以自制氧化石墨烯（GO）分散液和加入一定量三嵌段共聚物PEO₂₀-PPO₇₀-PEO₂₀（P123）模板剂的TiO₂前驱体溶胶为原料,用交替浸渍-提拉结合热处理和紫外灯辐照还原法在玻璃基底上制备还原氧化石墨烯/介孔TiO₂（rGO/m-TiO₂）多层膜.通过X-射线衍射（XRD）、拉曼光谱（Raman）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、比表面积（BET）对多层膜进行表征分析.研究了模板剂P123加入量对多层膜的晶体结构、比表面积、形貌、孔径分布情况、吸附性能、光催化性能的影响.分别在紫外光及太阳光下评价rGO/m-TiO₂多层膜对土霉素（OTC）的光催化降解效果;在紫外光条件下,研究了多层膜对OTC的光催化降解机理.结果表明：P123的引入不会引起TiO₂晶体结构的变化;适量P123的引入可以优化多层膜的孔结构,增大比表面积、提高其吸附性能,进而提高薄膜的光催化性能;rGO/TiO₂（5wt% P123）薄膜60min对OTC的吸附率达51.2%,紫外光照射135min,降解率达到90.9%;太阳光照射50min,降解率达到91.5%.在降解OTC过程中,羟基自由基（·OH）起主要作用,路径以与·OH相关的羟基化反应和仲羟基氧化反应为主.     

Biodegradation of Agricultural Plastic Films: A Critical Review

The growing use of plastics in agriculture has enabled farmers to increase their crop production. One major drawback of most polymers used in agriculture is the problem with their disposal, following their useful life-time. Non-degradable polymers, being resistive to degradation (depending on the polymer, additives, conditions etc) tend to accumulate as plastic waste, creating a serious problem of plastic waste management. In cases such plastic waste ends-up in landfills or it is buried in soil, questions are raised about their possible effects on the environment, whether they biodegrade at all, and if they do, what is the rate of (bio?)degradation and what effect the products of (bio?)degradation have on the environment, including the effects of the additives used. Possible degradation of agricultural plastic waste should not result in contamination of the soil and pollution of the environment (including aesthetic pollution or problems with the agricultural products safety). Ideally, a degradable polymer should be fully biodegradable leaving no harmful substances in the environment. Most experts and acceptable standards define a fully biodegradable polymer as a polymer that is completely converted by microorganisms to carbon dioxide, water, mineral and biomass, with no negative environmental impact or ecotoxicity. However, part of the ongoing debate concerns the question of what is an acceptable period of time for the biodegradation to occur and how this is measured. Many polymers that are claimed to be ‘biodegradable’ are in fact ‘bioerodable’, ‘hydrobiodegradable’, ‘photodegradable’, controlled degradable or just partially biodegradable. This review paper attempts to delineate the definition of degradability of polymers used in agriculture. Emphasis is placed on the controversial issues regarding biodegradability of some of these polymers.     

Effects of benthic hydraulics on sediment oxygen demand in a canyon-shaped deep drinking water reservoir: Experimental and modeling study

Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is a major contributor to hypolimnetic oxygen depletion and the release of internal nutrient loading. By measuring the SOD in experimental chambers using in both dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion and diffusional oxygen transfer methods, a model of SOD for a sediment bed with water current-induced turbulence was presented. An experimental study was also performed using near-sediment vertical DO profiles and correlated hydraulic parameters stimulated using a computational fluid dynamics model to determine how turbulences and DO concentrations in the overlying water affects SOD and diffusive boundary layer thickness. The dependence of the oxygen transfer coefficient and diffusive boundary layer on hydraulic parameters was quantified, and the SOD was expressed as a function of the shear velocity and the bulk DO concentrations. Theoretical predictions were validated using microelectrode measurements in a series of laboratory experiments. This study found that flow over the sediment surface caused an increase in SOD, attributed to enhanced sediment oxygen uptake and reduced substances fluxes, i.e., for a constant maximum biological oxygen consumption rate, an increased current over the sediment could increase the SOD by 4.5 times compared to stagnant water. These results highlight the importance of considering current-induced SOD increases when designing and implementing aeration/artificial mixing strategies.     

不同方法测定沉积物中生物可利用性磷对铜绿微囊藻生长量的影响

采用梯度扩散薄膜(DGT)技术,以太湖9个采样点所采集的27个沉积物柱样为研究对象,研究沉积物中DGT所测量的磷浓度(DGT-P)与铜绿微囊藻生长量之间的关系,同时与4种常规的生物可利用性磷方法[(水溶性磷(WSP)、易解析磷(RDP)、藻可利用磷(AAP)和NaHCO3提取磷(Olsen-P))]进行比较,评价不同提取方法获得的太湖沉积物生物可利用性磷与铜绿微囊藻生长量的关系.结果表明,DGT-P与藻生长量的相关系数为R2=0.941(P<0.01),高于4种生物可利用性磷提取法的相关系数(WSP,0.780、RDP,0.806、AAP,0.849、Olsen-P,0.910).结果表明DGT技术可以作为预测原位沉积物磷的生物可利用性的工具.
