Stabilization effects of surplus soft clay with cement and GBF slag

Utilization of industrial waste and surplus construction soft clay as construction material was recommended, and many attempts at geotechnical waste utilization were undertaken. This study aimed at the application of cement and a kind of industrial wastes, i.e. granulated blast furnace slag, on stabilization of surplus soft clay. The results showed that the cement and slag can successfully stabilize Ariake clays even though this high organic clay fails to be stabilized by lime and cement. Addition of slag in cement for stabilization induces higher strength than cement alone for longer curing time. The application of the cement with slag is more suitable than cement alone for stabilization because of economical consideration.     

pH值和离子对诺氟沙星在胡敏酸上吸附特征的影响

根据OECD Guideline 106批平衡实验,研究了pH值、Ca2+浓度和离子类型对诺氟沙星在胡敏酸上吸附特征的影响.结果表明,吸附系数(Kd)随着pH值的增大有先增加后减小的趋势,在pH 4.0和pH 6.0时吸附系数较大.红外光谱表明,pH 3.0有利于诺氟沙星和胡敏酸形成氢键; pH6.0和7.0时胡敏酸的羧基可能与诺氟沙星的氨基形成了肽键.诺氟沙星在胡敏酸上的吸附量和Kd值随着溶液中Ca2+离子浓度的增加而逐渐减小,表明两者之间存在阳离子吸附和竞争吸附.不同类型的阳离子和阴离子的加入都能导致诺氟沙星在胡敏酸的吸附特性存在差异.阳离子的影响趋势主要为价态的影响,即价态越高,在胡敏酸表面吸附位点的吸附能力就越强,对诺氟沙星吸附阻碍作用越显著,表现在诺氟沙星的最大吸附量(Qm)为:M+ (Na+、K+、NH4+) >M2+ (Mg2+、Ca2+、Zn2+);其次受阳离子的离子半径和水解作用的影响.而只有能水解的阴离子才能对诺氟沙星在胡敏酸上的吸附产生明显的阻碍作用.     

中国磷消费结构的变化特征及其对环境磷负荷的影响

本研究先建立物质流分析模型,分析1980～2008年期间我国磷消费结构的变化特征及其对环境磷负荷的影响,随后探讨若干社会经济因素同我国磷消费污染之间的关联性.结果表明,城市生活和农村生活的人均磷养分输入分别由0.83 kg.a-1和0.75 kg.a-1增加到1.20 kg.a-1和0.99 kg.a-1,而城市生活磷养分循环比例则由62.6%下降到15.6%;畜禽养殖和种植业的磷养分输入持续增加,但前者磷养分循环比例由67.5%下降到40.5%,后者大量磷养分蓄积在农业土壤;人口、城市化水平、种植业发展水平以及畜禽养殖业发展水平与我国磷消费污染总负荷的相关系数达到0.90以上,说明它们是我国磷消费污染的重要诱因;环境Kuznets曲线研究表明我国目前仍处于初级发展阶段,牺牲环境质量以换取经济发展.研究表明,我国磷消费体系正向线性开放的代谢结构演变,磷养分流失持续增加,环境磷负荷大大加重.     

腐殖酸对生物炭去除水中Cr(Ⅵ)的影响机制研究

以污泥生物炭作吸附剂处理水中Cr(Ⅵ),研究了共存腐殖酸对生物炭吸附性能影响.结果表明,腐殖酸能显著促进生物炭对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附,大幅提高吸附量以及缩短吸附平衡时间,生物炭吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型.在溶液初始pH4.0,生物炭浓度20 g·L-1,Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度在50～800 mg·L-1范围下,Langmuir模型比Freundlich模型更好地描述等温吸附行为.加入腐殖酸(20 mg·L-1)后拟合得到的理论饱和吸附量达10.10 mg·g-1,较未加入腐殖酸的吸附量5.56 mg·g-1提高近1倍.在pH 2.0～8.0范围内,吸附量随溶液初始pH值升高而减小.腐殖酸浓度上升,生物炭吸附能力进一步提高.红外光谱显示,生物炭表面的羟基、羧基、酯基、芳香环上C—H和环状结构上的CC等化学活性官能团与Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附有关.结合XPS分析结果,推断腐殖酸共存促进生物炭吸附的机制是:腐殖酸提高了Cr(Ⅵ)在生物炭表面聚集浓度,有利于生物炭对Cr(Ⅵ)的直接吸附和还原,而腐殖酸本身具有的吸附能力增加了对溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)和Cr(Ⅲ)的去除.     

