K2S2O8强化g-C3N4薄膜电极光电催化降解Cu(CN)32-并同步回收Cu

采用高温液相生长法制得g-C_3N_4薄膜电极并作为光阳极,以石墨毡作为阴极,建立了光电催化系统.通过对比光电催化体系、K_2S_2O_8体系以及外加K_2S_2O_8到光电催化体系,发现在光电催化系统下外加K_2S_2O_8可以有效地提高光电催化降解Cu(CN)_3~(2-)的效率,并实现了Cu在阴极上的有效回收.探究了K_2S_2O_8投加量对CN-降解率和Cu回收率的影响,发现当K_2S_2O_8浓度为1 mmol·L~(-1),偏压为1.0 V时,CN-的去除率和Cu回收率分别达到86.23%和82.11%.通过SEM、EDS和XPS分析阴阳极表面形貌,发现部分Cu+被氧化以CuO的形式存在于沉淀和阳极表面,大部分铜离子通过电化学还原作用以单质铜的形式沉积于阴极表面,铜离子有效地从体系中去除.电子顺磁共振及淬灭实验分析表明,CN-的氧化去除是硫酸根自由基(SO·-4)氧化和非自由基氧化共同作用.     

Reaction mechanism and metal ion transformation in photocatalytic ozonation of phenol and oxalic acid with Ag+/TiO2

Photocatalytic ozonation of phenol and oxalic acid （OA） was conducted with a Ag^＋/TiO2 catalyst and different pathways were found for the degradation of different compounds. Ag^＋ greatly promoted the photocatalytic degradation of contaminants due to its role as an electron scavenger. It also accelerated the removal rate of OA in ozonation and the simultaneous process for its complex reaction with oxalate. Phenol could be degraded both in direct ozonation and photolysis, but the TOC removal rates were much higher in the simultaneous processes due to the oxidation of hydroxyl radicals resulting from synergetic effects. The sequence of photo-illumination and ozone exposure in the combined process showed quite different effects in phenol degradation and TOC removal. The synergetic effects in different combined processes were found to be highly related to the properties of the target pollutants. The color change of the solution and TEM result confirmed that Ag＋ was easily reduced and deposited on the surface of Tit2 under photo-illumination, and dissolved again into solution in the presence of ozone. This simple cycle of enrichment and distribution of Ag^＋ can greatly benefit the design of advanced oxidation processes, in which the sequences of ozone and photo-illumination can be varied according to the needs for catalyst recycling and the different properties of pollutants.     

Ag改性石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)可见光辅助活化过一硫酸盐降解罗丹明B

采用煅烧法和光还原法制备出具有高活性的Ag/g-C₃N₄催化剂,并将其应用于可见光下活化过一硫酸盐（PMS）降解罗丹明B（RhB）废水.系统研究了实际因素RhB浓度、催化剂投加量、PMS剂量、pH值和可溶性无机阴离子对RhB降解效果的影响.结果表明,RhB的降解率随着催化剂投加量、PMS浓度的增加而增大,随着初始RhB浓度的增加而减小.弱酸性条件有利于反应活化PMS降解RhB,而中性或碱性条件都会减缓催化反应的进行.Ag/g-C₃N₄-2/Vis/PMS催化体系30 min内对RhB的去除率最高可达93.2%,分别是Ag/g-C₃N₄/Vis和单独PMS催化体系的4.0和3.7倍.体系催化活性的提高归因于Ag的表面等离子共振效应及基于硫酸根自由基的高级氧化技术与光催化技术的协同作用.不同阴离子对催化反应的影响不同,溶液中的Cl^-会对反应产生轻微的抑制作用,而H₂PO₄^-和HCO₃^-的出现大大抑制了催化性能.催化剂具有良好的稳定性,5次循环后仍能在30 min之内降解77.4%的RhB.此外,捕获实验和ESR测试结果表明,Ag/g-C₃N₄-2/Vis/PMS催化体系中存在·O₂^-、h⁺、¹O₂、SO₄^-·和·OH活性物种,并协同降解RhB污染物.     

