The efficiency of UV- and VUV-based processes (UV, VUV, UV/H2O2, and VUV/H2O2) for removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in Milli-Q water and sewage treatment plant (STP) effluent was investigated at 20??C. The investigated factors included initial pH, variety of inorganic anions (NO 3 ? and HCO 3 ? ), and humic acid (HA). The results showed that the degradation of SMX in Milli-Q water at both two pH (5.5 and 7.0) followed the order of VUV/H2O2 > VUV > UV/H2O2 > UV. All the experimental data well fitted the pseudo-first order kinetic model and the rate constant (k) and half-life time (t 1/2) were determined accordingly. Indirect oxidation of SMX by generated ?OH was the main degradation mechanism in UV/H2O2 and VUV/H2O2, while direct photolysis predominated in UV processes. The quenching tests showed that some other reactive species along with ?OH radicals were responsible to the SMX degradation under VUV process. The addition of 20?mg?L?1 HA significantly inhibited SMX degradation, whereas, the inhibitive effects of NO 3 ? and HCO 3 ? (0.1?mol?L?1) were observed as well in all processes except in UV irradiation for NO 3 ? . The removal rate decreased 1.7?C3.6 times when applying these processes to STP effluent due to the complex constituents, suggesting that from the application point of view the constituents of these complexes in real STP effluent should be considered carefully prior to the use of UV-based processes for SMX degradation.  相似文献

The effect of organic amendments and irrigation management in the field were studied with respect to Eh, NO3?, and soluble organic C concentrations in the soil solution, and gaseous concentrations of N2O, CO2, and the ratio N2 to O2. Duplicate plots were treated with fresh bovine manure as follows: control 45t·ha?1, 180 t·ha?1 with a standard irrigation cycle (SI), and 180 t·ha?1 with a double irrigation (DI). Samples to 230cm were obtained at several depths in each profile during the 84-day study. The general order for treatment effects upon CO2 concentrations and soluble C was the same: SI > DI > 45 t·ha?1 > control. The order for N2/O2 was 180 t·ha?1 (SI and DI) > 45 t·ha?1 and control. The order for both N2O and NO?1 was the same: 45 t.ha?1 and DI > SI and control. The most important factor affecting N2O concentrations was the NO3? concentration; soil solution concentrations greater than 16 μN·ml?1 had much higher frequencies of high N2O concentrations. The sequential reduction of NO?13→ N2O → N2 was noted in all treatments by the following observations: (i) the concentrations of both NO?3 and N2O were highest at the beginning of the experiment; (ii) the concentrations of CO2 and N2/O2 were higher near the end: (iii) sub-ambient concentrations of N2O were more frequent near the end of the study. Use of N2O as an indicator of denitrification is cautioned since one of the highest manured treatments (SI) had N2O concentrations no different than the control, but had much higher CO2 and N2/O2 concentrations and more reduced (Eh) conditions. We conclude that use of a single irrigation method is far superior to the double irrigation method with respect to reducing losses of NO3? and N2O and for conserving organic N arid water.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

A medium-pressure mercury lamp, emitting strongly in the 200–400 nm range was applied for the degradation of 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), a hydrolysis product of chlorpyrifos. Photodegradation of TCP in aqueous solution exhibited pseudo-first order kinetics with a rate constant that was wavelength dependent and increased below 300 nm. The TCP degradation rate and quantum yield increased with solution pH up to a constant maximum value of (6.40 ± 0.046) × 10?3 cm2 mJ? 1 and 0.178 ± 0.002 mol E?1 respectively, at pH 5 and above. Addition of 5 mg L? 1 H2O2 to generate OH radicals led to an increase in removal rates by a factor of 1.5. Addition of phosphate buffer resulted in decreased photolysis at 3 < pH < 6.  相似文献

