24341. 题目: Sludge-derived biochar with multivalent iron as an efficient Fenton catalyst for degradation of 4-Chlorophenol Fe-rich biochar with multivalent iron compounds (Fe0, Fe0.95C0.05, Fe3O4, and FeAl2O4) pyrolyzed from sludge cake conditioned with Fenton's reagent and red mud was utilized as an efficient Fenton catalyst for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). Effects of pyrolysis temperature and sludge conditioner composition on the transformation of iron compounds were studied. Both homogeneous Fenton reaction initiated by Fe2+ leached from both low-valent Fe0 and Fe0.95C0.05, and heterogeneous Fenton reaction initiated by solid iron phases of Fe3O4 and FeAl2O4 were revealed to contribute to the degradation of 4-CP. The removal efficiency of 4-CP remained 100% after five successive degradation rounds. The homogeneous Fenton reaction mainly works in the first degradation round, and the heterogeneous Fenton reaction dominates in subsequent degradation rounds. The findings of this study suggest that sewage sludge derived Fe-rich biochar could be utilized as an efficient Fenton catalyst for recalcitrant organics degradation. | |||||
24342. 题目: Optical characteristics and cytotoxicity of dissolved organic matter in the effluent and sludge from typical sewage treatment processes The environmental ecological risks of dissolved organic matter (DOM) extracted from diverse sewage treatment plants and processes have attracted urgent attention. The correlations between the toxicity of DOM and its compositions or properties deserved to be explored to evaluate the environmental risk. Human liver cancer (HepG2) and normal liver (L02) cell lines were used in in vitro experiments evaluating the environmental risks of dissolved organics discharged from secondary and advanced sewage treatment processes. Organics extracted from dewatered sludge were also tested. Elemental compositions were determined and optical characterization was performed. The results indicated that the organics in the effluent from anaerobic-anoxic-oxic processes contained more oxygen-containing groups and hydrophilic substances than those in other types of effluent. The sludge extracts showed the greatest cytotoxicity, followed by the effluent from secondary treatment and then the effluent from an advanced treatment process. The sludge extracts inhibited cell proliferation while the other effluents promoted it at a 5 mgC/L concentration. The organics discharged from secondary and advanced treatment processes induced relatively little production of reactive oxygen species. That stimulated cell self-repair and free radical scavenging and consequently resulted in cell proliferation with the cell lines tested. Oxygen-containing groups in the dissolved organics promoted cell proliferation and ROS removal. The atomic ratios and UV spectroscopy indices contributed mainly to the cell viability among the positive indicators. These results provide theoretical basis for managing the ecological risks posed by dissolved organics released from sewage treatment processes. | |||||
24343. 题目: Impact of nanominerals on the migration and distribution of cadmium on soil aggregates Soil aggregates play an important role in the migration and transformation of heavy metals. In this paper, solution adsorption and incubation experiments were carried out to explore the effects of soil texture (sandy loam and clay loam), nanominerals (nanomontmorillonite [nMt] and nanohydroxyapatite [nHA]), and pollution levels (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) on the surface migration and transformation of cadmium in soil aggregates with different sized particles. The aim is to clarify the dynamics of cadmium in various particle size soil aggregates of different texture soils and demonstrate the positive effect of nanominerals on the partitioning and geochemical fractions of cadmium between the aggregates. The results showed that as the particle size decreased, the ability of the soil aggregates to carry cadmium initially decreased and then increased. Organic matter was the main factor influencing the cadmium distribution among the soil aggregates, whereas soil texture had no significant effect on the adsorption capacity of Cd2+ in the soil particles. The soil aggregates with sizes <15 μm had the highest cadmium accumulation capacity. As the cadmium concentration increased, cadmium ions were more likely to accumulate in soil aggregates with small particles (<15 μm). The application of nanominerals promoted the migration of cadmium to <15 μm particles from 2000 to 45 μm particles in sandy loam and 75-15 μm particles in clay. nHA also significantly improved the content of residual cadmium in the <15 μm portion of both soil textures. This study provides a theoretical basis for the use of nano-fixatives in environmental restoration applications. | |||||
