热解温度对污泥基生物炭结构特性及对重金属吸附性能的影响

鉴于污泥基生物炭作为重金属吸附剂的研究还缺乏足够的数据,为探讨不同热解温度对生物炭结构性质及其对水体重金属吸附能力的影响,在缺氧条件下于300~900℃范围内以城市污泥为原料制备生物炭,利用元素分析、比表面积测定、电位测定和红外光谱分析等方法对生物炭的理化性质和结构特征进行表征,并选用900℃生物炭进行了吸附重金属Pb、Cr和Cd的试验研究.结果表明:① 300~900℃缺氧条件下制备的生物炭产率为44.39%~69.41%,污泥呈弱酸性（pH为6.35）,热解后的生物炭呈碱性（pH为7.7~10.58）.② 900℃生物炭中w（H）、w（N）大幅降低,分别比干污泥中减少89.50%和77.16%,而w（C）降低29.22%,固碳作用显著.热解后生物炭比表面积明显增大,700和900℃生物炭比表面积分别达到58.48和87.55 m2/g,最佳制备温度为700~900℃.③ 热解后的生物炭具有大量极性基团,热解温度越高,酸性基团越少,碱性基团含量增多.④ 热解作用使生物炭zeta电位升高,吸附能力增强.⑤ 900℃生物炭吸附Pb、Cr和Cd的最佳pH为7~8,对Pb、Cr和Cd的最大吸附量分别为2.38、2.48和1.16 mg/g.⑥ 各因素对生物炭吸附重金属的影响顺序,对于Pb和Cr表现为生物炭投加量>热解温度;对于Cd,表现为生物炭投加量>pH.研究显示,污泥基生物炭对Pb、Cr的吸附能力高于Cd,影响生物炭吸附行为的主导因子为生物炭投加量,影响Pb和Cr吸附的次要因子为生物炭热解温度,而影响Cd的次要因子为pH.生物炭吸附重金属的主要机理是离子交换吸附、络合反应、表面沉淀和竞争性抑制作用.      

水葫芦/污泥共热解法制备生物炭粒及其对Cr3+的吸附特性

磁性生物炭的合成及对土壤重金属污染的钝化效果

为提高生物炭对土壤重金属的钝化能力,通过温和液相还原再氧化法制备了磁性生物炭材料.利用土壤培养实验,以0%、 0.3%、 0.6%和1.0%(质量分数)的比例向重金属污染土壤中施加磁性生物炭,考察磁性生物炭对土壤重金属污染的钝化修复效果及对土壤理化特性的影响,并对修复机制进行了探讨.结果表明,添加不同比例磁性生物炭后,土壤中Cd、Cu、Ni、Pb和Zn有效态含量均呈现不同程度的下降,且随着该材料添加比例的增加土壤中重金属有效态降幅随之增加.培养24 d后,Cd、Cu、Ni、Pb和Zn的钝化效率分别达到了27.52%、 49.55%、 55.83%、 27.33%和26.01%(添加量为1%),但土壤中重金属的形态并没有发生显著变化,可能主要与重金属和生物炭之间相对较弱的结合机制有关.同时,磁性生物炭的添加改善了土壤的理化性质,其中pH值提高0.7个单位,脱氢酶活性提高6倍,过氧化氢酶活性和有机质分别提高37.06%和22.11%.     

热解温度对浒苔基生物炭重金属特征的影响

利用限氧控温炭化法制备浒苔基生物炭,探讨了不同热解温度(200、300、400、500和600℃)对生物炭产率、生物炭重金属(Cu、Zn、Cr、Cd、Pb、As、Hg)总量及其水溶态重金属含量的影响。结果表明:生物炭产率随热解温度升高而降低。生物炭中Cu、Zn、Cr、Cd、Pb含量较原料均有显著增加,而As和Hg含量均低于原料。总体上热解碳化可促进浒苔基生物炭中Cu、Zn、Cr、Cd及As的挥发迁移趋势,但Pb则呈现富集趋势。此外,生物炭水溶态重金属含量低于原料,且热解温度与水溶态重金属含量呈负相关性,表明热解过程可降低这些重金属的溶出。     

制备工艺对nZVI/污泥基生物炭中Zn、Cu、Pb形态分布及其生态风险的影响

以市政污泥为原料、纳米零价铁（nZVI）为添加剂,采用热解法制备污泥生物炭,考察了nZVI添加量、热解温度和升温速率对生物炭中Zn、Cu、Pb形态分布及其生态风险的影响。结果显示:高nZVI添加量、高热解温度及低升温速率可提高稳定态（BCR法） Zn、Cu和Pb的含量;高nZVI添加量可促使Zn、Cu和Pb向可氧化态转化,而高热解温度和低升温速率有利于残渣态Zn、Cu和Pb的生成;最优nZVI添加量、热解温度和升温速率分别为2000 mg/kg,800℃和4℃/min。此外,当nZVI添加量为800 mg/kg、热解温度为800℃和升温速率为2℃/min时有利于降低Zn、Cu和Pb的生态风险;Zn、Cu和Pb总体生态风险等级分别为低风险、低风险和无风险,与Cu和Pb相比,Zn的生态风险较高;以RI值为评价指标,nZVI/污泥基生物炭的优化制备工艺为:nZVI添加量为200 mg/kg,热解温度为800℃,升温速率为5℃/min。     

