Degradation and detoxification of microcystin-LR in drinking water by sequential use of UV and ozone

Microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria are strong hepatotoxins and classified as possible carcinogens.MCs pose a considerable threat to human health through tainted drinking and surface waters.Herein filtrated water from a waterworks in Harbin,China,was spiked with microcystin-LR (MC-LR) extracted from a toxic scum of microcystis aeruginosa,and the spiked sample waters were treated using UV irradiation with consequent ozonation process (UV/O3),compared with ozonation at a dose range commonly applied in water treatment plants,UV irradiation at 254 nm and UV irradiation combined with ozonation (UV+O3),respectively.The remaining of toxins were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and also determined using a protein phosphatase type 2A inhibition assay,which was utilized to evaluate the reduction in toxicity.Results indicated that in comparison to other three processes (O3,UV,and UV+O3),UV/O 3 process could effectively decrease both the concentration and toxicity of MC-LR at 100 μg/L level after 5 min UV irradiation with consequent 5 min ozonation at 0.2 mg/L (below 1 μg/L),while 0.5 mg/L ozone dose was required for the level below 0.1 μg/L.The addition of an UV treatment step to the existing treatment train may induce significant transformation of micropollutants and breaks down the natural organic matters into moieties unfavorable for ozone decomposition,stabilizing the ozone residual.These findings suggested that sequential use of UV and ozone may be a suitable method for the removal of these potentially hazardous microcystins from drinking water.     

太湖水中微囊藻毒素的测定及其分布特征

为了调查太湖水体中微囊藻毒素的污染程度,运用固相萃取-高效液相色谱技术测定了微囊藻毒素(MC-RR,MC-LR)的含量水平。该方法线性范围0.2～5 mg/L,相关系数大于0.99,2种藻毒素的最低检测限分别为0.05μg/L(MC-RR)和0.048μg/L(MC-LR)。结果表明,夏季太湖水体中MCs总体含量高于冬季;微囊藻毒素MC-LR的含量大于MC-RR。总体上看来,太湖北部(梅梁湾)水域中藻毒素的污染比其它区域水体严重。     

臭氧-紫外预处理对高有机物原水混凝效果的影响

以腐殖酸为模型污染物,分别考察了臭氧氧化、紫外照射及臭氧-紫外联合预处理过程对高有机物原水混凝性能的影响.结果表明,3种预处理方式均对原水中的溶解性腐殖酸具有明显的矿化作用.紫外及臭氧-紫外联合预处理还对后续的混凝过程具有强化作用.随着臭氧投量的增加和紫外照射时间的延长,混凝过滤出水的TOC和浊度呈明显下降趋势.当臭氧浓度(O3/C)达到9.0 mg/mg时,预处理对腐殖酸的去除率可以达到47%,过滤出水TOC含量为3.5 mg/L,浊度为2.6 NTU;紫外光照射3 h可去除原水中52%的溶解性有机物,其出水TOC为2.0 mg/L,浊度低于1.0 NTU.臭氧-紫外联合预处理后的混凝效果要明显优于二者单独作用的系统.在联合预处理系统中,当预臭氧浓度(O3/C)为1.0 mg/mg紫外照射时间为1 h时,过滤出水TOC为2.6 mg/L,且浊度低于1.0 NTU.不同预处理条件下的矿化作用主要是通过.OH实现的,同时.OH还对溶解性腐殖酸的团聚结构产生破坏作用,使其稳定性降低,从而促进了混凝过程对有机物的去除.     

预臭氧与后臭氧-生物活性炭联用工艺研究

利用静态批量和动态连续试验初步研究了预臭氧及预臭氧与后臭氧-BAC组合工艺对南方某含溴离子水库水的处理效果和相应的处理条件.静态实验结果表明,预臭氧反应量在0.5～1.0mg/L范围内,在有效去除消毒副产物(DBPFP,主要包括THMFP和HAAFP)的同时,臭氧副产物溴酸可以控制在10μg/L以下,而继续增加臭氧反应量则会导致DBPFP的增加.当水中溴离子浓度达到96μg/L时,使用臭氧必须采取溴酸控制措施.连续动态实验结果表明,预臭氧与臭氧-生物活性炭组合工艺对于2μm以上颗粒物、COD_Mn、TOC等的去除均有明显的效果,可以进一步抑制DBPs的形成.

