Simultaneous photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)and oxidation of phenol over monoclinic BiVO 4under visible light irradiationBaoping Xie a ,Hanxia Zhang a ,Peixiang Cai a ,Rongliang Qiu b ,Ya Xiong a,*a School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering,Zhongshan University,Guangzhou 510275,PR China bSchool of Environmental Science and Engineering,Zhongshan University,Guangzhou 510275,PR ChinaReceived 31March 2005;received in revised form 25August 2005;accepted 29August 2005Available online 16November 2005AbstractBiVO 4powder with monoclinic structure was prepared and used as a visible-light catalyst simultaneously for the photooxidation of phenol and the photoreduction of Cr(VI).The photocatalytic efficiency was found to be rather low for either single phenol solution or single Cr(VI)solution.However,the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)and photocatalytic oxidation of phenol proceed more rapidly for the coexistence system of phenol and Cr(VI)than for the single process,showing synergetic effect between the oxidation and reduction reactions.For the simultaneous pho-tocatalytic reduction–oxidation process,the first-order kinetic constant of phenol degradation was 0.0314min À1,being about six times higher than that for the photocatalytic process of single phenol.This result reveals the feasibility of using Cr(VI)as the electron scavenger of m BiVO 4-mediated photocatalytic process of phenol degradation,and gives us an enlightenment to employ other semiconductor with a better visible light response but with a more positive band edge to efficiently degrade organic pollutants.This is the first report for simultaneous photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)and removal of phenol under visible light irradiation using photocatalyst m BiVO 4.Ó2005Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords:Photocatalysis;Visible light;BiVO 4;Cr(VI);Phenol1.IntroductionThe increased pollution of water and air by industrial wastes demands the application of modern pollution control technologies.The semiconductor photocatalytic degradation of harmful substrates is a comparativelynew method for the removal of pollutants from water (Legrini et al.,1993;Hoffmann et al.,1995).This photo-catalytic method is based on the reactive properties of electron–hole pairs generated in the semiconductor par-ticles under illumination with light of energy greater than the semiconductor bandgap.TiO 2has universally been recognized as one of the better photocatalysts in heterogeneous photocatalysis (Choi et al.,2000;Lee and Choi,2002).However,the driving of TiO 2-based photocatalytic processes need costly UV light and its practical application is limited as well (Yu et al.,1997;0045-6535/$-see front matter Ó2005Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2005.08.064*Corresponding author.Tel.:+862084115556;fax:+862084112245.E-mail address:cesxya@ (Y.Xiong).Chemosphere 63(2006)956–963/locate/chemosphereRay and Beenackes,1998).Therefore,recently much attention has been paid to develop visible light response catalysts(Zou et al.,2001;Oshikiri et al.,2002).The motivation of these developments mainly stems from the utilization of the cheap solar energy.Monoclinic BiVO4(for short,m BiVO4)is one of these investigated visible-light catalysts.It possesses a bandgap of2.3–2.4eV,which is smaller than that of the TiO2photocatalyst(3.2eV)and shows well absorp-tion for visible light.However,most of researches for m BiVO4have been directed towards the ability of split-ting water into O2,only a few studies are associated with the removal of organic contaminants(Kudo et al.,1999; Tokunaga et al.,2001;Kohtani et al.,2002,2003).This is because,although m BiVO4possesses a valence band edge(ca.+2.4V vs.NHE)with a high oxidation activity for organic pollutants under visible light,its conduction band edge is located at ca.0V vs.NHE(pH0),thus,its photogenerated electrons cannot easily be captured by O2in air.Therefore,it is necessary tofind a suitable elec-tron scavenger with a higher redox potential in order to facilitate the m BiVO4-driven photooxidation of organic pollutants.Chromium(VI)is a frequent contaminant in waste-waters arising from industrial processes such as electro-plating,leather tanning and paint making.Its removal from wastewaters is of crucial importance because it is harmful to biological systems and can easily get into the food chains.One of the most preferred methods to treat Cr(VI)in water is the transformation to the less noxious Cr(III).Furthermore,Cr(III)can be precipi-tated in neutral or alkaline solutions as Cr(OH)3and removed as a solid waste.Thus,the conventional meth-ods of Cr(VI)elimination from aqueous phase are based on the reduction to the trivalent state by reaction with strong reducing agent at acid pH,followed by Cr(III) hydroxide formation in alkaline medium.However, among other problems,this method is not suitable for the elimination of dilute Cr(VI)solutions and requires expensive use of chemicals(Khalil et al.,1998).Consid-ering that the redox potential of Cr(VI)is+1.33V vs. NHE(pH0)for acidic condition(Ku and Jung,2001), higher than the conduction band potential of m BiVO4, it is thermodynamically possible that Cr(VI)will capture photoexcited conduction band electrons of semiconduc-tor and will be reduced to Cr(III).This possibility stim-ulated us to use Cr(VI)as the photogenerated electron scavenger in the process of m BiVO4-driven photocata-lytic oxidation of organic pollutants.Moreover,it is expected that Cr(VI)as an electron scavenger not only can increase the photocatalytic efficiency of organic pol-lution oxidation but also Cr(VI)can be reduced to the less toxic Cr(III).Phenol and its derivatives are widely used as raw materials in many petrochemical,chemical and pharma-ceutical industries.At present,the importance of phenol is proved by its ever-increasing production that reached 1900million kg in1995in the USA alone(Fortuny et al.,1998).Wastewaters that may contain many phe-nolic compounds from the industries mentioned above are highly toxic to most aquatic life.Therefore,the removal of phenol from wastewater is of environmental interest.In the present contribution,we will address the enhancement issue on the photocatalytic activity of m BiVO4towards the degradation of phenol by employ-ing Cr(VI)as both a photogenerated electron scavenger of m BiVO4and an inorganic pollutant.Aside from fun-damental considerations,the main incentive for the con-tribution is to approach the feasibility of applying the semiconductor with a higher conduction band edge to wastewater treatment using m BiVO4as an example, and at the same time,to investigate the efficiency of simultaneous photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)and oxidation of organic pollutant over m BiVO4under visi-ble light irradiation.2.Experimental section2.1.MaterialAnalytical grade K2Cr2O7was used to prepare Cr(VI)solution.HNO3or NaOH was used to set the correct pH value.Phenol was prepared by dissolving the solids in deionized water.Phenol and all other chem-icals used were of analytical reagent grade.2.2.Preparation and characterization of mBiVO4The m BiVO4powder was prepared using a reported aqueous process(Kohtani et al.,2002).Aqueous Bi(NO3)3Æ5H2O(0.4M)and NH4VO3(0.4M)solutions containing HNO3were prepared separately.After these two100ml solutions mixed with a Bi:V=1:1stoichiom-etric ratio,7.5g of urea was added.The mixed solution was then stirred magnetically at363K for6h.Thefinal products werefiltrated to obtain solid matter,and then sintered15min in an oven at450°C.The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by sev-eral instrumental analysis techniques.BET surface area measurement was carried out by N2adsorption at 77K using an ASAP2010volumetric adsorption ana-lyzer(Micromeritics Instrument Corp.,USA).X-ray dif-fraction(XRD)was obtained using D/Max-IIIA Diffratometer(Rigaku Corporation,Japan)with Radia-tion of Cu target(K/1,k=1.54056nm).Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)was performed on gold-coated samples using a JSM-6330F-mode Field Emis-sion Scanning Electron Microscope(JEOL,Japan). Diffuse reflectance spectrum was recorded with a UV-PC3101PC spectrophotometer(SHIMASZU,Japan)B.Xie et al./Chemosphere63(2006)956–963957with an integrating sphere(Specular Reflectance ATT.5-DEG)and BaSO4as a white standard.2.3.Experimental procedurePhotocatalytic irradiations were carried out in a 60ml cylindrical reactor,irradiated from the side, using a middle-pressure Xenon arc lamp(XHA150 W)equipped with a cut-offglassfilter transmitting k>400nm and a water jacket to remove infrared light. Air or nitrogenflow was employed in all cases to pro-duce a homogenous suspension of the catalysts in the solution.For all photocatalytic runs,a fresh solution (40ml)containing0.1mM K2Cr2O7or/and0.1mM phenol was adjusted to the desired pH,and the catalyst was suspended at1g lÀ1concentration.Prior to irradia-tion,suspensions were ultrasonicated for10min and magnetically stirred for20min in the dark at room tem-perature to ensure substrate-surface equilibration.Adsorption tests were performed in a shaker at25°C for2h.Photocatalyst(0.2g)was added into a200ml solution containing Cr(VI)or/and phenol.After2h in dark,phenol and Cr(VI)concentrations in the aqueous phase were measured.2.4.Analytical methodsAfter the run,the samples were separated from m BiVO4by centrifugation and furtherfiltered through a Millipore Millex250.45l m membranefilter.The Cr(VI)concentration in the resulting solution was deter-mined colorimetrically at540nm using diphenylcarbaz-ide as color agent(Editorial Board of Environment Protection Bureau of China,2002).Phenol concentra-tion was determined colorimetrically at510nm using 4-aminoantipyrine as color agent.Total organic carbon (TOC)was determined using a TOC-V CSH analyzer (SHIMASZU,Japan).The generation ofÅOH was determined using a recently reported method(Liu et al.,2004).A40ml aqueous solution of benzene and m BiVO4was mixed thoroughly and transferred into the cylindrical reactor. The concentration of benzene was1mM in the solution and the catalyst was suspended at1g lÀ1concentration. Different amounts of H2O2were added into the aqueous solution.Then the aqueous solution was irradiated for 30min using the same Xenon arc lamp.The control experiments without m BiVO4and in dark were carried out in parallel.After the run,the samples were separated from m BiVO4and the phenol concentrations were ana-lyzed.According to Liu et al.Õs report,ÅOH-mediated oxidation of benzene forms phenol with nearly100% yield and the phenol concentration represented the con-centration ofÅOH photoproduction.The point of zero charge of m BiVO4was determined by mass titration(Subramanian et al.,1988).Various amounts of m BiVO4powder were added to40ml fresh water and the resulting pH values were measured after 24h of equilibration.The containers of m BiVO4/water were sealed and placed on a shaker for24h,which was found to be sufficient to allow for an equilibrium pH of the mix solution to be attained.3.Results and discussion3.1.Characterization of mBiVO4BiVO4mainly possesses three crystal forms,zircon structure with tetragonal system,scheelite structure with monoclinic and tetragonal systems(Kudo et al.,1999). Only m BiVO4shows well visible light response.To investigate the crystal structure of the prepared BiVO4 in our experiment,the XRD of the BiVO4was mea-sured.The prepared BiVO4is phase pure and shows an excellent match with the published JCPDS data (JCPDSfile no:14-688)for m BiVO4.It possesses a BET surface area of3.1m2gÀ1and an average grain size of about200–300nm,as presented in Fig.1.In contrast to TiO2,the m BiVO4shows obvious absorption in visi-ble light region up to about550nm according to the observed result of its diffuse reflection spectra.The bandgap of the compound is about2.3eV through esti-mated from the absorption edge,consistent with the reported value(Kudo et al.,1999;Tokunaga et al., 2001).3.2.Dark adsorption of phenol and Cr(VI)on mBiVO4 surfaceSince the photoassisted degradation occurs predomi-nantly on the photocatalyst surface,adsorption is an important process in affecting photocatalyticdegrada-Fig.1.SEM image for m BiVO4.958 B.Xie et al./Chemosphere63(2006)956–963tion rate,therefore the adsorption performance towards phenol and Cr(VI)from aqueous solution on m BiVO4 particles was investigated.Plots of the adsorption iso-therms of phenol and Cr(VI)on m BiVO4particles are illustrated in Fig.2.As can be seen from thisfigure, no obvious adsorption of phenol was observed on the m BiVO4surface.This result is consistent with the reported data(Kohtani et al.,2003).The adsorption iso-therms of Cr(VI)at pH1.5,4.0and7.0show a type of parabolic-shape.The parabolic shape of the isotherms means that there is no strong competition between the solvent and the adsorbate to occupy the adsorbent sur-face sites,according to Giles et alÕs view(Giles et al., 1974).The experimental data of the Cr(VI)adsorption on m BiVO4wasfitted with the Langmuir equation.Thefit-ted Langmuir adsorption constants of the Cr(VI) adsorption are4.0±0.3l gÀ1at pH1.5,2.3±0.2l gÀ1 at pH4.0and0.6±0.1l gÀ1at pH7.0.The Langmuir adsorption constant at pH1.5is about5.6times higher than that at pH7.0.This fact indicates that adsorption of Cr(VI)on m BiVO4was intensively dependent on pH of the solution and a lower pH value was beneficial to the adsorption.In the Cr(VI)–phenol mixture system, the similar result of the adsorption was observed,indi-cating that phenol did not interact with the adsorption of Cr(VI).The suitable charge distribution on m BiVO4could explain no adsorption of phenol and the effect of pH on the Cr(VI)adsorption.According to the result of mass titration,the point of zero charge of m BiVO4is at pH2.7.This denotes the m BiVO4surface is positively charged below pH2.7,which favored the adsorption ofCr(VI),i.e.Cr2O2À7,while the m BiVO4surface is nega-tively charged over pH 2.7,which unbenefited the adsorption of Cr(VI).For hydrophobic phenol,the sur-face of m BiVO4with charge prohibits its movement to it and consequently rejects the adsorption.3.3.Photocatalytic performs of mBiVO43.3.1.Photocatalytic oxidation for single substrate: phenolKohtani et al.