以网络状孔型结构发达的膨胀石墨（EG）为载体,采用化学沉积法制备了负载零价铁（ZVI）的膨胀石墨（EG-ZVI）.利用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线衍射（XRD）仪及X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）等对负载及反应前后的EG-ZVI进行表征,探究了EG-ZVI对硝酸根（NO₃^-）的去除效果并对其反应产物及机理进行了分析.结果表明,亚微米级零价铁已负载到EG石墨表面,且分布均匀;与EG相比,EG-ZVI对NO₃^-的去除能力显著提升,其去除率是EG的2.3倍.得益于铁碳原电池效应,EG-ZVI对pH依赖性比零价铁低,即使在pH=9的条件下,NO₃^-去除率依然能达到65%以上,是单独用零价铁处理时的1.83倍;EG-ZVI去除NO₃^-是吸附和还原过程共同作用的结果,符合三级动力学模型,其还原过程由负载在EG表面的零价铁发生腐蚀提供电子,从而还原NO₃^-产生以NH₄⁺-N为主的含氮化合物;EG-ZVI对NO₃^-具有较强的还原吸附作用,并能解决零价铁在反应过程中生成惰性层或金属氢氧化物导致去除效率低的缺陷,使其在含NO₃^-废水的处理中具有较高的应用潜力.

Unravelling the Interactions of Magnetic Ionic Liquids by Energy Decomposition Schemes: Towards a Transferable Polarizable Force Field

This work aims at unravelling the interactions in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) by applying Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) calculations, as well as based on those to set-up a polarisable force field model for these liquids. The targeted MILs comprise two different cations, namely: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim]⁺) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Emim]⁺), along with several metal halides anions such as [FeCl₄]⁻, [FeBr₄]⁻, [ZnCl₃]⁻ and [SnCl₄]²⁻ To begin with, DFT geometry optimisations of such MILs were performed, which in turn revealed that the metallic anions prefer to stay close to the region of the carbon atom between the nitrogen atoms in the imidazolium fragment. Then, a SAPT study was carried out to find the optimal separation of the monomers and the different contributions for their interaction energy. It was found that the main contribution to the interaction energy is the electrostatic interaction component, followed by the dispersion one in most of the cases. The SAPT results were compared with those obtained by employing the local energy decomposition scheme based on the DLPNO-CCSD(T) method, the latter showing slightly lower values for the interaction energy as well as an increase of the distance between the minima centres of mass. Finally, the calculated SAPT interaction energies were found to correlate well with the melting points experimentally measured for these MILs.     

Spatial distribution of metal(loid)s in groundwater of a mining dominated area: recognising metal(loid) sources and assessing carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic human health risk

The study represents the first systematic risk assessment study in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand, India for the safety of groundwater for drinking purpose with respect to metal(loid)s. The district is known for its mining and related activities. The results demonstrated that concentrations of the metal(loid)s showed significant spatial variation with Al, Mn, Fe, Ni and Zn exceeding the drinking water standards. Principal component analysis resulted in extraction of four factors explaining 76.3% of the data variability. The extracted principal components pointed towards both geogenic and anthropogenic activities governing the groundwater quality. Risk assessment was quantified by the hazard quotient (HQ) and cancer risk for both adult and child. The risk on human health posed by the metal(loid)s was found to be adverse for Mn with HQ > 1 for child. The chronic risks to the local population were largely contributed by Mn, Co and As. However, the carcinogenic risk for As was within the acceptable cancer risk value of 1 × 10^?4. Considering the geometric mean of the metal(loid)s in the study area, the hazard index (HI) for adult was above unity. Considering all the locations, the HI varied from 0.23 to 13.03 and 0.20 to 11.15 for adult and child, respectively, suggesting that the groundwater is unsuitable for drinking without treatment at most of the locations.

