Shewanella oneidensis MR-1对Cr(VI)的还原及其影响因素

在实验室纯培养条件下,探讨厌氧体系中Shewanella oneidensis MR-1对Cr（VI）的还原能力,采用扫描电镜（SEM）-能谱（EDS）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）等方法进行表征.结果表明,S.oneidensis MR-1介导下不同浓度Cr（VI）的生物转化与微生物对铬的耐受特性密切相关,低浓度Cr（VI）对其生长影响不大,高浓度时细菌生长则受到抑制,进而抑制Cr（VI）的还原率;菌株对Cr（VI）的还原作用随着接种菌悬液量的增加而增强;菌株最适生长pH值为中性,弱碱性环境比酸性环境更有利于菌株对Cr（VI）的还原;增加Fe（Ⅲ）的量会加快Cr（VI）完全还原的速率.通过SEM-EDS和XPS分析,在对Cr（VI）进行处理5d后,菌体表面有Cr（VI）和Cr（Ⅲ）两种形态存在,证实S.oneidensis MR-1在对Cr（VI）进行还原的同时也伴有少量的吸附作用.微生物还原为环境中Cr（VI）的去除以及解毒提供了一种有效的方法.     

紫花苜蓿对铅污染土壤修复能力及其机理的研究

以10 mmol/L Pb(NO3)2处理紫花苜蓿幼苗10 d,分析了Pb在紫花苜蓿幼苗根、茎、叶中的积累情况,Pb在根表皮细胞中的亚细胞区域化特点,以及Pb在紫花苜蓿体内的主要存在形式。结果表明,Pb在紫花苜蓿幼苗中积累量(M)特点为:M根 >M茎 >M叶。同时X-ray微区分析显示,胞间隙是紫花苜蓿积累Pb浓度最高的部位,细胞壁和液泡次之,胞质中最低。Pb的存在形式分析表明Pb在紫花苜蓿体内主要以难溶的形式存在,另外BSO能够加剧Pb污染对紫花苜蓿幼苗Pn和生长的抑制作用,显示了紫花苜蓿对Pb的耐受与植物络和素的形成有关。这些都表明紫花苜蓿对Pb具有一定的耐受机制,避免其对胞质代谢的毒性。同时紫花苜蓿具有很高的生物量和对Pb较高的富集作用,因此是一种很有利用价值的土壤铅污染修复植物。

建立了应用X射线吸收近边结构谱(XANES)测定土壤中氯种态及含量的方法并应用该方法对东北地区3种典型农耕土壤(黑土、沼泽土和暗棕壤)进行了分析.本研究以氯化钠、3-氯丙酸以及氯酚红这3种模型化合物谱图作为标准谱图,采用最小二乘法拟合进行定性分析,用一系列不同浓度氯化钠标准谱在2854.80 eV的绝对荧光强度和氯元素浓度线性关系做定量总氯浓度.方法检出限为2 mg·kg-1,相对标准偏差为0%~5%(n=5),回收率为77%~133%.结果表明,研究区土壤总氯含量均值为19 mg·kg-1,其中有机氯平均相对含量高达61%,是无机氯浓度的1~2倍.不同类型土壤中总氯、无机氯和有机氯含量趋势皆为:沼泽土>暗棕壤>黑土.结果表明,XANES法可以无损、全面地测定真实土壤样品中的氯种态及含量,将为进一步研究氯素的地球化学循环提供一定的基础数据.     

Oxidation of antimony (III) in soil by manganese (IV) oxide using X-ray absorption fine structure

The oxidation of antimony (III) in soils was studied using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra. An andosol soil sample and artificial soil samples (SiO₂ blended with iron (III) hydroxide and manganese (IV) oxide) were used herein. After adding antimony (III) oxide to all soil samples, the oxidation process was observed by recording the XAFS spectra of Sb K-edge, Fe K-edge, and Mn K-edge. The results indicated that manganese (IV) oxide played an important role in the oxidation of Sb(III); however iron (III) hydroxide was not directly related to the reaction. During a 2-hr continuous Sb K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurement with an interval of 1 min of one of the artificial soil samples (SiO₂ + MnO₂ + Sb₂O₃), a pseudo-first-order reaction was determined with an average estimated rate of 0.52 ± 0.04 hr^? 1. Compared to the lower oxidation rate of andosol, it is suggested that because of the low concentration of Mn(IV) in natural soils, the oxidation process of Sb(III) might be relatively slow and require more time to convert Sb(III) to Sb(V).     

