饮用水中含氮消毒副产物三氯硝基甲烷的形成过程和影响因素

采用气相色谱/质谱法,选择甲基叔丁基醚为萃取剂,1,2-二溴丙烷为内标物,建立了含氮消毒副产物三氯硝基甲烷(TCNM)的测定方法.以甲胺为前体物,考察了饮用水氯化消毒过程中三氯硝基甲烷(TCNM)的生成过程及影响因素.结果表明,pH在碱性条件下TCNM的生成量比中性和酸性条件下高,TCNM的生成量随着pH的增大而逐渐提高.在投氯量2～8mmol·L-1的范围内,TCNM的生成量随着投氯量的增加而提高,当投氯量由8 mmol·L-1增加到12 mmol·L-1时,因自由氯的浓度较高,甲胺还通过其它路径发生反应生成了腈类和醛类,从而使TCNM的生成量降低.在甲胺投加量0.5～4 mmol·L-1的范围内,TCNM的生成量随着甲胺和氯胺的投加量的增加而提高.在10～30℃范围内,温度对甲胺生成TCNM的影响较明显,温度越高,TCNM的生成量越高.甲胺氯化形成TCNM的过程符合亲电反应的机制,HClO和ClO-可以作为亲电试剂进攻甲胺最终形成TCNM.     

南水北调丹江口水库水氯(胺)化消毒副产物产生特性与消毒工艺对比

系统研究了南水北调中线工程水源——丹江口水库水在氯(胺)化消毒条件下,常规消毒副产物的产生特性,考察了消毒方式、消毒剂投加量、接触时间、p H和溴离子浓度等因素的影响,并对消毒工艺参数进行了优化.结果发现,丹江口水库水经氯化消毒可产生三氯甲烷、二氯一溴甲烷等常规含碳和较低浓度二氯乙腈、三氯硝基甲烷等含氮消毒副产物,而氯胺化消毒仅产生三氯甲烷和三氯硝基甲烷等消毒副产物(disinfection by-products,DBPs).自由氯消毒过程产生的各类型DBPs浓度约为氯胺消毒的7.5倍,短时自由氯转氯胺方式DBPs产生量介于两者之间;随着自由氯投加量增加,各类型消毒副产物均呈现增加趋势,投加量大于2 mg·L-1后DBPs增加量较少.随氯胺投加量增加,三氯甲烷生成量变化不大,投加量大于2mg·L-1后可产生三氯硝基甲烷等副产物.随反应时间延长,自由氯的衰减速率明显大于氯胺,同时消毒副产物增长量明显快于氯胺消毒.随着p H升高,自由氯消毒后三卤甲烷含量呈现增加趋势,而氯胺消毒后变化不明显.随溴离子浓度的增加,自由氯和氯胺消毒后副产物类型均向溴代DBPs转变,同时总生成量明显增加,自由氯消毒DBPs增长量明显大于氯胺消毒过程.丹江口水库水采用氯胺化消毒可以降低消毒副产物的生成风险,如采用自由氯消毒方式,水厂需根据实际常规处理工艺重点控制自由氯的投加量等参数.     

天冬氨酸在氯化过程中生成消毒副产物二氯乙腈的研究

选择甲基叔丁基醚为萃取剂,1,2-二溴丙烷为内标物,采用气相色谱/质谱法,建立了含氮消毒副产物二氯乙腈(DCAN)的测定方法.以天冬氨酸为前体物,研究饮用水氯化消毒过程中二氯乙腈的形成过程及影响因素,并探讨了二氯乙腈的生成机制.结果表明,在酸性及中性条件下,DCAN的生成量随着p H值的增大而增大,在碱性条件下,DCAN的生成量随着p H值的增大而减小,并且碱性条件下DCAN的生成量明显比中性和酸性条件下低.投氯量增加,DCAN的生成量也随之不断提高.在10~30℃范围内,温度对形成DCAN的影响不大.天冬氨酸氯化形成DCAN的过程包括7个步骤,经过一系列包括取代、脱羧、氧化等反应后,最终形成DCAN.     

