Stability analysis of alkaline nitrobenzene-containing wastewater by a catalyzed Fe-Cu treatment process

Iron and copper bimetallic system (catalyzed Fe-Cu process) is a promising technology for alkaline nitrobenzene-containing wastewater treatment. However, little is currently known about the changes of treatment efficiency with time going. This research investigated the long-term performance of the catalyzed Fe-Cu process to reduce nitrobenzene (NB) in alkaline wastewater. In addition, the changes of the metal surfaces morphologies and matters before and after the reaction were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy-dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The results showed that the surface properties of copper almost remained unchanged after weeks of operation, which spelled its strong chemical stability and resistance to poisoning. Moreover, the results indicated that there were two reasons for the treatment efficiency decreasing with time. One was the gradual iron element consumption due to corrosion. The other was iron reactivity weakened due to the precipitates accumulation on the surfaces that were mainly Fe₃O₄ and FeCO. __________ Translated from Environmental Pollution & Control, 2006, 28(10): 783–785 [译自: 环境污染与防治]

Influence of Al-oxide on pesticide sorption to woody biochars with different surface areas

Biochars’ properties will change after application in soil due to the interactions with soil constituents, which would then impact the performance of biochars as soil amendment. For a better understanding on these interactions, two woody biochars of different surface areas (SA) were physically treated with aluminum oxide (Al-oxide) to investigate its potential influence on biochars’ sorption property. Both the micropore area and mesopore (17～500 Å in diameter) area of the low-SA biochar were enhanced by at least 1.5 times after treatment with Al-oxide, whereas the same treatment did not change the surface characteristics of the high-SA biochar due partly to its well-developed porosity. The enhanced sorption of the pesticide isoproturon to the Al-oxide-treated low-SA biochar was observed and is positively related to the increased mesopore area. The desorption hysteresis of pesticide from the low-SA biochar was strengthened because of more pesticide molecules entrapped in the expanded pores by Al-oxide. However, no obvious change of pesticide sorption to the high-SA biochar after Al-oxide treatment was observed, corresponding to its unchanged porosity. The results suggest that the influence of Al-oxide on the biochars’ sorption property is dependent on their porosity. This study will provide valuable information on the use of biochars for reducing the bioavailability of pesticides.     

电-生物耦合技术对偶氮染料的去除研究

酸性大红GR是一种较难生物降解的偶氮染料,采用一种电场和生物耦合的新型技术处理酸性大红GR模拟废水,并与单纯电化学法和好氧生物法进行试验对照。结果表明：反应6 h后,电化学法、好氧生物法、电-生物耦合技术对酸性大红GR的去除率分别达到15.7%、25.8%和71.2%,电-生物耦合技术能明显提高酸性大红GR的去除效果,起到强化生物处理的作用。在15 mA微电流条件下电-生物技术能克服50 mg/L酸性大红GR对好氧生物处理的抑制作用,为高浓度难降解染料废水的生物强化处理提供了可能。     

劳动力外出务工对承灾体恢复力的影响——以河北省邢台县旱灾调查为例

农村劳动力资源是构成农户承灾体恢复力的重要因素.一般认为农村劳动力外出务工,可以提高农户家庭的经济水平,进而提升农户的旱灾恢复力.通过对河北省邢台县的实地调查研究发现,劳动力外出务工与农户承灾体恢复力间存在着微妙的关系.研究表明,户主外出务工模式不仅在农业生产的灾后恢复上,而且在农户家庭经济的恢复上均有积极的意义.对于子女外出务工家庭而言,子女不愿意再从事农业生产,并且子女的务工收入对家庭的贡献十分有限,即子女外出务工对家庭旱灾恢复力影响较小.     

New Development in Study of the Faustmann Optimal Forest Harvesting

Chinese forest resources have become very scarce in the face of rapid economic growth demand, while the reform of collective forest right system is in full swing across the country. It will directly affect the regeneration level of forest resources and the diverse ecological value functions. In this article, the mainstream model paradigm of forest economics, that is, the basic framework of the Faustmann model and its evolution process are made in a more detailed explanation, especially the extended model in...