Effects of advanced oxidation pretreatment on residual aluminum control in high humic acid water purification

Due to the formation of disinfection by-products and high concentrations of Al residue in drinking water purification, humic substances are a major component of organic matter in natural waters and have therefore received a great deal of attention in recent years. We investigated the effects of advanced oxidation pretreatment methods usually applied for removing dissolved organic matters on residual Al control. Results showed that the presence of humic acid increased residual Al concentration notably. With 15 mg/L of humic acid in raw water, the concentrations of soluble aluminum and total aluminum in the treated water were close to the quantity of Al addition. After increasing coagulant dosage from 12 to 120 mg/L, the total-Al in the treated water was controlled to below 0.2 mg/L. Purification systems with ozonation, chlorination, or potassium permanganate oxidation pretreatment units had little effects on residual Al control; while UV radiation decreased Al concentration notably. Combined with ozonation, the effects of UV radiation were enhanced. Optimal dosages were 0.5 mg O3/mg C and 3 hr for raw water with 15 mg/L of humic acid. Under UV light radiation, the combined forces or bonds that existed among humic acid molecules were destroyed; adsorption sites increased positively with radiation time, which promoted adsorption of humic acid onto polymeric aluminum and Al(OH)3(s). This work provides a new solution for humic acid coagulation and residual Al control for raw water with humic acid purification.     

γ-Al2O3催化臭氧氧化水中嗅味物质机理探讨

以γ-Al₂O₃粉末为催化剂,研究催化臭氧氧化去除水体中典型嗅味物质2-甲基异茨醇（MIB）的效能与机理.结果表明,γ-Al₂O₃能够明显促进臭氧氧化去除MIB,表现出很好的催化活性,叔丁醇对γ-Al₂O₃催化氧化去除MIB过程具有明显的抑制作用.在催化臭氧氧化去除MIB过程中,γ-Al₂O₃表面电荷状态及表面羟基的带电性质与溶液的pH值有关.当溶液pH值与γ-Al₂O₃ 的pH_zpc接近时,γ-Al₂O₃的催化作用最为明显.γ-Al₂O₃催化臭氧氧化过程中自由基的相对量值R_ct比单独臭氧氧化过程高出近1个数量级,这进一步表明γ-Al₂O₃能明显促进臭氧分解产生更多的羟基自由基.最后还考察了不同摩尔比例的臭氧分解促进剂与抑制剂对γ-Al₂O₃催化臭氧分解的影响.     

电催化臭氧技术降解啶虫脒

研究了臭氧氧化、紫外/臭氧(UV/O₃)和电催化臭氧(electro-peroxone, EP)3种技术降解啶虫脒的机制,比较了3种技术降解地下水和地表水中啶虫脒的效率和能耗(使用E_EO指标表征)。发现啶虫脒为臭氧难氧化物质,与臭氧(O₃)和羟基自由基(·OH)的二级反应速率常数分别为(0.05±0.01) mol/(L·s)、(2.8±0.2)×109 mol/(L·s)。经6 min臭氧氧化后,地下水和地表水中的啶虫脒去除率仅为26%和64%。与之相比,UV/O₃和EP技术可以完全去除地下水和地表水中的啶虫脒。臭氧氧化、UV/O₃和EP技术降解啶虫脒的能耗分别为0.11~0.27,1.22~1.24,0.12~0.24 kW·h/m3。结果表明,EP技术是一种去除饮用水中啶虫脒的高效低耗技术。     

