2,4-D对铜在蒙脱石上吸附与释放的影响

研究了在2，4-D的影响下，Cu^2 在蒙脱石上的吸附与脱附行为．结果表明．有2，4-D存在时，Cu^2 在蒙脱石上的吸附低于单纯Cu^2 的吸附，而当蒙脱石先吸附2,4-D后再吸附Cu^2 (连续吸附)时，Cu^2 的吸附比二者同时存在时(同时吸附)的效果好，表明两种吸附质间存在竞争吸附．研究还表明，所有的吸附过程都符合Langmuir和Freundlich吸附等温模型．在有2，4-D同时存在时，Cu^2 的脱附最大，可达30％；而单纯Cu^2 在蒙脱石上的吸附似乎是不可逆的，脱附百分比最小。

几种电解质对土壤吸附Cu2+的影响

采用平衡吸附法研究了潮褐土、红壤对Cu^2 的等温吸附以及不同pH和电解质对土壤吸附Cu^2 的影响。结果表明，(1)土壤对Cu^2 的吸附量随平衡溶液中Cu^2 浓度增加而增加，潮褐土CuCu^2 最大吸附量明显比红壤的高，约是红壤的4—5倍。(2)体系pH显著影响土壤对Cu^2 的吸附，随pH升高Cu^2 吸附率增加，基本呈S形曲线变化。(3)随体系电解质浓度的增加，土壤对Cu^2 吸附率的变化趋势因土壤性质及体系中电解质种类、浓度的不同而不同。随KNO3浓度提高，土壤Cu^2 吸附率降低。KCl、KH2PO4对潮褐土吸附Cu^2 的影响与红壤的有些不同，低浓度KCl、KH2PO4抑制潮褐土对Cu^2 的吸附，高浓度KCl、KH2PO4促进潮褐土对Cu^2 的吸附，面对红壤。KCl降低Cu^2 的吸附率，KH2PO4提高Cu^2 的吸附率，但随KH2PO4浓度的提高，其提高幅度逐渐减弱。

采用城市污水处理厂产生的活性污泥研究了影响污泥吸附Zn^2 ，Cu^2 和Cd^2 三种重金属离子的主要因素，在实验条件下，温度对污泥吸附重金属的影响并不显著，而体系Ph值和吸附时间等的影响较为重要，活性污泥对Cu^2 的吸附符合Langmuir模型，Zn^2 则与Freundlich模型的符合程度优于Langmuir模型，Cu^2 的吸附与两个模型的符合程度一致，另外，活性污泥对Cu^2 离子的吸附性能明显高于其他离子，但在实验中未发现不同金属离子之间存在明显吸附抑制或促进。     

不同温度胁迫方式对中华绒螯蟹免疫化学指标的影响

为研究温度骤变在水生动物病害发生中的可能作用，本研究以中华绒螯蟹为材料，将环境温度从20℃突然升高或下降，然后在不同时间取样分析，从免疫学的角度探讨了不同的温度改变方式对中华绒螯蟹抗氧化能力的影响．研究结果表明，（1）在2h内将饲养水温从20℃升至32℃，然后在30min内降至20℃，中华绒螯蟹的血细胞密度（DHC）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活力先升高后下降，6h时出现峰值，3d后趋于稳定，丙二醛（MDA）的含量变化则呈相反趋势；（2）在24h内将饲养水温从20℃降至8℃，其DHC随时间的延长而逐渐降低，SOD和CAT先增加后下降，在d1出现峰值；而MDA的含量先下降后升高，在d3出现峰值，但总的来说，MDA的含量均高于0h处理组；（3）在24h内水温从20℃升至32℃，其SOD和CAT在温度变化6h后呈升高趋势，而后逐渐下降，DHC的变化无一定规律，但均明显低于0h处理组，MDA的含量随时间延长而增加．以上结果表明，温度胁迫使中华绒螯蟹机体抗氧化能力下降，从而导致机体的氧化代谢失衡和免疫防御能力下降．

Seaweed for climate mitigation,wastewater treatment,bioenergy, bioplastic,biochar, food,pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics: a review

