Abstract:
The particle samples from the cement kilns and coal-fired boilers in Chongqing city were collected by using a flue-gas cascade dilution sampler. The samples were then classified into 12 levels by an electric low pressure impactor (ELPI), and the size distribution characteristic of particles (0.02~10 μm) from industrial sources analyzed. The results showed that the cement kiln exhibited double-peak type logarithmic distribution, with the peak respectively at the accumulation status (0.12 μm) and the near-coarse particle status (1.23-1.96 μm), while the particle number concentration of coal boilers source presented one single peak of accumulation status. The particle-number concentration and mass concentration of the large power plant were higher than other sources, with the peak value being 2.2×106 cm-3, and 174.2 mg/m3, respectively. The OC, Al, and Ca were relatively high in the cement kiln PM2.5, accounting for 17.96%, 17.32% and 9.90% of PM2.5, respectively, while Al, SO42-, and OC were relatively high in the coal-fired boiler PM2.5, accounting for 9.17%, 8.92% and 6.15%, respectively. Compared with carbonaceous and water-soluble fractions, the inorganic fraction contributed more to PM2.5 in the industrial sources, responsible for 44.28% in the cement kiln sources and 18.07% in the coal-fired boilers sources.

Abstract:
The autonomous driving method was adopted to acquire the driving data of heavy coaches in Beijing city, and the wavelet transform method used to deal with data under short stroke classification. The self-developed GPS vehicle information management system was used to monitor and collect the driving data of 400 heavy coaches equipped with driving recorders for 2 months. Then the principal components of micro trips were classified through the method of principal component analysis and K clustering technology. The Best Incremental Method and Combined Method were integrated to establish a speed change curve as representative driving cycle. Through the validation of the characteristic parameters and the joint probability distribution of velocity and acceleration, it was shown that the constructed driving cycle could comprehensively reflect the driving characteristics of heavy coaches in Beijing city. By comparison with domestic and international representative driving cycles, it was found that the constructed heavy coach’s driving cycle in Beijing city has the characteristic of having short idle time, moderate acceleration and deceleration time, and long uniform driving time, which was very different from the driving cycle of passenger car and public transport in Beijing city and European countries in traffic pattern. This is an important supplement to the research of driving cycle of heavy coaches.

Abstract(1940) PDF(753KB)(1223)
Abstract:
There is no enough attention paid to arsenic pollution in atmosphere in China at present. The trace element arsenic in PM2.5 was studied, with its harm, variation characteristics, pollution level, sources, control technology and standards analyzed. The results show that there are differences between arsenic and other metals in PM2.5 in the rule of seasonal variation, someplace even showing almost the opposite trend. The daily variation of arsenic and PM2.5 are positively related, while the spatial variation of arsenic is the same as other metal element. The arsenic pollution in PM2.5 in China is serious, and there are some differences between northern and southern parts of the country. The relevant standard of arsenic in the air is lacking in China at present. Suggestions on arsenic pollution control and further researches were put forward based on the summarization of the variation, pollution level and control experience of arsenic in China.

2015, 5(6): 478-484. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2015.06.075
Abstract(1644) PDF(3224KB)(1771)
Abstract:
Based on understanding and analysis of the migration mechanism of non-point source pollutants, the method of combining watershed unit and river network analysis was used to explore the impact of spatial locations on the inflow ability of non-point source pollutants into the lake. The distance weight was used to represent the impact degree of the polluting sources in the watershed on the lake water environment. With Zhushan Bay as case study, a river network model was constructed by ArcGIS, which was used for watershed unit division and origination-destination (OD) cost matrix analysis. The distance weight of non-point source pollution in watershed was thus calculated, and then tested by pollution contribution coefficients. The results show that the inflow ability of the pollutants into the lake is affected by the polluting source’s location or the migration route distance of the pollutants. The distribution of the same distance weight unit conforms to watershed unit, and the inflow coefficients of TN and TP into the lake are positively associated with the distance weight.

Abstract(2647) PDF(3047KB)(1182)
Abstract:
The growth and decomposition of submerged macrophytes affects the nitrogen cycle in water body. In order to investigate the migration and transformation rule of nitrogen in the water-sediment- submerged macrophytes system, a simulated system was constructed. The changes of nitrogen in water, sediment and submerged macrophytes (Vallisneria natans(Lour.)Hara, V. natans) as well as its migration and transformation in the life cycle of V. natans were studied for 270 days. The results show that the biomass of V. natans increased by more than 30 times in the first three months, and the total nitrogen (TN) amount in water and sediment decreased. After 90 days, V. natans grew slowly and stepped into decaying stage and TN of the whole system decreased gradually. TN in both water and sediment from the group with V. natans was less than that of the control group in the 180th day. In the 270th day, the decomposition rate of V. natans reached 100% and TN in sediment decreased by 9.11% compared with that in the 180th day, while the content of TN in water was similar to that of the 90th day, and was 2.42 times as that in the 180th day. NH4+-N and NO3--N in water and sediment of the control group fluctuated slightly, whereas those in sediment and plant of the group with V. natans changed greatly. During the growth period, NH4+-N and NO3--N in sediment transferred into V. natans, while they were released in a large amount during decomposition process of V. natans, some of which deposited into sediment.

Abstract:
There are a lot of small and medium-sized estuaries, and they transport giant sediments, nutritive salts and pollutants into the ocean, which could cause great impact on the geomorphology evolution, natural resources exploitation and the balance of ecosystem. Building tidal sluices at the estuaries could change the original sediment transport patterns, resulting in a series of estuary problems, for example, estuary siltation, pollution and degeneration of ecological system. Taking main estuaries of Yancheng coast for instance, the characteristics of estuaries with tidal sluices were analyzed, and the concept of sustainable improvement and corresponding countermeasures were proposed, in order to ensure the sustainable economic and social development of the estuary areas.

2015, 5(6): 509-518. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2015.06.080
Abstract(1919) PDF(2753KB)(1402)
Abstract:
Domestic and international standard methods were reviewed and the existing problems pointed out on assessment of stabilization effect for heavy metals contaminated soil. At present, the method of toxicity leaching under the simulated scenarios of landfilling and acid rain is mostly adopted for the assessment. However, this assessment method cannot completely simulate the release of pollutants into the surrounding environment for different purposes, such as gardening soil, road construction, embankment, etc. It is also difficult to characterize the release risk of heavy metals under the long-term effects of the actual complex environments such as carbonization and freeze-thaw, etc. The appropriate leaching methods should be established based on different reuse and disposal scenarios of the stabilized soil, to assess the possibility and amount of heavy metals release under different environmental stress conditions. The health and ecological risk assessment methods should be built up to evaluate the potential risk of the stabilized soil. Through these attempts, the framework of leaching and risk assessment methods for the stabilized soil could be formed.
