Enhanced degradation of trichloroethene by calcium peroxide activated with Fe(III) in the presence of citric acid

Trichloroethene (TCE) degradation by Fe(III)-activated calcium peroxide (CP) in the presence of citric acid (CA) in aqueous solution was investigated. The results demonstrated that the presence of CA enhanced TCE degradation significantly by increasing the concentration of soluble Fe(III) and promoting H₂O₂ generation. The generation of HO? and O₂^-? in both the CP/Fe(III) and CP/Fe(III)/CA systems was confirmed with chemical probes. The results of radical scavenging tests showed that TCE degradation was due predominantly to direct oxidation by HO?, while O₂^-? strengthened the generation of HO? by promoting Fe(III) transformation in the CP/Fe(III)/CA system. Acidic pH conditions were favorable for TCE degradation, and the TCE degradation rate decreased with increasing pH. The presence of Cl^-, HCO₃^-, and humic acid (HA) inhibited TCE degradation to different extents for the CP/Fe(III)/CA system. Analysis of Cl^- production suggested that TCE degradation in the CP/Fe(III)/CA system occurred through a dechlorination process. In summary, this study provided detailed information for the application of CA-enhanced Fe(III)-activated calcium peroxide for treating TCE contaminated groundwater.     

Effects of bicarbonate and cathode potential on hydrogen production in a biocathode electrolysis cell

A biocathode with microbial catalyst in place of a noble metal was successfully developed for hydrogen evolution in a microbial electrolysis cell （MEC）. The strategy for fast biocathode cultivation was demonstrated. An exoelectrogenic reaction was initially extended with an H2-full atmosphere to enrich Ha-utilizing bacteria in a MEC bioanode. This bioanode was then inversely polarized with an applied voltage in a half-cell to enrich the hydrogen-evolving biocathode. The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction （HER） kinetics of the biocathode MEC could be enhanced by increasing the bicarbonate buffer concentration from 0.05 mol·L-1 to 0.5 mol· L-1 and/or by decreasing the cathode potential from -0.9 V to - 1.3 V vs. a saturated calomel electrode （SCE）. Within the tested potential region in this study, the HER rate of the biocathode MEC was primarily influenced by the microbial catalytic capability. In addition, increasing bicarbonate concentration enhances the electric migration rate of proton carriers. As a consequence, more mass H＋ can be released to accelerate the biocathode-catalyzed HER rate. A hydrogen production rate of 8.44 m3. m 3. d1 with a current density of 951.6 A. m-3 was obtained using the biocathode MEC under a cathode potential of - 1.3 V vs. SCE and 0.4 mol· L-1 bicarbonate. This study provided information on the optimization of hydrogen production in biocathode MEC and expanded the practical applications thereof.

邕江南宁市区段表层沉积物典型抗生素污染特征

利用超声提取、固相萃取和HPLC-MS/MS分析方法对邕江南宁市区段沉积物典型抗生素污染进行研究,结果表明,大环内酯类、磺胺类和甲氧苄氨嘧啶10种抗生素中共检出9种,抗生素总浓度范围为1.08~30.84ng/g(均值5.84ng/g).大环内酯类抗生素检出率达100%,为邕江的主要抗生素污染物,平均含量为1.14ng/g,分布上呈现邕江下游>中游>上游的趋势;磺胺和甲氧苄氨嘧啶类抗生素检出率为43%.其中磺胺类抗生素平均含量低于0.06ng/g,甲氧苄氨嘧啶(TMP)平均含量为1.00ng/g,分布上则为上游>下游>中游.来源分析表明生活污水及医疗废水的排放是下游沉积物大环内酯类抗生素含量较高的主要原因,而畜禽和水产养殖则是上游磺胺和甲氧苄氨嘧啶污染的主要来源.总体来说,与国内外河流相比,邕江抗生素含量尚处于较低水平,但抗生素抗性基因污染不容忽视.

