为进一步探讨用分形与多重分形的方法研究地球化学场中元素的分布规律的重要意义,运用Q Q图和直方图探讨了元素的空间分布规律,随后运用多重分形矩方法研究了安徽省长江以南以北各约22000km2和18100km2区域内5489个和4524个水系沉积物样品中14种元素的分形分布规律。结果表明,金属地球化学场元素在空间上的分布并不是简单的正态或对数正态分布,而四连续多重分形分布,其α f(α)曲线上凸且连续,拥有主要大型矿床的安徽江南地区α f(α)曲线的开口明显大于成矿相对较弱的安徽江北地区。元素的多重分形谱函数的形态特征对区域成矿潜力研究将具有一定的指示意义。     

活性污泥絮体的分形结构分析

通过小角光散射(small-angle light scattering,SALS)实验确定出活性污泥絮体的分形区域,对絮体粒径分布进行了拟合分析,采用原子力显微镜(AFM)和激光共聚焦扫描显微镜(CLSM)对絮体在不同尺度下的形貌进行了观测.结果显示,污泥絮体是由一系列的絮团结合而成,絮体表面凹凸不平,有各种"孔洞","缝隙",絮体内部存在一系列的孔隙.较大尺度的絮体同时存在多种孔道结构,构成絮体中营养物和水流的运输通道;污泥絮体在0.5～50μm之间具有明显的分形结构,表明活性污泥絮体在较小的粒径时已经具有一定的分形特征,活性污泥的粒度分布属于Gamma分布方式,证明污泥絮体的成长过程是一种絮团-絮团的凝聚过程.     

基于多重分形理论的近海污染物空间分布特性研究

针对我国近海污染物空间分布特征难于辩析的问题,通过对多重分形理论的研究,提出了一种新的近海污染物空间分布特征的分析方法。以天津市近岸海域20个水环境监测点为例,随机选择两个不同水期的COD监测数据进行分析,采用多重分形矩方法计算COD空间分布的多重分形维数谱函数f(α)。计算结果显示其α(q)-f(α)曲线均为连续不对称的上凸曲线,表明近海污染物在空间上的分布并不是简单的正态或对数正态分布,而是连续多重分形分布,近海污染物高浓度部分的奇异性较低浓度部分大,平水期的奇异性较丰水期大。应用表明,该分析结果与天津市近岸海域实际情况相一致,这些成果的取得为辩析近海污染物的空间分布特征,并进一步采用基于多重分形理论的算法模型计算近海水环境容量提供了理论依据。     

聚合氯化铁-腐殖酸(PFC-HA)絮体的粒度和分形维数的动态变化

通过采集PFC-HA絮体的单个样品和拍摄它们的二维图像,研究了在不同混凝条件下絮体的粒度和分形维数的变化.结果表明,原水pH的下降滞后了PFC-HA絮体的出现.原水pH≥7.0时,随着投药量的增加,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数D2(lgA-lgdL)和D3(lgV1-lgdL)随之降低,表明絮体的结构越来越疏松;而原水pH=5.0时,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数存在波动.在PFC的最佳投药量时,水力条件的优化可以提高HA的去除效果,但随着原水pH的下降,HA去除效果的提高程度也随之减小.在最佳水力条件下,PFC-HA絮体的粒度为数百微米,其分形维数值较大,表明絮体的结构较为密实.此外,PFC-HA絮体的粒度分布具有(类)分形特征,最佳水力条件下正的D.值表明絮体的粒度分布趋向平稳.在整个混凝搅拌过程中,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数的变化是与混凝的溶液化学条件、搅拌时间和分形维数类型有关,其D2具有先上升后下降的趋势,这一过程中絮体结构先趋向密实,然后趋向疏松.而且慢速搅拌过程中絮体的尺度也是先增加后下降.     

微絮凝对腐殖酸超滤过程膜污染的减缓特性

以硫酸铝[Al_2(SO_4)_3·18H_2O]为絮凝剂,腐殖酸(humic acid,HA)和高岭土(Kaolin)水溶液为原水,研究微絮凝过程产生的不同絮体形态,对自制聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)超滤膜过滤过程的影响.主要考察了微絮凝过程中絮体的特性(粒径大小及分布,分形维数)以及不同条件下形成的絮体形态对膜通量的影响,利用扫描电镜(SEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)对污染膜的表面形貌进行表征,并测定了PVDF膜与有机污染物之间黏附力大小,来解析不同絮体形态对超滤膜的膜污染影响机制.结果表明,Al~(3+)以电性中和作用水解去除有机物,随着絮凝剂投加量的增加,絮体粒径不断增大,絮体的分形维数减小.膜通量衰减速率与絮体的粒径呈负相关,絮体粒径越大,膜通量衰减速率越小,超滤过程中形成的滤饼层越疏松,同时,较小分形维数的絮体引起的膜污染较轻,其膜通量恢复率也较高.PVDF-有机污染物之间的相互作用力大小与运行初期相应污染膜通量衰减速率呈正相关.当Al~(3+)投加量为5 mg·L~(-1),初始pH=7时,HA去除率为96.7%,膜通量衰减最小,通量恢复率达到88%.     

