垃圾焚烧发电厂的沥滤液经生化处理后,COD和色度等仍然较高,达不到排放标准,必须进一步进行深度处理。采用自制的箱式四通道电化学反应器对垃圾焚烧发电厂沥滤液生化出水进行深度处理,研究了主要工艺参数——电流密度、表观流速、初始Cl^-浓度、比电极面积等因素对COD和色度去除效果的影响。适宜处理条件为：电流密度20 mA/cm²,反应器内表观流速2.92 cm/s,初始Cl^-浓度4 732 mg/L、比电极面积43.4 m²/m³。在此条件下处理废水10 min,色度就能达到排放要求,处理2 h,COD也能达到排放要求。考察反应器的能耗发现,电化学处理的能耗随电化学处理时间的延长呈不断增大的趋势。

Determination of the herbicide fluroxypyr in oil matrices

The purpose of this study was to develop a method for the determination of fluroxypyr (4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluro2-pyridyloxyacetic acid) residue in palm oil namely crude palm oil (CPO) and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO). The method involves the extraction of the herbicide from the oil matrix followed by low temperature precipitation and finally quantification of the residues using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The extraction efficiency of the method was evaluated by conducting recovery studies. The recovery of fluroxypyr from the fortified CPO samples ranged from 78%–111% with the relative values for the coefficient of variation ranging from 1.4 to 8.6%. Furthermore, the recovery of fluroxypyr from the spiked CPKO samples ranged from 91–107% with the relative values for the coefficient of variation ranging from 0.6 to 4.5%. The minimum detection limit of fluroxypyr in CPO and CPKO was 0.05 μg/g. The method was used to determine fluroxypyr residues from the field-treated samples of CPO and CPKO. When fluroxypyr was used for weed control in oil palm plantations no residue was detected in CPO and CPKO irrespective of the sampling interval and the dosage applied at the recommended or double the manufacturer's recommended dosage.     

Numerical modeling and performance evaluation of passive convergence-permeable reactive barrier (PC-PRB)

● A 2D finite-element solute transport model, PRB-Trans, is developed. ● PC-PRB can significantly improve the remediation efficiency of PRB. ● PC-PRB can considerably reduce the required PRB dimensions and materials costs. ● The required PRB length decreases with the increase of pipe length, L _p. The passive convergence-permeable reactive barrier (PC-PRB) was proposed to address the limitations of traditional PRB configurations. To evaluate the hydraulic and pollutant removal performance of the PC-PRB system, we developed a simulation code named PRB-Trans. This code uses the two-dimensional (2D) finite element method to simulate groundwater flow and solute transport. Case studies demonstrate that PC-PRB technology is more efficient and cost-effective than continuous permeable reactive barrier (C-PRB) in treating the same contaminated plume. Implementation of PC-PRB technology results in a 33.3% and 72.7% reduction in PRB length (L_PRB) and height (H_PRB), respectively, while increasing 2D horizontal and 2D vertical pollutant treatment efficiencies of PRB by 87.8% and 266.8%, respectively. In addition, the PC-PRB technology has the ability to homogenize the pollutant concentration and pollutant flux through the PRB system, which can mitigate the problems arising from uneven distribution of pollutants in the C-PRB to some extent. The L_PRB required for PC-PRB decreases as the water pipe length (L_p) increases, while the H_PRB required initially decreases and then increases with increasing L_p. The effect of passive well height (H_w) on H_PRB is not as significant as that of L_p on H_PRB. Overall, PC-PRB presents a promising and advantageous PRB configuration in the effective treatment of various types of contaminated plumes.     

