Nitrogen Dioxide Absorption and Sulfide Oxidation in Aqueous Sulfide

ABSTRACT

Rates of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) absorption and sulfide oxidation were measured in a highly characterized stirred cell contactor at 55 °C, with O₂ present in the gas phase. The rate constant of the reaction between NO₂ and sul-fide at 55 °C was determined to be 26.4 x10⁵ M^-1sec^-1. A reaction mechanism was proposed that is consistent with the kinetic data. NO₂ absorption initiates sulfide oxidation in the presence of oxygen. The rate of sulfide oxidation increased with sulfide and oxygen concentration and with the rate of NO₂ absorption. Furthermore, thiosulfate was an effective inhibitor of sulfide oxidation.     

Aquatic plant debris improve phosphorus sorption into sediment under anoxic condition

The effects of plant debris on phosphorus sorption by anoxic sediment were investigated. Addition of plant debris significantly enhanced the decrease of soluble relative phosphorus (SRP) in overlying water at both 10 and 30 °C during the 30-day investigation. Both cellulose and glucose, two typical plant components, also clearly enhanced the SRP decrease in anoxic overlying water. The measurement of phosphorus (P) fractions in sediment revealed that the levels of unstable P forms were decreased by plant debris addition, whereas the opposites were true for stable P forms. However, under sterilized condition, plant debris/glucose addition has no effect on the SRP decrease in overlying water. Overall, our results suggested that plant debris improve P sorption into sediment under anoxic condition through a microorganism-mediated mechanism.

为了得到一株具有降解微囊藻毒素一RR（MC—RR）特性的产芽孢菌株,采用加热富集芽孢菌的方法,从太湖分离到一株MC．RR降解菌CMl,该菌对MC—RR具有强烈的降解特性。通过形态学特征、生理生化特征及16SrDNA序列分析鉴定该菌株属于耐硼赖氨酸芽孢杆菌（Lysinibacillusb oronitolerans）。通过研究温度和pH值对菌株CMl降解MC—RR能力的影响,发现菌株CMl在60h将MC—RR由12．77μg／mL降解到1．67μg／mL,降解率达86．90％,最适降解温度为37℃,最适pH值为7．0。CMl菌株的胞外物质和胞内物质均能降解MC—RR,但胞内物质具有更强烈的降解特性,12h可以将7．27μg／mL的MC-RR完全降解。为丰富MC-RR降解菌纯菌种研究以及在去除水体中MC—RR应用研究方面提供了理论基础。     

鸟粪石循环利用处理高氨氮废水的热解行为

为了循环利用鸟粪石处理高氨氮废水,探讨了鸟粪石煅烧与加碱热解的脱氮率,利用电镜扫描(SEM)和X射线衍射(XRD)对2种热解产物进行了分析。鸟粪石煅烧条件为:温度100～225℃,时间1～5 h;加碱热解条件为:温度60～95℃,时间0.5～4 h,加碱量OH-∶NH4+摩尔比值0.4～1.5。结果表明,虽然XRD分析显示2种热解产物都已失去鸟粪石的特征峰,但是鸟粪石加碱热解效果更好,最佳热解条件为:加碱量OH-∶NH4+摩尔比值1,温度90℃,时间2 h,鸟粪石脱氮率95%以上;加碱热解产物表面为多孔状,完全失去了晶体结构;煅烧热解鸟粪石脱氮率仅为80%左右,热解产物晶体结构破坏不完全。鸟粪石在最佳条件下热解循环处理高氨氮废水,可循环使用6次,氨氮去除率80%以上,出水磷浓度小于8 mg/L。     

CS-Fe和CS-Fe/Ni的制备及其用于去除钴离子

以氯化铁为铁源,硼氢化钠为还原剂,壳聚糖为稳定剂,采用液相还原法制备壳聚糖稳定纳米铁（CS-Fe）;并以氯化铁为铁源,硫酸镍为镍源,硼氢化钠为还原剂,壳聚糖为稳定剂,采用液相还原共沉淀法制备壳聚糖稳定纳米铁镍（CS-Fe/Ni）。通过SEM、EDS、XRD、FT-IR等表征手段,对所制备的CS-Fe和CS-Fe/Ni的形貌及微观结构进行表征,并以Co²⁺为目标去除物评价CS-Fe和CS-Fe/Ni的反应活性。初步研究表明,制成的CS-Fe含有单质纳米铁,颗粒多数以30~90 nm球形颗粒为主;而CS-Fe/Ni材料中含有纳米铁镍,颗粒多数以30~60 nm球形颗粒为主;在相同的实验条件下,反应60 min,CS-Fe/Ni对Co²⁺的去除率高达100%,但是CS-Fe仅为88%,即CS-Fe/Ni对Co²⁺的去除率比CS-Fe高。

A comparative study of metal pollution and potential eco-risk in the sediment of Chaohu Lake (China) based on total concentration and chemical speciation

Total and extractable concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn were determined in surface sediments of west Chaohu Lake (China) by HCl-HNO₃-HF-HClO₄ digestion and an optimized BCR sequential extraction procedure, respectively. The metal pollution was evaluated by the enrichment factor approach, and the potential eco-risk was evaluated by the sediment quality guideline (SQG) and risk assessment code (RAC) assessments. The results indicated that both total and extractable metal concentrations were highly variable and were affected by sediment properties, even though the sediments were predominantly composed of <63-μm particles (>89 %). Enrichment factors of the metals based on the total and extractable concentrations all showed higher values in the northern lake area and decreasing values towards the south. This distribution indicated an input of anthropogenic metals via the Nanfei River. Anthropogenic Cu, Pb, and Zn in surface sediments showed comparable values for each metal based on the total and extractable concentrations, suggesting that anthropogenic Cu, Pb, and Zn resided predominantly in the extractable fractions. Sediment Cu had low eco-risk, and Pb and Zn had medium eco-risk by the SQG assessment, whereas the eco-risk rankings of Cu, Pb, and Zn were medium, low, and low–high, respectively, by the RAC assessment. Referencing to the labile (dilute acid soluble) metal concentrations, we deduced that the eco-risk of Cu may be largely overestimated by the RAC assessment, and the eco-risk of Pb may be largely overestimated by the SQG assessment. Overall, sediments Cu and Pb may pose low eco-risk, and Zn may pose low–high eco-risk.

Bioaccumulation, depuration and biotransformation of 4,4'-dibromodiphenyl ether in crucian carp (Carassius auratus)

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are extensively used as a class of flame retardants and have become ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Significant biotransformation of some PBDEs via reductive debromination has been observed. However, little is known about the fate of lower brominated BDEs in fish. In this study, the tissue distribution, excretion, depuration and biotransformation of 4,4′-dibromodiphenyl ether (BDE 15) were investigated in crucian carp (Carassius auratus) which were exposed to spiked water solution at different concentrations for 50 d, followed by a 14-d depuration period. Bioaccumulation parameters were calculated and the results showed that BDE 15 was mainly concentrated in the gill and liver. In particular, five biotransformation products of BDE 15 in carp were identified using GC-MS/MS. Besides two debrominated metabolites, three of the metabolites were mono-OH-BDE 15, diOH-BDE 15 and bromophenol. Our results unequivocally suggested that BDE 15 oxidation did occur via the formation of hydroxylated (OH-) metabolites in crucian carp exposed in vivo. These findings will be useful for determination of the metabolic pathways of PBDEs in freshwater fish, especially about their oxidation metabolism.
