A new test method is described for biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion of concrete, more specifically in sewer con-ditions.The aim of the new test method is the development of an accelerated and reproducible procedure formonitoring the resistance of different types of concrete with regard to biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion. This exper-imentalprocedure reflects worst case conditions by providing besides H2S, also an enrichment of thiobacilli andbiologically produced sulfur. By simulating the cyclic processes occurring in sewer pipes, significant differencesbetween concrete mixtures could be detected after 51 days. Concrete modified by a styrene-acrylic ester polymerdemonstrated a higher resistance against biogenic sulfuric acid attack. 相似文献

In general, microorganisms such as chemolithotrophic and chemo‐organotrophic bacteria, cyanohacteria, algae, fungi, and lichens living on and in stone material may be of importance in biodeterioration. These groups contribute substantially to the deterioration of mineral materials such as natural stone, concrete, ceramics, and glass. The attack on mineral materials may be either strongly or mildly aggressive or both. A strongly aggressive attack is caused by biogenic mineral or organic acids. A mildly aggressive attack results from hydrophilic slimes such as heteropolysaccharides and/or proteins (biofilm) and their ability to accumulate water and salts. Attack by exoenzymes seems to be unimportant. In recent years it has become possible to test the resistance of mineral materials to microbial attack by means of a biotest. Three simulation apparatuses were constructed; each allowed the incubation of test materials under microbiologically optimized conditions. Biodeterioration involving biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion, which under natural conditions needs eight times as long, was detectable within a few months. The results differed from those of purely chemical and/or physical tests of materials. Physical/chemical test methods are not sufficient to determine the resistance of materials to biological attack, because they do not include the interactions between microorganisms and their substrate, the mineral material. In the case of biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion, simulation experiments demonstrated differences in resistance of various concrete types, which ranged from I to 20% weight loss of test blocks within I year. With chemical testing only negligible differences in weight loss were noted. This was also the case with biogenic nitric acid corrosion. Thus, biotests assist in the selection of appropriate materials from many different ones. 相似文献

Microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC) in sewer systems has been a serious problem for a long time. A better understanding of the succession of microbial community members responsible for the production of sulfuric acid is essential for the efficient control of MICC. In this study, the succession of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) in the bacterial community on corroding concrete in a sewer system in situ was investigated over 1 year by culture-independent 16S rRNA gene-based molecular techniques. Results revealed that at least six phylotypes of SOB species were involved in the MICC process, and the predominant SOB species shifted in the following order: Thiothrix sp., Thiobacillus plumbophilus, Thiomonas intermedia, Halothiobacillus neapolitanus, Acidiphilium acidophilum, and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. A. thiooxidans, a hyperacidophilic SOB, was the most dominant (accounting for 70% of EUB338-mixed probe-hybridized cells) in the heavily corroded concrete after 1 year. This succession of SOB species could be dependent on the pH of the concrete surface as well as on trophic properties (e.g., autotrophic or mixotrophic) and on the ability of the SOB to utilize different sulfur compounds (e.g., H2S, S0, and S2O32−). In addition, diverse heterotrophic bacterial species (e.g., halo-tolerant, neutrophilic, and acidophilic bacteria) were associated with these SOB. The microbial succession of these microorganisms was involved in the colonization of the concrete and the production of sulfuric acid. Furthermore, the vertical distribution of microbial community members revealed that A. thiooxidans was the most dominant throughout the heavily corroded concrete (gypsum) layer and that A. thiooxidans was most abundant at the highest surface (1.5-mm) layer and decreased logarithmically with depth because of oxygen and H2S transport limitations. This suggested that the production of sulfuric acid by A. thiooxidans occurred mainly on the concrete surface and the sulfuric acid produced penetrated through the corroded concrete layer and reacted with the sound concrete below. 相似文献

The disposal of low-level radioactive waste containing isotopes such as strontium by immobilization in cement paste has become
common practice. However, the stability of cement paste in the environment may be impaired by sulfuric acid produced by sulfur-oxidizing
bacteria. Since biodegradation rates in the environment of most radioactive waste burial sites are too low to be measured,
determination of the degradation kinetics of cement paste is a difficult task. This study reports on the development of an
accelerated biodegradation system for cement pastes in which the cement paste is exposed to a continuous culture of the sulfur-oxidizing
bacterium Halothiobacillus
neapolitanus. This system facilitated detection of the biodegradation processes in cement paste after as short a time as 15 days. A comparison
of the durability of a cement paste blended with silica fume with that of unblended cement paste showed that the silica fume
induced an increase in the leaching of Ca+2 and Si and enhanced weight loss, indicating rapid deterioration in the structural integrity of the cement paste. The leaching
of Sr+2 from the silica fume amended cement paste was slightly reduced as compared with the non amended cement paste, indicating
an increase in immobilization of strontium. Nevertheless, our findings do not support the use of silica fume as a suitable
additive for immobilization of low-level radioactive waste. 相似文献

Microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC) is a costly, and ongoing problem affecting the infrastructure of water utilities worldwide. Traditionally MICC has been treated with chemicals and physical techniques that inhibit the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), preventing sulfuric acid formation and the consequent corrosion. However, these methods require continual dosing and monitoring to ensure process efficiency and prevent undue costs. This review focuses on recent research into two potential novel treatments for MICC: re-engineering the sewer sulfur cycle by removing sulfide using electrodes in microbial electrical systems as an alternative electron acceptor and; altering the microbial community using targeted bacteriophage biocontrol to reduce specific sulfide-producing bacteria. These novel treatments hold the potential to reduce water utilities reliance on continual chemical dosing providing a long-lasting treatment I believe necessitates further laboratory and field-trial investigation. 相似文献

Two different mechanisms were responsible for the disappearance of styrene in enrichment cultures: (i) a mixed population of microorganisms, capable of utilizing styrene as a sole carbon source, oxidized this substrate to phenylethanol and phenylacetic acid; (ii) the culture also mediated polymerization of the monomer to low-molecular-weight styrene oligomers. This chemical reaction probably occurred as the result of microbial degradation of butylcatechol, an antioxidant polymerization inhibitor present in commercial styrene. The resultant polymer material was subsequently metabolized. In soil incubation studies, 14CO2 evolution from applied [8-14C] styrene was used to estimate microbial degradation. Approximately 90 percent of the labeled carbon was evolved from a 0.2 percent addition, and about 75 percent was lost from the 0.5 percent application over a 16-week period. 相似文献

Biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion of concrete surfaces caused by thiobacilli was reproduced in simulation experiments. At 9 months after inoculation with thiobacilli, concrete blocks were severely corroded. The sulfur compounds hydrogen sulfide, thiosulfate, and methylmercaptan were tested for their corrosive action. With hydrogen sulfide, severe corrosion was noted. The flora was dominated by Thiobacillus thiooxidans. Thiosulfate led to medium corrosion and a dominance of Thiobacillus neapolitanus and Thiobacillus intermedius. Methylmercaptan resulted in negligible corrosion. A flora of heterotrophs and fungi grew on the blocks. This result implies that methylmercaptan cannot be degraded by thiobacilli. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00604.x Effect of the addition of silanated silica on the mechanical properties of microwave heat‐cured acrylic resin Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate fthe flexural strength and Vickers hardness of a microwave energy heat‐cured acrylic resin by adding different concentrations of silane surface‐treated nanoparticle silica. Methods: Acrylic resin specimens with dimensions of 65 × 10 × 2.5 mm were formed and divided into five experimental groups (n = 10) according to the silica concentration added to the acrylic resin mass (weight %) prior to polymerisation : G1, without silica; G2, 0.1% silica; G3, 0.5% silica; G4, 1.0% silica; and G5, 5.0% silica. The specimens were submitted to a three‐point flexural strength test and to the Vickers hardness test (HVN). The data obtained were statistically analysed by anova and the Tukey test (α = 0.05). Results: Regarding flexural strength, G5 differed from the other experimental groups (G1, G2, G3 and G4) presenting the lowest mean, while G4 presented a significantly higher mean, with the exception of group G3. Regarding Vickers hardness, a decrease in values was observed, in which G1 presented the highest hardness compared with the other experimental groups. Conclusion: Incorporating surface‐treated silica resulted in direct benefits in the flexural strength of the acrylic resin activated by microwave energy; however, similar results were not achieved for hardness. 相似文献

Different physical and chemical methods were used to detach the chlamydoconidia of Candida albicans from its mycelium. The action of concentrated H2SO4 acid for a 4-min period on cultures lysed both the mycelium and the outer but not the inner wall layer of the chlamydoconidia.The sulfuric acid procedure is recommended as the best method to obtain mycelium free chlamydoconidia because of its simplicity, rapidity and low cost. 相似文献