24344. 题目: Vacuum ultraviolet irradiation for mitigating dissolved organic nitrogen and formation of haloacetonitriles The main objective of this work was to investigate the feasibility of using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 185 + 254 nm) and ultraviolet (UV, 254 nm) for the reduction of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and haloacetonitrile formation potential (HANFP) of surface water and treated effluent wastewater samples. The results showed that the reduction of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), DON, hydrophobicity (HPO), absorbance at 254 nm (UV254), and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) of both water samples by VUV was higher compared to using UV. The addition of H2O2 remarkably improved the performances of VUV and UV. VUV/H2O2 exhibited the highest removal efficiency for DOC and DON. Even though HANFP increased at the early stage, its concentration decreased (19–72%) at the end of treatment (60 min). Decreases in DON (30–41%) and DOC (51–57%) led to HANFP reduction (53–72%). Moreover, FEEM revealed that substantial reduction in soluble microbial product-like compounds (nitrogen-rich organic) had a strong correlation with HANFP reduction, implying that this group of compounds act as a main precursor of HANs. The VUV/H2O2 system significantly reduced HANFP more than UV/H2O2 and therefore is suitable for controlling HAN precursors and HAN formation in drinking water and reclaimed wastewater. | |||||
24345. 题目: Engineered biochar via microwave CO2 and steam pyrolysis to treat carcinogenic Congo Red Dye We developed an innovative single-step pyrolysis approach that combines microwave heating and activation by CO2 or steam to transform orange peel waste (OPW) into microwave activated biochar (MAB). This involves carbonization and activation simultaneously under an inert environment. Using CO2 demonstrates dual functions in this approach, acting as purging gas to provide an inert environment for pyrolysis while activating highly porous MAB. This approach demonstrates rapid heating rate (15 - 120 °C/min), higher temperature (> 800 °C) and shorter process time (15 min) compared to conventional method using furnace (> 1 h). The MAB shows higher mass yield (31 - 44 wt%), high content of fixed carbon (58.6 - 61.2 wt%), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) surface area (158.5 - 305.1 m2/g), low ratio of H/C (0.3) and O/C (0.2). Activation with CO2 produces more micropores than using steam that generates more mesopores. Steam-activated MAB records a higher adsorption efficiency (136 mg/g) compared to CO2 activation (91 mg/g), achieving 89 - 93% removal of Congo Red dye. The microwave pyrolysis coupled with steam or CO2 activation thereby represents a promising approach to transform fruit-peel waste to microwave-activated biochar that remove hazardous dye. | |||||

24348. 题目: Influence of forest management activities on soil organic carbon stocks: A knowledge synthesis Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils. By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can influence soil C stocks in forests. In this review, we synthesize current evidence regarding the influences of 13 common forest management practices on forest soil C stocks. Afforestation of former croplands generally increases soil C stocks, whereas on former grasslands and peatlands, soil C stocks are unchanged or even reduced following afforestation. The conversion of primary forests to secondary forests generally reduces soil C stocks, particularly if the land is converted to an agricultural land-use prior to reforestation. Harvesting, particularly clear-cut harvesting, generally results in a reduction in soil C stocks, particularly in the forest floor and upper mineral soil. Removal of residues by harvesting whole-trees and stumps negatively affects soil C stocks. Soil disturbance from site preparation decreases soil C stocks, particularly in the organic top soil, however improved growth of tree seedlings may outweigh soil C losses over a rotation. Nitrogen (N) addition has an overall positive effect on soil C stocks across a wide range of forest ecosystems. Likewise, higher stocks and faster accumulation of soil C occur under tree species with N-fixing associates. Stocks and accumulation rates of soil C also differ under different tree species, with coniferous species accumulating more C in the forest floor and broadleaved species tending to store more C in the mineral soil. There is some evidence that increased tree species diversity could positively affect soil C stocks in temperate and subtropical forests, but tree species identity, particularly N-fixing species, seems to have a stronger impact on soil C stocks than tree species diversity. Management of stand density and thinning have small effects on forest soil C stocks. In forests with high populations of ungulate herbivores, reduction in herbivory levels can increase soil C stocks. Removal of plant biomass for fodder and fuel is related to a reduction in the soil C stocks. Fire management practices such as prescribed burning reduce soil C stocks, but less so than wildfires which are more intense. For each practice, we identify existing gaps in knowledge and suggest research to address the gaps. | |||||
