土壤多环芳烃(PAHs)污染已严重威胁生态环境安全和人类生命健康。通过异位热脱附试验探究了PAHs初始浓度、土壤含水率和土壤粒径对脱附效率的影响,并采用一级、二级动力学和指数衰减模型对PAHs热脱附过程进行拟合,以探究土壤中PAHs热脱附的去除机制。结果表明,在同等条件下,随着PAHs初始浓度的增加,脱附效率随之升高,且在热脱附20～40 min时提高初始浓度可明显提高PAHs的去除率。土壤含水率对于PAHs不同组分的作用具有一定的差异性,当土壤含水率为16%,萘(Nap)、菲(Phe)和蒽(Ant)达到最佳去除率,而荧蒽(Fla)和芘(Pyr)最大去除率对应的土壤含水率为13%。在相同脱附条件下,土壤粒径越小,土壤中PAHs的去除率越高。研究发现指数衰减模型对PAHs各组分的脱附过程具有更好的拟合效果。土壤中PAHs热脱附主要分为两个阶段:(1)PAHs受到土壤中水的蒸发作用从土壤颗粒表面快速蒸发;(2)PAHs的蒸发速率受到土壤孔隙内部扩散的限制,以非常缓慢的速度从土壤中脱除。 相似文献

对水蒸气剥离法去除污染土壤中多环芳烃(PAHs)进行了研究,研制了实验室规模的污染土壤中PAHs水蒸气剥离法试验装置,获得了多环芳烃脱附的基本试验数据,考察了泥浆质量流量、泥浆浓度和反应温度对脱附效率的影响,对上述影响因素进行了分析,确定了分离工艺的最佳参数范围,为大规模治理污染土壤提供了可靠依据。试验结果表明,泥浆流速增加会显著降低脱附效率,一般应取G≤2 kg/s为好。另外,提高反应温度则会使脱附效率有所增加,故反应器内温度保持在150～200℃范围内较好。 相似文献

本文考察了羟丙基-β-环糊精（HPCD）及聚氧乙烯月桂醚（Brij35）洗脱和过硫酸钠（SPS）氧化联合对模拟污染土壤以及场地污染土壤中多氯联苯（PCBs）的去除效果,探讨了洗脱时间、土液比和洗脱剂浓度对土壤中PCBs洗脱率和过硫酸钠浓度对洗脱液中PCBs降解效率的影响。结果表明,两种洗脱剂都能有效地洗脱模拟污染土壤中的2,4,4?-三氯联苯（PCB28）,在土液比为1:20,HPCD和Brij35浓度分别为20 g/L和8.0 g/L时,洗脱4 h后,土壤中PCB28的洗脱率分别可达90%和79%;用100 g/L的SPS氧化24 h后,PCB28的最大去除率分别可达90%和92%。将PCB28模拟污染土壤洗脱-过硫酸钠氧化的优化条件用于去除场地污染土壤中的PCBs（总浓度~ 1400 mg/kg）,发现HPCD和Brij35对PCBs的总洗脱率分别为66%和53%;过硫酸钠处理后,两种洗脱液中PCBs（10.6 mg/L）的总降解率分别为41%和52%。以上研究表明洗脱-过硫酸钠氧化法能快速有效去除污染土壤中的PCBs,为PCBs场地污染土壤修复提供了一种新的方法。 相似文献

通过模拟土壤气相抽提技术（Soil Vapor Extraction,SVE）通风处理甲苯、乙苯、正丙苯混合污染的黄棕壤,研究了不同通风流量、不同土壤含水率、间歇通风等因素对目标污染物去除率的影响。结果表明,通风流量和含水率是影响去除率的重要因素。当柱径14 cm、土壤粒径为10目连续通风时,最佳通风流量为0.15 L.min-1,最佳含水率约17.98%条件下,甲苯、乙苯、正丙苯的去除率分别为99.84%、99.45%、98.25%,总挥发性有机物（Total VOCs,TVOCs）去除率达到了99.30%,且优于间歇通风;含水率为6.01%、24.73%时,TVOCs的去除率仅为63.03%、89.03%,表明含水率过高或过低都不利于VOCs的去除;苯环上支链越长,分子量越大,沸点越高,越难以被脱附去除,反之亦然,表明有机物的分子结构和大小也是影响通风效果的重要因素。 相似文献

