UV/Fe(Ⅲ)工艺对络合态重金属的去除效果及机理

UV/Fe(Ⅲ)工艺是一种处理络合态重金属的新型组合工艺,该工艺先通过Fe(Ⅲ)的置换作用释放游离重金属离子,然后通过UV辐照对有机配体进行降解,最后通过碱性沉淀去除络合态重金属。以Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA、Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA为目标污染物,采用UV/Fe(Ⅲ)工艺对其进行去除,通过去除效果对比和机理分析,对组合工艺去除效果差异的内部机理进行阐述,并提出相应的优化方案。结果表明,UV/Fe(Ⅲ)工艺对Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA、Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA的去除效果存在较大差异,对两种络合态重金属中Cu、Ni的去除率分别为70%和41%。通过高效液相色谱(HPLC)、分光光度法、苯甲酸(BA)探针实验,确定Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA、Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA去除效果差异的主要原因是Fe(Ⅲ)对Cu(Ⅱ)、Ni(Ⅱ)的置换效果有明显差异,置换率分别是85%、22%。对Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA置换过程分别进行Fe(Ⅲ)投加量和反应温度优化,结果表明,反应温度优化可以显著提升Fe(Ⅲ)对Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA的置换效率。将反应温度提升至35℃,Ni去除率从41%提升至60%。反应温度在UV/Fe(Ⅲ)工艺中对Ni(Ⅱ)-EDTA的去除至关重要,适当升温有助于提高置换率,进而提升去除率。

Red-mud treatment using oxalic acid by UV irradiation assistance

Red-mud is the residue from the Bayer process, in which the iron minerals should be removed before red-mud is used to produce refractory materials. The iron minerals in red-mud were extracted by oxalic acid solution. The content of Fe （calculated in Fe203） in red-mud was reduced from 17.6% to less than 1% after being treated by 1 mol/L oxalic acid solution at 75 ℃ for 2 h. The Fe（Ⅲ） oxalate solution obtained was then irradiated by UV light, resulting in the precipitation of Fe（Ⅱ） oxalate. Under UV photocatalysis, more than 90% of Fe（Ⅲ） oxalate in the extracted solution was transformed into the precipitation of Fe（Ⅱ） oxalate crystallite （fl-FeC2O4·2H2O）. The filtrate from the Fe（Ⅱ） oxalate precipitate filtration could be reused in the next cycle. The mechanism ofUV photocatalysis precipitation was also discussed.

UV接枝聚硅氧烷-TiO_(2)复合棉织物的制备及性能

通过紫外辐射3-(异丁烯酰氧)丙基三甲氧基硅烷对棉织物进行接枝聚合改性,然后与钛酸四丁酯共水解,形成Si—O—Ti化学键,通过化学键合的形式引入TiO_(2)层。由于Si元素位于棉织物和二氧化钛之间,阻断TiO_(2)光催化降解棉织物。化学键合TiO_(2)与棉织物的结合强度高,提高了耐久性。TiO_(2)对棉织物的整体结构未造成改变,但棉织物的抗紫外线能力显著提升,禁带宽度变小,光催化自清洁能力增强。

Preparation and characterization of high photoactive TiO_2 catalyst using the UV irradiation-induced sol-gel method

High photoactive TiO2 catalyst was prepared using the sol-gel method through UV irradiation during the formation stage of nuclei. The surface morphology and microstructure of the prepared catalyst were characterized using scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction patterns （XRD）, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FF-IR）. The photoactivity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue. The results show that the photocatalysis of the prepared catalyst is higher than that of conventional heat-treated particles. The higher photoactivity is a combined result of favorable microstructure, appropriate hydroxyl groups, and active sites of Ti^3＋ ions on the surface of TiO2. It is concluded that the ultraviolet irradiation-induced sol-gel method is an effective method to enhance the photocatalysis of TiO2.

