胡敏酸衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱研究

胡敏酸是土壤有机质的重要组成部分。胡敏酸的物化结构和特性直接影响其环境地球化学行为,因此,也是胡敏酸地球化学研究的重要内容。傅里叶变换-红外光谱是胡敏酸物化结构和性质研究的强大工具,以往的研究通常采用压片-透射吸收法来研究分析胡敏酸的有机官能团信息。本工作采用透射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱和衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱两种分析方法对比研究了黄壤和石灰土中胡敏酸的有机官能团信息。结果表明,两种分析方法给出完全一致的研究结果,即:黄壤胡敏酸脂肪碳含量较高,芳香结构含量较低;石灰土胡敏酸分子的脂肪碳含量较低,芳香结构和含氧官能团含量较高。比较而言,衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱操作简便,无需对待测胡敏酸样品进行预处理,可以广泛地应用于胡敏酸红外光谱的分析。     

环胶州湾污水处理厂排放口溶解有机氮生物可利用潜力研究

溶解有机氮(DON)是陆源输入近海总溶解氮(TDN)的重要组成部分,其生物可利用性对探讨近海氮污染和富营养化形成机制具有重要意义.本研究根据2012年7月、2012年11月、2013年3月和2013年5月在胶州湾海域4个污水处理厂进行的4次调查,分析了直排胶州湾污水处理厂水体中总溶解氮(TDN)及其中总溶解氨基酸(TDAA)的含量和季节分布特征,并以溶解有机碳n(DOC)/溶解有机氮n(DON)和氨基酸的构成和丰度为指标,评价了直排胶州湾各污水处理厂排放口DON的生物可利用性.结果表明,TDN的变化范围为413.10~3 580.65μmol·L~(-1),并基本呈现3月和11月高,5月和7月低的变化趋势,其中,DON在TDN中所占摩尔分数变化范围为2.14%~88.75%.各污水处理厂排放口不同季节DOC/DON值较低,介于0.2~26.2 mol·mol~(-1)之间,平均值为(5.05±6.39)mol·mol~(-1),而TDAA中所含碳在DOC中的摩尔分数即TDAA/DOC值较高,分布在0.33%~3.02%之间,平均值为1.54%±0.78%,基于TDAA/DOC估算排入胶州湾各污水处理厂排放口污水中具有生物可利用溶解有机质所占摩尔分数为0.44%~46.97%.上述结果表明,直排胶州湾污水处理厂排放口DON具有较高的生物可利用性,对该海域富营养化贡献不容忽视.     

Organic chloramines in chlorine-based disinfected watersystems: A critical review

This paper is a critical review of current knowledge of organic chloramines in water systems,including their formation, stability, toxicity, analyticalmethods for detection, and their impact on drinking water treatment and quality. The term organic chloramines may refer to any halogenated organic compounds measured as part of combined chlorine (the difference between themeasured free and total chlorine concentrations), andmay include N-chloramines, N-chloramino acids, N-chloraldimines and N-chloramides. Organic chloramines can form when dissolved organic nitrogen or dissolved organic carbon react with either free chlorine or inorganic chloramines. They are potentially harmful to humans and may exist as an intermediate for other disinfection by-products. However, little information is available on the formation or occurrence of organic chloramines in water due to a number of challenges. One of the biggest challenges for the identification and quantification of organic chloramines in water systems is the lack of appropriate analytical methods. In addition, many of the organic chloramines that formduring disinfection are unstable,which results in difficulties in sampling and detection. To date research has focussed on the study of organic monochloramines. However, given that breakpoint chlorination is commonly undertaken in water treatment systems, the formation of organic dichloramines should also be considered. Organic chloramines can be formed frommany different precursors and pathways. Therefore, studying the occurrence of their precursors in water systems would enable better prediction and management of their formation.     

