Application of surface molecular imprinting adsorbent in expanded bed for the adsorption of Ni(2+) and adsorption model

A new surface molecular imprinting adsorbent (SMIA) was used in an expanded bed. The expansion ratio and adsorption performance were studied at different volumetric rates, inlet concentrations, and pH values. A model based on the Adams-Bohart adsorption model of breakthrough curves was established. The predicted curves had good agreement with the experimental curves. The breakthrough time (T(1/2)) decreased with increasing inlet concentration when the outlet concentration was half the initial concentration (C/C(0)=0.5). The inlet concentration had little effect on the adsorption rate constant (k(1)) value when the initial concentration (C(0)) was above 150 mg/L. However, T(1/2) values increased with increasing initial pH of the inlet solution, and the k(1) value decreased due to the competition between H(+) and Ni(2+).     

Persistent organic pollutants in moss as bioindicators of atmospheric pollution in Singapore

Moss samples were collected from the island of Singapore and analysed for a range of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although all compounds analysed have been banned from use in Singapore, they were detected in all samples collected. Among the hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH), beta-HCH was the most dominant isomer, while trans-chlorane was found to be the most dominant cyclodiene pesticide. High levels (79.12 ng g(-1)) of PCBs were detected in mosses collected from a nearby island due to active accumulation of pollutants associated with boat emissions. Significant spatial variations in the levels of organic pollutants in Singapore were largely absent, indicating that air masses moving over the island deposit OCPs and PCBs in a uniform pattern. A comparison of moss pollutant levels with available data from Czech Republic showed that dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p'-DDT) and PCB levels in Singapore are the highest. The presence of these compounds suggests that they are still used in the region and are environmentally recalcitrant.     

污水生物除磷若干影响因素分析

在系统阐述污水生物除磷机理的基础上,深入分析了微生物群体平衡、城市污水水质、环境因子以及工艺运行参数和运行方式等方面对生物除磷效果的影响.分析结果表明:生物除磷系统的溶解氧浓度不宜太高,一般好氧区DO＜2 mg/L,厌氧区DO＜0.2 mg/L;厌氧段存在硝酸盐对生物释磷有负面影响,缺氧段存在一定浓度的硝酸盐有利于生物聚磷;碳源必须充分、易降解;TKN/COD＜0.1的城市污水有利于生物除磷;pH偏碱性可提高生物除磷效率;低温对生物除磷效果影响不明显.     

污泥电子传递体系(ETS)活性测定中萃取剂的选择

比较了丙酮、乙醇、正丁醇、磷酸三丁酯、乙酸乙酯、甲苯和三氯甲烷等7种萃取剂检测活性污泥电子传递体系(ETS)活性的特性.结果表明,这7种萃取剂制作标准曲线的性能相近;在实际污泥样品检测中,37℃下丙酮的萃取时间仅需10min,待测样品量相同时,其萃取速度约是其它萃取剂的4～22倍,37℃下丙酮萃取污泥样品中三苯基甲脂(TF)的能力大于其它萃取剂在37℃或90℃下的萃取能力,同时以丙酮作萃取剂测定的污泥电子传递体系活性也最大,说明丙酮是污泥电子传递体系活性测定中萃取剂的最佳选择.     

我国降水、降尘中硒、碘、氟的研究

研究了我国东甫沿海至西北地区降水、降尘中硒、碘、氟的分布及其影响因素,结果表明。我国降水硒、碘、氟含量范围分别为0.03—0.59ppb、0.3—3.8ppb和0.03—0.6ppm,一般为0.1—0.2ppb、1—2ppb和0.05—0.1ppm,其主要影响因素为人类活动,海洋、风沙及土壤微生物亦各有不同程度的影响。以集尘桶采集的降尘硒、碘、氟含量均远高于当地表层土壤,主要受当地大气污染状况、降尘量、降水量及降水中该元素含量的影响。硒、碘、氟三元素的挥发性与水迁移性的相互关系在很大程度上决定着我国四大地方病的分布。     

混凝法处理油田污水的试验研究

目前 ,含油污水的处理多以回注地下作为处理目标。然而随着油田产生的含油污水日益增多 ,仅回注地下已不能满足生产需要 ,大量处理后的水不得不向地表水体排放。研究了如何处理含油污水并使之达到排放标准。采用PAC、Al2 (SO4 ) 3、PAM等絮凝剂对油田含油污水进行混凝试验研究。试验结果表明 :PAC与PAM复配比单独使用处理效果更好 ,尤其对COD具有很好的去除作用。混凝后含油污水再经过过滤吸附处理 ,完全可以达到GB 8978 1996排放标准