饮用水含氮与含碳消毒副产物的生成潜能及其毒性

消毒副产物生成潜能测试常用于表征水中消毒副产物的前体物含量.不同于三氯甲烷等含碳消毒副产物,二卤代乙腈（DHANs）与二卤代乙酰胺（DHAcAms）等含氮消毒副产物在氯消毒的余氯存在下易分解,并且在氯胺消毒过程中可由氯胺提供氮源生成,因此常用于含碳消毒副产物的生成潜能测试方法（如Krasner提出的测试法）可能无法有效揭示DHANs与DHAcAms的前体物水平.本研究以三氯甲烷和氯醛两种含碳消毒副产物为对比,考察DHANs与DHAcAms在饮用水氯消毒与氯胺消毒过程中不同投氯量与反应时间下的生成量,识别最大生成量对应的消毒条件,以便更好地评估水样中DHANs与DHAcAms的前体物浓度.同时,对消毒过程中生成的这些挥发性消毒副产物进行毒性评价.结果显示,两个水样氯消毒的DHANs与DHAcAms生成量分别为6.19~40.08、1.34~15.75 nmol·mg^-1（mg^-1以TOC计）;氯胺消毒的DHANs与DHAcAms生成量分别为2.63~21.46、18.43~49.99 nmol·mg^-1.Krasner测试法条件下的DHANs与DHAcAms生成量均最低.在投氯量为TOC+8×NH₃-N、反应时间为24 h的氯消毒条件下,氯胺投加量20×TOC、反应时间为3 d的氯胺消毒条件下,两个水样具有最高水平的DHANs与DHAcAms生成量,并且消毒副产物毒性也高于Krasner法测试条件下的毒性水平.因此,氯消毒采用投氯量TOC+8×NH₃-N、反应时间24 h,氯胺消毒采用投加量20×TOC、反应时间3 d的生成潜能测试条件可能更好地揭示水中DHANs和DHAcAms的前体物浓度水平.     

高锰酸钾预氧化控制氯/氯胺消毒的卤乙酸生成量

结合南方某市典型受污染水源,研究了高锰酸钾预氧化对后继氯或氯胺消毒工艺中卤乙酸(HAAs)生成量和生成形态的影响.研究结果表明,氯胺消毒比自由氯消毒可降低HAAs生成量60%～80%左右;通过一致性生成条件试验比较表明,高锰酸钾的最佳投量范围是0.5mg·L-1～1.5 mg·L-1,在高锰酸钾为1.0mg·L-1的条件下,后续氯消毒工艺的HAAs生成量降低了30.9%;而后续氯胺消毒工艺的HAAs生成量则降低了25.3%;高锰酸钾预氧化对DCAA生成量的影响相对较大;高锰酸钾预氧化可降低氯/氯胺消毒工艺的HAAs生成量.     

BrO3-等溴类物质在长江水氯化过程中的形成

研究长江上海段原水中Br-在氯化过程中的产物,以BrO3-、Br-和三卤甲烷(THMs)为主要测定物,考察pH值、氯投加量和Br-浓度对三者生成量的影响.研究表明,BrO3-在氯化过程中的形成缓慢,其生成量与氯投加量正相关,常规消毒条件下不会超过10μg/L的国家标准.在余氯充足的情况下,增加Br-浓度主要增加了总有机溴(TOBr),而BrO3-生成量基本不变,弱碱性条件有利于TOBr的生成;THMs和TOBr有一定相关性,Br-浓度升高将导致THMs生成量增加,其中三氯甲烷浓度下降,混合取代的THMs浓度先增加后减少,三溴甲烷浓度显著上升.     

