The effects of organic matter and hydrous metal oxides on the anaerobic degradation of gamma-666, p,p''-DDT in Liaohe River sediments]
沉积物中有机质及金属水合氧化物对γ-666、p,p′-DDT缺氧生物降解性影响

Effects of organic matter and active Fe, Al, Mn oxides on the anaerobic degradation of gamma-666, p,p'-DDT were investigated by means of removing organic matter and hydrous metal oxides in Liaohe River sediments sequentially. The results showed that the anaerobic degradation of gamma-666, p,p'-DDT followed pseudo-first-order kinetics in different sediments; but, the extents and rates of degradation were different, even the other conditions remained same. Anaerobic degradation rates of gamma-666, p,p'-DDT were 0.020 d-1, 0.009 d-1 respectively for the sediments without additional carbon resources. However, with additional carbon resources, the anaerobic degradation rates of gamma-666, p,p'-DDT were 0.071 d-1 and 0.054 d-1 in the original sediments respectively. After removing organic matter, the rates were decreased to 0.047 d-1, 0.037 d-1. In the sediments removed organic matter and hydrous metal oxides, the rates were increased to 0.067 d-1, 0.059 d-1. This results indicated that organic matter in the sediments accelerated the anaerobic degradation of gamma-666, p,p'-DDT; the hydrous metal oxides inhibited the anaerobic degradation of gamma-666 and p,p'-DDT.
