Two-Compartment Sorption of Phenanthrene on Eight Soils with Various Organic Carbon Contents

Sorption characteristics of phenanthrene (PHE) were studied on eight soils with organic carbon contents spanning over an order of magnitude using phase distribution relationships (PDRs) at 1 h, 48 h, and 720 h contact times. A new algebraic method was employed to describe the sorption characteristics at different time intervals (between 1 h and 48 h, and 1 h and 720 h). It was found that nonlinearity increased with increasing contact time and sorption that occurred in the subsequent time interval following the initial 1 h exhibited stronger isotherm nonlinearity. Sorption coefficients were positively correlated with the organic carbon contents of the soils. Detailed sorption dynamics were also examined on these soils. A two-compartment, first-order model was used to describe the sorption dynamics. The rate constants of the two compartments differed 18–170 times, suggesting the dissimilar sorption behaviors of the mathematically separated compartments. These two compartments were labeled fast and slow sorption compartment according to the rate constants. Calculation showed that the fast compartment accounted for over 80% of the overall sorption at the initial 1 h, while the slow compartment predominated the total sorption in the following 47 h. By combining the discussion of PDRs and sorption dynamics, the contributions of the two compartments to linear and nonlinear sorption were differentiated. The slow sorption compartment made a major contribution to nonlinear sorption and possibly to sequestration of organic pollutants by these soils.

活性污泥对四环素的吸附性能研究

通过批量平衡法研究了四环素在活性污泥上的吸附行为.结果表明,污泥混合液浓度和四环素初始浓度对吸附平衡时间、污泥吸附量和污泥吸附率均有较大影响.伪二级反应动力学模型较伪一级反应动力学模型更符合本吸附实验.在10、25℃条件下,四环素在活性污泥上的吸附行为较符合Langmuir模型,最大吸附量分别是31.14、70.95 mg.g-1;在40℃下,符合Henry模型.应用D-R模型判定吸附类型,10℃(平均吸附能为9.13 kJ.mol-1)下,化学吸附占主导;40℃(平均吸附能为7.07 kJ.mol-1)下,物理吸附占主导.温度升高,污泥对四环素的吸附能力增大.离子交换是四环素在活性污泥上吸附的一种机制.四环素的初始浓度为5、10、20 mg.L-1,钠离子浓度由0 mol.L-1增加到0.1 mol.L-1时,吸附量分别下降15.32%、15.00%、20.12%.当pH在5～10之间时,pH为6的条件下污泥对四环素的吸附量最大.     

Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols from coking wastewater by simultaneously synthesized organobentonite in a one-step process

The optimal condition for a one-step process removing organic compounds from coking wastewater by simultaneously synthesized organobentonite as a pretreatment was investigated. Results showed that sorption of organic compounds by organobentonite was positively correlated to the cation surfactant exchange on the bentonite and the octanol-water partition coefficient (K_ow) of the solutes. With 0.75 g/L bentonite and 180 mg/L (60% of bentonite cation exchange capacity) cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the removal efficiencies of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) specified by the US Environmental Protection Agency in coking wastewater except naphthalene were more than 90%, and that of benzo(a)pyrene was 99.5%. At the same time, the removal efficiencies of COD_Cr, NH₃-N, volatile phenols, colour and turbidity were 28.6%, 13.2%, 8.9%, 55% and 84.3%, respectively, and the ratio of BOD₅/COD_Cr increased from 0.31 to 0.41. These results indicated that the one-step process had high removal efficiency for toxic and refractory hydrophobic organic compounds, and could improve the biodegradability of the coking wastewater. Therefore it could be a promising technology for the pretreatment of toxic and refractory organic wastewater.     

开放系统下方解石对磷的去除

通过批量平衡法,研究开放系统条件下方解石对磷的去除特性.结果表明:1方解石在开放系统中的预平衡过程,在24h左右便能完成;2动力学的结果表明,当初始浓度为0.5 mg·L~(-1)时,磷去除在前10 h内便完成很大部分,推测其去除行为主要由表面吸附进行;当初始浓度为2.5 mg·L~(-1)时,磷去除主要是靠后期的磷沉淀方式来完成.3当初始磷浓度≤2.5 mg·L~(-1)时,反应时间设为10 h,磷的去除过程可用Langmuir等温吸附模型来较好地拟合,推测在该条件下,表面吸附是磷去除过程中的主导作用方式.4加入邻苯二甲酸的情况下,当初始磷浓度2.5 mg·L~(-1)时,磷的去除率下降了一些,这是因为此时磷去除主要通过表面吸附完成,而邻苯二甲酸与磷共同竞争表面上的吸附位点;当初始磷浓度2.5 mg·L~(-1)时,磷的去除率增大了一些,这是因为邻苯二甲酸的加入促进了钙浓度的增加,从而促进磷通过钙以沉淀的形式去除.     

