Preparation of porous semi-IPN temperature-sensitive hydrogel-supported nZVI and its application in the reduction of nitrophenol

Nanoscale zero-valent iron(n ZVI) particles supported on a porous, semi-interpenetrating(semi-IPN), temperature-sensitive composite hydrogel(PNIPAm-PHEMA). n ZVI@PNIPAmPHEMA, was successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, XRD and the weighing method. The loading of nZVI was 0.1548 ± 0.0015 g/g and the particle size was30–100 nm. NZVI was uniformly dispersed on the pore walls inside the PNIPAm-PHEMA.Because of the well-dispersed n ZVI, the highly porous structure, and the synergistic effect of PNIPAm-PHEMA, nZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA showed excellent reductive activity and wide p H applicability. 95% of 4-NP in 100 m L of 400 mg/L 4-NP solution with initial p H 3.0–9.0 could be completely reduced into 4-AP by about 0.0548 g of fresh supported n ZVI at 18–25 °C under stirring(110 r/min) within 45 min reaction time. A greater than 99% 4-NP degradation ratio was obtained when the initial p H was 5.0–9.0. The reduction of 4-NP by nZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA was in agreement with the pseudo-first-order kinetics model with Kobsvalues of 0.0885–0.101 min-1.NZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA was able to be recycled, and about 85% degradation ratio of 4-NP was obtained after its sixth reuse cycle. According to the temperature sensitivity of PNIPAmPHEMA, n ZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA exhibited very good storage stability, and about 88.9%degradation ratio of 4-NP was obtained after its storage for 30 days. The hybrid reducer was highly efficient for the reduction of 2-NP, 3-NP, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol and 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol. Our results suggest that PNIPAm-PHEMA could be a good potential carrier, with n ZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA having potential value in the application of reductive degradation of nitrophenol pollutants.     

Characteristics of one-year observation of VOCs, NOx, and O3 at an urban site in Wuhan, China

A continuous online observation of ozone and its precursors(NOx, VOCs) was carried out in central urban Wuhan from September 2016 to August 2017. The concentration levels of ozone,NOx, VOCs and their variations in urban Wuhan were analyzed, as well as effects of VOCs on ozone photochemical generation and the main controlling factors for ozone production. During the observation period, the average concentrations of ozone and NOx in Wuhan was 22.63 and30.14 ppbv, respectively, and the average concentration of VOCs was 32.61 ppbv(42.3% alkanes,13.0% alkenes, 10.0% aromatics, 7.3% acetylene, 9.9% OVOCs, and 10.5% halohydrocarbons).Ozone concentration was higher in spring and summer as compared with autumn and winter,wheras VOCs and NOx concentratios were lower in spring and summer but higher in autumn and winter. Aromatics and alkenes, two of VOCs species, showed the highest contributions to ozone formation potential in Wuhan(35.7% alkenes, 35.4 aromatics, 17.5% alkanes, 8.6% OVOCs,1.6% halogenated hydrocarbons, and 1.4% acetylene). Among all VOCs species, those with the highest contribution were ethylene, m-xylene, toluene, propylene and o-xylene. The contribution of these five compounds to the total ozone formation potential concentration was 43.90%.Ozone-controlling factors in Wuhan changed within one day; during the early morning hours(6:00–9:00), VOCs/NOx was low, and ozone generation followed a VOCs-limited regime.However, during the peak time of ozone concentration(12:00–16:00), the ratio of VOCs/NOx was relatively high, suggesting that ozone generation followed a NOx-limited regime.

