Temporal depositional rates are important in order to understand the production and occurrence of perchlorate (ClO4−) as limited information exists regarding the impact of anthropogenic production or atmospheric pollution on ClO4− deposition. Perchlorate concentrations in discrete ice core samples from the Eclipse Icefield (Yukon Territory, Canada) and
Upper Fremont Glacier (Wyoming, USA) were analyzed using ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate temporal
changes in the deposition of ClO4
− in North America. The ice core samples cover a time period from 1726 to 1993 and 1970 to 2002 for the Upper Fremont Glacier
(UFG) and Eclipse ice cores, respectively. The average ClO4
− concentration in the Eclipse ice core for the time period from 1970 to 1973 was 0.6 ± 0.3 ng L−1, with higher values of 2.3 ± 1.7 and 2.2 ± 2.0 ng L−1 for the periods 1982–1986 and 1999–2002, respectively. All pre-1980 ice core samples from the UFG had ClO4
− concentrations <0.2 ng L−1, and the post-1980 samples ranged from <0.2 ng L−1 to a maximum of 2.6 ng L−1 for the year 1992. A significant positive correlation (R = 0.75, N = 15, p < 0.001) of ClO4− with SO42− was found for the annual UFG ice core layers and of ClO4
− with SO42− and NO3− in sub-annual Eclipse ice samples (R > 0.3, N = 121, p < 0.002). The estimated yearly ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core ranged from 0.6 (1970) to 4.7 μg m−2 year−1 (1982) and the UFG from <0.1 (pre-1980) to 1.4 μg m−2 year−1 (1992). There was no consistent seasonal variation in the ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core, in contrast to a previous study on the Arctic region. The presence of ClO4− in these ice cores might correspond to an intermittent source such as volcanic eruptions and/or any anthropogenic forcing
that may directly or indirectly aid in atmospheric ClO4− formation. 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of inorganic nitrogen (N) and root carbon (C) addition on decomposition
of organic matter (OM). Soil was incubated for 200 days with nine treatments (three levels of N (no addition (N0) = 0, low
N (NL) = 0.021, high N (NH) = 0.083 mg N g−1 soil) × three levels of C (no addition (C0) = 0, low C (CL) = 5, high C (CH) = 10 mg root g−1 soil)). The carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux rates, inorganic N concentration, pH, and potential activities of β-glucosidase and oxidative enzyme were measured
during incubation. At the beginning and the end of incubation, the native soil organic carbon (SOC) and root-derived SOC were
quantified by using a natural labeling technique based on the differences in δ
13C between C3 and C4 plants. Overall, the interaction between C and N was not significant. The decomposition of OM in the NH
treatment decreased. This could be attributed to the formation of recalcitrant OM by N because the potentially mineralizable
C pool was significantly lower in the NH treatment (3.1 mg C g−1) than in the N0 treatment (3.6 mg C g−1). In root C addition treatments, the CO2 efflux rate was generally in order of CH > CL > C0 over the incubation period. Despite no differences in the total SOC concentration
among C treatments, the native SOC in the CH treatment (18.29 mg C g−1) was significantly lower than that in the C0 treatment (19.16 mg C g−1). 相似文献

We compared, from 2004 through 2006, rates of soil–atmosphere CH4 exchange at permanently established sampling sites in a temperate forest exposed to ambient (control plots; ∼380 μL L−1) or elevated (ambient + 200 μL L−1) CO2 since August 1996. A total of 880 observations showed net atmospheric CH4 consumption (flux from the atmosphere to the soil) from all static chambers most of the time at rates varying from 0.02 mg m−2 day−1 to 4.5 mg m−2 day−1. However, we infrequently found net CH4 production (flux from the soil to the atmosphere) at lower rates, 0.01 mg m−2 day−1 to 0.08 mg m−2 day−1. For the entire study, the mean (±SEM) rate of net CH4 consumption in control plots was higher than the mean for CO2-enriched plots, 0.55 (0.03) versus 0.51 (0.03) mg m−2 day−1. Annual rates of 184, 196, and 197 mg m−2 for net CH4 consumption at control plots during the three calendar years of this study were 19, 10, and 8% higher than comparable values
for CO2 enriched plots. Differences between treatments were significant in 2004 and 2005 and nearly significant in 2006. Volumetric
soil water content was consistently higher at CO2-enriched sites and a mixed-effects model identified a significant soil moisture x CO2 interaction on net atmospheric CH4 consumption. Increased soil moisture at CO2-enriched sites likely increases diffusional resistance of surface soils and the frequency of anaerobic microsites supporting
methanogenesis, resulting in reduced rates of net atmospheric CH4 consumption. Our study extends our observations of reduced net atmospheric CH4 consumption at CO2-enriched plots to nearly five continuous years, suggesting that this is likely a sustained negative feedback to increasing
atmospheric CO2 at this site. 相似文献

