腐殖酸对生物炭去除水中Cr(Ⅵ)的影响机制研究

以污泥生物炭作吸附剂处理水中Cr(Ⅵ),研究了共存腐殖酸对生物炭吸附性能影响.结果表明,腐殖酸能显著促进生物炭对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附,大幅提高吸附量以及缩短吸附平衡时间,生物炭吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型.在溶液初始pH4.0,生物炭浓度20 g·L-1,Cr(Ⅵ)初始浓度在50～800 mg·L-1范围下,Langmuir模型比Freundlich模型更好地描述等温吸附行为.加入腐殖酸(20 mg·L-1)后拟合得到的理论饱和吸附量达10.10 mg·g-1,较未加入腐殖酸的吸附量5.56 mg·g-1提高近1倍.在pH 2.0～8.0范围内,吸附量随溶液初始pH值升高而减小.腐殖酸浓度上升,生物炭吸附能力进一步提高.红外光谱显示,生物炭表面的羟基、羧基、酯基、芳香环上C—H和环状结构上的CC等化学活性官能团与Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附有关.结合XPS分析结果,推断腐殖酸共存促进生物炭吸附的机制是:腐殖酸提高了Cr(Ⅵ)在生物炭表面聚集浓度,有利于生物炭对Cr(Ⅵ)的直接吸附和还原,而腐殖酸本身具有的吸附能力增加了对溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)和Cr(Ⅲ)的去除.     

Molecular docking analysis on antifungal properties of acid condensate produced from palm kernel shell

The rise in the number of fungi that resisted antifungal action is of serious concern nowadays. In this study, the potential of acid condensate (AC) produced from microwave-assisted pyrolysis of palm kernel shell (PKS) was investigated for its antifungal properties through molecular docking evaluation. The phenolic-rich AC was determined for its chemical compositions using the GC–MS analysis where compounds with the highest phenolics content were further evaluated (using the Autodock Tools 1.5.7) for its potential enzymes/protein binding properties. From the GC–MS analysis, catechol, guaiacol and syringol were present at highest percentages. This directly correlates with results obtained from the molecular docking works where all these ligands managed to bind (indicated by H-bond, π-stacking, hydrophobic interaction) with some of the amino acid at the active sites which indicate its potential to inhibit substrate binding of this enzyme. As a conclusion, this study demonstrated the potential use of AC from agricultural biomass such as PKS as a natural-based antifungal agent that can reduce environmental and health impacts.     

A multidecadal oscillation in precipitation and temperature series is pronounced in low flow series from Puget Sound streams

In Pacific Northwest streams, summer low flows limit water available to competing instream (salmon) and out-of-stream (human) uses, creating broad interest in how and why low flows are trending. Analyses that assumed linear (monotonic) change over the last ~60 years revealed declining low flow trends in minimally disturbed streams. Here, polynomials were used to model flow trends between 1929 and 2015. A multidecadal oscillation was observed in flows, which increased initially from the 1930s until the 1950s, declined until the 1990s, and then increased again. A similar oscillation was detected in precipitation series, and opposing oscillations in surface temperature, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation series. Multidecadal oscillations with similar periods to those described here are well known in climate indices. Fitted model terms were consistent with flow trends being influenced by at least two drivers, one oscillating and the other monotonic. Anthropogenic warming is a candidate driver for the monotonic decline, and variation in (internal) climatic circulation for the oscillating trend, but others were not ruled out. The recent upturn in streamflows suggests that anthropogenic warming has not been the dominant factor driving streamflow trends, at least until 2015. Climate projections based on simulations that omit drivers of multidecadal variation are likely to underestimate the range, and rate of change, of future climatic variation.