Dynamic nano-Ag colloids cytotoxicity to and accumulation by Escherichia coli: Effects of Fe3+, ionic strength and humic acid

Released Ag ions or/and Ag particles are believed to contribute to the cytotoxicity of Ag nanomaterials, and thus, the cytotoxicity and mechanism of Ag nanomaterials should be dynamic in water due to unfixed Ag particle:Ag⁺ ratios. Our recent research found that the cytotoxicity of PVP-Ag nanoparticles is attributable to Ag particles alone in 3 hr bioassays, and shifts to both Ag particles and released Ag⁺ in 48 hr bioassays. Herein, as a continued study, the cytotoxicity and accumulation of 50 and 100 nm Ag colloids in Escherichia coli were determined dynamically. The cytotoxicity and mechanisms of nano-Ag colloids are dynamic throughout exposure and are derived from both Ag ions and particles. Ag accumulation by E. coli is derived mainly from extracellular Ag particles during the initial 12 hr of exposure, and thereafter mainly from intracellular Ag ions. Fe³⁺ accelerates the oxidative dissolution of nano-Ag colloids, which results in decreasing amounts of Ag particles and particle-related toxicity. Na⁺ stabilizes nano-Ag colloids, thereby decreasing the bioavailability of Ag particles and particle-related toxicity. Humic acid (HA) binds Ag⁺ to form Ag⁺-HA, decreasing ion-related toxicity and binding to the E. coli surface, decreasing particle-related toxicity. HA in complex conditions showed a stronger relative contribution to toxicity and accumulation than Na⁺ or Fe³⁺. The results highlighted the cytotoxicity and mechanism of nano-Ag colloids are dynamic and affected by environmental factors, and therefore exposure duration and water chemistry should be seriously considered in environmental and health risk assessments.

Nickel phosphide on Ni foam as anode and peroxymonosulfate as the chemical oxidizer for effective direct urea fuel cell

The direct urea fuel cell (DUFC) is a low cost and competitive approach for contemporaneous urine or urea-contaminated wastewater treatment and electricity generation. However, the lack of efficient urea oxidation reaction (UOR) electrocatalysts and suitable electron acceptors remains a challenge for practical applications. Here, we developed a DUFC system using Ni₂[email protected] foam as the anode and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as the chemical oxidizers. The Ni₂[email protected] foam anode showed a high oxidation activity for UOR with an onset potential of 0.30 V vs. Ag/AgCl and Tafel slope of 34.4 mV/dec. PMS with high theoretical potential improved the cell voltage to 1.43 V. A power density of DUFC up to 4.91 mW/cm² was achieved using PMS at room temperature, which was approximately twice as high as using H₂O₂ (2.38 mW/cm²). Ni^II/Ni^III was the redox active species on the Ni₂P anode in the DUFC process, and Ni^II was electrochemically oxidized to Ni^III, which reverted to Ni^II by urea reduction. When real human urine was used as the fuel, a power density of 4.46 mW/cm² can be achieved at room temperature. This DUFC with high cell performance showed potential application in urea wastewater treatment.     

Sunlight-driven reduction of silver ion to silver nanoparticle by organic matter mitigates the acute toxicity of silver to Daphnia magna

