盐生植物群落与土壤含盐量的关系及对土壤盐分的指示作用

黄河三角洲有着的丰富的荒地资源，通过对河口区的野外调查和实验室分析表明，其盐生植被与盐荒地土壤含盐量相关性明显。随土壤含盐量的增加，种植种类逐渐减少，群落总盖度降低，而耐盐强度大的翅碱蓬逐渐成为优势种。利用盐生植物群落的结构特征和优势植物叶的氯硫比，可以指示土壤含盐量，为盐荒土壤的改良利用提供科学依据。

Adsorption and partition of benzo(a)pyrene on sediments with different particle sizes from the Yellow River

Experiments have been carried out to study the sorption of Benzo(a)pyrene(Bap) on sediment particles from the Yellow River using a batch equilibration technique. Effects of particle size on the adsorption and partition of Bap were investigated with the particle content of 3 g/L. Several significant results were obtained from the study. (1) Isotherms of Bap could be fitted with the dual adsorption-partition model under different particle sizes, and the measured value of the adsorption and partition was in agreement with the theoretical value of the dual adsorption-partition model. (2) When the particle diameter was d ⩾ 0.025 mm, the adsorption was predominant in the sorption of Bap, which accounted for 68.7%–82.4% of the sorption. For the particles with the size of 0.007 mm⩽d<0.025 mm, the adsorption was predominant when the equilibrium concentration of Bap was 0–8.87 μg/L in the water phase; and the partition was predominant when the equilibrium concentration of Bap was higher than 8.87 μg/L in the water phase. When the particle diameter was d<0.007 mm, the partition was predominant. (3) On the point of particle size, the contribution of adsorption to sorption followed the order: “d⩾0.025 mm”>“0.007 mm ⩽d<0.025 mm” >“d<0.007 mm”. (4) The partition coefficients of Bap in solids with different particle sizes were linearly correlated with the organic content, and the K _oc of Bap was about 1.26 × 10⁵ (L/kg).

Evaluating factors that influence microbial phenanthrene biodegradation rates by regression with categorical variables

To advance the accuracy of bioremediation measurements, it is useful before specific experiments to attribute or estimate the influence of both experimental as well as field conditions on the expected magnitudes of microbial degradation rate coefficients. This paper analyzes the numerical contribution, or influence, of categories of conditions, such as bacterial adaptive state, electron acceptor type, mixing, generalized sorption conditions, and biodegradation temperature, on published phenanthrene biodegradation rates as an example of our regression approach. A fundamental microbial degradation rate equation is transformed to an additive model, then using multiple linear regression on published data, coefficients (of categorical variables) and a linear model are presented that estimate first-order biodegradation rate coefficients to within a factor of 3. Numerical estimates of how much bacterial adaptive state and presence of a sorption phase, the two most statistically significant factors, alter the phenanthrene biodegradation rate are presented. The influence of some measurement or field conditions, for example, the influence of oxygen reduction versus optimal nitrate reduction, cannot be distinguished statistically given the available data and range. The regression model is tested using conditions from newly published papers to estimate a priori the expected rate, which compares very favorably to measurements reported in the papers. Due to limited published data and range for extreme cases, the current coefficients do not apply to degradation of very aged phenanthrene nor very low concentrations of electron acceptors. As estimating tools, however, the coefficients themselves and the regression approach have very beneficial roles in design of experiments for both laboratory and field settings. Our method can be applied to other PAHs as sufficient data become available.     

Production of reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine in KB cells co-exposed to benzo[a]pyrene and UV-A radiation

Previous studies have shown that ultraviolet (UV) A light and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) can synergistically enhance the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in living cells. It has been postulated that the underlying mechanism is production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via photosensitization, but direct evidence supporting this hypothesis has been lacking. This study examined intracellular ROS production in living cells co-exposed to UV-A and BaP as well as the relationship between intracellular production of ROS and formation of 8-OHdG. KB cells were exposed to BaP for 24 h, followed by exposure to UV-A (365 nm) or UV-B (312 nm). The levels of intracellular ROS were directly measured by use of the fluorescent probe dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR-123) in flow cytometry. Levels of 8-OHdG were measured by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). The results demonstrated that UV-B itself induced a much greater level of intracellular ROS than did UV-A alone under the same dose of energy (0.10 mW/cm(2), 20 min). The presence of BaP (13.3 microM) substantially increased ROS production in UV-A-treated cells (2.9-fold), but only slightly enhanced ROS production in UV-B-treated cells (1.3-fold). These results show that BaP acts mainly as a photosensitizer of UV-A, but not UV-B. Furthermore, greater intracellular ROS production was proportional to both BaP concentration and UV-A dosage. There was a linear relationship between ROS production and 8-OHdG formation in cells co-exposed to BaP and UV-A. Results of this study suggest that UV-A and BaP act synergistically to enhance ROS production and formation of 8-OHdG, resulting in increased DNA damage.

Response of peroxidase and catalase to acid rain stress during seed germination of rice, wheat, and rape

Seed germination of plants with various acid-resistance display different responses to acid rain. To understand the reason why such differences occur, the effects of simulated acid rain (pH 2.5–5.0) on the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) during seed germination of rice (O. sativa), wheat (T. aestivum), and rape (B. chinensis var. oleifera) were investigated. Results indicated that the maximum change in activities of CAT and POD by acid rain treatment with different acidity and time in relation to the referent treatment without acid rain, was in the order: rice (28.8%, 31.7%) < wheat (34.7%, 48.3%) < rape (79.3%, 50.0%). The pH level for which the treatment with acid rain did not cause significant difference (p < 0.05) was in the order: rice (3.5).wheat (4.0).rape (5.0). Moreover, the change in activity of POD was higher than that of CAT, which showed that POD was more sensitive to acid rain stress than CAT. The difference in the ability of POD and CAT in removing free radicals was one reason why the germination indexes of these three species behaved differently. __________ Translated from Environmental Science, 2005, 26(6): 123–125 [译自: 环境科学]

Adsorption-oxidation of hydrogen sulfide on Fe/walnut-shell activated carbon surface modified by NH3-plasma

Walnut-shell activated carbon(WSAC) supported ferric oxide was modified by non-thermal plasma(NTP), and the removal efficiency for hydrogen sulfide over Fe/WSAC modified by dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) was significantly promoted. The sample modified for10 min and 6.8 k V output(30 V input voltage) maintained 100% H2 S conversion over a long reaction time of 390 min. The surface properties of adsorbents modified by NTP under different conditions were evaluated by the methods of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET) analysis and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), to help understand the effect of the NTP treatment. NTP treatment enhanced the adsorption capacity of Fe/WSAC, which could due to the formation of micro-pores with sizes of0.4, 0.5 and 0.75 nm. XPS revealed that chemisorbed oxygen changed into lattice oxygen after NTP treatment, and lattice oxygen is beneficial for H2 S oxidation. From the in-situ FTIR result,transformation of the reaction path on Fe/WSAC was observed after NTP modification. The research results indicate that NTP is an effective method to improve the surface properties of the Fe/WSAC catalyst for H2 S adsorption-oxidation.
