Microwave Pretreatment for Enhancement of Phosphorus Release from Dairy Manure

Both the advanced oxidation process (AOP) using a combination of hydrogen peroxide addition and microwave heating (H₂O₂/microwave), and the microwave heating process were used for solubilization of phosphorus from liquid dairy manure. About 80% of total phosphate was released into the solution at a microwave heating time of 5 min at 170°C. With an addition of H₂O₂, more than 81% of total phosphate could be released over a reaction period of 49 h at ambient temperature. The AOP process could achieve up to 85% of total phosphate release at 120°C. The results indicated that both the microwave, and the AOP processes could effectively release phosphate from liquid dairy manure. These processes could serve as pretreatments for phosphorus recovery from animal wastes, and could be combined with the struvite crystallization process to provide a new approach in treating animal wastes.     

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat food by Step One real-time polymerase chain reaction

The aim of this study was to follow contamination of ready-to-eat food with Listeria monocytogenes by using the Step One real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We used the PrepSEQ Rapid Spin Sample Preparation Kit for isolation of DNA and MicroSEQ® Listeria monocytogenes Detection Kit for the real-time PCR performance. In 30 samples of ready-to-eat milk and meat products without incubation we detected strains of Listeria monocytogenes in five samples (swabs). Internal positive control (IPC) was positive in all samples. Our results indicated that the real-time PCR assay developed in this study could sensitively detect Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat food without incubation.     

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic analysis of N6-benzylaminopurine residue quantity in sprouts with gold nanoparticles

ABSTRACT

A rapid and quantitative method for the determination of N⁶-Benzylademine (N⁶-BA) was established through the application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The Raman peak intensities of N⁶-BA at 1002 cm^?1 positively correlated to N⁶-BA concentrations in sprout extracts. The R² reached 0.99, and RSDs calculated below 10% at the concentration range of 0.1 ～5μg mL^?1. The average recoveries were 80.0% ～ 98.2% for blank samples intentionally contaminated at differing levels of 0.04, 0.4, and 1 μg g^?1. The whole procedure, including sample preparation and SERS detection, did not exceed 30 min for a set of 6 samples. This study indicates that SERS is a promising technique for rapid tracing analysis and on-site testing of N⁶-BA.     

Short‐Term Effects of Hydrogen Fluoride on Nicotiana tabacum L

Data on the short‐term effects of fumigation with hydrogen fluoride (HF) on the response behavior of the Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. St. Karabalar 6265 are being presented. Growth rate, fluoride accumulation in leaves and soils, and degradation in chlorophyll and nicotine contents of the plant species against the variations in two experimental factors, namely the exposure concentration and exposure time parameters, were investigated. Resulting data reveals that the variety selected for this study is not so tolerant to fluoride as generally reported in the literature, if only the individual effects of the pollutant is considered.     

重庆主城区大气重污染形势的激光雷达探测与分析

2013年1月12日-26日,利用大气超级站ALS300型激光雷达对重庆主城区大气进行了连续探测,分析了重污染形势期间的大气扩散条件及大气颗粒物时空分布等探测结果。分析表明,大气层结持续稳定,扩散条件差使得大气颗粒物浓度居高不下,大气能见度持续恶化;大气重污染期间PBL高度较低,平均为320～350m;大气颗粒物污染带处于100～400m高度范围;全国范围内异常的大气环流形势和重庆主城区独特的地形、气候特征是造成持续大气重污染形势的原因。     

SPE和LC-MS／MS联用同时检测水体中的15种抗生素

采用（SPE）固相萃取柱进行分离富集,使用LC—MS／MS联用仪进行检测,建立了一种高效、低成本的可同时检测水体中多种抗生素的方法,并在河北省子牙河流域汪洋沟水体抗生素污染现状调查中得到应用。实验结果表明,（1）最优实验条件的选择为：水样体积为1L,洗脱剂用量为10mL,pH为3．0;（2）回收率达到69．2％～86．3％,相对标准偏差在1．8％～8．4％之间,表明检测结果准确度和灵敏度均较高;（3）在所检测的15种抗生素中,头孢西丁、土霉素、氯唑西林和布洛芬4种抗生素是该河流的主要抗生素污染物,其含量比重（中位数）高达73．5％,检测浓度最高（中位数）的是磺胺类抗生素,浓度为100．4ng／L;（4）各抗生素的含量从上游到下游大体呈逐渐衰减的趋势,这主要归因于下游支流的稀释作用,但水体中抗生素浓度仍远高于已有报道的地区;（5）污染源解析表明,水体中抗生素主要来源于制药企业的废水,部分来源于附近居民的生活污水。     

绝缘子表面RTV憎水性与其放电的紫外成像结果关系研究

室温硫化硅橡胶(RTV)涂料在运行过程中会逐渐老化,可采用憎水性测量和理化手段分析其老化程度,但无法对运行中的绝缘子进行评估。通过涂污的方式模拟绝缘子表面RTV憎水性的减弱,对绝缘子串加压并用紫外成像仪记录放电过程,研究憎水性与紫外成像结果的关系。分析放电产生的紫外光子数和光斑面积发现,绝缘子串表面RTV憎水性越差,其发生显著放电的电压越低,相同电压下放电程度越剧烈。研究成果为运行中绝缘子RTV憎水性能的评估提供了一种新思路。
