光电催化降解10-壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备TiO₂薄膜光电极,以该电极为工作电极,铂丝作对电极,饱和甘汞电极为参比电极,对10-壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚的光电催化降解进行了研究.结果表明,该电极具有n型半导体的特征行为.在外加偏压为+0.6V,pH值为5,H₂O₂浓度为30mg/L的条件下对初始浓度为50mg/L的10-壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚溶液光照4h,降解率达53.26%.讨论了氧的存在、外加偏压、pH值等因素对光电催化反应的影响.     

壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚降解前后的激素效应和诱变活性

采用重组基因酵母和SOS/Umu试验研究了壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NP₁₀EO)经生物降解前后的雌激素活性和致突变活性.结果表明,在降解反应开始后的4d内降解产物的雌激素活性较低且不具有致突变性.随着降解时间的不断增加,降解产物的雌激素活性和致突变性不断增强.降解20d后,降解产物的雌激素活性相当于1nmol 17-β雌二醇的61.6%,诱变比值大于2,表明壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚的生物降解产物同时具有雌激素活性和致突变活性,且两者在产生时间和活性数值方面均是同步的和成正相关的.因此致突变活性很可能是此类降解产物对生物机体具有雌激素活性的基础.

论文对表面改性剂(包括硅烷偶联剂如:A-172、KH-570、CG-550、KH-550等和表面活性剂如:壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚、十六烷基三甲基氯化铵等)和操作条件(反应温度、搅拌转速、pH等)对白炭黑白炭黑洗涤水用量的影响进行了研究,并将实验所得的白炭黑的性能(吸油值、比表面积等)与文献值进行了比较,结果表明壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在投加量为1.2 g、改性温度在50℃、改性pH在中性或偏弱碱性时硫酸钠含量最低,此时洗涤水用量最少。硅烷偶联剂对产品的理化性能的改性作用要好于表面改性剂,而表面活性剂对洗涤水用量的影响作用大于硅烷偶联剂。

硅胶表面壬基酚印迹材料的制备及其固相萃取应用

采用表面分子印迹技术,以壬基酚为模板分子,4-乙烯吡啶为功能单体,乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯为交联剂,通过溶胶凝胶法在无定型硅胶表面合成了壬基酚分子印迹聚合物。通过扫描电镜和红外光谱表征证明成功在硅胶表面合成了表面印迹聚合物。对印迹聚合物吸附性能考察的结果表明,该印迹聚合物对壬基酚仅15 min左右达到吸附平衡,去除率达75.13%,具有明显的快速吸附性和良好的选择吸附性。与C18柱相比,该分子印迹聚合物为填料的固相萃取柱对纺织品中的壬基酚具有显著的选择性分离和富集的能力,对壬基酚的加标回收率为86.4%~95.3%,相对标准偏差为2.8%~4.9%,表现出较高的回收率和准确性。     

NPnEO在中国北方四城市污水处理厂的污染研究

测定了中国北方4个城市污水处理厂进、出水中壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPnEO,n为聚合度)及其代谢产物的浓度及分布,同时测定了其中2个污水处理厂污泥中上述物质的浓度和分布,初步探讨了NPnEO在城市污水处理过程中的迁移转化行为.结果表明:在4个城市污水处理厂的进、出水及其中2个厂的污泥中均检测到了浓度不等的NPnEO及其代谢产物;NPnEO在各城市污水处理厂都得到了一定程度的降解去除,去除率为23.38%～77.11%,平均为52.86%;NPnEO大分子组分降解成了小分子组分,但并未完全矿化;出水中以壬基酚(NP)、壬基酚一乙氧基醚(NP1EO)和壬基酚二乙氧基醚(NP2EO)小分子组分的浓度高.这些小分子产物都具有比母体化合物更高的毒性,并具有环境内分泌干扰性质,因此污水处理过程不但没有降低反而增加了生态风险,是环境中小分子NPnEO的主要来源;污泥对NPnEO,特别是小分子代谢产物有良好的吸附性能,其在污泥中的浓度水平较高,合理处置污泥避免二次污染值得进一步研究探讨.      

1株异养脱氮菌降解壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚的研究

研究了异养脱氮菌Bacillus sp.LY降解壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPEOs)的性能.结果表明,该菌株具有较强地降解NPEOs的能力,且在实现NPEOs降解去除的同时表现出一定的异养脱氮性能.降解14d后, Bacillus sp.LY对NPEOs去除率达95.6%,对体系中的总氮去除率为43.9%.该菌株对NPEOs的降解去除符合一级动力学特征,其降解速率常数为0.224d-1.该菌株通过无氧化过程的乙氧基链的逐渐缩短的途径降解去除NPEOs,可避免产生危害性更大的NPEOs的羧酸化产物(NPECs).在分别以氨态氮(NH4C1)、硝态氮(NaNO3)和亚硝态氮(NaNO2)3种不同氮素为氮源的条件下,菌株对NPEOs均具有一定的降解效果,其中以氨态氮为氮源时菌株对NPEOs降解效果最好.研究结果可为消除壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚与氮素复合污染提供理论依据.

