Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from aqueous solution by raw and modified plant residue materials as biosorbents

Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs）, e.g., naphthalene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene and pyrene, from aqueous solution by raw and modified plant residues was investigated to develop low cost biosorbents for organic pollutant abatement. Bamboo wood, pine wood, pine needles and pine bark were selected as plant residues, and acid hydrolysis was used as an easily modification method. The raw and modified biosorbents were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The sorption isotherms of PAHs to raw biosorbents were apparently linear, and were dominated by a partitioning process. In comparison, the isotherms of the hydrolyzed biosorbents displayed nonlinearity, which was controlled by partitioning and the specific interaction mechanism. The sorpfion kinetic curves of PAHs to the raw and modified plant residues fit well with the pseudo second-order kinetics model. The sorption rates were faster for the raw biosorbents than the corresponding hydrolyzed biosorbents, which was attributed to the latter having more condensed domains （i.e., exposed aromatic core）. By the consumption of the amorphous cellulose component under acid hydrolysis, the sorption capability of the hydrolyzed biosorbents was notably enhanced, i.e., 6-18 fold for phenanthrene, 6-8 fold for naphthalene and pyrene and 5-8 fold for acenaphthene. The sorpfion coefficients （Kd） were negatively correlated with the polarity index [（O＋N）/C], and positively correlated with the aromaticity of the biosorbents. For a given biosorbent, a positive linear correlation between logKoc and logKow for different PAHs was observed. Interestingly, the linear plots of logKoc-logKow were parallel for different biosorbents. These observations suggest that the raw and modified plant residues have great potential as biosorbents to remove PAHs from wastewater.     

Review of the progress in preparing nano Ti02： An important environmental engineering material

TiO2 nanomaterial is promising with its high potential and outstanding performance in photocatalytic environmental applications, such as CO2 conversion, water treatment, and air quality control. For many of these applications, the particle size, crystal structure and phase, porosity, and surface area influence the activity of TiO2 dramatically. TiO2 nanomaterials with special structures and morphologies, such as nanospheres, nanowires, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanoflowers are thus synthesized due to their desired characteristics. With an emphasis on the different morphologies of TiO2 and the influence factors in the synthesis, this review summarizes fourteen TiO2 preparation methods, such as the sol-gel method, solvothermal method, and reverse micelle method. The TiO2 formation mechanisms, the advantages and disadvantages of the preparation methods, and the photocatalytic environmental application examples are proposed as well.

土壤pH对东南景天修复镉污染土壤的影响研究

东南景天是一种镉和锌的超积累植物,改变土壤p H能否有效提高其吸收镉的效率,需要进一步验证。采用盆栽实验研究不同土壤p H下东南景天吸收和积累Cd的差异以及对Ca Cl2提取有效态镉的影响。结果表明,降低土壤p H值显著提高了土壤镉的有效态含量。弱酸性土壤即p H接近5.5时东南景天生物量及累积镉的量最大,土壤镉去除率也最高,达6.6%。强酸性即当p H接近4时,虽然植物地上与地下镉含量均最高,但生物量最小,植物去除率较其他处理低。研究证实降低土壤p H是提高植物提取效率的有效办法,这为进一步利用东南景天修复镉污染土壤,提高修复效率提供了科学依据。     

风化过程对船舶燃料油组分及其指纹特征的影响

以某船舶燃料油为研究对象,进行自然条件下的风化实验,研究燃料油中的正构烷烃、PAHs的风化规律及特征比值随风化时间的稳定性,了解风化与该油品的化学组成变化间的关系。结果表明:(1)自然风化60 d后,燃料油品低碳组分(小于nC13)的正构烷烃几乎完全消失,中碳数正构烷烃可能比高碳数正构烷烃更难于风化;(2)随着PAHs环数的增加,燃料油品PAHs组分的风化损失减少;菲与二苯并噻吩的损失表明烷基化程度大的化合物可能比未发生取代的PAHs损失程度更大。最后,通过将正构烷烃、甾萜烷类生物标志物和PAHs中的24个特征比值的相对标准偏差与5%进行比较,判断其稳定性,筛选出该油品中稳定性好的特征比值,为其风化溢油鉴别提供技术支持。     

麦秸及其烟尘中正构脂肪酸的组成

在不同燃烧条件下对6种麦草进行焚烧,并利用GC/MS对麦秸和烟尘中的正构脂肪酸进行了测定.结果表明,烟尘中含有碳数C8~C32的正构脂肪酸.在明火烟尘中,正构脂肪酸总含量分布于1 509.3~10 543.7 mg·kg-1之间,平均值为5 871.2mg·kg-1.其轻(C8~C16)、重(C17~C32)正构脂肪酸含量之比(L/H)为0.8~5.3,平均值为2.8;C14/C16、C28/C16、C30/C16等比值的平均值分别为16.5%、14.1%、11.4%.正构脂肪酸呈双峰式分布,其主峰碳数是C16,次峰碳数是C28或C30,且具有显著的偶碳数优势.其碳优势指数(CPI)和平均碳链长度(ACL)的平均值分别为19.8和18.2.在闷烧烟尘中,正构脂肪酸的总含量为5 799.3~37 244 mg·kg-1,平均值为15 838.6 mg·kg-1.其L/H值介于1.2~5.6之间,平均为4.2;C14/C16、C28/C16、C30/C16的平均值分别为12.7%、10.1%、6.0%.闷烧烟尘中正构脂肪酸的分布模式与明火烟尘的类似,其CPI和ACL的平均值分别为24.7和17.7.总之,虽然两类烟尘和麦秸中的正构脂肪酸均具有类似的分布模式和偶碳数优势,但三者在组成上仍然存在明显的差别.这有助于识别大气气溶胶中麦秸及其燃烧排放的正构脂肪酸.
