江汉平原东部浅层地下水氮的空间分布特征

江汉平原水体氮污染问题日趋严重,但相关研究仍较为薄弱。以江汉平原东部为研究区,对区内459组浅层地下水样品的水化学成分进行测试分析,旨在查明地下水氮污染的空间分布特征,并探讨地下水氮污染的成因机制。结果显示:硝态氮在孔隙潜水中明显富集,最高约300 mg/L,而高含量的氨氮则集中分布于中层孔隙承压水,平均值达2.58 mg/L;孔隙潜水中NO_3~-含量随着Cl~-含量的增高而表现出增高趋势,指示了浅层地下水中NO_3~-是人类工农业活动输入的结果;中层孔隙承压水处于富含有机质的强还原环境,NH_3-N含量随着DOC含量的增高而表现出增高趋势,且高含量的NH_3-N对应着低含量的Cl~-,表明该层地下水中NH_3-N主要为天然来源,而非人类活动输入。氧化还原环境控制着区域内浅层地下水中氮的赋存形态,在氧化环境下主要以硝态氮的形式存在,而在还原环境下主要以氨氮的形式存在。

填埋垃圾浸提液与地下水污染物组成差异及成因

为揭示垃圾渗滤液污染地下水特征,采用常规分析、三维荧光光谱和多元统计分析,研究了某简易填埋场垃圾浸提液与地下水中无机盐、有机物及重金属的分布特征及成因.结果表明,填埋场垃圾异质性强,浸提液中NH+4-N浓度高,而Cl-、SO2-4、溶解性有机物(DOM)、重金属含量低,强还原氛围导致硝化过程受阻,NO-3-N、NO-2-N含量低,浸提液中Cu主要结合在DOM上,而Ba、Cd、Cr、Fe、Mn、Ni、Zn及As主要结合在疏水性有机物上.除填埋场所在点地下水外,其余点地下水污染物来源相似,其中的DOM以微生物来源为主;与垃圾浸提液中污染物分布特征相反,地下水中NH+4-N含量低而Cl-、SO2-4、DOM、NO-3-N、NO-2-N含量高,Cu、Ba、Cd、Fe、Mn及Ni的分布与DOM有关,主要结合在荧光有机物上.研究结果显示,基于地下水中污染物组成差异,采用聚类分析方法可识别出地下水受渗滤液污染点.     

汉江下游河水-地下水交互带中地下水水化学和氮分布特征

河水-地下水交互带被称为生物过滤器,对氮等污染物有截留净化功能。为研究汉江下游河水-地下水交互带氮的分布特征,本文设立了3个剖面和9口钻井,采集沉积物和地下水样品并进行测试。结果表明,在样品采集期间交互带剖面1河水补给地下水,剖面2地下水补给河水,剖面3河水和地下水水位持平。交互带地下水pH整体上呈中性,主要水化学类型为HCO₃-Ca型,处于缺氧或厌氧的还原环境;地下水硝态氮0.02～0.22 mg/L,亚硝态氮小于0.02 mg/L,小于Ⅰ或Ⅱ类地下水氮的浓度限值;位于农田的1-2井氨氮1.93 mg/L,符合Ⅴ类地下水氨氮浓度限值,而其它8口井氨氮0.01～0.32 mg/L,小于Ⅲ类地下水氨氮浓度限值。交互带沉积物pH呈中性偏弱碱性,1-2钻井不同深度沉积物氨氮0.05～2.45 mg/kg,其它钻井沉积物氨氮0.03～0.34 mg/kg。这些结果表明农业氮肥是导致交互带高氨氮的主因,但是影响范围比较有限。此外,交互带中氨氮主要以交换态铵氮存在,溶解态氨氮占比较少。     

保定府河DOM的光谱特征及其来源解析

府河是白洋淀入淀河流中的主要河流,研究府河溶解性有机物分布特征及污染来源对入淀河流的环境管理及水质改善具有重要意义。文章2021年12月对府河干流及支流20个采样点进行采样,通过紫外光谱与三维荧光光谱-平行因子分析技术分析府河水体溶解性有机物,并对溶解性有机物组分来源进行解析。研究发现,府河水体溶解性有机物组分中类腐殖质组分含量高于水体中类蛋白组分含量,且黄花沟中有机组分对府河水体影响较大;大量城市污水处理厂出水汇入府河后类蛋白占比增大,这可能是河内生物活性提升导致,故F9以后自生源贡献升高;荧光光谱分解得到4个组分,C1、C2（类腐殖质）占71.88%,C3、C4（类蛋白）占28.12%,府河干流溶解性有机物主要来源于外源污水厂出水输入、自生源生物类蛋白和陆源农田土壤等;荧光组分与溶解性有机碳、总氮、硝态氮有显著的正相关性,PC1与荧光组分呈现显著正相关。综上,通过对府河水体溶解性有机物荧光特征及来源解析,府河受陆源类腐殖质与生物自生源双重影响,这为府河水体的进一步管理提供了理论参考。

