不同沸石材料对沼液中磷素静态吸附去除

集中型沼液磷含量较高,处理不当极易造成二次污染。为了寻找高效磷吸附基质,以天然斜发沸石(TRF)、微波与氯化钠联合改性沸石(WLF)、CPB改性沸石(CPBF)、微米级(WF)及亚微米级(YWF)2种粉煤灰合成沸石为研究对象,对磷的热力学吸附解吸以及动力学进行研究,并对影响沼液中磷吸附的温度,沸石投加量、pH等因素进行探讨。结果表明,在投加量为10 g/100 mL时,TRF、WLF、CPBF、YWF、WF 5种沸石材料对实际沼液磷去除率分别达到24.24%、22.45%、28.56%、48.63%、40.22%;在15～35℃范围内,温度的升高有利于除CPBF以外的其他4种沸石材料对沼液磷的吸附;在pH从3.5～10.5的变化范围内,YWF、WF对沼液磷的吸附量变化幅度要大于其他沸石材料。与其他3种沸石材料相比,2种粉煤灰合成沸石具有更高的磷吸附量和吸附速率以及更低的解吸率,因此具有较大的沼液除磷优势,是优良的吸附材料。     

沸石/水合氧化锆吸附水中的磷

以粉煤灰为原料,采用传统水热方法制备的沸石除磷性能有限,且存在废碱液排放的问题。对此,本文首次提出了在传统水热方法基础上用氯氧化锆中和合成沸石过程中产生的废碱液,得到沸石/水合氧化锆复合吸附剂(简称锆沸石)的改进方法。锆沸石的比表面积为1.931×105m2·kg-1,是沸石的近7倍。锆沸石的XRD衍射峰数量和位置与沸石相同,证明锆沸石中的水合氧化锆为无定形。锆沸石对磷的Langmuir最大吸附量为22.62 mg·g-1。吸附动力学实验结果表明,锆沸石对磷的吸附速率呈先快后慢的趋势。锆沸石对磷的吸附随pH上升而减少。水中常见的阴离子Cl-、NO-3不会对其除磷效果产生明显影响,而HCO2-3会通过提高溶液pH值明显降低吸附量。因此,以粉煤灰为原料,采用改进的合成方法制备锆沸石可获得除磷效果大幅提高的新型吸附剂。

纳米零价铁颗粒除磷反应机理

从溶液化学与固相表征两方面对纳米零价铁(NZVI)去除水中磷酸根(PO3-4)的机理进行初步探究。分别研究不同初始p H值、溶解氧(DO)对NZVI除磷效果的影响,结果表明,酸性环境(p H为3.0~7.0)有利于NZVI除磷,且初始p H值越低,磷去除率越高;好氧环境较厌氧环境更利于磷的去除,DO8.0 mg/L时对磷酸根的去除率是厌氧条件(DO0.1 mg/L)下的2倍。采用Na OH对反应后含磷NZVI进行解析,发现磷解析率不到30%,说明吸附并非NZVI除磷惟一作用机理。微米铁、NZVI和Ca(OH)2等7种不同去除材料中以Ca(OH)2的共沉淀作用去除率最大(99.9%),NZVI次之(87.2%),表明NZVI除磷机理中还存在共沉淀作用。采用多种固相表征手段对NZVI除磷前后进行分析:扫描电子显微镜(SEM)显示反应后出现不规则颗粒;X射线衍射(XRD)表明Fe3(PO4)2是主要反应产物;X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析未发现磷被还原成低价态。研究表明,NZVI可有效去除水中磷酸根,主要去除机理包括:NZVI对磷酸根的吸附作用、NZVI在水中腐蚀产生的Fe2+离子对磷酸根的化学沉淀作用及铁氢氧化物与磷酸根的共沉淀作用。     

