Adsorption of Cr(Ⅲ) from acidic solutions by crop straw derived biochars

Cr（Ⅲ） adsorption by biochars generated from peanut, soybean, canola and rice straws is investigated with batch methods. Adsorption of Cr（Ⅲ） increased as pH rose from 2.5 to 5.0. Adsorption of Cr（Ⅲ） led to peak position shifts in the FFIR-PAS spectra of the biochars and made zeta potential values less negative, suggesting the formation of surface complexes between Cr^3＋ and functional groups on the biochars. The adsorption capacity of Cr（Ⅲ） followed the order： peanut straw char 〉 soybean straw char 〉 canola straw char 〉 rice straw char, which was consistent with the content of acidic functional groups on the biochars. The increase in Cr^3＋ hydrolysis as the pH rose was one of the main reasons for the increased adsorption of Cr（Ⅲ） by the biochars at higher pH values. Cr（llI） can be adsorbed by the biochars through electrostatic attraction between negative surfaces and Cr^3＋, but the relative contribution of electrostatic adsorption was less than 5%. Therefore, Cr（Ⅲ） was mainly adsorbed by the biochars through specific adsorption. The Langumir and Freundlich equations fitted the adsorption isotherms well and can therefore be used to describe the adsorption behavior of Cr（Ⅲ） by the crop straw biochars. The crop straw biochars have great adsorption capacities for Cr（Ⅲ） under acidic conditions and can be used as adsorbents to remove Cr（Ⅲ） from acidic wastewaters.

空气湿度对低浓度有机蒸气在活性炭上吸附平衡的影响

采用吸附柱穿透曲线法测定了30℃不同相对湿度（RH）下4种低浓度有机蒸气（VOC）在活性炭上的等温吸附量，结果表明，水蒸汽对VOC吸附平衡的抑制作用。随着RH的增大，VOC浓度的降低而增大，且随着VOC分子极性的增强则有所增大；VOC水蒸汽吸了平衡的抑制作用，随着VOC分子极性的增强是有所减弱，提出一个基于竞争吸附机理的olanyi-Dubi-min方程，解释空气湿度对低浓度VOC在活性炭吸附平衡的影响。

Distribution characteristics of dissolved organic carbon in annular wetland soil-water solutions through soil profiles in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

Overwhelming evidence reveals that concentrations of dissolved organic carbon （DOC） have increased in streams which brings negative environmental impacts. DOC in stream flow is mainly originated from soil-water solutions of watershed. Wetlands prove to be the most sensitive areas as an important DOC reserve between terrestrial and fluvial biogeosystems. This reported study was focused on the distribution characteristics and the controlling factors of DOC in soil-water solutions of annular wetland, i.e., a dishing wetland and a forest wetland together, in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. The results indicate that DOC concentrations in soilwater solutions decreased and then increased with increasing soil depth in the annular wetland. In the upper soil layers of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm, DOC concentrations in soil-water solutions linearly increased from edge to center of the annular wetland （R^2 = 0.3122 and R^2 = 0.443）. The distribution variations were intimately linked to DOC production and utilization and DOC transport processes in annular wetland soil-water solutions. The concentrations of total organic carbon （TOC）, total carbon （TC） and Fe（II）, DOC mobility and continuous vertical and lateral flow affectext the distribution variations of DOC in soil-water solutions. The correlation coefficients between DOC concentrations and TOC, TC and Fe（II） were 0.974, 0.813 and 0.753 respectively. These distribution characteristics suggested a systematic response of the distribution variations of DOC in annular wetland soil-water solutions to the geometry of closed depressions on a scale of small catchments. However, the DOC in soil pore water of the annular wetland may be the potential source of DOC to stream flow on watershed scale. These observations also implied the fragmentation of wetland landscape could bring the spatial-temporal variations of DOC distribution and exports, which would bring negative environmental impacts in watersheds of the Sanjiang Plain.     

