四氯乙烯在不同地下水环境的生物共代谢降解

四氯乙烯是地下水中常见的污染物,采用生物方法进行处理的优点是可以实现无害化、无二次污染、处理成本低。四氯乙烯只能在厌氧条件下发生还原脱氯,目前对产甲烷环境下四氯乙烯的降解研究较多,而对较弱还原环境,如反硝化、铁锰还原和硫酸盐还原环境下四氯乙烯的脱氯行为研究甚少。本文采用批实验,研究了在不同地下水环境,包括反硝化、铁还原、硫酸盐还原、混合电子受体和天然地下水环境下四氯乙烯的脱氯性能。结果表明,铁还原环境的四氯乙烯脱氯效果最好,天然地下水环境次之,四氯乙烯的去除率分别达到91.34%和84.71%,四氯乙烯很快转化为三氯乙烯,并可以进一步转化为二氯乙烯,四氯乙烯的降解符合准一级反应动力学方程。在反硝化、硫酸盐还原、混合电子受体环境,四氯乙烯的去除以挥发为主,降解只占很小的比例,且最终的降解产物只有三氯乙烯。地下水中三价铁的存在,对于四氯乙烯脱氯起促进作用;而当地下水中硝酸盐和硫酸盐的浓度较高时,四氯乙烯脱氯受到抑制。

纳米镍/铁去除四氯乙烯的影响因素

氯代烃是地下水中最常检出的有机污染物之一,传统的处理方法需要很长时间与经费。近年来随着铁还原技术的发展,纳米铁和纳米双金属也是一个活跃的研究领域。本文利用批实验的研究方法以四氯乙烯(PCE)为目标污染物,研究纳米镍/铁在去除PCE过程中的影响因素。实验结果表明,暴露后的纳米Ni/Fe脱氯速率比不暴露时速率降低约4倍;反应温度是影响反应速率的一个重要因素之一,每升高10℃,反应速率常数kSA提高2~3倍;在一定范围内,Ni/Fe质量比越高,越利于脱氯反应的快速进行,当Ni/Fe的质量百分比为8%左右时,对氯代烃脱氯速率最快;反应液中的溶解…     

稳定氯同位素在水环境地球科学中的研究进展

氯元素广泛分布于地表水体和沉积物中,并在地表圈层之间进行迁移和转化等生物地球化学循环.氯元素有两种稳定同位素:35Cl和37Cl,其相对含量分别为35Cl=75.153%和37Cl=24.147%.氯离子在地表环境中通常没有价态变化,既不发生引起键能明显变化的氧化还原反应,也不明显参与生物作用,因此氯离子不会因元素迁移形态转变而改变同位素组成.但是,自然界中氯同位素37Cl和35Cl间存在较大的相对质量差,氯在蒸发结晶、离子扩散、渗透和对流混合等水体迁移过程中35Cl和37Cl的运移速度因其质量差而有所不同,致使氯同位素发生分馏[1].在蒸发沉积作用过程中,因37Cl相对35Cl有较大的键结合能,而优先进入固相(盐类沉积物)中.相对于其它轻稳定同位素(H、O、C)而言,稳定氯同位素的分馏并不明显,自然界中δ37Cl为-14‰～16‰,但大气圈、水圈和岩石圈的氯同位素组成大多集中在-2‰～2‰.近年来,氯同位素测定方法的改进大大提高了测试精度和准确度,使得氯同位素得以广泛应用于对蒸发盐、地下水体的演化、海水入侵、矿床形成过程中的成矿流体作用、氯代有机溶剂的分馏机理、人工合成与自然降解的有机物示踪等方面的研究[2～10].     

基于SEM-EDS及GC-MS技术研究有机氯分子结构对零价铜脱氯机制的影响

零价铜作为一种廉价金属很少应用于促进氯代有机物脱氯研究,其原因是零价铜的催化还原脱氯活性差,且反应机制复杂。本文采用机械球磨技术制备了Cu-Fe和Cu-Ni合金,研究零价铜在不同微观环境下对对氯苯酚(4-CP)的脱氯行为,旨在考察有机氯分子结构对零价铜脱氯机制的影响。应用扫描电镜-能谱(SEM-EDS)及色相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)分析发现,铜原子的微环境及有机氯分子结构均影响铜的脱氯机制。在Cu-Fe体系中,Cu遵循经典的催化加氢脱氯机制,4-CP的降解产物为苯酚;Cu-Ni体系的还原作用来源于零价铜,其中的镍金属并未起到催化加氢作用,Cu-Ni合金及单独零价铜对4-CP的降解产物是环己酮。零价铜对4-CP的降解率可达70%以上,而Cu-Fe体系的降解率仅为34%,两者对芳香族氯代物的降解效率差距显著。零价铜能够降解化学稳定性高的4-CP和苯酚,但不能降解化学稳定性相对较差的脂肪族氯代有机物(如一氯乙酸和二氯乙酸),因此认为零价铜脱氯机制并非传统的催化加氢机制,而是遵循直接电子传递还原机制,且有机氯分子的苯环结构是零价铜直接电子传递还原的诱因。

