Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation on uranium and arsenic accumulation by Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata L.) from a uranium mining-impacted soil

A glasshouse experiment was conducted to investigate U and As accumulation by Chinese brake fern, Pteris vittata L., in association with different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from a U and As contaminated soil. The soil used contains 111 mg U kg(-1) and 106 mg As kg(-1). P. vittata L. was inoculated with each of three AMF, Glomus mosseae, Glomus caledonium and Glomus intraradices. Two harvests were made during plant growth (two and three months after transplanting). Mycorrhizal colonization depressed plant growth particularly at the early stages. TF (transfer factor) values for As from soil to fronds were higher than 1.0, while those for roots were much lower. Despite the growth depressions, AM colonization had no effect on tissue As concentrations. Conversely, TF values for U were much higher for roots than for fronds, indicating that only very small fraction of U was translocated to fronds (less than 2%), regardless of mycorrhizal colonization. Mycorrhizal colonization significantly increased root U concentrations at both harvests. Root colonization with G. mosseae or G. intraradices led to an increase in TF values for U from 7 (non-inoculation control) to 14 at the first harvest. The highest U concentration of 1574 mg kg(-1) was recorded in roots colonized by G. mosseae at the second harvest. The results suggested that P. vittata in combination with appropriate AMF would play very important roles in bioremediation of contaminated environments characterized by a multi-pollution.     

Reductive dechlorination of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene with palladized nanoscale Fe(zero-valent) particles supported on chitosan and silica

In this study, nanoscale Pd-Fe particles, with diameters less than 100 nm, were synthesized and dispersed over the chitosan and silica supports. Three different Pd-Fe particles were synthesized, namely 0.1% Pd-Fe, 0.5% Pd-Fe and 1.0% Pd-Fe. SEM images confirmed that the Pd-Fe particles were dispersed over the surface of the supports while SEM-EDX confirmed evenly distribution of Pd over Fe(zero-valent). alpha-Fe(zero-valent) crystallites were identified by means of XRD and observed in TEM. Reductive dechlorinations of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) with the nanoscale Pd-Fe/chitosan and Pd-Fe/silica were carried out in the batch experiment system. Disappearance of the parent species and formation of the reaction intermediates and end product were monitored at discrete times. The results show that the nano-scale Pd-Fe particles were able to completely dechlorinate the chlorinated benzenes within a very short timescale. Complete dechlorinations of 1,2,4-TCB to benzene were achieved within 60 min with the 1.0% Pd-Fe/chitosan and within 100 min with the 1.0% Pd-Fe/silica. Reaction rates were observed to increase with increasing Pd content of the Pd-Fe/support. The reactions apparently followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with respect to the 1,2,4-TCB transformation. A kinetic model is constructed to fit the experimental results for the reactions, enabling identification of the major and minor dechlorination pathways of 1,2,4-TCB. The model suggests that the 1,2,4-TCB transformation mainly followed the primary pathway of direct reductive dechlorination to benzene and secondary pathway of sequential hydrogenolysis to 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) and then chlorobenzene (CB) or benzene.

全新世青藏高原东部西南季风的演变

本研究报道一组新的西南季风代用指标,即泥炭中单一种属植物———木里苔草残体纤维素和泥炭混合植物残体纤维素的δ13C时间序列,所记录的青藏高原东部全新世气候变化。两记录表明,该区全新世的下限年龄约11200aBP(14C年龄约9900aBP);从约11200aBP起该区迅速进入湿暖的全新世阶段,季风活动迅速增强;在约10800～5500aBP期间,季风总体保持在强盛状态,但其间有4次突然减弱,气候变干冷;约从5500aBP起季风活动在波动中逐渐减弱,其中有4次减弱最明显。所有这8次气候的突然变化都与北大西洋浮冰事件一一对应。这种密切的相关关系表明,西南季风强度的波动可能是对全球变化,特别是对海洋热盐环流引起的地球南北方气候波动的所谓"跷跷板效应"的响应。     

铊的水地球化学及环境影响

铊(Tl)是一个典型的毒害金属元素,其对哺乳动物的毒性高于Hg、Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn等元素。Tl在自然水体中存在两种氧化状态:Tl+和Tl3+,通常主要以Tl+形式存在。Tl+易随地下水或地表水的流动而迁移到更远的距离,但在较强的氧化环境中,Tl+能够氧化成Tl3+形成Tl(OH)3的沉淀,可以制约水环境中Tl的总含量。Tl可以通过饮用水进入人体,其中Tl+在人体的酶化反应过程中可以置换K+,并与酶产生很强的亲和力,从而诱发Tl的毒害效应。活性铝净化法、离子交换法和NaCl溶液可以用来去除饮用水中的Tl。基于Tl的毒害性,Tl所产生的水环境问题应该引起重视。

考虑过渡区影响的粉喷桩复合地基承载特性的有限元数值分析

粉喷桩成桩过程中不可避免地会带动桩间土产生强烈的挤压和振动,在固化剂与桩体发生物理化学反应的同时,桩周一定范围内的土体也进行了固化和挤密,使得在桩土交界处形成环向变化的过渡区,过渡区的材料由桩逐渐过渡到桩间土,因此有必要考虑该过渡区对粉喷桩复合地基承载特性的影响。本文从粉喷桩复合地基桩土交界处的特点出发,考虑了桩土材料性质变化的过渡区单元,利用上的摩尔—库仑本构模型,和Plaxis专业岩土软件对粉喷桩复合地基进行了有限元数值分析,就粉喷桩复合地基中桩和土的承载特性得出了一些有益的结论。
