Multi-scale spatial structure of heavy metals in agricultural soils in Beijing

To effectively investigate the spatial variability of heavy metals in soil, produce a higher quality spatial distribution map, and identify the potential pollution sources of heavy metals, geostatistics was employed to evaluate the effect of scale on spatial variability of heavy metals in Beijing agricultural soils. The results revealed that spatial variability of Cr, Ni, Zn, and Hg was dependent on scale. Validation of the optimality of theoretical semivariance and comparative analysis of the estimation accuracy demonstrated that the multi-scale nested model can reveal the spatial structure of heavy metals effectively and improve the estimation accuracy better than the single-scale method, thereby enabling production a higher quality spatial interpolation map. Thus, the multi-scale kriging nested model is a useful tool for revealing spatial variability of heavy metals in soils, while the spatial distribution maps allow the identification of hot spots with high concentrations of heavy metals.     

Pollutant emissions,energy consumption and economic development in China:Evidence from dynamic panel data

This study investigates the relationship among pollutant emissions,energy consumption and economic development in China during the period 1982-2007 by using a one-step GMM-system model under a multivariable panel VAR framework,controlling for capital stock and labor force.Regarding the data for all 28 provinces as a whole,we find that there is a unidirectional positive relationship running from pollutant emission to economic development and a unidirectional negative relationship between pollutant emission and energy consumption.Based on traditional economic planning,the panel data of28 provinces are divided into two cross-province groups.It is discovered that in the eastern coastal region of China,there is only a unidirectional positive causal relationship leading from economic development to pollutant emission;while in the central and western regions,there are the unidirectional Granger causal relationships between pollutant emission and energy consumption,as well as between pollutant emission and economic development.There is also a unique unidirectional causal relationship running from economic development to energy consumption,which does not appear in the eastem coastal region or in China as a whole.

2015—2017年天水市大气污染物变化特征及来源分析

据天水市2015-2017年大气污染物（SO₂、NO₂、CO、O₃、PM_2.5和PM₁₀）的监测数据及气象资料,分析了天水市大气污染物的浓度变化特征,并利用排放源清单和HYSPLIT模型对污染物来源进行了解析.结果表明：①天水市空气质量有所下降,总体优良率达84.9%.SO₂、NO₂、CO均达标,污染物以颗粒物和O₃为主.②一次污染物SO₂、NO₂、CO、PM_2.5和PM₁₀浓度具有相似的季节变化和日变化特征,冬季最高,夏季最低,日变化呈早晚双峰型.二次污染物O₃夏季浓度最高,冬季最低,日变化呈单峰型.③天水市空气质量主要受污染物的本地排放和外来输送的影响,本地民用和工业部门对SO₂、CO、PM_2.5和PM₁₀的贡献最大,交通和工业部门对NO_x的分担率最高,民用部门是CO的最大排放源;西北和东部气流是污染物外来的最主要输送路径.此外,污染物在城市大气中的稀释、扩散和转移也受当地气象因素（气温、降水、风向等）的影响.     

红霉素生产废水中微生物群落结构分析

采用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳技术（PCR—DGGE）研究了序批式活性污泥法（SBR）处理红霉素生产废水过程中从厌氧处理阶段到好氧处理阶段的微生物群落结构变化,并对微生物群落的部分优势细菌进行了克隆测序和系统发育树分析。结果表明,微生物群落丰富度随SBR处理进程呈递增趋势;微生物群落的相似性在相邻的处理阶段间相对较高,相隔越远的处理阶段间则越低;6种优势菌的同源性均在95％以上,其中有4种细菌均为厌氧和好氧处理阶段的优势菌,有1种细菌仅为好氧处理阶段的优势菌。     

A critical review on thermodynamic mechanisms of membrane fouling in membrane-based water treatment process

● Fundamentals of membrane fouling are comprehensively reviewed. ● Contribution of thermodynamics on revealing membrane fouling mechanism is summarized. ● Quantitative approaches toward thermodynamic fouling mechanisms are deeply analyzed. ● Inspirations of thermodynamics for membrane fouling mitigation are briefly discussed. ● Research prospects on thermodynamics and membrane fouling are forecasted. Membrane technology is widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for wastewater treatment and reclamation in the 21st century. However, membrane fouling significantly limits its applicability and productivity. In recent decades, research on the membrane fouling has been one of the hottest spots in the field of membrane technology. In particular, recent advances in thermodynamics have substantially widened people’s perspectives on the intrinsic mechanisms of membrane fouling. Formulation of fouling mitigation strategies and fabrication of anti-fouling membranes have both benefited substantially from those studies. In the present review, a summary of the recent results on the thermodynamic mechanisms associated with the critical adhesion and filtration processes during membrane fouling is provided. Firstly, the importance of thermodynamics in membrane fouling is comprehensively assessed. Secondly, the quantitative methods and general factors involved in thermodynamic fouling mechanisms are critically reviewed. Based on the aforementioned information, a brief discussion is presented on the potential applications of thermodynamic fouling mechanisms for membrane fouling control. Finally, prospects for further research on thermodynamic mechanisms underlying membrane fouling are presented. Overall, the present review offers comprehensive and in-depth information on the thermodynamic mechanisms associated with complex fouling behaviors, which will further facilitate research and development in membrane technology.