(2003)investigated the photocatalytic oxidation of phenol using BiVO4under irradiation from the solar simulator in alkaline solution.In this section, m BiVO4was tested as a photocatalyst for photooxida-tion of phenol in acidic solution under visible light irra-diation.Fig.3shows the photocatalytic efficiency for phenol photooxidation with single substrates.As can be noticed from the curve A of thisfigure,phenol could be oxidized by m BiVO4-mediated photocatalytic process in air-saturated acidic solution without added electron scavengers.At the end of a3-h photocatalytic run,the degradation of phenol reached52.0%and TOC removal was8.8%.However,the reaction is still very slow from the viewpoint of practical application.Thisfigure also shows that phenol was degraded slightly using N2as theflowing gas(curve B)and implies that the photoox-idation scarcely occurred either in the absence of photo-catalyst or when the dispersion was purged with N2gas.The photocatalytic kinetics of many organic com-pounds has often been modeled to the Langmuir–Hin-shelwood equation.However,the initial concentration of phenol was very low and the adsorption of phenol on m BiVO4was not observed according to the result of the previous section.Therefore,Langmuir–Hinshel-wood equation in this experiment can simplify to the first-order reaction kinetics.Thisfirst-order kinetics was confirmed by the linear transforms,and a rather low rate constant,0.0045minÀ1(R=0.9951),was obtained byfitting the transformed equation with the experimental data in Fig.3,curve A.B.Xie et al./Chemosphere63(2006)956–963959For semiconductor photocatalysis,a frequently dis-cussed issue is the oxidative pathway,i.e.,direct holeattack or/andÅOH radical oxidation.Fig.4shows thephotoproduction ofÅOH in various experimental condi-tions.It can be seen from thisfigure that noÅOH wasproduced in dark or under visible light without the addi-tion of m BiVO4.Moreover,noÅOH was determinedthough the benzene solution with m BiVO4but withoutH2O2was irradiated under visible light.Only whenH2O2was added to the photocatalytic system,significant ÅOH was observed and the amount ofÅOH was increased along with the amount of H2O2.Thus we can confirmindirectly that the m BiVO4-mediated degradation ofphenol in the absence of H2O2was performed by thedirect hole attack,other than byÅOH radical oxidation.At the same time,based on the fact ofÅOH absence inthe phenol and m BiVO4system,it was suggested thatthe photogenerated electrons of m BiVO4were capturedby oxygen molecule not through route of Eq.(1),possi-ble through route of Eq.(2)O2þ2Hþþ2eÀ!2ÅOHð1ÞO2þ4Hþþ4eÀ!2H2Oð2Þ3.3.2.Photocatalytic reduction for single substrate:Cr(VI)Photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)on TiO2has been studied by several research groups(Schrank et al.,2002;Testa et al.,2004).Most of these reduc-tions were carried out under UV irradiation,rarely under visible light irradiation.Fig.5shows the visible light-driven catalytic reduction of Cr(VI)on m BiVO4 at different pH for60min run.As can be seen in this figure,Cr(VI)could be reduced very slowly without additional hole scavengers.And moreover this reduc-tion was considerably dependent on the pH.The reduc-tion rates of Cr(VI)increased with decreasing solution pH and the trend of change was more obvious at around pH2.7.For example,the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI)at pH1.5was12.1%including5.2%adsorp-tion for60min run while the reduction of Cr(VI)was not observed basically at pH7.0.In addition,we still tested the visible light-driven catalytic reduction of Cr(VI)using m BiVO4under an N2flow,the result shows that no significant reduction of Cr(VI)was occurred under any pH.Generally,the mechanism of photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction is well described by the capture of photo-excited conduction band electrons followed by the one-electron reduction reaction(Testa et al.,2001),and the final result of this reduction process can be simply pre-sented with Eq.(3)(Khalil et al.,1998):Cr2O2À7þ14Hþþ6eÀðconduction bandÞ!2Cr3þ7H2Oð3ÞAccording to this mechanism,in order to realize the photoreduction of Cr(VI),the conduction band of the semiconductor photocatalyst must be more negative than the reduction potential of Cr(VI)(Chen and Ray, 2001).Therefore,the energy level of the bottom of the conduction band is a measure of the reduction strength of the photogenerated electrons.Because the conduction band edge of m BiVO4is at ca.0V vs.NHE(pH0), according to the Nernstian Equation:E CBðVÞ¼0–0:059pHðat25 CÞð4Þthe positions of the conduction band of m BiVO4at pH 1.5and pH7.0are calculated to beÀ0.09V and À0.4V,respectively.The calculated result suggests the photocatalytic reduction seems to be favored at high pH.This calculation result contradicted the above experiment observation if only mBiVO4was consid-960 B.Xie et al./Chemosphere63(2006)956–963ered,however,the reduction potential of Cr(VI)also changed as pH.For example,the reduction potential of Cr(VI)is1.1V at pH1.5while it is only0.4V at pH7.0(Chen and Ray,2001).Thus,the difference of reduction potential,the driving force of the reduction reaction,between Cr(VI)and the conduction band of m BiVO4is 1.19V at pH 1.5and0.8V at pH7.0. Apparently,decreasing pH is still beneficial to Cr(VI) reduction.Besides,the obvious change of the reduction effi-ciency of Cr(VI)at about pH2.7might be associated with the surface charge of m BiVO4particles.According to the previous result,the m BiVO4surface is electro-positive below pH2.7,which favored the adsorption of Cr(VI),and the m BiVO4surface is electronegative over pH 2.7,which unfavored the adsorption of Cr(VI).Thus,surface charge of m BiVO4can partly be accounted for the decreasing of reduction efficiency of Cr(VI)on m BiVO4as the increasing of pH.In the viewpoint of the surface charge,the Cr(VI)reduction was suggested to be performed at pH<2.7.In this experiment,all the following run solutions were adopted to pH1.5.3.3.3.Photocatalytic reactions for Cr(VI)and phenol mixtureThe above experiments indicate that the m BiVO4-mediated photocatalytic degradation efficiency of single phenol in air-saturated was not satisfied since O2was not a suitable scavenger of photogenerated electrons for m BiVO4.In this section,Cr(VI)was chosen to serve as the electron scavenger to inhibit the recombination of electrons and holes.Curve A in Fig.6presents the dependence of photo-catalytic degradation efficiency of phenol on Cr(VI)con-centration at pH1.5.It can be seen that the efficiency rapidly increased with the increase of Cr(VI)concentra-tion,indicating a strong promoting effect of Cr(VI)to the degradation of phenol.For example,the addition of0.1mM Cr(VI)leaded to an2.3-time increase of the degradation efficiency for a60-min