黑麦草间作对镉在小麦中积累和转运的影响

利用镉(Cd)污染土壤进行盆栽试验,设置黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.)单作、小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)单作和小麦与黑麦草间作3个处理,研究间作对小麦各器官Cd积累和转运的影响。结果显示,间作模式对小麦不同生育期的根、茎、叶Cd含量基本都有降低作用,但对产量几乎没有影响。与单作模式相比,间作模式降低了收获期小麦根向地上部器官的转运系数和节向籽粒的转运系数,从而使籽粒的Cd含量下降,为同时满足Cd污染土壤的植物修复与农业生产进行提供理论支持。

为了研究黑麦草(Lolium perenne)修复复合重金属污染土壤与废水的综合利用效应,探索微生物对富集重金属黑麦草的降解效果,以复合重金属污染的土壤与废水为修复对象,利用黑麦草对土壤和废水进行修复,并考察了黑麦草的重金属含量、富集量、富集系数和转移系数。采用8种微生物对富集重金属黑麦草进行降解,考察黑麦草的失重率,黑麦草纤维素、半纤维素和木质素的变化情况以及重金属的浸出效果。结果表明:黑麦草对重金属污染的土壤与水体均具有较好的修复效果;在土壤修复阶段,黑麦草对U的富集系数最大,达到7.43;而对Cd的富集系数为2.61,对Pb和Sr的修复效果不明显;在废水修复阶段,黑麦草对U的富集量达到1 213.70 mg·kg-1DW,U、Cr、Sr、Co的富集系数和转移系数均大于1,其中U的富集系数达到11.24。另外,里氏木霉(Trichoderma ressei)和黄孢原毛平革菌(Phanerochaete chrysosporium)对富集黑麦草的总降解率达到60%以上;里氏木霉(Trichoderma ressei)、枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)和地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacillus lincheniformis)对重金属的平均浸出率分别达到87.19%、90.58%和90.33%。在重金属污染的土壤和水体中,通过对黑麦草的循环使用,可以提高黑麦草的综合利用效率,有效减少富集生物质的产生;同时微生物对富集生物质有较好的降解能力。研究为重金属富集生物质微生物处置以及重金属回收技术奠定基础。     

氧化石墨烯强化铜绿假单胞菌降解污染土壤多环芳烃的效果及其机制研究

微生物修复技术具有经济绿色、环境友好等特征,已成为多环芳烃(PAHs)污染土壤的主要修复手段之一。然而,针对经历长期老化的污染场地土壤,微生物修复效率偏低,生物强化技术亟待进一步提高。以PAHs高效降解菌铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aeruginosa,PAE)为对象,研究了新型碳质纳米材料氧化石墨烯(GO)对PAE生长和PAHs降解的影响,探讨了GO强化PAE降解土壤PAHs的效果及其机制。结果显示：(1)50～100 mg/L GO可以显著促进PAE的生长和胞外聚合物(EPS)的分泌。(2)PAE及GO(100 mg/kg)的添加显著促进了老化土壤中PAHs的降解。(3)GO添加前期,土著微生物群落丰度下降,PAE丰度显著增加;处理后期,土壤细菌群落丰度恢复至对照组水平。适宜浓度GO的添加可以影响土壤微生物的多样性和丰度,促进PAHs的降解,然而,修复后期GO的影响力下降,土壤微生物群落呈现出“扰动—恢复”模式。研究结果有助于深入理解GO对环境微生物的效应,为PAHs污染土壤的微生物修复提供新思路。     

一株多环芳烃降解菌的筛选及其降解特性

微生物修复是治理土壤多环芳烃(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs)污染的主要方法,而高效降解菌筛选是微生物修复技术的重要基础。从北京焦化厂土壤中筛选分离得到一株PAHs降解菌Q3,通过生理生化和16S rDNA等分析手段鉴定其为Rhodococcus rhodochrous。结果表明:该菌株对芘的耐受能力较强,可降解初始浓度为200 mg·L~(-1)的芘;该菌株具有降解广谱性,可利用苯并[a]芘、苯并[b]荧蒽、二苯并[a,h]蒽、苯并[g,h,i]苝等9种PAHs为唯一碳源进行代谢,特别是对苯并[a]芘等高环PAHs具有较好的降解效果;此外,该菌株可有效降解模拟液中的混合PAHs,并且对野外被PAHs长期污染的土壤具有较好的强化修复效果。投加菌株处理后的处理组与对照组相比,土壤PAHs总去除率提高了24%。以上结果表明该菌株对环境中被PAHs污染的土壤具有较好的强化修复潜力,可为PAHs污染土壤的微生物修复技术提供技术参考。     