Due to the unique antibacterial activities, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively used in commercial products. Anthropogenic activities have released considerable AgNPs as well as highly toxic silver ion (Ag⁺) into the aquatic environment. Our recent study revealed that ubiquitous natural organic matter (NOM) could reduce Ag⁺ to AgNP under natural sunlight. However, the toxic effect of this process is not well understood. In this work, we prepared mixture solution of Ag⁺ and AgNPs with varied Ag⁺% through the sunlight-driven reduction of Ag⁺ by NOM and investigated the acute toxicity of the solutions on Daphnia magna. Formation of AgNPs was demonstrated and characterized by comprehensive techniques and the fraction of unconverted Ag⁺ was determined by ultrafiltration-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry determination. The formation of AgNPs enhanced significantly with the increasing of solution pH and cumulative photosynthetically active radiation of sunlight. The toxicity of the resulting solution was further investigated by using freshwater crustacean D. magna as a model and an 8 hr-median lethal concentration (LC₅₀) demonstrated that the reduction of Ag⁺ by NOM to AgNPs significantly mitigated the acute toxicity of silver. These results highlight the importance of sunlight and NOM in the fate, transformation and toxicity of Ag⁺ and AgNPs, and further indicate that the acute toxicity of AgNPs should be mainly ascribed to the dissolved Ag⁺ from AgNPs.     

负载磁性废茶生物炭活化过一硫酸盐高效降解水中腐殖酸和富里酸

城市污水厂二级处理出水中含有大量的溶解性有机物（Dissolved organic matters,DOM）会对生物和受纳水体构成潜在的危害,因此有必要对二级处理出水进行深度处理.本研究以农业废弃物茶叶渣为原料,通过对废弃茶叶改性和负磁制备一种磁性废茶生物炭（Fe-tea biochar,Fe-TB）,用于活化过一硫酸盐（Peroxymonosulfate,PMS）氧化降解水中的腐殖酸（Humic acid,HA）和富里酸（Fulvic acid,FA）.考察Fe-TB铁负载量、PMS浓度、Fe-TB投加量、初始pH、HA和FA的初始浓度对Fe-TB/PMS体系氧化降解HA和FA的影响.结果表明,在铁碳比为2/1（W/W）、PMS=0.2 g·L^-1,2Fe-TB投加量分别为0.6 g·L^-1（HA体系）和0.4 g·L^-1（FA体系）、初始pH=7条件下,50 min时对初始浓度为20 mg·L^-1的HA和FA的去除率分别达到95.3%和77.4%;经过4次重复循环使用,HA和FA的去除率均在59.0%以上,表明其良好的稳定性和重复使用性.淬灭实验及电子顺磁共振（EPR）分析结果证明2Fe-TB/PMS体系以单线态氧（¹O₂）为主要氧化活性物种降解HA和FA.实际二级处理出水中的DOM降解结果表明,2Fe-TB /PMS体系可以有效降解实际水体中的DOM,具有良好的应用前景.     

分段进水两级A/O工艺对白酒废水的强化处理效果

为有效控制白酒废水中高质量浓度NH₄+-N对A/O系统冲击引起的出水水质超标问题,分析比较单级A/O工艺和分段进水两级A/O工艺[进水时间（以min计）分配比为7:3]对白酒废水的处理效果.结果表明:与单级A/O工艺相比,分段进水两级A/O工艺出水中ρ（NH₄+-N）、ρ（NO₂--N）、ρ（NO₃--N）和ρ（COD_Cr）均显著降低,其平均去除率分别提高了16.9%、43.2%、49.7%和8%.分段进水两级A/O工艺的二次进水能够为短程硝化反硝化的进行提供有效碳源和NH₄+-N等,为NO₂--N和NO₃--N等去除提供了有利条件;同时,它通过促进对系统内碳源的利用以及NO₂--N的去除,进一步降低了出水中ρ（COD_Cr）.此外,分段进水两级A/O工艺通过降低NH₄+-N和NO₂--N等污染物质量浓度,也能有效减弱其对氨氧化菌和亚硝酸盐氧化菌等微生物的抑制作用,为后续好氧阶段含氮污染物的去除奠定基础.但是,分段进水两级A/O工艺对白酒废水中PO₄3-的去除效果有限,这主要是因为第二阶段的NO₂--N存在使反应系统处于缺氧环境,同时在碳源不充足的情况下,导致聚磷微生物释磷不充分,降低了第二好氧段的吸磷动力.研究显示,分段进水两级A/O工艺能够有效强化白酒废水中三态氮和COD_Cr的降解去除.      

