Characterization of Black Carbon in the Ambient Air of Agra,India:Seasonal Variation and Meteorological Influence

This study characterizes the black carbon in Agra, India home to the Taj Mahal—and situated in the Indo-Gangetic basin.The mean black carbon concentration is 9.5 μg m~(-3)and, owing to excessive biomass/fossil fuel combustion and automobile emissions, the concentration varies considerably. Seasonally, the black carbon mass concentration is highest in winter, probably due to the increased fossil fuel consumption for heating and cooking, apart from a low boundary layer. The nocturnal peak rises prominently in winter, when the use of domestic heating is excessive. Meanwhile, the concentration is lowest during the monsoon season because of the turbulent atmospheric conditions and the process of washout by precipitation. The ratio of black carbon to brown carbon is less than unity during the entire study period, except in winter(December). This may be because that biomass combustion and diesel exhaust are major black carbon contributors in this region, while a higher ratio in winter may be due to the increased consumption of fossil fuel and wood for heating purposes. ANOVA reveals significant monthly variation in the concentration of black carbon; plus, it is negatively correlated with wind speed and temperature. A high black carbon mass concentration is observed at moderate(1–2 m s~(-1)) wind speed, as compared to calm or turbulent atmospheric conditions.     

Analyzing snowfall variability over two locations in Kashmir,India in the context of warming climate

Present study focuses on examination snowfall variability over Gulmarg and Pahalgam of Kashmir Valley in India during past 31 years (1980–2010). Trends in temperature over the study area is also explored. Minimum and maximum temperature shows increasing trends which is consistent with increase in black carbon column mass density. Increase in black carbon mass density is attributed to urbanization over study area. Trends of minimum temperature is statistically significant. It is reported that snowfall over the Pahalgam shows decreasing trend except for the month of February and January. Pahalgam shows a significant decreasing trend in snowfall of about 48 mm per decade during March. Pahalgam and Gulmarg show seasonal decreasing trends of snowfall of about 15 mm and 1.8 mm per decade, respectively. These decreasing trends in snowfall are consistent with decadal increasing trends of about 1.2 °C and 0.8 °C in minimum temperature over Pahalgam and Gulmarg, respectively. Seasonal snowfall over both the regions shows decreasing trend (insignificant). Results reported in this study show a decrease of about 24.16% ± 9.86% per degree increase in minimum temperature over Pahalgam. Changing characteristics of snowfall in the context of anthropogenic warming present major challenges to the tourism and socioeconomic aspects over the Valley.     

区域旅游生态效率实证分析——以海南省为例

基于旅游碳足迹、生态效率、旅游经济效应等理论,构建了旅游生态效率模型,在定量计算海南省2012年旅游生态效率值的基础上,对旅游生态效率区域差异进行了成因机制分析。主要结论有：① 海南省2012年旅游交通生态效率为0.898元/kg,旅游住宿生态效率为7.13元/kg,旅游活动生态效率为16.32元/kg,旅游综合生态效率为1.787元/kg,旅游活动和旅游住宿的生态效率值大于旅游交通生态效率值。② 在出行距离既定的情况下,优化旅游生态效率的措施在于：提高人均消费水平、延长平均停留时间、增加平均参与活动频次,即“短距离、长停留、高消费”的市场模式有利于优化旅游生态效率,反之,“长距离、短停留、低消费”的市场模式则拉低了旅游生态效率值。③ 海南省旅游者外部交通平均距离较大、乘坐飞机旅游者比例较高、旅游收入统计值低于实际值等原因叠加起来使其旅游生态效率水平略次于部分旅游地。

钨钼矿中痕量金的化学光谱法测定

采用化学光谱法测定钨钼矿样品中痕量金时,活性炭在富集金的同时也富集了钨、钼等杂质元素,灰份中这些杂质元素均以氧化物形式存在,对铂(内标)的激发行为有明显的抑制作用,表现为铂的黑度值显著偏低,因而不能沿用铂作为测定金的内标,另外分析线Au267.6nm还受钨的谱线叠加干扰.鉴于此,作者采用干扰较少的Au242.8nm/左背景作为分析线对进行测定,测定值与泡塑吸附富集-ICP-MS的结果一致.     

有机地球化学方法在煤层对比中的应用

利用有机地化方法解决宁夏灵武煤田延安组煤层对比的研究表明:区内2、6、7、14、17煤的某些有机地化参数,如氯仿沥青“A”含量、氢指数、产烃潜量、正烷烃碳数分布和烷基菲构成均存在明显差异,这取决于煤层沉积环境、煤化作用程度和有机母质类型。有可能依据这些参数,使煤层本身成为对比的标志层。

一些有机物对Ph、Zn、Cu迁移与沉积作用的实验研究

根据一些有机物在成矿溶液中存在的可能性,作者相继就中性、酸性与碱性氨基酸,以及酒石酸在铅、锌、铜迁移与沉积过程中的作用,进行了模拟实验研究。结果表明,在从９０～２１０℃范围内,酸性氨基酸在热卤水中的存在,比中性和碱性氨基酸更有利于铅、锌、铜的活化、迁移。而酒石酸在热卤水中的存在,只在９０℃或更低时,才是铅、锌等金属活化、迁移的最佳温度条件。且无论哪种有机物在热卤水中的存在,随作用时间及温度的变化,不同金属的活化、迁移明显不同。这表明,金属与氨基酸或其它有机物形成的易溶络合物,其稳定性不仅与金属、氨基酸等有机物的种类有关,而且还受温度的显著影响。     

鸭绿江口溶解有机碳的研究

１９９６年５月采样测定鸭绿江口溶解有机碳（ＤＯＣ）的含量,得出分布变化特征,并同其它一些河口的溶解有机碳进行了比较。鸭绿江口表层水溶解有机碳的平均含量为２０８μｍｏｌＣ／Ｌ。在盐度大于１．６的河口区,溶解有机碳的分布主要受海水稀释作用控制;在盐度０～１．６的区域溶解有机碳的浓度随盐度的增加而明显增加。在最大混浊带,ＤＯＣ的浓度最高,表明有颗粒有机碳转化为溶解有机碳。丹东市以上流段,河水中溶解有机碳的含量相对较低,说明由丹东市引入的工业及生活污水对鸭绿江水体中溶解有机碳的含量有一定的影响。
