Vapour pressures, aqueous solubility, Henry's law constants and air/water partition coefficients of 1,8-dichlorooctane and 1,8-dibromooctane

New data on the vapour pressures and aqueous solubility of 1,8-dichlorooctane and 1,8-dibromooctane are reported as a function of temperature between 20 °C and 80 °C and 1 °C and 40 °C, respectively. For the vapour pressures, a static method was used during the measurements which have an estimated uncertainty between 3% and 5%. The aqueous solubilities were determined using a dynamic saturation column method and the values are accurate to within ±10%. 1,8-Dichlorooctane is more volatile than 1,8-dibromooctane in the temperature range covered (p_sat varies from 3 to 250 Pa and from 0.53 to 62 Pa, respectively) and is also approximately three times more soluble in water (mole fraction solubilities at 25 °C of 5.95 × 10⁻⁷ and 1.92 × 10⁻⁷, respectively). A combination of the two sets of data allowed the calculation of the Henry’s law constants and the air water partition coefficients. A simple group contribution concept was used to rationalize the data obtained.     

生物炭基固定化菌剂对石油类污染物的高效降解

以生物炭为载体,采用吸附法制备固定化菌剂,通过分析不同材料生物炭的结构差异,探讨了不同生物炭的结构在固定化中的影响机制。SEM和EDS分析表明,降解菌主要固定在生物炭表面。生物炭内含有C、N和P成分,能为降解菌提供营养物质。生物炭的多孔结构能促进石油污染物的降解。结果表明,经玉米芯和秸秆生物炭固定化后F-3、R-7及其混合菌的除油率显著提高,分别为41.7%和29.5%、52.5%和42.8%、63.8%和53.2%。玉米芯生物炭固定化菌剂的除油率比秸秆生物炭固定化菌剂高10.6%。玉米芯生物炭表面比秸秆生物炭粗糙,其固定的微生物量为4.2×1010 cfu·g-1,固定效率达71.2%;秸秆生物炭固定的微生物量为2.5×1010 cfu·g-1,固定效率为57.6%。固定化菌剂的最佳制备条件为：选择500℃下热解3 h的玉米芯生物炭为载体,微生物接种量为10%,载体投加量为10 g·L-1,置于35℃、130 r·min-1摇床中固定18 h。     

有机酸对成都平原镉污染土壤的淋洗效果

以成都平原某化工厂附近受Cd污染的2种土壤为对象,采用振荡淋洗技术,研究了有机酸在不同浓度、固液比、振荡时间和复合淋洗条件下对重金属Cd的去除效果。实验结果表明：柠檬酸和酒石酸对Cd含量为22.78 mg·kg-1的SLT-01土壤具有更好的去除效果,分别达到73%和62%,而乙酸和草酸的去除能力较低;随着固液比的降低,有机酸对Cd的去除率逐步提高;随着时间的增加,Cd的去除率波动增加;柠檬酸和酒石酸复合淋洗并没有提高Cd的去除率;振荡淋洗前后土壤结构未发生明显变化。综合考虑土壤中Cd的去除效果和成本,选择柠檬酸作为最佳淋洗剂;最佳实验条件：溶液浓度为0.10 mol·L-1,固液比为1∶20,淋洗时间为8 h。     

EuroBionet: a pan-European biomonitoring network for urban air quality assessment

EuroBionet, the 'European Network for the Assessment of Air Quality by the Use of Bioindicator Plants', is an EU-funded cooperative project currently consisting of public authorities and scientific institutes from 12 cities in 8 countries. In 2000, the bioindicator plants tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum Bel W3), poplar (Populus nigra 'Brandaris'), spiderwort (Tradescantia sp. clone 4430), Italian rye grass (Lolium multiflorum italicum) and curly kale (Brassica oleracea acephala) were exposed to ambient air at 90 monitoring sites according to standardised methods. Visible injuries and growth parameters were assessed and the accumulation of toxic substances in leaves determined. The exposure of tobacco resulted in a gradient with low levels of ozone-induced foliar injury in N and NW Europe, and medium to high values in the southern and central regions. The results of heavy metal and sulphur analyses in rye grass samples generally showed low to very low sulphur and low to medium heavy metal concentrations in leaves. In some cities, however, local hot spots of heavy metal contamination were detected. Analyses of the PAH contents in curly kale leaves gave low to medium values, with locally elevated levels at traffic-exposed sites.     

