Online Water Monitoring Method as a Water Security Tool: A Feasibility View

Since the tragic event on September 11, 2001 (9/11), homeland security has been the center of major attention not only in the United States but also around the world. Among homeland security agenda, more concerns on drinking water system have been drawn into the forefront attention from the public and water industry. Governmental agencies have been called upon to strongly protect the water resources from becoming a possible terror target. The online monitoring of a water system offers the potential to reduce the possible danger from a terrorist contamination as well as from unintentional chemical spills. As potential terrorist contaminants, seven chemical compounds (aldicarb, cycloheximide, dicrotophos, nicotine, sodium arsenate, sodium cyanide, and sodium fluoroacetate) were studied at different doses, in order to determine their detectability when they are present in a water system, including intake, treatment, and distribution. These contaminants were monitored by measuring simple water quality parameters such as conductivity, pH, chlorine residual, turbidity, total organic carbon (TOC), and UV254. Results indicated that the contaminants used for the study were detected at certain toxicity concentrations through the online water quality monitoring method. This method provides a useful tool for watching water resources against possible terror attacks, and also keeping safe water quality.     

好氧砷还原菌对吸附态砷迁移转化的影响

利用静态和动态土柱实验初步研究了好氧砷还原菌Bacillus sp.SXB在砷迁移转化过程中的作用。结果表明,在静态实验中,菌株SXB可以有效还原吸附在针铁矿上的五价砷;在动态土柱实验中,由于原土中砷是以三价砷形式存在,因此,不论是空白对照还是菌株SXB加入处理,出水中砷均为三价砷;当孔隙体积大于100时,铁的溶出开始增加。菌株SXB的加入,轻微地促进了土壤中砷的释放,而对铁的释放并没有明显影响。     

Oxidation of As(Ⅲ) by potassium permanganate

The oxidation of As(Ⅲ) with potassium permanganate was studied under conditions including pH, initial As(Ⅲ) concentration and dosage of Mn(Ⅶ). The results have shown that potassium permanganate was an effective agent for oxidizing of As(Ⅲ) in a wide pH range. The pH value of tested water was not a significant factor affecting the oxidation of As(Ⅲ) by Mn(Ⅶ). Although theoretical redox analyses suggest that Mn(Ⅶ) should have better performance in oxidization of As(Ⅲ) within lower pH ranges, the experimental results show that the oxidation efficiencies of As(Ⅲ) under basic and acidic conditions were similar, which may be due to the adsorption of As(Ⅲ) on the Mn(OH)2 and MnO2 resulting from the oxidation of As(Ⅲ).     

磷和硫对空心菜吸收砷的影响

本文通过水培空心菜中砷与磷以及砷与硫配比试验，研究了ＰＯ＾３－４和ＡｓＯ＾３－４以及ＳＯ＾２－４和ＡｓＯ３＾３－４共存对空心菜生长及砷累积的影响。结果表明：５ｍｇ．ｌ＾－１ＰＯ＾３－４或ＳＯ＾２－４时，ＡｓＯ＾３－４显著降低空心菜产量，ＰＯ＾３－４和ＳＯ＾２－４含量提高到３０－１００ｍｇ．ｌ＾－１时，空心菜产量明显提高。．     

温度和砷酸根对砖红壤中Cd（II）吸附动力学的影响

土壤中砷和镉同时存在的现象普遍存在,但目前对砷酸根与Cd(II)在可变电荷土壤表面协同作用的机制还了解不多。用一次平衡法研究了288 K和308 K温度条件下Cd(II)在昆明砖红壤表面的吸附动力学,比较了加入砷酸根对Cd(II)吸附动力学的影响。结果显示,加As(V)和升高温度均不仅增加Cd(II)的吸附量,而且提高了吸附反应的速率。Cd(II)在砖红壤表面的吸附反应进行的特别快,几乎在30 min内达到准平衡,假二级动力学方程能很好拟合30 min内的吸附动力学数据(r2>0.999 5)。从反应速率常数计算得到的活化能的结果表明,加As(V)显著降低了Cd(II)吸附反应的活化能,这是As(V)促进可变电荷土壤吸附Cd(II)的根本原因。     

微生物砷还原机制的研究进展

砷是一种剧毒物质,环境中的砷对人体健康存在潜在威胁,因此长期以来备受关注.微生物的各种代谢过程对砷在环境中的归趋起着重要作用,其中砷还原微生物能将吸附于固体矿物中的As(Ⅴ)还原为可溶性强的As(Ⅲ),使砷进入液相,从而加剧了地下水等饮用水源的砷污染.论文主要介绍了两种微生物砷还原机制(异化砷还原和细胞质砷还原)在作用...     

