Treatment Step

The continuous ozonation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) was studied in a two stage ozonation system followed by serobic biological degradation. The highly condensed PAH benzo(e)pyrene and benzo(k)fluoranthene were oxidized selectiely in synthetic oil/water-emulsions. The influence of the ozone mass transfer gas-liquid on the reaction rate of benzo(k)fluoranthene was studied for process optimization. The dissolved ozone concentration is influenced by temperature to a higher degree than the reaction rate of PAH. In dependence on pH, PAH oxidation occurs by a direct reaction with ozone inside the oil droplets. Two main ozonation products of benzo(e)pyrene were quantified at different retention times during ozonation and their transformation could be shown in the biological treatment step.

Abstract Photooxidative transformations and mechanisms of oxidative reactions in aromatic groups of hydrocarbons isolated from heavy Surakhan (Azerbaijan) petroleum under atmospheric conditions have been investigated. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are part of the aromatic components of heavy Surakhan petroleum, after irradiation with UV rays for 1÷11 hours in the presence of oxygen undergo chemical transformations: endoperoxides polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, quinones, etc. are formed. It was found that oxidation products under atmospheric conditions can be formed as follows: during the oxidation of acenes (naphthalene, anthracene), which are part of the aromatic groups of petroleum components, excited aromatic hydrocarbons (donor) interact with atmospheric oxygen (acceptor) in the triplet state with the transition of the acceptor to excited state with the formation of singlet oxygen 1O2, in this case the donor molecule returns to the ground state. When phenanthrene is photooxidized, quinones are formed (the reaction is irreversible).

ABSTRACT In this study, the genes involved in the initial attack on fluorene by Sphingomonas sp. strain LB126 were investigated. The α and β subunits of a dioxygenase complex (FlnA1-FlnA2), showing 63 and 51% sequence identity, respectively, to the subunits of an angular dioxygenase from the gram-positive dibenzofuran degrader Terrabacter sp. strain DBF63, were identified. When overexpressed in Escherichia coli, FlnA1-FlnA2 was responsible for the angular oxidation of fluorene, 9-hydroxyfluorene, 9-fluorenone, dibenzofuran, and dibenzo-p-dioxin. Moreover, FlnA1-FlnA2 was able to oxidize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heteroaromatics, some of which were not oxidized by the dioxygenase from Terrabacter sp. strain DBF63. The quantification of resulting oxidation products showed that fluorene and phenanthrene were the preferred substrates of FlnA1-FlnA2.

<p>Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants with proven mutagenic and carcinogenic potential that originate from incomplete combustion, and partition to fine particulate matter. Nitro-PAHs & oxy-PAHs are oxidation products of PAHs with increased toxicity compared to their parent members and may reveal useful information about the aging and oxidation processes of PAHs.</p><p>In this study, we investigate the seasonal profiles of 31 PAHs and select oxidized forms such as nitro PAHs & quinones in Athens, Greece to understand their sources, levels, toxicity and impacts. PAHs levels were found to be significantly higher during winter, particularly during intense pollution episodes, compared to the other seasons. Chemical markers linked to biomass burning (BB) emissions are found to correlate well with the total amount of PAHs (ΣPAHs) during wintertime, strongly indicating that BB emissions are a significant source of PAHs. Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) analysis showed that more than 50% of ΣPAHs originate from BB emissions and that a “factor” (composed of a specific mixture of PAHs) characterizes biomass burning emissions – and can potentially be used as a tracer. Analysis of the PMF series suggests that BB aerosol is much more carcinogenic than the effects of gasoline and diesel combustion combined. Finally, the exposure impact during winter is 9 times higher compared with the other seasons.</p><p> Acknowledgements</p><p>This work has been funded by the European Research Council, CoG-2016 project PyroTRACH (726165) H2020-EU.1.1. – Excellent.
