Green Synthesis of Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>/Cellulose/Polyvinyl Alcohol Hybride Aerogel and Its Application for Dye Removal

A novel Fe₃O₄/cellulose–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aerogel was successfully synthesized by an eco-friendly and facile method in this work. Cellulose/PVA matrix was prepared through an environmental friendly physical cross-linking process and further in-situ decorated with Fe₃O₄. Series of Fe₃O₄ decorated aerogels were prepared and the effects of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) on the aerogels were systematic investigated. As-prepared aerogels exhibited desirable properties including nanostructure, relatively high porosity, improved mechanical and superparamagnetism. The TEM results showed that Fe₃O₄ NPs were integrated in the three-dimensional matrix of cellulose/PVA with a diameter of 9–12 nm. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of the aerogels was significantly enhanced after the introduction of Fe₃O₄ NPs. Meanwhile, the obtained Fe₃O₄/cellulose/PVA aerogel exhibited excellent adsorption performance toward methyl blue dye, and can be reused through fenton-like catalysts oxidative degradation of organic dye in H₂O₂ solution. Therefore, they will have a great potential application as eco-friendly and economical adsorbents.     

Reach and messages of the world's largest ivory burn

Recent increases in ivory poaching have depressed African elephant populations. Successful enforcement has led to ivory stockpiling. Stockpile destruction is becoming increasingly popular, and most destruction has occurred in the last 5 years. Ivory destruction is intended to send a strong message against ivory consumption, both in promoting a taboo on ivory use and catalyzing policy change. However, there has been no effort to establish the distribution and extent of media reporting on ivory destruction events globally. We analyzed media coverage of the largest ivory destruction event in history (Kenya, 30 April 2016) across 11 nation states connected to ivory trade. We used an online‐media crawling tool to search online media outlets and subjected 5 of the largest print newspapers (by circulation) in 5 nations of interest to content analysis. Most online news on the ivory burn came from the United States (81% of 1944 articles), whereas most of the print news articles came from Kenya (61% of 157 articles). Eighty‐six to 97% of all online articles reported the burn as a positive conservation action, whereas 4–50% discussed ivory burning as having a negative impact on elephant conservation. Most articles discussed law enforcement and trade bans as effective for elephant conservation. There was more relative search interest globally in the 2016 Kenyan ivory burn than any other burn in 5 years. Ours is the first attempt to track the reach of media coverage relative to an ivory burn and provides a case study in tracking the effects of a conservation‐marketing event.

Information source and valence: How information credibility influences earthquake risk perception

The present research aims at the relationship between information credibility and perception of seismic risk in a group of people living in severe disaster areas. 243 adult residents exposed to seismic hazard participated in a questionnaire study. With respect to four types of information which are generated by information sources and valence, participants were instructed to recall one type of the information they obtained respectively and rate the recalled information in terms of its credibility. After that, they were asked to report their seismic risk perception and all socio-demographic data were also collected. Regression analyses suggested that information credibility significantly influenced risk perception. Furthermore, the credibility of word-of-mouth and negative information were positively associated with risk perception. Meanwhile, risk perception was also affected greatly by the credibility of negative public information but not positive word-of-mouth information. It was clear that both information source and valence moderated the process and the latter exerted a stronger influence on it. The results were interpreted in relation to the elaboration likelihood model, accessibility-diagnosticity model, and other cognitive theories. The findings were discussed in terms of their general implications for the improvement of risk communication about earthquake related messages.     

北京城区冬季空气污染时期C2~C6碳氢化合物含量特征

本研究于2015年冬季,在北京市东南城区开展了C2~C6碳氢化合物大气环境浓度在线监测,研究共检出25种C2~C6碳氢化合物,但鉴于分析仪器的局限性,未包含苯这一重要物种.检出的25种碳氢化合物含量之和(C2~C6 HCs)在12.4~297.5×10~(-9)范围内,不同的空气质量条件下,C2~C6 HCs平均含量分别为29.4×10~(-9)(Ⅰ级,PM_(2.5):35μg·m~(-3))、63.2×10~(-9)(Ⅱ级,PM_(2.5):35~75μg·m~(-3))、85.5×10~(-9)(Ⅲ级,PM_(2.5):75~150μg·m~(-3))、94.9×10~(-9)(Ⅳ级,PM_(2.5):150~250μg·m~(-3))、131.8×10~(-9)(Ⅴ级,PM_(2.5):250μg·m~(-3)),且碳氢化合物的化学组成亦有所差异,烷烃、烯烃、乙炔的摩尔比分别从Ⅰ级条件的47%、45%、7%,变为Ⅴ级条件的59%、30%、12%,烷烃和乙炔的比重上升;烯烃的比重下降.碳氢化合物日变化规律显示,C2~C6 HCs在优良日(PM_(2.5)小时浓度均低于75μg·m~(-3))和污染日(PM_(2.5)小时浓度均高于75μg·m~(-3)),均在08:00~09:00、17:00~18:00存在两个明显的峰值,与日交通峰值时间一致,显示了道路源对局地碳氢化合物浓度的显著影响.通过HCs与CO浓度比值研究,发现随着污染情况的加重,HCs/CO(×10~(-9)/×10~(-6))呈显著下降趋势:90.6(Ⅰ级)、63.8(Ⅱ级)、56.9(Ⅲ级)、37.4(Ⅳ级)、36.4(Ⅴ级).具体化合物与CO比值在污染条件(Ⅲ~Ⅴ)与优良条件(Ⅰ~Ⅱ)的变化率,与各化合物的OH反应速率关联性很差(R=-0.31),由此判断污染时期C2~C6碳氢化合物并未发生强烈的化学衰减.HCs/CO比值变化更多反映了污染源贡献的变化,后向轨迹分析表明,在优良日北京城区多受北部和西北部清洁气团影响,北部地区燃烧源较少,其气团HCs/CO比值较高;而在污染日北京城区受南部和西南部污染气团输送,南部地区工业燃烧源和散煤燃烧源均偏多,其气团HCs/CO值偏低.综上所述,本研究认为重污染过程,北京城区C2~C6碳氢化合物(未包含苯)未体现出显著的化学衰减,碳氢化合物浓度的大幅提升,不仅源于本地污染源的排放累积,还受到南部污染气团的输送贡献.     