Strain H_2-419-4 of Haematococcus pluvialis induced by ethyl methanesulphonate and ultraviolet radiation

Two strains H2-410 and H2-419 were obtained from the chemically mutated survivors of wild Haematococcus pluvialis 2 by using ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). Strains H2-410 and H2-419 showed a fast cell growth with 13% and 20% increase in biomass compared to wild type, respectively. Then H2-419-4, a fast cell growth and high astaxanthin accumulation strain, was obtained by exposing the strain H2-419 to ultraviolet radiation (UV) further. The total biomass, the astaxanthin content per cell, astaxanthin production of H2-419-4 showed 68%, 28%, and 120% increase compared to wild H. pluvialis 2, respectively. HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) data showed also an obvious proportional variation of different carotenoid compositions in the extracts of H2-419-4 and the wild type, although no peak of carotenoids appeared or disappeared. Therefore, the main compositions in strain H2-419-4, like its wild one, were free of astaxanthin, monoester, and diester of astaxanthin. The asexual reproduction in survivors after exposed to UV was not synchronous, and different from the normal synchronous asexual reproduction as the mother cells were motile instead of non-motile. Interestingly, some survivors from UV irradiation produced many mini-spores (or gamete?), the spores moved away from the mother cell gradually 4 or 5 days later. This is quite similar to sexual reproduction described by Elliot in 1934. However, whether this was sexual reproduction remains questionable, as no mating process has been observed.

UVA1 irradiation inhibits fibroblast proliferation and alleviates pathological changes of scleroderma in a mouse model

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of different doses of ultraviolet radiation A1 （UVA1） on human fibroblast proliferation and collagen level in a mouse model of scleroderma, so as to identify appropriate irradiation doses for clinical treatment of scleroderma. Monolayer from human fibroblasts was cultured in vitro, and a mouse model of scleroderma was established by subcutaneous injection of 100 μL of 400 μg/mL bleomycin into the back of BALB/c mice for 4 weeks. The mouse models and human fibroblasts were divided into UVA1- exposed （100, 60 and 20 J/cm2） and UVA-unexposed groups. At 0, 24 and 48 h after exposure, cell proliferation and levels of hydroxyproline and collagen were detected. UVA1 irradiation was performed 3 times weekly for 10 weeks, and the pathological changes of skin tissues, skin thickness and collagen level were observed after phototherapy. Cell proliferation and the levels of hydroxyproline and collagen were inhibited after phototherapy, and there was a significant difference between the UVAl-exposed cells and UVAl-unexposed cells （P 〈 0.001）. In addition, UVA1 phototherapy improved dermal sclerosis and softened the skin, and there were significant differences between the high-dose UVA1 group and the model group, and the negative group （P 〈 0.05）. It is concluded that UVA1 radiation can reduce cell proliferation, and decrease hydroxyproline and collagen levels in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. High-dose UVA1 phototherapy has marked therapeutic effect on scleroderma in the mouse model. Decreased collagen level may be related to the reduced number and activity of cells, as well as inhibition of collagen synthesis.

Photochemical behavior of benzo[a]pyrene on soil surfaces under UV light irradiation

The rates of photodegradation and photocatalysis of benzo [a]pyrene （BaP） on soil surfaces under UV light have been studied. Different parameters such as temperature, soil particle sizes, and soil depth responsible for photodegradation, catalyst loads and wavelength of UV irradiation blamed for photocatalysis have been monitored. The results obtained indicated that BaP photodegradation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. BaP photodegradation was the fastest at 30℃ . The rates of BaP photodegradation at different soil particle size followed the order： less than 1 mm〉less than 0.45 mm〉less than 0.25 mm. When the soil depth increased from 1 mm to 4 ram, the half-life increased from 13.23 d to 17.73 d. The additions of TiO2 or Fe2O3 accelerated the photodegradation of BaP, and the photocatalysis of BaP follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Changes in catalyst loads of TiO2 （0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3% （wt）） or Fe203 （2%, 5%, 7%, and 10% （wt）） did not significantly affect the degradation rates. Both BaP photocatalysis in the presence of TiO2 and Fe2O3 were the fastest at 254 nm UV irradiation.