Land development has caused runoff of red soil into the ocean on the north side of Okinawa Island, Japan. In an attempt to clarify the impacts of this “red soil pollution” on the oxidizing power of seawater, we studied the formation of hydroxyl radical (?OH), the most potent oxidant in the environment, in red soil-polluted waters using a 313-nm monochromatic light. ?OH was photochemically formed in the red soil-polluted water samples, and the formation rates of ?OH decreased as salinity increased, i.e., as red soil-polluted river water gets mixed with seawater. The photo-formation rates of ?OH showed good correlations with dissolved Fe concentrations (R 2?=?0.96) and [NO2 ?]?+?[NO3 ?] concentrations (R 2?=?0.87), while a negative and weak correlation was found with dissolved organic carbon concentrations (R?=??0.78). Theoretical calculation showed that direct photolysis of NO3 ?, Fe(OH)2+, and hydrogen peroxide all together accounted for less than 10% of the observed ?OH formation in the red soil-polluted waters. Comparison between filtered and unfiltered samples showed that red soil particles were not the main sources of ?OH, and the photolysis of NO2 ? could account for at most 78% of the observed ?OH formation rates. We found that the Fenton’s reaction (a reaction between Fe(II) and H2O2) could possibly account for the observed formation of ?OH in the red soil-polluted waters.  相似文献

Behaviour of heavy metals in soils. 2. Extraction of mobile heavy metals with CaCl2 and NH4NO3 156 soil samples from arable fields, grassland and forest stands were analysed for the CaCl2? and NH4NO3? extractable contents of Cd, Zn, Mn, Cu and Pb. The average amounts of Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb extracted with CaCl2 are higher compared with NH4NO3 whereas the relation for Mn is vice versa. The proportion of the NH4NO3? extractable contents in percent of the CaCl2? extractable contents of Cd, Zn and Pb decrease with increasing pH, whereas the contents of Mn and Cu increase. Inspite of a differing extraction behaviour of the two salt solutions the CaCl2? and NH4NO3? extractable amounts of Cd, Mn, Zn und Pb are highly correlated and can be converted one into another. The mobile (CaCl2, NH4NO3) proportion of the corresponding total, EDTA and DTPA heavy metal contents is in close relation to the pH of the soils. Using CaCl2 solution the threshold pH values for an increasing mobility decrease in the order Cd > Mn > Zn > Cu > Pb, using NH4NO3 as extractant the order is Mn > Cd > Zn > Cu > Pb. In the case of CaCl2 as extractant soluble chloro-Cd-complexes will be formed so that the Cd mobility in soils will be overestimated in most cases.  相似文献

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of three soluble zinc (Zn) fertilizers on cadmium (Cd) concentrations in two genotypes of maize (Zea mays): Jidan 209 and Changdan 374. Zinc fertilizers were added to soil at four levels: 0, 80, 160, and 240 mg kg?1 soil as nitrate [Zn(NO3)2], chloride (ZnCl2), and sulfate (ZnSO4). Cadmium nitrate [Cd(NO3)2] was added to all the treatments at a uniform rate equivalent to 10 mg kg?1 soil. The biomass of maize plants was increased with the application of three zinc fertilizers, of which Zn(NO3)2 yielded more than others. Under ZnCl2 treatment, plant growth was promoted at the lower level and depressed at the higher one. All the three fertilizers decreased Cd concentration in shoots in comparison with treatments without Zn, but there were variations with different forms, especially in plants treated with Zn(NO3)2, which had the minimal value. The orders of average Cd concentration in shoots with different zinc fertilizers were ZnSO4>ZnCl2>Zn(NO3)2 for Jidan 209 and ZnCl2>ZnSO4>Zn(NO3)2 for Changdan 374, respectively (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between ZnSO4 and ZnCl2 treatments. The lowest Cd concentration in shoots was found in the 80‐mg‐kg?1 soil or 160‐mg‐kg?1 soil treatment. Cadmium concentration in roots in the presence of ZnCl2 was the lowest and under ZnSO4 the highest. The mechanism involved needs to be studied to elucidate the characteristics of complexation of Cl? and SO4 2? with Cd in plants and their influence on transfer from roots to shoots.  相似文献

