Environmental application and ecological significance of nano-zero valent iron

Toxicity studies considering both the bare and stabilized forms of zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) could be timely, given that ecological risks identified are minimized through modification or with substitution of approaches in the synthesis, development and environmental application of the nanoparticles before succeeding to volume production. This review is focused on the fate, transport and toxicological implications of the bare nZVI and surface modified particles used for environmental applications.

铸铁管输配再生水铁溶出颗粒物特征研究

针对输配水过程中产生的"红水"现象及铁颗粒物溶出对水质的影响,开展了初步的模拟管网中试研究.实验采用内径为100 mm的铸铁管搭建了120 m长管网中试模拟系统,并以北京某再生水厂生产的再生水为水源,进行了单向连续流动和密闭循环流动模拟管网输配实验,并对管网出水水质进行了的连续跟踪监测.中试结果表明,两种方式的实验都发生了"红水"现象;出水水质的p H、总溶解性固体(TDS)、电导率及总铁都有明显升高;实验过程中得到的两种不同颜色颗粒物,它们都包括α-Fe OOH、γ-Fe OOH、Fe CO3、Fe2O3、Fe3O4及Fe O等矿物质;颗粒物颜色可能与颗粒中羟基氧化铁与碳酸亚铁的含量有关;水流速度对于管网中颗粒物的沉积和释放要一定影响;不带内衬的铸铁管不适合作为输配腐蚀性极强水质再生水的管材.     

生物表面活性剂改性对纳米铁/炭去除地下水中NO3--N的影响

纳米铁由于其反应活性强、来源广泛等优点被广泛应用在去除地下水NO-3-N污染中.利用生物表面活性剂对纳米铁进行改性可以避免采用化学表面活性剂改性对环境造成的二次污染.本研究采用鼠李糖脂、茶皂素、无患子3种生物表面活性剂对纳米铁进行改性后附着在活性炭上构成改性纳米铁/炭复合材料,通过批试验、沉降试验、迁移试验等研究生物表面活性剂对纳米铁/炭复合材料的改性作用.结果表明:鼠李糖脂、茶皂素、无患子对纳米铁/炭改性后去除NO-3-N效果最佳时的投加量分别为0.7%、1.0%、0.7%,此时对比三者改性作用,鼠李糖脂改性纳米铁/炭去除NO-3-N效果最佳,无患子改性纳米铁/炭迁移效果最佳;鼠李糖脂投加量在0.1%到1.3%范围内时,改性纳米铁/炭迁移能力随投加量的增加而增大.     

塔儿山铁矿区土壤重金属污染评价及来源分析

通过采样分析山西省临汾市塔儿山铁矿区土壤中重金属元素的含量,揭示塔儿山铁矿区土壤中重金属污染的程度和来源,为矿区土壤污染治理修复提供参考依据。在尾矿区、复垦区、当地原始农业土壤区、处理污灌农地土区分别随机采集土壤样品,并进行9种重金属含量测定,采用地累积指数法和变异系数进行污染等级评价分析,并测定了土壤p H值。矿区As、Se、Zn、Pb 4种元素达到强度污染标准,Cd、Cr、Cu、Ni 4种元素为轻中度污染,无Hg元素污染;铁矿区土壤的p H值高于8.0,属于强碱性,不利于农作物的正常生长发育。粗放的铁矿开采活动是产生重金属污染的主要原因。

Biogeochemistry of two types of permeable reactive barriers, organic carbon and iron-bearing organic carbon for mine drainage treatment: Column experiments

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are an alternative technology to treat mine drainage containing sulfate and heavy metals. Two column experiments were conducted to assess the suitability of an organic carbon (OC) based reactive mixture and an Fe⁰-bearing organic carbon (FeOC) based reactive mixture, under controlled groundwater flow conditions. The organic carbon mixture contains about 30% (volume) organic carbon (composted leaf mulch) and 70% (volume) sand and gravel. The Fe⁰-bearing organic carbon mixture contains 10% (volume) zero-valent iron, 20% (volume) organic carbon, 10% (volume) limestone, and 60% (volume) sand and gravel. Simulated groundwater containing 380 ppm sulfate, 5 ppm As, and 0.5 ppm Sb was passed through the columns at flow rates of 64 (the OC column) and 62 (the FeOC column) ml d^− 1, which are equivalent to 0.79 (the OC column) and 0.78 (the FeOC column) pore volumes (PVs) per week or 0.046 m d^− 1 for both columns. The OC column showed an initial sulfate reduction rate of 0.4 µmol g (OC)^− 1 d^− 1 and exhausted its capacity to promote sulfate reduction after 30 PVs, or 9 months of flow. The FeOC column sustained a relatively constant sulfate reduction rate of 0.9 µmol g (OC)^− 1 d^− 1 for at least 65 PVs (17 months). In the FeOC column, the δ³⁴S values increase with the decreasing sulfate concentration. The δ³⁴S fractionation follows a Rayleigh fractionation model with an enrichment factor of 21.6‰. The performance decline of the OC column was caused by the depletion of substrate or electron donor. The cathodic production of H₂ by anaerobic corrosion of Fe probably sustained a higher level of SRB activity in the FeOC column. These results suggest that zero-valent iron can be used to provide an electron donor in sulfate reducing PRBs. A sharp increase in the δ¹³C value of the dissolved inorganic carbon and a decrease in the concentration of HCO₃⁻ indicate that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis is occurring in the first 15 cm of the FeOC column.     

The European Conformity Assessment Procedures and the Quality Assurance Instruments for Personal Protective Equipment in the Internal Market

Conformity assessment procedures prescribed by European legislation are presented and their concrete implementation is illustrated by the example of personal protective equipment (PPE). The different categories of PPE defined by Council Directive 89/686/EEC are explained with reference to the applicable conformity assessment elements. Quality assurance of production is presented as the central element of the conformity assessment procedure for complex PPE. Special emphasis is put on the necessity of having a regular exchange of views and information among notified bodies in Europe. Ways in which third countries can eventually carry out conformity assessment on the basis of a contract with the European Community Commission are explained.
