Resistance and biosorption mechanism of silver ions by Bacillus cereus biomass

Biosorption of silver ions onto Bacillus cereus biomass was investigated. Overall kinetic experiments were performed for the determination of the necessary contact time for the attainment of equilibrium. It was found that the overall biosorption process was best described by pseudo second-order kinetic model. The crystals detected by scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested the precipitation was a possible mechanism of biosorption. The molecular genetics of silver resistance of B. cereus biomass was also detected and illustrated by a whole cell sensor tool.     

澳大利亚“碳税”方案仅剩精神可嘉？

当前,澳大利亚联邦政府努力为澳经济引入碳排放定价机制,以便实现节能减排的目的。然而,数月来,这项被称为“碳税”的方案却遇到越来越大的阻力,近期更是遭到反对党、工会和企业等多方的合力抵制。     

关键要在机制创新上破题

近来,转制科研机构的改革发展问题,成了科技界的一个热门话题。原因是部分转制科研机构,自企业化转制推进十年来,仍然起色不大,效益不佳,在发展甚至在生存上都存在着很多困惑。于是,就有了对国家和省里推进的十年企业化转制改革政策的重新评估和反思。据了解,反思的结论无外乎以下几种：一是科研机构企业化转制转错了,应该再转回来,

纳米零价铁铜双金属对铬污染土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)的还原动力学

采用液相还原法制备纳米零价铁铜双金属(n ZVI/Cu),通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和X射线衍射(XRD)对其进行形貌观测和表征分析,用制备的n ZVI/Cu修复Cr(Ⅵ)污染的土壤,研究了不同反应条件对修复效果的影响,探讨了还原动力学规律.结果表明,n ZVI/Cu对土壤中的Cr(Ⅵ)有很好的降解效果,反应初始p H为7,温度为30℃时,加入2 g·L~(-1)的n ZVI/Cu材料,在10 min内Cr(Ⅵ)含量为88 mg·kg~(-1)的污染土壤中的Cr(Ⅵ)去除率可以达到99%以上.改变n ZVI/Cu加入量、p H值、反应温度以及添加腐殖酸都会对Cr(Ⅵ)的去除效果产生影响.改变p H值和反应温度对去除土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)的影响都比较明显,p H值越小,反应温度越高Cr(Ⅵ)的去除效果越好,添加腐殖酸对去除土壤中的Cr(Ⅵ)有一定的影响.n ZVI/Cu降解Cr(Ⅵ)的过程符合伪一级还原动力学模型,还原速率与反应温度的关系符合阿仑尼乌斯(Arrhenius)定律,反应活化能Ea为104.26 k J·mol~(-1).     

Biosorption mechanisms involved in immobilization of soil Pb by Bacillus subtilis DBM in a multimetal-contaminated soil

Mechanisms of soil Pb immobilization by Bacillus subtilis DBM, a bacterial strain isolated from a heavy-metal-contaminated soil, were investigated. Adsorption and desorption experiments with living bacterial cells as well as dead cells revealed that both extracellular adsorption and intracellular accumulation were involved in the Pb2＋removal from the liquid phase. Of the sequestered Pb（II）, 8.5% was held by physical entrapment within the cell wall, 43.3% was held by ion-exchange, 9.7% was complexed with cell surface functional groups or precipitated on the cell surface, and 38.5% was intracellularly accumulated.Complexation of Pb2＋with carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amido, and phosphate groups was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis. Precipitates of Pb5（PO4）3OH, Pb5（PO4）3Cl and Pb10（PO4）6（OH）2that formed on the cell surface during the biosorption process were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. Transmission electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of the Pb（II）precipitates and that Pb（II） could be sequestered both extracellularly and intracellularly.Incubation with B. subtilis DBM significantly decreased the amount of the weak-acid-soluble Pb fraction in a heavy-metal-contaminated soil, resulting in a reduction in Pb bioavailability, but increased the amount of its organic-matter-bound fraction by 71%. The ability of B.subtilis DBM to reduce the bioavailability of soil Pb makes it potentially useful for bacteria-assisted phytostabilization of multi-heavy-metal-contaminated soil.     

彝族农户引入生物质炉CDM减排量估算与效益分析

高温自蔓延还原解毒固化铬渣技术研究

采用高温自蔓延技术处置铬渣,探讨了高温自蔓延技术还原解毒固化铬渣的机制。以铝粉和三氧化二铁作铝热剂,与铬渣充分混合,用镁条点燃引发自蔓延反应,最终得到铬渣固化体。实验结果表明:高温自蔓延技术能有效固化铬渣,铬渣的掺渣率高达44.94%。浸出实验结果表明:A组(铬渣原样)铬渣固化体总铬浸出浓度未检出;B组(铬渣原样+重铬酸钾)铬渣固化体总铬浸出浓度为0.117 76 mg/L,远远低于国标(GB 5085.3-2007)限值15 mg/L,六价铬浸出浓度未检出。XRD分析表明:铬渣还原解毒固化机制主要是六价铬在自蔓延反应中被还原为三价铬,再与其他金属化合物在高温熔融状态下生成含铬尖晶石,铬以离子键Cr—O的形式参与尖晶石的晶格形成。
