PFOS潜在替代品全氟丁基磺酸钾对不同营养水平水生生物的毒性

全氟丁基磺酸钾(PFBSK)作为全氟辛基磺酸(PFOS)潜在的替代品,极易溶于水,主要存在于水体中,因而其水生毒性的研究十分重要。采用OECD 201、OECD 202、OECD 203和OECD 211标准试验方法,研究了PFBSK对羊角月牙藻(Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata)、大型溞(Daphnia magna)和中国本土鱼种稀有鮈鲫(Gobiocypris rarus)的急性毒性效应以及对大型溞繁殖的影响。组合多终点急慢性水生生物毒性结果：PFBSK的急性毒性终点均大于100 mg·L^-1,大型溞繁殖试验的无观察效应浓度(NOEC)为571 mg·L^-1,最低可观察效应浓度(LOEC)为981 mg·L^-1。按GHS分类导则,PFBSK未表现出急性毒性和慢性毒性。与之相比,PFOS则对水生生物表现出毒性,黑头软口鲦(Pimephales promelas)为最敏感物种,其96 h-LC₅₀为4.7 mg·L^-1;大型溞繁殖试验的NOEC为12 mg·L^-1。按GHS分类导则,属于中等毒性物质。可见,PFBSK较PFOS水生毒性明显降低。     

Wet precipitation chemistry at a high-altitude site (3,326 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau

This paper presents the results of wet precipitation chemistry from September 2009 to August 2010 at a high-altitude forest site in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). The alkaline wet precipitation, with pH ranging from 6.25 to 9.27, was attributed to the neutralization of dust in the atmosphere. Wet deposition levels of major ions and trace elements were generally comparable with other alpine and remote sites around the world. However, the apparently greater contents/fluxes of trace elements (V, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd), compared to those in central and southern TP and pristine sites of the world, reflected potential anthropogenic disturbances. The almost equal mole concentrations and perfect linear relationships of Na⁺ and Cl^? suggested significant sea-salts sources, and was confirmed by calculating diverse sources. Crust mineral dust was responsible for a minor fraction of the chemical components (less than 15 %) except Al and Fe, while most species (without Na⁺, Cl^?, Mg²⁺, Al, and Fe) arose mainly from anthropogenic activities. High values of as-K⁺ (anthropogenic sources potassium), as-SO₄ ^2?, and as-NO₃ ^? observed in winter and spring demonstrated the great effects of biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion in these seasons, which coincided with haze layer outburst in South Asia. Atmospheric circulation exerted significant influences on the chemical components in wet deposition. Marine air masses mainly originating from the Bay of Bengal provided a large number of sea salts to the chemical composition, while trace elements during summer monsoon seasons were greatly affected by industrial emissions from South Asia. The flux of wet deposition was 1.12 kg?N?ha^?1?year^?1 for NH₄ ⁺–N and 0.29 kg?N?ha^?1?year^?1 for NO₃ ^?–N. The total atmospheric deposition of N was estimated to be 6.41 kg?N?ha^?1?year^?1, implying potential impacts on the alpine ecosystem in this region.     

Self-sustained catalytic combustion of CO enhanced by micro fluidized bed: stability operation,fluidization state and CFD simulation