Seven rates of paper mill effluent (viz., 0%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) were used for irrigation of V. radiata (mung bean) along with a control (bore well water). The effluent had significant (P < 0.001) effects on electrical conductivity (EC), pH, chlorides (Cl?), organic carbon (OC), bicarbonates (HCO3 ?), carbonates (CO3 2?), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), iron (Fe2+), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), nitrate (NO3 2?), phosphate (PO4 3?), sulfate (SO4 2?), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb) and insignificant (P > 0.05) effects on moisture content, water-holding capacity (WHC), and bulk density (BD) in both the cultivated seasons: rainy (Kharif) and summer (Zaid) season. The agronomical performance of V. radiata was increased from 5% to 50% in the rainy season and 5% to 25% in the summer season as compared to the control. The enrichment factor (Ef) of various heavy metals were ordered for soil as Pb > Cd, Cr > Zn > Cu in rainy season and Pb > Cd > Zn > Cr > Cu in summer season and for V. radiata plants as Cu > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cd in rainy season and Cu > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cd in summer season after irrigation with paper mill effluent.  相似文献

The effect of Cl?,SO 4 2? , CH3COO?, and NO 3 ? anions on the adsorption of copper, lead, and zinc by an ordinary chernozem has been studied. The effect of the anions on the adsorption of Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ ions is significant but uncertain. It has been shown that the attendant anions affect the shape of the adsorption isotherms, which are described by the Langmuir, Freundlich, or Henri equations. The constants of the adsorption from a nitrate solution calculated from the Langmuir equation (K L) decrease in the following order: Cu2+ > Pb2+ >> Zn2+. The values of the maximum adsorption (C max) decrease in the following order: Cu2+ ≥ Zn2+ > Pb2+ for acetate solutions and in the series Pb2+ > Zn2+ ≥ Cu2+ for nitrate solutions. The values of the Henry constants (K H) calculated for the adsorption of the same cations from chloride solutions decrease in the same order as the values of K L. The CH3COO? anion has the highest effect on the constant values. The NO 3 ? and Cl? anions “switch their places” depending on the attendant cation, but their effect is always lower than that of the acetate anion. The values of C max for copper and zinc are most affected by the CH3COO? anion, and the adsorption of zinc is most affected by the Cl? and NO 3 ? anions. The assessment of the mobility of the adsorbed cations from the extraction with ammonium acetate (pH 4.8) has shown that the content of the desorbed metals is always lower than the content of the adsorbed cations and varies from 0.025 to 83%. According to their mobility, the adsorbed metals form the following order: Zn2+ > Pb2+ > Cu2+. The effect of the attendant anions on the extractability of the adsorbed cations decreases in the following order: chlorides > sulfates > acetates > nitrates.  相似文献

Reduction of N2O in moist soil was inhibited completely by 10?2 atm C2H2 and partially by 10?5 atm C2H2. The effect of C2H4 was 104 times less than that of C2H2. Denitrification of NO?3 occurred in anaerobically or aerobically incubated waterlogged soil and in anaerobic but not in aerobic moist soil. In the absence of C2H2 there was transient accumulation of N2O. In the presence of C2H2 there was stoichiometric conversion of NO?3 to N2O. Some kinetics of the reduction of N2O and of NO?3 to N2O are presented. Denitrification of 1 μg added NO?3-N.g? could be measured within 1 h. Stoichiometries of production of N2O from NO?2 and NO?3, respectively, and production of CO2 attributable to denitrification were consistent with reported energy yields. Reduction of C2H2 to C2H4 occurred immediately following complete denitrification of added NO?3. The incubation of soil in the presence and in the absence of C2H2 thus permits assay of both denitrification and N2 fixation and provides information on the mole fraction of N2O in the products of denitrification.  相似文献

Substrates have been increasingly used in recent years for carnation crops. Burnt rice husk (BRH) is widely available and used as a substrate in Colombia. The present work aims to compare the effects of two aqueous extraction methods on the chemical contents. Saturated and 1:1 (v/v) extractions were performed in three replications. Ionic forms of the macronutrients (NO3?, NH4+, PO4H2?, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO42?, in meq L?1), micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and B, in mg L?1), Cl?, CO3 H? in meq L?1, electrical conductivity in dS m?1, and pH were analyzed. Except for NH4+, Cl?, and B the determination coefficient R2 was greater than 95 percent. Average values and standard errors of data have been used to define suitable intervals for 1:1 extractions. Proposed intervals for 1:1 extracts are consistent with the saturated extract and therefore are a good tool to optimize the management of fertigation in those crops.  相似文献