Treatment of carbofuran-bearing synthetic wastewater using UASB process

In the present study, fate of carbofuran in anaerobic environments and the adverse effects of carbofuran on conventional anaerobic systems were evaluated. Carbofuran degradation studies were carried out in batch reactors with varying carbofuran concentrations of 0 to 270.73 mg/L corresponding to a sludge-loading rate (SLR) of 2.12 x 10(-6) to 3.83 x 10(-3) g of carbofuran/g of volatile suspended solids (VSS)/d. Carbofuran concentration was reduced to undetectable levels at the end of 8 and 13 days in the batch reactors operated with a SLR of 2.12 x 10(-6) and 3.33 x 10(-5) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d, respectively. Performances of two anaerobic reactors i.e. upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and modified UASB (with tube settlers) were evaluated in the presence and absence of carbofuran using synthetic wastewater. In the absence of carbofuran, the soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency in the conventional UASB reactor at 8 h and 6 h hydraulic retention time (HRT) was nearly 88% and 76%, respectively, whereas in modified UASB reactor it was increased to 90% at 8 h HRT and 78% at 6 h HRT. When 28 mg/L (SLR of 1.19 x 10(-2) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d) of carbofuran was introduced in the reactors, the COD removal efficiency was reduced to 41% and 44% in conventional and modified UASB reactors respectively. However, the reactor could maintain around 80% COD removal efficiency at a carbofuran concentration of 7.84 mg/L (SLR of 3.64 x 10(-3) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d). The reactor efficiency was also measured in terms of specific acetoclastic methanogenic activity (SMA). The toxic effect of carbofuran was reversible to a certain extent. Carbofuran removal efficiency in the conventional UASB reactor at carbofuran concentrations of 7, 13 and 28 mg/L were 40 +/- 3%, 27 +/- 3%, and 11 +/- 3%, respectively. In modified UASB reactor, carbofuran removal efficiency was almost uniform at 7 and 13 mg/L but it was reduced nearly by 56% at 28 mg/L. The major metabolite of carbofuran i.e. 3-keto carbofuran was found in all the reactors.     

Biological treatment of a synthetic gold milling effluent

This paper reports on biological sludge acclimatisation and the results concerning the removal of free cyanide, thiocyanate and metallocyanides (copper, iron and zinc) from a synthetic gold milling effluent. The experiments were carried out in a continuous bench-scale bioreactor, and the experimental set-up consisted of two identical units, one of which served as control. The acclimatisation of the biomass was based on a stepwise procedure, in which the proportion of synthetic solution in the influent was gradually increased. The reactors were fed with a mixture of synthetic effluent and sewage, and the treatment efficiency was evaluated through the monitoring of the following parameters: chemical oxygen demand (COD), free cyanide, thiocyanate, copper, iron and zinc concentrations. A well adapted microbial consortium was obtained at the end of the acclimatisation period, which was able to remove more than 95% of free cyanide, thiocyanate, copper and zinc, originally found in the influent. These removal efficiencies were obtained when the reactor was operated with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of about 8 h. The performance results of experiments carried out with lower HRT (5 h) and higher dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (6.5 mg litre(-1)) are also presented and discussed in this study.     

Copper-ligand complex for the decolorization of synthetic dyes

The reaction system containing Cu(II), hydrogen peroxide and D-arabinono-1,4-lactone was found to be effective in the decolorization and reduction of toxicity of azo, thiazine-, triphenylmethane- and anthraquinone-based synthetic dyes. More than 85% decolorization was obtained with 100ppm Acridine Orange, Azure B, Chicago Sky Blue 6B, Crystal Violet, Evans Blue, Poly B-411, Reactive Blue 2, Reactive Blue 5, and Remazol Brilliant Blue R incubated for 24h in the presence of 10mM CuSO(4), 20mM D-arabinono-1,4-lactone and 80 mM H(2)O(2). The rate of decolorization was not affected by pH in the range of 3-9. The rapid decolorization was accompanied by a fast decomposition of H(2)O(2) in the reaction mixture and by a fast production of hydroxyl radicals.     

Temperature dependent properties of environmentally important synthetic musks

Environmental fate determining physical properties including their temperature dependence for five nitro musks and for seven polycyclic musks were estimated. The properties evaluated were vapor pressure in a solid and liquid state (PS and PL), solubility in water (S), Henry's law coefficient (H = PL/S) and log octanol-water partition coefficient (log KOW). Gas chromatography for starting values of vapor pressure estimation and HPLC experiments at 5-20 degrees C for comparison of the theoretical versus experimental solubilities in water were performed. The values of temperature (T) dependence coefficients (Ai and Bi) in equations: log (Property)i = Ai - Bi/T were determined. Values of properties were compared with literature-based data, and an example of their use in environmental hazard estimation by fate modeling was given.     

