固定化微生物对渗滤液DTRO出水中氨氮降解的研究

采用固定化微生物技术处理渗滤液DTRO出水中氨氮,考察不同HRT、DO以及温度对反应体系脱氮的影响。结果表明:反应器驯化周期短,能够有效地去除反应体系中的氨氮和COD,其去除率分别为98.68%、78.19%。驯化后期,反应体系中出现轮虫、累枝虫、寡毛类动物。不同水力停留时间(HRT)、溶解氧(DO)、温度影响固定化微生物脱氮效果,通过试验得出最佳工艺条件为:HRT为5 d,ρ(DO)为4.0 mg/L,温度为25~30℃。在最佳工艺条件下,出水ρ(NH_4~+-N)为13.01~19.96 mg/L,ρ(COD)为6.78~12.07 mg/L,达GB 16889—2008《垃圾填埋场污染控制标准》。     

污灌前后土壤理化性质变异规律的研究

以人工模拟湿地作为研究对象,利用氯苯、对氯甲苯2种废水对其进行污灌,经过一定的时间后对湿地土壤的理化性质进行研究并加以对比,总结出污灌后土壤理化性质的变异规律.研究表明:经过一段时间的污水处理,污水中的某些成分可能会影响一部分的土壤颗粒的结合状态,但并未改变土壤质地的类别;实验用来污灌的污水中不合有一般综合性污水中所含有的钠盐、镁盐等,同时又存在着土壤的淋溶作用,使得污灌前后土壤中的水溶性盐的含量是减少的;污水处理前后土壤的pH值是先减小再增大的,但均属于弱碱性;土壤含水率的变化正好与pH值的变化特征相反,呈现出先增大再减小的趋势.只是2组平行实验的增大或减小的幅度不一致.     

宇宙成因核素10Be的地球化学行为及其在黄土示踪研究中的应用

¹⁰Be是一种典型的长寿命宇宙成因核素,对其在自然界中的分布规律、迁移形式和赋存状态等地球化学行为特征的研究,是利用沉积物¹⁰Be记录进行定年和环境示踪研究的理论基础。其中明确¹⁰Be在不同沉积物中的赋存状态是研究¹⁰Be保存性的基础,而¹⁰Be在固相和液相介质中的分配系数Kd则主要反映了¹⁰Be在固相和液相中的迁移能力,对研究自然界不同沉积物中¹⁰Be的迁移性至关重要,直接影响到沉积物中¹⁰Be环境示踪研究的有效性。本文尝试总结了大气成因¹⁰Be在海洋、河流沉积物和土壤中的赋存状态,分析了¹⁰Be分配系数Kd的分布范围及其主要控制因素。在此基础上以土壤中¹⁰Be的分布特征、迁移规律及影响因素研究为参考实例,对比分析了目前已有对黄土-古土壤序列中¹⁰Be地球化学行为研究取得的主要成果,建议未来应从地球化学机制方面进一步加强对黄土地层序列¹⁰Be分布特征、浓度变化规律及可能影响因素的综合研究,为黄土¹⁰Be示踪研究提供更全面的理论依据。     

胞外聚合物磷酸盐形态对生物除磷过程的影响研究

以不同DO条件下污泥龄(SRT)分别为10 d和30 d的两组实验室A/O-SBR反应器活性污泥为研究对象,探讨了胞外聚合物(EPS)磷酸盐形态对生物除磷过程的影响.结果表明,污泥絮体中的磷主要分布于EPS中,PO3-4-P和聚磷酸盐(Poly-P,包括低分子量聚磷酸盐LMW PolyP和高分子量聚磷酸盐HMW Poly-P)是EPS磷的主要形态;EPS对生物除磷的影响明显大于细菌细胞,EPS磷的厌氧降低量和好氧升高量为胞内磷变化量的2.8~6.4倍.EPS中的LMW Poly-P和HMW Poly-P含量均表现厌氧降低和好氧升高的变化规律;对于相同SRT的污泥,中DO(2.5~3.5 mg·L-1)条件较低DO(0.7~1.0 mg·L-1)条件下EPS的LMW Poly-P和HMW Poly-P有更大的厌氧降低量和好氧升高量,对应着更明显的生物除磷过程,说明EPS不仅是生物除磷过程的中转站,而且参与了生物聚磷过程.

Assessing the implications of a 1.5 °C temperature limit for the Jamaican agriculture sector

Despite recent calls to limit future increases in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C, little is known about how different climatic thresholds will impact human society. Future warming trends have significant global food security implications, particularly for small island developing states (SIDS) that are recognized as being among the most vulnerable to global climate change. In the case of the Caribbean, any significant change in the region’s climate is likely to have significant adverse effects on the agriculture sector. This paper explores the potential biophysical impacts of a +?1.5 °C warming scenario on several economically important crops grown in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. Also, it explores differences to a >?2.0 °C warming scenario, which is more likely, if the current policy agreements cannot be complied with by the international community. We use the ECOCROP niche model to estimate how predicted changes in future climate could affect the growing conditions of several commonly cultivated crops from both future scenarios. We then discuss some key policy considerations for Jamaica’s agriculture sector, specifically related to the challenges posed to future adaptation pathways amidst growing climate uncertainty and complexity. Our model results show that even an increase less than +?1.5 °C is expected to have an overall negative impact on crop suitability and a general reduction in the range of crops available to Jamaican farmers. This observation is instructive as increases above the +?1.5 °C threshold would likely lead to even more irreversible and potentially catastrophic changes to the sustainability of Jamaica’s agriculture sector. The paper concludes by outlining some key considerations for future action, paying keen attention to the policy relevance of a +?1.5 °C temperature limit. Given little room for optimism with respect to the imminent changes that SIDS will need to confront in the near future, broad-based policy engagement by stakeholders in these geographies is paramount, irrespective of the climate warming scenario.     

The evolution of the Canadian mining industry: The role of regulatory punctuation

In this study, we analyze the evolution of Canada's mining industry from 1929 to 2006, focussing on the determinants of the number of firms in the industry and why this number changed over that period. Most empirical studies of industry evolution have focused on manufacturing industries that share similar structural characteristics. Perhaps because of this, extant models of industry evolution tend to ignore industry-specific and national-specific factors that can cause atypical trajectories, that is, heterogeneous industry evolution. Initial inspection of the Canadian mining industry shows that it is atypical in that it exhibits “negative skew” over time in the number of firms rather than the typical “positive skew.” We review two dominant theoretical approaches to industry evolution: the density-dependence theory and variants of industrial organization economics. We also consider possible sources of industry evolution heterogeneity, focussing particularly on “regulatory punctuation”. Using Canadian mining data, we find that the traditional models do not fully explain the changes in population size in Canada's mining industry. As a result, we introduce a number of hybrid models. The results from these hybrid models suggest that Canadian-specific regulatory punctuations, particularly the introduction of significant new taxes, environmental legislation, and incentives have shaped the trajectory of mining firm participation.
