Experimental investigation of the efficiency of triple rinsing of agricultural containers regarding their characterization as non-hazardous wastes

The efficiency of water rinsing for removing fenthion from non-combustible used pesticide containers was investigated. Four hundred empty containers from four olive oil producing areas in Greece were studied. Following triple rinsing cleaning procedures, the amount of fenthion retained in the container ranged from 0.01% to 0.1% w/w of its initial concentration. Extraction was accomplished with acetone, and the extracts were analyzed with a capillary gas chromatographic system coupled with flame ionization detector. The results obtained showed that triple rinsing is an effective procedure for removing fenthion from used pesticide containers, since the remaining pesticide concentration was below the legislated threshold value. Consequently, the containers can be handled as non-hazardous solid wastes.     

Contamination and vertical distribution of As,Cd, Cr,Cu, Pb,Tl, and Zn in paddy soil irrigated with untreated leachate from tailings retention ponds

The contamination and vertical distribution of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Tl, and Zn in paddy soil irrigated with untreated leachate from the tailings retention pond were investigated. As, Cr, Cu, and Zn were slightly contaminated in the surface soil and hence their vertical distribution was not obvious. However, Cd and Pb were highly contaminated in the surface soil, while their concentrations decreased with depth, being negatively correlated with pH and positively with total organic matter. Tl was considerably contaminated in the surface soil and a V-shaped vertical distribution was observed where the concentration increased to a maximum at about 30 cm depth and decreased thereafter. The findings revealed that the regular irrigation with untreated leachate from the tailings retention ponds could cause considerable contamination of Cd, Pb, and Tl, and thus tailings should be stringently treated before disposal to minimize their potential environmental impacts on the surroundings.     

Advanced purification and comprehensive utilization of yellow phosphorous off gas

Yellow phosphorous is an important raw material in the chemical industry. However, during the production of yellow phosphorous, high concentrations of carbon monoxide and other impurities are released. Without appropriate purification and removal, this off gas has potential to cause severe pollution problems once released. Purified yellow phosphorous off gas can be beneficially reused as a raw material in chemical production for synthesis of high value-added chemical reagents. In this paper, the significance of purification and reutilization of yellow phosphorous off gas are explored. The principles, processes, and main characteristics of the technologies for purification and reuse of yellow phosphorus off gas (including technical measurements of impurity reduction, relevant engineering cases, and public acceptance of the technologies) are summarized. In view of the existing problems and scientific development requirements, this paper proposes several recommendations for green production based on the concept of recycle economics. We conclude that advanced purification and comprehensive reutilization can be an effective solution for heavy pollution resulting from yellow phosphorous off gassing.

无铅汽油尾气颗粒物组分及其毒性研究

为研究无铅汽油的降铅效果。及其排出尾气颗粒物的有机提取物组分对小鼠细胞免疫功能的影响，采用大流量采样仪采集无铅汽油尾气颗粒物，用石墨炉原子吸收光谱法检测了颗粒物的铅含量，并采用气相色谱和质谱方法分析了颗粒物有机提取物的组分，同时，用凝胶电泳方法比较无铅汽油颗粒物的有机提取物在加铅和不加铅的条件下，对小鼠巨噬细胞的凋亡影响，结果显示，无铅汽油尾气排出颗粒物上仍有微量的铅，约为0.11mg/g。颗粒物有机提取物中含有大量的有害物质，如多环芳烃，杂环化合物等，通过凝胶电泳法显示，无论是有铅还是无铅，颗粒物有机提取物都能引起小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞的凋亡，在有铅的情况下，对巨噬细胞的凋亡影响更为明显，通过研究可以认为，无铅汽油对减轻汽车尾气的铅污染具有积极作用。但颗粒物上仍吸附大量的有害物质，对机体的免疫功能仍具有危害。
