微波辅助Cu(Ⅱ)-Fenton体系催化氧化处理对硝基苯酚废水

为了拓宽Fenton反应pH范围,提高降解效率、减少药剂用量,向Fenton体系中添加辅助催化剂Cu(Ⅱ),并对微波辅助催化氧化对硝基苯酚(PNP)模拟废水工艺进行了研究。提出微波辐照-放置处理工艺,并与普通全过程微波处理工艺进行了比较。结果表明,该体系处理工艺将Fenton反应最佳pH范围由2.0~3.5拓宽到2.0~5.5;在pH=5.0时,对于100 mg/L的PNP溶液,当[Cu2+]=0.8 mg/L、[Fe2+]=3.0 mg/L、[H2O2]=0.2 g/L,微波功率250 W,辐照2.0 min、放置4.0 min,PNP去除率可达98%以上;辅助催化剂Cu2+的加入增强了氧化效果,同时节约药品20%以上。通过对比实验发现,Cu2+与Fe2+发生了某种作用机制,联合促进了体系中·OH的生成。该反应体系不仅将传统Fenton反应体系狭窄的pH值范围延伸到接近中性的区域5.0~5.5,又可在短时间内使PNP去除率达到98%以上。     

烟气成分对负载V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2聚苯硫醚纤维脱除烟气中Hg~0的影响

通过固定床实验系统模拟烟气脱除Hg0的实验,研究了O2、HCl、NO、SO2、H2O和NH3对滤袋常用的聚苯硫醚(PPS)纤维负载V2O5-WO3/TiO2新型催化剂后脱除烟气中Hg0的影响,并分析其影响机理。结果表明,在温度为200℃、高纯N2气氛下,Hg0的脱除率很低,加入4%O2后,脱除率有所增加;0.05‰HCl条件下Hg0的脱除率仅为5%,而0.01‰HCl与4%O2并存的条件下,脱除率明显提高;NO对Hg0的催化氧化促进作用不是很显著;SO2对Hg0氧化具有毒害作用;H2O和NH3可抑制Hg0的脱除,O2的存在可抵消NH3的部分抑制作用。     

EDTA对氨基磷酸树脂去除水中Cu(Ⅱ)性能的影响

乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)是一种强络合剂,在化学镀铜工艺中广泛使用,并导致镀铜废水中含有一定量的EDTA。氨基磷酸树脂(APAR)吸附法被广泛应用于含铜工业废水治理。为优化该方法,研究不同EDTA/Cu(摩尔比)、pH、钠离子、钙离子浓度下EDTA对APAR去除铜离子性能的影响。溶液中EDTA浓度增加导致APAR去除Cu(Ⅱ)能力下降;pH=5时,EDTA对APAR除Cu(Ⅱ)性能的影响较小;EDTA对树脂除铜性能的削弱不受溶液中离子强度变化或Ca2+存在的影响。红外光谱分析表明,有一部分EDTA-Cu络合物被吸附到树脂内部。     

流态对活性污泥硝化性能及菌群结构的影响

生化反应器流态会影响基质分布,从而影响反应器内微生物的性能与菌群结构。在相同氮负荷下运行SBR和CSTR以对比分析2种典型流态(推流式和完全混合式)对活性污泥中硝化菌性能及其菌群结构的影响。结果表明,SBR中,氨氧化速率(AUR)和亚硝酸盐氧化速率(NUR)分别为(16.55±2.05)mg N/(L·g VSS·h)和(15.33±2.02)mg N/(L·g VSS·h),CSTR中AUR和NUR分别为(10.13±0.73)mg N/(L·g VSS·h)和(9.34±2.56)mg N/(L·g VSS·h);SBR中,氨氧化菌(AOB)和亚硝酸盐氧化菌(NOB)含量分别为(3.4±0.3)%和(5.4±1.2)%,优势菌分别为Nitrosomonas europaea-Nitrosococcus mobilis lineage和Nitrobacter,CSTR中,AOB和NOB含量分别(3.1±0.4)%和(6.8±1.1)%,优势菌分别为Nitrosospira和Nitrospira。虽然2个流态下的硝化菌含量接近,但推流式的硝化速率比完全混合式高64%,这是因为推流式更有利于反应速率较快的r-strategist(Nitrosomonas europaea-Nitrosococcus mobilis lineage和Nitrobacter)生存,而完全混合式则更利于反应速率较慢K-strategist(Nitrosospira和Nitrospira)生存。

筛选高效石油降解菌并考察菌株的石油降解能力,通过植物-微生物联合修复石油污染土壤室内实验,在修复过程中测定了土壤中细菌和固氮菌,碱解氮、速效磷和速效钾的含量变化,同时采用傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(ESI FT-ICR MS)考察了植物-微生物联合修复效果。结果表明,菌株3#、4#的生长适应性较强,其混合菌的降解效果最好,将其混合菌液与植物进行植物-微生物联合修复不同浓度的石油污染土壤,经过150 d的温室降解,最高降解率达到73.47%。ESI FT-ICR MS分析结果表明,与空白组相比,植物组的O1、O2和N1类等化合物相对丰度都发生了显著变化,石油污染物得到一定程度的生物降解。     

