两种石油烃降解菌的鉴定及其对石油烃底物的降解

采用16SrDNA技术对石油污染场地筛选出的两种单菌(A6菌和A10菌)进行鉴定,并对两种单菌及其混合菌降解石油烃各组分的效果进行了研究。结果表明,两种单菌分别为假单胞菌(Pseudomonas sp.)和无色杆菌(Achromobacter sp.)。两种单菌及其混合菌对石油烃的降解有所差异,其降解效果依次为混合菌A6菌A10菌。其中A6菌和A10菌对石油烃底物降解的组分大致相同,两者均能完全降解大部分直链烷烃、环烷烃和支链烷烃,部分降解C9~C27正构烷烃。从降解程度来看,A6菌优于A10菌。两种单菌的混合菌在降解石油烃底物时,具有协同降解作用,对石油烃底物降解的组分及降解程度均优于两种单菌;混合菌除了能完全降解大部分直链烷烃、环烷烃和支链烷烃外,还对A6菌和A10菌不能彻底降解的支链烷烃(3,8-二甲基癸烷和2-甲基-十二烷)完全降解。     

原油及油制品中多环芳烃化学指纹的分布规律研究

利用原油及油制品中的多环芳烃(PAHs)化学指纹特征进行溢油鉴别是确定海上溢油事故污染源的重要技术.使用气相色谱一质谱联用方法测定了汽油E90#、汽油E93#、润滑油150SN、轻柴油-10#、柴油5#、重柴油180#、重柴油380#、俄罗斯原油及大庆原油的PAHs化学指纹图谱.结果表明,在各种PAHs中,萘(Nap)、2-甲基萘(2-MN)和1-甲基萘(1-MN)的含量最高,三者总和占52%～86%(质量分数,下同).轻质油(汽油、轻柴油、柴油和润滑油)和重质油(原油和重柴油)的化学指纹图谱存在明显差异:重质油中2-MN平均为28%,轻质油中Nap平均为42%.Nap/2-MN(Nap与2-MN质量比,以下各物质表述意义同)和Nap/1-MN的比值关系区分的趋势类似,并且存在典型的线性相关性(R=0.92,p<0.01).表明原油及油制品中的Nap、1-MN和2=MN的含量相对固定,使用Nap/2-MN和Nap/1-MN比值方法鉴别油类品种具有较高的可靠性.应用主成分分析方法对9种油样的PAHs化学指纹特征进行了分析,结果表明该方法是一种有效和有潜力的溢油鉴别方法.     

鼠李糖脂与菌剂对原油污染土壤的联合修复

为研究RL强化MI修复原油污染土壤的效果,通过盆栽实验,测定了修复过程中微生物、脱氢酶、原油降解率和正构烷烃等变化。结果表明,提取RL具有良好表面和乳化活性。修复过程中微生物数目、脱氢酶和石油降解率具有相关性。RL+MI联合修复对原油的降解效果最显著,第14、21和28天的降解率分别达67.6%、78.6%和81.3%,较MI和RL处理分别提高了22%~24%和32%~38%;细菌、放线菌和霉菌最高生物量分别比CK提高约20、5.8和4.7倍;GC-MS示修复14 d后∑C21-/∑C22+(1.334)和Pr/Ph(1.152)均大于CK,说明降解早期具有高碳正构烷烃、奇数烷烃的降解优势以及对类异戊二烯烷烃的降解。     

