Rhodobacter sp. NP25b菌株缺氧降解壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚的研究

从城市污水处理厂活性污泥中分离得到一株能够在缺氧条件下以壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPEOs)为惟一碳源和能源生长的菌株NP25b.经生理生化鉴定和16S rRNA基因序列分析,该菌株属于红细菌属(Rhodobacter sp.),对该菌株降解NPEOs的特性进行了研究.结果表明,在缺氧条件下,菌株NP25b在7 d内对初始底物浓度为400 mg/L NPEOs的降解率可达84%.利用液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)和气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)对NPEOs降解中间产物进行了分析,结果表明,主要降解产物为短链NPEOs和壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚乙酸(NPECs),其中包括具有较强内分泌干扰效应的NP1EO.该菌株能够代谢含有疏水基团的聚氧乙烯醚类表面活性剂,例如辛基酚聚氧乙烯醚和脂肪醇聚氧乙烯醚.推测菌株NP25b降解NPEOs是通过乙氧基(EO)链末端氧化后逐步切割完成的.     

水溶液中活性成分对壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚光降解的影响

采用长波紫外灯(UV365)和模拟日光灯研究光化学活性成分对水溶液中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPEOs)光降解效率的影响,并讨论了光降解导致NPEOs成分分布的变化.研究表明,在UV365辐射下,亚硝酸根,Fe(Ⅲ),H2O2和腐殖酸(HA)等的存在对NPEOs96h的降解效率有较明显的促进作用;在模拟日光下,Mn(Ⅱ),Fe(Ⅲ),H2O2等对NPEOs的光降解也有一定的促进,而此条件下HA的存在则表现为对光降解的抑制作用.此外,还考察了NPEOs在不同比例的Fe(Ⅲ)-HA和Fe(Ⅲ)-H2O2复合体系中的光降解效率.除了导致光降解效率的提高外,活性成分的存在也会导致降解后NPEOs成分分布的变化.以在UV365辐射下为例,H2O2(1000 μmol·l-1)或Fe(Ⅲ)(10和100 μmol·l-1)的加入使反应后短链NPEOs所占比例从初始的22.52%明显提高至29.75%,29.89%和51.89%.这种成分分布的变化可能是由于长链NPEOs在降解过程中发生EO链衰减,从而使短链NPEOs成为其降解中间产物;或是由于长链NPEOs比其短链同系物具有更高的敏化降解速率所导致的.     

Growth factors, kinetics and biodegradation mechanism associated with Pseudomonas nitroreducens TX1 grown on octylphenol polyethoxylates

The growth properties and biodegradation mechanism of a Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudomonas nitroreducens TX1 that was able to grow on branched octylphenol polyethoxylates (OPEO(n), average n=9.5) as the sole carbon source over a wide concentration range (1-100,000 mgl(-1)) were studied. Analysis of growth factors indicated the highest specific growth rate (micro) of 0.53 h(-1) was obtained at an initial concentration of 5,000 mgl(-1) OPEO(n). An optimal C/N ratio of 12 was obtained for (NH(4))(2)SO(4) as the nitrogen source in a cultivated medium at pH 7. The kinetic analysis demonstrated that bacterial growth and OPEO(n) degradation followed the Monod equation and were based on a substrate concentration inhibition model and pseudo-first-order reaction, respectively. The substrate inhibition coefficient was over 18,000 mgl(-1) and this indicates that the strain has an ability to sustain growth at high concentrations of OPEO(n) and use it as the sole carbon source under such a stress condition. Furthermore, LC-MS analysis showed that the biodegradation mechanism of dodecyl octaethoxylate (AEO8) by P. nitroreducens TX1 was the sequential cleavage of the ethoxylate chain.

Octyl and nonylphenol ethoxylates and carboxylates in wastewater and sediments by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

This work presents an LC–MS–MS-based method for the quantitation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) and octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEOs) in water, sediment, and suspended particulate matter, and three of their carboxylated derivatives in water. The alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) were analyzed using isotope dilution mass spectrometry with [¹³C₆]-labeled analogues, whereas the carboxylated derivatives were determined by external standard quantitation followed by confirmation using standard additions. The method was used to study APEO’s behavior in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), where total dissolved NP0-16EO concentration was reduced by approximately 99% from influent (390 μg l⁻¹) to final effluent (4 μg l⁻¹), and total OP0-5EO concentration decreased by 94% from 3.1 to 0.2 μg l⁻¹. In contrast, the carboxylated derivatives were formed during the process with NP0-1EC concentrations increasing from 1.4 to 24 μg l⁻¹. Short-chain APEOs were present in higher proportions in particulate matter, presumably due to greater affinity for solids compared to the long-chain homologues. NP (0.49 μg l⁻¹) and NP0-1EC (4.8 μg l⁻¹) were the only APEO-related compounds detected in a surface water sample from a WWTP-impacted estuary; implying that 90% of the mass was in the form of carboxylated derivatives. Sediment analysis showed nonylphenol to be the single most abundant compound in sediments from the Baltimore Harbor area, where differences in homologue distribution suggested the presence of treated effluent in some of the sites and non-treated sources in the rest.     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在水溶液中的光降解行为研究