Since swine wastewater is used by farmers for soil fertilization, evaluation of toxic compounds or micro-contaminants of separate
streams is required. This paper uses the toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedure for the physicochemical and ecotoxicological
characterization of swine wastewater. To distinguish the most important toxic compounds, a physicochemical characterization
and phase I-TIE procedure were performed. The acute toxic effect of swine wastewater and treated fractions (phase II-TIE)
were evaluated using Daphnia magna determining 48-h LC50. Results show a high level of conductivity (23.5 μS cm−1), which is explained as due to the concentration of ions, such as ammonium (NH4+–N 1.6 g L−1), sulfate (SO42− 397.3 mg L−1), and chlorine (Cl− 1,230.0 mg L−1). The acute toxicity of the swine wastewater was evaluated on D. magna (48-h LC50 = 3.4%). Results of the different water treatments indicate that anionic exchange treatments could reduce 22.5% of swine
wastewater’s acute toxicity by reducing chlorine (to around 51%) and conductivity (8.5%). On the other hand, cationic exchange
treatment increased acute toxicity on D. magna (% RT = −624.4%), by reducing NH4+–N (around 100%) and total nitrogen (95.5%). This finding suggests that part of the toxicity comes from anionic compounds,
such as chlorine. 相似文献

The photochemical degradation of two widely used organophosphorothioate insecticides, fenitrothion and diazinon, was investigated
in aqueous solutions containing three separate dissolved constituents commonly found in natural waters (NO3−, CO32− and dissolved organic matter (DOC)). The effect of these constituents on pesticide photodegradation was compared to degradation
in “constituent-free” pure water. Solutions were irradiated in an Atlas solar simulator fitted with a UV-filtered Xenon arc
lamp with light irradiances (500 W m−2) measured using a spectral radiometer to allow derivation of quantum yields of degradation. Fenitrothion absorbs light within
the solar UV range (λ, 295–400 nm) and underwent direct photolysis in pure water whereas diazinon (λ
max ∼250 nm) showed no observable loss over the experimental period. However, photodegradation conforming to pseudo-first-order
kinetics was observed for both chemicals in the presence of the dissolved constituents (at concentrations typically observed
in natural waters), with the rates of photodecay observed in the order of NO3− > CO32− ≅ DOC, with the highest rates observed in the 3 mM NO3− solutions (k
Fen = 0.155 ± 0.041 h−1; k
Dia = 0.084 ± 0.0007 h−1). For diazinon this rate was comparable to fenitrothion photolysis in pure water (k
fen 0.072 ± 0.0078 h−1), highlighting the importance of NO3− on a non-photolabile pesticide, with indirect photodegradation probably attributable to the light-induced release of aqueous
hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from NO3−. Suwannee river fulvic acid (serving as DOC) did not statistically affect the rate of photodecay for fenitrothion relative
to its photolysis in MilliQ water, although measured rates in DOC solutions were slightly lower. However, measurable rates
of photodecay were apparent for diazinon in the DOC solutions, indicating that fulvic acid, possibly in the form of “excited”
triplet-state-DOC plays a role in diazinon transformation. Hydrolysis was not apparent for fenitrothion (in buffered solutions
of pH 5–9) but was notable for diazinon at the lower pHs of 5 and 3 (k
Dia-hyd 0.3414 h−1 at pH 3 and 0.228 h−1 at pH 5), resulting in the formation of the degradate, 2-isopropyl–6-methyl–4-pyrimidinol. This work highlights the importance
of dissolved constituents on abiotic photodegradation of pesticides and it is recommended that these constituents be incorporated
into laboratory-based fate-testing regimes. 相似文献

