Microbial reduction of nitrate in the presence of nanoscale zero-valent iron

Microbial reduction of nitrate in the presence of nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was evaluated to assess the feasibility of employing NZVI in the biological nitrate treatment. Nitrate was completely reduced within 3 d in a nanoscale Fe(0)-cell reactor, while only 50% of the nitrate was abiotically reduced over 7 d at 25 °C. The removal rate of nitrate in the integrated NZVI-cell system was unaffected by the presence of high amounts of sulfate. Efficient removal of nitrate by Fe(II)-supported anaerobic culture in 14 d indicated that Fe(II), which is produced during anaerobic iron corrosion in the Fe(0)-cell system, might act as an electron donor for nitrate. Unlike abiotic reduction, microbial reduction of nitrate was not significantly affected by low temperature conditions. This study demonstrated the potential applicability of employing NZVI iron as a source of electrons for biological nitrate reduction. Use of NZVI for microbial nitrate reduction can obviate the disadvantages associated with traditional biological denitrification, that relies on the use of organic substrates or explosive hydrogen gas, and maintain the advantages offered by nano-particle technology such as higher surface reactivity and functionality in suspensions.     

预煅烧铜渣与生物质混合催化气化

在热重分析仪上,以1 000℃预煅烧5h铜渣为催化剂,在氧气气氛下,进行生物质的催化气化实验.在预煅烧铜渣/生物质(质量比)为0.5～2.5范围内,考察铜渣的催化性能.实验结果表明,在所研究的比例范围内,生物质热解阶段和气化阶段的最大失重速率呈现先增大后减小的趋势,且在比例为2时都达到最大值.研究表明,铜渣中的铁氧化物在气化过程中被还原为金属Fe和FeO,而生成的FeO与SiO2反应生成Fe2SiO4.在铜渣与生物质混合催化气化反应中,金属Fe从铜渣中的铁氧化物中被还原出来而提供了活性位,表明铜渣因含有易还原的铁元素而具有催化作用.

Enhanced removal of pentachlorophenol by a novel composite: nanoscale zero valent iron immobilized on organobentonite

Nanoscale zero valent iron (NZVI) was immobilized on the organobentonite (CTMA-bent), so as to enhance the reactivity of NZVI and prevent its aggregation. This novel composite (NZVI/CTMA-Bent) was characterized by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Good dispersion of NZVI particles on the bentonite was observed. Its performance on removing pentachlorophenol (PCP) was investigated by batch experiments. Results showed NZVI/CTMA-Bent could rapidly and completely dechlorinate PCP to phenol with an efficiency of 96.2%. It was higher than the sum (54.5%) of reduction by NZVI (31.5%) and adsorption by CTMA-Bent (23.0%) separately. The kinetic studies indicated the removal rate of PCP was positively related to the adsorption. We proposed that the adsorption of PCP by CTMA-Bent enhanced the mass transfer of PCP from aqueous to iron surface. Besides, NZVI/CTMA-Bent exhibited good stability and reusability, and CTMA-Bent could also reduce the amount of iron ions released into the solution.

不同阳离子对Fe~0还原硝酸盐的影响

由于水中硝酸盐污染的普遍性、难去除性和对人体健康的潜在危害性而引起人们的广泛关注。通过批实验,考察了不同阳离子(Fe2+、Fe3+和Cu2+)对Fe0还原硝酸盐的影响。结果表明,由于加入阳离子可直接或间接地增加溶液中的Fe2+而都能促进硝酸盐的还原,作用顺序为Fe3+Fe2+Cu2+;Fe2+对硝酸盐的还原具有重要作用,并随着反应的进行,转化为铁氧化物附着在铁表面而降低铁的活性;硝酸盐还原的主要产物为氨氮,亚硝酸盐只在反应初期有少量积累,尤其是加Cu2+的体系中,但随后都很快降低;在所有体系中,检测到的三氮(NO3--N、NO2--N和NH4+-N)之和只占理论总氮的51.5%~82.6%;动力学分析表明,硝酸盐的还原在不加阳离子的体系中更符合一级反应,而加了阳离子的处理更符合Lo-gistic模型。本研究结果阐明了Fe2+对Fe0还原硝酸盐的重要性。

A sulfur removal and disposal process through H2S adsorption and regeneration: Ammonia leaching regeneration

An iron oxide solid sponge H₂S adsorbent works by reacting H₂S and turning ferric oxide into ferric sulfide. The ferric sulfide will be converted back into ferric oxide and elemental sulfur when contacting oxygen or air. This study investigates the leaching of elemental sulfur from the solid sponge using anhydrous liquid ammonia as solvent. The leaching treatment expectedly results in effective regeneration of the adsorbent, which is able to lead to a sulfur removal and recovery process suitable for handling the small and mid-sized sulfur production cases, i.e., those less than 10 ton/day sulfur. The leaching does not significantly impair the physical properties, including the adsorbent pellet strength. The adsorption–regeneration (or leaching) cycle could be repeated at least three times. The cumulative sulfur loading can achieve as high as 50% (w/w), three times greater than that in the one-time use. The wash-off in leaching and the spent adsorbent can be made into slurry that is to be injected into underground formations such as depleted oil wells. It is anticipated that this underground injection is safer and more efficient than acid gas injection.     

油品储罐H_2S对铁锈腐蚀产物自燃性研究

为了分析有氧条件下H2S对铁锈腐蚀产物的自燃性,模拟含硫油品储罐中铁锈(Fe2O3:75%;Fe(OH)3:7%;Fe3O4:18%)在有氧条件下与H2S气体的反应试验。将铁锈与H2S气体、O2按不同比例混合形成的混合物进行反应,再进行所得产物的氧化反应。采用X射线衍射分析法鉴定混合气体与铁锈的反应产物,并研究不同初始O2体积分数下的混合气体与铁锈的反应及其产物的再氧化反应,通过温度变化评价铁锈与H2S气体反应产物的自燃性。结果表明,在有氧条件下,H2S对铁锈腐蚀产物主要是FeS;随着初始O2体积分数的增加,铁锈与H2S的反应伴随其产物的氧化反应,HS对铁锈腐蚀产物的量减小,这种产物再氧化自燃性降低。
