Polynomial response of 2,4-D mineralization to temperature in soils at varying soil moisture contents,slope positions and depths

The herbicide 2,4-D [2,4-(dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] is a widely used broadleaf control agent in cereal production systems. Although 2,4-D soil-residual activity (half-lives) are typicaly less than 10 days, this herbicide also has as a short-term leaching potential due to its relatively weak retention by soil constituents. Herbicide residual effects and leaching are influenced by environmental variables such as soil moisture and temperature. The objective of this study was to determine impacts of these environmental variables on the magnitude and extent of 2,4-D mineralization in a cultivated undulating Manitoba prairie landscape. Microcosm incubation experiments were utilized to assess 2,4-D half-lives and total mineralization using a 4 × 4 × 3 × 2 factorial design (with soil temperature at 4 levels: 5, 10, 20 and 40°C; soil moisture at 4 levels: 60, 85, 110, 135 % of field capacity; slope position at 3 levels: upper-, mid- and lower-slopes; and soil depth at 2 levels: 0–5 cm and 5–15 cm). Half-lives (t_1/2) varied from 3 days to 51 days with the total 2,4-D mineralization (M _T ) ranging from 5.8 to 50.9 %. The four-way interaction (temperature × moisture × slope × depth) significantly (p< 0.001) influenced both t_1/2 and M _T. Second-order polynomial equations best described the relations of temperature with t_1/2 and M_T as was expected from a biological system. However, the interaction and variability of t_1/2 and M_T among different temperatures, soil moistures, slope positions, and soil depth combinations indicates that the complex nature of these interacting factors should be considered when applying 2,4-D in agricultural fields and in utilizing these parameters in pesticide fate models.

Effect of feeding time on the performance of a sequencing batch reactor treating a mixture of 4-CP and 2,4-DCP

This paper investigated the biodegradation kinetics of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) separately in batch reactors and mixed in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). Batch reactor experiments showed that both 4-CP and 2,4-DCP began to inhibit their own degradation at 53 and 25 mg l(-1), respectively, and that the Haldane equation gave a good fit to the experimental data because r(2) values were higher than 0.98. The maximum specific degradation rates (q(m)) were 130.3 and 112.4 mg g(-1) h for 4-CP and 2,4-DCP, respectively. The values of the half saturation (K(s)) and self-inhibition constants (K(i)) were 34.98 and 79.74 mg l(-1) for 4-CP, and 13.77 and 44.46 mg l(-1) for 2,4-DCP, respectively. The SBR was fed with a mixture of 220 mg l(-1) of 4-CP, 110 mg l(-1) of 2,4-DCP, and 300 mg l(-1) of peptone as biogenic substrate at varying feeding periods (0-8h) to evaluate the effect of feeding time on the performance of the SBR. During SBR operation, in addition to self-inhibition, 4-CP degradation was strongly and competitively inhibited by 2,4-DCP. The inhibitory effects were particularly pronounced during short feeding periods because of higher chlorophenol peak concentrations in the reactor. The competitive inhibition constant (K(ii)) of 2,4-DCP on 4-CP degradation was 0.17 mg l(-1) when the reactor was fed instantaneously (0 h feeding). During longer feedings, increased removal/loading rates led to lower chlorophenol peak concentrations at the end of feeding. Therefore, in multi-substrate systems feeding time plus reaction time should be determined based on both degradation kinetics and substrate interaction. During degradation, the meta cleavage of 4-chlorocatechol resulted in accumulation of a yellowish color because of the formation of 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (CHMS), which was further metabolized. Isolation and enrichment of the chlorophenols-degrading culture suggested Pseudomonas sp. and Pseudomonas stutzeri to be the dominant species.     

Photodegradation of 2,4-D induced by NO2- in aqueous solutions：The role of NO2

To elucidate the effect of nitrite ion （NO2^-） on the photodegradation of organic pollutants, a 300 W mercury lamp and Pyrex tubes restricting the transmission of wavelengths below 290nm were used to simulate sunlight, and the photodegradation processes of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （2,4-D） with different concentrations of NO2^- in freshwater and seawater were studied. The effect of reactive oxygen species （ROS） on the photolysis of 2,4-D was also demonstrated using electron paramagnetic resonance （EPR）. The results indicated that the 2,4-D photolysis reaction followed the first-order kinetics in freshwater and seawater under different concentrations of NO2^-. Meanwhile, the photochemical reaction rate of 2,4-D increased with increasing concentration of NO2^-. When the concentration of NO2^- was lower than 23 mg/L, the photodegradation rate of 2,4-D in seawater was higher than that in freshwater. However, when the concentration of NO2^- was reached 230 mg/L, 2,4-D degradation slowed down in seawater. It was important to note that EPR spectra showed NO2 radical was generated in the NO5 solution under simulated sunlight irradiation, indicating that 2,4-D photodegradation could be induced by NO2. These results show the key role of NO2^- in photochemistry and are helpful for better understanding of the phototransformation of environmental contaminants in natural aquatic systems.     

