Speciation of heavy metals in estuarine sediments in the northeast of Brazil

An analytical procedure involving a three-step sequential extraction was used to determine the chemical association of heavy metals (Zn, Cr, Mn and Fe) with the major phases (exchangable, reducible and oxidizable) in samples from a fishpond of estuarine sediments. The pond is located in the Capibaribe River estuary, within the boundaries of the city of Recife, in the State of Pernambuco in the northeast of Brazil. The total metal content was determined as well. All metals were extracted from the residual fraction at a percentage greater than 50%.     

不同来源堆肥腐殖质还原菌异化铁还原能力评估与调控

通过富集不同来源堆肥过程中的腐殖质还原菌,并分析比较其异化铁还原能力差异,发现其电子转移能力从大到小依次为：蛋白类>纤维素类>木质素类.相关性分析表明,Leucobacter、Clostridium sensu stricto和Sporosarcina是极显著影响异化铁还原的腐殖质还原菌属.利用冗余分析探究关键腐殖质还原菌与堆肥过程微环境因子的响应关系,结果发现可溶性有机氮是影响这些关键腐殖质还原菌变化的主要微环境因素.在此基础上,基于堆肥微环境因子与关键腐殖质还原菌菌群结构之间的响应关系,提出一种促进异化铁还原相关的腐殖质还原菌生长的调控方法.本研究可以深入了解堆肥中影响腐殖质还原菌群落的关键因素,而且对于环境中污染物生物地球化学循环也具有重要的生态学意义.     

盐酸羟胺强化Fe(Ⅲ)-EDDS/过硫酸盐处理水溶液中TCE

采用盐酸羟胺（HAH）强化Fe（Ⅲ）-EDDS（乙二胺二琥珀酸）活化过硫酸盐（PS）体系降解水溶液中的三氯乙烯（TCE）.结果表明,Fe（Ⅲ）-EDDS/PS体系中加入HAH能够强化TCE去除效率,TCE降解效率随PS或HAH初始浓度增大而增强,但实验条件下存在最佳投加量.当溶液初始pH值为3~7时,Fe（Ⅲ）-EDDS/PS/HAH降解TCE基本没有影响,但碱性条件会抑制TCE去除,HAH强化工艺能够有效缓解Cl^-（1~100mmol/L）和低浓度HCO₃^-（1~10mmol/L）对TCE降解的抑制作用.与Fe（Ⅲ）-EDDS/PS相似,加入HAH后反应体系中存在SO₄^·-、^·OH和O₂^·-,但降解TCE的主导自由基由^·OH转变为SO₄^·-.     

CeO_2/Fe_2O_3对高浓度苯酚废水微波诱导的氧化催化

对高浓度苯酚废水提出了用复合催化剂CeO2/Fe2O3进行微波诱导催化氧化的降解方法,并与单一催化剂Fe2O3的催化氧化效果进行了比较,对两者的表观反应动力学进行了分析,结果表明复合催化剂的催化效果比单一催化剂的催化效果高15%以上,其主要原因是CeO2/Fe2O3复合物具有很强的催化能力和较高的干电流变活性,有利于电子的迁移和羟基自由基·OH的形成,从而有利于苯酚的氧化降解。

Catalytic performance of Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst in ozonation of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, nitrobenzene and oxalic acid in water

Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation using Fe(NO3) 3·9H2O and Co(NO3) 2·6H2O as the precursors,and its catalytic performance was investigated in ozonation of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid(2,4-DP) ,nitrobenzene and oxalic acid.The experimental results indicated that Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalyst enabled an interesting improvement of ozonation eciency during the degradation of each organic pollutant,and the Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalytic ozonation system followed a radical-type mechanism.The kinetics of ozonation alone and Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 catalytic ozonation of three organic pollutants in aqueous solution were discussed under the mere consideration of direct ozone reaction and OH radical reaction to well investigate its performance.In the catalytic ozonation of 2,4-DP,the apparent reaction rate constants(k) were determined to be 1.456×10-2 min-1 for ozonation alone and 4.740×10-2 min-1 for O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3.And O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 had a larger Rct(6.614×10-9) calculated by the relative method than O3 did(1.800×10-9) ,showing O3/Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 generated more hydroxyl radical.Similar results were also obtained in the catalytic ozonation of nitrobenzene and oxalic acid.The above results demonstrated that the catalytic performance of Fe3O4-CoO/Al2O3 in ozonation of studied organic substance was universal to a certain degree.     

Variations between rice cultivars in iron and manganese plaque on roots and the relation with plant cadmium uptake

To understand certain mechanisms causing variations between rice cultivars with regard to cadmium uptake and tolerance, pot soil experiments were conducted with two rice cultivars of di erent genotypes under di erent soil Cd levels. The relationships between plant Cd uptake and iron/manganese (Fe/Mn) plaque formation on roots were investigated. The results showed that rice cultivars di ered markedly in Cd uptake and tolerance. Under soil Cd treatments, Cd concentrations and accumulations in the cultivar Shanyou 63 (the genotype indica) were significantly higher than those in the cultivar Wuyunjing 7 (the genotype japonica) (P < 0.01, or P < 0.05), and Shanyou 63 was more sensitive to Cd toxicity than Wuyunjing 7. The di erences between the rice cultivars were the largest at relatively low soil Cd level (i.e., 10 mg/kg). Fe concentrations in dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate root extracts of Shanyou 63 were generally lower than that of Wuyunjing 7, and the di erence was the most significant under the treatment of 10 mg Cd/kg soil. The results indicated that the formation of iron plaque on rice roots could act as a barrier to soil Cd toxicity, and may be a “bu er” or a “reservoir” which could reduce Cd uptake into rice roots. And the plaque may contribute, to some extent, to the genotypic di erences of rice cultivars in Cd uptake and tolerance.
