喀斯特洞穴晶体生长速率的古气候重建意义

为了从石笋中提取更多的古气候信息,以用于气候预测,需要研究现代洞穴沉积过程与周围环境变化的关系。本文通过对贵州5个洞穴现代沉积玻片上菱形方解石的长度与滴水变率观测研究发现,在洞穴滴水不间断的情况下,滴水变率较小的滴水点,菱形方解石晶体长轴生长速率较快,反之,生长速率较慢。反映在石笋中,石笋晶体粒径较大说明处于降水稳定时期,石笋晶体粒径较小指示沉积时期降水变率较大,气候不稳定。     

外源水对碳酸盐侵蚀速率研究——以桂林毛村地下河为例

本文对桂林毛村地下河流域,进行了野外监测与室内分析研究,详细研究了外源水与岩溶水对碳酸盐岩侵蚀速率差异。研究结果表明,碳酸盐岩在岩溶水与外源水中的侵蚀速率存在较大差异,雨季碳酸盐岩侵蚀速率:外源水外源水补给的岩溶水岩溶水空气;旱季碳酸盐岩溶蚀速率:外源水外源水补给的岩溶水空气岩溶水;外源水中的灰岩侵蚀速率白云岩侵蚀速率;碳酸盐岩试块的侵蚀速率具有明显的季节变化,主要受控于方解石饱和指数、pH值与水动力条件。     

烟气污染综合治理的研究现状及发展趋势

烟气污染物大致分为气态污染物（SOx和NOx）、颗粒物和重金属.烟气综合治理的研究基础应先研究三类污染物之间、污染物与常用处理工艺之间以及不同污染物处理工艺之间的相互影响和作用.烟气污染综合治理的思路可归纳为工艺直接组合、集成控制与同时处理,其中以同时处理为最优.同时脱硫脱硝的研究趋势为等离子体技术与活性炭吸附技术,同时除尘脱汞的研究趋势则为汞在除尘过程中的迁移转化和汞的氧化剂和氧化方法的研究.     

24孔板发酵法测定地表水和废水中粪大肠菌群的研究

对地表水和废水中粪大肠菌群的多管发酵法进行了改进。改进了初发酵方法,采用24孔板代替试管进行初发酵,复发酵方法保持不变。对环境中采集的23个污水样本采用24孔板初发酵法与多管发酵法进行比较,结果表明,两种方法相关性良好,两者在结果上无统计学意义的差别。采用改进的24孔板法进行初发酵有效节约了培养基、缩短了实验准备时间,简化了操作步骤,尤其适用于大批量的、污染严重的地表水和废水中粪大肠菌群的检测。     

两种微藻胞外分泌物与NO2-、NO3-对2，4-D光解的影响

在模拟太阳光照射下,利用旋转式光化学反应装置,研究了海水小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)和新月菱形藻(Nitzschia closterium)的胞外分泌物(EOM),以及分别在NO-2或(和)NO-3共存条件下对2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4-D)光解的影响.实验结果表明,2,4-D在海水小球藻和新月菱形藻EOM及分别在NO-2、NO-3共存下的光解过程均符合准一级动力学反应.研究发现,2,4-D的光解速率随海水小球藻和新月菱形藻EOM浓度的增加而减小,表明这两种微藻EOM可抑制海水中2,4-D的光解.当在微藻EOM溶液中分别加入不同浓度的NO-2或NO-3后,微藻EOM对2,4-D光解的抑制作用减弱,且随着NO-2和NO-3浓度的增加,2,4-D光解速率明显增加.特别是当微藻EOM与NO-2或NO-3三者共存时,可进一步促进2,4-D的光解.     

