Experimental results showed that when the concentrations of COD and NH4+-N of the influent were 370~910 mg/L and 10~70 mg/L, the corresponding average concentrations of those of effluent were about 80 mg/L and 8 mg/L respectively, which was better than the Level I criteria of the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996). According to GC-MS analysis of the effluents from both the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the pilot system, there were 68 kinds of persistent organic pollutants in the WWTP effluent, while there were only 32 in that of the pilot system. In addition, the amount of the organics in the effluent of the pilot system reduced by almost 50% compared to that of the WWTP. As a whole, after bioaugmentation, the organic removal efficiency of the wastewater treatment system obviously in- creased.展开更多

A pilot-scale biofilter packed with suspended carriers was operated for tertiary denitrification with ethanol as the organic carbon source. Long-term performance, biokinetics of denitrification and biofilm growth were evaluated under filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr. The pilot-scale biofilter removed nitrate from the secondary effluent effectively, and the nitrate nitrogen(NO_3-N) removal percentage was 82%, 78% and 55% at the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. At the filtration velocities of 6 and 10 m/hr, the nitrate removal loading rate increased with increasing influent nitrate loading rates, while at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr, the removal loading rate and the influent loading rate were uncorrelated.During denitrification, the ratio of consumed chemical oxygen demand to removed NO_3-N was 3.99-4.52 mg/mg. Under the filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, the maximum denitrification rate was 3.12, 4.86 and 4.42 g N/(m^2·day), the half-saturation constant was 2.61, 1.05 and 1.17 mg/L, and the half-order coefficient was 0.22, 0.32 and 0.24(mg/L)1/2/min,respectively. The biofilm biomass increased with increasing filtration velocity and was 2845,5124 and 7324 mg VSS/m^2 at filtration velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m/hr, respectively. The highest biofilm density was 44 mg/cm^3 at the filtration velocity of 14 m/hr. Due to the low influent loading rate, biofilm biomass and thickness were lowest at the filtration velocity of 6 m/hr.展开更多

Firstly, more than 50 efficient crude oil-degrading and biosurfactant producing bacteria were isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil and water in Tianjin Binhai New Area Oil field, China. Twenty-four of them were selected for further study. These strains were identified as belonging Pseudornonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Brevibacillus brevis, Achrornobacter sp., Acinetobacter venetianus, Lysinibacillus rnacroides, Klebsiella oxytoca, Stenotrophornonas rhizophila, Rhodococcus sp. and Bacillus thuringiensis. A shake-flask degradation test revealed that 12 of these strains could degrade over 50% of 1% crude oil concentration in 7 d. Of these, 8 strains were able to produce biosurfactants. Furthermore, environmental tolerance experiments indicated that the majority of the strains had the ability to adapt to extreme environments including high temperatures, alkaline en- vironments and high salinity environments. A mixed bacterial agent comprising the strains WB2, W2, W3 and HA was developed based on the environmental tolerance tests and subjected to the pilot-scale degradation test indicating that this bacterial agent could degrade 85.2% of 0.8% crude oil concentration in 60 d. Our results suggest that the application of this mixed agent could remediate crude oil polluted soils in saline and alkaline environments.展开更多

Moreover, since such wastewater is also not suitable for the growth of microorganisms, the way of wastewater treatment by microorganisms is also greatly limited. For this kind of industrial waste water, apart from the degradation of organic matters, the separation of inorganic salts and waste water is also required to meet the sewage discharge standard. Based on this, the article focuses on the coal chemical high salt wastewater electro-catalytic oxidation pilot study.展开更多

Coupled with web-based platforms, this technology facilitates real-time data sharing and collaborative research efforts among scientists, policymakers, and conservationists. Thus, there is a need to grow this research interest among experts working in this kind of ecosystem. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the effective role of remote sensing and web-based platform in monitoring mangrove ecosystem. The research paper utilized the thematic approach to extract specific information to use in the discussion which helped realize the efficiency of digital monitoring for the environment. Web-based platforms and remote sensing represent a powerful tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in the context of forest ecosystems. They facilitate the accessibility of vital data, promote collaboration among stakeholders, support evidence-based policymaking, and engage communities in conservation efforts. As experts confront the urgent challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation, leveraging technology through web-based platforms is essential for fostering a sustainable future for the forests of the world.展开更多

文摘Industrial wastewater from modern industrial production often contains excessive organic hazardous substances or excessive salts, acids and bases, etc. Traditional methods cannot play an effective role in the treatment of such wastewater. Moreover, since such wastewater is also not suitable for the growth of microorganisms, the way of wastewater treatment by microorganisms is also greatly limited. For this kind of industrial waste water, apart from the degradation of organic matters, the separation of inorganic salts and waste water is also required to meet the sewage discharge standard. Based on this, the article focuses on the coal chemical high salt wastewater electro-catalytic oxidation pilot study.

