通过模型试验研究了曝气生物滤池脱氮过程中的亚硝酸盐积累现象,考察了运行条件对亚硝酸盐积累的影响.试验结果表明,曝气生物滤池在滤速1～2m/h、气水比3:1、水温20.5℃～26.5℃、进水氨氮负荷0.26～0.62kg/(m³·d)、总氮负荷0.28～0.63kg/(m³³·d)和0.18～0.42kg/(m³·d)反应器内反应液和处理水连续监测结果、反应器内含氮化合物空间分布分析以及微生物数量及活性测定结果表明,反应器中出现了明显的亚硝酸盐积累现象,表现出显著的短程硝化反硝化特征.初步分析探讨了亚硝酸盐积累的形成机理和运行条件对亚硝酸盐积累的影响,认为反冲洗过程是最主要的影响因素,而曝气生物滤池的结构特征和运行方式是其能够出现亚硝酸盐积累,并进行短程硝化反硝化脱氮的主要原因.

曝气生物滤池好氧反硝化脱氮的研究

采用某钢铁厂含氮废水,利用生物滤池工艺,研究了曝气生物滤池的挂膜、溶解氧、碳氮比对好氧反硝化脱氮的影响.结果表明,利用富含好氧反硝化菌的富集菌液进行挂膜,16 d基本完成挂膜,脱氮率90%.当溶解氧较低时(DO为1.5～4.2mg/L),随着溶解氧的增大,反硝化效率提高,其中以DO为3.5 mg/L时的效果最好,脱氮率为95.4%.随着曝气量继续增加,脱氮率有所下降,当DO为8.0 mg/L时,脱氮率仍有44.8%.可推断系统中有好氧反硝化菌,存在以O2作为电子受体的好氧反硝化现象.随着碳氮比(COD/N)增大,反硝化效果提高.当COD/N为6～7时,基本能够满足反硝化所需碳源.此时脱氮率大于96%,亚硝态氮在整个反应过程中几乎没有积累,COD去除率在85%左右.     

短程硝化-反硝化生物滤池脱氮机制研究

研究了短程硝化生物滤池的调控因素以及短程硝化-反硝化生物滤池的脱氮机制.结果表明,针对城市污水处理厂二级出水中的氨氮和总氮,在水温为(30±1)℃的条件下,提高进水pH值有助于硝化生物滤池中亚硝酸盐的积累,较好地实现短程硝化过程,当进水pH值平均为8.5时,亚硝酸盐的积累达到最大.沿硝化生物滤池水流方向,pH和DO的变化呈相反趋势,亚硝酸盐的积累呈增加趋势,在反应器出水口较好地实现了亚硝酸盐的积累.短程硝化-反硝化生物滤池对NH4+-N有较好的去除效率(90%以上);当反硝化生物滤池进水COD/TN为3.0时,出水TN的浓度降低到8～9 mg.L-1的范围,去除率稳定在79%～81%.

三种反硝化滤池深度脱氮中试

以污水厂实际二级出水为处理目标,通过中试试验研究了陶粒滤料反硝化生物滤池、固定床反硝化砂滤池和连续过滤连续反冲砂滤池的特性。以甲醇作为外加碳源,3种滤池均可实现出水平均总氮小于5 mg/L。不足量投加外碳源会出现出水亚硝态氮的积累。当进水TN为15 mg/L左右时,为达到出水TN小于5 mg/L,生物滤池、固定床砂滤池和连续过滤砂滤池建议滤速分别为不大于8,5.2,6.2 m/h;滤池反硝化碳源投加比例分别为4.28,3.0,3.2 g甲醇/gTN;对应的反硝化容积负荷平均值分别为1.1,0.8,1.2 kg/(m3·d)。进水组分分析发现,有机氮不是出水总氮小于5 mg/L的限制因素。     

SBR处理渗滤液深度脱氮的影响因素研究

为了解决垃圾渗滤液的脱氮难题,通过改变SBR的操作模式对渗滤液进行处理.同时,试验重点考察了操作模式、曝气时溶解氧、过曝气以及渗滤液碳氮比对工艺脱氮效果的影响.研究结果表明,采用改进SBR对渗滤液进行处理,在原水COD浓度为4000mg/L左右,氨氮浓度为1000mg/L左右,总氮浓度在1100mg/L左右的条件下,不添加任何碳源,出水COD小于500mg/L,氨氮浓度小于5mg/L,总氮浓度小于40mg/L,COD、氨氮和总氮的去除率分别达到了85%、99%和95%以上.影响因素试验表明,反硝化菌中的PHA含量是影响系统脱氮效率的关键.曝气时较高的溶解氧、曝气前的厌氧搅拌以及尽量减少过曝气将提高系统的脱氮效率.同时,只要渗滤液碳氮比大于4,系统均可以对渗滤液实现深度脱氮.

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.
