“Achromobacter sp. CH-1-Cr(Ⅵ)-H2O”体系Cr(Ⅵ)还原的电化学行为

采用循环伏安法探明了"Achromobacter sp.CH-1-Cr(Ⅵ)-水"体系的电化学行为.结果表明:循环伏安曲线上-0.62V(相对于SCE)的电流峰对应的反应为Cr(Ⅵ)还原成Cr(Ⅲ)的反应,在电势为-0.82V时Cr(Ⅲ)开始还原为零价铬.体系中的电极反应为不可逆过程,阳极扫描时Cr(Ⅲ)不会被重新氧化为Cr(Ⅵ).细菌的存在使Cr(Ⅵ)的还原更容易进行,其还原峰电势正移约0.2 V,细菌对体系中的电化学反应起了催化作用.随细菌量的增加,氢气的析出、六价铬还原为三价铬及三价铬进一步还原为零价铬的电势均发生了正移,过高的细菌量主要影响三价铬还原沉积为金属铬的过程.铬浓度对细菌还原Cr(Ⅵ)溶液的循环伏安曲线的影响不大.初始pH值为10是细菌还原Cr(Ⅵ)的最佳pH值.     

湿法解毒还原工艺对铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)的治理特性

以治理铬渣中的Cr(Ⅵ)污染为目的,提出了硫酸浸出-硫酸亚铁还原的铬渣湿法解毒工艺,在对铬渣处理前后的表面形貌进行表征的基础上,探究了不同处理条件下铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)的处理效果及其修复机理。结果表明:铬渣湿法球磨时间为20 min时,铬渣颗粒98.68%过200目筛,水溶性Cr(Ⅵ)的浸出率可达40.96%;铬渣硫酸添加量为60%,液固比为4∶1,酸溶时间为2.5 h时,Cr(Ⅵ)浸出趋于饱和,此时浸出终点pH为5.8,水溶性和酸溶性Cr(Ⅵ)总浸出率为95.38%;硫酸亚铁添加量为40%时,铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)含量下降为1.38 mg/kg。铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)的去除主要与硫酸对含Cr(Ⅵ)矿物的溶解、SO₄2-和CrO₄2-的离子交换以及Fe(Ⅱ)对溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)的还原作用有关。     

绿色合成纳米零价铁铜淋洗修复Cr(Ⅵ)污染土壤

采用自制的绿色合成纳米零价铁铜(GT-nZVI/Cu)对Cr(Ⅵ)污染土壤进行淋洗修复。分别测定了土壤浸出液中Cr(Ⅵ)浓度、pH值和电导率,并使用改进的BCR连续提取法分析了淋洗前后污染土壤中铬的形态变化。结果表明:淋洗过程分为2个阶段,Cr(Ⅵ)的释放主要在前3个孔隙体积(PV)内;浸出液中电导率的变化趋势与Cr(Ⅵ)浓度变化一致;浸出液pH值随着淋洗体积的增加而增加,土壤的平衡作用变得稳定;土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)浓度、悬浮液pH值和GT-nZVI/Cu浓度对铬污染土壤的修复效果均有一定影响。铬的形态分析表明:铬污染土壤在淋洗后可还原态铬含量降低,氧化态铬和残渣态铬的含量增加。GT-nZVI/Cu悬浮液对污染土壤淋洗后,土壤中铬形态更加稳定。

六价铬细菌还原的分子机制研究进展

工业化进程中铬(Cr)的广泛使用造成了严重的环境污染,其中Cr(Ⅵ)由于具有致癌、致畸变作用以及极强的水相迁移性使其成为Cr污染的主要形式,而Cr(Ⅲ)在环境中易形成沉淀且毒性较小,因此将Cr(Ⅵ)还原成Cr(Ⅲ)被认为是一种有效的Cr(Ⅵ)污染治理策略.Cr(Ⅵ)还原成Cr(Ⅲ)可以通过化学反应或微生物转化,其中细菌介导的Cr(Ⅵ)还原是一种极具潜力的铬污染修复方式,具有反应温和、能耗低且无二次污染等特点,因此其还原过程的分子机制受到了越来越多的关注.本文总结了已发现的Cr(Ⅵ)还原细菌种类以及在污染治理中的应用,并详细阐述了Cr(Ⅵ)还原的分子途径和具体的功能蛋白,逐级深入的展示了目前已研究的Cr(Ⅵ)细菌还原的分子机制,对目前该领域存在的科学问题及未来的发展方向进行了归纳和总结.     

