重金属Cd污染对土壤微生物活性影响的研究

重金属污染影响微生物活性,土壤中微生物活性的变化反映着土壤质量。通过实验模拟,研究不同浓度的外源重金属Cd对土壤微生物活性的影响,选择山林土和田园土为研究对象,测定土壤呼吸强度、脲酶活性、过氧化氢酶活性来表征土壤中微生物活性。结果表明,田园土中土壤呼吸强度、过氧化氢酶活性及脲酶活性均高于山林土。Cd对微生物活性具有明显的抑制作用,表现为随着Cd浓度的升高,土壤呼吸强度、过氧化氢酶活性及脲酶活性均总体呈现下降趋势;当Cd质量浓度为1.0mg/kg时,土壤脲酶活性增强,说明低浓度Cd对一些微生物活性有促进作用;当Cd质量浓度为10.0mg/kg时,土壤呼吸强度和过氧化氢酶活性增强,说明土壤呼吸强度和过氧化氢酶活性对逆境有强烈的反应机制。土壤中的有效态Cd随培养时间的延长会减少,使其对微生物活性的抑制作用减弱。     

Cd、Ni单一及复合污染对土壤酶活性的影响

采用外源添加重金属和露天盆栽实验研究了Cd、Ni对含羞草、三叶草根际土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性的影响。结果表明,Cd、Ni单一污染条件下,低浓度的Cd、Ni对含羞草组、三叶草组的脲酶、过氧化氢酶有激活作用,高浓度的Cd、Ni对土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶有一定的抑制作用;对蔗糖酶有较强的抑制作用。在Cd、Ni复合污染条件下,对含羞草组、三叶草组的脲酶、过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶产生抑制作用;Cd、Ni单一及复合污染对土壤酶活性的抑制大小顺序为:脲酶>蔗糖酶>过氧化氢酶,其中土壤脲酶可以作为Cd、Ni污染的预警指标。含羞草能显著提高土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶的活性,修复能力大于三叶草,在Cd、Ni污染修复方面有很好的应用前景。     

混合菌株诱导碳酸钙沉淀修复Cd污染水

利用微生物的酶化作用对水体中重金属镉(Cd)进行矿化固定,以减少交换态重金属在环境中的危害;采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、傅里叶变换红外谱(FT-IR)等分析测试手段对2株产脲酶矿化菌株(CZW-1和CZW-3)在单一和混合培养体系下生成的矿化产物进行了表征。结果表明,混合培养能提高细菌脲酶活性、提高细菌对Cd的耐受性及对Cd的去除率。单一培养菌株CZW-1和CZW-3的产脲酶活性分别为17.09 U·mL~(-1)和18.23 U·mL~(-1),对Cd的耐受性为2 mmol·L~(-1),对Cd的去除率为78.15%、80.32%;混合培养细菌脲酶活性为20.79 U·mL~(-1),对Cd耐受性为2.5 mmol·L~(-1),对Cd的去除率为85.50%。3组矿化体系矿化产物均为晶格掺杂、椭球状的CdCO_3和CaCO_3,但细菌混合体系矿化产物的粒度更大。混合培养体系由于微生物协同作用对于重金属污染修复具有更好的效果。     

根据主要污染因素建立土壤中镉的污染预测模型

以南方某市为例，在野外布点、采样、实验室分析的基础上，根据土壤中重金属镉的主要污染来源，建立了土壤中镉的数学预测方法，利用该方法，比较了土壤的不同利用方式和土壤的不同类型镉的实测值与计算值的相关性。结果表明，林地实测值与预测值的相关性高于耕地；由河流沉积物发育而来的水稻土、红壤和紫色土中，镉的实测值与预测值显著相关（R分别为0．618，0．916，0．595；a=0．01）；而由第四纪土和紫色岩发育而来的水稻土中，镉的实测值与预测值的相关性很差（R〈0．3）。     

