This paper presents the results of ion exchange separation of sulfates and nitrates using AV-17-8 anion exchange resin in NO3 form. The efficiency of anion separation on the highly basic anion exchange resin AV-17-8 depends on the magnitude and ratio of their concentrations in water. Separation on the AV-17-8 anion exchange resin has been shown to be effective at concentrations of sulfates up to 800 mg/dm3 and nitrates up to 100 mg/dm3. Conditions for regeneration of 10% NaNO3 anion exchange resin were determined. Reagent precipitation of sulfates from the used regeneration solution in the form of calcium sulfate was carried out. Calcium sulfate precipitate can be used in the manufacturing of building materials. The regeneration solution is suitable for reuse. The developed results will allow to introduce low-waste desalination technology of highly mineralized waters. 94 I. Trus, M. Gomelya, V. Vorobyova, M. Skiba this problem, the processes of ion exchange separation of these ions in the stages preceding the reverse osmosis desalination of water can be used. The most characteristic anions of highly mineralized waters are chlorides, nitrates and sulfates. The use of an anion exchange resin Amberlite IRA 900 allows for the separation of chlorides and nitrates (Berbar, Y. et al. 2008). Today, reverse osmosis methods are preferred for purifying waters with a high content of chlorides and sulfates, (Mubita, T. et al. 2020). These anions can be preliminarily separated on the AV-17-8 anion exchange resin in Cl-form. During the electrochemical separation of chlorides and sulfates in the anode chamber, sulfuric acid is concentrated, and chlorides are oxidized and then released in the form of chlorine gas. It is much more difficult to purify water that contains nitrates along with sulfates. It should be noted that the extraction of nitrates from water with low mineralization is a simple task (Rajca, M. 2012, Wiśniowska E. and Włodarczyk-Makuła M. 2020). Ion exchange is a fairly simple and reliable method that allows to effectively remove nitrates, reducing their concentration in water to acceptable levels. Ion resins are well regenerated with the solutions of sodium, potassium and ammonium compounds. At high concentrations of chlorides and sulfates during their electrochemical separation a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids will form, which is unsuitable for further use. Therefore, this issue needs to be addressed urgently. However, the processes of regeneration of ion exchangers and utilization of the resulting eluates are insufficiently studied. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the processes of effective separation of sulfates and nitrates depending on their concentrations in water and to develop a method of processing of eluates, which will allow their reuse to create low-waste wa","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74046382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Japan, nationwide interlaboratory evaluation of olfactometry using a variety of test odorants started in 2002. In the interlaboratory tests, odor index, a sensory index of odor determined by the triangular odor bag method, is measured. In 2016, interlaboratory evaluation method of olfactometry was improved. Isoamyl acetate with a concentration of 50 ppm was used as a test odor, and a total of 128 olfactometry laboratories participated in the test. In this method, test results of 11 ‘excellent qualifi ed laboratories’ designated by the Japan Association on Odor Environment (JAOE) were used to determine reference value and repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations of odor index. On the bases of these statistical values, measurement results of each laboratory were evaluated, including trueness and precision. Among 127 evaluated laboratories, 87 laboratories (68%) conformed to both trueness and precision criteria. In the case of ‘qualifi ed odor measurement laboratories’ designated by the JAOE, 53 out of 68 laboratories (78%) conformed to both criteria. The qualifi ed odor measurement laboratories registration system of the JAOE contributes to the improvement of the quality of olfactometry laboratories and the reliability of odor measurement in Japan. Improvement of interlaboratory evaluation method of olfactometry in Japan 95 Reference value and repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations were, however, not necessarily appropriate, since they were determined using odor index measurement results of regular seven laboratories that participated in the interlaboratory comparison tests in 2000 and 2001. In this study, a new interlaboratory evaluation method of olfactometry developed in 2016 is introduced and discussed. In this method, test results of ‘excellent qualifi ed laboratories’ designated by the Japan Association on Odor Environment (JAOE) were used to determine reference value and repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations. Triangular odor bag method In several countries from Europe (EN 13725 2003) to North America (ASTM E679-04 2011), including Australia and New Zealand (AS/NZS 4323.3 2001), there are standardized methods used for the dynamic olfactometry analysis. These are dynamic air dilution methods for the determination of odor concentration. On the other hand, in several Asian countries, including Japan and China, the TOBM is used for odor evaluations (Brancher et al. 2017). TOBM is a static air dilution method by which odor concentration or odor index is determined. Odor concentration is the dilution ratio when odorous air is diluted by odor-free air in an odor bag until the odor becomes unperceivable. Odor index is the logarithm of odor concentration, multiplied by ten. TOBM was fi rst developed by the Tokyo metropolitan government in 1972 (Iwasaki et al. 1972, Iwasaki et al. 1978) and notifi