对广州灰霾天气中单个气溶胶颗粒物的研究

利用电子显微镜，采用形态分析法和X射线能谱分析法相结合的方法对2003年广州灰霾天气中单个气溶胶颗粒物的大小、形态结构和元素组成进行了研究。在灰霾天气中，颗粒物的半径在1．0μm以下，属于细颗粒物；X射线能谱分析的结果显示，它们有比较复杂的组成，大都是混合物。在灰霾天气，常可以观察到一些特殊的颗粒物，它们带有卫星滴结构。比较灰霾天气形成前后一些气溶胶颗粒物的形态结构和元素组成，它们有着较明显的差异。这些观察提供了证据：在灰霾天气过程中，部分粒子的组成有可能发生了变化。     

Elemental Analysis of Water and Sediments By External Beam Pixe Part 4. Aliakmon River,Greece

The Aliakmon River originates in the North Western part of Greece, traverses the Western part of Macedonia, and discharges into the Thermaikos Bay in the North Aegean Sea. Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method with external beam was used for the determination of the metallic elements in the waters and sediments of the Aliakmon River. the pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and total phosphate and nitrate concentrations were also monitored in the water samples. Data collected for a 20-month period indicate that the Aliakmon River can be still considered as an unpolluted river.     

Analysis of particulates by Raman microprobe†

We describe a new technique of local analysis of heterogeneous samples which is analogous to the electron or ion microprobe but is based on molecular spectra of materials to characterize the different components of a microscopic sample and (or) to obtain images giving their surface distribution.

The sample is illuminated by a laser beam causing characteristic Raman lines of the different components to be emitted. Using these Raman lines, the components can then be detected, identified and located. For this purpose, the microscopic area of the preparation which is illuminated is analysed by a conventional optical microscope coupled with a tunable band pass filter and a multichannel or monochannel detection system.

One main advantage of this technique is the ability to study samples not under vacuum but in air, under a controlled atmosphere or even inside a transparent matrix. Normal Raman spectra can be obtained from particles of 1 μm size and larger, and are the basis for the qualitative identification of molecular constituents. The technique has been applied to molecular microanalysis of matter in the particulate form (i.e., Airborne particles—stack particulates, flyash, asbestos minerals, defects and inclusions in industrial materials,...). It is especially interesting for organic materials which are not detected by other methods. Different examples illustrate this technique.     

Surface characterization of acid-oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) oxidized with sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and the mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The TGA data showed that the MWNTs were more resistant to oxidation than C₆₀ or activated carbon fibers. Catalyst particles could be removed by the oxidants containing sulfuric acid, and thus indicative of the tip opening of MWNTs. The sulfuric acid had a propensity to create defect sites and introduce the surface oxides at those defects that already exist or be newly generated on MWNTs. However, the acid mixture could open the caps of MWNTs but preserve the structure homogeneity. The treatment with nitric acid gave rise to the highest bulk oxygen content in MWNTs, while the most abundant surface oxides were provided by sulfuric acid oxidation. In addition, nitric acid exhibited the best ability to transform the phenolic groups into carboxyl groups.     

水泥窑共处置含Cr废物中Cr在不同温度下的形态转化

将Na₂CrO₄加入生料中模拟含Cr入窑物料〔掺加比例为0.048%(以w计)〕,以探索水泥窑共处置含Cr废物过程中Cr的形态转化. 将含Cr入窑物料在不同温度条件下进行煅烧,消解煅烧样品以分析Cr在不同温度下的残留率并利用XANES(X射线吸收近边结构光谱)技术分析煅烧样品中Cr的存在形态. 结果表明:对应900、1000、1100、1200、1300和1450℃煅烧条件下,熟料中Cr的残留率分别为88.2%、70.7%、73.7%、67.2%、69.5%和67.8%. 由于窑尾温度为1050～1100℃,并且Cr的残留率在1100℃较高,因此从窑尾添加含Cr废物可以减少水泥窑共处置含Cr废物过程中的Cr逸放. 在900～1450℃煅烧条件下,所有样品中的Cr主要以CrO₃、Cr₂O₃和CaCrO₄的形式存在. 1000℃煅烧温度下存在K₂Cr₂O₇,但不存在K₂CrO₄;900℃和1100～1300℃煅烧温度下有K₂CrO₄存在,但不存在K₂Cr₂O₇. 1100～1450℃煅烧温度下,Cr元素进入到水泥熟料的主要矿物中,并主要以CrO₃和Cr₂O₃的形式与其他物质结合生成了较为复杂的Ca₄A₁₆O₁₂CrO₄、Ca₆Al₄Cr₂O₁₅等.      

Characterization of chlorine and heavy metals for the potential recycling of bottom ash from municipal solid waste incinerators as cement additives

Bottom ash is an inevitable by-product from municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration plants. Recycling it as additives for cement production is a promising disposal method. However, the heavy metals and chlorine are the main limiting factors because of the potential environmental risks and corrosion of cement kilns. Therefore, investigating heavy metal and chlorine characteristics of bottom ash is the significant prerequisite of its reuse in cement industries. In this study, a correlative analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of the MSW components and collection mode on the heavy metal and chlorine characteristics in bottom ash. The chemical speciation of insoluble chlorine was also investigated by synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis. The results showed that industrial waste was the main source of heavy metals, especially Cr and Pb, in bottom ash. The higher contents of plastics and kitchen waste lead to the higher chlorine level (0.6 wt.%–0.7 wt.%) of the bottom ash. The insoluble chlorine in the MSW incineration bottom ash existed primarily as AlOCl, which was produced under the high temperature (1250°C) in incinerators.