24349. 题目: The role of synergistic effects between ozone and coagulants (SOC) in the electro-hybrid ozonation-coagulation process In order to improve the dissolved organic matter removal efficiency, an electro-hybrid ozonation-coagulation (E-HOC) system was developed in this study, in which the electro-coagulation (EC) and ozonation occurred simultaneously in one integrated unit. Higher removal efficiency was observed for the E-HOC process compared with those of EC, ozonation and pre-ozonation-EC process for the treatment of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent and ibuprofen (IBP). 58.6% dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiency was achieved in the E-HOC process for the treatment of WWTP effluent at optimal operational condition (current density 15 mA/cm2, initial pH 5 and ozone dosage 1.5 mg O3/mg DOC). Based on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection and reactions on the electrodes, the synergistic effects between ozone and coagulants (SOC) were found to be involved in the E-HOC process. According to pseudo-first-order rate constant analyses, the contribution of five possible organic removal pathways was quantified. It was revealed that the peroxone and SOC effects exhibited almost equal contribution to IBP removal at initial pH 5 under different current densities, both of which played the dominant role in the E-HOC process. However, the contribution of the SOC effects decreased significantly when the initial pH increased to 7 and 9. As an important pathway for organic removal in the E-HOC process at initial pH 5, the mechanism of the SOC effects was analysed at initial pH 5. It was revealed the SOC effects can further improve hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generation, and the surface hydroxyl groups of the hydrolysed Al species generated from anode electrolysis were determined to be the active sites to generate ROS in the SOC effects. | |||||
24350. 题目: Assessment of Cd availability in rice cultivation (Oryza sativa): Effects of amendments and the spatiotemporal chemical changes in the rhizosphere and bulk soil Immobilization is widely used to decrease the availability of heavy metals, such as Cd and Pb, in contaminated soils. However, the spatial and temporal changes in the immobilization of soil by amendments combined with planting effects have not been studied well. In this study, unplanted and planted (with rice plants) pot experiments were used to assess the spatial and temporal changes in water-soluble Cd, Fe, Mn, and Ca. Soil properties, such as pH, redox potential (Eh), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), were continuously recorded in both the rhizosphere and bulk soil using non-invasive rhizon samplers and a microelectrode system (Unisense). In unplanted soil, pH and Eh varied with time, but showed little radial variation from the rhizosphere to the bulk soil. The addition of hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) sharply increased the pH, DOC, and Ca content; decreased the Eh, Fe content, and Mn content; and gradually decreased the water-soluble Cd content in the soil profile. Hydroxyapatite showed no obvious effects in reducing Cd concentrations in different soil zones. The water-soluble Fe, Mn, Ca, and DOC content did not differ significantly between soil zones over time and a non-significant correlation with water-soluble Cd was shown. In planted soil, the pH increased while the Eh value decreased with an increase in the distance from the roots, regardless of the soil amendments used during the rice growth period. Hydroxyapatite gradually increased but hydrated lime decreased the water-soluble Cd in the rhizosphere. The concentration of water-soluble Cd in the rhizosphere was higher than that of the other soil zones during rice growth. These changes lead to more Cd uptake by roots and induced Cd accumulation in rice tissues. In addition, Cd and Fe concentration in iron plaque showed a significant positive correlation with Cd in rice, indicating that iron plaque promotes the uptake and accumulation of Cd in rice with soil amendments. Compared with the control, hydroxyapatite did not significantly affect the Cd content, while Ca(OH)2 significantly reduced the Cd content in iron plaque and rice tissues. In conclusion, the application of hydrated lime can significantly reduce the risk of Cd accumulation by rice in Cd-contaminated soils under flooding conditions. | |||||
24351. 题目: The distribution of long-chain n-alkan-2-ones in peat can be used to infer past changes in pH Long-chain (C21-C33) n-alkan-2-ones are biomarkers ubiquitous in peat deposits. However, their paleoenvironmental significance lacks constraints. Here we evaluate the influence pH exerts on the occurrence of long-chain n-alkan-2-ones in Chinese peats. A comparison of the distribution in a collection (n = 65) of modern peat samples with different pH (pH values 4.4–8.6) from China demonstrates that their distribution is significantly different in acid compared to alkaline peat. This difference can be explained by the pH control on the conversion of n-alkan-2-one precursor compounds (n-alkanes and fatty acids). Transfer functions between pH and n-alkan-2-one ratios were established using linear and logarithmic regression models. We then applied these proxies to reconstruct variations of paleo-pH in the Dajiuhu peat sequence to identify the history of peatland acidification over the last 13 kyr. We find significant changes in paleo-pH during the deglaciation/early Holocene and relate these to times of dry climate in the region. The drought-induced peat acidification is supported by observations from modern drying events in the peatland. We propose that long-chain n-alkan-2-ones in peats have potential to trace paleo-pH changes across the deglaciation and Holocene, although further research from different peatlands and time periods is still needed. | |||||

