The buckling of plastic oblate hemi-ellipsoidal dome shells under external hydrostatic pressure

The paper presents a theoretical and an experimental investigation into the buckling of seven oblate hemi-ellipsoidal dome shells under external hydrostatic pressure. Four of the shells were made in glass reinforced plastic and three were made from a thermosetting plastic called solid urethane plastic. All the vessels were tested to destruction. The theoretical study was made with the aid of a non-linear finite element solution, where both geometrical and material non-linearity were allowed for. Good agreement was found between experiment and theory for all the vessels. The very oblate domes failed axisymmetrically. Theoretical convergence was good for the more oblate domes but it was not as good as for the less oblate domes. This may have been because the less oblate domes did not fail in a classical axisymmetric manner as was expected. This work is of much importance in ocean engineering.

泡沫塑料富集-电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定土壤中超痕量金铂钯

样品采用王水溶解,二氯化锡还原,泡沫塑料富集,用Re作内标,电感耦合等离子体质谱法同时测定土壤中超痕量金、铂、钯。在盐酸-二氯化锡体系中,盐酸酸度为15%,二氯化锡浓度为45 g/L,吸附时间30 min时吸附效果明显,吸附温度为25℃时吸附率相对稳定。方法检出限Au为0.21 ng/g,Pt为0.18 ng/g,Pd为0.16ng/g,方法加标回收率Au为91.3%~97.8%,Pt为92.0%~96.7%,Pd为96.0%~101.6%。该方法用于测定国家一级标准物质,线性范围宽、重现性好,结果准确可靠,样品处理简便、快速。     

聚氨酯泡塑富集硫脲解脱-石墨炉原子吸收光谱法测定地质样品中金铂

泡沫塑料常用于富集常规地质样品中的铂族元素,而富集后往往用高温灰化法解脱,此法操作繁琐,温度过高易使铂配合物分解为王水难以提取的不溶性残渣,导致测试结果不稳定、效率低;单独使用20 g/L硫脲溶液解脱,测试结果的重现性差。本文对此方法进行改进,采用50%王水封闭溶解试样,氯化亚锡还原,聚氨酯泡塑富集,20 g/L硫脲-20%盐酸溶液解脱,石墨炉原子吸收光谱法测定金和铂。在盐酸-氯化亚锡体系中,吸附温度为20℃,振荡时间为30 min时,金和铂的回收率均在95%以上,金和铂的检出限分别为0.23 ng/g和0.39 ng/g,精密度(RSD,n=10)分别为1.8%～10.3%和1.3%～13.3%。经国家一级标准物质验证,测定值和标准值基本相符。该方法泡塑解脱时无需高温灰化,用王水多次提取,在100℃沸水浴中即可一次完成,样品处理快捷。与高温灰化法相比,提取温度大为降低,分析流程简单,显著提高了单次测样量,且干扰小、空白值低,可以满足除王水难溶的铂矿种外大部分地质样品快速测定的需要。

Revealing Materials: plastics in alternative food economies

This article draws upon recent geographical work on assemblage to reconsider how we understand alternative food economies. In particular it brings attention to the devices upon which these economies rely—specifically plastics. Since the mid-twentieth century, plastics have developed close and complex relations with our agrifood systems; they facilitate commodity valuation and product circulation worldwide but are also recognised as problematic due to their environmental and human health impacts. Despite this paradox and the attention plastics increasingly receive, we know little of their relations with alternative food initiatives (AFIs). How do plastics inhabit alternative food economies? What associations and circulations become performed? What do these markets look like from a device-oriented perspective? To address these questions, the paper draws on fieldwork undertaken in Brisbane (Australia) with two AFIs—a weekly organic market and an online box program/wholesaler. Using visualisation and an assemblage approach discloses the presences, flows, functions, and tensions of plastics in AFIs. In this way, plastics are revealed but also act to reveal alternative food economies. This analysis steps away from evaluations of AFIs’ (in)effective challenge to neoliberalisation to consider them as complex, processual, sometimes ambivalent efforts that not only distribute ‘good food’ but engage in important ways with things like plastics.     

Description of the small plastics fragments in marine sediments along the Alang-Sosiya ship-breaking yard, India

This study aimed to assess the accumulation of small plastic debris in the intertidal sediments of the world's largest ship-breaking yard at Alang-Sosiya, India. Small plastics fragments were collected by flotation and separated according to their basic polymer type under a microscope, and subsequently identified by FT-IR spectroscopy as polyurethane, nylon, polystyrene, polyester and glass wool. The morphology of these materials was also studied using a scanning electron microscope. Overall, there were on average 81 mg of small plastics fragments per kg of sediment. The described plastic fragments are believed to have resulted directly from the ship-breaking activities at the site.     

Persistent organic pollutants carried by synthetic polymers in the ocean environment

Thermoplastic resin pellets are melted and formed into an enormous number of inexpensive consumer goods, many of which are discarded after a relatively short period of use, dropped haphazardly onto watersheds and then make their way to the ocean where some get ingested by marine life. In 2003 and 2004 pre-production thermoplastic resin pellets and post-consumer plastic fragments were collected and analyzed for contamination for persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Samples were taken from the North Pacific Gyre, and selected sites in California, Hawaii, and from Guadalupe Island, Mexico. The total concentration of PCBs ranged from 27 to 980 ng/g; DDTs from 22 to 7100 ng/g and PAHs from 39 to 1200 ng/g, and aliphatic hydrocarbons from 1.1 to 8600 microg/g. Analytical methods were developed to extract, concentrate and identify POPs that may have accumulated on plastic fragments and plastic pellets. The results of this study confirm that plastic debris is a trap for POPs.
