Efficient dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol in an aqueous media with a mild pH using a Pd/TiO2NTs/Ti cathode

In this study, palladium-loaded titania nanotubes was fabricated on a titanium plate (Pd/TiO₂NTs/Ti) for efficient electrodechlorination of 2,4-chlorophenol with a mild pH condition. The nature of Pd/TiO₂NTs/Ti electrodes was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The characterization results indicated the generation of Pd⁰ nanoparticles which were evenly dispersed on titania nanotubes arrays on the Pd/TiO₂NTs/Ti surface. An effective degradation efficiency of up to 91% was achieved within 60 min at cathode potential of −0.7 V (vs. SCE) and initial pH of 5.5. The effects of the applied cathode potential and initial pH on the degradation efficiency were studied. A near neutral condition was more favorable since very low and very high pHs were not conducive to the dechlorination process. Furthermore, the intermediates analysis showed that the Pd/TiO₂NTs/Ti electrode could completely remove chlorine from 2, 4-dichlorophenol since only phenol was detected as the byproduct and the concentration of released chlorine ions indicated near-complete dechlorination. This work presents a good alternative technique for eliminating persistent chlorophenols in polluted wastewater without maintaining strong acidic environment.     

Effects of nano-silicon and common silicon on lead uptake and translocation in two rice cultivars

The current study investigated the effects of nano-silicon (Si) and common Si on lead (Pb) toxicity, uptake, translocation, and accumulation in the rice cultivars Yangdao 6 and Yu 44 grown in soil containing two different Pb levels (500 mg·kg⁻¹ and 1000 mg·kg⁻¹). The results showed that Si application alleviated the toxic effects of Pb on rice growth. Under soil Pb treatments of 500 and 1000 mg·kg⁻¹, the biomasses of plants supplied with common Si and nano-Si were 1.8%–5.2% and 3.3%–11.8% higher, respectively, than those of plants with no Si supply (control). Compared to the control, Pb concentrations in rice shoots supplied with common Si and nano-Si were reduced by 14.3%–31.4% and 27.6%–54.0%, respectively. Pb concentrations in rice grains treated with common Si and nano-Si decreased by 21.3%–40.9% and 38.6%–64.8%, respectively. Pb translocation factors (TFs) from roots to shoots decreased by 15.0%–29.3% and 25.6%–50.8%, respectively. The TFs from shoots to grains reduced by 8.3%–13.7% and 15.3%–21.1%, respectively, after Si application. The magnitudes of the effects observed on plants decreased in the following order: nano-Si treatment>common Si treatment and high-grain-Pb-accumulating cultivar (Yangdao 6)>low-grain-Pb-accumulating cultivar (Yu 44) and heavy Pb stress (1000 mg·kg⁻¹)>moderate Pb stress (500 mg·kg⁻¹)>no Pb treatment. The results of the study indicate that nano-Si is more efficient than common Si in ameliorating the toxic effects of Pb on rice growth, preventing Pb transfer from rice roots to aboveground parts, and blocking Pb accumulation in rice grains, especially in high-Pb-accumulating rice cultivars and in heavily Pb-polluted soils.

基于固相萃取-超高效液相色谱-两级串联质谱(SPE-UPLC/MS/MS)技术,建立了制药废水中头孢克洛、头孢曲松、头孢氨苄、头孢噻肟、头孢唑啉、头孢呋辛、头孢西丁、头孢噻吩和头孢拉定共9种头孢类抗生素的测试方法,定量限为27.5~131.8ng/L,目标物回收率为72.8%~102.2%;利用该技术,检测某采用两级生物氧化工艺的制药废水处理厂各级单元出水,共检测出头孢曲松、头孢唑啉、头孢噻肟和头孢呋辛4种头孢类抗生素,其在进水中平均浓度分别为7.6,12.9,5.6,91.6μg/L,在一级氧化出水中平均浓度分别为4.2,5.2,2.2,37.4μg/L,在二级氧化出水中平均浓度分别为2.0,2.7,0.6,24.4μg/L;风险商值法评估制药废水出水中残留的头孢曲松、头孢唑啉、头孢噻肟和头孢呋辛的环境风险均为高风险等级.     

碳磷比对SND过程污染物去除及N2O释放的影响

以两个平行运行的SBR反应器为研究对象,研究了碳磷比对同步硝化反硝化过程中污染物去除及温室气体N2O释放的影响.结果表明:系统对COD和氨氮的去除率均能达到90%以上,总磷和总氮去除率随碳磷比的降低而提高,这是由于低碳磷比下聚磷菌得到富集,同时部分聚磷菌利用NO3-和NO2-为电子受体吸收磷,从而实现脱氮除磷的同步提高.系统的N2O释放量随碳磷比的降低而降低,低碳磷比下N2O释放量仅为高碳磷比的76%.低碳磷比下N2O释放量的减少主要是由于异养反硝化过程对N2O释放的贡献降低导致的.     

