美国戴安离子色谱仪,采用AS14阴离子分离柱,分析大气湿沉降中无机阴离子F^-、Cl^-、NO2^-、NO3^-、PO4^-等七种,共检出F^-、Cl^-、NO2^-、NO3^-和SO4^2-五种无机阴离子,它具有分析快速,准确、灵敏高、噪声小,基线稳定,背景电导低,线性范围宽,样品用量少,无污染等优点,同时进行多组份测定,是目前分析大气湿沉降组份首选的分析方法之一。     

镇江滨江湿地受损植被诊断及修复研究

镇江滨江湿地沿长江岸线,依附镇江市市北,是由江水所携泥沙常年淤积而成。湿地内植被茂盛,物种丰富。但近年的污染排放及渔民围网捕鱼,植被破坏严重,湿地生态功能遭到削弱。研究通过对位于大东沟排污口的受损植被与另一处于相同演替阶段的健康植被比较,识别受损植被的致损因子,并分析其对群落结构及其演替进程的影响。结果显示,污染排放和当地渔民的围网捕鱼是导致大东沟片植被处于中等程度退化的主要因子。在植被的修复中,基于次生演替理论和自设计理论,采用工程技术和优势种栽培技术相结合原则,实现污染控制和加速植被的恢复。     

基于3S技术的区域生态环境质量监测研究

在G IS、RS等软件的支持下,对福建省闽江流域、九龙江流域和晋江流域的MOD IS数据、气象数据和地形数据进行处理,建立三大流域的生态环境质量监测模型,研究分析福建三大流域生态环境质量的空间分布情况及动态变化趋势。研究结果表明:在人口聚集、经济发达、地势较为平坦和交通便利的区域生态环境质量较差,而在人口稀疏、经济欠发达的丘陵山区生态环境质量良好。福建三大流域中九龙江流域生态环境质量最好,晋江流域生态环境质量最差。随着时间的推进,三大流域的生态质量都在不同程度上出现缓和趋势,这是对流域生态环境保护工作所取得成绩的印证,也可为今后制定更加有效的生态环境质量保护措施和政策提供科学的参考依据。