Crop residues with high C/N ratio immobilize N released during decomposition in soil, thus reducing N losses through leaching,
denitrification, and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission. A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted for 84 days under controlled conditions (24°C and moisture content
55% of water-holding capacity) to study the influence of sugarcane, maize, sorghum, cotton and lucerne residues, and mineral
N addition, on N mineralization–immobilization and N2O emission. Residues were added at the rate of 3 t C ha−1 to soil with, and without, 150 kg urea N ha−1. The addition of sugarcane, maize, and sorghum residues without N fertilizer resulted in a significant immobilization of
soil N. Amended soil had significantly (P < 0.05) lower NO3−–N, which reached minimum values of 2.8 mg N kg−1 for sugarcane (at day 28), 10.3 mg N kg−1 for maize (day 7), and 5.9 mg N kg−1 for sorghum (day 7), compared to 22.7 mg N kg−1 for the unamended soil (day 7). During 84 days of incubation, the total mineral N in the residues + N treatments were decreased
by 45 mg N kg−1 in sugarcane, 34 mg kg−1 in maize, 29 mg kg−1 in sorghum, and 16 mg kg−1 in cotton amended soil compared to soil + N fertilizer, although soil NO3−–N increased by 7 mg kg−1 in lucerne amended soil. The addition of residues also significantly increased amended soil microbial biomass C and N. Maximum
emissions of N2O from crop residue amended soils occurred in the first 4–5 days of incubation. Overall, after 84 days of incubation, the
cumulative N2O emission was 25% lower with cotton + N fertilizer, compared to soil + N fertilizer. The cumulative N2O emission was significantly and positively correlated with NO3−–N (r = 0.92, P < 0.01) and total mineral N (r = 0.93, P < 0.01) after 84 days of incubation, and had a weak but significant positive correlation with cumulative CO2 in the first 3 and 5 days of incubation (r = 0.59, P < 0.05). 相似文献

Water quantity and quality were monitored for 3 years in a 360-m-long wetland with riparian fences and plants in a pastoral
dairy farming catchment. Concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and Escherichia coli were 210–75,200 g N m−3, 12–58,200 g P m−3 and 2–20,000 most probable number (MPN)/100 ml, respectively. Average retentions (±standard error) for the wetland over 3 years
were 5 ± 1%, 93 ± 13% and 65 ± 9% for TN, TP and E. coli, respectively. Retentions for nitrate–N, ammonium–N, filterable reactive P and particulate C were respectively −29 ± 5%,
32 ± 10%, −53 ± 24% and 96 ± 19%. Aerobic conditions within the wetland supported nitrification but not denitrification and
it is likely that there was a high conversion rate from dissolved inputs of N and P in groundwater, to particulate N and P
and refractory dissolved forms in the wetland. The wetland was notable for its capacity to promote the formation of particulate
forms and retain them or to provide conditions suitable for retention (e.g. binding of phosphate to cations). Nitrogen retention
was generally low because about 60% was in dissolved forms (DON and NOX–N) that were not readily trapped or removed. Specific yields for N, P and E. coli were c. 10–11 kg N ha−1 year−1, 0.2 kg P ha−1 year−1 and ≤109 MPN ha−1 year−1, respectively, and generally much less than ranges for typical dairy pasture catchments in New Zealand. Further mitigation
of catchment runoff losses might be achieved if the upland wetland was coupled with a downslope wetland in which anoxic conditions
would promote denitrification. 相似文献

The present study demonstrates the usefulness of natural microbial growth-promoting compounds for improving the stability
and life of vermicompost-based (both granular and its aqueous extract) bioformulations. Granular vermicompost maintained the
number of cells of Rhizobium meliloti Rmd 201 up to 5.9 × 108 after 180 days at 28°C compared with 2.1 × 108 in charcoal (powdered), while aqueous extract of the vermicompost supported the 5.6 × 107 rhizobia numbers even after 270 days. The addition of 25 μL/mL cow urine and 0.01 mM calliterpinone, a natural plant growth
promoter, increased the rhizobia number significantly in granular vermicompost and its aqueous extract, respectively. 相似文献

