Success factors and barriers in re-use of electrical and electronic equipment

This paper aims to identify specific and generic success factors and barriers in the re-use of electrical and electronic equipment for a variety of different operating models. The scope of the study is information and communication technologies (ICT) and large household appliances. Success factors and barriers for re-use were identified through the conducting of semi-structured interviews with 28 case study partners representing the different models. A list of generic success factors and barriers was identified. From this generic list, the re-use success factors and barriers were ranked by the interviewees with regards to their importance. On the one hand, the difficulty in accessing sufficient volumes of good quality used equipment and the lack of legislations, which support, incentivize and – if necessary – enforce this access, were identified as most impactful barriers. On the other hand, the control and securing of product and process quality were ranked as most important success factors. Re-use organisations, which adhere to good re-use practices, differentiate themselves through quality guarantee from non-compliant, informal competitors. Moreover, proven quality strengthens confidence in re-use of important stakeholders like suppliers, customers, authorities and the general public. Differences in reuse barriers and success factors were also explored for varying geographical regions, product category and operating models.     

Are we planning for sustainable disaster recovery? Evaluating recovery plans after the Wenchuan earthquake

This article examines local recovery plans that were created in response to the Wenchuan earthquake and then suggests ways that planners can better apply the concept of sustainability to the recovery process. We utilize a plan evaluation protocol to analyze 16 recovery plans in counties and towns that were severely affected by the earthquake. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with public officials and planners, with the qualitative data gleaned from these interviews being used to supplement the plan quality assessment. The results reveal that local recovery plans do not appear to have incorporated sufficiently the concepts of sustainability. We conclude the paper with the following recommendations: emphasizing sustainability as a policy priority during vision and goal development; developing solid databases and planning techniques; designing a diversified set of regulatory- and incentive-based policy tools suitable for local governments; enhancing social and institutional learning; and further integrating multi-level and interagency governmental units.

Estimating Crop Water Use via Remote Sensing Techniques vs. Conventional Methods in the South Platte River Basin,Colorado

We compared two methods of estimating crop water consumption to assess whether remote sensing techniques provide consumptive use (CU) estimates commensurate with conventional methods. Using available historical satellite and meteorological data, we applied Mapping EvapoTranspiration at high Resolution using Internalized Calibration (METRIC) to 317,455 ha in the South Platte basin, in northeastern Colorado, for the 2001 irrigation season. We then compared these derived CU estimates with values calculated by using the Colorado Water Conservation Board's South Platte Decision Support System StateCU model. Evaluating the data by irrigation ditch service area, we disaggregated the output to allow for comparison by service area size, crop type, irrigation method, water supply source, and water availability. We concluded that METRIC is a suitable alternative to StateCU in the South Platte basin and could help to identify areas with inhibited crop growth or deficit irrigation practices. In addition, METRIC could be used as a complement to StateCU to refine StateCU model parameters, allowing for more accurate estimates of crop water shortages and groundwater recharge associated with irrigation delivery and application.     

珠江三角洲轻型汽油车匀速状态挥发性有机物排放特征研究

以18辆轻型汽油车(LDGVs)为研究对象,利用底盘测功机搭建挥发性有机物(VOCs)采样系统.利用气相色谱-质谱仪(GC-MS)和高效液相色谱(HPLC)识别了匀速25 km·h~(-1)时尾气VOCs化学成分谱和排放因子,并在分析时考虑了排放标准、行驶工况和车辆属性等因素的影响.结果表明,轻型汽油车低速匀速工况下尾气组成以烷烃(40.8%,C_5～C_7烷烃较多)为主,其次是芳香烃(29.5%)和含氧VOCs(26.0%),烯炔烃(3.6%)和卤代烃(0.1%)较少.其中,甲醛、异戊烷、甲苯、苯、间/对二甲苯、丙酮、2-甲基戊烷、正戊烷、1,2,4-三甲基苯和壬醛是比例最高的物质(52.01%).低速匀速行驶中生成了比例更低的烯烃和比例更高的C_5～C_7烷烃和OVOCs.排放标准为国III、IV和V的轻型汽油车在低速匀速工况下,VOCs排放因子分别为(50.12±46.83)、(40.26±31.15)和(3.25±0.65) mg·km~(-1).国IV到国V车的烷烃、烯炔烃、芳香烃、卤代烃和总VOCs降幅均超过88%,而OVOCs降幅只有约55%,说明OVOCs在国V车的排放富集程度更高.总体来讲,国V车排放的VOCs反应活性约为国IV车排放的VOCs反应活性的11%.车辆属性对VOCs排放的影响表现为:年份、里程和排量的增加会促进VOCs排放的整体增加,而基准质量对VOCs排放的影响相对较小.     

