Electrochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter in a forest soil profile

Dissolved organic matter （DOM） represents one of the most mobile and reactive organic compounds in ecosystem and plays an important role in the fate and transport of soil organic pollutants, nutrient cycling and more importantly global climate change. Electrochemical methods were first employed to evaluate DOM redox properties, and spectroscopic approaches were utilized to obtain information concerning its composition and structure. DOM was extracted from a forest soil profile with five horizons. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that there were more redox-active moieties in the DOM from upper horizons than in that from lower horizons. Cyclic voltammetry further showed that these moieties were reversible in electron transfer. Chronoamperometry was employed to quantify the electron transfer capacity of DOM, including electron acceptor capacity and electron donor capacity, both of which decreased sharply with increasing depth. FT-IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra results suggested that DOM from the upper horizons was enriched with aromatic and humic structures while that from the lower horizons was rich in aliphatic carbon, which supported the findings obtained by electrochemical approaches. Electrochemical approaches combined with spectroscopic methods were applied to evaluate the characteristics of DOM extracted along a forest soil profile. The electrochemical properties of DOM, which can be rapidly and simply obtained, provide insight into the migration and transformation of DOM along a soil profile and will aid in better understanding of the biogeochemical role of DOM in natural environments.     

不同聚硅酸硫酸铁去除有机物及膜污染的影响

采用腐植酸、苯胺、海藻酸钠、羟丙基甲基纤维4种有机物分别模拟天然有机物中的疏水酸性、疏水碱性、亲水带电性及亲水中性4种有机物,使用"聚硅酸+Fe3+"、"聚硅酸+聚硫酸铁(PFS)"、"聚硅酸+Fe2++H2O2"3种不同聚合方式的聚硅酸硫酸铁(PFSS)进行水处理,并将絮凝处理后的废水上清液通过微滤膜,考察不同聚合方式PFSS对有机物的去除及膜污染的影响。实验结果表明:4种有机物最难去除的是苯胺和海藻酸钠,羟丙基甲基纤维素其次,腐殖酸最易去除;以"聚硅酸+PFS""、聚硅酸+Fe2++H2O2"方式聚合的絮凝剂与"聚硅酸+Fe3+"方式聚合的絮凝剂相比,去除产生可逆污染的腐植酸的比例相差不大,但去除产生不可逆污染加大的苯胺、海藻酸钠、羟丙基甲基纤维素3种有机物的比例明显增大,膜污染率虽然相对稍大,但更加可逆。

辽宁省典型城市空气中挥发性有机物健康风险评价

美国综合风险评估系统（IRIS）提供了污染物的参考剂量（RFD）和污染物参考浓度（RfC）的相关数据,但某些化合物的RFD和RfC数据不全,造成了风险评价的困难,基于RFD的风险评价很难确定污染物由呼吸系统的准确摄入量。应用SPSS软件剖析了RFD和RfC的相关性,提出了以RfC为基础的风险评价体系,与RFD评价结果对比表明：基于RfC的风险评价更能准确反映VOCs污染的风险。尝试应用RFD和RfC值对沈阳、鞍山、抚顺、葫芦岛四个城市空气中VOCs进行非致癌健康风险评价。

Transformations of particles, metal elements and natural organic matter in different water treatment processes

Characterizing natural organic matter （NOM）, particles and elements in different water treatment processes can give a useful information to optimize water treatment operations. In this article, transformations of particles, metal elements and NOM in a pilot-scale water treatment plant were investigated by laser light granularity system, particle counter, glass-fiber membrane filtration, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, ultra filtration and resin absorbents fractionation. The results showed that particles, NOM and trihalomethane formation precursors were removed synergistically by sequential treatment of different processes. Preozonation markedly changed the polarity and molecular weight of NOM, and it could be conducive to the following coagulation process through destabilizing particles and colloids; mid-ozonation enhanced the subsequent granular activated carbon （GAC） filtration process by decreasing molecular weight of organic matters. Coagulation-flotation and GAC were more efficient in removing fixed suspended solids and larger particles; while sand-filtration was more efficient in removing volatile suspended solids and smaller particles. Flotation performed better than sedimentation in terms of particle and NOM removal. The type of coagulant could greatly affect the performance of coagulation-flotation. Pre-hydrolyzed composite coagulant （HPAC） was superior to FeCl3 concerning the removals of hydrophobic dissolved organic carbon and volatile suspended solids. The leakages of flocs from sand-filtration and microorganisms from GAC should be mitigated to ensure the reliability of the whole treatment system.