紫外光在臭氧降解不同有机物过程中的协同作用

利用O3／UV分别对与臭氧有不同反应活性的对氯苯酚、硝基苯、乙酸和草酸进行了降解试验,结果表明,UV与臭氧化降解的协同作用与目标有机物本身的性质有很大关系,在本实验条件下,UV与臭氧的联用反而降低了对氯苯酚的臭氧化降解效率,30min后体系的TOC去除率仅有59％,而单独臭氧化TOC的去除率达到了66％;对硝基苯和草酸而言,UV均明显地提高了臭氧的降解效率,40min时两者TOC的去除率分别为44％和90％,比单独臭氧化处理分别高出了6％和33％;但是,O3／UV对乙酸几乎无降解活性．在这4种有机物的单独臭氧化降解过程中,除对氯苯酚外,水中均可检测到溶解臭氧．以上的实验结果表明,目标有机物对紫外光的吸收及单独臭氧化过程水中溶解臭氧的存在是O3／UV降解效率提高的必要条件．除UV对目标有机物的活化作用外,降解过程的中间产物H2O2也是O3／UV降解效率提高的一个重要因素,UV分解溶解臭氧在此过程可能仅起了辅助作用。

基于太湖微囊藻毒素的叶绿素a阈值研究

以探讨叶绿素a(Chl-a)阈值为主要目的于2013年6~10月间每月在太湖采样,通过固相萃取超高效液相色谱串联质谱法对水体中3种微囊藻毒素(MC-LR、MC-RR、MC-YR)进行检测.利用SPSS软件分析各种形态的微囊藻毒素(MCs)与总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、Chl-a、高锰酸盐指数等富营养指标的相关性,分析了MC-LR、MCs与Chl-a的关系.结果表明,太湖MCs污染较严重,其浓度的空间分布特征为:梅梁湾>贡湖、西部沿岸区>湖心区>胥湖区、南部湖区,并以MC-LR浓度最高;相关性分析表明MC-LR、MC-RR、MC-YR及MCs均与高锰酸盐指数、TN、TP、Chl-a呈极显著正相关(P<0.01).结合饮用水中MC-LR和MCs的标准限值分析得出,太湖Chl-a的阈值是12.26 mg·m-3,与美国北卡罗莱纳州湖泊的Chl-a标准值比较属于安全阈值,具有一定的科学性.     

水环境中新兴污染物三氯蔗糖的研究进展

人工甜味剂——三氯蔗糖（sucralose,SUC）是一种应用广泛的食品添加剂,因其在水环境中被广泛检出,且具有高极性、持久性等特点,被US EPA（美国环境保护局）列为新兴污染物（emerging contaminant,EC）,相关检测、降解及毒理学研究逐渐增多.在比较了水环境中微量三氯蔗糖检测方法,总结了其在各地水环境中检出情况的基础上,重点阐述水处理工艺中三氯蔗糖的控制及转化.研究表明:固相萃取-液质联用（SPE-LC/MS）是检测水环境中人工甜味剂最常用的方法,可实现痕量三氯蔗糖的准确定性和定量,检测限低至几ng/L.以生物处理为主的污水处理工艺对三氯蔗糖降解效果甚微,大部分三氯蔗糖随排放进入水环境,继而进入饮用水处理及供水系统.欧美地区污水及地表水环境中三氯蔗糖检出浓度约为几至几十μg/L,饮用水中约为几百ng/L,国内水环境中检出水平与之相当,但资料数据相对匮乏.饮用水常规处理工艺对三氯蔗糖几乎没有控制效果,实际处理系统中氯和臭氧等氧化工艺控制效果甚微.试验研究中以产生羟基自由基、硫酸自由基等为主的高级氧化工艺可有效降解三氯蔗糖,但由于成本高,操作条件限制等难以大规模应用,此外三氯蔗糖降解过程中可能产生有害副产物.我国已经成为三氯蔗糖的第二大产地,人工甜味剂生产及使用规模大,理论上国内存在水环境污染范围广、污染水平高的分布特征,是水源中不容忽视的一类微量有机污染物.目前国内净水厂推广应用以臭氧为主的深度处理工艺,但三氯蔗糖在该工艺中因不完全降解可能导致多种含氯或脱氯产物的产生,对饮用水供水安全具有潜在威胁.      

