Biosorption of uranium by chemically modified Rhodotorula glutinis

The present paper reports the biosorption of uranium onto chemically modified yeast cells, Rhodotorula glutinis, in order to study the role played by various functional groups in the cell wall. Esterification of the carboxyl groups and methylation of the amino groups present in the cells were carried out by methanol and formaldehyde treatment, respectively. The uranium sorption capacity increased 31% for the methanol-treated biomass and 11% for the formaldehyde-treated biomass at an initial uranium concentration of 140 mg/L. The enhancement of uranium sorption capacity was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis, with amino and carboxyl groups were determined to be the important functional groups involved in uranium binding. The biosorption isotherms of uranium onto the raw and chemically modified biomass were also investigated with varying uranium concentrations. Langmuir and Freundlich models were well able to explain the sorption equilibrium data with satisfactory correlation coefficients higher than 0.9.

生物炭改良盐碱地研究与应用进展

盐碱地作为21世纪严重威胁粮食产量的农田问题土壤之一,分布广泛,具有极大的开发潜力.生物炭作为高效的新型土壤改良剂,在缓解土壤酸碱障碍、土壤污染治理、碳封存和肥料缓释等方面发挥了重要作用,有力地推动了盐碱地农业的可持续发展.近年来,关于生物炭改良盐碱地的研究和应用备受关注.但由于生物炭来源、结构和组分的复杂性和非均质性,其对盐碱地的改良效果存在极大的不确定,也缺乏关键机制的系统总结和深度探讨,这限制了生物炭技术在盐碱地改良中的进一步推广和应用.通过综合分析生物炭对盐碱地土壤理化性质、养分有效性和生物特征的影响,归纳总结生物炭和改性生物炭对盐碱地的改良效果及其提质增效作用,阐明生物炭在盐碱地改良中存在的可能机制,并对未来研究方向进行了展望,可为进一步研发绿色高效精准的盐碱地生物炭改良技术及其推广应用提供参考.

Ceramic water filter for point-of-use water treatment in developing countries: Principles,challenges and opportunities

• CWF is a sustainable POU water treatment method for developing areas. • CWF manufacturing process is critical for its filtration performance. • Simultaneous increase of flow rate and pathogen removal is a challenge. • Control of pore size distribution holds promises to improve CWF efficiency. • Novel coatings of CWFs are a promising method to improve contaminant removal. Drinking water source contamination poses a great threat to human health in developing countries. Point-of-use (POU) water treatment techniques, which improve drinking water quality at the household level, offer an affordable and convenient way to obtain safe drinking water and thus can reduce the outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Ceramic water filters (CWFs), fabricated from locally sourced materials and manufactured by local labor, are one of the most socially acceptable POU water treatment technologies because of their effectiveness, low-cost and ease of use. This review concisely summarizes the critical factors that influence the performance of CWFs, including (1) CWF manufacturing process (raw material selection, firing process, silver impregnation), and (2) source water quality. Then, an in-depth discussion is presented with emphasis on key research efforts to address two major challenges of conventional CWFs, including (1) simultaneous increase of filter flow rate and bacterial removal efficiency, and (2) removal of various concerning pollutants, such as viruses and metal(loid)s. To promote the application of CWFs, future research directions can focus on: (1) investigation of pore size distribution and pore structure to achieve higher flow rates and effective pathogen removal by elucidating pathogen transport in porous ceramic and adjusting manufacture parameters; and (2) exploration of new surface modification approaches with enhanced interaction between a variety of contaminants and ceramic surfaces.