run,compared with that in the absence of Cr(VI).A kinetics constant k of 0.0314minÀ1(R=0.9832)towards phenol removal for a3-h run at this condition was also obtained by thefit of the data in Fig.7(A)using the kinetic equation of thefirst-order reaction.The kinetic constant was about six times higher than that with single phenol.Moreover, TOC determination showed the degradation extent of phenol was obviously increased also due to addition of Cr(VI).For example,the TOC removal efficiency of phenol–Cr(VI)system reached as high as59.0%for a 3-h run,being50.0%higher than that of single phenol. These increases of the degradation efficiency and extent confirmed that Cr(VI)is an efficient photogenerated electron scavenger for m BiVO4because no homoge-neous reaction between Cr(VI)and phenol was observed at this experimental condition as m BiVO4was not added.Theoretically,in this photoelectrochemical process the number of charges involved in the reduction by con-duction-band electrons and oxidation by valence-band holes must be equal,thus,one can expect that the pro-moting effect is mutual,i.e.,the presence of phenol also should enhance the photocatalytic degradation of Cr(VI).It can be seen from curve B in Fig.6that the promoting effect was directly proportional to the phenol concentration.At pH1.5,0.4mM phenol speeded up the rate of the reaction more efficiently than0.1mM phenol did.When the concentration of phenol was more than0.4mM,the Cr(VI)could be reduced almost com-pletely by photocatalytic process under visible light irra-diation within60min of reaction time while only about 13.0%reduction was reached in the absence of phenol as hole scavenge.This mutual promoting effect provides an important support using m BiVO4as a visible-light cata-lyst for efficient simultaneous removal of phenol and Cr(VI)by photocatalytic oxidation and reduction, respectively,in the same system.The selection of airflow agitation aroused an issue about other effect of air except for speeding mass trans-ferring,because the influence of dissolved oxygen on the photocatalytic reduction rate of Cr(VI)on TiO2is con-troversial at present(Chen and Ray,2001).In order to response this question,a comparative investigation of simultaneous photodegradation of Cr(VI)and phenol in the presence of either air or nitrogenflow was performed.Fig.7also gives the photocatalytic efficiencies for degradation of phenol and reduction of Cr(VI)using m BiVO4in the presence of air or N2.It can be pointed out that the photocatalytic efficiencies for degradation of phenol and reduction of Cr(VI)were about100%in the presence of N2at the end of the experiment,similarB.Xie et al./Chemosphere63(2006)956–963961to those obtained in airflow.These results seemed to be different from that in the above single photocatalytic oxidation of phenol or single photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI).This discrepancy can be interpreted as fol-lows:Cr(VI)has high reduction driving force for acidic conditions compared with O2,thus,the reduction of Cr(VI)dominated the scavenge of the photogenerated electrons while the effect of the dissolved oxygen on the scavenge is negligible in the coexistence system of Cr(VI)and air.In other words,the airflow,similar to N2flow,only plays a role in speeding mass transferring.4.ConclusionsBiVO4powder with monoclinic structure was employed as a visible-light catalyst for the simultaneous removal of phenol and Cr(VI).Although the photocata-lytic efficiency was found to be rather low for either sin-gle phenol solution or single Cr(VI)solution,the considerable enhancement of the photocatalytic effi-ciency was observed for Cr(VI)–phenol mixture solu-tion.This enhancement effect can be attributed to a mutual promoting effect of simultaneous photocatalytic phenol oxidation and Cr(VI)reduction.This result not only reveals the feasibility of using Cr(VI)as the electron scavenger of m BiVO4-mediated photocatalytic process, but also gives us an enlightenment to employ other semi-conductor with a better visible light response but with a more positive band edge to efficiently degrade organic pollutants and to directly apply sunlight to photocata-lytic decontamination for actual wastewater containing organic and inorganic species.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by NSF of China (20277046and29977030),NSF(04009713)of Guang-dong Province and Foundation of the Education Minis-try for the Returned Scholar from Abroad(4105483).

光异构反应释放氧离子英文回答:Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a process that involves the use of a photocatalyst to initiate a chemical reaction under light irradiation. This process is widely used in various applications, including environmental remediation, energy conversion, and organic synthesis. One of the key features of heterogeneous photocatalysis is the release of oxygen ions during the reaction.The release of oxygen ions in heterogeneous photocatalysis is primarily attributed to the oxidation of water molecules. In the presence of a suitable photocatalyst, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), water molecules can be split into oxygen ions (O2-) and hydrogen ions (H+). This process is known as water oxidation and is a crucial step in the overall reaction.To illustrate this process, let's consider thephotocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water using TiO2 as the photocatalyst. When TiO2 is exposed to light, it absorbs photons and generates electron-hole pairs. The photogenerated holes (h+) on the surface of TiO2 can react with water molecules, leading to the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) and oxygen ions (O2-):TiO2 + h+ + H2O → TiO2 + OH• + O2-。
光催化降解染料英文Title: Photocatalytic degradation of dyes: An effective approach for wastewater treatmentAbstract:The textile industry is one of the world's largest contributors to water pollution due to its extensive use of dyes. These dyes not only pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems but also have adverse effects on human health. Traditional wastewater treatment methods are often ineffective in removing dyes from wastewater, leading to their persistence in the environment. In recent years, researchers have turned their attention towards photocatalytic degradation as a promising approach for the efficient removal of dyes. This review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the principles, mechanisms, and applications of photocatalytic degradation in the treatment of dye-containing wastewater. The efficiency of different photocatalysts, the influence of key parameters, and the challenges related to scaling up the process are discussed. Moreover, the potential use of advanced materials and emerging techniques are presented to further enhance the overall performance of photocatalysis in dye degradation. This review highlights the importance of photocatalytic degradation as an environmentally friendly and economically feasible method for wastewater treatment in the textile industry.1.

