岩溶区不同水体有机氯农药对比研究

为研究岩溶区地下水、地表水之间有机氯农药的差异,用气相色谱-微池电子捕获检测器(GC-μECD)分析了水中OCPs含量.结果表明:研究区水样中有机氯农药检出率达100%.OCPs浓度范围32.13~319.53ng/L,均值为134.17ng/L.OCPs浓度季节差异明显,枯水期高于丰水期.水井(sj)中OCPs,DDTs、HCHs浓度均大于水池(sc).通过采样点间的对比可知,雨季水池、水井间OCPs含量相当,旱季水池小于水井.水池、水井间DDTs、HCHs对比没有明显的季节性,表现为水池的DDTs含量小于水井,但HCHs含量大于水井.水井中的OCPs、DDTs、HCHs的最小值与水池相比均表现出了滞后性.地表水与地下水有机氯农药表现出的差异,是由于两采样点的环境不同.通过比值法得出HCHs来自于混合源,地表水的比值更能准确的反映出HCHs的来源.DDTs可能来自于混合DDTs,且为历史残留,降解环境为好氧环境.水井中DDTs、HCHs百分比组成由于土壤的影响发生了变化.     

Arsenic speciation in polychaetes (Annelida) and sediments from the intertidal mudflat of Sundarban mangrove wetland, India

This paper documents the concentration of total arsenic and individual arsenic species in four soft-bottom benthic polychaetes (Perenereis cultifera, Ganganereis sootai, Lumbrinereis notocirrata and Dendronereis arborifera) along with host sediments from Sundarban mangrove wetland, India. An additional six sites were considered exclusively for surface sediments for this purpose. Polychaetes were collected along with the host sediments and measured for their total arsenic content using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Arsenic concentrations in polychaete body tissues varied greatly, suggesting species-specific characteristics and inherent peculiarities in arsenic metabolism. Arsenic was generally present in polychaetes as arsenate (As^V ranges from 0.16 to 0.50 mg kg^?1) or arsenite (As^III ranges from 0.10 to 0.41 mg kg^?1) (30–53 % as inorganic As) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA^V <1–25 %). Arsenobetaine (AB < 16 %), and PO₄-arsenoriboside (8–48 %) were also detected as minor constituents, whilst monomethylarsonic acid (MA^V) was not detected in any of the polychaetes. The highest total As (14.7 mg kg^?1 dry wt) was observed in the polychaete D. arborifera collected from the vicinity of a sewage outfall in which the majority of As was present as an uncharacterised compound (10.3 mg kg^?1 dry wt) eluted prior to AB. Host sediments ranged from 2.5 to 10.4 mg kg^?1 of total As. This work supports the importance of speciation analysis of As, because of the ubiquitous occurrence of this metalloid in the environment, and its variable toxicity depending on chemical form. It is also the first work to report the composition of As species in polychaetes from the Indian Sundarban wetlands.     

Lignin and its effects on litter decomposition in forest ecosystems

Lignin is a major component of plant litter. In this review, we found lignin comprises a complex class of organic compounds whose concentration differs greatly both between and within plant species. There are many analytical methods for detecting the composition and structure of lignins. As lignins are enormously complex compounds, chemical assay is difficult and different methods vary with the results. Lignin plays a significant role in the carbon cycle, sequestering atmospheric carbon into the living tissues of woody perennial vegetation. It has also great effects on nitrogen dynamics of forest ecosystems as well as other ecological processes. Lignin is one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, contributing a major fraction of the material that becomes humus as it decomposes. Lignin is highly correlated with decomposition of litter. Thus, there is evidence that the lignin concentration is a more influential factor than the other chemical concentrations, in determining the rate of leaf litter decomposition of different forest ecosystems. Although a great number of researchers have addressed lignin's role in litter decomposition, still there are many aspects of lignin biogeochemistry that are not known. This lack of information hinders complete amalgam of lignin effects on litter decomposition processes and dynamics of nutrient cycling.     

