研究了投菌量、金属浓度和戊二醛浓度对嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌吸附水体中Cu2+和Cd2+特性的影响,分析了重金属生物吸附、NO3-去除与菌体离子释放的关联,从离子吸附、交换、转化与释放的角度探讨了重金属生物吸附机制.结果表明嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌对Cu2+和Cd2+吸附性能良好,0.2 g·L-1干重菌体处理浓度为0.05 mmol·L-1的Cu(NO3)2和Cd(NO3)2溶液120 min后,Cu2+和Cd2+的吸附率分别达96.3%和83.9%.菌体对Cu(NO3)2和Cd(NO3)2溶液的吸附过程存在Cu2+和Cd2+的表面吸附与胞内运输、NO3-胞内积累、NO3-还原为NO2-等行为,而且Cu2+和Cd2+的胞内运输、NO3-积累和还原需要消耗能量,并会促进Cl-、PO43-、SO42-、Na+、NH4+、K+和Ca2+等离子的释放.红外光谱分析表明菌体酰胺基、羟基与羧基均参与了Cu2+和Cd2+的吸附.X-光电子能谱分析显示吸附后Cu2+和Cd2+的价态不发生变化.     

有机改性膨润土治理压载水有害生物的初步研究

船舶压载水造成的有害生物外来入侵问题已经引起世界性关注,本研究以阳离子表面活性剂十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(HDTMAB)为改性材料,通过膨润土颗粒的表面吸附及离子交换作用对膨润土进行了改性,并以常见于我国沿海的海洋生物种小球藻(Chlorella sp.)、新月菱形藻(Nitzchia closterium)为目标生物,研究了有机膨润土对压载水中有害生物的去除作用.实验结果表明膨润土与HDTMAB发生了有效结合,微观结构和形貌发生改变.当有机膨润土的用量为0.02 g/L时,在24 h内小球藻的去除率大于85%,新月菱形藻的去除率大于90%,而未经改性处理的原土在相同用量下没有表现出明显的去除作用,这表明膨润土通过有机改性除藻能力显著增强.同时对有机膨润土除藻机理进行分析,有机膨润土表面静电作用和季铵盐离子亲脂性长脂肪链的网捕作用及灭杀作用是有机改性膨润土去除微藻细胞的主要原因.     

酿酒酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)过程中阳离子(K+,Mg2+,Na+,Ca2+)的变化分析

研究了酿酒酵母无缓冲溶液体系吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的过程中各种阳离子的变化情况.研究结果表明,当Zn(Ⅱ)的初始浓度是0.08～0.8 mmol·L-1,酵母浓度约1 g·L-1,初始pH为5.65,反应38h内,酵母的Zn(Ⅱ)吸附量为74.8～654.8μmol·g-1,去除率达到76.4%～92.8%,pH值升高0.55～1.28.吸附过程中酵母首先快速释放大量K ,其次是Mg2 和Na ,Ca2 的释放量较少,数量级一般可分别达到几百、几十和几个μmol·g-1.以离子交换为基础计算的各阳离子释放量总和一般超过Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附量,证明酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的机理之一是离子交换,但不唯一.无缓冲溶液体系酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的过程中溶液pH值升高,H 被吸收,K 等阳离子释放,是生物体细胞的本质属性,与Zn(Ⅱ)是否存在无关,但是Zn(Ⅱ)可以促进阳离子的释放以及降低酵母对H 的吸收,也反映出Zn(Ⅱ)与H 之间可以竞争细胞表面吸附位.死酵母的吸附量低于未处理酵母,与阳离子交换能力关系不大,可能与细胞表面变形导致Zn(Ⅱ)吸附困难有关.     

阳-非离子有机膨润土对水中硝基苯的吸附作用

分别用阳离子表面活性剂CTMAB、非离子表面活性剂Triton X-100及其混合物改性膨润土制得一系列的单阳离子、单非离子、阳-非离子有机膨润土.比较了它们对水中硝基苯的吸附性能及机理.结果表明,有机膨润土吸附水中硝基苯的等温吸附曲线呈线性,主要为分配作用所致,分配作用的大小由有机膨润土有机碳含量决定,并与改性时表面活性剂的种类、组成及配比有关;阳-非离子混合表面活性剂改性的有机膨润土有机碳含量(foc)高于相应的单阳离子和单非离子有机膨润土有机碳含量的和,因此,阳-非离子有机膨润土对水中硝基苯的吸附能力显著增强.     

酿酒酵母与Ag+的相互作用机制研究

为探讨酿酒酵母与Ag+的相互作用机制,分析了酵母吸附Ag+过程中细胞阳离子的释放状况,并利用红外光谱(FTIR)、带能谱仪的扫描电镜(SEM-EDX)、带能谱仪的透射电镜(TEM.EDx)等手段表征了酵母细胞在吸附Ag+前后表面官能团的变化以及Ag+在酵母细胞中的存在位置和状态.结果表明,酵母细胞吸附Ag+伴随着大量细胞阳离子K+、Na+、Mg2+、Ca2+的释放.Ag+的存在会抑制体系pH值增加,并促进Mg2+、Ca2+的释放.与Ag+的吸附类似,K+、Na+、Mg2+、Ca2+的释放也很快,并且符合准二级动力学方程.酵母对Ag+的吸附,可被认为是离子交换机制和共价结合机制共同发挥作用FTIR证明酵母表面羧基对Ag+的吸附发挥重要作用.电镜分析结果表明,酵母细胞表面不仅吸附了Ag+,同时产牛更高浓度的含Ag沉淀物,使Ag+从溶液中去除,这些含Ag沉淀不均匀地分布于细胞表面,含Ag沉淀的性质以及形成过程还需要借助其他分析手段进行进一步确认.     