Synthesis of mesoporous Cu/Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide and its adsorption performance for arsenate in aqueous solutions

The mesoporous Cu/Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide(Cu/Mg/Fe-LDH) with carbonate intercalation was synthesized and used for the removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions.The Cu/Mg/Fe-LDH was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry,X-ray diffraction crystallography,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller.Effects of various physico-chemical parameters such as pH,adsorbent dosage,contact time and initial arsenate concentration on the adsorption of arsenate onto Cu/Mg/Fe-LDH were investigated.Results showed that it was efficient for the removal of arsenate,and the removal efficiency of arsenate increased with the increment of the adsorbent dosage,while the arsenate adsorption capacity decreased with increase of initial pH from 3 to 11.The adsorption isotherms can be well described by the Langmuir model with R 2 > 0.99.Its adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model.Coexisting ions such as HPO42-,CO32-,SO42and NO3could compete with arsenate for adsorption sites on the Cu/Mg/Fe-LDH.The adsorption of arsenate on the adsorbent can be mainly attributed to the ion exchange process.It was found that the synthesized Cu/Mg/Fe-LDH can reduce the arsenate concentration down to a final level of < 10 μg/L under the experimental conditions,and makes it a potential material for the decontamination of arsenate polluted water.     

铁硅复合材料固定砷的酸释放特征

为评估酸化条件下铁硅复合材料（IS）对砷（As）钝化的环境稳定性,以酸滴定法结合X射线衍射分析技术（XRD）对铁硅复合材料固持态砷（IS-As）的酸释放特征开展研究.结果表明,IS具有较强的应对环境酸化的酸缓冲能力;IS-As对酸最为敏感的pH值区间介于7.68~11.48,在该区间内随酸的加入,AsO₄^3-快速溶出,该非酸稳态砷占总As的37.5%;而在pH值7.68~4.10区间,As溶出速率相对缓慢,该弱酸稳态As约占总As的7%.酸化条件下稳定存在、释放微弱的As为酸稳态,该部份约占总As的55.5%.XRD结果表明,在加入H⁺过程中,铁硅材料主要固砷矿物随pH值由高到低溶解的顺序依次为Ca₃（AsO₄）₂ > AlAsO₄ > As₂O₃>Ca₄SiAs₄ > FeAs₃O₉·4H₂O > Mn₂As₂O₇/SiAs₂.酸化条件下IS-As元素溶出率依次为S（94.8%） > Na（93.0%） > Ca（78.8%） > As（44.5%） > Mg（41.7%） > Al（37.6%） > Mn（37.5%） > Fe（5.5%）.IS-As中主要含砷矿物pH值稳定区间与伴生元素酸溶解特征结果表明,非酸稳态砷主要为钙结合态砷,弱酸稳性As主要为镁、锰、铁弱结合态,酸稳态As主要为铁锰硅强结合态.研究结果为铁硅复合材料修复土壤砷的安全利用风险评估及揭示其修复稳定机理提供了依据,并为土壤砷修复材料选择及形态研究方法方面提供新的参考.     

腐殖酸对As(V)在覆铁砂介质中吸附行为的影响

对腐殖酸(HA)进行了成分分析及红外表征,并从HA浓度、pH值、As(Ⅴ)初始浓度等方面,研究了HA对As(Ⅴ)在覆铁砂介质中吸附行为的影响.结果表明,随着HA浓度的升高,总砷去除率逐渐降低.当HA浓度增加到25mg.l-1时,与不存在HA条件下相比,总砷去除率降低了12%左右.溶液pH值影响As(Ⅴ)的去除,pH值从6升高到8时,总砷去除率从52.1%降到了39%.其中的作用机理主要是HA与As(Ⅴ)在覆铁砂表面形成竞争吸附,HA争夺了As(Ⅴ)的吸附点位.此外,HA与Fe(Ⅲ)的络合作用也是导致覆铁砂对砷的去除率降低的一个重要原因.

以Fe(Ⅲ)和Al(Ⅲ)对砷有较强的亲和性为理论基础,用沉淀法制备了9种同时含有Fe(Ⅲ)和Al(Ⅲ)的砷吸附剂--复合铁铝氢氧化物.X射线衍射和扫描电镜测定结果表明,有5种复合铁铝氢氧化物具有微晶-无定形态的结构特征.比表面测定结果表明,复合铁铝氢氧化物的孔体积和孔径明显低于相同实验条件下制得的氢氧化铁,说明铝的掺杂能明显改变氢氧化铁中规则的晶体结构和表面性质.用复合铁铝氢氧化物进行了水中砷的吸附研究,结果表明,该复合材料具有优良的除砷效能,吸附容量大;当pH为5.0～9.0、溶液中初始砷浓度为2 mg·L-1时,不同组成的铁铝复合氢氧化物都能使溶液中的砷含量降到世界卫生组织标准0.01 mg·L-1以下,其中以Fe(Ⅲ)/Al(Ⅲ)摩尔比为7:3的复合物吸附除砷能力最强.pH为5.0～9.0时各复合物对砷的吸附模式均符合Freundlich和Langmuir等温吸附方程.
