In recent years several types of sensors and measurement techniques have been developed for measuring the moisture content, water saturation, or the volumetric water content of landfilled wastes. In this work, we review several of the most promising techniques. The basic principles behind each technique are discussed and field applications of the techniques are presented, including cost estimates. For several sensors, previously unpublished data are given. Neutron probes, electrical resistivity (impedance) sensors, time domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors, and the partitioning gas tracer technique (PGTT) were field tested with results compared to gravimetric measurements or estimates of the volumetric water content or moisture content. Neutron probes were not able to accurately measure the volumetric water content, but could track changes in moisture conditions. Electrical resistivity and TDR sensors tended to provide biased estimates, with instrument-determined moisture contents larger than independent estimates. While the PGTT resulted in relatively accurate measurements, electrical resistivity and TDR sensors provide more rapid results and are better suited for tracking infiltration fronts. Fiber optic sensors and electrical resistivity tomography hold promise for measuring water distributions in situ, particularly during infiltration events, but have not been tested with independent measurements to quantify their accuracy. Additional work is recommended to advance the development of some of these instruments and to acquire an improved understanding of liquid movement in landfills by application of the most promising techniques in the field. 相似文献

Bisphenol A is an endocrine disrupting compound, which is ubiquitous in the environment due to its wide use in plastic and resin production. Seven day old cultures of the litter-decomposing fungus Stropharia coronilla removed the estrogenic activity of bisphenol A (BPA) rapidly and enduringly. Treatment of BPA with purified neutral manganese peroxidase (MnP) from this fungus also resulted in 100% reduction of estrogenic activity, as analyzed using a bioluminescent yeast assay, and in the formation of polymeric compounds. In cultures of Stropharia rugosoannulata, estrogenic activity also quickly disappeared but temporarily re-emerged in the further course of cultivation. LC-MS analysis of the extracted estrogenic culture liquid revealed [M−H]− ions with m/z values of 219 and 235. We hypothesize that these compounds are ring fission products of BPA, which still exhibit one intact hydroxyphenyl group to interact with estrogen receptors displayed by the yeast. 相似文献

Destruction of PAHS from soil by using pressurized hot water extraction coupled with supercritical water oxidation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Chemical processes utilizing water both as extraction solvent and reaction medium are promising "Green Chemistry" alternatives to conventional techniques. Equipment for on-line coupled hot water extraction and supercritical water oxidation was constructed to extract polyaromatic hydrocarbons and toluene from sea sand followed by oxidation using hydrogen peroxide. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the physico-chemical properties of heated and pressurized water. Extraction efficiency increased with temperature and time; the best results were obtained at 300 degrees C with 40 min extraction time. In the oxidation stage, conversion of the PAHs increased with reaction time and oxidant concentration and the best conversion (97.0-99.9%, depending on the compound) was obtained at 425 degrees C with 43 s reaction time. Benzaldehyde and benzoic acid were the most abundant reaction intermediates in the oxidation process. In addition, phenol, p-cresol, and benzyl alcohol were found as intermediates. The intermediates originated mainly from toluene, which was present in much greater concentration than PAHs in the reaction medium. 相似文献

Three strains of the chain-forming diatom Skeletonema marinoi, differing in their production of polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUA) and nutritional food components, were used in experiments
on feeding, egg production, hatching success, pellet production, and behavior of three common planktonic copepods: Acartia tonsa, Pseudocalanus elongatus, and Temora longicornis. The three different diatom strains (9B, 1G, and 7J) induced widely different effects on Acartia tonsa physiology, and the 9B strain induced different effects for the three copepods. In contrast, different strains induced no
or small alterations in the distribution, swimming behavior, and turning frequency of the copepods. 22:6(n-3) fatty acid (DHA)
and sterol content of the diet typically showed a positive effect on either egg production (A. tonsa) or hatching success (P. elongatus), while other measured compounds (PUA, other long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) of the algae had no obvious effects.
Our results demonstrate that differences between strains of a given diatom species can generate effects on copepod physiology,
which are as large as those induced by different algae species or groups. This emphasizes the need to identify the specific
characteristics of local diatoms together with the interacting effects of different mineral, biochemical, and toxic compounds
and their potential implications on different copepod species. 相似文献

Human-induced eutrophication, resulting in algal blooms and increased water turbidity, is an alarming problem in aquatic systems.
Here, we experimentally tested the impact of algal turbidity on parental care, egg fanning, and time in the nest, in the sand
goby, Pomatoschistus minutus, a fish with uniparental male care. We allowed males to care for their eggs in either clear water or water made turbid by
planktonic algae. In the early brood cycle, males fanned their eggs less in turbid than in clear water, but this difference
disappeared later. Despite decreased care, egg survival was higher in turbid conditions, indicating that early fanning may
partly be redundant for egg survival and perhaps used more as courtship. Males also spent more time out of their nest in turbid
water, perhaps as a means to encounter additional females under conditions of low visibility. 相似文献