再生水无计划间接补充饮用水的雌激素健康风险

以城市污水为水源的再生水中含有一定量的雌激素类内分泌干扰物,其在无计划间接补充饮用水过程中存在潜在健康风险.针对再生水经河流补给湖库型水源地的典型场景,研究了再生水中雌酮、雌二醇、17α-乙炔基雌二醇、双酚A、壬基酚和辛基酚在水体中的变化规律,评价了雌激素的健康风险.结果表明,再生水(二级出水)中雌激素类物质的质量浓度多分布在0.1~100 ng·L-1水平;双酚A和壬基酚的浓度较高,可达到1~10μg·L-1水平.再生水间接补充饮用水过程中,雌激素的浓度受到上游来水稀释、河道湖库自然降解和饮用水处理工艺去除等作用的影响.雌酮、雌二醇、双酚A、壬基酚和辛基酚的非致癌风险较小,都低于规定值1.当湖库型水源地的水力停留时间大于30 d时,再生水中17α-乙炔基雌二醇对人体的非致癌风险值大多小于1;当停留时间小于10 d且再生水占饮用水比例达50%以上时,16%~47%样品的17α-乙炔基雌二醇的非致癌风险值大于1,其健康风险需优先关注.     

Unexpected phenotypes of malformations induced in Xenopus tropicalis embryos by combined exposure to triphenyltin and 9-cis-retinoic acid

Xenopus tropicalis embryos were exposed for 48 hr to the mixtures of 5 g Sn/L triphenyltin(TPT), which is a well-known endocrine disruptor, and 0.25–5 g/L 9-cis retinoic acid(9c-RA), which is the natural ligand of retinoid X receptor. The phenotypes induced by combined exposure were more variable than those resulting from single exposure to either TPT or 9c-RA. The prominent phenotypes included underdeveloped head structures, abnormal eyes, narrow fins, enlarged proctodaeum, etc. Especially, combined exposure induced unexpected notochord malformations, which ranged from small swellings of the surface of the tails to the extension and extrusion of notochord out of the posterior tails. Compared with the 5 g Sn/L TPT-treated group, the index of fin deficiency was not affected, and the index of axis deficiency was significantly increased with increasing RA concentrations in the mixtures. Our results suggest that combined exposure to TPT and 9c-RA induced not only more variable phenotypes of malformations than exposure to single compound but also some new and unexpected phenotypes.     

Removal of arsenate with hydrous ferric oxide coprecipitation：Effect of humic acid

Insights from the adverse effect of humic acid(HA) on arsenate removal with hydrous ferric oxide(HFO) coprecipitation can further our understanding of the fate of As(V) in water treatment process. The motivation of our study is to explore the competitive adsorption mechanisms of humic acid and As(V) on HFO on the molecular scale. Multiple complementary techniques were used including macroscopic adsorption experiments, surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS), extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS) spectroscopy, flow-cell attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR) measurement, and charge distribution multisite complexation(CDMUSIC) modeling. The As(V) removal efficiency was reduced from over 95% to about 10% with the increasing HA concentration to 25 times of As(V) mass concentration. The SERS analysis excluded the HA-As(V) complex formation. The EXAFS results indicate that As(V) formed bidentate binuclear surface complexes in the presence of HA as evidenced by an As-Fe distance of 3.26–3.31 ?. The in situ ATR-FTIR measurements show that As(V) replaces surface hydroxyl groups and forms innersphere complex. High concentrations of HA may physically block the surface sites and inhibit the As(V) access. The adsorption of As(V) and HA decreased the point of zero charge of HFO from 7.8 to 5.8 and 6.3, respectively. The CD-MUSIC model described the zeta potential curves and adsorption edges of As(V) and HA reasonably well.     

Effect of ozone on the performance of a hybrid ceramic membrane-biological activated carbon process

Two hybrid processes including ozonation-ceramic membrane-biological activated carbon （BAC） （Process A） and ceramic membrane-BAC （Process B） were compared to treat polluted raw water. The performance of hybrid processes was evaluated with the removal efficiencies of turbidity, ammonia and organic matter. The results indicated that more than 99% of particle count was removed by both hybrid processes and ozonation had no significant effect on its removal. BAC filtration greatly improved the removal of ammonia. Increasing the dissolved oxygen to 30.0 mg/L could lead to a removal of ammonia with concentrations as high as 7.80 mg/L and 8.69 mg/L for Processes A and B, respectively. The average removal efficiencies of total organic carbon and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm （UV254, a parameter indicating organic matter with aromatic structure） were 49% and 52% for Process A, 51% and 48% for Process B, respectively. Some organic matter was oxidized by ozone and this resulted in reduced membrane fouling and increased membrane flux by 25%-30%. However, pre-ozonation altered the components of the raw water and affected the microorganisms in the BAC, which may impact the removals of organic matter and nitrite negatively.
