Uncertainty in integrated coastal zone management

Uncertainty plays a major role in Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). A large part of this uncertainty is connected to our lack of knowledge of the integrated functioning of the coastal system and to the increasing need to act in a pro-active way. Increasingly, coastal managers are forced to take decisions based on information which is surrounded by uncertainties. Different types of uncertainty can be identified and the role of uncertainty in decision making, scientific uncertainty and model uncertainty in ICZM is discussed. The issue of spatial variability, which is believed to be extremely important in ICZM and represents a primary source of complexity and uncertainty, is also briefly introduced. Some principles for complex model building are described as an approach to handle, in a balanced way, the available data, information, knowledge and experience. The practical method of sensitivity analysis is then introduced as a method for a posterior evaluation of uncertainty in simulation models. We conclude by emphasising the need for the definition of an analysis plan in order to handle model uncertainty in a balanced way during the decision making process.     

UV-catalytic treatment of spent caustic from ethene plant with hydrogen peroxide and ozone oxidation

The performance of UV/H2O2, UV/O3 and UV/H2O2/O3 oxidation systems for treating spent caustic from an ethylene plant was investigated, in UV/H2O2 system, with the increase of H202 dosage, removal efficiencies of COD and the ratio of biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) to chemical oxygen demand(COD) of the effluent were increased and a better performance was obtained than the H2O2 system alone. In UV/H2O2 system, removal efficiency of COD reach 68% under the optimum condition, and BOD/COD ratio was significantly increased from 0.22 to 0.52. In UV/O3 system, with the increase of O3 dosage, removal efficiency of COD and BOD/COD ratio were increased, and a better performance was obtained than the O3 system alone. Under the optimum condition, removal efficiency of COD was 54%, and BOD/COD ratio was significantly increased from 0.22 to 0.48. In UV/H2O2/O3 system, COD removal efficiency was found to be 22.0% higher than UV/O3 system.     

Rapid treatment of atrazine-contaminated water by nickel/iron bimetallic system

The utility of nickel/iron in the remediation of atraz.ine-contaminated water was investigated. The experimental results showed that nickel/iron had effective catalytic activity in dechlorinating atraz.ine under acidic conditions. The dechlonnation reaction approximately followed the first-order kinetics under the experimental conditions( nickel/iron: 1.0 g/250 ml: Ca~r~ = 20.0 mg/L), the reaction rate increased with decreasing pH value of the reaction solution and increasing the proportion of Ni: Fe within 2.95 %. For condition with 2.95% nickel/iron, the reaction rate constants were 0.07518( R = 0.9927), 0.06212( R = 0.9846) and 0.00131 min^-1 ( R = 0.9.565) at pH = 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, respectively. HPLC analysis was used to monitor the decline of atraz.ine concentration.

浙江省蔬菜生产系统重金属污染生态健康风险

为了解浙江省蔬菜生产系统重金属污染情况和居民的膳食健康风险,选择浙江省典型的蔬菜生产基地作为研究区域,采集了102对蔬菜和土壤样本,分析了浙江省蔬菜生产系统重金属Cd、 Cu、 Pb、 Cr、 As、 Ni和Hg的分布和富集特征,并采用内梅罗综合污染指数、潜在生态风险指数和膳食暴露评估模型系统评价了蔬菜生产系统生态健康风险.结果表明,研究区土壤Cd超标严重,超标率为97.2%,土壤以中轻度污染风险为主,Cd污染风险最大,其次是Pb、 Cu和As.蔬菜中仅有少量豆类和瓜果类蔬菜Cd超标,超标率分别为12.5%和8.7%.不同种类蔬菜的重金属富集能力差异明显,总体表现为：叶菜>豆类>瓜果类>根茎类.浙江省居民食用本地蔬菜的非致癌风险和致癌风险都在可接受范围,儿童比成人更容易面临风险(P<0.01),Cd和Pb对健康风险的贡献率最高.浙江省蔬菜生产系统生产的蔬菜整体处于安全水平,但需要加强对Cd和Pb的污染源管控.     

作物生长和氮含量对土壤-作物系统CO2排放的影响

为探讨作物生物学特征对土壤-作物系统CO₂排放的影响,本研究基于逐步收割法和静态暗箱-气相色谱技术,以冬小麦和水稻作物为研究对象,采用盆栽和大田试验的方法,在作物生长的主要生育期原位测定了土壤-作物系统CO₂排放速率,同时测定了作物生物量和氮含量.研究结果表明:①土壤-作物系统CO₂排放在生长季内呈现动态变化,土壤-水稻系统CO₂排放高于土壤-冬小麦系统.②作物暗呼吸速率与生物量呈显著线性相关.③作物暗呼吸系数(R_d)的季节变化可以用植株氮含量来描述.冬小麦R_d与N含量的关系可用线性方程R_d=0.0124N-0.0076(R²=0.9879,p<0.001)表示;水稻R_d与N含量的关系可用二次方程R_d=0.0085N2-0.0049NR²=0.9776,p<0.001)表示.④作物根系的参与极大地促进了土壤呼吸.冬小麦生长季土壤表观呼吸CO₂平均值为247.2 mg·(m²·h)^-1 ,高于未种作物土壤1.78倍,水稻生长季为215.3 mg·(m²·h)^-1 CO₂,高于未种作物土壤的3.38倍.冬小麦根系呼吸系数大于水稻,其根际呼吸对土壤表观呼吸的贡献高于水稻.
