影响大气汞化学过程的敏感因子分析

为了分析汞在大气中的化学行为,在一个化学模式中加入汞的气相、气液平衡和液相反应,模拟大气汞及其化合物的演变规律,并分析了气象因子(云、光解率、温度)和化学因子(气态O3、H2O2、HO2、OH和气态零价汞Hg0(g))的初始体积分数对各形态汞及其化合物浓度和Hg0(g)转化率的影响.模拟结果表明,在中等大气污染条件下,Hg0(g)的每小时平均转化率为2.91%.敏感性试验结果表明,云量、光解率、温度、O3和Hg0(g)的初始体积分数对不同形态汞的影响较为显著.云量的增加、光解率的增加、臭氧初始体积分数的升高,各形态汞的平衡时间缩短,除气态氧化汞和一价汞离子外,其他形态汞的平衡浓度均会降低,Hg0(g)的转化率增加.温度增加将抑制Hg0(g)的转化.Hg0(g)的初始体积分数增加,各形态汞的浓度升高,但其平均转化率没有显著变化.不同因子对汞化学过程的相对作用对区域或全球大气汞的环境模拟具有指导意义.     

三峡水库消落带土壤与优势植物淹水后对土-水系统汞形态的影响

三峡库区消落带落干期植被生长茂盛,蓄水后消落带被淹没,土壤-植物系统在长时间淹水情况下,随着体系内物理化学性质的改变,汞形态也会发生变化,从而对库区水生生态系统中汞含量以及形态带来一定的影响.为此,本研究选取三峡库区4种优势植物室内栽培,再进行室内模拟淹水试验,研究淹水后土壤、水体中甲基汞(Me Hg)以及其他形态汞的变化.结果表明,淹水过程中植物的存在有利于土壤Me Hg的生成,同时对上覆水不同形态汞浓度影响显著.狗牙根作为消落带优势种,由于其体内总汞及甲基汞含量较高,淹水后对土壤以及上覆水系统中甲基汞以及其他汞形态的影响最为明显.淹水第90 d,狗牙根+土+江水(B1)处理土壤Me Hg的含量最高,为(1 135.86±113.84)ng·kg~(-1),是不加植物的对照处理土+江水(CK2)中土壤Me Hg含量的2倍左右;上覆水总甲基汞(TMe Hg)、溶解态甲基汞(DMe Hg)、总汞(THg)、溶解态汞(DHg)和活性汞(RHg)均呈峰值偏左的抛物线状变化,在第30 d时达到峰值,其中B1处理上覆水TMe Hg、THg和DHg最高,分别为(2.88±0.06)、(40.29±2.42)和(35.51±3.77)ng·L~(-1),三者中溶解态汞是其主要存在形式.因此可以推测三峡库区消落带植物淹水后将增加水库汞污染负荷.     

城市管道煤气生产中汞的分布特征

采用二次金汞齐 -冷原子吸收光谱法对贵阳市城市民用管道煤气中汞含量进行了测定。对煤气生产中使用的洗精煤及生产过程中产生的化学产品焦碳、煤焦油、焦炉煤气脱硫洗涤物硫浆中汞含量和分布进行了初步研究。管道煤气中汞的含量低于方法检测限 0 .0 5ng/m3,低于贵阳市大气中汞含量。在原煤转化为城市管道煤气过程中 ,原煤的洗选过程脱除了 70 %的汞 ;焦碳中汞含量占洗精煤汞含量的 1 1 .4 % ;焦油中汞含量占洗精煤中汞的 1 2 .6 % ;硫浆的生成过程脱除了煤气生产用洗精煤中 50 %的汞。     

