通过纳米铁对磷酸根和硫离子的单吸附和竞争吸附的研究,从吸附动力学和吸附等温线两个方面分析并验证了其吸附特性和模式。分析表明,相对于磷酸根,纳米铁对硫离子的吸附能力更强,在竞争条件下居优势地位。采用准一级和准二级吸附动力学方程对实验数据进行模拟分析,结果表明,纳米铁对磷酸根和硫离子的吸附符合二级动力学方程。吸附等温线分析采用Freundlich和Langmuir吸附等温线方程模拟分析,分析结果表明,纳米铁颗粒对磷酸根的吸附符合Freundlich吸附模式,而对硫离子的吸附符合Langmuir吸附模式。     

原位水解生成的羟基氧化铁凝聚吸附除磷效能与机制简

将不同摩尔比Fe³⁺与OH^-（[Fe³⁺]：[OH^-]=1：0、1：1、1：2和1：3）反应获得原位水解生成的羟基氧化铁（in situ FeO_xH_y）,研究了具有不同水解程度的羟基氧化铁对凝聚吸附除磷效能与机制。研究显示,In situ FeO_xH_y对磷的去除率随铁投量增大而升高,且均在中性pH范围内具有最佳除磷效果;在相同铁投量条件下,磷去除率随着[OH^-]：[Fe³⁺]的升高而降低;当体系碱度较低时（pH<6）,引入OH^-可促进Fe³⁺水解而提高除磷效果。4种羟基氧化铁均可在15 s内可快速吸附磷,且吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型;Freundlich模型均可很好地描述磷在4种羟基氧化铁表面的吸附行为。磷酸盐吸附后,In situ FeO_xH_y表面Zeta电位明显降低,且[Fe³⁺]：[OH^-]为1：0的羟基氧化铁降低最为显著。结合MINITEQ计算软件磷酸盐、铁盐形态分析结果显示,对于碱度较低的体系,通过投加一定量OH^-可促进Fe³⁺水解,进而使得其更易与水中H₂PO₄^-与HPO₄^2-结合,生成具有多核羟基的磷酸铁络合物,进而提高除磷效果。     

Occurrence of perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in personal care products and compounding agents

Perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs), including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are persistent organic pollutants that pose human health risks. However, sources of contamination and exposure pathways of PFCAs have not been explored. In this study, PFCA concentrations were quantified in personal care products. Among 24 samples that listed fluorinated compounds, such as polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs), in their international nomenclature of cosmetic ingredients (INCI) labels, 21contained PFCAs (13 of 15 cosmetic samples, and 8 of 9 sunscreen samples). The concentrations of total PFCAs ranged from not detected to 5.9 μg g⁻¹ for cosmetics and from not detected to 19 μg g⁻¹ for sunscreens. We also investigated components of PFCAs in cosmetics and sunscreens. Commercially available compounding agents, mica and talc, which were treated with PAPs were analyzed and high concentrations of PFCAs were detected (total PFCAs 2.5 μg g⁻¹ for talc treated with PAPs, 35.0 μg g⁻¹ for mica treated with PAPs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on contamination of end consumer products containing PAPs with high concentrations of PFCAs.     

Oral administration of potassium bromate, a major water disinfection by-product, induces oxidative stress and impairs the antioxidant power of rat blood

