聚合氯化铁-腐殖酸(PFC-HA)絮体的不同拓扑空间下分形维数的研究

通过对PFC混凝去除水中HA过程中所形成的PFC-HA絮体的研究结果表明,原水pH分另4为9.0、7.0和5.0时,最佳投药量下形成的絮体的平均沉降速度之间的比值为1.17:1.00:0.49,而且所有絮体的水平投影方向的平均直径与垂直投影方向的平均直径的比值均接近0.85.结合Logan公式和有效密度-长轴的双对数关系计算出的絮体三维空间的分形维数Df较为可靠,在本试验中3种pH的原水下形成的PFC-HA絮体的Df均小于2.0.絮体沉降速度的变化是质量分形维数Df、有效密度和粒径等因素的变化综合影响结果,因此,絮体的Df、有效密度各自的变化趋势有可能与沉降速度的不一致.原水pH=7.0时絮体的Df稍大于原水pH=9.0时絮体的Df,但比原水pH=5.0时絮体的Df大11.73%.可见,与原水pH=9.0时形成的絮体相比,原水pH=7.0时形成了稍微密实的小絮体,但原水pH=5.0时却形成了较为疏松的、很小的絮体.在本试验的图像分辨率下,PFC-HA絮体在一维拓扑空间下的分形维数D1比较低,一般都低于1.10.基于投影面积-长轴关系计算的二维拓扑空间的分形维数D2变化趋势为样品3稍大于样品2,样品1最小;然而基于投影面积一周长计算的二维拓扑空间的分形维数D2却呈现不同的变化趋势.另外,尽管PFC-HA絮体的Df小于2,但其与基于投影面积-长轴关系计算的二维拓扑空间的分形维数D2不相等,不符合Meakin的结论,这与本试验中CCD相机的分辨率和絮体样本数量有关.     

不同水力条件下悬浮液絮体分形结构的研究

利用计算机MATLAB软件,在高浓度悬浮液混凝试验的基础上对选煤废水混凝过程中不同水力条件(搅拌速度和搅拌时间)下所拍摄的显微镜絮体图片进行处理,计算其分形维数,从而分析研究不同水力条件下所形成的絮体结构与对应的絮体平均沉降速度及处理出水浊度的关系。试验结果表明,在混凝剂加入的初始阶段,当搅拌速度v1为250r/min、搅拌时间t1为10s时,絮体结构最密实且接近球体,分形维数最大(Df=1.961 6),此时絮体沉降速度最快,混凝沉降效果最好,出水浊度可达170NTU。     

低温等离子体-臭氧催化氧化降解硫化氢气体的耦合效果与调控方法研究

利用低温等离子体在降解污染过程中产生的副产物臭氧,开展了低温等离子体-臭氧催化氧化耦合工艺同时去除硫化氢和臭氧研究,考察了催化剂粒径、空床停留时间、催化反应温度、等离子体输入功率等工艺参数对硫化氢降解和副产物臭氧浓度的影响。研究发现:臭氧需求因子(Df)与催化床层出口的硫化氢与臭氧浓度之间有一定的对应关系,ln(Df)介于3~4时,尾气中硫化氢和臭氧的浓度可分别维持在5.0×10-6,3×10-6m3/m3以下;等离子体能量密度SIE/Cin与ln(Df)值成明显的正相关:ln(Df)=30.924SIE/Cin-3.5622。对于进气浓度(Cin)和气体流速(Q)皆已知的硫化氢废气,通过调控输入功率(P)来调控SIE使ln(Df)值在3~4,可使耦合工艺具有最佳的去除效果,实现硫化氢和臭氧最佳去除。     

絮凝条件对絮体分形结构的影响

在85kg/m³的含沙高浊水中投加阳离子高分子聚合物,借助图像分析技术与沉降技术分析探讨了不同絮凝条件下泥沙絮凝形态学参数:絮体粒径、絮体有效质量密度、絮体自由沉速、浑液面沉速与上清液余浊等的变化规律.利用表征参数“分维”定量控制不同絮凝条件(如搅拌速率、搅拌时间、高分子浓度等)对含沙高浊水絮体结构分形特性的影响.实验证明,不合适的絮凝条件将导致絮体分形构造疏松脆弱,分维值低.絮凝条件合适时(快速絮凝强度为:r₁=300r/min,t₁=10s;慢速絮凝强度:r₂=120r/min,t₂=180s;CP浓度:0.1%),絮体分形结构处于最佳状态.该状态下的絮体具有粒径较大、沉速快、有效质量密度高、粒度分布均匀,分维值最高(D₃=2.16)的特点.而且,由静沉实验测得浑液面沉速高,上清液余浊也低.泥沙絮体分形结构达最佳时的混凝性能、沉降性能与结构密实性均较理想.     

聚合氯化铁-腐殖酸(PFC-HA)絮体的粒度和分形维数的动态变化

通过采集PFC-HA絮体的单个样品和拍摄它们的二维图像,研究了在不同混凝条件下絮体的粒度和分形维数的变化.结果表明,原水pH的下降滞后了PFC-HA絮体的出现.原水pH≥7.0时,随着投药量的增加,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数D2(lgA-lgdL)和D3(lgV1-lgdL)随之降低,表明絮体的结构越来越疏松;而原水pH=5.0时,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数存在波动.在PFC的最佳投药量时,水力条件的优化可以提高HA的去除效果,但随着原水pH的下降,HA去除效果的提高程度也随之减小.在最佳水力条件下,PFC-HA絮体的粒度为数百微米,其分形维数值较大,表明絮体的结构较为密实.此外,PFC-HA絮体的粒度分布具有(类)分形特征,最佳水力条件下正的D.值表明絮体的粒度分布趋向平稳.在整个混凝搅拌过程中,PFC-HA絮体的分形维数的变化是与混凝的溶液化学条件、搅拌时间和分形维数类型有关,其D2具有先上升后下降的趋势,这一过程中絮体结构先趋向密实,然后趋向疏松.而且慢速搅拌过程中絮体的尺度也是先增加后下降.     

