Effects of fluoride on the removal of cadmium and phosphate by aluminum coagulation

This study focuses on the effects of p H and fluoride at different molar ratios of fluoride to Al(R F:Al) on the removal of cadmium(Cd~(2+)) and phosphate by Al coagulation. Fluoride at R F:Al≥ 3:1 inhibits the removal of Cd over wide Al dose ranges from 5 to 10 mg/L as Al. The removal of phosphate decreases significantly at high R F:Al of 10:1 whereas at lowered R F:Al(i.e., ≤ 6:1), an adverse effect is observed only at insufficient Al doses below 2 mg/L. Fluoride shows inhibitive effects towards the removal of Cd at p H 7 and 8 and that of phosphate at p H 6. Fluoride decreases the ζ-potential in both systems, and the decreasing extent is positively correlated to the elevated R F:Al. The Al fluoride interactions include the formation of Al–F complexes and the adsorption of fluoride onto Al(OH)_3 precipitates, i.e., the formation of Al(OH)n F m. Al–F complex formation inhibits Al hydrolysis and increases residual Al levels, and a more significant increase was observed at lower p H. Al–F complexes at high R F:Al complicate the coagulation behavior of Al towards both negative and positive ionic species. Moreover, fluoride at low R F:Al shows little effect on Al coagulation behavior towards Cd~(2+)and phosphate, and the spent defluoridation adsorbent,i.e., aluminum(Al) hydro(oxide) with adsorbed fluoride at R F:Al of below 0.1:1, may be reclaimed as a coagulant after being dissolved.     

氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星的水环境光化学转化:pH值及溶解性物质的影响

在模拟日光照射下,考察了氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星在纯水和天然水中的光降解行为,结果表明,氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星的光降解随p H增加(p H=4—10)先增快后减慢,两种抗生素以两性离子形态存在时光解最快.氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星在天然水中的光降解显著慢于其在相似p H条件下(p H=8)纯水中的光降解,天然水中的溶解性物质对两种抗生素的光降解总体表现为抑制作用.以Suwannee河富里酸为例,研究了溶解性有机质(DOM)的影响机制,发现淡水中高浓度的DOM主要通过竞争光吸收抑制氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星的光解,而海水中低浓度的DOM可以通过淬灭活性物种抑制两种抗生素的光解.天然水中的金属阳离子(Ca2+和Fe3+)和NO-3分别通过配位作用和光致生成·OH影响氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星的降解.由此可见,氧氟沙星和诺氟沙星在天然水中的光化学行为依赖于水体p H值和溶解性物质的综合影响.     

镉致背角无齿蚌消化腺组织损伤及调节消化腺和斧足的抗氧化酶活性

采用酶学和组织学方法,研究了镉(Cd)对背角无齿蚌(Anodonta woodiana)消化腺和斧足组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和组织形态结构的影响.Cd浓度设置为4.22、8.43、16.86、33.72和67.45 mg·L-1,处理时间为24 h、48 h、72 h和96 h.结果显示,与对照组相比,同一时间随着Cd浓度的增加,消化腺中SOD和CAT活性,在24 h呈现升高的趋势;96 h消化腺中SOD活性逐渐升高,差异极显著(p0.01);48 h和72 h呈现先升后降的趋势.斧足中SOD和CAT在72 h和96 h时活性升高明显,差异显著或极显著(p0.01,p0.05).Cd浓度67.45 mg·L-1处理24 h,消化腺组织细胞结构变化不明显;在48 h以后,消化管间结缔组织松散,腺体结构损伤严重,上皮细胞形态结构异常,细胞界限模糊,甚至消失;细胞膜肿胀、变形;有的细胞核碎裂、明显肿胀甚至消失,上皮细胞部分与基膜分离、脱落;斧足组织未出现显著变化和损伤.研究表明,消化腺在酶活性和组织结构上对镉的反应较快且更具规律性,而且具有明显的时间和剂量效应关系.但是,斧足对镉的胁迫反应与消化腺相比较为迟缓,说明组织之间对重金属的敏感性具有差异性.

Kinetics of the reactions of soot surface-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with the OH radicals

The kinetics of the heterogeneous reaction of OH radicals with 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in laboratory generated simulated kerosene combustion soot was studied at T = 290 K in a low pressure discharge-flow reactor combined with an electron-impact mass spectrometer. The kinetics of soot-bound PAH consumption in reaction with OH were monitored using off-line HPLC measurements of their concentrations in soot samples as a function of time of exposure to OH. Concentration of OH radicals in the gas phase was measured by mass spectrometry. The first-order rate constants measured for the individual PAH at T = 290 K ranged from 0.02 to 0.04 s^?1 and were found to be independent of the OH concentration ([OH] = (0.34–2.5) × 10¹² molecule cm^?3) and of the molecular structure of the PAH. In addition, the uptake coefficient of OH on soot surface and the diffusion coefficient of OH in He were measured to be 0.19 ± 0.03 (calculated with geometric surface area) and (615 ± 80) Torr cm² s^?1, respectively. Comparison of the results on the PAH + OH reaction to those from previous studies carried out on different carbonaceous substrates, indicates probable dependence of the heterogeneous reactivity of PAH toward OH on the substrate nature. Rapid reaction with OH can be an important potential pathway of the atmospheric degradation of non-volatile PAH present mainly in the particulate phase in the atmosphere.     