盆栽试验研究了不同磷肥水平下接种丛枝菌根菌（Arbuscular mycorrizal fungi,AMF）对玉米修复芘污染土壤的影响。结果表明,在施磷水平为20和80 mg/kg条件下,50 mg/kg芘处理土壤中丛枝菌根菌能够正常侵染玉米根系,侵染率没有显著变化;土壤芘污染对玉米的生长有抑制作用,缺磷土壤中施磷能够缓解土壤芘对玉米生长的抑制作用。培养60 d后,高磷（80 mg/kg）和低磷（20 mg/kg）条件下,玉米接种AMF处理土壤芘残留浓度分别比相应的不接种处理降低了38%和35%,比相应无玉米的对照处理降低了53%和58%。表明玉米接种混合AMF能够显著降低土壤芘残留浓度,促进土壤芘的去除。与P 20 mg/kg处理相比,P 80 mg/kg处理玉米接种及不接种AMF的土壤芘残留浓度分别降低了16%和19%,表明缺磷土壤中施磷对玉米及菌根玉米去除土壤芘均有一定促进作用。土壤微生物碳量与土壤芘的去除率显著正相关,接种AMF和P 80 mg/kg处理均能够显著增加土壤微生物碳量,因此土壤微生物数量的增加可能是其促进土壤芘的去除的重要原因。 相似文献

以皮质远盲蚓（Amynthas corticis）为试验生物,采用一次、叠加的污染方式,研究了毒死蜱在土壤中的残留、蚯蚓体内的累积特征及对蚯蚓生长的影响。结果显示:相同实验浓度条件下,以叠加污染方式进入土壤的毒死蜱残留量低于一次污染方式的残留量。当土壤毒死蜱浓度为12 ~ 20 mg kg?1,暴露55 d时,一次污染条件下,蚯蚓体内毒死蜱蓄积量为3.73 ~ 8.84 mg kg?1,生物－土壤蓄积因子（FBSA）为1.55 ~ 1.70;叠加污染条件下,蚯蚓毒死蜱蓄积量为5.21 ~ 11.04 mg kg?1,FBSA为2.22 ~ 2.46。相同实验浓度条件下,叠加污染方式进入土壤的毒死蜱对蚯蚓的生长抑制显著高于一次污染处理组。该研究结果可为土壤毒死蜱生物毒性和生态风险评价提供基础数据。 相似文献

土霉素及镉污染对土壤呼吸及酶活性的影响 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
随着饲料工业以及畜禽养殖业的规模化发展,抗生素和重金属在土壤环境中同时存在的几率不断增大。为了分析抗生素和重金属对土壤微生物生态系统的影响,以土霉素(OTC)与镉(Cd)为污染物,采用室内培养法,研究了土霉素(OTC)与镉(Cd)单一处理及复合污染对土壤呼吸和酶活性的影响。结果表明,10mg/kg重金属镉单独污染对土壤微生物呼吸表现为先抑制后激活作用,且显著抑制了土壤蔗糖酶、脲酶、磷酸酶活性,对3种酶活性平均抑制率从大到小依次为:蔗糖酶磷酸酶脲酶;1mg/kg土霉素显著激活土壤微生物呼吸,50和200mg/kg土霉素对土壤微生物呼吸的影响呈现出先抑制后激活的规律。各处理浓度下的土霉素对蔗糖酶和脲酶活性均主要表现为抑制作用,对磷酸酶活性的影响呈现出一定的波动性;当土霉素的浓度为1和200mg/kg时,其与10mg/kg镉的复合污染对土壤微生物呼吸及3种酶活性的影响主要为拮抗作用,但当土霉素的浓度为50mg/kg时,与10mg/kg镉的复合污染对土壤微生物呼吸及3种酶活性的影响则主要为协同作用。微生物呼吸对土霉素与镉胁迫更为敏感,最高抑制率和激活率分别可达98.98%和300.82%,土壤酶活性受土霉素和镉污染的影响要弱于它们对土壤微生物呼吸的影响。 相似文献

石油的开采、运输、储存和使用等过程会导致一些土壤受到石油烃的污染。土壤中的石油烃会对生态安全和人类健康造成潜在危害，因此需要开展土壤修复。本研究采用热活化过硫酸钠氧化处理污染土壤中的石油烃，考察了氧化剂剂量和超声结合热活化对石油烃去除效率的影响，并对石油烃氧化产物以及氧化后土壤理化性质进行了分析。结果表明，当过硫酸钠的用量为2.4 mmol/g土壤时，石油烃的含量从3 800 mg/kg降至1 175 mg/kg，石油烃的去除效率可以达到69%。石油烃的去除效率随着氧化剂增加呈上升趋势。但当氧化剂的剂量超过2.4 mmol/g土壤时，石油烃的去除效率不再增加。使用超声结合热活化，石油烃的去除效率可以进一步提高。过硫酸盐氧化会使土壤p H显著下降，造成土壤酸化。气相色谱质谱(GC/MS)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分析表明石油烃氧化后可能会生成一些醇和羧酸类含氧产物。石油烃和土壤有机质被氧化成极性小分子更易进入水相，导致水中总有机碳(TOC)含量从52.4 mg/kg增加至79.8 mg/kg。扫描电镜和粒度分析表明氧化处理会改变土壤形貌，使土壤的粒径变小。氧化导致土壤的碳、氢含量减... 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing. 相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils. 相似文献

