铁锰复合氧化物的制备及其吸附除砷性能

采用共沉淀法制备了新型铁锰复合氧化物吸附剂,并对其表面特性及除砷性能进行了初步研究.ξ电位测试表明,铁锰复合氧化物pHzpc在6.0附近,SEM/EDX表征证明吸附剂表面Fe和Mn的相对摩尔比为3∶1;铁锰复合氧化物对As(Ⅴ)和As(Ⅲ)均表现出很强的吸附能力,并且吸附速度快,在60min内即可达到平衡吸附容量的80%;该吸附剂在天然水环境pH范围内均有良好吸附除砷能力,磷酸根、硅酸根、碳酸根等阴离子对除砷效果有不同程度的影响,其余共存阴、阳离子及天然有机物在中性水环境中对除砷效果影响不大;采用Langmuir吸附等温线能较好地描述铁锰复合氧化物吸附As(Ⅴ)的过程(R2=0.997),而Freundlich方程能较好地拟合As(Ⅲ)的吸附过程(R2=0.989),对As(Ⅴ)与As(Ⅲ)的饱和吸附容量分别达到227mg·g-1和312 mg·g-1.     

不同水分条件下铁基氧化物对土壤砷的稳定化效应研究

应用等温吸附试验及室内模拟培养的方法,研究了Fe2O3、Nano-Fe2O3和铁锰双金属氧化物(FMBO)等铁基氧化物对砷的吸附特性和对不同含水量土壤中砷的稳定化效应.从等温吸附试验结果来看,3种铁基氧化物对As(V)和As(Ⅲ)的吸附过程符合准二级动力学方程,12 h后基本达到吸附平衡,吸附等温线符合Langmuir方程,FMBO对As(V)和As(Ⅲ)的吸附容量显著大于Fe2O3和Nano-Fe2O3,且对As(Ⅲ)的饱和吸附容量大于As(V),能够起到氧化和吸附的双重作用.从对不同含水量土壤中砷的稳定化效果来看,Nano-Fe2O3和FMBO在风干和田间持水量土壤中均能达到90%以上的稳定化效率,显著高于Fe2O3;在土壤水分饱和条件下,FMBO的稳定化效率仍保持在93.5%以上,且能够将土壤中As(Ⅲ)氧化成As(V),而Fe2O3和Nano-Fe2O3分别仅为29.4%、81.4%.3种铁基氧化物的添加会使土壤中砷的结合态发生变化,Fe2O3、NanoFe2O3主要使砷由F1非专性吸附态和F2专性吸附态向F4结晶铁锰或铁铝水化氧化物结合态转变,添加FMBO主要向F3无定形或弱结晶铁锰或铁铝水化氧化物结合态转变.总体看来,在非饱和状态的土壤,Nano-Fe2O3和FMBO均为良好的稳定化材料,而对于长期淹水的稻田或地下水位较高的地区,或者由于降雨造成土壤滞水等情况,FMBO可以作为一种优良的稳定化材料用于土壤砷污染修复.     

磁性CeO_2-Fe_3O_4复合材料光催化/吸附去除水中As(Ⅲ)

原水砷污染问题严重威胁饮用水水质安全,随着生活饮用水标准的提高,致使多地饮用水中砷超标问题突显.本研究利用CeO_2半导体的光催化活性及CeO_2和Fe_3O_4对As(Ⅴ)的强亲和力,合成了双组份磁性CeO_2-Fe_3O_4复合材料,并采用SEM、XRD、BET和VSM等手段进行表征,考察复合材料的光催化/吸附除砷效果;研究了初始p H值、共存离子等因素对吸附除砷效果的影响;采用等温吸附模型、吸附动力学模型等手段进行吸附特性研究.实验结果表明,在光催化过程中,·OH和·O_2~-为主要的活性氧化物种.在紫外照射下,As(Ⅲ)能完全被氧化为毒性较低的As(Ⅴ),同时将As(Ⅴ)高效吸附于CeO_2-Fe_3O_4粒子表面.在中性条件下,CeO_2-Fe_3O_4粒子对砷的饱和吸附量为122.19 mg·g~(-1).共存离子Cl~-和SO_4~(2-)对As(Ⅴ)的吸附没有显著影响,而CO_3~(2-)、SiO_3~(2-)和PO_4~(3-)与As(Ⅴ)存在明显的竞争吸附,使As(Ⅴ)的吸附去除效果明显降低.吸附动力学和吸附等温线模拟分别符合准二级动力学方程和Freundlich吸附等温线,表明As(Ⅴ)的吸附以化学吸附为主导.CeO_2-Fe_3O_4复合吸附剂可快速实现固液分离,容易再生且重复利用性较好,具有广泛的应用前景.

光照厌氧条件下沼泽红假单胞菌对砷的抗性及其机制

采用UV-Vis和HPLC-ICP-MS分析方法,在光照厌氧条件下研究了沼泽红假单胞菌(Rhodopseudomonas palustris CQV97)对砷(As)的抗性和机制.结果表明,As(Ⅴ)与As(Ⅲ)对R.palustris CQV97的半数效应浓度(EC50)分别为2.3mmol·L-1和0.9mmol·L-1;该菌株能够将As(Ⅴ)还原为As(Ⅲ),不能将As(Ⅲ)转化为As(Ⅴ)或甲基砷;在含有0.1mmol·L-1As(Ⅴ)的培养基中培养80h,细胞积累的总As可达1.32mg·g-1(以干重计),其中,9.8%存在于细胞质中,4.9%与细胞膜的脂质相结合,其余被认为吸附在细胞表面;全细胞、细胞质、细胞膜所含的As(Ⅲ)和As(Ⅴ)的相对比例分别为16.3%和83.7%、12.1%和87.9%、16.5%和83.5%.静息细胞砷吸附结果表明,与0℃孵育细胞相比,25℃孵育细胞对As(Ⅴ)和As(Ⅲ)吸附量较高;灭活细胞对As(Ⅴ)的吸附量进一步提高,而对As(Ⅲ)的吸附量则降低.因此,光照厌氧条件下,R.palustrisCQV97对As具有较强的抗性和吸附特性,对As(Ⅴ)的抗性和吸附性均明显高于As(Ⅲ);其抗砷机制为细胞质As(Ⅴ)的还原途径,具体为在细胞内将As(Ⅴ)还原为As(Ⅲ),继而As(Ⅲ)被转运至细胞外,维持胞内As的含量在较低水平.本研究可为深入理解光合细菌对无机砷的抗性机制、砷的地球化学循环及砷的环境污染和生物修复提供理论参考.

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.
