三维过电位电解处理罗丹明B废水

选用钛基RuO2-TiO2涂层电极作为三维过电位电解装置的阳极，紫铜作为阴极，活性炭作为第三极，研究了三维过电位电解处理罗丹明B废水的效果，并考察了外加电压、电解时间、初始浓度、pH值和搅拌方式等因素对其处理效果的影响。实验结果表明，外加电压、电解时间和初始浓度等因素均对罗丹明B的降解效果有影响，而pH值、搅拌方式等对罗丹明B的降解效果基本没有影响。与二维电解的对比研究表明，在罗丹明B溶液初始浓度为20mg／L，电解时间为1h，电解电压为20V时，采用二维电解的降解率为20％左右，而三维过电位电解的降解率接近80％。最终产物分析结果显示，经过处理的罗丹明B苯环开环变成直链烃类物质，或者饱和环状有机物，不再具有生物毒性，适合后续的生化处理。

Determination of octanol-air partition coefficients and supercooled liquid vapor pressures of organochlorine pesticides

Octanol-air partition coefficients (K_OA) and supercooled liquid vapor pressures (P_L) of nine organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) including p,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDD, o,p′-DDT, o,p′-DDE, o,p′-DDD, α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, δ-HCH were determined as functions of temperature using a gas chromatographic retention time method. Among them, the K_OA of o,p′-DDE and o,p′-DDD and the P_L of o,p′-DDE, o,p′-DDD, β-HCH and δ-HCH were determined for the first time. The determined K_OA and P_L values of investigated compounds at 25°C ranged from 3.14 × 10⁷ (α-HCH) to 3.76×10⁹ (p,p′-DDD), and 8.95×10^{? 4} Pa (p,p′-DDD) to 1.08×10^{? 1} Pa (α-HCH), respectively. The K_OA and P_L data were compared with published data. The K_OA values of o,p′-DDT at 25°C were 3.23×10⁹, higher than o,p′-DDE (1.02×10⁹) and o,p′-DDD (2.01×10⁹), indicating o,p′-DDT were more preferred to partition in soil compared with the metabolites. The K_OA values were lower and P_L values were higher for o,p′-DDE and o,p′-DDD, compared with their p,p′-isomeric counterparts, leading to a potential difference in behavior and fate of these isomers. The discrepancies among chemicals are obvious, which reflected in the increasing K_OA and decreasing P_L values in order of α-HCH, γ-HCH, β-HCH, δ-HCH, o,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDE, o,p′-DDD, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD. For each compound, the LogK_OA decreased linearly with reciprocal absolute temperature, while LogP_L had a significant positive correlation with the inverse absolute temperature. The present study suggested that the method of gas chromatographic retention time was appropriate to measure the K_OA and P_L of a number of OCPs.     

氧化亚铁硫杆菌浸铜研究及胞外多聚物的作用

为了获得氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,A.f)以及胞外多聚物(extracellular polymeric sub-stances,EPS)对铜浸出的作用结果,进行了透析袋实验,设置2个处理,2者的浸出液均为成熟菌液,但一个将铜片装入透析袋中以隔离A.f及EPS与铜的直接接触。结果表明:(1)菌液的处理和加透析袋的处理中铜都得到了浸出,240 h铜的浸出浓度分别为6 796 mg/L和1 366 mg/L,可知A.f及EPS与铜片直接接触能促进铜的浸出;(2)透析袋的处理中Fe3+保持较高浓度,说明Fe3+与EPS络合后被阻挡在透析袋外面从而不能与铜反应,可知EPS在A.f浸铜中起了媒介载体的作用;(3)2者的SEM图表明无透析袋的处理A.f与铜在实验初期发生了吸附,实验后期则无,实验初期铜快速浸出是由于传质距离短,而后期速度变缓是由于传质距离增大。     

Development of enzyme immunoassay for detection of DDT

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is one of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) widely found in the environment and in the general population. In this study, a direct competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has been developed for the quantitative analysis of DDT. To generate a specific polyclonal antibody for EIA, p, p′-DDT was conjugated to porcine thyroglobulin for rabbit immunization. At optimized EIA conditions, the standard curves ranged from 0.137 to 100 ng/mL with the quantification limit of 0.41 ng/mL. The coefficients of variation (CV%) were 5.42–10.53% for intra-assay and 6.04–7.26% for inter-assay. Cross-reactivities with DDT metabolites (DDTs, including o, p′-DDT, p, p′-DDD, o, p′-DDD, p, p′-DDE, o, p′-DDE, p, p′-dichlorobenzophenone (DCBP), o, p′-DCBP) were investigated. The polyclonal antibody showed relatively low and/or no cross-reactivity with these compounds, and the assay was seen to be highly selective for p, p′-DDT. Moreover, the DDTs could be ranked by their reactivity: DDT > DDD > DDE > DCBP. In addition, the characterization of the polyclonal antibody indicated that the antiserum possesses a high specificity for p, p′-isomers. The results indicated that the developed EIA using this antibody could be a convenient and supplemental analytical tool for monitoring DDT.