Role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the performance of floodplain Phragmites japonica under nutrient stress condition

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on growth, nutrient uptake, and inoculation effectiveness on Phragmites japonica. Spores of AMF strains (Gigaspora margarita Becker &; Hall) were collected from the commercial product ‘Serakinkon’. Four treatments, namely, natural soil (NS), natural soil inoculated by AM fungi, sterilised soil (SS) inoculated by AM fungi, and SS without AM fungi inoculation were selected to determine the effects of applied and indigenous AMF on P. japonica. The average colonisation level of P. japonica was 24–33%, whereas no colonisation was found in the SS. AMF colonisation increased the chlorophyll content (r?=?0.84, p?r?=?0.89, p?相似文献   

Eutrophication Phenomenon with Special Reference to the Kasštela Bay

Abstract

The paper discusses the eutrophication phenomenon as a result of pollution from land-based sources with special reference to the experience gained in the Kas?tela Bay Project.

The Bay of Kas?tela is a semi-enclosed bay of a total volume of 1.4 km³. It receives a great amount of untreated waste water, both domestic and industrial.

Results of the analyses of long-term data series of dissolved oxygen, nutrients, transparency and phytoplankton have shown a continuous increase of eutrophication in the Bay. While the concentration of oxygen in the euphotic layer increases due to a higher phytoplankton productivity, in the bottom layer it decreases as a result of the activity of heterotrophic bacteria. the nitrogen/phosphorus ratio in sea water has decreased, and today is much lower than in the open sea. From the Secchi-disc data it is clear that transparency has also decreased for the last three decades. Primary production as well as phytoplankton biomass has also increased. the structure of phytoplankton community has been changed and dinoflagellate species have become dominant rather than diatoms.

Development of a catalytic dehalogenation (Cl,Br) process for municipal waste plastic-derived oil

Dehalogenation is a key technology in the feedstock recycling of mixed halogenated waste plastics. In this study, two different methods were used to clarify the effectiveness of our proposed catalytic dehalogenation process using various carbon composites of iron oxides and calcium carbonate as the catalyst/sorbent. The first approach (a two-step process) was to develop a process for the thermal degradation of mixed halogenated waste plastics, and also develop dehalogenation catalysts for the catalytic dehydrochlorination of organic chlorine compounds from mixed plastic-derived oil containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using a fixed-bed flow-type reactor. The second approach (a single-step process) was the simultaneous degradation and dehalogenation of chlorinated (PVC) and brominated (plastic containing brominated flame retardant, HIPS–Br) mixed plastics into halogen-free liquid products. We report on a catalytic dehalogenation process for the chlorinated and brominated organic compounds formed by the pyrolysis of PVC and brominated flame retardant (HIPS–Br) mixed waste plastics [(polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS)], and also other plastics. During dehydrohalogenation, the iron- and calcium-based catalysts were transformed into their corresponding halides, which are also very active in the dehydrohalogenation of organic halogenated compounds. The halogen-free plastic-derived oil (PDO) can be used as a fuel oil or feedstock in refineries.     

垃圾焚烧飞灰制备高温脱硫剂及其性能评价

利用不同地方的垃圾焚烧飞灰来制备高温炉内的脱硫剂,并利用热天平来研究飞灰脱硫剂(FA-脱硫剂)的固硫性能.实验结果表明,FA-脱硫剂的孔隙分布在2000nm左右,并且比生石灰具有更好的固硫能力.添加石膏后的FA-脱硫剂,其机械强度大大提高,但孔径结构变小,脱硫率也有所下降.添加10%(质量分数)水玻璃的FA-脱硫剂的机械强度相当于生石灰,脱硫效果更明显,比没有添加水玻璃时效果更好,孔径结构基本不变.这是由于水玻璃中的钠跟二氧化硫反应生成钠硫酸盐.
