表面活性剂在滇池水体中的生物降解

利用河水衰减法研究阴离子表面活性剂(LAS)和非离子表面活性剂(NIS)在滇池水体中不同条件下的生物降解规律.结果表明:在滇池自然水体中,LAS和NIS均能生物降解,在试验时间(30d)内,L,AS的降解率达95%以上,NIS的降解率达92%以上,其降解动力学遵从二级动力模型.改变水温、表面活性剂初始浓度、pH值以及添加营养物质(葡萄糖或磷酸氢二钠)均对LAS和NIS的降解有一定的影响.水温对表面活性剂生物降解影响最大,当水温从20℃增至30℃时,LAS的降解速率从0.73-1增至2.10d-1,NIS降解半衰期从11.5d减至4.4d;表面活性剂初始浓度增加,降解半衰期有所增加;表面活性剂在pH 7时的降解性能略优于pH 10时的降解性能;添加葡萄糖抑制LAS和NIS的降解,而添加磷源磷酸氢二钠对其降解有一定的促进作用;曝气能促进LAS的降解,但对NIS降解的促进作用并不明显.     

用生物模拟采样技术模拟研究不同取代氯酚在金鱼(Crassius auratus)体内的富集和降解

在实验室控制条件的流动体系中,研究了九种典型氯酚类化合物在半渗透膜生物模拟采样器件（SPMD）和金鱼体内的富集动力学过程。基于氯酚污染物在SPMD中的生物浓缩和在鱼体脂肪中生物富集的差别,研究了氯酚污染物在生物体内的降解性和降解作用的结构／效应关系。结果表明氯酚类污染物在SPMD中的浓缩作用和在鱼体中的富集作用非常相似。氯酚化合物的生物降解性随氯取代基数量增加而降低,并与氯取代基的位置有关。

Mobilization and Co-Transport of Pyrene in the Presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2 Biosurfactants in Sandy Soil Columns

Washing technologies are currently applied for the remediation of contaminated soils. The efficiency of biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to mobilize some hydrocarbons sorbed on soils has already been demonstrated. However, few studies have been made to define optimal procedures for the injection of these rhamnolipids in soil. This study examines (1) the efficiency of the biosurfactants produced by P. aeruginosa UG2 to mobilize pyrene from a contaminated sandy loam as compared to that of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS); (2) the injection procedures (surfactant concentration, pore water velocity, continuous or interrupted flow) that might affect the efficiency of pyrene mobilization using UG2 biosurfactants; and (3) the co-transport of UG2 biosurfactants and pyrene. The UG2 biosurfactants were more efficient for pyrene mobilization than SDS and had much less impact on soil. The mobilization of pyrene was approximately proportional to the mass of UG2 biosurfactants injected for both the 0.25% and the 0.50% (w/v) concentrations used. Pyrene mobilization was not greatly dependent on either the pore water velocity—about 5.9 and 10.2 inch/h (15 and 26 cm/h)—or the duration of flow interruption (5 or 15 h), suggesting that mobilization was not rate limited under these conditions. The rhamnolipids appeared to be weakly retained in the soil. Based on the experimental results, it would be advantageous to use a high UG2 biosurfactant concentration, a high pore water velocity, and possibly a flow interruption of more than 15 h in order to reduce the injected volume and the duration of the treatment required. The 0.25% UG2 biosurfactant concentration greatly enhanced pyrene transport and could facilitate contaminant recovery.     

Organic Contamination of Ground Water at Gas Works Park, Seattle, Washington

Gas Works Park, in Seattle, Washington, is located on the site of a coal and oil gasification plant that ceased operation in 1956. During operation, many types of wastes, including coal, tar, and oil, accumulated on-site. The park soil is currently (1986) contaminated with compounds such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, trace metals, and cyanide. Analyses of water samples from a network of observation wells in the park indicate that these compounds are also present in the ground water.
Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds were identified in ground water samples in concentrations as large as 200 mg/L. Concentrations of organic compounds were largest where ground water was in contact with a non-aqueous phase liquid in the soil. Where no non-aqueous phase liquid was present, concentrations were much smaller, even if the ground water was in contact with contaminated soils. This condition is attributed to weathering processes in which soluble, low-molecular-weight organic compounds are preferentially dissolved from the non-aqueous phase liquid into the ground water. Where no non-aqueous phase liquid is present, only stained soils containing relatively insoluble, high-molecular-weight compounds remain. Concentrations of organic contaminants in the soils may still remain large.     

