黄浦江底泥和生物膜对汞的吸附及形态分析

为探讨影响沉积物和生物膜对汞的吸附量及吸附形态的各种因素,采集了黄浦江底泥和生物膜样品,进行汞的吸附实验,发现pH值和Na 浓度是影响吸附的重要因素:pH=6时,汞的吸附量达到最大;在低的离子浓度范围内,吸附量随着离子浓度的增加而增加,当Na 浓度达到一定值时,吸附量反而降低.通过对吸附数据的拟和发现,Freundlich方程更适于描述汞在底泥中的吸附过程,而Langmuir方程更适于描述汞在生物膜中的吸附过程.外加汞源后,生物膜所转化的气态汞和有机质结合态汞含量较高,而底泥中的有机质结合态的汞含量则较高.

黄河中游泥沙对铜离子的吸持行为研究

以黄河中游泥沙和重金属Cu为研究对象，通过等温吸持实验和Tessier形态提取实验，研究了黄河中游泥沙在含量较高的条件下对铜离子的吸持特性．结果表明：黄河中游泥沙具有很强的吸持铜的能力．体系pH和泥沙理化性质对吸持具有强烈影响：当铜浓度较低时，pH是控制吸持的主要因素，不同泥沙对铜的吸持率均达到99％，泥沙吸持的空间差异很小；当铜浓度较高时，泥沙理化性质是使黄河中游泥沙吸持表现出空间差异的重要因素，碳酸盐是主要影响组份；在泥沙含量较高的条件下，单位吸持量随泥沙含量变化的规律符合“泥沙效应”规律，但吸持容量随泥沙含量升高而升高，这与泥沙含量升高导致体系pH升高有关。     

雌二醇在土壤/沉积物中的吸附特征及猪粪DOM对吸附的影响

天然类固醇雌激素如17β-雌二醇(E2)在极低质量浓度下(ng.L-1)即可干扰水生生物的生殖功能.为准确预测E2向水体迁移,通过摇床实验研究了E2在中国北方3种不同土壤/沉积物表面的吸附特征,同时探讨了猪粪及其堆肥可溶态有机质(DOM)对E2吸附的影响.结果发现,E2在土壤/沉积物表面吸附符合Freundlich等温吸附方程(R2>0.76),E2在河流沉积物、潮土、黑土皆表现为非线性,其中黑土吸附的非线性最强(n=0.74);吸附系数Kf介于26.2～57.5,并与有机质含量呈显著正相关(P<0.05).猪粪及其堆肥DOM显著抑制E2在土壤/沉积物表面的吸附,其中堆肥DOM的影响尤为显著.研究认为,有机质是土壤/沉积物中吸附E2的主要组分,共存猪粪DOM在较低浓度下可提高E2迁移性,增加E2向地表和地下水的迁移风险.     

双酚A在湘江沉积物上的吸附特征

 探讨了双酚A(BPA)在湘江沉积物上的吸附/解吸特征.结果表明,BPA在湘江沉积物上的吸附主要以快速吸附为主,Freundlich模型能较好地描述其吸附等温线,沉积物有机质中的碳黑物质和孔隙填充相引起了BPA的非线性吸附和解吸滞后行为;沉积物对BPA的吸附是一个放热过程,主要是自发的焓推动的物理吸附;随着沉积物浓度的增大,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量减少;随着离子强度的增大,单位吸附量也随之增大;在酸性条件下,单位沉积物上的BPA吸附量随着pH值的增大而减少,在碱性条件下这种影响不显著.     

多环芳烃在黄河水体颗粒物上的表面吸附和分配作用特征

通过模拟实验研究了多环芳烃在黄河水体颗粒物上的吸附特征,重点探讨了表面吸附和分配作用对吸附的贡献,结果表明:①随着泥沙含量的增加,总吸附量在增加,而单位颗粒物的吸附量却在减少;且泥沙含量不同时,吸附等温式的拟合方程也不同;②颗粒物对多环芳烃的吸附等温线与吸附-分配复合模式拟合较好;表面吸附和分配作用对多环芳烃的吸附实验值与吸附-分配模式中的理论值比较吻合;③在实验浓度范围内,黄河颗粒物对多环芳烃的吸附以表面吸附为主,如当颗粒物含量为3、8和15g/L,液相平衡浓度分别为2.84、2.35和3.4μg/L时,表面吸附对总吸附的贡献分别为67.85%、65.6%和62.69%;且表面吸附对总吸附的贡献大小顺序可以用泥沙含量表示为:3g/L>8g/L>15g/L,即随着泥沙含量的增加,表面吸附的贡献有减小的趋势;④单一多环芳烃在颗粒物上的单位吸附量大于3种多环芳烃共存时的单位吸附量,这从另一角度证实多环芳烃在黄河水体颗粒物上的吸附以表面吸附为主.     