论文以赣江上游典型稀土、钨矿区流域-渥江流域为研究对象，沿程设置42个取样点，对水体的pH、氨氮、硝态氮、亚硝态氮以及Cr、Co、Cd、Pb、Hg、Ni、Mn、Cu、Zn、As这10种重金属的含量进行调查分析，同时运用内梅罗综合污染指数法、健康风险评价模型对渥江流域水体污染状况进行评价，运用Pearson相关性分析、主成分分析方法对重金属污染来源进行探究。结果表明：（1）各采样点氨氮、硝态氮、亚硝态氮含量在沿程分布上趋于一致，且与pH呈负相关；（2）渥江流域不同采样点重金属含量存在较大差异，干流重金属含量总体上高于支流，且干流部分河段和支流无重金属污染，而位于流域内稀土矿山和钨矿山附近的采样点目前已表现为轻度和重度重金属污染，主要健康风险来源于致癌重金属As和Cd。（3）各类水质指标、重金属含量具有显著相关性，研究区域水体重金属污染主要来自于周边稀土矿区和钨矿区。     

地下水中溶解性有机物的季节变化特征及成因

为阐明地下水中溶解性有机物(DOM)的分布特征与环境效应,联合三维荧光光谱、平行因子分析及主成分分析,研究了地下水中DOM的来源及随季节和空间变化特征,探究了地下水DOM组成对无机盐分布的影响.结果显示,地下水DOM主要来自微生物源,可鉴别出4种荧光组分,4种组分中,组分1和3为类蛋白组分,组分2和4属于类腐殖质组分.类蛋白组分来源差异较大,组成不稳定,其含量随季节变化明显,春冬季含量低而夏秋季含量高;类腐殖质组分来源相似,组成稳定,随季节变化小.两类荧光组分,尤其是类蛋白组分,是地下水氨氮的主要来源,可以影响地下水pH值.结果表明,三维荧光光谱结合平行因子和主成分分析,可以解析地下水中有机物的组成特征和季节变化规律.

华北平原典型剖面地下水三氮污染时空分布特征

华北平原地下水氮元素污染的时空分布特征鲜有报道,本文结合华北平原水文地质条件,从山前平原至中部平原选取两个剖面,四次采集地下水样品并测定三氮含量,调查评价典型剖面上三氮污染状况并深入分析其时空分布特征。结果表明:华北平原典型剖面上地下水的三氮中超标最为严重的是氨氮;三氮总量整体上随时间呈上升趋势;硝态氮、氨氮、亚硝态氮含量的空间分布不尽相同,前两者在山前平原的含量高于中部平原;第三者则呈相反趋势;从垂直方向上看,三氮含量随地下水埋深增加而减小。在不同的水井类型中,灌溉井和监测井中三氮的含量普遍较高,而在饮用水井中氨氮污染相对严重,会对人类健康造成一定风险。     

北方典型设施蔬菜种植区地下水水质特征

为探究设施农业对地下水环境质量的影响,以我国华北平原典型设施蔬菜种植区为研究对象,采用常规理化分析、紫外-可见吸收光谱及荧光光谱技术,结合平行因子分析、主成分分析和二维相关光谱分析方法,对种植区地下水中无机盐、重金属及有机物的来源、组成、赋存分布及可能成因进行了研究.结果表明,设施蔬菜种植区地下水水化学特征为Cl-SO_4型水,硬度高,三氮含量严重超出国家地下水V类质量标准(GB/T 14848-93),重金属含量低于国家生活饮用水卫生标准(GB 5749-2006).氮素中NH_4~+-N的大量累积与较浅的地下水埋深度和强还原环境引起的硝化过程受阻有关,部分有毒亲硫重金属元素含量较高为农药和化肥的施用所致.地下水中溶解性有机物来源相似,由微生物代谢淋溶进入地下水的有机粪肥中组分新近产生为主,其主要成分为小分子易降解的类蛋白物质,同时含有部分与类蛋白物质结合的类富里酸物质.种植区地下水中类富里酸物质在地下水中含量稳定,而类蛋白物质含量受耕作过程有机粪肥的使用影响较大.设施蔬菜种植过程中应科学分配有机粪肥的施用,同时水质电导率、硬度及紫外区UVA波段应作为该种植区日后在线监管的主要指标.     

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.