Effects of Lime‐Based Waste Materials on Immobilization and Phytoavailability of Cadmium and Lead in Contaminated Soil

Low cost lime‐based waste materials have recently been used to immobilize metals in contaminated soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of oyster shells and eggshells as lime‐based waste materials on immobilization of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in contaminated soil, as well as their effects on metal availability to maize plants (Zea mays L.). Oyster shells and eggshells were applied to soils at 1 and 5% w/w, after which they were subject to 420 days of incubation. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test was employed to determine the mobility of Cd and Pb in soils. The results showed that the addition of waste materials effectively reduced the metal mobility as indicated by the decrease in the concentration of TCLP‐extractable Cd and Pb, and this was mainly due to significant increases in soil pH (from 6.74 in untreated soil to 7.85–8.13 in treated soil). A sequential extraction indicated that the addition of such alkaline wastes induced a significant decline in the concentration of Cd in the exchangeable fraction (from 23.64% in untreated soil to 1.90–3.81% in treated soil), but it increased the concentration of Cd in the carbonate fraction (from 19.59% in untreated soil to 36.66–46.36% in treated soil). In the case of Pb, the exchangeable fraction was also reduced (from 0.67% in untreated soil to 0.00–0.01% in treated soil), and the fraction of Pb bound to carbonate was slightly increased (from 16.61% in untreated soil to 16.41–18.25% in treated soil). Phytoavailability tests indicated that the metal concentrations in the shoots of maize plant were reduced by 63.39–77.29% for Cd and by 47.34–75.95% for Pb in the amended soils, with no significant differences being observed for the amendment types and the application rates. Overall, these results indicate that oyster shells and eggshells can be used as low cost lime‐based amendments for immobilizing Cd and Pb in contaminated soils.     

Effects of Compost Addition on Pyrene Removal from Soil Cultivated with Three Selected Plant Species

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of compost addition on the phytoremediation ability of Medicago sativa, Brassica napus, and Lolium perenne in soils contaminated with pyrene. Pyrene concentrations were evaluated after 90 days in contaminated uncultivated amended‐soil, cultivated amended‐soils, and shoots and roots of the three plant species. The addition of compost enhances significantly pyrene dissipation from 16 to 26% in uncultivated soil, whereas in cultivated soils it appears not to have any significant effect on pyrene dissipation, neither pyrene was detectable in shoots and roots of the three species examined. The high partition coefficient of pyrene to compost dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the molar absorptivity values at 280 nm (ε₂₈₀) indicate a high affinity of pyrene to compost DOM molecules, likely due to their aromatic character. These results suggest that compost improves pyrene removal from soil, possibly by promoting its adsorption onto compost DOM. This property is very important in indicating that compost can be used, besides for its amendment capacity, also as a potential tool for remediation of contaminated soils.     

Chelant‐assisted Phytostabilization of Paint‐contaminated Residential Sites

Following the basic incubation study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to elucidate the efficiency of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides L.), with or without chelating agents, in remediating lead (Pb)‐contaminated soils from actual residential sites where Pb‐based paints were used. Because the primary factor affecting Pb phytoavailability in soils is soil pH, we used two soil types widely varying in pH that have total Pb concentrations above 1500 mg kg^?1 soil. Lead‐contaminated, low pH, acidic soils were collected from residential sites in Baltimore, MD and high pH, alkaline soils were collected from residential sites in San Antonio, TX. Based on the soil characterization results, two most appropriate soils (one from each city, having similar Pb levels but variable soil physico‐chemical properties) were selected for this study. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and [S,S′]ethylenediaminedisuccinate (EDDS) were applied at 5, 10, and 15 mmol kg^?1 soil. Lead uptake and translocation in vetiver was determined on day 10 after chelants addition. Plant and soil analysis show that EDTA treated soils have maximum Pb uptake and lower total soil Pb levels. Prediction models developed for exchangeable Pb show a strong correlation for total Pb accumulated in vetiver grass. Results of the sequential chemical extraction of the soils at both initial and final time‐points, indicates a significant mobilization of Pb by the two chelants from carbonate‐bound fraction to exchangeable pool. Information on physico‐chemical properties of contaminated residential soils help in predicting Pb phytoextraction and thus further help in calibrating a successful chelant‐assisted phytoremediation model.

