氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸铜作用研究

为研究氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,简称A.f)对铜浸出的作用,从某煤堆积水中分离得到A.f菌,利用该菌对铜进行浸出实验,设置3个处理,3个处理的浸出液分别为9 K培养基(简称S),成熟菌液(简称MS)和过滤除菌液(简称FS)。结果表明,3个处理中铜都得到了浸出,浸出铜浓度按S、FS和MS依次递增分别为4 433、5 377和6 296 mg/L;浸出初期,MS中的铜,浸出速度最快,过滤除菌液中次之,而培养基中的速度比较稳定,比前两者均慢,24 h后三者浸铜速度趋近一致;三者中pH、Eh变化相似,pH均先升高至3.4左右保持相对稳定,Eh均先迅速下降至280 mV后保持稳定。由实验可知,氧化亚铁硫杆菌主要在浸出初期促进了铜的浸出,且菌液中溶解氧氧化Fe2+以及酸性条件下氧化Cu0对铜的浸出作用不容忽视。     

胞外聚合物对生物浸出线路板金属粉末中铜的作用

胞外聚合物(EPS)是生物浸出体系中重要的组成部分。通过设计透析袋对比实验和模拟EPS浸出实验,研究EPS在细菌与线路板金属粉末浸出过程中的作用。结果表明,不含透析袋的生物浸出7 d后铜的浸出率达到81.4%,而采用透析袋阻隔细菌与金属粉末直接接触的对照铜的浸出率仅为47.9%,2 d后移除透析袋实验组铜的浸出率急剧上升至77.9%。这表明细菌与线路板金属粉末的直接接触对生物浸出过程至关重要。配制的模拟EPS考查了其对生物浸出过程的影响。结果显示,添加模拟EPS的生物浸出实验7 d后铜的浸出率为92.2%,不添加模拟EPS的生物浸出组铜的浸出率为85.5%。扫描电镜结果也证实不同浸出后线路板金属粉末表面形态的差异。因此,EPS对生物浸出线路板金属粉末中的铜具有促进作用。     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出线路板中铜的作用方式研究

通过实验方法,研究微生物浸出线路板中铜的作用方式,确定固、液相微生物对浸出的影响.结果表明:(1)实际浸出后固相生物量占总生物量的95%左右,固相生物量和液相生物量接近20∶1(摩尔比).(2)铜的浸出率符合经典的收缩核模型.(3)扫描电镜观察发现,铜浸出后表面存在与氧化亚铁硫杆菌尺度一致的沟壑.透析袋的隔离实验表明,氧化亚铁硫杆菌的间接浸出率约占总浸出率的40%左右,氧化亚铁硫杆菌的直接浸出率占60%左右.这表明,浸出过程存在氧化亚铁硫杆菌与铜的直接接触作用,且这个作用在浸出过程中起主导作用.     

一株氧化亚铁硫杆菌的分离及其浸出废旧线路板中铜的效果

从广东某硫铁矿山酸性废水中分离到一株嗜酸性细菌,经形态观察、生理学和近全长16S rRNA基因分析鉴定为氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,简称A.ferrooxidans),命名为Z1。该菌与GenBank中菌株A.ferrooxidansCMS等处在系统发育树的同一分支,16S rRNA基因序列相似度均为99%。菌株Z1生长的最适pH值和温度分别为2.25和30℃,对数生长期处于第18～30小时,Fe2+平均氧化速率达到0.2307 g/(L.h),经驯化后能耐受15 g/L的废旧线路板金属富集体。浸出实验结果表明,在起始pH值为2.25、起始Fe2+浓度为9 g/L、接种量为10%、金属富集体投加量为15 g/L的条件下,菌株Z1能在62 h内浸出废旧线路板中99.3%的铜。与生物浸出效果类似,过滤除菌的滤菌液处理能在86 h内浸出96.0%的铜。而不接种上述细菌的9K培养基无菌浸出对照134 h铜的浸出率仅为61.3%。因此,菌株Z1可作为浸出废旧线路板中有价金属的潜在有效菌株。     

活性炭对细菌浸出线路板中金属铜的影响研究

研究了活性炭对细菌生长和浸出铜的效应影响。结果表明活性炭的添加对细菌的生长有一定的抑制作用,但这种作用随着添加量的增加而减弱。Fe3+对Cu浸出速率较快,活性炭对浸出速率有一定的促进作用,但效果不明显,且最终Cu的浸出率只达到87%。活性炭的添加增大了浸出体系中的生物量,加速了对Fe2+的氧化速率,从而保持溶液中较高的Fe3+浓度,可以提高铜的浸出速率。但这种促进作用需要较高浓度的活性炭添加量才比较明显。     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出废弃挠性PCB中金属的影响因素分析

