However, there is large uncertainty on the estimation of soil organic carbon(SOC) storage in grassland among previous studies, and the study on soil inorganic carbon(SIC) is still lack. We surveyed 153 sites during plant peak growing season and estimated SOC and SIC for temperate desert, temperate steppe, alpine steppe, steppe meadow, alpine meadow and swamp, which covered main grassland in the Qinghai Plateau during 2011 to 2012. The results showed that the vertical and spatial distributions of SOC and SIC varied by grassland types. The SOC amount mainly decreased from southeast to northwest, whereas the SIC amount increased from southeast to northwest. The magnitude of SOC amount in the top 50 cm across grassland types ranked by: swamp > alpine meadow >steppe meadow > temperate steppe > alpine steppe > temperate desert, while the SIC amount showed an opposite order. There was a great deal of variation in proportion of SOC and SIC among different grassland types(from 55.17 to 94.59 for SOC and 5.14 to 44.83 for SIC). The total SOC and SIC storage was 5.78 Pg and 1.37 Pg, respectively, in the top 50 cm of soil in Qinghai Province. The mixed linear model revealed that grassland types was the predominant factor in spatial variations of SOC amount while grassland types and soil p H accounted for those of SIC amount. Our results suggested that the community shift of alpine meadow towards alpine grassland induced by climate warming would decrease carbon sequestration capacity by 6.0 kg C m2.展开更多

The carbon content in different organs of C. lanceolata ranged from 464.5 to 508.9 g/kg, and the order was bark 〉 stem 〉 branch 〉 root 〉 leaf. The carbon contents in shrub, herb and litter layers were 456.2, 416.3 and 468.1 g/kg, respectively. Carbon content in the soil （0 -80 cm）was 15.77 g/kg.

The grain as well as straw yields were significantly lower in poplar block plantations than in the open （14 to 64% and 13 to 66% grain and straw yield, respectively under one to six year plantation）. The annual productivity of poplars was recorded maximum after fourth year and later the annual wood increment decreased （42.4, 39.8 and 35.6 m^3/ha/yr after 4^th, 5^th and 6^th year, respectively）. The enrichment of soil through litter and roots enhanced the organic carbon in the surface layer of soil （0-15 cm） under poplar blocks as compared to open fields with wheat crop only. The carbon storage potential in agroforestry system was recorded very high in comparison to sole crop. The carbon storage in agroforestry system increased with the age of the plantation and the major contribution came from the timber, roots and litter （37.30 mg/ha after six years）. However, wheat crop yield decreased under poplar but this may be compensated by the poplar trees in terms of biomass, economic returns and the carbon sequestration potential.展开更多

The influent carbon source was fed in step while a novel RAS pre-concentration tank was adopted to improve BNR efficiency, and the effects of an influent carbon source distribution ratio and a RAS pre-concentration ratio were investigated. The results show that the removal efficiency of TN is mainly influenced by the carbon source distribution ratio while the TP removal relies on the RAS pre-concentration ratio. The optimum carbon source distribution ratio and RAS pre-concentration ratio are 60% and 50%, respectively, with an inner recycling ratio of 100% under the optimum steady operation of pilot test, reaching an average effluent TN concentration of 9.8 mg·L-1with a removal efficiency of 63% and an average TP removal efficiency of 94%. The mechanism of nutrient removal is discussed and the kinetics is analyzed. The results reveal that the optimal carbon source distribution ratio provides sufficient denitrifying carbon source to each anoxic phase, reducing nitrate accumulation while the RAS pre-concentration ratio improves the condition of anaerobic zone to ensure the phosphorus release due to less nitrate in the returned sludge. Therefore, nitrifying bacteria, denitrifying bacteria and phosphorus accumulation organisms play an important role under the optimum condition, enhancing the performance of nutrient removal in this test.展开更多

The Miocene-Quaternary strata in the Xisha Islands, which are located 40–100 km to the south, are composed of carbonate reef formations. Paleotectonic and paleogeographic analyses of the basin suggest that the southern uplift experienced favorable geological conditions for the development of carbonate reefs during the Miocene.The high-impedance carbonates have high amplitudes and low frequencies on seismic profiles. The reefs are distributed on paleotectonic highs and are thicker than the contemporaneous formations. A forward model of the variation in carbonate thickness based on lithological and velocity information from wells in nearby regions can simulate the seismic response of carbonates with different thicknesses. We identified several important controlling points for determining the thickness of carbonates from seismic profiles, including the pinchout point,the λ/4 thickness point, and the λ/2 thickness point. We depict a carbonate thickness map in the deepwater area of the southern Qiongdongnan Basin based on this model. The carbonate thickness map, the paleotectonic and paleogeographic background, and the seismic response characteristics of reefs suggest that the carbonates that developed on the southern uplift of the Qiongdongnan Basin during the Miocene were mainly an isolated carbonate platform peninsula and ramp deposits. It consisted of gentle ramp platform, steep slope platform,platform depression, gravity flow, and reef bank facies.展开更多

