新型填料特性及其在生物脱硫中的应用

为解决生物脱硫反应器酸化问题,研制出一种具有pH缓冲能力的生物填料。填料主要由碳酸钙﹑纯丙乳液和羟丙基纤维素制得。填料在水中浸泡6个月不会分解,吸水率大于20%。考察填料pH缓冲能力,结果表明,填料能将pH=5.0水溶液调节至pH=6.5以上。选取缓冲能力较稳定的BT50填料填充于反应器,以排硫硫杆菌(Thiobacillus thio-parus)挂膜,5个循环后反应器有效体积内的最大固定化菌体数量约为5.86×108cells/mL,并且硫代硫酸钠的消耗速率基本稳定,表明该填料可用于生物挂膜。在长达50 d脱硫实验中,H2S脱除率均在95%以上,整个脱硫阶段不再加入任何pH调节剂,反应器内pH仍能维持在6.7～7.1之间。     

地下水修复系统中释氧材料的改进及pH调控

在采用释氧材料的地下水污染修复系统中,释氧材料提供溶解氧的同时,往往造成体系pH的升高。针对这一问题,将过氧化钙(CaO2)、水泥、河沙、膨润土和KH2PO4按一定比例混合在一起制作了3种释氧材料,并在柱实验中观测了不同释氧材料对水体溶解氧(DO)及pH值的影响。实验数据表明,水泥对释氧材料的缓释作用明显,有助于保证释氧速率平稳,避免由于释氧材料反应过快所带来的高pH问题;在释氧材料中添加一定量KH2PO4(质量分数小于10%),可以起到缓冲体系pH值的作用,并且不会造成修复系统磷污染;电气石具有降低溶液高pH值的作用,以粒径为1～2 mm的电气石作缓冲介质可以将体系pH值由11.3降至10.2。     

山阴地区浅层沉积物中砷的分布特征及吸附行为

本文通过室内实验的方法,对山阴高砷地下水地区不同浅层沉积物中砷的分布特征及吸附行为进行了研究。结果表明：研究区内饮用水浓度高,病情重。浅层承压含水层中的砷含量平均值为290 mg/kg,在17.4～22.7 m段的平均值达643 mg/kg,22.7～25.8 m段的平均值为115 mg/kg,25.8 m以下的平均值为212 mg/kg。As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）在4种沉积物表面上的动力学吸附过程均符合Lagergren模型,相关系数达0.9以上。沉积物对As（Ⅴ）的吸附速率较As（Ⅲ）快,但As（Ⅲ）在沉积物中的吸附比As（Ⅴ）稳定。4种含水层介质对As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附速率依次为粘土〉亚粘土〉粉砂〉中砂。吸附动力学吸附过程符合二级速率方程。Freundlich方程和Langmuir方程对As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附过程拟合性最佳,相关系数均在0.95以上。沉积物对As（Ⅲ）吸附的最佳pH在7～8范围内,As（Ⅴ）吸附的最佳pH在5～6左右。此外,沉积物对砷的吸附性能主要受沉积物颗粒大小、矿物成分等因素综合作用的影响,而非各组分吸附砷的简单加和。     

臭氧-生物活性炭净水工艺处理苯酚污染的应急效果及影响因素分析

考虑到突发性水污染中有毒有机物的高频现率,选用苯酚为有毒有机物代表,通过模拟突发苯酚污染的情况,研究了臭氧-生物活性炭(O3-BAC)工艺对苯酚污染的应急处理效果,并且分析了工程中实际环境因素如空床接触时间(EBCT)、pH值对该应急能力的影响.研究表明,在突发性苯酚污染的应急处理中,0.6 mg/L的臭氧可将初始苯酚浓度5倍于达标浓度的进水处理至饮用水达标浓度,即低于0.002 mg/L,15.3 min的空床接触时间是判定其是否为该应急过程的关键因素的分界点,为了取得较好的应急效果,可适当提高进水pH值.     

pH值对土壤吸附铜的影响分析

随着社会经济的不断进步,土壤中重金属污染问题日趋严峻,土壤中重金属污染已经受到政府相关部门和一些研究人员的高度重视。本文运用化学分析的方法研究了土壤对金属铜的吸附作用。研究土壤吸附铜的速率的方法是根据所做实验的数据进而绘制吸附量与时间之间的变化曲线,通过所得到的曲线斜率来探讨吸附动力学过程。通过实验分析我们得知:pH对土壤吸附铜的影响达到了显著水平,当其他的条件相同、土壤自身的pH增加时,土壤对铜的吸附量也随着增加,加入液pH为5.5时的吸附量显著高于pH为2.5的吸附量。表明土壤对铜的吸附作用受酸度影响较为明显,在酸度增加的情况下,土壤对铜的吸附降低,使得铜从土壤中解吸出来,进入水体对环境造成危害。因此,我们要提高预防酸雨等环境问题,防止酸雨使得土壤中重金属进入到水体。     

Biodegradation of α and β isomers of endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate in Indian soils

Abstract

The degradation of α and β isomers of endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate in four sterilized and non sterilized Indian soils under laboratory conditions was studied. Degradation was found to be more in non‐sterilized as compared to the sterilized soil. The half life of α‐endosulphan, β‐endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate was found to be 136.8, 273 and 301 days in sterilized Alfisol and 55, 256 and 277 days in non‐sterilized Alfisol, respectively. α‐Endosulphan degraded more readily than β‐endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate under both sterilized and non‐sterilized soil conditions.     

