Project Risk Screening Matrix for River Management and Restoration

The ‘project risk screening matrix’ derives from a broader effort to assist US government agency staff in reviewing proposed stream management and restoration projects more efficiently and effectively. The River Restoration Analysis Tool (RiverRAT) developed through this effort provides a thorough, comprehensive and auditable approach to review and evaluate proposed stream actions and projects ( www.restorationreview.com ). The matrix was initially developed as the first step in applying the RiverRAT, its purpose being to assist reviewers in assessing the risk to natural resources associated with a particular proposal and matching the intensity of their review to the severity of that risk. Hence, the primary application of the matrix to date has been to identify and screen out low risk projects that may be dealt with expeditiously, so freeing the time and technical resources needed to allow deep reviews of higher risk projects. A second form of screening emerged from this primary function because the matrix proved adept at identifying the minimum level of site and project characterization required to support initial risk assessment. On this basis, proposals lacking adequate information can also be screened out, being referred back to the proponent with a request for additional information. More recently, new and novel versions of the matrix, featuring modification and refinement of one or both of the original axes, have emerged to widen and refine its application to linear infrastructure (e.g. pipelines, roads, and electrical transmission lines), in‐stream structures (e.g. large wood placement and culvert removal), and pre‐application, regulatory, decision‐support tools.

Self-healing epoxy coatings loaded with inhibitor-containing polyelectrolyte nanocapsules

The self-healing polymer coatings containing organic corrosion inhibitors are intensively investigated as an alternative for highly toxic Cr(VI)-based systems. Protective self-healing coatings are realized by embedding “smart” containers, able to release a corrosion inhibitor under some specific conditions occurring when the corrosion process starts (e.g. on pH change) or upon a mechanical damage. In this study a system with the corrosion inhibitors (2-methylbenzothiazole (BT) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)) encapsulated inside the polyelectrolyte nanocapsules embedded in the water-based epoxy coatings is tested for its self-healing performance. The nanocontainers were prepared by the electrostatic adsorption of polyelectrolytes directly on the oil phase drops containing the inhibiting agent. The results for BT emulsion droplets and the mixture of BT and MBT encapsulated by docusate sodium salt/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (AOT/PDADMAC) and docusate sodium salt/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (AOT/PDADMAC/PSS) surface complexes are presented.The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was used to confirm the release of the inhibitor from the scratched coating. The influence of the nanocapsules on the barrier properties and self-healing performance of the epoxy coatings were tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in NaCl solution, the salt spray test (SST) according to ISO9227 and filiform corrosion test (FFT) according to EN ISO 3665. Potential blistering was rated according to EN ISO 4628-2.

环保新标准的循环流化床锅炉改造分析

对循环流化床在脱硝、脱硫和除尘等方面环保技术路线进行了分析,权衡各项技术的利弊及经济因素,结合新颁布的火电厂大气污染物排放标准(GB 13223—2011),做出如下建议:半干旋转喷雾法脱硫工艺(SDA)和SCR结合使用后,氮氧化物的脱除效率可达到95%,循环流化床中高灰分的环境不适合使用SCR,SNCR的脱除效率虽然相对较低,但是通过调整还原剂的停留时间和与烟气的混合程度,脱硝效率可达70%以上,完全可以满足新环保标准的要求;石灰石-石膏湿法脱硫技术成熟,脱硫效率高,负荷适应性好,在循环流化床炉内脱硫的基础上外加该工艺,可以保证足够的脱硫效率;电袋组合式除尘器发挥了两种除尘器的技术优势,可以达到新标准的要求。

Physicochemical and environmental characteristics of alkali leaching residue of wolframite and process for valuable metals recovery

Physicochemical and mineralogical characteristics of an alkali leaching residue of wolframite were studied by XRD, SEM?EDS, chemical phase analysis, mineral liberation analyzer (MLA), and TG?DSC methods. Batch leaching tests, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) tests and Chinese standard leaching tests (CSLT) were conducted to determine the environmental mobility of toxic elements. The results show that, due to the high contents of W, Fe, Mn, Sn, and Nb, the residue is with high resource value, but the content of a toxic element, As, is also high. The existing minerals of the investigated elements mainly occur as monomer particles, but it is difficult to extract these valuable metals by conventional acid leaching due to their mineral properties. The release of As increases over time in acidic environment. The leaching concentration of all investigated harmful elements through TCLP is within the limiting value, while the leaching concentration of As through CSLT exceeds the limiting value by more than 4 times, so the residue is classified as hazardous solid waste based on the Chinese standard. A process for valuable metals recovery from this residue was proposed. Preliminary experimental results indicated that the main valuable metals could be extracted effectively.