文摘A pilot-scale modified carbon source division anaerobic anoxic oxic(AAO) process with pre-concentration of returned activated sludge(RAS) was proposed in this study for the enhanced biological nutrient removal(BNR) of municipal wastewater with limited carbon source. The influent carbon source was fed in step while a novel RAS pre-concentration tank was adopted to improve BNR efficiency, and the effects of an influent carbon source distribution ratio and a RAS pre-concentration ratio were investigated. The results show that the removal efficiency of TN is mainly influenced by the carbon source distribution ratio while the TP removal relies on the RAS pre-concentration ratio. The optimum carbon source distribution ratio and RAS pre-concentration ratio are 60% and 50%, respectively, with an inner recycling ratio of 100% under the optimum steady operation of pilot test, reaching an average effluent TN concentration of 9.8 mg·L-1with a removal efficiency of 63% and an average TP removal efficiency of 94%. The mechanism of nutrient removal is discussed and the kinetics is analyzed. The results reveal that the optimal carbon source distribution ratio provides sufficient denitrifying carbon source to each anoxic phase, reducing nitrate accumulation while the RAS pre-concentration ratio improves the condition of anaerobic zone to ensure the phosphorus release due to less nitrate in the returned sludge. Therefore, nitrifying bacteria, denitrifying bacteria and phosphorus accumulation organisms play an important role under the optimum condition, enhancing the performance of nutrient removal in this test.

文摘Carbon source is a critical constraint on nutrient removal in domestic wastewater treatment.However,the functions of particulate organic matter（POM） and some organics with high molecular weight（HMW） are overlooked in the conventional process,as they cannot be directly assimilated into cells during microbial metabolism.This further aggravates the problem of carbon source shortage and thus affects the effluent quality.Therefore,to better characterize organic matter（OM） based MW distribution,microfiltration/ultrafiltration/nanofiltration（MF/UF/NF） membranes were used in parallel to fractionate OM,which obtained seven fractions.Hydrolysis acidification（HA） was adopted to manipulate the MW distribution of dissolved organic matter（DOM） and further explore the correlation between molecular size and biodegradability.Results showed that HA pretreatment of wastewater not only promoted transformation from POM to DOM,but also boosted biodegradability.After 8 hr of HA,the concentration of dissolved organic carbon（DOC） increased by 65%,from the initial value of20.25 to 33.48 mg/L,and the biodegradability index（BOD5（biochemical oxygen demand）/SCOD（soluble chemical oxygen demand）） increased from 0.52 to 0.74.Using MW distribution analysis and composition optimization,a new understanding on the characteristics of organics in wastewater was obtained,which is of importance to solving low C/N wastewater treatment in engineering practice.

文摘The southern uplift of the Qiongdongnan Basin is a deepwater area in which no wells have beens drilled. The Miocene-Quaternary strata in the Xisha Islands, which are located 40–100 km to the south, are composed of carbonate reef formations. Paleotectonic and paleogeographic analyses of the basin suggest that the southern uplift experienced favorable geological conditions for the development of carbonate reefs during the Miocene.The high-impedance carbonates have high amplitudes and low frequencies on seismic profiles. The reefs are distributed on paleotectonic highs and are thicker than the contemporaneous formations. A forward model of the variation in carbonate thickness based on lithological and velocity information from wells in nearby regions can simulate the seismic response of carbonates with different thicknesses. We identified several important controlling points for determining the thickness of carbonates from seismic profiles, including the pinchout point,the λ/4 thickness point, and the λ/2 thickness point. We depict a carbonate thickness map in the deepwater area of the southern Qiongdongnan Basin based on this model. The carbonate thickness map, the paleotectonic and paleogeographic background, and the seismic response characteristics of reefs suggest that the carbonates that developed on the southern uplift of the Qiongdongnan Basin during the Miocene were mainly an isolated carbonate platform peninsula and ramp deposits. It consisted of gentle ramp platform, steep slope platform,platform depression, gravity flow, and reef bank facies.
文摘In practical operations,the carbon monoxide(CO)distribution in an opposite-wall-firing furnace(OWFF)is characterized by a high concentration near the side walls and a low concentration in the center,accompanied by a series of combustionrelated issues.To find the reasons for the CO distribution,a numerical study was conducted on a 660 MWe OWFF.The CO concentration profiles,distribution coefficients of coal and air,mixing coefficients,and the aerodynamic characteristics were extracted for analysis.The CO distribution within the furnace greatly depends on the mixing of coal and air.A mismatch between the aerodynamic behaviors of coal and air causes the non-uniform distribution of CO.Taking into consideration that distinctive flow patterns exist within the different regions,the formation mechanisms of the CO distribution can be divided into two components:(1)In the burner region,the collision of opposite flows leads to the migration of gas and particles toward the side wall which,together with the vortexes formed at furnace corners,is responsible for unburned particles concentrated and oxygenized from the furnace center to the side wall.Thus,high CO concentrations appear in these areas.(2)As the over-fire air(OFA)jet is injected into the furnace,it occupies the central region of furnace and pushes the gas from the burner region outward to the side wall,which is disadvantageous for the mixing effect in the side wall region.As a consequence,a U-shaped distribution of CO concentration is formed.Our results contribute to a theoretical basis for facilitating the control of variation in CO concentration within the furnace.