Precipitation chemistry was discussed from the viewpoint of potential sources for four rural sites where wet-only daily-basis measurement data sets were available during the period from April 1996 to March 1997 in Japan. Annual volume-weighted mean concentrations of nss-SO4 2? and NO3 ? ranged from 18.0 to 34.6 µeq L?1, and from 9.3 to 23.1 µeq L?1, respectively. The degree of neutralization of input acidity in terms of the concentration ratio, [H+] / ([nss-SO4 2?] + [NO3 ?]), ranged from 0.46 to 0.63. This suggests that about half of the input acidity due to H2SO4 and HNO3 was neutralized by NH4 + and nss-Ca2+ to produce the pH values of 4.46 to 4.82 for these sites. Maximum likelihood factor analysis was then performed on the logarithmically transformed daily wet deposition of major ions. Two factors successfully explained a total of about 80% of the variance in the data for each site. Interpreting varimax rotated factor loadings, we could identify two source types: (1) acid source with large loadings on ln(H+), ln(nss-SO4 2?), ln(NO3 ?) and ln(NH4 +), (2) sea-salt source with large loadings on ln(Na+), ln(Cl?), ln(Mg2+) and ln(K+). The rural wet deposition over Japan appears to have a similar structure in terms of the kinds of sources and their relative location.  相似文献

Several fog episodes occurred in California’s San Joaquin Valley during winter 2000/2001. Measurements revealed the fogs to generally be less than 50 m deep, but to contain high liquid water contents (frequently exceeding 200 mg/m3) and large droplets. The composition of the fog water was dominated by ammonium (median concentration?=?608 μN), nitrate (304 μN), and organic carbon (6.9 ppmC), with significant contributions also from nitrite (18 μN) and sulfate (56 μN). Principal organic species included formate (median concentration?=?32 μN), acetate (31 μN), and formaldehyde (21 μM). High concentrations of ammonia resulted in high fog pH values, ranging between 5.8 and 8.0 at the core measurement site. At this high pH aqueous phase oxidation of dissolved sulfur dioxide and reaction of S(IV) with formaldehyde to form hydroxymethanesulfonate are both important processes. The fogs are also effective at scavenging and removal of airborne particulate matter. Deposition velocities for key solutes in the fog are typically of the order of 1–2 cm/s, much higher than deposition velocities of precursor accumulation mode aerosol particles. Variations were observed in deposition velocities for individual constituents in the order NO2 ??>?fogwater?>?NH4 +?>?TOC ～ SO4 2??>?NO3 ?. Nitrite, observed to be enriched in large fog drops, had a deposition velocity higher than the average fogwater deposition velocity, due to the increase in drop settling velocity with size. Species enriched in small fog drops (NH4 +, TOC, SO4 2?, and NO3 ?) all had deposition velocities smaller than observed for fogwater. Typical boundary layer removal rates for major fog solute species were estimated to be approximately 0.5–1 μg m?3 h?1, indicating the important role regional fogs can play in reducing airborne pollutant concentrations.  相似文献

