ZnMnxCo2-xO4活化过一硫酸盐降解有机污染物

分别以Zn（CH₃COO）₂·2H₂O、Mn（CH₃COO）₃·2H₂O和Co（CH₃COO）₂·4H₂O为锌源、锰源和钴源,采用溶胶-凝胶自燃烧法成功制备了ZnMn_xCo_2-xO₄（x=0~2）复合物,并用X射线衍射和X射线光电子能谱对其进行表征.同时,还研究了Mn/Co物质的量比、催化剂用量及PMS用量对目标污染物降解的影响.结果表明,该复合物可催化活化过一硫酸钾（PMS）降解有机污染物,当催化剂中x=0.8,催化剂投加量为0.2 g·L^-1,PMS用量为0.4 mmol·L^-1（0.25 g·L^-1）时,20 μmol·L^-1（10 mg·L^-1）罗丹明B（RhB）可在15 min内完全降解.ZnMn_0.8Co_1.2O₄的高催化活性主要归功于Mn³⁺和Co²⁺的协同效应.将ZnMn_xCo_2-xO₄-PMS体系用于亚甲基蓝、结晶紫、金橙、双酚A、4-氯酚等其他污染物的降解,也取得了较好的效果.基于电子自旋共振ESR和自由基猝灭实验的结果,可以推测该反应体系中活性物种为硫酸根自由基和羟基自由基.

为探究石家庄市道路灰尘中全氟/多氟化合物(PFASs)的污染特征,利用高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(HPLC-MS/MS)分析主干和次干道路灰尘样品(部分采集于污水处理厂和消防站附近)中包括两类新型替代品在内的22种PFASs.结果表明,PFASs在石家庄道路灰尘中普遍存在,特别是新型替代品——六氟环氧丙烷二聚酸(HFPO-DA)的检出属国内首次.∑PFASs含量范围为2.62～137.65 ng·g^-1,全氟辛酸(PFOA)为主要组分,其次为全氟丁酸(PFBA)、 HFPO-DA和全氟辛基磺酸(PFOS).空间分布上,西北方向PFASs含量水平最高,东南方向最低.污水处理厂和消防站附近道路灰尘中PFASs组成存在明显不同,特别是新型替代品的检出类型.健康风险评估结果显示,道路灰尘摄入对于人体暴露PFASs和其新型替代品的风险相对较低.经口、呼吸道和皮肤接触3种途径中,经口摄入是目标化合物进入人体的主要途径.在同一暴露途径下,儿童的暴露量高于成人.     

Peroxymonosulfate enhanced photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of organic contaminants and simultaneously cathodic recycling of silver

Degradation of organic contaminants with simultaneous recycling of Ag⁺ from silver-containing organic wastewater such as photographic effluents is desired. Although photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) technology is a good candidate for this type of wastewater, its reaction kinetics still needs to be improved. Herein, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was employed to enhance the PEC kinetics for oxidation of phenol (PhOH) at the anode and reduction of Ag⁺ at the cathode. The degradation efficiency of phenol (PhOH, 0.1 mmol/L) was increased from 42.8% to 96.9% by adding 5 mmol/L PMS at a potential of 0.25 V. Meanwhile, the Ag (by wt%) deposited on the cathode was 28.1% (Ag₂O) in PEC process, while that of Ag (by wt%) was 69.7% (Ag⁰) by adding PMS. According to the electrochemistry analysis, PMS, as photoelectrons acceptor, enhances the separation efficiency of charges and the direct h⁺ oxidation of PhOH at the photoanode. Meantime, the increasing cathode potential avoided H₂ evolution and strongly alkaline at the surface of cathode, thus enabling the deposition of Ag⁺ in the form of metallic silver with the help of PMS. In addition, PMS combined with PEC process was effective in treating photographic effluents.

Contamination levels and state assessment in the lakes of the Oliveri-Tindari Lagoon (North-Eastern Sicily,Italy)

The Oliveri-Tindari Lagoon, located in North-Eastern Sicily (Italy) and composed of six lakes, is subject to continuous environmental changes. An integrated study focusing on sediment features and levels of contamination was carried out for three of the six lakes, which are of ancient origin: Verde, Mergolo della Tonnara and Marinello. A high primary production (26.89 μg l^?1) was detected at Lake Verde; texture classification showed a typical grain size in the sediments of all lakes; the study of macronutrients highlighted 17.08 of total carbon in sediments from Lake Mergolo della Tonnara; toxic elements were detected at higher concentrations in the sediments of Lake Marinello in comparison to the others, while arsenic was found in high concentrations in all the samples tested, especially in Lake Verde, with a mean value of 17.25 mg kg^?1 dry weight (d.w.). All the organic contaminants, except 4, 4′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, were below the detection limits in the sediments. Minimal microbiological contamination was found in both water and sediment samples. In the latter, we isolated several bacterial strains thriving in the presence of arsenic, which play a role in the biogeochemical cycle of arsenic. These preliminary results, obtained for the first time using a multidisciplinary approach, provide general information about the Oliveri-Tindari Lagoon area.     