北京城郊燃煤汞排放及其对当地空气环境的影响

为了解生活用煤汞含量水平,分析生活燃煤给当地环境空气中ρ(Hg)带来的影响,使用Lumex RA915+/M测汞仪,现场在线监测了北京市大兴区46户居民家庭燃煤炉口上方空气和村庄环境空气中的ρ(Hg),并对民用蜂窝煤及煤渣样品中的w(Hg)进行了实验室分析. 结果表明:燃煤炉口上方25 cm处空气中ρ(Hg)为20.4~4 583.5 ng/m3,平均值为823.9 ng/m3(n=46);村庄环境空气中ρ(Hg)为5~13 ng/m3,高于当地背景值(1~3 ng/m3);民用蜂窝煤样品中w(Hg)的平均值为326.6 ng/g(n=46),显著高于我国工业原煤中w(Hg)平均值(约150 ng/g);生活燃煤汞排放率达到99.76%,高于电厂等工业燃煤汞排放率. 鉴于生活用煤多为富汞的劣质煤,其w(Hg)及汞排放率远高于工业用煤,并且室内空气污染对人体健康的危害更为直接,因此,生活燃煤造成的汞污染问题应得到更大的重视.      

烟煤地下气化过程中硫的转化规律研究

在烟煤炭地下气化模型试验的基础上,研究了气化炉温度、气化工艺等对硫转化的影响;在纯氧气化工艺条件下,煤气中含硫气体的形态和含量主要受温度的影响,产生的H2S浓度在600～700℃达到最大值为7400mg·m-3,SO2在1000℃时达到最大值为270 mg·m-3.在纯氧-水蒸气工艺阶段,煤气中的含硫气体形态主要受煤气中氢气含量的影响,但在纯氧-水蒸气工艺后期,含硫气体量又转变为温度的函数.煤炭地下气化过程中,煤中的硫大部分以含硫气体的形式分布在煤气中;只有小部分硫分布在灰渣、焦油和冷凝水中.     

不同煤种对烟气中汞的形态和分布的影响

采用化学热平衡分析方法研究了不同煤种燃烧过程中汞元素的化学形态及其分布.选用的煤种为唐山烟煤、高平无烟煤、贵州六盘水贫煤、小龙潭褐煤、印尼褐煤及宜昌褐煤6个煤样,在50~700℃温度范围内,比较讨论了不同煤样在氧化性气氛中汞的化学形态和物理相.结果表明:烟气温度较低时,原煤中S元素含量对烟气中汞的形态和分布的影响占主导地位;而原煤中Cl-含量越多,低温时最容易实现从HgSO4到HgCl2的转化,高温时最难实现从HgCl2到单质Hg的转化;相对于其它煤种,S和Cl元素在褐煤燃烧过程中的这种影响相对弱些.     

农村分散式燃煤汞排放及周边环境汞污染研究——以贵州省厂头村为例

贵州省燃煤中汞含量较高,在贵州省农村分散式燃煤的使用是个普遍现象。为了解煤在分散式燃烧过程中造成的汞排放及其对周边环境的影响,本研究选取江南煤都贵州省具有代表性的高汞含量煤产区,黔西南州兴仁市厂头村为研究区,对农户所用煤和燃烧过程中的炉渣、烟气以及周边农用地表层土壤样品中的汞含量进行了分析,同时监测了当地农户室内和室外空气汞浓度变化。结果表明,研究区农户煤中汞含量为0. 34±0. 18 mg/kg,炉渣中汞含量为0. 13±0. 10 mg/kg,烟气中汞含量为23±16μg/m~3。研究区的土壤中总汞(THg)和甲基汞(MeHg)的含量分别为0. 37±0. 08 mg/kg和0. 64±0. 35μg/kg,THg与MeHg之间呈显著正相关(r=0. 375,P0. 05)。土壤总汞浓度低于土壤环境质量标准总汞风险筛选值。地累积指数法风险评价结果显示,研究区土壤总汞和甲基汞污染指数分别为0. 18±0. 33和0. 15±0. 79,存在一定的汞污染风险。     