ed by the Japan Environment Agency in","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74878921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of concentrations of oil products (diesel) and suspended solids, the sorbent type, the water flow rate and the interfering factors (chlorides) on the dynamic sorption of diesel and to test regeneration of polypropylene after its use for sorption. The sorbents used for study included common wheat straw (Triticum aestivum), polypropylene and sorbents modified with hydrogen peroxide solution. Standard methods were used for the determination of the investigated parameters and an in-house procedure employing a gas chromatograph was used for the determination of diesel concentration. The following factors that impact the sorption of diesel were investigated during the study: diesel concentration, concentration of suspended solids; type of sorbent (common wheat straw (Triticum aestivum), wheat straw modified with hydrogen peroxide, and polypropylene), water flow rate; and influence of the interfering factors (chlorides). Filtration speed in the range of investigated speeds does not affect the efficiency of diesel removal. Removal efficiency does not depend on the concentration of diesel before the sorbent reaches its maximum sorption capacity. Filling containing 50% of polypropylene and 50% of wheat straw was used for the study. It was found that polypropylene and wheat straw do not remove chlorides and suspended solids from solution. The study found that the solution of hydrogen peroxide boosts the hydrophobic properties of common wheat straw, but does not affect the sorption of diesel. The recommended number of regenerations of polypropylene should be limited to two. Experimental investigations of dynamic sorption of diesel from contaminated water 31 (Yalcinkaya et al. 2020, Lurchenko et al. 2019, Voronov et al. 2018, Kwasny et al. 2018). Sorption with a solid sorbent is one of the possible treatment methods. Sorbents can be used for the removal of oil products and organic pollutants from polluted water (Gushchin et al. 2018, Akpomie and Conradie 2021, Quím 2020, Rudkovsky et al. 2016, Paulauskiene 2018, Króla and Rożek 2020, Baiseitov et al. 2016). Clay minerals and modified clay minerals are also widely used for removing oil products and organic pollutants from water and soil (Li et al. 2016, Moshe and Rytwo 2018, Bandura et al. 2017). Scientists have tested polypropylene and other types of plastic for the removal of hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants as well (Baig and Saleh 2019, Karyab et al. 2016, Thilagavathi and Das 2018, Mohammadi et al. 2020). The sorption efficiency of oil depends on the porosity of the sorbent: sorbents with higher porosity have higher sorption capacity. There are three stages of sorption: the first stage is the initial one, where sorption is most intensive during the first minute. This represents the most intensive process of oi","PeriodicalId":48950,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Environmental Protection","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73783662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strain was identified as Enterobacter sp. based on the 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The effect of biosorption properties (pH value, Pb(II) concentration, bacterial concentration and temperature) on Pb(II) was investigated by batch experiments. Results of FTIR and XPS showed that the biosorption process mainly involved some oxygen-containing groups (-OH and -COOH groups). The experimental results and equilibrium data were fitted by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, respectively. The experimental biosorption isotherms fitted the Langmuir model, and the maximum biosorption capacity was 40.75 mg/g at 298 K. The calculated ΔGо and ΔHо were –4.06 and 14.91(kJ/mol), respectively, which indicated that biosorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Results show that Enterobacter sp. will be an efficient biosorbent for Pb(II) removal. Biosorption of Pb(II) by the resistant Enterobacter sp.: Investigated by kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics 29 et al. have found that Enterobacter sp. RC4 was capable of reducing crude oil content by 80%, which has been widely used (Baruah et al. 2016). Pb(II) biosorption by Enterobacter sp. is theoretically feasible, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on Pb(II) biosorption by Enterobacter sp., therefore, the use of Enterobacter sp. to adsorb Pb(II) has certain significance. The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) The strong Pb(II) resistant Enterobacter sp. was isolated from the Pb(II)-contaminated soils. (2) The influence of solution pH value, uptake time and biosorption doses on biosorption were investigated systematically. (3) XPS and FTIR were used to analyze the change elements and different functional groups on the surface of bacteria, respectively, and the morphological changes were analyzed by TEM. (4) The biosorption kinetics, thermodynamics and isotherm of Enterobacter sp. for Pb(II) were studied. Materials and methods Cultivation of biosorbent and identification The biosorbent was isolated from the Pb(II)-contaminated soils, and the samples (Pb(II)-contaminated soils) were stored in the School of Environment and Chemical Engineering, Anhui Vocational and Technical College. The strain was isolated by a specific method and was similar to the previous studies (Liu et al. 2018, 2019). Firstly, 10 g of soil sample was dissolved in 100 mL of sterile water, then the supernatant was gradually diluted to 10-4 times. Secondly, 1 mL of the dilution was spread on a nutrient agar plate (5 g/L of peptone, 1 g/L of glucose, 2.5 g/L of yeast extract) containing 100 g/L of Pb(II) ion, which was incubated for 24 hours at 37°C.

