Stable isotopes were used to constrain the origin of CO2 involved in the ageing process of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash under open-air conditions. The δ13C and δ18O values of CaCO3 occurring in MSWI bottom ash samples of variable age and the δ13C of the residual organic matter content were measured, and laboratory assessments made of the isotopic fractionation accompanying CaCO3 neo-formation during accelerated carbonation experiments of bottom ash or pure lime with atmospheric or industrial CO2. The results indicate that stable isotopic compositions exhibited by fresh and aged bottom ash samples reflect non-equilibrium processes resembling those described in the carbonation of concrete and mortar. They also lead to conclusions on the prevalent involvement of atmospheric CO2 in the open-air carbonation of MSWI bottom ash. 相似文献
This paper presents a new type of rainfall retrieval algorithm, called the model-oriented statistical and Volterra integration. It is a combination of the model-oriented statistical (MOS) and Volterra integral equation (VIE) approaches. The steps involved in this new algorithm can be briefly illustrated as follows. Firstly, information such as the start point and width of the rain is obtained through pre-analysis of the data received by synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Secondly, the VIE retrieval algorithm is employed over a short distance to obtain information on the shape of the rain. Finally, the rain rate can be calculated by using the MOS retrieval algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and simple, and can lead to time savings of nearly 50% compared with MOS. An example of application of SAR data is also discussed, involving the retrieval of precipitation information over the South China Sea. 相似文献
The aim of this study was to conduct flood analysis with digital modeling systems and estimate the total flood damage in a built-up area. The Ceviz Stream basin, which is located in Unye (Ordu) district in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, was selected as the study area. A 1D/2D coupled flood modeling software MIKE FLOOD was used in flood analysis. According to the modeling results, water depth and velocity maps are produced for maximum Q50, Q100, Q500 and Q1000 discharge scenarios in the most downstream section of the Ceviz Stream. At the projected Q50, Q100, Q500 and Q1000 maximum flow rates, approximately 9.75%, 23.0%, 30.0% and 32.25% of that section of the study area were estimated to be negatively affected by floodwaters. In order to examine the financial magnitude of the effects of flooding, the Huizinga, van Eck and Kok, ICBR and Pistrika and Jonkman damage estimation methodologies were applied, with the highest financial costs estimated with the Pistrika and Jonkman method.