改性秸秆吸附微生物对土壤中石油烃降解及演化特征的影响

以甲基丙烯酸丁酯-苯乙烯改性玉米秸秆(BMGS)为载体吸附微生物对油污土壤进行了模拟降解实验,研究BMGS作为菌剂载体对油污土壤的降解效果,同时利用GC-MS指纹图谱深入分析TPH(total petroleum hydrocarbon)的重要组分——正构烷烃的降解演化规律和特性。结果表明:BMGS具有较高吸油能力(10.3 g·g~(-1)),大于原秸秆(RMS)5.7 g·g~(-1);在3%含油量的油污土壤中,加入用BMGS吸附的菌剂的降解半衰期(14.8 d)均短于空白与用原秸秆(RMS)吸附的半衰期(36.1 d和33.0 d)。降解演化特性表明,2种秸秆RMS与BMGS材料对正构烷烃降解的促进作用依次提高,主峰碳数均出现前移,且BMGS的效果更为明显。加入BMGS后有利于菌剂降解较难降解的偶碳数正构烷烃和类异戊二烯烷烃,并且在降解前、后期,对低、高碳数正构烷烃的降解优势完成增效作用,高碳数正构烷烃平均降解率达到91.25%,较好地解释BMGS吸附菌剂后可以缩短降解TPH半衰期及提高降解率的原因。

南京市大气气溶胶中颗粒物和正构烷烃特征及来源分析

于2002年夏季（7月）和冬季（12月）采集南京市5个功能区的大气气溶胶（PM2．5和PM10）样品，对两个季节不同功能区颗粒物及其颗粒物中正构烷烃的分布特征和污染来源进行了分析。结果表明，南京市大气颗粒物含量冬季高于夏季，细颗粒高于粗颗粒。正构烷烃的变化规律同颗粒物一致，且主要分布在细颗粒物上。根据各个功能区正构烷烃（C15-C32）的CPI（CPI1、CPI2和CPI3）结果，可知南京市大气气溶胶中正构烷烃由生物源和人为源共同排放产生。％waxCn的结果表明生物源对气溶胶中正构烷烃的贡献率为20％～43％，对南京市大气颗粒物的贡献率为1．66％～4．76％。

东莞市大气PM_(10)、PM_(2.5)、PM_1中多环芳烃/正构烷烃的污染特征和来源解析

2011年8月—2012年7月间于东莞市生活区(NC)点和工业区(ZT)点采集大气PM10/PM2.5/PM1样品,并检测分析了颗粒物上的多环芳烃(PAHs)和正构烷烃。粒径分布结果显示,PAHs和正构烷烃均主要富集在PM1上,而正构烷烃富集程度更高。PAHs环数分析结果显示,PM1中主导PAHs为6环,PM1~2.5和PM2.5~10中则为4环。利用特定比值法分析PAHs来源,结果表明,生活区NC点大气颗粒物中PAHs主要来自汽油车尾气、天然气燃烧、燃煤源和烹饪源,而工业区ZT点则主要来自柴油车尾气、燃煤和木材燃烧。通过主峰碳数、碳优势指数、植物蜡贡献率等方法分析正构烷烃来源,结果表明,化石燃料燃烧是东莞市大气颗粒物中正构烷烃的主要贡献源,其次是高等植物蜡排放,贡献率约为10.9%~28.9%。化石燃料燃烧源贡献率对PM1的贡献率明显较PM1~2.5和PM2.5~10高。     

Search for chlorobornanes in river sediments and in influents and effluents

In 1997, we collected nine river sediment samples, including one duplicate, from above and below three pulp and paper mills on the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin, USA, and one mill on Beaver Dam Creek in Ontario, Canada. We also obtained twenty split sediment samples from the Wisconsin River that were collected by the US EPA in collaboration with Indiana University. Finally, we collected influent and effluent samples from eight pulp and paper related industries in the US and Canada. We analyzed all sediment and water samples for hexa- through decachlorobornanes. We did not detect any chlorobornanes in most of the sediments. When chlorobornanes were detected, the concentration in sediments below pulp mills were similar to or less than in those from above the same mills. Chlorobornanes could not be detected in any of the influent or effluent samples. Thus, pulp and paper mills and relate facilities are not a source of chlorobornanes.     

