      基于小麦与蚯蚓的烟草废弃物生物炭浸出液生态毒性评估

      Ecotoxicity Assessment of Leachates from Tobacco Wastes-Derived Biochar Based on Wheat and Earthworms

      • 摘要: 为评估烟草废弃物资源化利用的潜在环境风险,以烟草废弃物(烟秆、烟梗和烟叶)为原材料在300 ℃、450 ℃和600 ℃热解温度条件下制备生物炭,探究不同生物炭浸出液对小麦种子生长和抗氧化酶活性的影响及对蚯蚓的生态毒性(半致死浓度和死亡率)。结果表明,烟秆炭、烟梗炭和烟叶炭浸出液的pH和电导率(EC)均随热解温度的升高而升高。浸出液的重金属含量随原料及热解温度的不同而不同,总体表现为烟梗炭>烟叶炭>烟秆炭,600 ℃热解条件下浸出液中重金属含量较低。烟秆炭和烟叶炭浸出液对小麦种子发芽抑制率及幼苗芽长、根长的抑制作用均随热解温度升高而增强,而烟梗炭浸出液则表现出随热解温度升高而先降后升的趋势,且600 ℃热解条件下烟梗炭浸出液的抑制作用最强,对小麦种子的发芽、芽长和根长抑制率分别达到了78.00%、92.07%和90.57%。烟梗炭浸出液显著提升了小麦幼苗CAT、POD、SOD活性及MDA含量。相关性分析结果表明,pH、EC以及特定重金属(Ni、As和Cu)的含量与小麦苗生态毒性具有显著相关性。蚯蚓死亡率随生物炭浸出液稀释比例的降低而升高,随热解温度呈先升高后降低或平稳趋势,同时蚯蚓的半致死浓度(LC50)随热解温度升高呈降低并趋平稳趋势,其中烟梗炭浸出液对蚯蚓的急性毒性效应最为显著,热解温度在450 ℃和600 ℃时蚯蚓24 h和48 h的LC50分别为最低,其值为37.11和12.38 g/kg。综合来看,烟梗炭浸出液的生态毒性最高且因热解温度而异。 本研究证实,烟草废弃物生物炭浸出液具有潜在的生态毒性,其毒性强弱与原料类型和热解温度密切相关,这为烟草废弃物资源化利用提供了重要的环境风险评估依据。

         

        Abstract: To evaluate the potential environmental risks of utilizing tobacco waste as a resource, biochar was produced from tobacco waste (including stalk, stem and leaf) at pyrolysis temperatures of 300 ℃, 450 ℃ and 600 ℃. The effects of leachates from different biochars on wheat seeds germination, seedling growth, antioxidant enzyme activities, and their acute ecotoxicity to earthworms (measured by median lethal concentration, LC50, and mortality) were investigated. The results showed that the pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of leachates from stalk-, stem-, and leaf-derived biochars all increased with rising pyrolysis temperature. The heavy metal contents in the leachates varied depending on the feedstock and pyrolysis temperature, generally following the order: stem-derived biochar > leaf-derived biochar > stalk-derived biochar. Leachates from biochar pyrolyzed at 600 ℃ exhibited lower heavy metal concentrations. The inhibition rates of wheat seed germination, shoot length, and root length by leachates from stalk- and leaf-derived biochars intensified with increasing pyrolysis temperature. In contrast, stem-derived biochar leachates exhibited a U-shaped response, where inhibition first decreased and then increased with temperature, peaking at 600 °C. At this temperature, inhibition rates for germination, shoot length, and root length reached 78.00%, 92.07%, and 90.57%, respectively. The activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in wheat seedlings were significantly increased by leachates from stem-derived biochar. The correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between the ecotoxicity of wheat seedlings and factors including pH, EC, and the concentrations of specific heavy metals (Ni, As, and Cu). The earthworm mortality increased with higher concentrations of biochar leachates and exhibited a trend of first increasing and then decreasing or stabilizing with pyrolysis temperatures. The LC50 for earthworms decreased and then stabilized with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Leachates from stem-derived biochar demonstrated the most pronounced acute toxicity to earthworms; at the pyrolysis temperature of 450 ℃ and 600 ℃, the 24-h and 48-h LC50 for earthworms were the lowest, with values of 37.11 g/kg and 12.38 g/kg, respectively. In conclusion, stem-derived biochar leachates exhibited the highest ecotoxicity, which was,modulated by pyrolysis temperature. This study confirms that biochar leachates from tobacco waste possess potential ecological toxicity, the extent of which is closely associated with both the feedstock type and pyrolysis temperature. These findings provide a critical basis for environmental risk assessment in the resource utilization of tobacco waste.