Speciation of alkylated metals and metalloids in the environment

The analytical methodology for speciation of metals and metalloids associated with alkyl groups and biomacromolecules is critically reviewed. Alkylated metals and metalloids are not only known to be produced by microbial methylation within most anaerobic compartments in the environment, but also in the course of enzymatic transformations during human metabolism. Because of the toxicological relevance of these compounds present in trace to ultratrace concentrations, firm species identification and exact quantification are essential. While many instrumental techniques coupling chromatography (GC, HPLC, CE, GE) with plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are available for quantification, methods used for structural identification often suffer from inadequate sensitivity (EI-MS, ESI-MS, MALDI-MS, FT-ICRMS). Other problems encountered are sample derivatisation artefacts, lack of suitable standards for quantification, lack of equilibrium between spikes and sample, and the integrity of metal–protein association during separation, in particular during SDS-PAGE. Selected application examples with respect to mercury and arsenic speciation will be discussed critically.      

Optimizing pyrolysis temperature of contaminated rice straw biochar: Heavy metal(loid) deportment,properties evolution,and Pb adsorption/immobilization

Pyrolysis of rice straw (RS), a popular method for producing biochar, effectively treats heavy metal(loid)-contaminated RS. Here, we carried out this process at different temperatures and investigated the deportment of heavy metal(loid)s and the property evolution of biochars. Also, the optimal pyrolysis temperature for Pb adsorption and immobilization was studied. We observed that increasing the temperature could volatilize the heavy metal(loid)s. Cd was the most volatile metal therein, followed by As, while Ni, Cu, and Pb were relatively refractory. More than 75% of the remaining heavy metal(loid)s were non-exchangeable fractions at 700 °C, significantly reducing the environmental risk during subsequent application. Meanwhile, higher pyrolysis temperature resulted in higher pH values, higher surface areas, and stronger Pb adsorption capacity of RS biochars. The maximum adsorption capacity (Q_m) of biochars was in the order of BC300 (77.2 mg·g^?1) < BC500 (137.2 mg·g^?1) < BC700 (222.6 mg·g^?1). Besides, high-temperature biochar could significantly reduce the vertical Pb migration. And BC700 increased the fraction of residual Pb from 39.7% to 44.0% in the soil under the acid rain leaching condition. Therefore, we propose that the heavy metal(loid)-contaminated RS biochar produced at 700 °C might be more suitable for the remediation of soil heavily polluted in the Pb-smelting area.     

Characterization and Analysis of the Electrochemical Proper-ties of the Polyaniline Synthesized by Emulsion Polymerization in Constant Magnetic Field(0.4 T)

A new, convenient and economical method was established firstly, which took loaded polyaniline (PANI) carbon paper as the working electrode to real‐time characterize and analyze the electrochemical properties of the PANI synthesized by emulsion polymerization in constant magnetic field (MF, 0.4 T). The characterization results of the electrochemical properties of the PANI had been proved by contrast analysis of the thermal stability of conductivity, FT‐IR, XRD and TGA of the PANI. The experimental results of cyclic voltammogram, AC impedance, Tafel curve and electrochemical stability showed that the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF had larger redox current, smaller charge resistance, higher corrosion potential and better electrochemical stability. The PANI thermal stability of conductivity had been measured in the temperature range from 20 to 140°C, and the results showed that the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF had better thermal stability of conductivity. The results of FT‐IR, XRD and TGA indicated that the characteristic peaks of FT‐IR spectra of the PANI synthesized in the presence of the MF shifted to the lower wavenumbers, and its crystallinity and thermal stability were also improved.

Reaction of Hydroxyurea with Iron(III): Products and the Stoichiometry of the Redox Reaction

Products and reaction stoichiometry of the interaction between iron(III) and hydroxyurea (HU) in aqueous solutions were studied. Under condition of an excess of iron(III) over hydroxyurea, initially formed mono(hydroxyureato)iron(III) complex decomposed through redox processes, forming two moles of Fe^II, one mole of NH₄⁺, one mole of CO₂, and 0.5 mole of N₂O per 1 mole of initially present HU. Hydroxyurea radical, H₂N‐CO‐NHO^?, was detected in the course of the reaction. The possible mechanism of the formation of the products is discussed and compared with that obtained for horseradish peroxidase mediated oxidation of hydroxyurea with hydrogen peroxide. The possibility of direct reaction of hydroxyurea with the iron center of protein R2 of the ribonucleotide reductase is proposed. The reaction examined may serve as a simple model for testing the suggested hydroxyurea like activity for chemical substances.
