Enhanced debromination of 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) by zero-valent zinc with ascorbic acid

• Highly efficient debromination of BDE-47 was achieved in the ZVZ/AA system. • BDE-47 debromination by the ZVZ/AA can be applied to a wide range of pH. • AA inhibits the formation of (hydr)oxide and accelerates the corrosion of ZVZ. • Reduction mechanism of BDE-47 debromination by the ZVZ/AA system was proposed. A new technique of zero-valent zinc coupled with ascorbic acid (ZVZ/AA) was developed and applied to debrominate the 2,2′,4,4′-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), which achieved high conversion and rapid debromination of BDE-47 to less- or non-toxic forms. The reaction conditions were optimized by the addition of 100 mg/L ZVZ particles and 3 mmol/L AA at original solution pH= 4.00 using the solvent of methanol/H₂O (v:v= 4:6), which could convert approximately 94% of 5 mg/L BDE-47 into lower-brominated diphenyl ethers within a 90 min at the ZVZ/AA system. The high debromination of BDE-47 was mainly attributed to the effect of AA that inhibits the formation of Zn(II)(hydr)oxide passivation layers and promotes the corrosion of ZVZ, which leads to increase the reactivity of ZVZ. Additionally, ion chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyses revealed that bromine ion and lower-debromination diphenyl ethers formed during the reduction of BDE-47. Furthermore, based on the generation of the intermediates products, and its concentration changes over time, it was proposed that the dominant pathway for conversion of BDE-47 was sequential debromination and the final products were diphenyl ethers. These results suggested that the ZVZ/AA system has the potential for highly efficient debromination of BDE-47 from wastewater.

十溴联苯醚在单次暴露的孕和非孕SD大鼠血液内的吸收分布

五溴联苯醚、八溴联苯醚被禁以后,十溴联苯醚（BDE-209〉97%）是现在唯一仍在全球范围内广泛使用的多溴联苯醚阻燃剂。BDE-209在环境介质和生物体,甚至人体的血液、母乳中普遍存在,而且BDE-209的环境含量呈上升趋势。在实验室条件下,BDE-209可以通过生物代谢,或光降解、热降解转换形成毒性更强的低溴代PBDEs、羟基甲氧基PBDEs、致癌物多溴二苯并二噁英/呋喃（PBDD/DFs）。所以BDE-209的环境行为及生物效应成为环境污染物领域研究的热点之一。目前,关于BDE-209对妊娠期生物体的暴露研究还是很少。研究了十溴联苯醚在单次暴露的孕和非孕SD大鼠血液内的吸收代谢。结果表明,BDE-209可以被孕和非孕SD大鼠吸收,孕和非孕SD大鼠血液中吸收的BDE-209都可以快速的排出。BDE209在孕和非孕SD大鼠体内存在脱溴代谢,主要的脱溴代谢物是3种nona-BDE（sBDE-206,-207,-208）和五种octa-BDEs（BDE-196,-197/204,-198/203）,其中3种nona-BDEs是主要的代谢物,而BDE-207是nona-BDEs中含量最大的单体。BDE-209及其脱溴代谢物nona-BDEs的清除速率,在SD孕鼠的体内快于SD非孕鼠,而且在暴露实验的后期还存在统计意义的显著差异性。

超临界丙酮降解废弃线路板中的溴化环氧树脂简

探讨废弃线路板中溴化环氧树脂在超临界丙酮中的脱溴降解特性,重点考察了温度、反应时间和有机溶剂添加量对溴化环氧树脂降解特性的影响,确立的最佳实验条件为：温度260℃、保温时间1~2 h、丙酮添加量20~40 mL,系统压强3~6 MPa,此时溴化环氧树脂能够快速降解,脱溴率达到97.94%,降解产物主要为苯酚和异丙基苯酚,含量分别为60.99%和3.12%,降解产物中溴主要以HBr的形式存在于油相中,可以用碱液从油相中萃取脱除。线路板经超临界丙酮处理后,铜箔与玻璃纤维自动分层解离便于后续破碎回收,为废弃线路板的无害化处理和资源回收利用提供了一条新途径。     