A~2/O工艺中好氧污泥絮体的分形结构与理化特征分析

采用图像法和沉降柱法分别研究了A2/O工艺中好氧污泥絮体的形貌、粒度分布、低维分形维数和沉降速率、有效密度、空隙率以及质量分形维数,并尝试探讨了上述相关性质与这些污泥宏观操作性质(沉降、压缩、脱水和稳定性)相关的各种理化指标以及胞外高分子物质(EPS)的含量之间的变化关系.结果表明,污泥絮体呈现不规则的形貌,表面具有空隙.其有效密度一般随着其粒径的增加而降低,而空隙率和沉降速率却呈现与有效密度相反的变化趋势,这些均表明了污泥絮体的分形结构的存在.2次所采集的污泥絮体的中位直径分别为248.81、332.86μm,有效密度的平均值分别为0.0040、0.0072g·cm-3,自由沉降速率的平均值分别为2.67、4.79mm·s-1,空隙率的平均值分别为0.94、0.89,一维分形维数分别为1.03、1.19,二维分形维数分别为1.64、1.84,采用基于Logan经验公式的有效密度-最大直径的双对数关系确定的质量分形维数分别为1.74、2.29.尽管第2次所采集的污泥絮体较为密实,但其表面粗糙程度却比第1次的低.此外,研究中发现絮凝能力较高或负电荷较高的A2/O好氧污泥絮体具有高的SVI和ZSV值;分形维数较低...     

柠檬酸对不同混凝剂混凝效果的影响

通过对不同混凝剂(Al2(SO4)3、Fe2(SO4)3、PACl25)混凝过程中絮体粒径大小的测定,研究了在不同pH条件下柠檬酸浓度对3种混凝剂混凝效果的影响.结果发现,随着柠檬酸浓度的增加,3种混凝剂混凝过程中生成絮体的速率和粒径大小都在逐渐降低,但3种混凝剂受到抑制的程度不同:对于硫酸铝,当n(柠檬酸)/n(Al) =0.1时,混凝20 min内没有絮体生成;对于硫酸铁,仅当n(柠檬酸)/n(Fe)=0.05时,絮体就不再生成;而当n(柠檬酸)/n(Al) =0.5时,PACl25絮体仍能很快地形成.不同的pH值下柠檬酸对混凝效果的抑制程度也不同:对于硫酸铝,pH =6时生成絮体最大,pH =8时没有絮体生成;对于硫酸铁,pH =5时产生絮体的情况和pH =6时相似,而pH =7时絮体消失;而对于PACl25,絮体大小随着pH值的升高而增大(pH在7～9之间).另外,通过对Zeta电位的测定可知,随着柠檬酸浓度的增加,3种混凝剂的Zeta电位都在降低,但降低的速率不同:硫酸铁＞硫酸铝＞ PACl25,这与絮体粒径大小的变化规律一致.

运用分形理论修正了颗粒物微界面吸附模型,建立了朗格缪尔(Langmuir)、弗伦德利希(Freundlich)和表面络合模型的分形吸附等温线方程式．其中,朗格缪尔(Langmuir)吸附等温线的分形表达式为：Γ=ΓmCc^1/m／(b^m Cc^1/m),指数m与颗粒物表面分维Ds的关系如下：m∝ac^D/2-1∝ro^Do-2;表面络合模型的分形表达式为：Γ=ΓmCs^(n/x)/(b^(n/x) Cs^(n/x)),而且lgb=lg(ks／kb) pH,指数x／n与颗粒物表面分维Ds的关系如下：x／n∝0^D/2-1∝r0^D-2;相应的弗伦德利希(Freundlich)吸附等温线的分形形式分别为：Γ=(Γm／bm)Cs^1/n,Γ=(Γm／b^(x/n))Cr^(n/x),通过对献中的数据的模拟初步讨论了分形模型的适用性,结果表明,它们具有更接近于实际的描述微界面吸附过程的能力,通过lg(x／n)=lgk’ (Dn-2)lgro计算出土壤颗粒和尾矿砂颗粒的表面分形维数分别为2．42和2．72。     

海藻酸钠对改性黏土絮凝特征的影响

以海藻酸钠为藻源有机质的模式化合物,考察了赤潮水体中藻源有机化合物对改性黏土絮凝速率及絮凝体特征的影响;并利用图像分析法,测定了絮凝体的分形维数Df,借助分形维数对改性黏土的絮凝形态学特征进行了半定量化分析.结果表明:当海藻酸钠浓度在10~100mg/L范围内时,可以提高改性黏土絮凝的速率,絮凝体的分形维数Df、絮凝体强度呈现出先增大后减小的规律;其中,最佳浓度为50mg/L,其最大絮凝速率达到44.13、Df 为1.6823.低浓度(100mg/L)海藻酸钠能促进改性黏土的絮凝效率,但促进作用呈现减小的趋势,表现为最大絮凝效率减小,Df降低、絮凝体的空隙率增大.     

絮凝方式对藻类絮体形态、强度及气浮的影响

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.     

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.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
