Measurement of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in human tooth

The gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations were measured in human tooth taken from 3 to 6 age-groups to 40 and over ones. Accumulated teeth samples are investigated in two groups as under and above 18 years. The gross alpha and beta radioactivity of human tooth samples was measured by using a gas-flow proportional counter (PIC-MPC 9604-α/β counter). In tooth samples, for female age-groups, the obtained results show that the mean gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations varied between 0.534-0.203 and 0.010-0.453 Bq g⁻¹ and the same concentrations for male age-groups varied between 0.009-1.168 and 0.071-0.204 Bq g⁻¹, respectively.     

碳酸根对磷酸钙沉淀反应回收磷的影响简

以模拟的厌氧消化液为处理对象，通过小试实验，考察不同初始磷浓度C_P、Ca/P物质的量比、pH和温度下，碳酸根（CO₃^2-）对磷酸钙沉淀反应回收磷的影响；利用扫描电镜（SEM）、X射线衍射仪（XRD）和傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）对沉淀产物进行表征。结果表明，高浓度的CO₃^2-对以磷酸钙沉淀反应去除和回收磷的效率影响较大；C_P相同时，CO₃^2-浓度（C_CO3^2-）越大，P的去除率越低，低C_P（20 mg/L）时尤为显著；当C_CO3^2-相同时，随着C_P的增大，反应速率加快，P的去除率逐渐升高，但升高幅度越来越小；增大Ca/P比和pH能提高P的去除率，降低CO₃^2-对磷酸钙沉淀反应的抑制作用，综合考虑实际效果，应选择Ca/P比为3.33，pH为9.0作为适宜的反应条件；升高温度对降低CO₃^2-对磷酸钙沉淀反应的抑制作用贡献不大。在C_P为60 mg/L，Ca/P比为1.67，pH为9.0，温度为20℃的条件下，当C _CO3^2-为0时，得到的沉淀产物主要为羟基磷灰石HAP；当C _CO3^2-为30 mmol/L时，得到的沉淀产物为磷酸钙和碳酸合磷灰石的混合物。

钙基固定剂对制氢和污染性气体减排的影响

在未来相当长的一段时间内,煤气化仍是大规模制取氢气的主要途径。目前,常规煤气化过程得到的是H2、CO和CO2为主的混合气,需要通过净化、变换和分离工艺才能得到洁净的氢气,工艺过程复杂。采用连续式超临界水反应装置,以质量分数为20%的水煤浆为反应原料,考察了Ca/C摩尔比和温度对褐煤制氢系统的影响。试验结果表明：Ca（OH）2不仅可以很好地固定气相中的CO2和硫化物,而且对煤气化过程也表现出较好的催化作用。反应温度600℃,压力为25MPa的条件下,与未加Ca（OH）2相比,Ca/C摩尔比为0.45时,气体中CO2的体积分数由50.7%降至1.0%,趋于完全固定;硫化物浓度由10 878mg/m3降至807mg/m3;H2的体积分数由32.4%增至73.3%。Ca（OH）2对煤气化的催化作用在高温下更加明显。

本文采用改进的BCR三步连续提取法对河北某食道癌高发地土壤中钙、镁进行了形态分析及提取序列的研究。实验表明：该地区土壤中镁主要以残渣态形式存在（占总量的83.66％-88.36％），钙则受提取序列的影响很大，在第一提取序列中，以酸溶态为主（74.11％-83.38％）；第二提取序列中，以有机物结合态为主（78.12％-97.17％）；第三、四提取序列中，以氧化物结合态为主（87.49％-103％）。提取剂的加入顺序明显影响到钙的各个形态的真实含量。     

