热活化过硫酸盐氧化降解水溶液中的抗生素卡巴多司和奥喹多司

硫酸根自由基(SO■)高级氧化技术(SR-AOPs)是一种新型的原位化学氧化技术(ISCO),在水处理领域具有广阔的应用前景,可用于治理土壤和地下水中抗生素污染.本研究采用热活化过硫酸盐(PS)产生SO■,考察其对水溶液中抗生素卡巴多司(CBX)和奥喹多司(OQX)的降解效果,评估操作参数和水质成分对CBX降解的影响,并对CBX的降解产物进行鉴定.结果表明,与OQX相比,CBX更容易被热活化PS工艺氧化降解,这可能是因为CBX含有富电子的腙支链,而OQX含有惰性的酰胺支链.升高温度、增加PS浓度和降低溶液pH值均可显著促进CBX的降解.HCO~-_3的存在对CBX降解有促进作用,可能是由于生成的碳酸根自由基(CO■)参与了反应.Suwannee河富里酸(SRFA)具有双重影响,低浓度时促进CBX降解,而高浓度时呈现抑制作用.NO~-_3的存在对CBX的降解没有明显影响,而NO~-_2的存在可以显著抑制其降解.CBX在天然地表水中的降解效率低于在地下水中的效率,可能与不同水质中天然有机质的含量有关.产物鉴定表明,热活化PS氧化降解CBX生成了羟基化、脱氧和支链断裂产物,表明氧化反应主要改变了CBX分子中的腙支链和N—O结构.研究表明,热活化PS工艺可有效降解水溶液中的CBX和OQX,但在该技术实际应用时应充分评估天然水质成分的影响.     

A bio-inspired computing model as a new tool for modeling ecosystems: The avian scavengers as a case study

The models used for ecosystems modeling are generally based on differential equations. However, in recent years new computational models based on biological processes, or bioinspired models, have arisen, among which are P systems. These are inspired by the functions of cells and present important advantages with respect to traditional models, such as a high computational efficiency, modularity and their ability to work in parallel. They are simple, individual-based models that use biological parameters that can be obtained experimentally. In this work, we present the framework for a model based on P systems applied to the study of an ecosystem in which three avian scavengers (predators) interact with 10 wild and domestic ungulates (preys). The computation time for 100 repetitions, corresponding to 14 simulation years each, with an initial population composed of 385,422 individuals, was 30 min. Our results suggest that the model presented, based on P systems, correctly simulates the population dynamics in the period of time analyzed. We discuss the usefulness of this tool in simulating complex ecosystems dynamics to aid managers, conservationists and policy-makers in making appropriate decisions for the improvement of management and conservation programs.     

Enhanced ozonation of dichloroacetic acid in aqueous solution using nanometer ZnO powders

Nanometer zinc oxide (ZnO) powders were used as a catalyst to enhance the ozonation for the degradation of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) in aqueous solution. The batch experiments were carried out to investigate the e ects of key factors such as catalyst dosage, ozone dosage, solution pH and tert-butyl alcohol (t-BuOH) on the degradation e ciency of DCAA. Density functional theory (DFT) was adopted to explore the mechanism of generating hydroxyl radical (.OH) on the ZnO surface. The results showed that adsorption and ozonation processes were not e ective for DCAA removal, and the addition of ZnO catalyst improved the degradation e ciency of DCAA during ozonation, which caused an increase of 22.8% for DCAA decomposition compared to the case of ozonation alone after 25 min. Under the same experimental conditions, the DCAA decomposition was enhanced by increasing catalyst dosage from 100 to 500 mg/L and ozone dosage from 0.83 to 3.2 mg/L. The catalytic ozonation process is more pronounced than the ozonation process alone at pH 3.93, 6.88, and 10. With increasing the concentration of t-BuOH from 10 to 200 mg/L, the degradation of DCAA was significantly inhibited in the process of catalytic ozonation, indicating that ZnO catalytic ozonation followed .OH reaction mechanism. Based on the experimental results and DFT analysis, it is deduced that the generation of .OH on the ZnO surface is ascribed to the adsorption of molecule ozone followed by the interaction of adsorbed ozone with active sites of the catalyst surface. It is also concluded that ZnO may be an e ective catalyst for DCAA removal, which could promote the formation of .OH derived from the catalytic decomposition of ozone.     

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.     

Effect of illumination intensity and light application time on secondary organic aerosol formation from the photooxidation of α-pinene

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from hydroxyl radical (OH.) initiated photooxidation of α-pinene was investigated in a home-made smog chamber. The size distribution of SOA particles was measured using aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer.

Experimental results show that the concentration of SOA particles increased significantly with an increasing of illumination intensity, and the light...     

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.

Using polarized muons as ultrasensitive spin labels in free radical chemistry

In a chemical sense, the positive muon is a light proton. It is obtained at the ports of accelerators in beams with a spin polarization of 100%, which makes it a highly sensitive probe of matter. The muonium atom is a light hydrogen isotope, nine times lighter than H, with a muon as its nucleus. It reacts the same way as H, and by addition to double bonds it is implemented in free radicals in which the muon serves as a fully polarized spin label. It is reviewed here how the muon can be used to obtain information about muonium and radical reaction rates, radical structure, dynamics, and local environments. It can even tell us what a fragrance molecule does in a shampoo.     

MnO2/FeOOH复合材料对水中U(Ⅵ)的去除及机理试验研究

采用化学沉积法制备了二氧化锰/羟基氧化铁(MnO2/FeOOH)复合材料,并将其用于吸附去除水中的放射性重金属铀。通过静态吸附试验,考察了Fe/Mn物质的量比、pH值、吸附时间和干扰离子等因素对MnO2/FeOOH吸附U(Ⅵ)效果的影响,利用扫描电镜-能谱分析(SEM-EDS)、X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、红外光谱(FT-IR)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对材料结构和形貌进行表征,并分析其吸附机理。结果表明,在投加量为150 mg/L、温度为30℃、U(Ⅵ)初始质量浓度为10 mg/L、pH值为5、Fe/Mn物质的量比为1/2及吸附时间为120 min的条件下,MnO₂/FeOOH对U(Ⅵ)的去除率最大可达97.7%,且pH值对铀去除效果的影响最为明显。MnO₂/FeOOH对U(Ⅵ)吸附动力学符合准二级动力学模型,吸附等温线均能符合Langmuir和Freundlich模型,且最大吸附容量达260.34 mg/g。干扰离子试验表明,SO₄^2-、CO₃^2-和Fe³⁺对MnO₂/FeOOH吸附U (VI)几乎没有影响,而Ca²⁺和Cu²⁺具有明显的抑制作用,且抑制随浓度的增大而增强。FTIR和XPS分析表明MnO2/FeOOH对U(Ⅵ)的主要作用机制为表面羟基、Mn-O与铀的配位作用。因此,MnO2/FeOOH可作为一种潜在的铀吸附材料。
