壳聚糖复合树脂对亚硝酸盐氮的吸附性能

采用反相乳液交联法制备了活性炭负载壳聚糖的新型复合树脂,研究了该树脂对亚硝酸盐氮（NO^-₂-N）的吸附性能.结果表明,复合树脂表面具有发达的微孔,与壳聚糖树脂相比,活性炭的加入使复合树脂的堆积密度、骨架密度和孔度参数值略有降低.壳聚糖复合树脂的吸附量远大于活性炭与壳聚糖树脂简单机械组合的吸附量.当温度低于40℃时,吸附类型是以静电引力为主要作用力的物理吸附,树脂对NO^-₂-N的吸附选择性会受共存阴离子浓度及其所带负电荷数的影响,吸附平衡时间约为60 min,平衡吸附量计算值为0.479 mg/g,吸附速率较快,吸附量较小;当温度高于40℃时,吸附类型为化学吸附,吸附热力学特性为吸热、自发、熵增,吸附平衡时间约为90 min,平衡吸附量计算值为0.700 mg/g,吸附速率下降,但吸附量增大.化学吸附和物理吸附的等温方程符合Freundlich模型,二者的吸附速率方程都更符合二级吸附速率模型.     

长江口南支重金属分布研究

对长江口南支采集的水样、悬沙和表层沉积物中的重金属含量进行了分析。结果表明，悬浮物中重金属含量高于表层沉积物，且2者远高于水相中重金属含量。大多数重金属元素间都有良好的相关性。水相中重金属含量由内向外呈轻微的浓度变化；悬浮物中重金属含量逐渐降低；表层沉积物中重金属含量向长江口外有降低趋势，介在长江口门处出现高浓度。河口重金属的分布受到离子交换、吸附、解吸、释释以及水动力等诸多因素的影响。     

植物促生菌在重金属生物修复中的作用机制及应用

重金属污染是导致生态和环境退化的主要因素之一.土壤重金属污染会降低土壤质量、农作物产量和品质,甚至威胁人类健康.因此,优化土壤重金属污染治理措施,对于农业高产优质可持续具有重要意义.诸多国内外学者在重金属污染植物修复方面开展了大量研究,但由于受土壤和气候环境条件的影响,其修复效率受到制约.微生物与植物的协同修复被认为是环境胁迫条件下提高重金属污染修复效率的一种有效手段.耐重金属的植物促生细菌（PGPB）不仅可以促进植物生长,提高对生物胁迫（如病原菌）和非生物胁迫（如干旱、高盐、极端温度和重金属等）的抗性,还可以改变土壤中重金属的生物利用度和毒性,从而提高植物对重金属的修复效率.系统地梳理了耐重金属的PGPB在促进植物生长,增强植物抗逆性和影响重金属生物利用度方面的作用机制,并进一步综述了近年来国内外关于PGPB在生态修复中的应用和研究进展.     

紫外-B辐射增强对小麦和燕麦繁殖特性影响的研究

模拟15％臭氧层减薄水平,研究了紫外-B（UV-B）辐射增强对小麦的花粉活力及萌发特性以及籽粒产量与其萌发特性的影响。小麦和燕麦的繁殖特性对紫外辐射的敏感性差异很大。增强的紫外辐射显著抑制了燕麦的籽粒产量及萌发率,而对小麦的繁殖效率未有显著影响,小麦花粉活力及萌发率的降低可由单株有效穗数的增加予以补赏。     

城市化过程中黑碳的土壤记录及其环境指示意义

以南京市为对象,通过3组共计10个土壤剖面的采样,用湿化学氧化法分析了土壤有机碳（organic carbon,OC）和黑碳（black carbon,BC）的含量.研究发现,南京城市土壤剖面中黑碳含量的变幅为0.22～32.19 g·kg^-1,平均值为4.35 g·kg^-1.第1组城市土壤剖面中黑碳含量的平均值为0.91 g·kg^-1,第2组为8.62 g·kg^-1,第3组为3.72 g·kg^-1.城市土壤剖面中BC/OC值的变幅为0.03～1.59,平均值为0.29,其中BC/OC平均值的大小顺序是：受古代工业活动影响的第2组最大,受现代工业和交通人为活动影响的第3组次之,受古代居民生活影响的第1组最低.研究认为,在城市化过程中,由于工业和交通等人类活动引起的生物物质和矿物燃料（煤、石油等）燃烧产生的BC在土壤中都有不同程度的沉积和记录.BC含量和BC/OC值的大小可能在一定程度上反映了不同人为影响过程和城市土壤的污染程度.城市区域BC的主要来源是矿物燃料燃烧,其中表层（现代层）主要来自交通车辆（尤其是柴油为动力的机车）排放的颗粒物质,而在古代（文化层）可能与燃烧用煤历史有关.     

Methyl tertiary-butyl ether inhibits THP-1 macrophage cholesterol efflux in vitro and accelerates atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice in vivo

The biosafety of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), mainly used as a gasoline additive, has long been a contentious topic. In addition to its routine toxicities, MTBE has been demonstrated to disrupt glucose and lipid metabolism and contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes as well as obesity. As one of the morbidities related to dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis is worthy of being investigated under MTBE exposure. Since foam cells derived from macrophages play pivotal roles during atherosclerosis development, we studied the effects of MTBE on macrophages in vitro and assessed the effect of MTBE on atherosclerosis plaque formation with the ApoE^?/? mouse model in vivo for the first time. Our results demonstrated that exposure to MTBE at environmentally relevant concentrations decreased the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1, which are responsible for macrophage cholesterol efflux, at both mRNA and protein levels in THP-1 macrophages. Consequently, treatment with MTBE inhibited the transport of cholesterol from macrophages to High-density lipoprotein. ApoE^?/? mice exposed to MTBE at environmentally relevant concentrations (100, 1000 μg/kg) displayed significant increases in lesion area in the aorta and aortic root compared to vehicle-treated ones. Further analysis indicated that MTBE exposure enhanced the macrophage-specific marker Mac-2 contents within plaques in the aortic root, implying that MTBE could promote macrophage-derived foam cell formation and thus accelerate atherosclerosis plaque formation. We for the first time demonstrated the pro-atherogenic effect of MTBE via eliciting disruption of macrophage cholesterol efflux and accelerating foam cell formation and atherosclerosis plaque development.

One-dimensional modelling of sediment deposition in reservoirs with sinking streams

It is common in karst regions that rivers are occasionally cut by mountains, resulting in the alternate appearances of open channel flow and pressurized flow. With more and more reservoirs being built in this region, the complicated sediment transport processes of such mixture flow are urgently needed to study. In this paper a one-dimensional numerical model with free surface and pressurized flows coupled together is presented. The simulated results are analyzed to explore deposition process in reservoirs with sinking streams; impacts of different hydraulic conditions on the sedimentation are also studied. To verify the computed results, a flume experiment is also conducted. The results show that deposition of sediments mainly occurs in open channel reaches where the longitudinal profile is similar to that of conventional reservoirs, i.e. typical delta has formed, demonstrating characteristics of deltaic deposition morphology in that the crest of delta moves to the downstream direction over time. The model provided by this paper is not only proved to simulate the characteristics of deposition in karst reservoirs successfully, but also reveal the impacts of hydraulic conditions in such circumstances.
