真空紫外辐照法降解水中丁基黄原酸钾的影响因素及动力学模型

黄原酸盐是常用的有色金属硫化矿浮选剂，进入环境后会造成潜在风险.本文以丁基黄原酸钾（PBX）为目标污染物，在比较真空紫外辐照法（VUV）、曝气（Aeration）、过氧化氢（H₂O₂）氧化和次氯酸钠（NaClO）氧化处理对PBX降解效果的基础上，深入研究反应温度、初始pH值、初始底物浓度及共存离子对效果最优的VUV法降解PBX的影响，探明影响VUV降解PBX的关键因素并建立动力学模型.结果表明，对初始浓度为20 mg·L^-1的PBX进行VUV、NaClO氧化、H₂O₂氧化和曝气处理60 min后，VUV处理效果最优（PBX降解率为97.49%），随后依次为H₂O₂氧化、NaClO氧化和曝气处理.在VUV处理过程中，反应温度和初始pH的升高促进了PBX降解，随着PBX初始浓度增加降解速率常数（k_C）减小.溶液中共存的CO₃^2-、SiO₃^2-促进了PBX降解，Ca²⁺则抑制了PBX降解.反应温度和初始pH值是影响PBX降解的关键因素，基于这两个因素建立了PBX降解的模型方程.从经济有效的角度综合考虑，反应温度35℃、pH=8、合适的阴离子（SiO₃^2-、CO₃^2-）及其浓度有利于促进VUV降解PBX.研究结果为选矿废水有机污染物的处理提供了新思路.     

基于高分辨率MARGA分析桂林市PM2.5水溶性离子特征

利用高时间分辨率MARGA于2017年2月17日~3月24日在桂林市开展PM_2.5组分监测，结合同一点位环境和气象监测数据，分析桂林市大气PM_2.5水溶性无机离子组分特征及气溶胶酸性.结果表明：MARGA监测的PM_2.5中8种水溶性离子与PM_2.5变化趋势一致.8种水溶性离子总浓度均值29.27μg/m³，3种二次水溶性离子SO₄^2-、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺浓度均值26.91μg/m³，占水溶性离子总浓度的93.50%，是桂林市大气PM_2.5的主要组分.二次水溶性离子SO₄^2-、NH₄⁺和NO₃^-两两之间存在显著正相关性（相关系数均>0.80），提示二次离子产生的机制及在大气中的演化、沉积具有一定的相似性.无论有无降雨，能见度（Vis）均随着水溶性离子，尤其是二次水溶性离子浓度的增加呈幂函数规律递减.24h累计降雨量≥ 10.0mm时，湿清除作用明显.晴天及降雨量不大的天气下，需注意管控机动车尾气、生物质燃烧和扬尘污染.SOR、NOR分别为0.35、0.12，SO₂同时通过均相和非均相氧化反应转化为SO₄^2-，NO_x主要是通过白天光化学反应转化为NO₃^-.大多数离子和气态前体物均存在明显的日变化规律，这与物质的来源、形成机制和气象条件不同有关.CE/AE摩尔浓度均值为1.5，桂林市PM_2.5总体偏碱性.PM_2.5中SO₄^2-、NO₃^-、Cl^-主要以（NH₄）₂SO₄、NH₄NO₃和NH₄Cl形式存在.PM_2.5中NH₄⁺可能与监测点位交通源排放有关，桂林市应加强交通污染物排放管控.     

Effect of Cross-Linking Waste Protein with Dialdehydes on Its Biodegradation Under Anaerobic Conditions

Most native polymers used in processing and application technologies are admittedly disposable from the environment in a biologic manner, but products possess low mechanical strength. One of the paths to increasing this attribute (if feasible) is their cross-linking, which may, however, affect their readiness to biodegradation. In the presented work this condition was observed on the example of waste protein (Hykol B) cross-linking by means of glutardialdehyde and glyoxal. Degree and course of cross-linking were determined through impedance spectroscopy. The objective of this work also was to obtain data for constructing a sensor capable of following the cross-linking course in real time, for potential industrial application of Hykol in continuous production. Impedance spectroscopy proved to be applicable even to this kind of material marked by considerable water content and exhibiting relatively high electric conductivity; so far it had been used only for materials of low conductivity. An aqueous environment inoculated with digested anaerobic sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant was selected for modeling anaerobic conditions. The relation was studied between cross-linking degree given by content of cross-linking agent (determined by impedance spectroscopy) and biodegradation degree under anaerobic conditions. It was confirmed that network density as given by quantity of added agent not only reduced breakdown degree but also slowed the course of the process. This fact is particularly obvious with cross-linking by means of glyoxal; network density is thus dependent on type of employed substance, which affect type and structure of created network. That not merely forms an obstacle during polymer swelling and dissolution but also prevents access of bacteria to source of metabolized organic carbon.     

The methylic versus the ethylic route: considerations about the sustainability of Brazilian biodiesel production

Brazil is considered one of the world’s leading producers of biofuels given the predominance of ethanol fuel in its energy matrix. However, despite the prominence of Brazil in ethanol production, the vast majority of biodiesel production plants in Brazil use methanol instead of ethanol as the alcohol for transesterification reaction, as is generally the case in the rest of the world. The aim of this paper is therefore to examine the transesterification process in the Brazilian biodiesel production in terms of sustainability. In this regard, it was necessary to evaluate the way in which the industrial process is currently carried out, the role of government incentives or subsidies for the use of ethanol to produce biodiesel, and the investments of companies in technology development for the same purpose. This study presents indications that the development of the biodiesel market in Brazil is still oriented toward a production model which is inconsistent with the environmental and social aspects of sustainability.