文摘Cyclic injection holds great potential for CO_(2) emission reduction coupled with enhanced unconventional oil recovery.There is,however,a lack of a thorough understanding of carbon distribution,migration,and transformation underground over time at the reservoir scale.To address this issue,we conducted a rig-orous numerical simulation integrating microseismic events,multi-geomechanics,and multi-geochemistry to represent the complex fracture geometry,rock stress sensitivity,and CO_(2)-oil-brine-rock interactions.The fluid model,reservoir model,and geochemical reaction kinetics were carefully validated and calibrated using experimental data.The performance of CO_(2) utilization and geological storage was comprehensively investigated in terms of changes in oil production,CO_(2) storage,carbon distribution,and petrophysical properties.The results indicate that 48.3%of the injected CO_(2) was stored stably under-ground after ten cycles(ten years),with a 3.4%increase in oil recovery.The presence of multiple CO_(2) stor-age forms,such as dissolved in water and mineralized carbonate,impeded CO_(2)-oil interaction,leading to a 25.9%reduction in the volume of the CO_(2)-oil mixing zone and a 2.2%decrease in cumulative oil pro-duction,albeit with a 7.7%increase in the storage rate.The cyclic injection mode had a significant impact on the migration and transformation of CO_(2) in the reservoir.While dissolved CO_(2) in oil accounted for over half of the total storage,it had the possibility of being released during production.After ten cycles,20%of the injected CO_(2)(approximately 12000 t)reached long-term storage in four forms:mineralized carbon-ate(6%),water-dissolved CO_(2)(6%),aqueous ions(4%),and trapped gas(4%).Notably,the non-fracture zone within the stimulated reservoir volume(SRV)served as the primary trapping area for residual gas.This work provides valuable insights into dynamic CO_(2) transport and transformation processes under cyclic injection and presents a more comprehensive and precise framework for assessing CO_(2) capture,utilization,and storage with enhanced oil recovery(CCUS-EOR)performance in unconventional reser-voirs after fracturing.
文摘Jet ventilation is widely used in the ventilation design of highway and railway tunnels as an important air supply method during tunnel operation and disaster periods.This ventilation method has also been applied for fire control in immersed tunnels.We conduct numerical simulations using computational fluid dynamics(CFD)to study positive ventilation in the upstream and reverse ventilation in the downstream(P-R)for an extra-wide immersed tunnel.The effects of fire source location and jet fan air velocity response strategy on the ceiling temperature decay,carbon monoxide(CO)distribution,and smoke exhaust efficiency were investigated for varying fire source locations.The results show that flames will be tilted to the side of the jet fan with a smaller air velocity.Additionally,the jet fan air velocity should be adjusted based on the relative distance between the fire source and the smoke vent.Among the studied scenarios,the most effective outcome was achieved when the air velocity was adjusted to 25 m/s on the side near the smoke vent.Also in this scenario,the phenomenon of smoke deposition was effectively mitigated and the average smoke exhaust efficiency reached 87%.Moreover,we found that the temperature decay of the tunnel follows an exponential decay law.The temperature decay rate is significantly higher on the side closest to the smoke vent compared to the farther side.This research provides a theoretical basis for smoke control strategies for fires that occur in immersed tunnels.
