高锰酸钾氧化修复污染土壤中菲和芘的研究

利用人工污染土壤,研究了高锰酸钾对4种不同土壤中菲和芘的氧化修复效果。结果表明,当高锰酸钾浓度为33.33mmol·L^-1时,土壤中菲和芘的氧化去除率达到最大。高锰酸钾氧化去除率不仅与高锰酸钾浓度有关,还与土壤性质和老化时间有关。土壤有机质含量的增加会降低高锰酸钾对土壤中菲和芘的氧化去除率;随着老化时间的增加,高锰酸钾的氧化去除率逐渐降低。老化40d后,4种土壤中菲和芘的氧化去除率显著降低,菲的氧化去除率在14%～67%之间,芘的氧化去除率在61%～84%之间。高锰酸钾氧化前后,4种土壤中有机质含量下降范围为0.77%～9.21%。从土壤有机质含量来看,高锰酸钾氧化修复多环芳烃污染土壤对土壤质量影响较小,具有较好的应用前景。     

Quantification of Oxidant Demand and Consumption for In Situ Chemical Oxidation Design: in the Case of Potassium Permanganate

Accurate estimation of oxidant consumption during in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is the key to determining the treatment effectiveness in contaminated sites. We established the estimation model of soil oxidant demand (SOD) and simulation equations of potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) dynamic consumption based on the reaction equation of KMnO₄ with reductive minerals and the estimation model of SOD. Model validation, model application, and simulation assessment had been accomplished. Results indicated that the simulations are in good agreement with measured data. The confidence level of the SOD estimation model of KMnO₄ was over 80%, with sensitivity in decreasing order as follows: organic matter content > initial KMnO₄ concentration > reductive minerals (RMs). Particularly, the organic matter played a dominate role in the SOD model estimation. The coefficient of determination (R²) of the SOD dynamic consumption simulation equation was above 0.9. Among the various types of soils, the overall trend of SOD value and reaction period decreased as follows: clay > loam > sand. However, the consumption rate of KMnO₄ decreased in the order of clay > sand > loam. In addition, SOD value, reaction period, and reaction rate all increased as the initial concentration of KMnO₄ went up. This work can provide a methodology and reference for selecting and estimating of the optimal oxidant doses and reaction period during field application.     

Decomposition of Ethylparathion in Aqueous Solution by Ozonation

The decomposition of ethylparathion (o,o-diethyl-o-p-nitrophenylphosporothioate) in aqueous solution by ozonation was studied under various solution pH values and gaseous ozone dosages. The decomposition rate of ethylparathion was independent of solution pH and increased with ozone dosage. The surface tension of aqueous solution was found to be affected by the dissolved ethylparathion. It possibly influenced the oxidation mechanism of ethylparathion by ozonation in aqueous solution. A gas-liquid reaction model described well the transfer and reaction behaviors of reacting species in the system. The quasi-global kinetics based on a simplified consecutive reaction scheme were developed to describe the temporal behavior of ethylparathion decomposition in aqueous solution by ozonation.     

Potential for Quantification of Biologically Active Soil Carbon with Potassium Permanganate

Oxidation of soils with 333 mM potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) has been identified as a means to quantify labile soil carbon (C) and may have potential for rapid measurement of biologically active soil C. In the current study, active C pools in several soils were estimated by oxidation with a range of KMnO₄ concentrations and compared to estimates determined from carbon dioxide evolution during 28‐d incubations. Digestion with 333 mM KMnO₄ identified larger active C pools than did incubation data. However, shaking soils for 15 min with 2.5 mM KMnO₄ provided estimates of active C that accounted for 1.5 to 1.9% of the total C pools and were not significantly different than those estimated using incubation data. Oxidation with dilute KMnO₄ appears to be feasible to rapidly quantify active soil C pools. However, measurements are dependent on KMnO₄ concentration and shaking time, so great care is needed to assure consistent results.

Photocatalytic Oxidation of Reactive Red 22 in Aqueous Solution Using La2Ti2O7 Photocatalyst

This study was focused on the application of a highly doped layered perovskite, La₂Ti₂O₇, as the photocatalyst for the photocatalytic decomposition of an azo dye, Reactive Red 22 (RR22). The temporal behavior of the photocatalytic decomposition of RR22 in aqueous solution by the UV/La₂Ti₂O₇ with a batch photoreactor operated in a recirculation mode was studied under various operating conditions including solution pH, light intensity, and La₂Ti₂O₇ loading. The decomposition of RR22 in aqueous solution by La₂Ti₂O₇ photocatalytic process was found to be feasible. An empirical kinetic equation was developed for modeling the photocatalytic decomposition of RR22 in aqueous solution using UV/La₂Ti₂O₇ photocatalytic processes.     

