Effects of alfalfa and organic fertilizer on benzo[a]pyrene dissipation in an aged contaminated soil

BACKGROUND: A climate-controlled pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of planting alfalfa and applying organic fertilizer on the dissipation of benzo[a]pyrene from an aged contaminated agricultural soil. RESULTS: Short-term planting of alfalfa inhibited the dissipation of benzo[a]pyrene from the soil by 8.9%, and organic fertilizer enhanced benzo[a]pyrene removal from the soil by 11.6% compared with the unplanted and unfertilized treatments, respectively. No significant interaction was observed between alfalfa and organic fertilizer on benzo[a]pyrene dissipation. Sterilization completely inhibited the removal of benzo[a]pyrene from the soil indicating that its degradation by indigenous microorganisms may have been the main mechanism of dissipation. Furthermore, significant positive relationships were observed between benzo[a]pyrene removal and the contents of soil ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and total mineral nitrogen at the end of the experiment, suggesting that competition between plants and microorganisms for nitrogen may have inhibited benzo[a]pyrene dissipation in the rhizosphere of alfalfa and the addition of organic fertilizer may facilitate microbial degradation of benzo[a]pyrene in the soil.

利用粉煤灰处理生活污水的初步研究

粉煤灰虽然是一种固体废弃物,但已广泛应用于污水处理.本实验以锅炉房燃煤产生的粉煤灰为原料进行对生活污水的处理实验,主要研究在不同填料层高度,粉煤灰在单次进水和循环进水的情况下对生活污水中COD的去除率的差异;以及对高浓度垃圾渗滤液进行处理的对比性实验.结果表明,污水中COD的去除率随粉煤灰填料层高度的增加而提高,并且对低浓度生活污水中的COD去除效果较好.     

元谋、牟定地区红土化过程中金的富集机理

在对元谋县猛林沟、牟定县戍街两地红土化剖面的地质特征、次生矿物变化、主要元素及金含量变化进行研究的基础上．探讨了金在红土化剖面上的分布形式和红土化过程中全的活化、迁移及沉淀等的机理。笔者认为,区内保存完整的红土化剖面上存在金的双峰式富集,其中产于铁质硬壳层附近的上部金富集带是由于铁质胶体吸附的结果,而腐泥岩层附近的下部金富集带是由Eh变小、pH变大引起的;氧化还原作用是金活化、迁移、沉淀富集最重要的控制机制。

Occurrence of selected antibiotics in Jiulongjiang River in various seasons, South China

The concentrations of six sulfonamides (SAs) and three tetracyclines (TCs) were investigated in Jiulongjiang River during the low water season and the high water season. They were monitored in both surface water and sediment. Total concentrations of all these antibiotics varied from 31 to 25,771 ng g(-1) in sediment samples. In water they ranged from 60 to 2607 ng L(-1) during the low water season and from ND (not detected) to 134 ng L(-1) during the high water season. At the sites nearby breeding farms, chlorotetracycline was found to have the highest concentration of 1036 ng L(-1) in water and 14,666 ng g(-1) in sediments. According to the published data, the concentrations of sulfamethazine, sulfameter and TCs at these sites were higher than that in most rivers. The concentrations during the low water season were tens to hundreds of times higher than that in the high water season. The lower concentrations of TCs in the high water season might result from both dilution and photo-degradation, while dilution and bio-degradation might lead to the lower concentrations of SAs. However, further study is needed to clarify the specific reasons. Concerning the relationship between sediment and water samples, the pseudo-partitioning values of TCs were much higher than SAs. It indicates that the TCs are prone to accumulate in the sediment.     

Spatial distribution, electron microscopy analysis of titanium and its correlation to heavy metals: occurrence and sources of titanium nanomaterials in surface sediments from Xiamen Bay, China

Titanium nanomaterials are likely to sink into sediments in substantial quantities due to their wide use in a number of applications for decades. To assess the potential environmental consequences, a better understanding is required of the occurrence and sources of titanium (Ti) nanomaterials in sediments. In this research, we provide the first report of the Ti concentrations and the morphology and composition of Ti-based solids in surface sediments from Xiamen Bay, China. Results indicated that the anthropogenic Ti concentrations in the surface sediments from Xiamen Bay reached approximately 2.74 g kg(-1). Ti nanomaterials could be found in sediments with elevated Ti concentrations, which were often aggregated to a few hundred nanometers (<300 nm) and were composed of several spherical particles, less than 50 nm in size, that were made solely of TiO(x). However, Ti particles (approx. 300-700 nm) could be also found in sediments with lower Ti concentrations, which were presumably components of the natural clay mineral kaolinite. Ti nanomaterials could be easily distributed in sediments associated with elevated levels of organic matter and preferentially attach to those sediments with elevated fine fractions. As a sentinel, or tracer, for other nanomaterials, the field-scale investigation of Ti nanomaterials would contribute to increasing our knowledge on the behavior of engineered nanomaterials in an aquatic environment.     

关于“五水共治”的若干法律问题的思考

水的经济价值和生态价值对人类社会的发展起到了决定性的作用。随着农业发展和工业进步,水资源匮乏,生活用水不洁净等引发的水危机已经不断地引发社会矛盾。为此浙江省提出了“治污水、防洪水、排涝水、保供水、抓节水———‘五水共治’”的目标,明确了地方政府的责任与义务,但治理效果并不乐观。环保法的修订为“五水共治”提供了坚实的理论基础,并从确立全流域综合生态管理、建立水体保护的综合协调机制等方面提出了浙江省水资源治理策略。     

Water Environmental Degradation of the Heihe River Basin in Arid Northwestern China

Water environmental degradation is a major issue in the Heihe River Basin belonging to the inland river basin of temperate arid zone in northwestern China. Mankind’s activities, such as dense population and heavy dependence on irrigated agriculture, place immense pressure on available and limited water resources during the last century, especially the recent five decades. An investigation on the water environmental degradation in the Heihe River Basin and analysis of its causation were conducted. The results indicated that water environmental changes in the whole basin were tremendous mostly in the middle reaches, which reflected in surface water runoff change, decline of groundwater table and degeneration of surface water and groundwater quality. Some new forms of management based on traditional and scientific knowledge must be introduced to solve problems of water environmental degradation in the Heihe River Basin.
