城市垃圾问题及处理对策

中国的城市垃圾问题已经成为比较严重的环境问题之一,目前的垃圾处理存在很多问题.以全过程控制思想为基础,在可持续发展和"三化"原则的指导下,运用环境管理的经济、法律、行政等方法,提出解决城市垃圾问题的城市垃圾管理对策和技术对策,提出了城市生活垃圾多元化综合处理的设想,以求建立适合中国国情的城市垃圾管理体系和垃圾产业化体系.     

基于RuO2-IrO2/Ti和Fe0电极的电氧化-电絮凝处理含Tl废水

基于RuO₂-IrO₂/Ti形稳电极和Fe⁰牺牲电极实现电氧化-电絮凝(EO-EC)一体化处理含Tl (I)废水,并与单一的电絮凝(EC)进行比较,探讨了EO-EC处理含Tl废水的机理.结果表明,相较于单一EC,EO-EC (1:1)组合技术适应于宽pH (4-10)以及电流密度范围(5-20mA/cm²)下含Tl废水高效处理,且不易发生钝化;活性氯以及氧化还原电位在Tl (I)间接氧化Tl (III)过程中扮演重要角色,沉淀分析表明生成的Tl (OH)_3(s)与絮体Fe (OH)_3(am)共沉淀,纤铁矿位点可吸附残留Tl (I).EO-EC一体化技术可满足实际含Tl废水达标处理(<2µg/L)且具有经济可行性.     

Photoacoustic in-vivo spectra of recent stromatolites

In-vivo photoacoustic spectra (PAS) of pure cultures of cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria (Chromatiaceae) which usually occur in stromatolitic microbial mats were measured. The PA spectra of the pure cultures were compared to PA spectra measured directly on different layers of microbial mats from Mellum (North Sea). The advantages of PAS of opaque, solid samples (e.g., sediment, rock), and of particle suspensions (e.g., light-scattering cell cultures with interference by sulfur globules) over conventional spectroscopy using classical in-vivo or extraction photometry are discussed.