污染河流中Cr(Ⅵ)对浅层地下水的影响研究

为了研究污染河流中Cr(Ⅵ)对浅层地下水的影响,选用3种天然砂土作为渗透介质进行室内试验,以生活污水模拟污染河水,发现铬在粗砂中第13d发生穿透,此后粗砂对铬的去除率为77%～99%;2种中砂对铬的去除率始终大于91%和96%,铬很难进入地下水.凉水河野外试验表明,凉水河沿岸的1#、2#、3#采样点和煤厂井中Cr(Ⅵ)浓度均不大于地下水中Cr(Ⅵ)的背景浓度,凉水河中的Cr(Ⅵ)对地下水影响较小.还原和沉淀反应是Cr(Ⅵ)去除的主要机理,由于长期污染河流下部渗透介质始终处于厌氧环境,其中富含还原性物质,Cr(Ⅵ)可以通过沉淀反应大部分得以去除,本次试验研究表明污染河流不是地下水铬污染的来源.     

铬渣堆周边土壤对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附动力学和热力学研究

结合天津某铬渣堆周边地区的污染情况和地质状况,选取该区域有代表性的3种土壤(黏土、粉质黏土、粉土)作为研究对象,研究了其对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附动力学和热力学。结果表明:3种土壤对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附在120 min时达到吸附平衡,符合拟二级动力学方程,相关系数达到0.99以上,吸附等温模型符合Freundlich模型,且吸附能力由大到小的顺序依次为黏土、粉质黏土、粉土。土壤对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附量随温度的升高而增加。土壤的吸附自由能△G~θ0、吸附焓变△H~θ0,表明Cr(Ⅵ)在土壤中的吸附是自发的吸热过程;吸附熵变△S~θ0,表明吸附是焓推动作用;△G~θ在-0.020 7~-1.352 2 k J/mol间,说明土壤对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附以物理吸附为主、物理吸附和化学吸附共存的吸附过程。     

铬渣动态淋滤重金属铬溶解释放规律研究

为了全面系统地研究铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)和Cr(Ⅲ)溶解释放特征,以锦州和沈阳两地铬渣堆场为研究对象,通过动态淋滤试验,测定滤出液中Cr(Ⅵ)和总铬的质量浓度变化,分析铬渣淋滤液中Cr(Ⅵ)和Cr(Ⅲ)溶解释放规律。试验结果表明,锦州新铬渣和沈阳陈铬渣淋滤过程中,Cr(Ⅵ)和总铬浓度都经历先迅速下降再缓慢下降的过程;相较锦州新铬渣,沈阳陈铬渣Cr(Ⅵ)和总铬浓度下降都较慢,且初始浓度也较低;相比Cr(Ⅵ)的溶出,两地铬渣Cr(Ⅲ)的溶出量均较少,Cr(Ⅲ)溶出占比呈波动性上升趋势;锦州新铬渣和沈阳陈铬渣的Cr(Ⅵ)和总铬溶出浓度随淋出液体积分别呈双指数曲线衰减关系和幂函数曲线衰减关系。试验成果将为防治铬渣对地下水污染提供科学理论依据。     

碱性系统中铁对铬的还原作用及其对飞灰中铬的浸出控制

为了控制焚烧飞灰中铬的浸出,将FeSO4加入焚烧飞灰-水系统中和Cr（Ⅵ）的碱性水溶液中,试验二价铁（Fe（Ⅱ））对Cr（Ⅵ）的还原效果,并检验了Cr（Ⅵ）的还原产物的稳定性.热力学分析表明,碱性系统中Fe（Ⅱ）对Cr（Ⅵ）的还原受到Fe（Ⅱ）与O2反应的强烈竞争.实验结果也证实了暴露于空气的飞灰-水系统中的Fe（Ⅱ）对铬没有明显的控制效果,但在碱性溶液相中过量的Fe（Ⅱ）却能快速有效地还原Cr（Ⅵ）,且还原产物十分稳定.此外,焚烧飞灰中铬的溶出受到Pb、Ba、Ca等元素的干扰,不利于Cr（Ⅵ）的还原稳定.为了有效地稳定Cr（Ⅵ）,Fe（Ⅱ）稳定飞灰的过程可分两步进行.试验结果还表明,在碱性系统中铁的氧化物/氢氧化物对Cr（Ⅵ）的吸附和沉淀效果十分有限.     

难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)对重度铬污染土壤淋洗还原修复效果的影响

通过对某铬渣堆场的重度铬污染土壤进行解吸动力学和难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)还原实验,揭示限制重度铬污染土壤有效修复的关键因素。结果表明:室温下,采用柠檬酸淋洗可显著降低土壤中难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)浓度,将淋洗温度提高至90℃,可进一步显著降低难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)浓度。淋洗后土样中难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)浓度越低,其还原效果越好。供试土样经柠檬酸高温淋洗+FeSO₄高温还原工艺修复后,Cr (Ⅵ)浓度从(1813.2±59.8) mg/kg降至(99.1±8.8) mg/kg。此外,淋洗实验中柠檬酸对难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)的还原可忽略不计;土样中残留的柠檬酸对土壤Cr (Ⅵ)的检测结果无显著影响。研究证明了难溶态Cr (Ⅵ)的还原效果是重度铬污染土壤修复的关键限制因素,结果可为铬污染土壤修复工艺研发提供参考。     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.
