    查看更多>>摘要:The anaerobic acid production experiments were conducted with the pretreated kitchen waste under pH adjustment.The results showed that pH 8 was considered to be the most suitable condition for acid production,especially for the formation of acetic acid and pro-pionic acid.The average value of total volatile fatty acid at pH 8 was 8814 mg COD/L,1.5 times of that under blank condition.The average yield of acetic acid and propionic acid was 3302 mg COD/L and 2891 mg COD/L,respectively.The activities of key functional enzymes such as phosphotransacetylase,acetokinase,oxaloacetate transcarboxylase and succinyl-coA transferase were all enhanced.To further explore the regulatory mechanisms within the system,the distribution of microorganisms at different levels in the fermentation sys-tem was obtained by microbial sequencing,results indicating that the relative abundances of Clostridiales,Bacteroidales,Chloroflexi,Clostridium,Bacteroidetes and Propionibacteriales,which were great contributors for the hydrolysis and acidification,increased rapidly at pH 8 com-pared with the blank group.Besides,the proportion of genes encoding key enzymes was generally increased,which further verified the mechanism of hydrolytic acidification and acetic acid production of organic matter under pH regulation.

    查看更多>>摘要:The electrokinetic(EK)process has been proposed for soil decontamination from heavy metals and organic matter.The advantages of the EK process include the low operating energy,suitability for fine-grained soil decontamination,and no need for excavation.Dur-ing the last three decades,enhanced and hybrid EK systems were developed and tested for improving the efficiency of contaminants removal from soils.Chemically enhanced-EK processes exhibited excellent efficiency in removing contaminants by controlling the soil pH or the chemical reaction of contaminants.EK hybrid systems were tested to overcome environmental hurdles or technical drawbacks of decontamination technologies.Hybridiza-tion of the EK process with phytoremediation,bioremediation,or reactive filter media(RFM)improved the remediation process performance by capturing contaminants or facilitating biological agents'movement in the soil.Also,EK process coupling with solar energy was proposed to treat off-grid contaminated soils or reduce the EK energy requirements.This study reviews recent advancements in the enhancement and hybrid EK systems for soil remediation and the type of contaminants targeted by the process.The study also cov-ered the impact of operating parameters,imperfect pollution separation,and differences in the physicochemical characteristics and microstructure of soil/sediment on the EK per-formance.Finally,a comparison between various remediation processes was presented to highlight the pros and cons of these technologies.

    查看更多>>摘要:Ketoprofen(KET),as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently detected in aqueous environments,is a threat to human health due to its accumulation and low biodegradabil-ity,which requires the transformation and degradation of KET in aqueous environments.In this paper,the reaction process of ozone-initiated KET degradation in water was investi-gated using density functional theory(DFT)method at the M06-2X/6-311++g(3df,2p)//M06-2X/6-31+g(d,p)level.The detailed reaction path of KET ozonation is proposed.The thermo-dynamic results show that ozone-initiated KET degradation is feasible.Under ultraviolet ir-radiation,the reaction of ozone with water can also produce OH radicals(HO)that can react with KET.The degradation reaction of KET caused by HO·was further studied.The kinetic calculation illustrates that the reaction rate(1.99 x 10-1(mol/L)-1 sec-1)of KET ozonation is relatively slow,but the reaction rate of HO reaction is relatively high,which can further im-prove the degradation efficiency.On this basis,the effects of pollutant concentration,ozone concentration,natural organic matter,and pH value on degradation efficiency under UV/O3 process were analyzed.The ozonolysis reaction of KET is not sensitive to pH and is basically unaffected.Finally,the toxicity prediction of oxidation compounds produced by degradation reaction indicates that most of the degradation products are harmless,and a few products containing benzene rings are still toxic and have to be concerned.This study serves as a the-oretical basis for analyzing the migration and transformation process of anti-inflammatory compounds in the water environment.