PRIMARY RESEARCH PAPERPhotochemical degradation of chromophoric-dissolved organic matter exposed to simulated UV-B and natural solar radiationYunlin Zhang ÆMingliang Liu ÆBoqiang Qin ÆSheng FengReceived:25August 2008/Revised:19January 2009/Accepted:24January 2009/Published online:13February 2009ÓSpringer Science+Business Media B.V.2009Abstract Photochemical degradation of chromo-phoric-dissolved organic matter (CDOM)by UV-B radiation decreases CDOM absorption in the UV region and fluorescence intensity,and alters CDOM composition.CDOM absorption,fluorescence,and the spectral slope indicating the CDOM composition were studied using 0.22-l m-filtered samples of Meiliang Bay water from Lake Taihu that were exposed to short-term (0–12h)simulated UV-B radiation and long-term (0–12days)natural solar radiation in summer.CDOM absorption coefficient and fluorescence decreased with increasing exposure time,which relates to the amounts of absorbed light energy.The decreases of CDOM absorption and normalized fluorescence corresponded to first order kinetics reactions.Different decreases of CDOM absorption and fluorescence at different wavelengths suggested that the composition of CDOM changed when it absorbed ultraviolet radiation.Photochemical degradation increased the spectral slope during 275–295nm region (S 275–295)but decreased the spectral slope during 275–295nm region (S 350–400).The slope ratio S R (S 275–295:S 350–400)increased in the photo-chemical process,which could be used as an indicator of photobleaching and composition change of CDOM.Our results show that photochemical degra-dation is important in the cycling of CDOM,which indicated change in the composition of CDOM.Keywords Absorption coefficient ÁFluorescence ÁPhotobleaching ÁSpectral slopeIntroductionChromophoric-dissolved organic matter (CDOM)is a colored fraction of DOM.Because its strongest absorption is within the ultraviolet (UV)light wave-lengths,CDOM affects aquatic ecosystems by restricting the penetration depth of UV-B radiation (280–320nm)that is harmful to living organisms (Morris &Hargreaves,1997;Laurion et al.,2000;Zhang et al.,2007a ).CDOM absorption also extends into the blue region of visible light and overlapsHandling editor:Luigi Naselli-FloresY.Zhang (&)ÁM.Liu ÁB.QinTaihu Lake Laboratory Ecosystem Research Station,State Key Laboratory of Lake Science and Environment,Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology,Chinese Academy of Sciences,73East Beijing Road,Nanjing 210008,People’s Republic of China e-mail:ylzhang@Y.ZhangCentre for Limnology,Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW),Rijksstraatweg 6,3631AC Nieuwersluis,Maarssen,The Netherlands S.FengInstitute of Urban Environment,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Xiamen 361003,ChinaHydrobiologia (2009)627:159–168DOI 10.1007/s10750-009-9722-zabsorption by chlorophyll a in phytoplankton and non-algal particulate matter.As a result,CDOM affects the primary productivity of water bodies and can confound remote sensing estimates of phyto-plankton biomass and total suspended matter concentration(Carder et al.,1991;Doxaran et al., 2002).Meanwhile,CDOM contains nitrogen and phosphorus,nutrients that are important in the physical,chemical,and biological processes of nutrient cycling,and in the development of algal blooms in aquatic ecosystems(Biers et al.,2007; Stedmon et al.,2007).Recent studies on CDOM cycling in aquatic ecosystems have identified the importance of photo-chemical reactions induced by the absorption of solar UV radiation.Sunlight energy absorbed by CDOM causes its photobleaching(decreased absorption coef-ficient),which subsequently increases penetration of UV radiation and thus magnifies the deleterious effects of UV radiation on aquatic ecosystems(Morris& Hargreaves,1997).Other phenomena that accompany in decrease absorbance are decrease offluorescence (Moran et al.,2000;Feng et al.,2006),reduction of CDOM average molecular weight(Lou&Xie,2006; Helms et al.,2008),hydrogen peroxide production (O’Sullivan et al.,2005),and release of carbon photoproducts(Gao&Zepp,1998;Xie et al.,2004; Zhang&Xie,2006;Johannessen et al.,2007), ammonium,nitrogen(Bushaw-Newton&Moran, 1999;Stedmon et al.,2007),and phosphorus(Va¨ha¨t-alo&Salonen,1996;Tranvik et al.,2000),many of which serve as biological substrates(Moran&Zepp, 1997;Obernosterer et al.,1999).Therefore,photo-chemical processes are important in CDOM cycling and affect water color.Most previous CDOM photo-chemistry studies were carried out in non-eutrophic waters.CDOM absorption coefficients increase approxi-mately exponentially with decreased wavelengths in the UV and visible wavelength regions(Bricaud et al., 1981).The spectral slope(S),which exponentiallyfits CDOM absorption to wavelength,often can be used as a proxy for the sources and types of CDOM,including the ratio of fulvic to humic acids,molecular weight, and the ratio of aquatic to terrestrial CDOM(Carder et al.,1989;Moran et al.,2000;Helms et al.,2008). The S value mostly does not depend on CDOM concentration,but does depend on thefitting method and wavelength interval(Stedmon et al.,2000;Twar-dowski et al.,2004).Previous studies showed that photochemical degradation altered the S value(Moran et al.,2000;Twardowski&Donaghay,2002);how-ever,published spectral slope values are contradictory due to use of different methods and spectral ranges. For example,Moran et al.(2000),Whitehead et al. (2000),Twardowski&Donaghay(2002),and Xie et al.(2004)reported that CDOM photobleaching by solar radiation increased S,because photobleaching shifted large molecular weight CDOM complexes that absorbed at longer wavelengths to smaller com-plexes that absorbed at shorter wavelengths.In contrast,some studies(Gao&Zepp,1998;Del Castillo et al.,1999;Stabenau et al.,2004)found that S decreased when CDOM was exposed to irradiation. Tzortziou et al.(2007)observed that solar exposure could either increase or decrease S depending on the spectral quality of irradiation.Helms et al.(2008) thought photochemical degradation increased S at275–295nm(S275–295),but decreased S at 350–400nm(S350–400),and recommended the spectral slope ratio S275–295:S350–400as a good proxy for CDOM molecular weight.Meanwhile,fluorescence especially three-dimensional excitation–emission matrix spectra(3DEEMs)developed recently were widely used to determine changes in CDOM compo-sition and molecular size during the photodegradation process(Moran et al.,2000;Wu et al.,2005;Clark et al.,2008).Wu et al.