微生物矿化修复重金属污染土壤

以选矿厂附近土壤为研究对象,分析了土壤中交换态重金属含量,As、Pb、Cd、Zn和Cu的交换态浓度为14.01、4.95、0.64、33.46和12.95 mg/kg。基于生物矿化原理,利用碳酸盐矿化菌生长代谢过程产生的脲酶来分解底物尿素,产生碳酸根离子,固结重金属离子,使得土壤中活泼的重金属离子转变为碳酸盐矿物态,降低其危险。研究了温度、pH和重金属离子对酶活性的影响,发现环境30℃温度有利于促进酶活性;在弱酸性条件下,底物分解量减少15%;重金属离子在低浓度时对脲酶活性影响不大,浓度提高后对酶活性抑制作用没有加剧。将制备好的微生物矿化修复制剂喷洒于1 000 m2的污染土壤中,实验结果发现,土壤中交换态重金属离子含量在0～20 cm范围内明显减少,As、Pb、Cd、Zn和Cu的交换态浓度分别减少至2.37、1.25、0.31、16.67和3.42 mg/kg。     

Cu-Cd、Zn-Cd、Cu-Zn复合污染对水稻毒性和重金属吸收的影响

以"中花11号"水稻品种为研究对象,通过溶液培养探讨了不同浓度配比的Cu-Cd、Zn-Cd、Cu-Zn对水稻根相对伸长毒性及元素吸收的影响。结果表明,Cu、Cd、Zn浓度与水稻相对根伸长均符合剂量效应关系,3种金属离子对水稻毒性次序为CuCdZn;在重金属总量为50%的毒性效应浓度(EC50)下,Cu-Cd对水稻毒性因浓度配比不同而表现不同的作用方式,而Zn-Cd、Cu-Zn对水稻毒性均表现出拮抗作用。在Cu-Cd复合处理下,Cd的加入促进了水稻对Cu的吸收,而Cu的加入对水稻幼苗的Cd吸收表现出不同作用;在Zn-Cd复合处理中,不同浓度Zn的加入均抑制Cd的吸收,使得水稻幼苗中Cd含量降低了9.1%~48.4%;Cu-Zn复合处理中,高浓度Cu的加入(EC40、EC30、EC25)抑制水稻对Zn的吸收。Zn-Cd拮抗作用主要和Zn抑制了水稻对Cd的吸收有关,而Cu-Zn的拮抗作用可能和高浓度的Cu抑制了Zn的吸收有关。     

丁草胺与镉复合污染对土壤呼吸强度的影响

研究了除草剂丁草胺和重金属镉(Cd)复合污染对两种土壤呼吸强度的影响及其随时间的动态变化.结果表明,单一污染中,丁草胺和Cd对土壤呼吸强度的影响,随土样不同而异,随农药浓度及培养时间的变化而变化;复合污染中,两种土样的复合污染对土壤呼吸强度的影响存在明显的交互作用,与单一污染相比,对土壤呼吸强度的影响依次表现为:丁草胺＞Cd与丁草胺复合污染＞Cd.建立了丁草胺和Cd在不同浓度配比下对土壤呼吸强度影响的多元回归分析模型.     

添加造纸污泥对土壤-白萝卜系统中镉迁移的影响

采用盆栽实验方法研究了红壤、紫色土母质发育的水稻土(红壤、紫色土)添加不同量的造纸污泥对土壤-白萝卜系统Cd迁移的影响。结果表明:添加造纸污泥能提高土壤的pH、有机质、N、CEC,降低紫色土有效态Cd含量;添加造纸污泥显著降低了白萝卜叶、地下茎中Cd含量,显著降低土壤-白萝卜系统中Cd的转运系数及富集系数;Cd的转运系数和富集系数与土壤pH、有机质存在显著负相关关系;红壤和紫色土中造纸污泥最适添加量分别为5%、10%时,白萝卜根茎中Cd含量以及Cd的转运系数和富集系数可达到相对最低值。造纸污泥农用能够在一定程度上降低重金属有效性,阻止其在土壤-作物系统中的迁移,可以为造纸污泥资源化和安全利用提供新途径。     

Cd、Pb复合污染下柠檬酸对龙葵修复效率及抗氧化酶的影响

植物修复土壤重金属被普遍认为是清洁、经济的生物修复方法。为了提高生物修复土壤重金属污染的效率,在室内盆栽实验中添加柠檬酸作为螯合剂促进龙葵对重金属的吸收,并研究其生理活性的变化。结果表明:当添加柠檬酸浓度为10 nmol/kg时,龙葵生物量显著提高(P<0.05),各部分生物量表现为:茎>叶>根;随着柠檬酸浓度的增加,龙葵对重金属Cd的吸收量显著(P<0.05)增加,在10 nmol时总吸收量最大,为229.85μg/g DW;龙葵对Cd、Pb的富集系数均在柠檬酸浓度为5 nmol/kg时达到最大;Pb吸收量随柠檬酸浓度增加表现出先增大后减小的趋势;添加柠檬酸促进了龙葵对Cd的吸收,增强了抗氧化酶活性,而对Pb的吸收效果不明显。

