Source attributions of heavy metals in rice plant along highway in Eastern China

Air and soil pollution from traffic has been considered as a critical issue to crop production and food safety, however, few efforts have been paid on distinguish the source origin of traffic-related contaminants in rice plant along highway. Therefore, we investigated metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn and Cu) concentrations and stable Pb isotope ratios in rice plants exposed and unexposed to highway traffic pollution in Eastern China in 2008. Significant differences in metals concentrations between the exposed and unexposed plants existed in leaf for Pb, Cd and Zn, in stem only for Zn, and in grain for Pb and Cd. About 46% of Pb and 41% of Cd in the grain were attributed to the foliar uptake from atmosphere, and there were no obvious contribution of atmosphere to the accumulations of Cr, Zn and Cu in grain. Except for Zn, all of the heavy metals in stem were attributed to the root uptake from soil, although significant accumulations of Pb and Cd from atmosphere existed in leaf. This indicated that different processes existed in the subsequent translocation of foliar-absorbed heavy metals between rice organs. The distinct separation of stable Pb isotope ratios among rice grain, leaf, stem, soil and vehicle exhaust further provided evidences on the different pathways of heavy metal accumulation in rice plant. These results suggested that further more attentions should be paid to the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals from traffic emission when plan crop layout for food safety along highway.     

Evaluation of soil washing process with carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin and carboxymethyl chitosan for recovery of PAHs/heavy metals/fluorine from metallurgic plant site

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)/heavy metals/fluorine(F) mixed-contaminated sites caused by abandoned metallurgic plants are receiving wide attention. To address the associated environmental problems,this study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of using carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin(CMCD) and carboxymethyl chitosan(CMC) solution to enhance ex situ soil washing for extracting mixed contaminants. Further,Tenax extraction method was combined with a first-three-compartment model to evaluate the environmental risk of residual PAHs in washed soil. In addition,the redistribution of heavy metals/F after decontamination was also estimated using a sequential extraction procedure. Three successive washing cycles using50 g/L CMCD and 5 g/L CMC solution were effective to remove 94.3% of total PAHs,93.2% of Pb,85.8% of Cd,93.4% of Cr,83.2% of Ni and 97.3% of F simultaneously. After the 3rd washing,the residual PAHs mainly existed as very slowly desorbing fractions,which were in the form of well-aged,well-sequestered compounds; while the remaining Pb,Cd,Cr,Ni and F mainly existed as Fe–Mn oxide and residual fractions,which were always present in stable mineral forms or bound to non-labile soil fractions. Therefore,this combined cleanup strategy proved to be effective and environmentally friendly.     

大气颗粒物中有机酸污染特征的分级研究

利用大流量分级采样器,于2012年1-7月对北京市海淀区大气可吸入颗粒物进行分级采集,并对膜溶剂提取、衍生化后利用GC-MS对不同粒径中21种一元酸和7种二元酸测定分析。结果表明,PM10、PM2.5、PM1中一元酸质量浓度的平均值分别为721.83 ng/m3、487.51ng/m3、349.28 ng/m3,二元酸质量浓度的平均值分别为215.31 ng/m3、157.09 ng/m3、112.39 ng/m3,一元酸和二元酸均易富集在以PM1为代表的第五级颗粒物中。C11-C24在一元酸中表现出明显的偶数碳优势,而二元酸没有奇偶优势。在不同粒径的颗粒物中,测定的21种一元酸中棕榈酸(C1)6的分布是最大的,硬脂酸(C1)8其次;二元酸中壬二酸的质量浓度是最大值。通过有机酸的来源分析,一元酸的主要来自一次人为源,其中,一、二月燃煤的燃烧对颗粒物中一元酸贡献明显,但在其他月份的贡献明显减少;光化学反应是大气颗粒物中二元酸的重要来源。

绿狐尾藻分解及其氮磷释放特征

湿地植物分解释放的有机物、氮和磷等会影响人工湿地对水体污染物的去除效率和出水水质.本研究采用尼龙分解袋法研究绿狐尾藻在水中的分解过程及氮磷释放特征.连续60 d的室内分解实验结果表明,前期(0～4 d)绿狐尾藻干物质质量损失速率快,占初始质量的30%,中后期(4～60 d)损失速率减慢,占31%.拟合的一级动力学分解速率常数为0. 014 2d-1,降解50%的干物质需48. 8 d.水体p H值变化情况:0～4 d从7. 60迅速下降到5. 63;中期趋于稳定;后期p H值回升到7. 03,与空白对照值接近.绿狐尾藻分解实验系统中溶解氧浓度从6. 30 mg·L~(-1)在1 d内快速下降到0. 61 mg·L~(-1),表明该系统一直处于厌氧状态.水中总氮浓度0～2 h迅速增加达到12. 7 mg·L~(-1),2 h～32 d逐渐降低到5. 80 mg·L~(-1),后期略有增加;总磷浓度初期快速升高到18. 4 mg·L~(-1),中后期趋于稳定.有机氮(占总氮65. 7%～94. 7%)和无机磷(占总磷61%～89%)是主要的氮磷存在形态.绿狐尾藻体内总氮含量随分解时间逐渐增加,从24. 3 mg·g~(-1)上升到60. 5 mg·g~(-1);而总磷含量从6. 09 mg·g~(-1)下降到2. 94 mg·g~(-1)后波动稳定,这可能与附着微生物对氮的吸收和固定等因素有关.本研究证实绿狐尾藻分解过程释放的氮磷营养元素会引起水体二次污染,为此采用合理的植物收割管理措施非常必要.