(2005)found a blue-shift in fluorescence maximum and that the humic-likefluo-rescence with excitation wavelength of320–400nm was preferentially photodegraded,which suggested a change in CDOM composition.At present,however,we know little about the susceptibility of CDOM to photodegradation,the effects of solar exposure on CDOM bacterial avail-ability,or the contribution of photoproducts to algal blooms in eutrophic lakes.In our study,0.22-l m-filtered water samples from Lake Taihu were exposed to short-term(0–12h)simulated UV-B radiation and long-term(0–12days)natural solar radiation in summer.Our goals are to:(i)investigate the effects of simulated UV-B radiation and natural solar radiation on CDOM absorption andfluorescence and(ii)discuss the alterations of spectral slope and CDOM composition by the photochemical degrada-tion process occurring in a eutrophic lake.Materials and methods CDOM degradation experimentsIn order to determine the degradation of CDOM exposed to simulated UV-B radiation,a surface water sample (0–0.5m)was collected using a plexiglass sampler (2.5l capacity)(Institute of Hydrobiology,Chinese Academy of Sciences)on May 22,2005from the inlet of the Liangxi River in Meiliang Bay,Lake Taihu,a large,shallow,eutrophic lake (Table 1).The water first was filtered through a 47-mm-diameter Whatman fiberglass GF/C filter and then refiltered through a 25-mm-diameter Millipore cellulose filter with 0.22-l m pores to remove the particles and bacteria and obtain a CDOM sample.This procedure removes more than 99.5%of bacteria,as determined by flow cytometry (Kitidis,2002).Clear glass 1-l beakers were soaked in 10%nitric acid for 24h and then rinsed many times with distilled water.The clean beakers with CDOM samples were covered by thin PVC film (0.008mm)to exclude dust and prevent evaporation and placed 5,15,25,35,and 45cm directly below the man-made UV-B radiation lamp (wavelength range:280–400nm,central wavelength:312nm,EB-180C,Spectronics,USA).The irradiance was measured using a SAM 8180scanning spectroradi-ometer (TriOS,Germany).The irradiation intensity of the central wavelength (312nm)25cm from the lamp was slightly below the value of natural sunlight on the water surface in Lake Taihu at noon on a clear day in summer (August 1,2006)but had much more UV-B \312nm than solar radiation (Fig.1).Absorbed energy for optically thin waters was calculated using the procedure of Osburn et al.(2001).Samples were irradiated for 0,2,4,6,8,10,and 12h before being analyzed for CDOM spectral absorption and fluorescence.Irradiation experiments under natural solar radia-tion were conducted from 8to 19August 2007.Before irradiation,a CDOM sample was obtainedusing the same procedure as above.The 6-l sample was divided into three aliquots (2l each)in clean beakers and then covered with thin PVC film (0.008mm).The PVC film does not absorb light in UV and visible wavelengths and the beaker side absorbs mainly short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (wavelength \340nm).The three beakers were placed outdoors in an unshaded area.Samples were collected each evening.Optical measurementsThe absorption spectra of the filtered water were measured between 240and 800nm at 1nm intervals using a Shimadzu UV-2401PC UV–Vis spectropho-tometer with 4-cm quartz li-Q water was used as the reference.The detection limit of the CDOM absorption coefficient of the spectrophotom-eter was 0.023m -1.The absorption coefficients of CDOM were obtained as follows (Bricaud et al.1981):a k 0ðÞ¼2:303D k ðÞ=r ;ð1Þwhere a CDOM (k 0)was the uncorrected CDOM absorp-tion coefficient at wavelength k ,D (k )was the opticalTable 1Basic characteristics of Lake

cor-rected by subtracting the absorbance value averaged over a5nm interval around685nm from all the spectral values as in Babin et al.(2003).The spectral range around685nm was chosen because of negli-gible CDOM absorption and a very small temperature effect on absorption in water(Babin et al.,2003).For samples in the simulated UV-B radiation experiment,fluorescence at afixed excitation wave-length(355nm)was measured using a1-cm quartz cell in a Shimadzu5301spectrofluorometer from380 to600nm with a Milli-Q water blank.The slit-widths were set at5nm for excitation and emission wave-lengths.For samples in the natural solar radiation experiment,fluorescence at twofixed excitation wavelengths(355and280nm)was measured using a1-cm quartz cell in a Shimadzu5301spectrofluo-rometer from380to600nm with a Milli-Q water blank.The‘‘humic-like’’fluorescence was recorded (hereafter F n(355))with an excitation wavelength of 355and an emission peak of450(Vodacek et al., 1997;Vignudelli et al.,2004).The‘‘protein-like’’fluorescence was recorded(hereafter F n(280))with an excitation wavelength of280and an emission peak of350(Vignudelli et al.,2004).Fluorescence intensity was calibrated in quinine sulfate units (QSU),where1QSU is the maximumfluorescence intensity of0.01mg l-1of quinine(qs)in1N H2SO4 near the position of excitation wavelength(Ex;nm)/ emission wavelength(Em;nm)=355/450. Calculation of CDOM exponential spectral slope Exponential spectral slopes were calculated from the absorption spectra between275and295nm(S275–295) and350and400nm(S350–400)by the non-linear regression(Matlab software)using the following equation as in Stedmon et al.