Fe2+与Fe0活化过二硫酸盐降解活性艳蓝KN-R

为了解Fe2+与Fe0在活化PDS(过二硫酸盐)降解活性艳蓝KN-R时的差异,通过序批试验,考察了Fe2+/PDS和Fe0/PDS体系中c(Fe2+)、ρ(Fe0)、c(PDS)和初始pH对KN-R降解的影响. 结果表明:在Fe2+/PDS体系中,最佳反应条件〔初始pH为3.0,c(Fe2+)为1.0 mmol/L,c(PDS)为2.0 mmol/L〕下,180 min后KN-R的去除率达到96.55%;过高的pH和c(Fe2+)对KN-R的降解均有明显的抑制作用. 在Fe0/PDS体系中,当pH和ρ(Fe0)过高时,KN-R的去除率仍维持在较高水平,当pH为9.0时,180 min后KN-R的去除率为90.53%;当ρ(Fe0)为448 mg/L时,50 min后KN-R的去除率就能达到94.35%. 在2个体系中,c(PDS)的升高均能显著提高KN-R的去除率,当c(PDS)由0.5 mmol/L增至8.0 mmol/L时,KN-R的去除率由47.25%(Fe2+/PDS体系)和57.00%(Fe0/PDS体系)增至100%. 动力学分析显示,KN-R的降解均遵循一级反应动力学;最佳反应条件下2个体系中的活性自由基均以硫酸根自由基(SO₄-·)为主. 因此,在降解KN-R过程中,Fe0/PDS体系的性能明显优于Fe2+/PDS体系.

Steam activation,characterisation and adsorption studies of activated carbon from maize tassels

In this paper, steam-produced activated carbon (STAC) from maize tassel (MT) was evaluated for its ability to remove basic dye (methylene blue MB) from aqueous solution in a batch adsorption process. The equilibrium experiments were conducted in the range of 50–300 mg/L initial MB concentrations at 30°C, for effect of pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time. The experimental data were analysed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models of adsorption. Freundlich adsorption isotherm was found to have highest value of R²(R²=0.97) compared to other models of Langmuir and Temkin having (0.96 and 0.95 respectively). STAC has a high adsorptive capacity for MB dye (200 mg/g) and also showed favourable adsorption for the dye with the separation factor (R_L<1) for the dye-activated carbon system. The kinetic data obtained were analysed using pseudo first-order kinetic equation and pseudo second-order kinetic equation. The experimental data fitted well into pseudo second-order kinetic equation, as demonstrated by the high value of R².     

Ethyl mercury induces Ca2+ uptake through the P2×7 receptor in a mouse cerebellar microglia cell line

Many observations are reported that organic mercury compounds are involved in increasing intracellular Ca²⁺ levels. However, the issue of which substances on the cell membrane participate in the Ca²⁺ uptake that is induced by ethyl mercury is unclear. The findings of this study suggest that the P2X receptor participates in this process. The uptake of Ca²⁺ by C8-B4 cells was induced in the presence of ethyl mercury. Ca channels in the cell membrane were not affected in this process. In contrast, pretreatment with suramin, an antagonist of the P2X receptor, inhibited the Ca²⁺ uptake induced by ethyl mercury, and also brilliant blue G, a nonselective antagonist of P2×4, P2×5, and P2×7 receptors. In addition, A438079 and A740003, selective antagonists of P2×7 receptor, reduced Ca²⁺ uptake, while 5-BDBD, a selective antagonist of P2×4 receptor, did not. Furthermore, the mRNAs of both the P2×4 and P2×7 receptors were expressed in the presence of ethyl mercury, but the P2×5 receptor mRNA was not. These findings suggest that ethyl mercury may induce Ca²⁺ uptake through the P2×7 receptor of the cell membrane.     

Iron-doped copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate as photo-Fenton catalyst for degradation of methylene blue

Abstract

A metal-organic framework of iron-doped copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate was synthesized and, for the first time, utilized as a heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for degradation of methylene blue dye in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The synthesized materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The influence factors, kinetics, and stability of the synthesized catalysts were investigated in detail. Iron-doped copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate showed higher degradation efficiency than pure copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate. An almost complete degradation was achieved within 70?min under visible light irradiation at a solution pH of 6, a catalyst loading of 1?g?L^?1, a H₂O₂ dosage of 0.05?mol L^?1 and methylene blue concentration of 50?mg?L^?1. Recycling studies demonstrated that the iron-doped copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate is a promising heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for long-term removal of methylene blue dye from industrial wastewater.     

Modeling and optimization of Nile blue sulfate mineralization by heterogeneous fenton oxidation

Artificial neural network and response surface methodology have been used to develop a model for simulation and optimization of the removal of Nile blue sulfate by heterogeneous Fenton oxidation. Experimental data were used to train an artificial neural network model with linear transfer function at the output layer and a tangent sigmoid transfer function at the hidden layer. A Box–Behnken design was employed to assess the effects of input process parameters on the total organic carbon removal. First order kinetics and lumped kinetics models were used to describe the reaction; a high regression coefficient indicated that the latter fitted best. The formation of non-oxidizable compounds was shown by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry.     

Acute nitrate poisoning in two cattle

Abstract

The rate and product composition during photooxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, o‐, m‐, p‐xylene and cumene) dissolved in n‐hexane and spread as a liquid film on water is reported. The photo degradability of these chemicals is 10–20%. The products identified are oxygenated aromatic compounds. It is observed that the absorption bands of the compounds under investigation depend upon the partial pressure of dissolved oxygen and these bands extend up to 290 nm. The new absorption band around 290 nm is probably due to broadening of ¹L_b bands which is responsible for direct photolysis.

Adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution by chemically treated water hyacinth

Water hyacinth (WH), an aquatic plant macrophyte, was investigated for its ability to perform as a suitable adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The non-living biomass of WH was subjected to several chemical treatments, namely, washing with hot water, washing with hot dilute HCl, soaking in NaOH, soaking in HNO₃, and sulfonation. The system variables studied also include pH and MB concentration. The Langmuir isotherm was found to represent the measured adsorption data well except for WH soaked in NaOH, which was found to be better represented by the Freundlich isotherm. Values of the dimensionless separation factor, K _R, indicated that the adsorption systems in this study are all favorable. Values of the first layer of adsorption were calculated by the non-linear multilayer adsorption model, and the specific surface area values were found to be high and comparable to commercially activated carbons.
