Genotoxicity removal of reclaimed water during ozonation

Genotoxicity in wastewater and reclaimed water now is gaining increased attention because of genotoxins' potential damage to the ecosystem and human health. The effect of ozonation on genotoxicity in reclaimed water was investigated. It was found that ozonation decreased the genotoxicy dramatically in three tertiary treatment plants. In the further batch ozonation experiment in laboratory,secondary effluent sample used exhibited the genotoxicity of(41.1 ± 4.1) μg 4NQO/L. Ozonation with a dose of 10 mg O3/L completely removed the genotoxicity in secondary effluent. However,after ozonation, the dissolved organic carbonvalue of the sample didn't change much but the specific ultraviolet absorbance(SUVA) value dropped sharply. With the help of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ozonation was found to change chemical aliphatic carbon and C–O of the dissolved arganic matter, which might be the reason of the significant decreases of SUVA and genotoxicity.     

Mutagenic and cytotoxic potential of Endosulfan and Lambda-cyhalothrin - In vitro study describing individual and combined effects of pesticides

Excessive use of pesticides poses increased risks to non target species including humans. In the developing countries, lack of proper awareness about the toxic potential of pesticides makes the farmer more vulnerable to pesticide linked toxicities, which could lead to diverse pathological conditions. The toxic potential of a pesticide could be determined by their ability to induce genetic mutations and cytotoxicity. Hence, determination of genetic mutation and cytotoxicity of each pesticide is unavoidable to legislate health and safety appraisal about pesticides. The objective of current investigation was to determine the genotoxic and cytotoxic potential of Endosulfan（EN） and Lambda-cyhalothrin（LC）; individually and in combination. 3-（4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide（MTT） assay was utilized to determine cytotoxicity, while two mutant histidine dependent Salmonella strains（TA98, TA100） were used to determine the mutagenicity of EN and LC.Moreover, mutagenicity assay was conducted with and without S9 to evaluate the effects of metabolic activation on mutagenicity. Even though a dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies was detected with EN against both bacterial strains, a highly significant（p 〈 0.05） increase in the mutagenicity was detected in TA98 with S9. In comparison, data obtained from LC revealed less mutagenic potential than EN. Surprisingly,the non-mutagenic individual-concentrations of EN and LC showed dose dependent mutagenicity when combined. Combination of EN and LC synergistically induced mutagenicity both in TA98 and TA100. MTT assay spotlighted comparable dose dependent cytotoxicity effects of both pesticides. Interestingly, the combination of EN and LC produced increased reversion and cytotoxicity at lower doses as compared to each pesticide, concluding that pesticide exposure even at sub-lethal doses can produce cytotoxicity and genetic mutations, which could lead to carcinogenicity.     

Waste to energy—日本城市垃圾的能源化利用

<正>日本是垃圾能源化利用最发达的国家之一,垃圾分类很严格,原生垃圾是不能直接处理的。城市生活垃圾分类后,可燃组分由垃圾转运车收集送入垃圾焚烧厂,再经过机械筛选和人工分选,在焚烧炉内焚烧,产生的热能发电供给城市电网,部分余热用于一个城市公共游泳池;对于可生物降解的有机垃圾,如厨余垃圾等,进行甲烷发酵,发酵产生的沼气可以制备家用和车用燃气,也可用于发电。焚烧处理厂同时也是资源回收中心,家庭的大件垃圾如家具等,必须送回该厂处理,并交处理费。一些损     

超声波处理含油污水的物性实验探究

利用超声波处理含工业废机油的污水,阐述了超声波对裂解含油污水中油分子的作用主要是超声波的空化作用。在空化作用产生空化泡后,在局部形成瞬间的高温高压并进而产生强烈冲击波使得泡体周围的油分子键断裂,形成自由基,而后随着超声波的机械效应在污水表面形成一层大分子薄油膜,达到裂解复杂油分子除油的作用。文章通过实验得到了超声波的作用时间、超声功率和频率(40 kHz和28 kHz)对污水作用后对污水粘度和裂解效果的影响。实验表明:在频率相同的情况下,随着功率的增加,污水的粘度下降不断加快,裂解效果先增加后降低,约在70 W左右出现最大值;而在相同功率时间下频率为40 kHz的超声波比28 kHz的超声波作用含油污水后对粘度和裂解效果的影响更大;随着超声时间的增加,污水的粘度和裂解效果将持续下降,但是存在临界值。     

胡敏酸改性膨润土钝化污染土壤Pb&Cd及机理

通过盆栽试验,探讨了胡敏酸改性膨润土对重金属铅、镉污染土壤的钝化效果及机理。结果表明,铅、镉污染土壤中施加胡敏酸改性膨润土能显著降低小白菜中Pb、Cd的含量,在添加Cd(3 mg/kg)/Pb(250 mg/kg)污染土壤和Cd(1 0 mg/kg)/Pb(5 00 mg/kg)污染土壤上小白菜地上部分Pb含量分别比对照降低19.08%和47.91%,Cd含量分别比对照降低9.79%和14.89%。土壤本身对添加的重金属Pb/Cd有一定的耐受力和自我净化能力,在添加重金属后,添加的Pb/Cd元素大部分直接转化为较为稳定的碳酸盐结合态和铁锰氧化结合态。相关性分析显示小白菜的鲜重与小白菜Pb/Cd含量极显著负相关,进一步说明胡敏酸改性膨润土是通过提高小白菜的生物量,从而降低Pb/Cd在小白菜中的含量。
