Ozonation of azo dye Acid Red 14 in a microporous tube-in-tube microchannel reactor: decolorization and mechanism

Despite the great success of time-weighted average passive sampling of hydrophobic contaminants, such as PCBs and PAHs, the sampling of polar organic compounds still presents a challenge because the equilibrium between water and most sampling phases is attained in a relatively short time. In this study, we proposed a new time-integrative sampler using in situ solvent extraction (TISIS) for polar organic chemicals. The sampler was composed of a 15 cm poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) tubing, with an internal diameter of 0.5 mm and wall thickness of 0.5 mm, through which an extraction solvent (acetonitrile) was passed. Four polar organic contaminants, caffeine, atrazine, diuron and 17α-ethynylestradiol, were chosen for the evaluation of the performance of the sampler. Without the use of in situ solvent extraction, the PDMS tubing when exposed to a constant aqueous concentration of the four model compounds was able to linearly accumulate those compounds for less than 12 h and equilibrium between the PDMS tubing and water was attained in 2 d under our laboratory conditions. However, TISIS when exposed to a constant aqueous concentration was able to linearly accumulate all the model compounds without any exposure time limitation. The measured sampling rates at three different extraction flow rates (0.2, 0.5, 1.5 mL min⁻¹) were similar, regardless of the chemicals, indicating that the overall mass transfer from aqueous solution to the extraction solvent was most likely dominated by partitioning to the PDMS tubing and the internal diffusion within PDMS. In addition, a pulsed exposure experiment confirmed that TISIS operated in a time-integrative mode when the environmental concentration was highly fluctuated.

Comparison of competitive and synergetic adsorption of three phenolic compounds on river sediment

Knowledge of toxic chemical sorption by soil/sediment is critical for environmental risk assessment of toxic chemicals, especially for the multi-sorbate system in river ecosystem. Sorption characteristics of 2, 4-Dichlorophenol, 2, 4-Dinitrophenol and 2, 4-Dimethyphenol on sediment were investigated. Adsorption isotherms in single- and multi-sorbate systems fitted well the Freundlich model. The adsorption effects were different among three selected phenolic compounds in single- and multi-sorbate systems. The synergetic affect that 2, 4-Dinitrophenol and 2, 4-Dimethyphenol bring to 2, 4-Dichlorophenol can be explained by the compression of double electronic layer and the charge neutrality. Adsorption kinetic results showed that pseudo-second-order model can be used to describe the experimental data and the adsorption affinity of phenolic compounds influenced greatly by the adsorption velocity. The present study suggests that the fate and transport of emerging pollutants such as phenolic compounds could be affected in the presence of different hydrophobic pollutants in aquatic systems.     

The changes of nitric oxide production during the growth of Microcystis aerugrinosa

This study characterized the changes of nitric oxide (NO) production during the growth of Microcystis aerugrinosa, a cyanobacterium which usually cause cyanobacterial blooms. Results showed a drastic NO release accompanying with cell density and Chl-a content sharp rises when M. aerugrinosa grew from fifth day to sixth day. Moreover, high N:P ratio accelerated the cyanobacterial growth and NO burst. Sodium nitroprusside, an exogenous NO donor, promoted M. aerugrinosa growth with the optimal concentration of 0.1 mg/L. Experiments by supplementing with sodium nitrite and l-arginine demonstrated NO production in M. aerugrinosa cells was mainly through nitrate reductase (NR) pathway while minorly through NO synthase pathway. All these data suggested M. aerugrinosa produced increasing NO during its growth mainly by NR pathway, during which NO positively regulated the growth of M. aerugrinosa.     

Isolation and characterization of an Alcaligenes sp. strain DG-5 capable of degrading DDTs under aerobic conditions

In this study, an Alcaligenes sp. strain DG-5 that can effectively degrade dichlorodiphenyltrichloro-ethanes (DDTs) under aerobic conditions was isolated from DDTs-contaminated sediment. Various factors that affect the biodegradation of DDTs by DG-5 were investigated. About 88 %, 65 % and 45 % of the total DDTs were consumed within 120 h when their initial concentrations were 0.5, 5 and 15 mg L?1, respectively. However, almost no degradation was observed when their concentration was increased to 30 mg L?1, but the addition of nutrients significantly improved the degradation, and 66 % and 90 % of the total DDTs were degraded at 336 h in the presence of 5 g L?1 peptone and yeast extract, respectively. Moreover, the addition of 20 mM formate also enhanced the ability of DG-5 to transform DDTs, and its DDT transformation capacity (T(c)) value was increased by 1.8 - 2.7 fold for the pure (p,p'-DDT or o,p'-DDT only) and mixed systems (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDE). Furthermore, it was found that competitive inhibition in the biodegradation by DDT compounds occurred in the mixed system.     

Binding of triclosan to human serum albumin: insight into the molecular toxicity of emerging contaminant

Purpose

The interaction between triclosan (TCS) and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated in order to obtain the binding mechanism, binding constant, the type of binding force, the binding distance between the donor and acceptor, and the effect of TCS on the conformation change of HSA.

Methods

A HSA solution was added to the quartz cell and then titrated by successive addition of TCS. The fluorescence quenching spectra and synchronous spectra were recorded with the excitation and emission slits of the passage of band set at 10 and 20 nm. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra of HSA were recorded before and after the addition of TCS. The capillary electrophoresis was conducted with the pressure injection mode at 0.5 psi for 5 s, separation under 25 kV, and detection at 214 nm.

Results

Fluorescence data indicated the fluorescence quenching of HSA by TCS was static quenching, and the quenching constants (K _a ) were 1.14?×?10⁵, 8.75?×?10⁴, 6.67?×?10⁴, and 5.00?×?10⁴ at 293, 298, 303, and 309 K, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (??H) and entropy change (??S) for the interaction were calculated to be ?37.9 kJ mol^?1 and 32.6 J?mol^?1 K^?1. The binding distance between TCS and tryptophan residues of HSA was obtained to be 1.81 nm according to F??rster nonradioactive energy transfer theory. The UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, the synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed the alterations of HSA secondary structure in the presence of TCS. Finally, the interaction between TCS and HSA was further confirmed by capillary electrophoresis.

Conclusions

TCS was bound to HSA to form the TCS-HSA complex, with the binding distance of 1.81 nm. Hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond were dominated in the binding. TCS could change the secondary conformation of HSA. This work provides an insight into noncovalent interaction between emerging pollutants and protein, helping to elucidate the toxic mechanism of such pollutants.