More than 30 epiphytic lichens, collected in Agadir (Morroco) and along a 150-km transect from the Atlantic Ocean eastward,
were analyzed for their metal content and lead isotopic composition. This dataset was used to evaluate atmospheric metal contamination
and the impact of the city on the surrounding area. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn (average ± 1 SD) were 20.9 ± 15.2 μg g−1, 13.8 ± 9.0 μg g−1, and 56.6 ± 26.6 μg g−1, respectively, with the highest values observed in lichens collected within the urban area. The 206Pb/207Pb and 208Pb/207Pb ratios in the lichens varied from 1.146 to 1.186 and from 2.423 to 2.460, respectively. Alkyllead-gasoline sold in Morocco
by the major petrol companies gave isotopic ratios of 206Pb/207Pb = 1.076–1.081 and 208Pb/207Pb = 2.348–2.360. These new, homogeneous values for gasoline-derived lead improve and update the scarce isotopic database
of potential lead sources in Morocco, and may be of great value to future environmental surveys on the presence of lead in
natural reservoirs, where it persists over time (e.g., soils and sediments). The interest of normalizing metal concentrations
in lichens to concentrations of a lithogenic element is demonstrated by the consistency of the results thus obtained with
lead isotopic ratios. Leaded gasoline contributed less than 50% of the total amount of lead accumulated in lichens, even in
areas subject to high vehicular traffic. This strongly suggests that the recent banishment of leaded gasoline in Morocco will
not trigger a drastic improvement in air quality, at least in Agadir. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, soil microbial community structure, bulk density, total pore volume, total C and N, aggregate mean weight diameter
and stability index were determined in arable soils under three different types of tillage: reduced tillage (RT), no tillage
(NT) and conventional tillage (CT). Thirty intact soil cores, each in a 25 × 25-m2 grid, were collected to a depth of 10 cm at the seedling stage of winter wheat in February 2008 from Maulde (50°3′ N, 3°43′ W),
Belgium. Two additional soil samples adjacent to each soil core were taken to measure the spatial variance in biotic and physicochemical
conditions. The microbial community structure was evaluated by means of phospholipid fatty acids analysis. Soil cores were
amended with 15 kg NO3−-N ha−1, 15 kg NH4+-N ha−1 and 30 kg ha−1 urea-N ha−1 and then brought to 65% water-filled pore space and incubated for 21 days at 15°C, with regular monitoring of N2O emissions. The N2O fluxes showed a log-normal distribution with mean coefficients of variance (CV) of 122%, 78% and 90% in RT, NT and CT, respectively,
indicating a high spatial variation. However, this variability of N2O emissions did not show plot scale spatial dependence. The N2O emissions from RT were higher (p < 0.01) than from CT and NT. Multivariate analysis of soil properties showed that PC1 of principal component analysis had
highest loadings for aggregate mean weight diameter, total C and fungi/bacteria ratio. Stepwise multiple regression based
on soil properties explained 72% (p < 0.01) of the variance of N2O emissions. Spatial distributions of soil properties controlling N2O emissions were different in three different tillages with CV ranked as RT > CT > NT. 相似文献

Cotton Verticillium wilt is a destructive soil-borne disease affecting cotton production. In this study, application of bio-organic fertilizer
(BIO) at the beginning of nursery growth and/or at the beginning of transplanting was evaluated for its ability to control
Verticillium dahliae Kleb. The most efficient control of cotton Verticillium wilt was achieved when the nursery application of BIO was combined with a second application in transplanted soil, resulting
in a wilt disease incidence of only 4.4%, compared with 90.0% in the control. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis patterns
showed that the consecutive applications of BIO at nursery and transplanting stage resulted in the presence of a unique group
of fungi not found in any other treatments. Humicola sp., Metarhizium anisopliae, and Chaetomium sp., which were considered to be beneficial fungi, were found in the BIO treatment, whereas some harmful fungi, such as Alternaria alternate, Coniochaeta velutina, and Chaetothyriales sp. were detected in the control. After the consecutive applications of BIO at nursery and transplanting stage, the V. dahliae population in the rhizosphere soil in the budding period, flowering and boll-forming stage, boll-opening stage, and at harvest
time were 8.5 × 102, 3.1 × 102, 4.6 × 102, and 1.7 × 102 colony-forming units per gram of soil (cfu g−1), respectively, which were significantly lower than in the control (6.1 × 103, 3.4 × 103, 5.2 × 103, and 7.0 × 103 cfu g−1, respectively). These results indicate that the suggested application mode of BIO could effectively control cotton Verticillium wilt by significantly changing the fungal community structure and reducing the V. dahliae population in the rhizosphere soil. 相似文献

