Synthesis, isolation and purification of C10-C13 polychloro-n-alkanes for use as standards in environmental analysis

Short chain (C10-C13) polychloro-n-alkanes (sPCAs) mixtures were synthesized by refluxing pure n-alkane (> 99%) with sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2) in the presence of UV-light (550 W). The free radical initiated reactions produced analogs containing approximately 4-9 chlorine atoms on each carbon chain. Purification of reaction products was achieved by adsorption chromatography on Florisil. The products were characterized by high-resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HRGC/MS) operated in the electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) and in electron ionization (EI) modes. Individual standards can now be combined to create standards whose profiles resemble that of environmental samples. Quantification of a known amount of the newly synthesized sPCAs mixture, using an industrial formulation as an external standard, resulted in an overestimation (approximately 28%) in its true value.     

Selective removal of organic contaminants from sediments: a methodology for toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs)

Aqueous slurries of a test sediment spiked with dibenz[a,h]anthracene, 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, p,p'-DDE, or phenanthrene were subjected to decontamination experimentation. The spiked sediments were agitated at elevated temperatures for at least 96 h in the presence of either of the two contaminant-absorbing media: clusters of polyethylene membrane or lipid-containing semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). The effects of treatment temperature and surface area of media on the removal of contaminants were explored. This work is part of a larger methodology for whole-sediment toxicity identification evaluation (TIE). A method is being sought that is capable of detoxifying sediments with respect to organic contaminants while leaving toxicity attributable to inorganic contaminants unaffected.     

部分亚硝化-厌氧氨氧化处理磁混凝生活污水

以磁混凝预处理后的生活污水为处理对象,构建了部分亚硝化-厌氧氨氧化分体式反应器,通过曝气调控与生物强化促进部分亚硝化反应的稳定进行,并耦合厌氧氨氧化反应进行深度脱氮.近100d的运行结果表明,在生物强化和间歇曝气的控制条件下,亚硝酸盐积累率达到了89.93%;提高亚硝化反应器中曝气阶段溶解氧浓度（从0.6~0.8mg/L升高至1.0~1.2mg/L）有利于氨氮与总氮去除.该系统最高能够去除95.45%的氨氮和86.28%的总氮,实现了稳定、高效脱氮;磁混凝预处理后的生活污水在亚硝化反应器中,间歇曝气条件促进了残留的溶解性有机物为反硝化提供碳源,COD总去除率达到64.65%~74.42%,并且亚硝化反应器出水与系统最终出水的有机物组分相似,主要为难降解有机物.     

湿润亚热带典型白云岩流域的化学剥蚀速率——以贵州施秉黄洲河流域为例

针对白云岩岩溶作用过程研究较为缺乏、白云岩地区的化学剥蚀速率报道较少等问题,本文以中国南方喀斯特施秉世界自然遗产地内黄洲河典型白云岩流域为研究区,采用流域水化学径流法,通过获得的2015年3月~2016年3月水文年内钙、镁离子的月平均浓度和高时间分辨率的流量数据,结合白云岩流域的水化学稳态行为,计算出该白云岩流域的化学剥蚀速率为46.91 mm/ka,与其他相似气候条件下白云岩流域的化学剥蚀速率相当,但比以石灰岩为主的碳酸盐岩流域的化学剥蚀速率高38%。这主要是因为在自然条件下,亚热带典型白云岩在地域尺度上有足够的时间达到溶解平衡态,进而使白云石较高的溶解度成为影响其化学剥蚀速率的主要因素。     