焦化废水水质组成及其环境学与生物学特性分析

焦化废水水质的复杂性及对环境、生态影响的不确定性制约了处理水质的全面达标,且可能对后续水体造成危害.为了解焦化废水的基本物化性质、环境学特性及生物学特性,采用离子色谱、ICP/MS、GC/MS等分析手段研究了广东韶关焦化厂废水的COD、BOD、色度、氨氮、主要阴阳离子、金属成分及有机物组成等,评价了该焦化废水组分的可处理性及环境危害性,分析了焦化废水生物处理过程及可能存在的惰性有机污染物.结果表明,焦化废水构成环境危害的主要组分有COD、氨氮,挥发酚、氰化物、硫化物、氟化物及油份等,重点是有机污染物;第一类污染物在原水及外排水中的浓度是安全的;焦化废水中以酚为代表的有机物及多环、杂环化合物在水中广泛存在,经处理后仍有间甲酚、长链烷烃、苯系物、酯类、醇类、卤代烃及胺类等进入环境;造成焦化废水处理效率不高的原因是各组分之间的不协调而难以维持生物系统的正常ATP酶活,富氮缺磷,氨的生物毒害,毒性有机物对生物的抑制,Na /K 比例失衡等.因此,有毒/难降解焦化废水的处理技术须综合考虑污染物的组成、合理的工艺及排放水的生态安全性.

苯酚对厌氧氨氧化污泥脱氮效能长短期影响

通过接种厌氧氨氧化(ANAMMOX)污泥,研究了苯酚浓度对ANAMMOX污泥脱氮效能长短期影响.短期结果表明,随着苯酚浓度的增大,氮去除率快速下降.当苯酚浓度大于600 mg·L-1时,NH+4-N的去除率降低到6%以下,TN的去除率只有10%左右.长期实验结果表明,当苯酚浓度小于100 mg·L-1时,NH+4-N的去除率都能达到99%以上,说明低浓度苯酚对ANAMMOX菌有一个驯化的过程.当苯酚浓度高于400 mg·L-1时,NH+4-N的去除率只有23.59%,TN去除率只有50.3%,ANAMMOX污泥抑制明显,与短期结果相同.此时反硝化菌活性明显高于ANAMMOX菌,说明苯酚可作为有机碳源诱发体系中发生反硝化反应,最终导致反硝化菌在体系中占据主导地位.但高浓度(1 000 mg·L-1)苯酚对反硝化菌也具有抑制作用.通过拟合得到苯酚对ANAMMOX半抑制有效浓度(IC50)为71.57 mg·L-1.经过18 d的恢复后,NH+4-N去除率基本恢复,但氮素之间的转化计量式发生了改变,ρ(NH+4-N)去除/ρ(NO-2-N)去除/ρ(NO-3-N)生成为1∶0.86∶0.2.研究结果表明,将苯酚控制在合理范围内可以使反应器达到同步脱氮除酚的效果.     

DAT-IAT工艺处理城市污水的生态风险评估

采用常规水质指标检测和种子发芽及根伸长抑制的陆生生态毒理方法,评价了DAT-IAT工艺处理过程中各工艺阶段污水的生态风险.常规水质指标检测结果显示,COD和SS可以达标排放,而氮的形态由进水时的NH⁺₄-N转变为DAT、出水中的NO^-₃-N,只是形态发生了变化,并没有从污水中去除,虽然达到了设计的NH⁺₄-N去除要求,可以达标排放,但是并未降低受纳水体发生富营养化的生态风险.生态毒理指标检测结果显示,进水、DAT、出水各阶段污水中COD对小麦种子发芽的半数抑制浓度逐渐降低,分别为249.3、 165.3和161.2 mg·L^-1;对小麦根伸长的半数抑制浓度也逐渐降低,分别为257.6、 154.0和142.1 mg·L^-1,表明DAT-IAT工艺处理过程中污水的生态毒性变化趋势为逐渐增大,处理后的出水存在一定的生态风险,有进一步进行生态风险调控的必要性.在相同水质条件下,小麦根伸长抑制率比小麦种子发芽抑制率更显著,可以把小麦根伸长作为评价污水处理生态风险的敏感指标之一.

