Investigation and Evaluation on Water Environment Quality of Xiawan Reservoir and Its Adjacent Waters in Zhaoqing

Town Planning Board of Zhaoqing passed the Planning and Design of Xiawan Urban Wetland Park in Zhaoqing City in 2012,and Xiawan Reservoir,located at the junction of Duanzhou District and Dinghu District,would be built into a wetland park at that time.To understand water quality status near the wetland park,according to relevant requirements of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment:Surface Water Environment(HJ/T 2.3-93),the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water(GB 3838-2002),and the Technical Specification for Environmental Monitoring issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration,Xiawan Reservoir,Houlichong and the Xijiang River were investigated,monitored and evaluated.

Heavy Metal Pollution and Ecological Risk Assessment in Sediments of Xiling Channel Inland Waterway of Guangdong Province

Using the sediment monitoring data of five sections of the Xiling Channel inland waterway of the Pearl River Delta,and using Nemerow composite index,the coefficient of variation,and the index of geoaccumulation( Igeo) and the potential ecological risk index,this paper analyzed and assessed the heavy metal pollution of sediments. The results indicate that Cr reached mild pollution;Cu had a large degree of variation,and the changes of Cr and Zn were significant with fluctuation;the enrichment of heavy metals decreased as follows: Cd > Cu > Cr > Zn> Pb > Ni > Hg > As;Cd had the highest degree of enrichment and belonged to moderate pollution;the ecological hazard of heavy metals was Cd > Hg > Cu > Pb > As > Cr > Ni > Zn,and Cd had the highest ecological hazard and was the main controlling factor of potential ecological risk. In conclusion,the sediments in Xiling Channel inland waterway were polluted by heavy metals to some extent,and cadmium was the main pollutant and had the largest potential ecological risk.

Ecological Investigation and Ecological Security Assessment of Xizhijiang River Basin in Huizhou City of Guangdong Province

In addition to such ecological problems as the pollution of the water system,the unreasonable structure of the upstream Basin and the insufficient water conservation forests,the Xizhi River Basin also faces human decision-making problems such as imperfect ecological compensation mechanism.In view of the above problems,using the DPSIR model(Drivers,Pressures,States,Impacts,Responses),this paper analyzed eucalyptus forest in Xizhi River Basin to assess the security of the Xizhi River ecological Basin,and finally concluded that the ecological status of Xizhi River Basin remains safe.

Research and Analysis of Regional Ecological Positioning in Planning Environmental Impact Assessment

The regional ecological positioning of one area is based on the region’s ecological orientation by the country or a larger region.Combined with the region’s natural geographical features,ecological background,main ecological problems,regional ecological structure,pattern,process,function and service,etc.,the position of a certain area in ecological space,structure,process,function and service,etc.is determined through the analysis and research.Regional ecological positioning is an important prerequisite and core basis for regional ecological impact assessment.However,in the current regional ecological impact assessment,most of them have not analyzed and studied the regional ecological positioning.Due to the lack of research on regional ecological positioning,it is rare to apply the research results of regional ecological positioning to the establishment of regional ecological objectives and the construction of index system.Regional ecological positioning does not guide the direction of regional ecological protection and construction well,and there is a general tendency of regional ecological positioning being one-sided and slogan-based.This paper analyzes the necessity and importance of research of regional ecological positioning,puts forward the technology framework of study on regional ecological positioning.With regional ecological positioning research in planning ecological impact assessment of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone as an example,how to carry out the study on the regional ecological positioning and how to apply the results of the study on the regional ecological positioning in regional ecological impact assessment are explained and illustrated.

Water Environmental Impact Assessment and Analysis of Foshan Brewery Project

In recent years, the beer industry is a biological food industry that consumes a lot of water, and it has developed rapidly in China. The sewage discharged from the mass production of beer poses a huge threat to the environment. In order to evaluate and better solve the possible environmental impacts of beer treatment engineering projects, a brewery project in Foshan City is taken as an example to investigate the water pollution generation links of the engineering process including surface water and groundwater. According to the relevant technical methods and standards, water pollution factors are screened, and concentration and discharge are monitored. Through comprehensive analysis, predictive evaluation is obtained. It is confirmed that the project meets the requirements of national laws and regulations and environmental protection standards.

Removal Effect of Nitrifying Bacteria on Ammonia Nitrogen in Water

[Objectives]To investigate the removal effect of nitrifying bacteria on ammonia nitrogen in water.[Methods]In this experiment,the treated water(referred to as raw water hereinafter)from the Changping Town Qiaoli Water Treatment Project in Dongguan City of Guangdong Province was used as the experimental water body,and the nitrifying bacteria liquid used in the project was taken as the experimental material,to explore the removal effect of the nitrifying bacteria liquid on the ammonia nitrogen in the water body.[Results]Under the condition that other variables remain unchanged,the more the amount of nitrifying bacteria liquid added,the higher the removal efficiency of nitrifying bacteria liquid;under the same conditions,the removal effect of ammonia nitrogen in a stirred water body is better than that in an unstirred water body;the removal effect of ammonia nitrogen in a water body with bio-media/carriers is better than that without bio-media/carriers.[Conclusions]Nitrifying bacteria have a better removal effect on the ammonia nitrogen in the water body.

Hydrogeochemical and mineralogical characteristics related to heavy metal attenuation in a stream polluted by acid mine drainage:A case study in Dabaoshan Mine,China

Dabaoshan Mine,the largest mine in south China,has been developed since the 1970s.Acid mine drainage （AMD） discharged from the mine has caused severe environmental pollution and human health problems.In this article,chemical characteristics,mineralogy of ocher precipitations and heavy metal attenuation in the AMD are discussed based on physicochemical analysis,mineral analysis,sequential extraction experiments and hydrogeochemistry.The AMD chemical characteristics were determined from the initial water composition,water-rock interactions and dissolved sulfide minerals in the mine tailings.The waters,affected and unaffected by AMD,were Ca-SO4 and Ca-HCO3 types,respectively.The affected water had a low pH,high SO42 and high heavy metal content and oxidation as determined by the Fe^2＋ /Fe^3＋ couple.Heavy metal and SO4^2- contents of Hengshi River water decreased,while pH increased,downstream.Schwertmannite was the major mineral at the waste dump,while goethite and quartz were dominant at the tailings dam and streambed.Schwertmannite was transformed into goethite at the tailings dam and streambed.The sulfate ions of the secondary minerals changed from bidentate-to monodentate-complexes downstream.Fe-Mn oxide phases of Zn,Cd and Pb in sediments increased downstream.However,organic matter complexes of Cu in sediments increased further away from the tailings.Fe^3＋ mineral precipitates and transformations controlled the AMD water chemistry.