泰山夏季PM2.5中二元羧酸类SOA的分子组成及来源

为研究泰山夏季大气PM_(2.5)中二元羧酸类化合物的浓度水平、分子组成及来源,于2014年7~8月在泰山山顶进行PM_(2.5)样品采集,分析其二元羧酸类化合物、生物源二次有机气溶胶的示踪物(异戊二烯、α-/β-蒎烯及β-石竹烯的氧化产物)、水溶性有机碳(WSOC)及无机离子.结果表明,泰山夏季PM_(2.5)中二元羧酸的总浓度为(376±189)ng·m-3,其中草酸(C2)的浓度最高,其次是丙二酸(C3)、丁二酸(C4)和壬二酸(C9).泰山地区二元羧酸总浓度高于海洋地区,但低于城市和其他高山地区,表明受人为污染影响较小.C2/C4、C3/C4和F/M比值表明二元羧酸主要来自光化学氧化,且氧化程度较深.C9占二元羧酸的相对含量、C9/C6和C9/Ph比值均高于城市、海洋与高山地区,表明泰山地区SOA主要受生物源的影响,而非人为源.通过与模式估算值的对比及相关性分析,进一步表明泰山夏季二元羧酸类SOA主要受当地生物源光化学氧化的影响.     

Effects of halobenzoquinone and haloacetic acid water disinfection byproducts on human neural stem cells

Human neural stem cells(h NSCs) are a useful tool to assess the developmental effects of various environmental contaminants; however, the application of h NSCs to evaluate water disinfection byproducts(DBPs) is scarce. Comprehensive toxicological results are essential to the prioritization of DBPs for further testing and regulation. Therefore, this study examines the effects of DBPs on the proliferation and differentiation of h NSCs. Prior to DBP treatment, characteristic protein markers of h NSCs from passages 3 to 6 were carefully examined and it was determined that h NSCs passaged 3 or 4 times maintained stem cell characteristics and can be used for DBP analysis. Two regulated DBPs, monobromoacetic acid(BAA) and monochloroacetic acid(CAA), and two emerging DBPs, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone(2,6-DBBQ) and 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone(2,6-DCBQ), were chosen for h NSC treatment. Both 2,6-DBBQ and 2,6-DCBQ induced cell cycle arrest at S-phase at concentrations up to 1 μmol/L. Comparatively, BAA and CAA at 0.5 μmol/L affected neural differentiation. These results suggest DBP-dependent effects on h NSC proliferation and differentiation. The DBP-induced cell cycle arrest and inhibition of normal h NSC differentiation demonstrate the need to assess the developmental neurotoxicity of DBPs.     

Case study approach to modeling historical disinfection by-product exposure in Iowa drinking waters

In the 1980 s, a case–control epidemiologic study was conducted in Iowa(USA) to analyze the association between exposure to disinfection by-products(DBPs) and bladder cancer risk. Trihalomethanes(THMs), the most commonly measured and dominant class of DBPs in drinking water, served as a primary metric and surrogate for the full DBP mixture.Average THM exposure was calculated, based on rough estimates of past levels in Iowa. To reduce misclassification, a follow-up study was undertaken to improve estimates of past THM levels and to re-evaluate their association with cancer risk. In addition, the risk associated with haloacetic acids, another class of DBPs, was examined. In the original analysis, surface water treatment plants were assigned one of two possible THM levels depending on the point of chlorination. The re-assessment considered each utility treating surface or groundwater on a case-by-case basis. Multiple treatment/disinfection scenarios and water quality parameters were considered with actual DBP measurements to develop estimates of past levels. The highest annual average THM level in the re-analysis was156 μg/L compared to 74 μg/L for the original analysis. This allowed the analysis of subjects exposed at higher levels( 96 μg/L). The re-analysis established a new approach, based on case studies and an understanding of the water quality and operational parameters that impact DBP formation, for determining historical exposure.     

