4,4'-二氨基二苯基甲烷对浮萍(Lemna minor L.)毒性作用

以浮萍(Lemna minor L.)为受试生物,通过研究不同浓度(0、0.6、1.8、5.4、16.2和48.6 mg·L-1)的4,4'-二氨基二苯基甲烷(4,4'-methylenedianiline,MDA)对浮萍生长、叶绿素含量、PSⅡ最大光化学效应(Fv/Fm)、质膜透性及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响,初步探讨MDA对水生植物浮萍的毒性作用.实验结果表明,在7d暴露时间下,MDA对浮萍叶片数、叶片数生长率、叶片干质量和叶面积都有显著的抑制作用,且抑制程度与MDA的浓度呈正相关.其对浮萍叶片数生长抑制的7d半数效应浓度(7 d-ECs0)为26.7 mg·L-1,95％置信限为22.3 ～ 32.1 mg·L-1;对浮萍叶片数产量抑制的7 d-EC50为0.62 mg-L-1,95％置信限为0.53～0.74 mg-L-1;对浮萍总叶面积及干质量产量抑制的7 d-EC50＜0.6 mg·L-1.MDA处理导致浮萍总叶绿素含量和Fv/Fm下降,而浮萍质膜透性显著增加.低浓度MDA对浮萍SOD、POD和CAT酶活性无显著影响,但随着MDA浓度的升高SOD、POD和CAT酶活性显著升高,当MDA浓度达到48.6 mg· L-1时,抑制POD和CAT酶活性.以上结果表明,MDA能够直接损伤质膜,干扰叶绿体功能并抑制光合活性,而氧化损伤是质膜损伤引起的继发性应激,继而引起膜脂质过氧化,加剧质膜损伤,从而进一步抑制浮萍的生长.     

Improving disintegration and acidification of waste activated sludge by combined alkaline and microwave pretreatment

The individual alkaline or microwave pretreatment has been proved to be effective in disintegration and acidification of waste activated sludge (WAS). In this study, the effects of combined alkaline and microwave pretreatment at different pH and specific energy input (Es) on WAS disintegration were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Combined pretreatment achieved disintegration degree (DD) of 65.87% at Es of 38,400 kJ/kg TS and pH 11.0. The ANOVA further demonstrated that pH showed more significant effect on DD than Es. Anaerobic batch experiment results showed that combined pretreatment not only significantly improved volatile fatty acids (VFAs) accumulation but also shortened the time for the highest VFAs accumulation. The maximal VFAs accumulation (1500 mg COD/L) obtained at Es of 28,800 kJ/kg TS and fermentation time of 72 h, which was about two times that of the treatment without microwave (850 mg COD/L) at 96 h. The analysis of VFAs composition showed that the VFAs mainly consisted of acetic and iso-valeric acids, accounting for 57.3–70.1% of total VFAs.     

Study on the reaction of 3-methyl-2-butenal and 3-methylbutanal with Cl atoms: kinetics and reaction mechanism

The reaction of Cl atoms with two C₅ aldehydes (3-methyl-2-butenal and 3-methylbutanal) were investigated by proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrum (PTR-MS) using smog chamber at 298 ± 1 K and 760 Torr. A relative rate method was used to determine the rate constants of the title reactions with m-xylene and trans-2-butene as reference compounds: (3.04 ± 0.18)  ×  10⁻¹⁰ and (2.07 ± 0.14)  ×  10⁻¹⁰ cm³/(molecule⋅sec) for 3-methyl-2-butenal and 3-methylbutanal, respectively. Additionally, the gas-phase products were also identified by PTR-MS, and the possible reaction mechanisms were proposed basing on the identified products. The detected gas-phase products are similar for two C₅ aldehydes reactions, mainly including small molecules of aldehydes, ketones and chlorinated aldehyde compounds. The atmospheric lifetimes (τ) calculated for 3-methyl-2-butenal (τ = 7.0 hr, marine boundary layer (MBL)) and 3-methylbutanal (τ = 10.3 hr, MBL) according to the obtained rate constants. The results indicate that Cl atoms at MBL are competitive with OH radicals for the degradation contribution of C₅ aldehyde compounds.     

How do inundation provoke the release of phosphorus in soil-originated sediment due to nitrogen reduction after reclaiming lake from polder

Different N and P fractions in microcosm incubation experiment was measured using high-resolution in-situ Peeper and DGT techniques combining with sequential extraction procedure. The results showed the synchronous desorption and release of PO₄^3-, S^2- and Fe²⁺ from the solid soil-originated sediment. This trend indicated that the significant reduction of Fe-P and SO₄^2- occurred in the pore water during the inundation. The concentrations of PO₄^3- in the overlying water and pore water increased to more than 0.1 and 0.2 mg/L at the beginning of the incubation experiment. Decreased NO₃^-concentrations from more than 1.5 mg/L to less than 0.5 mg/L combining with increasing NH₄⁺ concentrations from less than 1 mg/L to more than 5 mg/L suggested the remarkable NO₃^- reduction via dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) pathway over time. High NH₄⁺ concentrations in the pore water aggravated the release of Fe²⁺ through reduction of Fe(III)-P as electric acceptors under anaerobic conditions. This process further stimulated the remarkable releasing of labile PO₄^3- from the solid phase to the solution and potential diffusion into overlying water. Additionally, high S^2- concentration at deeper layer indicated the reduction and releasing of S^2- from oxidation states, which can stimulated the NO₃^- reduction and the accumulation of NH₄⁺ in the pore water. This process can also provoke the reduction of Fe-P as electric acceptors following the release of labile PO₄^3- into pore water. Generally, inundation potentially facilitate the desorption of labile P and attention should be paid during the reclaiming lake from polder.

Impact of anthropogenic activities on urban stream water quality: a case study in Guangzhou,China

Anthropogenic activities are increasingly impacting the quality of urban surface water, particularly in regions undergoing intensive urbanization, such as Guangzhou of South China with a large urban stream network. To examine such impacts, we conducted field sampling on December 24, 2010, May 24, 2011, and August 28, 2011, representative of the low-, normal-, and high-flow periods, respectively. The first sampling was timed immediately after the closing of the 16th Asian Games (November 12–27, 2010) and the 10th Asian Para Games (December 12–19, 2010) held in Guangzhou. Assessments based on a pollution index method showed that the urban streams under investigation were extremely polluted, with direct discharge of untreated domestic sewage identified as the main pollution contributor. In addition, stream water quality around urban villages with high population densities was worse than that within business districts away from the urban villages. Pollution control measures implemented in preparation for the Asian Games were effective for urban streams within the business districts, but less effective for those adjacent to the urban villages. However, short-term efforts may not be able to achieve sustainable urban water quality improvements. In the case of Guangzhou, minimizing or even eliminating direct point-source inputs to the urban streams is perhaps the best option.