24353. 题目: Depth‐dependent soil organic carbon dynamics of croplands across the Chengdu Plain of China from the 1980s to the 2010s Agricultural soils have tremendous potential to sequester soil organic carbon (SOC) and mitigate global climate change. However, agricultural land use has a profound impact on SOC dynamics, and few studies have explored how agricultural land use combined with soil conditions affect SOC changes throughout the soil profile. Based on a paired soil resampling campaign in the 1980s and 2010s, this study investigated the SOC changes of the soil profile caused by agricultural land use and the correlations with parent material and topography across the Chengdu Plain of China. The results showed that the SOC content increased by 3.78 g C kg‐1 in the topsoil (0‐20 cm), but decreased in the 20‐40 cm and 40‐60 cm soil layers by 0.90 and 1.26 g C kg‐1, respectively. SOC increases in topsoil were observed for all types of agricultural land. Afforestation on former agricultural land also caused SOC decreases in the 20‐60 cm soil layers, while SOC decreases only occurred in the 40‐60 cm soil layer for agricultural land using a traditional crop rotation (i.e., traditional rice‐wheat/rapeseed rotation) and with rice‐vegetable rotations converted from the traditional rotations. For each agricultural land use, SOC decreases in deep soils only occurred in high relief areas and in soils formed from Q4 (Quaternary Holocene) grey‐brown alluvium and Q4 grey alluvium that had a relatively low soil bulk density and clay content. The results indicated that SOC change caused by agricultural land use was depth‐dependent and that the effects of agricultural land use on soil profile SOC dynamics varied with soil characteristics and topography. Subsoil SOC decreases were more likely to occur in high relief areas and in soils with low soil bulk density and low clay content. | |||||

24355. 题目: Bio-reduction and synchronous removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions using novel microbial cell/algal-derived biochar particles: turning an environmental problem into an opportunity In China, Dolichospermum flos-aquae is one of the most prevalent bloom-forming cyanobacteria and thus a major challenge for the concerned catchment area. To solve this problem and turn it into an opportunity for heavy metal remediation, we investigated the potential of D. flos-aquae for production algal biochar, and constructed a microbe-algal biochar composite. The microbe-biochar composite (biochar immobilized Proteus mirabilis PC801) showed superior hexavalent chromium removal capacity. It produced 100 % Cr(VI) (150 mg/L) removal efficiency, with 87.7% total Cr immobilized in/on the particles and only 12.3% Cr(III) left in solution. Furthermore, Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy and antioxidase activity results showed that Cr(VI) reduction mainly occurred outside the cells, and the biochar can effectively protect P. mirabilis YC801 from the direct toxicity of chromium, thereby promoting the removal efficiency. Overall, this study provides a promising approach by utilizing this harmful algae for the bio-remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated groundwater in practical application. | |||||
24356. 题目: Re-use of sugarcane residue as a novel biochar fertiliser - Increased phosphorus use efficiency and plant yield With the advent of mechanized sugarcane harvesting in Brazil around 70 Mt of straw each year is left on the field, and ∼70% of its carbon (C) is decomposed and returned to the atmosphere on the same timeframe. The adoption of a stabilised C product such as biochar as a vehicle for nutrient delivery might address two ends of a problem: to increase nutrient use efficiency by plants while creating a viable and efficient strategy to increase stable C in soil. This study proposed a production route for a biochar fertiliser (BF) from sugarcane straw biochar (SSB), by activation of SSB with KOH and subsequent neutralisation with H3PO4. The phosphorus (P) content of BF (8.6% P) was superior to SSB. It was also noticed that structure of SSB matrix was altered, creating increased sorption capacity, with the fertiliser bound to the biochar rather than physically mixed. The BF was tested in a controlled condition experiment with sugarcane for 120 days using three low P soils with different clay contents (147, 326 and 528 g kg−1). BF led to higher biomass yield (15%) and P use efficiency (PUE) (∼10%) compared to standard P source (triple superphosphate – TSP) in the most clayey soil. The adoption of a fertiliser based on a nutrient enriched biochar can increase the effectiveness of crop production. Enhanced delivery of crop nutrients increases the attractiveness of increased soil C. | |||||
