Mercury oxidation and adsorption characteristics of potassium permanganate modified lignite semi-coke

The adsorption characteristics of virgin and potassium permanganate modified lignite semi-coke (SC) for gaseous Hg⁰ were investigated in an attempt to produce more effective and lower price adsorbents for the control of elemental mercury emission. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the surface physical and chemical properties of SC, Mn-SC and Mn-H-SC before and after mercury adsorption. The results indicated that potassium permanganate modification had significant influence on the properties of semi-coke, such as the specific surface area, pore structure and surface chemical functional groups. The mercury adsorption efficiency of modified semi-coke was lower than that of SC at low temperature, but much higher at high temperature. Amorphous Mn⁷⁺, Mn⁶⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ on the surface of Mn-SC and Mn-H-SC were the active sites for oxidation and adsorption of gaseous Hg⁰, which oxidized the elemental mercury into Hg²⁺ and captured it. Thermal treatment reduced the average oxidation degree of Mn^x+ on the surface of Mn-SC from 3.80 to 3.46. However, due to the formation of amorphous MnO_x, the surface oxidation active sites for gaseous Hg⁰ increased, which gave Mn-H-SC higher mercury adsorption efficiency than that of Mn-SC at high temperature.

硝基苯类化合物生物降解菌的筛选及性能研究,是制药、染料等行业废水达标的重要基础。以浓度梯度升高法筛选到一株硝基苯厌氧降解菌Klebsiella oxytoca NBA-1。考察了该菌对氧气的需求,以及在厌氧条件下,温度、pH值、外加葡萄糖及硝基苯初始浓度等环境因子对菌株降解硝基苯能力的影响,并进一步讨论菌株对氯取代硝基苯类化合物的降解情况。结果表明,该菌在厌氧条件下生长比好氧条件下慢,但降解速度更快;厌氧降解硝基苯的最佳pH值和温度和分别为8．3和30～35℃;加入0．3％～0．5％的葡萄糖可促进降解,且对300mg／L以下的硝基苯均有降解能力;该菌能将4-氯硝基苯转化为4-氯苯胺,并进一步脱氯为苯胺。研究结果可为硝基苯及含氯硝基苯的处理工艺选择提供相关的参考依据。     

大气CO2浓度升高对红三叶和高丹草Cs、K竞争吸收与转运的影响

水培条件下,研究了大气CO2浓度升高对红三叶(Trifolium Pratene L.)和高丹草(Sorhum vulgare x Sorghum.vulgare var.sudanense hybrids)在不同铯(Cs)浓度(0、200、500、1000μmol·L-1)下生物量、铯和钾的竞争吸收及转运的影响.结果表明,大气CO2浓度升高显著提高了2种植物叶、茎和根各部位的生物量,其中,红三叶各部生物量分别提高了42.6%、66.2%和45.0%,高丹草分别提高了17.4%、18.9%和22.3%.大气CO2浓度升高提高了红三叶和高丹草叶片及茎中的Cs含量,提升比例最大的为红三叶的茎(达9.7%),同时显著提高了2种植物对Cs的转运系数及红三叶的茎和根中Cs/K的区别系数.对于红三叶,大气CO2浓度升高引起叶片K含量略微增加,而茎和根系中K含量显著降低;对于高丹草,大气CO2浓度升高引起叶片和茎中K含量增加,而根系中K含量降低.2种植物对Cs的吸收都与介质中Cs浓度呈显著的线性相关,溶液中Cs浓度的增加提高了红三叶和高丹草的Cs/K区别系数,并且Cs的添加不仅对红三叶和高丹草的生物量都起到了一定的抑制作用,同时还降低了2种植物对钾的吸收.在正常的CO2浓度下,1000μmol·L-1Cs处理可使2种植物叶、茎和根中的K含量分别降低10.4%、13.3%、32.5%(红三叶)和18.3%、42.1%和38.9%(高丹草);在大气CO2浓度升高的条件下,分别降低12.2%、22.0%、35.0%(红三叶)和17.9%、38.7%、34.6%(高丹草).     

Human and organizational error data challenges in complex,large-scale systems

In complex, large-scale systems, event analyses are constrained by the quality of the data gathered, the maturity of the associated reporting system, and the training and background of the investigator and reporter. Such constraints place limits on the adequacy and strength of analyses conducted with the data. In this paper, we focus on the challenges of measuring performance variability in complex systems, using the lens of human and organizational error modeling. This paper begins with an overview of human and organizational error assessments, and then introduces the particular challenges of data needs in human reliability analyses. A case study of human and organizational error analysis in a complex, large-scale system, marine transportation in Puget Sound, is used to illustrate the impact of the data challenges on risk assessment processes. Suggestions for future research conclude the paper.