雷州半岛土壤重金属分布特征及其污染评价

在雷州半岛采集了106个土壤表层样品,分析了其中8种重金属元素(Cu、Pb、Zn、Cr、Ni、Cd、Hg和As)的全量.结果表明,雷州半岛土壤重金属污染由高到低排序为Ni＞Cr＞Hg＞Cu＞Zn＞Cd＞As＞Pb,Zn、Cd、As和Pb质量浓度均没有超标,Hg和Cu质量浓度超标率亦不高,但Ni和Cr平均质量浓度达49.81、87.13 mg/kg,高于国内外其他对照区域,超标率分别为25.47%和24.53%;重金属元素在雷州半岛各土壤利用类型中分布规律不明显,按4种主要土壤利用类型受重金属污染程度大小排序为甘蔗地＞果园土＞水田＞菜地;雷州半岛土壤综合污染指数总平均为0.970,土壤总体上尚清洁,重金属污染处于警戒水平;雷州半岛各区域中,徐闻、雷州两地土壤重金属质量浓度明显高于其他地区,其主要原因是徐闻、雷州两地成土母质主要为玄武岩,造成土壤Cr、Ni及其他重金属背景值较高.     

Cadmium (Cd) distribution and contamination in Chinese paddy soils on national scale

Rice is a staple food by an increasing number of people in China. As more issues have arisen in China due to rice contaminated by cadmium (Cd), Cd contamination in arable soils has become a severe problem. In China, many studies have examined Cd contamination in arable soils on a national scale, but little studies have focused on the distribution of Cd in paddy fields. This study explored the spatial pattern of Cd in paddy soils in China, made a preliminary evaluation of the potential risk, and identified the most critically contaminated regions based on the domestic rough rice trade flow. The results showed that Cd concentrations in paddy soils in China ranged from 0.01 to 5.50 mg/kg, with a median value of 0.23 mg/kg. On average, the highest Cd concentrations were in Hunan (0.73 mg/kg), Guangxi (0.70 mg/kg), and Sichuan (0.46 mg/kg) provinces. Cd concentrations in paddy soils in central and western regions were higher than those in eastern regions, especially the southeastern coastal regions. Of the administrative regions, Cd standard exceedance rate was 33.2 %, and the heavy pollution rate was 8.6 %. Regarding to Cd of paddy soil, soil environmental quality was better in Northeast China Plain than in Yangtze River Basin and southeastern coastal region. Mining activities were the main anthropogenic pollution source of Cd in Chinese paddy soil. Based on rice trade, more of the Chinese population would be exposed to Cd through intake of rice produced in Hunan province. Certain regions that output rice, especially Hunan province, should be given priority in the management and control of Cd contamination in paddy soil.     

Pesticide influence on soil enzymatic activities.

The influence of four pesticides, e.g. glyphosate, paraquat, atrazine, and carbaryl, on the activities of invertase, urease and phosphatase of twenty-two soils, numbered as 1-22, was investigated. Soils displayed a general variability of enzyme activities with invertase being more abundant than urease and phosphatase in the order listed. The addition of glyphosate and paraquat activated invertase and urease activities in several soils. Increments of invertase activity ranged from a very low increase (+4%) up to +204% in soils 11 and 14, respectively. Smaller increases were measured for urease. A general inhibitory effect (from 5% to 98%) was observed for phosphatase in the presence of glyphosate. The effects of atrazine and carbaryl on the three soil enzymes were evaluated against that exhibited by methanol, the solvent used for their solubilization. In almost all soils, atrazine further inhibited invertase activity with respect to the inhibitory effect shown by methanol. By contrast, consistent activation effects (from 61% to 10217%) were measured for urease with methanol alone and/or methanol-pesticide mixtures. Contradictory results were observed with phosphatase. Similarities found between the results obtained with enzymes in soils and those measured with synthetic enzyme complexes (e.g. free enzymes and/or clay-, organo-, and organo-clay-enzyme complexes) exposed to the same pesticides allowed some relationships between responses of soil enzymes to pesticides and soil properties to be hypothesized.     

