氯代有机化合物污染土壤的修复技术

大多数氯代有机化合物具有较高的沉积物－水分配系数，故在环境系统中其主要存在于土壤和沉积物中。因此土壤中氯代有机化合物的修复技术研究对于减少其在环境中的存量是十分重要的。氯代有机化合物污染土壤的修复技术主要可分为分离浓缩技术、转化分解技术和植物修复技术三大类。本文就各技术中的具体类型以及不同技术之间的结合作用作了系统概述。     

过碳酰胺对土壤中非离子表面活性剂的修复研究

过碳酰胺是一种新型精细化工品,也是一种新型N肥,其应用和开发在国外已得到广泛的研究,而在我国还刚刚起步.为考察过碳酰胺作为一种N肥去除土壤中有机污染物的作用和潜力,将修复与施肥结合,为过碳酰胺应用于环境污染修复提供新的理论依据,特进行了本研究.本文采用室内土培试验等手段,研究了1种酸性土壤中施入过碳酰胺后对2种非离子表面活性剂TritonX-100和Tween80的降解效果.试验结果表明:过碳酰胺对2种非离子表面活性剂都有明显的降解效果,降解速度均是在第2周时较快,此后.随着降解时间的延长,降解速率逐渐下降.8周后1000mg/kg Tween80的残留浓度仅有195.46mg/kg土,降解率高达80%以上.5 mmol/kg的过碳酰胺降解2周后已有明显降解效果,但继续增加过碳酰胺浓度.其降解效果并非相应增加.     

Remediation of a soil contaminated with heavy metals by immobilizing compounds

The labile fraction of heavy metals (HM) in soils is the most important for toxicity for plants and microorganisms. Thus, it is crucial to reduce this fraction in contaminated soils to decrease the negative effect of HM. In a greenhouse experiment, the effects of several additives on the labile fractions of Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb were investigated in a soil contaminated during long‐term sewage‐sludge application. The accumulation of HM was studied in the aboveground biomass of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The additives used were the clay minerals Na‐bentonite, Ca‐bentonite, and zeolite; the Fe oxides hematite and goethite; the phosphate fertilizers superphosphate and Novaphos. Wheat was planted three times during 5 months, allowed to grow for 7 w, and harvested. Dry matter and HM content of shoots were determined after each harvest. Soil samples were taken after the first and third harvest, and the NH₄NO₃‐extractable HM contents were determined. After the addition of 2% Na‐bentonite as well as 2% Ca‐bentonite, a strong reduction of the labile HM soil fraction and shoot HM concentration was observed. At the end of the experiment, the labile fraction was reduced due to the addition of Na‐bentonite and Ca‐bentonite by 24% and 31% for Zn, by 37% and 36% for Cd, by 41% and 43% for Cu, by 54% and 61% for Ni, and by 48% and 41% for Pb, respectively. Furthermore, the shoot HM concentrations with the exception of Zn were reduced below the phytotoxicity range. Accordingly, the shoot dry‐matter production was significantly increased. The addition of phosphate fertilizers (notably Novaphos) strongly reduced the bioavailability of Pb for wheat plants. By addition of 0.05% Novaphos, the labile fraction and the shoot concentration of Pb were lowered by 39% and 64%, respectively. However, the addition of Fe oxides and zeolite resulted only in a small reduction in HM bioavailability to wheat plants. Among the studied additives, Na‐bentonite and Ca‐bentonite have the most promising potential to reduce the bioavailability for the studied HM.

该文从投加量、分次投加和灭菌等方面,研究了漆酶不同施用方法对其修复土壤DDT污染效果的影响.研究结果表明,土壤中DDT各组分(P,P'-DDE除外)及DDT总量(DDTs)的降解率均随着漆酶投加量的增加而显著提高,在投加量为每克土加酶6U时DDTs的降解率达到50.63%:漆酶两次投加对土壤中DDT各组分及总量的降解率均显著高于一次投加,DDTs的降解率提高11.4%;漆酶处理对于非灭菌土壤和灭菌土壤中DDT总量的降解率几乎相当,但各组分则有显著差异,其中P,P'-DDE、O,P'-DDT和P,P'-DDD在非灭菌土壤中的降解率低于灭菌土壤,而P,P'-DDT则相反.     

Remediation of an electroplating contaminated soil by EDTA flushing: chromium release and soil dissolution

Purpose

Remediation of soils contaminated with Cr (as Cr(III) complexes/precipitates and/or Cr(VI) oxyanion) and cationic metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, and Pb) by ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) flushing has been challenging and rarely investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of EDTA flushing for metal extraction of soil from an electroplating site, with a specific focus on chromium release and soil dissolution.