垂直流人工湿地系统基质优化级配研究

选取生物陶粒、无烟煤、沸石、钢渣和蛭石为基质,按不同的级配方式填充成基质柱,进行垂直流人工湿地模拟柱净化污水实验.研究表明,粒径分层级配基质对COD的去除率均高于单一粒径基质,其中分层生物陶粒对COD的平均去除率高达72.91%.分层沸石对总氮的净化能力较单一粒径基质有所提高,平均去除率高达91.23%.填充了生物陶粒、沸石和无烟煤的模拟柱对有机物和氮的净化效果和单一基质没有显著性差异(p0.05).填充钢渣和无烟煤的模拟柱出水pH值均在正常范围内,但是除从上到下依次填充无烟煤、蛭石和钢渣的基质柱外,其它填充钢渣和无烟煤的模拟柱对磷素的净化能力都低于单一基质.种植植物对净化效果没有明显影响.在垂直流人工湿地中,针对水质特点选择高效的级配基质,如分层生物陶粒、分层沸石、分层无烟煤以及生物陶粒、沸石和无烟煤组合,在高水力负荷条件下可获得更好的处理效果.     

太湖两种水生植物群落对沉积物中氮素的影响

2012年6月对太湖贡湖湾、南部湖区以及东西山之间水域的两种水生植物——马来眼子菜(Potamogeton malaianus)和荇菜(Limnanthemun nymphoides)群落内外的沉积物进行样品采集,调查了沉积物中的氮素分布现状.结果表明:①草藻过渡型湖区(贡湖湾)马来眼子菜群落内部0~25 cm的沉积物中Org-N和TN的含量分别比群落外部高38.06%和25.65%.②草型湖区新生植物群落的形成可以促进沉积物(0~25 cm)中各形态氮含量的降低,其中马来眼子菜群落内沉积物(0~25 cm)中TN、Org-N、NH+4-N和NO-3-N的含量较群落外平均降低了43.29%,50.78%,7.09%和10.86%;荇菜群落内部比外部分别降低了4.65%,4.63%,5.01%和2.76%,可以发现马来眼子菜群落的促进作用比荇菜群落明显.③植物群落的存在可以影响沉积物的理化性质.相关性分析显示,植物群落外沉积物的pH与TN显著正相关(P<0.05,n=24),植物群落内部沉积物中pH与沉积物中NH+4-N呈显著负相关(P<0.05,n=24),与硝态氮呈显著正相关(P<0.05,n=24);植物群落内部和外部沉积物的Eh均与TN显著正相关(GMN,P<0.01,R=0.922 8**;NMN,P<0.01,R=0.827 7**;GMW,P<0.05,R=0.748 9*;NMW,P<0.05,R=0.663 7*),但较群落外部而言内部的相关性更强.     

亚硝氮停供及恢复供给对Anammox反应器中氮去除的影响

在Anammox-UASB反应器中研究了亚硝氮停供及恢复供给后不同进水亚硝氮/氨氮比(R_I)对Anammox系统脱氮的影响,对Anammox系统停供亚硝氮培养后的污泥微生物群落进行了分析.结果表明,Anammox反应器在长期停供亚硝氮培养后,微生物多样性增加,氨氧化菌(Nitrosomonas)和Anammox菌都大量增殖,这两种微生物通过协同作用使得部分氨氮得以去除,NH_4~+-N最大去除速率可达68.77 mg·L~(-1)·d~(-1),出水p H低于进水.反应器恢复亚硝氮供给后,脱氮效果快速恢复.Anammox反应器中存在的氨氮"超量去除"现象是由氨氧化菌作用引起的,氨氧化菌活性易受亚硝氮浓度抑制.氨氮"超量去除"量占氨氮总去除量的百分比与R_I呈负相关关系.当R_I为0.17时,氨氮"超量去除"量占氨氮总去除量的百分比高达68.83%;当R_I增加到1.30∶1后,氨氮"超量去除"现象基本消失.
