Characterization of the typical petroleum pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes, and indigenous microbial community structure and function in historically contaminated soil at petrol stations is critical. Five soil samples were collected from a petrol station in Beijing, China. The concentrations of 16 PAHs and 31 n-alkanes were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total concentrations of PAHs and n-alkanes ranged from 973 ± 55 to 2667 ± 183 μg/kg and 6.40 ± 0.38 to 8.65 ± 0.59 mg/kg (dry weight), respectively, which increased with depth. According to the observed molecular indices, PAHs and n-alkanes originated mostly from petroleum-related sources. The levels of ΣPAHs and the total toxic benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (ranging from 6.41 to 72.54 μg/kg) might exert adverse biological effects. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was employed to investigate the indigenous microbial community structure and function. The results revealed that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the most abundant phyla, and Nocardioides and Microbacterium were the important genera. Based on COG and KEGG annotations, the highly abundant functional classes were identified, and these functions were involved in allowing microorganisms to adapt to the pressure from contaminants. Five petroleum hydrocarbon degradation-related genes were annotated, revealing the distribution of degrading microorganisms. This work facilitates the understanding of the composition, source, and potential ecological impacts of residual PAHs and n-alkanes in historically contaminated soil.

使用STAPLEX大流量六级采样器(<0.49μm、0.49~0.95μm、0.95~1.5μm、1.5~3.0μm、3.0~7.2μm和>7.2μm),结合DRI Model 2001热光碳分析仪(TOR),分析了2010年5月~2011年5月期间上海市嘉定区(市郊)、徐汇区(市区)的大气颗粒物样品中有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC)的粒径分布.结果表明,不同粒径的OC和EC质量浓度均呈双峰分布,较高峰出现于<0.49μm粒径段,次高峰则出现于>3.0μm的两个粒径段.嘉定区(JD)和徐汇区(XH)PM3.0中OC的质量浓度分别为16.35μg.m-3和11.85μg.m-3,EC质量浓度分别为2.22μg.m-3和1.91μg.m-3,市郊大气颗粒物中碳组分质量浓度高于市区,说明市郊碳污染更为严重.在<1.5μm的粒径段,嘉定区OC与EC的同源性较好,表明其中大部分OC来自于燃烧源.两地区不同粒径OC/EC值与不同排放源特征值的对比,可以说明徐汇区更多受到机动车尾气排放和道路扬尘的影响.通过EC示踪法计算二次有机碳(SOC)质量浓度可知:上海市SOC质量浓度较高,PM3.0中达到6.76μg.m-3,占OC的质量分数为69%,粒径分布呈双峰分布,峰值位于0.49~0.95μm和3.0~7.2μm粒径段. 相似文献
A study on the removal of Co(Ⅱ) from aqueous solutions by water treatment residuals(WTR)was conducted in batch conditions. The sorption process of Co(Ⅱ) followed pseudosecondorder kinetics, with 30 hr required to reach equilibrium. Using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, a relatively high maximum sorption capacity of 17.31 mg/g Co(Ⅱ) was determined. The adsorption of Co(Ⅱ) was dependent on pH values and was affected by the ionic strength. Results show that Co(Ⅱ) adsorption was a spontaneous endothermic process and was favorable at high temperature. Most of the adsorbed Co(Ⅱ) stayed on the WTR permanently, whereas only small amounts of adsorbed Co(Ⅱ) were desorbed. The shifting of peaks in FT-IR spectra indicated that Co(Ⅱ) interacted with the WTR surface through strong covalent bond formation with Fe(Al)–O functional groups. It was concluded that WTR can be a suitable material from which to develop an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Co(Ⅱ) from wastewater. 相似文献
