One-step formation of oligopeptide-like molecules from Glu and Asp in hydrothermal environments

Biopolymer accumulation in the absence of enzymes is an essential step for the chemical evolution of primitive life-like systems, and successful simulation experiments of prebiotic biopolymer formation have suggested that oligopeptides could have formed near submarine hydrothermal vent environments on primitive earth. However, the yield and length of oligopeptides -- typically limited to 6-mers -- seems to be inadequate. One reason is the rapid formation of diketopiperazines (DKPs) from dipeptides. In this study, using a hydrothermal microflow reactor, we show that the one-step synthesis of oligopeptide-like molecules of length up to 20-mers proceeds from Glu and Asp. Yields of up to 0.17-0.57% were obtained in an acidic solution within 183 s at 250-310 degrees C, as evaluated by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis and different types of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The present study indicates that Glu and Asp may have played important roles in the chemical evolution of oligopeptide-like molecules in hydrothermal vent environments on primitive earth.     

含碳酸盐水溶液中扑热息痛的光解研究

采用动力学方法研究了环境浓度范围内的扑热息痛在含碳酸盐溶液中的光解,比较了碳酸盐自由基和羟基自由基对扑热息痛的光解效果,探讨了pH值、硝酸根离子、腐殖质、氯化钠、钙镁离子等因素对扑热息痛光解的影响.利用GC/MS技术鉴定了扑热息痛的光解产物,并探讨了扑热息痛在碳酸根体系中可能的光解途径.结果表明,扑热息痛与碳酸盐自由基反应的二级反应速率常数为 k.=5.0×107L·(mol·s)-1,低于与羟基自由基反应的二级反应速率常数kb=8.1×109L·(tool·s)-1,但是由于天然水体中碳酸盐自由基的稳态浓度较高,所以碳酸盐自由基对扑热息痛光解的影响和羟基自由基大致相当.提高体系pH值,加入硝酸根离子、氯化钠或者钙镁离子都会加快扑热息痛的光解速率;而加入Suwannee河富里酸则会降低光解速率.

室温Fenton反应过程H2O2有效利用率的影响因素研究

Fenton反应是H2O2在Fe^2＋催化作用下产生氧自由基并氧化污染物的高效方法。但影响Fenton反应过程H2O2分解及其有效利用率的因素是很多的,其中[Fe^2＋]要求控制在3mmol／L以上。酚类体系H2O2的有效利用率不受H2O2浓度变化的影响,但受初始COD的影响,一般表现为随COD的增加,H2O2有效利用率迅速增加。当初始COD一定时,H2O2浓度在600mg／L和1800mg／L时,一元酚与二元酚体系的H2O2有效利用率均出现了两个峰值,前者的峰值分别为11．83gCOD／gH2O2和12．99gCOD／gH2O2,后者的峰值分别为9．01和11．95gCOD／gH2O2。而醇类体系H2O2的有效利用率受H2O2浓度的影响较大,但与初始COD的关系不明显。当H2O2浓度低于300mg／L时,乙醇比对照体系H2O2的分解率高1-3％,而有效利用率仅为0．6gCOD／gH2O2;随H2O2用量的继续增加,其有效利用率趋于0gCOD／gH2O2。而二元醇体系H2O2有效利用率与其浓度间呈“倒U”型规律,H2O2低于300mg／L时,其有效利用率仅为1．25gCOD／gH2O2;H2O2浓度在300mg／L～900mg／L之间时,其有效利用率可达8．96gCOD／gH2O2;其后随着H2O2的增加,有效利用率迅速下降到与乙醇体系相当。在混合体系中,醇羟基和酚羟基所占比例对H2O2有效利用率也有显著的影响,当乙醇比例小于60％时,H2O2有效利用率稳定在13．0gCOD／gH2O2;随乙醇比例的增加,其对H2O2的分解抑制效应表现出剂量依赖关系,H2O2有效利用率也逐渐下降到近于0gCOD／gH2O2,说明这部分H2O2并没有得以有效地分解用于氧化废水中的COD,这在工程实践中应引起高度的重视。     

Biodegradation of trace pharmaceutical substances in wastewater by a membrane bioreactor

The biodegradation of selected pharmaceutical micropollutants, including two pharmaceuticals with argued biodegradation, was studied by a lab-scale membrane bioreactor. The reaction kinetics and affecting factors were also investigated in this paper. Clofibric acid (CA) with contradictive biodegradation reported was degraded almost completely at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) after adaptation to microorganisms. The biodegradation of CA was disturbed at low pH operation, while the activity of microorganisms recovered again after pH adjustment to neutral condition. Ibuprofen (IBP) degraded under neutral and acidic conditions. Removals of IBP and CA were zero-order and first-order reactions under high and low initial concentrations, respectively. Carbamazepine and diclofenac were not degraded regardless of HRTs and pH.

Simultaneous oxidation of NO, SO2 and Hg0 from flue gas by pulsed corona discharge

A process capable of oxidizing NO, SO2 and Hg0 was proposed simultaneously, which utilized a high-voltage and short-duration positive pulsed corona discharge. By focusing on NO, SO2, and Hg0 oxidation efficiencies, the influences of pulse peak voltage, pulse frequency, initial concentration, electrode number, residence time and water vapor addition were investigated. The results indicate that NO, SO2 and Hg0 oxidation efficiencies depend primarily on the radicals (OH, HO2, O) and the active species (O3, H2O2), etc. produced by the pulsed corona discharge. The NO, SO2 and Hg0 oxidation efficiencies improved as increasing pulse peak voltage, pulse frequency, electrode number and residence time, while they are reduced with an increasing initial concentration. By adding water vapor, SO2 oxidation efficiency is improved remarkably, while NO oxidation efficiency is decreased slightly. In our experiments, the simultaneous NO, SO2, and Hg0 oxidation efficiencies reached to 40%, 98% and 55% with the initial concentrations 479 mg/m3, 1040 mg/m3, and 15.0 ug/m3, respectively.

通过动态吸附烟气脱硫实验,考察了烟气中不同SO2体积分数对ZL50脱硫脱硝活性炭脱硫行为的影响,并进行了动力学分析.随着烟气中SO2体积分数增大,脱硫率和ZL50脱硫脱硝活性炭的活性度下降;SO2吸附量和吸附速率增大.模拟结果表明,Bangham模型模拟效果最优,SO2的催化氧化反应对化学吸附有重要影响;Lagergren准一级吸附速率常数随SO2进口体积分数的增加而增大,表明SO2的催化氧化反应在吸附前期可能为速控步骤.推导和定义了Lagergren模型和Bangham模型的初始吸附速率;推导了文献上的Ho模型和Elovich模型的初始速率式。定义的Bangham初始吸附速率与初始吸附速率实验值吻合最好;建立的Bangham吸附反应动力学模型能较好地描述SO2动态吸附速率.结果表明,SO2的初始反应速率分级数为1或接近1,而O2和水蒸气的初始速率分级数分别为0.15～0.20和0.45～0.50之间的常数.