Microcystin-LR detection based on indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Microcystins (MCs) are a group of closely related toxic cyclic heptapeptides produced by common cyanobacteria, which cause lots of accidents and threatens human health. In this paper, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) was established and used to detect microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in drinking and surface waters. The concentration of coating antigen was 5 μ/mL, the dilution of monoclonal antibody MC10E7 was 1:3 000, the dilution of enzyme tracer (goat anti-mouse IgG-peroxidase) was 1:3 000, the standard concentration of MC-LR ranged from 0.001 μg/L to 30 μg/L, and o-phenylenediamine was used as substrate. The assay showed high relativity with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a correlation coefficient of more than 99%. The relative standard deviation was less than 10%, the detection limit was achieved down to 0.01 μg/L and up to 5.1 μg/L. The quantitative detection range was from 0.03 μg/L to 3 μg/L, and the antibody had high specificity for [4-arginine] microcystins. It performed well in spite of the influence of the real samples.

Impact of Fenton and ozone on oxidation of wastewater containing nitroaromatic compounds

Fenton and ozone treatment was investigated at laboratory scale for the degradation of aqueous solutions of nitrobenzene (NB).Effects of reactants concentration (O3,H2O2,and Fe(II)),temperature,and pH on NB degradation were monitored.Reaction kinetic of these processes was also assessed.A rapid reaction took place for Fenton process at higher initial concentration of H2O2,higher temperatures,and more acidic conditions(pH 3).Similarly, ozonation reaction exhibited rapid rates for higher ozone dose,higher temperatures,and more basic conditions(pH 11).Complete NB degradation in 65 min Was achieved using Fenton process.The conditions of complete elimination of 100 mg/L of initial NB concentration,were 250 mg/L of H2O2 concentration,pH 3,and 10 mg/L of Fe(Ⅱ) concentration.Under these conditions,55% organic carbon elimination Was achieved.Total organic carbon mineralization Was attained in 240 min reaction time by Fenton process with 900 mg/L of H2O2 concentration,and 30 mg/L of Fe(II) concentration.Fenton reaction showed a pseudo-first order kinetic;the reaction rate constant Was ranged from 0.0226 to 0.0658 min-1.Complete NB degradation wag also achieyed for an ozone dose of the order of 2.5 g/L.The ozonation Was studied at different ozone doses.different initial pH(7-11)and at difierent temperatures(15-35℃).NB ozonation kinetic Was represented by a bi-molecular kinetic model which was reduced to pseudo-first order kinetic.The pseudo-first order reaction rate constant was determined to increase at 20℃ from 0.004 to 0.020 min-1 as the used ozone increased from 0.4 to 1.9g/L.     

Effects of UV/Ag-TiO2/O3 advanced oxidation on unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina: Implications for removal of invasive species from ballast water

The UV/Ag-TiO2/O3 process was investigated for ballast water treatment using Dunaliella salina as an indicator. Inactivation curves were obtained, and the toxicity of e uent was determined. Compared with individual unit processes using ozone or UV/Ag-TiO2, the inactivation e ciency of D. salina by the combined UV/Ag-TiO2/O3 process was enhanced. The presence of ozone caused an immediate decrease in chlorophyll a (chl-a) concentration. Inactivation e ciency and chl-a removal e ciency were positively correlated with ozone dose and ultraviolet intensity. The initial total residual oxidant (TRO) concentration of e uent increased with increasing ozone dose, and persistence of TRO resulted in an extended period of toxicity. The results suggest that UV/Ag-TiO2/O3 has potential for ballast water treatment.     

农田土壤中微囊藻毒素污染特征及风险评价

臭氧高级氧化法处理化工废水的进展研究

单独臭氧氧化降解化工废水的效率较低,为提高降解效率,研究者们开发了O3/UV、O3/H2O2、O3催化氧化等组合工艺,不仅能够对难降解有机物进行降解,而且最终生成无害的氧气.关于O3/UV、O3/H2O2、O3催化氧化这三种臭氧高级氧化法处理化工废水的协同机理及一些研究进展取得了一定成效,分别阐述了研究者们对各方法一些应用研究,对臭氧高级氧化在化工废水处理领域的应用前景进行了概述.     