Photoprotective Effects of Hydroxychloroqine and TCMs on Human Keratinocytes Damaged from Ultraviolet Irradiation

Objective: To investigate damage effects of ultraviolet irradiation on eternal keratinocyte-HaCaT cells and to evaluate photo-protective efficiency of hydroxychloroqine and Traditional Chinese Medicines(epigallocatechingallate[EGCG], baikal skullcap root and szechwan lovge rhizome) on HaCaT cells damaged by middle wave ultraviolet(UVB) irradiation. Methods: Subconfluent HaCaT cells were sham or UVB irradiated and treated with above TCM agents. The damage degree of HaCaT cells was observed by a light microscop. Cell growth was recorded by cell count and cellular activity was detected by MTT method. The secretion amount of IL-6 and TNF-α was measured by ELISA. Results: The irradiation damage of HaCaT cells was depended on the irradiated dosages and cellular activity was reduced by 36%-80%, with a maximum decrease over 90% after 72 h. The intervention of the above drugs may increase the cellular activity by 10%-72%. The photo-protective efficiency was more apparent in EGCG (from 1.19±0.07 to 1.28±0.06, P<0.01) than that in hydroxychloroqine (from 0.43±0.04 to 0.96±0.04, P<0.05). The other two tested drugs also showed photo-protective effect(from 0.44±0.07 to 1.21±0.02, P<0.05). As to cytokine secretion, EGCG could decline the secretion amount of IL-6 and TNF-α apparently. Hydroxychloroqine and baikal skullcap root baikal skullcap root could only reduce the secretion of IL-6. The secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α could not be inhibited by szechwan lovge rhizome. Conclusion: The injury effect of UVB irradiation on cultured keratinocytes is dose-dependent and the tested drugs have photo-protective potency. Inhibition of cytokine secretion may be one of the mechanisms related to reducing the damage effect of UVB irradiation.

Physicochemical properties of lacquer berries and decolorization of lacquer wax by physical adsorption and UV irradiation

Physicochemical properties of No.1 - No.6 lacquer berries were investigated from different origins. The Japan Showafuku (No.1) was the best cultivar of Rhus succedaneum, the size of the berry of it was near 3 -?4 folds, which was bigger than the Chinese cultivars (No.4 - No.6) of Rhus vernicifera et al. It had more than 5% ~ 10% of lacquer wax in pericard, and contained less than 6% - 8% of lacquer oil in seed. No.1 had lower acid value (A.V) and iodine value (I.V);the key factors for this were cultivar and its growing environment. The principal constituents of lacquer waxes of No.1?- No.6 were triglycerides of fatty acids with total saturated fatty acids (TSFA) of 75% - 82.7%, total unsaturated fatty acids (TUSFA) of 15.1% - 20%, and total dibasic acids (TDBA) of 5%. The CIEL a b system and Hunter whiteness formula were used to evaluate the bleaching effect on lacquer wax by physical adsorption and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The optimal conditions of physical decoloration were determined for activated carbon: kieselguhr = 3:2 (g/g) as adsorbent, a ratio of 1:20 (g/mL) for lacquer wax to petroleum ether, bleaching 30 min at 80?C. UV light achieved a good bleaching effect irradiated at 60?C for 60 hrs. UV irradiation definitely changed relative contents of fatty acids, TUSFA and TDBA decreased from 19.617% to 11.022% and 4.379% to 2.017% respectively, while TSFA could be raised from 76.462% to 86.077%, however, the mechanism of UV irradiation was still unclear and should be investigated in the future.

