金山湖底泥重金属稳定化处理效果及机制研究

采用氧化钙和过氧化钙及二者混合物对底泥中的重金属进行稳定化试验,研究了稳定化后底泥中重金属迁移情况,并对底泥重金属稳定化技术的机制进行初步探讨.酸雨淋溶试验结果表明,底泥经CaO、CaO CaO2、CaO2稳定化后, pH=2.9时, Zn迁移到第3层,其首层迁移量分别为96、97和93mg/kg,而空白试验中Zn迁移至第6层,首层迁移量为128mg/kg; pH:5.0时, Zn迁移到第3层,其首层迁移量分别为87、90和89mg/kg,而空白试验中Zn迁移至第5层,首层迁移量为112mg/kg,这说明稳定化底泥中Zn的迁移速度和首层迁移量均有降低,3种稳定化药剂能够降低其在土壤中的迁移能力;淋溶液pH值对Zn的迁移能力有影响, pH较高能够减缓Zn在土壤中的迁移速度,降低其首层迁移量; Ni和Cd的酸雨淋溶试验也可得出同样结论.重金属稳定化机制试验结果表明,经上述3种药剂稳定化处理后,底泥pH值由6.76分别上升到8.33、8.15和8.21, TOC含量分别降低5%、10.9%和13.1%; Zn、Ni和Cd的稳定态含量分别增加10.6%、1.7%和4.5%,这是导致重金属迁移能力下降的主要原因;由此可见,3种药剂对同一金属的稳定化作用无明显差异;从不稳定态向稳定态转化的比例来看,稳定化药剂对不稳定态金属的稳定能力次序为: Zn>Cd>Ni.     

超滤、三维荧光光谱与高效体积排阻色谱联合表征地表水环境中溶解有机质的性质

超滤、三维荧光光谱以及高效体积排阻色谱3种研究方法的结合可以表征不同类型荧光物质的相对分子质量分布规律,进而揭示它们的来源以及组分差异.用截留相对分子质量为1 000的再生纤维素超滤膜对几种不同类型地表水体中的溶解有机质进行分离后,利用三维荧光光谱以及相对分子质量分布特征谱图表征超滤完成后滞留液中相对分子质量较高的组分和渗透液中相对分子质量较低的组分中溶解有机质的性质.结果发现,湖北神农架大九湖沼泽水中原先被强腐殖酸荧光吸收峰E(Ex/Em: 360 nm/462 nm)掩盖的类富里酸荧光吸收峰A(Ex/Em: 260 nm/450 nm)和C(Ex/Em: 320 nm/439 nm)以及类蛋白荧光吸收峰B(Ex/Em: 275 nm/312 nm)和D(Ex/Em: 220 nm/308 nm)因其相对分子质量较小而被分离进入渗透液中,可被荧光检测;贵州红枫湖南湖内源产生的类蛋白荧光吸收峰B(Ex/Em: 280 nm/334 nm)和D(Ex/Em: 225 nm/328 nm)在原水中含量太低,即使采用灵敏度高的荧光检测手段也很难从原水中直接鉴别出来,但超滤后却因其相对分子质量大而被保存在超滤滞留液中.此外,研究还发现不同来源的类富里酸荧光物质和类蛋白荧光物质其相对分子质量大小也存在差异.如红枫湖南湖内源产生的类蛋白荧光物质具有较大的相对分子质量分布,被保存在超滤滞留液中;而贵州阿哈湖外源输入的类蛋白荧光物质相对分子质量则较小,易通过超滤膜进入渗透液中.因此, 3种研究方法的联合可以为研究地表水体中溶解有机质的性质提供方便直接的定性信息.

为了快速监测水体悬浮有机物的数量,文章采用密封法测定COD,研究了池塘水体悬浮物及固体干物质样品的COD值与燃烧热值及灼烧减重之间的定量关系。结果表明:池塘水体悬浮物及固体干物质样品的COD值与燃烧热值及灼烧减重之间存在显著的相关关系。而且池塘水体悬浮物的COD值与燃烧热值之间的线性回归关系极显著,回归方程为,燃烧热值(J/L)=12.34COD(mg/L)+329.9。给定燃烧热值与有机碳的量以及与有机物量之间的换算系数,就可以推算出池塘悬浮有机物的数量。研究提出了一种池塘水体悬浮有机物的间接定量方法。

Combined fluorescence and electrochemical investigation on the binding interaction between organic acid and human serum albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a plasma protein responsible for the binding and transport of fatty acids and a variety of exogenous chemicals such as drugs and environmental pollutants. Such binding plays a crucial role in determining the ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and bioavailability of the pollutants. We report investigation on the binding interaction between HSA and acetic acid (C2), octanoic acid (C8) and dodecanoic acid (C12) by the combination of site-specific fluorescent probe, tryptophan intrinsic fluorescence and tyrosine electrochemistry. Two fluorescent probes, dansylamide and dansyl-L-proline, were employed in the displacement measurement to study fatty acid interaction with the two drug-binding sites on HSA. Intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan in HSA was monitored upon addition of the fatty acids into HSA. Electrocatalyzed response of the tyrosine residues in HSA by a redox mediator was used to investigate the binding interaction. Qualitatively, observations made by the three approaches are very similar. HSA did not show any change in either fluorescence or electrochemistry after mixing with C2, suggesting there is no significant interaction with the short-chain fatty acid. For C8, the measured signal dropped in a single-exponential fashion, indicative of independent and non-cooperative binding. The calculated association constant and binding ratio is 3.1×106 L/mol and 1 with drug binding Site I, 1.1×107 L/mol and 1 with Site II, and 7.0×104 L/mol and 4 with the tryptophan site. The measurement with C12 displayed multiple phases of fluorescence change, suggesting cooperativity and allosteric effect of C12 binding. These results correlate well with those obtained by the established methods, and validate the new approach as a viable tool to study the interactions of environmental pollutants with biological molecules.     