采用模拟日光灯和长波紫外灯（UVA-365nm）2种光源,对水溶液中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚（NPEOs）的光降解动力学、降解过程中NPEO同系物成分的变化、以及氧化剂过氧化氢的加入对光降解的影响进行了研究,并采用LC-MS对光降解的产物进行了分析.研究表明,实验周期内NPEOs在模拟日光和长波紫外光下均发生不同程度的光降解,降解速率常数分别为6.20×10^-3　μmol/(L·h)和1.18×10^-2　μmol/(L·h).在模拟日光下,在NPEOs降解过程中观察到短链的NPEO_1,3分布比例的增加,而在长波紫外光下的降解过程中并没有发现NPEO成分分布的变化.过氧化氢的加入对NPEOs的光降解具有明显的促进作用,特别是在模拟日光下,0.01 mmol/L和1.00 mmol/L H₂O₂的加入使NPEOs的96h降解率由20.9%分别提高至44.4%和91.5%.通过LC-MS分析,初步认为壬基酚三乙氧基乙酸的烷基氧化产物(CA_3～9PEC₃)是溶液中NPEOs光降解的主要产物,并据此推断了可能的反应历程.

从上海闵行区污水处理厂曝气池中的污泥和上海孙桥农业园区农田表层土壤样品中分离得到两株好氧降解菌株：B16-2（曝气池）和N1（农田）,都能够不同程度地降解辛基酚聚氧乙烯醚（OPEOn）.利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪对其好氧生物降解产物进行了表征和鉴别.结果表明,两株菌对OPEOn的好氧生物降解都产生了环境雌激素活性物质--辛基酚,从曝气池中分离出的B16-2好氧降解产生了丁基酚聚氧乙烯醚,从仙人掌土壤分离出的N1菌株降解以羟基端EO链的逐渐断裂为主要途径.     

胺基树脂吸附去除水中的壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚

使用氯球作为前驱体与二乙烯三胺在回流条件下反应合成一种胺基树脂,对胺基树脂的特征进行了表征,并研究了胺基树脂对水中的壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NP₁₀EO)的吸附行为.树脂的红外、元素分析及比表面积与平均孔径分析结果表明,胺基官能团成功地嫁接到树脂表面,胺基浓度为5.6 mmol/g,且胺基树脂的比表面积较氯球有较大增加.胺基树脂对NP₁₀EO的吸附等温线表明,温度的升高有利于吸附,在35 ℃下胺基树脂对NP₁₀EO的最高平衡吸附量达58.36 mg/g.采用Langmuir方程和Freundlich方程用于吸附等温线的解释,结果表明,吸附等温线更加符合Langmuir模型,相关系数(R2)均大于0.98. NP₁₀EO在胺基树脂上的吸附符合准二级动力学方程,初始ρ(NP_10EO)越低达到吸附平衡所需时间越短,初始ρ(NP_10EO)为9.41 mg/L的溶液能在2 h内达到吸附平衡.      

NPnEO在中国北方四城市污水处理厂的污染研究

测定了中国北方4个城市污水处理厂进、出水中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPnEO,n为聚合度)及其代谢产物的浓度及分布,同时测定了其中2个污水处理厂污泥中上述物质的浓度和分布,初步探讨了NPnEO在城市污水处理过程中的迁移转化行为.结果表明:在4个城市污水处理厂的进、出水及其中2个厂的污泥中均检测到了浓度不等的NPnEO及其代谢产物;NPnEO在各城市污水处理厂都得到了一定程度的降解去除,去除率为23.38%～77.11%,平均为52.86%;NPnEO大分子组分降解成了小分子组分,但并未完全矿化;出水中以壬基酚(NP)、壬基酚一乙氧基醚(NP1EO)和壬基酚二乙氧基醚(NP2EO)小分子组分的浓度高.这些小分子产物都具有比母体化合物更高的毒性,并具有环境内分泌干扰性质,因此污水处理过程不但没有降低反而增加了生态风险,是环境中小分子NPnEO的主要来源;污泥对NPnEO,特别是小分子代谢产物有良好的吸附性能,其在污泥中的浓度水平较高,合理处置污泥避免二次污染值得进一步研究探讨.
