氧化锰共生矿烟气脱硫的机理及影响因素

利用南非的氧化锰共生矿进行烟气脱硫,研究了共生锰矿烟气脱硫性能及其机理,并考察了锰矿粒径、反应温度、液固比、进气流量、进口SO2浓度等因素对脱硫率的影响。结果表明,氧化锰共生矿中主要的锰化合物是MnO2、Mn2O3和MnCO3,烟气脱硫过程主要存在4种方式：MnO2与SO2发生氧化还原反应生成硫酸锰;液相中Mn2+催化氧化SO2产生硫酸;MnCO3与硫酸反应生成硫酸锰;Mn2O3与硫酸反应后生成的MnO2可以继续与SO2进行脱硫反应,但是Mn2O3与SO2直接反应的活性较差。氧化锰共生矿烟气脱硫的最佳工艺参数为：锰矿粒径200目、反应温度80 ℃、液固比10:1以及进气流量600 mL?min-1     

铜铈复合氧化物催化降解甲基橙

采用水热法制备的铜铈复合氧化物能够直接催化降解甲基橙,探究了铜铈摩尔比、pH、投加量对催化降解效果的影响。研究发现,pH=3.5、Cu/Ce=1、投加量1.0 g·L-1时,甲基橙的降解效果最佳。在0.5~1.0 g·L-1之间时,随着投加量的增加,甲基橙的脱色速率加快,脱色率也有所增加。随着溶液中的pH逐渐下降,甲基橙脱色率有所增加,pH=3.5时,甲基橙脱色率最高;而进一步降低pH至3.0时,脱色率反而下降,可能是强酸腐蚀了金属氧化物表层,降低了甲基橙的降解效果。甲基橙主要因其被降解而脱色,促使甲基橙脱色的活性物质为·OH,且与体系中的分子氧有关,反应过程消耗一定的H+。     

TiO2/壳聚糖/氧化石墨烯复合微粒的制备及吸附As(Ⅲ)

用化学混合法将采用Hummer方法制备的氧化石墨烯加载到了二氧化钛/壳聚糖基复合微粒中,并用于水中As（Ⅲ）的去除。通过扫描电镜、Zeta电位仪和BET比表面积分析仪对微粒进行了表征。结果表明,经改性后的二氧化钛/壳聚糖/氧化石墨烯复合微粒在紫外光照下最大吸附容量可达12.43 mg·g-1,而二氧化钛/壳聚糖微粒的最大吸附量仅为4.97 mg·g-1。吸附动力学符合拟二级动力学模型,吸附等温线可用Langmuir模型描述。随pH值的增加,吸附剂对As（Ⅲ）的吸附量逐渐减小。该新型复合微粒吸附剂制备方式、合成条件简单,具有吸附容量较高和易于固液分离再生的优点,因此对水中除As（Ⅲ）有较好的应用前景。     

A method to estimate the impact of clear-cutting on nutrient concentrations in boreal headwater streams

Large-scale forestry operations, like clear-cutting, may impair surface water quality if not done with environmental considerations in mind. Catchment and country level estimates of nutrient loads from forestry are generally based on specific export values, i.e., changes in annual exports due to the implemented forestry operations expressed in kg ha⁻¹. We introduce here a specific concentration approach as a method to estimate the impact of clear-cutting on nutrient concentrations and export in headwater streams. This new method is potentially a more dynamic and flexible tool to estimate nutrient loads caused by forestry, because variation in annual runoff can be taken into account in load assessments. We combined water quality data from eight boreal headwater catchment pairs located in Finland and Sweden, where the effect of clear-cutting on stream water quality has been studied experimentally. Statistically significant specific concentration values could be produced for total nitrogen, nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate. The significant increases in the concentrations of these nutrients occurred between 2 and 6 years after clear-cutting. Significant specific concentration values could not be produced for total phosphorus and total organic carbon with the whole dataset, although in some single studies significant increases in their concentrations after clear-cutting were observed. The presented method enables taking into account variation in runoff, temporal dynamics of effects, and the proportional size of the treated area in load calculations. The number of existing studies considering large site-specific variation in responses to clear-cutting is small, and therefore further empirical studies are needed to improve predictive capabilities of the specific concentration values.     

Effects of Soil Amendments at a Heavy Loading Rate Associated with Cover Crops as Green Manures on the Leaching of Nutrients and Heavy Metals from a Calcareous Soil

