Enhanced nitrogen removal of coal pyrolysis wastewater with low COD to nitrogen ratio by partial nitrification-denitrification bioprocess assisted with polycaprolactone

The purpose of this study is to investigate the enhancement of polycaprolactone (PCL) on total nitrogen (TN) removal of coal pyrolysis wastewater (CPW) with low COD to nitrogen ratio by partial nitrification-denitrification bioprocess (PNDB) in one single reactor. With the innovative combination of PCL and PNDB, the TN removal efficiency in the experimental reactor (signed as R1) was 10.21% higher than control reactor (R2). Nitrite accumulation percentage (NAP) in R1 was 82.02%, which was 17.49% higher than R2 at the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 0.9–1.5 mg/L, for the reason that the extra DO was consumed by PCL biodegradation at the aerobic period. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results demonstrated that organics with the molecular weight of 185 Da, which could serve as additional carbon sources for denitrifiers, were generated during the PCL hydrolysis process at the anoxic period. PCL was hydrolyzed by extracellular enzymes with the break of the ester bond which was confirmed by FT-IR spectrometer. Microbial community analysis revealed that Ferruginibacter was the dominant hydrolysis bacteria in R1. Nitrosomonas were the main ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and Hyphomicrobium were the denitrifiers in this study.

Toxic effects of realgar transforming solution on the reproduction of Caenorhabditis elegans

Realgar transforming solution is an arsenic formulation which has shown anticancer effects with low toxicity both in vivo and in vitro. In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans was used to evaluate its reproductive toxicity and its possible mechanisms. Realgar transforming solution decreased the brood size and induced proliferation arrest and apoptosis significantly only at an elemental concentration of 37.5 mg/L, while arsenic trioxide reduced the brood sizes and induced proliferation arrest and apoptosis of both the wild type N2 and let-60 ras(gf) mutant worms in an arsenic concentration dependent manner. Mitogen-activated protein kinase and protein p53 pathways may be involved in reproductive toxicity as evidenced by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, RNA interference, and inhibition experiments with mitogen-activated protein kinases and p53. In conclusion, realgar transforming solution at the low arsenic (As) concentrations showed lower reproductive toxicity than arsenic trioxide, and a different molecular mechanism of reproductive toxicity is suggested.     

氧化锰与氧化铈协同等离子体催化氧化甲醇的活性差异研究

在等离子体催化系统中,不同催化剂常表现出显著的性能差异.本文通过表面氧物种表征及臭氧氧化原位反应,探究了α-MnO₂与CeO₂两种常用催化剂在等离子体催化系统中催化氧化甲醇性能差异的本质原因.等离子体催化氧化甲醇的性能评价结果显示,在相同输入功率下CeO₂对甲醇的转化率和CO₂选择性均高于α-MnO₂.氧气程序升温脱附（O₂-TPD）和X射线光电子能谱（XPS）等表征手段及甲醇常温催化、O₃分解和O₃催化氧化实验结果表明,CeO₂比α-MnO₂拥有更多的表面活性氧,能吸附活化更多的甲醇分子;同时,CeO₂能更有效地利用臭氧分解产生的活性氧物种对甲醇进行深度氧化.进一步通过原位DRIFTS实验研究两种催化剂协同臭氧催化氧化甲醇反应中间产物的变化,结果表明,CeO₂催化剂氧化甲醇的表面副产物较少,而α-MnO₂表面则会累积大量的副产物碳酸盐,从而影响其催化性能.     

Evidence for coupled iron and nitrate reduction in the surface waters of Jiaozhou Bay

Iron and nitrate (NO₃^?) are dominant physiologically required nutrients for phytoplankton growth, and iron may also play a key role in the marine nitrogen cycle. In this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial distributions of dissolved iron (DFe) and Fe(II) in the surface waters of Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) from April 2 to July 26, 2017. High concentrations of DFe and Fe(II) predominantly occurred in nearshore and estuarine stations and concentrations were generally higher in April and May. The highest DFe concentration was observed along the coast of Hongdao (51.55 nmol/L) in May, while the lowest concentration was observed in the western coastal region (2.88 nmol/L) in April. The highest and lowest Fe(II) concentrations were observed in the Licun estuary (22.42 nmol/L) and outer bay (0.50 nmol/L) in May, respectively. We calculated the proportions of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium in dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) as well as the ratio of Fe(II) to DFe in all four months. The mean Fe(II)/DFe ratio was 0.48 in April, 0.43 in May, 0.69 in June, and 0.32 in July. The mean ratio of NO₃^? to DIN was 0.78 in April, 0.54 in May, 0.20 in June, and 0.62 in July. NO₃^?/DIN continuously decreased in the first three months, while Fe(II)/DFe remained high, which suggests that the reduction of iron and nitrate occurred simultaneously in the surface waters of JZB.     

北京城区道路电磁环境监测及与人口热力关联分析

用电设备和无线通信服务的增长导致城市电磁环境水平逐渐升高,对人体健康和电子系统正常工作构成潜在威胁。于2021年对北京城区约407 km道路上的28 578个采样点进行电磁环境监测,89%的采样点电磁环境水平在3 V/m以内,但存在少量电磁环境水平高于12 V/m的采样点。结合进一步频谱分析发现,地理坐标为116.48°E、39.91°N附近路段电磁环境水平超出了《电磁环境控制限值》(GB 8702—2014)要求。此外,利用关联分析经典算法Apriori对电磁环境和人口热力的关联规则进行提取,结果表明,电磁环境水平较高的区域往往具有极高等级的人口热力,从而为电磁环境风险的快速判别提供参考。建议重点加强对人口热力极高区域的电磁环境监测,同时持续关注城市电磁环境变化趋势,以实现对电磁环境风险的及早预警和处理。     

等离子体场内CeO2催化降解甲醇的表面活性氧物种来源与作用研究

利用水热法制备了3种不同形貌(纳米棒、纳米颗粒、纳米立方体)的CeO_2催化剂,并通过比表面积测试(BET)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、拉曼光谱分析(Raman)、O_2程序升温脱附(O_2-TPD)手段表征其物理化学性质,结果发现,CeO_2纳米棒的表面氧空位和氧物种最多.等离子体与催化协同降解甲醇性能评价实验结果显示,CeO_2纳米棒展现出最好的催化性能.进一步设计实验(甲醇-TPD、不同气氛常温催化、催化剂内后置比较、O_3催化氧化)推测在等离子体场内CeO_2表面活性氧物种来源及其作用.结果表明:①在等离子体场内参与CeO_2表面催化反应的活性氧物种有两个来源,一是催化剂本身存在的表面氧物种,二是等离子体区域产生的短寿命物种及长寿命物种(主要是O_3),其中,O_3分解产生的活性氧物种是提高催化性能的主要因素.②不同形貌CeO_2由于表面氧空位含量不同,导致O_3在催化剂上分解产生的活性氧物种的量不同,最终影响等离子体催化性能.