本文利用室内电阻率测试的方法研究了研究了饱和土和不饱和土两类土中含油污水的侵入量对其导电性的影响.测试结果表明,对于不饱和土,含油污水的侵入会改变土的饱和度从而引起其电阻率的降低,侵入量越大其电阻率越低;而饱和土的电阻率随含油污水侵入量的增大而增大直到趋于稳定.基于此,通过室内模拟土层污染和野外实地观测污染土层的方式研究了含油污水污染不同饱和度土层的电剖面异常特征,在不饱和土层中污染区域表现为相对低阻异常区而在饱和土层中表现为相对高阻异常区.通过对比不同时期的监测结果显示异常区的范围随污染区的变化而变化,并可反映出污染区的实际分布.文章分析了利用电阻率法进行含油污水污染地下介质调查的几个模糊点,对提高探测效果具有指导意义.     

In Situ Bioreclamation: A Cost-Effective Technology to Remediate Subsurface Organic Contamination

In situ bioreclamation is a proven technology that cost-effectively treats organic contamination in subsurface environments. As a remediation strategy, it reduces both the contamination dissolved in ground water, as well as residual soil-bound contamination.
To maximize biodegradation, the technology is applied after conducting laboratory studies. Application of the technology involves infiltrating necessary nutrients to the contaminated subsurface.
Results of a specific case study indicate excellent performance with rapid cleanup of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from soils and ground water.
Costs associated with in situ bioreclamation technology showed a savings of approximately 50 percent over simple pump-and-treat technology. Time frame for cleanup was shown to be approximately 30 percent of the projected time frame of simple pump-and-treat technology.     

Characteristics of heavy metals in soils under different land use in a typical karst area,Southwest China

This study investigated the distribution of six pollutant elements(Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, and As), and their relationship to soil organic carbon(SOC) in five soil profiles in the Puding area. Results show SOC content decreased exponentially to the depth of soil profiles; the vertical distribution patterns of SOC in soil profiles were partially controlled by land use. The concentrations of these pollutant elements in most soils were lower than background values, indicating that the local soil was less likely to be contaminated by foreign inputs. Geo-accumulation index values of these elements in most soil samples were less than 1, suggesting that the soil of this area may not be polluted. The concentrations of Cr, Cu, As, and Zn in soils from all land use types were significantly negatively correlated with SOC contents. Geochemical approaches confirmed that the soil of this area was less influenced by pollutant elements.     

Evaluation of an Ultrafiltration Method for Surfactant Recovery and Reuse During In Situ Washing of Contaminated Sites: Laboratory and Field Studies

Feasibility studies were conducted on the use of ultrafillration to recover surfactant from aqueous waste streams generated from the in situ surfactant washing of a site contaminated with poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and oils. A Romicon Model HF-Lab-5 ultrafiltration unit and three types of ultrafillration membranes (PM500, XM50, and CM50) were evaluated for their permeability to a nonionic surfactant previously selected for the in situ washing. Results from laboratory studies using the XM50 membrane cartridge showed that 78 percent of the surfactant passed through the membrane surface (permeate) and was recovered.
Two field-pilot tests of the ultrafiltralion system were conducted using leachate containing a mixture of water, oils, PCBs, and surfactant that was collected from an in situ surfactant-washing demonstration test. Forty-six percent of the surfactant (mass) was recovered during the first field test using the XM50 membrane. The membrane retained 94 percent of the PCBs and 89 percent of the oils. The second field test showed that the PM500 membrane recovered 67 percent of the surfactant in the permeate and retained more than 90 percent and 83 percent of the PCBs and oils, respectively. This study indicates that a significant volume of a nonionic surfactant can be recovered from leachatc mixture containing PCBs and oils by ultrafillration. The recovered surfactant could be reused to improve the economic viability of in situ surfactant washing of contaminated sites.     

Sorption von Schwermetallen durch Eisenphosphat-Kolloide in essigsauren Bodenextrakten

Sorption of Heavy Metals from Acetic Acid Extracts by Ferric Phosphate Colloids A conceivable procedure to remedy heavy metal contaminated soil materials is given with extraction of organic acids, i. e. by the use of a biological degradable extraction agent. The following concentration step of heavy metal extracts should be carried out to a great extent without a change of the low pH values. A conventional precipitation of the heavy metals by rising the pH should be avoided in order to introduce no large amounts of salts into the wastewaters of the process and furthermore, to reduce the amount of sludge to be deposited. The process scheme developed with the objective of heavy metals recycling consists of the following steps: the extraction of the heavy metal contaminated soils with weak organic acids like acetic acid or citric acid, the electrolysis of the extract, and a concentration step in order to treat metal concentrations not fully removed by electrolysis. This third step, e.g. could contain sorption on iron phosphate colloids and precipitation within the acidic environment. It has been examined whether a removal of the heavy metals Pb, Cd, Cu, Sb, Cr, Ni and Zn from acetic aqueous solutions of pH between 2 and 3 can be carried out.