Remediation of cadmium contamination in paddy soils by washing with chemicals: selection of washing chemicals

The efficiencies of neutral salts, strong acids, and chelates were tested for extracting cadmium (Cd) from three paddy soils. The higher the selectivity of the cations of the added neutral salts toward soil adsorption sites, the lower the pH in the extracts and the more soil Cd could be extracted. In addition, soil carbon and nitrogen contents and mineral composition were closely associated with the amount of Cd extracted. Calcium chloride and iron(III) chloride were selected as wash chemicals to restore Cd-contaminated paddy soils in situ. Washing with calcium chloride led to the formation of Cd chloride complexes, enhancing Cd extraction from the soils. The washing also substantially decreased soil levels of exchangeable and acid-soluble Cd, which are the major forms of bioavailable Cd for rice (Oryza sativa L.). The optimum conditions for in situ soil washing were also determined for calcium chloride.     

Assessment of the impact of pesticide residues on microbiological and biochemical parameters of tea garden soils in India

The main aim of this study was to assess the impact of pesticidal residues on soil microbial and biochemical parameters of the tea garden soils. The microbial biomass carbon (MBC), basal (BSR) and substrate induced respirations (SIR), β -glucosidase activity and fluorescein diacetate hydrolyzing activity (FDHA) of six tea garden soils, along with two adjacent forest soils (control) in West Bengal, India were measured. The biomass and its activities and biochemical parameters were generally lower in the tea garden soils than the control soils. The MBC of the soils ranged from 295.5 to 767.5 μ g g^{? 1}. The BSR and SIR ranged from 1.65 to 3.08 μ g CO₂-C g^{? 1} soil h^{? 1} and 3.08 to 10.76 μ g CO₂-C g^{? 1}h^{? 1} respectively. The β -glucosidase and FDHA of the soils varied from 33.3 and 76.3 μ g para-nitrophenol g^{? 1} soil h^{? 1} and 60.5 to 173.5 μ g fluorescein g^{? 1}h^{? 1}respectively. The tea garden soils contained variable residues of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides, which negatively affected the MBC, BSR, SIR, FDHA and β -glucosidase activity. Ethion and chlorpyriphos pesticide residues in all the tea garden soils varied from 5.00 to 527.8 ppb and 17.6 to 478.1 ppb respectively. The α endosulfan, β endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate pesticide residues in the tea garden soils ranged from 7.40 to 81.40 ppb, 8.50 to 256.1 ppb and 55 to 95.9 ppb respectively. Canonical correlation analysis shows that 93% of the total variation was associated with the negative impact of chlorpyriphos, β and α endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate on MBC, BSR and FDHA. At the same time ethion had negative impact on SIR and β -glucosidase. Data demonstrated that the pesticide residues had a strong impact on the microbial and biochemical components of soil quality.     

Evidence for the inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles on the activities of soil exoenzymes

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known to have antimicrobial ability, but very little is known about the effect of AgNPs on soil exoenzyme activities, which reflect the potential of a soil to support biochemical processes. This study provides evidence of the inhibitory effects of AgNPs on the activities of soil exoenzymes. Six exoenzymes related to nutrient cycles (urease, acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, β-glucosidase) and the overall microbial activity (dehydrogenase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolase) were tested in soils treated with AgNPs (1, 10, 100 and 1000 μg g(-1)) and silver ion (0.035, 0.175, 0.525, 1 and 1.5 μg g(-1)). AgNPs were capable of inhibiting the activities of all the exoenzymes tested in this study. Especially, the urease and dehydrogenase activities were significantly related to the presence of AgNPs. The effects of silver ions dissolved from the AgNPs were not significant, indicating the adverse effects caused by AgNPs themselves. This study suggested that AgNPs negatively affect soil exoenzyme activities, with the urease activity especially sensitive to AgNPs.     

