Sequestration of phorbolesters by the aposematically coloured bug Pachycoris klugii (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) feeding on Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae)

Summary. The phorbol ester DHPB has been detected in 5th instars and adults of Pachycoris klugii which feed on Jatropha curcas, a producer of phorbol esters with mollusc-, insect-, and vertebrate toxicity. DHPB from Pachycoris activates protein kinase C (PKC) which appears to be the main molecular target for phorbol esters. Phorbol esters of J. curcas exhibit a wide range of acute toxic effects in vertebrates and insects. It is therefore likely that the sequestration of DHPB, which would explain the aposematic colouration of the bugs, confers chemical protection to P. klugii against vertebrate predators.

Catalytic reductive dechlorination of p–chlorophenol in water using Ni/Fe nanoscale particles

Nanoscale bimetallic Ni/Fe particles were synthesized from the reaction of sodium borohydride （NaBH4） with reduction of Ni^2＋ and Fe^2＋ in aqueous solution. The obtained Ni/Fe particles were characterized by TEM （transmission electron microscope）, XRD （X-ray diffractometer）, and N2-BET. The dechlorination activity of the Ni/Fe was investigated using p-chlorophenol （p-CP） as a probe agent. Results demonstrated that the nanoscale Ni/Fe could effectively dechlorinate p-CP at relatively low metal to solution ratio of 0.4 g/L （Ni 5 wt%）. The target with initial concentration ofp-CP 0.625 mmol/L was dechlorinted completely in 60 rain under ambient temperature and pressure. Factors affecting dechlorination efficiency, including reaction temperature, pH, Ni loading percentage over Fe, and metal to solution ratio, were investigated. The possible mechanism of dechlorination ofp-CP was proposed and discussed. The pseudo-first- order reaction took place on the surface of the Ni/Fe bimetallic particles, and the activation energy of the dechlorination reaction was determined to be 21.2 kJ/mol at the temperature rang of 287-313 K.     

Cobalt and manganese stress in the microalga Pavlova viridis （Prymnesiophyceae）： Effects on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes

Pollution of marine environment has become an issue of major concern in recent years.Serious environmental pollution by heavy metals results from their increasing utilization in industrial processes and because most heavy metals are transported into the marine environment and accumulated without decomposition.The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects on growth,pigments, lipid peroxidation,and some antioxidant enzyme activities of marine microalga Pavlova viridis,in response to elevated concentrations of cobalt(Co)and manganese(Mn),especially with regard to the involvement of antioxidative defences against heavy metal-induced oxidative stress.In response to Co~(2 ),lipid peroxidation was enhanced compared to the control,as an indication of the oxidative damage caused by metal concentration assayed in the microalgal cells but not Mn~(2 ).Exposure of Pavlova viridis to the two metals caused changes in enzyme activities in a different manner,depending on the metal assayed:after Co~(2 )treatments,total superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity was irregular,although it was not significantly affected by Mn~(2 )exposure.Co~(2 )and Mn~(2 )stimulated the activities of catalase(CAT)and glutathione(GSH),whereas,ghitathione peroxidase(GPX)showed a remarkable increase in activity in response to Co~(2 )treatments and decreased gradually with Mn~(2 )concentration,up to 50μmol/L,and then rose very rapidly,reaching to about 38.98% at 200μmol/L Mn~(2 ).These results suggest that an activation of some antioxidant enzymes was enhanced,to counteract the oxidative stress induced by the two metals at higher concentration.     

香榧壳生物炭/g-C3N4活化过硫酸盐的光催化性能

采用简便一步热聚合法制备高催化活性的生物炭/g-C₃N₄复合光催化剂,并在可见光下活化过硫酸盐（PS）应用于对-乙酰氨基酚（AAP）废水的降解研究.通过紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱（UV-vis DRS）、光致发光光谱（PL）对该复合催化剂的光学性质进行了研究.结果表明,生物炭的引入使g-C₃N₄的可见光吸收边界从483nm增强至553nm,并且提高了光致电子-空穴对的分离效率.扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线衍射光谱（XRD）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FT-IR）及X射线光电子能谱（XPS）的表征结果显示生物炭的引入改善了g-C₃N₄的微结构.在反应体系中引入PS强化了AAP的去除效率,在可见光照射下其降解速率是未添加PS的8.9倍,表明该催化体系可有效活化PS产生更多高活性氧化物质.自由基捕获实验表明该催化系统可能存在·O₂^-、h⁺、·OH和·SO₄^-活性物种,复合材料性能的提升主要归因于生物炭作为电子受体,有效抑制了电子-空穴的复合.     

