温度和pH对生物成因羟基硫酸铁矿物的综合影响研究

在酸性矿山废水中,氧化亚铁硫杆菌(A.ferrooxidans)氧化Fe~(2+)过程中常常伴随着次生矿物的生成.为研究温度和pH对A.ferrooxidans氧化Fe~(2+)及Fe3+水解成矿的综合影响,考察了初始pH为1.5、2.0、2.5、3.0,温度为8、18、28、38℃时体系中Fe~(2+)、总Fe、次生矿物的变化情况.结果表明,在改良9K培养基中,温度和pH均影响Fe~(2+)生物氧化和Fe~(3+)水解成矿.A.ferrooxidans最佳适宜生长环境为温度28℃,pH=2.0~3.0,其它条件均不利于其生长繁殖,导致Fe~(2+)氧化速度明显变慢.起始pH=1.5时,不同温度处理均未发现有矿物生成,pH越高,收集矿物量越多.次生铁矿物XRD图谱表明,反应温度为28℃时,pH=2.0~2.5条件下次生铁矿物主要为黄铁矾和施氏矿物的混合物,而pH=3.0时则更有利于施氏矿物的形成.该现象对有效调控次生矿物的形成具有潜在意义.

富铁酸性硫酸盐体系施氏矿物附着包裹硫杆菌的Fe2+氧化能力研究

探究富铁酸性硫酸盐体系次生铁矿物附着包裹硫杆菌的Fe~(2+)氧化活性,对揭示次生铁矿物调控酸性矿山废水形成过程具有指导意义.本研究首先采用摇瓶实验合成次生铁矿物—施氏矿物,然后将脱水后的0.1、0.2、0.3及0.4 g施氏矿物直接或溶解后加入到pH为2.50的富铁酸性硫酸盐体系(改进型9K液体培养基)中进行Fe~(2+)氧化,分析体系pH、Fe~(2+)氧化率、次生铁矿物产生量等相关指标.研究表明,氧化亚铁硫杆菌在脱水施氏矿物的附着包裹量为2×10~8cells·g~(-1).0.1、0.2、0.3及0.4 g施氏矿物直接加入体系经过108 h培养,pH分别下降至2.28、2.25、2.24及2.22;Fe~(2+)氧化速率随着施氏矿物加入量的增加而增加,且各体系Fe~(2+)氧化率在108 h均达到100%,此时次生铁矿物产生量分别是3.05、3.30、3.61与3.70 g·L~(-1).然而,0.1、0.2、0.3及0.4 g施氏矿物溶解后进入的相应体系经过108 h培养后,pH分别下降至2.19、2.18、2.10及2.02;Fe~(2+)氧化速率随着施氏矿物溶解量的增加而增加,各体系Fe~(2+)氧化率在96 h均达到100%,各体系次生铁矿物在108 h时的产生量分别是6.16、6.44、6.76与7.89 g·L~(-1).可见,施氏矿物对硫杆菌的吸附包裹作用致使体系Fe~(2+)氧化效率降低,次生铁矿物合成量减少,酸化程度减弱.     

工业废水中AS^3＋的协同抑制化学发光法测定

水体中As~(3+)的测定方法,通常有原子光谱法、分光光度法和电化学法等。本文依据As~(3+)和Cu~(2+)对鲁米诺-MnO_4~-化学发光反应的协同抑制作用,建立了As~(3+)的化学发光测定方法。方法的线性范围为0.007～3.0mg/l;最低检出浓度为0.0068mg/l。与其他方法相比,本法具有选择性好、简便、线性范围宽等优点。     

青霉菌与生物炭复合修复土壤砷污染的研究

采用随机区组设计,分别对添加不同量的青霉菌和生物炭的砷污染土壤进行培养,通过测定土壤中的As~(3+)、As~(5+)及总砷含量,探究了青霉菌与生物碳复合修复对砷污染土壤中有效砷的钝化率及土壤中砷的价态转化的影响,同时对土壤中的微生物数量进行区系分析,建立了微生物数量与有效砷含量之间的关系.结果显示,随着青霉菌接菌量与生物炭施用量的增加,土壤中总砷含量不会发生变化,有效砷含量从17.74 mg·kg~(-1)下降到12.69 mg·kg~(-1),有效砷的钝化率可达到27.6%左右.而两种价态的砷(As~(5+)、As~(3+))之间没有发生转化,约27%的As~(5+)会被青霉菌与生物炭固定,但As~(3+)在土壤中的含量基本保持不变.在有效砷含量下降的同时,土壤中放线菌的含量基本不变,但土壤中细菌的总量有所上升.结果表明,青霉菌与生物碳复合修复可以降低有效砷的含量,并使砷污染土壤中的微生物环境有所改善,对砷污染土壤显示出较好的修复性能.     

