Enhanced activation of peroxydisulfate by strontium modified BiFeO3perovskite for ciprofloxacin degradation

A series of Sr-doped BiFeO₃ perovskites (Bi_1-xSr_xFeO₃, BSFO) fabricated via sol-gel method was applied as peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. Various technologies were used to characterize the morphology and physicochemical features of prepared BSFO samples and the results indicated that Sr was successfully inserted into the perovskites lattice. The catalytic performance of BiFeO₃ was significantly boosted by strontium doping. Specifically, Bi_0.9Sr_0.1FeO₃ (0.1BSFO) exhibited the highest catalytic performance for PDS activation to remove CIP, where 95% of CIP (10 mg/L) could be degraded with the addition of 1 g/L 0.1BSFO and 1 mmol/L PDS within 60 min. Moreover, 0.1BSFO displayed high reusability and stability with lower metal leaching. Weak acidic condition was preferred to neutral and alkaline conditions in 0.1BSFO/PDS system. The boosted catalytic performance can be interpreted as the lower oxidation state of Fe and the existence of affluent oxygen vacancies generated by Sr doping, that induced the formation of singlet oxygen (¹O₂) which was confirmed as the dominant reactive species by radical scavenging studies and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests. The catalytic oxidation mechanism related to major ¹O₂ and minor free radicals was proposed. Current study opens a new avenue to develop effective A-site modified perovskite and expands their application for PDS activation in wastewater remediation.     

北方城市冬季室内环境空气中正负离子浓度分布特征

使用ITC201A空气负离子测量仪测定了中国北方地区冬季室内正负离子浓度水平,按照空气质量评价标准评价了室内空气质量等级,研究了室内空间的正负离子浓度日变化,讨论了正负离子浓度与室内温度湿度之间的相关关系。研究结果表明:①中国东北地区冬季室内正负离子浓度水平极低,负离子平均为浓度46.9个/cm3,正离子平均浓度为52.0个/cm3,室内空气质量等级为中度和重度污染。②室内正负离子平均浓度在中午时刻均达到全天中的峰值阶段,全天中大部分时间正离子浓度高于负离子浓度;在室内人群活动和环境因子等因素复杂的影响下,正负离子平均浓度此消彼长的发生波动变化。③研究期间室内正负离子浓度变化与空气温度和湿度间未发现显著线性相关关系,环境因子的综合作用影响着室内正负离子的浓度变化水平。     

葫芦科化学分类学

葫芦科为全世界约有110～122个属,775～960种的大科,我国有38属,约150种.该科植物中许多种类作为栽培植物,用作观赏、果蔬或药用,其化学成分十分复杂,大多数属中具有葫芦素类化合物.由于长期的栽培和人为繁育,化学成分的组成变得更加复杂,而化学成分的研究也不是十分全面,难以找到规律性.本文在葫芦科化学成分研究的基础上,探讨了其化学成分与各个属植物之间的相互联系.本文的讨论对整个葫芦科的化学分类学特征的化合物很难确定,但从化学系统学的角度,以葫芦科各个属的化学成分研究结果为基础,结合分类学的分属依据,讨论了葫芦科近缘属间关系,化学成分的结构类型基本上支持Takhtajan的葫芦科分类系统.表1参49     

花生对土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯的吸收累积特征

选择邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(Dibutyl phthalate,DBP)和邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP)作为目标污染物,通过盆栽试验研究花生(Arachis hypogaea)对土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯的吸收累积特征.结果表明:邻苯二甲酸酯污染对青花7号花生生物量无显著影响,而青花5号花生生物量则显著降低,在污染水平I(40 mg·kg-1)和污染水平II(80 mg·kg-1)下花生籽粒产量分别减少24.11%和48.75%.随着土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯污染水平的增高,花生植株各部位的DBP和DEHP含量均呈显著升高趋势,花生根系DBP和DEHP含量显著高于其它部位.在2个污染水平下,花生籽粒对DBP和DEHP的富集量占植株富集总量的比例最高.花生种植后土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯残留量均有所降低,在相同的污染水平下DEHP残留量显著高于DBP.花生籽粒对DBP的富集系数高于DEHP的生物富集系数,分别介于0.50~1.87和0.53~0.98之间.