Two of 187 fungal isolates (Aspergillus niger 1B and 6A) displaying superior phosphate (P) solubilization and hydrolytic enzyme secretion were studied using P forms of
calcium (Ca-P), iron (Fe-P), and aluminum (Al-P). Phosphate solubilization in a sucrose-basal salt (SB) broth was increased
and pH decreased by both isolates. In Ca-P medium, solubilization for 6A was approximately 322 μg P mL−1 and pH decreased by 4.2 units to 2.3 in 72 h. However, when pH value of the SB broth was lowered to 2.5 using HCl, 65.3 ± 0.4 μg
mL−1 of P was released from Ca-P, whereas trace amounts of P were released from Fe-P and Al-P. Both isolates displayed enhanced
Al-P solubilization using NH4Cl rather than KNO3 as the N source; final pH values were not significantly different. With Ca-P, gluconic acid was predominantly produced by
1B and 6A, whereas oxalic acid predominated with Fe-P and Al-P. Addition of gluconic acid (final concentration of 8.5 μmol
mL−1) to Ca-P-supplemented SB lowered pH (2.9) and solubilized phosphate (146.0 ± 1.0 μg mL−1). Similarly, addition of oxalic acid (final concentration 6.6 μmol mL−1) to Ca-P- and Fe-P-amended media solubilized P (60.2 ± 0.9 and 21.6 ± 2.1 μg mL−1, respectively), although these quantities were significantly lower than those detected in unamended SB. The presence of unidentified
P solubilized compound(s) in the dialyzed (MW>500) supernatant warrants further study. In pot experiments, significant increases
in plant (Brassica chinensis Linn.) dry weight and N and P contents were observed with the addition of isolate 6A, when a small amount of organic fertilizer
together with either rock phosphate (South African apatite) or Ca-P served as the main P sources. 相似文献

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play an important role in the biodegradation of natural and xenobiotic organic
compounds in soil. They can also alter heavy metal bioavailability and contribute to phytoremediation in the presence or absence
of synthetic metal chelating agents. In this study, the inhibitory effect of Cd2+ and Ni2+ at different concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+, and the influence of the widely used chelator EDTA on growth of the PGPR Pseudomonas brassicacearum in a mineral salt medium with a mixture of four main plant exudates (glucose, fructose, citrate, succinate) was investigated.
Therefore, the bacteriostatic effect of Cd2+, Ni2+ and EDTA on the maximum specific growth rate and the determination of EC50 values was used to quantify inhibitory impact.
At high concentrations of Ca2+ (800 μmol L-1) and Mg2+ (1,250 μmol L-1), only a small inhibitory effect of Cd2+ and Ni2+ on growth of P. brassicacearum was observed (EC50 Cd2+, 18,849 ± 80 μmol L−1; EC50 Ni2+, 3,578 ± 1,002 μmol L−1). The inhibition was much greater at low concentrations of Ca2+ (25 μmol L−1) and Mg2+ (100 μmol L−1) (EC50 Cd2+, 85 ± 0.5 μmol L−1 and EC Ni2+, 62 ± 1.8 μmol L−1). For the chosen model system, a competitive effect of the ions Cd2+ and Ca2+ on the one hand and Ni2+ and Mg2+ on the other hand can be deduced. However, the toxicity of both, Cd2+ and Ni2+, could be significantly reduced by addition of EDTA, but if this chelating agent was added in stoichiometric excess to the
cations, it also exhibited an inhibitory effect on growth of P. brassicacearum. 相似文献

Secondary soil salinilization is a big problem in irrigated agriculture. We have studied the effects of irrigation-induced
salinity on microbial biomass of soil under traditional cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) monoculture in Sayhunobod district of the Syr-Darya province of northwest Uzbekistan. Composite samples were randomly
collected at 0–30 cm depth from weakly saline (2.3 ± 0.3 dS m−1), moderately saline (5.6 ± 0.6 dS m−1), and strongly saline (7.1 ± 0.6 dS m−1) replicated fields, 2-mm sieved, and analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, total C, organic C (COrg), and extractable C, total N and P, and exchangeable ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, Cl−, and CO32−), microbial biomass (Cmic). The Na+ and Cl− concentrations were 36-80% higher in strongly saline compared to weakly saline soil. The COrg concentration was decreased by 10% and CExt by 40% by increasing soil salinity, whereas decrease in Cmic ranged from 18-42% and the percentage of COrg present as Cmic from 8% to 26%. We conclude that irrigation-induced secondary salinity significantly affects soil chemical properties and
the size of soil microflora. 相似文献

