活性碳纤维吸附水中酚及脱附条件实验研究

化工、医药等行业排出的含酚废水对环境造成的污染十分严重,其废水的处理日益受到重视。活性炭纤维(Activated Carbon Fibers,ACF)作为一种新型吸附材料,其具有的大比表面积、丰富微孔结构等特点,使其吸附过程效率高。并且其吸附操作设备具有简单、方便、能耗低等优点,从而使该吸附法成为近年来一种快速发展的废水处理方法。本研究通过静态条件下的吸脱附性能研究,研究了ACF吸附水中酚的规律,确定了最佳的吸附时间为4 h,水溶液pH为弱酸性及低温有利于吸附的结果,得到了准确的平衡吸附量;找到了合适的ACF脱附再生剂NaOH,并测试出其多次再生的利用率。

抗性真菌对Pb2+、Zn2+和Cu2+的吸附特性研究

从铜陵市某矿区土壤中筛选出1株对重金属Pb2+、Zn2+和Cu2+具有抗性的真菌,命名为TL-3。以TL-3为实验菌株,在不同pH值、不同金属离子初始浓度、不同菌体量以及不同吸附时间条件下对Pb2+、Zn2+和Cu2+进行吸附实验,研究其吸附特性与对不同金属离子的吸附能力。结果表明,TL-3对Pb2+、Zn2+和Cu2+的最佳pH值为5.0。在最佳条件下,吸附量在Pb2+,Zn2+和Cu2+的初始浓度分别为200mg/L、300mg/L和200mg/L达到最大,分别为20.61mg/g,23.17mg/g和17.46mg/g。TL-3对三种重金属的吸附均在20h达到吸附平衡。     

盐场卤水氧化-吸附联合脱色工艺的研究

以天津汉沽盐场高镁卤水为研究对象,分析其成色原因,建立了过氧化氢氧化-氢氧化锆吸附联合脱色工艺,分别考察了脱色剂用量、温度、pH值等因素对卤水色度、CODCr及镁离子损失率的影响,确定了最佳的脱色工艺条件:用卤水处理量1%(体积比)的过氧化氢于室温下将卤水氧化2 h后,在pH值为2～3的条件下经氢氧化锆吸附脱色40 min,氢氧化锆用量为60 g/L。在此条件下,卤水色度及CODCr去除率分别可达99%和85%,镁离子的损失率可控制在1%以下,均高于目前使用的工艺方法。吸附剂氢氧化锆经脱附后可循环使用,大大降低了工艺运行成本。     

Cs+水合结构的密度泛函理论计算研究

基于密度泛函理论在ωB97XD/gen def2-tzvp基组水平上对[Cs(H_2O)n]~+(n=1～15)水合团簇结构的振动光谱进行了研究。研究表明,随着水分子数的增加,在气相和液相中,八配位的Cs~+水合团簇是最稳定的;随着水分子数的增加,Cs-O键长增大,Cs~+上的电荷密度减小。当水分子数大于11时,Cs-O键长和Cs~+上的电荷密度变化很小。O(H_2O)-O(H_2O)距离、∠O(H_2O)-Cs-O(H_2O)°统计结果表明,15个水分子足以形成Cs~+的近似饱和水合层。此外,红外光谱显示[Cs(H_2O)n]~+水合团簇中O-H伸缩振动随着水分子数的增加而发生变化,由此可以作为鉴别水合层位置的一种参考方法。     

WO3/LiV3O8用于电控离子交换选择性提锂

首先通过水热合成制备了六方隧道结构的WO3,然后再通过两步法将LiV3O8与WO3进行复合,制备成WO3/LiV3O8复合材料。随后采用XRD、SEM、EDS等手段对该复合材料进行了结构表征,并考察了不同复合比例的WO3/LiV3O8电控离子交换(ESIX)性能。实验结果表明,LiV3O8与WO3成功复合,其中WO3 (10%)/LiV3O8 的电化学性能最佳。将WO3 (10%)/LiV3O8 涂覆到预处理好的碳纸上,制备成电活性功能膜,采用ESIX技术在30 mg/L的含Li+溶液中对Li+进行电化学吸附,在电位为-1.0 V(vs. SCE)时吸附容量最大,为14.2 mg·g-1。在三种离子浓度均为0.015 mol/L 的Li+、Mg2+、K+混合溶液中测试了该材料的选择性,Li+/Mg2+和Li+/K+的选择性系数分别为15.88和52.23,五次吸附-脱附循环后,Li+的吸附容量仍能保持初始容量的87.8%。WO3/LiV3O8对Li+吸附表现出较高的吸附选择性,且复合材料具有一定的可重复使用性。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.     

Metals and models: Diagenic modelling in freshwater lacustrine sediments

This review aims to distill and synthesize the existing information on the use of models to describe and predict the distribution and movement of metals in lacustrine sediments. As such it examines the causes of metal diagenesis, the origin and form of the equations that govern these phenomena, and the predictability or measurability of the parameters that appear in the models. The paper concludes by highlighting some seminal results from modelling studies, including the determination of the factors controlling the formation of surficial Mn-Fe-enriched zone or layers, the substantial contribution possible from metal reduction to organic matter regeneration, the calculation of mixing-corrected metal input histories to lakes, and the prediction of growth rates and morphologies for both deep-sea and lacustrine ferromanganese nodules.     

Guidelines to Authors

正1.Aims and scope Sciences in Cold and Arid Regions(SCAR)is a bimonthly journal that publishes in English the latest research achievements in processes and the patterns of the Earth surface system in cold and arid regions.Researches in cold regions emphasize particularly on the cold-region-characterized physical,chemical and biological processes and their interactions,and on the response of cryosphere to global change and human activities as well as their effects on environment and the acclimatizable strategies;focus on the objects of glacier,snow,river,lake,sea ice,permafrost and seasonal frozen ground,and periglacial geomorphology,etc.;and think much of cold regions
