Optimizing electron spin resonance detection of hydroxyl radical in water

The parameters affecting the electron spin resonance (ESR) detection of hydroxyl free radical in water are studied and optimized. The hydroxyl radical is generated by the Fenton reaction with iron (II) ammonium sulfate and hydrogen peroxide reacting in a phosphate buffer using N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitron as the spin trap. The concentrations of Fe²⁺, H₂O₂, and phosphate buffer are the parameters studied. The Taguchi method and the orthogonal experiment design were used to evaluate the effects of these parameters on the ESR signal intensity. By the analysis of the signal-to-noise ratio and the analysis of variance, the order of importance of the various parameters on the hydroxyl radical formation is determined for optimal ESR detection of hydroxyl radical. The results will help the development of water purification technologies using hydroxyl free radical as a green oxidant.     

A straightforward synthesis in aqueous medium of enantiomerically enriched S(-)2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl

Chiral, atropisomeric 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl has been extensively used to direct asymmetric processes. Its key role in asymmetric catalysis has spurred efforts to synthesize it in the optically pure form, but the reported synthetic routes have a significant environmental impact. In an aqueous peroxydase-cyclodextrin system the oxidative coupling of 2-naphthol took place very rapidly in almost quantitative yield and resulted in an enantiomeric excess. This one-pot synthesis do not require any organic solvents and oxidising metal cations.

Residues and dissipation kinetic of abamectin,chlorfenapyr and pyridaben acaricides in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under field conditions using QuEChERS method and HPLC

Abstract

The current study estimated the dissipation rates of abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben acaricides in pods of green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under field conditions in Egypt. Pesticides were extracted and cleaned-up by QuEChERS method and were analyzed by HPLC. The dissipation of these acaricides followed the first order kinetics model with half-life (t_1/2) values 1.00, 3.50 and 1.50?days for abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben, respectively. The lowest residues, at different time intervals of field application rate of each pesticide, were observed with abamectin followed by pyridaben and then chlorfenapyr. Pre-harvest intervals (PHIs) were 10.00, 13.50 and 6.00?days for abamectin, chlorfenapyr and pyridaben, respectively and were below the established European maximum residue limits (EU MRLs) 10–14, 14–21 and 7–10?days after application, respectively. If the fresh pods will be consumed after harvest, it is expected that the presence of these pesticides in the food will have a negative impact on human health. Therefore, the elimination of the residues of these harmful pesticides must be carried out.     

中国电子废物循环利用空间优化

基于2014年和2015年环保部发布的省级回收数据,分析了现有传统回收体系下,各省的电子废物回收率变化,发现省级尺度电子废物的回收率呈现较大波动,这与电子废物的跨省流动有密切关系.为此,本文基于现有回收渠道的省际流动网络格局,采用网络分析中的层次聚类方法,揭示全国电子废物流动的区域化特征.结果显示根据区域化特征重新划分市场区,可以使主要市场区的整体回收率波动明显降低,从而为制定合理的回收目标提供参考.针对这一研究结果,提出基于市场区域化特征,建立全国一体化的回收利用市场和差异化的区域性回收目标,有助于充分利用市场机制优化中国电子废物循环利用的空间格局.最后,讨论了生产者主导和处理企业主导两种治理机制对空间优化的潜在影响.     

中国省际间对内开放对驱动工业绿色创新空间趋同的影响

针对我国省际间对内开放度不平衡发展下工业绿色创新可能存在的地区异质性及空间趋同性,构建对内开放度评价指标体系,利用组合评价方法对30个省级单位的对内开放度进行了综合评价,并通过基尼系数等变异指标比较省际间对内开放度的地区差异,利用2005~2014年的省级面板数据建立空间计量模型检验了省际间对内开放度约束下工业绿色创新的空间趋同性.研究发现：我国省际间对内开放度在时间维度上表现出增加-降低的发展特点,而空间维度上存在东高西低的地区异质性特征.其中,东部地区间对内开放度的内部差异最大,西部次之,中部最小.我国整体及东部地区省际间工业绿色创新的分散离散程度将随时间推移而变化,但中西部地区工业绿色创新波动较大,尚需进一步调整改善;我国整体及东中西部地区工业绿色创新均会随时间推移达到一致的长期均衡,并且其邻近地区因经济发展情况、技术环境、研发水平等特征相似而呈现出的长期相互趋同.加速省际间对内开放、提高经济发展水平、适当放宽环境管制政策是促进我国整体和东部地区工业绿色创新能力提升的重要因素;提高经济发展水平和科学适宜的环境管制强度是促进中部和西部地区工业绿色创新能力提升的重要因素.省际间对内开放度的地区异质性来源及省际间对内开放约束下工业绿色创新的空间趋同情况,有利于我国在新经济形势下缩小省际间对内开放差异、加速对内开放,进一步提升工业绿色创新能力.     