The potential risk of groundwater contamination by the excessive leaching of N, P and heavy metals from soils amended at heavy loading rates of biosolids, coal ash, N‐viro soil (1:1 mixture of coal ash and biosolids), yard waste compost and co‐compost (3:7 mixture of biosolids to yard wastes), and by soil incorporation of green manures of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) and sorghum sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor × S. bicolor var. sudanense) was studied by collecting and analyzing leachates from pots of Krome very gravelly loam soil subjected to these treatments. The control consisted of Krome soil without any amendment. The loading rate was 205 g pot^? 1 for each amendment (equivalent to 50 t ha^? 1 of the dry weight), and the amounts of the cover crops incorporated into the soil in the pot were those that had been grown in it. A subtropical vegetable crop, okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.), was grown after the soil amendments or cover crops had been incorporated into the soil. The results showed that the concentration of NO₃‐N in leachate from biosolids was significantly higher than in leachate from other treatments. The levels of heavy metals found in the leachates from all amended soils were so low, as to suggest these amendments may be used without risk of leaching dangerous amounts of these toxic elements. Nevertheless the level of heavy metals in leachate from coal ash amended soil was substantially greater than in leachates from the other treatments. The leguminous cover crop, sunn hemp, returned into the soil, increased the leachate NO₃‐N and inorganic P concentration significantly compared with the non‐legume, sorghum sudangrass. The results suggest that at heavy loading rates of soil amendments, leaching of NO₃ ^? could be a significant concern by application of biosolids. Leaching of inorganic P can be increased significantly by both co‐compost and biosolids, but decreased by coal ash and N‐viro soil by virtue of improved adsorption. The leguminous cover crop, sunn hemp, when incorporated into the soil, can cause the concentration of NO₃‐N to increase by about 7 fold, and that of inorganic P by about 23% over the non‐legume. Regarding the metals, biosolids, N‐viro soil and coal ash significantly increased Ca and Mg concentrations in leachates. Copper concentration in leachate was increased by application of biosolids, while Fe concentration in leachates was increased by biosolids, coal ash and co‐compost. The concentrations of Zn, Mo and Co in leachate were increased by application of coal ash. The concentrations of heavy metals in leachates were very low and unlikely to be harmful, although they were increased significantly by coal ash application.     

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals by Phragmites australis cultivated in synthesized substrates

Accumulation of heavy metals from various oxides with adsorbed cadmium by wetland plant Phragmites australis was studied to evaluate the fate of heavy metals in the sediment of constructed wetlands. Hoagland solution was used as nutrition supply, and single metal oxide with adsorbed cadmium was applied as contaminant to study the accumulation characteristics of cadmium and the substrate metals by P. australis. After 45-d treatment, the bioaccumulation degree in root followed the order: Al(OH)₃ > Al₂O₃ > Fe₃O₄ > MnO₂ > FeOOH. Heavy metals absorbed by P. australis were largely immobilized by the roots with little translocation to aboveground parts.     

Nitrogen fixation estimates for the Baltic Sea indicate high rates for the previously overlooked Bothnian Sea

Dense blooms of diazotrophic filamentous cyanobacteria are formed every summer in the Baltic Sea. We estimated their contribution to nitrogen fixation by combining two decades of cyanobacterial biovolume monitoring data with recently measured genera-specific nitrogen fixation rates. In the Bothnian Sea, estimated nitrogen fixation rates were 80 kt N year⁻¹, which has doubled during recent decades and now exceeds external loading from rivers and atmospheric deposition of 69 kt year⁻¹. The estimated contribution to the Baltic Proper was 399 kt N year⁻¹, which agrees well with previous estimates using other approaches and is greater than the external input of 374 kt N year⁻¹. Our approach can potentially be applied to continuously estimate nitrogen loads via nitrogen fixation. Those estimates are crucial for ecosystem adaptive management since internal nitrogen loading may counteract the positive effects of decreased external nutrient loading.     

Mn-Ce复合氧化物微球的制备及其催化氧化甲苯性能

为了开发高效稳定、具有低温活性的降解VOCs催化材料,采用传统水热法制备了一系列不同锰铈比的催化剂(MnO₂、Mn_0.95Ce_0.05O_x、Mn_0.90Ce_0.10O_x、Mn_0.80Ce_0.20O_x及Mn_0.60Ce_0.40O_x),利用SEM、BET、XRD、H₂-TPR、O₂-TPD、拉曼光谱等技术对催化剂的物理化学性质进行了表征分析,同时考察了其对甲苯的催化氧化活性。结果表明：通过简单的水热合成法合成出的Mn-Ce复合氧化物均为微球,但Ce的加入使得微球催化剂表面的纳米针消失,变为光滑的微球体;而不同的催化剂在氧化甲苯时呈现不同的催化氧化性能,其中Mn_0.80Ce_0.20O_x具有最佳的甲苯氧化性能,这是由于其具有较强的氧化还原性能、较高的化学吸附氧含量及存在Mn-Ce固溶体。因此,通过控制催化剂中Ce含量,可调控催化剂的形貌和物理化学特性,从而使Mn-Ce复合氧化物在甲苯催化氧化中展现出优异的催化性能。研究结果为新型高效降解VOCs催化材料的设计和开发提供了新思路。

采用共混热解法制备系列Ce-Sn-W-Ox复合氧化物,用于NH3选择性催化还原NO。通过正交实验优化CeSn-W-Ox配方,采用环境扫描电镜(ESEM)、X-射线衍射仪(XRD)等表征分析催化剂的微观形貌和固相结构,确立Ce-Sn-WOx最佳配比及结构形貌。结果表明,以粒度为5~8 mm的堇青石瓷片担载分散Ce-Sn-W-Ox,进行NH3-SCR脱除NO,当Ce/Sn/W元素摩尔比为1∶0.8∶0.6时,Ce Sn0.8W0.6Ox/堇青石NH3-SCR脱除NO效果最好。当空速为7 200 h-1,催化剂在252~426℃内脱除NO效率均大于94%。重点考察了反应空速(GHSV)、水蒸气(H2O)、SO2等对Ce Sn0.8W0.6Ox/堇青石NH3-SCR脱除NO活性的影响。研究表明,空速低于10 000 h-1时,催化剂脱硝活性受空速影响小;单独通入5%H2O对催化剂脱硝活性基本没有影响;单独通入429 mg/m3SO2导致催化剂活性略有降低;同时通入429 mg/m3SO2和5%H2O,催化剂脱硝活性下降至85.33%,除去SO2和H2O后,催化剂活性又能明显回升。
