睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌PhaR基因敲除菌株的构建及其3, 17β-HSD对甾族化合物的响应特性

基于同源重组原理构建了PhaR基因敲除的睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌基因工程菌,并对不同诱导条件下菌体细胞的3,17β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3,17β-HSD)的表达情况进行了研究.结果表明,利用电穿孔法获得了一株PhaR基因插入失活的睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌突变体PK-4,该突变菌株具有较高的遗传稳定性.建立的ELISA法对3,17β-HSD表达的定量分析表明,睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌的野生株和突变株细胞内的3,17β-HSD蛋白都可被睾丸酮诱导,但不能被雌二醇和胆固醇诱导.在诱导条件下,突变菌株PK-4产生的3,17β-HSD蛋白量是野生型菌株产生量的2.6倍,并且在无诱导条件下,前者的量也明显高于后者,表明PhaR为3,17β-HSD基因表达的抑制子.雌二醇和胆固醇可明显抑制睾丸酮对睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌3,17β-HSD的诱导效应,但在相同条件下,睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌PhaR基因敲除的突变菌株PK-4产生的3,17β-HSD蛋白量仍然明显高于野生型菌株.说明,PhaR基因在睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌的3,17β-HSD表达调控方面具有重要意义,并且PhaR基因敲除的睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌基因工程菌PK-4在雄性激素污染物的环境污染治理方面还具有潜在的应用价值.     

滇池表层沉积物对磷的吸附特征

在室内模拟条件下,从滇池表层沉积物对磷的吸附动力学与热力学两个角度出发,研究了滇池沉积物对磷的吸附特征,同时探讨了不同磷形态对磷吸附特性的影响,结果表明:1滇池不同形态磷含量顺序为:有机磷钙(O-P)钙结合态磷(Ca-P)金属氧化物结合态磷(Al-P)残渣态磷(Res-P)可还原态磷(Fe-P)弱吸附态磷(NH4Cl-P);2沉积物对磷的吸附动力学过程分为2个阶段,即快吸附和慢吸附阶段.快吸附阶段主要发生在0~0.5 h内,而慢吸附阶段主要发生在0.5~4 h.滇池沉积物对磷的吸附过程主要在4 h内完成.3外海北部上覆水磷酸盐(SRP)浓度低于沉积物中磷的吸附/解吸平衡浓度(EPC0),可初步判断该区域沉积物有向上覆水体释放磷的风险.4不同区域沉积物磷的最大吸附量(Qmax)和总最大吸附量(TQmax)均以外海南部最大.5沉积物本底吸附态磷含量(NAP)与钙结合态磷(Ca-P)呈显著正相关关系(R2=0.5139,p0.05),而其他吸附特征参数与磷形态之间相关性均不显著.6与洱海、太湖等湖泊相比,滇池沉积物磷的本底吸附态磷(NAP)和最大吸附量(Qmax)均处于较高水平,磷污染较为严重.     

Effect of alkalinity on nitrite accumulation in treatment of coal chemical industry wastewater using moving bed biofilm reactor

Nitrogen removal via nitrite （the nitrite pathway） is more suitable for carbon-limited industrial wastewater. Partial nitrification to nitrite is the primary step to achieve nitrogen removal via nitrite. The effect of alkalinity on nitrite accumulation in a continuous process was investigated by progressively increasing the alkalinity dosage ratio （amount of alkalinity to ammonia ratio, mol/mol）. There is a close relationship among alkalinity, pH and the state of matter present in aqueous solution. When alkalinity was insufficient （compared to the theoretical alkalinity amount）, ammonia removal efficiency increased first and then decreased at each alkalinity dosage ratio, with an abrupt removal efficiency peak. Generally, ammonia removal efficiency rose with increasing alkalinity dosage ratio. Ammonia removal efficiency reached to 88% from 23% when alkalinity addition was sufficient. Nitrite accumulation could be achieved by inhibiting nitrite oxidizing bacteria （NOB） by free ammonia （FA） in the early period and free nitrous acid in the later period of nitrification when alkalinity was not adequate. Only FA worked to inhibit the activity of NOB when alkalinity addition was sufficient.     