废弃挠性PCB是资源化价值高的电子废弃物之一,正需环境友好的方法回收其所含的多种有价金属。采用显微镜对破碎后的挠性PCB粉样进行解离情况观察,发现破碎法难以将挠性PCB中的金属与非金属解离。通过设计单因素实验,研究挠性PCB粉末粒度大小、添加量、培养液初始p H、菌接种量、活化时间以及Fe SO4·7H2O添加量6个因素对氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,简称A.f菌)浸出挠性PCB中金属过程的影响。结果表明,A.f菌不能浸出挠性PCB中Au,但Cu、Ni可以有效浸出且最优化条件为:10 g·L-1挠性PCB、粒度0.25~0.42 mm、培养基初始p H 2.5、菌接种量5%、菌活化时间5 d、Fe SO4·7H2O添加量30 g·L-1,金属Cu的浸出率达到90.1%,比未接种处理高出42.4%;金属Ni的浸出率达到了85.9%,比未接种处理高出了32.9%。因此,采用生物法可环境友好地回收挠性PCB中Cu、Ni,有利于废弃挠性PCB的资源化处理。     

低品位电镀污泥对氧化亚铁硫杆菌活性的影响

以氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Thiobacillus ferroxidans,以下简称T.f菌）和低品位电镀污泥（干污泥中主要重金属组分低于3%的电镀污泥,以下简称污泥）为主要实验材料,研究了不同污泥浓度、初始pH对T.f菌Fe2＋氧化速率的影响。将实验组中T.f菌重新接种于新鲜9 K液体培养基,以考察T.f菌经实验处理后对新鲜9 K液体培养基中Fe2＋的氧化能力,结果表明,低品位电镀污泥对T.f菌Fe2＋氧化速率具有显著抑制作用,2.5 g/L的污泥浓度即可使T.f菌Fe2＋氧化速率由23.86 mg/（mL·h）降低至10.72 mg/（mL·h）;调节溶液初始pH,可有限改善T.f菌在低污泥浓度条件下的Fe2＋氧化速率,但在较高污泥浓度时,对其Fe2＋氧化速率无促进作用。     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌菌液脱除SO_2的实验研究

对比了酸性水溶液、酸性Fe3+溶液、含Fe3+的氧化亚铁硫杆菌菌液的SO2脱除效果,分析了氧化亚铁硫杆菌在SO2脱除过程中的主要作用。结果表明:(1)在实验的进气SO2浓度范围内,酸性水溶液对SO2的吸收仅为物理吸收,反应进行到60min时,SO2脱除率均降至15%以下,溶液不再具有SO2脱除能力。(2)对酸性水溶液、酸性Fe3+溶液和含Fe3+的氧化亚铁硫杆菌菌液3种吸收液而言,在实验的进气SO2浓度范围内,进气SO2浓度越高,SO2脱除率越低;Fe3+初始质量浓度为4.44g/L时,SO2脱除效果较好。(3)氧化亚铁硫杆菌在SO2脱除过程中,直接氧化作用不明显,其主要作用是将Fe2+氧化为Fe3+,维持溶液中Fe3+的浓度,这种间接氧化的作用对SO2的有效脱除非常重要。     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出线路板中铜及过程中铁的变化研究

氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸出废弃线路板中铜的研究

对废弃线路板中的铜进行了细菌浸出、只有硫酸亚铁环境下的浸出及酸浸出实验,研究了不同条件对比浸出效果,研究结果表明,细菌浸出比只有硫酸亚铁存在的浸出和酸浸要快得多。研究了在线路板粉末浓度12、24、40、60和120 g/L下浸出速率的变化,结果表明, 在考察范围内,浸出速度随着加入的废弃线路板粉末浓度的升高而降低,当线路板粉末的浓度＞60 g/L时,浸出速度维持在较低水平,选取24 g/L作为浸出的线路板粉末的浓度。分别在细菌培养0、24、48和72 h时加入线路板粉末24 g/L进行浸出实验,结果表明,细菌培养时间长,使得浸出过程进行得也更快。     

Feasibility of bioleaching integrated with a chemical oxidation process for improved leaching of valuable metals from refinery spent hydroprocessing catalyst

