项目摘要
In the United States (US), municipal wastewater treatment plants generate millions of tons of sludge per year. A significant fraction of this sludge is treated to produce a nutrient-rich product commonly referred to as biosolids. In the US, it is estimated that 7.2 million dry metric tons of biosolids are produced annually with approximately 55% of the biosolids generated used as soil amendments and sources of nutrients and organic matter in agriculture, farming, and land restoration. The detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids has raised serious concerns about the continuing and safe use of these solids in agricultural and farming land applications. PFAS are fluorinated organic chemicals that have emerged as priority pollutants during the last decade due to increasing concerns about their persistence, stability, and toxicity to humans and other living organisms as they accumulate in the environment. The overarching goal of this collaborative project is to identify, design, and synthesize suitable sorbents that can bind and sequester PFAS in biosolids. The successful completion of this project will benefit society through the development of new fundamental knowledge and sorbents to mitigate and eliminate the potential uptake of PFAS by plants when biosolids are used in agriculture and farming land applications. Additional benefits to society will be achieved through outreach and educational activities including the mentoring of a graduate student at the University at Albany, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, and a graduate student at Temple University. Approximately 55% of the biosolids derived from municipal sludge in the US are used as soil amendments, fertilizers, and sources of nutrients and organic matter in agriculture, farming, and land restoration. The increasing detection of PFAS in biosolids is raising significant concerns about their continuing and safe use in agricultural and farming land applications. Preliminary work by the Principal Investigators (PIs) of this project has established that certain sorbents can sequester and stabilize perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in biosolids. However, there are a number of unanswered questions about this sorption-based stabilization of PFAS in biosolids including whether it is applicable to a wide range of PFAS precursors, whether the stabilized PFAS will remain immobilized in soils in the long term, and whether the stabilized PFAS will be taken up by plants. The proposed research will address these critical knowledge gaps. To advance this goal, the PIs propose to carry out an integrated experimental and modeling research program to test the hypothesis that anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic PFAS precursors can be stabilized in biosolids upon amendments with suitable sorbents designed to enhance covalent binding (via head group interactions) and adsorption (via tail group interactions) between the target sorbents and PFAS precursors. The proposed research activities will be structured around three tasks: 1) Investigation of the transformations and distributions of PFAS precursors in model anaerobically digested sludge samples with or without added sorbents; 2) Investigation of the transformations and distributions of PFAS precursors in biosolid-soil systems with or without added sorbents using soybeans as a model plant; and 3) Evaluation of the fate, transformations, and distributions of 13C-label PFAS precursors and their mixtures in real sludge samples. The successful completion of this project has the potential for transformative impact through the development of new fundamental knowledge to advance the identification, design, and synthesis of efficient and cost-effective sorbents that can sequester and stabilize PFAS in biosolids to enable their continuing and safe use in agricultural and farming land applications. To implement the education and outreach activities of the project, the PIs plan to leverage established programs at the University at Albany (e.g., the Collegiate Science & Technology Entry Program) funded by the New York State Department of Education to recruit and mentor two middle or high school students and two undergraduate students to work on the project research team. In addition, the PIs plan to set up a website to disseminate the project research findings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
在美国,城市污水处理厂每年产生数百万吨污泥。这种污泥的很大一部分被处理以产生通常被称为生物固体的营养丰富的产品。在美国,据估计,每年产生720万干公吨的生物固体,其中约55%的生物固体用作土壤改良剂以及农业、耕作和土地恢复中的营养物质和有机物质来源。生物固体中全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)的检测引起了人们对这些固体在农业和农田应用中的持续和安全使用的严重关注。PFAS是一种含氟有机化学品,在过去十年中已成为优先污染物,因为人们越来越关注其在环境中积累时对人类和其他生物体的持久性,稳定性和毒性。这个合作项目的首要目标是识别,设计和合成合适的吸附剂,可以结合和隔离生物固体中的PFAS。该项目的成功完成将通过开发新的基础知识和吸附剂来减轻和消除生物固体用于农业和农田应用时植物对PFAS的潜在吸收,从而造福社会。将通过外联和教育活动,包括指导奥尔巴尼大学的一名研究生、亚利桑那大学的一名研究生和坦普尔大学的一名研究生,为社会带来更多的好处。在美国,大约55%的来自城市污泥的生物固体被用作土壤改良剂、肥料以及农业、耕作和土地恢复中的营养物质和有机物质的来源。生物固体中PFAS的检测越来越多,这引起了人们对它们在农业和农田应用中的持续和安全使用的严重关注。该项目的主要研究人员(PI)的初步工作已经确定,某些吸附剂可以螯合和稳定生物固体中的全氟烷基酸(PFAA)。然而,关于生物固体中PFAS的这种基于吸附的稳定化存在许多未回答的问题,包括它是否适用于广泛的PFAS前体,稳定化的PFAS是否将长期保持固定在土壤中,以及稳定化的PFAS是否将被植物吸收。拟议的研究将解决这些关键的知识差距。为了推进这一目标,PI建议进行一个综合的实验和建模研究计划,以测试的假设,阴离子,阳离子或两性离子PFAS前体可以稳定在生物固体修正后,与合适的吸附剂,旨在提高共价结合(通过头基相互作用)和吸附(通过尾基相互作用)之间的目标吸附剂和PFAS前体。本研究主要围绕三个方面展开:1)研究PFAS前体物质在厌氧消化污泥中的转化和分布规律,2)以大豆为模式植物,研究PFAS前体物质在厌氧消化污泥中的转化和分布规律;和3)评价13 C-标记PFAS前体及其混合物在真实的污泥样品中的归宿、转化和分布。该项目的成功完成具有潜在的变革性影响,通过开发新的基础知识,以促进高效和具有成本效益的吸附剂的识别,设计和合成,这些吸附剂可以隔离和稳定生物固体中的PFAS,使其能够在农业和农田应用中持续安全地使用。为了实施该项目的教育和推广活动,PI计划利用奥尔巴尼大学的既定项目(例如,该项目由纽约州教育部资助,招募并指导两名初中或高中学生和两名本科生在项目研究团队中工作。此外,项目研究者计划建立一个网站,传播项目研究成果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
