采后热风与热水处理杀虫的水果温度场有限元模拟

热风和热水加热具有高效、环保且易于控制的优点,是一种替代化学熏蒸控制采后水果虫害的有效物理方法。但由于缺乏对加热速率、加热时间与温度分布等问题的深入与系统研究,常导致杀虫效果较差或对水果品质造成一定负面影响。为了研究水果采后热处理过程的传热机理,建立了水果热处理时的非稳态传热模型,利用有限元分析软件COMSOL建模求解,并进行了试验验证。结果表明,模拟值与实测值之间的均方根误差均低于8%,从而验证了模拟的可靠性。达到相同的热处理效果,水果热水(55℃)加热时的热处理时间仅为热风(55℃)的30%,所以热水是一种更有效的加热介质。增加热风的流速可以提高加热速率,而热水循环速度对传热速率影响较小。水果内部的传热速率主要受水果大小、介质流动速度和水果形状的影响,热扩散系数对水果加热时间的影响较小。所建立的水果传热模型及相关试验结果可为水果采后热杀虫工艺参数的确定及优化提供参考。     

互花米草厌氧发酵渣活性炭处理含镉废水的研究

采用静态吸附法,进行磷酸活化法不同剂料质量比（0.5～3.0）及活化温度（400～700℃）条件下制备的互花米草厌氧发酵渣活性炭对镉的吸附性能研究,考察不同初始浓度条件下活性炭对镉的平衡吸附量,旨在以吸附法治理含镉废水,探索吸附机理、影响因素、除镉吸附剂的最佳制备条件以及活性炭物化性质对镉吸附性能的影响。结果表明,镉的吸附性能与活性炭的制备条件有关,随着活化温度的升高,镉的吸附量逐渐增大,主要是因为高温条件下活性炭表面PO34-充当活性位点,促进镉的吸附。当剂料质量比为1.0,活化温度为700℃时,制备出的活性炭对镉的吸附性能最好,其最大吸附量可达38.91mg·g^-1,远远高于商业活性炭。镉的吸附量随着溶液初始浓度的增加而增大,吸附等温线符合Langmuir方程。溶液pH和活性炭表面化学性质是决定镉吸附量大小的决定性因素,当溶液pH在2～4时,各活性炭对镉的吸附能力随pH的增加而增加。本文为含镉废水的处理提供了一种低价高效的方法。     

冬季暖床对断奶仔猪躺卧行为的影响

为了了解新型局部加热设施——暖床在断奶仔猪舍内的使用情况,本文通过测量挂帘与不挂帘暖床内外的温度和定时观察仔猪在暖床内外的躺卧情况,以分析暖床挂帘与否对仔猪躺卧行为的影响。试验结果表明,当舍内温度维持在13.0℃时,挂帘暖床和未挂帘暖床内部温度分别达到28.6℃和17.9℃;当舍内温度低于9.9℃,仔猪日龄小于48日龄时,超过98.9％仔猪选择挂帘暖床躺卧。随着仔猪日龄的增长,仔猪在挂帘暖床内躺卧比例由98.9％～83.3％下降到35.6％～54.1％,在未挂帘暖床内躺卧比例由15.3％上升到41.1％,表明冬季暖床可为仔猪提供良好的躺卧环境。

利用废弃物互花米草厌氧发酵渣为原料,以H3PO4为活化剂,于N2保护下,在不同的活化温度（400~700℃）和剂料质量比（0.5~3.0）条件下制备活性炭,以低温液氮（N2/77.4 K）吸附测定活性炭的比表面积、孔容及孔径分布,以FTIR、pHPZC测定分析活性炭表面化学性质;以亚甲基蓝为特征污染物,考察所制备的活性炭成品的吸附能力。结果表明,随着剂料质量比的增大,活性炭孔径分布变宽,中孔所占比例增大;在所考察的活化温度范围内,活性炭N2吸附容量大小与BET比表面积呈现相同的趋势。活化温度为500℃、剂料质量比为2.0条件下所制备的活性炭对亚甲基蓝的吸附性能良好,最大吸附容量可达243.90 mg.g-1,符合Langmuir吸附等温模型。亚甲基蓝Langmuir最大吸附容量与活性炭BET比表面积存在一定的线性关系。该活性炭制备方法为互花米草厌氧发酵渣的综合利用找到了新的途径。     

