Octylphenol is widely used in coating, rubber and other industries. It is a typical Phenolic Endocrine Disruptors (PEDs) . Low concentration of octylphenol in environmental medium may also cause great environmental harm. It is urgent to develop efficient and rapid detection methods to warn and predict its environmental risks. In this study, microspheres were prepared with silver particles as core and octylphenol engram on surface. A method for rapid determination of trace octylphenol by surface enhanced Raman scattering and molecular engram was tested. The results of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) , X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the silver core octylphenol engram microspheres are the core-shell structure of silica wrapped with shell, octylphenol is imprinted on the surface of the shell, and the shell did not affect the crystal structure of the silver core. The shell thickness affects the selective adsorption of octylphenol and Raman light enhancement effect, the best shell thickness of microspheres is 25 nm. The minimum detection limit of octylphenol by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy combined with molecular engram is 10−12 mol/L.

In order to explore the joint remediation technology of eutrophic water bodies and jointly solve the problems of sediment pollution, plant waste and excessive phosphorus in water bodies, preparation of modified biochar by co-pyrolysis of sediment and plant waste to adsorb phosphorus in water was studied. The effects of preparation conditions such as the ratio of biochar raw material, pyrolysis time and temperature, modifier and its ratio on the adsorption of phosphorus were studied. The effects of pH and co-existing ions on the adsorption of phosphorus by Fe modified biochar were investigated. The results show that the adsorption capacity of Fe modified biochar 20:10:3-ZnBC450-3Fe on low concentration phosphorus (1 mg/L) was 2.76 mg/g, and the removal rate was 68.96%. Under neutral conditions, Fe modified biochar adsorbed phosphorus well. Na+, K+ and Cl− promoted the adsorption of phosphorus, but Al3+, CO32− and SO42− inhibited the adsorption of phosphorus. The adsorption of phosphorus by Fe modified biochar conformed to the quasi-second-order kinetics and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. SEM-EDS test proves the effectiveness of phosphorus adsorption by iron-modified biochar. The preparation of biochar by co-pyrolysis of sediment and plant waste to adsorb phosphorus in water is a comprehensive restoration technology combining physical, chemical and biological means for river and lake garden ecosystem, which has good application prospect.