Assessment of cadmium,chromium, and copper levels in market fruit samples in Meerut,North India

The levels of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) were assessed in 24 fruit species in Meerut, North India using atomic absorption spectrometry. Data showed that Cd concentrations in fruits except banana, pomegranate, papaya, orange, and cherry were above the recommended maximum allowable limit of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/World Health Organization (WHO) (0.2 µg/g). Average Cr concentrations in all analyzed fruit samples were also found higher than the safe limit of FAO/WHO (2.3 µg/g). In contrast, fruits viz. banana, lychees, papaya, Indian apple, Asian apple, and tiger nut showed concentration of Cu below the recommended safe limit (40 µg/g). Our study demonstrated that concentration of studied heavy metals in all tested samples varied according to fruit species and respective contaminants. Data suggest that more strict rules/standards need to be applied by National/International regulatory agencies in order to make these important fruit items free from heavy metals contamination and protect the consumer.     

Quantification of TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles in wastewater using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

Abstract

The applicability of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry has been examined for determination titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in industrial wastewater samples. The extraction and preconcentration of the nanoparticles were achieved using ligandless ultrasound-assisted surfactant-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction. Under optimized conditions, the developed method had limits of detection (LOD) of 2.7?ng L^?1 for Ti and 3.6?ng L^?1 for Zn resulting from dissolved TiO₂ and ZnO nanoparticles. The relative standard deviation values for intraday precision were 2.5% and 3.1% for TiO₂ and ZnO, while the interday precision was 4.5% and 5.0%. Percentage recoveries ranging from 98% to 100% were obtained. Finally, the applicability of the method was examined by analyzing spiked samples and wastewater samples collected from textile, cosmetic and paint industries.     

石油输入对河口芦苇湿地根际微生物的影响

以辽东湾双台子河河口芦苇湿地为对象,以石油污染物作为主要的外源性污染物,采用湿地模拟实验装置进行了为期6个月的室外模拟实验,研究了石油的重要组分正构烷烃和多环芳烃在芦苇根区土壤中的时空分布及对湿地植物根际土壤微生物种群数量和群落结构的影响. 结果表明,石油污染物的输入降低了土壤的含氧量,减少了根际细菌的数量,芦苇根际细菌的数量仅为对照的1/4,同时也改变了微生物群落的优势菌群.经过6个月的含油河水灌溉后,形成了以变形菌门(Proteobacterium spp.)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes spp.)为主要优势菌群的群落结构,而厚壁菌门(Firmicutes spp.)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria spp.)和蓝藻门(Cyanobacteria spp.)则受到不同程度的抑制.     

垃圾渗滤液中微塑料分析的消解方法评价

微塑料（MPs）是近年来国内外关注度极高的新兴污染物,建立实际环境样品中MPs的分析方法是开展相关研究的基础。对于复杂污水样品而言,样品的消解过程至关重要,将极大地影响MPs的准确分析。选择垃圾渗滤液为典型复杂污水样品,采用样品浊度和色度变化、残余悬浮固体量、MPs在颗粒物中的占比为评价指标,对盐酸消解、30%过氧化氢消解及芬顿试剂消解3种常用消解方法的消解效果进行了比较。结果表明,30%过氧化氢对垃圾渗滤液样品的消解效果最佳,MPs在全部颗粒物中的占比达63.7%,极大地缩减了后续MPs定性分析的时间,降低了分析难度,且对渗滤液中MPs的回收率也高达（103±3）%。在此基础上,讨论了消解效果与过氧化氢投加量/样品浊度（V_H2O2/T₁）的关系。当V_H2O2/T₁为0.15~0.20 mL/NTU时,样品残余悬浮固体量最低,消解效果最佳。     

Transport and fate of organic wastes in groundwater at the Stringfellow hazardous waste disposal site, southern California

In January 1999, wastewater influent and effluent from the pretreatment plant at the Stringfellow hazardous waste disposal site were sampled along with groundwater at six locations along the groundwater contaminant plume. The objectives of this sampling and study were to identify at the compound class level the unidentified 40-60% of wastewater organic contaminants, and to determine what organic compound classes were being removed by the wastewater pretreatment plant, and what organic compound classes persisted during subsurface waste migration. The unidentified organic wastes are primarily chlorinated aromatic sulfonic acids derived from wastes from DDT manufacture. Trace amounts of EDTA and NTA organic complexing agents were discovered along with carboxylate metabolites of the common alkylphenolpolyethoxylate plasticizers and nonionic surfactants. The wastewater pretreatment plant removed most of the aromatic chlorinated sulfonic acids that have hydrophobic neutral properties, but the p-chlorobenzene-sulfonic acid which is the primary waste constituent passed through the pretreatment plant and was discharged in the treated wastewaters transported to an industrial sewer. During migration in groundwater, p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid is removed by natural remediation processes. Wastewater organic contaminants have decreased 3- to 45-fold in the groundwater from 1985 to 1999 as a result of site remediation and natural remediation processes. The chlorinated aromatic sulfonic acids with hydrophobic neutral properties persist and have migrated into groundwater that underlies the adjacent residential community.
