Model reactor for photocatalytic degradation of persistent chemicals in ponds and waste water

A laboratory scale flow-through model reactor for the degradation of persistent chemicals using titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as photocatalyst immobilized on glass beads is presented. In the test system with a volume of 18 L contaminated water is pumped to the upper part of the floating reactor and flows over the coated beads which are exposed to UV-radiation. The degradation of two dyes of different persistance was investigated. Primary degradation of methylene blue did not fit a first order kinetic due to coincident adsorption onto the photocatalyst and direct photolysis, resulting in a half-life of 6 h. A filtrate of a green algae suspension accelerated the colour removal. In contrast, reactive red 2 was degraded only by photocatalysis; neither adsorption nor direct photolysis led to a colour removal. The course of primary degradation followed a first order kinetic with a half-life of 18 h and a rate constant of 0.04 h⁻¹. Analysis of the degradation products indicated mineralization by detection of NO₂⁻ and NO₃⁻, accompanied by a decrease of pH and an increase of conductivity. A successful adaptation of the model reactor (scale 1:10) to dimensions required for surface waters and waste water treatment plants would be a costefficient and environmentally sustainable application of photocatalysis for the treatment of industrially polluted water and could be of relevance for third world contries, particularly those favoured by high solar radiation.

氰化尾渣制备微电解填料及降解甲基橙研究

以氰化尾渣为原料,采用煤基直接还原工艺制备铁碳微电解填料,并将填料用于处理甲基橙等模拟废水.研究了焙烧温度、焙烧时间、煤用量等制备条件对填料降解甲基橙的影响.结果表明,在焙烧温度为1250℃,焙烧时间为60min,煤用量为30%的条件下制备的微电解填料对甲基橙废水的脱色效果最好.提高填料用量和降低溶液初始pH值有利于去除甲基橙.用于处理400mL浓度为100mg/L的甲基橙溶液,在填料用量为2g,溶液初始pH值在3~6的范围内,当降解时间为30min时,甲基橙脱色率均接近100%.XRD分析表明,最佳条件下制备的填料中主要结晶物相为零价铁.SEM显示填料中的零价铁颗粒粒度均在50μm以下,零价铁与残碳构成微电解填料.

人粪便好氧堆肥过程中典型抗生素的消减特性

以人粪便和锯末为试验材料,进行3种不同温度(55℃、35℃和无温控)控制条件下的好氧堆肥试验,对比温度对堆肥过程中4种人们大量应用的抗生素(四环素、金霉素、磺胺嘧啶和环丙沙星)消减特性的影响.同时分别对抗生素在水环境、锯末载体和人粪便加锯末堆肥中的降解进行针对性试验,分析人粪便好氧堆肥中影响抗生素降解的主要因素或作用,并对其贡献进行了评价.结果表明,4种抗生素在高温堆肥中的去除效果最好,其去除率都在90%以上.相比磺胺嘧啶和环丙沙星,金霉素和四环素的降解对堆肥温度依赖更强.四环素和金霉素在堆肥中的去除主要为水解作用导致的去除,而磺胺嘧啶和环丙沙星的去除则主要归因于锯末有机质对其吸附的影响.与其它3种抗生素不同,微生物作用对堆肥中环丙沙星降解的影响是重要的,贡献率接近20%.     

PFOS前体物质(PreFOSs)降解菌的分离鉴定及其降解特性

从氟化工厂附近土壤中分离出1株能以全氟辛烷磺酸前体物质(Pre FOSs)为唯一碳源和能源生长的降解菌PF1,经形态观察及16S r DNA基因序列分析,初步鉴定该菌为生丝微菌属(Hyphomicrobium sp.).在温度为30℃、p H为7.0~7.2条件下,菌株PF1对全氟辛基磺酰胺(PFOSA)和N-乙基全氟辛基磺酰胺(N-Et FOSA)48 h降解率分别为14.6%和8.2%,对PFOS无降解能力.对降解产物进行检测和分析,结果表明PFOSA的降解产物为PFOS;N-Et FOSA能被降解生成PFOSA和PFOS,同时也产生少量的全氟辛基磺酰胺乙酸(FOSAA).由此推断Pre FOSs降解途径,在菌株PF1的作用下,PFOSA脱去氨基直接转化成PFOS.NEt FOSA主要有2种降解途径:(1)N-Et FOSA脱乙基产生PFOSA,PFOSA再进一步脱氨基生成PFOS,此为主要途径;(2)NEt FOSA中的N-乙基被氧化成乙酸基生成FOSAA,FOSAA进一步脱去乙酸基生成PFOSA,并最终脱氨基生成PFOS.     

