Adsorption of Mn2+ from aqueous solution using Fe and Mn oxide-coated sand

The adsorption of Mn²⁺ onto immobilized Mn-oxide and Fe-oxide adsorbent such as manganese oxide-coated sand1 (MOCS1), manganese oxide-coated sand2 (MOCS2), iron oxide-coated sand2 (IOCS2), and manganese and iron oxide-coated sand (MIOCS) was investigated. The effects of pH (5.5 to 8.0) and temperature (25 to 45℃) on the equilibrium capacity were examined. Equilibrium studies showed that there is a good fit with both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm, which indicates surface heterogeneity and monolayer adsorption of the adsorbents. Kinetic data showed high correlation with the pseudo second-order model, which signifies a chemisorption-controlled mechanism. The activation energies, activation parameters (ΔG^*, ΔH^*, ΔS^*), and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG⁰, ΔH⁰, ΔS⁰) confirmed that adsorption with MIOCS was endothermic and more spontaneous at higher temperature while an opposite trend was observed for the other adsorbents. Thermodynamic studies showed that adsorption involved formation of activated complex, where MOCS1 and MIOCS follow a physical-chemical mechanism, while MOCS2 and IOCS2 follows purely chemical mechanism.

盐度对准好氧矿化垃圾生物反应器渗滤液处理及N2O产生的影响

准好氧矿化垃圾生物反应器对渗滤液具有良好的脱氮效果,但在硝化反硝化过程中有强温室气体N2O的产生.本文主要研究了不同回灌渗滤液盐度(7~30 g·L-1)对准好氧矿化垃圾生物反应器渗滤液处理及N2O产生的影响.结果表明,进水盐度的增加对COD去除效果影响较小,其去除率始终大于85%;然而盐度对氮污染物去除效果的影响较大.NH+4-N和TN的去除率由7 g·L-1时的98.23%、91.48%下降至30 g·L-1时的31.75%、34.24%.此外,盐度在30 g·L-1时,出现了显著的NO-2-N积累现象.盐度对硝化、反硝化细菌均有不同的抑制作用,其中,对硝化菌的抑制作用大于反硝化菌.随着盐度的增加,N2O产生量大幅增加,在盐度为30 g·L-1时N2O产生量最高,为1 397μg±369.88μg,占TN去除总量的8.87‰,是低盐度条件下(7~20 g·L-1)的6~117倍,单周期内N2O产生峰值随着盐度增加呈延后趋势.从上述实验结果可知,渗滤液回灌处理时,进水盐度过高会影响脱氮效果及N2O释放.可见,盐度是渗滤液回灌时重要的控制因素.     

纳米氧化铜颗粒和环丙沙星对好氧颗粒污泥的协同胁迫效应

纳米颗粒和抗生素在污水处理厂中的共同存在可产生综合毒性.选择纳米氧化铜颗粒(CuO NPs)和环丙沙星(CIP)作为纳米颗粒和抗生素的代表性物质,探究了CuO NPs和CIP共存胁迫对好氧颗粒污泥(AGS)系统的运行性能、污泥特性和微生物群落的长期影响.结果表明:CuO NPs单独胁迫使脱氮性能轻微提高,对碳和磷的去除性能轻微下降.CIP单独胁迫显著抑制了碳、氮和磷的去除性能.CuO NPs和CIP共存时对碳、氮和磷去除表现出明显的协同抑制效应.CuO NPs和CIP共存胁迫使细胞膜完整性下降,乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)释放量增多,胞外聚合物(EPS)分泌增强,且溶解性EPS(S-EPS)的官能团发生显著变化.CuO NPs和CIP共存胁迫改变了微生物群落结构,对生物多样性具有显著的协同抑制效应,对微生物具有较强的毒性作用.     

