微生物隔膜在生物阴极MFC中的应用及效能评价

本文构建了2.0L具有微生物隔膜的模块化生物阴极微生物燃料电池（MFC）,以实际生活污水为底物,在连续流运行模式中,系统考察了微生物隔膜（MS）在MFC长期运行过程中的功能特征.结果表明：发育成熟的微生物隔膜可以稳定维持MFC阴阳极室间的溶解氧（DO）浓度梯度,使阳极室平均DO浓度低于0.5mg/L,同时使完全混合的阴极室COD浓度低于50mg/L,避免了电解液性质对于电极反应的抑制.微生物隔膜可以实现离子的跨隔膜迁移,进而平衡阴阳极室间的pH值;阴阳极室间存在的跨隔膜离子梯度意味着微生物隔膜完全分隔了两极室内不同的微生物代谢类型,阴极快速的好氧代谢可能导致了阴极室离子强度的降低.微生物隔膜对于MFC中COD和DO梯度的保持以及pH值的平衡起到了决定性作用,这将严格保证MFC的正常运行.同时,本文论述了在面向规模化应用的MFC中装配微生物隔膜的巨大技术与经济优势,综合评价了微生物隔膜的效能特征,为进一步推广面向实际废水处理的微生物电化学设备提供了技术支撑.

Enhancing Diatom Growth by Using Zeolites to Change Seawater Composition (4 pp)

- Aims and Scope. The purpose of this study was to test whether two zeolites produced synthetically (products of zeolitic nature, PZN) could influence either the yield of a diatom culture or the chemical changes in the cultures. For this purpose, Phaeodactylum tricornutum was used as test organism in a culture medium of natural seawater enriched with N and P having negligible amounts of ammonia. Methods The PZN ZEBEN-06 and ZESTEC-56 were used in parallel experiments. The composition of trace metals and organic compounds with chelate activity in the culture media, were determined by anodic or cathodic stripping voltammetry. The impact of leaching silicon on the algal yield was evaluated by comparing the growth in the presence or absence of PZN, in seawater enriched or not-enriched with silicon. Results and Conclusions Both PZN significantly promoted the algal yield even in the absence of added silicon, a limiting nutrient for diatom growth. The PZN acted as a silicon buffer while providing a source of silicon required for growth. In addition, PZN released into the seawater small but significant amounts of the limiting micro-nutrient manganese (its concentration doubled during the experiments), while simultaneously removing relatively high quantities of zinc from the seawater. The presence of PZN inhibited the releasing of chelated compounds. These changes (sorption/desorption) caused by the PZN in the concentrations in the solutions used as culture media of P. tricornutum were probably responsible for the differences in both the diatom and exudation observed in the tested cultures.     

Triadimefon Causes Branchial Arch Malformations in Xenopus laevis Embryos (5 pp)

- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1065/espr2006.01.014 Background, Aims and Scope Triazole-derivatives are potent antifungal agents used as systemic agricultural fungicides and against fungal diseases in humans and domestic animals. They act by inhibiting the cytochrome P-450 conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, thus resulting in faulty fungal cell wall synthesis. Some data have been published about the teratogenic activity of triazoles on rodent embryos: Hypoplasias, abnormal shape, agenesis of the branchial arches, for example, were reported as typical induced malformations. Unfortunately, no data are available on the embryotoxicity of these compounds in amphibians, despite the increasing concern among the scientific community about the phenomenon of global amphibian population declines. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the embryo-lethal and teratogenic potentials of Triadimefon (FON), a triazolederivative widely used as an antimycotic in agriculture, by the test FETAX (Frog Embryos Teratogenic Assay, Xenopus) with particular attention being paid to the analysis of branchial arch malformations. Methods Xenopus laevis embryos were exposed continuously from stage 9 to increasing concentrations of FON and analyzed at stage 47 for mortality and teratogenicity (group I) to determine the median lethal (LC50) and teratogenic (TC50) concentrations. Another two pools of larvae were exposed to FON for a 2 hour period at early gastrula (Group II) or neurula (Group III) stages to verify which period of development is the most sensitive to FON. The malformations observed were further investigated by histological section and cartilage staining with Alcian blue. Results and Discussion The assay has estimated LC50 and TC50 values of 63.8 μM and 2.73 μM, respectively; the resulting TI (Teratogenic Index = LC50/TC50) value of 23.4 has underlined the very high teratogenic risk associated with this compound. Neurulation was more sensitive to FON exposure than gastrulation, since the TC50 estimated values for group III (neurula exposed) specimens was 7.6 times lower than those of group II (gastrula exposed). Interestingly, for each group analyzed, 100% of malformed embryos showed alterations at branchial arch derived cartilages: Anterior cartilages were reduced, missing, fused or incorrectly positioned while gill cartilages were altered only in the most severely affected specimens. In some cases these malformations were associated with hyperpigmentation. Our results support the hypothesis that FON can interfere with Neural Crest Cell (NCC) migration, since craniofacial components and melanophores are derived from neural crest material. Conclusion In conclusion, our data show Triadimefon to be a potent teratogen able to induce specific craniofacial malformation in Xenopus laevis embryos, probably interfering with the NCC migration into the branchial mesenchyme. These results are also interesting for ecotoxicological reasons as FON, as well as other pesticides, are likely to be present in water systems near agricultural or urban areas which may serve as habitats for developing amphibians and fishes. Recommendation and Outlook Our results are in agreement with the data obtained on in vitro cultured rat embryos suggesting that the FON mechanism of action involves strongly conserved molecules. The choice of Xenopus laevis as the model organism allows us to extend the toxicological and teratological observations to a molecular level, in order to search for novel genes regulated by FON exposure.

红外掩日遥感监测炼油厂非甲烷烷烃排放通量

采用红外掩日通量遥感监测(SOF)技术分别在2014年5月~2015年12月和2021年10月监测了我国7座大型炼油厂(其中6座原油年加工量均超过1000万t)非甲烷烷烃排放通量(kg/h)及分布.每座炼油厂监测3~8d,测量18~73次,总计获得328个排放通量测量数据,根据国内炼油厂VOCs排放烟羽中非甲烷烷烃质量分数估算了VOCs排放量,结合监测期间实际原油加工量计算了非甲烷烷烃和VOCs排放系数.结果显示:7座炼油厂2014~2015年的非甲烷烷烃排放系数测定值为0.016%~0.11%,平均为0.081%;VOCs排放系数估算为0.020%~0.14%,平均为0.10%.无组织排放约占炼油厂非甲烷烷烃排放总量的70%以上,其中轻油贮罐排放占比过半.国内7座炼油厂2014~2015年非甲烷烷烃排放系数的最好水平与美国南加州6座炼油厂同期SOF监测的最好水平相当,但非甲烷烷烃排放系数的平均水平约为其平均水平的3.9倍,国内炼油厂的VOCs排放控制水平更加参差不齐.国内1座千万吨级炼油厂2021年监测的非甲烷烷烃排放通量和排放系数分别较2015年削减72.4%和74.2%.SOF可为石化VOCs无组织排放监测、量化和排放清单修订提供最佳实用技术,本研究结果提供了国内石化行业VOCs综合整治初期典型炼油厂非甲烷烷烃和VOCs的基线排放实测数据,以及1座千万t级炼油厂6a后治理攻坚效果.