N-LED3A在土壤中的吸附特征及其影响因素

采用批平衡试验法,研究了新型螯合型表面活性剂N-十二酰基乙二胺三乙酸钠(N-LED3A)在土壤上的吸附特征,并探讨了pH值、温度、离子强度和水土比对N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附影响.结果表明:准二级动力学方程适合描述N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附过程.Langmuir、Freundlich和Dubinin-Radushkevich(D-R)吸附等温方程均可较好地用于拟合吸附行为.土壤有机质和粘土矿物对N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附起到重要作用.溶液pH值对N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附有显著影响,随pH值增大(5~11),N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附量明显减小.N-LED3A浓度低于1000mg/L时,升高温度(25,35,45℃)对吸附量影响不大,但当浓度大于3000mg/L吋,吸附量随温度的升高有所_低.N-LED3A在土壤上的吸附量随离子强度增大而增加.N-LED3A吸附量随水土比变化顺序为:水土(20:1)水土(40:1)水土(80:1).     

四溴双酚A在煤胶体上的表面吸附和分配作用特征

以采自内蒙古霍林河煤矿的煤样为研究对象,通过模拟实验研究了四溴双酚A在煤胶体上的吸附行为,重点探讨了温度、p H值和离子强度对四溴双酚A在煤胶体上表面吸附和分配作用的影响.结果表明:煤胶体对四溴双酚A的吸附过程可由Freundlich表面吸附-分配复合模型很好地描述.随着温度的升高,四溴双酚A在煤胶体上吸附的分配作用和表面吸附同样都有所下降,但温度的升高对分配作用的影响程度较大.p H值主要影响四溴双酚A在煤胶体上的分配作用,在p H值为9时,四溴双酚A在煤胶体上的吸附以表面吸附为主,其对总吸附量的贡献率为97.5%;而在p H值为6~8时,则以分配作用为主,其对总吸附量的贡献率为64.0%~78.9%.Ca~(2+)浓度为0.001~0.1 mol·L~(-1)时,离子强度对于四溴双酚A在煤胶体上的表面吸附和分配作用均影响较小.     

双酚S在两种典型地带性土壤中的吸附/解吸行为研究

采用批平衡实验方法研究了双酚S（BPS）在两种典型地带性土壤中的吸附/解吸行为.结果表明,吸附动力学曲线符合拟二级动力学方程.吸附等温线呈非线性,且同时符合Freundlich和Langmuir方程.相比而言,BPS更易吸附在高有机质含量的黑土中,298 K反应温度下BPS在黑土和红壤上的最大吸附容量分别为497.8和156.6 mg·kg^-1.吸附到两种土壤中的BPS存在解吸滞后现象,这可能是由于BPS以化学吸附和微孔扩散的形式存在于土壤中的缘故.溶液pH与BPS在土壤中的吸附容量呈负相关关系,即中性形态的BPS比阴离子形态的BPS具有更高的吸附容量.与结构类似物双酚A（BPA）的吸附相比,BPS在土壤中的吸附量更低,因此具有更高的迁移能力,可能会引起更高的环境健康风险.本研究结果为了解BPS在土壤中的迁移规律提供了数据支持.     

Evaluation of phytoextracting cadmium and lead by sunflower, ricinus, alfalfa and mustard in hydroponic culture

Soil contaminated with heavy metals cadmium(Cd)and lead(Pb)is hard to be remediated.Phytoremediation may be a feasible method to remove toxic metals from soil,but there are few suitable plants which can hyperaccumulate metals.In this study,Cd and Pb accumulation by four plants including sunflower(Helianthus annuus L.),mustard(Brassica juncea L.),alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.), ricinus(Ricinus communis L.)in hydroponic cultures was compared.Results showed that these plants could phytocxtract heavy metals, the ability of accumulation differed with species,concentrations and categories of heavy metals.Values of BCF(bioconcentration factor)and TF(translocation factor)indicated that four species had dissimilar abilities of phytoextraction and transportation of heavy metals.Changes on the biomass of plants,pH and Eh at different treatments revealed that these four plants had distinct responses to Cd and Pb in cultures.Measurements should be taken to improve the phytoremediation of sites contaminated with heavy metals,such as pH and Eh regulations,and so forth.     

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.     

Oxidation of As(Ⅲ) by potassium permanganate

The oxidation of As(Ⅲ) with potassium permanganate was studied under conditions including pH, initial As(Ⅲ) concentration and dosage of Mn(Ⅶ). The results have shown that potassium permanganate was an effective agent for oxidizing of As(Ⅲ) in a wide pH range. The pH value of tested water was not a significant factor affecting the oxidation of As(Ⅲ) by Mn(Ⅶ). Although theoretical redox analyses suggest that Mn(Ⅶ) should have better performance in oxidization of As(Ⅲ) within lower pH ranges, the experimental results show that the oxidation efficiencies of As(Ⅲ) under basic and acidic conditions were similar, which may be due to the adsorption of As(Ⅲ) on the Mn(OH)2 and MnO2 resulting from the oxidation of As(Ⅲ).     

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.     