    查看更多>>摘要:Nano zero-valent iron(nZVI)is widely used in soil remediation due to its high reactivity.However,the easy agglomeration,poor antioxidant ability and passivation layer of Fe-Cr coprecipitates of nZVI have limited its application scale in Cr-contaminated soil remedia-tion,especially in high concentration of Cr-contaminated soil.Herein,we found that the carboxymethyl cellulose on nZVI particles could increase the zeta potential value of soil and change the phase of nZVI.Along with the presence of biochar,97.0%and 96.6%Cr im-mobilization efficiency through CMC-nZVI/BC were respectively achieved in high and low concentrations of Cr-contaminated soils after 90-days remediation.In addition,the immobi-lization efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ)only decreased by 5.1%through CMC-nZVI/BC treatment after 10 weeks aging in air,attributing to the strong antioxidation ability.As for the surrounding Cr-contaminated groundwater,the Cr(Ⅵ)removal capacity of CMC-nZVI/BC was evaluated un-der different reaction conditions through column experiments and COMSOL Multiphysics.CMC-nZVI/BC could efficiently remove 85%of Cr(Ⅵ)in about 400 hr when the initial Cr(Ⅵ)concentration was 40 mg/L and the flow rate was 0.5 mL/min.This study demonstrates that uniformly dispersed CMC-nZVI/BC has an excellent remediation effect on different concen-trations of Cr-contaminated soils.

    查看更多>>摘要:Dissolved copper and iron ions are regarded as friendly and economic catalysts for perox-ymonosulfate(PMS)activation,however,neither Cu(Ⅱ)nor Fe(Ⅲ)shows efficient catalytic performance because of the slow rates of Cu(Ⅱ)/Cu(Ⅰ)and Fe(Ⅲ)/Fe(Ⅱ)cycles.Innovatively,we observed a significant enhancement on the degradation of organic contaminants when Cu(Ⅱ)and Fe(Ⅲ)were coupled to activate PMS in borate(BA)buffer.The degradation ef-ficiency of Rhodamine B(RhB,20 μmol/L)reached up to 96.3%within 10 min,which was higher than the sum of individual Cu(Ⅱ)-and Fe(Ⅲ)-activated PMS process.Sulfate radi-cal,hydroxyl radical and high-valent metal ions(i.e.,Cu(Ⅲ)and Fe(Ⅳ))were identified as the working reactive species for RhB removal in Cu(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ)/PMS/BA system,while the last played a predominated role.The presence of BA dramatically facilitated the reduction of Cu(Ⅱ)to Cu(Ⅰ)via chelating with Cu(Ⅱ)followed by Fe(Ⅲ)reduction by Cu(l),resulting in enhanced PMS activation by Cu(Ⅰ)and Fe(Ⅱ)as well as accelerated generation of reactive species.Additionally,the strong buffering capacity of BA to stabilize the solution pH was satisfying for the pollutants degradation since a slightly alkaline environment favored the PMS activation by coupling Cu(Ⅱ)and Fe(Ⅲ).In a word,this work provides a brand-new in-sight into the outstanding PMS activation by homogeneous bimetals and an expanded ap-plication of iron-based advanced oxidation processes in alkaline conditions.

    查看更多>>摘要:The land application of livestock manure has been widely acknowledged as a beneficial ap-proach for nutrient recycling and environmental protection.However,the impact of resid-ual antibiotics,a common contaminant of manure,on the degradation of organic com-pounds and nutrient release in Eutric Regosol is not well understood.Here,we studied,how oxytetracycline(OTC)and ciprofloxacin(CIP)affect the decomposition,microbial com-munity structure,extracellular enzyme activities and nutrient release from cattle and pig manure using litterbag incubation experiments.Results showed that OTC and CIP greatly inhibited livestock manure decomposition,causing a decreased rate of carbon(28%-87%),nitrogen(15%-44%)and phosphorus(26%-43%)release.The relative abundance of gram-negative(G-)bacteria was reduced by 4.0%-13%while fungi increased by 7.0%-71%dur-ing a 28-day incubation period.Co-occurrence network analysis showed that antibiotic ex-posure disrupted microbial interactions,particularly among G-bacteria,G+bacteria,and actinomycetes.These changes in microbial community structure and function resulted in decreased activity of urease,β-1,4-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase,alkaline protease,chitinase,and catalase,causing reduced decomposition and nutrient release in cattle and pig ma-nures.These findings advance our understanding of decomposition and nutrient recycling from manure-contaminated antibiotics,which will help facilitate sustainable agricultural production and soil carbon sequestration.