菲污染土壤黑麦草/苜蓿间作修复效应

多环芳烃类化合物(PAHs)是环境中普遍存在的持久性有毒有机污染物,因具有强烈的"三致"作用,业已引起各国环境科学工作者的广泛关注,PAHs污染土壤的修复也已成为环境科学与工程领域的研究热点。以菲为PAHs的代表,研究了黑麦草/苜蓿间作对多环芳烃(菲)污染土壤的修复效应。通过温室盆栽模拟实验,观察到5 mg/kg和50 mg/kg污染水平没有明显抑制黑麦草和苜蓿的生长;黑麦草/苜蓿间作促进了植物对土壤菲的吸收,且间作体系根系富集系数大于单作;土壤中菲的可提取浓度随时间的延长逐渐减少,在菲重度污染土壤上,黑麦草/苜蓿间作修复效果明显优于单作,菲去除率可高达90.53%。因此,对于重度PAHs污染土壤该体系是一种有实际应用价值的间作修复体系。

筛选高效石油降解菌并考察菌株的石油降解能力,通过植物-微生物联合修复石油污染土壤室内实验,在修复过程中测定了土壤中细菌和固氮菌,碱解氮、速效磷和速效钾的含量变化,同时采用傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(ESI FT-ICR MS)考察了植物-微生物联合修复效果。结果表明,菌株3#、4#的生长适应性较强,其混合菌的降解效果最好,将其混合菌液与植物进行植物-微生物联合修复不同浓度的石油污染土壤,经过150 d的温室降解,最高降解率达到73.47%。ESI FT-ICR MS分析结果表明,与空白组相比,植物组的O1、O2和N1类等化合物相对丰度都发生了显著变化,石油污染物得到一定程度的生物降解。     

不同植物-微生物联合修复体系下石油烃的降解

石油烃作为环境中广泛存在的有机污染物之一,对人体健康造成严重的危害。以位于天津的大港油田原油污染土壤中筛选出的耐低温高效石油烃降解菌为供试菌株,以小麦、紫花苜蓿作为供试植物,比较不同类型植物以及不同的外源菌接种方式对石油降解的影响,并采用荧光素比色法分析荧光素二乙酸酯(FDA)酶活性随时间的变化规律。经过70 d的降解,原状土壤的总石油烃含量从30 720 mg·kg~(-1)下降为26 800 mg·kg~(-1),降解率为12.76%。相比于小麦,紫花苜蓿对石油烃的降解具有更好的促进效果,降解率为24.85%。接种菌悬液后再种植植物时,石油烃降解效果接近于单独接种菌悬液处理。小麦-固定化外源菌处理条件下,降解率为21.10%,实验后期石油烃的降解速率远远高于其他处理,表现出良好的修复潜力。FDA酶活性经历了先下降、后上升再下降直至平缓的过程,并且受到种植植物和投加外源菌的影响。     

Evaluation of hydrophobicity in PAH-contaminated soils during phytoremediation

The impact of recalcitrant organic compounds on soil hydrophobicity was evaluated in contaminated soil from a manufactured gas plant site following 12 months of phytoremediation. Significant reduction in soil wetting and water retention was observed in contaminated soil compared to an uncontaminated control. Phytoremediation was effective at reducing total PAHs by 69% with corresponding changes in soil classification from extremely hydrophobic (initial sample) to moderately-strongly hydrophobic (planted) and hydrophilic-very hydrophilic (unplanted) after 12 months. The greatest reduction in soil hydrophobicity was observed in the unplanted, unfertilized treatments that had the lowest removal rate of PAHs. The presence of plants may contribute to hydrophobicity in contaminated soil.     

Combination of biochar amendment and phytoremediation for hydrocarbon removal in petroleum-contaminated soil

Remediation of soils contaminated with petroleum is a challenging task. Four different bioremediation strategies, including natural attenuation, biochar amendment, phytoremediation with ryegrass, and a combination of biochar and ryegrass, were investigated with greenhouse pot experiments over a 90-day period. The results showed that planting ryegrass in soil can significantly improve the removal rate of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and the number of microorganisms. Within TPHs, the removal rate of total n-alkanes (45.83 %) was higher than that of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (30.34 %). The amendment of biochar did not result in significant improvement of TPH removal. In contrast, it showed a clear negative impact on the growth of ryegrass and the removal of TPHs by ryegrass. The removal rate of TPHs was significantly lower after the amendment of biochar. The results indicated that planting ryegrass is an effective remediation strategy, while the amendment of biochar may not be suitable for the phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.     