Combination of heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction and photocatalysis using Co-TiO2 nanocatalyst for activation of KHSO5 with visible light irradiation at ambient conditions

A novel coupled system using Co–Ti O2 was successfully designed which combined two different heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes, sulfate radical based Fenton-like reaction（SR-Fenton） and visible light photocatalysis（Vis-Photo）, for degradation of organic contaminants. The synergistic effect of SR-Fenton and Vis-Photo was observed through comparative tests of 50 mg/L Rhodamine B（Rh B） degradation and TOC removal. The Rhodamine B degradation rate and TOC removal were 100% and 68.1% using the SR-Fenton/Vis-Photo combined process under ambient conditions, respectively. Moreover, based on XRD, XPS and UV-DRS characterization, it can be deduced that tricobalt tetroxide located on the surface of the catalyst is the SR-Fenton active site, and cobalt ion implanted in the Ti O2 lattice is the reason for the visible light photocatalytic activity of Co–Ti O2. Finally, the effects of the calcination temperature and cobalt concentration on the synergistic performance were also investigated and a possible mechanism for the synergistic system was proposed. This coupled system exhibited excellent catalytic stability and reusability,and almost no dissolution of Co2＋was found.

Remediation of Ni2+-contaminated water using iron powder and steel manufacturing byproducts

Steel manufacturing byproducts and commercial iron powders were tested in the treatment of Ni^2＋-contaminated water. Ni^2＋ is a priority pollutant of some soils and groundwater. The use of zero-valent iron, which can reduce Ni^2＋ to its neural form appears to be an alternative approach for the remediation of Ni^2＋-contaminated sites. Our experimental data show that the removal efficiencies of Ni^2＋ were 95.15% and 94.68% at a metal to solution ratio of 20 g/L for commercial iron powders and the steel manufacturing byproducts in 60 min at room temperature, respectively. The removal efficiency reached 98.20% when the metal to solution ratio was 40 g/L for commercial iron powders. Furthermore, we found that the removal efficiency was also largely affected by other factors such as the pHs of the treated water, the length of time for the metal to be in contact with the Ni^2＋-contaminated water, initial concentrations of metal solutions, particle sizes and the amount of iron powders. Surprisingly, the reaction temperature appeared to have little effect on the removal efficiency. Our study opens the way to further optimize the reaction conditions of in situ remediation of Ni^2＋ or other heavy metals on contaminated sites.

Study on the pyrolysis of polyethylene in the presence of iron and copper chlorides

Pyrolysis experiments were conducted to elucidate the effects of metal chlorides on the thermal degradation of low-density polyethylene on a continuous pyrolysis temperature range of 600 degrees C to 1100 degrees C. The present work focusses on the ratio of aromatics generated on increasing the pyrolysis temperature in the presence of metal salts, iron(II), iron(III) and copper(II) chlorides. It was observed that beside alpha,omega-dienes, alpha-olefins and n-alkanes which are usually observed during the thermal decomposition of polyethylene, the level of aromatics noticeably increases with the addition of metal salts. At high temperatures, the formation of these aromatics took place in such a way that they become the major products when polyethylene is pyrolyzed in presence of FeCl(3) and CuCl(2). Quantification of the effect of metal salts has been tempted comparing the variation of the ratio of aromatics with pyrolysis temperatures. Mechanisms responsible for the formation of these aromatics in presence of metal salts have been tentatively investigated. They are proposed to result from cyclization/dehydrogenation reactions similar to those observed during the thermal decomposition of polyethylene, but with an increased efficiency due to the metal salts.     

Modeling human exposures to air pollution control (APC) residues released from landfills in England and Wales

Human exposures to air pollution control (APC) residues released from 6 landfills were modeled and assessed. Following a qualitative risk characterisation, direct and indirect exposures were quantified. Site-specific air dispersion modeling was conducted for PM(10), PCDDs/PCDFs, Pb, Cd, As and Cr(VI) concentrations at the closest residential points of exposure for 4 landfill sites accepting, in total, 75% w/w of the APC residues disposed of in 2000-2001 (UK). Inhalation risks, assessed by reference to air quality standards at residential exposure points, were assessed as insignificant. Preliminary modeling suggested that indirect exposures from PCDDs/PCDFs at the 95th percentile level for the site where APC deposition rates were highest could potentially exceed the tolerable daily soil intake (TDSI) but this warrants further study given the model limitations. These results offer an initial screen of the significance of potential risks from APC disposal, which is of value in addressing concerns about the uncertainty of potential risks to human health from bulk APC disposal at strategic locations.