The development and recycling of biomass production can partly solve issues of energy, climate change, population growth, food and feed shortages, and environmental pollution. For instance, the use of seaweeds as feedstocks can reduce our reliance on fossil fuel resources, ensure the synthesis of cost-effective and eco-friendly products and biofuels, and develop sustainable biorefinery processes. Nonetheless, seaweeds use in several biorefineries is still in the infancy stage compared to terrestrial plants-based lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, here we review seaweed biorefineries with focus on seaweed production, economical benefits, and seaweed use as feedstock for anaerobic digestion, biochar, bioplastics, crop health, food, livestock feed, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Globally, seaweeds could sequester between 61 and 268 megatonnes of carbon per year, with an average of 173 megatonnes. Nearly 90% of carbon is sequestered by exporting biomass to deep water, while the remaining 10% is buried in coastal sediments. 500 gigatonnes of seaweeds could replace nearly 40% of the current soy protein production. Seaweeds contain valuable bioactive molecules that could be applied as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulants, and in other cosmetics and skincare products.

     

Lead,cadmium, copper,zinc, iron,and calcium in human hair as a function of gender,age, smoking,and hair dyeing

Hair samples were collected randomly from 110 subjects (55 male and 55 female) ranging in age from (<15–60) years. Each subject was asked to complete a personal questionnaire describing his/her sex, age, general health, smoking, use of hair dyes, occupational area, and living habits. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Ca in human hair samples were evaluated using atomic absorption spectrometry. Results indicated that concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in the hair of smokers were higher than those in the hair of non-smokers, whereas, Fe and Ca concentrations in hair of smokers were lower than those in hair of non-smokers. Moreover, the concentrations of these elements are higher in dyed hair compared with undyed hair.     

Metal passivity as mechanism of metal carcinogenesis: Chromium,nickel, iron,copper, cobalt,platinum, molybdenum

For the transition metals chromium, nickel, iron, copper, cobalt, platinum, and molybdenum, mechanisms of stable bonding in biochemistry (emphasis on carcinogenic mechanisms), chemistry, industrial chemistry, as well as epidemiological, occupational, orthopedic (implant devices) effects related to carcinogenesis, were reviewed. Hypothetically, the propensity to stable bonding (inertness), which ensures the metals’ performance capacity for consumers and industrial application, relates to their carcinogenicity. For chromium, a relationship between industrial/chemical and biological reactivity was noted for the tendency of Cr(III) ions to cause hydrolysis previous to stable bonding, as occurs during anodic passivation, leather tanning, and as indicated in biochemical studies pertaining to a mechanism of DNA condensation, which was suggested as a carcinogenic mechanism. The involvement of metal hydrolysis in both anodic passivation and biochemistry was noted also for nickel, iron, and platinum; the DNA interaction of platinum (cis-platin) is known to depend on hydrolysis. For nickel, issues of potential (V) were found important in both passivation and carcinogenicity. Comparably, the passivity behavior of cobalt and copper was found atypical, and their carcinogenicity yet unclear. Molybdenum, contained in passivated metallic implants, may relate to implant-associated carcinogenesis. Occupational carcinogenic effects were indicated for chromium, nickel, iron, and cobalt as caused by both reactive and passivated metal species. Exposure to acids and chronic respiratory irritation/infection/inflammation in workers were important cofactors in metal carcinogenesis. For wood and leather workers exposed to dust, the assumed presence in dust of metal particles abraded from alloys (sawing or cutting blades) may be a carcinogenic exposure hazard.     

Concentrations of V,Cr, Mn,Fe, Ni,Co, Cu,Zn, As and Cd in mesopelagic crustaceans from the North East Atlantic Ocean

Specimens of oceanic decapods, mysids and euphausiids, collected from the North East Atlantic Ocean during July 1985, were analysed for V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, As and Cd. Measurement of the metals was carried out using two techniques: inductively-coupled plasma-source mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic absorption (AAS). With the exception of the iron data, good agreement was observed between the data from the two techniques. Baseline-metal data are presented for the species measured, along with any effects of animal size on metal concentration. The data presented for oceanic animals from different trophic levels are important in studies of metal fluxes and for the assessment of markers within the food web in the oceans.