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae can enhance arsenic tolerance in Medicago truncatula by increasing plant phosphorus status and restricting arsenate uptake

A pot experiment examined the biomass and As uptake of Medicago truncatula colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae in low-P soil experimentally contaminated with different levels of arsenate. The biomass of G. mosseae external mycelium was unaffected by the highest addition level of As studied (200 mg kg⁻¹) but shoot and root biomass declined in both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants, indicating that the AM fungus was more tolerant than M. truncatula to arsenate. Mycorrhizal inoculation increased shoot and root dry weights by enhancing host plant P nutrition and lowering shoot and root As concentrations compared with uninoculated plants. The AM fungus may have been highly tolerant to As and conferred enhanced tolerance to arsenate on the host plant by enhancing P nutrition and restricting root As uptake.     

Cation exchange in a glacial till drumlin at a road salt storage facility

At a former wood preservation plant severely contaminated with coal tar oil, in situ bulk attenuation and biodegradation rate constants for several monoaromatic (BTEX) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were determined using (1) classical first order decay models, (2) Michaelis–Menten degradation kinetics (MM), and (3) stable carbon isotopes, for o-xylene and naphthalene. The first order bulk attenuation rate constant for o-xylene was calculated to be 0.0025 d^− 1 and a novel stable isotope-based first order model, which also accounted for the respective redox conditions, resulted in a slightly smaller biodegradation rate constant of 0.0019 d^− 1. Based on MM-kinetics, the o-xylene concentration decreased with a maximum rate of k_max = 0.1 µg/L/d. The bulk attenuation rate constant of naphthalene retrieved from the classical first order decay model was 0.0038 d^− 1. The stable isotope-based biodegradation rate constant of 0.0027 d^− 1 was smaller in the reduced zone, while residual naphthalene in the oxic part of the plume further downgradient was degraded at a higher rate of 0.0038 d^− 1. With MM-kinetics a maximum degradation rate of k_max = 12 µg/L/d was determined. Although best fits were obtained by MM-kinetics, we consider the carbon stable isotope-based approach more appropriate as it is specific for biodegradation (not overall attenuation) and at the same time accounts for the dominant electron-accepting process. For o-xylene a field based isotope enrichment factor ε_field of − 1.4 could be determined using the Rayleigh model, which closely matched values from laboratory studies of o-xylene degradation under sulfate-reducing conditions.     

Transport of creosote compounds in a large, intact, macroporous clayey till column

The transport in macroporous clayey till of bromide and 25 organic compounds typical of creosote was studied using a large intact soil column. The organic compounds represented the following groups: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenolic compounds, monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEXs), and heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur in the aromatic ring structure (NSO-compounds). The clayey till column (0.5 m in height and 0.5 m in diameter) was obtained from a depth of 1–1.5 m at an experimental site located on the island of Funen, Denmark. Sodium azide was added to the influent water of the column to prevent biodegradation of the studied organic compounds. For the first 24 days of the experiment, the flow rate was 219 ml day⁻¹ corresponding to an infiltration rate of 0.0011 m day⁻¹. At this flow rate, the effluent concentrations of bromide and the organic compounds increased very slowly. The transport of bromide and the organic compounds were successfully increased by increasing the flow rate to 1353 ml day⁻¹ corresponding to 0.0069 m day⁻¹. The experiment showed that the transport of low-molecular-weight organic compounds was not retarded relative to bromide. The high-molecular-weight organic compounds were retarded significantly. The influence of sorption on the transport of the organic compounds through the column was evaluated based on the observed breakthrough curves. The observed order in the column experiment was, with increasing retardation, the following: benzene=pyrrole=toluene=o-xylene=p-xylene=ethylbenzene=phenol=benzothiophene=benzofuran<naphthalene<1-methylpyrrole<1-methylnaphthalene=indole=o-cresol=quinoline<3,5-dimethylphenol=2,4-dimethylphenol<acridine<carbazole<2-methylquinoline<fluorene<dibenzofuran<phenanthrene=dibenzothiophene. This order could not be predicted from regularly characteristics as octanol/water-distribution coefficients of the organic compounds but only from experimentally determined data. The results indicate that a thin clayey till cover of the type described in this paper does not protect groundwater against contamination by low-molecular-weight organic compounds.     

Electrochemical Monitoring of Methylparathion Degradation in an Acid Aqueous Medium in Presence of Cu(II)

Abstract

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of Cu(II) in degradation of methylparathion (o,o-dimethyl o, 4-nitrophenyl phosphoriotioate) in acid medium. Initial electrochemical characterization of Cu(II) and methylparathion was done in an aqueous medium at a pH range of 2–7. Cu(II) was studied in the presence of different anions and it was observed that its electroactivity depends on pH and is independent of the anion used. Methylparathion had two reduction signals at pH ≤ 6 and only one at pH > 6. The pesticide's transformation kinetic was then studied in the presence of Cu(II) in acid buffered aqueous medium at pH values of 2, 4, and 7. Paranitrophenol appeared as the only electroactive product at all three pH values. The reaction was first order and had k values of 5.2 × 10^?3 s^?1 at pH 2, 5.5 × 10^?3 s^?1 at pH 4 and 9.0 × 10^?3 s^?1 at pH 7. It is concluded that the principal degradation pathway of methylparathion in acid medium is a Cu(II) catalyzed hydrolysis reaction.
