Effect of humic acids on physicochemical property and Cd(II) sorption of multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Zinc pyrithione is used as an antifouling agent. However, the environmental impacts of zinc pyrithione have recently been of concern. Zinc induces diverse actions during oxidative stress; therefore, we examined the effect of zinc pyrithione on rat thymocytes suffering from oxidative stress using appropriate fluorescent probes. The cytotoxicity of zinc pyrithione was not observed when the cells were incubated with 3 μM zinc pyrithione for 3 h. However, zinc pyrithione at nanomolar concentrations (10 nM or more) significantly increased the lethality of cells suffering from oxidative stress induced by 3 mM H₂O₂. The application of zinc pyrithione alone at nanomolar concentrations increased intracellular Zn²⁺ level and the cellular content of superoxide anions, and decreased the cellular content of nonprotein thiols. The simultaneous application of nanomolar zinc pyrithione and micromolar H₂O₂ synergistically increased the intracellular Zn²⁺ level. Therefore, zinc pyrithione at nanomolar concentrations may exert severe cytotoxic action on cells simultaneously exposed to chemicals that induce oxidative stress. If so, zinc pyrithione leaked from antifouling materials into surrounding environments would be a risk factor for aquatic ecosystems. Alternatively, zinc pyrithione under conditions of oxidative stress may become more potent antifouling ingredient.     

Catalytic destruction of pentachlorobenzene in simulated flue gas by a V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalyst

Pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) in simulated flue gas was destructed by a commercial V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂ catalyst in this study. The effects of reaction temperature, oxygen concentration, space velocity and some co-existing pollutants on PeCB conversion were investigated. Furthermore, a possible mechanism for the oxidation of PeCB over the vanadium oxide on the catalysts was proposed. Results show that the increase of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and the decrease of operating temperature both resulted in the decrease of PeCB removal over the catalyst, while the effect of the oxygen content in the range of 5-20% (v/v) on PeCB conversion was negligible. PeCB decomposition could be obviously affected by the denitration reactions under the conditions because of the positive effect of NO but negative effect of NH₃. The introduction of SO₂ caused the catalyst poisoning, probably due to the sulfur-containing species formed and deposited on the catalyst surface. The PeCB molecules were first adsorbed on the catalyst surface, and then oxidized into the non-aromatic acyclic intermediates, low chlorinated aromatics and maleic anhydride.     

初沉污泥球磨破解后水解酸化研究

采用球磨机对污水处理厂初沉池的污泥进行球磨破解以控制初沉污泥粒径,然后在不同条件下(污泥粒径、系统pH、污泥投配率)考察初沉污泥的水解酸化效果(以溶解性COD(SCOD)变化显示),以确定初沉污泥水解酸化的最佳条件。结果表明,初沉污泥的最佳水解酸化条件为:污泥粒径25μm、系统pH 11、污泥投配率10%、水解酸化时间5d,此时反应后系统SCOD为8 256mg/L,污泥水解转化效率为32.0%。通过球磨破解、水解酸化的方式回收初沉污泥中的碳源具有一定的可行性和较好的开发利用前景。采用球磨机作为污水处理厂初沉污泥预处理的装置,与其他方法如超声波法、热处理法等相比较,具有适应力强、操作可靠、运行简单等优点。     

3种植物对Cd污染农田土壤的修复效果比较试验研究

通过盆栽试验研究了3种植物三叶鬼针草(Bidens pilosa L.)、紫茉莉(Mirabilis Jalapa)、中华景天(Sedum polytrich-oides)对上海地区2种质量浓度(1.2、12.0mg/kg)Cd污染农田土壤的修复效果,以探索其在上海地区Cd污染农田土壤修复中应用的可行性。结果表明:2种浓度下,三叶鬼针草对土壤Cd去除效果均最佳,1.2mg/kg处理下盆中土壤Cd质量浓度由原来的1.249 9mg/kg下降到0.861 7mg/kg,降低0.388 2mg/kg,Cd去除率为31.06%;12.0mg/kg处理下三叶鬼针草盆中土壤Cd质量浓度由原来的12.033 2mg/kg下降到10.020 6mg/kg,降低2.012 6mg/kg,Cd去除率为16.73%;紫茉莉和中华景天相比较而言,修复效果均较差。在2种浓度下,3种植物地上部分生物量排序均为三叶鬼针草>中华景天>紫茉莉。因此,建议将三叶鬼针草作为上海地区Cd污染农田土壤修复的优选植物。     

并流旋转床气体出口压降数值分析

气体出口是旋转床的重要组成部分,对旋转床流场与气相压降有着重要的影响。研究并流旋转床结构、构建气体出口物理模型,利用RNG k-ε湍流模型,探索不同气体出口结构对并流旋转床流场的影响。模拟结果表明:具有4个切向气体出口的DCRPB3615型旋转床有利于旋转床内速度分布均匀、降低湍动能,减小气相压降。模拟与实验对比表明,DCRPB3615压降比单一径向出口的CRPB3615型旋转床降低10%左右。

基于GCM_CB模型的土壤重金属污染评价

灰色聚类法已经运用于土壤重金属污染评价中,然而此法在确定聚类权重时仅考虑重金属浓度,忽略了衡量重金属毒性强弱的重要指标生物毒性指数。为了更客观和准确地反映土壤重金属的污染程度,将生物毒性指数引入到聚类指标权重中,构建GCM_CB(grey clustering method_concentration and biotoxicity)土壤重金属污染评价模型。通过对华东某地区的10个区域土壤重金属污染进行分析评价,并与常用评价方法对比研究,表明:其多数样点的评价结果基本一致,但针对样品4和样品9中的元素Hg,因其强毒性,使得评价等级由I级定为II级,从而提高了评价方法的灵敏度,更加符合该区域的实际土壤污染情况。