贵阳市小型燃煤锅炉烟气中汞的形态及释放

选择贵阳市某厂的1台安装有湿法脱硫除尘的燃煤锅炉,研究湿法脱硫除尘前后燃煤烟气中颗粒态汞(Hgp)、氧化态汞(Hg2+)、原子态汞(Hg0)以及总汞(Hgt)的含量和形态分布。结果显示,湿法脱硫除尘后的颗粒态汞、氧化态汞、原子态汞分别约占总汞的10 4%,6 0%,83 6%。湿法脱硫除尘器对氧化态汞与颗粒态汞有很好的去除效率(分别为87 9%,76 1%),而对原子态汞的去除效率较差(为30 4%)。由于对该锅炉的年燃煤量统计有一定的误差以及烟气采样分析方法本身存在的误差,该锅炉输出的总汞略大于输入的总汞,质量平衡结果为:输出输入=103 6%～107 4%。煤经过燃烧后,总汞的释放因子为:41 7%残留在底灰中,65 7%进入烟气中,其中经过湿法脱硫除尘器的净化,26 7%的汞随除尘废水排放到水环境中,7 8%存在于经过除尘后的渣中,25 05%随清洁烟气释放到大气中。      

脱硫废水添加对煤燃烧时汞析出特性的影响

为探究含氯脱硫废水溶液添加对煤燃烧时汞析出特性的影响,分别利用沉降炉和管式炉实验装置进行了3种煤在1200℃下的燃烧实验。实验时通过改变模拟脱硫废水溶液的添加量来控制燃煤中氯的质量分数分别为0.00%、0.02%、0.04%和0.06%。分析煤燃烧后烟气中汞浓度、吸收液、飞灰和煤灰中汞含量的变化情况发现:随着加氯量的增加,烟气中Hg0浓度逐渐降低,Hg2+浓度则逐渐升高,但对Hgt（气态总汞）浓度的提升效果相对较差。当加氯量为0.06%时,煤种B在沉降炉中燃烧后烟气中Hg0浓度下降约2.3 μg/m3,而Hg2+浓度提高约2.6 μg/m3,但Hgt浓度仅提高了0.3 μg/m3。氯的添加也会使飞灰中汞含量增加,煤灰中汞含量降低。通过综合对比分析沉降炉和管式炉实验结果发现:无论是否添加氯,煤在沉降炉中燃烧后烟气中Hg0比例均小于管式炉实验结果。当煤种B加氯量为0.06%时,在沉降炉和管式炉中燃烧后烟气中Hg0含量占比分别为50.6%和67.8%。此外,还发现3种煤粉在管式炉中加氯燃烧后汞的析出率提高趋势均较沉降炉明显。故含氯脱硫废水溶液的添加可以改变煤燃烧时汞的析出特性,且有利于促进烟气中Hg0的氧化,对燃煤烟气脱汞具有重要作用。     

野鸭湖湿地土壤中砷汞分布特征及潜在风险评价

为了解野鸭湖湿地土壤砷汞元素分布规律、形态组成及元素累积影响因素,探讨土地利用对土壤砷汞时空变化的影响,在北京延庆县野鸭湖湿地公园及周围几个镇采集表层土壤,采用原子荧光光谱法对砷汞总量测定,并用五步连续萃取和原子荧光光谱法测定砷汞形态,同时利用相关分析研究As、Hg元素分布的影响因素。结果表明:As、Hg元素在野鸭湖湿地土壤中平均含量10.07、0.088 7mg/kg;均超出北京市土壤背景值,其中草地、耕地中少数采样点低于背景值。砷元素与钒、铁、锰显著正相关(r>0.4,p<0.01);汞与锰正相关,钒、铁、锰含量会在不同程度上影响As的分布;而锰是影响Hg分布的主要因素。As主要形态为残渣态,Hg主要形态为有机物结合态和残渣态。采用风险评价编码法对研究区域的砷汞元素进行潜在生态风险评价,2种元素生态风险均较低。     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.
