烯烃装置产生的污泥制备活性炭的研究

以烯烃装置产生的污泥为原料、采用水蒸气活化法制备活性炭,考察了增碳剂、活化温度、活化时间、水蒸气用量等因素对活性炭性能的影响.结果表明,当增碳剂(秸秆)的添加量为25%(质量分数)、活化温度为900 ℃、活化时间为1 h、水蒸气用量为1.5 mL/g时,制备的活性炭得率为45.4%、碘吸附值为702.6 mg/g、亚甲基蓝吸附值为75 mL/g.采用所制备的活性炭处理城市生活污水,结果表明,其对污水的处理效果较好,对COD和色度的去除率分别为79.94%和95.83%.

Thermal radiation hazards from releases of LPG from pressurised storage

When a flammable liquid with a vapour pressure greater than atmospheric is released from pressurised storage, flash evaporation occurs. The ignition of such a release is likely to create a fireball which creates a short lived, but intense, source of thermal radiation.The influences of the flash evaporation process on the mechanism of flammable cloud formation and the subsequent burning of the cloud are discussed. Published information is reviewed to provide insight into those features of fireball behaviour that are influenced by the initial degree of flash evaporation and those that are not. Correlations are presented that represent consensus views on the influence of mass of flammable substance in the release on fireball diameter, duration, and radiation output.     

Phosphorus release from sediments from Lake Carl Blackwell, Oklahoma

A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effects of anaerobic vs aerobic conditions, sterile vs non-sterile conditions and mixing on the release of soluble ortho-phosphate from sediments obtained from Lake Carl Blackwell, Oklahoma. Eight laboratory systems reflecting various combinations of the three environmental conditions to be studied were investigated for a 30-day experimental period. Phosphate release under non-sterile conditions exceeded the release observed under sterile conditions in all systems regardless of whether they were anaerobic, aerobic, mixed or static. In addition, mixing enhanced phosphorus release under all the conditions investigated.Release of phosphate was observed under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. Anaerobic release was greater than aerobic release in all cases except for two. The average release obtained in the aerobic mixed non-sterile systems was greater than the average release observed in the anaerobic static sterile systems and was equal to the average release observed in the anaerobic static non-sterile systems. This higher release under aerobic conditions could probably be attributed to mixing.     

Contamination of Groundwaters from Diffuse Sources arising from Farming Activities

There is wide concern in developed countries that groundwater resources are deteriorating in the long-term, both in quantity and quality. Some causes of pollution have a largely agricultural origin of which nitrates and pesticides are thought to pose serious risks to human health. This paper briefly reviews the sources of agricultural pollution of groundwater and the extent of the problem. It summarizes the various processes which take place in aquifers to remove, alter or attenuate contaminants.

林德曼的启示：为值得做的事情努力

哲理故事 1900年7月,一位叫林德曼的精神病学专家独自一人架着一叶小舟驶进了波涛汹涌的大西洋,他在进行一项历史上从未有过的心理学试验,准备付出的代价是自己的生命!林德曼博士认为,一个人只要对自己抱有信心,就能保持精神和机体的健康.之前已经有1 00多位勇士相继驾舟横渡大西洋,结果均遭失败,无人生还.林德曼博士认为,这些死难者首先不是从身体上失败的,而是死于精神上的崩溃,死于恐怖和绝望.在航行中,林德曼博士遇到了难以想象的困难,多次濒临死亡,他的眼前出现幻觉,运动感也处于麻木状态,有时真有绝望之感.但只要这个念头一升起,他马上就大声自责:"懦夫,你想重蹈覆辙,葬身此地吗?不,我一定能够成功!"这个目标支持着林德曼,最后,他终于成功抵达了彼岸.

Heritage from Below

Current research into the peri-urbanisation associated with the rapid population growth of preferred Australian metropolitan regions has shown that their landscape values are put at risk and the region's quality of life (QoL) and the community's standards of liveability are consequently threatened. Whilst the concept of a landscape framework as an analytical, policy and management tool has general acceptance, there appears to be few if any working examples where this concept has been operationalised. To date, the conventional approaches utilised by regional planning agencies and local government have not been able to deliver the necessary tools to incorporate the essential landscape planning principles let alone planning processes to address the regional landscape values at risk in the peri-urban areas of rapidly growing regions. However, promising initiatives have emerged from allied planning fields such as landscape planning. Despite shortcomings in the theoretical development of this conceptual framework, a regional landscape framework has been incorporated into the recently released SEQ Regional Plan 2005–2026, a statutory planning instrument for the South East Queensland (SEQ) region, Australia's fastest growing metropolitan region. Whilst it is conceivable that in the SEQ case, practice may be ahead of theory, there is now an imperative to develop this framework in a manner that it can be utilised as a regional policy framework and as an integrating instrument to address the values of regional landscapes including the range of existing and emerging rural values of the critical urban–rural interface.