Bioleaching is considered an eco-friendly technique for leaching metals from spent hydroprocessing catalysts; however, the low bioleaching yield of some valuable metals (Mo and V) is a severe bottleneck to its successful implementation. The present study reported the potential of an integrated bioleaching-chemical oxidation process in improved leaching of valuable metals (Mo and V) from refinery spent hydroprocessing catalysts. The first stage bioleaching of a spent catalyst (coked/decoked) was conducted using sulfur-oxidizing microbes. The results suggested that after 72 h of bioleaching, 85.7% Ni, 86.9% V, and 72.1% Mo were leached out from the coked spent catalyst. Bioleaching yield in decoked spent catalyst was relatively lower (86.8% Ni, 79.8% V, and 59.8% Mo). The low bioleaching yield in the decoked spent catalyst was attributed to metals’ presence in stable fractions (residual + oxidizable). After first stage bioleaching, the integration of a second stage chemical oxidation process (1 M H₂O₂) drastically improved the leaching of Ni, Mo, and V (94.2–100%) from the coked spent catalyst. The improvement was attributed to the high redox potential (1.77 V) of the H₂O₂, which led to the transformation of low-valence metal sulfides into high-valence metallic ions more conducive to acidic bioleaching. In the decoked spent catalyst, the increment in the leaching yield after second stage chemical oxidation was marginal (<5%). The results suggested that the integrated bioleaching-chemical oxidation process is an effective method for the complete leaching of valuable metals from the coked spent catalyst.

     

Aminocyclopyrachlor sorption-desorption and leaching from three Brazilian soils

This study aimed to evaluate the sorption-desorption and leaching of aminocyclopyrachlor from three Brazilian soils. The sorption-desorption of ¹⁴C-aminocyclopyrachlor was evaluated using the batch method and leaching was assessed in glass columns. The Freundlich model showed an adequate fit for the sorption-desorption of aminocyclopyrachlor. The Freundlich sorption coefficient [K_{f (sorption)}] ranged from 0.37 to 1.34 µmol ^(1–1/n) L^1/n kg^?1 and showed a significant positive correlation with the clay content of the soil, while the K_{f (desorption)} ranged from 3.62 to 5.36 µmol ^(1–1/n) L^1/n kg^?1. The K_{f (desorption)} values were higher than their respective K_{f (sorption)}, indicating that aminocyclopyrachlor sorption is reversible, and the fate of this herbicide in the environment can be affected by leaching. Aminocyclopyrachlor was detected at all depths (0?30 cm) in all the studied soils, where leaching was influenced by soil texture. The total herbicide leaching from the sandy clay and clay soils was <0.06%, whereas, ～3% leached from the loamy sand soil. The results suggest that aminocyclopyrachlor has a high potential of leaching, based on its low sorption and high desorption capacities. Therefore, this herbicide can easily contaminate underground water resources.     

The combined effects of urea application and simulated acid rain on soil acidification and microbial community structure

Our aim was to test the effects of simulated acid rain (SAR) at different pHs, when applied to fertilized and unfertilized soils, on the leaching of soil cations (K, Ca, Mg, Na) and Al. Their effects on soil pH, exchangeable H⁺ and Al³⁺ and microbial community structure were also determined. A Paleudalfs soil was incubated for 30 days, with and without an initial application of urea (200 mg N kg^?1soil) as nitrogen (N) fertilizer. The soil was held in columns and leached with SAR at three pH levels. Six treatments were tested: SAR of pH 2.5, 4.0 and 5.6 leaching on unfertilized soil (T1, T2 and T3), and on soils fertilized with urea (T4, T5 and T6). Increasing acid inputs proportionally increased cation leaching in both unfertilized and fertilized soils. Urea application increased the initial Ca and Mg leaching, but had no effect on the total concentrations of Ca, Mg and K leached. There was no significant difference for the amount of Na leached between the different treatments. The SAR pH and urea application had significant effects on soil pH, exchangeable H⁺ and Al³⁺. Urea application, SAR treated with various pH, and the interactions between them all had significant impacts on total phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs). The highest concentration of total PLFAs occurred in fertilized soils with SAR pH5.6 and the lowest in soils leached with the lowest SAR pH. Soils pretreated with urea then leached with SARs of pH 4.0 and 5.6 had larger total PLFA concentrations than soil without urea. Bacterial, fungal, actinomycete, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial PLFAs had generally similar trends to total PLFAs.     