Partitioning of water soluble organic carbon in three sediment size fractions： Effect of the humic substances

Water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in sediments plays an important role in transference and transformation of aquatic pollutants. This article investigated the inherent mechanisms of how sediemnt grain size affect the partitioning coeffcient (k) of WSOC. Influences of NaOH extracted humic substances were particularly focused on. Sediments were sampled from two cross-sections of the middle Yellow River and sieved into three size fractions (< 63 μm, 63-100 μm, and 100--300 μm). The total concentration of WSOC in sediments (CWSOC) and k were estimated using multiple water-sediment ratio experiments. Results show that CWSOC ranges from 0.012 to 0.022 mg/g, while k ranges from 0.8 to 3.9 L/kg. Correlations between the spectrum characteristics of NaOH extracted humic substances and k were analyzed. Strong positive correlations are determined between k and the aromaticity indicators of NaOH extracted humic substances in different sediment size fractions. Comparing with finer fractions (< 63 μm), k is higher in larger size fractions (63--100 and 100--300 μm) related to higher aromaticity degree of NaOH extracted humic substances mostly. While negative relationship between k and the area ratio of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) at 3400 and 1430 cm-1 implied that the lowest k was related to the highest concentration of the acidic humic groups in particles < 63 μm. WSOC in finer fractions (< 63 μm) is likely to enter into pore water, which may further accelerate the transportation of aquatic contaminants from sediment to water.     

Microbiological parameters and maturity degree during composting of Posidonia oceanica residues mixed with vegetable wastes in semi-arid pedo-climatic condition

The aim of this study was to characterize the biological stability and maturity degree of compost during a controlled pile-composting trial of mixed vegetable residues (VR) collected from markets of Tunis City with residues of Posidonia oceanica (PoR), collected from Tunis beaches. The accumulation in beaches (as well as their removal) constitutes a serious environmental problem in all Mediterranean countries particularly in Tunisia. Aerobic-thermophilic composting is the most reasonable way to profit highly-valuable content of organic matter in these wastes for agricultural purposes. The physical, chemical, and biological parameters were monitored during composting over 150 d. The most appropriate parameters were selected to establish the maturity degree. The main result of this research was the deduction of the following maturity criterion: (a) C/N ratio < 15; (b) NH₄⁺-N < 400 mg/kg; (c) CO₂-C < 2000 mg CO₂-C/kg; (d) dehydrogenase activity < 1 mg TPF/g dry matter; (e) germination index (GI) > 80%. These five parameters, considered jointly are indicative of a high maturity degree and thus of a high-quality organic amendment which employed in a rational way, may improve soil fertility and soil quality. The mature compost was relatively rich in N (13.0 g/kg), P (4.74 g/kg) and MgO (15.80 g/kg). Thus composting definitively constitutes the most optimal option to exploit these wastes.     

Biodegradability of soil water soluble organic carbon extracted from seven di erent soils

Water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) is considered the most mobile and reactive soil carbon source and its characterization is an important issue for soil ecology study. A biodegradability test was set up to study WSOC extracted from 7 soils di erently managed. WSOC was extracted from soil with water (soil/water ratio of 1:2, W/V) for 30 min, and then tested for biodegradability by a liquid state respirometric test. Result obtained confirmed the finding that WSOC biodegradability depended on the both land use and management practice. These results suggested the biodegradability test as suitable method to characterize WSOC, and provided useful information to soil fertility.     

Characterization of organic matter in total suspended particles by thermodesorption and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

The organic matter in tropospheric aerosol plays an important role in atmospheric physical and chemical processes. The bulk of organic matter, representing a significant proportion of the total suspended particulate (TSP) mass, is bound to polymeric material whose structure and properties are largely unknown. Here we used thermodesorption gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Td- GC/MS) to study organic compounds of low molecular mass and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to characterize the chemical structure of macromolecules in TSP samples collected in di erent seasons from di erent sites in Guangzhou. n-Alkanes, fatty acids and nitriles were the predominant compounds in the thermodesorption products, whereas aromatics, fatty acids, nitriles and n-alkanes/alkenes were the major compounds in the pyrolysates. The results indicated that aromatics were main units in macromolecules. The fatty acids and nitriles formed from carboxylic ammonium salts were detected in both thermodesorption products and pyrolysates at a certain concentration, indicating the importance of these compounds in TSP formation. The TSP source mainly determined the occurrence of compounds in samples from urban, suburban and forest sites, whereas the TSP source and formation process maybe controlled the seasonal variation in compounds detected. High levels of nitriles in summer samples from suburban and forest sites coincide with the release of ammonium from the land and of fatty acids from vegetation at these sites.
