汞矿山废弃地土壤汞污染研究

中国是世界上第3大产汞国,而主要的供应源是汞开采,尽管多数矿山开采活动已经关闭,但大规模遗留下来的矿山废弃地会引发许多生态环境问题,尤其是矿山废弃地土壤中汞污染已经成为严重的环境问题之一.文章通过对矿山废弃地的环境污染特征、土壤汞污染途径、迁移方式进行系统综述,介绍了土壤汞污染修复技术,并在此基础上提出了存在的问题以及有待进一步研究的方向.     

湿法烟气脱硫系统中氧化态汞的还原和影响机制综述

利用湿法脱硫系统协同脱除二价汞是当前燃煤烟气脱汞的重要方法。然而脱硫系统是一个还原系统,吸收进入脱硫浆液中的二价汞会发生再次还原,显著降低汞的脱除效率。就脱硫浆液中二价汞的还原问题,详细阐述了当前研究者在液相二价汞的还原机制、液相离子、气相条件和操作条件等对二价汞还原的影响方面的研究进展。     

过渡金属元素掺杂改性SCR对零价汞的催化氧化性能

为提高商用SCR催化剂对Hg0(零价汞)的催化氧化活性,研究了过渡金属对其进行掺杂改性的方法,并利用固定床反应平台考察了不同试验条件下改性催化剂对Hg0的氧化效率. 结果表明:Y、Zn、Ni和Zr等过渡金属的掺杂可明显抑制SCR催化剂的催化活性,而Fe、Cu掺杂改性SCR催化剂对Hg0的催化氧化性能有显著提升. 在反应温度为350 ℃、空速比为370 000 h-1、φ(HCl)为1×10-5的条件下,Fe、Cu掺杂改性的SCR催化剂对Hg0的氧化效率均能达到90%以上,并且Fe掺杂改性后的SCR催化剂的脱硝性能也未受到明显影响. 借助XRD和XPS等表征手段,对反应前后Fe掺杂改性SCR催化剂进行了研究,表明Fe改性SCR催化剂遵循Mars-Maessen和Langmuir-Hinshelwood机制,可明显提高对Hg0的催化氧化效率,因此,应用前景较好.      

土壤释汞通量影响因素研究进展

汞具有独特的物理化学性质和生物毒性,能在大气中长期滞留,对距离污染源较远的地区造成污染。土壤是一个巨大的汞库,土壤和大气界面汞的交换是汞的生物地球化学循环的重要组成部分,能够对周围环境产生显著的影响。土壤释汞通量受到很多环境因素的影响,如土壤中汞的形态、土壤和大气中汞含量、土壤温度、光照、土壤湿度、降雨和灌溉、土壤p H和Eh、植被、气象因素、微生物等。环境因素的变化可能会导致土壤释汞通量的昼夜变化和季节变化。环境因素通常对土壤释汞通量进行复合影响,而最终的影响结果可能表现为协同或是拮抗作用。本文对影响土壤释汞通量的主要因素及其影响机理进行了详细地介绍,提出了对各种环境因素的复合效应的结果的研究需要进一步开展。     

Long‐term mercury accumulation in the presence of cadmium and lead in oseochromis aureus (Steindachner)

Abstract

The effects of cadmium and lead on chronic mercury accumulation were investigated in O. aureus. After 140 days’ exposure the accumulation of mercury in the liver, brain, gill filaments, intestine, caudal muscle, spleen, trunk kidney and eye was analysed. The exposure concentrations were 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mg/L for mercury alone. O. aureus was also exposed to mixtures of 0.05 mg/L mercury with lead (0.05 mg/L and 0.50 mg/L or cadmium (0.05 mg/L) and 0.10 mg/L mercury with 0.10 mg/L cadmium. In food fish, a knowledge of toxic metal accumulation patterns is of great importance because of their contribution to the human diet and, as fishmeal, to the diet of agricultural animals. The trunk kidney consistently accumulated higher concentrations of mercury than any of the other tissues investigated.     

Evaluating the Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Source‐Sink Dynamics in Pond‐Breeding Amphibians

Although interwetland dispersal is thought to play an important role in regional persistence of pond‐breeding amphibians, few researchers have modeled amphibian metapopulation or source‐sink dynamics. Results of recent modeling studies suggest anthropogenic stressors, such as pollution, can negatively affect density and population viability of amphibians breeding in isolated wetlands. Presumably population declines also result in reduced dispersal to surrounding (often uncontaminated) habitats, potentially affecting dynamics of nearby populations. We used our data on the effects of mercury (Hg) on the American toad ( Bufo americanus) as a case study in modeling the effects of anthropogenic stressors on landscape‐scale amphibian dynamics. We created a structured metapopulation model to investigate regional dynamics of American toads and to evaluate the degree to which detrimental effects of Hg contamination on individual populations can disrupt interpopulation dynamics. Dispersal from typical American toad populations supported nearby populations that would otherwise have been extirpated over long time scales. Through support of such sink populations, dispersal between wetland‐associated subpopulations substantially increased overall productivity of wetland networks, but this effect declined with increasing interwetland distance and decreasing wetland size. Contamination with Hg substantially reduced productivity of wetland‐associated subpopulations and impaired the ability of populations to support nearby sinks within relevant spatial scales. Our results add to the understanding of regional dynamics of pond‐breeding amphibians, the wide‐reaching negative effects of environmental contaminants, and the potential for restoration or remediation of degraded habitats.