文摘Mitigating vortex-induced vibrations(VIV)in flexible risers represents a critical concern in offshore oil and gas production,considering its potential impact on operational safety and efficiency.The accurate prediction of displacement and position of VIV in flexible risers remains challenging under actual marine conditions.This study presents a data-driven model for riser displacement prediction that corresponds to field conditions.Experimental data analysis reveals that the XGBoost algorithm predicts the maximum displacement and position with superior accuracy compared with Support vector regression(SVR),considering both computational efficiency and precision.Platform displacement in the Y-direction demonstrates a significant positive correlation with both axial depth and maximum displacement magnitude.The fourth point displacement exhibits the highest contribution to model prediction outcomes,showing a positive influence on maximum displacement while negatively affecting the axial depth of maximum displacement.Platform displacement in the X-and Y-directions exhibits competitive effects on both the riser’s maximum displacement and its axial depth.Through the implementation of XGBoost algorithm and SHapley Additive exPlanation(SHAP)analysis,the model effectively estimates the riser’s maximum displacement and its precise location.This data-driven approach achieves predictions using minimal,readily available data points,enhancing its practical field applications and demonstrating clear relevance to academic and professional communities.

文摘Mooring cable tension is a crucial parameter for evaluating the safety and reliability of a floating platform mooring system.The real-time mooring tension in an actual marine environment has always been essential data that mooring system designers aim to acquire.To address the need for long-term continuous monitoring of mooring tension in deep-sea marine environments,this paper presents a mooring cable tension monitoring method based on the principle of direct mechanical measurement.The developed tension monitoring sensors were installed and applied in the mooring system of the"Yongle"scientific experimental platform.Over the course of one year,a substantial amount of in-situ tension monitoring data was obtained.Under wave heights of up to 1.24 m,the mooring tension on the floating platform reached 16.5 tons.Through frequency domain and time domain analysis,the spectral characteristics of mooring tension,including waveinduced force,slow drift force,and mooring cable elastic restoring force,were determined.The mooring cable elastic restoring force frequency was approximately half of that of the wave signal.Due to the characteristics of the hinge connection structure of the dual module floating platform,under some specific working conditions the wave-induced force was the maximum of the three different frequency forces,and restoring force was the smallest.

Utilizing satellite imagery and aerial data, remote sensing allows researchers to assess the health and extent of mangrove forests over large areas and time periods, providing insights into changes due to environmental stressors like climate change, urbanization, and deforestation. Coupled with web-based platforms, this technology facilitates real-time data sharing and collaborative research efforts among scientists, policymakers, and conservationists. Thus, there is a need to grow this research interest among experts working in this kind of ecosystem. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the effective role of remote sensing and web-based platform in monitoring mangrove ecosystem. The research paper utilized the thematic approach to extract specific information to use in the discussion which helped realize the efficiency of digital monitoring for the environment. Web-based platforms and remote sensing represent a powerful tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in the context of forest ecosystems. They facilitate the accessibility of vital data, promote collaboration among stakeholders, support evidence-based policymaking, and engage communities in conservation efforts. As experts confront the urgent challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation, leveraging technology through web-based platforms is essential for fostering a sustainable future for the forests of the world.

文摘The well deployment in the Ordovician Yingshan Formation in the Gucheng area of the Tarim Basin mainly focuses on the inner gentle slope in the western part of the study area,which results in a low drilling success rate.To address this issue,this study focused on reconstructing sedimentary models and the adjustment strategies for oil and gas exploration.The carbonate sedimentary model of the Yingshan Formation was re-evaluated using the data of seismic interpretation,core observations,thin-section analyses,carbon isotopic composition,well logging,detrital zircon U-Pb dating,and carbonate mineral U-Pb dating.Then,the favorable sedimentary facies belts were delineated,and updated prospective exploration targets were proposed.The results demonstrate that the sedimentary model of the Yingshan Formation in the Gucheng area is characterized as a rimmed platform system,exhibiting an orderly west-to-east sedimentary sequence transition from restricted/open platform environments through the platform margin and slope settings,ultimately grading into basinal deposits.The platform margin,distinguished by thick successions of grain shoals overlain by interlayered karst zones,is the most favorable distribution area for large-scale reservoirs.Guided by this revised sedimentary model,Well Gutan-1 was successfully drilled within the outer platform margin,encountering over 90%high-energy grain shoal facies with well-developed porous and fractured-vuggy reservoirs,and achieving industrial oil and gas flow.It is confirmed that the platform margin is the priority area for oil and gas exploration in the Ordovician System of the Gucheng area,thereby effectively ending the prolonged exploration stagnation in the Yingshan Formation of the Gucheng area.
