Soil pollution is becoming increasingly serious due to resource exploitation in mining areas, which directly affects the stability of the surrounding soil and water environment, and the accurate prediction of heavy metal pollution source analysis has an important guiding role in scientific mine remediation and treatment. On the basis of the previous study, in order to improve the interpretation of the soil media model, positive matrix factorization (PMF) and absolute factor analysis-multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR) models, which have a high degree of maturity and accuracy in the evaluation of heavy metal source analysis in soils, were further selected to enrich the UNMIX model in the previous study. The results of the multiple receptor models analyzing the sources of heavy metal contamination and the contribution of the sources were combined with the ecological risk assessment method to determine the most suitable model in study area under quantitative conditions. The results showed that: 1) the ecological high-risk areas were mainly concentrated in the south and east part of the study area, and Cd was the main risk element of the mine; the mean value of igeoaccumulation index was 3.75, which was highly consistant with the mean value of 731.22 for the potential ecological risk index though latter provided a more comprehensive evaluation of ecological hazards. 2) Comparing the results of the three models, the PMF model resolved four pollution sources: coal combustion source, natural-traffic integrated source, natural source and atmospheric deposition source, and the source contribution rates are 38.15%, 20.62%, 24.28% and 16.95%, respectively. 3) The fitted variables R2 in the PMF model reached to 0.96, which showed the best fitting effect. The PMF model refines source apportionment by accounting for sampling point errors and accurately ascertaining pollution sources and their contributions, making it highly suitable for complex mine-contaminated soils in realistic research settings. The findings of this study can provide a reference for tracing the origins of contaminants, which is essential for the remediation efforts of polluted soils following mining activities in the area.

The environmental restoration and ecological treatment of abandoned mining areas are of great significance for the construction of ecological civilization. In view of the heavy metal pollution in soil caused by mining, it is particularly important to carry out the investigation of heavy metal pollution characteristics and health risk assessment for the design and construction of mining treatment schemes. The pollution characteristics of soil heavy metals(As, Cd, Cu, Mn and Ni)of Dafanshan abandoned alum mining area in Lujiang county of Anhui province were analyzed, and the pollution assessment and human health risk assessment were established by combining the site accumulation index method, potential ecological risk index method and health risk assessment model(USEPA).The results show that the contents of As and Cd in the soil of the abandoned alum mining area significantly exceed the standard, and compared with the risk screening value of agricultural land, the exceeding rates are 77% and 100%, respectively; Cu in soil is slightly polluted, and the exceeding rate is 16%; the contents of Mn and Ni do not exceed the standard; in addition, the above five heavy metal elements in the descending order of the coefficients of variation are Ni, Mn, Cu, Cd and As; the study area has strong potential ecological risk, and the potential ecological risk index shows that As and Cd are the main risk elements, and the soil is mainly in quite-strong and very-strong potential ecological risks. The health risk assessment model shows that the indirect oral intake of excessive heavy metals in soil is the main route of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks; As and Cd are within the acceptable ranges of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for adults and children through oral ingestion, and there is no carcinogenic risk for adults and children through respiratory ingestion and skin contact.

Bacillus subtilis has great effects on soil water and salt movement. In this paper, 5 different contents of Bacillus subtilis (0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg) were set, aiming to study the soil water cumulative infiltration, infiltration rate, wetting front, soil water contents and salt contents in each profile, as well as water-stable aggregate contents. The results showed that with the applying of Bacillus subtilis, the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate in saline-alkali soil decreased obviously, compared to that in the control of soil columns, due to the water retention properties of Bacillus subtilis, especially after the initial 300 min. Moreover, with the increase of Bacillus subtilis content, the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate first decreased and then increased. When the Bacillus subtilis content was 3 g/kg, the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate of soil water tended to be the smallest in a certain time, and the variations between the treatments were significant (P<0.01). At the end of the infiltration, the cumulative infiltration with the Bacillus subtilis content of 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg was decreased by 18.49%, 21.85%, 12.18% and 3.78% respectively compared with that without Bacillus subtilis. With the applying of Bacillus subtilis, the wetting front decreased as well. At the initial time, there were no significant differences between different treatments. With the infiltration time increasing, the effect of Bacillus subtilis on wetting front in each treatment was significant (P<0.01). The wetting front took 3 700, 7 260, 7 700, 5 100 and 4 320 min to reached the bottom of the soil column with Bacillus subtilis content of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg, respectively, and the migration rates were 7.84×10-3, 4.00×10-3, 3.77×10-3, 5.69×10-3, and 6.71×10-3 cm/min, accordingly. When the content was 3 g/kg, the migration rate of wetting front was the smallest. Both Philip and Green-Ampt model could fit soil infiltration process well with different Bacillus subtilis contents. For Green-Ampt infiltration model, with the increase of Bacillus subtilis contents, soil water saturated hydraulic conductivity first decreased and then increased, and the wetting front suction showed an opposite trend compared with control treatment (P<0.05). For the Philip infiltration model, with the increase of Bacillus subtilis contents, the soil sorptivity and stable infiltration rate first decreased and then increased, which were obviously less than that without Bacillus subtilis (P<0.05). When the Bacillus subtilis was 3 g/kg, the minimum values of soil sorptivity, soil water saturated hydraulic conductivity and stable infiltration rate were obtained, and the maximum value of wetting front suction was obtained, which further confirmed that Bacillus subtilis could increase soil water holding capacity. When the Bacillus subtilis contents were 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg, the water contents were greater than that in control. At the depth of 27 cm, the water content in the treatments with Bacillus subtilis of 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg increased by 17.65%, 31.76%, 11.76% and 7.06% respectively, compared with that in control. Soil salt contents were also significantly decreased with the application of Bacillus subtilis. The salt content in the treatments with Bacillus subtilis of 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg decreased by 22.37%, 31.29%, 17.78% and 10.67% respectively, compared to that in control. After applying Bacillus subtilis, soil water-stable aggregate also increased. In the whole soil layer, the water-stable aggregates in the treatment with Bacillus subtilis of 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/kg were greater than those in control, and increased by 13.02%, 17.59%, 9.68% and 5.24%, respectively. This study can provide a theoretical support for the microorganism application in saline-alkali soil amendment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based method has been developed for multi-determination of 18 polychlorinated biphenyls (including 7 indicator PCBs, and 12 coplanar PCBs) in the meat, head, shell and egg of Macrobrachium nipponense. 20 g homogenized samples are extracted by the mixture solution of V (dichloromethane) : V (hexane) = (1 : 1). Then concentrated sulfuric acid is used for the digestion of organic matter. Thereafter, the extracts are cleaned up through SPE florisil column and make it ready for analysis. GC-MS/MS technique was used for the analysis. In terms of the GC part, column HP-5 (30 m × 0.32 mm, 0.32 μm) is used for the separation of 18 PCBs through temperature programming. For the tandem mass spectrometry condition, multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) model with positive electron impact ion source (EI+) is chosen for the qualification and quantification. The results reveal that in the spiked levels of 50, 400 and 1 000 ng/kg, the average recoveries ranged from 72% to 109% for all the 18 PCBs in each part of M. nipponense. The relative standard deviations is below 10%, the limits of detection of this method is 0.10-10 ng/kg. This method has good precision and accuracy. The pretreatment method is simple and fast. Thus this method can be used in the determination of the above mentioned 18 PCBs in M. nipponense. Testing of the actual samples from a farm in Nanjing, only some PCBs is checked out.