低分子有机酸对三峡库区沉积物吸附Pb2+影响研究

以长江三峡库区万州段消落带区的沉积物为研究对象,通过等温吸附平衡实验研究不同浓度的柠檬酸、草酸对沉积物吸附Pb2+的影响.实验结果表明:消落带沉积物对Pb2+的吸附量随着Pb2+离子平衡浓度的增加而增大,Pb2+平衡浓度在0.08～80 mg/L时,其最大吸附量为8 762.00 mg/Kg.不同浓度的柠檬酸、草酸会在不同程度上抑制沉积物对Pb2+吸附,2 mmol/L柠檬酸对沉积物吸附Pb2+的能力是浓度为4 mmol/L时的1.12倍,草酸条件下为1.02倍.即高浓度的低分子有机酸抑制消落带沉积物对Pb2+的吸附.     

低分子有机酸对硫杆菌活性的抑制作用及对土壤重金属脱除的影响

施用有机肥能够降低污染土壤重金属溶解性和生物可利用性,但在淹水厌氧等环境中,有机肥会分解产生大量低分子有机酸,会抑制嗜酸性硫杆菌的生物活性.通过摇瓶实验研究了低分子有机酸对硫杆菌的毒害抑制效果和不同硫杆菌对各类有机酸的耐受水平.结果表明,纯体系培养下,A.ferrooxidans和A.thiooxidans活性抑制率在72 h内达到90%以上,所需甲、乙、丙、丁酸最低浓度分别为41.2、78.3、43.2、123.4 mg·L~(-1)和81.9、230.4、170.1、123.4 mg·L~(-1).其中,甲酸对A.ferrooxidans和A.thiooxidans的抑制作用最显著,A.thiooxidans相比A.ferrooxidans对4种有机酸具有更高的耐受性.新鲜重金属污染土壤在生物酸化初期(0 h)加入4种有机酸对后续土壤酸化过程影响较小,但12 h后加入有机酸却能使土壤生物酸化基本停止,导致土壤重金属脱除率大幅度下降.这为有机肥改良重金属污染土壤的生物修复可行性提供一定理论依据.     

典型南方水源氨基酸浓度变化与去除

氨基酸是天然水体中含氮有机物的重要组成部分,为明晰氨基酸在水库原水中的浓度变化及去除情况,于2015年5~10月利用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)对我国南方某市3个主要水库原水中20种常见氨基酸浓度进行连续监测,分析该市水库原水中氨基酸的空间分布与变化趋势,同时研究了不同处理工艺对氨基酸的去除情况.结果表明,不同水库原水中氨基酸组成有所差异,但主要氨基酸为天冬氨酸、半胱氨酸、亮氨酸.水库C原水中各氨基酸含量没有明显季节性变化趋势,但夏季含量相对较低,秋季相对较高.此外,常规工艺与BAC-UF工艺对氨基酸的主要去除单元为混凝沉淀单元,O_3-BAC工艺对氨基酸的主要去除单元为主臭氧.常规工艺、BAC-UF工艺、O_3-BAC工艺对氨基酸总量的总去除率分别为94.42%、66.04%、49.75%.     

低分子量有机酸对红壤中硫丹释放动力学的影响

采用自行设计的动力学试验装置及平衡振荡试验,系统研究了3种低分子量有机酸(草酸、酒石酸和柠檬酸)和水对红壤中α-硫丹(-αendosulfan,αES)的动力学释放行为.结果表明,10 mmol/L的酒石酸和柠檬酸可使αES的释放百分率相对于水和草酸提高7~18个百分点,其中尤以酒石酸的效果最为明显,但水和草酸对αES的释放能力却不存在显著差异(p>0.05),αES的释放存在明显的快速和慢速释放期,特别在前200 mL释放较快;水和草酸对αES的释放动力学数据可由双常数方程和抛物线扩散方程较好描述,并不是代表简单表面扩散的表观一级动力学方程,而酒石酸和柠檬酸则更倾向于Elovich方程(R2>0.99,p<0.000 1),说明对这类立体结构较复杂的有机氯农药来说,影响其在水相中释放的主导因素已不是简单的颗粒表面扩散机制,还可能涉及到土壤颗粒内部的向外扩散机制、颗粒表面的活化与去活化作用、土壤颗粒表面的溶解及对包被在土壤矿物表面的固有有机质结构干扰造成的表面点位能量分布的不均匀等多种机制,使释放动力学的机制更进一步复杂化.
