地下水环境中反硝化作用

地下水氮污染已是全球性的环境问题，反硝化作用是地下水脱氢的主要机制。本文综述了地下水环境中反硝化作用的判据、速率、影响因素以及人工强化措施，指出了存在的问题和今后的发展方向。     

影响活性污泥脱氮效率的因素

活性污泥对氮的去除主要通过硝化和反硝化作用来进行。温度、pH、溶解氧浓度、污泥龄、毒性物质、污水性质(有机物含量、氮浓度)都会对系统脱氮能力产生影响。一般较高的pH、延长污泥龄、较低的溶解氧浓度和较低的有机碳浓度均能提高系统的硝化能力,反硝化/硝化系统具有投资省、脱氮效率高等优点。除甲醇外,其它一些工业废弃物也可作为促进反硝化作用的碳源。由于厌氧环境有利于反硝化作用,所以厌氧/好氧(A/O)法和间歇式活性污泥法(SBR)具有极高的脱氮效率。     

湖岸缓冲带反硝化作用的研究进展

反硝化作用是湖岸缓冲带去除硝酸盐的重要途径。湖岸缓冲带是联系陆地与湖泊生态系的纽带，不仅为许多动植物提供适宜生境，而且通过反硝化作用能去除地下水中的硝酸盐，提高湖泊水质。概述不同检测反硝化速率的方法，并对比各种方法的优点与缺点。阐述反硝化作用的影响因素：厌氧环境、有机碳、湖岸坡度、缓冲带坡度、pH与温度、硝酸盐浓度。介绍反硝化速率模型的研究开发状况。最后，提出了目前国内外反硝化研究中存在的不足及发展方向。     

深埋地热水中三氮分布特征及其影响因素研究

为有效控制深埋地热水中三氮污染,并为合理开发地热水资源提供理论依据,基于开封市城区44眼地热井(埋深为600~1 800m)的理化指标,绘制了三氮在各含水层中的浓度等值线图,研究了开封市地热水中三氮空间分布规律及其影响因素。研究结果表明:以《地下水质量标准》(GB/T 14848—93)的Ⅲ类水质要求为评价标准,开封市埋深为600~1 800m的地热水中,三氮污染以亚硝酸盐氮为主,硝酸盐氮与氨氮污染较轻;亚硝酸盐氮超标区主要分布在开封市火车站附近,其分布规律是发生不同程度硝化/反硝化作用的结果;除个别取样点外,各含水层中硝酸盐氮和氨氮的浓度均较低。相关分析结果表明,亚硝酸盐氮与硝酸盐氮显著相关,氨氮与pH显著相关,进一步证实了三氮浓度分布与硝化/反硝化作用有关。     

生物基质对煤渣改良地下渗滤系统脱氮效果的影响

地下渗滤系统(SWIS)对硝化、反硝化过程调控不灵活,导致其对氮的去除效果不够理想。组建了两套SWIS装置(1#装置:65～80cm段没有生物基质;2~#装置:65～80cm段添加生物基质),对沿程氮素、硝化和反硝化作用强度及氮还原酶活性进行分析。结果表明,两套装置均表现为硝化反应主要发生在20～60cm段,反硝化反应主要发生在60～80cm段。2~#装置的反硝化作用明显强于1#装置,因此其TN去除率高于1~#装置。硝化作用强度随深度增加而递减,反硝化作用强度随深度增加而递增。硝酸盐还原酶(NAR)活性随深度的增加而逐渐减弱,亚硝酸盐还原酶(NIR)活性随深度的增加先减弱后又增强。主要原因是2~#装置中添加了干化污泥作为生物基质,为反硝化作用补充了碳源,增强了脱氮能力。     

多介质渗透反应格栅中氨氮的转化与存在形态

在利用渗透反应格栅技术修复地下水氨氮污染过程中,掌握氨氮在不同介质环境中的转化规律及存在形态对多介质渗透反应格栅中各介质作用及氮转化过程的控制十分重要.针对进水氨氮浓度约10 mg/L的模拟地下水,以天然河沙、释氧材料、斜发沸石及海绵铁为反应介质,设计了一套多介质渗透反应格栅模拟氨氮在各介质环境中的转化及归宿.结果表明,在天然河沙层,氨氮优先被河沙吸附固定,但去除量有限(△C＜1.5 mg/L),氨氮主要以离子态溶于模拟地下水.在好氧沸石层,氨氮经沸石吸附及生物硝化协同作用几乎被完全去除,该层出水氨氮浓度低于0.01 mg/L,且氮主要存在形态为硝酸盐氮(C=10～26.6 mg/L).在铁厌氧层,部分硝酸盐氮经海绵铁化学还原和生物反硝化作用,分别被转化为氨氮(△C=2～9.5 mg/L)和氮气(△C＜8 mg/L),其余硝酸盐氮以离子态继续存留于模拟地下水.