High weathered soils in arid and semi-arid area are characterized by low soil fertility and high erosion potential. This paper evaluated the influences of nano-carbon on soil erosion and water loss on the sloping land (15°) of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Simulated rainfall experiments were performed on a natural, fallow loessial slope in the Shenmu Erosion and Environment Research Station, Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which locates in the Liudaogou watershed, Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province. Five application rates (i.e., 0, 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 1.0%) of nano-carbon were selected during the simulated rainfall experiments (rainfall intensity of 60 mm/h); and 4 vegetation species (i.e., caragana, alfafa, bean, and maize) were planted on the slope to evaluate the vegetation effect on soil and water conservation with the bare as the control. A constant-intensity rainfall method was adopted under natural conditions. Field plots were established on the slope that had been fallow for 5 years. The rainfall simulator came from the independent design of Xi'an University of Technology. Under the 60 mm/h rainfall intensity, the simulated rainfall experiments were carried out for 50 times in the 25 different pretreated plots in order to estimate soil erosion and water loss for all the treatments. The main results were as follows: the initial runoff time was delayed with the increase of nano-carbon contents. Compared to the control treatment without nano-carbon application in bare land, the initial runoff time in alfalfa plot was delayed by 287.1%, which was the most obvious. Furthermore, with the increase of nano-carbon contents, the runoff in each treatment decreased obviously. The nano-carbon alfalfa coverage also had the most obvious effect in the reducing runoff, and the runoff was reduced by 66.47%; for other vegetation species, the reduction was between 31.5% and 33.6%. Moreover, the nano-carbon had a significant effect on soil loss controlling. The nano-carbon in alfalfa land showed the best effect for soil loss controlling, which was followed by caragana. Soybean land showed the highest soil loss. For the bare land (control) and alfalfa coverage, when the nano-carbon content was 1%, the lowest sediment yield was obtained; while for caragana, soybean and maize coverage, when the nano-carbon content was 0.5%, the sediment yield was the lowest. Based on the correlation analysis between nano-carbon and runoff and sediment yield, it could be concluded that nano-carbon has a significant impact on the experimental results. In the evaluation of soil and water loss control effect, the 0.5% nano-carbon had the obvious effect, which was similar with the 0.7% and 1.0% nano-carbon content, so considering the price, 0.5% nano-carbon content was appropriate on soil and water loss control in loess area. The results provide a guide for controlling soil water and nutrient loss on the sloping land. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fate of carbendazim residue during the beer brewing process was determined by the high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The simultaneous determination of carbendazim in different samples (barley, malt, spent grain, agreement wort, finalize wort and beer) were developed. For barley, malt and spent grain samples, the QuEChERS method was used for the pretreatment. 6 g MgSO4 and 1.5 g NaAc were used for the extraction, and 150 mg of MgSO4, 50 mg C18 and 50 mg PSA were used for the purification. Agreement wort, finalize wort and beer samples were directly diluted with deionized water and then purified with C18 solid phase extraction column. The main results are presented as followed: The mean recoveries varied from 72% to 99% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) was less than 9%. The limit of quantitation was 0.01 mg/kg. The residues of carbendazim is 1.99 mg/kg in barley, 2.71 mg/kg in malt, 0.41 mg/kg in spent grain, 1.37 mg/kg in agreement wort, 1.34 mg/kg in finalize wort and 0.12 mg/kg in beer. During saccharification, boiling and fermentation processes, the residue of carbendazim has been reduced with the processing factor 0.51, 0.98 and 0.089, respectively. The removal efficiency of fermentation was the highest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
