陕北不同沟道土地盐碱化现状及影响因素

沟道土地是陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区重要的土地资源。然而,当前对黄土高原沟道土地的盐碱化问题关注不够,对盐碱化的现状、发生机制和防治措施也缺乏深入系统的认识,知识储备不能满足生产实际的需要。本文以陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区自然和人为形成的沟道土地为研究对象,分别是延安顾屯新造耕地(治沟造地)、延川马家湾淤地坝土地和子洲黄土洼天然古聚湫土地,在这些流域内沿沟道采集土壤样品,测定土壤的电导率(EC)、p H值、含水量及粒度,分析土壤盐碱化的现状和影响因子。结果表明:马家湾淤地坝土地盐碱化最为严重,流域中游至上游均出现不同程度的盐碱化;顾屯新造地上游出现盐碱化,盐碱化程度较马家湾轻,而黄土洼古聚湫全流域未出现盐碱化。地下水位较浅是沟道土地发生盐碱化的主要影响因素,因此陕北沟道土地盐碱化防治应着力控制地下水位,建设良好的排水系统,加强排水。     

Influence of environmental factors on arsenic accumulation and biotransformation using the aquatic plant species Hydrilla verticillata

Hydrilla verticillata(waterthyme) has been successfully used for phytoremediation in arsenic(As) contaminated water.To evaluate the effects of environmental factors on phytoremediation,this study conducted a series of orthogonal design experiments to determine optimal conditions,including phosphorus(P),nitrogen(N),and arsenate(As(Ⅴ))concentrations and initial pH levels,for As accumulation and biotransformation using this aquatic plant species,while also analyzing As species transformation in culture media after 96-hr exposure.Analysis of variance and the signal-to-noise ratio were used to identify both the effects of these environmental factors and their optimal conditions for this purpose.Results indicated that both N and P significantly impacted accumulation,and N was essential in As species transformation.High N and intermediate P levels were critical to As accumulation and biotransformation by H.verticillata,while high N and low P levels were beneficial to As species transformation in culture media.The highest total arsenic accumulation was(197.2±17.4) μg/g dry weight when As(V) was at level 3(375μg/L),N at level 2(4 mg/L),P at level 1(0.02 mg/L),and pH at level 2(7).Although H.verticillata is highly efficient in removing As(Ⅴ) from aquatic environments,its use could be potentially harmful to both humans and the natural environment due to its release of highly toxic arsenite.For cost-effective and ecofriendly phytoremediation of As-contaminated water,both N and P are helpful in regulating As accumulation and transformation in plants.     

Density functional theory (DFT) studies of vanadium-titanium based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts

Based on density functional theory (DFT) and basic structure models, the chemical reactions on the surface of vanadium-titanium based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification catalysts were summarized. Reasonable structural models (non-periodic and periodic structural models) are the basis of density functional calculations. A periodic structure model was more appropriate to represent the catalyst surface, and its theoretical calculation results were more comparable with the experimental results than a non-periodic model. It is generally believed that the SCR mechanism where NH₃ and NO react to produce N₂ and H₂O follows an Eley-Rideal type mechanism. NH₂NO was found to be an important intermediate in the SCR reaction, with multiple production routes. Simultaneously, the effects of H₂O, SO₂ and metal on SCR catalysts were also summarized.     

Chemical characteristics of road dust PM2.5 fraction in oasis cities at the margin of Tarim Basin

In order to understand the compositions characteristics of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) fraction in road dust (RD_2.5) of oasis cities on the edge of Tarim Basin, 30 road dust (RD) samples were collected in Kashi, Cele, and Yutian in the spring, 2018, and RD_2.5 was collected using the resuspension approach. Eight water-soluble ions, 39 trace elements and 8 fractions of carbon-containing species in PM_2.5 were analyzed. Ca²⁺ and Ca were the most abundant ions and elements in RD_2.5 (7.1% and 9.5%). Cl^- in RD_2.5 was affected not only by attributed to saline-alkali soils in oasis cities of the Tarim Basin and dust from Taklimakan Desert but also by human activities. Moreover, the organic carbon/elemental carbon (OC/EC) ratio indicated that carbon components in RD_2.5 in Cele town mainly come from fossil fuel combustion, while those in Yutian and Kashi mainly come from biomass combustion. It is noteworthy that high Ca in RD_2.5 was seriously affected by anthropogenic emissions, and high Na and K contents in RD_2.5 could be derived from soil and desert dust. It was estimated that Cd, Tl, Sn and Cr were emitted from anthropogenic emissions using the enrichment factor. The coefficients of divergence (COD) result indicated that the influence of local emission on road dust emission is greater than that of long-distance transmission. This study is the first time to comprehensively analyze the chemical characteristics of road dust in oasis cities, and the results provides the sources of road dust at the margin of Tarim Basin.

亚铁添加条件下潜流湿地中氮和化学需氧量的去除效应

为了强化水平潜流人工湿地脱氮和去除化学需氧量的效果,文章利用模拟实验开展了不同浓度的亚铁(Fe~(2+))添加对其去除效果的影响研究,并初步探讨了其作用机理。研究结果表明,添加Fe~(2+)影响了水平潜流人工湿地脱氮和去除化学需氧量的能力,而且各形态的氮素和化学需氧量的去除率随水力停留时间的延长而增大。添加高浓度Fe~(2+)(≥50 mg/L)促进了湿地系统总氮和硝态氮的去除,其去除率分别超过67.7%和72.6%;而对铵态氮去除效果的影响不明显;添加低浓度Fe~(2+)(≤10 mg/L)限制了硝态氮和铵态氮的去除,而对总氮的去除效果的影响较弱。添加高浓度Fe~(2+)(≥50 mg/L)显著促进水平潜流人工湿地化学需氧量的去除,水力停留时间为24 h,其去除率均高于91%,而添加低浓度Fe~(2+)(≤10 mg/L)对促进化学需氧量的去除效果不明显,但其去除率略高于对照组,表明添加Fe~(2+)可以提高水中易降解有机物的去除能力。Fe~(2+)进入湿地系统后,水中可溶性总铁、Fe~(2+)和Fe3+浓度迅速下降,5 h后基本保持平稳,其中可溶性总铁浓度低于3.2 mg/L。添加Fe~(2+)明显降低了人工湿地出水的pH和氧化还原电位,并发生了显著变化。因此,添加适宜浓度Fe~(2+)(50 mg/L)可促进水平潜流湿地对氮素和化学需氧量的去除,可以为人工湿地强化技术研发提供理论依据。
