Photolysis of flumequine: identification of the major phototransformation products and toxicity measures

Direct photolysis of flumequine (FLU, 20 mg L⁻¹) in different types of water (demineralised water (DW) and synthetic seawater (SW)), was conducted in a Suntest CPS + solar simulator to evaluate its persistence and toxicity, and to identify the major phototransformation products (PTPs) generated during photolysis in DW. It was observed that FLU is susceptible to transformation when subjected to direct solar radiation. The composition of the water affects the FLU degradation kinetics, which is slower in SW. Photolytic transformation products generated during direct photolysis were identified by liquid chromatography-time of flight-mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS). Fourteen PTPs generated in DW were identified. The transformation of FLU begins with the opening of the heterocyclic ring by oxidation of the double bond. Loss of the fluorine atom and the hydroxylation of the aromatic ring also appear as the majority, especially in the early stages. Comparative acute toxicity evaluation by Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna bioassays was performed for the first and last irradiated solutions in both matrices studied. These bioassays demonstrated that in the SW matrix, the most persistent PTPs are highly toxic to D. magna but less so to V. fischeri.     

Effect of humic acids on photodegradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides under UV irradiation

The effects of two humic acids (HAs) of different origins on the photodegradation of the chloroacetanilide herbicides acetochlor, propisochlor and butachlor were investigated in this study. One of the tested HAs was a standard sample that was purchased from a commercial source, and the other was isolated from the black soil of Northeast China. The photolysis of all three herbicides followed pseudo-first-order kinetics under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation conditions, regardless of whether HAs were present or not. Both HAs improved the photolysis rates of acetochlor in a dose-reversed way, whereas they inhibited butachlor degradation under all experimental concentrations. The two HAs differed in their effects on propisochlor photolysis, changing from enhancement to inhibition, depending on the origin and concentration of HAs. Element and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analyses showed that the isolated HAs had more polysaccharides and less aliphatic groups than the commercial HAs, and it was indicated that some characteristic radicals (C═O, O─H and phenolic hydroxyls) in HAs were involved in the photolysis of the herbicides. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analyses indicated that the presence of HAs had no effects on the photolysis pathway and photoproduct species of the three herbicides.

在酸性药物中选取常用的布洛芬和双氯芬酸为典型对象,研究其在人工湿地中的去除行为,探讨不同工艺、有无植物、不同季节对其去除效果的影响.结果表明,工艺因素对二者的去除存在显著影响.其中,布洛芬在水平潜流和垂直潜流湿地中的平均去除率(分别为69%和60%)显著高于表面流湿地(26%),而双氯芬酸在表面流湿地中的平均去除率(58%)则显著高于水平潜流和垂直潜流湿地(分别为49%和43%).植物的存在可以显著提高布洛芬的去除率,对双氯芬酸的去除则无显著影响.配对样品t检验发现两种药物在夏季与秋季的去除效率无显著差异.双氯芬酸的去除效率与DO值、COD的去除效率呈极显著负相关,而布洛芬的去除效率与基质中好氧脱氢酶活性具有较好的正相关性,可能表明,布洛芬在湿地中主要通过好氧降解去除,双氯芬酸在湿地中的主要去除途径为光降解和厌氧降解.

Degradation kinetics of tebufenozide in model aquatic systems under controlled laboratory conditions

Abstract

The hydrolysis of the insecticide tebufenozide was studied in the dark at 20 to 40°C in buffered (pH 4 to 10) distilled water, and at 20°C in unbuffered, sterilized and unsterilized stream water. Tebufenozide was very stable in acidic and neutral buffers at 20°C and the corresponding pseudo‐first‐order rate constants (k_obsd) and half‐lives (T_1/2) were 5.946 × 10^‐4 and 13.10 × 10^‐4 d^‐1, and 1166 and 529 d, respectively. The hydrolytic degradation was dependent on pH and temperature. At pH 10 and at 20,30 and 40°C, the k_obsd (10^‐4 d^‐1) and T_1/2 (d) values were 34.22, 66.72 and 130.0; and 203, 104 and 53.3, respectively. The energy of activation (E_a) values for the hydrolysis of tebufenozide at pH 4, 7 and 10, calculated from the Arrhenius plots, were 83.50, 66.71 and 50.87 kJ/mol, respectively. Tebufenozide was stable in sterilized stream water in the dark (T_1/2 = 734 d) but it degraded fairly rapidly in unsterilized stream water (T_1/2 = 181 d). Sunlight photodegradation of the chemical was slower (T_1/2 = 83.0 h) than the photolysis by ultraviolet radiations (T_1/2 values at 254 and 365 nm were 9.92 and 27.6 h, respectively); nevertheless, it was still appreciable during the summer months at 46°31’ N latitude. The differences in degradation rates between the unsterilized and sterilized stream water and the degradation of the chemical in the sterile, distilled water in sunlight, suggests that microbial processes and photolysis are the two main degradative routes for tebufenozide in natural aquatic systems.