Deposition and Leaching of Tebuthiuron on Sugar Cane Straw Applied with and Without Alkyl Polyglycoside Adjuvant

Abstract

A laboratory experiment was carried out aiming to study the effects of an alkyl polyglycoside adjuvant (APG) on deposition and leaching of the herbicide tebuthiuron applied on sugar cane straw. Tebuthiuron, at concentration of 1200 mg L^?1, was applied separately and in tank mix with the APG adjuvant, at concentrations of 0.07 and 0.09% (wt v^?1), using a spraying volume of 204 L ha^?1. A precipitation equivalent to 20 mm of rain was simulated, 24 h after the applications, to evaluate the herbicide leaching. The quantification of tebuthiuron was carried out by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was observed that the addition of APG adjuvant at 0.07% (wt v^?1) provided an increase of 11.5% in the deposition of tebuthiuron on straw, reduction of 50.4% in the drift of the herbicide and it did not affect significantly the leached amount (68.5%), when compared with the treatment where tebuthiuron was applied alone (70.8%). At the concentration of 0.09% (wt v^?1), the APG adjuvant caused an increase of 22.7% in the deposition; it reduced the drift of the herbicide by 99.9% and reduced the leached amount by 7.6% thereby increasing the retention of the herbicide by straw.     

污泥生物沥滤工艺优化和重金属分配研究

为了得到嗜酸硫细菌沥滤污泥中重金属的最佳工艺参数,对沥滤过程进行3因素4水平的正交实验研究。3种影响因素的水平设置分别为:污泥浓度35、25、15和5 g/L,单质硫投加量15、10、5和1 g/L,接种量15、10、5和3 g/L。对沥滤过程污泥中7种重金属(As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb和Zn)的去除率进行极差分析,提出了因素影响程度依次为单质硫投加量污泥浓度接种量,且最佳工艺条件为:污泥浓度25 g/L,单质硫投加量10 g/L,接种量为5%。采用超声波-离心方法,分步提取污泥胞外聚合物(EPS)的2种形态:松散结合态(LB)和紧密结合态(TB)。分析其中的重金属浓度,提出沥滤后重金属在污泥EPS的赋存以LB为主。     

Leaching of S-metolachlor,terbuthylazine, desethyl-terbuthylazine,mesotrione, flufenacet,isoxaflutole, and diketonitrile in field lysimeters as affected by the time elapsed between spraying and first leaching event

The effect of elapsed time between spraying and first leaching event on the leaching behavior of five herbicides (terbuthylazine, S-metolachlor, mesotrione, flufenacet, and isoxaflutole) and two metabolites (desethyl-terbuthylazine and diketonitrile) was evaluated in a 2011–2012 study in northwest Italy. A battery of 12 lysimeters (8.4 m² long with a depth of 1.8 m) were used in the study, each filled with silty-loam soil and treated during pre-emergence with the selected herbicides by applying a mixture of commercial products Lumax (4 L ha^?1) and Merlin Gold (1 L ha^?1). During treatment periods, no gravity water was present in lysimeters. Irrigation events capable of producing leaching (40 mm) were conducted on independent groups of three lysimeters on 1 day after treatment (1 DAT), 7 DAT, 14 DAT, and 28 DAT. The series was then repeated 14 days later. Leachate samples were collected a few days after irrigation; compounds were extracted by solid phase extraction and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Under study conditions, terbuthylazine and S-metolachlor showed the highest leaching potentials. Specifically, S-metolachlor concentrations were always found above 0.25 µg L^?1. Desethyl-terbuthylazine was often detected in leached waters, in most cases at concentrations above 0.1 µg L^?1. Flufenacet leached only when irrigation occurred close to the time of herbicide spraying. Isoxaflutole and mesotrione were not measured (<0.1 µg L^?1), while diketonitrile was detected in concentrations above 0.1 µg L^?1 on 1 DAT in 2011 only.     

Field-scale leaching of arsenic, chromium and copper from weathered treated wood

Earlier studies documented the loss of wood preservatives from new wood. The objective of this study was to evaluate losses from weathered treated wood under field conditions by collecting rainfall leachate from 5 different wood types, all with a surface area of 0.21 m². Wood samples included weathered chromate copper arsenate (CCA) treated wood at low (2.7 kg/m³), medium (4.8 kg/m³) and high (35.4 kg/m³) retention levels, new alkaline copper quat (ACQ) treated wood (1.1 kg/m³ as CuO) and new untreated wood. Arsenic was found to leach at a higher rate (100 mg in 1 year for low retention) than chromium and copper (<40 mg) in all CCA-treated wood samples. Copper leached at the highest rate from the ACQ sample (670 mg). Overall results suggest that metals' leaching is a continuous process driven by rainfall, and that the mechanism of release from the wood matrix changes as wood weathers.