The Oxidation of Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) in Aqueous Solution by UV/H2O2 Photolysis

The oxidation of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in solution using UV/H₂O₂ and direct UV photolysis are analyzed in this study. It was found that DEHP was 100% removal in the solution by 180-min UV/H₂O₂ treatment and 73.5% removal by 180-min direct UV photolysis. The effect of different factors, such as DEHP concentration, H₂O₂ concentration, and UV light intensity, on photochemical degradation was investigated. The degradation mechanism of DEHP and the acute toxicity of intermediates were also studied. The photochemical degradation process was found to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics. The results of our study suggested that the concentration with 40 mg/L H₂O₂ and 5 μg/mL DEHP in the solution at pH 7 with 10.0?×?10^?6 Einstein l^?1?s^?1 UV was the optimal condition for the photochemical degradation of DEHP. The photochemical degradation with UV/H₂O₂ can be an efficient method to remove DEHP in wastewater.     

Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solution by Functionalized Mesoporous Materials

In the present study, the applications of mesoporous materials based on silica, namely post-synthesized, one-pot synthesized, and pure MCM-41, were investigated for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution. The mesostructures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer?CEmmett?CTeller, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The absorptions of phosphate by the mesoporous adsorbents were examined, with different adsorption models used to describe the equilibrium and kinetic data. The maximum adsorption capacities of the mesostructure adsorbents were found to be 45.162, 40.806, and 31.123 mg g^?C1 for the post-synthesized, one-pot synthesized, and pure MCM-41, respectively. The kinetic data showed that the adsorptions of phosphate onto the post-synthesized and pure MCM-41 followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, whereas the one-pot synthesized adsorbent was described by the pseudo-second-order model.

Sorption of Copper(II) from Aqueous Solution by Peat

The use of peat for removal of copper(II) from aqueous solution has been investigated at various initial copper ion concentrations and masses of peat. The equilibrium sorption study can be described by the Langmuir equation and defined in terms of the operating lines for each batch contacting system. The mechanisms of the rate of sorption of copper(II) were analysed using the Elovich equation and a pseudo-second-order model. Both rate mechanisms provided a very high degree of correlation of the experimental sorption rate data suggesting either model could be used in design applications.     

The Adsorption of Fluoride Ion from Aqueous Solution by Activated Alumina

The adsorption of fluoride ion in aqueous solution by using alumina was studied in this research. The experimental resultsindicated that the removal efficiency was influenced significantly by solution pH and the optimum operating pH wasfound to be in the range of 5 to 7. For neutral and acidic solutions, the adsorption capacities of fluoride by alumina wasinterfered by the presence of sulfate. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms can well describe the equilibrium behaviorsof the adsorption processes. The experimentally determined lowvalues of activation energy indicate nonspecific adsorption isthe predominant mechanism. The surface reaction-limiting batchkinetic model can adequately describe the removal behaviors offluoride ion by alumina adsorption in the batch system.

Optimization of Ammonia Removal from Aqueous Solution by Microwave-Assisted Air Stripping

In this study, the optimum conditions for the ammonia removal from aqueous solution by microwave-assisted air stripping have been investigated at pH 11. Ammonia solution with five different initial ammonia concentrations was prepared synthetically. The Taguchi method was applied to optimize the ammonia removal conditions. Initial ammonia concentration, air flow rate, temperature, stirring speed, microwave radiation power, and radiation time were defined as the optimization parameters. Experiments were carried out at five different levels for each operational parameter. The results of the experiments revealed that 1800 ppm of initial ammonia concentration, 7.5 L min^?1 of air flow rate, 60 °C of temperature, 500 rpm of stirring speed, and 500 W of microwave radiation power for 180 min. of microwave radiation time are optimum conditions for complete ammonia removal. In addition to present experimental data, the optimum operational conditions predicted by the balanced characteristics of orthogonal array were confirmed experimentally. Finally, the effect of optimization parameters was discussed in detail.