g-C3N4修饰的TiO2纳米阵列光电催化氧化去除氰化物

通过水热法制备了TiO_2纳米棒(TiO_2NRs)电极,然后通过液相生长法将石墨相氮化碳(g-C_3N_4)负载到TiO_2NRs电极上制备出TiO_2NRs/g-C_3N_4电极.电极的XRD和SEM表征结果表明,g-C_3N_4成功负载到了TiO_2NRs上.将TiO_2NRs/g-C_3N_4电极作为光阳极用于光电催化体系中,并于反应体系中不断曝入O_2,结果发现,与钛片相比,碳气凝胶(CA)电极作为阴极时,反应150 min后CN~-的去除率由13.4%提高到53.1%.与PC过程和EC过程相比,PEC过程对CN~-的去除效果最好.不同光阳极的对比表明,g-C_3N_4与TiO_2的复合可以大大提高阴极H_2O_2产量从而促进CN~-的去除.实验表明,外加偏压的增大可以提高体系中H_2O_2的产量从而增强CN~-的去除效果,CN~-的去除率随CN~-初始浓度的增大而减小.体系的稳定性实验表明,制备的TiO_2NRs/g-C_3N_4电极具有较好的稳定性.最后提出了通过碳气凝胶阴极利用光生电子原位产H_2O_2,强化了TiO_2NRs/g-C_3N_4复合电极作为光阳极对水中CN~-的去除效果的反应机理.     

Electrochemical removal of ammonium nitrogen in high efficiency and N2 selectivity using non-noble single-atomic iron catalyst

Ammonia nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, especially in offshore aquaculture systems. Electrochemical oxidation is very promising to remove NH₄⁺-N, but suffers from the use of precious metals anodes. In this work, a robust and cheap electrocatalyst, iron single-atoms distributed in nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-SAs/N-C), was developed for electrochemical removal of NH₄⁺-N from in wastewater containing chloride. The Fe-SAs/N-C catalyst exhibited superior activity than that of iron nanoparticles loaded carbon (Fe-NPs/N-C), unmodified carbon and conventional Ti/IrO₂-TiO₂-RuO₂ electrodes. And high removal efficiency (> 99%) could be achieved as well as high N₂ selectivity (99.5%) at low current density. Further experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the indispensable role of single-atom iron in the promoted generation of chloride derived species for efficient removal of NH₄⁺-N. This study provides promising inexpensive catalysts for NH₄⁺-N removal in aquaculture wastewater.     

Comparative study of leaching of silver nanoparticles from fabric and effective effluent treatment

Nano silver (Ag_n) is employed as an active antimicrobial agent, but the environmental impact of Ag_n released from commercial products is unknown. The quantity of nanomaterial released from consumer products during use should be determined to assess the environmental risks of advancement of nanotechnology. This work investigated the amount of silver released from three different types of fabric into water during washing. Three different types of fabric were loaded with chemically synthesized Ag nanoparticles and washed repeatedly under simulated washing conditions. Variable leaching rates among fabric types suggest that the manufacturing process may control the release of silver reaching the waste water treatment plants. In an attempt to recover the Ag_n for reutilization and to save it from polluting water, the effluents from the wash were efficiently treated with bacterial strains. This treatment was based on biosorption and was very efficient for the elimination of silver nanoparticles in the wash water. The process ensured the recovery of the Ag_n leached into the effluent for reutilization, thus preventing environmental repercussions.