酸热活化对海泡石吸附水溶液中Cd的影响机制

为增加SP（海泡石）的比表面积并提高其对水溶液中Cd的去除效率,采用HCl对SP进行酸热活化,探索制备HHSP（酸热活化海泡石）最佳的c（HCl）、酸改性时间和热活化温度,并比较SP和HHSP对Cd的吸附动力学和等温吸附特征,通过对吸附前后的SP和HHSP进行SEM-EDS（扫描电镜）、XRD（X射线衍射）和XPS（X射线光电子能谱）分析,以阐明HHSP吸附Cd的微观反应机理.结果表明:0.9 mol/L的HCl改性24 h后,500℃下热活化1 h制备的HHSP吸附性能最佳.准二级动力学模型和Langmuir等温吸附模型均能够很好地描述SP和HHSP对Cd的吸附特征.SP和HHSP对初始质量浓度为50 mg/L的溶液中Cd的去除率在2 h内分别达73.13%和85.96%,在24 h内达到吸附平衡.HHSP的最大饱和吸附量（q_max）为22.147 mg/g,比SP（4.200 mg/g）增加了4.23倍.酸热处理降低了SP的pH和pHpzc（零电荷点）,表明在SP表面吸附活性中心增多.SEM-EDS显示,酸热活化未改变SP的纤维状结构,Cd吸附量由SP的1.57%增至HHSP的2.13%.XPS分析表明,SP和HHSP对Cd的吸附作用包括了表面羟基（-OH）络合作用以及产生CdCO₃、CdCl₂、CdO和Cd（OH）₂沉淀.XRD分析表明,酸改性通过清除SP的CaCO₃成分,比表面积增加,从而增加了HHSP对Cd的吸附量.研究显示,酸热活化可增加HHSP对Cd的吸附效能,为利用HHSP有效控制稻田土壤Cd生物有效性提供了有益途径.

Can aquatic distribution of human pharmaceuticals be related to pharmacological data?

The recognition of pharmaceuticals as significant environmental contaminants has only been a recent phenomenon. Therefore there is a paucity of data relating to the fate and effects of pharmaceuticals once they enter an aquatic receiving system. The amount of work that needs to be done in terms of risk assessment for pharmaceuticals required by regulatory agencies is substantial. This paper has determined the environmental partitioning coefficient (K_d) of 13 diverse human pharmaceuticals in three model systems of differing combinations of solid phases and solutions. The K_d values were then compared with distribution values of the pharmaceuticals in the human body determined from pharmacological studies. This was done to assess the functional relationship between K_d and distribution values in the human body (V_D). K_d values ranged from 3 to 2450 L kg⁻¹. Regression coefficients ranged from r² = 0.62–0.72, indicating that V_D values are a useful indicator for the K_d values of the tested pharmaceuticals within the batch sorption systems. The relationship between K_d and V_D should therefore be further explored to determine whether this relationship can be applied to a broader range of pharmaceuticals in more diverse environmental systems. Exploiting available human pharmacological data in such a way would be of great benefit in prioritising human pharmaceuticals as environmental contaminants in the risk assessment process.     

黄泥土不同粒径微团聚体对Cd2+的吸附与解吸研究

对采自太湖地区黄泥土进行了低能量超声波分离,采用平衡吸附法研究了不同粒径微团聚体颗粒对重金属Cd²⁺的吸附和解吸特点.结果表明,不同粒径微团聚体对Cd²⁺的吸附特性均符合Freundlich方程,模拟方程得到的K值介于152～503之间,以粘粒级和粗砂级为最大.微团聚体对Cd²⁺的吸附容量与其中游离氧化铁含量、CEC呈显著正相关.不同微团聚体Cd的解吸特点不同,粘粒级的解吸率仅为8.4%,远远低于其它粒径的微团聚体,这些结果有助于了解田间条件下土壤重金属化学行为和微观尺度的化学过程.     

离子强度和SO2-4对土壤吸附Al的影响

研究了离子强度和SO4^2-对土壤吸附Al的影响，结果表明：在所研究的pH范围内，随着NaCl支持电解质浓度的提高，土壤对Al的吸附量基本保持不变，并且当pH＜3．9时，即土壤表面净电荷为正时，土壤对Al的吸附量仍然很大，超过最大吸附量的50％，而用CaCl2作支持电解质时，当pH＜4．5时，在溶液中CaCl2浓度最高的情况下，Al的吸附量最小，在其余两种浓度条件下则基本相等；当pH＞4．5时，Al的吸附量几乎不受CaCl2浓度变化的影响。SO4^2-的加入对土壤吸附Al没有影响。这些都说明土壤吸附Al的作用机制主要为专性吸附。