(2000):a kðÞ¼a k0ðÞexp S k0ÀkðÞ½ ;ð2Þwhere a(k)and a(k0)were the absorption coefficients at wavelengths k and k0,respectively,and S was the exponential spectral slope.The spectral slope ratio (S R)was defined as the ratio of the spectral slopes of the shorter(275–295nm)to the longer(350–400nm) wavelength ranges(Helms et al.,2008). Statistical analysisStatistical analyses were performed with the statisti-cal package SPSS11.0for Windows.To test whether observed differences in CDOM absorption,fluores-cence,the spectral slope,and S R among treatments were significant,analysis of variance(ANOVA)was used.ResultsSimulated UV-B radiation experimentThe CDOM absorption coefficient a(280)and nor-malized‘‘humic-like’’fluorescence F n(355)decreased with increasing UV-B radiation exposure time (Fig.2).Exposure of CDOM to simulated UV-B radiation resulted in significantly reduced absorption in UV wavelength and‘‘humic-like’’fluorescence intensity(Fig.2).The greatest reductions in CDOM absorption were recorded at5cm from the UV-B radiation lamp and ranged from7.8to18.6%of the original a(280)value,depending on the exposure duration from2to12h.Correspondingly,F n(355) values decreased from15.0to46.0%of theoriginalvalue,which were significantly higher than those ofa (280),suggesting that fluorescence-dissolved organic matter (FDOM)is more easily degraded by UV-B radiation.Photochemical degradation was reduced at greater distances from the lamp;CDOM absorption a (280)and fluorescence F n (355)decreased by only 2.2–4.5%and 3.4–7.9%at 45cm,depending on the length of exposure.The relative changes in absorption were not equally distributed throughout the whole UV spec-trum.To determine what wavelength ranges of the absorbance spectra were most affected by UV-B radiation,absorbance loss as a function of wave-length was calculated by subtracting ‘‘irradiated’’spectra from the initial spectra and then dividing ‘‘subtracted’’spectra by the initial spectra to give the percentages (Fig.3a).The maximum absorbance loss occurred between 260and 280nm (around 273nm),which was shifted slightly toward shorter wave-lengths compared with the maximum irradiance (around 295nm)absorbed in the surface 1cm by CDOM from the simulated UV-B radiation lamp (Fig.3b).Thus,the chromophoric parts of DOM were selectively altered or degraded during irradiation.A first-order kinetics equation was used to model the decreases of a (280)and F n (355).The first-order rate constants (K constant ),the determination coeffi-cients,and the significance levels are shown in Table 2.Significant first-order kinetics correlations were recorded for all five different distances (P \0.05).Higher kinetic constants reflect more rapid decreases in a (280)and F n (355).The closer the samples were to the lamp,the higher the kinetics constants were indicating more absorption of UV-B radiation and more decreases in CDOM absorption and fluorescence intensity.Furthermore,the kinetic con-stants of F n (355)were higher than those of a (280),which also confirmed that FDOM losses exceeded CDOM losses during photobleaching.Natural solar radiation experimentThe 12-day exposure to natural solar radiation resulted in significant decreases in CDOM absorption a (355)and a (280)of 29.8and 20.8%(ANOVA analysis,P \0.001),respectively (Fig.4).The larger absolute absorption losses were recorded attheTable 2Kinetic parameters of photochemical degradation experiments ItemK constanta r 2PSimulated UV-B radiation experiment a (280)5cm 0.01580.90\0.00115cm 0.01190.87\0.00525cm 0.00680.74\0.0535cm 0.00510.77\0.0145cm 0.00320.90\0.001F n (355)5cm 0.05290.96\0.00115cm 0.03900.96\0.00125cm 0.02310.95\0.00135cm 0.01260.92\0.00145cm 0.00640.90\0.001Natural solar radiation experimenta (280)0.01800.83\0.001a (355)0.02410.87\0.001F n (280)0.04580.52\0.005F n (355)0.06900.62\0.001F n (280)(0–5day)0.17000.98\0.001F n (355)(0–5day)0.22310.96\0.001aThe units of K constant are per hour and per day in the simulated UV-B and natural radiation experiments,respectivelyshorter wavelengths(Fig.5);however,a greater proportional loss of absorption at the longer UV wavelengths was observed in natural radiation,which is different from what was observed in simulated UV-B radiation.Table2shows that thefirst-order rate constant(0.0241per day)of a(355)was also larger than that(0.0180per day)of a(280).In the natural radiation experiment,F n(355)and F n(280)decreased rapidly during thefirst5days, indicating that FDOM was bleached rapidly by solar radiation.From the6th day to the end of the experiment,F n(355)and F n(280)generally were steady and had no significant variations(ANOVA analysis,P[0.05).First-order kinetics used to model decreases of F n(355)and F n(280)had very low determination coefficients for all12days,but relatively high values for thefirst5days(Table2). The‘‘humic-like’’fluorescence was more easily degraded by solar radiation than was the‘‘protein-like’’fluorescence(Fig.4and Table2).For example, in thefirst5days,F n(355)and F n(280)decreased 69.5and59.8%,respectively.Changes in spectral slopeOur experiments showed that photochemical degra-dation of CDOM caused by simulated UV-B radiation and natural solar radiation increased S275–295and S R, but decreased S350–400(Fig.6).In simulated UV-B radiation,S R for the sample at5cm from the UV-B radiation lamp increased20.7%after12-h exposure.In natural solar radiation,S R increased82.0%after12-day exposure and was significantly higher than that of the initial sample(ANOVA analysis,P\0.001). Similar changes were observed by Helms et al.(2008). Although the general trend of S275–295,S350–400,and S R were consistent in the simulated UV-B and natural solar radiation experiments,there were still some differences for S350–400and S R.In natural solar radiation,S350–400decreased and S R increased rapidly in thefirst5days,and thereafter kept at nearlyconstantlevels,which is consistent with the changes of fluorescence.The fraction of CDOM affecting CDOM composition may be bleached rapidly after being exposed to enough radiation(5days).In the later photochemical processes,photodegradation could cause decrease in CDOM absorption relatively evenly across all wavelengths.In simulated UV-B radiation, this phenomenon was not apparent because‘‘sensi-tive’’CDOM had not completely bleached in12h. Additionally,the spectral characteristics of the UV-B lamp and natural radiation could cause the differences of S R.Due to the main absorption in short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation(wavelength\340nm)of the beaker side,the samples absorb more long wavelength irradiance and allow direct photobleaching also at longer wavelengths in the later photochemical pro-cesses.In this case,solar irradiance can increase(or does not change)S350–400in the natural solar radiation experiment(Fig.6).Although this dependence of S R change on the spectral quality of solar exposure has not been previously described to our knowledge,the spectral quality of irradiation had a marked effect on S,and different spectral solar exposure could either increase or decrease S(Miller et al.,2002;Tzortziou