不同离子桥键的有机矿质复合体对菲的吸附-解吸研究

从自然土壤中有机质与矿物的结合方式出发,研究了Ca²⁺、Fe³⁺和Al³⁺桥键的有机矿质复合体对菲的吸附-解吸行为.结果表明,不同离子饱和的蒙脱石及其相应的胡敏酸-矿物复合体对菲的吸附-解吸数据都能用Freundlich模型较好地拟合,吸附容量（K_f）大小的顺序分别为Ca-Mont（0.184）>Fe-Mont（0.028）>Al-Mont（0.015）和Fe-Mont-HA（2.341）>Ca-Mont-HA（1.557）>Al-Mont-HA（1.136）.有机矿质复合体的K_f值远远高于相应的矿物,表明了复合体中的胡敏酸对菲的吸附容量贡献较大.但不同离子桥键的复合体K_f值的大小与它们有机质的含量高低次序不一致,表明了复合体中有机质的含量以及有机质与矿物结合方式的不同,都可能会影响它们对菲的吸附.Ca²⁺和Al³⁺桥键的有机矿质复合体对菲的解吸都有滞后现象,滞后现象主要来自有机质对菲的吸附,而矿物对菲的解吸滞后现象影响不明显.     

诺氟沙星在4种土壤中的吸附-解吸特征

采用批平衡吸附试验,研究了诺氟沙星在河南封丘潮土、江西鹰潭红壤、苏南常熟水稻土和南京黄棕壤等4种土壤中的吸附行为.结果表明,诺氟沙星的土壤吸附-解吸不同程度地偏离线性模型,但均可用Freundlich模型和Langmuir模型进行良好的线性拟合.其K_f值变化较大,分别为潮土82.0 L/kg、黄棕壤432 L/kg、水稻土5 677 L/kg和红壤8 790 L/kg,显示诺氟沙星在4种土壤中的吸附行为存在较大的差异.此外,诺氟沙星在4种土壤上的解吸过程存在滞后现象.其中,诺氟沙星在红壤中的滞后现象明显与其他3种土壤不同,其滞后系数至少大5倍以上.研究表明4种土壤中诺氟沙星的吸附参数K_f值与土壤pH呈极显著负相关,与土壤溶液中诺氟沙星阳离子形态比例则呈极显著正相关.在不同pH（5～9）下,红壤和水稻土的诺氟沙星吸附参数lgK_d随pH的升高先增加而后降低,黄棕壤和潮土中则不同程度地线性下降.可见,阳离子吸附可能是诺氟沙星土壤吸附的重要机理,而低pH下红壤和水稻土中诺氟沙星的吸附是阳离子吸附和土壤溶液共存阳离子竞争性吸附共同作用的结果.     

阳离子类型对土霉素在2种土壤中吸附-解吸影响

以OECD Guideline 106为基础,采用批量平衡方法研究不同阳离子Ca²⁺、K⁺、Na⁺对土霉素在2种土壤(褐土和红壤)中的吸附-解吸影响.结果表明,不同阳离子条件下,土霉素的吸附-解吸不同程度地偏离线性模型,其中Freundlich模型可以对吸附和解吸数据进行良好的非线性拟合,平均拟合相关系数为0.989;除了KCl介质中土霉素在褐土中的吸附等温线呈线性外,其它介质条件下的等温吸附线均属“L”型等温吸附线.在同一阳离子介质中,土霉素在红壤(2.907～3.173)中的吸附容量(lgK_f)始终高于褐土(2.577～2.885),而在红壤(0.672～0.825)中吸附强度(1/n)始终低于褐土(0.713～1.005),且在2种土壤中的吸附均以物理吸附为主.3种阳离子对土霉素在2种土壤中的吸附行为的影响存在较大的差异,同一土壤中阳离子类型对土霉素的吸附容量无显著影响;而与K⁺和Na⁺相比,Ca²⁺的存在显著降低溶液中土霉素在土壤上的吸附强度(p<0.05).土霉素在土壤上的解吸过程存在明显的滞后现象,平均滞后系数HI在0.015～0.053之间.在同一阳离子介质条件下,土霉素在褐土中的滞后系数显著高于红壤(p<0.05);在同一土壤中,不同阳离子对滞后系数的影响不同,其中在褐土中K⁺与Ca²⁺、Na⁺之间的差异达到极显著差异(p<0.01),而3种阳离子对土霉素在红壤中的解吸滞后影响并无显著差异.     