纳米氧化铜对镉胁迫下小油菜生理生化和重金属累积的影响

为探究纳米氧化铜（CuO NPs）在镉（Cd）胁迫下对作物生长、生理特性和重金属吸收的影响,采用水培实验,以夏绿2号小油菜为供试植物,研究了CuO NPs （0、10、20和50 mg ·L^-1）和Cd （0、1和5 μmol ·L^-1）单一和复配处理下小油菜鲜重、光合色素、丙二醛含量（MDA）、抗氧化酶活性［过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）］以及Cu和Cd含量.结果表明,在单一CuO NPs处理下,小油菜鲜重以及CAT、POD、GR酶活性总体上受到抑制,叶绿素含量和SOD活性随浓度增加呈现出先增加后降低趋势,而小油菜叶部、根部MDA含量以及亚细胞中Cu含量随投加量增加而增加.1 μmol ·L^-1Cd处理下,添加CuO NPs促进了小油菜生长,鲜重较对照增加了8.70%~44.87%,当Cd浓度达到5 μmol ·L^-1时,低浓度CuO NPs （10 mg ·L^-1）处理表现为促进植物生长,高浓度（50 mg ·L^-1）处理则呈抑制效应.不同Cd处理下添加CuO NPs均提高了小油菜的光合色素和MDA含量,其中小油菜叶部MDA含量较对照增加了4.34%~36.27%,根部MDA含量增加了13.43%~131.04%.Cd浓度为1 μmol ·L^-1处理下施加CuO NPs后,小油菜叶部CAT和GR活性均下降,POD活性上升;当Cd浓度达到5 μmol ·L^-1时,CuO NPs提高了小油菜叶部POD活性,抑制了SOD和GR活性,CAT活性随浓度升高呈现先上升后下降的趋势.CuO NPs与Cd表现出拮抗作用,添加CuO NPs后,1 μmol ·L^-1 Cd处理下小油菜叶部和根部Cd含量最大降幅分别为45.64%和33.39%,5 μmol ·L^-1 Cd处理下叶部和根部Cd含量最大降幅分别为18.25%和25.35%,小油菜亚细胞器中Cu和Cd质量分数下降,可溶性组分质量分数上升.综上所述,低浓度下CuO NPs可以促进Cd胁迫下植物生长,抑制植物对Cd吸收,但会增加植物氧化损伤.     

不同沉淀pH值条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附作用

研究了沉淀pH值分别为4.8、8.0和10.6条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附作用,结果表明,共存的Na~+仅仅略微促进了沉淀pH值为4.8和8.0时所得水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附,却明显促进了沉淀pH值为10.6时所得水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附.共存的Ca~(2+)仅仅略微促进了沉淀pH值为4.8时水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附,却极大地促进了沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附.共存的HCO_3~-和SO_4~(2-)抑制了水合氧化锆对磷酸盐的吸附,且它们对沉淀pH值为4.8时水合氧化锆吸磷的抑制作用明显大于对沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时水合氧化锆的抑制作用.不同沉淀pH值条件下制备的水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附能力均随着溶液pH值的增加而降低.不同沉淀pH值条件下所得水合氧化锆对水中磷酸盐的吸附平衡数据可以采用Langmuir、Freundlich和Dubinin-Redushckevich(D-R)等温吸附模型加以描述.存在Na+而不存在Ca~(2+)情况下,3种不同沉淀pH值条件下所得水合氧化锆对中性溶液中磷酸盐的最大单层吸附容量差别不大;存在Ca~(2+)情况下,沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时所得水合氧化锆对中性溶液中磷酸盐的最大单层吸附容量远远高于沉淀pH值为4.8时制备的水合氧化锆.沉淀pH值为4.8和8.0时所得水合氧化锆的吸磷机制主要是表面氯和羟基基团与磷酸盐之间的配位体交换作用,而沉淀pH值为10.6时所得水合氧化锆的吸磷机制主要是表面羟基基团与磷酸盐之间的配位体交换作用.以上研究结果显示,与沉淀pH值为4.8时制备的水合氧化锆相比,沉淀pH值为8.0和10.6时制备的水合氧化锆更加适合作为吸附剂去除废水中的磷酸盐.

Integrated removal of NO and mercury from coal combustion flue gas using manganese oxides supported on TiO2

A catalyst composed of manganese oxides supported on titania(MnO_x/TiO_2) synthesized by a sol–gel method was selected to remove nitric oxide and mercury jointly at a relatively low temperature in simulated flue gas from coal-fired power plants. The physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were investigated by X-ray fluorescence(XRF), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analyses, etc. The effects of Mn loading,reaction temperature and individual flue gas components on denitration and Hg~0 removal were examined. The results indicated that the optimal Mn/Ti molar ratio was 0.8 and the best working temperature was 240°C for NO conversion. O_2 and a proper ratio of [NH_3]/[NO]are essential for the denitration reaction. Both NO conversion and Hg~0 removal efficiency could reach more than 80% when NO and Hg~0 were removed simultaneously using Mn0.8 Tiat 240°C.Hg~0 removal efficiency slightly declined as the Mn content increased in the catalysts. The reaction temperature had no significant effect on Hg~0 removal efficiency. O_2 and HCl had a promotional effect on Hg~0 removal. SO2 and NH_3were observed to weaken Hg~0 removal because of competitive adsorption. NO first facilitated Hg~0 removal and then had an inhibiting effect as NO concentration increased without O_2, and it exhibited weak inhibition of Hg~0 removal efficiency in the presence of O_2. The oxidation of Hg~0 on Mn O x/TiO_2 follows the Mars–Maessen and Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanisms.
