Kinetics of nitrobenzene degradation coupled to indigenous microorganism dissimilatory iron reduction stimulated by emulsified vegetable oil

Widespread contamination by nitrobenzene(NB) in sediments and groundwater requires better understanding of the biogeochemical removal process of the pollutant. NB degradation, coupled with dissimilatory iron reduction, is one of the most efficient pollutant removal methods. However, research on NB degradation coupled to indigenous microorganism dissimilatory iron reduction stimulated by electron donors is still experimental. A model for remediation in an actual polluted site does not currently exist.Therefore, in this study, the dynamics was derived from the Michaelis–Menten model(when the mass ratio of emulsified vegetable oil and NB reached the critical value 91:1). The effect of SO_4~(2-), NO_3~-, Ca~(2+)/Mg~(2+), and the grain size of aquifer media on the dynamics were studied, and the NB degradation dynamic model was then modified based on the most significant factors. Utilizing the model, the remediation time could be calculated in a contaminated site.

富氧空位MoO2强化Fe2+/过一硫酸盐体系降解四环素

采用NaBH₄超声还原法合成了富含氧空位的MoO₂,并通过多种表征方法证明了氧空位的存在.10-MoO₂作为助催化剂显著增强了Fe²⁺/过一硫酸盐体系催化性能,构建的10-MoO₂/Fe²⁺/PMS体系可快速降解四环素（TC）,10 min内对TC的降解率接近100%.系统研究了各种影响因素对TC降解效果的影响,探讨了助催化剂的稳定性及该体系的实用性.电化学、铁离子循环及自由基捕获实验的结果表明,由于氧空位（O_vacancy）的存在,降低了MoO₂的电阻,增强了电子转移能力,加速了Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺循环,提高了活性氧物种的产率,从而增强了Fe²⁺/PMS类芬顿体系的催化活性.本研究为类芬顿法处理抗生素废水提供了一种新的视角.     

农村污水设施车载式剩余污泥脱水技术与设备研究

日益增长的农村污水设施剩余污泥已成为农村污水治理工作开展面临的新难题,农村剩余污泥适合采用多台污水设施共用车载式剩余污泥脱水设备进行脱水后收运集中处理,而农村道路的宽度和限高以及污水设施与道路间的距离等是主要的限制因素,因此急需研发适合农村作业环境的小型车载式剩余污泥脱水关键技术与设备.本研究的车载式剩余污泥脱水通过主要脱水设备负压运行方式,有效减小设备的尺寸,设备外观尺寸为5.995 m×1.905 m×2.56 m,吸污管道50 m.结果表明：可适应农村的作业环境,满足90%以上的农村小型污水处理设施使用.该设备行驶油耗7.2 L·h^-1,工作油耗1.88 L·h^-1;脱水后的污泥含水率80%左右.模拟案例表明,车载式剩余污泥脱水设备脱水收运方式比不脱水直接收运方式每台户用小型设施每年可节省污泥收运费103.3元,在一个安装了4400台小型污水设施的农村区域,每年可节省污泥收运费约45.5万元.     

Sorption isotherm studies of Cd(II) ions using living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch

The present work reports the use of living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica for the biosorption of cadmium ions. For a better understanding of the biosorption characteristics, three fractions of removed cadmium (total, bioadsorbed and intracellular) were measured in the cells after 24 and 72 h of exposure to different initial cadmium concentrations (0.6–45 mg L^?1). Both the Langmuir and Freundlich models were suitable for describing the sorption of cadmium ions by this microalga. The maximum sorption capacity was estimated to be 40.22 mg Cd g^?1 after 72 h using the Langmuir sorption model. In the lower cadmium concentrations, metal removed intracellularly was higher than that removed on the microalgal cell surface. Therefore, the intracellular fraction contributed more to the total removed cadmium than the fraction bioadsorbed to the cellular surface. The results showed that the cadmium removal capacity using living biomass could be much more effective than with non-living biomass due to the intracellular bioaccumulation. According to the microorganism selected and its tolerance to the toxic effect of the metal, the cadmium content in the intracellular fraction can become very significant, just like it happened with Tetraselmis.     

战场燃烧环境与单兵阻燃防护

据战场烧伤研究报道。在硝烟弥漫的战场上。因战火烧伤的人数约占伤亡总人数的四分之一。当人体总面积有11-30％的Ⅱ度烧伤或10％的Ⅲ度烧伤。士兵就会丧失战斗力。朝鲜战争中。美军使用燃烧弹打击我军，造成了至少3万人的烧伤和死亡；越战中。美军用凝固弹打击战场掩体和目标。至少造成了10万人烧伤或死亡；阿富汗战争中。美军使用温压弹打击敌人，造成了数以万计的人财损失；伊拉克战争中，美军有两万多名士兵受伤。但至少有3000多名士兵被战火烧伤或烧死。据我国公安部报告。
