Enhanced catalytic oxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenol via singlet oxygen dominated peroxymonosulfate activation on CoOOH@Bi2O3 composite

• Bi₂O₃ cannot directly activate PMS. • Bi₂O₃ loading increased the specific surface area and conductivity of CoOOH. • Larger specific surface area provided more active sites for PMS activation. • Faster electron transfer rate promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species. • ¹O₂ was identified as dominant ROS in the CoOOH@Bi₂O₃/PMS system. Cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) has been turned out to be a high-efficiency catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. In this study, CoOOH was loaded on bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃) using a facile chemical precipitation process to improve its catalytic activity and stability. The result showed that the catalytic performance on the 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation was significantly enhanced with only 11 wt% Bi₂O₃ loading. The degradation rate in the CoOOH@Bi₂O₃/PMS system (0.2011 min⁻¹) was nearly 6.0 times higher than that in the CoOOH/PMS system (0.0337 min⁻¹). Furthermore, CoOOH@Bi₂O₃ displayed better stability with less Co ions leaching (16.4% lower than CoOOH) in the PMS system. These phenomena were attributed to the Bi₂O₃ loading which significantly increased the conductivity and specific surface area of the CoOOH@Bi₂O₃ composite. Faster electron transfer facilitated the redox reaction of Co (III) / Co (II) and thus was more favorable for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Meanwhile, larger specific surface area furnished more active sites for PMS activation. More importantly, there were both non-radical (¹O₂) and radicals (SO₄⁻•, O₂⁻•, and OH•) in the CoOOH@Bi₂O₃/PMS system and ¹O₂ was the dominant one. In general, this study provided a simple and practical strategy to enhance the catalytic activity and stability of cobalt oxyhydroxide in the PMS system.     

Assessment of future climate change impacts on water-heat-salt migration in unsaturated frozen soil using CoupModel

• A model coupling water-heat-salt of unsaturated frozen soil was established. • Future temperature, precipitation, and evaporation increase in freeze–thaw period. • Soil water, heat, and salt transport are closely coupled during freeze–thaw period. • Freeze–thaw cycles and future climate change can exacerbate salinization. The transport mechanisms of water, heat, and salt in unsaturated frozen soil, as well as its response to future climate change are in urgent need of study. In this study, western Jilin Province in north-eastern China was studied to produce a model of coupled water-heat-salt in unsaturated frozen soil using CoupModel. The water, heat, and salt dynamics of unsaturated frozen soil under three representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios were simulated to analyze the effects of future climate change on unsaturated frozen soil. The results show that water, heat, and salt migration are tightly coupled, and the soil salt concentration in the surface layer (10 cm) exhibits explosive growth after freezing and thawing. The future (2020–2099) meteorological factors in the study area were predicted using the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM). For RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios, future temperatures during the freeze–thaw period increased by 2.68°C, 3.18°C, and 4.28°C, respectively; precipitation increased by 30.28 mm, 28.41 mm, and 32.17 mm, respectively; and evaporation increased by 93.57 mm, 106.95 mm, and 130.57 mm, respectively. Climate change will shorten the freeze–thaw period, advance the soil melting time from April to March, and enhance water and salt transport. Compared to the baseline period (1961–2005), future soil salt concentrations at 10 cm increased by 1547.54 mg/L, 1762.86 mg/L, and 1713.66 mg/L under RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5, respectively. The explosive salt accumulation is more obvious. Effective measures should be taken to prevent the salinization of unsaturated frozen soils and address climate change.     

湖北农村燃柴和燃煤家庭大气多环芳烃污染特征和呼吸暴露风险

以具有致癌毒性的多环芳烃(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,PAHs)为对象,本研究于2014年1月(冬季)在湖北恩施农村地区使用煤炭和薪柴的家庭中同步采集了室内外空气样品,分析了室内外空气中28种PAHs(∑PAH28)的浓度水平、成分谱和粒径分布,重点比较了不同燃料家庭的污染特征差异,并据此估算了暴露人群的健康风险。结果表明,在燃煤家庭,∑PAH28的室内和室外浓度分别是(507±449) ng·m~(-3)和(120±18) ng·m~(-3);而在燃柴家庭,其室内和室外∑PAH28浓度分别是(849±421) ng·m~(-3)和(268±44) ng·m~(-3)。受室内排放源影响,室内PAHs浓度显著高于室外,室内外∑PAH28浓度比值在2～13。颗粒态PAHs主要集中在细颗粒物上,PM1.0(空气动力学直径小于1.0μm)上的PAHs占到颗粒态PAHs的50%～80%。燃煤家庭的居民因PAHs呼吸暴露导致的终生致癌风险的中位数是1.8×10~(-5)(四分位距是1.2×10~(-5)～3.1×10~(-5)),使用薪柴的家庭人群暴露风险7.1×10~(-5)(6.5×10~(-5)～7.8×10~(-5))。无论是燃煤还是薪柴的家庭,居民因PAHs呼吸暴露导致的终生致癌风险均超过10-6的可接受风险水平,表明该地区的高浓度PAHs污染致使当地人群存在较高的致癌风险。     

湿润亚热带森林锰、铜、锌随降雨分配的迁移动态特征

为探究森林生态系统中重金属随降雨分配迁移的特征,连续观测两年降雨,对比分析Mn、Cu、Zn在穿透雨、树干茎流、地表径流中浓度、输出量、变异情况的差异,并讨论了重金属迁移规律的产生机制.结果表明,林型对雨水的再分配有较大影响.米槠次生林树干茎流水量极显著大于杉木人工成熟林,故前者树干茎流的重金属浓度低于后者;对于林内雨,穿透雨中重金属浓度在米槠次生林（阔叶林）更高,树干茎流中重金属浓度则在杉木人工成熟林（针叶林）更高.整体而言,林内雨的重金属浓度在旱季高于雨季,表现出明显的季节变化;林型对地表径流的影响较复杂,体现在植被类型、林龄、土壤理化性质等方面.本研究中,Mn随地表径流的输出量在米槠次生林显著大于其它3种林型;Zn在较大林龄的米槠次生林和杉木人工成熟林有更大的输出量;降雨分配过程中3种元素的浓度变异情况有所不同,表现为Mn变异最大,Zn次之,Cu最稳定.本研究结果对进一步了解森林生态系统中重金属的迁移特征提供了依据.     