Biotransformation of nonylphenol ethoxylates during sewage treatment under anaerobic and aerobic conditions

Biotransformation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) during continuous anaerobic sewage treatment was compared with the aerobic treatment of sewage spiked with 23 μmol/L technical NPEOs over a period of 90 d. Immediate degradation of NPEOs was observed under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions, indicating that the enzymes and bacteria required for NPEO degradation existed abundantly in both aerobic and anaerobic sludge. Both treatments achieved high removal (＞92%) of the spiked NPEO9 mixture.Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis showed that short-chain NPEOs (NPEO1-NPEO3) accumulated in anaerobic (2.01-2.56 μmol/L) and aerobic (1.62-2.03 μmol/L) effluents, with nonylphenol (NP) (0.24-0.31 μmol/L) as another group of metabolites in the anaerobic effluent, and nonylphenoxy carboxylates (NPECs) (2.79-3.30 μmol/L) in the aerobic effluent. Significant accumulation of NP in the anaerobic sludge and NPEO1-3 in the sludge of two reactors was observed. These results indicated that it was difficult to control these harmful metabolites in the conventional treatment processes. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles of sludge samples support the speculation that the NPEO degradation bacteria might be the dominant indigenous species.     

Vertical distribution of nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates in sedimentary core from the Beipaiming Channel, North China

The vertical profiles of nonylphenol （NP） and nonylphenol ethoxylates （NPEOs） were investigated in a sediment core from the Beipaiming Channel, North China using high sensitive LC-MS and GC-MS metthods In this core, relatively high concentrations of NP and NPEOs occurred in the surface sediment （≤40 cm）, with the maximum value of NP and NPEOs reaching 3539 and 12735 mg/g, respectively, whereas, no NP or NPEOs were detected in deeper sediments （〉40 cm）. The high concentrations of NP and NPEOs in the surface layers suggested recent inputs in this area. NPEOs with short ethoxy chains （NPnEO, n=0-3） were dominant in the NPEO mixture with percentages from 54% to 78%, which were similar to the distribution of homolog NPEO in effluents from nearby sewage treatment plants （STPs）, indicating that the channel received the effluents from these STPs. The sewage treatment ratio was quite similar to that found in North America before the 1980s. Finally, the concentrations of NP and NPEOs were related to the total organic carbon （TOC） （p〈0.001）, suggesting that TOC was an important factor for vertical distribution of NPEOs and NP from the Beipaiming Channel.     

含藻水中壬基酚的光降解转化研究

选取壬基酚(nonylphenol,NP)作为研究对象,研究了水中2种常见淡水藻(小球藻和鱼腥藻)对壬基酚的光降解促进作用,并对藻引发水中壬基酚的光降解途径进行了分析;同时也研究了天然水中普遍存在的物质成分(腐殖酸和铁离子)与藻协同引发壬基酚的光降解及其影响机制.结果表明,含淡水藻的水溶液经过光照后能引发其中壬基酚的光降解;藻、腐殖酸和铁离子的水溶液经过光照后,对壬基酚光降解的增强促进作用更大,在含藻、腐殖酸和铁离子的水溶液中,4 h光照后壬基酚的降解率可达58%.根据此结果推测藻/腐殖酸和铁离子体系光照后能产生更多的活性物质,从而促进水中有机污染物的光降解.     

Comparative toxicity study of a novel non-ionic surfactant, vanillin ethoxylates, and nonylphenol ethoxylates in Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro

Surfactants such as alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APEOs) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) are commonly used worldwide, but the majority of these compounds, together with their metabolites, have been reported to induce severe biological toxicity. Here, we evaluated for the first time the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and mitochondrial damage in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells caused by a novel non-ionic surfactant, vanillin ethoxylates (VAEOs), an alternative to APEOs. In parallel, the same in vitro bioassays were conducted on NPEOs along with their metabolic byproducts 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) and vanillin. The results showed that the cytotoxic potency order was NPEOs?>?4-NP?>?VAEOs > vanillin using CCK-8 assays. Also, 4-NP showed potential direct DNA damage in SOS/umu tests, whereas NPEOs, VAEOs and vanillin showed no positive result with and without S9 addition. In addition, none of the test compounds showed obvious genotoxic effects with low olive tail moment value using comet assays. However, all test compounds were shown to cause mitochondrial impairment by increasing mitochondrial mass and decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner. And further analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial superoxide (MNSOD) measurement showed that mitochondrial impairment was induced by oxidative stress with intracellular ROS and MNSOD overproduction. It's worth noting that VAEOs and vanillin cause relative lower cytotoxic, genotoxic and mitochondrial damage effects than NPEOs and 4-NP, indicating that VAEOs have the potential to substitute NPEOs as suitable surfactants. Take together, this study elucidates the toxicity profiles of VAEOs and NPEOs relatively comprehensively, and further toxicity analyses are suggested in the population, community and ecosystem.     

壬基酚异构体的雌激素效应研究进展

壬基酚是一种内分泌干扰物,可以对人类和动物机体正常的内分泌功能产生影响。以往进行的壬基酚雌激素效应研究多以工业壬基酚为研究对象,很少以单一的壬基酚异构体作为受试化合物。而工业壬基酚是由不同异构体组成的混合物,不同结构壬基酚异构体的雌激素活性存在差异。文章综述了国内外壬基酚及异构体雌激素效应研究的现状,包括各种雌激素活性体外测定方法与结果、壬基酚异构体结构与雌激素活性的相关性等,分析了文献中不同实验条件下壬基酚雌激素活性测定结果产生差异的原因,提出了壬基酚雌激素效应研究的展望。