The sorption of four endocrine disruptors, bisphenol A (BPA), estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2)
in tropical sediment samples was studied in batch mode under different conditions of pH, time, and sediment amount. Data obtained
from sorption experiments using the endocrine disruptors (EDs) and sediments containing different amounts of organic matter
showed that there was a greater interaction between the EDs and organic matter (OM) present in the sediment, particularly
at lower pH values. The pseudosecond order kinetics model successfully explained the interaction between the EDs and the sediment
samples. The theoretical and experimentally obtained q
e values were similar, and k values were smaller for higher SOM contents. The k
F values, obtained from the Freundlich isotherms, varied in the ranges 4.2–7.4 × 10−2 (higher OM sediment sample, S2) and 1.7 × 10−3–3.1 × 10−2 (lower OM sediment sample, S1), the latter case indicating an interaction with the sediment that increased in the order: EE2 > > E2 > E1 > BPA. These results
demonstrate that the availability of endocrine disruptors may be directly related to the presence of organic material in sediment
samples. Studies of this kind provide an important means of understanding the mobility, transport, and/or reactivity of this
type of emergent contaminant in aquatic systems. 相似文献

Effects of moisture and temperature on greenhouse gas emissions and C and N leaching losses in soil treated with biogas slurry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of soil moisture, irrigation pattern, and temperature on gaseous and
leaching losses of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from soils amended with biogas slurry (BS). Undisturbed soil cores were amended
with BS (33 kg N ha−1) and incubated at 13.5°C and 23.5°C under continuous irrigation (2 mm day−1) or cycles of strong irrigation and partial drying (every 6 weeks, 1 week with 12 mm day−1). During the 6 weeks after BS application, on average, 30% and 3.8% of the C and N applied with BS were emitted as carbon
dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), respectively. Across all treatments, a temperature increase of 10°C increased N2O and CO2 emissions by a factor of 3.7 and 1.7, respectively. The irrigation pattern strongly affected the temporal production of CO2 and N2O but had no significant effect on the cumulative production. Nitrogen was predominantly lost in the form of nitrate (NO3−). On average, 16% of the N applied was lost as NO3−. Nitrate leaching was significantly increased at the higher temperature (P < 0.01), while the irrigation pattern had no effect (P = 0.63). Our results show that the C and N turnovers were strongly affected by BS application and soil temperature whereas
irrigation pattern had only minor effects. A considerable proportion of the C and N in BS were readily available for soil
microorganisms. 相似文献

Simple and rapid chemical indices of soil nitrogen (N)-supplying capacity are necessary for fertilizer recommendations. In
this study, pot experiment involving rice, anaerobic incubation, and chemical analysis were conducted for paddy soils collected
from nine locations in the Taihu Lake region of China. The paddy soils showed large variability in N-supplying capacity as
indicated by the total N uptake (TNU) by rice plants in a pot experiment, which ranged from 639.7 to 1,046.2 mg N pot−1 at maturity stage, representing 5.8% of the total soil N on average. Anaerobic incubation for 3, 14, 28, and 112 days all
resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) correlation between cumulative mineral NH4+-N and TNU, but generally better correlations were obtained with increasing incubation time. Soil organic C, total soil N,
microbial C, and ultraviolet absorbance of NaHCO3 extract at 205 and 260 nm revealed no clear relationship with TNU or cumulative mineral NH4+-N. Soil C/N ratio, acid KMnO4-NH4+-N, alkaline KMnO4-NH4+-N, phosphate–borate buffer extractable NH4+-N (PB-NH4+-N), phosphate–borate buffer hydrolyzable NH4+-N (PBHYDR-NH4+-N) and hot KCl extractable NH4+-N (HKCl−NH4+-N) were all significantly (P < 0.05) related to TNU and cumulative mineral NH4+-N of long-term incubation (>28 days). However, the best chemical index of soil N-supplying capacity was the soil C/N ratio,
which showed the highest correlation with TNU at maturity stage (R = −0.929, P < 0.001) and cumulative mineral NH4+-N (R = −0.971, P < 0.001). Acid KMnO4-NH4+-N plus native soil NH4+-N produced similar, but slightly worse predictions of soil N-supplying capacity than the soil C/N ratio. 相似文献