年1—7月在北京市西三环航天桥地区,用大流量分级采样器分5级采集大气颗粒物样品,采用溶剂提取和衍生化方法对样品进行前处理,利用GC-MS分析不同粒径颗粒物中的有机脂肪酸. 结果表明:在颗粒物中共检出21种MOA(一元有机脂肪酸)和7种DIA(二元有机脂肪酸);ρ(∑₂₁MOA)(21种MOA总质量浓度)和ρ(∑₇DIA)(7种DIA总质量浓度)均在粒径<0.69μm的超细颗粒中最高,分别约占各自5级颗粒物质量浓度总和的30.0%和32.5%;颗粒物中ρ(∑₂₁MOA)和ρ(∑₇DIA)月际变化规律不同,前者在1—2月最高,3月次之;而后者在5—7月最高. MOA和DIA的组成、分布特点亦不尽相同,其中C₁₀~C₂₄的MOA表现出明显的偶数碳优势,而DIA没有显现奇偶优势;MOA中ρ(C₁₆-MOA)最高,ρ(C₁₈-MOA)次之;DIA中ρ(壬二酸)最高. 基于MOA的C₁₈/C₁₆〔ρ(C₁₈-MOA)/ρ(C₁₆-MOA)〕和CPI(碳优先指数)分析表明,颗粒物中MOA主要来自人为源,与燃煤排放、机动车尾气及烹调排放相关,1—2月燃煤排放对颗粒物中MOA的贡献明显.      

A review of spatial and temporal assessment of PFOS and PFOA contamination in China

The current state of concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in China is presented. While products that are known to degrade to either PFOS or PFOA have been used in China, concentrations in environmental media have been reported to be relatively low across China. Greater concentrations of PFOS and PFOA were observed in southern and eastern China than in other areas of China. Concentrations of PFOS and PFOA were relatively great in the Huangpu River, with concentrations of 20.5 ng l^?1 and 1590 ng l^?1, respectively. Surface waters of Dongguan and Shanghai were more contaminated by PFOS and PFOA than that of other cities. Dongguan was the only city in China in which PFOS value in surface water exceeded the water quality criterion, while PFOA concentration in Shanghai was 152 ng l^?1. Similar to other contaminants, point-source pollution was also the common pattern of PFOS and PFOA contamination. Concentrations of PFOS in human blood in China were relatively greater in China than other countries, with drinking water contamination given as the most likely source. Concentrations of PFOS in human blood have increased from the 1980s to the 2000s, while such a trend was not observed for PFOA.     

模拟氮沉降对兴安落叶松林凋落物分解的影响

试验施加NH4NO3、KNO3和NH4Cl3种氮肥,设置对照（N0,0 kg·hm-2·a-1）、低氮（N1,10 kg·hm-2·a-1）、中氮（N2,20kg·hm-2·a-1）、高氮（N3,40 kg·hm-2·a-1）4个施氮水平,通过交互试验,研究模拟N沉降对大兴安岭兴安落叶松（Larix gmelinii）林凋落物分解的影响。结果表明,在兴安落叶松林凋落物分解过程中,叶分解最快,其次是枝,分解最慢的为果,在分解16个月后,枝、叶、果的质量残留率分别为76.68%、47.98%和80.43%,3者异极其显著（p〈0.01）。凋落物叶分解95%所需时间为6.71 a,而枝和果所需时间分别为18.07和18.10 a。在模拟大气氮沉降下凋落物分解过程中,施加KNO3,N2处理下的枝、叶、果的质量残留率极显著低于N3处理（p〈0.01）,显著低于N0和N1处理。施加NH4Cl下,N1处理显著低于N0处理（p〈0.05）。在施加NH4NO3下,N1水平处理下的枝、叶、果的分解速率显著增加（p〈0.05）,但是随着施氮量的增加,分解速率就会减慢,N3处理下,有着明显的抑制作用（p〈0.05）,说明氮沉降对于凋落物分解有着促进作用,但是随着时间和氮沉降量的增加,促进作用延缓甚至是抑制作用。