PCB138在两种土壤及其有机质组分中解吸特征研究

为探讨多氯联苯在污染土壤中的解吸特性,选用南北方两种典型土壤,红壤和黑土为研究介质,以六氯联苯PCB138为目标污染物,探讨PCB138在红壤和黑土原土,以及从两种土壤中提取出的有机质组分胡敏酸和胡敏素中的解吸行为,并探讨土壤理化性质与解吸速率和解吸量之间的关系。实验结果表明,PCB138在两种土壤及其有机质组分中的解吸在360 min时达到动态平衡。准一级、准二级、叶洛维奇和内扩散模型四种动力学模型拟合结果显示,准二级动力学方程R²值为0.911~0.998,拟合效果最好。PCB138在黑土中的解吸速率和解吸量要略大于红壤中的相应数值。Freundlich、Langmuir和D-R等温模型拟合结果显示,Freundlich模型能更好的描述PCB138在土壤及其有机质组分中的解吸过程,有机碳归一化分配系数K_oc值由大到小依次为胡敏素>原土>胡敏酸。当温度由25℃升高到45℃时,PCB138在土壤及其组分中的解吸量随之减小。热力学数据计算结果显示ΔG^°>0,ΔH^°和ΔS^°值均小于0,说明PCB138在两种土壤及其组分中的解吸是非自发的放热反应,同时在解吸过程中固液界面的无序性和体系混乱度减小。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,PCB138在土壤中的解吸速率、解吸量与其组分中有机质质量分数和比表面积相关性不显著。     

厌氧与缺氧污泥对17β-雌二醇吸附性能的研究

雌二醇浓度为500～10 000　ng/L,采用活性污泥灭活吸附,考察了吸附平衡时间和pH值对吸附的影响.在10、20、30℃不同温度下建立了Freundlich吸附等温线,并计算了分配系数K_d.结果表明,厌氧与缺氧失活污泥对雌二醇的吸附都在30 min以内达到平衡;pH值在6～9范围内对吸附没有影响,pH大于9时随着pH值增加吸附量减少;两者在不同温度下对雌二醇的吸附都符合Freundlich吸附,都呈线性吸附,分配系数随温度升高而降低,厌氧失活污泥的分配系数K_d为629.2(10℃)＞534.9(20℃)＞405.6(30℃),缺氧失活污泥的分配系数K_d为601.2(10℃)＞491.3(20℃)＞360.1(30℃).另外,研究了厌氧与缺氧活性污泥的吸附等温线与分配系数,厌氧活性污泥的K_d大于缺氧活性污泥.厌氧(缺氧)活性污泥与灭活污泥对雌二醇的吸附未出现明显差别,厌氧污泥的吸附性能强于缺氧污泥.     

5种磺胺类抗生素在土壤中的吸附和淋溶特性

分别利用振荡平衡法和柱淋溶法研究了5种磺胺类抗生素(磺胺嘧啶,磺胺甲嘧啶,磺胺二甲嘧啶,磺胺二甲氧嘧啶,磺胺甲恶唑)在5种不同土壤中的吸附和淋溶特性及其影响因素.结果表明,磺胺类抗生素在5种供试土壤上的吸附等温线较好地符合Freundlich方程,吸附常数K_d为 0.10~4.39 μg^1-1/n (cm³)^1/n g ^-1;5种磺胺类抗生素在供试土壤中吸附性大致排列顺序为:东北黑土≈无锡水稻土>江西红壤>南京黄棕壤≈陕西潮土.吸附的主要影响因素为土壤pH值和有机质含量:土壤pH值增高,磺胺类抗生素大量转变为阴离子态,吸附减弱;土壤有机质含量增加,吸附增强.5种磺胺抗生素在5种供试土壤中的吸附自由能为 -12.5~-5.3 kJ·mol^-1,表明吸附机理主要是物理吸附.磺胺类抗生素在土壤中具有较强的淋溶性, 淋溶性能从大到小依次为:陕西潮土>南京黄棕壤>江西红壤>无锡水稻土>东北黑土,与吸附试验结果相一致.畜禽养殖使用磺胺类抗生素对地下水污染具有潜在风险,应该引起足够重视.     