In phosphate buffer (pH = 7.0) containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an environmentally friendly system, enzymatic polymerization of phenol catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was efficiently performed. The obtained phenol polymer is partly soluble in common solvents, such as acetone, THF and DMF. IR analysis shows that the polymer is composed of phenylene and oxyphenylene units. The functionalization of the phenol polymer was performed by reacting with epoxy chloropropane and triethylene-tetramine following, and then insoluble aminated phenol polymer was obtained. The aminated phenol polymer was adopted as carrier to prepare a novel supported palladium catalyst (PP-N-Pd) for Heck reaction. PP-N-Pd shows high catalytic performance for Heck reactions of aryl iodides with acrylic acid or styrene and the yields of trans-products were higher than 90%. Under the optimized conditions, aryl bromides and activated aryl chloride also reacted with alkenes to give the yields of above 80%. XPS analysis indicates that the main coordination atom in PP-N-Pd is N and the chemical valence of palladium in PP-N-Pd is Pd2+. The novel supported catalyst also shows good recyclability for Heck reaction. 相似文献

Enzymatic oxidation of ferulic acid catalyzed by oxidases (laccase and peroxidase) was carried out. Ferulic acid was shown to be subjected to oxidative processes leading to the formation of oligomeric and polymeric structures. The polymer formation takes place due to the formation of CAr-CAr- and CAr-O-CAr-bonds, as well as due to reactions of opening of the propane chain double bond. Different dynamic conditions of the enzymatic reactions were used to study the effects of conditions on the biosynthesis in vitro of some dehydropolymers: the method of dropwise mixing (endwise polymers) and a single addition (bulk polymers). The chemical structures of the resulting compounds were examined by the methods of IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Differences in the quantitative ratio of structural fragments in a polymer cause changes in its thermal characteristics. 相似文献

A novel carboxymethylchitosan-g-poly(acrylic acid) (CMCTS-g-PAA) superabsorbent polymer was prepared through graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto the chain of carboxymethylchitosan and subsequent crosslinking. It was demonstrated by FTIR spectroscopy that acrylic acid had been graft polymerized with carboxymethylchitosan. The thermal stability of the polymer was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis. By studying the swelling ratio of the polymer synthesized under different conditions, optimization conditions were found for a polymer with the highest swelling ratio. The rate of water absorption of the polymer was high, and the swelling of the polymer fitted the process of first dynamics. The swelling ratio of the polymer was pH-dependent. 相似文献

Some concrete and reinforced concrete structures are found to suffer from rapid corrosion, which reduces their life. Reduction of concrete strength characteristics, decline in pH, and changes in the chemical composition of concrete were related to the development of an association of heterotrophic and auto‐trophic bacteria, which transformed carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen compounds. The mechanism of concrete biocorrosion at high pH values is based on the degradation of hydrosilicates with the subsequent dissolution of the resultant amorphous silica and on the production of calcite. 相似文献

Soil often becomes contaminated with a variety of chemicals due to leakage of under/aboveground chemical storage tanks, improper discharge of waste, or improper design of waste containment facilities. Contaminated soil water can influence the soil's behavior seriously. Mineralogical alterations play a vital role in such circumstances. This paper describes the impact of varying concentrations of sulfuric acid solutions on the swell behavior of expansive soil containing predominantly montmorillonite. Using the conventional oedometer tests, the swell behavior of soil compacted with water inundated with acid solutions was studied. The soil swell, which is about 2% in water, increases to about 9% with 1N and to 50% with 4N acid solutions. The induced swell in acid solutions is attributable to mineralogical changes. The formation of new minerals and their associated fabric changes are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis of X-ray on soil samples treated with sulfuric acid. While minerals like gypsum and kornelite are formed in the presence of 1N sulfuric acid, aluminite and chloritoid are formed in the presence of 4N sulfuric acid. These types of alterations are known to occur in iron sulfate minerals and are also found on Mars. The mechanism of mineralogical alterations is presented. 相似文献

The production and application of compost potentially contaminate the environment with heavy metals. The heavy metal contents of composts must be exactly determined. Therefore, this study aims to understand the heavy metal contents in composts, using different digestion methods and to recommend the most appropriate digestion method making this measurement. Nine composts from different sources, including swine manure, poultry litter, food waste, municipal sewage sludge, soybean meal, wood residues, flesh-bone dust, fish-bone meal and guano, were selected to be digested by four methods to determine the contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn by AAS. The four digestion methods were nitric acid, dry ashing, nitric-perchloric acid and sulfuric acid methods. Analytical results indicated that the nitric acid procedure was the most efficient for recovering Cd, Mn and Ni from most compost samples. The sulfuric acid procedure yielded the lowest recovery of Pb from the certified reference material (BCR 146) and the compost samples, especially from the composts with high pH and EC values potentially high in Ca. The nitric acid procedure was recommended as the method for digesting the composts herein, based on recovery analysis, cost and time taken. Dry ashing was recommended as a flexible method. Nitric-perchloric acid procedure was not recommended because perchloric acid is potentially hazardous during digestion and it recovers relatively little heavy metal. 相似文献