金属纳米材料在厌氧条件下对脱氮副球菌反硝化作用的影响

以脱氮副球菌YF1为实验菌株,研究纳米Fe0和纳米Fe/Ni 2种金属纳米材料对菌体生长及其反硝化作用的影响。实验结果表明:添加纳米材料到反应体系中会降低实验菌株的生长量和生物反硝化作用,纳米Fe/Ni对实验菌株的毒性比纳米Fe0大。在含硝态氮初始浓度为100 mg/L的反硝化培养基中接种脱氮副球菌,于30℃培养20 h,脱氮率为89.47%,而菌+1 000 mg/L纳米Fe/Ni的体系脱氮率仅为64.33%;菌+1 000 mg/L纳米Fe0体系的脱氮率为76.36%。不同体系的反硝化过程均可采用零级动力学模型进行拟合(相关系数R2>0.92)。这2种金属纳米材料对实验菌株的生长量及其反硝化作用的影响程度,与体系的pH和温度有较大关系。     

高浓度氨氮废水同步硝化反硝化性能研究

利用序批式反应器研究了溶解氧浓度和进水碳氮比对高浓度氨氮废水脱氮性能的影响.结果表明,溶解氧浓度降低实现了短程同步硝化反硝化,并提高了反应器脱氮效率.反应器运行经历了外部碳源的摄取、PHB储存、PHB有氧氧化和同步硝化反硝化作用,PHB作为同步硝化反硝化过程中反硝化的电子供体.     

复合介质渗透反应格栅去除地下水中的氨氮

针对受低浓度氨氮污染的地下水,实验筛选组合了不同的反应介质,利用串联的多介质填充柱模拟渗透反应格栅,通过物理吸附及生物硝化-反硝化作用来实现氮的去除。结果表明,在进水氨氮浓度为10 mg/L、流速为0.5 m/d的条件下,模拟柱对氨氮的去除率达到98%以上,且不会出现亚硝酸盐及硝酸盐浓度的升高。水体经过释氧柱后溶解氧由2mg/L升高至10 mg/L以上,表明释氧材料可提供硝化细菌所需的好氧环境。好氧柱中填充易于生物挂膜的生物陶粒及对氨氮有较强吸附能力的沸石,二者联用通过生物硝化-物理吸附协同作用实现对氨氮的去除,其中生物作用实现的氨氮去除量占总去除量的50%左右。后续厌氧反应柱填充海绵铁除氧并利用松树皮颗粒作为碳源,创造反硝化菌生长条件,硝酸盐氮浓度可由10 mg/L降低至5 mg/L以下,实现对好氧反应阶段所产生的硝酸盐的去除,避免了地下水的二次污染。     

纳米铁-微生物耦合体系去除硝酸盐的影响因素研究

采用液相还原法制备出纳米铁粒子,并与自养反硝化细菌耦合,以解决单独使用生物反硝化和纳米铁还原法的不足。本实验在纳米铁-微生物耦合体系可以有效还原硝酸盐的基础上,研究了pH、温度和DO等环境因素对该耦合体系脱氮速率和产物的影响,以期通过优化参数达到最好的脱氮效果。结果表明,该体系在中性条件下能够快速将硝酸盐还原,随pH升高,氨氮比例无显著变化,均在40%左右,但还原速率有所下降;随温度的升高,氨氮比例有所上升,而反应速率明显升高,但该体系在5℃时仍能将硝酸盐完全去除;耦合体系中的DO过高或过低都会导致产物中氨氮比例的增加,0.4 mg/L左右为较适宜DO水平,但对硝酸盐还原速率的影响不大,当DO为0.8 mg/L时,硝酸盐仍可以在8 d内完全去除。因此,该耦合脱氮体系对pH、温度和DO的适应能力较强,有利于实际地下水的原位修复。     

