Identification and characterization of the chromium（Ⅵ） responding protein from a newly isolated Ochrobactrum anthropi CTS-325

A Gram-negative, chromium(VI) tolerant and reductive strain CTS-325, isolated from a Chinese chromate plant, was identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi based on its biochemical properties and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. It was able to tolerate up to 10 mmol/L Cr(VI) and completely reduce 1 mmol/L Cr(VI) to Cr(III) within 48 h. When the strain CTS-325 was induced with Cr(VI), a protein increased significantly in the whole cell proteins. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis revealed that this protein was a superoxide dismutase (SOD) homology. The measured superoxide dismutase activity was 2694 U/mg after three steps of purification. The SOD catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion (O₂^·−) into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. This protein is considered to be one of the most important anti-oxidative enzymes for O. anthropi as it allows the bacterium to survive high oxygen stress environments, such as the environment produced during the reduction process of Cr(VI).     

Synthesis, characterization, and adsorption performance of Pb（Ⅱ）-imprinted polymer in nano-TiO2 matrix

Surface ion-imprinted in combination with sol-gel process was applied to synthesis a new Pb(II)-imprinted polymer for selective separation and enrichment of trace Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The prepared material was characterized by using the infrared spectra, X-ray di ractometer, and scanning electron microscopy. The batch experiments were conducted to study the optimal adsorption condition of adsorption trace Pb(II) from aqueous solutions on Pb(II)-imprinted polymer. The equilibrium was achieved in approximately 4.0 h, and the experimental kinetic data were fitted the pseudo second-order model better. The maximum adsorption capacity was 22.7 mg/g, and the Langmuir equation fitted the adsorption isotherm data. The results of selectivity experiment showed that selectively adsorbed rate of Pb(II) on Pb(II)-imprinted polymer was higher than all other studied ions. Desorption conditions of the adsorbed Pb(II) from the Pb(II)-imprinted polymer were also studied in batch experiments. The prepared Pb(II)-imprinted polymer was shown to be promising for the separation and enrichment of trace Pb(II) from water samples. The adsorption and desorption mechanisms were proposed.     

北京北部水系沉积物中重金属的研究

主要研究了北京市北部水系沉积物中重金属(As、Hg、Cd、Cr、Cu、Mn、Ni、Pb、Ti和Zn)含量和来源.在潮白河及密云水库流域采集了17个沉积物样品,温榆河流域采集了5个样品,重金属含量As和Hg采用原子荧光光谱法测定,Cd、Cr、Cu、Mn、Ni、Pb、Ti和Zn含量用电感耦合等离子发射光谱法测定.研究结果表明,沉积物中重金属元素没有出现明显的富集状况,只有Hg、Cd、Cr和Zn在一些采样点有较高的富集.相关性分析表明Hg、Cd、Zn和Cu互相之间呈显著正相关(r0.06;p0.01),而Hg与Cr、Mn、Ni、Pb和Ti没有明显的相关性.通过主成分分析研究重金属的来源,发现前3个主成分贡献率分别为38%、23%和17%.因此,Hg、Cd、Zn和Cu作为第一主成分被认为与人类活动的工矿业开采有关,第二主成分As和Mn与人类活动的农业生产和生活污水排放有关,第三主成分Cr、Ni和Ti与岩石风化和土壤侵蚀有关.

纳米催化剂Pd/SnO_2的制备及催化还原硝酸盐反应的调控

采用热分解法制备了SnO2载体,并用浸渍法制备了Pd/SnO2催化剂.同时,采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、扫描电镜(SEM)及BET比表面积仪等对所制载体和催化剂材料进行了分析表征.结果表明,热分解法和浸渍法都能够获得纳米材料,SnO2及Pd/SnO2的粒径均在9～10nm左右,比表面积分别达到144.99m·2g-1和147.36m·2g-1.在以甲酸为还原剂的Pd/SnO2催化还原硝酸盐体系中,在Pd与SnO2负载比为2%～7%,反应温度为20～50℃和甲酸投加量4.0～24.0mmol·L-1的条件下,催化活性为0.70～9.48mg·min-·1g-1,且催化活性随着负载比、温度和甲酸投加量的增大而增大,随着pH的升高先升后降,最佳pH为3.反应温度升高及pH降低都能够提高Pd/SnO2的选择性.甲酸-Pd/SnO2催化还原硝酸盐体系中还原反应的调控策略为:反应温度宜控制在40～50℃内,这样可同时获得较高的催化活性和选择性,温度过高对催化活性和选择性影响很小,温度过低则会同时降低催化活性和选择性;控制pH为3时,可以获得最大的催化活性及较好的选择性,pH升高会降低Pd/SnO2的催化活性和选择性,pH降低会导致催化活性迅速降低,但对选择性影响不大;甲酸与硝酸盐的物质的量比宜大于4:1,此时可以有效地抑制pH的上升,同时获得较高的催化活性和选择性,甲酸与硝酸盐的物质的量比小于4:1时,会同时降低Pd/SnO2的催化活性和选择性.
