摘要
作为一种新出现的污染物,微塑料(MPs)广泛存在于世界各地的环境中,并可能携带其他化学污染物。此外,由于福岛核电站废水的排放,水中的放射性污染物也越来越受到关注。其中,铀是核电站的重要燃料物质,具有放射性和重金属毒性。为了研究 MPs 与水中铀之间的相互作用,我们进行了批量实验,研究普通 PET MPs 对放射性重金属铀(U(VI))的吸附行为。结果表明,老化后 PET 对铀的吸附量增加了 69.02%。U(VI)的动力学吸附行为可以用假秒阶模型和埃洛维奇模型解释,U(VI)的等温吸附行为可以用朗缪尔模型和西普斯模型很好地拟合。吸附量依次为老化 PET、原生 PET 和超纯水、模拟淡水。此外,吸附过程还包括外部扩散和内部扩散。吸附容量受 pH 值和盐度的影响。吸附机理包括孔隙填充、静电作用和表面络合。MPs 的特性和环境是影响吸附过程的主要因素。该研究阐明了超纯水和模拟淡水中 MPs 对铀(VI)的吸附机理,旨在评估天然 MPs 与铀离子共存对水生环境的潜在风险。
Adsorption Behavior and Mechanism of Uranium on Polyethylene Terephthalate Microplastics in the Water Environment
As a kind of emerging contaminant, microplastics (MPs) widely exist in environments around the world and may carry other chemical pollutants. Besides, radioactive pollutants in water are getting more and more attention due to the discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Among them, Uranium is an important fuel substance in nuclear power plants, which has toxicity of radioactivity and heavy metals. In order to research the interaction between MPs and uranium in water, batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption behavior of radioactive heavy metal uranium (U(VI)) by ordinary PET MPs. The results showed that the adsorption amount of U(VI) onto PET increased (69.02%) after aging. The kinetic adsorption behavior of U(VI) could be explained by pseudo-second-order and Elovich models, and the isothermal adsorption behavior of U(VI) was well fitted by Langmuir and Sips models. The adsorption amounts were in the order of aged PET > virgin PET and ultrapure water > simulated freshwater. Besides, external diffusion and internal diffusion were included in the adsorption process. The adsorption capacity was affected by pH and salinity. The adsorption mechanisms included pore filling, electrostatic interaction, and surface complexation. The properties of MPs and the environment are the main factors affecting the adsorption process. The study elucidates the adsorption mechanism of U(VI) onto MPs in ultrapure water and simulated freshwater, aiming to assess the potential risk to aquatic environments where natural MPs and uranium ions coexist.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