Mercury in certain boletus mushrooms from Poland and Belarus

This paper reports the results of the study of Hg contents of four species of Boletus mushroom (Boletus reticulatus Schaeff. 1763, B. pinophilus Pilát & Dermek 1973, B. impolitus Fr. 1838 and B. luridus Schaeff. 1774) and the surface soils (0–10 cm layer, ～100 g) samples beneath the mushrooms from ten forested areas in Poland and Belarus by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy. The ability of the species to bioconcentrate Hg was calculated (as the BCF) while Hg intakes from consumption of these mushroom species were also estimated. The median Hg content of the caps of the species varied between 0.38 and 4.7 mg kg^?1 dm; in stipes between 0.13 and 2.5 mg kg^?1 dm and in the mean Hg contents of soils varied from 0.020 ± 0.01 mg kg^?1 dm to 0.17 ± 0.10 mg kg^?1 dm which is considered as “background” Hg level. The median Hg content of caps of B. reticulatus and B. pinophilus were up to 4.7 and 3.6 mg kg^?1 dm, respectively, and they very efficiently bioaccumulate Hg with median BCF values of up to 130 for caps and 58 for stipes. The caps and stipes of these mushrooms if eaten will expose consumer to elevated dose of total Hg estimated at 1.4 mg for caps of Boletus reticulatus from the Kacze ??gi site, which is a nature reserve area. Nevertheless, the occasional consumption of the valued B. reticulatus and B. pinophilus mushrooms maybe safe.     

Metabolism of 14C‐carbaryl and 14C‐1‐naphthol in moist and flooded soils

Abstract

The metabolism of ¹⁴C‐carbaryl and ¹⁴C‐1‐naphthol in moist and flooded soils was studied in a continuous flow‐through system over a period of 28 days permitting ¹⁴C‐mass balance. The percent distribution of radiocarbon in organic volatiles, carbon dioxide, extractable and non‐extractable (bound) fractions of soils were determined. Organic volatiles could not be detected in both carbaryl and 1‐naphthol treated soils. More of ¹⁴CO₂ (25.6%) was evolved from moist than flooded soil (15.1%) treated with carbaryl. However, the mineralization of ¹⁴C‐1‐naphthol was negligible. The extractable radiocarbon was more in flooded soil (28.9%) than moist soil (5.5%) from carbaryl treatment. Less than one percent was present as parent compound, whereas carbaryl was mainly metabolized to 5‐hydroxy carbaryl in moist soil and to 4‐ and 5‐hydroxy carbaryl in flooded soil. The extractable radiocarbon amounted to 18.2 and 24.3% in moist and flooded soils respectively and the parent compound was less than one percent with 1‐naphthol treatment. Most of the radiocarbon was found as soil bound residues; the formation being more with 1‐naphthol than carbaryl. Humin fraction of the soil organic matter contributed most to soil bound residues of both carbaryl and 1‐naphthol.     

Aerobic and anaerobic degradation of profluralin and trifluralin

Abstract

The degradation of profluralin [N‐(cyclopropylmethyl)‐α,α,α‐trifluoro‐2,6‐dinitro‐N‐propyl‐]p‐toluidine] and trifluralin (α,α,α‐trifluoro‐2,6‐dinitro‐N,N‐dipropyl‐p‐toluidine) was studied under aerobic and anaerobic soil conditions. Three soils (Goldsboro loamy sand, Cecil loamy sand, Drummer clay loam) were each treated with 1 ppmw herbicide; anaerobic conditions were maintained by flooding. Soil samples were extracted monthly and subjected to TLC analysis. No degradation was detected in sterile controls. Aerobic degradation of both herbicides was greatest in the Cecil loamy sand soil over the entire incubation period. Degradation of profluralin in Cecil soil under aerobic conditions was 86 percent after 4 months with three products detected; 83 percent of the trifluralin was degraded with two products detected. Anaerobic degradation accounted for 72 percent of the profluralin and 78 percent of the trifluralin after 4 months. Degradation of both herbicides increased with incubation time for the first 3 months and decreased slightly thereafter. Generally there was more extensive degradation (percent and in number of products formed) of profluralin than trifluralin under the conditions tested. More degradation products were detected for both herbicides under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions.
