LEAF LITTER BREAKDOWN IN A RECENTLY IMPOUNDED RESERVOIR1

ABSTRACT: The impoundment of Richard B. Russell Lake resulted in the inundation of 3490 ha of forested area or 33 percent of the total area of the lake. Estimates of the total inundated leaf litter biomass were combined with a leaf litter decomposition study to determine the nutrient load and dissolved oxygen demand to the reservoir. Hickory leaf bags broke down most rapidly at the 3-m and 28-rn depths, followed by short-needle pine, white oak, a hardwood litter mixture, beech, and red oak. Leaf bags incubated at the 3-m depth exhibited significantly higher breakdown rates than those at the 28-m depth for most leaf types, due to differences in dissolved oxygen and temperature. Respiration rates of litter were also higher at the 3-m depth. Most leaf types accumulated nitrogen and phosphorus and lost organic carbon after an initial leaching period. Richard B. Russell Lake exhibited extensive anoxia and the buildup of total organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus during summer stratification. Leaf litter breakdown accounted for 64 percent of the organic carbon increase but acted as a sink for nitrogen and phosphorus. The dissolved oxygen demand of the litter accounted for over 50 percent of the demand incurred in the lake.

Destruction of VOCs by combination of corona discharge and catalysis techniques

The catalytic effect of alumina on the destruction of toluene, benzene, acetone and methanol, in DC pulsed corona discharge reactor was studied. In the presence of alumina the inlet concentration of the VOCs was varied from ～5×10^-6mol/L to ～80×10^-6mol/L, and their decomposition efficiency (conversion %) was found to be 99%—80% for toluene, 99%—97% for benzene, 95%—92% for acetone, and 72%—85% for methanol. Corresponding decomposition in the absence of alumina was 90%—38% for toluene, 89%—57% for benzene, 42%—30% for acetone, and 47%—19% for methanol. Feed gas flow rate was 400 cm³/min and power reading from DC source was 7.4 W in all of the experiments. Alumina also shifted the CO/CO₂ ratio in the by products in favor of CO₂. Ozone concentration at the reactor outlet was higher in the presence of alumina. Enhancement in VOCs decomposition by alumina was explained on the basis of higher concentration of ozone and its precursor atomic oxygen [O] . Decomposition efficiency (conversion %) for individual compounds was found to be inversely proportional to the ionization potential of the compound, under identical conditions. Double DC high voltage sources pulse generator was tested and found to improve VOCs decomposition compared with the conventional single DC high voltage source.      

NO-CO-CO2-N2体系中若干金属氧化物对NO去除反应的催化作用

采用固定床流动反应装置，考察Ｃｕ２Ｏ、ＣｕＯ、Ｃｒ２Ｏ３、Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、ＭｎＯ２、Ｎｉ２Ｏ３、Ｖ２Ｏ５等金属氧化物对ＮＯＣＯＣＯ２Ｎ２体系中ＮＯ去除反应的催化作用，同时，分析了ＮＯＣＯＣＯ２Ｎ２体系中金属氧化物对ＮＯ去除的作用。研究结果表明，各金属氧化物对ＮＯ去除反应均有不同程度的催化活性，其中Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、Ｎｉ２Ｏ３、ＣｕＯ等对ＮＯ的去除显示出较强的催化作用。金属氧化物存在条件下ＮＯＣＯＣＯ２Ｎ２体系中，ＮＯ去除反应较为复杂，ＮＯ／ＣＯ气相直接反应、低价氧化物对ＮＯ的还原作用、金属氧化物对ＮＯ分解反应的催化作用及金属氧化物对ＮＯ／ＣＯ反应的催化作用等都可能存在。大部分金属氧化物以对ＮＯ／ＣＯ反应的催化作用为主，而Ｎｉ２Ｏ３的预还原试样对ＮＯ的直接分解反应表现了极强的催化活性。

Analysis of impulse electric field effect on organic exhaust gas decomposition

The technique of organic exhaust gas decomposition with impulse corono-dischrge plasma has been investigated in this study. It has been discovered that the impulse electric fieldaffected the decomposition efficiency with the secondary electron emission coefficient (δ of the corona electrode as an intermediate: when W was fixed the corona electrode material with higher δcould induce higher decomposition efficiency. In these experiments,wolfram electrode which has the highest δhas really induced the highest decomposition efficiency.

活性有机碳含量在凋落物分解过程中的作用

土壤凋落物的分解不仅是生态系统养分循环的重要环节,也是生态系统碳释放源之一。将呼伦贝尔森林草原过渡带的草原凋落物、白桦林凋落物、落松林凋落物分别添加在棕色针叶林土里进行恒温培养,探讨了不同凋落物类型有机碳分解速率差异及其影响因子。结果表明:不同凋落物的有机碳矿化速率和矿化累积总量在分解初期不一致,但由高到低的次序均为:草原凋落物→白桦林凋落物→落叶松林凋落物,40d的有机碳矿化累积量分别为76.53、47.42、20.56mg/g。这主要与凋落物的化学性质有关,主要决定于凋落物中易被微生物分解的热水溶性有机碳含量和易分解有机物含量,而与凋落物的总有机碳含量、全氮含量、w(C)/w(N)比等关系不明显。

Annual C-CO₂ emission in the region reaches 31 million tons of carbon, which is equivalent to 116 million tons of carbon dioxide. With respect to the volume of emission, natural zones may be arranged in the following descending series: southern taiga (38%), middle taiga (29%), subtaiga (16%), forest-steppe (10%), northern taiga (6%), and forest-tundra (1%).
