活性炭催化臭氧氧化工艺对焦化废水可生化性的改善

预氧化工艺常用来提高难降解工业废水的可生化性,其中以芬顿、臭氧应用最多。该文对这两种工艺提高煤化工行业焦化废水可生化性的性能做了对比,并提出了活性炭臭氧催化预氧化的改进工艺。试验表明单纯芬顿和臭氧预氧化并不能改善焦化废水的可生化性,而活性炭臭氧催化预氧化可以改善焦化废水的可生化性。经活性炭臭氧催化预氧化的焦化废水,BOD5/COD从0.16增加到0.24,COD去除率从72.5%提高到83.0%。     

Evaluation of Biodegradation of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced PVA Composites

Composites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) reinforced with different weight percentages of pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) were fabricated and evaluated for biodegradation by soil burial test and plate test. FTIR analysis indicated the existence of a chemical interaction between PVA and PALF. The water uptake study showed that the composites with higher fiber content displayed high tensile strength and brittleness but possessed lower water uptake potential. In the soil burial test, the composites with low matrix to filler ratios exhibited higher rates of degradation as evident by the associated decrease in molecular weights. Plate test performed using Pseudomonas putida showed that the composites were susceptible for degradation by bacteria. The results of this study indicated that PALF-reinforced PVA composites were completely biodegradable and could find potential applications in industries such as agriculture and packaging and safely disposed after use without causing environmental damage.     

医用镁及镁合金表面可生物降解有机高分子涂层的应用

近年来,镁及镁合金由于其生物可降解性和良好的生物相容性,在医疗器械领域的应用获得了迅速的发展,然而过快的降解速率限制了其在临床上的应用。可生物降解有机高分子涂层是一种降低镁及镁合金降解速率的有效表面改性方法,同时还可赋予镁及镁合金医疗器械多种功能性。首先综述了可降解有机高分子涂层对镁及镁合金耐腐蚀性能和生物相容性的影响。可降解聚合物涂层能阻碍腐蚀性介质与基体的接触,从而延长其降解时间。而涂层对基体的保护提供了碱性较弱的环境,更利于细胞的生长增殖;同时涂层随着基体一起降解,可降低聚合物长期存在生物体内可能引发炎症反应的风险。此外,对聚合物涂层在骨科以及心血管支架领域的应用以及进展进行了综述。一方面,可降解聚合物涂层能显著延长镁及镁合金在生物体内的作用时间;另一方面,涂层可以作为载体材料通过携带具有不同功能的试剂或者药物实现医疗器械的功能化,如促进骨愈合和药物的可控释放。因此,可降解聚合物涂层在镁和镁合金器械领域必将起到无可替代的作用。     

Anaerobic toxicity and biodegradability of pulp mill waste constituents

Batch bioassays have been conducted to characterize the response of methanogenic bacteria to several constituents of sulfite evaporator condensate. The results can be grouped into three ranges with increasingly severe consequences to anaerobic reactors: a low concentration, no effect range; a medium concentration range where methanogenesis is temporarily interrupted or slowed down, but may return to normal; and a high concentration range where methanogenesis is permanently inhibited. In some cases the toxicant was metabolized when present in the lower concentration ranges. There was also evidence that mechanisms other than fermentation to methane were significant in accounting for removal of the toxicants from solution. Organisms acclimated to low concentrations of a toxicant are better able to withstand a shock load of that toxicant than are unacclimated organisms.     

Combined γ-ray irradiation-activated sludge treatment of humic acid solution from landfill leachate

Humic acid, which is a typical microbially refractory organic substance, was extracted from a landfill leachate. The humic acid solution (COD = 367 mg 1⁻¹; TOC = 293 mg 1⁻¹; BOD = 27 mg 1⁻¹) was applied to a batch scale activated sludge treatment after the modification of its biodegradability by γ-ray irradiation. The BOD increased to 64 mg 1⁻¹ by irradiation of 15 kGy (1.5 Mrad), while the COD and TOC decreased to 231 and 230 mg 1⁻¹, respectively. When the irradiated sample was treated with an activated sludge, the BOD decreased rapidly in 2–3 h to about 15 mg 1⁻¹ which was a similar value as the unirradiated sample was treated. The elimination efficiency of TOC by the sludge treatment was approximately equal to that obtained by irradiation of 15 kGy. These facts suggest a utility of applying microbial processes after radiation treatment of microbially refractory wastewaters.

Fabrication of Biodegradable Polyurethane Foam Scaffolds with Customized Shapes and Controlled Mechanical Properties by Gas Foaming Technique

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based polyurethane (PU) foam scaffolds with different mechanical properties are fabricated using a gas foaming technique to use as porous substitutes for ear or bone with cartilage. PCL diol or triol is used as a polyol in PU foam for biocompatibility and biodegradation, with an aqueous gelatin solution as a blowing agent. The highly porous inner and outer structures of the scaffolds are developed by employing a silicone surfactant and sulfuric acid, respectively. The PU scaffolds prepared by PCL diol show ductile and flexible properties, whereas the PU scaffolds prepared by PCL triol exhibit high compression strength. In vitro test reveals the low toxicity of the PU scaffolds and the high ALP activity of MC3T3-E1 cells in the PU scaffold prepared by PCL triol. By taking advantage of the difference in mechanical properties, customized PU scaffolds with ear or bone shapes are fabricated using a silicone mold. The PU scaffolds with two compartments of PCL diol and triol (corresponding to cartilage and bone, respectively) are fabricated as a substitute for bone with cartilage. It is believed that the PU scaffolds with highly porous structure and controlled mechanical properties have wide potential application for tissue engineering.

Biodegradable and conductive hyperbranched terpolymers based on aliphatic polyester,poly(D,L-lactide), and polyaniline used as scaffold in tissue engineering

Designing the novel conductive and biodegradable scaffolds based on star-like hyperbranched terpolymers of aliphatic polyester–poly(D,L-lactide)–polyaniline (S-HAP–PLA–PANI) was the purpose of this research. The electroactivity of tissue engineering scaffold, which in the current work was for the presence of PANI, is an essential factor in its performance because the electrical signals are the pivotal physiological stimuli that control the adhesion and differentiation of various cell types. Star-shaped polymers have attracted conspicuous attention, thanks to their low-cost, well-defined highly functionalized structures and low crystallinity, and they also could be an interesting alternative to the linear analogs for their interaction with surrounding tissue and faster degradation rate. In the present work, after 12 weeks, the mass loses for S-HAP–PLA–PANI sample were calculated to be 45%. Scaffolds based on S-HAP–PLA–PANI/PLA nanofibers having the average diameter of 70–200?nm and electrical conductivity of 0.05 S cm^?1 imitated the natural microenvironment of extra cellular matrix to regulate the cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation.