● Catalytic combustion in fluidized bed realizes efficient heat and mass transfer. ● Catalytic combustion in fluidized bed reduces the lean combustion limits. ● Catalytic combustion and flame combustion can be coupled. ● The diffusion/kinetics limited reaction model is suitable for catalytic combustion. A micro fluidized bed reactor was used to study the self-sustaining catalytic combustion of carbon monoxide (CO). The Cu_1−xCe_xO_y catalyst, as well as the pure CuO and CeO₂, are used to investigate the contributing mechanism of different active sites including dispersed CuO and Cu–Ce solid solutions. The ignition temperature (T_i) of CO over these catalysts at a flow rate of 2000 mL/min followed the order: 74 °C (Cu_0.5Ce_0.5O_y) < 75 °C (Cu_0.25Ce_0.75O_y) < 84 °C (Cu_0.75Ce_0.25O_y) < 105 °C (CuO) < 500 °C (CeO₂). Furthermore, the lean combustion limits (equivalence ratio ϕ) over these catalysts under the flow rates of 750–3000 mL/min (through fixed, bubbling, and fluidized bed) were also measured, which are Cu_0.5Ce_0.5O_y < Cu_0.25Ce_0.75O_y < Cu_0.75Ce_0.25O_y < CuO < CeO₂. The fluidized bed was simulated using the Eulerian two-fluid model (TFM) coupled with a diffusion/kinetic-limited reaction model to evaluate the influence of operation conditions on the self-sustained combustion of CO. The predicted maximum temperature agreed with the experimental measurements, demonstrating the validity of the kinetic model and simulation parameters. The results of catalytic combustion with increasing CO concentrations suggest that the catalytic combustion reaction could co-exist with the flamed combustion. When a high concentration of CO is used, a blue-purple flame caused by CO combustion appears in the upper part of the fluidized bed, indicating that the range of CO-containing exhaust gas purification could be expanded to a larger range using the fluidized-bed catalytic combustion technique.

预处理烟束曲霉死菌体与Cr的相互作用及机理

采用投加预处理烟束曲霉(Aspergillus fumisynnematus)死菌体的方法去除含铬废水中的Cr(Ⅵ).考察了不同溶液初始pH值、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度、死菌体投加量及温度条件下,CTAB预处理烟束曲霉死菌体对Cr(Ⅵ)还原速率和总Cr的平衡吸附率的影响,并根据红外光谱分析初步探讨了CTAB预处理烟束曲霉死菌体与Cr的相互作用机理.结果表明:CTAB预处理烟束曲霉死菌体对总Cr有良好的吸附效果,在30℃.150 r·min-1,pH 2.0的条件下,在100mL浓度20gg·L-1的Cr(Ⅵ)溶液中投加0.5 g CTAB预处理烟束曲霉死菌体,2h内总Cr最大吸附率达到了72%,约为原死菌体总Cr吸附率的2倍,但反应达到平衡后的总Cr吸附率下降到30%左右.吸附平衡后的解吸实验结果表明Cr(Ⅵ)几乎全部被还原为Cr(Ⅲ).在实验pH值范围内,pH值越低、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度越小、预处理死菌体投加量越大以及温度越高,越有利于Cr(Ⅵ)的还原;pH值越高、Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度越小、预处理死菌体投加量越大以及温度越低,对总Cr的平衡吸附率越大.预处理死菌体与Cr的相互作用主要是氨基和羧基与不同形态Cr的吸附作用以及菌体对Cr(Ⅵ)的还原作用.

Migration of heavy metals and migration-degradation of phenanthrene in soil using electro kinetic-laccase combined remediation system

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of heavy metal-organic compound soil pollution, in this paper, we developed a highly efficient electro kinetic-laccase combined remediation (EKLCR) system. The results showed that the EKLCR system had an obvious migration effect on heavy metals (copper and cadmium) and good migration-degradation effect on phenanthrene. The migration rates of copper and cadmium were 48.3% and 40.3%, respectively. Especially, with the presence of laccase, the removal rate of phenanthrene on Cu²⁺-contaminated soil was higher than that of Cd²⁺-contaminated soil due to the significant effect of heavy metals on the enzymatic activity of laccase. The average migration-degradation rate of phenanthrene by EKLCR system was 45.4%. Finally, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to analyze the degradation intermediates of phenanthrene in the soil, which included 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone, phthalic acid, and 2,2-Biphenyldicarboxylic Acid. In addition, we give the possible degradation pathways of phenanthrene, 2,2-Biphenyldicarboxylic Acid is further degraded to produce phthalic acid. The products of the phthalic acid metabolic pathway are protocatechuic acid, pyruvic acid or succinic acid, the final products of these organic acids are carbon dioxide and water.
