Acceleration of floc-water separation and floc reduction with magnetic nanoparticles during demulsification of complex waste cutting emulsions

Waste cutting emulsions are difficult to treat efficiently owing to their complex composition and stable emulsified structure. As an important treatment method for emulsions, chemical demulsification is faced with challenges such as low flocs–water separation rates and high sludge production. Hence, in this study, Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were used to enhance chemical demulsification performance for treating waste cutting emulsions under a magnetic field. The addition of MNPs significantly decreased the time required to attain sludge–water separation and sludge compression equilibrium, from 210 to 20 min. In addition, the volume percentage of sludge produced at the equilibrium state was reduced from 45% to 10%. This excellent flocculation–separation performance was stable over a pH range of 3–11. The magnetization of the flocculants and oil droplets to form a flocculant–MNP–oil droplet composite, and the magnetic transfer of the composite were two key processes that enhanced the separation of cutting emulsions. Specifically, the interactions among MNPs, flocculants, and oil droplets were important in the magnetization process, which was controlled by the structures and properties of the three components. Under the magnetic field, the magnetized flocculant–MNP–oil droplet composites were considerably accelerated and separated from water, and the sludge was simultaneously compressed. Thus, this study expands the applicability of magnetic separation techniques in the treatment of complex waste cutting emulsions.     

基于地形位置指数的赤水河流域植被时空变化研究

地形因子和植被覆盖是区域灾害评价的关键指标,也是山区型村镇建设生态安全评估的重要内容.为探析山区型村镇建设的生态约束条件,以赤水河流域为研究对象,基于1998—2018年SPOT_VGT NDVI数据,利用地形位置指数（Topographic Position Index,TPI）和坡度位置指数方法,研究了赤水河流域植被生长季NDVI时空变化及地形分异特征.结果表明:①赤水河流域内,1998—2018年植被生长季平均NDVI呈缓慢上升趋势,斜率为0.004 7;NDVI>0.60的集中连片区域主要分布在古蔺县北部、赤水市大部和习水县西北部,占赤水河流域总面积的8.42%;Sen's slope在0.009~0.015区间时,赤水河流域植被生长增强趋势最明显,主要集中分布在赤水河中上游、二道河以及下游的大同河干流地区.②TPI在-39.4~34.3区间的面积最多,为6 221.63 km2,占赤水河流域总面积的34.05%;将赤水河流域坡度类型划分为山脊、上坡、中坡、平坡、下坡、山谷6个坡度位置类型,其中,中坡面积（7 792.02 km2）最大,占流域总面积的42.64%,表明TPI数值较小且坡度大于5°的区域是赤水河流域地形主体.③赤水河流域植被在山脊的平均NDVI最高,为0.747,且山脊平均Sen's slope最高,为0.007 2;山谷平均NDVI最低,为0.709.研究显示,赤水河流域植被分布在118.5~486.9的TPI区间或分布在山脊处时整体生长较好,且生长增强趋势最明显.

多介质环境目标值的应用

本文概述了多介质目标德的SAM/Ⅰ的方法。多介质目标值包括环境目标值和排放目标值。点源分析包括SAM/ⅠA,SAM/ⅠB,SAM/Ⅰ,SAM/Ⅱ。在缺少环境质量标准的情况下,使用多介质环境目标值有较强的适用性,且具有省时、省力、经济等特点。本文将多介质目标值的SAM/ⅠA点源分析方法引入聚氯乙烯生产废水的环境评价中,取得较为满意的结果。     

一次区域性强沙尘暴天气过程成因分析

本文以实况资料为基础，对2005年中发生在我国内蒙古的一次强沙尘暴天气过程进行风场和温度场等的诊断分析，结果显示：（1）本次沙尘暴天气过程属于西北路径强冷空气入侵造成的。有利的气候背景是本次沙尘暴发生的基础。（2）大气斜压性强，动量下传作用是沙尘暴的天气诱因。200hPa高空急流的加强，850hPa强锋区和冷槽发生发展是沙尘暴的主要原因。在此基础上，得出沙尘暴的预报着眼点。
