Variations in surface functional groups, carbon chemical state and graphitization degree during thermal deactivation of diesel soot particles

The thermal deactivation of diesel soot particles exerts a significant influence on the control strategy for the regeneration of diesel particulate filters (DPFs). This work focused on the changes in the surface functional groups, carbon chemical state, and graphitization degree during thermal treatment in an inert gas environment at intermediate temperatures of 600°C, 800°C, and 1000°C and explore the chemical species that were desorbed from the diesel soot surface during thermal treatment using a thermogravimetric analyser coupled with a gas-chromatograph mass spectrometer (TGA-GC/MS). The surface functional groups and carbon chemical state were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The graphitization degree was evaluated by means of Raman spectroscopy (RS). The concentrations of aliphatic C–H, C–OH, C=O, and O–C=O groups are reduced for diesel soot and carbon black when increasing the thermal treatment temperature, while the sp²/sp³ hybridized ratio and graphitization degree enhance. These results provide comprehensive evidence of the decreased reactivity of soot samples. Among oxygenated functional groups, the percentage reduction during thermal treatment is the largest for the O–C=O groups owing to its worst thermodynamic stability. TGA-GC/MS results show that the aliphatic and aromatic chains and oxygenated species would be desorbed from the soot surface during 1000°C thermal treatment of diesel soot.     

Roles of State Strategy of Adaptation to Climate Change in China

For the adverse impacts of climate change, China government should place the problem of adaptation to climate change on the agenda. It is time to institute and implement a state adaptive strategy to reduce the adverse impacts on economy, community and people＇s health and life by international cooperation and our own endeavor. A state strategy of adaptation to climate change should be closely linked with other current interrelated national strategies, and they should be supplemented and improved by each other. This paper discusses the roles of the state strategy of adaptation to climate change in the state climate change integrative strategy, the environmental protection strategy, and the sustainable development strategy in China. Furthermore, it proposes the main aims of the state adaptive strategy of China.     

Experience in mapping the ecological state of the plant cover

Objectives and methods of mapping the ecological state of the plant cover at different spatial levels—federal, regional, and local—are analyzed. The maps used as examples are as follows: at the federal level, “Ecological State of Rangelands in Russia” (1:10 000 000); at the regional level, “Vegetation of Moscow Oblast” (1:200 000); and at the local level, “Vegetation of Narofominskii Raion” and “Current State of the Plant Cover in Narofominskii Raion” (1:50 000).     

深圳大气气溶胶中水溶性有机物粒径分布特征

建立了雾化器-气溶胶化学组分检测仪(ACSM)联用的分析方法,实现了对2013年春季深圳MOUDI多级采样膜(0.056~18μm)中WSOM与无机离子组分的同时测定.结果表明:所测得的水溶性颗粒物总质量浓度变化范围为(17.4±2.1)μg/m3,其中有机物和硫酸盐是最主要的两种化学组分;粗、细粒子中的WSOM主要以二次来源为主,且大部分粗粒子中的WSOM可能来源于非均相反应;不同粒径范围WSOM的氧化态(以O/C计)估计值在0.46~1.4范围内,平均为0.96,对应的有机物/有机碳比(OM/OC)估计值在1.8~2.9范围内,平均为2.4,粗粒子中WSOM的O/C比细粒子更高,暗示粗粒子中WSOM可能经历了更多的老化过程.     

九里山井田断层构造区应力分析及区域划分

利用空心包体应力解除法对九里山矿进行地应力现场实测,得到不同位置和埋深的地应力实测数据,分析结果验证九里山矿地壳浅部以水平构造应力为主。以九里山井田区域内断层构造为骨架,建立三维有限差分地质模型。根据现场地应力测量结果,利用Flac3D软件进行数值模拟,模拟结果显示,断层存在会对原岩应力造成不同程度的扰动,造成原岩应力分布不均。在以上分析的基础上划分出井田应力增高区,应力降低区及应力梯度区     

The analytical framework of water and armed conflict: a focus on the 2006 Summer War between Israel and Lebanon

This paper develops an analytical framework to investigate the relationship between water and armed conflict, and applies it to the ‘Summer War’ of 2006 between Israel and Lebanon (Hezbollah). The framework broadens and deepens existing classifications by assessing the impact of acts of war as indiscriminate or targeted, and evaluating them in terms of international norms and law, in particular International Humanitarian Law (IHL). In the case at hand, the relationship is characterised by extensive damage in Lebanon to drinking water infrastructure and resources. This is seen as a clear violation of the letter and the spirit of IHL, while the partial destruction of more than 50 public water towers compromises water rights and national development goals. The absence of pre‐war environmental baselines makes it difficult to gauge the impact on water resources, suggesting a role for those with first‐hand knowledge of the hostilities to develop a more effective response before, during, and after armed conflict.

矿柱是地下矿山支撑顶板围岩、维持采场稳定的关键结构要素。为迅速准确地判别矿柱稳定性,选取矿柱宽度、矿柱高度、矿柱宽高比、矿岩单轴抗压强度和矿柱承受载荷作为影响指标,利用高斯过程机器学习算法建立矿柱状态与其主要影响因素之间的非线性映射关系,进而提出一种基于高斯过程二元分类(GPC)的矿柱状态识别模型。结合工程实例,以40组样本数据进行训练,以10组样本数据对该模型进行检验,并与ANN和SVM进行对比。结果表明,矿柱状态识别的高斯过程模型是科学可行的,该模型具有参数自适应化获取、分类精度高、计算复杂度低等优点,还可对矿柱状态判别结果的不确定性或可信度进行定量化评价。