和田绿洲沙尘暴物质输送路径及其对大气环境质量的影响

为了研究来自不同方向的沙尘暴对和田绿洲大气环境质量的影响，本文利用HYSPLIT后向轨迹模型和NCEP的GDAS全球气象要素数据，将和田绿洲西北部的墨玉县城作为模拟受点（37.26°N，79.72°E），计算2016年1月1日—2018年12月31日发生的每一次沙尘天气期间逐日18：00（世界时）36 h后向气流轨迹，轨迹计算起始高度设置为500 m，并结合相应的PM_2.5、PM₁₀、SO₂、NO₂、CO、O₃浓度监测数据进行聚类分析，研究抵达该地区的沙尘暴的主要移动轨迹和污染物输送路径.同时，运用潜在源贡献因子分析法（PSCF）和权重污染轨迹分析法，分析了沙尘暴期间不同气流轨迹对墨玉县污染物浓度的影响，识别大气污染物的潜在源区，揭示不同源区对污染物浓度的贡献差异.结果表明，影响和田绿洲（墨玉县）的沙尘暴主要来自西北（WN）、北（N）、东北（EN）和东（E）4个方向；其中，来自东部的沙尘天气频率最高（60.2%），但主要以浮尘天气为主；扬沙和强沙尘暴主要来自西部方向，54.48%的强沙尘暴和38.53%的扬沙来自西和西北方向.不同沙尘源区和不同传输路径上的沙尘气溶胶对和田绿洲大气环境的影响不一样.沙尘天气期间，大气PM_2.5和PM₁₀的平均浓度相当于无沙尘天气期间的3~5倍，但对SO₂、NO₂、CO、O₃质量浓度的影响不大；由西向东和由北向南的沙尘暴对墨玉县PM_2.5和PM₁₀质量浓度的贡献率最大；由东向西的沙尘暴由于路过和田市和洛浦县等工业污染源区，此簇沙尘暴气团将该区域SO₂、NO₂、CO等污染颗粒携带到墨玉县，因此，东-东南（E-ES）方向的沙尘暴对SO₂、NO₂、CO的贡献率分别为15.56%、20.55%和21.57%.本文定量印证了沙尘暴对和田绿洲大气环境质量的影响，可为绿洲区沙尘暴研究提供参考.

研究了闽江福州段表层沉积物中Cr、Zn、As、Cd、Cu和Pb等6种有毒重金属的含量及其空间分布特征,并采用基于共识的沉积物质量基准(CBSQGs)和潜在生态风险指数法(RI)对沉积物中重金属的毒性和潜在生态风险进行了评价.结果表明,6种重金属平均含量大小顺序为Zn(195.57 mg·kg~(-1))Pb(79.41 mg·kg~(-1))Cr(66.62 mg·kg~(-1))Cu(42.33 mg·kg~(-1))As(10.02 mg·kg~(-1))Cd(0.90 mg·kg~(-1)).Zn、Cd、Pb含量从河段上游到下游呈递减趋势,Cr、As呈递增趋势,Cu含量分布均匀.平均可能效应浓度商Q值对沉积物中重金属毒性判定结果表明,有18%的沉积物样品具有毒性,说明闽江福州段沉积物整体毒性效应低.从RI值来看,闽江福州段沉积物的生态风险属于中低等级;风险等级为中的样品占55.3%,主要分布在河段上游和中游(福州市区的南港和北港段),风险主要来自Cd的污染.     

Biodegradation of phenol by free and immobilized Acinetobacter sp. strain PD12

A new phenol-degrading bacterium with high biodegradation activity and high tolerance of phenol, strain PD 12, was isolated from the activated sludge of Tianjin Jizhuangzi Wastewater Treatment Facility in China. This strain was capable of removing 500 mg phenol/L in liquid minimal medium by 99.6% within 9 h and metabolizing phenol at concentrations up to 1100 mg/L. DNA sequencing and homologous analysis of 16S rRNA gene identified PD12 to be an Acinetobacter sp. Polyvinyl alcohol （PVA） was used as a gel matrix to immobilize Acinetobacter sp. strain PDI2 by repeated freezing and thawing. The factors affecting phenol degradation of immobilized cells were investigated, and the results showed that the immobilized cells could tolerate a high phenol level and protected the bacteria against changes in temperature and pH. Storage stability and reusability tests revealed that the phenol degradation functions of immobilized cells were stable after reuse for 50 times or storing at 4℃ for 50 d. These results indicate that immobilized Acinetobacter sp. strain PD 12 possesses a good application potential in the treatment of phenol-containing wastewater.