活性污泥絮体粒径分布与分形维数的影响因素

絮体粒径分布和分形维数是活性污泥的重要参数.应用激光粒度仪测量了好氧活性污泥絮体在絮凝过程的粒径分布,研究了速度梯度、VSS/SS、EPS含量及Zeta电位对絮体粒径分布的影响.结果表明,絮体平均粒径与速度梯度显著负相关(R2>0.80),与Kolmogorov尺度数量级基本相当,其间差异性与污泥VSS/SS、絮体强度等有关;相同的速度梯度下,絮体平均粒径与VSS/SS或EPS含量显著正相关(R2>0.85),与Zeta电位负相关.有机质和EPS在活性污泥絮凝中作用明显,会增强絮体强度,提升絮凝效果;EPS中蛋白质比多糖对絮凝的促进作用更明显.基于显微图像分析方法,得到了好氧活性污泥絮体二维分形维数为1.28~1.72,三维分形维数为1.70~2.69.絮体分形维数随VSS/SS或EPS含量的增加而减小;对于相同的活性污泥,絮体三维分形维数随粒径增大而减小,符合幂函数关系式.     

絮凝条件对絮体分形结构的影响

在85kg/m³的含沙高浊水中投加阳离子高分子聚合物,借助图像分析技术与沉降技术分析探讨了不同絮凝条件下泥沙絮凝形态学参数:絮体粒径、絮体有效质量密度、絮体自由沉速、浑液面沉速与上清液余浊等的变化规律.利用表征参数“分维”定量控制不同絮凝条件(如搅拌速率、搅拌时间、高分子浓度等)对含沙高浊水絮体结构分形特性的影响.实验证明,不合适的絮凝条件将导致絮体分形构造疏松脆弱,分维值低.絮凝条件合适时(快速絮凝强度为:r₁=300r/min,t₁=10s;慢速絮凝强度:r₂=120r/min,t₂=180s;CP浓度:0.1%),絮体分形结构处于最佳状态.该状态下的絮体具有粒径较大、沉速快、有效质量密度高、粒度分布均匀,分维值最高(D₃=2.16)的特点.而且,由静沉实验测得浑液面沉速高,上清液余浊也低.泥沙絮体分形结构达最佳时的混凝性能、沉降性能与结构密实性均较理想.     

不同水力条件下悬浮液絮体分形结构的研究

利用计算机MATLAB软件,在高浓度悬浮液混凝试验的基础上对选煤废水混凝过程中不同水力条件(搅拌速度和搅拌时间)下所拍摄的显微镜絮体图片进行处理,计算其分形维数,从而分析研究不同水力条件下所形成的絮体结构与对应的絮体平均沉降速度及处理出水浊度的关系。试验结果表明,在混凝剂加入的初始阶段,当搅拌速度v1为250r/min、搅拌时间t1为10s时,絮体结构最密实且接近球体,分形维数最大(Df=1.961 6),此时絮体沉降速度最快,混凝沉降效果最好,出水浊度可达170NTU。     

絮体老化与调节对回流进水及混凝的影响机制

为探索絮体老化与pH值调节对回流进水颗粒组成及混凝的影响,采用激光粒度仪进行了絮体粒径分析并通过Al （OH）₃胶体（Al-gel）的老化实验探究了老化与pH值调节对絮体形态及性质的内在影响机制.结果表明,原水颗粒物粒径呈现单峰分布,絮体回流进水颗粒物粒径呈现双峰分布,并且回流进水颗粒d₅₀随着絮体老化时间的增加而减小;由于絮体回流提高了颗粒物与混凝剂接触机率和碰撞效率,因此加快了絮体的生长;絮体在pH=5的环境下老化12h后进行回流混凝的絮体粒径生长速率最高（1.16 μm/s）并且生成的絮体具有较大的分形维数（2.35）.Al-gel的老化实验结果表明,絮体老化过程会涉及羟桥反应和结晶反应并导致絮体的表面活性基团数量减少,从而不利于与原水颗粒物的相互作用.pH值调节对絮体产生不同的影响,pH=5的条件下进行老化会加速絮体的羟桥反应和结晶反应,而pH=9的条件下进行老化则会涉及溶解-沉淀-结晶反应.     

壳聚糖助凝对三氯化铁絮体形态和强度的影响

采用三氯化铁(FeCl3)为混凝剂、壳聚糖(CTS)为助凝剂进行给水混凝处理,研究了CTS助凝对FeCl3絮体形态和强度的影响.结果表明,在FeCl3投加量为29mg/L(以Fe计)、CTS投加量为0.1mg/L条件下,CTS助凝对絮体形态和强度有明显影响,分形维数由单独投加FeCl3时的1.1855增加到CTS助凝后的1.3028,絮体强度因子(SF)由50~60变为60~70,CTS助凝后形成的絮体密实、易沉降,絮体强度大且不易破碎.另外,添加CTS助凝后,TOC、色度、UV254、浊度的去除均明显提高.     