Remediation mechanisms of mercapto-grafted palygorskite for cadmium pollutant in paddy soil

The immobilization agent was the key factor that determined the success of remediation of heavy metal polluted soil. In this study, mercapto-grafted palygorskite (MP) as a novel and efficient immobilization agent was utilized for the remediation of Cd-polluted paddy soil in pot trials, and the remediation mechanisms were investigated in the aspect of soil chemistry and plant physiology with different rice cultivars as model plants. Mercapto-grafted palygorskite at applied doses of 0.1–0.3% could reduce Cd contents of brown rice and straws of different cultivars significantly. Both reduced DTPA-extractable Cd contents in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil and decreasing Cd contents in iron plaques on rice root surfaces confirmed that MP was an efficient immobilization agent for Cd pollutant in paddy soil. In the aspect of soil chemistry, the pH values of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils had no statistical changes in the MP treatment groups, but their zeta potentials decreased obviously, indicating that MP could enhance the fixation or sorption of Cd on soil compositions. In the aspect of antioxidant system, MP could increase POD activity of rice roots significantly to alleviate the stress of Cd to roots, and resulted in the decrease of T-AOC, SOD, and CAT activities of rice roots of the selected cultivars. MP had no inhabitation or enhancement effects on TSH of rice roots but enhance the contents of MTs and NPT to binding Cd to complete detoxification process. MP as a novel and efficient immobilization agent could complete the remediation effects through soil chemistry and plant physiological mechanisms.

     

Nitrate reductase, arginine deaminase, urease and dehydrogenase activities in natural soil (ridges with forest) and in cotton soil after acetamiprid treatments

Soil enzymes are indicators of microbial activities in soil and are often considered as an indicator of soil health and fertility. They are very sensitive to the agricultural practices, pH of the soil, nutrients, inhibitors and weather conditions. To understand the effect of an insecticide, acetamiprid (IUPAC Name: (E)-N1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridyl) methyl]-N2-cyano-N1-methyl acetamidine) on different soil enzyme activities, the experiments were conducted for three consecutive years (2003--2005) at control and cotton experimental fields of Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) and natural area (ridges with forest) in Delhi. The combined results for all three years were presented here to understand the impact of acetamiprid on soil enzyme activities. Acetamiprid was applied three times in one crop season after 41, 48 and 73 days of sowing, to control the pest. Soil of treated fields was analyzed for insecticide residues immediately after first insecticide treatment and thereafter at definite period. The residues of acetamiprid in experimental soil was varied from 0.30+/-0.13 to 22.67+/-0.2 microg g(-1)d.wt. soil, during the crop period of 2003. The insecticide residues for 2004 ranged between 0.59+/-0.38 and 13.42+/-0.71 microg g(-1)d.wt. soil and for 2005 it ranged between 0.48+/-0.22 and 19.81+/-0.33 microg g(-1)d.wt. soil. An average half life of acetamiprid in our treated field was 11.2+/-1.7 days for all three years. Similarly, the soil from natural area and control were also tested for insecticide residues. No detectable insecticide residues had been found. Soil from three localities i.e. natural, control and experimental fields were tested for different enzyme activities. Nitrate reductase, arginine deaminase, urease and dehydrogenase activities were high in natural soil in comparison to control soil and insecticide treated soil in all three experimental years. At the same time, nitrate reductase activity was all time low in acetamiprid treated soil. Acetamiprid had inhibitory effects on nitrate reductase, arginine deaminase and urease activities. After first treatment (43 days after crop sowing), nitrate reductase (41%), arginine deaminase (22%) and urease (35%) activities were declined. Dehydrogenase activity increased to 22% after first insecticide application. Enzyme activities were recovered at the end of each crop season. Therefore, it can be attributed that agricultural practices, weather conditions and use of acetamiprid might be responsible for the different level of enzyme activities in soil.     

不同利用方式土壤中磷的吸附与解吸特性

研究不同利用方式土壤对磷的吸附解吸特性及其影响因素。采用室内恒温培养法研究了湖南典型土壤(红壤、潮土和紫色土)的不同利用方式(旱地、水田)土壤对P的吸附和解吸过程。土壤对磷的吸附解吸过程是分阶段进行的,用Langmuir方程拟合程度比Freundlich方程高,相关系数均在0.90(P<0.05)以上;从最大吸附量(Qm)、吸附反应常数(K)和最大缓冲容量(MBC)3项吸附参数综合考虑,旱地对P的吸附无论在强度还是容量方面均大于同母质的水田土壤;解吸率随着吸附量的增加而增大,其大小为旱地<水田。Qm与<0.002 mm粘粒及无定形铁含量呈正相关,相关系数分别为0.95和0.94(P<0.05)。不同利用方式土壤P吸附解吸特性差别较大,针对不同土壤应采取不同的磷素管理措施以实现作物增产和保护环境的双重效益。
