Fast preparation of the seawater accommodated fraction of heavy fuel oil by sonication

The seawater accommodated fraction (SWAF) of oil is widely used for the assessment of its toxicity. However, its preparation in the laboratory is time consuming, and results from different authors are difficult to compare as preparation methods vary. Here we describe a simple and fast set up, using sonication, to produce reproducible SWAF in the laboratory. The system was tested on heavy fuel oil placed on seawater at different salinity and temperature conditions. Maximum dissolution of the oil was achieved after 24 h, independently of both seawater salinity and temperature. Our findings are discussed in relation to the fate of the oil from the deep spill of the Prestige tanker. Changes in temperature in the open ocean are bound to have larger impact in the concentration of the SWAF than the corresponding values of sea water salinity. We anticipate that in this type of incident the highest SWAF, as the oil reaches the sea surface, should be expected in the warmest and less saline waters of the water column.     

UV-Fenton催化氧化法对采油废水中多环芳烃的处理效果

针对采油废水中含有多环芳烃种类多且较难去除的特点,采用UV-Fenton技术对采油废水中多环芳烃的处理效果进行了研究,通过正交实验和单因素实验,研究了在254 nm波长紫外光照射下,Fe2+投加量、H2O2投加量、pH值和光照时间对水样中多环芳烃中的菲和芴处理效果的影响。实验结果显示,处理初始浓度为1 000μg/L的菲、芴时,反应的最佳工艺条件为:Fe2+浓度为1.8 mmol/L、H2O2投加量为0.15 mmol/L、pH值为4、光照时间1.25 h。在此条件下,菲和芴的去除率可达71.9%。

产漆酶食用菌的粗酶液对多环芳烃降解研究

漆酶是一种含铜的多酚氧化酶,可以降解多种有机污染物,其中包括多环芳烃。但是由于纯漆酶的价格昂贵,限制了在环境修复中的应用。采用液态和固态2种方式培养了食用菌Pleurotus ostreatus和Coprinus comatus,并考察了固态培养的粗酶液对多环芳烃的降解和去毒能力,结果发现2种真菌均可产漆酶,但不产木质素过氧化物酶和锰过氧化物酶,其中固态培养的漆酶产量高于液态培养,且C.comatus的漆酶产量大于P.ostreatus。2种真菌固态培养的粗酶液对多环芳烃均有一定的降解和去毒作用,且P.ostreatus粗酶液的漆酶活性虽然较低,但是对多环芳烃降解率和去毒效果却优于C.comatus,这可能是P.ostreatus的粗酶液中含有较多的调节物质造成的。P.ostreatus的固态发酵粗酶液对蒽、苯并[a]芘、苯并[a]蒽、苊等均有较高的降解率(50%以上),但是对生物有效性高的萘的降解率却较低,这种降解特征可能与底物的电离势大小有关。     

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in crude oil-contaminated soil: A two-step method for the isolation and characterization of PAHs

A two-step analytical method is developed for the isolation and characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in crude oil contaminated soil. In the first step, those crude oil components were isolated which are easily mobilized with water from the contaminated soil (determination of groundwater pollution potential). In the second step, the fraction containing the remaining crude oil compounds was extracted using toluene. After the cleanup of the fractions, both fractions were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC of the toluene extracted fraction shows that along with the sixteen priority pollutants from the US-EPA list, many other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are present as well. It is evident from the chromatograms that a significant amount of PAHs are present as is also the case in the fractions eluted by water. The described method allows the determination of total organic pollutants from crude oil, some of them being potential groundwater contaminants. The major part of the total pollutants could not be mobilized by water and therefore remains in the soil, which was extracted in the second step.     

纳米二氧化钛光催化氧化油田采出水中萘和芴的影响因素分析

利用纳米二氧化钛光催化氧化技术,分析了不同影响因素UV波长(UVA 365 nm、UVB 308 nm和UVC 254 nm)、温度、pH、催化剂(TiO2)、抑制剂(BuOH)和氧化剂(O2、H2O2和O3)对油田采出水中多环芳烃萘和芴降解效率的影响,并进一步优化出单因子的最佳条件。实验结果表明,各因素对萘和芴降解有不同的影响,但其效果都随波长减小和酸度降低而得到增强。当其他条件为一致最优时(T=90℃, TiO2=0.5 g/L和BuOH=0.03 mol),当H2O2=0.01 mol 或O2=30 mL/min时,萘的降解率最高,而当H2O2=0.1 mol或O3=30 mL/min对芴的降解效果最好。

Desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from field-contaminated soil to a two-dimensional hydrophobic surface before and after bioremediation

This study investigated environmental distributions and production mechanisms of chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Cl-PAHs) in the sediments from some tidal flats located in Asia. Cl-PAHs were found in sediments taken from Arao tidal flat, Kikuchigawa River and Shirakawa River. The range of ∑Cl-PAHs was from 25.5 to 483 pg g⁻¹ for Kikuchigawa River and Arao tidal flat, respectively.Concentrations of PAHs and Cl-PAHs showed no significant correlations (r = 0.134). This result suggests that the origins of these compounds differ. In the identified Cl-PAH isomers, the most abundant Cl-PAH isomer was 9,10-dichloroanthracene (9,10-di-Cl-ANT) in the three sites. In general, concentrations of Cl-ANTs in the coastal environment are about 3-5 orders of magnitude lower than those of anthracene (ANT). However, concentration ratios between Cl-ANTs and ANT (Cl-ANTs/ANT) in the sediments ranged from 4.1% to 24.6%. This result indicated that Cl-PAHs were not generated under industrial processes but the high concentration ratios have resulted from the contribution of photochemical production of Cl-ANTs in the sediments because ANT is known to have high photochemical reactivity.For examining this phenomenon, ANT adsorbed onto glass beads was irradiated with UV under the mimicked field conditions of tidal flats. As a result, it was noticed that, while chlorinated derivatives were negligible in a light-controlled group, production of 2-Cl-ANT, 9-Cl-ANT and 9,10-diCl-ANT on the irradiated surface were found in this study. These results suggest that photochemical reaction of PAHs can be a potential source of the occurrence of Cl-PAHs in the coastal environment.

Oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by fungal isolates from an oil contaminated refinery soil

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Indigenous soil microorganisms are used for the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in oily waste residues from the petroleum refining industry. The objective of this investigation was to determine the potential of indigenous strains of fungi in soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons to biodegrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty one fungal strains were isolated from a soil used for land-farming of oily waste residues from the petrochemical refining industry in Singapore and identified to genus level using laboratory culture and morphological techniques. Isolates were incubated in the presence of 30 mg/L of phenanthrene over a period of 28 days at 30 degrees C. The most effective strain was further evaluated to determine its ability to oxidise a wider range of PAH compounds of various molecular weight i.e acenaphthene, fluorene, fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene and dibenz(ah)anthracene RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: After 28 days of incubation, 18 of the 21 fungal cultures were capable of oxidising over 50% of the phenanthrene present in culture medium, relative to abiotic controls. Fungal isolate, Penicillium sp. 06, was able to oxidise 89% of the phenanthrene present. This isolate could also oxidise more than 75% of the acenaphthene, fluorene and fluoranthene after 30 days of incubation. However, the oxidation of high molecular weight PAH i.e. chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene and dibenz(ah)anthracene by the Penicillium sp. 06 isolate was limited, where the extent of oxidation was inversely proportional to PAH molecular weight. CONCLUSIONS: Fungal isolate, Penicillium sp. 06, was effective at oxidising a range of PAH in petroleum contaminated soils, but higher molecular weight PAH were more recalcitrant. RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTLOOK: There is potential for the re-application of this fungal strain to soil for bioremediation purposes.

针对修复焦化厂高浓度多环芳烃污染土壤高成本的现实,采用以非食用性植物油、生物柴油、表面活性剂及其乳化合成的微乳液为淋洗剂,比较不同淋洗剂的淋洗效果。结果表明乳化合成的微乳液对焦化厂土壤中多环芳烃的总去除率高于单独使用表面活性剂为淋洗剂对土壤中多环芳烃的总去除率,说明生物柴油及植物油与表面活性剂乳化形成的微乳液对原污染土壤中的多环芳烃具有显著的增溶作用。1%TW-80和2.5%TW-80对土壤中多环芳烃总去除率分别为11%和14%;以2.5%TW-80为原料乳化合成的微乳液的淋洗去除率较以1%TW-80为原料乳化合成的微乳液高,总去除率分别为15%～30%和11%～18%;以生物柴油为原料乳化合成的微乳液的淋洗去除率较以植物油为原料乳化合成的微乳液高,分别为17%～30%和15%～23%,且对多环芳烃的去除率与其辛醇水分配系数(logKow)呈线性相关关系。
