Effects of silver nanoparticles with different dosing regimens and exposure media on artificial ecosystem

Due to the wide use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in various fields, it is crucial to explore the potential negative impacts on the aquatic environment of AgNPs entering into the environment in different ways. In this study, comparative experiments were conducted to investigate the toxicological impacts of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) with two kinds of dosing regimens, continuous and one-time pulsed dosing, in different exposure media (deionized water and XiangJiang River water). There were a number of quite different experimental results (including 100% mortality of zebrafish, decline in the activity of enzymes, and lowest number and length of adventitious roots) in the one-time pulsed dosing regimen at high PVP-AgNP concentration exposure (HOE) compared to the three other treatments. Meanwhile, we determined that the concentration of leached silver ions from PVP-AgNPs was too low to play a role in zebrafish death. Those results showed that HOE led to a range of dramatic ecosystem impacts which were more destructive than those of other treatments. Moreover, compared with the continuous dosing regimen, despite the fact that higher toxicity was observed for HOE, there was little difference in the removal of total silver from the aquatic environment for the different dosing regimens. No obvious differences in ecological impacts were observed between different water columns under low concentration exposure. Overall, this work highlighted the fact that the toxicity of AgNPs was impacted by different dosing regimens in different exposure media, which may be helpful for assessments of ecological impacts on aquatic environments.     

三峡水库支流回水区富营养化时空分布特征

为了解三峡水库175m水位蓄水后库区支流回水区富营养化现状,探索支流回水区富营养化时空变化规律,在三峡库区支流回水区开展了富营养化普查和监测。结果表明,库区支流总磷浓度为0.035~0.65 mg/L,平均浓度为0.157 mg/L,总氮浓度为0.681~5.690 mg/L,平均浓度为2.037mg/L,远远高于湖库水体出现富营养化的总磷和总氮临界浓度0.02、0.2 m g/L,库区支流营养盐条件适宜藻类生长。在每年4~9月的春季、盛夏和夏秋之交的非暴雨时段,当气温和光照适宜,支流回水核心区富营养化现象明显,出现藻类"疯长"的水华现象,但受气温变化影响明显,库区的富营养化现象仍是间歇的,局部的。     

梁滩河沉积物中氮磷垂直分布研究

以梁滩河为研究对象,从上游到下游布置了15个采样点,研究了这些采样点的氮、磷浓度,并以其中几个采样点为主要对象,着重研究了氮、磷在不同深度的垂直分布情况。结果表明,梁滩河的上游左支氮、磷浓度已经较高,而上游右支受污染严重,特别是TN严重超标,说明长期受到生活污水和农业废水的污染。分析其垂直分布规律,TN、TP最高值大多出现在中间层,TP在底层的浓度总体要比表层高,而TN在底层的浓度总体要比表层低。梁滩河沉积物中氮、磷主要集中在中间层,中间层是营养物储存的主要场所。     

Synthesis of highly effective absorbents with waste quenching blast furnace slag to remove Methyl Orange from aqueous solution

Water quenching blast furnace slag(WQBFS) is widely produced in the blast furnace iron making process. It is mainly composed of CaO, MgO, Al_2O_3, and SiO_2 with low contents of other metal elements such as Fe, Mn, Ti, K and Na. In this study, WQBFS was treated with grinding, hydrochloric acid acidification, filtration, filtrate extraction by alkali liquor and a hydration reaction. Then BFS micropowder(BFSMP), BFS acidified solid(BFSAS) and BFS acid-alkali precipitate(BFSAP) were obtained, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller(BET)specific surface area. The decoloration efficiency for Methyl Orange(MO) was used to evaluate the adsorptive ability of the three absorbents. The effects of adsorptive reaction conditions(p H and temperature of solution, reaction time, sorbent dosage and initial concentration) on MO removal were also investigated in detail. The results indicated that BFSAP performed better in MO removal than the other two absorbents. When the p H value of MO solutions was in the range 3.0–13.0, the degradation efficiency of a solution with initial MO concentration of 25 mg/L reached 99.97% for a reaction time of 25 min at 25°C.The maximum adsorption capacity of BFSAP for MO was 167 mg/g. Based on optimized experiments, the results conformed with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Among inorganic anions, SO_4~(2-)and PO_4~(3-)had significant inhibitory effects on MO removal in BFSAP treatment due to ion-exchange adsorption.     

基于铝盐混凝污泥的新型LCFM吸附性能评价

利用自来水厂铝盐混凝污泥为主要原料开发出一种新型轻质陶粒滤料(LCFM),评价了LCFM在静态吸附及动态过滤条件下对污染物的去除效果。结果表明,在静态吸附温度为(25.0±1.0)℃、pH=7,t吸附=24 h条件下,LCFM对氨氮、总磷和有机物具有良好的吸附效果。在过滤系统中控制进水pH=7.0~8.0,过滤周期约10 h时,系统对氨氮、总磷和COD等污染物的去除效果较好,去除率分别为80%、95%和70%。比表面积分析仪分析显示,LCFM中的孔道以中微孔为主,集中分布在60.0 nm左右,比表面积为71.47 m2/g,同时,LCFM中含有的金属离子在吸附过程中与污染物可能存在的交换反应或沉淀反应(xPO43- +3Mx+=M3(PO4)x)强化了LCFM对污染物的吸附效果。

低强度超声波强化低温SMBR脱氮的性能与机制研究

考察了低温条件下低强度超声波对SMBR脱氮的强化作用,并研究了对硝化细菌脱氢酶活性和细胞通透性的影响。结果表明,经超声波强化后,SMBR对NH3-N5的去除效果得到明显提高,总去除率由启动完成时的65.94%升至84.01%,且长期运行稳定,说明超声波解除了低温对硝化作用的抑制。0.28 W/L超声波辐照20 min,可使硝化细菌脱氢酶活性提高81.19%,0.14 W/L的超声波辐照10 min使脱氢酶活性提高43.18%。0.28 W/L的超声功率密度对脱氢酶的活性提高程度最大,因此是较合适的超声波参数。     

荷木(Schima superba)水力导度的干湿季变化及个体差异

通过对不同个体水力导度(KL)的研究,揭示水力导度在树木水分利用中的关键作用,可为深入研究森林水分循环提供理论依据.采用热消散探针液流测定系统连续监测广州地区6棵不同大小荷木(Schima superba)样树的液流密度(JS),结合树木的叶片水势(ΨL)、土壤湿度、树高、边材面积(AS)、冠幅等参数,分析整树水力导度的日变化和干湿季变化,揭示不同大小样树水力导度的变化规律.结果显示:不同胸径大小的6棵样树液流密度差别明显,液流密度最大值未出现在胸径最大的样树中,而是在胸径略小的树木中.通过测定6棵样树的液流密度值可以进一步求算出样树的整树水力导度,总体上讲,6棵树的日均水力导度表现出明显的起伏波动;其中干季水力导度(0.017 g m-2s-1 M Pa-1)略低于湿季(0.019 g m-2 s-1 M Pa-1),但差异并不明显.样树土壤/叶片水势差与平均液流密度显著相关(P<0.0 01),而样树树形特征和水力导度之间关系表现为水力导度与树高呈现明显相关性(P=0.016),与胸径、冠幅相关性均不显著.上述结果表明,荷木水力导度表现出明显的日变化,其大小在一定程度上受到树形指标的影响.
