• Pd nanoparticles could be reduced and supported by activated sludge microbes.• The effect of biomass on Pd adsorption by microbes is greater than Pd reduction.• More biomass reduces Pd particle size, which is more dispersed on the cell surface.• When the biomass/Pd add to 6, the catalytic reduction rate of Cr(VI) reaches stable. Palladium, a kind of platinum group metal, owns catalytic capacity for a variety of hydrogenations. In this study, Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) were generated through enzymatic recovery by microbes of activated sludge at various biomass/Pd, and further used for the Cr(VI) reduction. The results show that biomass had a strong adsorption capacity for Pd(II), which was 17.25 mg Pd/g sludge. The XRD and TEM-EDX results confirmed the existence of PdNPs associated with microbes (bio-Pd). The increase of biomass had little effect on the reduction rate of Pd(II), but it could cause decreasing particle size and shifting location of Pd(0) with the better dispersion degree on the cell surface. In the Cr(VI) reduction experiments, Cr(VI) was first adsorbed on bio-Pd with hydrogen and then reduced using active hydrogen as electron donor. Biomass improved the catalytic activity of PdNPs. When the biomass/Pd (w/w) ratio increased to six or higher, Cr(VI) reduction achieved maximum rate that 50 mg/L of Cr(VI) could be rapidly reduced in one minute. 相似文献
In this study, farmland and mining ecotypes of Solanum photeinocarpum (a potential cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator plant) were reciprocally hybridized each other, and the Cd accumulation characteristics of the F1 hybrids were studied. In pot experiments, higher biomasses and Cd extraction abilities were found for two S. photeinocarpum F1 hybrids than for the parents, but the Cd contents in various organs were lower in the hybrids than the parents. However, the differences between the Cd contents in the two hybrids were not significant. The antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and peroxidase) activities were higher for the S. photeinocarpum F1 hybrids than the parents. Less DNA methylation was found in the hybrids than the parents because more demethylation occurred in the hybrids than the parents. The biomass, Cd content, and Cd extraction ability effects in field experiments were similar to the effects in the pot experiments. It was concluded that reciprocally hybridizing different S. photeinocarpum ecotypes improved the ability of S. photeinocarpum to be used to phytoremediate contaminated land.

基于土地评价和立地条件评估(Land Evaluation and Site Assessment, LESA)框架构建以耕地自然质量、生态敏感性、区位条件、耕作条件和土壤环境安全风险组成的指标体系,以决策树归纳法将浦东新区耕地划分为工业污染、生态农业、轮作休耕、农业连片、休闲农业和非农转化6类管护区,根据各区管护重点提出规模经营及绿色生产、休闲观光及农田保育、非农管控及发展限制型耕地生态补偿模式。上海市浦东新区耕地自然质量优良,约50%的耕地可规模经营及连片生产,但仍有10%左右的耕地面临着工业污染和非农占用的风险。建议对以稳产高产和生态协调为目标的农业连片区和生态农业区采取规模经营及绿色生产型生态补偿模式,对发展农业生产新形态的轮作休耕区和休闲农业区采取休闲观光及农田保育型生态补偿模式,对非农化风险较高的工业污染区和非农转化区采取非农管控及发展限制型生态补偿模式。 相似文献
