Resource utilization of typical biomass wastes as biochars in removing plasticizer diethyl phthalate from water: characterization and adsorption mechanisms

● Six largely produced agricultural biomass wastes were pyrolyzed into biochars. ● Feedstock type significantly determined physiochemical properties of biochars. ● The biochars showed powerful adsorption capabilities to Plasticizer DEP. ● Giant reed biochar with higher DEP adsorption was a prominent sorbent. Plastic pollution as a global environmental issue has become a research hotspot, among which the removal of inherent plasticizer (e.g., phthalic acid esters, PAEs) received increasing attention. However, the effects of biochars derived from different feedstocks on the adsorption of PAEs are poorly understood. Thus, the characteristics of biochars derived from six largely produced biomass wastes in China at 400 °C, as well as their performance in adsorption of diethyl phthalate (DEP), one of frequently detected PAEs in aqueous environment, were investigated. The results indicated that the variation in feedstock type showed significant changes in the properties (e.g., porosity, specific surface area, surface functional groups) of biochars, which affected DEP adsorption and desorption. Pseudo-second order and Freundlich models fitted the adsorption data well, and adsorption mechanisms mainly included hydrophobic effect, followed by micropore filling, hydrogen bonding, and π-π EDA interactions. Adsorption thermodynamics revealed that the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic the adsorption capacities of DEP on these biochars slightly decreased with the increasing pH but increased with the increasing ionic strength. Among these biochars, the giant reed biochar with relatively higher DEP adsorption and low desorption exhibited the great efficiency for DEP removal as an environment-friendly sorbent. These results highlighted the significant roles of micropore filling and hydrogen bond in determining adsorption capacity of designed biochars prepared from selecting suitable agricultural straws and wetland plant waste to typical plasticizer. The findings are useful for producing designed biochars from different biomass wastes for plasticizer pollution control.     

北京西北城区与清洁对照点夏季大气PM10的微观特征及粒度分布

应用高分辨率场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)和图像分析技术研究了北京西北城区和清洁对照点非取暖期(2001年夏季)大气单个颗粒物的形貌特征以及PM₁₀和PM_2.5的数量-粒度和体积-粒度分布.研究表明,烟尘集合体在2个采样点都普遍存在,具有区域性污染的特征;不规则状矿物颗粒物多见于市区PM₁₀样品中,而长条状石膏颗粒多出现在清洁对照点颗粒物样品中;在清洁对照点还观察到了生物质颗粒.PM₁₀的数量-粒度分布呈双峰分布,主峰为0.2～0.5μm,次峰为在1～2.5μm但PM₁₀的体积-粒度分布呈单峰分布,在1～2.5μm粒度范围内.综合分析得出,虽然粗颗粒,主要是矿物颗粒,在数量上对PM₁₀贡献很小,但是对总体积,因此对总质量的贡献可能很大但在PM_2.5中,烟尘集合体在数量和体积上均占优势.

离子选择性微电极用于外界胁迫下细胞液中钙分布检测的新模式

离子选择性微电极(ISME)是一种电化学传感器。在单细胞检测中可用来测定细胞内各种离子的浓度和胞外空间的离子流。本文提出了一种离子选择性微电极用于单细胞检测的新方法,即用离子选择性微电极测量植物细胞原生质体破裂时形成的离子浓度脉冲信号,进而分析细胞液中离子浓度的分布。并用此方法研究了在低温、纳米氧化铜(CuO NPs)、重金属(铽、镉)和乙醇等不同因素作用下,芦荟(Aloe vera)细胞原生质体的细胞液中Ca~(2+)的浓度分布。实验结果表明,在冷冻、CuO NPs、硝酸铽和氯化镉处理后细胞液中的Ca~(2+)浓度分布发生分层现象,而乙醇处理则不会出现这种现象。这种方法具有抗干扰能力强和操作简便的优点,为更全面地揭示细胞对外界刺激的响应特征提供了新的视角,也可为各种环境和生态毒理学评价提供新的途径。     

Ecological Survey of Coastal I Water Adjacent to Nuclear Power I Plants in Taiwan

A total of six nuclear reactors installed in three power plants, two along the northern and one along the southern coasts of Taiwan, started their operations one after another since October 1977. Owing to the large quantities of cooling water intake into and discharge from the plants, some environmental factors such as water temperature, chlorine, environmental radioactivity and nearshore currents may be significantly changed. Variations of these abiotic environmental factors may influence the biological activities in the ecosystem, particularly doing some kinds of damage to marine biological resources. Therefore, the possible environmental impact upon the biological systems including the fishery resources along the northern and southern coasts of Taiwan should be studied before and during the plant operation.

We have started the long-term programmes of biological, chemical and hydro-graphical surveys of the nuclear power plant sites on both northern (since July 1974) and southern (since July 1979) coasts of Taiwan. the survey items include ocean currents, physical and chemical properties of sea water, primary productivity, specific compositions and interspecific relationships among phyto- and zooplankton, algae, invertebrates, corals, and fishes; and radionuclides in water and biological specimens, and fishery statistics. in general, except for a few events, the operations of the six units of nuclear power plants have not produced detectable effects on the marine ecosystem. Radio activity levels and radionuclides in water and the biological specimens remained the same as background levels throughout the survey period. However, the events of coral bleaching and fish body anomalies caused by thermal discharges were observed respectively along the outlets of third and second Nuclear Power Plants. the purposes of this paper are to report and evaluate these two events during the operations of nuclear power plants in Taiwan.     

Runoff water management technologies for dryland agriculture on the Loess

SUMMARY

Arid and semi-arid environments undergo periodic seasonal agricultural droughts of varying extents and duration, erratic and ineffective rainfall of high intensity and short duration, with high surface runoff. High efficiency water-harvesting agriculture has been routinely used in the Loess Plateau agricultural production of China over the past 10 years. Localized habitat effect and regional water resource enrichment are the theoretical basis of high efficient water-harvesting agriculture. Features of this agricultural system are described, including: water harvesting of surface runoff from roads and collection in concrete yards on plastic sheets; water storage cellar tanks for harvesting runoff to provide life-saving/critical irrigation, with devices for water lifting and conveying such as hand pumps and pipelines; feasible methods of water use for limited supplies such as drip, hole, subsoil, and super-sheet irrigation; agronomic measures of high water use efficiency; and field micro-catchment for water harvesting and conservation to increase fallow efficiency in rainy seasons. Using the stored runoff water to irrigate the mulched winter wheat and spring corn, as well as vegetables and fruit trees, significant yield increasing and water use efficiency improvements have been achieved. Plastic mulching for increasing fallow efficiency in rainy seasons and improving yield of the next winter wheat crop have been developed and demonstrated. These techniques have provided obvious benefits in terms of soil and water conservation on slope farmland in the hill regions and remarkable effects of storing water and reducing drought in the dryland farming regions have been obtained.
