摘要:
Efficient elimination of U(VI) from uranium wastewater is an urgent task for sustainable nuclear energy and environmental protection. In this study, magnetic graphene oxide decorated graphitic carbon nitride (mGO/g-C3N4) nanocomposite was prepared and used for photocatalytic reduction of U(VI) in wastewater under visible LED light irradiation for the first time. The batch experiments indicated that the mGO/g-C3N4 (mGCN) nanocomposite could efficiently reduce U(VI) under visible LED light, and a high U(VI) extraction capacity of 2880.6 mg/g was obtained with an extraction efficiency of 96.02%. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) elemental mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses demonstrated that the soluble U(VI) was immobilized by transforming it to metastudtite ((UO2)O-2 center dot 2H(2)O) by mGCN nanocomposite under visible LED light irradiation. This work indicated that the mGCN is a promising visible light catalyst for treatment of uranium wastewater. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要:
Uranium-contaminated wastewater associated with uranium (U) mining and processing inevitably releases into soil environment. In order to assess the risk of U wastewater contamination to groundwater through percolation, U adsorption and transport behavior in a typical red soil in South China was investigated through batch adsorption and column experiments, and initial pH and carbonate concentration were considered of the high-sulfate background electrolyte solution. Results demonstrated that U adsorption isotherms followed the Freundlich model. The adsorption of U to red soil significantly decreased with the decrease of the initial pH from 7 to 3 in the absence of carbonate, protonation-deprotonation reactions controlled the adsorption capacity, and lnCs had a linear relationship with the equilibrium pH (pHeq). In the presence of carbonate, the adsorption was much greater than that in the absence of carbonate owing to the pHeq values buffered by carbonate, but the adsorption decreased with the increase of the carbonate concentration from 3.5 to 6.5 mM. Additionally, the breakthrough curves (BTCs) obtained by column experiments showed that large numbers of H(+) and CO3(2-) competed with the U species for adsorption sites, which resulted in BTC overshoot (C/C0 > 1). Numerical simulation results indicated that the BTCs at initial pH 4 and 5 could be well simulated by two-site chemical non-equilibrium model (CNEM), whereas the BTCs of varying initial carbonate concentrations were suitable for one-site CNEM. The fractions of equilibrium adsorption sites (f) seemed to correlate with the fractions of positively charged complexes of U species in solution. The values of partition coefficients (kd(')) were lower than those measured in batch adsorption experiments, but they had the same variation trend. The values of first-order rate coefficient (omega) for all BTCs were low, representing a relatively slow equilibrium between U in the liquid and solid phases. In conclusion, the mobility of U in the red soil increased with the decrease of the initial pH and with the increase of the initial carbonate concentrations.
摘要:
In this paper, the developmental toxicity and apoptosis in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos induced by 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10-Gy gamma-ray irradiation were investigated and verified by single cell gel electrophoresis, acridine orange staining, flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, digital gene expression sequencing, and Western blot analysis. DNA damage, deformity rates, and apoptosis of zebrafish embryos were found to increase significantly with the increase of irradiation dose, and survival and hatching rates significantly decreased when the irradiation dose exceeds 0.10 and 0.05 Gy, respectively. Exposure to 0.10-Gy gamma-ray irradiation resulted in the swelling of cell mitochondria of zebrafish embryos and changes in their intracellular vacuoles. mRNA and protein expression levels of Shh (sonic hedgehog 19 KDa) and Smo (smoothened 86 KDa) of Hh signaling pathway associated with the development of early embryos significantly increased with the increase of irradiation dose. Expression of the AKT (56 KDa) and PiK3r3 (55 KDa) genes, which are anti-apoptotic and involved with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, significantly decreased, while expression of the bada gene, which is pro-apoptotic, significantly increased. The results show that gamma-ray irradiations of 0.01 and 0.05 Gy can induce developmental toxicity and apoptosis in zebrafish embryos via Hh and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, respectively.

摘要:
Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Syngonium podophyllum (S. podophyllum) have been used for wastewater treatment, and have exhibited a promising application in recent years. To determine the effects of A. niger on uranium enrichment and uranium stress antagonism of S. podophyllum, the S. podophyllum-A. niger combined system was established, and hydroponic remediation experiments were carried out with uranium-containing wastewater. The results revealed that the bioaugmentation of A. niger could increase the biomass of S. podophyllum by 5-7%, reverse the process of U(VI) reduction induced by S. podophyllum, and increase the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) of S. podophyllum to uranium by 35-41 and 0.01-0.06, respectively, thereby improving the reduction of uranium in wastewater. Moreover, A. niger could promote the cell wall immobilization and the subcellular compartmentalization of uranium in the root of S. podophyllum, reduce the phytotoxicity of uranium entering root cells, and inhibit the calcium efflux from root cells, thereby withdrawing the stress of uranium on S. podophyllum.

摘要:
Efficient removal of U(VT) from mine radioactive wastewater is important for environmental remediation and radiation protection. In this work, a new series of polyamidoxime/polydopamine-decorated graphene oxide (GO/PDA/PAO) composites were obtained by one-pot synthesis and used for the removal of U(VI) from mine radioactive wastewater. The as-synthesized GO/PDA/PAO composites (GO/PDA/PAO-0.2, GO/PDA/PAO-0.5, and GO/PDA/PAO-1) were examined by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of pH, ionic strength, contact time, initial U(VI) concentration, and temperature on the adsorption behavior of U(VI) by GO/PDA/PAO were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of GO/PDA/PAO-0.2 was 502.5 m g/g at pH 6.0 and 298 K. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms can be well illustrated by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamic study indicated that the removal of U(VI) by GO/PDA/PAO-0.2 was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The interactions between GO/PDA/PAO-0.2 and U(VI) were explained based on the FT-IR and XPS analyses. Furthermore, GO/PDA/PAO was applied for U(VI) removal from mine radioactive wastewater. The concentration of U(Vl) in the wastewater can be reduced to 7.28 /mu g/L, which is below the allowable uranium concentration for drinking water stipulated in the standard by the World Health Organization (30 mu g/L).
