溶液环境对纳米Fe_2O_3/水界面NOM吸附过程中疏水效应的影响

以腐殖酸和纳米Fe2O3为对象,着重研究了腐殖酸分子在纳米Fe2O3表面的吸附过程中的疏水效应,借助红外光谱和热重等分析方法研究了腐殖酸吸附前后的疏水性随溶液环境变化的规律。结果表明,当离子强度为0、0.005、0.01和0.05 mol/kg,pH从7变到12时,纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的热失重量随着pH的升高先减小后增大。当pH从7升高到10时,亲水性降低,疏水性增强;当pH从10升高到12时,亲水性增强,疏水性降低。当离子强度为0.001 mol/kg,pH从7变到12时,复合体的热失重量随着pH的升高而减小,亲水性降低,疏水性增强。当pH为定值,离子强度变化时,纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的热失重量随着离子强度的增加不断变化,曲线呈现出波动趋势,亲、疏水性在交替变化。红外光谱分析结果说明,对纳米Fe2O3吸附溶解性腐殖酸分子后形成的复合体的亲疏水性起主要影响的官能团可能是亲水性的羟基—OH、羰基CO和疏水性的CH2烷烃。     

Release of silver nanoparticles from outdoor facades

In this study we investigate the release of metallic silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) from paints used for outdoor applications. A facade panel mounted on a model house was exposed to ambient weather conditions over a period of one year. The runoff volume of individual rain events was determined and the silver and titanium concentrations of 36 out of 65 runoff events were measured. Selected samples were prepared for electron microscopic analysis. A strong leaching of the Ag-NP was observed during the initial runoff events with a maximum concentration of 145 μ Ag/l. After a period of one year, more than 30% of the Ag-NP were released to the environment. Particles were mostly <15 nm and are released as composite colloids attached to the organic binders of the paint. Microscopic results indicate that the Ag-NP are likely transformed to considerably less toxic forms such as Ag₂S.

ZnO nanoparticles induced cytotoxicity on human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line LTEP-a-2

Novel nanoparticles (NPs) such as zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs are widely produced and applied in our daily lives at a rapid pace. Thus, the toxicity of ZnO NPs should be monitored as an important standard for environmental risk assessment. Here we assessed the in vitro cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs on human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells LTEP-a-2 by tetrazolium salt colorimetric assay of cell proliferation in the presence or absence of ZnO NPs. ZnO NPs-induced morphological changes in LTEP-a-2 cells were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism by which ZnO NPs impose the cytotoxic effect was investigated by a combination of active oxygen test, lactose dehydrogenase-release assay, and apoptosis detection. Results showed that ZnO NPs significantly inhibited the proliferation and induced evident morphological changes (cell shrinkage and chromosome condensation) in LTEP-a-2 cells. Additionally, ZnO NPs increased the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species and induced the formation of apoptotic vesicles as well as the lysis of cell nuclei. Zn²⁺ ions released from ZnO NPs into aqueous solution are important components that exert cytotoxic effects on LTEP-a-2 cells. This study provides new insights to the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs against human health.     

小麦和水稻对纳米硒的吸收和转运

通过水培试验,研究了不同粒径纳米硒(Se NPs)和不同p H条件对小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)及水稻(Oryza sativa L.)吸收、转运硒的影响.结果表明,小麦和水稻对不同粒径(50、100和150 nm) Se NPs的吸收规律不同. 24 h和72 h处理下,小麦根系对3种粒径Se NPs的吸收无显著差异,但其地上部中的硒含量(以干重计,下同)在50 nm Se NPs处理下达到最高,分别为(1. 89±0. 47)μg·g-1和(5. 18±1. 51)μg·g-1.硒在小麦体内的转运系数也在50 nm Se NPs处理24 h时显著高于其他粒径Se NPs处理2. 38倍(P 0. 05).对于水稻而言,50 nm Se NPs处理24 h时根系中的硒含量分别比100 nm和150 nm Se NPs处理增加了11. 18%和41. 81%,但在72 h时3种粒径Se NPs处理间根系对硒的吸收无显著差异.同时,硒在水稻中的地上部含量和转运系数也在50 nm Se NPs处理达到了最大值.另外,p H条件也会影响植物对硒的吸收和转运. Se NPs处理24h时,小麦根系在p H为6时对硒的吸收量最大,并高于亚硒酸盐处理89. 47%,但在p H为4时小麦对硒的转运能力最强.水稻在p H较低时(p H为3. 5和5. 5),对Se NPs的吸收量显著低于亚硒酸盐,且Se NPs在p H为3. 5时更易转运.以上结果表明水稻和小麦均可以吸收Se NPs,并且在p H较低的环境下Se NPs粒径越小越容易在植物体内转运.

研究了不同类型大孔隙对纳米CeO_2在石英砂柱中迁移的影响,并运用两区物理化学非平衡模型对纳米CeO_2流出曲线进行拟合和参数估算.结果表明,含横孔(垂直水流运动方向)石英砂柱中纳米CeO_2的流出曲线与均匀石英砂柱十分接近,横孔对于纳米CeO_2在石英砂介质中的迁移影响较弱.与均匀石英砂柱相比,含竖孔(平行水流运动方向)石英砂柱中纳米CeO_2流出曲线明显不同于均匀石英砂柱,其初始穿透时间明显提前,初始穿透浓度和初始回收率显著增加,竖孔对于纳米CeO_2在石英砂介质中的迁移起促进作用,特别是贯通竖孔.两区物理化学非平衡模型可以很好地拟合纳米CeO_2在含有大孔隙石英砂柱中的迁移.通过分析模型参数质量交换系数(ωph、αch)和分配系数(Kd)得出,含横孔石英砂柱中纳米CeO_2在两区间的质量交换能力和吸附作用较强,而含有竖孔石英砂柱中纳米CeO_2在两区间的质量交换能力和吸附作用较弱.     

Comparative study of leaching of silver nanoparticles from fabric and effective effluent treatment

Nano silver (Ag_n) is employed as an active antimicrobial agent, but the environmental impact of Ag_n released from commercial products is unknown. The quantity of nanomaterial released from consumer products during use should be determined to assess the environmental risks of advancement of nanotechnology. This work investigated the amount of silver released from three different types of fabric into water during washing. Three different types of fabric were loaded with chemically synthesized Ag nanoparticles and washed repeatedly under simulated washing conditions. Variable leaching rates among fabric types suggest that the manufacturing process may control the release of silver reaching the waste water treatment plants. In an attempt to recover the Ag_n for reutilization and to save it from polluting water, the effluents from the wash were efficiently treated with bacterial strains. This treatment was based on biosorption and was very efficient for the elimination of silver nanoparticles in the wash water. The process ensured the recovery of the Ag_n leached into the effluent for reutilization, thus preventing environmental repercussions.