微生物燃料电池强化去除农药2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸及同步产电性能

研究了广泛应用的农药2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4-D)存在对微生物燃料电池(microbial fuel cell,MFCs)产电性能、污染物去除及微生物群落结构的影响,并探讨了阳极预曝气对2,4-D的强化去除及产电影响.结果表明,向以乙酸钠为燃料的双室型微生物燃料电池阳极室内加入2,4-D,会降低系统输出电压,降低功率密度,增加内阻.当300 mg·L~(-1)的2,4-D与乙酸钠(850 mg·L~(-1))共存时,与乙酸钠单基质相比,最大功率密度从0.151 W·m~(-2)迅速下降到0.057 W·m~(-2),内阻相应从524Ω增加到1 230Ω.为了加快系统中2,4-D的去除,减少其对产电菌的抑制效应,采用阳极预曝气6 h的运行方式,显著提高了2,4-D去除效率,同时获得了0.42~0.47 V的最高输出电压.2,4-D加入后MFC阳极微生物群落结构发生了变化,选择出了多种2,4-D降解菌及具有2,4-D耐受能力的产电菌.研究表明,可以通过阳极预曝气方式强化2,4-D去除的同时从MFCs系统回收电能.     

Determination of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in food and water samples using a modified graphene oxide sorbent and high-performance liquid chromatography

Abstract

In the present work, dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-μ-SPE) method using magnetic graphene oxide tert-butylamine (GO/Fe₃O₄/TBA) nanocomposite, as an efficient sorbent, was applied for determining 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in water and food samples. Detection was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument. Influential parameters of D-μ-SPE such as sorbent and its amount, elution solvent and its volume, adsorption and desorption times and pH of sample solution were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, limit of detection and quantitation values were 0.007 and 0.02?μg/mL, respectively. Recovery data for several real samples were obtained within the range of 88.0–94.0% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 7.5%. The proposed method was successfully applied to quantitative determination of 2,4-D in several vegetables and water samples.     

·OH自由基介导2,4-二氯酚光降解机理及产物毒性变化特征的理论研究

由于2,4-二氯酚(2,4-dichlorophenol,简称2,4-DCP)具有"三致"作用及潜在的生态风险,其光化学降解机理及产物的生态毒理效应目前成为人们关注的焦点。本研究采用理论化学计算手段,系统阐明了2,4-DCP在水环境中·OH介导的间接光化学转化机理、动力学和转化产物的生态毒性变化特征。结果表明2,4-DCP很容易被·OH氧化降解,其降解主要通过·OH-加成和H-迁移路径进行。在低温条件下·OH-加成路径将占主导,主要形成4,6-二氯苯-1,3-二酚;而当温度超过313 K时,·OH提取酚羟基上的氢原子为主要降解途径,主要形成2-氯苯-对苯醌。尤其在活性物种浓度较低的高温环境中,H-迁移路径有可能生成二噁英。计算毒理学结果表明:H-迁移产物的水生毒性超过·OH-加成产物,甚至超出母体2,4-DCP一个毒性等级。因此,我们建议在以后的环境监测以及风险评估过程中,关注2,4-DCP及其转化产物特别是H-迁移路径的转化产物的生态毒理学问题。

苯酚存在对生物强化系统降解2,4-二氯酚的影响

研究了采用生物强化技术降解废水中2,4-二氯酚(简称2,4-DCP)时,不同浓度的苯酚存在对生物强化系统降解2,4-DCP的影响,并通过半连续流实验研究了苯酚长期存在下强化系统中2,4-DCP和苯酚生物降解速率的变化趋势.结果表明,苯酚浓度为10mg/L,50mg/L,100 mg/L及300mg/L时,都会对强化系统中2,4-DCP的降解速率产生一定的抑制作用,而且抑制作用随着苯酚浓度的增加而增强.不同浓度的苯酚与2,4-DCP长期共存时,2,4-DCP的降解速率表现出下降的趋势,而苯酚的降解速率则有所增强.     

Cd胁迫下不同外源植物激素对水稻幼苗抗氧化系统及Cd吸收积累的影响

为了探讨外源添加植物激素对Cd胁迫下水稻幼苗的抗氧化系统及Cd吸收积累情况的影响,减少Cd在植物体内的运输和积累,从而来缓解Cd对水稻的胁迫.以中嘉早17水稻幼苗为研究对象,进行水培试验,设置0、5和25 μmol·L^-1这3个Cd浓度处理,3种外源植物激素处理：不添加植物激素、100 μmol·L^-1褪黑素（MT）、0.2 μmol·L^-12,4-表油菜素内酯（EBL）和0.2 μmol·L^-1茉莉酸（JA）,共12个处理,每个处理重复3次.测定水稻幼苗体内Cd的含量,同时也对水稻幼苗地上部及根部丙二醛（MDA）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）含量进行分析.结果表明,在5 μmol·L^-1和25 μmol·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,外源添加MT、EBL和JA使地上部MDA含量显著降低了11%~24%,但是根系与地上部情况恰好相反,添加3种外源物质均导致根系中MDA含量增加,其中MT和EBL现象明显,在5 μmol·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,与CK相比,分别提高了45.5%和20.0%;在25 μmol·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,分别提高了46.2%和19.8%.外源添加植物激素可显著增加水稻幼苗地上部和地下部POD、CAT的活性,降低GSH以及Cd的含量,在5 μmol·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,添加MT、EBL和JA导致水稻地上部Cd含量分别降低39.4%、40.1%和51.6%,根部分别降低38.9%、40.2%和7.0%;25 μmol·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,地上部Cd含量分别降低18.9%、14.5%和35.6%,根部分别降低85.3%、81.1%和56.5%.由此可见,通过外源添加低浓度植物激素MT、EBL和JA,可缓解Cd对水稻的胁迫,降低Cd对水稻的毒害作用.
