Here we investigated the potential oxidation and adsorption pathways of Sb(Ⅲ and V) species in the presence of Mn(Ⅱ) and Mn-oxidizing bacteria, with or without Fe(Ⅱ). Batch experiments were conducted to determine the oxidation and adsorption characteristics of Sb species in the presence of biogenic Mn oxides(BMOs), which were formed in-situ via the oxidation of Mn(Ⅱ) by a Mn-oxidizing bacterium(Pseudomonas sp. QJX-1). Results indicated that Sb(Ⅲ) ions could be oxidized to Sb(V) ions by BMO, but only Sb(V) originating from Sb(Ⅲ) oxidation was adsorbed effectively by BMO. Introduced Fe(Ⅱ) was chemically oxidized to Fe OOH, the precipitates of which mixed with BMO to form a new compound, biogenic Fe–Mn oxides(BFMO). The BMO part of the BFMO mainly oxidized and the Fe OOH of the BFMO mainly adsorbed the Sb species. In aquatic solutions containing both As(Ⅲ) and Sb(Ⅲ), the BFMO that formed in-situ preferentially oxidized Sb over As but adsorbed As more efficiently. Chemical analysis and reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that the presence of Fe(Ⅱ), As(Ⅲ) and Sb(Ⅲ) accelerated the oxidation of Mn(Ⅱ) but inhibited the activity of Mn-oxidizing bacteria. These results provide significant insights into the biogeochemical pathways of Sb, Mn(Ⅱ) in aquatic ecosystems, with or without Fe(Ⅱ).展开更多

摘要17α-ethinylestradiol(EE2)is a persistent endocrine-disrupting chemical that threatens aquatic ecosystems.Algal extracellular organic matter(EOM),widespread manganese oxides(MnOx)and their photochemical interactions can drive the natural degradation of EE2.However,these processes can be regulated by the unique surrounding conditions in eutrophic plateau lakes,including elevated levels of dissolved organic carbon,high pH,and abundant anions.Here,we investigated the enhancement of EE2 photodegradation mediated by EOM and MnOx,with emphasis on the effects of above unique surrounding conditions.Results showed that higher EOM concentrations proceed faster EE2 photodegradation rate by providing sufficient binding sites and more superoxide radicals for Mn(III)generation.In contrast,elevated pH inhibited EE2 degradation due to pH-dependent surface modifications of MnOx,which suppressed Mn(III)formation.Nitrate can enhance EE2 photodegradation without influencing Mn(III)generation.Product identification and density functional theory calculations suggest that EE2 degradation proceeds via free radical attack and Mn(III/IV)-mediated electron transfer,producing both small oxidized products and oligomers such as dimers and trimers.This study clarifies the environmental drivers of organic micropollutants’degradation in eutrophic lakes,highlighting the environmental significance of surrounding conditions.

摘要The influence of Mn/Cr ratio variation in the Mn-Cr-rich body-centered cubic matrix phase on the high-temperature oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of L21-strengthened Al20Fe50CrxMn25-xTi5(x=15,25 at.%)lightweight high-entropy alloys(LWHEAs)was systematically investigated under a 168-h isothermal oxidation condition at 900℃.The results indicate that with the reduction in the Mn/Cr ratio,harmful oxides such as Mn2O3,MnO2,and spinel-type phases are progressively suppressed or even eliminated.Simultaneously,the dissolution kinetics of Al-Ti-rich L21 nano-precipitates in the x=25 at.%alloy(i.e.,Cr25Mn0)is significantly accelerated at elevated temperatures,leading to increased Al supply and promoting the formation of a thicker and more protective Al2O3 oxide layer.The oxidation rate constant kp of Cr25Mn0 was measured to be 3.61×10-7 mg2 cm-4 s-1,which is approximately one order of magnitude lower than that of Cr15Mn10(1.38×10-6 mg2 cm-4 s-1),demonstrating a substantial enhancement in oxidation resistance.Moreover,the decreasing Mn/Cr ratio enhances the solid solution strengthening effect within the LWHEA matrix,thereby improving mechanical performance.The average grain size of Cr25Mn0 decreased from 160.89μm in Cr15Mn10 to 140.39μm,corresponding to a grain refinement degree of 12.7%.When the Mn/Cr ratio reaches 0,the yield strength,Vickers hardness,ultimate compressive strength,and compressive fracture strain of Cr25Mn0 LWHEA increased by 5.74%,7.82%,20%,and 3.6%,respectively.
