甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯对中华新米虾的毒性效应

以中华新米虾(Neocaridina denticulata sinensis)为受试生物,采用半静态生物测定方法,研究了TEX污染物对中华新米虾的单一急性毒性和联合毒性效应.在单一毒性试验中,甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯对中华新米虾的96h LC50分别为13.8,10.4,11.3mg/L,毒性大小顺序为乙苯>二甲苯>甲苯.基于等毒性溶液法(ETS)分析了TEX二元混合物的联合毒性,结果表明,甲苯-乙苯、乙苯-二甲苯与甲苯-二甲苯按不同毒性单位比(4:1,3:2,2:3,1:4)组成的二元混合物对中华新米虾的联合毒性作用均表现为相加作用.基于毒性单位法(TU)和混合毒性指数法(MTI)研究了甲苯-乙苯-二甲苯按浓度比1:1:1和毒性单位比1:1:1所组成的三元混合物对中华新米虾的联合毒性,96h LC50分别为11.6,10.7mg/L,毒性大小与3种苯系物单独作用相当.当暴露时间为48h时,联合毒性表现为部分相加作用,而暴露时间为96h时,联合毒性作用为协同作用,即随着暴露时间的增加,甲苯-乙苯-二甲苯组成的三元混合物的联合毒性从部分相加作用转变为协同作用,但是协同作用均不明显,非常接近于相加作用.因此,甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯对中华新米虾的联合毒性作用主要表现为相加作用.     

地下水浅埋区某加油站特征污染物空间分布简

加油站渗漏污染地下水已经是一个世界性的问题。由于浅埋区加油站储罐与地下水密切接触,更加剧储罐的腐蚀。为揭示加油站渗漏的典型污染物石油烃（TPH）、苯系物（BTEX）、萘和甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）在该水文地质条件下的迁移变化,在浅埋区某加油站开展了平、枯、丰水期的地下水监测工作。在水平分布上,TPH、BTEX、萘基本相似,均在加油岛附近形成高浓度区,而MTBE则更易随地下水流动而迁移,呈现出不同的污染晕。在垂直分布上,地下水的水位变动是污染物浓度分布的主要影响因素。     

Adsorption of toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene isomers on multi-walled carbon nanotubes oxidized by different concentration of NaOCl

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated and oxidized by different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solutions. The untreated MWCNTs and modified MWCNTs were employed as adsorbents to study their characterizations and adsorption performance of toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene isomers (TEX) in an aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of MWCNTs were greatly affected after oxidation, which influences TEX adsorption capacity. The 3% NaOCl-oxidized MWCNTs shows the greatest enhancement in TEX adsorption, followed by the 30% NaOCl. More interestingly, the 15% NaOCl-oxidized MWCNTs has lower adsorption capacities than untreated MWCNTs. The adsorption mechanism of TEX on treated MWCNTs is attributed to the combined action of hydrophobic interaction, π-π bonding interaction between the aromatic ring of TEX and the oxygen-containing functional groups of MWCNTs and electrostatic interaction. 3% NaOCl solution could not only introduce much oxygen-containing functional groups on MWCNTs, but also lead to less damage for the pore structure. This suggests that the CNTs-3% NaOCl is efficient adsorbent for TEX and that they may possess good potential for TEX removal in wastewater treatment.     

Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds in a University Building

A total of 34 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured in the indoor of laboratories, offices and classrooms of the Chemical Engineering Department of Hacettepe University in Ankara in 2 week-day passive sampling campaigns. The average concentrations ranged from 0.77 to 265 μg m^?3 at the different indoor sites, with the most abundant VOC found to be toluene (119.6 μg m^?3), followed by styrene (21.24 μg m^?3), 2-ethyltoluene (17.11 μg m^?3), n-hexane (10.21 μg m^?3) and benzene (9.42 μg m^?3). According to the factor analysis, the evaporation of solvents used in the laboratories was found to be the dominant source.     

管式生物过滤器去除乙苯废气

生物过滤由于其良好的成本效益和环境友好性已经成为控制挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)含量和气味气体排放的常规技术。营养物质的均匀分布、生物膜和介质床内的气体流是成就一个性能优良的生物过滤器至关重要的因素。而由本实验室开发的管式生物过滤器(TBFs)已被证明具备此优势。本实验的管式生物过滤器以聚氨酯海绵作为填料,研究在不同有机负荷、气体停留时间(EBCT)、进气量和表面活性剂等条件下乙苯废气的去除效率(RE)。实验同时记录了管式生物过滤器启动阶段的表现。初期使附着在填料上的微生物暴露在浓度为40 mg/m3的乙苯废气中40 d,此时的气体停留时间为15 s,使微生物慢慢适应并逐步降解乙苯废气;然后连续地控制管式生物过滤器的入口乙苯浓度为40、80、120和160 mg/m3,以使有机负荷逐步升高。结果表明,乙苯去除效率随着有机负荷的增大而逐步减小。当气体停留时间从15 s增加到30 s和60 s,而有机负荷控制在38.60 g/(m3·h)时,乙苯废气去除效率略微增加。此外,随着进气量的增大乙苯废气的最大平均去除效率有所下降而此时的降解容量增大,这个过程中乙苯进气浓度保持不变。结果还表明,在营养液中加入聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚这种表面活性剂可以提高乙苯废气的去除效率。