A phylogenetic analysis of the archaeal community in the soil of the former Lake Texcoco showed that some of the clones identified were affiliated to Archeae that reduce nitrate (NO3?) to nitrite (NO2?) and NO2? to unknown products under aerobic conditions. Previous research suggested that this indeed might occur when an easily decomposable C-substrate is available, but little is known about the factors that control the possible processes involved. The sandy clay loam soil with pH 10 and electrolytic conductivity 56 dS m?1 was spiked with 1000 mg glucose-C kg?1 soil (GLUCOSE pre-treatment), 200 mg NO3?-N kg?1 soil (NITRATE pre-treatment), or left unamended (CONTROL pre-treatment) and conditioned for eight days. Pre-treated soil was then added with 1000 mg glucose-C kg?1 soil and 200 mg NO3?-N kg?1 soil and amended with ammonium (NH4+) (AMM treatment) and l-glutamine (GLUT treatment), acetylene (C2H2) (ACE treatment), oxygen (O2) (OXI treatment), left untreated (CON treatment) or sterilized. No abiotic factors affected concentrations of NH4+, NO2? or NO3?. In the CONTROL pre-treatment, concentration of NO3? decreased 170 mg N kg?1 soil within 72 h, in the GLUCOSE pre-treatment with 182 mg N kg?1 soil within 2 h and in the NITRATE pre-treatment with 272 mg N kg?1 soil within 168 h. Mean concentration of NO2? was 3.2 mg N kg?1 soil in unamended soil, 5.7 mg N kg?1 soil in the CONTROL pre-treatment, but >20 mg kg?1 soil in the GLUCOSE pre-treatment and ≥40 mg kg?1 in the NITRATE pre-treatment. The application of NO3? and glucose increased the mean concentration of NH4+ compared to the unamended soil independently of pre-treatment. It was found that microorganisms in the alkaline saline soil of the former Lake Texcoco can reduce concentrations of NO3? while releasing NO2? under aerobic conditions when an easy decomposable substrate is available without it being directly related to microbial activity and this being more outspoken when glucose or nitrate were previously added.  相似文献

Greywater is a potential resource of water that can be improved to meet the quality needed for irrigation. This study evaluated the performance of bark, activated charcoal, polyurethane foam and sand filters in removing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), surfactants, phosphorus, nitrogen and microbial indicators from greywater during start-up and steady state. In column experiments, 0.6?m high filters (diameter 20?cm) were fed for 113?days with artificial greywater at a hydraulic loading rate of 0.032?m3?m?2?day?1 and an organic loading rate of 0.014?kg BOD5 m?2?day?1. Bark and activated charcoal efficiently reduced the concentrations of organics (BOD5), surfactants (methylene blue active substances??MBAS), total phosphorus (Tot-P) and total thermotolerant coliform numbers, while sand and foam were less efficient. Bark, activated charcoal, foam and sand reduced influent BOD5 by 98, 97, 37 and 75?%; MBAS by >99, >99, 73 and 96?%; Tot-P by 97, 91, 36 and 78?%; and total nitrogen by 19, 98, 13 and 5?%, respectively. BOD5 and MBAS were efficiently reduced directly from start-up by bark and activated charcoal, while foam needed 30?days to achieve about 50?% reduction in BOD5. Bark was the most efficient filter in reducing thermotolerant faecal coliforms (2.4 log10), while foam achieved the lowest reduction (0.5 log10). Overall, bark and activated charcoal filters appeared to be the most suitable filters for improving greywater quality to reach irrigation quality in terms of organic matter reduction. Performance of these filters under higher and fluctuating loadings and the long-term sustainability of the filter materials need further investigation.  相似文献

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the major atmospheric pollutants, and the concentration of NO2 is regarded as one of the indicators of air quality. In the past decades, China has experienced rapid economic growth and severe NO2 pollution to match. We evaluate the trends and spatiotemporal patterns of tropospheric NO2 over mainland China from 2005 to 2014 using vertical column density (VCD) datasets retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). Results show that from 2005 to 2014, NO2 pollution regions have enlarged at the national scale, and high NO2 VCDs are mainly concentrated over highly populated regions in eastern China. The year 2011 is the turning point. Tropospheric NO2 VCDs first significantly increase by 0.19?×?1015 molec cm?2?year?1 (R 2?=?0.94, P?=?0.002) from 2005 to 2011, and then decrease by 0.21?×?1015 molec cm?2?year?1 (R 2?=?0.97, P?=?0.016) from 2011 to 2014. Since 2011, tropospheric NO2 VCDs over central-east China decrease remarkably. Tropospheric NO2 VCDs is higher in November (3.630?×?1015 molec/cm2), December (4.758?×?1015 molec/cm2), and January (4.863?×?1015 molec/cm2), while lower in July (1.684?×?1015 molec/cm2), August (1.627?×?1015 molec/cm2), and September (1.703?×?1015 molec/cm2), indicating that winter and spring are the most polluted seasons. Due to the huge gap in population density and industry development between western and eastern China, the spatial pattern of tropospheric NO2 VCDs shows large west-east difference.  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

