The environmental state at sea

Seas and oceans are confronted with a plethora of environmental problems, caused by land-based activities (agriculture, industries, and ports) and by maritime activities (such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas drilling, tourism, and navigational dredging). Environmental problems at sea challenge the efficacy of state sovereignty. Who is responsible, accountable, and regulates environmental and spatial problems at the level of regional seas, and what is the role of states in these processes of governance? In the regional seas and on the high seas, the environmental state is challenged by two developments: states become players at different levels, and states are confronted with the activities of big market players where they have no or little jurisdiction. The different forms of the environmental state in Europe’s regional seas and in the Arctic Ocean are examined.

Effect of Fe-chelating complexes on a novel M2FC performance with ferric chloride and ferricyanide catholytes

As an effort to better utilize the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, we previously proposed an innovative MFC system named M2FC consisting of ferric-based MFC part and ferrous-based fuel cell (FC) part. In this reactor, ferric ion, the catholyte in the MFC part, was efficiently regenerated by the FC part with the generation of additional electricity. When both units were operated separately, the ferric-based MFC part produced approximately 1360 mW m⁻² of power density with FeCl₃ as catholyte and Fe-citrate as anolyte. The ferrous-based FC part with FeCl₃ as catholyte and Fe-EDTA as anolyte displayed the highest power density (1500 mW m⁻²), while that with ferricyanide as catholyte and Fe-noligand as anolyte had the lowest power density (380 mW m⁻²). The types of catholytes and chelating complexes as anolyte were found to play important roles in the reduction of ferric ions and oxidation of ferrous ion. Linear sweep voltammetry results supported that the cathode electrolytes were electrically active and these agreed well with the M2FC reactor performance. These results clearly showed that ligands played critical role in the efficiency and rate for recycling iron ion and thus the M2FC performance.     

Adsorption/Desorption of Copper by a Sandy Soil Amended with Various Rates of Manure,Sewage Sludge,and Incinerated Sewage Sludge

Organic amendments are sometimes applied to agricultural soils to improve the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of the soils. The organic fractions in these soil amendments also influence metal reaction, particularly the adsorption and desorption of metals, which, in turn, determine the bioavailability of the metals and hence their phytotoxicities. In this study, a Quincy fine sandy (mixed, mesic, Xeric Torripsamments) soil was treated with 0 to 160 g kg^?1 rates of either manure, sewage sludge (SS), or incinerated sewage sludge (ISS) and equilibrated in a greenhouse at near field capacity moisture content for 100 days. Following the incubation period, the soil was dried and adsorption of copper (Cu) was evaluated in a batch equilibration study at either 0, 100, 200, or 400 mg L^?1 Cu concentrations in a 0.01M CaCl₂ solution. The desorption of adsorbed Cu was evaluated by three successive elutions in 0.01M CaCl₂. Copper adsorption increased with an increase in manure rates. At the highest rate of manure addition (160 g kg^?1 soil), Cu adsorption was two-fold greater than that by the unamended soil at all rates of Cu additions. With increasing rates of Cu additions, the adsorption of Cu decreased from 99.4 to 77.6% of Cu applied to the 160 g kg^?1 manure amended soil. The desorption of Cu decreased with an increase in rate of manure amendment. Effects of sewage sludge amendments on Cu adsorption were somewhat similar to those as described for manure additions. Likewise, the desorption of Cu was the least at the high rate of SS addition (160 g kg^?1), although at the lower rates there was not a clear indication of the rate effects. In contrast to the above two amendments, the ISS amendment had the least effect on Cu adsorption. At the highest rate of ISS amendment, the Cu adsorption was roughly 50% of that at the similar rate of either manure or SS amendments, across all Cu rates.

Distribution and incorporation mode of the herbicide MCPA in soil derived organo-clay complexes

The incorporation of xenobiotics into soil, especially via covalent bonds or sequestration has a major influence on the environmental behavior including toxicity, mobility, and bioavailability. The incorporation mode of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) into organo-clay complexes has been investigated under a low (8.5 mg MCPA/kg soil) and high (1000 mg MCPA/kg soil) applied concentration, during an incubation period of up to 120 days. Emphasis was laid on the elucidation of distinct covalent linkages between non-extractable MCPA residues and humic sub-fractions (humic acids, fulvic acids, and humin). The cleavage of compounds by a sequential chemical degradation procedure (OH^?, BBr₃, RuO₄, TMAH thermochemolysis) revealed for both concentration levels ester/amide bonds as the predominate incorporation modes followed by ether linkages. A possible influence of the soil microbial activity on the mode of incorporation could be observed in case of the high level samples. Structure elucidation identified MCPA as the only nonextractable substance, whereas the metabolite 4-chloro-2-methylphenol was additionally found as bioavailable and bioaccessible compound.

原位水解生成的羟基氧化铁凝聚吸附除磷效能与机制简

将不同摩尔比Fe³⁺与OH^-（[Fe³⁺]：[OH^-]=1：0、1：1、1：2和1：3）反应获得原位水解生成的羟基氧化铁（in situ FeO_xH_y）,研究了具有不同水解程度的羟基氧化铁对凝聚吸附除磷效能与机制。研究显示,In situ FeO_xH_y对磷的去除率随铁投量增大而升高,且均在中性pH范围内具有最佳除磷效果;在相同铁投量条件下,磷去除率随着[OH^-]：[Fe³⁺]的升高而降低;当体系碱度较低时（pH<6）,引入OH^-可促进Fe³⁺水解而提高除磷效果。4种羟基氧化铁均可在15 s内可快速吸附磷,且吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型;Freundlich模型均可很好地描述磷在4种羟基氧化铁表面的吸附行为。磷酸盐吸附后,In situ FeO_xH_y表面Zeta电位明显降低,且[Fe³⁺]：[OH^-]为1：0的羟基氧化铁降低最为显著。结合MINITEQ计算软件磷酸盐、铁盐形态分析结果显示,对于碱度较低的体系,通过投加一定量OH^-可促进Fe³⁺水解,进而使得其更易与水中H₂PO₄^-与HPO₄^2-结合,生成具有多核羟基的磷酸铁络合物,进而提高除磷效果。
