A bench scale, two-phase soil washing-biosorption process was developed for the remediation of p,p′-DDT-contaminated soil (containing 990 and 7750 mg kg-1 of p,p′-DDT). Removal of p,p′-DDT from contaminated soil was achieved by washing the soil with low molecular weight primary alcohols (ethanol or 1-propanol). An improved efficiency of p,p′-DDT removal was observed with increasing C-chain length of the cosolvent and by increasing the cosolvent volume fraction. When 40 or 80% 1-propanol were used, greater than 93% of p,p′-DDT was desorbed from the respective soils. p,p′-DDT was partitioned from the cosolvent solutions using biomass of Cladosporium sp. strain AJR318,501 as the sorptivematrix. When studies were conducted using a cosolvent-recycling regime (with 80% 1-propanol) greater than 95% of p,p′-DDT was removed from Soil A (990 mg kg-1 p,p′-DDT) and Soil B (7750 mg kg-1 p,p′-DDT) with the majority of the desorbed organochlorine repartitioning onto the fungal biomass. Less than 2.4 μg mL-1 p,p′-DDT was detected in the cosolvent wash solution of Soil A after 80 hr: potentially the cosolvent could be further reused to treat other soil. A higher concentration of p,p′-DDT was detected in the cosolvent wash solution of soil B after 120 hr (13.3 μg mL-1) indicating that the p,p′-DDT sorption sites on the fungal biomass were fully saturated. 相似文献

The effectiveness of cosolvent soil flushing and fungal biosorption for the remediation of p,p′-DDT-contaminated soil was evaluated usingpacked soil columns in order to simulate an in situ soil flushing technique. Greater than 95% of p,p′-DDT (940 mg kg-1) was desorbed from the soil by flushing with 40 or 80% 1-propanol. Increasing the cosolvent volume fraction increased the rate of p,p′-DDT removal from the soil, however, the extent of p,p′-DDT removal was not enhanced. A further enhancement in therate of p,p′-DDT removal was achieved by increasing the cosolventflow rate from 6 ml hr-1 to 12 ml hr-1 (pore water velocity from 18.9 to 37.8 cm hr-1). The desorbed p,p′-DDT was removed from cosolvent wash solutions by partitioning onto fungal biomass. Biosorption of p,p′-DDT resulted in low concentrations of the organochlorine (3.3 μg ml-1) remaining in thecosolvent effluent indicating that the cosolvent could be reused for further p,p′-DDT desorption. Using this technique, between 53 and 95 pore volumes were required to reduce p,p′-DDT concentrationsfrom 990 mg kg-1 to below Australian and New Zealand Environmentaland Conservation Council (ANZECC) guidelines (50 mg kg-1). 相似文献

Responses of photosynthesis (A) to intercellular CO(2) concentration (C(i)) were measured in a fast- and a slow-growing clone of Pinus radiata D. Don cultivated in a greenhouse with a factorial combination of nitrogen and phosphorus supply. Stomatal limitations scaled with nitrogen and phosphorus supply as a fixed proportion of the light-saturated photosynthetic rate (18.5%) independent of clone. Photosynthetic rates at ambient CO(2) concentration were mainly in the V(cmax)-limited portion of the CO(2) response curve at low-nitrogen supply and at the transition between V(cmax) and J(max) at high-nitrogen supply. Nutrient limitations to photosynthesis were partitioned based on the ratio of foliage nitrogen to phosphorus expressed on a leaf area basis (N(a)/P(a)), by minimizing the mean square error of segmented linear models relating photosynthetic parameters (V(cmax), J(max), T(p)) to foliar nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations. A value of N(a)/P(a) equal to 23 (mole basis) was identified as the threshold separating nitrogen (N(a)/P(a) < or = 23) from phosphorus (N(a)/P(a) > 23) limitations independent of clones. On an area basis, there were significant positive linear relationships between the parameters, V(cmax), J(max), T(p) and N(a) and P(a), but only the relationships between T(p) and N(a) and P(a) differed significantly between clones. These findings suggest that, in genotypes with contrasting growth, the responses of V(cmax) and J(max) to nutrient limitation are equivalent. The relationships between the parameters V(cmax), J(max), T(p) and foliage nutrient concentration on a mass basis were unaffected by clone, because the slow-growing clone had a significantly greater leaf area to mass ratio than the fast-growing clone. These results may be useful in discriminating nitrogen-limited photosynthesis from phosphorus-limited photosynthesis. 相似文献

Illegal fishing is a global issue that threatens the viability of fishing industries and biodiversity conservation. Management agencies typically use on‐ground surveillance to monitor and minimise illegal fishing practices, the efficacy of which may be enhanced by integrating emerging remote sensing technology. Affordable drones may contribute to cost‐effective detection of illegal fishing activity and associated gear, although their application has yet to be evaluated in many types of fisheries. Here, the utility of drones for the detection of crab traps and floats set in a shallow estuary was quantitatively tested, and the effects of survey altitudes, cameras and monitor screens on detection rates were determined. It was found that drone flight altitude and float colour influenced the detection rates of common crab trap floats, with infrared cameras improving the detection of floats camouflaged by black paint. However, the type of monitor screen used by the drone operator had no influence on the detection of crab traps. Overall, it appears drones can contribute to cost‐effective compliance in estuarine trap fisheries, and the approach can contribute to evidence‐based standard operating procedures. 相似文献

The changing levels of Pb in the soil and vegetation of a small woodland bounded on its southern side by the major London orbital motorway, the M 25, have been investigated over a period of 6 mo. The pattern of Pb deposition, as measured by soil Pb burdens, shows that concentrations decrease with increasing distance from the road. For vegetation sited close to the motorway results indicate that different tree species have different propensities for the capture and retention of Pb. The pattern of Pb deposition throughout the woodland as revealed by bryophyte analysis is also reported. Results suggest that Pb levels are high close to the motorway, as anticipated. However enhanced levels are also to be found on the woodland edges over half a kilometer away. 相似文献

The circumrotation of a submolecular fragment in either direction in a synthetic molecular structure is described. The movement of a small ring around a larger one occurs through positional displacements arising from biased Brownian motion that are kinetically captured and then directionally released. The sense of rotation is governed solely by the order in which a series of orthogonal chemical transformations is performed. The minimalist nature of the [2]catenane flashing ratchet design permits certain mechanistic comparisons with the Smoluchowski-Feynman ratchet and pawl. Even when no work has to be done against an opposing force and no net energy is used to power the motion, a finite conversion of energy is intrinsically required for the molecular motor to undergo directional rotation. Nondirectional rotation has no such requirement. 相似文献

Pinus radiata D. Don trees from six clones, grown at initial spacings of 2500 stems ha−1 and 833 stems ha−1 were destructively harvested. For these trees wood properties were measured on radial slices sampled at a height of 1.4 m above the ground. Relative to wide spacing, close initial stand spacing significantly reduced microfibril angle (MFA) and ring width and significantly increased dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOE), fibre length, latewood percentage and cell wall thickness. Density and fibre width were not significantly different between spacing treatments. Examination of the influence of genetic population on wood properties indicated that genotype significantly influenced MFA, MOE and ring width. The key wood properties MFA, MOE and fibre length were regressed against tree diameter, height and stem slenderness. All three wood properties were most strongly correlated with stem slenderness. Multiple regression models developed for MFA, MOE and ring width accounted for respectively 62%, 81% and 58% of the variation in these variables. The following changes occurred in sampled properties with increasing ring number: MFA and ring width declined markedly; MOE and fibre length increased markedly; latewood percentage and cell wall thickness increased slightly; and density and fibre width did not show any radial trend. 相似文献
