The ageing effect on the bioaccessibility and fractionation of arsenic in soils from China

Ingestion of contaminated soil has been recognized as an important exposure pathway of arsenic for humans, especially for children through outdoor hand-to-mouth activities. An improved sequential extraction procedure was employed in an attempt to reveal the relationship between bioaccessibility and fractionation of As in five soils from China. Arsenic bioaccessibility in acidic ( approximately pH 4.5) soils reached approximately stable levels after a sharp decline within one week of ageing. In contrast, As bioaccessibility in higher pH (>6.0) soils was found to be significantly higher and took two weeks of ageing to reach stable levels. The artificially added As was more labile than indigenous As. The main proportions of added As were found in the specifically sorbed and amorphous and poorly-crystalline hydrous Fe/Al oxide-bound fractions. Correlation analysis shows that the non-specifically and specifically sorbed As are likely to constitute the main proportion of bioaccessible soil As. The soil content of amorphous and crystalline Fe/Al oxides and soil pH appear to be the key factors controlling, not only the time needed to reach a steady state, but also the magnitude of the bioaccessibility of As added to the soils.     

Temporal change in the distribution patterns of hexachlorobenzene and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane among various soil organic matter fractions

Residence time-dependent distribution patterns of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) among different soil organic matter fractions of three Chinese soils were investigated. Soil organic matter (SOM) was fractionated into fulvic acid (FA), humic acid (HA), bound-humic acid (BHA), lipid, and insoluble residue (IR) fractions using methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) method. Results revealed that as the residence time prolonged, the amounts of HCB and DDT in the FA, HA and BHA fractions decreased, while those in the lipid and IR fractions increased. One- and two-compartment first order, and one- and two-parameter pore-diffusion kinetic models were used to describe the mobility of HCB and DDT from the FA, HA and BHA fractions. The results suggest that excellent agreements were achieved between the experimental data and fits to the two-compartment first order kinetic model (R2>0.97). The transfer rates of HCB and DDT followed the order FA>HA>BHA.

剪切力对好氧颗粒污泥的影响及其脱氮除磷特性研究

以普通絮状活性污泥为接种污泥,以人工配制模拟生活污水为进水,采用有机负荷调控法,在SBR反应器内培养富含聚磷菌的好氧颗粒污泥,研究剪切力对好氧颗粒污泥理化特性及生物学特性的影响,并探讨好氧颗粒污泥的同步脱氮除磷特性.首先SBR以厌氧/好氧方式运行,采用有机负荷调控法培养出富含聚磷菌的好氧颗粒污泥,其粒径在1.0～2.0 mm,SVI在20～22 mL/g,MLVSS/MLSS为91.0％,活性污泥比耗氧速率(SOUR)为45.32 mg/(g·h).颗粒污泥具有良好的沉降性能和较高的生物量,磷酸盐去除率为78％ ～ 99％.然后通过控制搅拌机转速研究4种不同剪切力(以剪切应力表示为0.120 N/m2、0.151 N/m2、0.184 N/m2、0.220 N/m2)条件下好氧颗粒污泥的颗粒化进程、颗粒污泥形态及生物活性.结果表明,当剪切力在0.120-0.220 N/m2之间时,剪切力越大,培养出的好氧颗粒污泥的结构越密实,形状越规则,生物活性越强;在一定范围内(0.120～0.184N/m2),剪切力越大,污泥的颗粒化进程越快,培养出的颗粒污泥的粒径越大;但当剪切力为0.220 N/m2时,污泥的颗粒化进程反而变慢,培养出的较大的颗粒污泥解体,颗粒污泥的粒径反而变小.最后采用逐渐增加进水NH;-N负荷的方法诱导具有同步脱氮除磷能力的好氧颗粒污泥,25d后,SBR对NH4+-N、TN、PO3-4--P的去除率分别达到99.7％、89.8％及94.5％.

Nanomaterials for environmental burden reduction, waste treatment, and nonpoint source pollution control: a review

Nanomaterials are applicable in the areas of reduction of environmental burden, reduction/treatment of industrial and agricultural wastes, and nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control. First, environmental burden reduction involves green process and engineering, emissions control, desulfurization/denitrification of nonrenewable energy sources, and improvement of agriculture and food systems. Second, reduction/treatment of industrial and agricultural wastes involves converting wastes into products, groundwater remediation, adsorption, delaying photocatalysis, and nanomembranes. Third, NPS pollution control involves controlling water pollution. Nanomaterials alter physical properties on a nanoscale due to their high specific surface area to volume ratio. They are used as catalysts, adsorbents, membranes, and additives to increase activity and capability due to their high specific surface areas and nano-sized effects. Thus, nanomaterials are more effective at treating environmental wastes because they reduce the amount of material needed.
