河流环境持久性有机污染物归宿的动态逸度模型

运用逸度方法构建了依赖于温度的、模拟持久性有机污染物(POPs)在河流环境中长期变化的动态归宿模型,其中逸度容量、污染物的转化速率、传递系数等模型参数的计算与温度有关.为了检验模型的合理性,以辽河下游为研究区域,对水体和沉积物中的γ-HCH进行了模拟计算.结果表明:逸度容量的变化与温度负相关,速率系数则相反.在模拟温度范围内(273～298K),-γHCH在空气、水和沉积物中的逸度容量分别减少了8.4%、89.7%和89.7%,转化速率系数分别增加了0.69、22.0和4.5倍;气-水界面的挥发和水-沉积物界面的扩散速率系数分别增加了7.9和1.6倍.模型计算值与实测值吻合较好,最大偏差为5.6倍,表明该模型用于残留POPs的长期预测是可行的.     

电增强活性炭纤维吸附有机污染物的动力学研究

研究了在电极化条件下,几种具有代表性污染物质在活性炭纤维上的电吸附动力学特性.结果表明,各种污染物的电吸附动力学比较好地符合Lagergren一级吸附动力学,其平衡吸附量在电极化下的增加量各不相同.在400mV的极化电位下,苯酚钠的吸附量从开路时的0.008 3mmol·g^-1增加到0.18 mmol·g^-1,增加了17倍;而对硝基苯酚的吸附量从开路时的2.93mmol·g^-1降到2.65 mmol·g^-1.在-400mV的极化电位下,苯胺的吸附量从开路时的3.60 mmol·g^-1增加到3.88 mmol·g^-1;而十二烷基苯磺酸钠的吸附量从开路时的2.20 mmol·g^-1降到1.59 mmol·g^-1.说明不同取代基的苯衍生物,电吸附改变量不相同,供电子基团的单取代苯,正极化都能明显增强其吸附量;但是吸电子基团的单取代,正负极化对吸附量的影响都很小;供体-共轭桥键-受体型结构的苯衍生物,正负极化都使其吸附减弱但吸附速率加快.静电作用在离子型污染物的电吸附中表现明显.

Locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) for water disinfection

• Nanowire-assisted LEEFT is applied for water disinfection with low voltages. • LEEFT inactivates bacteria by disrupting cell membrane through electroporation. • Multiple electrodes and device configurations have been developed for LEEFT. • The LEEFT is low-cost, highly efficient, and produces no DBPs. • The LEEFT can potentially be applicable for water disinfection at all scales. Water disinfection is a critical step in water and wastewater treatment. The most widely used chlorination suffers from the formation of carcinogenic disinfection by-products (DBPs) while alternative methods (e.g., UV, O₃, and membrane filtration) are limited by microbial regrowth, no residual disinfectant, and high operation cost. Here, a nanowire-enabled disinfection method, locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT), is introduced with advantages of no chemical addition, no DBP formation, low energy consumption, and efficient microbial inactivation. Attributed to the lightning rod effect, the electric field near the tip area of the nanowires on the electrode is significantly enhanced to inactivate microbes, even though a small external voltage (usually<5 V) is applied. In this review, after emphasizing the significance of water disinfection, the theory of the LEEFT is explained. Subsequently, the recent development of the LEEFT technology on electrode materials and device configurations are summarized. The disinfection performance is analyzed, with respect to the operating parameters, universality against different microorganisms, electrode durability, and energy consumption. The studies on the inactivation mechanisms during the LEEFT are also reviewed. Lastly, the challenges and future research of LEEFT disinfection are discussed.     

Biogenic palladium prepared by activated sludge microbes for the hexavalent chromium catalytic reduction: Impact of relative biomass

• Pd nanoparticles could be reduced and supported by activated sludge microbes. • The effect of biomass on Pd adsorption by microbes is greater than Pd reduction. • More biomass reduces Pd particle size, which is more dispersed on the cell surface. • When the biomass/Pd add to 6, the catalytic reduction rate of Cr(VI) reaches stable. Palladium, a kind of platinum group metal, owns catalytic capacity for a variety of hydrogenations. In this study, Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) were generated through enzymatic recovery by microbes of activated sludge at various biomass/Pd, and further used for the Cr(VI) reduction. The results show that biomass had a strong adsorption capacity for Pd(II), which was 17.25 mg Pd/g sludge. The XRD and TEM-EDX results confirmed the existence of PdNPs associated with microbes (bio-Pd). The increase of biomass had little effect on the reduction rate of Pd(II), but it could cause decreasing particle size and shifting location of Pd(0) with the better dispersion degree on the cell surface. In the Cr(VI) reduction experiments, Cr(VI) was first adsorbed on bio-Pd with hydrogen and then reduced using active hydrogen as electron donor. Biomass improved the catalytic activity of PdNPs. When the biomass/Pd (w/w) ratio increased to six or higher, Cr(VI) reduction achieved maximum rate that 50 mg/L of Cr(VI) could be rapidly reduced in one minute.     

Eco-Environmental Degradation in the Source Region of the Yellow River, Northeast Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the cradle of the Chinese civilization. The source region of the Yellow River is the most important water holding area for the Yellow River, about 49.2% of the whole runoff comes from this region. However, for the special location, it is a region with most fragile eco-environment in China as well. Eco-environmental degradation in the source region of the Yellow River has been a very serious ecological and socially economic problem. According to census data, historical documents and climatic information, during the last half century, especially the last 30 years, great changes have taken place in the eco-environment of this region. Such changes are mainly manifested in the temporal-spatial changes of water environment, deglaciation, permafrost reduction, vegetation degeneracy and desertification extent, which led to land capacity decreasing and river disconnecting. At present, desertification of the region is showing an accelerating tendency. This paper analyzes the present status of eco-environment degradation in this region supported by GIS and RS, as well as field investigation and indoor analysis, based on knowledge, multi-source data is gathered and the classification is worked out, deals with their natural and anthropogenic causes, and points out that in the last half century the desertification and environmental degradation of this region are mainly attributed to human activities under the background of regional climate changes. To halt further degradation of the environment of this region, great efforts should be made to use land resources rationally, develop advantages animal agriculture and protect the natural grassland.