受四环素影响的活性污泥胞内外聚合物特征

利用离心加超声的方法对处理四环素抗生素废水的活性污泥胞外聚合物(EPS)和胞内聚合物(IPS)进行提取,将其分为-溶解型胞外聚合物(slime)、松散附着型胞外聚合物(LB)、紧密附着型胞外聚合物(TB)、胞内聚合物(IPS).用BCA法和蒽酮-硫酸法测定了各层EPS和IPS溶液中的蛋白质和多糖含量,同时用三维荧光光谱扫描(EEM)和同步荧光光谱扫描(SFS)对其中的溶解性有机物(DOM)进行定性和定量分析,结果表明在EPS中的蛋白质和多糖的含量高于IPS,且蛋白质含量均比多糖含量高,而在slime和IPS中的蛋白质和多糖的含量高于LB和TB;低激发波长类色氨酸和高激发波长类色氨酸是EPS和IPS溶液的主要成分,且溶液中的溶解性代谢产物和芳香蛋白类物质相对含量在slime、LB、TB和IPS逐渐增加,而难降解有机物-腐殖酸类物质的相对含量逐渐降低;进水四环素浓度与污泥各层EPS和IPS溶液中DOM也具有较好的相关性;三维荧光法检测溶液中的DOM与化学分析测试出的蛋白质含量具有较好的相关性.     

腐殖酸与典型碳纳米材料协同光致产生活性氧物种的研究

采用电子自旋共振光谱(EPR)技术,分析腐殖酸在光照下对4种典型碳纳米材料诱导产生单线态氧(~1O_2)和羟基自由基(·OH)的影响。基于密度泛函理论计算4种典型碳纳米材料的前线轨道能,比较了它们分别经能量转移诱导产生~1O_2的能力以及经电子传递诱导产生·OH的能力。结果显示,4种不同形状的碳纳米材料(富勒烯、单壁碳纳米管、多壁碳纳米管以及石墨烯)悬浮液在紫外光照下均无~1O_2和·OH产生。与腐殖酸共同存在下,4种碳纳米材料均显著诱导~1O_2的产生,且富勒烯和石墨烯还能光致生成·OH。协同产生~1_O2的能力大小为:单壁碳纳米管富勒烯多壁碳纳米管石墨烯,协同产生·OH的能力大小为:石墨烯富勒烯。~1O_2的产生能力与碳纳米材料的能隙大小和颗粒聚集程度有关,而诱导产生·OH的能力主要取决于化学硬度。总之,我们的研究表明腐殖酸与碳纳米颗粒可协同产生活性氧物种。

Effect of metal ion-doping on characteristics and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes for removal of humic acid from water

The effect of ion-doping on TiO₂ nanotubes were investigated to obtain the optimal TiO₂ nanotubes for the effective decomposition of humic acids (HA) through O₃/UV/ion-doped TiO₂ process. The experimental results show that changing the calcination temperature, which changed the weight fractions of the anatase phase, the average crystallite sizes, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, and the energy band gap of the catalyst, affected the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst. The ionic radius, valence state, and configuration of the dopant also affected the photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts on HA removal increased when Ag⁺, Al³⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺, V⁵⁺, and Zn²⁺ were doped into the TiO₂ nanotubes, whereas such activities decreased as a result of Mn²⁺- and Ni²⁺-doping. In the presence of 1.0 at.% Fe³⁺-doped TiO₂ nanotubes calcined at 550°C, the removal efficiency of HA was 80% with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.158 min⁻¹. Fe³⁺ in TiO₂ could increase the generation of ·OH, which could remove HA. However, Fe³⁺ in water cannot function as a shallow trapping site for electrons or holes.     

Effects of water quality on the coagulation performances of humic acids irradiated with UV light

The presence of humic acid in drinking water treatment has received significant attention in recent years because of its adverse effects on the removal of many pollutants in coagulation. In this paper, the effects of water quality including pH, turbidity, alkalinity, and hardness on the removal of humic acid were investigated in a UV light hybridized coagulation process. Our results suggested that UV light radiation could effectively improve the removal rate of humic acid in coagulation under both neutral and basic conditions, and the variations of the selected water quality parameters had little adverse effect on the function of UV light. After UV light radiation, the removal rate of the nitro-humic acid (NHA) increased from 20% to 60% in coagulation, and increased further to 75% and 85% for the raw waters with 10.0 NTU kaolin and 100 mg·L^-1 hardness, respectively. In addition to NHA, the removal rates of the humic acid extracted from peat coal (PHA) and the humic acid provided by Japan metals and chemicals company (JHA) in coagulation were also improved, both in the range of 80%–90% after undergoing UV light radiation. By changing the radiation location from prior to coagulation to the flocculation process, similar experimental results were obtained. The formation of positive charged sites after UV light radiation was considered to be the primary factor that led to an enhanced removal of the humic acid in coagulation.     

Effect of effluent organic matter on ozonation of bezafibrate

The influence of three effluent organic matter (EfOM) model compounds, humic acid (HA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and sodium alginate (AGS), on the ozonation of bezafibrate (BF), a typical pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP), was investigated. The results show that ozonation efficiently removed BF from aqueous solution with removal efficiencies>95% within 8 min for all conditions. The reaction rate of BF decreased with increasing model compounds concentrations and the influence was more pronounced for HA and BSA, while less pronounced for AGS. Although BF concentration was significantly reduced, the degree of mineralization achieved was only approximately 11%. The addition of HA and BSA improved the mineralization of the solution, while the influence of AGS was minor. The acute toxicity of BF solution during ozonation was determined using the Luminescent bacteria test, and the toxicity exhibited an initial increase and a successive reduction. An overall decreased acute toxicity was observed with an increase of HA. The presence of BSA increased the formation rate of toxicity intermediates and resulted in inhibition peak forward.