过硫酸钠对我国典型土壤中多环芳烃氧化降解效果的影响

过硫酸钠是污染土壤化学氧化修复技术中应用较为广泛的氧化剂.为研究过硫酸钠对不同土壤中PAHs（polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,多环芳烃）的修复效果,以我国多种典型土壤（黑土、潮土、黄土、紫色土、褐土、砖红壤）为试验样本,以萘、菲、蒽、芘、苯并[a]芘5种PAHs为目标污染物,分析活化过硫酸钠对人为老化的降解率;此外,通过对氧化前后土壤pH、w（有机碳）等土壤性质变化的比较和分析,探讨氧化修复过程对土壤性质的影响.结果表明:当活化过硫酸钠用量为0.8 mmol/g、温度为25℃时,PAHs污染土壤中萘、菲、蒽、芘、苯并[a]芘的降解率最高,分别为87.82%、79.68%、87.93%、83.40%、94.31%.随着温度的升高,PAHs降解率逐渐升高,当温度达到25℃时,PAHs的降解率（85.69%）达到最高,随后随着温度的继续升高,总PAHs的降解率没有明显增加;随着pH的升高,PAHs的降解率逐渐升高,当pH达到6~7时,PAHs降解率维持在一个较高水平;随后随着pH的继续升高,总PAHs的降解率逐渐降低.随着温度以及pH的变化,5种PAHs的降解率与总PAHs的降解率变化趋势一致. w（有机碳）越低,PAHs环数越高,PAHs降解率越高;高环（5~6环）、中环（4环）、低环（2~3环）PAHs降解率与总PAHs降解率变化趋势一致.此外,过硫酸钠氧化修复后土壤结构遭到一定程度的破坏,土壤的pH、w（有机碳）和土壤肥力会有不同程度的下降,对土壤的再次利用有较大影响.研究显示,过硫酸钠可有效氧化降解不同性质土壤中PAHs,在氧化修复PAHs污染土壤方面具有较好的应用前景.      

无机沉淀对土壤有机质吸附疏水有机污染物的影响

土壤有机质对疏水性有机污染物的吸附解吸是影响其在土壤中迁移、转化和归趋的重要因素之一。老化是有机污染物和土壤等介质长时间相互作用的结果,它影响着污染物的生物有效性。已有的老化研究注重有机污染物被土壤等介质吸附隔离的机制,很少考虑土壤等吸附剂自身演化对有机污染物吸附的影响。本文通过无机沉淀处理方法来模拟自然环境过程吸附剂自身的演化对土壤有机质吸附能力的影响,从而证明吸附剂自身的变化也是影响老化效应的一个重要因素。结果表明,不同无机沉淀包裹和填充的碱提土样品比原始碱提土样品具有更小的吸附能力,同时无机沉淀处理后的样品的吸附性能随着无机沉淀离子浓度增加而降低。这可能是无机沉淀覆盖碱提土样品的内外表面积和填充碱提土样品的微孔所引起的,同时也可能是无机沉淀占据了吸附有机污染物的高能点位所致。

Conservation Businesses and Conservation Planning in a Biological Diversity Hotspot

The allocation of land to biological diversity conservation competes with other land uses and the needs of society for development, food, and extraction of natural resources. Trade‐offs between biological diversity conservation and alternative land uses are unavoidable, given the realities of limited conservation resources and the competing demands of society. We developed a conservation‐planning assessment for the South African province of KwaZulu‐Natal, which forms the central component of the Maputaland–Pondoland–Albany biological diversity hotspot. Our objective was to enhance biological diversity protection while promoting sustainable development and providing spatial guidance in the resolution of potential policy conflicts over priority areas for conservation at risk of transformation. The conservation‐planning assessment combined spatial‐distribution models for 646 conservation features, spatial economic‐return models for 28 alternative land uses, and spatial maps for 4 threats. Nature‐based tourism businesses were competitive with other land uses and could provide revenues of >US$60 million/year to local stakeholders and simultaneously help meeting conservation goals for almost half the conservation features in the planning region. Accounting for opportunity costs substantially decreased conflicts between biological diversity, agricultural use, commercial forestry, and mining. Accounting for economic benefits arising from conservation and reducing potential policy conflicts with alternative plans for development can provide opportunities for successful strategies that combine conservation and sustainable development and facilitate conservation action.