Materials and methods

Column flushing tests were performed on a sandy soil contaminated by electroplating activities in the field. Three EDTA concentrations (5, 10, and 20 mM) and flow interruptions were employed to investigate the operation of EDTA flushing.

Results and discussion

Results demonstrated that Cr, Cu, and Ni were continuously released along with dissolution of Fe, Al, Mg, and Mn throughout the entire flushing process (up to 600 pore volumes), whereas Zn and Pb removal primarily occurred in the first 50–200 pore volumes. By comparing the Cr and Fe release patterns, the observed Cr release by EDTA flushing possibly resulted from a combination of dissolution of Fe oxides, dissolution of metal–chromate precipitates, and ligand competition for the surface sites (substitution reaction). The latter two mechanisms appeared to be more influential at the early stage. It was also revealed that soil dissolution was predominant, and metal extraction became inefficient at the later stage of flushing, especially with the concentrated EDTA solution. On the other hand, when the flushing process was temporarily paused (i.e., flow interruptions), Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn concentrations elevated, whereas Pb levels in the effluent decreased, indicating the significance of rate-limited metal exchange of newly formed metal–EDTA complexes.

Conclusions

In consideration of EDTA utilization efficiency and potential ecological risks, diluted EDTA solution is recommended for field applications.     

Remediation of contaminated soil using soil washing and biopile methodologies at a field level

Background, Aims and Scope  An out-of-service oil distribution and storage station (ODSS), which operated from 1966 to 2000 in Mexico, is contaminated mainly by gasoline and diesel, showing the presence of methyl-tert-butyl-ether, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes. Nine of the 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found, as well as Fe, Pb, V, and Zn. The health risk assessment suggested the necessity of reducing of three PAHs [benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo-(b)fluoranthene], and vanadium. The aim of this work is to show that soil washing (on-site) and biopiles are excellent remediation methodologies to treat soils contaminated with petroleum derivates and metals. Applying them, it is possible to reach the goal value of 2,000 mg TPH/kg in a few months, as requested by Mexican legislation. Methods  More than 140 m³ were excavated from the ODSS. Three soil-washing dishes were built. 1540 m³ were treated by soil washing using a nonionic surfactant. A 100 m³ biopile was built to study the system capabilities in the biodegradation of around 4,500 mg/kg of TPH using the autochthonous microflora. Results and Discussion  The soil washing, average TPH-removal value was 83%, but values up to ca. 93% were observed. Removal values resulted in a function of the TPH initial values. Biopile (100 m³) worked during 66 days, reaching a TPH-removal value of 85%. At the end of the processes, no PAHs were detected. The contaminated soil was treated successfully, reaching the legislation limits (TPH values under 2,000 mg/kg, and a significant reduction in PAH concentrations). Conclusion and Recommendation  Both systems are suitable for remediation purposes, achieving high removal efficiencies at short and medium stages. It is highly recommended to proceed with soil washing studies, identifying new products, and mixtures, which could reduce costs and assure optimum operation.     

Remediation of a sandy soil artificially contaminated with copper using a polyacrylate polymer

Abstract. We investigated whether a Na-K polyacrylate polymer could be used to remediate a sandy soil artificially contaminated with copper. An experiment, carried out in solution culture, showed that ionic copper was rapidly trapped within the polymer to a maximum content of c. 190mg Cu g ^-1 dry polymer, the proportion needed for chelation of each copper ion by four carboxylic groups present in the polymer chains. Cu-EDTA was not retained by the polymer. Growth of perennial rygrass in 10 kg pots was stimulated in the gel-amended soil, and even in the pots with the highest levels of copper, growth was much less impaired than in pots without polymer. Copper concentrations of the shoot.; were smaller in the plants cultivated in the amended soil. Water extractable copper was considerably reduced in the contaminated gel-amended soil and polymer particles removed from the soil were shown to contain high levels of copper.     

Remediation of a grey forest soil contaminated with heavy metals by means of leaching at acidic pH

Purpose

The purpose was to study the heavy-metal leaching from topsoil when acidolysis or combination of acidolysis/complexolysis was applied as an approach for in situ soil remediation. The question was how the acidolysis of ferric iron hydroxides from topsoil would effect on the heavy-metal leaching when soil pH was lowered with sulfuric acid in or without the presence of cut straw into the soil.