物元可拓法用于南京城市绿地土壤重金属污染评价

为合理评价土壤中重金属的污染程度,采用方格网法采集南京城市绿地表层土壤（深度为0~15 cm）样品共计180个,对Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd、Cr等5种重金属和类金属As的质量分数进行测定,引入Hakanson毒性响应系数,用于体现重金属毒理性质;对传统的超标赋权法进行修正,体现重金属潜在危害程度;采用物元可拓模型对其综合污染水平进行评价,并与传统的內梅罗综合污染指数法进行比较.结果表明:通过Hakanson毒性响应系数修正后的重金属权重发生了不同程度的调整,其中Zn、Cr、Cu、Pb和As的权重分别下降了92.9%、85.1%、68.9%、61.5%和23.2%,而毒性高的Cd的权重则上升130.0%,充分体现了重金属毒理性质;物元可拓方法模型评价结果显示,南京城市绿地土壤重金属污染等级值为2.481,处于Ⅲ级（轻度污染）水平,但部分采样点污染值高,处于Ⅳ级（中度污染）水平,通过对研究区的污染值进行空间插值发现,中度污染集中在研究区域的北部交通密集区和西部工业密集区,人为污染严重.研究显示,物元可拓模型的评价结果与内梅罗综合污染指数法的评价结果基本一致,且更为精确,适用于土壤重金属污染的评价.      

生物滞留设施去除城市道路径流中邻苯二甲酸酯的效果评估

上海市区道路径流中存在邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)污染,平均浓度达到171.71μg·L~(-1),高于欧洲和澳大利亚道路径流浓度近一个数量级,直接排放会对地表水体造成污染.为了从源头控制道路径流中PAEs污染,在上海内环高架道路下建造了应用规模生物滞留设施,研究城市绿色基础设施对道路径流中6种美国EPA优先控制PAEs污染物的控制效果及机理.生物滞留设施表面积为20 m2,汇水面积约为400 m2,底部带有防渗膜,适用于高地下水位地区.结果表明,8场监测降雨事件中,设施出水∑6PAEs平均浓度为10.23μg·L~(-1),显著低于道路径流∑6PAEs平均浓度171.71μg·L~(-1)(p0.05).沉淀预处理对PAEs无显著去除效果,生物滞留池对DEHP的去除率与TSS的去除率呈显著正相关,主要通过基质层截留作用去除;DEP、DBP、DMP等低分子量PAEs的去除率与设施水力负荷呈负相关,主要通过生物滞留池基质的吸附作用去除.DEHP、DBP为我国《地表水环境控制标准》控制污染物,生物滞留池出水DBP浓度低于标准值3μg·L~(-1),达标率100%;出水DEHP浓度大多情况下低于标准值8μg·L~(-1),达标率为71%,生物滞留设施可以有效控制道路径流PAEs污染.本研究的结果适用于我国东南部地下水位较高的地区,可为绿色基础设施控制地表径流PAEs提供设计理论指导.     

低影响开发对城市内涝节点雨洪控制效果研究——不同降雨特性下的情景模拟

以中国福建省福州市晋安区解放溪流域高密度居民住宅区为例,针对不同降雨重现期、降雨历时和雨峰系数的降雨情景,利用PCSWMM模型模拟该地区的雨洪情况,并运用模型的低影响开发（LID）模块,研究7种不同LID用地布局情景对研究区内涝节点的雨洪控制效果.情景模拟结果表明：在不同降雨情景下,各LID用地布局情景会使节点的洪峰流量减小、积水时间减少、积水深度变小;植被浅沟措施和植被浅沟&绿色屋顶组合措施会使节点SS峰值浓度高于现状用地,其余布设情景下,SS峰值浓度均减小.LID措施对节点流量和水质的控制效果在低降雨重现期和长降雨历时的降雨情景下较为有效.在单个LID布设情景中,渗透铺装措施控制最佳,而组合LID布设情景中,渗透铺装&植被浅沟&绿色屋顶是最佳的组合控制措施.研究结果可为南方城市居民区实施海绵城市建设提供技术支持,并为地方制定相关规范和标准提供参考和借鉴.     

Sensitivity of green and blue-green algae to methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) during a fifteen-day test

The test was designed to assess the toxicity of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) to Chlorella ellipsoidea and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae during 15 d with concentrations of MTBE from high (2.00×104 mg/L) to low (2 mg/L). The results showed that the toxicity was low when the concentration of MTBE was 1.00×104-2.00×104 mg/L (the greatest inhibition of growth-rate was 70%-71%, occurring on day 1-5). Low concentrations (2-500 mg/L) stimulated algal growth up to the greatest effect of 85%-200% when the concentration of MTBE was 50-100 mg/L on day 3-5. The low concentrations may lead to an algal bloom owing to overabundance, which represents an aquatic ecological risk. However, the stimulatory effect occurred only during the day 1-5 and disappeared gradually during the day 13-15. The toxicity of MTBE (72-120 h EC50) is 6.65×103-9.58×103 mg/L for C. ellipsoidea and that is 1.14×104-2.00×104 mg/L for A. spiroides. We found that the toxicity and ecological risk of MTBE for the algal community structure were low. The toxicity was influenced by the duration of the test. We suggest that the duration of the test should not be shorter than half a life-cycle.