Occurrence and treatment of arsenic in groundwater and soil in northern Mexico and southwestern USA

This review focuses on the occurrence and treatment of arsenic (As) in the arid region of northern Mexico (states of Chihuahua and Coahuila) and bordering states of the southwestern US (New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas), an area known for having high As concentrations. Information assembled and assessed includes the content and probable source of As in water, soil, and sediments and treatment methods that have been applied in the area. High As concentrations were found mainly in groundwater, their source being mostly from natural origin related to volcanic processes with significant anthropogenic contributions near mining and smelting of ores containing arsenic. The affinity of As for solid phases in alkaline conditions common to arid areas precludes it from being present in surface waters, accumulating instead in sediments and shifting its threat to its potential remobilization in reservoir sediments and irrigation waterways. Factors such as oxidation and pH that affect the mobility of As in the subsurface environment are mentioned. Independent of socio-demographic variables, nutritional status, and levels of blood lead, cognitive development in children is being affected when exposed to As. Treatments known to effectively reduce As content to safe drinking water levels as well as those that are capable of reducing As content in soils are discussed. Besides conventional methods, emergent technologies, such as phytoremediation, offer a viable solution to As contamination in drinking water.     

Accumulation in and effects of lead and cadmium on waterfowl and passerines in northern Idaho

Waterfowl and passerines in northern Idaho in 1987 had high levels of lead in their blood and tissues that originated primarily from mining and smelting activities. Four Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and one common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) found dead contained 8 to 38 microg/g (wet mass) of lead in their livers. These levels exceed the lower lethal limit of 5 microg/g in experimental birds. Two of the Canada geese (one each from the contaminated and reference areas) died with ingested lead shotgun pellets (shot) in their gizzards, whereas the other three birds from the contaminated area contained no ingested shot and evidently died from ingesting environmental lead in sediment or biota. Lead burdens in most American robins (Turdus migratorius) and mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were high, whereas those in tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) were slightly elevated. Lead accumulated to potentially hazardous levels in blood and tissues of some nestling robins (maxima of 0.87 microg/g in blood and 5.6 microg/g in liver) and mallards (maxima of 10.2 microg/g in blood and 2.8 microg/g in liver). In mallards, lead levels and associated physiological characteristics of blood were significantly different in juveniles (HY) versus adults (AHY). Activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) was about 87 to 95% lower than values for control birds in experimental studies. Activity of ALAD was significantly inversely correlated with blood lead levels. Cadmium was detected in kidneys of most birds, but even the maximum concentration of 7.5 microg/g in an AHY mallard was below known harmful levels.

Pinonaldehyde and some other organics in rain and snow in central Japan.

Solvent-extractable organic compounds in the rain and snow collected at local cities in the mountainous region in central Japan, were analyzed by GC/MS and GC. Pinonaldehyde (2,2-dimethyl-3-acetyl-cyclobutyl-ethanal), an atmospheric reaction product of alpha-pinene, was detected in the rain and snow for the first time, and n-alkanes (C17-C33), fatty acids (C8-C23), and benzoic acid were also detected as major organic components. Concentrations of pinonaldehyde, C17-C33 n-alkanes, C8-C11 fatty acids, C12-C23 fatty acids and benzoic acid ranged between <0.02-13, 0.10-35, 0.55-5.7, 4.2-19 and <0.02-6.0 microg/l, respectively. Their composition showed some difference in summer and winter. In summer, fatty acids and benzoic acid were more abundant, while pinonaldehyde and n-alkanes were much less. Higher photochemical reactivity and higher bioactivity in summer could explain these seasonal changes except for pinonaldehyde, which would suffer from further oxidation in the atmosphere after its photochemical production from alpha-pinene. Predominance of pinonaldehyde and C12-C23 fatty acids in the rain and snow showed a remarkable contrast to n-alkanes in aerosol phase, which were the most abundant components. It indicated that oxygenated products from biogenic compounds might be important as cloud condensation nuclei in forest areas.     

