Enhanced ozonation of dichloroacetic acid in aqueous solution using nanometer ZnO powders

Nanometer zinc oxide (ZnO) powders were used as a catalyst to enhance the ozonation for the degradation of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) in aqueous solution. The batch experiments were carried out to investigate the e ects of key factors such as catalyst dosage, ozone dosage, solution pH and tert-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH) on the degradation e ciency of DCAA. Density functional theory (DFT) was adopted to explore the mechanism of generating hydroxyl radical (.OH) on the ZnO surface. The results showed that adsorption and ozonation processes were not e ective for DCAA removal, and the addition of ZnO catalyst improved the degradation e ciency of DCAA during ozonation, which caused an increase of 22.8% for DCAA decomposition compared to the case of ozonation alone after 25 min. Under the same experimental conditions, the DCAA decomposition was enhanced by increasing catalyst dosage from 100 to 500 mg/L and ozone dosage from 0.83 to 3.2 mg/L. The catalytic ozonation process is more pronounced than the ozonation process alone at pH 3.93, 6.88, and 10. With increasing the concentration of t-BuOH from 10 to 200 mg/L, the degradation of DCAA was significantly inhibited in the process of catalytic ozonation, indicating that ZnO catalytic ozonation followed .OH reaction mechanism. Based on the experimental results and DFT analysis, it is deduced that the generation of .OH on the ZnO surface is ascribed to the adsorption of molecule ozone followed by the interaction of adsorbed ozone with active sites of the catalyst surface. It is also concluded that ZnO may be an e ective catalyst for DCAA removal, which could promote the formation of .OH derived from the catalytic decomposition of ozone.

二噁英结构与正辛醇-水分配系数相关性的密度泛函理论

为精确描述二噁英分子的电子结构及其定量结构/性质相关关系(QSPRs),运用密度泛函理论,在B3LYP/6-311G**水平上,分别对多氯二苯并对二噁英(PCDDs)和多氯二苯并呋喃(PCDFs)进行了优化计算.相应量子化学参数,即平均分子极化率(α),熵(S),极化率和四极矩的张量分量(αxx,αyy,αzz和Qxx,Qyy,Qzz)用于该类化合物辛醇-水分配系数的QSPR研究,构建了2个单变量和1个双变量模型,其决定系数R2分别为0.962、0.950和0.951;其显著性检验因子F分别为509.759、379.498和186.234.PCDD/Fs在辛醇相-水相间的分配性质主要与分子体积因素有关,而电性因素的影响较小;不同模型预测值间的差异与模型中预测变量本身性质和实验值的有限性有关.经比较,本研究中所建立的3个QSPRs模型尽管只有1个或2个变量,但其结果与复杂的偏最小二乘分析(PLS)相近.     

农家乐生态旅游发展与环境保护博弈分析

近年来农家乐旅游作为一种新兴的生态旅游在中国农村地区迅速发展,但是由于缺乏经验指导。目前也遇到了很多问题,其中环境问题尤为显著,如：垃圾废物随意排放、土地利用混乱带来的水土流失、农民只追求经济利益而引起的环境过度负荷等。本文以农家乐生态旅游的可持续发展为根本出发点,从农家乐旅游相关各方的利益关系出发,分别对参与农家乐生态旅游的农户之间、参与与不参与农家乐生态旅游的农户之间以及当地政府与参与农家乐旅游的农户之间进行了简单博弈分析,从而为农家乐旅游目的地的环境保护管理工作提出了一定的可行性观点。

文章在分析传统灰色GM（1,1）预测模型所存在的缺陷基础上提出采用指教平滑技术和灰色理论相结合的方法构建一新的ES—GM（1,1）预测模型。新的预测模型通过指数平滑技术和二次累加生成技术将原始的水质污染监测数据进行处理挖掘数据序列潜在的规律性,以2001年到2007年长江南京段水质主要污染监测数据作为实例和传统预测模型进行对比分析计算,结果证明新ES—GM（1,1）的预测模型精度大大提高。长江南京段水质污染预测计算结果表明如果不采取有效的污染预防和控制措施,到2012年COD蜊和BOD5年平均浓度值将分别上升到1．791mg/L和2043mg／L。     

环境风险评价的不确定性问题处理方法进展

环境风险分析是环境管理和决策的基础。由于环境数据相对比较模糊并且不够精确,用这类数据进行的相关分析和研究必定存在着偏差。从本质上说,风险分析的不确定性有两个原因,随机性和不完全性。目前解决不确定性的方法主要基于概率理论和模糊集理论。概率理论使用概率密度函数来描述环境参数中的随机变量。模糊集理论使用隶属函数和If——Then语句来表述环境问题的模糊性。目前相关研究主要集中于两种方法的结合。本文就各方法在不同环境介质风险评价中的应用进行了综述分析。     

生态城市建设的理论探讨

生态城市是联合国教科文组织发起的“人与生物圈（MAB）”计划研究过程中提出的一个概念,是城市生态化发展的结果;是社会和谐、经济高效、生态良性循环的人类居住形式,是自然、城市与人融合为一个有机整体所形成的互惠共生结构。生态城市既要能保证城市持续增长,更要保证城市发展的质量,既要满足城市发展对资源环境的需求,更要满足居民的基本需求,应做到环境清洁优美,生活健康舒适。生态城市应该是结构合理,功能高效和关系协调的城市生态系统。建设生态城市,必须进行观念创新。生态城市建设的研究对象要从以物和事为中心转向以人为中心,培育和贯彻“人和自然协调与和谐”的观念。

The multiple ways of behaving creatively in the workplace: A typology and model

Evidence in the literature suggests that employees can engage in other types of creative behavior at work beyond producing something new and useful for their organization. This paper seeks to advance our understanding of these “atypical” creative behaviors. We conceptualize a typology that encompasses both the commonly studied form of employee creativity (conventional steward‐type) and three other types of employee creativity that have not been previously theorized (critical steward‐type, cunning agent‐type, and innocent agent‐type). We then advance a conceptual model to identify situations that may lead employees to use their creative potential one way versus another. Further, we examine the different implications of these creative behaviors for the organization, employee, and society. Our conceptual framework provides a broader perspective of workplace creativity in which a wider range of behaviors, mechanisms, and outcomes must be considered. It provides new directions for future research as well as implications for managing creativity in different organizational and cultural contexts.     

A framework for resilience assessment in process systems using a fuzzy hybrid MCDM model

Resilience engineering (RE) has recently emerged as a novel safety management paradigm in socio-technical organizations. It is believed that RE is more compatible with the characteristics of complex socio-technical systems. The multicriteria nature and the presence of both qualitative and quantitative latent factors make RE substantially more complex especially in quantifying and modeling aspects. To address this issue, the present research aims to develop a fuzzy hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model for quantifying and evaluating resilience using the fuzzy Analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) and fuzzy VIKOR (F-VIKOR) techniques. Initially, an evaluation framework including six resilience indicators and 43 sub-indicators was established. Afterward, the F-AHP method was used to determine the weight of the resilience indicators, while the F-VIKOR method was employed to rank the resilience performance of the different operational units. To present the model capability, we evaluated the resilience of a gas refinery as a typical instance of socio-technical systems. The findings revealed the performance level of resilience indicators in all units of the studied refinery and their ranking based on the computation of the index value (Qi). With respect to the Qi values, the best and worst performance of units from the resilience perspective was specified. Results indicate that the proposed model can serve as an effective evaluation approach in complicated systems and can be used to effectively design strategies to improve system safety performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that evaluates the resilience using the VIKOR and AHP in a fuzzy environment in the process industry.