A theoretical model of air and steam co-injection to prevent the downward migration of DNAPLs during steam-enhanced extraction

When steam is injected into soil containing a dense volatile non-aqueous phase liquid contaminant the DNAPL vaporized within the heated soil region condenses and accumulates ahead of the steam condensation front. If enough DNAPL accumulates, gravitational forces can overcome trapping forces allowing the liquid contaminant to flow downward. By injecting air with steam, a portion of the DNAPL vapor remains suspended in equilibrium with the air, decreasing liquid contaminant accumulation ahead of the steam condensation front, and thus reducing the possibility of downward migration. In this work, a one-dimensional theoretical model is developed to predict the injection ratio of air to steam that will prevent the accumulation of volatile DNAPLs. The contaminated region is modeled as a one-dimensional homogeneous porous medium with an initially uniform distribution of a single component contaminant. Mass and energy balances are combined to determine the injection ratio of air to steam that eliminates accumulation of the contaminant ahead of the steam condensation front, and hence reduces the possibility of downward migration. The minimum injection ratio that eliminates accumulation is defined as the optimum injection ratio. Example calculations are presented for three DNAPLs, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), trichloroethylene (TCE), and perchloroethylene (PCE). The optimum injection ratio of air to steam is shown to depend on the initial saturation and the volatility of the liquid contaminant. Numerical simulation results are presented to validate the model, and to illustrate downward migration for ratios less than optimum. Optimum injection ratios determined from numerical simulations are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical model.     

光合产氢-膜曝气生物膜反应器耦合系统产氢与底物降解特性

为提高光合产氢反应器性能,构建了一种采用沼泽红假单胞菌CQK01接种的光生物产氢-膜曝气生物膜反应器（PBR-MABR）耦合系统。实验表明,在序批培养条件下,由于产氢过程中有机酸和氢离子不断积累,使得PBR系统的产氢速率远低于PBR-MABR系统,其产氢速率为0.49 mmol·（L·h）-1;而PBR-MABR、PBR-2MABRs和PBR-3MABRs的产氢速率则分别可达到0.61、0.76和0.85 mmol·（L·h）-1。这主要是由于有机酸被MABR中的透气膜上生长的生物膜不断降解所致。有机酸的降解不仅提高了耦合系统内pH值并在一定程度上缓解了体系中的产物抑制。     

过硫酸钾去除水中的TCE

以地水中的氯代烃污染物三氯乙烯(TCE)为目标污染物,以过硫酸钾溶液为氧化剂,探讨了不同条件下过硫酸钾对TCE的去除效果。实验结果表明,在40℃,过硫酸钾初始浓度为2.43 g/L条件下,反应2 h后,TCE的去除率就可达到96.8%;过硫酸钾对TCE的去除符合一级反应动力学方程,速率常数(K)为1.3364 h-1,半衰期(t1/2)为0.51 h;过硫酸钾对TCE的去除速率在pH为中性附近时最大,其后无论pH升高或降低去除速率均减小;受温度和pH影响较明显,并且反应温度越高,受pH的影响越明显;随离子强度的增加而减小;反应活化能为119.6 kJ/mol;过硫酸钾溶于水生成过硫酸根离子(S2O28-),S2O28-会进一步生成硫酸根自由基(SO4-.),在碱性条件下,SO4-.与OH-反应会进一步生成羟基自由基(.OH)。过硫酸钾对于TCE的去除主要源自SO4-.和.OH的强氧化性。     

几种印染助剂对壳聚糖稳定纳米铁去除酸性品红的影响

以氯化铁为铁源,硼氢化钠为还原剂,壳聚糖为稳定剂,采用液相还原法制备壳聚糖稳定纳米铁（CS-nZⅥ）;研究了印染废水中常见助剂NaNO₃、Na₂SO₄、NaH₂PO₄、K₂Cr₂O₇、EDTA二钠盐存在下,超声波辅助CS-nZⅥ对酸性品红（AF）降解的影响。结果表明,反应15 min,0.01 g CS-nZⅥ对25 mL、100 mg/L AF的去除率高达99.9%;各种助剂的存在使得纳米铁表面不同程度失活,阻碍反应的进行,使得AF的去除率下降。NaNO₃、K₂Cr₂O₇、EDTA二钠盐与纳米铁发生反应,与AF存在明显的竞争作用。重复利用实验表明,CS-nZⅥ重复利用7次仍具有一定的反应活性。此外,CS-nZⅥ对加标（50 mg/L）实际废水中AF的去除率达到99%以上,表明CS-nZⅥ是一种潜在的环境修复材料。

Composition of wet and bulk deposition in Erzurum, Turkey

Seasonal variations in the chemical characteristics of wet and bulk deposition samples collected in Erzurum were investigated for the period March 2002-January 2003. Major cations (Ca2+, K+, Mg2+) and major anions (SO4(2-),NO3-) were determined in bulk and wet deposition samples; pH was also measured in wet deposition. The average pH of the wet deposition at Erzurum was 6.6 due to extensive neutralization of the acidity. A strong relationship between pH and SO4(2-) concentrations was observed in all seasons; however, only a weak relationship was found between pH and NO3-. On a seasonal basis, the correlation between Ca2+ and SO4(2-) concentrations was stronger in winter than in summer. Seasonal variations of ions were examined in both wet and bulk deposition samples. Although maximum concentrations of anions generally occurred during winter and spring, cation concentrations peaked in summer for both wet and bulk deposition. Results indicated that Ca2+ was the dominant cation and SO4(2-) the dominant anion in all deposition samples at Erzurum. Even though correlations among the crustal ions (calcium, magnesium and potassium) were high, the relationship between anthropogenic ions (sulfate and nitrate) was less clear in bulk deposition.
