Will polycentric cities cause more CO2 emissions? A case study of 232 Chinese cities

From 2000 to 2010 China experienced rapid economic development and urbanization. Many cities in economically developed areas have developed from a single-center status to polycentricity. In this study, we used exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) to identify the population centers, which identified 232 cities in China as having urban centers. COMP was used to represent urban agglomeration, and POLYD (representing how far is the city's sub-centers to the main center), POLYC (representing the number of a city's centers), and POLYP (representing the population distributed between the main center and the sub-centers) were used to indicate urban polycentricity. Night light data were used to determine the CO₂ emissions from various cities in China. A mixed model was used to study the impact of urban aggregation and polycentric data on the CO₂ emission efficiency in 2000 and 2010. The study found that cities with higher compactness were distributed in coastal areas, and the cities with higher multicentricity were distributed in the Yangtze River Delta and Shandong Province. The more compact the city was, the less conducive it was to improving CO₂ emission efficiency. Polycentric development of the city was conducive to improving the CO₂ emission efficiency, but the number of urban centers had no significant relationship with the CO₂ emission efficiency. Our research showed that the compactness and multicentricity of the city had an impact on the CO₂ emission efficiency and provided some planning suggestions for the low carbon development of the city.     

Dynamic fate modeling of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane in the lower reaches of the Liao River

A QWASI model dependent on temperature is parameterized to describe the long-term fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Liao River. The model parameters, namely fugacity capacity, degradation rate, and transfer coefficient, are profoundly affected by temperature. This model is used to simulate the fate of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) in the lower reaches of the Liao River from 1998 to 2008. Modeling results show that γ-HCH fugacity capacities in air, water, and sediment increase as temperature decreases, and the transfer and transformation rate coefficients increase as temperature increases. The variations of transfer and transformation parameter D values depend on fugacity capacities, and transfer and transformation coefficients simultaneously. The performance of the model is evaluated by comparing the predicted and observed concentrations in the water and sediment of the Liao River. The predicted values agree well with the observed value in the order of magnitude, in most cases within the factor of 3. It is believed that the model is appropriate for simulating the long term fate of POPs in the Liao River. Translated from Environmental Science, 2006, 27(1): 121–125 [译自: 环境科学]     

煤热解过程中无机有害元素的变迁规律

在自行设计的加压密闭快速热解反应器中研究了神华和义马煤中Na、K、Pb和Mn等无机有害元素在氮气条件下随温度（300℃-700℃)的变化规律,进一步考察了热解气氛（氮气、氢气和二氧化碳）、压力对神华煤中这4种元素逸出规律的影响。结果表明：Na、K、Pb和Mn等元素在半焦中的残留量随温度的升高而减少,减少量随煤种而异,如在700℃时,神华煤中Na、K、Pb和Mn的析出率分别是义马煤的3、4．2、1．4和2．4倍;低压快速加氢热解有利于这4种元素的逸出。Pb是挥发性最强的元素,与热力学计算结果一致。

为了解农村生活污水处理技术在应用过程中的效果.以重庆地区为例,对重庆市63个村庄的生活污水处理设施进行了调查.根据出水水质和建设成本,对村庄常用的污水处理技术进行经济技术综合比较分析.结果表明,无动力人工湿地较为经济,应用效果并不理想,在经济条件比较薄弱的地区可作为过渡型处理技术加以应用;渠道式生态沟投资较昂贵,不推荐使用;一体化设备投资昂贵,运行管理简单,在经济条件较好的地区可以考虑使用.     

基于本地污染源调查的杭州市大气污染物排放清单研究

基于实地调查数据并辅以统计数据,采用物料衡算法和排放因子法,估算了杭州市2015年大气污染物排放清单,并选取经纬度坐标、路网、航道、土地类型和人口等数据作为权重因子,研究了该地区各类排放源污染物排放空间分布特征.结果表明,杭州市2015年SO_2、NO_x、CO、VOCs、PM_(10)、PM_(2.5)和NH_3年排放总量分别为22.20×10~3、108.17×10~3、192.10×10~3、134.94×10~3、78.12×10~3、27.65×10~3和59.75×10~3t.工业源是杭州市SO_2排放的主要来源,移动源对NO_x和CO的排放贡献最为显著,扬尘源是杭州市PM_(10)和PM_(2.5)排放的最主要来源,其次为工业源;VOCs排放的主要来源依次为工业源、天然源和移动源;NH_3排放主要来自农业源.从空间分布来看,排放主要集中在中心城区及其周边的萧山、下沙、大江东、余杭和富阳等工业企业相对密集的区域.本研究建立的排放清单在污染源覆盖范围和排放因子方面仍然存在一定的不确定性,建议在后续研究中重点开展低、小、散企业及本地化排放因子调查研究工作,进一步提升大气污染物排放清单的准确度.     

CaO2及H2O2类Fenton降解土壤石油烃污染

采用H_2O_2/Fe(Ⅲ)/柠檬酸类Fenton体系和CaO_2/Fe(Ⅲ)/柠檬酸类Fenton体系修复土壤石油污染,考察了氧化剂种类、氧化剂投加量、 Fe(Ⅲ)浓度和柠檬酸浓度对柴油降解效果的影响,并进一步研究比较了CaO_2/Fe(Ⅲ)/柠檬酸和H_2O_2/Fe(Ⅲ)/柠檬酸2种修复方式对土壤原著微生物群落变化及豌豆植株生长所带来的生态毒性效应。单因素实验结果表明:在其他条件相同的情况下,CaO_2类Fenton降解柴油效果优于H_2O_2类Fenton降解效果;柴油降解率随着氧化剂投加量、Fe(Ⅲ)和柠檬酸浓度的增大呈现先增后降的趋势。当CaO_2浓度为166.67 mmol·L~(-1)、Fe(Ⅲ)浓度为27.78 mmol·L~(-1)、柠檬酸浓度为27.78 mmol·L~(-1)时,反应24 h后,土壤中柴油降解率达到44.14%。生态毒性实验表明:CaO_2类Fenton处理后土壤微生物群落的丰富度和多样性指数均有所提高,H_2O_2类Fenton处理后均有所降低,2种处理方式均在不同程度上改变了土壤微生物群落的优势菌门构成;CaO_2及H_2O_2类Fenton处理均抑制了豌豆植株的生长,发芽率、植株干重、株高、叶绿素含量等测试指标均下降,其中H_2O_2类Fenton处理的抑制效果更为明显。进一步分析可知,CaO_2类Fenton处理技术比H_2O_2类Fenton处理技术更适用于石油污染土壤修复。