不同温度下烧制的秸秆炭对可变电荷土壤吸附 Pb(Ⅱ)的影响

研究了添加花生秸秆炭和稻草炭对2种可变电荷土壤的pH和吸附Pb(Ⅱ)的影响,结果表明,添加生物质炭使土壤pH提高了1.04～3.00个单位,且土壤pH增加幅度随生物质炭制备温度的升高而增加.等温吸附实验的结果表明,添加生物质炭增加了Pb(Ⅱ)在可变电荷土壤表面的吸附量,当Pb(Ⅱ)初始浓度为2 mmol.L-1时,Pb(Ⅱ)的吸附量提高了12.6%～57.6%.土壤对Pb(Ⅱ)的吸附量随体系pH升高而增加.Freundlich方程和Langmuir方程可以很好地拟合添加生物质炭后2种土壤对Pb(Ⅱ)的吸附等温线,且Freundlich方程拟合效果更好,r值均在0.94以上.从Freundlich和Langmuir方程中表征吸附容量的k和Qm结果可以看出,花生秸秆炭促进Pb(Ⅱ)吸附的效果优于稻草炭,400℃下制备的生物质炭促进2种土壤吸附Pb(Ⅱ)的效果优于300℃和500℃下制备的生物质炭.解吸实验结果表明,添加秸秆炭处理土壤表面吸附Pb(Ⅱ)的解吸量高于对照处理,但解吸量远低于吸附量,说明生物质促进土壤吸附Pb(Ⅱ)的机制涉及静电吸附和非静电吸附.     

生物炭结构性质对氨氮的吸附特性影响

氨抑制现象在富含有机氮底物的沼气工程中普遍存在,采用生物炭吸附法可固定发酵液中氨氮.为探究生物炭理化结构与氨氮吸附特性之间的相关关系,在不同热解温度(350、450和550℃)下制备以玉米秸秆、稻壳为原料的生物炭,通过元素分析、FTIR和BET等分析生物炭结构及其理化性质,并结合批式吸附实验,研究不同理化性质生物炭对氨氮的吸附特性影响.结果表明随着热解温度的升高,生物炭中碳及灰分含量增多; 450℃制备的玉米秸秆生物炭(CS450)与550℃制备的稻壳生物炭(RH550)对氨氮的吸附分别遵循准二级和准一级动力学模型.Freundlich吸附模型能更好地描述CS450和RH550生物炭对氨氮的等温吸附过程;玉米秸秆炭吸附量与其表面官能团间具有显著相关性;而与稻壳炭的吸附量相关性最显著的为生物炭的比表面积,其次是表面官能团,最后是灰分.其中,RH550吸附性能最好,最大吸附量为12. 16 mg·g~(-1).

热解温度对畜禽粪便生物炭重金属特征变化的影响

为了揭示畜禽粪便生物炭中重金属的特征变化,以鸡粪、猪粪渣和牛粪为原料,采用低氧控温法制备生物炭,研究了不同热解温度(350、450、550、650和750℃)的畜禽粪便生物炭产率、重金属(Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb、Cr和Ni)含量和相应富集系数的变化,以及原料来源、热解温度和重金属特征的相关性.结果表明,随着热解温度的升高,畜禽粪便生物炭产率逐渐下降,各重金属元素含量(Cd除外)逐渐增加,多数重金属富集系数呈降低的趋势,总体上高温热解虽增加了畜禽粪便生物炭的重金属含量,但也利于炭化过程中重金属的挥发迁移.畜禽粪便生物炭中重金属含量与热解温度、原料来源密切相关,其中与热解温度的相关性均显著,各生物炭的重金属富集能力表现为鸡粪猪粪渣牛粪.综合分析发现,热解温度对畜禽粪便生物炭的重金属特征变化有显著影响,选择低重金属含量和低富集系数的畜禽粪便可避免高温制备的生物炭在实际应用中由自身重金属可能带来的二次污染.

本文利用管式炉在不同温度下对八宝景天进行直接热解和磷酸预处理热解,研究了As、Pb的迁移特性和形态分布.结果表明：生物炭中As的回收率随温度升高波动,Pb的回收率随温度升高先增大后减小,As、Pb的回收率均在500℃时达到最大,分别为66.2%和73.08%.添加8%磷酸后As、Pb回收率在一定温度范围内增加,并在300℃时达到最大值,分别为83.75%和92.78%.热解温度由300℃升到600℃时,生物炭中As的稳定形态（F4+F5）由不足20%增加到70%左右,Pb的最稳定形态（F5）由3%增加到32%.添加8%磷酸热解后,生物炭中As的稳定性小幅增加,500和600℃时F5分别增加20%和5%;Pb的稳定性显著增加,（F4+F5）均达到90%以上.磷酸添加量对重金属形态分布无明显影响.实验结果表明采用磷酸预处理用于修复植物热解可提高生物炭中重金属As、Pb的回收率及稳定性,并可降低其生态风险指数.     

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.     

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.     

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.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