厌氧发酵反应器一维稳态传热模型的建立与验证

在北方高寒地区,采取适当的加热及保温措施,确保沼气厌氧发酵所需的稳定温度,是关系到沼气工程冬季能否正常运行的关键所在。厌氧发酵反应器传热耗热量是沼气发酵料液加热系统设计的最基本的数据,它直接影响着加热系统方案的选择、供热管道管径和加热器等主要设备的确定。该文在稳态传热理论的基础上,通过对集厌氧发酵和沼气收集为一体式的全地上反应器传热过程的理论分析,建立了一维稳态传热模型,并通过试验对传热模型进行了修正和验证。结果表明,通过模型计算得到的模拟值与实际值在统计上没有明显差异,传热模型可用于反应器耗热量的计算。这为今后大型沼气工程中厌氧发酵反应器热负荷的计算和反应器能耗的预测提供了依据。     

无烟煤活性炭对酸碱性不同染料废水的吸附研究

采用人工模拟配置一定浓度的染料废水,研究不同吸附剂量无烟煤活性炭对2种不同转速﹑温度、pH染料的吸附效果。结果表明:对于浓度为100mg/L的品红和甲基蓝染料废水,适宜的吸附条件为:温度25℃,活性炭用量1.77g/L,pH分别为7.0和5.0,转速120r/min,吸附60min。在上述条件下可以去除94.0%品红染料和99.0%甲基蓝染料。对吸附2种染料前后的无烟煤活性炭进行元素和红外光谱分析证明该活性炭对2种染料存在吸附作用。因此,本研究结果表明利用该无烟煤活性炭可作为一定浓度上述2种类型染料废水的吸附剂使用。

时间和温度对活性炭与板栗壳吸附铜锌铅镉的影响

随着工业化和城市化进程的加快,废水排放引起的水环境重金属污染问题越来越突出,去除污水中的重金属成为水环境保护的重要内容之一。本文选取活性炭与板栗壳作为吸附剂,研究在不同的时间及温度下,这2种吸附剂对废水中的Cu2+、Zn2+、Pb2+、Cd2+的吸附性能影响。研究发现,活性炭作为吸附剂时,Cu2+吸附量最大是在0.5 h时,Zn2+是在3 h时,Pb2+和Cd2+则是1 h时;用板栗壳吸附时,Cu2+和Pb2+吸附量最大在1 h,Zn2+是在1 h时,Cd2+则是0.5 h时。吸附剂为活性炭或板栗壳,温度对Zn2+的吸附率影响都不大;吸附Cu2+时,活性炭受温度的影响大于板栗壳,其吸附率随温度的升高而减小;Pb2+和Cd2+的吸附受温度影响明显,均是40℃时吸附率较高,但板栗壳>活性炭,且Cd2+>Pb2+。

Pasture Vegetation Elemental Analysis by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing.

Biodiversity and ecogeography of wild Lactuca spp. in some European countries

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions.     

Macroinvertebrates in North American tallgrass prairie soils: effects of fire, mowing, and fertilization on density and biomass

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils.     

Properties of anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste assessed by linking soil mesofauna dynamics and nitrogen modelling

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass, soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration, N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially (<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils, indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea.

Variation in quality parameters between and within 14 Nordic tree fruit and berry species

Abstract

A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species.     

Potassium Fixation and Release Characteristics in Rhizosphere and Nonrhizosphere Soils for a Rapeseed–Rice Cropping Sequence

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L^?1 nitric acid (HNO₃) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L^?1 ammonium acetate (NH₄OAc) and 1.0 mol L^?1 HNO₃ extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils.