阳离子表面活性剂改性沸石对铬酸根的吸附机制

研究了由十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)改性制成的有机沸石对水体中铬酸根的吸附性能及吸附机制.结果表明,与沸石原矿相比有机沸石对铬酸根的吸附容量更高,而铬酸根在有机沸石表面的吸附量随着体系离子强度的增加而显著减小,说明铬酸根的吸附以静电作用为主.研究还发现沸石经有机改性后表面Zeta电位由负变正,说明表面活性剂在沸石表面的吸附改变了沸石表面的电荷性质,这也是有机沸石能够对铬酸根发生静电吸附的主要原因.铬酸根的吸附量及吸附的铬酸根的解吸量均随着体系pH值的升高而增加,分别约在pH=5.0和pH=6.0时达最大,随后铬酸根的吸附量和解吸量随着pH值的进一步增加逐渐减小.铬酸根的吸附量与解吸量之间的差值随pH升高而减小,说明在低pH条件下非静电吸附所占比例较高pH值条件下有所增加.     

酵母菌对低浓度铀的吸附机理及动力学研究

探究了以活性和高温灭活酵母为生物吸附剂对低浓度放射性核素铀的吸附能力、相关的动力学特性及机理.结果显示,活性酵母菌和灭活酵母菌对铀的最佳吸附p H分别为5.5和4.5,达到吸附动态平衡所需时间分别为240 min和30 min,活性酵母菌对铀的最佳吸附温度为26℃,而灭活酵母菌对铀的吸附能力受温度影响不明显.不同温度下,活性与灭活酵母对铀的吸附动力学均能较好地符合准二级动力学模型,可决系数均在0.99以上,表明活性与灭活酵母菌对铀的吸附过程中,都存在着电子共用或电子转移过程.扫描电镜结果显示,吸附铀后的活性酵母菌菌体表面出现凹陷,少量块状铀沉淀附着在表面,而经过高温高压处理的灭活酵母菌菌体表面积明显增大,大量的纳米颗粒状铀沉淀附着在表面.红外光谱分析表明,在活性酵母菌对铀离子吸附的过程中,羟基、醛羰基、N—H、C—N等为主要的吸附位点,而羟基、酮羰基、P=O、—HPO_4~(2-)等为灭活酵母菌对铀离子吸附的主要位点.     

四氯乙烯和铬复合污染地下水的有机凹凸棒土吸附性能研究

研究了有机凹凸棒土对人工模拟地下水中PCE和Cr6+两者复合污染的吸附行为。分别探讨了振荡吸附时间、凹土投加量、pH值对添加了重金属Cr6+前后凹土吸附PCE效果的影响;通过凹土对PCE的吸附等温线,讨论其吸附的内在机理。结果表明:有机凹土对TCE的吸附10min内达到平衡,吸附率达63.5%,而铬离子存在时吸附率下降至38.2%;当凹土加入量为15.38g/L时,吸附率可达62.8%,铬离子存在时,达到饱和所需的凹土量增加。PCE单组分在有机凹土上的吸附符合langmuir等温式。PCE和Cr(Ⅵ)经复合之后,PCE的吸附效果有所下降,吸附过程采用langmuir及freundlich等温式拟合均不够准确。     

酿酒酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)过程中阳离子(K+，Mg2+，Na+，Ca2+)的变化分析

研究了酿酒酵母无缓冲溶液体系吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的过程中各种阳离子的变化情况.研究结果表明,当Zn(Ⅱ)的初始浓度是0.08～0.8 mmol·L^-1,酵母浓度约1 g·L^-1,初始pH为5.65,反应38h内,酵母的Zn(Ⅱ)吸附量为74.8～654.8μmol·g^-1,去除率达到76.4%～92.8%,pH值升高0.55～1.28.吸附过程中酵母首先快速释放大量K⁺,其次是Mg²⁺和Na⁺,Ca²⁺的释放量较少,数量级一般可分别达到几百、几十和几个μmol·g^-1.以离子交换为基础计算的各阳离子释放量总和一般超过Zn(Ⅱ)的吸附量,证明酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的机理之一是离子交换,但不唯一.无缓冲溶液体系酵母吸附Zn(Ⅱ)的过程中溶液pH值升高,H⁺被吸收,K⁺等阳离子释放,是生物体细胞的本质属性,与Zn(Ⅱ)是否存在无关,但是Zn(Ⅱ)可以促进阳离子的释放以及降低酵母对H+的吸收,也反映出Zn(Ⅱ)与H⁺之间可以竞争细胞表面吸附位.死酵母的吸附量低于未处理酵母,与阳离子交换能力关系不大,可能与细胞表面变形导致Zn(Ⅱ)吸附困难有关.     

UiO-66/UiO-66-PYDC的制备及其对UO22+吸附性研究

通过水热法合成了两种锆基有机骨架材料,采用XRD、SEM、IR、TG、EDS、BET等技术对材料的结构和形貌进行了表征,并通过静态吸附实验在不同条件下测试所制材料对UO2+2的吸附性能,考察了时间、温度、初始铀浓度、pH、CO2-3对吸附的影响.结果表明:Ui O-66体系对铀酰离子的吸附以化学吸附为主,通过表面的羧基官能团与铀酰离子结合从而达到吸附的目的.此外,本实验中材料的比表面积对吸附的影响不明显.在初始最佳pH为10.5的条件下,通过热力学模型拟合发现,低浓度下Ui O-66拥有更大的吸附量.随着溶液中初始铀酰离子浓度的升高,Ui O-66-PYDC展现出更好的吸附效果.     

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.

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