Rauschert), peppermint (Mentha x piperita) lemon balm (Melissa offi cinalis L.), and sage (Salvia offi cinalis L.) on the elevated contents of inorganic As species in soils. The ability of herbs to accumulate arsenic was tested in pot experiment in which soils were contaminated by As(III) and As(V). The As(III), As(V), AB (arsenobetaine), MMA (monomethylarsonic acid) and DMA (dimethylarsinic acid) ions were successfully separated in the Hamilton PRP-X100 column with high performance-liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) techniques. The study examined total arsenic contents in soil and plants, as well as the mobility of the arsenic species from the soil into the studied plants. Peppermint demonstrated the highest arsenic concentration and phytoaccumulation among studied plants. The sequential chemical extraction showed that arsenic in the contaminated soil was mainly related to the oxide and organic-sulfi de fractions. The results showed that the oxidized arsenic form had a greater ability to accumulate in herbs and was more readily absorbed from the substrate by plants. Research has shown that soil contaminated with As(III) or As(V) has different effects on the arsenic content in plants. The plant responses to strong environmental pollution varied and depended on their type and the arsenic species with which the soil was contaminated. In most cases it resulted in the appearance of the organic arsenic derivatives. The mobility of arsenic and its species in selected herbs 87 As in the environment are still increasing, due to the industrial development and economic growth. In Polish rivers, the content of As(III) in water was even 2.36 μg∙L-1 in the Kłodnica River (Jabłońska-Czapla 2015a) or 3.83 μg∙L-1 in the Biała Przemsza River (Jabłońska-Czapla 2015b). Human exposure to arsenic can cause various detrimental health effects, such as dermatological, pulmonary, cardiological, genetic, genotoxic or mutagenic (Selene et al. 2003). For humans, water and food are the main arsenic sources. When compared to its inorganic forms, the organic compounds of As are relatively non-toxic to humans. Inorganic arsenic forms are metabolized in the human body to their methylated species (in the methylation process) and removed at least partly, together with urine (Vahidnia et al. 2007). The application of hyphenated techniques such as high performance-liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) allows for speciation analysis (Cai et al. 2017, Das et al. 2001, Donner et al. 2017, Hong et al. 2018, Jabłońska-Czapla et al. 2014a, Jabłońska-Czapla et al. 2015, Jabłońska-Czapla 2015b, Marcinkowska et al. 2016, Templeton et al. 2000, Zheng et al. 2003).

The ability of chamomile to accumulate risk elements was tested in a pot experiment in which four soils contaminated by different levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), differing in their physicochemical parameters, were used. The element mobility in the soils was affected predominantly by the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soils. Whereas As, Pb, and Zn were retained in roots, Cd showed good ability to translocate to the shoots, including anthodia, even in extremely Cd-contaminated soil without symptoms of phytotoxicity. The bioaccumulation factor for Cd calculated as the ratio of element content in the plant and the soil was the highest among the investigated elements. Between 5.5 and 35% of the total Cd was released to infusion, and its extractability decreased with increasing Cd content in anthodia. The essential oil composition suggested an alteration of the abundance of the individual compounds. However, no detectable contents of risk elements were found in the oil.

The plant-availability of elements in soil is affected by the physicochemical parameters of the soils, climatic conditions, plant genotype, and plant management (Kabata-Pendias and Pendias 2001, Tokalıoğlu et al. 2003). Thus, the element content in plants is not directly related to the total element content in the soil (Schwartz et al. 2001). Among the physicochemical and biological parameters affecting the plant-availability of risk elements, soil pH, redox potential, cation exchange capacity (CEC), content of carbonates, hydroxides and oxides of Fe and Mn, clay minerals, organic matter, plant species, vegetation cover and the activity of soil organisms and microorganisms should be mentioned (Alloway 1990, Ross 1994, Cheng and Mulla 1999, Adriano 2001, Kabata-Pendias and Pendias 2001).
