沙尘暴中的能量反馈

沙尘暴是一种风沙灾害天气.在沙尘暴发生后,尘暴中浓密的沙尘对系统的涡旋能量有调节作用,从而导致沙尘暴具有区别于风暴的行为模式.从沙尘暴的微观结构及涡旋能量入手,分析了尘暴中沙尘有效辐射效应形成的条件,认为沙尘暴在沙尘颗粒参与下,沙尘有效辐射效应对锋面前后涡旋能量的调整是重要的能量反馈机制,认为辐射效应有着时间与区域的不同,从而导致沙尘暴在白天发展、持续,在夜间消亡,其发生频率随纬度升高显现日期延后的现象.分析认为,沙尘暴中类似于风暴体的结构是沙尘暴的核心所在,其中存在的能量反馈机理有规律性,利用这种机制可帮助调控沙尘暴,指导制定减灾政策.     

Preparation of a new Fenton-like catalyst from red mud using molasses wastewater as partial acidifying agent

Using molasses wastewater as partial acidifying agent, a new Fenton-like catalyst (ACRM _sm ) was prepared through a simple process of acidification and calcination using red mud as main material. With molasses wastewater, both the free alkali and the chemically bonded alkali in red mud were effectively removed under the action of H₂SO₄ and molasses wastewater, and the prepared ACRM _sm was a near-neutral catalyst. The ACRM _sm preparation conditions were as follows: for 3 g of red mud, 9 mL of 0.7 mol/L H₂SO₄ plus 2 g of molasses wastewater as the acidifying agent, calcination temperature 573 K, and calcination time 1 h. Iron phase of ACRM _sm was mainly α-Fe₂O₃ and trace amount of carbon existed in ACRM _sm . The addition of molasses wastewater not only effectively reduced the consumption of H₂SO₄ in acidification of red mud but also resulted in the generation of carbon and significantly improved the distribution of macropore in prepared ACRM _sm . It was found that near-neutral pH of catalyst, generated carbon, and wide distribution of macropore were the main reasons for the high catalytic activity of ACRM _sm . The generated carbon and wide distribution of macropore were entirely due to the molasses wastewater added. In degradation of orange II, ACRM _sm retained most of its catalytic stability and activity after five recycling times, indicating ACRM _sm had an excellent long-term stability in the Fenton-like process. Furthermore, the performance test of settling showed ACRM _sm had an excellent settleability. ACRM_sm was a safe and green catalytic material used in Fenton-like oxidation for wastewater treatment.

三种环境动力学模型建模方式的比较

在农药和化学品的风险评估工作中,环境动力学模型正得到越来越多的应用。采用Stella软件、Matlab M文件和Matlab Simulink 组件3种建模方式分别构建了微宇宙、湖泊和海湾系统的多介质环境动力学模型,并对3种方式的建模难度、计算耗时及模型直观性进行了比较。研究结果表明：Stella模型最直观,但提供的计算方法有限,更适用于微分方程数量不多且计算周期短的模型;M文件模型建模速度最快,但在直观性和计算速度上没有优势,不建议在环境动力学模型中使用;Simulink模型兼具直观性和计算速度快的优点,无论微分方程数量多少,在需要进行长周期计算的模型中都最具优势。

New insights for the risk of bisphenol A: Inhibition of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)

Bisphenol A (BPA), the important endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), has been reported to be able to induce various toxicity. The present study aims to understand the toxicity behavior of bisphenol A through evaluating the inhibition profile of bisphenol A towards UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms. In vitro recombinant UGTs-catalyzed 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) glucuronidation reaction was employed as probe reaction for all the tested UGT isoforms. The results showed that bisphenol A exerted stronger inhibition towards UGT2B isoforms than UGT1A isoforms. Furthermore, the inhibition kinetic type and parameters (K_i) were determined for the inhibition of bisphenol A towards UGT2B4, 2B7, 2B15, and 2B17. Bisphenol A exhibited the competitive inhibition towards UGT2B4, and noncompetitive inhibition towards UGT2B7, 2B15 and 2B17. The inhibition kinetic parameters (K_i) were calculated to be 1.1, 32.6, 5.6, and 19.9 μM for UGT2B4, 2B7, 2B15 and 2B17, respectively. In combination with the in vivo concentration of bisphenol A, the elevation of exposure dose was predicted to increase by 29.1%, 1%, 5.7%, and 1.6% for UGT2B4, 2B7, 2B15, and 2B17, indicating the high influence of bisphenol A towards the in vivo UGT2B isofroms-mediated metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous substances. All these data provide the supporting information for deeper understanding of toxicology of bisphenol A.