Evolution of chemical composition of fogwater in winter in Chengdu, China

Two sampling sites representing the urban and suburban area of Chengdu, China were sampled and analyzed for selected chemicals to characterize the evolution of the chemical composition of fogwater. A trend of total organic carbon (TOC) > total nitrogen (TN) > total inorganic carbon (TIC) was observed for both sites. Variation of inorganic ions indicated that inorganic pollutants were not accumulated in the fog. Concentrations of n-alkanes (C11-C37) at the urban site ranged from 7.58 to 27.75 ng/mL while at the suburban site concentrations were 2.57-21.55 ng/mL. The highest concentration of n-alkanes was observed in the mature period of fog (393.12 ng/mL) which was more than ten times that in the fog formation period (27.83 ng/mL) and the fog dissipation period (14.87 ng/mL). Concentrations of Σ15PAHs were in the range of 7.27-38.52 ng/mL at the urban site and 2.59-22.69 ng/mL at the suburban site. Contents of PAHs in the mature period of fog (27.15 ng/mL) > fog dissipation period (11.59 ng/mL) > fog formation period (6.42 ng/mL). Concentrations of dicarboxylic acids (C5-C9) ranged from 10.92 to 40.78 ng/mL, with glutaric acid (C5) as the dominant dicarboxylic acid. These data provide strong indications of the accumulation of certain organic chemicals of environmental concern in fog and fog water, and provide additional insights about processes in urban and suburban air acting on organic chemicals with similar physical chemical properties.     

龙塘镇电子垃圾拆解区土壤和河流底泥重金属赋存形态及生态风险

龙塘镇是珠三角电子垃圾拆解区之一,采用AAS方法对该地土壤和河流底泥沉积物中5种重金属(Cd、Cr、Cu、Zn和Pb)含量进行测定分析,结果显示周围农田土壤中Cd含量是《国家土壤质量标准》二级标准的3倍左右,是广东省土壤背景值的20倍左右;拆解区土壤Cd超标最为严重,最高达5.67倍,超过广东省土壤背景值达36.17倍;拆解区下游0—1500 m河流底泥中Cd、Cr、Cu、Zn和Pb含量大幅增加且部分金属超标,Cd在0—40 cm深度内含量总体逐渐降低,仍远超背景值,Cu含量采样深度内递减规律最显著且在0—10 cm内含量超标,Cr、Zn和Pb除部分点位在表层积累较多外,其余与背景值相差不大且未超标.采用BCR(the Community Bureau of Reference)法提取重金属不同形态可知,底泥中Cd主要以弱酸溶态和可还原态为主,Cu主要以可氧化态存在,Cr主要以残渣态存在,而Zn和Pb则以可还原态为主;其中Cd的可提取态比例较高(60%),容易释放出来形成"二次污染".潜在生态风险结果表明,河流底泥中Cd生态危害程度属于极强(Ei320);其他金属Cr、Cu、Zn和Pb危害风险程度属于轻微(Ei40);金属Cd对整个RI值贡献最大(88%),应重点加强对Cd污染的防控.     

纳米零价铁物相转变对砷污染土壤稳定化效果和潜在毒性的影响

为探究纳米零价铁团聚作用和氧化反应等物相转变对土壤中砷的稳定化效果和潜在毒性影响机制,选择纳米零价铁以及其可能的物相转变产物,包括微米零价铁、纳米级Fe₂O₃、微米级Fe₂O₃、纳米级Fe₃O₄等,通过室内模拟实验,研究纳米零价铁物相转变对砷污染土壤稳定化效果和潜在毒性的影响。结果表明:1)相比而言,纳米Fe0对土壤中砷的稳定化效率最优,当其添加量为5%时,水溶性砷含量由稳定化处理前的2.20 mg/kg降至0.11 mg/kg,稳定化效率为94.90%,同时,砷的环境风险由处理前的中等风险降至无风险;2)由浸出实验结果可知,团聚作用引起纳米零价铁向微米零价铁转变时,其对砷稳定化效率的影响并不显著(P>0.05);3)由植物毒性实验可知,纳米零价铁的团聚和氧化作用产物均会抑制油菜籽根系生长,影响种子相对根长,而对种子发芽率和种子发芽率指数无抑制作用;4)基于形态分析、植物毒性和风险分析可知,微米级Fe₂O₃和纳米级Fe₃O₄对土壤中砷的稳定化效率较低,稳定化处理后仍有一定环境风险。因此,在实际修复过程中,纳米零价铁物相转变引起土壤中砷的环境风险变化值得关注。
