生物反应器填埋场初期的重金属释放行为

以库容10万m³的生物反应器填埋单元1.5年的渗滤液水质监测结果为依据,研究了该填埋单元初期的重金属释放行为.结果表明,渗滤液低pH值和高溶解性有机物(DOM)含量使渗滤液中的重金属浓度超过标准限值;但随着填埋层进入稳定产甲烷化阶段,重金属浓度显著下降,渗滤液中的腐殖质是影响此阶段重金属迁移的重要媒介.渗滤液中悬浮性固体、DOM分子量分级测试和VisualMinteq模型模拟计算结果表明,渗滤液中的重金属主要以与有机物,特别是以与腐殖质结合的形态存在.预测填埋单元内重金属的溶出过程可持续数百年.     

鄱阳湖湿地重金属形态分布及植物富集研究

研究了鄱阳湖湿地土壤中Cu,Zn,Pb和Cd形态与植物富集的关系. 结果表明:鄱阳湖土壤中Cu,Pb和Zn主要以有机态和残渣态为主,水溶态和离子交换态等生物有效性态含量很少;而Cd则主要以水溶态和离子交换态等生物有效性态为主,因此Cd的生态危害较大. 相关分析和偏相关分析均显示:植物中重金属含量与其生存环境中重金属水溶态或离子交换态含量直接相关,这与理论上植物只能吸收重金属水溶态相符. 植物对重金属的富集能力表现出Zn＞Cu＞Cd＞Pb的趋势. 用重金属水溶态或离子交换态进行植物富集研究,更具有可比性和科学性.

A novel biosorbent: characterization of the spent mushroom compost and its application for removal of heavy metals

The spent mushroom compost of Lentinus edodes was used as a biosorbent for adsorbing cadmium, lead and chromium from solutions under batch conditions for the first time. Titration of the biomass revealed that it contained at least three types of functional groups. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometry showed that the carboxyl, phosphoryl, phenolic groups were the main groups. The simulated values of pK, and molar quantity were 5.00 and 0.44 mmol/g, 7.32 and 1.38 mmol/g, 10.45 and 1.44 mmol/g, respectively. The biosorption ability increased with pH in acid condition. When 10 mg/L biomass dosage was added in, there was no significant increment of metal uptake. The maximum uptake estimated with the Langmiur isotherm model were 833.33 mg/g for Cd（ Ⅱ ）, 1000.00 mg/g for Pb（ Ⅱ ） and 44.44 mg/g for Cr（ Ⅲ ）, respectively. All the results showed that vast potential sorption capacity was existed in the biomass for adsorbing these three kinds of metals studied.     

不同粒径垃圾焚烧飞灰重金属分布和浸出性质

对烟气净化系统飞灰(以下简称飞灰)按粒径进行分级,研究了飞灰重金属含量、形态分布和浸出毒性随粒径的变化,讨论了不同粒径的飞灰对重金属总量和浸出总量的贡献率.结果表明:飞灰中粒径>154 μm和<30 μm的颗粒较少,粒径为38.5～74 μm的颗粒约占总量的50%.除Ni和Cr外,重金属含量随飞灰粒径的减小呈增加趋势,且主要表现在酸溶态Cd,Zn,Pb,Cu和有机结合态Pb以及晶形氧化铁态Pb,Zn含量的增加.随着飞灰粒径的减小,Cr,Ni,Zn,Hg和Pb的浸出量也呈逐渐增加趋势,其中Zn,Hg和Pb的表现尤为突出.尽管细颗粒上的重金属对飞灰的重金属总量贡献不大,但高浸出率使细颗粒飞灰对重金属浸出总量仍具有较大贡献,尤其是Pb,Zn和Hg,在占飞灰质量8%的粒径<30 μm的飞灰中,富集了约40%的水溶性Pb,Zn和Hg.      

污染黑土中重金属的形态分布与生物活性研究

通过对污染和清洁黑土的耕层、非耕层分层采样分析,比较了Cd,Pb,Cu和Zn等在同一土壤耕层和非耕层以及不同采样点土壤中的形态分布和生物活性.结果表明,无污染黑土中这些重金属的形态分布一般为:残渣态>有机结合态>铁锰结合态>碳酸盐结合态>可交换态,外源污染则使可交换态重金属的含量增加.以生物有效性系数和迁移系数进行重金属生物活性评价,其在黑土中生物活性大小的顺序为:Cd>Cu>Zn>Pb.污染愈严重的土壤,重金属的生物活性和自身的淋溶能力相对较强,在非耕层中也表现出较高的生物活性.综合重金属在土壤中的含量和生物活性,发现2个污染点的黑土中Cd和Pb对当地农业生产和地下水安全已构成潜在的威胁.     

