Effects of pore size and dissolved organic matters on diffusion of arsenate in aqueous solution

Presented here is the influence of membrane pore size and dissolved organic matters on the diffusion coefficient(D) of aqueous arsenate, investigated by the diffusion cell method for the first time. The p H-dependent diffusion coefficient of arsenate was determined and compared with values from previous studies; the coefficient was found to decrease with increasing p H, showing the validity of our novel diffusion cell method. The D value increased dramatically as a function of membrane pore size at small pore sizes, and then increased slowly at pore sizes larger than 2.0 μm. Using the Exp Assoc model, the maximum D value was determined to be 11.2565 × 10~-6cm~2/sec. The presence of dissolved organic matters led to a dramatic increase of the D of arsenate, which could be attributed to electrostatic effects and ionic effects of salts. These results improve the understanding of the diffusion behavior of arsenate, especially the important role of various environmental parameters in the study and prediction of the migration of arsenate in aquatic water systems.     

Immobilization of nitrite oxidizing bacteria using biopolymeric chitosan media

The effects of chitosan characteristics including the degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, particle size, pH pretreatment and immobilization time on the immobilization of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) on biopolymeric chitosan were investigated. Nitrite removal efficiency of immobilized NOB depended on the degree of deacetylation, particle size, pH pretreatment on the surface of chitosan and immobilization time. Scanning electron microscope characterization illustrated that the number of NOB cells attached to the surface of chitosan increased with an increment of immobilization time. The optimal condition for NOB immobilization on chitosan was achieved during a 24-hr immobilization period using chitosan with the degree of deacetylation larger than 80% and various particle size ranges between 1-5 mm at pH 6.5. In general, the NOB immobilized on chitosan flakes has a high potential to remove excess nitrite from wastewater and aquaculture systems.     

Spatial and seasonal variability of CO2 flux at the air-water interface of the Three Gorges Reservoir

Difusive carbon dioxide(CO2) emissions from the water surface of the Three Gorges Reservoir, currently the largest hydroelectric reservoir in the world, were measured using floating static chambers over the course of a yearlong survey. The results showed that the average annual CO2 flux was(163.3 ± 117.4) mg CO2/(m2·hr) at the reservoir surface, which was larger than the CO2 flux in most boreal and temperate reservoirs but lower than that in tropical reservoirs. Significant spatial variations in CO2 flux were observed at four measured sites, with the largest flux measured at Wushan(221.9 mg CO2/(m2·hr)) and the smallest flux measured at Zigui(88.6 mg CO2/(m2·hr)); these diferences were probably related to the average water velocities at diferent sites. Seasonal variations in CO2 flux were also observed at four sites, starting to increase in January, continuously rising until peaking in the summer(June-August) and gradually decreasing thereafter. Seasonal variations in CO2 flux could reflect seasonal dynamics in pH, water velocity,and temperature. Since the spatial and temporal variations in CO2 flux were significant and dependent on multiple physical, chemical,and hydrological factors, it is suggested that long-term measurements should be made on a large spatial scale to assess the climatic influence of hydropower in China, as well as the rest of the world.

基于MGWR的土壤pH值空间建模及其影响因素分析

以安徽、河南、江苏和山东省为研究区,利用599个土壤样点数据,从地形、气候和生物等方面选取与土壤pH相关的9个环境因子,采用多尺度地理加权回归（MGWR）、混合地理加权回归（Mixed GWR）、地理加权回归（GWR）和多元线性回归（MLR）这4种模型对研究区土壤pH空间分布进行建模,并结合MGWR与分位数回归揭示环境因子对土壤pH作用的空间差异性.结果表明：①研究区土壤pH在不同空间距离上呈不同程度的显著全局和局部空间自相关性,聚集特征明显.② 4种模型中MGWR模型最优,MGWR、Mixed GWR、GWR和MLR的建模集R_adj²为0.64、0.62、0.59和0.48.MGWR的残差独立分布性最强,其空间自相关性最弱,全局Moran''s I仅为0.07.③ 3种GWR预测结果显示,研究区土壤pH值空间分布总体由北至南逐渐降低,河南北部最高,安徽南部最低.④ MGWR回归结果表明年均降雨量（MAP）、多尺度谷底平坦度（MRVBF）和海拔对土壤pH的影响较强,且存在较强的空间异质性.在江苏北部和山东大部分地区,MAP对土壤pH的影响较强;在江苏北部和山东西部,MRVBF对土壤pH的正向作用较强;在江苏北部和中部,海拔对土壤pH的负向作用最强.⑤ MAP对不同分位数水平上的土壤pH均呈显著负作用,作用强度随分位数水平增加呈减弱趋势;MRVBF对低分位数水平（θ为0.1~0.4）上的土壤pH呈显著负作用,对高分位数水平（θ为0.5~0.9）的土壤pH作用不显著.研究结果可为利用MGWR开展大区域土壤属性影响因素分析及预测制图提供参考.     

不同沉淀pH值条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附作用

研究了沉淀pH值分别为4.8、8.0和10.6条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附作用,结果表明,共存的Na~+仅仅略微促进了沉淀pH值为4.8和8.0时所得水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附,却明显促进了沉淀pH值为10.6时所得水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附.共存的Ca~(2+)仅仅略微促进了沉淀pH值为4.8时水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附,却极大地促进了沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附.共存的HCO_3~-和SO_4~(2-)抑制了水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附,且它们对沉淀pH值为4.8时水合氧化锆吸磷的抑制作用明显大于对沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时水合氧化锆的抑制作用.不同沉淀pH值条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附能力均随着溶液pH值的增加而降低.不同沉淀pH值条件下所得水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附平衡数据可以采用Langmuir、Freundlich和Dubinin-Redushckevich(D-R)等温吸附模型加以描述.存在Na+而不存在Ca~(2+)情况下,3种不同沉淀pH值条件下所得水合氧化锆对中性溶液中磷酸盐的最大单层吸附容量差别不大;存在Ca~(2+)情况下,沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时所得水合氧化锆对中性溶液中磷酸盐的最大单层吸附容量远远高于沉淀pH值为4.8时制备的水合氧化锆.沉淀pH值为4.8和8.0时所得水合氧化锆的吸磷机制主要是表面氯和羟基基团与磷酸盐之间的配位体交换作用,而沉淀pH值为10.6时所得水合氧化锆的吸磷机制主要是表面羟基基团与磷酸盐之间的配位体交换作用.以上研究结果显示,与沉淀pH值为4.8时制备的水合氧化锆相比,沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时制备的水合氧化锆更加适合作为吸附剂去除废水中的磷酸盐.

在温度为30℃±1℃条件下,采用陶粒为填料的序批式CANON反应器,以人工配置无机高氨氮废水为进水,研究不同初始pH值对CANON工艺脱氮效果和N_2O释放的影响.试验过程中,控制进水氨氮浓度相同,HRT=5 h,曝气量为6m3·(m~3·h)~(-1)时,调节进水pH值分别为6.64、6.98、7.15、7.88和7.95,研究发现,初始pH值在6.64~7.95之间时,CANON工艺脱氮效果基本保持稳定,TN去除率分别为81.38%、87.32%、92.12%、88.21%和86.84%,TN去除负荷均在1.56kg·(m3·d)-1以上;各周期初始N_2O释放速率基本相同,先升高后降低,且初始pH值越低N_2O释放速率峰值越高,而N_2O释放量和释放率也均随初始pH增加而减少.初始pH值在6.64~7.95之间对总氮去除影响不大,但对N_2O释放有较大影响.要同步实现CANON工艺高效脱氮和N_2O释放减量化,应将进水pH调节在7.90附近.
