Reductive degradation of nitrobenzene in aqueous solution by zero-valent iron

The reductive degradation of nitrobenzene (NB) by zero-valent iron was investigated. Experimental results showed that the degradation of NB was influenced by pH and NB concentration. The optimum pH value was found to be 3.0 for the reductive degradation of NB in the tested pH ranges of 3.0-12.0. The formation rate of aniline, a major reductive product of NB, followed zero-order kinetics at various pH levels. Furthermore, GC/MS analysis showed that aniline, azobenzene and azoxybenzene were the reductive products of NB by zero-valent iron. With the analysis of the products with GC/MS and FTIR, possible reductive pathways of NB by zero-valent iron were suggested.

磁性吸附剂CeO2/MZFS去除水中盐酸四环素

利用废碱性电池制备得到尖晶石结构的锰锌铁氧体Mn_0.6Zn_0.4Fe₂O₄（MZF）,利用原位聚合制备得到硅包覆的磁性纳米复合物MZF@SiO₂（MZFS）,采用浸渍法制备得到集磁分离、吸附与类Fenton催化活性于一体的CeO₂/MZFS磁性吸附剂,并对其形貌和磁性能等进行了表征.结果表明,CeO₂/MZFS对水中盐酸四环素（TH）表现出良好的吸附性能,160 min吸附过程可达平衡,TH的去除率达到95%.吸附过程可用准二级动力学方程描述,化学吸附为速控步骤;Freundlich等温吸附模型能较好地描述该吸附过程,热力学计算结果表明,CeO₂/MZFS对TH的吸附是以物理吸附为主的自发吸热过程;利用红外光谱初步揭示了吸附机制.吸附TH后的CeO₂/MZFS可利用其非均相类Fenton催化活性以H₂O₂作为再生剂进行原位再生,6次循环使用后,CeO₂/MZFS对TH仍能保持较高的平衡吸附量.研究结果可为抗生素废水的治理提供理论指导和技术支持.     

不同生态混凝土坡岸中溶解性有机质与镉的相互作用机理研究

为研究生态混凝土坡岸中DOM(dissolved organic matter,溶解性有机质)与重金属离子的相互作用,通过FQT(fluorescence quenching titration,荧光淬灭滴定)试验配合3D-EEMs(three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy,三维荧光光谱)、PARAFAC(parallel factor,平行因子分析)和2D-COS(two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy,二维相关光谱)探究了AEC(applied eco-concrete,应用型生态混凝土)和IEC(improved eco-concrete,改良型生态混凝土)坡岸中DOM与Cd2+的相互作用机理.结果表明:①3D-EEMs结果显示,AEC_ow(AEC坡岸出水)类蛋白组分荧光强度降低,水体腐殖化程度升高,而IEC_ow(IEC坡岸出水) DOM各组分荧光强度均降低;Cd2+能与DOM中所有组分发生络合,且随c(Cd2+)增加,各组分的荧光强度最终趋于稳定.②PARAFAC将所有样品中DOM分离出类蛋白、类富里酸和类腐殖质3个独立组分,其中类富里酸组分随c(Cd2+)增加表现稳定的荧光淬灭效果.③通过Ryan and Weber模型计算Cd2+与DOM中各组分的络合常数(lg K)发现,所有样品中Cd2+与DOM中类富里酸组分的lg K值均大于类蛋白组分.进一步发现,不同坡岸出水lg K值大小依次为RW(原水) > AEC_ow > IEC_ow;④2D-COS分析得出,DOM中类蛋白组分对Cd2+的敏感度最大.RW中Cd2+与DOM位点的络合顺序为340 nm→273 nm→282 nm,AEC_ow中络合顺序为410 nm→330 nm.研究显示:Cd2+率先与DOM中类富里酸、腐殖质类物质络合,且络合能力强,类蛋白物质最容易受Cd2+的干扰;AEC_ow增加了下游水生态系统中Cd2+的迁移风险和生物有效性,相反IEC_ow则降低了Cd2+的迁移风险,两种坡岸均能降低DOM组分与Cd2+的络合能力,其中IEC坡岸最优.      

南京冬季一次重霾污染事件PM2.5区域传输收支分析

利用WRF-Chem模式对2015年12月21—23日南京一次重霾污染过程进行模拟.基于合理的模拟评估,采用大气传输通量计算法,着重分析了此次霾污染过程中模拟的南京地区PM_(2.5)的传输收支特征,以及周边地区大气污染物传输对南京市PM_(2.5)变化的贡献.结果表明,此次霾污染过程中,本地源与外来源区域传输共同影响着南京市的空气质量.PM_(2.5)的跨区域传输是此次重霾污染发生和消亡的重要因素.在霾污染事件的形成维持阶段,南京地区是作为周边地区PM_(2.5)的接收区,大气污染物主要由南京的西边界输入,大气污染物的外源输入是南京PM_(2.5)污染的主要贡献来源,占南京PM_(2.5)污染的84%.在霾污染事件的消亡阶段,南京地区则是作为周边地区PM_(2.5)的源,大气污染物主要由南京的东边界持续向外输出.     