Abstract A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species. 相似文献

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L?1 nitric acid (HNO3) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L?1 ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) and 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils. 相似文献

Inoculation of wheat seedlings with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Cd was immobilized in alginate microbeads and, without applying any stress, significantly increased the quantity of several
photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and the auxiliary photoprotective pigments violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, antheroxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, and β-carotene.
This resulted in greener plants with no apparent visible stress. After monitoring the quantity of photosynthetic pigments
for 4 weeks, we observed that inoculated plants had higher quantities of pigments in shoot and stem. The greatest difference
in the quantity of all pigments between inoculated and noninoculated plants occurred in the first week of growth. Regardless
of treatment, the quantity of pigments in stems was three to four times less than the quantity of these pigments in shoots.
Application of Azospirillum, either as liquid inoculant or as alginate microbeads, did not alter the positive effect of the bacteria on pigment production
or the positive response of the plants towards A. brasilense Cd inoculation. 相似文献

We examined the community composition of microbes that colonized atrazine-containing beads buried in agricultural soils that differed in atrazine treatment history. Bacterial abundance was 5-40-fold greater in atrazine-fortified beads. In beads containing 20 mg atrazine kg−1 buried in soil with a history of atrazine application (conditioned soil), the abundance of Actinobacteria increased approximately 80-fold whereas in control soil, Actinobacteria were enriched only 10-fold and the gamma-Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes increased by 60- and 25-fold, respectively. The gamma-Proteobacteria were enriched by 120- and 230-fold in beads containing 200 mg atrazine kg−1 in conditioned and control soil, respectively. The results demonstrate that BioSep® beads are a suitable matrix for recruiting a diverse subset of the bacterial community involved in atrazine degradation. 相似文献

Arbitrary oligonucleotides were used as primers to amplifygenomic DNA of 48 wild Spanish populations of Agropyroncristatum, Elymus hispanicus,E. caninus,E. repens,Thinopyrum curvifolium, Th.junceum and Th.intermedium. Genetic diversity was analysedusing nineteen primers. The number of amplified products ranged from8 to 18 per primer and a total of 240 markers were scored. Differentlevels of intraspecific genetic diversity were found, the allogamousspecies E. repens andTh. intermedium being themost variable. Jaccard's similarity coefficients for internalmeasure within and between populations were used to produce a clusterdiagram. The results demonstrate differences in the degree ofsimilarity between taxonomic units. Interpopulational variability andinterspecific genomic relationships of these species arediscussed. 相似文献

The effects of three commonly used fungicides on the colonization and sporulation by a mixture of three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi consisting of Glomus etunicatum (Becker & Gerd.), Glomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe, and Gigaspora rosea (Nicol. & Schenck) in symbiosis with pea plants and the resulting response of the host-plant were examined. Benomyl, PCNB, and captan were applied as soil drenches at a rate of 20 mg active ingredient kg-1 soil 2 weeks after transplanting pea seedlings in a silty clay-loam soil containing the mixed inocula of AM fungi (AM plants). Effects of fungicides were compared to untreated plants that were inoculated with fungi (AM control). The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on plant growth was also examined by including nonmycorrhizal, non-fungicide-treated plants (non-AM control). Fungicides or inoculation with AM fungi had only a small effect on the final shoot weights of pea plants, but had greater effects on root length and seed yield. AM control plants had higher seed yields and lower root lengths than the corresponding non-AM plants, and the fungicide-treated AM plants had intermediate yields and root lengths. Seed N and P contents were likewise highest in AM control plants, lowest in non-AM plants, and intermediate in fungicide-treated AM plants. All three fungicides depressed the proportion (%) of root length colonized by AM fungi, but these differences did not translate to reductions in the total root length that was colonized, since roots were longer in the fungicide-treated AM plants. Pea plants apparently compensated for the reduction in AM-fungal metabolism due to fungicides by increasing root growth. Fungicides affected the population of the three fungi as determined by sporulation at the final harvest. Captan significantly reduced the number, relative abundance, and relative volume of G. rosea spores in the final population relative to the controls. The relative volume of G. etunicatum spores was greater in all the fungicide-treated soils, while G. mosseae relative volumes were only greater in the captan-treated soil. These findings show that fungicides can alter the species composition of an AM-fungal community. The results also show that AM fungi can increase seed yield without enhancing the vegetative shoot growth of host plants. 相似文献
