Sorption of heavy metals in strongly weathered soils: an overview

Current knowledge of sorption processes in tropical soils is reviewed. Landscapes throughout the tropics are dominated by oxisols which occupy extensive areas of potentially highly productive soils. These soils are dominated by low-activity sesquioxide minerals and clays that have variable charge surfaces. The limited information on tropical soils available suggests that the composition of the ambient soil solution can influence sorption through changes in particle surface-charge density. Thus the observed decrease in sorption in the presence of divalent index cations may be related to the effect of ionic charge on the double-layer thickness which is manifested through a change in surface-charge characteristics. However, much work needs to be done to differentiate the effect of cation charge on surface-charge density from the competitive effect between the index cation and heavy-metal ions for the sorption sites. The effects of inorganic and organic ligands on adsorption of Cd by variable charge surfaces are also reviewed.     

The enantiomeric composition of monoterpene hydrocarbons in the defensive secretions ofNasutitermes termites (Isoptera): Inter- and intraspecific variations

Summary Frontal gland secretions of termite soldiers of the speciesNasutitermes costalis, N. ephratae, N. nigriceps, N. rippertii, andN. hubbardii were analyzed. The chiral compositions of the monoterpene hydrocarbons were investigated by means of two-dimensional gas chromatography. Two of them, 3-carene and-pinene were present in the form of (–)-enantiomers of high purity in the majority of the samples. The other monoterpenes,-pinene, camphene, sabinene, limonene, and-phellandrene, exhibited a great variation in the enantiopurity between different species.-Pinene and limonene varied significantly even between different colonies within the species.N. costalis was the only species with an invariable composition of the secretion, independent of the locality or origin.

餐厨垃圾干式厌氧消化过程流变特性变化及其对反应器流场的影响

餐厨垃圾的有机组成是影响其干式厌氧消化性能的重要因素。以实际餐厨垃圾为研究对象,通过向其中投加馒头改变其有机组成,进而研究不同有机组成下物料厌氧消化过程中的流变特性变化及产甲烷特性。结果表明,不同有机组成物料的甲烷产气量与其粘度具有一定的负相关关系,表明物料流动性的提高有助于其产甲烷效率的提高。而物料流变特性的差异则主要可归因于TS、VS以及溶解性有机物释放的差异。物料的屈服应力与其TS、VS具有一定的线性相关关系。CFD模拟结果表明,随着厌氧消化的进行,反应器内流场逐渐变好,死区率降低,且死区率与物料TS质量分数、屈服应力及表观粘度呈正相关关系。因此,针对不同有机组成物料流变特性及反应器流场的不同需选取合适的搅拌策略,以实现搅拌效率与搅拌能耗之间的平衡。本研究结果可为优化干式厌氧消化反应器的运行提供参考。

Protein and amino acid composition of the tergal gland secretions ofBlatta orientalis andEurycotis floridana (Dictyoptera: Blattidae)

Summary Nymphs and adult females ofBlatta orientalis and nymphs ofEurycotis floridana produce a proteinaceous sticky secretion which accumulates on the last abdominal tergites. The proteic patterns do not differ between individuals of the same species. HPLC analyses show that all the common amino acids are found in both species, aspartic and glutamic acids representing 24 to 37% of the total amount of amino acids. InB. orientalis, glutamic acid is the more abundant amino acid whereas inE. floridana it is the aspartic acid. The secretion appears and accumulates rapidly on isolated insects. Behavioural assays revealed that these secretions have a defensive role.
