Impact of spiked concentrations of Cd,Pb, As and Zn in growth medium on elemental uptake of Nasturtium officinale (Watercress)

This study is aimed at investigating the impact of water quality on the uptake and distribution of three non-essential and toxic elements, namely, As, Cd and Pb in the watercress plant to assess for metal toxicity. The plant was hydroponically cultivated under greenhouse conditions, with the growth medium being spiked with varying concentrations of As, Cd and Pb. Plants that were harvested weekly for elemental analysis showed physiological and morphological symptoms of toxicity on exposure to high concentrations of Cd and Pb. Plants exposed to high concentrations of As did not survive and the threshold for As uptake in watercress was established at 5 ppm. Translocation factors were low in all cases as the toxic elements accumulated more in the roots of the plant than the edible leaves. The impact of Zn on the uptake of toxic elements was also evaluated and Zn was found to have an antagonistic effect on uptake of both Cd and Pb with no notable effect on uptake of As. The findings indicate that phytotoxicity or death of the watercress plant would prevent it from being a route of human exposure to high concentrations of As, Cd and Pb in the environment.     

Phenolic compounds in leaves of Salix species and hybrids growing under different soil conditions

The leaves of eight Salix species/hybrids were collected from two sites with different soil conditions including metal concentrations to investigate the concentration of Cu, Zn and Pb, phenolic profile and antioxidant scavenging activity. Cu, Zn and Pb, phenolic content and scavenging activity in leaves from the control area (lower concentration of metals in soil) (site C) were lower than in plants cultivated in site G (higher concentration of metals in soil). The content of Cu, Pb and Zn in leaves was in the range 9.21 (site G)–52.36 (site G), 0.41 (site C)?12.03 (site C) and 27.23 (site C)–214.44 (site G) mg?kg^?1, respectively. Total phenolic content ranged between 18.19 (site C) and 84.71 (site G) mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry matter. Total flavonoid content was between 7.98 (site C) and 54.48 (site G) mg catechin g^?1?d.m. The scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl˙ ranged between 33.6% (site C) and 56.3% (site G). Phenolic acids, myricetin and quercetin were quantified in leaves. The results show that phenolics are involved during adaptive mechanisms under elevated content of Cu, Pb and Zn in soil. Changes in the phenolic composition in leaves can be suggested as indicators of metal stress in Salix plants.     

用粉煤灰吸附废水中的金属离子

铅污染土壤电动修复增强技术的研究

利用电动修复技术对铅污染土壤的修复进行了实验室研究,研究了修复时间和络合剂EDTA对电动修复效果的影响,分析了土壤重金属的迁移和变化特征。结果表明,在电场力作用下随着修复时间的增长污染物的去除率相应提高,去除率由修复时间5 d时的13%增加到15 d时的20%。以EDTA作为阴极控制液,EDTA可与硝酸铅反应形成溶解态的络合物,提高铅离子的移动性,从而提高修复效果。随着EDTA浓度由0.1 mol/L到0.2 mol/L,Pb的去除率由44.4%提高到61.5%,说明添加络合剂可以提高修复效果。另外,电动修复效果与铅的形态分布有密切关系,交换态和碳酸盐结合态有利于重金属铅的去除。     

木粉/壳聚糖接枝丙烯酸-丙烯酰胺吸附树脂对二元重金属离子溶液中Pb2+的吸附

采用自制木粉/壳聚糖接枝丙烯酸-丙烯酰胺吸附树脂R1、R2、R3对二元金属离子Cu2 +/pb2和Zn2+/pb2+溶液中的吸附性能进行了较系统考察.pb2+离子溶液中存在竞争离子Cu2+、Zn2+时,随竞争离子浓度增加,3种吸附树脂R1、R2、R3对pb2+的吸附量明显下降,而竞争离子吸附量显著增加.二元溶液中各金属离子浓度相同时,3种树脂对竞争离子Cu2+、Zn2+的吸附量大于对pb2+的吸附量;各溶液中分别加入NaCl及NaNO3、尿素后,对pb2+离子的吸附量下降迅速.随吸附树脂用量增加,竞争离子Cu2+、Zn2+的吸附量逐渐减小,pb2+的吸附量在吸附树脂用量0.10 g/L(Zn2 +/pb2+溶液)或0.15 g/L(Cu2+/pb2+溶液)时出现最大值.溶液pH值对树脂吸附性能有显著影响.3.0＜pH＜5.O时,3种树脂对竞争离子和pb2+的吸附量快速增大;5＜ pH ＜9时,树脂对竞争离子和pb2+的吸附量基本不变;9＜pH＜ll时,树脂对pb2+的吸附量减小,而对竞争离子的吸附量或增大或减小.     

循环经济视角下原生和再生资源消费的动态分析

从循环经济视角出发,聚焦这种新经济模式下原生资源和再生资源的动态关系,以世界铅资源为实证对象,利用1974-2006年世界铅资源的相关时间序列数据组织样本,基于协整关系分析构建VAR模型,在VAR模型框架下研究原生铅产量和再生铅产量对来自不同冲击的脉冲响应函数和方差分解。研究结果表明:原生铅产量、再生铅产量与铅消费总量之间存在着一个协整关系。这意味着在当前经济系统中,对铅资源是刚性需求,没有有效替代品,其供给的途径只有原生铅和再生铅两种。另外,对于来自市场消费规模、原生和再生铅产量的变动冲击,再生铅所做出的响应比原生铅更富有弹性,这一结论可以很好的阐释为什么再生资源市场比原生资源市场波动大的现象。     

On the performance of Fe and Fe,F doped Ti-Pt/PbO2 electrodes in the electrooxidation of the Blue Reactive 19 dye in simulated textile wastewater

The electrochemical performance of pure Ti–Pt/β-PbO₂ electrodes, or doped with Fe and F (together or separately), in the oxidation of simulated wastewaters containing the Blue Reactive 19 dye (BR-19), using a filter-press reactor, was investigated and then compared with that of a boron-doped diamond electrode supported on a niobium substrate (Nb/BDD). The electrooxidation of the dye simulated wastewater (volume of 0.1 l, with a BR-19 initial concentration of 25 mg l⁻¹) was carried out under the following conditions: current density of 50 mA cm⁻², volume flow rate of 2.4 l h⁻¹, temperature of 25 °C and electrode area of 5 cm². The performances of the electrodes in the dye decolorization were quite similar, achieving 100% decolorization, and in some cases 90% decolorization was achieved by applying only ca. 0.3 A h l⁻¹ (8 min of electrolysis). The reduction of the simulated wastewater organic load, monitored by its total organic carbon content (TOC), was greater for the Ti–Pt/β-PbO₂–Fe,F electrode obtained from an electrodeposition bath containing 1 mM Fe³⁺ and 30 mM F⁻. In this case, after 2 h of electrolysis the obtained TOC reduction was 95%, while for the pure β-PbO₂ and the Nb/BDD electrodes the reductions were 84% and 82%, respectively.
