Treatment of leachate from domestic landfills with three-stage physicochemical and biochemical technology

Because domestic landfill leachate concentrates complex organic pollutants, effective treatment of landfill leachate has gained increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, three-stage physicochemical and biochemical technology for treatment of domestic landfill leachate is presented. Based on an eight-month pilot operation, over 96% of the main pollutants, for example COD_Cr, BOD₅, SS, NH₄ ⁺–N, coliform, and chrominance, can be removed, among which the removal efficiency of COD_Cr was 89.5, 8.6, and 1.7% in stages 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the removal efficiency of BOD₅ was 90.3, 8.3, and 1.4%. In the treatment, the biochemical process played a principal role on the removal of pollutants from the leachate. The treatment efficiency depends on how the syntheses of physicochemical, anaerobic, and hydrolytic procedures pave the way for biochemical treatment. Application of a combined efflux and mixed-flow aerator enhanced the removal efficiency during each procedure.     

鄂尔多斯盆地东部下二叠统山西组山2段成岩相划分及展布

鄂尔多斯盆地东部下二叠统山西组山2段岩石类型主要为石英砂岩、岩屑质石英砂岩和岩屑砂岩,储集层经历了压实、压溶、硅质胶结、碳酸盐胶结交代、高岭石胶结、杂基蚀变以及溶蚀等多种成岩作用。在成岩作用研究的基础上,通过大量的岩心观察和薄片鉴定,结合阴极发光、探针分析等方法,将研究区划分出7种单因素成岩相,即：强压实、压溶-石英次生加大、蚀变高岭石、沉淀高岭石、杂基充填、碳酸盐胶结交代、不稳定组分溶蚀成岩相,在此基础上对其进行平面叠加,确定了利于储集层发育的优势成岩相。其中压溶-石英次生加大与杂基、假杂基溶蚀作用的综合作用（叠加和改造）决定了山西组山2段有利的成岩相带,在陕141井区、榆37井区、子洲-清涧地区山西组山2段形成了天然气优质储集层。     

0801号台风“浣熊”的路径和强度特征分析

利用一天四次的NECP格点再分析资料对台风的移动路径、强度突变进行分析。结果表明:台风"浣熊"的移动路径与副高位置的演变有关,而西风槽、脊的进退直接影响副高的演变。因此,副热带高压与西风槽、脊的相互作用是台风"浣熊"路径在北纬20度从西北偏北转向东北的原因;弱冷空气、东亚大槽槽前正涡度平流所产生的强辐散场是强度突变的重要原因;除此之外,越赤道气流与副热带高压的共同作用,不仅对台风"浣熊"强度突变有作用,同时也是其路径在南海从西北偏西转向西北偏北的原因。     

琼州海峡南北海岸带大风的天气气候特征

根据最大风、极大风两种大风事件标准,利用琼州海峡南北沿岸海口、琼山、临高、徐闻4站1977-2006年地面观测资料,分析了琼州海峡南北海岸带大风的天气气候特征,并对大风形成的可能机制进行了探讨.近30年,琼州海峡南北两岸大风日数的演变趋势不同,北岸具有波动的演变规律,具有14年的年代际变化周期和2～4年的年际变化周期,波动周期与影响海南岛的热带气旋年频数的显著周期基本一致;南岸为线性减少趋势,气候突变期为20世纪90年代中后期.城市化进程加快、冷空气势力减弱是导致南岸大风事件显著减少的主要原因.北岸易出现东北大风,南岸易出现偏南大风;平均而言,南岸大风强于北岸,两岸大风均以夏季出现频率最高,冬季最少,这与我国大部分地区大风的季节特征不同.     