Rapid assays for environmental and biological monitoring

Abstract

Rapid, inexpensive, sensitive, and selective enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) now are utilized in environmental science. In this laboratory, many ELISAs have been developed for pesticides and other toxic substances and also for their metabolites. Compounds for which ELISAs have recently been devised include insecticides (organophosphates, carbaryl, pyrethroids, and fenoxycarb), herbicides (s‐triazines, arylureas, triclopyr, and bromacil), fungicides (myclobutanil), TCDD, and metabolites of naphthalene and toluene. New rapid assays have been developed for mercury.     

重庆缙云山降水中不同形态汞的含量及其沉降量

于2013年4月至2014年3月连续1 a,利用湿沉降自动采样器采集了重庆缙云山的雨水样品,分析了样品中不同形态汞的含量,并计算其沉降量.结果表明,降水中总汞(THg)、溶解态汞(DHg)、颗粒态汞(PHg)、活性汞(RHg)、总甲基汞(Me Hg)、溶解态甲基汞(DMe Hg)、颗粒态甲基汞(PMe Hg)的含量范围分别为7.47~120.11、2.51~43.03、2.28~77.99、0.14~15.14、2.58×10-2~101.62×10-2、0.30×10-2~72.29×10-2、1.45×10-2~63.55×10-2ng·L-1.在计算各形态汞体积加权平均含量(VWM)的基础上,分别算出其年沉降通量为:42.71、23.51、19.20、5.87、0.61、0.34、0.27μg·(m2·a)-1.Me Hg占THg的比例是0.07%~3.79%(平均1.34%),而PHg占THg的比例以及PMe Hg占Me Hg的比例分别是10.49%~89.30%(平均49.95%)、4.31%~98.86%(平均43.14%).除Me Hg外,其它形态汞的含量和沉降量都表现出了明显的季节变化特征,THg、DHg、PHg的含量均为冬季最高而夏季最低,RHg的含量在春冬季明显高于秋夏季.THg、DHg、Me Hg、DMe Hg的沉降量与降雨量具有相同的季节变化趋势,均为春季夏季秋季冬季,RHg的沉降量也是春季最大,而冬季最小.缙云山大气汞沉降不仅受到降雨量、降雨频率以及其它气象条件的影响,也受到了人为活动的干扰.     

柠檬酸对三峡水库消落区土壤中汞活化及甲基化的影响

利用室内模拟实验,用不同浓度柠檬酸溶液分别浸提和培养土壤,探讨了植被根系分泌物的主要成分柠檬酸对三峡库区消落带土壤中汞活化及甲基化的影响.结果表明,添加柠檬酸后浸提液中汞含量在达到最高值之前均高于对照组(0 mmol·L~(-1)),且随柠檬酸浓度的增加而增大.0、1、2、4、5、6、8 mmol·L~(-1)浓度下最大汞溶出量随柠檬酸浓度的增加先增大而后保持稳定,分别占供试土壤总汞的1.03%、1.67%、1.99%、2.47%、2.68%、2.73%、2.73%.培养实验中,土壤甲基汞(Me Hg)含量在前3 h内基本维持稳定,随后除对照组增加缓慢外,其余组均开始上升,且上升速率随柠檬酸浓度的升高而增大.在同一培养时段内,土壤Me Hg含量及增加量随柠檬酸浓度的升高而增大.表明柠檬酸对土壤中无机汞向甲基汞的转化过程有一定的促进作用,且促进作用随着柠檬酸浓度的增加而愈加显著.     

青藏高原内陆典型冰川区"冰川-径流"汞传输过程

为研究青藏高原内陆典型冰川区"冰川-径流"汞输送过程,于2011年8月15日~9月9日对青藏高原内陆念青唐古拉山脉扎当冰川-曲嘎切流域内雪坑、冰川融水以及径流进行了采样,检测了不同环境介质中汞浓度,并分析了不同介质中汞的控制因素及输送过程.结果表明,扎当冰川-曲嘎切流域内雪坑、冰川融水以及曲嘎切径流中总汞浓度分别为(3.79±5.12)、(1.06±0.77)和(1.02±0.24)ng·L-1,处于全球背景水平.不同环境介质中均以颗粒态汞为主,受到总悬浮颗粒物和径流量的控制.随着气温升高,冰川消融,受其补给的河流径流量增加.不同环境介质间,从冰川末端融水到曲嘎切下游河水,总汞浓度峰值时间分别是14:00、16:00和20:00以后,体现了汞在"冰川-径流"环境系统中随冰川消融、径流量变化的释放和传输过程.冰川补给河流汞的传输受多种因素制约,气候变化背景下,冰川消融和径流增加带来的侵蚀将在汞释放及其向下游传输发挥日益重要的作用.