Electrochemical biosensing for dsDNA damage induced by PbSe quantum dots under UV irradiation

An electrochemical sensor for the detection of the natural double-stranded DNA(dsDNA) damage induced by PbSe quantum dots(QDs) under UV irradiation was developed.The biosensing membranes were prepared by successively assembling 3- mercaptopropionic acid,polycationic poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium) and dsDNA on the surface of the gold electrode.Damage of dsDNA was fulfilled by immersing the sensing membrane electrode in PbSe QDs suspension and illuminating it with an UV lamp. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to detect dsDNA damage with Co(phen)_3^(3+) as the electroactive probe.The UV irradiation,Pb^(2+) ions liberated from the PbSe QDs under the UV irradiation and the reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated in the presence of the PbSe QDs also under the UV irradiation were the three factors of inducing the dsDNA damage.The synergistic effect of the three factors might dramatically enhance the damage of dsDNA.This electrochemical sensor provided a simple method for detecting DNA damage,and may be used for investigating the DNA damage induced by other QDs.

Effect of Postharvest UV-C Irradiation on Phenolic Compound Content and Antioxidant Activity of Tomato Fruit During Storage

Mature-green tomato fruit （Solanum lycopersicum cv. Zhenfen 202） were exposed to different UV-C irradiation at 2, 4, 8, and 16 kJ m-2 and then stored under the dark at 14°C and 95% relative humidity （RH） for 35 d. Of these four doses, UV-C irradiation at 4 and 8 kJ m-2 significantly increased total phenolic contents in present tomato fruit by 21.2 and 20.2%, respectively. Furthermore, UV-C irradiation at 4 or 8 kJ m-2 promoted the accumulation of total flavonoids and increased the antioxidant activity. 2 or 16 kJ m-2 UV-C irradiation also enhanced antioxidant activity, but to a lesser extent. Seven phenolic compounds, viz., gallic acid, （＋）-catechin, chlorogenic acid, cafferic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, and quercetin in tomato fruit were identified and quantified by HPLC. Gallic acid was the major phenolic compound in tomato fruit and significantly correlated with antioxidant activity. 4 or 8 kJ m-2 UV-C irradiation significantly increased the contents of gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, and quercetin. The optimum dose of UV-C irradiation in terms of increased phenolic compound content and enhanced Antioxidant activity was determined to be 4 or 8 kJ m-2.

Ultraviolet irradiation induced oxidative stress and response of antioxidant system in an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L.

The response of the antioxidant defense system of an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L.to different dosages of UV-B irradiation was investigated.Results showed that superoxide dimutase （SOD） and peroxidase （POX） increased and then maintained at a relatively stable level when subjected to UV-B irradiation.Catalase （CAT） activity under medium dosage of UV-B irradiation （Muv） and high dosage of UV-B irradiation （Huv） treatments were significantly decreased.Ascorbate peroxidase （APX） activity first remained unaltered and then increased in Huv treatment.In addition,the assay on isozymes was carried out using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （PAGE）.The activities of some SOD isoforms were altered by UV-B.Two new bands （POX V and POX VII） appeared upon exposure to all three UV-B dosages.CAT III activity was increased by low dosage of UV-B irradiation （Luv）,whereas CAT III and CAT IV disappeared when the alga was exposed to Muv and Huv.Two bands of APX （APX VI and APX VII） were increased and a new band （APX X） was observed under Huv exposure.H 2 O 2 and thiobarbituric acid reacting substance （TBARS） increased under Muv and Huv treatments.Overall,UV-B protection mechanisms are partly inducible and to a certain extent sufficient to prevent the accumulation of damage in C.officinalis.