et al.,2007).DiscussionThe selective degradation of CDOM in the simulated UV-B radiation experiment(Fig.3)was basically consistent with some previous studies,which showed a clear overlap or a slight shift toward shorter wave-lengths between the wavelengths of maximum bleaching and maximum amount of absorbed energy (Del Vecchio&Blough,2002;Brinkmann et al., 2003).The same process also happens in the natural solar radiation experiment(Fig.5).However,a greater proportional loss of absorption at the longer UV wavelengths was observed in natural radiation,which is attributable to differences in the UV spectra of the lamp and natural solar radiation.For the simulated UV-B radiation lamp,the light intensity of wave-lengths above340nm was very weak(Fig.1),which caused little decrease in absorption;however,light intensity of the natural solar radiation always increased with wavelength in the UV wavelength range(Fig.1),and the light intensity at355nm was significantly higher than that of the simulated UV-B radiation lamp.Therefore,the long wavelength ultraviolet radiation also possibly allows direct photo-bleaching.Monochromatic irradiation at366nmcaused loss of absorption across the entire UV spectrum;however,the greatest loss was at or very near the wavelength of irradiation(Del Vecchio& Blough,2002).CDOM exposure to short-term(0–12h)simulated UV-B and long-term(0–12days)natural solar radia-tion in summer showed that CDOM photobleaching could occur in the surface water of Lake Taihu in summer.Previousfield investigations also found that CDOM absorption was significantly higher in winter than in summer(ANOVA analysis,P\0.001) (Zhang et al.,2007b).Photochemical degradation is a possible explanation for seasonal differences in CDOM absorption.Manyfield and experimental studies demonstrated that CDOM absorption decreased in summer,which was caused by photoble-aching(Morris&Hargreaves,1997;Vodacek et al., 1997;Osburn et al.,2001;Del Vecchio&Blough, 2002).Because the concentration of CDOM in a lake depends on the equilibrium between sinks(e.g., photobleaching)and sources(e.g.,riverine input/ in situ production)(Blough&Del Vecchio,2002),it remains to be determined whether photobleaching is the principal sink of CDOM,and to determine the magnitude and time scale of this process using a CDOM photobleaching model combined with solar irradiance and physical mixing models.Fluorescence especially three-dimensional excita-tion–emission matrix spectra of CDOM are another tool in differentiating the bleaching extent and composition change of CDOM in aquatic systems (Tzortziou et al.,2007;Stedmon et al.,2007).Data from our natural radiation experiment showed that the‘‘sensitive’’FDOM was almost completely bleached after5-day exposure(Table2).The remain-ing FDOM appears to be relatively resistant to photodegradation.This is consistent with results of a previous study in which only partial FDOM was photobleached(Coble,2007).Similarly,solar expo-sure changed thefluorescence spectral properties of terrestrially derived CDOM through preferential photobleaching offluorophores attributed to terres-trially derived humic substances(Moran et al.,2000). Similar results also were observed in other studies (Wu et al.,2005;Clark et al.,2008).In the natural radiation experiment,decrease influorescence also was higher than those of absorption,as in the simulated UV-B radiation experiment.These results are in agreement with severalfield and laboratory studies(Moran et al.,2000;Miller et al.,2002; Tzortziou et al.,2007).Many studies suggested that photochemical deg-radation could modify CDOM composition and alter spectral slopes(Vodacek et al.,1997;Moran et al., 2000);however,photochemical alterations of the CDOM absorption spectral shape(S)remained obscure.Some studies reported increased S with light exposure(Moran et al.,2000;Whitehead et al.,2000; Twardowski&Donaghay,2002)while others reported decreased S(Gao&Zepp,1998;Del Castillo et al.,1999;Stabenau et al.,2004).This inconsistency could be attributed to the use of different methods in calculating S(e.g.,nonlinear vs linearfitting,different spectral ranges)and to differ-ences in the spectral characteristics of the light to which CDOM was exposed in different photobleach-ing experiments(Tzortziou et al.,2007).In order to eliminate these possible factors,Helms et al.(2008) advocated that the ratio of the spectral slopes of two narrow wavelength ranges(275–295nm and350–400nm)be used as indicators of molecular weight, source,and photobleaching of CDOM by comparing CDOM from contrasting water types(from wetlands to photobleached oceanic water).Our results corrob-orate use of the slope ratio to indicate photobleaching of CDOM based on the simulated UV-B and natural solar radiation data.Since the0.22Milliporefiltration used in this study did not remove all microbes from the water and experiments were not performed under sterile condi-tions,some of the CDOM may have been microbially consumed and respired.Previous similar studies, however,also showed no significant spectral change of shaded samples(tubes covered in aluminum foil) during sunlight exposure(Grzybowski,2000)and biological degradation samples(Moran et al.,2000), suggesting that the changes caused by microbial processes would be insignificant in our experiments. Bacteria consume humic components at a relatively low rate(Moran et al.,2000)and microbes consume primarily low-MS photoproducts(Moran&Zepp, 1997;Bertilsson&Tranvik,1998).Therefore,it was likely that decreases in CDOM absorption and fluorescence were largely due to photochemical degradation given that0.22-l mfiltration could remove99.5%of bacteria(Kitidis,2002).Furthermore,Helms et al.(2008)observed that changes in S R caused by microbial degradationdiffered significantly from the changes caused by photochemical degradation.In their study,aerobic microbial incubations in the dark caused significant decreases in S R over days to weeks(Helms et al., 2008).In our study,there were no decreases,but significant increases in S R suggest that microbial degradation was low for0.22-l m-filtered samples in our study.Acknowledgments This study was jointly supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(Grant Nos. 40601099,40730529)and the Knowledge Innovation Project of CAS(KZCX1-YW-14-2,KZCX2-YW-419).
