不同生育期Cd胁迫对水稻生长及镉累积的影响

采用水培试验方法,从水稻移栽至某特定生育期之间添加外源镉(Cd),通过递推减法,研究了湘晚籼13号水稻不同生育期Cd胁迫对其生长和不同部位中Cd含量的影响.结果表明,50μg·L~(-1)外源Cd胁迫不会影响水稻的正常生长发育,糙米中的Cd主要来源于水稻分蘖期吸收的Cd在后期的迁移、灌浆期吸收的Cd和成熟期吸收的Cd,这3个关键生育期对糙米中最终Cd含量的贡献率分别为36.4%、18.2%和16.4%.因此,与灌浆期和成熟期相比,在水稻分蘖期采用一些植物阻隔技术可能对水稻籽粒中Cd含量的削减更为重要.     

Effects of humic acid fractions with different polarities on photodegradation of 2,4-D in aqueous environments

Four fractions (A, B, C, and D) of humic acids (HAs) were separated based on the polarity from weak to strong. UV-vis absorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis show that the fractions C and Dpossessedmore aromatic C=C content. The influences of HAs and their fractions on the photolysis were investigated by the photodegradation of 2,4-D solutions under simulated solar light irradiation. The degradation rate of 2,4-D was found to decrease in the presence of bulk HAs or their fractions especially at high HAs concentration. The fractions of strong polarity C and D retarded the degradation rate more than the fractions of weak polarity A and B. This could be attributed to the different absorption intensity of the four HAs fractions in the order of D ? C > A > B, and the stronger π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions between the strong polar fractions and 2,4-D.     

HCHs and DDTs in salt marsh plants (Scirpus) from the Yangtze estuary and nearby coastal areas, China

HCHs and DDTs in salt marsh plants taken from intertidal flats in the Yangtze estuary and coastal area in April and July 2002 were determined by GC-ECD. A significant seasonal effect was observed for HCHs and DDTs in sources and concentration levels in different sample types including above-ground tissues and roots as well as the whole plants and rhizospheric sediments. The results indicated that the concentration of t-HCH was higher in the above-ground tissues than in their roots in April; however, the partitioning of DDTs between contaminated sediments and the roots showed the higher concentrations of t-DDT in their roots. HCHs and DDTs concentration levels were higher in above-ground tissues than in roots in July. BCFs of HCHs and DDTs exhibited lower values with higher levels of contaminants in sediments, and higher values with lower levels in sediments.     

Accelerated degradation of orange G over a wide pH range in the presence of FeVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

In this study, FeVO₄ was prepared and used as Fenton-like catalyst to degrade orange G (OG) dye. The removal of OG in an aqueous solution containing 0.5 g·L^–1 FeVO₄ and 15 mmol·L^–1 hydrogen peroxide at pH 7.0 reached 93.2%. Similar rates were achieved at pH 5.7 (k = 0.0471 min^–1), pH 7.0 (k = 0.0438 min^–1), and pH 7.7 (k = 0.0434 min^–1). The FeVO₄ catalyst successfully overcomes the problem faced in the heterogeneous Fenton process, i.e., the narrow working pH range. The data for the removal of OG in FeVO₄ systems containing H₂O₂ conform to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model (R² = 0.9988), indicating that adsorption and surface reaction are the two basic mechanisms for OG removal in the FeVO₄–H₂O₂ system. Furthermore, the irradiation of FeVO₄ by visible light significantly increases the degradation rate of OG, which is attributed to the enhanced rates of the iron cycles and vanadium cycles.

水灰比对高温下混凝土质量损失及抗压强度影响试验研究

为研究水灰比对不同温度作用下混凝土残余抗压强度、质量损失的影响,对不同受火温度和不同水灰比的混凝土标准立方体试件进行高温下及高温后的抗压强度试验和质量损失测试。试验结果表明:随着水灰比的增大,高温下及高温后混凝土抗压强度、混凝土质量损失均呈现出整体下降的趋势。通过试验拟合回归分析,建立了高温下混凝土抗压强度、质量损失与受火温度之间的关系式,可通过质量损失、受火温度来预估高温下混凝土残余抗压强度。