再生水中NO_3~--N、NO_2~--N、NH_4~+-N在粉土介质中迁移转化的研究

通过土柱实验模拟再生水在粉土层下渗过程中NO3--N、NO2--N、NH4+-N的迁移转化规律。结果表明,实验温度为23.2～25.9℃时,土柱内发生反硝化反应,NO3--N的去除率为9.74%～39.16%,反应符合一级反应动力学方程,衰减系数为0.0968～0.5531m-1;实验温度低于19℃时,土柱内反硝化反应消失,说明低温是制约再生水在土柱内发生反硝化作用的主要因素。

Correlations between in situ denitrification activity and nir-gene abundances in pristine and impacted prairie streams

Denitrification is a process that reduces nitrogen levels in headwaters and other streams. We compared nirS and nirK abundances with the absolute rate of denitrification, the longitudinal coefficient of denitrification (i.e., K_den, which represents optimal denitrification rates at given environmental conditions), and water quality in seven prairie streams to determine if nir-gene abundances explain denitrification activity. Previous work showed that absolute rates of denitrification correlate with nitrate levels; however, no correlation has been found for denitrification efficiency, which we hypothesise might be related to gene abundances. Water-column nitrate and soluble-reactive phosphorus levels significantly correlated with absolute rates of denitrification, but nir-gene abundances did not. However, nirS and nirK abundances significantly correlated with K_den, as well as phosphorus, although no correlation was found between K_den and nitrate. These data confirm that absolute denitrification rates are controlled by nitrate load, but intrinsic denitrification efficiency is linked to nirS and nirK gene abundances.     

Microbiology of high-sodium-nitrite-wastewater treatment

A microbiological study conducted as a complement to kinetic studies of biological denitrification as a process for treating high-sodium-nitrite wastewaters generated from ship-boiler-tube cleaning is described. The number, genera, and denitrifying capabilities of the organisms inhabiting anoxic suspended-growth reactors used in the kinetic studies were evaluated for four experimental phases. The results regarding the enumeration of bacteria supported the findings of the kinetic studies as follows: (i) the better nitrite-removal efficiencies observed in the nitrification/denitrification system as compared with direct denitrification were confirmed by the presence of larger populations of organisms capable of completely reducing nitrate or nitrite; (ii) the presence of metals in concentrations associated with boiler-tube wastewater did not affect removal performance in the nitrification/denitrification systems, nor did it affect the density of complete denitrifiers; (iii) increasing sludge ages resulted in increasing nitrite-removal efficiencies as well as populations of complete denitrifiers; and (iv) a decrease in nitrate-removal efficiencies when the actual wastewater was introduced to a system that had been acclimated to the synthetic wastewater coincided with a reduction in the number of complete denitrifiers. Regarding the types of organisms found in this study, denitrifying strains of Alcaligenes and Pseudomonas were always present in the anoxic reactors along with other denitrifying and non-denitrifying bacteria of the same genera, or other genera such as Acinetobacter and Flavobacterium. However, members of the genus Alcaligenes were the only complete denitrifiers found in the anoxic reactors, and hence they are likely to play a key role in the denitrification process.     

Use of pyrite for pH control during hydrogenotrophic denitrification using metallic iron as the ultimate electron donor

Maintenance of stable pH through provision of adequate buffering is of importance to many pollutant removal processes where either acid or base is produced as a reaction product. The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of pyrite (FeS2) as an in situ buffering agent for arresting pH increase during metallic iron assisted hydrogenotrophic denitrification. Pyrite is considered promising for this purpose because it is a mineral which is unstable under moderately reducing, i.e., anoxic conditions, where such denitrification takes place, and therefore expected to consume hydroxide ions produced due to hydrogenotrophic denitrification reactions and get oxidized to ferrous hydroxide Fe(OH)2. The theoretical basis for this buffering action was established through chemical speciation studies using the chemical speciation software, MINEQL+. Experimental evaluation of the buffering efficiency of pyrite showed that it was effective in arresting pH increase associated with denitrification in both batch systems and during flow through reactive porous media. Further, addition of pyrite had no demonstrable toxic effect on the denitrifying microorganisms, though elevated sulfate concentration was seen in the effluent after denitrification.