甲磺隆除草剂的测定方法及其吸附行为研究

采用批量平衡法系统研究了甲磺隆除草剂在几种土壤（熟化红壤、砖红壤性红壤、红筋泥、砖红壤）和矿物（高岭石、针铁矿、和Ca²⁺、Al³⁺、Cu²⁺单离子饱和蒙脱石）上的吸附行为.建立了硼酸-硼砂缓冲液体系的毛细管电泳测定甲磺隆的分析方法.甲磺隆在本实验条件下能够与土壤中的杂质达到基线分离,迁移时间为4.6 min.对比实验表明,毛细管电泳法测定甲磺隆与高效液相色谱法具有一致性.然而,毛细管电泳法能显著节省测试时间和成本,在本类吸附实验研究中具有很好的应用价值.吸附实验数据分析表明甲磺隆的吸附行为都可以用Freundlich模型描述,矿物和土壤的K_f值分别在0.82～199.69和1.97～10.48范围.在几种影响甲磺隆吸附的因素中,pH的影响作用最为显著,说明静电作用可能是甲磺隆在土壤及矿物上吸附的主要机理.     

溴化十四烷基吡啶对膨润土吸附萘的增强效应及机理

研究了溴化十四烷基吡啶(MPB)对膨润土吸附萘的增强效应、机理及影响因素,试图为有机膨润土在污染环境修复中的应用提供新的技术路线.结果表明,MPB能显著增强膨润土对萘的吸附作用,增强效应及机理与MPB浓度有关.当MPB平衡浓度(X)在0～1/10CMC之间,MPB几乎全部被膨润土吸附,对萘产生分配作用,其表观分配系数(K_d^*)随MPB加入量的增大而急剧增大;当X在1/10CMC～ICMC之间,由于表面活性剂的吸附作用及其单体的增溶作用,K_d^*值则缓慢减小;当X大于1CMC,由于增加的表面活性剂主要起胶束增溶作用,K_d^*值则急剧减小.引入了标化表观分配系数(K_oc^*)探讨萘在表面活性剂-膨润土-水体系中的吸附机理,其倒数(1/K_oc^*)与X呈线性关系;由线性斜率和截距可求得K_oc、K_mn、K_mc参数.     

阳离子强度和阳离子类型对诺氟沙星土壤吸附的影响

以OECD Guideline 106为基础,采用批平衡方法研究不同Ca²⁺离子强度（0.01、0.03、0.05、0.08和0.10 mol/L的CaCl₂溶液）和不同阳离子（0.01 mol/L的NaCl、KCl、NH₄Cl、MgCl₂、CaCl₂、ZnCl₂和AlCl₃溶液）对诺氟沙星在4种土壤（潮土、黄棕壤、水稻土和红壤）中的吸附-解吸影响.结果表明,随着溶液中Ca²⁺离子浓度的增加,诺氟沙星在土壤中的吸附参数K_f值逐渐减小并趋于稳定,两者间存在显著负相关（p≤0.05）.同时,Ca²⁺离子浓度的增加对低浓度诺氟沙星溶液的吸附影响相对高浓度而言不明显. 低pH下,诺氟沙星主要以阳离子形态存在,吸附以阳离子吸附或氢键为主;在兼性离子状态时,则主要以静电吸附和偶极力为主.这是造成4种土壤中诺氟沙星吸附差异的根本原因.在不同离子强度下,土壤溶液中二价Ca²⁺离子存在则对诺氟沙星的活性吸附位点造成竞争性吸附,从而降低诺氟沙星的土壤吸附量.同时,不同阳离子导致诺氟沙星的土壤吸附存在差异.其影响趋势主要为价态的影响,即价态越高,竞争吸附能力越强：M⁺（Na⁺、K⁺、NH^＋₄）2+（Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、Zn²⁺）3+（Al³⁺）.     