Completely Green Synthesis of Ag Nanoparticles Stabilized by Soy Protein Isolate under UV Irradiation

A completely green pathway for the preparation of Ag nanoparticles was proposed, by using soy protein isolate （SPI） as stabilizer under UV irradiation and H2O as the environmentally benign solvent throughout the preparation. Transmission electronic microscopy （TEM） and zeta potential characterization results indicated that the Ag nanoparticles were stable and well dispersed with an average diameter about 13 nm, and X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis of SPI/Ag composite nanoparticles confirmed the formation of metallic silver. UV-Vis spectrum showed that the Ag nanoparticles dispersion solution had the maximum absorbance at about 430 nm due to surface plasmon resonance of the Ag nanoparticles. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the polypeptide backbone of SPI was not cleaved during the conjugation process and that some active amino groups were oxidized. The SPI/Ag composite nanoparticles have excellent antibacterial activity against two representative bacteria, staphylococcus aureus （Gram positive） and escherichia coli （Gram negative） in the presence of SPI.

Effect of UV Irradiation on PAN Precursor Fibers and Stabilization Process

A low-cost rout for modification the polyacrylontrile（PAN） precursor fibers was developed.The approach involved pretreatment PAN precursor fibers with UV irradiation for various periods of time before the fibers were stabilized.The effect of UV irradiation on the chemical structure,orientation factor,density,crystallite size and morphology of the fibers in the process of stabilization was characterized by use of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）,float-sink procedure,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscope（SEM）,respectively.The results showed that UV irradiation could increase the density of the fibers in stabilization process.FTIR analysis indicated that the cyclization of nitrile groups was initiated at room temperature by UV irradiation.The transformation of C≡N groups to C=N ones was accelerated in the process of stabilization.The orientation factor of irradiated fibers was also increased.The crystallite size was decreased at first and increased later,and the better irradiation time of UV was 3 min according to the XRD test.SEM analysis indicated that irradiation could decrease the internal and surface defects of the stabilized fibers treated at 300 ℃.

Protective Effect of Gelatin and Gelatin Hydrolysate from Salmon Skin on UV Irradiation-Induced Photoaging of Mice Skin

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gelatin(SG) isolated from salmon skin and its hydrolysate(SGH) on photoaging skin, and the mechanism responsible for anti-photoaging. The average molecular weights of SG and SGH were 65 k Da and 873 Da, respectively. The amino acid compositions of SG and SGH were similar. Both of them were abundant in hydrophobic amino acids. Twenty-five peptides were identified from SGH. SG and SGH could improve UV irradiation-induced pathological changes of macroscopical tissue texture and skin morphology. Hydroxyproline content is an indicator of matrix collagen content, SG and SGH could inhibit the decrease of hydroxyproline content in photoaging skin in a dose dependent manner. In addition, SG and SGH could alleviate UV irradiation-induced oxidative damages to skin by increasing the activities of total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and catalase(CAT), increasing the content of glutathione(GSH) and decreasing the content of malonaldehyde(MDA). Moreover, SG and SGH could enhance immune regulation system by increasing the thymus index. Thus, the anti-photoaging mechanisms of SG and SGH were by inhibiting the depletion of antioxidant defense components, involving in the synthesis of collagen and enhancing the function of immune system. Besides, SGH showed a better result in protecting skin from photoaging than SG.

Solvent effects on gold nanoparticle formation from photochemical reduction of Au(Ⅲ)by UV irradiation

Colloidal gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) have attracted more and more attention in areas of materials science, biotechnology and organic chemistry due to their unique functions as molecular markers and their applications in diagnostic imaging and catalysis. The AuNP synthesis approaches have been well developed; however, the solvent effects have not been systematically studied yet.Here we analyzed and compared solvent effects on AuNP formation using UV irradiation of Au(Ⅲ) without adding any other ligands. By monitoring the surface plasmonresonance absorption of Au(Ⅲ)-containing solutions,results showed that both ketone and alcohol solvents can induce Au(Ⅲ) to form gold nanospheres; on the other hand, solvents like ACN and THF can induce Au(Ⅲ) to form nanostructures with longer dimensions. The possible mechanism was discussed, which could facilitate efficient photochemical synthesis of AuNPs and might apply to other metal NP synthesis.