利用扫描电镜技术研究纳米Ni-Fe颗粒对四氯化碳快速脱氯的机理

纳米铁具有高的比表面积和高反应活性,能快速将氯代烯烃还原成无毒氯离子、乙烯和乙烷,但对于氯代烷烃的脱氯仍能产生大量的氯代中间或最终产物,可以通过合成制得纳米双金属提高脱氯速率和减少氯代中间产物。本文利用扫描电镜测得实验室制备的纳米Ni-Fe(2%,质量分数)颗粒直径为20~60 nm,通过批实验方式对纳米Ni-Fe降解四氯化碳的反应动力学性质、产物、持久性能和反应机理进行了探讨。结果表明,纳米Ni-Fe体系主要最终产物为42%CH4和17%CH2Cl2。与铸铁屑和纳米铁相比,纳米Ni-Fe由于催化脱氯加氢,显著提高了氯代烃脱氯速率,同时降低了有毒氯代产物的产量,且Ni作为催化剂不会进入水体引起二次污染。纳米Ni-Fe颗粒在空气中具有很好的稳定性,虽然降解四氯化碳的最终产物CH4与纳米Pd-Fe相比少13%,但由于价格便宜,有望在工程上应用于氯代有机化合物水土污染治理。     

用维他命B12进行的PCE和TCE脱氯过程中碳同位素的裂解

利用维他命B12进行的全氯乙烯和三氯乙烯还原脱氯与微生物还原脱氯是类似的，并且目前作为一种辅助技术正在应用中。碳同位素分析是在对污染物研究和监测中的一种强大且有效的手段，被用来揭示在实验室微小实验盒中通过全氯乙烯和三氯乙烯的还原脱氯中同位素效果的特性。在实验室试验中，10mg／l的维他命B12降解了大于90％初始的20mg／l的含三氯乙烯的全氯乙烯。64％至72％的全氯乙烯被降解，这是全氯乙烯降解的主要产物。在三氯乙烯试验中，147mg／1的维他命B12降解了大于90％的初始20mg／l的含cDCE的三氯乙烯。30％至35％的三氯乙烯被降解，这是降解的主要产物。在全氯乙烯和三氯乙烯两种反应物中，可以观测到强烈的同位素的裂解。这种降解可以通过全氯乙烯的-16．5‰至-15．8‰浓缩参数和三氯乙烯的一17．2‰至-16．6‰浓缩参数的瑞利模型描述。在所有试验中，裂解都是相似的，平均浓缩参数为-16．5‰土0．6‰。如此显著浓缩参数的产生可以说明同位素分析可以用来监测通过全氯乙烯和三氯乙烯的脱氯和地下水污染物降解。迹象表明，同位素裂解是在氯乙烯与维他命B12发生作用的情况下产生的，正如通过零价铁的还原脱氯已经暗示了的一样。这个反应中e值与氯乙烯厌氧生物降解中e值的差异暗示着在这两种过程中可能存在着速率确定步骤的不同。

Natural attenuation of chlorinated solvents: a comparative study

Sites contaminated by chlorinated solvents have been investigated. Sites Dolni Tresnovec and Zetor located in Czech Republic exhibit relatively reducing conditions. Primary chlorinated solvents are attenuated by reductive dechlorination processes, and plumes have probably reached steady-state at Zetor site. Terminal electron accepting processes (TEAP) are ferric iron reduction and sulfate reduction at respective Dolni Tresnovec and Zetor sites. Source of organic matter at Dolni Tresnovec site is the waste deposited at local landfill. At Zetor site reducing conditions are linked to the petroleum hydrocarbons spill from broken pipeline. In contrast, site Dubnica in Slovak Republic exhibits oxidizing conditions, and natural attenuation of chlorinated solvents occurs mostly by dispersion. Modeling by the program BIOCHLOR indicated formation of steady-state plumes close to source at Zetor site, much longer steady-state plumes at Dolni Tresnovec site, and extremely long plumes at Dubnica site. Results demonstrate an important role of redox conditions in natural attenuation of chlorinated solvents.     