Potassium bromate (KBrO₃) is a widely used food additive, a water disinfection by-product and a known nephrotoxic agent. The effect of KBrO₃ on rat blood, especially on the anti-oxidant defense system, was studied in this work. Animals were given a single oral dose of KBrO₃ (100 mg/kg body weight) and sacrificed 12, 24, 48, 96 and 168 h after this treatment. Blood was collected from the animals and separated into plasma and erythrocytes. KBrO₃ administration resulted in increased lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, hydrogen peroxide levels and decreased the reduced glutathione content indicating the induction of oxidative stress in blood. Methemoglobin levels and methemoglobin reductase activity were significantly increased while the total anti-oxidant power was greatly reduced upon KBrO₃ treatment. Nitric oxide levels were enhanced while vitamin C concentration decreased in KBrO₃ treated animals. The activities of major anti-oxidant enzymes were also altered upon KBrO₃ treatment. The maximum changes in all these parameters were 48 h after the administration of KBrO₃ and then recovery took place. These results show for the first time that KBrO₃ induces oxidative stress in blood and impairs the anti-oxidant defense system. Thus impairment in the anti-oxidant power and alterations in the activities of major anti-oxidant enzymes may play an important role in mediating the toxic effects of KBrO₃ in the rat blood. The study of such biochemical events in blood will help elucidate the molecular mechanism of action of KBrO₃ and also for devising methods to overcome its toxic effects.     

Laboratory experiments on simultaneous removal of K and P from synthetic and real urine for nutrient recycle by crystallization of magnesium-potassium-phosphate-hexahydrate in a draft tube and baffle reactor

The simultaneous removal of K and P from urine for nutrient recycling by crystallization of magnesium potassium phosphate hexahydrate (MPP) in a laboratory-scale draft tube and baffle reactor (DTBR) is investigated. Results show that mixing speed and hydraulic retention time are important operating factors that influence crystallization and crystal settlement. Slurry should be discharged at a crystal retention time of 11 h to maintain fluidity in the reactor. Further applications of the DTBR using real urine (pretreated by ammonia stripping and diluted five times) showed that 76% K and 68% P were recycled to multi-nutrient products. The crystals collected were characterized and confirmed mainly as a mixture of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate, MPP, and magnesium sodium phosphate heptahydrate. Results indicate that the DTBR effectively achieved the simultaneous recycling of K and P from urine to multi-nutrient products through MPP crystallization.     

酸碱联合调节剩余污泥过程中氮、磷和有机质的释放

实现城市污泥的减量化和资源化是污水厂面临的难题之一。通过采用(1)先酸性(pH=3)后碱性(pH=10)、(2)先碱性(pH=10)后酸性(pH=3)的两段控制方式(每段反应8 d),同时做pH不调的对比实验,研究剩余污泥水解酸化过程中氨氮、磷酸盐和溶解性COD(SCOD)、碳水化合物、蛋白质和挥发性脂肪酸(VFAs)等有机质组分的释放。结果表明,酸碱联合调节有利于各组分的释放;氮和磷在酸性条件下的释放量大于碱性,有机质在碱性条件下的释放量大于酸性;采用(2)方式,调为酸性后反应1 d,氨氮的释放量即达到最大(17.28 mg/g TS);采用(1)的调节方式反应7 d,磷酸盐能达到最佳释放量(14.16 mg/g TS);总VFAs的产生受反应时间的影响较大,其余有机质组分在(2)的调节方式下,6 d左右即可达到较大释放量。     

磷酸盐对硫化亚铁(FeS)吸附Sb (Ⅲ)的影响机理研究

还原环境（如湖泊、海洋沉积物）中，FeS是重金属的重要载体。在富营养化过程中，磷酸盐可能对重金属在FeS上的吸附行为产生重要影响。本文通过不同pH、磷酸盐浓度的批次试验，结合X射线衍射仪（XRD）和场发射透射电子电镜-能谱仪（TEM-EDS）固体分析手段，进行磷酸盐对FeS吸附Sb （Ⅲ）的影响研究。结果表明：酸性和中性条件下，磷酸盐会与FeS溶解释放的Fe （Ⅱ）反应生成磷酸亚铁沉淀，促进FeS溶解，同时释放出更多的H₂S （aq）/HS^-与Sb （Ⅲ）结合形成Sb₂S₃沉淀，从而促进溶液中Sb （Ⅲ）的吸附。碱性条件下，FeS对Sb （Ⅲ）只有吸附作用，而磷酸盐会占据FeS表面部分的吸附位点，与Sb （Ⅲ）形成竞争关系，进而抑制溶液中Sb （Ⅲ）的吸附。