林可霉素菌渣堆肥微生物群落多样性分析

本试验以林可霉素菌渣-猪粪为原料、污泥-猪粪堆肥作对照,研究了林可霉素菌渣堆肥过程中残留林可霉素的降解情况,并基于Illumina Mi Seq高通量测序分析了林可霉素菌渣堆肥过程中微生物菌群的变化.结果表明:通过堆肥处理可以大幅度降解林可霉素菌渣中残留的林可霉素,经过33 d的堆肥处理后,林可霉素的残留量从最初的1 800 mg·kg-1降到483mg·kg-1,降解率高达73%.同时高通量测序结果表明,由于高含量的林可霉素残留,在堆肥初期和高温期林可霉素菌渣堆肥中细菌群落的分布丰度和多样性指数均低于污泥-猪粪堆肥,但真菌群落丰度和多样性均高于污泥-猪粪堆肥.林可霉素菌渣堆肥中细菌主要以Paucisalibacillus、Cerasibacillus、Bacillus、Virgibacillus、Ureibacillus、Paenibacillus、Sinibacillus属为主,而污泥-猪粪堆肥中主要以Truepera、Actinomadura、Pseudosphingobacterium、Pseudomonas、Luteimonas、Ureibacillus属为主,两者堆肥中微生物群落结构存在显著差异.随着堆肥进入腐熟期,林可霉素残留大幅度降解,抗生素对微生物的胁迫减小或解除,林可霉素菌渣-猪粪堆肥和污泥-猪粪堆肥相比,无论是细菌还是真菌,其微生物群落已逐渐趋同.表明堆肥处理可以大幅降解林可霉素残留,增加微生物多样性,有利于实现林可霉素菌渣无害化处理和资源化利用.     

The fate of prazosin and levonorgestrel after electrochemical degradation process: Monitoring by-products using LC-TOF/MS

Prazosin (PRZ) and levonorgestrel (LNG) are widely used as an anti-disease drugs due to their biological activity in the human body. The frequent detection of these compounds in water samples requires alternative technologies for the removal of both compounds. After electrochemical degradation of PRZ and LNG, the parent compounds could be completely removed after treatment, but the identification and characterization of by-products are necessary as well. In this study, the effects of NaCl concentration and applied voltage were investigated during the electrochemical degradation process. The results revealed that the increase of NaCl concentration and applied voltage could promote the generation of hypochlorite OCl? and then enhance the degradation of PRZ and LNG. After initial study, 6 V and 0.2 g NaCl were selected for further experiments (96% and 99% removal of PRZ and LNG after 40 min, respectively). Energy consumption was also evaluated and calculated for PRZ and LNG at 3, 6 and 8 V. Solid phase extraction (SPE) method plays an important role in enhancing the detection limit of by-products. Furthermore, characterization and identification of chlorinated and non-chlorinated by-products were conducted using an accurate liquid chromatography-time of flight/mass spectrometry LC-TOF/MS instrument. The monitoring of products during the electrochemical degradation process was performed at 6 V and 0.2 g NaCl in a 50 mL solution. The results indicated that two chlorinated products were formed during the electrochemical process. The toxicity of by-products toward E. coli bacteria was investigated at 37°C and 20 hr incubation time.     

羟基自由基氧化降解水中土臭素的效率与机制

土臭素(Geosmin,GSM)是一种由蓝绿藻及放线菌产生,具有令人讨厌土霉味的化合物.地表水中存在土臭素,尽管量少,但因传统水处理工艺难以去除,大大降低了饮用水的感官质量.本文采用大气压强电场电离放电结合水力射流空化方式制备的羟基自由基(Hydroxyl radicals,·OH)对水中GSM进行氧化降解,研究了氧化剂投加剂量、接触时间因素的影响,并根据气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)全扫描获取的中间产物探讨了·OH氧化降解GSM的机制.实验结果表明:当氧化剂投加剂量为0.8 mg·L~(-1),管路中接触反应6 s,可把初始浓度100 ng·L~(-1)的GSM降解到10 ng·L~(-1)以下;提高氧化剂投加量至2.6 mg·L~(-1),接触反应180 s,可氧化降解500 ng·L~(-1)的GSM至10 ng·L~(-1)以下,达到我国《生活饮用水卫生标准》(GB5749—2006).在GSM水样中加入叔丁醇(Tertiary butyl alcohol,TBA)·OH淬灭剂,GSM氧化降解效果明显降低,间接证明了降解GSM的主要物质为·OH.对氧化降解GSM的中间产物分析表明·OH可以破坏GSM双环结构并最终将其矿化成CO_2和H_2O.