Selenium uptake and simultaneous catalysis of sulfite oxidation in ammonia-based desulfurization

Accelerating the (NH₄)₂SO₃ oxidation gives rise to the reclaiming of byproduct, while there are secondary environmental risks from reduction of the coexisted selenium species by sulfite. In this study, a bi-functional Co-SBA-15-SH, were synthesized through Co impregnation and sulfhydryl (-SH) decoration, which can simultaneously uptake Se and accelerate sulfite oxidation efficiently. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics and migration mechanism of Se species were revealed through characterization and density functional calculations, with maximum adsorption capacity of 223 mg/g. The inhibition of Se⁰ re-emission and poisonous effect of Se on sulfite oxidation was also investigated. Using the findings of this study, the ammonia desulfurization can be improved by enabling purification of the byproduct and lowering the toxicity of effluent by removing toxic pollutants.     

Simulation of three-stage operating temperature for supersaturation water-based condensational growth tube

In order to realize accurate dynamic control of supersaturation and to study condensation growth characteristics of nanoparticles through different levels of super saturation,a series of parametric analyses and systematic comparisons between two-stage and three-stage operating temperature designs were simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics.The simulation results showed that the three-stage operating temperature did not change peak supersaturation compared with two operating temperatures,and the three-stage operating temperature was superior in decreasing the amount of water vapor and the temperature,thus lowering particle loss and variation in detection and collection.The peak supersaturation level increased by 0.3 as the flow rate increased from 0.6 to 2.0 L/min,but the supersaturation peak moved from 0.0027 z0 to 0.08 z0(i.e.,the growth time and the final size decreased by 40%).Peak supersaturation increased as the temperature difference increased or the temperature difference window was shifting left,and minimum activation size decreased.Shifting the 70℃temperature difference window from 9℃,79℃-1℃,71℃for the condenser and initiator temperatures resulted in peak supersaturation in the centerline being above 5.8,and the activation size changed as low as 1 nm.Experiments with flow rates varying by a factor of 2.5(from 0.6 to 1.5 L/min) resulted in a final size decrease of 43%(from 3.2 to 1.8 μm),and experimental results of outlet particle size distributions were equivalent with theoretical analysis as the operating temperature was changed.

活化过硫酸盐氧化地下水中苯酚的动力学研究

以柠檬酸(CA)络合亚铁离子CA-Fe(II)为活化剂,活化过硫酸盐(S2O82-,PS)产生强氧化剂硫酸根自由基(SO4·-),进而催化氧化苯酚.从CA/Fe(II)物质的量比、Fe(II)浓度、过硫酸盐(PS)投加量和苯酚初始浓度4个因素来考察络合亚铁离子活化过硫酸盐氧化去除苯酚的动力学.结果表明,随着PS投加量的增加,苯酚的去除率随之提高;但随着苯酚初始浓度的增加,去除率逐渐降低;CA/Fe(II)物质的量比为1/5时,能够保持水溶液中足量的亚铁离子,有利于苯酚的氧化去除;当PS/CA/Fe(II)/苯酚物质的量比为100/10/50/1时,苯酚的去除率最高,反应15min后去除率达到98%,此时,苯酚的氧化反应速率k也达到最高值0.430min-1.活化过硫酸盐氧化去除苯酚的过程基本符合准一级动力学,在CA/Fe(II)/苯酚物质的量比为10/50/1条件下,苯酚氧化反应速率与过硫酸盐投加量呈线性正相关(R2 = 0.953).
