Catalytic bubble-free hydrogenation reduction of azo dye by porous membranes loaded with palladium nanoparticles

Catalytic bubble-free hydrogenation reduction of azo dye by porous membranes loaded with palladium （Pd） nanoparticles was studied for the first time. The effects of Pd loading, dye concentration and reuse repetitions of membranes were investigated. In reduction, the dye concentration decreased whereas the pH rose gradually. An optimal Pd loading was found. The catalytic membranes were able to be reused more than 3 times.     

Evaluating the effectiveness of marine actinobacterial extract and its mediated titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the degradation of azo dyes

Aim of the present study was to synthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles （YiO2 NPs） from marine actinobacteria and to develop an eco-friendly azo-dye degradation method. A total of five actinobacterial isolates were isolated from Chennai marine sediments, Tamilnadu, India and analyzed for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs using titanium hydroxide. Among these, the isolate PSV 3 showed positive results for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs, which was confirmed by UV analysis. Further characterization of the synthesized TiO2 NPs was done using XRD, AFM and FI＇-IR analysis. Actinobacterial crude extract and synthesized TiO2 NPs was found efficient in degrading azo dye such as Acid Red 79 （AR-79） and Acid Red 80 （AR-80）. Degradation percentage was found to be 81% for AR-79, 83% for AR-80 using actinobacterial crude extract and 84% for AR-79, 85% for AR-80 using TiO2 NPs. Immobilized actinobacterial ceils showed 88% for AR-79 and 81% for AR- 80, dye degrading capacity. Degraded components were characterized by FT-IR and GC-MS analysis. The phytotoxicity test with 500 μg/mL of untreated dye showed remarkable phenotypic as well as cellular damage to Tagetes erecta plant. Comparatively no such damage was observed on plants by degraded dye components. In biotoxicity assay, treated dyes showed less toxic effect as compared to the untreated dyes.     

Inhibitory effects of nisin-coated multi-walled carbon nanotube sheet on biofilm formation from Bacillus anthracis spores

Multi-walled carbon nanotube（MWCNT） sheet was fabricated from a drawable MWCNT forest and then deposited on poly（methyl methacrylate） film. The film was further coated with a natural antimicrobial peptide nisin. We studied the effects of nisin coating on the attachment of Bacillus anthracis spores, the germination of attached spores, and the subsequent biofilm formation from attached spores. It was found that the strong adsorptivity and the super hydrophobicity of MWCNTs provided an ideal platform for nisin coating. Nisin coating on MWCNT sheets decreased surface hydrophobicity, reduced spore attachment, and reduced the germination of attached spores by 3.5 fold, and further inhibited the subsequent biofilm formation by 94.6% compared to that on uncoated MWCNT sheet. Nisin also changed the morphology of vegetative cells in the formed biofilm.The results of this study demonstrated that the anti-adhesion and antimicrobial effect of nisin in combination with the physical properties of carbon nanotubes had the potential in producing effective anti-biofilm formation surfaces.

纳米Fe0粒子对产乙烯脱卤菌群脱氯性能和多样性影响研究

为探讨纳米Fe0粒子对产乙烯脱卤菌群脱氯性能和物种多样性的影响,采用纳米Fe0粒子与产乙烯脱卤菌群联合脱氯,并通过气相色谱、PCR-DGGE和TEM等技术手段进行相关表征.结果表明:当纳米Fe0粒子浓度为0~0.50 g·L-1时,体系的脱氯速率提高较小,低于40%,且菌种数量无明显变化;当其浓度为0.50~1.00 g·L-1时,体系的脱氯速率由0.31μmol·h-1提高到0.77μmol·h-1,体系的脱氯速率提高了60%,部分DGGE条带消失,多样性减少.TEM结果显示,产乙烯脱卤拟球菌在与纳米Fe0粒子接触部位有轻度破损,但细胞没有破裂.纳米Fe0粒子浓度较高时对产乙烯脱卤菌群的脱氯有明显的促进作用,但会使产乙烯脱卤菌群物种多样性减少.

新《环境保护法》规范下环境公益诉讼制度的构建

新《环境保护法》第五十八条进一步明确了环境公益诉讼主体,放宽了环境公益诉讼范围,具有重要意义。然而要将其规定真正实施,还面临着许多问题和挑战:环境行政公益诉讼尚未作为一种诉讼类型,提起公益诉讼"法律规定的机关"范围仍未明确,缺乏环境公益诉讼具体规则,民间环保组织可能会无意愿或者无能力提起公益诉讼,司法体制改革滞后可能会使人民法院不能积极立案,而且环境公益诉讼相关制度也缺乏必要的衔接。面对这些问题和挑战,环境公益诉讼制度的构建应完善环境公益诉讼类型,清晰界定并逐步扩大环境公益诉讼主体,提升环保社会组织提起环境公益诉讼能力,稳步推进环境审判体制改革,制定和健全环境公益诉讼规则,保障环境公益诉讼相关制度的配套与衔接。

外源新碳对红壤团聚体及有机碳分布和稳定性的影响

以中国科学院长期定位试验站的红壤为研究对象,通过室内模拟实验,利用δ~(13)C示踪方法,将稳定同位素碳(δ13C)标记的水稻秸秆添加入红壤,研究水稻秸秆添加对红壤水稳性团聚体分布及稳定性的影响,探索水稻秸秆腐解过程中有机碳在不同粒级团聚体中的动态变化以及分布规律.研究结果表明:未添加水稻秸秆的红壤(对照组),微团聚体(250μm)占主体,2000μm粒级水稳性团聚体含量最少.与对照相比,添加水稻秸秆后(试验组)促进了2000μm粒级水稳性团聚体的团聚.不同培养时期,2000μm水稳性团聚体增加了108.3%~270.3%,促使大团聚体占主体,显著提高了红壤水稳性团聚体的平均重量直径(MWD)、几何平均直径(GMD)、R0.25值,降低了分形维数(D)值,土壤结构明显得到改善.各粒级团聚体有机碳含量也显著得到提高,2000μm团聚体有机碳含量比对照组增加了14.7%~41.5%.土壤有机碳在53μm粒级团聚体中分布随着粒级的增大而增大,即2000μm2000~250μm250~53μm.不同粒级团聚体δ13C值动态变化显著,有机碳的周转速率增大.外源新碳前期主要分配在2000μm、250~53μm粒级团聚体中,并促进了原有机碳的分解,后期主要分配在微团聚体中.红壤大团聚体有机碳含量与团聚体稳定性呈极显著的相关关系(p0.01).