were found to create absorbance in the spectral range required for CP quantification. Analysis at pH 12 gave greater absorption
and sensitivity for the method compared with pH 5.6. The calibration curves of the proposed methods were linear in the concentration
ranges 0.0061–0.61 and 0.0078–0.78 mM with detection limit of 0.0006 and 0.0008 mM for dichlorophenols and monochlorophenols,
respectively. The oxidation kinetics of five chlorophenols in aqueous solution with excess potassium permanganate were evaluated
using the analytical method. The pseudo-first-order reaction rates were found to be relatively rapid 1.42 × 10−3 to 0.024 s−1 and followed the sequence 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) > 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP) > 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) > 2,4-dichlorophenol
(2, 4-DCP) > 3-chlorophenol (3-CP). The apparent second-order rate constant was calculated from the measured pseudo-first-order
rate constant with respect to CP with initial KMnO4 concentration (1.5 mM) and follows the same sequence of pseudo-first-order rate constant. This shows that chlorine atoms
in the structure of chlorophenol had a significant influence on the oxidation of chlorophenols by potassium permanganate.
Permanganate can be used for the treatment of chlorophenol-contaminated soil and groundwater. 相似文献

The industrial processing of precious stones is a source of revenue for several Brazilian towns, especially in the state of
Rio Grande do Sul. Given the growing number of small-sized companies that process precious stones, wastewater production is
inevitable and is a cause for concern inasmuch as preservation of nature is considered. The present study investigates the
detoxification of the wastewater produced by the process of rhodamine B dyeing using oxidation processes. Ozonization (O3), ultraviolet irradiation (UV), and O3/UV methods were assessed. Some of the parameters used to measure the efficiency of the analyzed treatments included COD,
ecotoxicity (Daphnia magna), cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity assays (Allium cepa assays). Results show predominance of negative and local environmental impacts, which are reversible in more than 70% of
cases. The major proposed reversibility measures were the change in the process layout and dye wastewater segregation. Among
the analyzed methods, ozonization proved to be more efficient in decolorization, with 60 min of treatment, pH = 9 and dosage
of 5.705 mg O3/mg of rhodamine B. A pseudo first-order reaction, with a kinetic constant of 7.5 × 10−2 min−1, was observed. The cytotoxic and genotoxic effects were assessed for both raw and treated wastewaters. Despite complete decolorization,
cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assays revealed an EC50 of 28.6, in addition to chromosome aberrations in 40% of dividing cells for the treated wastewater. 相似文献

Consumer demand for cleaned squid generates a substantial amount of waste that must be properly disposed of, creating an economic
burden on processors. A potential solution to this problem involves converting squid by-products into an organic fertilizer,
for which there is growing demand. Because fertilizer application to lawns can increase the risk of nutrient contamination
of groundwater, we quantified leaching of NO3–N and PO4–P from perennial ryegrass turf (Lolium perenne L.) amended with two types of fertilizer: squid-based (SQ) and synthetic (SY). Field plots were established on an Enfield
silt loam, and liquid (L) and granular (G) fertilizer formulations of squid and synthetic fertilizers were applied at 0, 48,
146, and 292 kg N ha−1 year−1. Levels of NO3–N and PO4–P in soil pore water from a depth of 60 cm were determined periodically during the growing season in 2008 and 2009. Pore
water NO3–N levels were not significantly different among fertilizer type or formulation within an application rate throughout the
course of the study. The concentration of NO3–N remained below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg L−1 until midSeptember 2009, when values above the MCL were observed for SQG at all application rates, and for SYL at the high
application rate. Annual mass losses of NO3–N were below the estimated inputs (10 kg N ha−1 year−1) from atmospheric deposition except for the SQG and SYL treatments applied at 292 kg N ha−1 year−1, which had losses of 13.2 and 14.9 kg N ha−1 year−1, respectively. Pore water PO4–P levels ranged from 0 to 1.5 mg P L−1 and were not significantly different among fertilizer type or formulation within an application rate. Our results indicate
that N and P losses from turf amended with squid-based fertilizer do not differ from those amended with synthetic fertilizers
or unfertilized turf. Although organic in nature, squid-based fertilizer does not appear to be more—or less—environmentally
benign than synthetic fertilizers. 相似文献