基于净初级生产力的生态足迹模型及其与传统模型的对比分析

生态足迹模型因其可以定量度量生态可持续发展、计算简单、结论易懂、全球可比等特点,提出之后得到了大量的关注和应用,同时也面临着一些质疑和争论。文章介绍了一种基于净初级生产力的生态足迹理论和计算方法,并以该方法和传统生态足迹模型分别计算了中国1961—2007年的生态足迹,对计算结果进行了对比分析。结果表明,两种生态足迹模型的计算结果具有较高的相关性,表明基于净初级生产力的生态足迹模型结果可信。该种方法能够克服传统生态足迹模型的部分缺陷,在均衡因子选取、土地生态功能假设、CO2吸收等方面有了较大改进,能够较好地反映不同生态系统在生产力上的差异;在时间序列分析方面也更加合理。但该方法本身同时存在着计算方法不完善、对生态系统变化不敏感等问题,如何更紧密地结合生态足迹和净初级生产力是需要进一步研究的内容。

采用体外细胞暴露实验研究了人肺腺癌细胞系(A549)单层细胞暴露于50和500μg·mL-1两种浓度纳米氧化钛、纳米氧化硅、碳纳米管和晶体石英砂等四种颗粒物后产生的氧化应激和炎症反应.用细胞活度、细胞内活性氧总量和细胞上清液中白细胞介素8(IL-8)表达量表征暴露效应.研究结果表明,纳米氧化钛、纳米氧化硅和碳纳米管在体外暴露实验过程中均发生不同程度的聚集;细胞暴露48h后,三种纳米颗粒物均使A549细胞活度下降,诱导细胞产生过量活性氧,同时刺激细胞IL-8表达量增高;三种纳米颗粒物中,纳米氧化钛和纳米氧化硅对细胞活度影响较大,碳纳米管诱发的炎症效应较另两种纳米材料强.     

镉胁迫对不同砧穗组合葡萄植株镉吸收规律和果实品质的影响

以3年生盆栽不同砧穗组合葡萄植株为供试材料,加入氯化镉（CdCl2）以模拟成15mg·kg-1Cd2＋的Cd污染土壤,研究镉在不同砧穗组合葡萄植株内的吸收和分配规律以及对果实品质的影响。结果表明：Cd在不同组合葡萄植株的积累浓度由高到低顺序均为：根系〉茎〉叶片〉果实,不同组合葡萄植株镉含量和果实品质存在显著的差异。所有葡萄植株的果实Cd积累质量分数均低于我国绿色食品Cd限量标准（0.03mg·kg-1,FW）,然而自根苗果实Cd质量分数（0.028mg·kg-1,FW）非常接近0.03mg·kg-1FW,嫁接葡萄植株果实的Cd含量均显著低于自根苗,大约为自根苗的20%～86%,Y/华佳8号、Y/SO4和Y/5BB葡萄果实的Cd含量较低。嫁接降低了葡萄果实中的Cd含量,从一定程度上减轻了人类的Cd暴露风险。不同组合葡萄植株果实的品质存在差异,嫁接提高了Cd胁迫下葡萄果实的可溶性糖（Y/SO4除外）和花青苷含量,降低了可滴定酸含量,提高了果实品质。     

菲高效降解菌的降解特性及其受蒙脱石的影响研究

通过选择性富集培养与纯化,从广州油制气厂附近的污染土壤中分离获得一株能以菲为唯一碳源和能源,快速生长的优势菌株（编号为YZ-1）。16S rDNA序列分析结果表明,YZ-1菌株为琼氏不动杆菌（Acinetobacter junii）。当无机盐培养液中菲初始质量浓度为100mg·L-1时,45h内该菌株对菲的降解率可达到99.5%。YZ-1菌株的最佳生长条件为pH7.4,温度30℃,摇床转速160r·min-1。加入蒙脱石矿物之后,在降解的初期（前16h）表现为促进菲的生物降解作用,但随着时间的延长,菲的降解速率逐渐低于不加蒙脱石体系,并随蒙脱石含量或菲质量浓度的增加,此抑制延缓现象愈加明显。矿物对高浓度的菲具有吸附分散作用,而对低浓度的菲具有吸附保护作用。     

天津地区菲的空间分异多介质归趋模型

在稳态假设条件下研究了菲在天津市的多介质分布和相间迁移.在探讨了废气排放和土壤有机质含量和土壤中菲降解速率常数的空间变异的基础上,建立了具有空间变异特征的多介质模型.并根据实际观测数据对平均浓度加以验证.所研究的4种介质的模型误差在0.5个对数单位左右,完全符合区域多介质模型的精度要求.土壤菲含量空间计算结果和实际观测数据在宏观尺度上表现出一致的趋势作为过程模型,这样的结果有助于解释形成其空间分异的原因,也为进一步研究奠定了基础模型计算结果表明,土壤和沉积物是该地区菲的主要汇,特别是沉积物中积累了菲总量的70%以上.大气菲的空间分布格局基本服从其人为排放特征,而土壤有机质含量对菲降解速率的影响决定了其在土壤中的分布.