DNAPL TCE Oxidation with Permanganate: Influence of the Phase Transfer Catalyst Pentyltriphenylphosphonium

Dense nonaqueous phase (DNAPL) trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation by potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) was investigated in the presence of the cationic surfactant pentyltriphenylphosphonium (PTPP) bromide, acting as a phase transfer catalyst. Series of batch tests were performed in 5.0-mL conical vials containing Milli-Q water and 1.0 mM DNAPL TCE with initial permanganate concentrations ([MnO₄ ^?]₀) of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mM, adding PTPP (0, 10, and 20 mol% of permanganate, respectively). Chloride ion (Cl^?) and MnO₄ ^? in water samples were analyzed to observe MnO₄ ^? consumption and TCE degradation over the elapsed time (0 to 90 min). The calculated values of pseudo first-order rate constants for MnO₄ ^? consumption indicated that the rate of MnO₄ ^? depletion increased with higher mole percent PTPP. At experimental conditions of 1.0 and 2.0 mM [MnO₄ ^?]₀, analyses of Cl^? concentration showed that higher mole percent of PTPP induced greater Cl^? release, indicating faster TCE oxidation. On the other hand, for 3.0 and 5.0 mM [MnO₄ ^?]₀, the concentration of Cl^? was lower with the presence of PTPP. This result indicated that MnO₄ ^? had migrated further into the inner space of DNAPL, and consequently, the Cl^? took a longer time to diffuse from DNAPL to an aqueous phase.     

Natural Sunlight Induced Photooxidation of Naphthalene in Aqueous Solution

There is surprisingly little data on the photooxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) under environmentally relevant lighting conditions. The aqueous photooxidation reactions of naphthalene (the simplest and most water soluble PAH) were investigated using natural sunlight as a light source.Six of the major reaction products were identified, including 1-naphthol, coumarin, and two hydroxyquinones. The reactionproducts were consistent with initial [2,2] or [2,4] photocycloaddition reactions, with subsequent oxidations and/or rearrangements. The oxidation reactions in aqueous phase favoredproducts different from those observed in atmospheric oxidation reactions. However, similar photoproducts were observed withtitanium catalysts or in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Theproducts from aqueous photooxidation were also similar to the products resulting from naphthalene metabolism. The observedphotooxidation products were generated by mechanisms that areexpected to occur with other PAHs as well, and thus naphthaleneoxidation provides a model for possible photoreactions of largerPAHs.     

Removal of Tartrazine from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption on Activated Red Mud

In this study, activated red mud was used to develop an effective adsorbent in order to remove a toxic azo dye (tartrazine E102) from aqueous solutions. To increase the adsorption capacity, the red mud was activated by acid-heat treatment using 20 wt.% HCl (RM-HCl). To establish the optimum operating parameters, the influence of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial dye concentration, and stirring rate was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium was studied using Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin isotherm models, and the characteristic parameters for each adsorption isotherm were determined. The kinetics of the adsorption process was analyzed by means of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The maximum removal efficiency obtained under optimum conditions was 84.72%. These results were in accordance with the isotherm and kinetic data. The results suggested that tartrazine adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and also that fits Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 136.98 mg/g.     

Mechanism and Degradation Pathways of Bisphenol A in Aqueous Solution by Strong Ionization Discharge

The effects of anthropogenic noise have garnered significant attention in marine ecosystems, but comparatively less is known about its impacts on freshwater ecosystems. For fish that provide parental care, the effects of acoustic disturbance could have fitness-level consequences if nest tending behavior is altered. This study explored the effects of motorboat noise on the parental behavior of nesting male smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu; Lacépède, 1802), an important freshwater game fish in North America that provides sole paternal care to offspring. Specifically, we evaluated how boat noise proximity to a bass nest (ranging from 4.5 to 90 m) influenced paternal care behaviors. A total of 73 fish were exposed to a 3-min motorboat playback designed to simulate a boat sound that typically occurs in areas near littoral nesting sites. The fish were video recorded, and their behaviors were analyzed before, during, and after exposure to the playback. Residency time was the only behavioral metric to be adversely affected by noise playbacks but only when in close proximity to the speaker. Our results suggest that boat noise may have an impact on bass reproductive fitness in specific contexts where combustion motors are used near shore during the nesting period. The largely null findings may indicate a resilience to boat noise and/or habituation to the noise. In addition, boats displace water and create waves that represent another form of disturbance that could be experienced by fish but was not simulated here. Future research should integrate behavioral and physiological responses to boat noise and other aspects of boat disturbance to better understand the fitness impacts of boating activity on freshwater fish.

     

Effect of Solution pH on the Hydrolysis and Photolysis of Diazinon in Aqueous Solution

The hydrolytic and photolytic decomposition of diazinon were found to be highly dependent on the solution pH and can be adequately described with a two species distribution model. At light intensities less than 60 W m^-2, the photolytic decomposition rate of diazinon increased linearly with the UV light intensity. Both the hydrolytic and photolytic product of diazinon was identified to be 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-pyrimidinol (IMP). No further decomposition of IMP was found by hydrolysis, but the S-P bond of the other portion of diazinon molecule after production of IMP (which could be a thiophosphonate) may be ruptured by UV photolylsis to release a sulfate ion.