Adsorption enhancement of laterally interacting phenol/aniline mixtures onto nonpolar adsorbents

Adsorption equilibria of phenol and aniline onto nonpolar macroreticular adsorbents were investigated in single and binary-solute aqueous systems at 293 K and 313 K. All adsorption isotherms can be well represented by the Langmuir equation. Larger uptake of aniline than phenol onto all the adsorbents probably results from the higher hydrophobicity of the former compound as well as the greater electronic density of the aromatic ring of aniline. It is interestingly observed that at a relatively high loading, the total uptake of phenol and aniline in a binary system is remarkably higher than those in a single system. Such uptake difference was elucidated by the cooperative effect arising from the lateral acid–base interaction between the loaded phenol and aniline molecules. Moreover, larger average pore size of the adsorbent is found to result in a greater cooperative coefficient, as observed from the equimolar phenol/aniline adsorption system.     

PCBs, PCNs and PBDEs in sediments and mussels from Qingdao coastal sea in the frame of current circulations and influence of sewage sludge

Influence of current circulation and sewage sludge on spatial distributions of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in sediments and mussels from the Qingdao coastal sea were investigated. Total concentrations of PCBs, PCNs and PBDEs in sediments ranged 6.5-32.9, 0.2-1.2, and 0.1-5.5 ngg(-1) dry wt, respectively. The maximum concentrations were all found near the Haibo River mouth, affected by sewage sludge input from the river. Under the current system in Jiaozhou Bay the organic pollutants were subject to deposit on the east side of the bay and trapped inside the bay. Sewage sludge was an important source of PCBs, PCNs and PBDEs in the bay and exponentially magnified the enrichment of PCBs. On the other hand, the congener profiles of PCBs in sediments outside the bay may signify an atmospheric source of PCBs. Total Concentrations of PCBs, PCNs and PBDEs in mussels were 61.4-88.6, 9.0, and 13.8 ngg(-1)lipid, respectively. Mussels enriched significantly PCBs, PCNs and PBDEs relative to the sediments. The total toxicity equivalent quantities (TEQs) of PCNs in mussels were generally lower than that of PCBs. The fluxes of the total PCBs and their TEQs have been decreased steadily since 1950s. The lower chlorinated/brominated congeners of PCNs and PBDEs may exhibit a greater tendency due to less lipophilic and thus a greater probability of being affected by the current circulation in the bay.     

Effect of physical forms of soil organic matter on phenanthrene sorption

The sorption coefficient, K(OC), of phenanthrene (PHE) has been reported to vary with different types of organic matter, leading to uncertainties in predicting the environmental behavior of PHE. Among the studies that relate organic matter properties to their sorption characteristics, physical conformation of organic matter is often neglected. In this work, organic matter samples of different physical forms were examined for their sorption characteristics. Dissolved humic acids (DHA) showed significantly higher K(OC) than the corresponding solid humic acids (SHA) from which the DHAs were made. The K(OC) of DHAs was found to be related to polarity, whereas K(OC) of SHAs increased with aliphatic carbon content. Soil particles were treated with H(2)O(2) to remove organic matter, and humic acid was coated on H(2)O(2)-treated soil particles to make organo-mineral complexes at pH 4, 7 and 10. Although the nonlinear sorption was apparent for SHAs and H(2)O(2)-treated soil particles, the organo-mineral complexes formed using these two components at pH 4, 7 and 10 exhibited relatively linear sorption at organic carbon content, f(OC)>0.5%. These results indicate that organic matter of the same composition may have different sorption properties due to different physical forms (or conformations). Nonlinear sorption for the complexes formed at pH 4 with lower f(OC) (<0.5%) was also discussed.     

Partitioning and source diagnostics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in rivers in Tianjin, China

Water, suspended particulate matter (SPM), and sediment samples were collected from ten rivers in Tianjin and analyzed for 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), particulate organic carbon (POC) in SPM and total organic carbon (TOC) in sediment. The behavior and fate of PAHs influenced by these parameters were examined. Generally, organic carbon was the primary factor controlling the behavior of the 16 PAH species. Partitioning of PAHs between SPM and water phase was studied, and K(OC) for some PAH species were found to be significantly higher than the predicted values. The source of PAHs contamination was diagnosed by using PAH isomer ratios. Coal combustion was identified to be a long-term and prevailing contamination source for sediment, while sewage/wastewater source could reasonably explain a short-term PAHs contamination of SPM.     

Impacts of climatic and atmospheric changes on carbon dynamics in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

We used the Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model (DLEM) to estimate carbon (C) storage and to analyze the impacts of environmental changes on C dynamics from 1971 to 2001 in Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GRSM). Our simulation results indicate that forests in GRSM have a C density as high as 15.9kgm(-2), about twice the regional average. Total carbon storage in GRSM in 2001 was 62.2Tg (T=10(12)), 54% of which was in vegetation, the rest in the soil detritus pool. Higher precipitation and lower temperatures in the higher elevation forests result in larger total C pool sizes than in forests at lower elevations. During the study period, the CO(2) fertilization effect dominated ozone and climatic stresses (temperature and precipitation), and the combination of these multiple factors resulted in net accumulation of 0.9Tg C in this ecosystem.
