为研究硝酸根(NO3-)对水体中甲基汞(MMHg)光化学降解的影响,采用室内模拟试验,验证了不同波长光照条件下,NO3-在MMHg光化学反应中的作用,探讨了NO3-浓度对MMHg光解速率及产物的影响,并根据溶液中Hg2+的浓度分析了MMHg光解反应的进行程度.结果表明,在自然光(NL)和紫外光(UV)条件下,只加入了NO3-的处理MMHg光降解速率分别为0.10、0.046 L.(ng·h)-1,Hg0的释放通量分别为1.05、1.27 ng,Hg2+的最终浓度分别为16.97、28.92 ng·L-1;在未加入NO3-和加入了C6H5COOH的条件下,MMHg的剩余浓度相差不大,其光降解速率也分别在0.052、0.015 L.(ng·h)-1左右,Hg0的释放通量分别为23.81、15.38 ng,Hg2+的浓度均小于10 ng·L-1,且呈现先增加后减小趋势.在可见光(VL)照射下,各处理下MMHg的光降解速率无显著性差异(P=0.56),为0.003 L.(ng·h)-1左右,Hg0的释放通量均为5 ng左右,Hg2+的浓度未超过3 ng·L-1,也呈现出先增加后减小的趋势.在NL条件下,随浓度NO3-的增加,MMHg的光降解速率也增加,且各处理间存在显著性差异(P〈0.05),Hg0的生成量随NO3-浓度的增加而减少,而Hg2+的浓度也随NO3-浓度的增加而增加.可见在有紫外光的条件下,NO3-对MMHg光降解反应历程、反应速率以及产物有重要影响.
To study effects of nitrate(NO3-) on monomethylmercury(MMHg) photodecomposition(PD),laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the role of NO3-in MMHg PD under various light radiations,and to examine effects of NO3-concentration gradients on MMHg PD rates and end products.We analysed the react processes according to Hg2+ concentration.The results indicated that in the reactor exposed to natural and ultraviolet radiation,and treated with NO3-,the rates of MMHg PD were calculated to be 0.10 L.(ng.h)-1 and 0.046 L.(ng.h)-1,respectively,Hg0 fluxes were 1.05 and 1.27 ng,respectively,and Hg2+concentrations were 16.97 ng.L-1 and 28.92 ng.L-1 respectively.In the experiments which were not spiked with nitrate or spiked with benzoic acid,MMHg PD rates were calculated to be 0.052 L.(ng.h)-1 and 0.015 L.(ng.h)-1,respectively,Hg0 fluxes were 23.81 ng and 15.38 ng,respectively,and all concentrations of Hg2+(10 ng.L-1) represented a trend of increasing firstly and then decreasing.There were no differences among the reactions exposed to visible light(P = 0.56),the PD rate was about 0.003 L.(ng.h)-1,Hg0 flux was about 5 ng,and Hg2+ concentrations showed a trend of increasing firstly and then decreasing.In the reactor exposed to natural light,with the increasing concentration of NO3-,MMHg PD rate increased,Hg0 flux decreased,and Hg2+ concentration increased with respect to time.All results indicate that NO3-has a significant effect on the react process,PD rate,and end products.