基于面板数据分析的潮汐对地下水的影响研究

海水入侵已成为全球性的海岸带环境问题,由于海平面变化是一个长期、缓慢的过程,海水入侵往往难以预测。潮汐波动作为一种有规律的海平面变化,探讨其对地下水的影响使预测海水入侵成为可能。面板数据具有时间和空间两个维度,能更好的代表来自不同个体和不同时间的数据信息,本论文利用连续测量的地层视电阻率数据,采用面板数据方法分析了潮汐波动对视电阻率影响的强度分布,由此预测了海平面上升对地层电阻率的影响和地层视电阻率的变化趋势。     

2015年国庆期间我国城市空气污染特征及成因分析

本文基于我国31个省会城市283个环境监测站的实时观测数据,分析了2015年国庆期间我国城市空气污染特征,并结合MODIS/Terra数据、欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)气压场及风场数据对其成因进行了讨论。结果表明:本次区域性空气污染最先出现在华中和华东地区,但是在华北地区最为严重。不同城市的主要污染物具有显著的时空差异。除西安和乌鲁木齐以外,其他城市的颗粒物污染主要由细颗粒物主导。NO_2、CO和SO_2的变化趋势基本一致,而O_3仅在北京、天津和济南三个城市与其他污染气体同步变化;在其他城市则与NO_2和CO等呈现相反的变化趋势。由卫星影像、天气形势和风场变化分析得知:不考虑本地背景排放源的前提下,本次污染事件主要由我国秋季的秸秆燃烧和不利的气象条件共同作用造成的。

分层型水源水库沉积物需氧量特性

为探明分层型水源水库沉积物需氧量(SOD)特性及其影响因素,选取西安金盆水库主库区上覆水体流速较低的库心区及流速较高的入库口两处沉积物进行对比实验,估算水体不同扰动条件下沉积物需氧量,利用Biolog-Eco平板和三维荧光光谱(EMMs)技术从底栖微生物群落代谢活性和沉积物有机质两方面对取样点沉积物需氧量的差异性进行分析.结果表明,静止条件下,入库与库心沉积物在较高溶解氧时(约5 mg·L-1)的沉积物面积需氧量SOD5area分别为0.13 g·(m2·d)-1和0.36g·(m2·d)-1,库心约为入库的2.69倍.动态条件下,沉积物-水界面上覆水扰动增加使沉积物需氧量增加,沉积物耗氧动力学由一阶动力学方程逐渐向零阶动力学方程转变.入库与库心沉积物有机质含量分别为44.43 mg·g-1和45.12 mg·g-1,库心沉积物的可溶解性有机质(DOM)的总荧光强度约为入库的1.5倍.有机质含量更高的库心沉积物细菌群落代谢活性(以AWCD表征)更强,表明高含量有机质和较强细菌代谢活性是引起库心沉积物需氧量大的主要因素.将深层水库水体耗氧过程的研究结果与现有充氧曝气技术进行结合,可为提高曝气器充氧效率提供科学依据.     

若尔盖花湖沉积物氨氧化与反硝化功能基因丰度垂向分布特征及其环境响应

若尔盖湿地作为中国最大的泥炭沼泽区,是生物地球化学循环的重要场所.本文以若尔盖湿地的花湖为研究对象,采集0～47 cm的沉积物样品,通过实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)技术,探究沉积物中氨氧化(amoA)和反硝化(nirS、nirK、nosZ clade I)功能基因丰度的垂向分布特征,及其对环境因子的响应.结果表明:花湖沉积物中古菌amoA基因丰度在垂向分布上呈下降趋势,而nirS基因丰度呈上升趋势;古菌和细菌的amoA基因丰度相近,nirS基因丰度则远高于nirK基因,且氨氧化功能基因丰度整体上比反硝化功能基因低1～2个数量级.总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、氨态氮(NH~+_4-N)、硝态氮(NO~-_3-N)和亚硝态氮(NO~-_2-N)与古菌amoA基因丰度均呈显著正相关关系(p0.05),而与nirS基因丰度呈显著负相关关系(p0.05).这两种功能基因明显受到花湖沉积物中不同形式氮素浓度的影响与限制.通过研究花湖沉积物氨氧化与反硝化功能基因的垂向分布特征及其对环境的响应,可为深入了解高原湖泊沉积物中的氮循环机理提供参考.