东海内陆架沉积物中黑碳分布及其与持久性有机污染物的相关性研究

本文采用化学热氧化法测定了25个东海内陆架表层沉积物中黑碳的含量,探讨了沉积物中黑碳与总有机碳、粒度以及持久性有机污染物之间的关系.结果表明,东海内陆架表层沉积物中黑碳的含量范围为0.21～0.88 mg.g-1.沉积物中黑碳和总有机碳之间没有显著的相关性,表明两者具有不同的来源.区域内沉积物在粒度上有明显的空间分异,黑碳的空间差异则较小,表明黑碳的沉积过程受颗粒物分选过程的影响较小.沉积物中多环芳烃和滴滴涕的含量与黑碳无显著的相关性,可能与东海内陆架环境中强烈的水动力过程和持久性有机污染物来源的复杂性有关.     

PICRUSt2 functionally predicts organic compounds degradation and sulfate reduction pathways in an acidogenic bioreactor

• Over 70% reduction of sulfate was achieved for sulfate less than 12000 mg/L. • The decrease of genes encoding (EC: 1.3.8.1) induced the accumulation of VFAs. • The sulfate reduction genes were primary carried by genus Desulfovibrio. • Sulfate favored assimilatory, but inhibited dissimilatory sulfate reduction process. For comprehensive insights into the influences of sulfate on performance, microbial community and metabolic pathways in the acidification phase of a two-phase anaerobic system, a laboratory-scale acidogenic bioreactor was continuously operated to treat wastewater with elevated sulfate concentrations from 2000 to 14000 mg/L. The results showed that the acidogenic bioreactor could achieve sulfate reduction efficiency of greater than 70% for influent sulfate content less than 12000 mg/L. Increased sulfate induced the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), especially propionate and butyrate, which was the primary negative effects to system performance under the high-sulfate environment. High-throughput sequencing coupled with PICRUSt2 uncovered that the accumulation of VFAs was triggered by the decreasing of genes encoding short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC: 1.3.8.1), regulating the transformation of propanoyl-CoA to propenoyl-CoA and butanoyl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA of propionate and butyrate oxidation pathways, which made these two process hardly proceed. Besides, genes encoding (EC: 1.3.8.1) were mainly carried by order Clostridiales. Desulfovibrio was the most abundant sulfate-reducing bacteria and identified as the primary host of dissimilatory sulfate reduction functional genes. Functional analysis indicated the dissimilatory sulfate reduction process predominated under a low sulfate environment, but was not favored under the circumstance of high-sulfate. With the increase of sulfate, the assimilatory sulfate reduction process finally overwhelmed dissimilatory as the dominant sulfate reduction pathway in acidogenic bioreactor.     

塑料供水管向自来水中释放邻苯二甲酸酯的规律及影响因素研究

添加邻苯二甲酸酯（PAEs）增塑剂的塑料管道被广泛用于自来水管道系统,存在健康风险.然而,塑料管道是否是自来水中PAEs的污染来源仍了解不足.因此,本文探究了两种常用管材—硬质聚氯乙烯（UPVC）、聚丙烯（PPR）的新管道和人为磨损管道,在不同水力停留时间和余氯浓度下向水样中释放PAEs的规律.结果表明,人为磨损会使管道中PAEs向自来水中的总释放量增多,其中,邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（DBP）最为明显,且人为磨损管道释放PAEs的速率大于新管道.对于不同管材的管道,PPR管道PAEs的释放量小于UPVC管道,因而针对PAEs污染,PPR管道可能比UPVC管道更安全.在所有实验中,添加余氯可使水中PAEs浓度整体更低,且余氯浓度越高,平衡时的PAEs浓度越低,因而 推测PAEs可能会与余氯发生化学反应.本研究揭示了塑料管道作为自来水中PAEs的来源之一,向水体中释放PAEs的规律及影响因素,从而为自来水水质安全的控制提供了新的关注点.