不同EPS组成生物膜对Cu2+吸附的研究

采用自行设计的反应器,通过调节培养液的配比对载体进行挂膜,得到蛋白质和多糖含量比分别为7:1、5:1和10:1的3种生物膜作为吸附剂,用其对Cu2+进行吸附试验,同时对吸附机理进行探讨.结果表明,培养8d后,生物膜可挂膜成熟,在C/N=12时,生物膜上的菌落数较C/N=4和C/N=37条件下多.PN/PS值越小,生物膜对铜的吸附量越高,EPS3对Cu2+的吸附量分别高出EPS1 7.37 %, EPS2 7.62%.在生物膜吸附Cu2+后,溶液中Ca2+、Mg2+、K+含量明显升高,表明离子交换对生物膜吸附Cu2+起主要作用,且Cu2+更易与Ca2+和Mg2+产生离子交换作用.当KNO3浓度在0.1~0.6mol/L之间,随着离子强度的增加,生物膜吸附Cu2+的量迅速减少,当KNO3浓度大于0.6mol/L时,生物膜对Cu2+吸附量的变化趋于平缓,说明生物膜对Cu2+的吸附同时包括离子交换吸附和化学吸附.

The importance of different forms of Pb on diminishing biological activities in a calcareous soil

In this experimental study, we evaluated the effect of different lead (Pb) fractions on biological properties in soil spiked with 0, 600, 1200 and 1800 mg kg^?1 Pb, during a 90-day incubation period at 25?28°C. Different Pb fractions were measured by sequential extraction at days 1 and 90 after soil treatment. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Pb and soil biological properties at days 1, 5, 15, 45 and 90 were measured. The concentration of Pb in soluble and exchangeable fractions was very high at day 1, but it showed remarkable transfer into carbonate and residual fractions by day 90. Substrate-induced respiration, basal respiration, acid and alkaline phosphatases, microbial populations (bacterial, fungal and actinomycetes) and biomass carbon decreased significantly with soil contamination compared with the control. With Pb ageing, these biological properties increased. Metabolic quotient (qCO₂) increased significantly compared with the control with increasing Pb concentration. The toxicity of various forms of Pb for the biological status of the soil was in the following order: KNO₃ extractable>NaOH extractable>EDTA extractable>HNO ₃ extractable>total content Pb. Thus, the bioavailable fractions are better indicators of Pb pollution in soils.     

Cd胁迫下杂交水稻对Cd的吸收及其动态变化

镉（Cd）是非必需的有毒元素,是农业环境和农产品的重要污染物,易被水稻吸收并在籽粒中积累。不同水稻品种拥有不同的独特基因,导致水稻籽粒吸收积累Cd的能力存在一定的差异。因此,开展不同水稻品种耐Cd特性及其不同生育期的吸收转运效率研究具有重要意义。本文采用水培试验,研究了两个水稻（Oryza sativa L.）品种：D83A/R527（低吸收累积Cd）和辐优838（高吸收累积Cd）在不同质量浓度Cd胁迫下籽粒Cd质量分数及不同生育时期水稻根、茎、叶内Cd的吸收积累量及其动态变化特点。结果表明,两种水稻品种在Cd胁迫下籽粒Cd积累量差异显著,辐优838在1.0 mg·L^-1 Cd质量浓度胁迫下籽粒Cd质量分数就已超过国家食品卫生标准;在1.0~3.0 mg·L^-1 Cd质量浓度胁迫下,D83A/R527籽粒内Cd质量分数仅为辐优838的50~60%。随着Cd处理浓度增加和生育时期推进,两种水稻各部位Cd吸收量均表现为逐渐增加,其增加幅度总体表现为：辐优838〉D83A/R527;不同部位中,根的积累效应最强,叶片吸收积累能力最低,辐优838茎、叶吸收积累效率分别是D83A/R527的1.5~2.0倍左右。在1.0~3.0mg·L^-1 Cd胁迫下,水稻Cd积累差异较为显著的时期为灌浆期,辐优838的根系向茎、叶的转移效率大于D83A/R527,且D83A/R527主要表现为由根系向茎Cd转移效率较高,叶片Cd积累相对较少。灌浆期是水稻籽粒干物质积累的重要时期,也是吸收累积Cd的重要时期,这为筛选低吸收积累水稻品种和调控Cd在水稻籽粒中的吸收累积奠定了重要理论基础。
