Novel chitosan–ethylene glycol hydrogel for the removal of aqueous perfluorooctanoic acid

It is urgent to explore an effective removal method for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) due to its recalcitrant nature. In this study, a novel chitosan-based hydrogel (CEGH) was prepared with a simple method using chitosan and ethylene glycol through a repeated freezing–thawing procedure. The adsorption of PFOA anions to CEGH agreed well to the Freundlich–Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity as high as 1275.9?mg/g, which is higher than reported values of most adsorbents for PFOA. The adsorption was influenced by experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the main removal mechanism was the ionic hydrogen bond interaction between carbonyl groups (COO^?) of PFOA and protonated amine (NH⁺) of the CEGH adsorbent. Therefore, CEGH is a very attractive adsorbent that can be used to remove PFOA from water in the future.     

Monitoring gas- and particulate-phase short-chain polychlorinated paraffins in the urban air of Dalian by a self-developed passive sampler

The concentration of short-chain polychlorinated paraffins(SCCPs) in the urban air of Dalian,China was monitored from September 2016 to August 2017 with a self-developed passive sampler(PAS1) and an active high-volume sampler, simultaneously. PAS1 successfully collected the entire target SCCPs in the ambient air. Air SCCPs sampled by PAS1 were found be in the linear uptake stage during 181 days of sampling. Passive and active samples showed comparable congener profiles, and the dominant contributors of SCCPs in the two kinds of samples were similar. A significant linear correlation was observed between the total concentration of SCCPs sampled by PAS1 and active sampler in the four seasons. The passive sampling rates of the PAS1 for the gas and particulate phases of SCCPs were measured. The quantitative structure–property relationship of the sampling rate of PAS1(Rair) for gas-phase SCCPs was studied. From the molecular point of view, Rairwas mainly affected by the molecular weight and sub-cooled liquid vapor pressure of SCCPs. In general, SCCPs in the urban air of Dalian mainly existed in gas phase,lower molecular weight SCCPs primarily occurred in the gas phase, whereas higher molecular weight SCCPs were predominately adsorbed or absorbed on airborne particles. The air concentration of SCCPs in the four seasons were different, the correlation of the concentration of SCCPs in the air with the meteorology parameters was conducted. The exposure risk by intake air SCCPs of the residents around the sampling sites was evaluated according to the European risk assessment standards.     

滇池水体总悬浮物散射系数参数化模型

总悬浮物的散射系数是水体非常重要的固有光学量之一,散射系数的参数化研究,对于水体生物光学模型的构建具有非常重要的意义.2009年9月对滇池水体25个样点进行野外采样,对滇池水体水质参数、悬浮物的吸收、散射特征进行分析,并利用乘幂模型对散射系数进行参数化,分析了模型精度与色素颗粒物吸收之间的关系,进而改进乘幂模型.结果表明,在色素颗粒物吸收较强的波段,普通乘幂模型的平均相对误差为0.08,模型改进后相对误差缩小为0.02;在色素颗粒物吸收较弱的波段,会出现模型的过修正,这主要取决于色素颗粒物的吸收,因此,没有必要对乘幂模型进行修正.

Efficient oxidation of bisphenol A with oxysulfur radicals generated by iron-catalyzed autoxidation of sulfite at circumneutral pH under UV irradiation

There is actually a need for efficient methods to clean waters and wastewaters from pollutants such as the bisphenol A endocrine disrupter. Advanced oxidation processes currently use persulfate or peroxymonosulfate to generate sulfate radicals. There are, however, few reports on the use of sulfite to generate sulfate radicals, instead of persulfate or peroxymonosulfate, except for dyes. Here we studied the degradation of the bisphenol A using iron(III) as catalyst and sulfite as precursor of oxysulfur radicals, at initial pH of 6, under UV irradiation at 395 nm. The occurrence of radicals was checked by quenching with tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol. Bisphenol A degradation products were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS). Results reveal that iron(III) or iron(II) have a similar oxidation efficiency. Quenching experiments show that the oxidation rate of bisphenol A is 47.7 % for SO ₄ ^·? , 37.3 % for SO ₅ ^·? and 15 % for HO^·. Bisphenol A degradation products include catechol and quinone derivatives. Overall, our findings show that the photo-iron(III)–sulfite system is efficient for the oxidation of bisphenol A at circumneutral pH.

木质纤维素/火山灰基地聚合物表征及对Pb（II）的吸附性能

地聚合物（Geopolymer,简称GP）是一种具有三维立体网状结构的无机聚合物,对重金属有良好的吸附性能.以火山灰掺杂木质纤维素为原料制备了木质纤维素/火山灰基地聚合物,考察了投加量、pH、时间、温度和初始离子浓度等因素对掺杂木质纤维素前后的GP吸附Pb（II）的影响,通过对比说明掺杂对吸附性能的提升作用.结果表明,在55 ℃,pH=5、投加量为0.6 g·L^-1、Pb（II）初始浓度为400 mg·L^-1时,掺杂木质纤维素得到的GP（简称L-GP）对Pb（II）最大吸附量可达460.83 mg·g^-1,远优于仅用火山灰所得的GP的223.21 mg·g^-1.两种GP对Pb（II）的吸附均很好地符合二级动力学规律和Langmuir方程,且反应过程都是熵增吸热的过程.通过XRD等分析表明,木质纤维素掺杂火山灰作为原料而制备所得的复合材料保留了GP的结构特点,而且能够利用木质纤维素上丰富的官能团从而提升GP的吸附量,是一种优良高效的吸附剂.本文对利用火山灰和木质纤维素制备高性能GP及其潜在应用具有重要指导意义.     

共基质下微生物燃料电池同步脱色甲基橙与产电性能

采用双室方形微生物燃料电池(MFC),以葡萄糖作为共基质,研究了共基质浓度对典型偶氮染料甲基橙在MFC阳极室中脱色效率及同步产电的影响。结果表明,在0~1.5 g/L浓度范围内,共基质浓度越大,甲基橙脱色率、COD去除率和最大输出电压越高。在共基质浓度为1.5 g/L,进水甲基橙为300 mg/L的条件下,8 h的脱色率高达95%,且在1 000Ω外电阻下,最大输出电压达到662 m V;在无共基质条件下,8 h内对300 mg/L甲基橙的脱色率仅为7.5%,最大输出电压仅达到140 m V。厌氧对照实验表明,甲基橙在MFC中可以实现加速脱色,反应8 h后甲基橙在MFC中的脱色率提高了57%。该研究为开发新型MFC降解偶氮染料废水技术提供了理论依据。