Materials and methods

Four zero-suction lysimeters were used in this study. The heavy-metal acidolysis was studied by the soil irrigation with diluted solutions of sulfuric acid or its in situ generation as a result of the bacterial oxidation of S° by Acidithiobacilus thiooxidans.The sulfur requirement was calculated having in mind the higher amount of acid soluble iron in the topsoil due to its contamination by AMD. The combination of acidolysis/complexolysis was studied by cut straw addition to S° at ratio 1:1 and 3:1, respectively. Regular sampling and analyses of the pregnant soil solutions was applied. The pollutant content, their distribution among the geochemical fractions, and the content of amorphous ferric iron hydroxides were determined before and after soil bioremediation.

Results and discussion

The reducible mobile fraction was the main fraction in which almost 50 % of each heavy metal was entrapped as a result of the soil pollution by AMD. The combination of acidolysis/complexolysis, realized by elemental sulfur and cut straw addition to horizon A of the AMD-affected soil at ratio of 1:1, allowed the concentration of lead, uranium, and arsenic after 9 months of remediation to be decreased near the relevant maximum admissible concentration (MAC), as their content in the exchangeable and specific adsorbed mobile fraction were drastically reduced. It determined the lower bioavailability of the pollutants at the end of the leaching stage.

Conclusions

A mixture of elemental sulfur and cut straw at a ratio of 1:1 was an efficient method for in situ bioremediation of AMD-affected soil. The heavy-metal leaching from easily leachable fractions was a result of the joint action of acidolysis/complexolysis, and as a result, the contaminant content in horizon A was significantly reduced.

     

Remediation of agrosoddy-podzolic soils contaminated with cadmium

Results of a long-term field experiment on the remediation of agrosoddy-podzolic soils (Retisols) contaminated with cadmium have been analyzed. The solidification/stabilization method (S/S technology) has been used for the development of remediation technology. Different rates of ameliorants and fertilizers (limestone and phosphorite meals, superphosphate, sodium sulfide, peat, and zeolite) have been studied as ameliorating additives. It has been shown that the efficiency of ameliorating additives in decreasing the mobility of cadmium in the soil depends on their type (the dissolution of ameliorant in water and solubility products of the resulting Cd compounds), application rate, and the time elapsed since the application. In the first year of the experiment, the highest efficiency has been observed for water-soluble forms of ameliorating additives: sodium sulfide and superphosphate. Limestone meal and zeolite have showed the longest aftereffect. The application of all ameliorating additives under study has increased the yield of agricultural crops and reduced their cadmium content down to below the MPC level in most cases, which makes this agronomic practice promising for the remediation of agricultural lands with an elevated content of cadmium.

Remediation of PAH-contaminated soil by pulsed corona discharge plasma

Purpose

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrophobic organic pollutants of great environmental and health concern. PAHs are very persisted in soils and sediments which make it very difficult to remove them from soil. Therefore, remediation of PAH-contaminated sites has become an important environmental issue. The objective of this work was to study PAH degradation by pulsed corona discharge plasma system.

Materials and methods

Phenanthrene (Phe) was used as the model pollutant. The Phe-contaminated soil samples were prepared by adding appropriate amount of Phe dichlormethane solution (200 mg/L) into a given amount of pretreated soil, and Phe distributed uniformly in the soil at about 100 mg/kg. The experimental system mainly consisted of a pulse high-voltage power supply and a reactor vessel. The high-voltage electrode comprised of six stainless-steel needles and the ground electrode was a stainless-steel plate. The concentration of Phe was determined by HPLC system after being extracted out from soil. Effect of run parameters such as pulse voltage, pulse frequency, air flow rate, gas atmosphere, and initial concentration of Phe on Phe degradation was investigated, and the consumption of ozone during discharge process was also studied.

Results and discussion

The results showed that degradation efficiency of Phe (initial concentration 100 mg/kg) approached approximately 70 % after 40 min of discharge treatment under the conditions of pulse voltage 18 kV, pulse frequency 70 Hz, and air flow rate 0.8 L/min, which increased with the pulse voltage and pulse frequency due to the enhancement of input energy. An optimal air flow rate of 0.8 L/min was observed to obtain a maximum Phe degradation efficiency. Oxygen atmosphere favored Phe degradation due to high concentration of generated O-reagents, and ozone was found to act on Phe degradation. The concentration of Phe had influence on remediation capacity that increased with the amount of Phe in soil.