山西省城市地区近年来环境空气臭氧污染特征及来源解析

基于山西省2018—2020年国控点位O₃监测数据分析了全省O₃污染特征,分别以晋城市和太原市为典型城市,分析了温度、相对湿度和风向风速等气象因子以及前体物(NO_x和VOCs)对O₃的影响,并采用CAMx模式开展2020年6—8月山西省O₃区域和行业来源解析. 结果表明:① 山西省O₃超标天数中以O₃轻度污染为主,且中度及以上污染呈增加趋势,O₃污染集中出现在5—9月,且呈现较强的地域性特征,O₃浓度日变化呈单峰型特征. ② ρ(O_{3-1 h})(臭氧1 h平均浓度)与气温、风速均呈正相关,与相对湿度呈负相关,高温、低湿有利于O₃的生成. 风速与ρ(O_{3-1 h})呈分段式线性关系,ρ(O_{3-1 h})随着风速增大而升高,当风速大于某一阈值时,ρ(O_{3-1 h})随风速的增加而下降. 以典型城市晋城市为例,当温度在25 ℃以上、相对湿度在30%~60%之间、风速为4~5 m/s,且风向为南风和东南风时更容易出现ρ(O_{3-1 h})高值. ③ 山西省2020年6—8月O₃区域来源解析表明,各城市O₃本地源贡献较弱而传输贡献影响显著(>80%). ④ 山西省2020年6—8月O₃行业来源解析表明,各市工业源类(电力源、焦化源和其他工业源)的贡献率在50%左右,柴油交通源贡献率在20%~27%之间. 研究显示,山西省O₃污染传输贡献影响显著,联防联控势在必行,电力源、焦化源和柴油交通源对O₃生成贡献较大,亟需优先加强管控.      

我国大气污染源排放清单发展历程和对策建议

为进一步推动我国大气污染源排放清单的发展,详细回顾了我国大气污染源排放清单的发展历程及面临的挑战.我国大气污染源排放清单起步于20世纪80年代,2000年之后尤其是2014年,原环境保护部发布了一系列大气污染源排放清单编制技术指南,使我国大气污染源排放清单工作得到了迅速发展.30多年来基本形成了结合我国实际情况的大气污染源分类、大气污染物排放系数、大气污染物排放量确定方法等大气污染源排放清单相关技术方法.但目前我国尚未建立起排放清单编制的规范化工作程序,国家、省级和城市级环保部门在大气污染源排放清单工作中的分工尚不明晰,清单编制没有融入日常环境管理工作中,现有排放清单工作和研究成果相对分散、缺乏系统性,排放清单对环境管理的支撑作用尚未得到充分发挥.在综合分析了我国大气污染源排放清单取得的进展和面临挑战的基础上,提出如下建议:进一步完善我国大气污染源排放清单技术体系,使排放清单工作制度化、程序化、规范化,明确国家、省级和城市级环保部门在大气污染源排放清单工作中发挥的作用,使大气污染源排放清单成为各级环保部门每年必须完成的工作;进一步推广结合网格化管理、基于区县和乡镇调研的城市大气污染源排放清单编制技术;加强排放清单校核和不确定性分析研究等.      

Effect of silica sand on activation energy for diffusion of sodium ions in montmorillonite and silica sand mixture

The effect of silica sand on the diffusion of sodium ions in mixtures of montmorillonite and silica sand was studied by measuring the apparent diffusion coefficients, activation energies for diffusion, and the basal spacing of the mixed samples. These diffusion experiments suggest that the apparent diffusion coefficients of sodium ions in the mixed samples were almost the same as those of pure montmorillonite samples having the same partial dry densities of montmorillonite. The activation energy dependence for diffusion of sodium ions on the partial dry density was different between the mixed samples and the pure montmorillonite samples. The activation energy increased by adding silica sand at the partial dry density of 1.0 Mg m(-3), and decreased by adding silica sand at the partial dry densities higher than 1.2 Mg m(-3). A change in the XRD profile was observed after adding silica sand at the partial dry density of 1.6 Mg m(-3). Here, a three-water-layer hydrate state of montmorillonite was found in the mixed sample whereas only a two-water-layer hydrate state was observed in the pure montmorillonite sample. These experimental results suggest that silica sand changed the montmorillonite microstructure in the mixed samples, which then altered the sodium-ion diffusion process.