Fungi and bacteria in mould-damaged and non-damaged office environments in a subarctic climate

The fungi and bacterial levels of the indoor air environments of 77 office buildings were measured in winter and a comparison was made between the buildings with microbe sources in their structures and those without such sources. Penicillium, yeasts, Cladosporium and non-sporing isolates were the commonest fungi detected in the indoor air and in settled dust, in both the mould-damaged and control buildings. Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus glaucus and Stachybotrys chartarium were found only in environmental samples from the mould-damaged buildings. Some other fungi, with growth requiring of water activity, a_w, above 0.85, occurred in both the reference and mould-damaged buildings, but such fungi were commoner in the latter type of buildings. The airborne concentrations of Penicillium, Aspergillus versicolor and yeasts were the best indicators of mould damage in the buildings studied. Penicillium species and A. versicolor were also the most abundant fungi in the material samples. This study showed that the fungi concentrations were very low (2–45 cfu m⁻³ 90% of the concentrations being <15 cfu m⁻³) in the indoor air of the normal office buildings. Although the concentration range of airborne fungi was wider for the mould-damaged buildings (2–2470 cfu m⁻³), only about 20% of the samples exceeded 100 cfu m⁻³. The concentrations of airborne bacteria ranged from 12 to 540 cfu m⁻³ in the control buildings and from 14 to 1550 cfu m⁻³ in the mould-damaged buildings. A statistical analysis of the results indicated that bacteria levels are generally <600 cfu m⁻³ in office buildings in winter and fungi levels are <50 cfu m⁻³. These normal levels are applicable to subarctic climates for urban, modern office buildings when measurements are made using a six-stage impactor. These levels should not be used in evaluations of health risks, but elevated levels may indicate the presence of abnormal microbe sources in indoor air and a need for additional environmental investigations.     

Total mercury and mercury species in birds and fish in an aquatic ecosystem in the Czech Republic

Total mercury and mercury species (methylmercury-MeHg, inorganic mercury--Hg(2+)) were determined in the aquatic ecosystem Záhlinice (Czech Republic). Four tissues (muscle, intestines, liver and kidney) of three bird species--cormorant, great crested grebe and Eurasian buzzard, muscle tissues of common carp, grass carp, northern pike, goldfish, common tench, perch and rudd, aquatic plants (reed mace and common reed), sediments and water were analysed. Relative contents of MeHg (of total Hg) were in the range from 71% to 94% and from 15% up to 62% in the muscle and intestines and in liver, respectively, for all birds. Statistically significant differences were found between contents of MeHg in liver tissues of young and adult cormorant populations (F(4.60)=56.71, P<10(-5)). Relative contents of MeHg in muscle tissues of fishes were in the range from 65.1% to 87.9% of total Hg.     

Photodegradation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in aqueous solutions and in organic solvents

Aqueous solutions of selected polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were prepared using a generator column and exposed to UV (300 nm) light in the laboratory and to sunlight in an outdoor environment. In the laboratory, additional exposures were also carried out using 60% acetonitrile/water solutions. At 300 nm di- and tetra PCDDs had higher first-order photodegradation rate constants in 60% acetonitrile/water than in pure water. The solvent effect was reversed for PCDFs. These results may be a reflection of the higher polarity of PCDFs compared to PCDDs. In both the indoor and outdoor exposures photodegradation rates decreased with increasing concentrations of chlorination. However, OCDF exposed to 300 nm light in 60% acetonitrile/water and to sunlight in pure water photodegraded more rapidly than tetra CDF. Photolysis rates in sunlight were considerably slower (t(1/2) of 6.4-23 h) than photolysis rates at 300 nm in the laboratory (t(1/2) of 4.3-680 min), reflecting the lower intensity of sunlight in the 300 nm region of the UV/Vis spectrum. The extent of dechlorination of the PCDDs/PCDFs was less than 20% and reductive dechlorination does not appear to be a major process in the photodegradation of PCDDs/PCDFs in aqueous solutions.     

Flotation in water and wastewater treatment and reuse: recent trends in Brazil

This paper summarises environmental applications of conventional and unconventional flotation to remove pollutants from waters. Emphasis is given to the design features of innovative inline reactors, namely the Flocs Generator Reactor and Flocculation-Flotation, and their applications for the flocculation and flotation in solid-liquid separations involving water (and wastewater) treatment and reuse. Applications are shown in potable water clarification, treatment and water reuse from car washing units and in the treatment of acid mine drainage. Results show that these inline flocculation (or flotation) separators have a great potential for water/wastewater treatment and reuse, especially in applications requiring high rate solid-liquid separations.
