Improved Cu and Zn sorption on oxidized wheat lignocellulose

We studied the effect an oxidizing treatment of a lignocellulosic substrate, extracted from wheat bran, on the sorption of Cu and Zn. Oxidizing agents, such as potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) or sodium periodate (NaIO₄), creates oxygenated functions, e.g. alcohol and carboxylic acid, which increase the density of functional sites and the binding capacity of lignocellulose towards copper and zinc. We found that the treatment with KMnO₄ is the most efficient, with an increase of about 30–40% metal ion binding, compared to 15–25% using NaIO₄. The investigation of the oxidation process shows that the efficiency of KMnO₄ can be attributed to its affinity towards insaturated double bonds of lignin entities. Oxidized lignocellulose is thus a promising, efficient, and cheap biomaterial for the decontamination of wastewater.

高效重金属捕集剂EDTC的结构表征及对酸性络合铜的去除特性研究

以乙二胺和二硫化碳为反应物,无水乙醇和去离子水的混合溶液为溶剂,制备了一种巯基类重金属捕集剂N,N-双(二硫代羧基)乙二胺(EDTC),采用紫外光谱、红外光谱和元素分析对其结构进行表征,重点研究了其对EDTA络合铜、柠檬酸络合铜和酒石酸铜3种酸性模拟络合铜的去除性能及螯合沉淀物的溶出特性,并探讨了EDTC脱除络合铜的机理.研究结果表明,处理50 mg·L-1的含铜废水,p H值范围为3~9,EDTC投加量为mEDTC/mCu=8(质量比),反应时间3 min,PAM投加量为1 mg·L-1,此时出水Cu2+浓度均低于0.25 mg·L-1,去除率达到99.5%以上.螯合沉淀物在弱酸性和弱碱性条件下很稳定,不易产生二次污染.红外光谱图分析结果表明,EDTC与Cu会发生螯合反应,即EDTC直接脱出络合铜中Cu2+,并与Cu2+生成难溶的螯合产物EDTC-Cu,进而有效地去除废水中Cu.

Differences in EDTA-assisted metal phytoextraction between metallicolous and non-metallicolous accessions of Rumex acetosa L.

Two common sorrel (Rumex acetosa) accessions, one from a Zn-Pb contaminated site (CS accession) and the other from an uncontaminated site (UCS accession), were hydroponically exposed to a mixture of heavy metals (Pb²⁺ + Zn²⁺ + Cd²⁺) with and without EDTA at an equimolar rate. The metallicolous CS accession showed a higher tolerance to metal treatment in the absence of the chelating agent, whereas the UCS accession was especially tolerant to EDTA treatment alone. Combination of metal and EDTA treatment resulted in a higher Pb accumulation in shoots of both accessions although plants hardly showed phytotoxic symptoms. Cd and Zn uptake was not augmented by EDTA addition to the polymetallic medium. Chelant-assisted Pb accumulation was 70% higher in the CS accession than in the UCS accession, despite the fact that the former accession evapotranspired less water than the UCS accession. These results support the existence of a non-selective apoplastic transport of metal chelates by R. acetosa roots, not related to transpiration stream.     

Effects of a chelating resin on metal bioavailability and toxicity to estuarine invertebrates: Divergent results of field and laboratory tests

Benthic invertebrates can uptake metals through diffusion of free ion solutes, or ingestion of sediment-bound forms. This study investigated the efficacy of the metal chelating resin SIR 300™ in adsorbing porewater metals and isolating pathways of metal exposure. A field experiment (Botany Bay, Sydney, Australia) and a laboratory toxicity test each manipulated the availability of porewater metals within contaminated and uncontaminated sediments. It was predicted that within contaminated sediments, the resin would adsorb porewater metals and reduce toxicity to invertebrates, but in uncontaminated sediments, the resin would not significantly affect these variables. Whereas in the laboratory, the resin produced the predicted results, in the field the resin increased porewater metal concentrations of contaminated sediments for at least 34 days and decreased abundances of four macroinvertebrate groups, and richness in all sediments. These contrasting findings highlight the limits of extrapolating the results of laboratory experiments to the field environment.