Chlorobenzenes in waterweeds from the Xijiang River （Guangdong section） of the Pearl River

The Xijiang River is the major source of water for about 4.5 millions of urban population and 28.7 millions of rural population. The water quality is very important for the health of the rural population. The concentration and distribution of chlorobenzenes (CBs) in both water and waterweeds collected from 4 stations in the Xijiang River (Gangdong section) of the Pearl River in April and November were determined. The result showed that nearly every congener of CBs was detected. The total contents of CBs (∑CBs) in the river water ranged from 111.1 to 360.0 ng/L in April and from 151.9 to 481.7 ng/L in November, respectively. The pollution level of CBs in the water in April was higher than that in November. The contents of ∑ CBs in waterweeds ranged from 13.53×102 μg/g to 38.27×102μg/g dry weight (dw). There was no significant difference between April and November in waterweeds. The distribution of CBs in roots, caulis, and leaves of Vallisneria spiralis L. showed different patterns. The leaves mainly contained low-molecular-weight CBs(DCBs), whereas the roots accumulated more PCBs and HCBs. The average lgBCFlip (bioconcentration factor) of CBs ranged from 0.64 to 3.57 in the waterweeds. The spatial distribution character of CBs in the Xijiang River was: Fengkai County ＜ Yunan County ＜Yun'an County ＜ Gaoyao County according to the ∑CBs, and the pollution deteriorated from the upstream to the downstream of the Xijiang River. Further analysis demonstrated that the discharge of waste containing CBs may be the main source of CBs pollution in the Xijiang River.     

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.     

Degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol with a novel TiO2/Ti-Fe-graphite felt photoelectrocatalytic oxidation process

Degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol(2,4-DCP)was studied in a novel three-electrode photoelectrocatalytic(PEC)integrative oxidation process,and the factors influencing the degradation rate,such as applied current,flow speed of O_2,pH,adscititious voltage and initial 2,4-DCP concentration were investigated and optimized.H_2O_2 was produced nearby cathode and Fe~(2 )continuously generated from Fe anode in solution when current and O_2 were applied,so,main reactions,H_2O_2-assisted TiO_2 PEC oxidation and E-Fenton reaction,occurred during degradation of 2,4-DCP in this integrative system.The degradation ratio of 2,4-DCP was 93% in this integrative oxidation process,while it was only 31% in E-Fenton process and 46% in H_2O_2-assisted TiO_2 PEC process.So,it revealed that the degradation of 2,4-DCP was improved greatly by photoelectrical cooperation effect.By the investigation of pH,it showed that this integrative process could work well in a wide pH range from pH 3 to pH 9.     

Effect of copper on the degradation of pesticides cypermethrin and cyhalothrin

The influence of coexisting copper (Cu) ion on the degradation of pesticides pyrethroid cypermethrin and cyhalothrin in soil and photodegradation in water system were studied.Serial concentrations of the pesticides with the addition of copper ion were spiked in the soil and incubated for a regular period of time,the analysis of the extracts from the soil was carried out using gas chromatography (GC).The photodegradation of pyrethroids in water system was conducted under UV irradiation.The effect of Cu~(2 ) on the pesticides degradation was measured with half life (t_(0.5)) of degradation.It was found that a negative correlation between the degradation of the pyrethroid pesticides in soil and Cu addition was observed.But Cu~(2 ) could accelerate photodegradation of the pyrethroids in water.The t_(0.5) for cyhalothrin extended from 6.7 to 6.8 d while for cypermethrin extended from 8.1 to 10.9 d with the presence of copper ion in soil.As for photodegradation,t_(0.5) for cyhalothrin reduced from 173.3 to 115.5 rain and for cypermethrin from 115.5 to 99.0 min.The results suggested that copper influenced the degradation of the pesticides in soil by affecting the activity of microorganisms.However, it had catalyst tendency for photodegradation in water system.The difference for the degradation efficiency of pyrethroid isomers in soil was also observed.Copper could obviously accelerate the degradation of some special isomers.

Effects of arsenic on seed germination and physiological activities in wheat seedlings

The effects of arsenic(As)were investigated on seed germination,root and shoot length and their biomass and some other factors to elucidate the toxicity of As.The results showed low concentrations of As(O-1 mg/kg)stimulated seed germination and the growth of root and shoot,however,these factors all decreased gradually at high concentrations of As(5-20 mg/kg).The contents Of O2-,MDA,soluble protein and peroxidase(POD)activity all increased with increasing As concentrations.Soluble sugar content,ascorbate peroxidase(APX),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activities decreased at low concentrations of As,and increased at high concentrations of As.While acetylsalicylic acid(ASA)and chlorophyll contents,catalase(CAT)activity displayed increasing trend when the concentrations of As was lower than 1 mg/kg,and then decreasing trend.By polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE).As induced the expression of POD isozymes of wheat seedlings.As induced the expression of CAT isozymes but inhibited the expression of SOD isozymes of wheat seedlings at concentrations lower than 1 mg/kg.However,As inhibited the expression of CAT isozymes but induced the expression of SOD isozymes at concentrations higher than 5 mg/kg.The results indicated As could exert harmfulness in the early development stage of wheat at inappropriate concentrations.