Treatment of coking wastewater by a novel electric assisted micro-electrolysis filter

A newly designed electric assisted micro-electrolysis filter(E-ME) was developed to investigate its degradation efficiency for coking wastewater and correlated characteristics. The performance of the E-ME system was compared with separate electrolysis(SE) and micro-electrolysis(ME) systems. The results showed a prominent synergistic effect on COD removal in E-ME systems. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC–MS) analysis confirmed that the applied electric field enhanced the degradation of phenolic compounds.Meanwhile, more biodegradable oxygen-bearing compounds were detected. SEM images of granular activated carbon(GAC) showed that inactivation and blocking were inhibited during the E-ME process. The effects of applied voltage and initial p H in E-ME systems were also studied. The best voltage value was 1 V, but synergistic effects existed even with lower applied voltage. E-ME systems exhibited some p H buffering capacity and attained the best efficiency in neutral media, which means that there is no need to adjust p H prior to or during the treatment process. Therefore, E-ME systems were confirmed as a promising technology for treatment of coking wastewater and other refractory wastewater.     

基于百度指数的贵州地级市生态文明建设水平评价研究

文章针对目前生态文明建设水平评价指标体系信息不充分的局限,引入百度指数,从生态经济、生态环境、生态宜居及生态文化等4个方面构建贵州地级市生态文明建设水平评价指标体系,并选取2013～2017年贵州9个地级市的指标原始数据,运用灰色关联投影法对贵州9个地级市的生态文明建设水平进行实证评价。结果表明:从空间上看,黔东南州、黔南州和黔西南州的生态文明建设水平位列全省前3位,远超其余6个地级市;从时间上看,贵州9个地级市的生态文明建设水平都呈现出波动增长的态势,其中贵阳市、毕节市和铜仁市的增幅位列前3位。样本期内,贵州各地级市生态文明建设水平之间的差距逐步缩小,但区域间呈现非均衡发展的态势。     

The state of bird and nature protection in Croatia

Summary Croatia, as a Mediterranean country in the south-eastern part of Europe, is an area with a characteristic flora and fauna. The ornithofauna of Croatia reflects that it is a breeding area for some of the globally endangered bird species, as well as a site for the spring/autumn passage and the wintering of European migratory birds. Many ornithologically significant localities are designated and there are 20 ornithological reserves and four wetland sites that are on the list of the Ramsar Convention.In Croatia, there are four governmental organizations dealing with scientific research on birds of which the Institute for Ornithology of the Croatian Academy, of Sciences and Arts is that with the longest tradition. There are also many non-governmental organizations dedicated to the protection of environment, but only the Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection is dedicated mostly to bird protection. There are not many sources of funding for research and the protection of birds; the chief source being the Ministry of Sciences and Technology of the Republic of Croatia.Croatia has to establish new legislation according to European criteria and The Hunting Law, The Nature Protection Law and The Environment Protection Law have been recently accepted in Parliament. International Conventions, such as Bern, Bonn and Washington, have yet to be adopted. Foreign, hunting tourism, especially organized by fishpond authorities, is believed to be killing large numbers of protected water birds. A red data book exists only for plants and mammals and this makes biological assessments difficult.With the end of military operations and the reintegration of the occupied areas of Croatia, an assessment of the damage to the national parks and nature reserves, and to nature in general, will be necessary. Bird and nature conservation in Croatia remains promising, provided the legal control of the Croatian government over the occupied parts of the country is restored soon and international organizations give assistance.Dr Jasmina Muini is Croatian by birth and she has studied in Paris, Oslo, and Zagred where she gained her PhD. She is a President of the Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection, a member of the Croatian Parliament Board for Environmental Protection, vice-president of the Scientific Council of the Zoological Garden in Zagreb, and a member of other Croatian environmental bodies. She is a leading authority on the ornithofauna of the Croatian wetlands.     

γ-射线辐照法改善城市污水厂剩余污泥厌氧消化特性的研究

采用γ-射线辐照法对城市污水厂剩余污泥进行预处理,从固体组分、可溶性组分及厌氧产气量等角度来探讨γ-射线辐照法改善城市污水厂剩余污泥厌氧消化特性的可行性.结果表明,经γ-射线辐照处理后,污泥的平均粒径减小,在辐照剂量为6.51～30.75 kGy范围内,粒径的减小率达30%～50%;可溶性有机组分随着辐照剂量升高而增加,当辐照剂量为19.4 kGy时,SCOD增加率达552.5%;与未辐照相比,污泥经2.48、6.51、11.24 kGy辐照处理后,厌氧消化累计产气量分别增加8.89%、19.74%和35.81%.γ-射线辐照法是一种有效的改善污泥厌氧消化特性的方法,11.24 kGy左右的剂量可作为污泥预处理的最佳剂量.