臭氧氧化饮用水过程中可同化有机碳生成的影响因素

研究臭氧化过程中,臭氧投加量、p H值和离子强度对可同化有机碳(assimilable organic carbon,AOC)生成量的影响.结果表明,臭氧投加量在1~5 mg·L~(-1)范围,AOC的生成量随着投加量的增加而增加,但过高的臭氧投加量(9 mg·L~(-1))反而导致AOC生成量下降.p H越高(6~9),AOC的生成量也越高.AOC的生成量随着离子强度的升高而下降.臭氧氧化强疏组分AOC的生成量最高,其次为弱疏,而极亲和中亲最低.研究发现,AOC的生成量与小分子有机物的SUVA有密切的关系,较低的SUVA产生较多的AOC.     

含溴水臭氧化过程阴离子对溴酸盐生成的影响

为研究常见无机阴离子对含溴水臭氧化过程溴酸盐(Br O-3)生成的影响,本研究通过小试分别考察了不同质量浓度氯离子(Cl-)、碳酸氢根离子(HCO-3)和硫酸根离子(SO2-4)对Br O-3生成的影响,并结合反应过程臭氧衰减、中间产物次溴酸/次溴酸根离子(HOBr/OBr-)生成及总溴浓度变化情况,进一步分析了这3种无机阴离子对Br O-3生成的影响机制.结果表明,以60 min为例,Cl-质量浓度为3~150 mg·L-1的水样Br O-3生成量相对于未投加Cl-条件降低了8.8%~25.7%;反应20min时,SO2-4质量浓度从0 mg·L-1增至30 mg·L-1时,Br O-3生成量减少了63.9%;而当HCO-3质量浓度由0 mg·L-1上升至30 mg·L-1时,Br O-3生成量增加了6.4倍,其质量浓度超过30 mg·L-1,继续投加HCO-3对Br O-3生成量的促进作用提高不大.研究表明,在相同的臭氧投加量和相同的反应时间下,投加Cl-和SO2-4均能抑制臭氧化过程Br O-3的生成,而投加HCO-3能极大地促进Br O-3的生成.     

操作条件及水质对海水氯消毒过程中消毒副产物生成的影响

氯消毒广泛应用于海水利用的预处理过程中,以减少生物膜淤积,而消毒过程会导致各类消毒副产物(DBPs)的生成,可能会对海洋生态环境具有潜在危害。系统研究了操作条件和水质对海水氯化消毒过程中生成三卤甲烷(THMs)、卤乙腈(HANs)和卤乙酸(HAAs)的影响。结果表明,氯投加量对DBPs生成的影响最大,随着投氯量的增加,THMs、HANs和HAAs的生成量显著增加,在反应初期随反应时间的延长而增加,随后HANs和HAAs的生成量开始缓慢降低而THMs基本保持不变。随着温度升高,THMs的生成量稳步增加,而HAAs和HANs在分别达到30,25℃后生成量达到最大值,之后随温度的升高而降低。p H对THMs、HANs和HAAs生成的影响相反,在酸性条件下HANs和HAAs的生成量最多,而在碱性条件下THMs的生成量最多。THMs、HANs和HAAs的生成量随溴离子浓度的改变无明显变化,但是随着氨氮浓度的升高,THMs、HANs和HAAs的生成种类和生成量均有明显降低。     

亚硝氮在氯及氯胺消毒中形成三氯硝基甲烷的作用研究 ——以色氨酸为例

以溶解有机碳为5 mg·L-1的色氨酸溶液为研究对象,探索氯和氯胺消毒时,不同影响因子对亚硝氮在三氯硝基甲烷(TCNM)形成中的作用,从而识别其关键消毒因子.结果表明:NO-2的加入对TCNM的形成有明显的促进作用.对氯消毒来说,NO-2对TCNM形成的促进作用在酸性条件下(TCNM增量为11.82μg·L-1)比碱性条件下(TCNM增量为2.66μg·L-1)更为明显;而对于氯胺,却在中碱性条件下较为明显(pH=5,6,7,8,9,TCNM的增量分别为0.04、0.11、0.50、0.34、0.27μg·L-1).但不管是氯消毒还是氯胺消毒,NO-2对TCNM形成的促进作用基本随着消毒剂量、反应时间的增加而增加.由极差分析得知,氯、氯胺消毒下影响NO-2对TCNM形成的关键的因子均是pH值.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
