Molecular characterization of effluent organic matter in secondary effluent and reclaimed water: Comparison to natural organic matter in source water

Municipal wastewater reclamation is becoming of increasing importance in the world to solve the problem of water scarcity. A better understanding of the molecular composition of effluent organic matter(Ef OM) in the treated effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs) is crucial for ensuring the safety of water reuse. In this study, the molecular composition of Ef OM in the secondary effluent of a WWTP in Beijing and the reclaimed water further treated with a coagulation–sedimentation–ozonation process were characterized using a non-target Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR MS) method and compared to that of natural organic matter(NOM) in the local source water from a reservoir. It was found that the molecular composition of Ef OM in the secondary effluent and reclaimed water was dominated by CHOS formulas, while NOM in the source water was dominated by CHO formulas. The CHO formulas of the three samples had similar origins. Anthropogenic surfactants were responsible for the CHOS formulas in Ef OM of the secondary effluent and were not well removed by the coagulation-sedimentation-ozonation treatment process adopted.     

新冠疫情对我国NO2排放影响的时空分析

基于高分辨率的TROPOMI数据,分析了我国疫情爆发期的NO₂空间分布情况,同时对比了疫情同比期和环比期不同地区的变化情况.分析表明,全国范围内NO₂柱浓度的同比下降率和环比下降率分别为40.46%和50.09%,经济发达且人口稠密的城市群,排放量下降较为显著,其中江苏、河南、山东、浙江等NO₂历史排放较高的省份受疫情影响更大.湖北省疫情期的NO₂柱浓度绝对值(1.63×10¹⁵molec/cm²)在中东部省份属于最低位水平,同比和环比下降率也均在50%以上.相对来说,武汉、孝感等周边城市的影响远大于十堰、恩施等西部山区.地基国控站点的NO₂质量浓度也显示了与卫星观测较一致的空间分布和变化趋势,证明了采用“自上而下”的遥感手段,可以对不同区域的大气污染排放强度和社会经济活动水平进行快速评估.     

电动法修复苯酚污染土壤的实验研究

选用西北地区砂土为供试土壤,苯酚作为实验模拟研究的有机污染物,在电动修复技术的基础上加入超声波,联合降解土壤中的苯酚污染物。结果表明,电动技术修复苯酚污染土壤时,加入超声波有利于苯酚的迁移和富集。含水率的增加可以使苯酚的迁移距离增大,当土壤含水率为16％时,富集量可达到153％。超声波的声强可以使苯酚的迁移幅度增大,最大富集率可达到105％。因此,电动法联合超声波降解苯酚效果显著,具有良好的应用前景。     

北京地铁站灰尘中重金属污染特征及健康风险评价

采集了北京地铁16个站点灰尘的样本,测定了灰尘中7种重金属Cr、Cd、Cu、Ni、Hg、Pb、As的浓度,并采用地累积指数法、美国EPA风险评价模型和Spearman相关系数分析,对重金属污染程度、人体健康风险及来源进行分析.结果表明, Cr、Cd、Cu、Ni、Hg、Pb、As的含量分别为131.92,1.11,67.33,41.77,0.35,437.41,9.09mg/kg,均超过北京土壤背景值.地累积指数呈现Pb>Hg>Cd>Cr>Cu>Ni>As,其中Pb、Hg、Cd分别为3.77,3.12,2.16,达到严重污染.人体健康风险评价表明,存在的非致癌风险依次为Pb>Cr>As>Ni>Cu>Hg>Cd,除Pb外,均不构成明显的风险.Cr、Cd、Ni、As致癌风险均低于风险阈值,不会对人体造成健康危害.人类活动、刹车系统和轨道摩擦可能是造成地铁站灰尘重金属来源的原因.

Concurrent catalytic removal of typical volatile organic compound mixtures over Au-Pd/α-MnO2 nanotubes

α-MnO_2 nanotubes and their supported Au-Pd alloy nanocatalysts were prepared using hydrothermal and polyvinyl alcohol-protected reduction methods, respectively. Their catalytic activity for the oxidation of toluene/m-xylene, acetone/ethyl acetate, acetone/m-xylene and ethyl acetate/m-xylene mixtures was evaluated. It was found that the interaction between Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles and α-MnO_2 nanotubes significantly improved the reactivity of lattice oxygen, and the 0.91 wt.% Au0.48 Pd/α-MnO_2 nanotube catalyst outperformed the α-MnO_2 nanotube catalyst in the oxidation of toluene, m-xylene, ethyl acetate and acetone. Over the0.91 wt.% Au0.48 Pd/α-MnO_2 nanotube catalyst,(i) toluene oxidation was greatly inhibited in the toluene/m-xylene mixture, while m-xylene oxidation was not influenced;(ii) acetone and ethyl acetate oxidation suffered a minor impact in the acetone/ethyl acetate mixture; and(iii) m-xylene oxidation was enhanced whereas the oxidation of the oxygenated VOCs(volatile organic compounds) was suppressed in the acetone/m-xylene or ethyl acetate/m-xylene mixtures. The competitive adsorption of these typical VOCs on the catalyst surface induced an inhibitive effect on their oxidation, and increasing the temperature favored the oxidation of the VOCs. The mixed VOCs could be completely oxidized into CO_2 and H_2 O below 320°C at a space velocity of 40,000 m L/(g·hr). The 0.91 wt.% Au0.48 Pd/α-MnO_2 nanotube catalyst exhibited high catalytic stability as well as good tolerance to water vapor and CO_2 in the oxidation of the VOC mixtures. Thus, the α-MnO_2 nanotube-supported noble metal alloy catalysts hold promise for the efficient elimination of VOC mixtures.