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.     

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.     

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.

Effects of chitosan on growth of an aquatic plant (Hydrilla verticillata) in polluted waters with different chemical oxygen demands

Effects of chitosan on a submersed plant, Hydrilla verticillata, were investigated. Results indicated that H. venicillata could prevent ultrastructure phytotoxicities and oxidativereaction from polluted water with high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in H. verticillata treated with 0.1% chitosan in wastewater increased with high COD (980 mg/L) and decreased with low COD (63 mg/L), respectively. Ultrastructural analysis showed that the stroma and grana of chloroplast basically remained normal. However, plant cells from the control experiment (untreated with chitosan) were vacuolated and the cell interval increased. The relict of protoplast moved to the center, with cells tending to disjoint. Our findings indicate that wastewater with high COD concentration can cause a substantial damage to submersed plant, nevertheless, chitosan probably could alleviate the membrane lipid peroxidization and ultrastructure phytotoxicities, and protect plant cells from stress of high COD concentration polluted water.     

Removal of cadmium using MnO2 loaded D301 resin

MnO2 loaded weak basic anion exchange resin D301 （Anion exchange resin, macroreticular weak basic styrene） as adsorbent has been prepared and applied to the removal of cadmium. The adsorption characteristics have been investigated with respect to effect of pH, equilibrium isotherms, removal kinetic data, and interference of the coexisting ions. The results indicated that the Cd^2＋ could be efficiently removed using MnO2 loaded D301 resin in the pH range of 3-8 from aqueous solutions with the co-existence of high concentration of alkali and alkaline-earth metals ions. The saturate adsorption capacity of the Cd^2＋ was 77.88 mg/g. The adsorption process followed the pseudo first-order kinetics. The equilibrium data obtained in this study accorded excellently with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Effect of coagulation pretreatment on the fouling of ultrafiltration membrane

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect and mechanism of preventing membrane fouling, by coagulation pretreatment, in terms of fractional component and molecular weight of natural organic matter （NOM）. A relatively higher molecular weight （MW） of hydrophobic compounds was responsible for a rapid decline in the ultrafiltration flux. Coagulation could effectively remove the hydrophobic organics, resulting in the increase of flux. It was found that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds, which could remove inadequately by coagulation, was responsible for the slow declining flux. The fluxes in the filtration of coagulated water and supernatant water were compared and the results showed that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds remained in the supernatant water after coagulation could be rejected by a membrane, resulting in fouling. It was also found that the coagulated flocs could absorb neutral hydrophilic compounds effectively. Therefore, with the coagulated flocs formed on the membrane surface, the flux decline could be improved.     

Penetration analysis of elements and bioleaching treatment of spent refractory for recycling

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC23270 and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans TM-32 were used for bioleaching of spent refractories of aluminium and copper melting furnaces for their recycling.Firstly,penetration of elements into aluminium melting furnace refractory was investigated and it was found that up to 7 cm from surface was contaminated.Comparison on leaching efficiency by the strains ATCC23270 and TM-32 found that the strain ATCC23270 could treat larger amount of the refractories than the strain TM-32 could do.In the experiment of bioleaching of spent refractory aluminium melting furnace by the strain ATCC23270,high leaching efficiency were obtained on Al,Si,and Ca,and extremely low leaching performance was,however,shown on the rest of elements i.e.,Na,Mn,and Zn.Under the strain TM-32 use,relatively high leaching performance was recognized on Al,Si,Ca,Na,Mn,and Zn.In the experiment of bioleaching for spent refractory copper melting furnace,almost the same leaching trends were shown on Cu,Zn,Al,and Si under the strains ACTT23270 and TM-32 uses.     

Simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate by zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash as influenced by acid treatment

Zeolite synthesized from fly ash （ZFA） without modification is not efficient for the purification of NH4＋ and phosphate at low concentrations that occur in real effluents, despite the high potential removal capacity. To develop an effective technique to enhance the removal efficiency of ammonium and phosphate at low concentrations, ZFA was modified with acid treatment and the simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate in a wide range of concentration was investigated. It was seen that when compared with untreated ZFA, only the treatment by 0.01 mol/L of H2SO4 significantly improved the removal efficiency of ammonium at low initial concentrations. The behavior was well explained by the pH effect. Treatment by more concentrated H2SO4 led to the deterioration of the ZFA structure and a decrease in the cation exchange capacity. Treatment by 0.01 mol/L H2SO4 improved the removal efficiency of phosphate by ZFA at all initial P concentrations, while the treatment by concentrated H2SO4 （≥0.9 mol/L） resulted in a limited maximum phosphate immobilization capacity （PIC）. It was concluded that through a previous mild acid treatment （e.g. 0.01 mol/L of H2SO4）, ZFA can be used in the simultaneous removal of NH4＋ and P at low concentrations simulating real effluent.
