Immobilization of fungal laccase onto a nonionic surfactant-modified clay material: application to PAH degradation

Nonionic surfactant-modified clay is a useful absorbent material that effectively removes hydrophobic organic compounds from soil/groundwater. We developed a novel material by applying an immobilized fungal laccase onto nonionic surfactant-modified clay. Low-water-solubility polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (naphthalene/phenanthrene) were degraded in the presence of this bioactive material. PAH degradation by free laccase was higher than degradation by immobilized laccase when the surfactant concentration was allowed to form micelles. PAH degradation by immobilized laccase on TX-100-modified clay was higher than on Brij35-modified clay. Strong laccase degradation of PAH can be maintained by adding surfactant monomers or micelles. The physical adsorption of nonionic surfactants onto clay plays an important role in PAH degradation by laccase, which can be explained by the structure and molecular interactions of the surfactant with the clay and enzyme. A system where laccase is immobilized onto TX-100-monomer-modified clay is a good candidate bioactive material for in situ PAHs bioremediation.     

表面活性剂对叶面滞尘作用的影响

表面活性剂能够增强植物叶面滞尘能力,研究不同表面活性剂对植物滞尘能力的影响,对于利用植物防治粉尘污染有重要意义。以LAS、DTAB、AR和APG200为喷洒试剂,研究了8种植物吸附表面活性剂后滞留粉尘的重量、组分。结果表明,LAS浓度、植物种类、表面活性剂类型对滞尘量和面积比具有显著影响(P<0.05);表面活性剂能够有效提高植物滞尘能力,LAS、DTAB效果优于生物型AR、APG200,且测试叶面滞尘量的变化与叶面接触角无明显关系;LAS使除朴树外所有植物的滞尘能力增加的浓度为0.2 g/L,而对滞留粉尘组分改变较大的浓度为0.5 g/L;此外,表面活性剂能改变滞留粉尘的组分,但不具有明显的规律性,粉尘的遮光比变化趋势与叶面滞尘量基本相似。     

化学氧化技术在地下水修复中的应用

近年来,化学氧化技术在地下水修复中得到了很大的关注。本研究对比了Fenton试剂、过硫酸钠、高锰酸钾及次氯酸钠4种常见的氧化剂对农药厂地下水中污染物的去除效果、地下水的pH和氧化还原电位(ORP)的变化的影响。结果表明,Fenton试剂和活化的过硫酸钠对此农药厂地下水各种污染物的去除率最高,两者对其中污染物都能达到80%以上的去除率,但在一定程度上会使地下水的pH降低;高锰酸钾和次氯酸钠对污染物的去除率都能达60%以上。其中高锰酸钾对地下水的pH影响不大;次氯酸钠对氯甲苯没有去除效果,对溴苯的去除率也较低,而且会使地下水的碱性过强。在地下水样中加入4种氧化剂后,会使水样的ORP立即升高。     

Zinc tolerance and accumulation in Pteris vittata L. and its potential for phytoremediation of Zn- and As-contaminated soil

A field investigation and pot experiments were conducted to determine the potential of arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator, Pteris vittata L., to remediate sites co-contaminated with zinc (Zn) and As. We found that P. vittata L. had a very high tolerance to Zn and grew normally at sites with high Zn concentrations. In addition, P. vittata L. could effectively take up Zn into its fronds, with a maximum of 737 mg kg(-1) under field conditions. In pot experiments, the accumulated Zn concentration increased significantly as the Zn treatment was raised from 0 to 2000 mg kg(-1), with a maximum Zn accumulation of 0.22 mg pot(-1). Although the concentration of As in P. vittata L. was reduced by the addition of Zn, total frond accumulation of As was elevated when the Zn treatment was increased from 0 to 1000 mg kg(-1), with a maximum As accumulation of 8.3 mg pot(-1) in the presence of 1000 mg kg(-1) Zn. The high Zn tolerance, relatively high ability to accumulate Zn, and great capacity to accumulate As under conditions of suppression by high Zn suggest that P. vittata L. could be useful for the remediation of sites co-contaminated with Zn and As.     

沸石对降雨径流中氨氮的吸附特性

城市面源污染是重要水体污染源之一,降雨发生时,雨水径流会携带累积在路面、屋面的含有机物、氮磷、重金属等污染物质进入水体,其中氮磷是造成水体富营养化的重要因素。针对这一情况,采用不同种类沸石,对雨水径流中的氮磷进行了吸附研究,着重考察了沸石对氨氮的吸附动力学,吸附等温线特征,并考察了pH、共存阳离子以及COD对吸附能力的影响。结果表明,Na型改性沸石吸附性能优于其他2种,饱和吸附量达到9.09 mg/g,沸石的吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型。Mg2+、Ca2+对Na型改性沸石的影响较大,Na型改性沸石吸附氨氮的适宜pH为5~8。本研究为探索用物化方法来处理雨水提供了依据,Na型改性沸石可以作为吸附雨水中氨氮的优选吸附剂。

Integrating purifiers in refinery hydrogen networks: a retrofit case study

Hydrogen is an important utility in the production of clean fuels such as low-sulfur gasoline and diesel. The shortage of hydrogen resource motivates the integrated management of hydrogen networks with purifiers. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach for the retrofit design of these hydrogen networks. By establishing a state-space superstructure, all possible placements of existing compressors and purifiers are incorporated in the proposed MINLP model. Total annual cost (TAC) is employed as the optimizing object to understand the trade-offs between operating cost and capital cost. A real refinery system near Shanghai of China city is used to illustrate the applicability of the approach.

Assessment on the pollution of nitrogen and phosphorus of Beijing surface water based on GIS system and multivariate statistical approaches

This paper presented the characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in Beijing surface water during the survey. A significant difference was found out in concentration distribution of various parameters of nitrogen and phosphorus. Most water bodies in five water systems were polluted by total nitrogen with the content even up to 120 mg/L which was higher than exceeded the fifth class standard of national surface water quality standard GB3838-2002 except for several segments of Chaobaihe and Yongdinghe. Ammonia and phosphorus showed a similar tendency of distribution with higher content in Daqinghe, Beiyunhe and Jiyunhe water systems, but with relatively low concentrations in Chaobaihe and Yongdinghe water systems. Meanwhile, nitrate was found at comparatively low content (mostly less than 10 mg/L) and could fit for corresponding water quality requirements. Totally, the water quality of Daqinghe, Jiyunhe and Beiyunhe river systems as well as the lower reaches of Yongdinghe and Chaobaihe was contaminated seriously with high content of total nitrogen and phosphorus. Through multivariate statistical approaches, it can be concluded that total nitrogen, ammonia and total phosphorus was highly correlated to chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen and electrical conductivity,which explained the same pollution source from anthropogenic activities.