硝化作用对盐碱湿地N2O排放的影响及其环境因子分析

湿地是温室气体氧化亚氮(N_2O)重要的源或汇,盐碱湿地作为湿地的重要组成部分,研究其N_2O排放对于探究盐碱湿地N_2O产生的硝化作用机制及评估其在温室效应中的作用具有重要意义.本文对代表性盐碱湿地——扎龙芦苇沼泽湿地生长季的N_2O释放量及相关环境因子进行了研究.结果表明,生长季N_2O通量呈波动性下降趋势,最大值出现在7月中旬,平均排放通量为(37. 49±15. 75)μg·(m2·h)-1,表现为N_2O的释放"源". N_2O通量与不同深度土层温度存在显著正相关关系(P 0. 05),且上层土温对N_2O排放的影响程度高于深层土;淹水期间N_2O通量与积水深度呈显著负相关关系(P 0. 05);且土壤TOC和TN含量较低,N_2O通量与0～40 cm土层NH+4-N含量呈显著正相关关系(P 0. 05),而与NO-3-N含量没有关系,硝化作用程度要比反硝化强;此外,土壤氨氧化菌活性与0～20 cm土层温度存在极显著正相关关系(P 0. 01),且N_2O通量与氨氧化菌活性也呈极显著的线性正相关关系(P 0. 001),表明盐碱湿地的N_2O释放受硝化作用影响巨大.

地下水环境影响评价中污染物运移模拟软件的适宜性评估

目前国内外已发展了一系列成熟的地下水污染物运移模拟软件,但是软件功能各异,易造成使用者的选择困扰.为满足HJ 610—2016《环境影响评价技术导则地下水环境》（简称“《导则》”）中关于环境影响预测工作精细化的要求,对国内外常用饱和带和包气带污染物运移模拟软件的适宜性进行了评估.首先,针对三款常用饱和带污染物运移模拟软件BIOSCREEN、AT123D和MT3D,基于理想算例对比4组水动力条件设置下的计算结果,分析软件的适宜性;其次,针对《导则》中暂未给出的包气带污染物运移模拟软件,以FEMWATER为例探讨了包气带阻滞作用对于地下水环境影响评价的重要性.结果表明:①BIOSCREEN由于忽略了分子扩散作用,当Pe（Peclet数）为0.25×10-3时,其预测的污染源下游10 m处污染物浓度为AT123D和MT3D计算值的1.8倍,存在高估污染风险的可能.②相比污染源直接设置于潜水面的情景,污染物从距潜水面11 m的地表泄露,经过包气带后污染源强降低了24%,下游85 m处污染物浓度达到0.1 mg/L的时间延迟了390 d.③当地下水流速较慢,分子扩散作用相比对流作用占优势时,适用MT3D开展数值模拟或者采用AT123D进行解析预测;当对流作用占优势且水文地质条件接近解析解假设时,可利用BIOSCREEN粗估污染风险.研究显示,包气带污染物运移模拟软件有助于合理地预测污染物在地下水环境中的运移转化行为,从而更准确地估计污染源强和判定地下水环境污染风险.      

农业灌溉用水经济价值及其影响因素——基于剩余价值法和陕西关中地区农户调研数据

灌溉水经济价值是农业用水定价的重要基础。根据陕西关中地区农户调研数据,采用剩余价值法计算得到小麦、玉米和苹果灌溉水经济价值均值分别为0.66 元/m³、0.84 元/m³、3.17 元/m³。以该结果作为水价调整上限与现状水价比较,小麦和玉米的水价上调空间介于0.24~0.71元/m³,苹果的水价调整空间介于2.72~3.04 元/m³之间。使用分位数模型对影响因素的研究发现：（1）仅在灌溉水经济价值较低时,农户和家庭特征以及土地分散程度有显著影响;（2）在灌溉水经济价值较高时,增强农户节水意识以及加入用水者协会将能有效提升灌溉用水经济价值;（3）粮食转为经济作物、进行农业水价综合改革在所有分位点上均呈显著正向影响。本文可为研究区域农业用水分类定价及改善用水效率提供参考。