Understanding pH effects on trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene adsorption to iron in permeable reactive barriers for groundwater remediation

Metallic iron filings have been increasingly used in permeable reactive barriers for remediating groundwater contaminated by chlorinated solvents. Understanding solution pH effects on rates of reductive dechlorination in permeable reactive barriers is essential for designing remediation systems that can meet treatment objectives under conditions of varying groundwater properties. The objective of this research was to investigate how the solution pH value affects adsorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) on metallic iron surfaces. Because adsorption is first required before reductive dechlorination can occur, pH effects on halocarbon adsorption energies may explain pH effects on dechlorination rates. Adsorption energies for trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene were calculated via molecular mechanics simulations using the Universal force field and a self-consistent reaction field charge equilibration scheme. A range in solution pH values was simulated by varying the amount of atomic hydrogen adsorbed on the iron. The potential energies associated trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene complexes were dominated by electrostatic interactions, and complex formation with the surface was found to result in significant electron transfer from the iron to the adsorbed halocarbons. Adsorbed atomic hydrogen was found to lower the energies of trichloroethylene complexes more than those for perchloroethylene. Attractions between atomic hydrogen and iron atoms were more favorable when trichloroethylene versus perchloroethylene was adsorbed to the iron surface. These two findings are consistent with the experimental observation that changes in solution pH affect trichloroethylene reaction rates more than those for perchloroethylene.     

Geochemical processes controlling arsenic mobility in groundwater: A case study of arsenic mobilization and natural attenuation

The behavior of As in the subsurface environment was examined along a transect of groundwater monitoring wells at a Superfund site, where enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) is being used for the remediation of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents. The transect was installed parallel to the groundwater flow direction through the treatment area. The ERD technology involves the injection of organic C (OC) to stimulate in situ microbial dechlorination processes. A secondary effect of the ERD treatment at this site, however, is the mobilization of As, as well as Fe and Mn. The concentrations of these elements are low in groundwater collected upgradient of the ERD treatment area, indicating that, in the absence of the injected OC, the As that occurs naturally in the sediment is relatively immobile. Batch experiments conducted using sediments from the site inoculated with an Fe(III)- and As(V)-reducing bacterium and amended with lactate resulted in mobilization of As, Fe and Mn, suggesting that As mobilization in the field is due to microbial processes.     

A field trial for in-situ bioremediation of 1,2-DCA

Historic spillages of chlorinated hydrocarbons at a vinyl chloride plant in the Rotterdam Botlek area in The Netherlands have lead to contamination of the underlying aquifer. The principal contaminant is 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA). The contamination is temporarily contained by a pump-and-treat system. A field trial was carried out to investigate the feasibility of treating the dissolved phase of 1,2-DCA via reductive dechlorination by injection of an aqueous solution of methanol, ammonium chloride and sodium chloride into the confined aquifer using an array of eight boreholes. Biodegradation of 1,2-DCA was localised. This was attributed to limited mixing of the carbon substrate within the test zone. In addition, clogging of recharge wells complicated groundwater circulation.     

Chlorinated volatile organic compounds found near the water surface of heavily polluted rivers

The objectives of this study were to identify the chlorinated volatile organic compounds near the water surface of two heavily polluted rivers in the south of Taiwan and compare their concentration distributions. Air samples were collected seasonally at the upstream, midstream and downstream water surfaces of each river and the chlorinated volatile organic compounds were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by gas chromatography and electron capture detector. Totally, twelve kinds of chlorinated volatile organic compounds were found at the water surfaces of both rivers and many of them were reported to be carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to human. The results showed that each chlorinated volatile organic compound had its own distribution pattern and no good correlation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds between both rivers was obtained. The chlorinated volatile organic compounds identified at the river water surface of Fong Shan Stream showed much higher concentration than those of Chuen-Tsen River. Several chlorinated volatile organic compounds, including chlorodibromomethane, hexachlorobutadiene, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethene and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane were found with much higher concentration (mean concentrations of 124.5 μg/m³, 334.5 μg/m³, 92.2 μg/m³, 268.4 μg/m³, respectively) at the water surface of Fong Shan Stream in some seasons (especially spring and summer, summer and winter, spring and winter, spring and summer, respectively) and they were reported to be possibly carcinogenic to human. Therefore, it may be concluded that the people living close to Fong Shan Stream possibly had higher health risks due to the release of volatile organic compounds from the heavily polluted river.
