The results showed that toxicities decreased in an order of Cu2+>N-CuO>M-CuO. The 96 h EC50 of Cu2+ on Chlorella sp. was 1.06 mg /L, and of N-CuO it was 74.61 mg /L, while no pronounced toxicity was observed when the concentration of M-CuO was lower than 160 mg/L. Further experiments were carried out in order to study the toxicity mechanism of nano-CuO on Chlorella sp.. The results of Cu2+ release from N-CuO showed less than 0.2 mg/L Cu2+ were released, so the release of Cu2+ was not responsible for the toxicity. Further experiments showed N-CuO inhibited formation of Chlorophyll A. Content of Chlorophyll A in the control group was 4.75 mg/108 cells, while it declined to 2.89 mg/108 cells for 160 mg/L N-CuO after 96 h, which indicated that N-CuO could inhibit photosynthesis of Chlorella sp.. Moreover, N-CuO condensed with algal cells. It affected the activity of SOD and POD, indicating that N-CuO could cause oxidant stress to Chlorella sp.. These may be the toxicity mechanism.展开更多

The precursor was synthesized from water-alcohol mixed solution of Cu(Ac)2 using mixed solution of NaOH and Na2CO3 as precipitants. XRD, FT-IR, TEM, TG-DTA and surface area measurement techniques were used to investigate the properties of the CuO powder. The results show that the spherical, well dispersed nano-CuO powder with the average size of 15 nm and higher catalytic activity for H2O2 decomposition was obtained at 300 ℃. With the increasing of calcination temperature, crystal of CuO grows up, agglomeration of the powder becomes heavier and catalytic activity decreases. FT-IR patterns revealed that the vibration fine structure of Cu-O bond in nano-CuO powder disappears and main absorption is red-shifted with the average size of nano-CuO reducing.展开更多