The ecology and toxicology of synthetic organic pigments

Current knowledge of the ecological and toxicological properties of synthetic organic pigments is reviewed. Presumably because of their generally low solubility pigments exhibit little biological activity, especially in terms of acute toxicity. Only a minority of products has been subjected to long-term feeding studies, but no evidence of carcinogenic activity has been found. Although pigments are not readily biodegradable there is no evidence that they create any significant ecological problems; in practice only small amounts reach open waters as a result of their manufacture or application.     

The synthetic pyrethroid isomers I. Preparation

Abstract

Enantiomers and racemic mixtures of selected benzilic esters using resolved and raceme permethrinic or chrysanthemic acids of high purity were synthesised via improved methods based on conventional steps. Nine basic structures of selected derivatives having hydrogen, bromo or phenoxy group at meta position were prepared including the well known insecticides of phenothrin, permethrin and cypermethrin. The optical purity of these compounds were determined via an NMR method applying chiral shift reagents. The configuration of the isomers of new a‐cyano‐benzyl esters were assigned via a rule realized by comparing the characteristic 1H NMR shifts of the dimethyl groups attached to the cyclopropane ring.     

Ability of fungi to degrade synthetic polymer nylon-6

Fifty-eight fungi have been tested for their ability to degrade a recalcitrant synthetic polymer polyamide-6, generally known as nylon-6. Most of them were isolated from a factory producing nylon-6. After preliminary screening, 12 strains were selected for submerged culture in a medium with nylon fibres as the only N-source. No degradation was observed with the isolates from the factory. Wood degrading fungi from a culture collection, however, degraded nylon after incubation for several weeks. Bjerkandera adusta disintegrated the fibres most efficiently, starting with the small transverse grooves, which deepened into cracks. The superficial layers crumbled to leave a thin inner core of the fibre, which finally broke down into fragments. The remaining insoluble part of the nylon showed a decrease in number average molecular mass from 16900 to 5600 during a 60-day incubation. Its thermal properties, such as shifts in melting points and broadening of the melting endotherms, were altered. The reduction of the amount of nylon and the composition of the liquid phase indicated that part of the polymer was degraded into soluble products. After 50 days, the total nitrogen content of the soluble fraction was 10-fold higher than in the control sample. Manganese peroxidase, presumably responsible for the degradation, was detected in the liquid phase. The study shows that only white rot fungi are able to break down nylon-6. For the first time this polymer was shown to be disrupted by B. adusta. The extent of the biodegradation indicates its potential for application in nylon waste reduction.

Inactivation of cadmium in contaminated soils using synthetic zeolites

The addition of synthetic zeolite pellets to soils contaminated with cadmium significantly reduced the concentrations of cadmium in the roots and shoots of a range of crop plants. Use of synthetic foyazite group zeolites types 4A and 13X, at application rates of 1% by soil weight, caused reductions in cadmium concentrations of up to 86% in leaves of lettuce grown in pots, compared to controls with no added zeolites. The potential of these substances to reduce cadmium entry into the food chain, and as a clean up method, is noted.     

Biodegradability testing of synthetic ester lubricants--effects of additives and usage

The optimised biodegradability test system "O2/CO2 Headspace Test with GC-TCD" is used for the assessment of synthetic ester lubricants. The effects of both additives and usage on biodegradability are examined and discussed. Ester based cutting fluids and hydraulic fluids with and without additives are used under defined conditions at machine tools and hydraulic and plain bearing test benches. The lubricants are characterised additionally with respect to kinematic viscosity, acidity and elemental composition. Furthermore, a formulated mineral oil is characterised before and after usage at an hydraulic test bench. The results clearly show that the mineral oil is far less biodegradable than the ester oils and that their biodegradability is not affected by usage. Biodegradability of the ester oils is mainly depending on the characteristics of the base fluids and not affected by the additives. Antioxidants are influencing stability respectively biodegradability indirectly, since they prevent oxopolymerisation effects. Other effects of usage on biodegradation are not detected. In this context, the antioxidants ensure ready biodegradability and have a positive effect on the environmental fate of synthetic ester lubricants.
