Photocatalytic degradation of aqueous methyl-tert-butyl-ether (MTBE) in a supported-catalyst reactor

Contamination of groundwater by methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) poses increasing problems to water companies. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of using a cylindrical, supported-catalyst reactor for photocatalytic degradation of MTBE in water. It was shown that photocatalytic degradation of MTBE follows pseudo first-order kinetics. The maximum reaction rate constant observed was 0.47 hr^–1. The reaction rate increases linearly with increasing light intensity. It was also found that the reaction rate is linearly proportional to the ratio of catalyst surface area to volume of reactor. Complete degradation of MTBE was reached with an excess supply of oxygen.     

The emergence of stable isotopes in environmental and forensic geochemistry studies: a review

In the past decade, environmental forensics has emerged as a discipline directed toward determining parties liable for causing spills of contaminants into the environment. Such investigations, while geared toward determining the guilty parties in order to recover costs of the cleanup and remediation, require various questions to be addressed. These include determination of the nature of the product; Where did it come from?; Extent of weathering, if any; How long has it been there?; and Is it degrading naturally? Traditionally, these studies have been addressed through utilization of techniques such as gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS). However, in recent years, stable isotopes, primarily determined through the use of combined gas chromatography–isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GCIRMS), have emerged as an equally important tool in environmental forensics. For relatively low molecular, volatile compounds such as MTBE, BTEX, or chlorinated solvents, the isotopes, primarily carbon and hydrogen, have been used extensively for evaluating the onset of natural attenuation. For larger molecules such as PCBs or PAHs, in which the effects of biodegradation on the isotope composition of these molecules is minimal, the isotopic fingerprints of the individual compounds can be used for correlation purposes. In this paper, a brief introduction to isotope geochemistry will be given, followed by a review of applications of stable isotopes to a variety of environmental problems. While the review may not necessarily be exhaustive, it will provide a comprehensive overview of areas where isotopes have been used and potential applications for the future. Most of the review is concerned with carbon and hydrogen isotopes, although a brief overview of the emerging area of chlorine isotopes will also be discussed.     

颗粒活性炭去除水中甲基叔丁基醚的可行性研究

随着甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）作为汽油添加剂被持续大量使用,其已成为一种地下水中常见的有机污染物。本文通过纯净水、自来水和地下水中MTBE的平衡吸附容量和微型快速穿透实验（MCRB）,比较了5种不同种类活性炭对MTBE的吸附性能。结果显示,苯酚值可准确预测活性炭样品对MTBE的平衡吸附容量大小次序,而丹宁酸值则可大致估计活性炭在实际处理应用时的吸附速度和吸附容量利用率。水样中共存的有机成分降低了活性炭对纯净水中MTBE的吸附容量,在背景TOC较低的去离子水中,活性炭对于MTBE的吸附性能反而比在地下水中降低得更多。穿透实验数据显示双柱串联的处理方式是高效应用活性炭吸附水中MTBE的优选工艺。使用环境友好的竹质活性炭去除地下水中MTBE具有良好的可行性和较高的性价比。     

UV/Fenton氧化降解水溶液中甲基叔丁基醚的试验研究

采用UV／Fenton技术对污染水体中的甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）进行了氧化降解试验。结果表明，在室温条件下，当H2O2为10mmol／L，FC＋为2mmol／L，pH为2．4时，起始摩尔浓度为1mmol／L的MTBE在30min内可去除99％；结果还显示了MTBE的降解分两个阶段，第一阶段是在UV／Fe^2＋／H2O2下的快速降解，第二阶段由于Fe^2＋的大量消耗而降解相对较慢。

以螺旋鱼腥藻(Anabaena spiroides)为实验材料,采用每天测定数据,连续跟踪10d的方法,研究了甲基叔丁基醚(Methyl tert-buty1 ether,MTBE)与雌二醇对螺旋鱼腥藻的单一毒性以及在不同毒性单位配比下的联合毒性,选用毒性单位(TU)、相加指数(AI)、混合毒性指数(MTI)和毒性增大指数(TEI)进行联合毒性评价.结果表明,MTBE与雌二醇共存时,在实验周期(10d)内,其联合作用方式基本表现为协同作用.此外,MTBE和雌二醇的单一毒性和联合毒性数据随着培养时间的变化而产生剧烈变化,毒性数据在培养时间3～7d比较平稳,在4～5d最佳.