Invasive Species Research to Meet the Needs of Resource Management and Planning

Abstract: As zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) continue to spread among inland lakes of the United States and Canada, there is growing interest from professionals, citizens, and other stakeholders to know which lakes are likely to be colonized by zebra mussels. Thus, we developed a classification of lake suitability for zebra mussels on the basis of measured or estimated concentrations of dissolved calcium in lake water and applied the classification to >11,500 lakes in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The majority of lakes (58%) were classified as unsuitable (<10 mg/L Ca) for survival and reproduction of zebra mussels, 27% were identified as suitable (≥21 mg/L Ca), and 15% were classified as borderline suitable (≥10 and <21 mg/L Ca). Of the 77 inland lakes with confirmed zebra mussel records for which data on dissolved calcium were available, our method classified 74 as suitable and 3 as borderline suitable. To communicate this lake‐specific suitability information and to help prioritize regional efforts to monitor and prevent the expansion of zebra mussels and other invasive species, we developed a web‐based interface (available from http://www.aissmartprevention.wisc.edu/ ). Although we are still uncertain of how access to suitability information ultimately affects decision making, we believe this is a useful case study of building communication channels among researchers, practitioners, and the public.     

钙对李氏禾富集和耐受铬的调控作用

通过水培实验，研究钙对铬胁迫下李氏禾幼苗生理生化、草酸分泌及铬吸收量的影响，考察钙对李氏禾体内草酸合成的调控，进而促进李氏禾的铬耐性富集能力的作用。结果显示，不同浓度Cr³⁺胁迫下缺钙处理，李氏禾生长受抑制及质膜过氧化作用加剧，体内总草酸含量为对照处理的113%~169%，且主要表现为水溶性草酸含量显著高于对照，水溶性草酸含量为对照处理的135%~197%；高钙处理，李氏禾细胞膜透性、丙二醛（MDA）含量低于对照，李氏禾叶部总草酸含量为对照处理的125%~155%，且主要表现为不溶性草酸含量显著高于对照，其含量为对照处理的181%~270%。低浓度（0.2、0.4 mmol/L）铬胁迫下，高钙处理总铬含量分别为对照处理的175%和215%，高浓度（0.8、1.0 mmol/L）铬胁迫下，总铬含量与对照处理无显著差异（P>0.05）。可见，添加Ca²⁺能在一定Cr³⁺浓度胁迫下，有效缓解铬对李氏禾的毒害，且能通过提高植物体内不溶性草酸含量达到促进植物富集和耐受铬的能力。

Hydrolysis and photolysis of oxytetracycline in aqueous solution

Oxytetracycline ((2Z,4S,4aR,5S,5aR,6S,12aS)-2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a member of tetracycline antibiotics family and is widely administered to farm animals for the purpose of therapeutical treatment and health protection. Increasing attention has been paid to the environmental fate of oxytetracycline and other veterinary antibiotics with the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment. The hydrolysis and photolysis degradation of oxytetracycline was investigated in this study. Oxytetracycline hydrolysis was found to obey the first-order model and similar rate constant values ranging from 0.094 ± 0.001 to 0.106 ± 0.003 day^{? 1} were obtained at different initial concentration ranging from 10 to 230 μ M. Solution pH and temperature were shown to have remarked effects on oxytetracycline hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in pH neutral solution appeared to be much faster than in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Oxytetracycline half-life decreased from 1.2 × 10² to 0.15 day with the increasing temperature from 4 ± 0.8 to 60 ± 1°C. The presence of Ca^{2 +} made oxytetracycline hydrolytic degradation kinetics deviate from the simple first-order model to the availability-adjusted first-order model and greatly slowed down the hydrolysis. Oxytetracycline photolysis was found to be very fast with a degradation rate constant at 3.61 ± 0.06 day^{? 1}, which is comparable to that of hydrolysis at 60°C. The presence of Ca^{2 +} accelerated oxytetracycline photolysis, implying that oxytetracycline become more vulnerable to sunlight irradiation after chelating with Ca^{2 +}. The photolysis may be the dominant degradation pathway of oxytetracycline in shallow transparent water environment.