绿矾处理垃圾焚烧灰渣过程中重金属的同时稳定化研究

采用绿矾稳定垃圾焚烧灰渣(包括飞灰及底排渣)中的重金属,将绿矾溶液与灰渣混合然后实施氧化过程．以Pb,Hg,Cd,As和Cr为代表,研究各类重金属同时稳定化的反应条件,着重研究了铬的稳定条件研究结果表明重金属Pb在各种条件下的稳定效果良好;As和Cd的稳定化效果随绿矾用量的增加而增强,其中Cd还受过程pH值的影响．厌氧阶段的设置、CO2的辅助处理、提高绿矾的用量都有助于Cr的稳定化;同时使用CO2辅助处理也有助于As的稳定化,但CO2只适用于强碱性、高酸中和能力的灰渣．反应温度在常温至90℃变化只影响氧化速度．研究还表明飞灰与底排渣可作为一股废物流同时处理．对Hg,应从研究其物质形态出发来研究它的稳定．

为揭示城市边缘带强烈人为活动对土壤环境质量的影响,以南京化工园附近20km^2区域为研究区,网格化精确布点,采集表层土壤样品共计54个,并对其重金属Cu、Zn、Pb、Cr、Cd、Hg、As含量进行了测定分析.结果表明,研究区表层土壤中除Hg外的其它6种重金属含量均未超过国家二级标准;Hg是本区表层土壤重金属污染的主要因子.另外,应用地统计学的克里格方法对研究区内表层土壤污染的空间变异特征进行了分析,并讨论了研究区域的潜在污染源及其污染途径.结果表明,研究区内局部土壤重金属污染主要由蔬菜土壤高强度利用及农化产品投入所致,同时不排除污染水灌溉的影响.     

Metal contamination of surface water,sediment and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tympanotonus fuscatus</Emphasis> var. <Emphasis Type="Italic">radula</Emphasis> of Iko River and environmental impact due to Utapete gas flare station,Nigeria

Inter-seasonal studies on the trace metal load of surface water, sediment and Tympanotonus fuscatus var. radula of Iko River were conducted between 2003 and 2004. The impact of anthropogenic activities especially industrial effluent, petroleum related wastes, gas flare and episodic oil spills on the ecosystem are remarkable. Trace metals analyzed included cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), vanadium (V) and zinc (Zn). Sediment particle size analysis revealed that they were characteristically psammitic and were predominantly of medium to fine grained sand (>73%), less of silt (<15%) and clay (<10%). These results correlated with low levels of trace elements such as Pb (0.03 ± 0.02 mg kg⁻¹), Cr (0.22 ± 0.12 mg kg⁻¹), Cd (0.05 ± 0.03 mg kg⁻¹), Cu (0.04 ± 0.02 mg kg⁻¹) and Mn (0.23 ± 0.22 mg kg⁻¹) in the sediment samples. This observation is consistent with the scarcity of clayey materials known to be good scavengers for metallic and organic contaminants. Sediments indicated enhanced concentration of Fe, Ni and V, while other metal levels were relatively low. The concentrations of all the metals except Pb in surface water were within the permissible levels, suggesting that the petroleum contaminants had minimal effect on the state of pollution by trace metals in Iko River. Notably, the pollutant concentrations in the sediments were markedly higher than the corresponding concentrations in surface water and T. fuscatus tissues, and decreased with distance from point sources of pollution.     

Effect of some heavy metals and soil humic substances on the phytochelatin production in wild plants from silver mine areas of Guanajuato, Mexico

Phytochelatins (PCs) were determined in the wild plants, focusing on their relationship with the levels of heavy metals and humic substances (HS) in soil. Ricinus communis and Tithonia diversifolia were collected from several sites in Guanajuato city (Mexico), which had long been the silver and gold mining center. The analysis of PCs in root extracts was carried out by liquid chromatography (derivatization with monobromobimane). Total Ag, Cd, Cu and Pb in plant roots and in soil samples, as well as soil HS were determined. The association of metals with HS in soils was evaluated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with UV and ICP-MS detection. The results obtained revealed the induction of PCs in R. communis but not in T. diversifolia. The levels of Cd and Pb in plant roots presented strong positive correlation with PC-2 (r = 0.9395, p = 0.005; r = 0.9573, p = 0.003, respectively), indicating that these two metals promote PCs induction in R. communis. On the other hand, the inverse correlation was found between soil HS and metal levels in roots of R. communis (Cu > Pb > Cd > Ag), in agreement with the decreasing affinity of these metals to HS. Importantly, the inverse correlation between soil HS and plant PC-2 was observed (r = −0.7825, p = 0.066). These results suggest that metals strongly bound to HS could be less bioavailable to plants, which in turn would limit their role in the induction of PCs. Indeed, the SEC elution profiles showed Pb but not Cd association with HS and the correlation between metal in soil and PC-2 in plant was statistically significant only for Cd (r = 0.7857, p = 0.064). Based on these results it is proposed that the role of heavy metals in PCs induction would depend on their uptake by R. communis, which apparently is controlled by the association of metals with soil HS. This work provides further evidence on the role of environmental conditions in the accumulation of heavy metals and phytochelatin production in plants.