The ionic composition of total suspended particulate (TSP) and fine (PM2.5) fractions was investigated from an 1,100 site in the middle of Mt. Halla in Jeju Island, Korea from March to November 2006. The sum concentrations of cation and anion species in TSP fraction were 205 ± 170 and 183 ± 164 neq m?3, respectively, while those for PM2.5 as 118 ± 129 and 88.5 ± 89.3 neq m?3, respectively. In TSP, the concentration of the major ions changed in the order of SO4 2? > NH4 + > Ca2+ > Na+ > NO3 ? > Mg2+ > K+ > Cl?, while its PM2.5 counterpart as NH4 + > SO4 2? > Ca2+ > NO3 ? > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ > Cl?. Inspection of the temporal variabilities of ionic components indicated that most ions peaked in spring or fall months. The back trajectory analysis showed that the atmospheric composition of the major ionic species was affected fairly sensitively by long-range transport from China under the favorable meteorological conditions. In contrast, the lowest ionic concentration levels were seen most abundantly, when air masses passed from South Sea. Hence, the analysis of ionic concentration data suggests that their distributions are controlled by the combined effects of various source processes including the most prominent Chinese origin and the meteorological condition favorable for such transport.  相似文献

Experiments were designed to determine the effect of untreated wastewater (T1), phytoremediated wastewater (T2), and rainwater (T3) irrigation on Capsicum annuum and soil. Morphological parameters of plants and accumulation of metal and nutrients in crop and soil were studied. The biomass of C. annuum was greatest under T1 followed by T2 and T3. Root/shoot ratio decreased in the order T3 > T2 > T1 (P ≤ 0.05), indicating lengthening of roots under nutrient stress. There was a significant increase in the nutrient [nitrate (NO3 ?), phosphate (PO4 3?), potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg++), and calcium (Ca++)] content of the soil after harvest under T1 and T2. The metal accumulated by the plant in μg g?1 of dry weight was in the order zinc (Zn) > copper (Cu) > chromium (Cr). The percentage accumulations of metals by the plant out of total applied were only 1–5% for Cr and Cu and 14% for Zn, and the remaining was left in the soil. There was no metal accumulation in fruits.  相似文献

Coastal areas in the southeastern USA are prone to hurricanes and strong storms that may cause salt-water influx to freshwater aquatic sediments. These changes in environmental conditions may impact sediment processes including nitrogen (N) cycling. The relative abilities of sediment microbial communities from two freshwater golf course retention ponds that drain into the adjacent wetlands, and two proximal saline wetland ponds, to remove nitrate (NO3−) were compared to assess whether low concentrations of sulfide changed N-transformation processes. Microcosms were incubated with NO3-N (300 μg g dw−1) alone, and with NO3-N and sulfide (H2S) (100 and 200 μg g dw−1). Nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrite (NO2−), NO3−, ammonium (NH4+), SO42− and acid volatile sulfides were analyzed over time. The acetylene block technique was used to measure denitrification in sediment microcosms with no added H2S. Denitrification was measured without acetylene (C2H2) addition in microcosms with added H2S. With no added H2S, denitrification was greater in the freshwater retention ponds than in the wetland ponds. Although low H2S concentrations generally increased NO3-N removal rates at all sites, lag periods were increased and denitrification was inhibited by low sulfide in the freshwater sediments, as evidenced by the greater concentrations of N2O that accumulated compared to those in the wetland sediments. In addition to the inability of the freshwater sediments to convert N2O to N2 in the absence of C2H2, anomalously high transient NO2-N concentrations accumulated in the retention pond samples. NH4-N formation generally decreased due to H2S addition at the freshwater sites; NH4-N formation increased initially at the wetland sites, but was greater when no H2S was added. Storm events that allow influx of SO42−-containing seawater into freshwater systems may change the dominant N species produced from nitrate reduction. Even low concentrations of sulfide produced incomplete denitrification and decreased formation of NH4+ in these coastal freshwater sediments.  相似文献