纳米磁性磷酸二氢钙对Cd的吸附、回收与再生

以Ca（H₂PO₄）₂、铁盐与亚铁盐为原料,采用共沉淀法制备成纳米磁性材料Ca（H₂PO₄）₂@Fe₃O₄（NMCDP）,研究其对Cd²⁺的吸附、回收与再生效果.透射电镜（TEM）、红外光谱（FTIR）、X射线衍射（XRD）显示,NMCDP粒径约60 nm,稳定性良好,饱和磁化强度为30.9 emu·g^-1.吸附动力学表明,NMCDP对Cd²⁺的吸附1 h之内即可达到平衡,符合准二级动力学模型.吸附热力学表明,NMCDP对Cd²⁺的吸附符合Langmuir与Freundlich等温吸附模型,最大吸附量为142.50 mg·g^-1.在pH值由2增加到3时,吸附量随溶液初始pH值的升高而增加,当pH值大于3后,逐渐保持稳定;溶液中共存离子Na⁺、Mg²⁺、Cu²⁺对材料吸附Cd²⁺均有一定的影响,影响程度Cu²⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Na⁺.采用0.01 mol·L^-1 HCl与EDTA-Na₂均可解吸出部分吸附的Cd²⁺,以EDTA-Na₂解吸率较高,达到68%,从而实现NMCDP的再生.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.     

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

Common silver barb,Puntius gonionotus,exposed to the nominal concentration of 0.06 mg/L Cd for 60 d,were assessed for histopathological alterations(gills,liver and kidney),metal accumulation,and metallothionein(MT)mRNA expression.Fish exhibited pathological symptoms such as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of primary and secondary gill lamellae,vacuolization in hepatocytes,and prominent tubular and glomerular damage in the kidney.In addition,kidney accumulated the highest content of cadmium,more than gills and liver.Expression of MT mRNA was increased in both liver and kidney of treated fish.Hepatic MT levels remained high after fish were removed to Cd-free water.In contrast,MT expression in kidney was peaked after 28 d of treatment and drastically dropped when fish were removed to Cd-free water.The high concentrations of Cd in hepatic tissues indicated an accumulation site or permanent damage on this tissue.     

Sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions

The contribution of aliphatic-rich plant biopolymer to sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds is significantly important because of their preservation and accumulation in the soil environment,but sorption mechanism is still not fully understood.In this study, sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions was examined to better understand the contributions of respective fraction.Toward this end,cuticular materials were isolated from the fruits of tomato by chemical method.The tomato cuticle sheet consisted of waxes (6.5 wt%),cuticular monomer (69.5 wt%),and polysaccharide (24.0 wt%).Isotherms of l-naphthol to the cuticular fractions were nonlinear (N value (0.82-0.90)) at the whole tested concentration ranges.The KodKow ratios for bulk cuticle (TC1),dewaxed cuticle (TC2),cutin (TC4),and desugared cuticle (TC5) were larger than unity,suggested that tomato bulk cuticle and cutin are much powerful solption medium.Sorption capability of cutin (TC4) was 2.4 times higher than the nonsaponifiable fraction (TC3).The 1-naphthol interactions with tomato cuticular materials were governed by both hydrophobic-type interactions and polar (H-bonding) interactions. Removal of the wax and polysaccharide materials from the bulk tomato cuticle caused a significant increase in the sorption ability of the cuticular material.There was a linear negative trend between K_(oc) values and the amount of polysaccharides or fraction's polarities ((N O)/C);while a linear positive relationship between K_(oc) values and the content of cutin monomer (linear R~2=0.993) was observed for present in the cuticular fractions.Predominant sorbent of the hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in the plant cuticular fraction was the cutin monomer,contributing to 91.7% of the total sorption of tomato bulk cuticle.     

Seed selections for crystallization of calcium phosphate for phosphorus recovery

Seed induces and promotes the crystallization of calcium phosphate, and acts as carrier of the recovered phosphorus （P）. In order to select suitable seed for P recovery from wastewater, three seeds including Apatite （AP）, Juraperle （JP） and phosphate-modified Juraperle （M-JP） were tested and compared. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments of seeded crystallization of calcium phosphate were undertaken by using synthetic wastewater with 10 mg/L P phosphate. It shows that AP has bad enduring property in the crystallization process, while JP has better performance for multiple uses, and M-JP is a hopeful seed for P recovery by crystallization of calcium phosphate.