Conclusions

The results confirmed that pulsed corona-discharge plasma was a potential method for remediation of PAH-contaminated soil. This study offered a viable treatment option for remediation of Phe-contaminated soil, which was expected to remove PAHs other than Phe from soil with further development.

Remediation of polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil by soil washing and subsequent TiO2 photocatalytic degradation

Purpose

An efficient method was developed for treating polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated soil by soil washing and subsequent TiO₂ photocatalytic degradation, and the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of PCBs was explored.

Materials and methods

Hydroxypropyl-??-cyclodextrin (HP??CD) and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij35) were used to extract PCBs from contaminated soil at first, and then the degradation of PCBs in the soil extracts was performed by TiO₂ photocatalysis under UV irradiation.

Results and discussion

Washing conditions including washing time, the concentration of HP??CD/Brij35, and the ratio of soil mass to solution volume for extracting 2,4,4??-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28) from a PCB28-spiked soil were investigated at first. The results indicated that both HP??CD and Brij35 exhibited good performance. The intermediates of photocatalytic degradation of PCB28 were from its dechlorination and hydroxylation in the HPCD and aqueous solutions, respectively. A field PCB-contaminated soil from e-waste recycling sites was treated by this method. The results showed that the extracting percentage was significantly affected by the chlorination degree of PCBs, and HP??CD slowed down the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of overall PCBs.

Conclusions

Soil washing and subsequent TiO₂ photocatalytic degradation was successfully applied for treating PCB-contaminated soil, and HP??CD strongly altered the pathways of the photocatalytic degradation of PCBs.     

Heavy metals immobilization in contaminated soil by grape-pruning-residue biochar

To investigate the influence of grape-pruning-residue (GPR) biochar on cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) immobilization in a contaminated soil, a laboratory study was conducted with different rates of GPR biochar (0, 2, 5 and 10% w/w) at 25°C. After 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks of incubation, the Tessier sequential extraction procedure was performed and metal mobility factor (MF) and metal stability index (I_R) were calculated. The exchangeable (EX) and carbonate (CAR) fractions of the metals decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) with the biochar addition. The EX metal fractions decreased by 23 to 72%, and the CAR fractions decreased by 51 to 67% in the 10% biochar treatment after 8-week incubation. The MF values of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn decreased by 47, 62, 70 and 49%, respectively, with addition %10 of the biochar. Biochar addition favored the metal redistribution into more stable fractions and resulted in an increase in I_R values. The results demonstrated that the GPR biochar, especially at high application rate (10%), can effectively immobilize the heavy metals, thereby reducing their mobility in contaminated soils.

高分子量多环芳烃污染土壤的菌群修复研究

多环芳烃(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,PAHs)是环境中普遍存在的一类有机污染物,由于其在土壤中的半衰期较长和致癌、致畸形、致突变的性质而受到人们的重视。微生物是生态系统中最重要的分解者,对PAHs具有较强的分解代谢能力和较高的代谢速率。通常认为,PAHs的环数越高,越难被微生物降解利用[1]。高分子量PAHs(三环以上的PAHs)具有更高的毒性和亲脂性,更难被微生物降解。环境中PAHs通常以多种组分同时存在,呈现其复合污染现象,增加了微生物降解的难度。因此,筛选能够同时降解多种高分子量PAHs的微生物,具有重要的现实意义。目前,越来越多的国内外学者采用微     

Mobilization of Cu and Zn in contaminated soil by nitrilotriacetic acid

Batch and upflow column leaching experiments were used to evaluate the nature and extent of Cu and Zn solubilization from contaminated soil by nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) in 0.025 M NaClO₄. In batch soil suspensions, NTA levels of 10^?5 to 10^?3 M substantially promoted Cu and Zn release from the metal-enriched soil. The ability of NTA to enhance Cu and Zn solubility decreased with increasing solution acidity probably due to competitive binding of NTA by protons and Fe released by hydrous oxide dissolution. However, in the pH range typically encountered in northeastern U.S. soils, soluble metal levels were nearly constant for a given NTA concentration. Leaching soil columns with NTA solutions enhanced Cu release more than Zn, as the enrichment ratio (cumulative metal leached by NTA compared to the 0.025 M NaClO₄ control leachate) after 85 pore volumes displacements was 23.6 and 4.3 for Cu and Zn, respectively. While Cu release by 0.01 M CaCl₂ differed little from the control, 0.01 M CaCl₂ was substantially more effective than 10^?5 M NTA in displacing bound Zn. The data reflect different retention mechanisms for Cu and Zn in this soil.
