Sub-chronic oral toxicity of acetamiprid in Wistar rats

Acetamiprid is a neoncotinoid insecticide that acts as an agonist to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor used as insecticide in crops and to control fleas on dogs and cats. The objectives of this study are (1) to evaluate the sub-chronic toxicity of orally administered acetamiprid, (2) to estimate the tissue residue levels and (3) to assess the reactive oxygen species induction in Wistar rats. Clinical signs of toxicity and changes in the haematological parameters were not observed in the acetamiprid-treated groups. Biochemically, increases in the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, cholesterol and decreases in body weight, feed consumption, reduced glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and AchE were observed. Lipid peroxidation was increased in liver and kidney. Acetamiprid residues persisted in liver, kidney, spleen, muscles, brain, fat and histopathology revealed lesions in the liver. The no observable adverse effect level of acetamiprid was found to be ≤55 mg/kg body weight.     

成都次降水稳定氢氧同位素特征及水汽来源分析

基于对成都地区2016年9月至2017年10月采集的113场次降水样品氢氧同位素的分析,发现大气次降水中δD、δ~(18)O、~(17)O、d-excess和~(17)O-excess有显著的季节性变化,旱季高雨季低,反映了该地区旱、雨两季水汽来源不同;地区大气降水线斜率和截距都偏小,表明成都降水来源于具有不同稳定同位素比率的源地,且雨滴在降落过程中发生了二次蒸发;三氧同位素大气降水线(δ'~(17)O=0. 528 9δ'~(18)O+0. 007 5)斜率介于海洋气团(0. 529)与干空气(0. 518)之间,表明成都地区处于海洋气团向内陆迁移的路径上; d值接近全球平均值,而~(17)O-excess值远较海水大,表明成都的水汽来源由海洋气团主导,且到达该地区的过程中同位素经历了严重的富集; d-excess在旱季出现的极低值可能是受到了人工降雨的影响,~(17)O-excess除了与水汽源地的相对湿度有关外,还会受到上游气团对流作用的影响,此外,成都当地的气象因素对不同季节次降水的~(17)O-excess值有不同程度的影响.     

Enhancement of simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal using intermittent aeration mechanism

Biological nutrient removal grows into complicated scenario due to the microbial consortium shift and kinetic competition between phosphorus (P)-accumulating and nitrogen (N)-removing microorganisms. In this study, three sequential batch reactors with constant operational conditions except aeration patterns at 6 h cycle periods were tested. Intermittent aeration was applied to develop a robust nutrient removal system aimed to achieve high energy saving and removal efficiency. The results showed higher correspondence of P-uptake, polymeric substance synthesis and glycogen degradation in intermittent-aeration with longer interval periods compared to continuous-aeration. Increasing the intermittent-aeration duration from 25 to 50 min, resulted in higher process performance where the system exhibited approximately 30% higher nutrient removal. This study indicated that nutrient removal strongly depends on reaction phase configuration representing the importance of aeration pattern. The microbial community examined the variation in abundance of bacterial groups in suspended sludge, where the 50 min intermittent aeration, favored the growth of P-accumulating organisms and nitrogen removal microbial groups, indicating the complications related to nutrient removal systems. Successful intermittently aerated process with high capability of simple implementation to conventional systems by elemental retrofitting, is applicable for upgrading wastewater treatment plants. With aeration as a major operational cost, this process is a promising approach to potentially remove nutrients in high competence, in distinction to optimizing cost-efficacy of the system.     

Ce-promoted Mn/ZSM-5 catalysts for highly efficient decomposition of ozone

Manganese oxides supported by ZSM-5 zeolite (Mn/ZSM-5) as well as their further modified by Ce promoter were achieved by simple impregnation method for ozone catalytic decomposition. The yCe20Mn/ZSM-5–81 catalyst with 8% Ce loading showed the highest catalytic activity at relative humidity of 50% and a space velocity of 360 L/(g × hr), giving 93% conversion of 600 ppm O₃ after 5 hr. Moreover, this sample still maintained highly activity and stability in humid air with 50%–70% relative humidity. Series of physicochemical characterization including X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed technology (NH₃-TPD and H₂-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and oxygen isotopic exchange were introduced to disclose the structure-performance relationship. The results indicated that moderate Si/Al ratio (81) of zeolite support was beneficial for ozone decomposition owing to the synergies of acidity and hydrophobicity. Furthermore, compared with 20Mn/ZSM-5-81, Ce doping could enhance the amount of low valance manganese (such as Mn²⁺ and Mn³⁺). Besides, the Ce³⁺/Ce⁴⁺ ratio of 8Ce20Mn/ZSM-5-81 sample was higher than that of 4Ce20Mn/ZSM-5-81. Additionally, the synergy between the MnO_x and CeO₂ could easily transfer electron via the redox cycle, thus resulting in an increased reducibility at low temperatures and high concentration of surface oxygen. This study provides important insights to the utilization of porous zeolite with high surface area to disperse active component of manganese for ozone decomposition.

缺氧-好氧连续流亚硝化颗粒污泥反应器的启动及稳定运行

在室温下(17~19℃),通过接种成熟的亚硝化颗粒污泥于缺氧-好氧连续流反应器中,研究连续流亚硝化颗粒污泥的启动及稳定运行.结果表明,在启动阶段,颗粒污泥系统的亚硝态氮积累率(NAR)平均超过95%,成功启动了缺氧-好氧连续流亚硝化颗粒污泥系统.将好氧区溶解氧(DO)由(3±0.2) mg·L~(-1)提高到(4.5±0.2) mg·L~(-1),探究DO对于该连续流系统的影响.结果表明,在较高DO下,缺氧-好氧连续流亚硝化颗粒污泥系统仍能保持良好的亚硝化性能,平均NAR大于95%.另外,通过改变进水的水力停留时间(HRT),探究HRT对于该连续流系统的影响.较短的水力停留时间(8.4 h)会加快污泥颗粒在系统中的循环,使破碎的颗粒污泥不能及时重组,致使污泥颗粒沉淀性变差,造成污泥颗粒的流失.HRT增加到12.2h时,颗粒污泥系统得到了恢复,并且可以稳定运行.在运行末(166 d),氨氮去除率和NAR分别为86.7%和96.2%.