Photo-induced surface frustrated Lewis pairs for promoted photocatalytic decomposition of perfluorooctanoic acid

● Terminal carboxylate group activation is PFOA degradation’s rate-limiting step. ● Bi₃O(OH)(PO₄)₂ with surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs) efficiently degrade PFOA. ● Photo-induced Lewis acidic sites and proximal surface hydroxyls constitute SFLPs. ● SFLPs act as collection centers to effectively adsorb PFOA. ● SFLPs endow accessible pathways for photogenerated holes rapid transfer to PFOA. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has gained substantial research interest in treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-contaminated water. However, sluggish degradation kinetics and low defluorination efficiency compromise their practical applications. Here, we report a superior photocatalyst, defected Bi₃O(OH)(PO₄)₂, which could effectively degrade typical PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), with high defluorination efficiency. The UV light irradiation could in situ generate oxygen vacancies on Bi₃O(OH)(PO₄)₂ through oxidation of the lattice hydroxyls, which further promotes the formation of Lewis acidic coordinately unsaturated bismuth sites. Then, the Lewis acidic sites couple with the proximal surface hydroxyls to constitute the surface frustrated Lewis pairs (SFLPs). With the in-depth spectroscopic analysis, we revealed that the photo-induced SFLPs act as collection centers to effectively adsorb PFOA and endow accessible pathways to transfer photogenerated holes to PFOA rapidly. Consequently, activation of the terminal carboxyl, a rate-limiting step for PFOA decomposition, could be easily achieved over the defected Bi₃O(OH)(PO₄)₂ photocatalyst. These results suggest that SFLPs exhibit great potential in developing highly efficient photocatalysts to degrade persistent organic pollutants.

Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy for characterization of organic matter in membrane bioreactors: Principles,methods and applications

• Principles and methods for fluorescence EEM are systematically outlined. • Fluorophore peak/region/component and energy information can be extracted from EEM. • EEM can fingerprint the physical/chemical/biological properties of DOM in MBRs. • EEM is useful for tracking pollutant transformation and membrane retention/fouling. • Improvements are still needed to overcome limitations for further studies. The membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is a rising star for wastewater treatment. The pollutant elimination and membrane fouling performances of MBRs are essentially related to the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the system. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy, a powerful tool for the rapid and sensitive characterization of DOM, has been extensively applied in MBR studies; however, only a limited portion of the EEM fingerprinting information was utilized. This paper revisits the principles and methods of fluorescence EEM, and reviews the recent progress in applying EEM to characterize DOM in MBR studies. We systematically introduced the information extracted from EEM by considering the fluorescence peak location/intensity, wavelength regional distribution, and spectral deconvolution (giving fluorescent component loadings/scores), and discussed how to use the information to interpret the chemical compositions, physiochemical properties, biological activities, membrane retention/fouling behaviors, and migration/transformation fates of DOM in MBR systems. In addition to conventional EEM indicators, novel fluorescent parameters are summarized for potential use, including quantum yield, Stokes shift, excited energy state, and fluorescence lifetime. The current limitations of EEM-based DOM characterization are also discussed, with possible measures proposed to improve applications in MBR monitoring.     

Polyclonal antibody-based indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for screening of paclobutrazol in fruits

Abstract

Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a plant growth regulator (PGR) widely used in fruit and vegetable cultivation. However, due to the severe toxicity of PBZ, a sub-ppm level maximum residue limit (MRL) was established worldwide. Therefore, it is significant to propose a rapid, sensitive and high throughput screening method for monitoring the PBZ residues in foods. In this study, a simple and sensitive indirect competitive Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) was established for PBZ detection in fruits basing polyclonal antibody. For both economy and pollution prevention, a microwave-solvent-free method was used to synthesize the PBZ hapten with high efficiency. The detection conditions, such as coating antigen concentration, antibody concentration, organic reagent concentration, ionic strength and pH, were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, this method showed high sensitivity and specificity. The detection range is 1.27-138.23?ng/mL, half-maximum inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) is 13.26?ng/mL, and the IC₂₀ was lower than the reported ELISAs for PBZ. Additionally, this method had high accuracy and precision. The recoveries were ranged from 88.78% to 96.80% in PBZ spiked apple samples with RSD below 4%. All the results showed that the polyclonal antibody based icELISA could be useful for PBZ screening in fruit samples.