通过检测降解乙苯生物滴滤塔(BTF)长期稳定运行过程中生物量积累、塔内压降改变、生物膜显微结构特征、微生物种群分布及优势菌株分子测序,探讨BTF稳定运行期间生物膜相结构、特征及菌群多样性协作作用的规律.结果表明,生物滴滤塔运行95 d期间的降解性能稳定,降解效率保持在90%以上,最大去除负荷为62.4 g·m~(-3)·h~(-1);BTF稳定运行期间生物膜形态、颜色和厚度沿着BTF塔内废气的流向呈现不均匀分布和梯度改变的特征.生物量和生物膜的致密度沿气流方向逐步递减;塔内压降随着反应时间延长逐渐增加,但未出现堵塞现象;生物膜种群营养结构复杂,食物链长且相互交叉,高端营养级微生物种群所占比例较高;采用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)和分子测序技术研究降解乙苯生物滴滤塔填料表面菌群的分布特征,结果表明,在BTF不同塔层上菌群分布稍有差异,表现出明显的空间多样性,但是整个BTF生物膜具有一定的稳定性,主要的优势菌群为变形杆菌,其中优势菌包括3种伽马变形杆菌和4种贝塔变形杆菌.     

烟雾箱与数值模拟研究苯和乙苯的臭氧生成潜势

结合光化学烟雾箱实验与数值模拟研究了苯和乙苯在NO x存在条件下的光氧化臭氧生成潜势.重复实验表明,在乙苯-NO x反应体系中,反应物初始浓度、温度、湿度和光照强度接近的条件下,整个反应过程中臭氧的最大偏差仅为4%,证明了烟雾箱的可重复性较高.在烟雾箱实验的基础上,使用MCM(master chemical mechanism)模拟了苯和乙苯的光氧化O3生成,并将其结果与实验数据进行了比对分析.干燥(≤5%)时MCM对苯和乙苯的模拟结果与实验结果较接近,如在苯-NO x反应体系中,MCM模拟的O3峰值比实验值偏大20%;在湿度为5%~70%时,MCM模拟的乙苯光氧化O3峰值与实验值偏高约(10%~25%).用MCM模拟了太阳光照条件下苯和乙苯的臭氧生成等值线,得到在它们浓度为(10~50)×10-9,NO x在(10~100)×10-9时,苯和乙苯的6 h臭氧贡献值分别为(3.1~33)×10-9和(2.6~122)×10-9,臭氧峰值范围分别是(3.5~54)×10-9和(3.8~164)×10-9.此外,模拟得到苯和乙苯的最大增量反应活性(maximum incremental reactivity,MIR)值分别为0.25/C和0.97/C(每单位碳).该结果与Carter通过SAPRC机制得到的MIR值趋势一致.模拟得到苯和乙苯的最大臭氧反应活性(maximum ozone reactivity,MOR)分别为0.73/C和1.03/C.苯的MOR值远高于Carter使用SAPRC得到的结果,说明根据Carter得到的苯MOR会低估苯的O3潜势.     

二价铁催化过碳酸钠处理水中乙苯

采用Fe(II)催化过碳酸钠(SPC)体系处理水溶液中的乙苯(EB),考察c(SPC)、c(Fe(II))、阴离子浓度、天然有机物(NOM)以及溶液初始pH值对EB降解效果的影响,并确定EB降解过程中起主导作用的自由基.结果表明,对于浓度为1mmol/L的EB溶液,c(SPC)、c(Fe(II))均为12mmol/L时,20min内EB可被完全去除; Cl^-、HCO₃^-、NOM的存在均会抑制EB降解,SO₄^2-和NO₃^-对EB降解无影响;溶液初始pH值(pH3.00~11.00) 越高,EB去除率越低,但当pH=9时,降解效果仍很显著,表明该体系能够在较宽pH值范围内高效降解水溶液中EB;自由基探针试验证实体系中存在^·OH和O₂^·-,自由基清扫试验表明^·OH对EB降解起主导作用.     

紫外线去除水中微量乙苯的研究

Bio-removal of mixture of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes/total petroleum hydrocarbons/trichloroethylene from contaminated water

Four pure cultures were isolated from soil samples potentially contaminated with gasoline compounds either at a construction site near a gas station in Fai Chi Kei, Macau SAR or in the northern parts of China (Beijing, and Hebei and Shandong). The e ects of di erent concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and three isomers (ortho-, meta-, and para-) of xylene (BTEX), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and trichloroethylene (TCE), when they were present in mixtures, on the bio-removal e ciencies of microbial isolates were investigated, together with their interactions during the bio-removal process. When the isolates were tested for the BTEX (50–350 mg/L)/TPH (2000 mg/L) mixture, BTEoX in BTEoX/TPH mixture was shown with higher bio-removal e ciencies, while BTEmX in BTEmX/TPH mixture was shown with the lowest, regardless of isolates. The TPH in BTEmX/TPH mixture, on the other hand, were generally shown with higher bio-removal e ciencies compared to when TPH mixed with BTEoX and BTEpX. When these BTEX mixtures (at 350 mg/L) were present with TCE (5–50 mg/L), the stimulatory e ect of TCE toward BTEoX bio-removal was observed for BTEoX/TCE mixture, while the inhibitory e ect of TCE toward BTEmX for BTEmX/TCE mixture. The bio-removal e ciency for TPH was shown lower in TPH (2000 mg/L)/TCE (5–50 mg/L) mixtures compared to TPH present alone, implying the inhibitory e ect of TCE toward TPH bio-removal. For the mixture of BTEX (417 mg/L), TPH (2000 mg/L) along with TCE (5– 50 mg/L), TCE was shown co-metabolically removed more e ciently at 15 mg/L, probably utilizing BTEX and/or TPH as primary substrates.