Electrocatalytic biofilm reactor for effective and energy-efficient azo dye degradation: the synergistic effect of MnOx/Ti flow-through anode and biofilm on the cathode

● MnO _x /Ti flow-through anode was coupled with the biofilm-attached cathode in ECBR. ● ECBR was able to enhance the azo dye removal and reduce the energy consumption. ● Mn^IV=O generated on the electrified MnO _x /Ti anode catalyzed the azo dye oxidation. ● Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria on the cathode degraded azo dye intermediate products. ● Biodegradation of intermediate products was stimulated under the electric field. Dyeing wastewater treatment remains a challenge. Although effective, the in-series process using electrochemical oxidation as the pre- or post-treatment of biodegradation is long. This study proposes a compact dual-chamber electrocatalytic biofilm reactor (ECBR) to complete azo dye decolorization and mineralization in a single unit via anodic oxidation on a MnO_x/Ti flow-through anode followed by cathodic biodegradation on carbon felts. Compared with the electrocatalytic reactor with a stainless-steel cathode (ECR-SS) and the biofilm reactor (BR), the ECBR increased the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency by 24 % and 31 % (600 mg/L Acid Orange 7 as the feed, current of 6 mA), respectively. The COD removal efficiency of the ECBR was even higher than the sum of those of ECR-SS and BR. The ECBR also reduced the energy consumption (3.07 kWh/kg COD) by approximately half compared with ECR-SS. The advantages of the ECBR in azo dye removal were attributed to the synergistic effect of the MnO_x/Ti flow-through anode and cathodic biofilms. Catalyzed by Mn^IV=O generated on the MnO_x/Ti anode under a low applied current, azo dyes were oxidized and decolored. The intermediate products with improved biodegradability were further mineralized by the cathodic aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (non-electrochemically active) under the stimulation of the applied current. Taking advantage of the mutual interactions among the electricity, anode, and bacteria, this study provides a novel and compact process for the effective and energy-efficient treatment of azo dye wastewater.     

Heavy metal contamination of urban soils and dusts in Guangzhou, South China

The heavy metal concentrations of soil and dust samples from roadside, residential areas, parks, campus sport grounds, and commercial sites were studied in Guangzhou, South China. Heavy metals in samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrophotometer following acidic digestion with HClO₄ + HF + HNO₃. High concentrations, especially of Cd, Pb, and Zn, were found with mean concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the urban dusts being 4.22?±?1.21, 62.2?±?27.1, 116?±?30, 31.9?±?12.6, 72.6?±?17.9, and 504?±?191 mg/kg dry weight, respectively. The respective levels in urban soils (0.23?±?0.19, 22.4?±?13.8, 41.6?±?29.4, 11.1?±?5.3, 65.4?±?40.2, and 277?±?214 mg/kg dry weight, respectively), were significantly lower. The integrated pollution index of six metals varied from 0.25 to 3.4 and from 2.5 to 8.4 in urban soils and dusts, respectively, with 61 % of urban soil samples being classified as moderately to highly polluted and all dust samples being classified as highly polluted. The statistical analysis results for the urban dust showed good agreement between principal component analysis and cluster analysis, but distinctly different elemental associations and clustering patterns were observed among heavy metals in the urban soils. The results of multivariate statistic analysis indicated that Cr and Ni concentrations were mainly of natural origin, while Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were derived from anthropogenic activities.