Effect of cropping and tillage on the dissipation of PAH contamination in soil

This study examined the effect of regular tillage and cropping on the dissipation rate of PAHs in contaminated soil. Lysimeters were placed under natural climatic conditions for 2 years and designed to measure the concentration of PAHs in soil and leachates and their toxicity. The soil initially contained 2077 microg PAHs g(-1). The largest decrease in PAHs concentration occurred during the first 6 months. No further significant decrease was observed after this time. The surface soil layer always contained significantly less PAHs than the deeper layer, regardless of the treatments. Less than 8.4 x 10(-8)% of the PAH initially present in the soil (e.g. less or equal to 33 microg PAHs per lysimeter) were leached from the soils during the experiment and the leachates presented no toxicity (as measured by the Microtox test). The toxicity of the soils decreased with time and was significantly lower on the cropped soil compared to the other treatments, despite the residual concentration of PAHs being the highest in this soil. This study demonstrated that the dissipation rates of PAHs were slow after using natural attenuation even when tillage and cropping were performed at the soil surface.     

A multi-process phytoremediation system for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from contaminated soils

To improve phytoremediation processes, multiple techniques that comprise different aspects of contaminant removal from soils have been combined. Using creosote as a test contaminant, a multi-process phytoremediation system composed of physical (volatilization), photochemical (photooxidation) and microbial remediation, and phytoremediation (plant-assisted remediation) processes was developed. The techniques applied to realize these processes were land-farming (aeration and light exposure), introduction of contaminant degrading bacteria, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and plant growth of contaminant-tolerant tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Over a 4-month period, the average efficiency of removal of 16 priority PAHs by the multi-process remediation system was twice that of land-farming, 50% more than bioremediation alone, and 45% more than phytoremediation by itself. Importantly, the multi-process system was capable of removing most of the highly hydrophobic, soil-bound PAHs from soil. The key elements for successful phytoremediation were the use of plant species that have the ability to proliferate in the presence of high levels of contaminants and strains of PGPR that increase plant tolerance to contaminants and accelerate plant growth in heavily contaminated soils. The synergistic use of these approaches resulted in rapid and massive biomass accumulation of plant tissue in contaminated soil, putatively providing more active metabolic processes, leading to more rapid and more complete removal of PAHs.     

Effect of chemical amendments on the concentration of cadmium and lead in long-term contaminated soils

The availability of metal in contaminated soil can be reduced by the addition of soil amendments. The objectives of this study are to study the effects of applying different soil amendments on the concentration of Cd and Pb in soil solution, DTPA or EDTA extractable Cd and Pb, and the uptake of Cd and Pb by wheat (Triticum vulgare) when growing in long-term Cd and Pb-contaminated soils, more than 20 years. The soil amendments, including check, compost, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate mixed with zinc oxide, and calcium carbonate mixed with compost, were conducted in a four replicates pot cultural study. The amended soils were incubated for six months under 60% of water holding capacity. Following incubation, wheat was grown for four months in greenhouse. Analyses of Cd concentration demonstrated a significant decrease in soil solution concentration and DTPA or EDTA extractable in soils amended with calcium carbonate or calcium carbonate mixed with ZnO (or compost) (p<0.01). These amendments can significantly reduce the Cd concentration in the grain, leaf and stem, or reduce the total Cd uptake in all parts of wheat species grown in highly contaminated soil amended with calcium carbonate or calcium carbonate mixed with ZnO (or compost) (p<0.01). The concentration of Cd in soil solution and extracted with DTPA or EDTA can predict the Cd concentration in wheat, especially for soil solution.     

Effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on germination and subsequent growth of grasses and legumes in freshly contaminated soil and soil with aged PAHs residues

The relevance of germination trials for screening plants that may have potential for use in the phytoremediation of PAH contaminated land was evaluated. The germination and subsequent growth of 7 grass and legume species were evaluated in soil spiked with a pure PAH mixture or coal tar and soil from a former coking plant heavily contaminated with aged PAHs. None of these treatments adversely affected germination of the plants. However, apart from Lolium perenne all species exhibited reduced growth in the coking plant soil after 12 weeks growth when compared to the untreated soil. In the coal tar spiked soil 4 out of the 7 species showed reduced growth, as did 3 out of the 7 in the soil spiked with a mixture of 7 PAHs. Therefore, germination studies alone would not predict the success of subsequent growth of the species tested in the ranges of soil PAH levels studied.     

Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from manufactured gas plant-contaminated soils using sunflower oil: laboratory column experiments

Laboratory column experiments were performed to remove PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) from two contaminated soils using sunflower oil. Two liters of sunflower oil was added to the top of the columns (33 cm x 21 cm) packed with 1 kg of PAH-contaminated soil. The sunflower oil was applied sequentially in two different ways, i.e. five additions of 400 ml or two additions of 1l. The influence of PAH concentration and the volume of sunflower oil on PAH removal were examined. A soil respiration experiment was carried out and organic carbon contents of the soils were measured to determine degradability of remaining sunflower oil in the soils. Results showed that the sunflower oil was effective in removing PAHs from the two soils, more PAHs were removed by adding sunflower oil in two steps than in five steps, probably because of the slower flow rate in the former method. More than 90% of total PAHs was removed from a heavily contaminated soil (with a total 13 PAH concentration of 4721 mg kg(-1)) using 4 l of sunflower oil. A similar removal efficiency was obtained for another contaminated soil (with a total 13 PAH concentration of 724 mg kg(-1)), while only 2l was needed to give a similar efficiency. Approximately 4-5% of the sunflower oil remained in the soils. Soil respiration curves showed that remaining sunflower oil was degraded by allowing air exchange and supplying with nutrients. Organic carbon content of the soil was restored to original level after 180 d incubation. These results indicated that the sunflower oil had a great capacity to remove PAHs from contaminated soils, and sunflower oil solubilization can be an alternative technique for remediation of PAH contaminated soils.     

Influence of root-exudates concentration on pyrene degradation and soil microbial characteristics in pyrene contaminated soil

The effect of ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) root-exudates concentration on pyrene degradation and the microbial ecological characteristics in the pyrene contaminated soil was investigated by simulating a gradually reducing concentration of root exudates with the distance away from root surface in the rhizosphere. Results showed that, after the root-exudates were added 15 d, the pyrene residue in contaminated soil responded nonlinearly in the soils with the same pyrene contaminated level as the added root-exudates concentration increased, which decreased first and increased latter with the increase of the added root-exudates concentration. The lowest pyrene concentration appeared when the root exudates concentration of 32.75 mg kg(-1) total organic carbon (TOC) was added. At the same time, changes of microbial biomass carbon (MBC, C(mic)) and microbial quotient (C(mic)/C(org)) were opposite to the trend of pyrene degradation as the added root-exudates concentration increased. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis revealed that bacteria was the dominating microbial community in pyrene contaminated soil, and the changing trends of pyrene degradation and bacteria number were the same. The changing trend of endoenzyme-dehydrogenase activity was in accordance with that of soil microbe, indicating which could reflect the quantitative characteristic of detoxification to pyrene by soil microbe. The changes in the soils microbial community and corresponding microbial biochemistry characteristics were the ecological mechanism influencing pyrene degradation with increasing concentration of the added root-exudates in the pyrene contaminated soil.     

Dissipation of PAHs in saturated, dredged sediments: a field trial

Sediments dredged from navigable rivers often contain elevated concentrations of recalcitrant, potentially toxic organic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The presence of these compounds often requires that the sediments be stored in fully contained disposal facilities. A 3-year field study was conducted at the Jones Island disposal facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to compare bioremediation of PAHs in contaminated dredged sediments in the absence of plants to phytoremediation with Salix nigra (black willow) (SX61), Spartina pectinata (prairie cord grass), Carex aquatalis (lake sedge), Lolium multiflorum (annual rye), and Scirpus fluviatilis (bulrush). Nine PAHs were detected initially in the sediments. Over the 3-year experiment, acenaphthene dissipation ranged from 94% to 100%, whereas anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene and indo[1,2,3-cd]pyrene generally had modest decreases in concentration (0-30% decrease). The remaining five PAHs ranged in degree of disappearance from 23% to 82%. Planted treatments did not enhance PAH dissipation relative to those without plants, but treatments with high biomass yield and high transpiration plant species had significantly less removal of PAHs than unplanted controls. Significant, negative correlations between nitrogen removal and decreases in PAH concentration suggest that competition for nutrients between plants and microorganisms may have impeded the microbial degradation of PAHs in the rhizosphere of the more rapidly growing plant species.     

Chemical methods and phytoremediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals

The effects of chemical amendments (calcium carbonate (CC), steel sludge (SS) and furnace slag (FS)) on the growth and uptake of cadmium (Cd) by wetland rice, Chinese cabbage and wheat grown in a red soil contaminated with Cd were investigated using a pot experiment. The phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soil with vetiver grass was also studied in a field plot experiment. Results showed that treatments with CC, SS and FS decreased Cd uptake by wetland rice, Chinese cabbage and wheat by 23-95% compared with the unamended control. Among the three amendments, FS was the most efficient at suppressing Cd uptake by the plants, probably due to its higher content of available silicon (Si). The concentrations of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and Cd in the shoots of vetiver grass were 42-67%, 500-1200% and 120-260% higher in contaminated plots than in control, respectively. Cadmium accumulation by vetiver shoots was 218 g Cd/ha at a soil Cd concentration of 0.33 mg Cd/kg. It is suggested that heavy metal-contaminated soil could be remediated with a combination of chemical treatments and plants.
