pH值和碳氮比对亚硝酸型反硝化影响的研究

利用序批式反应器中长期驯化好的以亚硝酸盐为主要基质的纯种污泥,做锥形瓶实验,分别研究pH和碳氮比对亚硝酸型反硝化的影响。结果表明,亚硝酸型反硝化适宜的pH范围在7.7～8.6,最佳pH值在8.2左右;碳氮比（C/N）大于1.94,可实现连续稳定的脱氮效果,起始亚硝氮比基质降解速率随C/N的增加而增加,大于3.11速率几乎不再增加,通过动力学分析,得出该实验条件下C/N的饱和常数Ks为9.36。     

SBR系统中活性污泥内源呼吸速率的研究

在SBR污水处理系统中应用呼吸速率测定仪对活性污泥的呼吸速率进行测定,探讨了污泥浓度和温度对内源呼吸速率的影响.对大量的比内源呼吸速率数据进行处理后发现,在混合液温度基本不变的基础上,内源呼吸速率与污泥浓度变化趋势一致,即比内源呼吸速率与污泥浓度无关;而温度对比内源呼吸速率的影响十分显著.这些结论为呼吸速率成为SBR工艺的控制参数提供了基础.

水中典型内分泌干扰物质的臭氧氧化研究

在静态实验中,考察了臭氧投加量、HCO^-₃浓度和pH值对O₃氧化去除水中典型内分泌干扰物（EDs）E1、E2、EE2、DES和4-n-NP的影响.结果表明,5种EDs的去除率随O₃投加量的增加而增大,O₃浓度达到63.6 μg/L时可去除92.0%以上的EDs,HCO^-₃（0～100 mg/L）的引入抑制了O₃氧化,O₃氧化去除EDs的能力随溶液pH值升高而大幅度提高.在中性（pH≈7.0）和碱性（pH＞10.6）条件下,O₃氧化5种EDs的表观二级反应速率常数(20℃±0.5℃)分别在(1.67～3.89)×10⁶　Ｌ·(mol·s)^-1和(0.93～1.75)×10⁹　Ｌ·(mol·s)^-1范围内,表明这5种物质在水中可被O₃迅速氧化去除.计算得出5种EDs的基元反应速率常数(20℃±0.5℃),发现O₃与离子态的EDs反应活性［1.21×10⁹～3.81×10⁹　Ｌ·(mol·s)^-1］是其与分子态EDs的反应活性［7.62×10⁵～2.55×10⁶　Ｌ·(mol·s)^-1］的10³～10⁴倍.对比不同水质本底下O₃氧化去除EDs的实验发现,滤后水和江水中EDs的去除率较其在超纯水中分别降低了26.5%～50.3%和57.3%～72.0%,表明实际水体中的有机物通过竞争氧化剂,抑制了EDs的O₃氧化去除.     

东海春季赤潮前后沉积物-海水界面营养盐交换速率的研究

应用实验室培养法现场研究了3～5月东海硅藻赤潮发生前后10个站位的营养盐在沉积物-海水界面的交换,并应用连续函数拟合法计算了营养盐的界面交换速率.结果显示,NO^-₃-N在赤潮前向沉积物中汇聚［-1.33～－0.68 mmol/(m²·d)］,赤潮后却基本由沉积物向海水中释放［－0.69～0.82 mmol/(m²·d)］.NH⁺₄-N在赤潮前后大都从沉积物中释放［－0.65～1.46 mmol/(m²·d)］,赤潮后释放速率小于赤潮前.NO^-₂-N赤潮前后除Zc17站外都向沉积物中汇聚［－0.09～0.05 mmol/(m²·d)］,赤潮后汇聚速率稍高.SiO^2-₃-Si在所有站位都由沉积物向海水释放［0.85～9.23 mmol/(m²·d)］,其赤潮后速率高于赤潮前.PO^3-₄-P在赤潮前向沉积物中汇聚［－0.06～－0.01 mmol/(m²·d)］,在赤潮后却由沉积物向海水中释放［0～1.26 mmol/(m²·d)］.NO^-₃-N和PO^3-₄-P向东海近海沉积物的汇聚在春季不利于硅藻赤潮的暴发,但其在硅藻赤潮暴发后从沉积物的大量释放为后面紧接的大面积甲藻赤潮的暴发提供了重要的营养物质补充.     

Time discounting and the decision to protect areas that are near and threatened or remote and cheap to acquire

Should conservation organizations focus on protecting habitats that are at imminent risk of being converted but are expensive or more remote areas that are less immediately threatened but where a large amount of land can be set aside? Variants of this trade‐off commonly arise in spatial planning. I used models of land‐use change near a deforestation frontier to examine this trade‐off. The optimal choice of where to protect was determined by how decisions taken today accounted for ecological benefits and economic costs of conservation actions that would occur sometime in the future. I used an ecological and economic discount rate to weight these benefits and costs. A large economic discount rate favored protecting more remote areas, whereas a large, positive ecological discount rate favored protecting habitat near the current deforestation frontier. The decision over where to protect was also affected by the influence economic factors had on landowners' decisions, the rate of technological change, and ecological heterogeneity of the landscape. How benefits and costs through time are accounted for warrants careful consideration when specifying conservation objectives. It may provide a niche axis along which conservation organizations differentiate themselves when competing for donor funding or other support.     

On Characteristics of Production and Destruction Processes in Lowland and Mountain Tundras of the Extreme North

Parameters of the production and destruction processes in different types of tundras are compared. It is shown that there is a fairly high degree of correspondence between the structure of tundra communities and the ecotopes occupied by them. On the other hand, typologically similar lowland and mountain tundras markedly differ in the functional respect. The rate of decomposition processes is higher under environmental conditions of the mountain tundra belt.     

Study of high-frequency electromagnetic field effect on some somatic and neuro-behavioral characteristics in healthy and neurodefective mice

The effect of long-term exposure to high frequency electromagnetic field (HF EMF) on some somatic and neural characteristics was studied in neurodefective Lurcher mutant (+/Lc) and normal wild type mice (+/+). Both newborn and young adult (3 months) animals derived from two strains (C3H, B6CBA) were exposed to HF EMF (870 MHz) from 1st to 21st day or from 91st to 120th day respectively. In animals of both groups and controls we observed the development of body weight. Moreover, in the HF EMF exposed adult B6CBA animals we studied spatial learning ability, motor functions and the CNS excitability. To investigate specific energy absorption rate (SAR) in experimental animals we have done the basic 3D calculations of the electromagnetic energy distribution in the simplified model of the mouse. The HF EMF exposed animals exhibited mild differences of body weight between them and unexposed controls. The long-term exposure to HF EMF did not significantly influence the ability to learn in the Morris water maze. However, significant lower swimming speed was found in the irradiated +/Lc as well as lower motor activity of +/+ in the open field when compared to controls. No significant differences were found between HF EMF irradiated animals and controls in examination of the CNS excitability and motor functions.