2011夏季南极普里兹湾营养盐与浮游植物生物量的分布

利用2011南极夏季在普里兹湾获取的海水样,检测了Chla、磷酸盐、硅酸盐、硝酸盐和铵盐的含量。结果表明,普里兹湾表层海水中Chla的含量普遍具有冰架边缘>陆架区>陆坡及深海区的分布特征,海冰的消融及水体的稳定性是影响表层海水Chla分布的主要原因。Chla含量的垂直分布与光照条件相关,具有上层水体含量高,随着深度逐渐降低的分布特征。磷酸盐、硅酸盐和硝酸盐的水平及垂直分布特征都与Chla的分布格局相反。表层海水中铵盐的分布特征与磷酸盐等主要营养盐的分布格局相反,冰架边缘、陆架区铵盐的垂直分布特征与陆坡及深海区不同,在冰架边缘和陆架区有机质降解过程主导着水柱中铵盐的浓度,而浮游植物吸收作用与有机质降解过程之间的平衡控制着陆坡及深海区铵盐的垂直分布。根据Chla与营养盐的浓度及分布特征,结合温度、盐度、溶解氧等水文要素,分析探讨了Chla深层最大值现象（DCM）的成因及67.5°S以南表层海水中铵盐对硝酸盐吸收的抑制作用。

Seismic analysis of a LNG storage tank isolated by a multiple friction pendulum system

The seismic response of an isolated vertical, cylindrical, extra-large liquefi ed natural gas (LNG) tank by a multiple friction pendulum system (MFPS) is analyzed. Most of the extra-large LNG tanks have a fundamental frequency which involves a range of resonance of most earthquake ground motions. It is an effective way to decrease the response of an isolation system used for extra-large LNG storage tanks under a strong earthquake. However, it is diff icult to implement in practice with common isolation bearings due to issues such as low temperature, soft site and other severe environment factors. The extra-large LNG tank isolated by a MFPS is presented in this study to address these problems. A MFPS is appropriate for large displacements induced by earthquakes with long predominant periods. A simplifi ed fi nite element model by Malhotra and Dunkerley is used to determine the usefulness of the isolation system. Data reported and statistically sorted include pile shear, wave height, impulsive acceleration, convective acceleration and outer tank acceleration. The results show that the isolation system has excellent adaptability for different liquid levels and is very effective in controlling the seismic response of extra-large LNG tanks.     

The assessment of drought relief by typhoon Saomai based on MODIS remote sensing data in Shanghai,China

Typhoons are one of the major natural hazards occurring frequently in Shanghai. The comprehensive assessment of drought relief by typhoon has become a major concern of scientists and government agencies in Shanghai, China. In this article, with the support of remote sensing data and the available data from local meteorological stations, the regional drought relief was investigated and the change of drought intensity was quantified by the typhoon “Saomai” between 5 and 8 August 2005. The precipitation anomaly calculated on the basis of recorded rainfall was adopted to analyze drought condition changes before and after the typhoon. Then, vegetation supply water index (VSWI) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were used to monitor the drought relief due to the consecutive shortage of summer rainfall. Impact of typhoon on drought was compared by VSWI before and after typhoon Saomei. The results showed that the typhoon alleviated the drought of the vegetation by more than 70 %, based on the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation, the ground temperature, relative humidity, high temperature, NDVI from Shanghai area. The result shows that MODIS remote sensing data are a useful quantitative monitoring tool in drought relief by local typhoons. More strategies are necessary to be adopted for prevention and mitigation of meteorological disaster in Shanghai in recent years.     

Theoretical framework of generalized watershed drought risk evaluation and adaptive strategy based on water resources system

Drought is an extreme event in hydrologic cycle. The occurrences of drought events usually feature determinacy and randomness. With the increasing impact of climate change and anthropogenic activities, drought happens in more areas with higher frequency, and now it threatens the water and ecology security in river basin. Drought is firstly a resource issue, and with its development, it transforms into a disaster issue. From the perspective of the water resources system, the Dongliao River Basin, which has high frequency of drought occurrence, was studied to propose the connotation and the quantitative evaluation method of generalized drought. The driving factors of natural climate variability (NCV), anthropogenic climate change (ACC), underlying condition change and hydraulic engineering regulation (HER) can alter the impacts of drought events. The influencing time of NCV, ACC and HER was decided, respectively, and generalized drought risk maps were drawn. Finally, water emergency dispatch, water demand compression and water diversion were proposed to cope with the generalized drought risk.