有关酸性矿井水的几个问题探讨

本文通过对我国酸性矿井水状况的大量调研和水质实测,对酸性矿井水的组成特性进行了探讨,分析了 pH 值与酸度、pH 与总铁,pH 与 Fe~(2+)、Fe~(3+)的关系,得出了酸性矿井水中的酸度主要是金属盐水解而形成的,强酸酸度非常小等结论。此外,本文还对酸性矿井水监测分析中的几个值得注意的问题进行了分析和探讨。     

Ce3+与Cu2+协同强化芬顿体系氧化苯酚的效能与机制研究

研究了Ce~(3+)与Cu~(2+)协同强化芬顿体系在不同初始条件下对水中苯酚的氧化效能与机制.结果表明,在p H适用范围的宽度和H_2O_2浓度变化方面,Ce~(3+)/Cu~(2+)/Fe~(2+)/H_2O_2体系比传统的芬顿体系更具有优势,该体系在p H=5.0、H_2O_2浓度为2.0mmol·L-1的条件下,仍可以对苯酚保持相对较高的氧化效能;Cu~(2+)可能会借助反应过程中的中间产物(醌类物质)生成Cu+,Cu+催化H_2O_2分解生成·OH,Ce~(3+)可能促进体系内醌类物质的形成,加快Fe~(3+)与Fe~(2+)的循环效能,在一定程度上提高了芬顿体系中H_2O_2分解生成·OH的速率,说明Cu~(2+)与Ce~(3+)对芬顿体系的强化作用具有协同性;自由基终止剂依然可以抑制Ce~(3+)、Cu~(2+)强化的芬顿体系对苯酚的降解,由此说明体系中起到氧化作用的活性物种仍然是羟基自由基(·OH).     

过氧化氢加Fe~(3+)作催化剂处理含酚废水的研究

采用H_2O_2/Fe~(3+)对合酚废水进行了催化氧化的研究。对于溶液pH值、过氧化氢浓度、铁离子浓度与酚、COD、TOC去除的关系作了探讨。结果表明,在酸性pH值范围内,Fe~(3+)作催化剂可获得不低于Fe~(2+)作催化剂时的催化活性,对酚、COD和TOC都有较好的去除率。而在初始pH=7时,Fe~(3+)作催化剂的反应活性明显降低。自动连续控制溶液pH=7.0±0.2时,无论是高铁或低铁离子都大幅度降低其反应活性。同时也证实,低浓度铁离子不论是Fe~(3+)或Fe~(2+)也都降低其催化反应活性。     

Fenton试剂液相催化氧化亚硝酸盐实验研究

氧化法烟气脱硝技术在超低排放背景下很有应用前景,解决氧化吸收后亚硝酸盐的水体二次污染问题有助于推广该技术。该文验证了碱液吸收NO_2后,亚硝酸盐生成机制。通过对比试验选定最佳NO_2~-检测方法。考察了Fenton试剂液相催化氧化NO_2~-效果。探讨了pH值、H_2O_2浓度、Fe~(2+)浓度、微波敏化等因素对NO_2~-转化效率的影响。结果显示:Fenton试剂能够氧化亚硝酸盐,其中pH值、H_2O_2浓度、Fe~(2+)浓度,以及是否施加微波等条件,是NO_2~-转化效率的重要影响因素。当NO_2~-的浓度为452.51 mg/L时,加入0.03 mol/L H_2O_2和3 mmol/L的Fe~(2+)与之反应(无微波及活性炭敏化条件),可使NO_2~-转化效率高达94.88%;pH值、H_2O_2浓度、Fe~(2+)浓度等是NO_2~-转化效率的重要影响因素,最佳p H值是3,H_2O_2浓度、Fe~(2+)浓度的增加可提高NO_2~-转化效率;微波可提高NO_2~-转化效率,施加微波可将NO_2~-转化效率从58.88%提高至68.89%,且活性炭的添加可强化微波敏化效果,其中果壳基活性炭强化效果优于椰壳基活性炭。     

外源亚精胺对As5+胁迫下水稻种子萌发和As吸收积累的影响

农田As污染对农作物生长有毒害作用,导致农作物产量降低、品质下降.研究了外源添加亚精胺(Spd)对As~(5+)胁迫下水稻种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响.结果表明,外源添加Spd能够促进As~(5+)胁迫下水稻种子的萌发过程,提高种子的发芽势和发芽率,促进幼苗根系生长.添加Spd可以不同程度地提高As~(5+)胁迫下水稻幼苗和根系中的抗氧化酶系统过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性,降低水稻幼芽和根系中的丙二醛(MDA)含量.当As~(5+)浓度为25μmol·L~(-1)时,添加500μmol·L~(-1)和1 000μmol·L~(-1) Spd使水稻根系中的MDA含量比对照处理分别降低12.3%和31.3%,水稻幼芽CAT活性分别提高105.1%和101.4%,水稻根系CAT活性分别提高29.9%和57.1%.添加Spd也影响水稻对As的吸收积累.当As~(5+)浓度为25μmol·L~(-1)时,添加500μmol·L~(-1)和1 000μmol·L~(-1) Spd导致水稻幼芽As含量与对照相比分别降低69.4%和75.1%,水稻根系As含量分别降低7.6%和24.4%.Spd可以有效地缓解As~(5+)对水稻的毒害作用.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

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.     

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.     

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.