大气环境变化对污染土壤中PBDEs自然降解过程的影响研究

以模拟电子垃圾拆解区污染土壤中的多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)为研究对象,采用室内模拟的方法,考察了臭氧浓度的上升及光照条件、温度和土壤pH值等环境因素对土壤中PBDEs自然降解过程的影响.研究结果表明:臭氧浓度的升高能明显促进PBDEs的自然降解,且臭氧浓度越高BDE-209的降解率越高,随着土壤深度增加,BDE-209去除率则相应降低,10 mg·L-1的臭氧在2 h内对深层土壤中BDE-209的去除率可达99%.光照强度为1.0 m W·cm-2的持续紫外光照条件下,土壤中BDE-209的降解现象较为明显,且光降解速率随光强的增强而增大.40℃的夏季地面高温及pH=9.0的弱碱性土壤均有利于PBDEs的自然降解.此外,PBDEs的降解过程是逐步脱溴的过程.PBDEs的降解过程既包括了BDE-209的降解,也包括了中间产物(BDE-28、BDE-47、BDE-99、BDE-100、BDE-153、BDE-154和BDE-183)的降解.当BDE-209去除率达到一定程度且中间产物逐渐积累达一定量时,中间产物的降解反应逐渐成为主导反应,导致PBDEs总量逐渐降低.     

纳米零价铁降解水中多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)及降解途径研究

纳米零价铁(nZVI)法是多溴联苯醚(polybrominated biphenyl ethers,PBDEs)脱溴的有效方法.其反应动力学与途径对阐明PBDEs降解机制具有重要意义.本研究采用液相还原法制备的nZVI,在含有表面活性剂聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚(Triton X-100)的条件下,46 h内完全降解商用八溴联苯醚(octa-BDE)混合物中高溴代物质(7~9个溴代的同系物),其降解过程符合类一级反应动力学(pseudo-first-order)方程,平均降解速率常数(k)为0.106 h-1.本研究利用数量结构保留关系(quantatitivestructure retention relationship,QSRR)模型建立了在缺乏全系标准样品的情况下PBDEs降解产物的有效分析方法.通过混标中39种PBDEs各标准物在气相色谱中的保留时间,再以BDE47和BDE183的平均保留时间归一化后得到每种标准物的相对保留时间(relative retention time,RRT),再将数据库中的相对保留时间指数(relative retention time index,RRTI)与实验测得的相对保留时间拟合,得到QSRR模型.利用该模型对octa-BDE降解产物进行定性分析,推导得出nZVI对octa-BDE的还原降解途径.结果表明,nZVI对PBDEs的逐级脱溴过程中,间位的溴原子最容易被取代.

Removal of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) by sepiolite-supported nanoscale zerovalent iron

Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) synthesized using sepiolite as a supporter was used to investigate the removal kinetics and mechanisms of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209). BDE-209 was rapidly removed by the prepared sepiolite-supported nZVI with a reaction rate that was 5 times greater than that of the conventionally prepared nZVI because of its high surface area and reactivity. The degradation of BDE-209 occurred in a stepwise debromination manner, which followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The removal efficiency of BDE-209 increased with increasing dosage of sepiolite-supported nZVI particles and decreasing pH, and the efficiency decreased with increasing initial BDE-209 concentrations. The presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a cosolvent at certain volume fractions in water influenced the degradation rate of sepiolite-supported nZVI. Debromination pathways of BDE-209 with sepiolite-supported nZVI were proposed based on the identified reaction intermediates, which ranged from nona- to mono-brominated diphenylethers (BDEs) under acidic conditions and nona- to penta-BDEs under alkaline conditions. Adsorption on sepiolite-supported nZVI particles also played a role in the removal of BDE-209. Our findings indicate that the particles have potential applications in removing environmental pollutants, such as halogenated organic contaminants.