Fast determination of sulfonamides and their acetylated metabolites from environmental water based on magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers

Group-selective magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) that can extract four widely used sulfonamide antibiotics and their acetylated metabolites from environmental water were synthesized in this study. The MMIPs with saturation magnetization value of 16.7 emu g^-1 could be separated from the environmental water samples easily by the application of an adscititious magnetic field, reducing the time consumption of pretreatment. The extraction conditions were evaluated, and optimal extraction conditions were as follows: extraction time, 25 min; amount of polymers, 90 mg; washing solvent, 30 % methanol aqueous solution; and elution solvent, methanol–acetic acid (95:5, v/v). The target analytes were detected by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, and the detection limits of the method are in the range of 0.38–1.32 ng L^-1. The relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day are in the range of 1.3–6.8 % and 1.7–9.1 %, respectively. The proposed method is suitable for the analysis of environmental water samples.     

Synthesis of Polyurethane and Characterization of its Composites Based on Alfa Cellulose Fibers

Polyurethane (PU) based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and 4,4′ diphenyl methylene diisocyanate (MDI) was synthesized using a two-step method. The PU obtained was then blended with various amounts of cellulose extracted from alfa stems to prepare composite materials. The influence of cellulose on the thermal and mechanical properties of different composites was demonstrated by means of several characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)…     

NiO/AC催化臭氧氧化去除水中的苯酚

采用低温湿式浸渍法制备了负载氧化镍/活性炭(简称NiO/AC)催化剂。在不同pH、叔丁醇浓度等条件下,对NiO/AC与臭氧联合催化臭氧氧化苯酚的降解效果等进行了研究。用XRD、SEM及BET技术分析了活性炭与催化剂的组成、形貌及结构变化。结果表明,镍以棒状氧化镍的形式负载在活性炭表面,与AC相比,NiO/AC比表面积减少了47.9%。在O3/NiO/AC与苯酚的反应体系中,反应遵循羟基自由基(HO.)机理,苯酚的去除率比单独臭氧氧化提高了29%,且与溶液pH呈正相关。NiO/AC催化性能较稳定,镍离子最大析出浓度仅为7 mg/L,可重复使用。     

沸腾炉大气污染物的生成与排放特征分析

以20台沸腾炉(功率小于等于60 MW)的燃料特性分析数据和大气污染物的排放实测数据为基础,利用统计分析方法,研究了燃烧过程中排放的颗粒物(PM)、SO_2和NO_x初始排放浓度的影响因素,分析了沸腾炉PM、SO_2和NO_x排放现状,探讨了我国中小型沸腾炉PM、SO_2和NO_x排放管理控制的潜力和可行性.实验结果表明:在锅炉运行负荷大于等于80%的条件下,中小型沸腾炉PM的初始排放浓度基本上不受锅炉出力、过量空气系数和燃煤灰分含量的影响;燃煤的硫含量越高,SO_2初始排放浓度越高;过量空气系数越大,燃煤挥发分越低,NO_x初始排放浓度越高.     

Use of ammoniacal nitrogen tolerant microalgae in landfill leachate treatment

Two microalgae, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Chlamydomonas snowiae, were isolated from a high ammonia leachate pond in Li Keng Landfill, Guangzhou, China. Their growth and nutrient removal rates were determined in a serial dilution of landfill leachate under laboratory conditions, and their growth rates were compared with that of a C. pyrenoidosa strain isolated from a clean river. The results indicated the growth of all three algae was inhibited by high leachate concentrations, and the inhibition appears linked to high ammonia (ammoniacal-N670mgL(-1)). Significant amounts of ammoniacal-N, ortho-P and COD in the leachate were removed by the algae, with a positive correlation between algal growth and nutrient consumption. Not enough data are available to conclude that one strain was less inhibited by ammoniacal nitrogen or more effective at treating it. Phytotoxicity of leachate was reduced after algal growth, as demonstrated by a seed germination experiment with Brassica chinensis. The germination rates in 10%, 30% and 50% concentrations of algal-treated leachate were significantly higher than those in the same concentration but algal-free leachate.