O3/UV降解水中的乙酸和硝基苯

利用O3 /UV和O3/H2O2降解了水中的乙酸,结果表明,在相同条件下处理60min后,O3/UV对乙酸的去除率仅比单独臭氧化处理提高了3%,而O3/H2O2在此条件下完全降解乙酸.O3/UV在处理硝基苯过程中却显示较好的氧化降解能力,通过分析表明,硝基苯降解过程中所产生的副产物H2O2对有机物的去除具有很重要的作用.因此,O3/UV氧化降解能力的提高可能有2方面的原因,紫外光对有机物的活化作用;中间产物H2O2催化臭氧分解产生了高活性的羟基自由基. 单独紫外光催化臭氧分解产生羟基自由基的效率极低.     

氯咪巴唑在臭氧降解过程中的影响因素及其降解产物

唑类抗真菌剂广泛应用于药物和个人护理品(pharmaceutical and personal care products,PPCPs)中,常规污水处理工艺难以将其有效去除. 大量唑类抗真菌剂排入受纳环境后会对生态系统造成一系列负面影响. 为了解唑类抗真菌剂的臭氧氧化降解过程和机理,以氯咪巴唑(climbazole,CZ)为例,通过设置不同条件的对比试验,系统研究CZ在臭氧氧化过程中的影响因素及其去除规律,同时采用超高效液相色谱-飞行时间质谱联用仪UPLC-Q/TOF对其降解产物进行鉴定. 影响因素试验结果表明:①CZ起始浓度由1.0 mg/L增至4.0 mg/L时,臭氧氧化20 min下CZ的降解率从99.1%降至69.3%;②反应体系起始pH由5.0升至9.0时,CZ臭氧降解半衰期由1.38 min延长至7.18 min;③臭氧流速由0.1 L/min增至0.4 L/min时,臭氧氧化20 min时CZ的降解率从66.5%提至99.4%,但臭氧流速超过0.3 L/min以后,CZ降解率的增幅较小;④自然水体及其高浓度共存组分(碳酸氢根和腐殖酸)均会明显抑制CZ的臭氧氧化反应速率,CZ降解半衰期大多数超过6 min (空白对照组为1.99 min). 因此,在臭氧氧化降解新兴有机污染物或对臭氧氧化工艺进行优化时,应充分考虑起始污染负荷、pH、臭氧流速、水体水质状况等对处理效果的影响. 产物鉴定结果表明:臭氧氧化反应可将CZ碎裂重组形成两个主要降解产物——TP269和TP297,二者的产率分别为11.45%和8.90%. 研究显示,起始污染负荷、pH、臭氧流速、水体水质状况均会明显影响CZ的臭氧降解效果;两个CZ臭氧降解产物的产率虽不高,但其毒性有待进一步研究.      

Toxicity-based assessment of the treatment performance of wastewater treatment and reclamation processes

The reclamation and reuse of wastewater is one of the possible ways to relieve the serious fresh water resource crisis in China. Efficient reclamation treatment technologies ensure the safe reuse of reclaimed water. In order to screen out and evaluate technologies appropriate for reclamation treatment, a great deal of efforts have been brought to bear. In the present study, a toxicity-based method including a Photobacterium phosphoreum test for acute toxicity and SOS/umu test for genotoxicity, accompanied by the traditional physicochemical parameters DOC (dissolved organic carbon) and UV₂₅₄ (absorbance at 254 nm), was used to measure the treatment performance of different reclamation processes, including the anaerobic-anoxic-oxic biological process (A²O) and subsequent physical/chemical reclamation processes (ultrafiltration, ozonation, chlorination). It was found that for the secondary effluent after the A²O process, both the toxicity and physicochemical indices had greatly decreased compared with those of the influent. However, chemical reclamation processes such as ozonation and chlorination could possibly raise toxicity levels again. Fortunately, the toxicity elevation could be avoided by optimizing the ozone dosage and using activated carbon after ozonation. It was noted that by increasing the ozone dosage to 10 mg/L and employing activated carbon with more than 10 min hydraulic retention time, toxicity elevation was controlled. Furthermore, it was shown that pre-ozonation before activated carbon and chlorination played an important role in removing organic compounds and reducing the toxicity formation potential. The toxicity test could serve as a valuable tool to evaluate the performance of reclamation processes.
