铜铈掺杂六铝酸盐的脱硝性能

用共沉淀法制备用于脱除NO的六铝酸盐催化剂LaMxAl12-xO19(M =Cu,Ce,CuCe).用XRD、H2-TPR和BET对催化剂进行了结构和物性表征.用微型催化反应装置考察了催化剂在CO选择性催化还原NO中的活性.结果表明,Cu离子易于进入六铝酸盐晶格内,形成完整的六铝酸盐结构.Ce离子不易于进入六铝酸盐晶格内,主要以CeO2的形式存在.在CO+ NO条件下,3种催化剂都表现出较好的脱硝活性,LaCuCeAl10O19中由于Cu离子与Ce离子间产生协同作用,该催化剂的脱硝活性有所增加.加入SO2后,3种催化剂都有不同程度的失活现象发生,其中LaCuAl11O19催化剂受SO2中毒影响最严重,LaCuCeAl10O19催化剂的脱硝活性在三者中最好.

南京大气细粒子中重金属污染特征及来源解析简

利用2011年1月、4月、7月和10月在南京市区和北郊采集的气溶胶样品,研究了南京大气细粒子中Zn、Pb、Hg、As和Cd 5种重金属的污染水平,通过元素相关性分析和因子分析方法,对细粒子中这些重金属的污染来源进行了初步解析。结果表明,南京大气细粒子及其重金属污染严重,北郊普遍比市区严重;As严重超标,Cd在南京北郊超标约5倍,Zn在市区与北郊的质量浓度均高于其他重金属元素。每种重金属的浓度均随季节而变化。市区细粒子中,As和Zn可能主要与燃煤、轮胎灰尘和建筑扬尘等有关,Pb、Hg和Cd主要来自交通尘、城市垃圾焚烧等。北郊细粒子中,As、Hg和Zn主要来源于燃煤、钢铁冶炼等工业,Pb和Cd主要与农作物秸秆燃烧、汽车尾气、道路扬尘等影响有关。

Degradation characteristics and metabolic pathway of 17alpha-ethynylestradiol by Sphingobacterium sp. JCR5

A 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2)-degrading bacterium was isolated from the activated sludge of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of an oral contraceptives producing factory in Beijing, China. On the basis of its morphology, biochemical properties and the 16S rDNA sequence analysis, this strain was identified as Sphingobacterium sp. JCR5. This strain grew on EE2 as sole source of carbon and energy, and metabolized up to 87% of the substrate added (30 mgl-1) within 10 d at 30 degrees C. In addition to EE2 the strain could be cultivated on steroidal estrogens like estrone (E1), 17beta-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3) and mestranol (MeEE2), the intermediates of contraceptive medicine processing and on some aromatic compounds. Mass spectrum analysis of the EE2 degradation showed that in the first step it is oxygenized to E1, 2-hydroxy-2,4-dienevaleric acid and 2-hydroxy-2,4-diene-1,6-dioic acid, which are the main catabolic intermediates. The former was analogous to the pathway of a previously reported testosterone-degrading bacterium Comamonas testosteroni TA441 and the latter is a metabolite with a different cleavage position of 3-hydroxy-4,5-9,10-disecoestrane-1(10),2-diene-5,9,17-trione-4-oic acid from the former.     

Degradation of phenol by Acinetobacter strain isolated from aerobic granules

Aerobic granules effectively degrade phenol at high concentrations from which no Acinetobacter species, that can effectively degrade high concentrations of phenol, have ever been isolated from aerobic granules. The phenol-fed aerobic granule studied was made by merging several smaller granules, each with a core of proteins and nucleic acids surrounded by an outer layer enriched with polysaccharides. In the present study, a strain of Acinetobacter sp. was isolated from the phenol-fed aerobic granules and was identified using DNA sequencing. The fluorescent in situ hybridisation combined with the confocal laser scanning microscope test revealed that the isolated Acinetobacter strain was mainly distributed in the core regime of granule. Batch tests revealed that the suspended Acinetobacter strain could effectively degrade phenol at an initial phenol concentration of up to 1000 mg l(-1) with no cell growth taking place at a phenol concentration of 1500 mg l(-1). The Haldane model describes the inhibitory kinetics of the phenol degradation data. The suspended Acinetobacter strain had a propensity to attach to the surface of sterilized polyurethane foam at a concentration of 12.3mg dry cells mg(-1) dry foam. The immobilized cells could not only degrade phenol at a rate similar to the suspended cells at phenol concentration of 500 mg l(-1), but also effectively degraded phenol at 1500 mg l(-1). The polysaccharides outer layer protected the Acinetobacter strain from phenol's toxicity; while the strain may also contribute to bioaggregation of the granule for its high propensity to attach to solid surface.     

Probabilistic risk assessment for zinc in some commercial dishwashing detergents: the nitrification processes in US POTWs

A US patent was issued to a commercial dishwashing detergent composition in which soluble zinc is used to protect glassware from corrosion. Some of the consumed detergents are discharged as wastewater and treated in publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). A probabilistic risk assessment was conducted to quantitatively determine the risk of zinc in the detergents to the nitrification processes in US POTWs. The procedure for POTW local limit development designed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was used as a reference when conducting the risk assessment. The assessment took into account the background zinc concentrations in POTW influents and potential shock loading patterns, and was conducted at different market penetration rates (MPRs) for the US market of detergents based on the patented formula. The assessment involved several conservative factors including conservative determination of primary treatment efficiency, bioavailability, inhibition concentration, configuration of the nitrification process, as well as background zinc concentration in wastewater. With the conservative factors in the assessment, it was found that zinc in detergents does not present a significant risk to the nitrification processes in POTWs at a MPR up to 10%. It was noted that additional analyses would be required when the MPR is higher than 10% to adequately account for the effects of the conservative factors on the result of the assessment.     

Impacts of climatic and atmospheric changes on carbon dynamics in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

We used the Dynamic Land Ecosystem Model (DLEM) to estimate carbon (C) storage and to analyze the impacts of environmental changes on C dynamics from 1971 to 2001 in Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GRSM). Our simulation results indicate that forests in GRSM have a C density as high as 15.9kgm(-2), about twice the regional average. Total carbon storage in GRSM in 2001 was 62.2Tg (T=10(12)), 54% of which was in vegetation, the rest in the soil detritus pool. Higher precipitation and lower temperatures in the higher elevation forests result in larger total C pool sizes than in forests at lower elevations. During the study period, the CO(2) fertilization effect dominated ozone and climatic stresses (temperature and precipitation), and the combination of these multiple factors resulted in net accumulation of 0.9Tg C in this ecosystem.