24357. 题目: Remediation of crude oil-contaminated coastal marsh soil: Integrated effect of biochar, rhamnolipid biosurfactant and nitrogen application Decontamination of oil spills from coastal wetland soils requires a delicate approach. A microcosm study was carried out to investigate the impact of integrated application of biochar, rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactant and nitrogen (N) on petroleum hydrocarbon remediation in a Louisiana coastal saline marsh and their impact on soil microbial community. The soil was artificially contaminated with crude oil and subjected to treatments of different combinations of sugarcane residue biochar, RL, and coated urea. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the contaminated soil were analyzed periodically using gas chromatograph and associated soil bacterial community was studied using 16 s rRNA sequencing technologies. Results showed that integrated application of biochar + RL, biochar + N, and biochar + N+RL reduced 32.3%, 73.2%, 80.9% of TPH, respectively, and exhibited synergic interaction with higher efficiency than application individually. Combined treatments showed distinct functions that biochar increased the sorption of aromatic compounds, while RL and N enhanced the degradation of heavy and light aliphatic compounds. All remediation treatments caused reduction of soil bacterial diversity while RL and N shifted the microbial community to higher abundances of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, respectively. Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate the positivity of applying integrated biochar, biosurfactant, and N treatment in oil remediation in wetland soils. | |||||
24358. 题目: Carbon and phosphorus transformation during the deposition of particulate matter in the large deep reservoir As the running time of reservoirs is increasing, a large number of reservoirs are becoming eutrophicated. Organic phosphorus (OP) is a key factor in eutrophication. However, the mechanism and extent to which organic matter degradation affects P recycling in water column of large deep reservoirs are unclear, especially for the newly-built ones. In this study, different forms of carbon (C) and P in the water column of Hongjiadu Reservoir were investigated. The contents of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic phosphorus (POP) both decreased with depth in summer, indicating that organic matter was degraded during the deposition of particulates. In contrast, the contents of POC and POP varied slightly with depth in winter. This difference may result from the double thermal stratification and the corresponding double oxygen stratification in summer. The POC/POP ratios were lower in the epilimnion and increased with depth, suggesting that P was preferentially regenerated relative to C during organic matter degradation. The contents of particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP) and POP were significantly negatively correlated, indicating that POP transformed into PIP in deeper water. The double thermoclines and oxyclines in Hongjiadu Reservoir lead to very low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the hypolimnion, which should receive sufficient attention. If water becomes hypoxic, enhanced P release during organic matter degradation will promote phytoplankton growth, leading to higher phytoplankton biomass and more severe DO depletion. Thus, a positive feedback loop may form among hypoxia, enhanced P release, higher primary productivity, and more severe hypoxia, accelerating P recycling in large deep reservoirs. Once if eutrophication occurs in these reservoirs, it will be very difficult to restore the water ecosystem. Thus, it is particularly important to prevent the occurrence of eutrophication and the formation of positive feedback loop as early as possible. This highlights the importance of both reducing external loading and improving DO level in large deep reservoirs. | |||||
24359. 题目: Dynamics in soil organic carbon of wheat-maize dominant cropping system in the North China Plain under tillage and residue management A site experiment was conducted to assess temporal dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) and the drivers under no-tillage (NT) and residue retention (RR) in the North China Plain (NCP). The results indicated that NT and RR can significantly increase SOC up to a depth of 30 cm. On average, NT increased SOC by 8.1–34.5% compared with PT, and RR increased SOC by 3.5–14.4% compared with R0 at 0–10 cm. Increases in SOC under NT or RR could be increased by 4–10 percentage points through the significantly positive interactions of NT and RR. Among the sources of SOC variations, tillage-induced variations accounted for 74.4 and 44.3% of the total variations in SOC at 0–5 cm for wheat and maize season, respectively. Experimental duration was also a significant source of variation. Stepwise regression indicated dynamics in SOC at 0–5 cm mainly due to the positive effects of precipitation, the negative effects of soil bulk density for the wheat season, the negative effects of radiation for the maize season, and antagonistic effects of temperature between wheat and maize season. Generally, positive effects of NT and RR on SOC were both confirmed, but fluctuations and variations induced by interactions of practices and seasonal climatic conditions were also significant in the NCP. | |||||
