东湖沉积物中dNaR活性和硝酸盐还原菌的垂向分布

测定了武汉东湖污染负荷不同的3个点位(污染负荷为3号>2号>1号)柱状沉积物中异化性硝酸还原酶(dNaR)活性以及硝酸盐还原菌数量、TOC、TN、NO3--N的垂向变化,分析了dNaR活性与硝酸盐还原菌数量、TOC、TN、NO3--N的相关性.结果表明,不同点位沉积物中dNaR活性不同,污染负荷最高的3号点位dNaR活性最高,污染负荷最低的1号点活性最低.不同点位沉积物中dNaR活性在垂向分布上具有相似特征:0~15cm沉积物中活性较大,15cm以下随着深度的增加,酶活性迅速降低.硝酸盐还原菌数量在垂向分布上随着深度的增加而减小. dNaR活性与TOC、TN不具有相关性,而与NO3--N呈正相关(P<0.05);dNaR活性与硝酸盐还原菌数量呈显著性相关(P<0.01).

Determination of hydroxyl radicals with salicylic acid in aqueous nitrate and nitrite solutions

The qualitative and quantitative analyses of reactive oxygen species are essential to determine their steady-state concentration and related reaction mechanisms in environmental aquatic systems. In this study, salicylic acid was employed as an innovative molecular probe of hydroxyl radical(OH) generated in aqueous nitrate and nitrite solutions through photochemical reactions. Kinetic studies showed that the steady-state concentrations of OH in aqueous NO3^-(10 mmol/L, pH=5) and NO2^ (10 mmol/L, pH=5) solutions under ultraviolet irradiation were at a same magnitude, 10v-15 mol/L. Apparent quantum yields of OH at 313 nm were measured as 0.011 and 0.07 for NO3^- and NO2^ respectively, all comparable to the results of previous studies.

甲烷为唯一电子供体驱动硝酸盐/亚硝酸生物还原及微生物群落结构分析

反硝化厌氧甲烷微生物生长缓慢、倍增时间长,难以在短时间内成功富集.为快速大量富集以甲烷为唯一电子供体的硝酸盐/亚硝酸盐还原微生物,选择甲烷通量适宜的中空纤维膜材料并设计高效无泡曝气膜生物膜反应器（MBfR）.在反应器运行初期,两个反应器分别手动添加200 mg·L^-1的硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐,两个反应器进行闭合自循环的76 d内,均可在10 d内将200 mg·L^-1的硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐完全去除.稳定后,200 mg·L^-1硝酸盐可在2 d之内全部还原,还原速率略快于亚硝酸盐.在MBfR运行第77~124 d,改为序批式生物反应器方式运行,两个反应器内反硝化速率均可达到50 mg·L^-1·d^-1,表明以甲烷为唯一电子供体驱动的反硝化微生物成功富集并挂膜.在微生物富集过程MBfR出水中均检出挥发性脂肪酸（VFAs）,以硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐为电子受体的反应器最高VFAs含量分别可达948 mg·L^-1和997 mg·L^-1.高通量测序结果发现,以硝酸盐为电子受体的反应器内产酸菌Propionispora和Proteiniphilum的丰度可以达到39.1%和3.1%,而在以亚硝酸盐作为电子受体时,产酸菌Propionispora和Proteiniphilum丰度分别为80.9%和2.4%,是反应器内部的优势菌属.而异养反硝化菌Pseudomonas在两组微生物富集阶段均具有较高丰度.由此推测在本研究中甲烷为唯一电子供体驱动的硝酸盐/亚硝酸盐生物还原过程由VFAs作为中间产物介导完成.本研究结果可为推进污水脱氮技术的发展提供参考.

Simultaneous determination of dissolved organic nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate and ammonia using size exclusion chromatography coupled with nitrogen detector

Accurate quantification of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) has been a challenge due to the cumulative analytical errors in the conventional method via subtracting dissolved inorganic nitrogen species (DIN) from total dissolved nitrogen (TDN). Size exclusion chromatography coupled with an organic nitrogen detector (SEC-OND) has been developed as a direct method for quantification and characterization of DON. However, the applications of SEC-OND method still subject to poor separations between DON and DIN species and unsatisfied N recoveries of macromolecules. In this study, we packed a series of SEC columns with different lengths and resin materials for separation of different N species and designed an independent vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) oxidation device for complete oxidation converting N species to nitrate. To guarantee sufficient N recoveries, the operation conditions were optimized as oxidation time ≥ 30 min, injection mass (sample concentration × injection volume) < 1000 µL × mg-N/L for macromolecular proteins, and neutral pH mobile eluent. The dissolved O₂ concentration in SEC mobile phase determined the upper limit of VUV oxidation at a specific oxidation time. Compared to conventional HW50S column (20 × 250 mm), HW40S column (20 × 350 mm) with mobile phase comprising of 1.5 g/L Na₂HPO₄·2H₂O + 2.5 g/L KH₂PO₄ (pH = 6.85) could achieve a better separation of DON, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia. When applied to river water, lake water, wastewater effluent, groundwater, and landfill leachate, the SEC-OND method could quantify DON as well as DIN species accurately and conveniently even the DIN/TDN ratio reached 0.98.     

Occurrence of perfluoroalkyl substances in matched human serum, urine, hair and nail

The purpose of this study was to determine perfluoroalkyl substances(PFASs) in human serum, urine, hair and nail from general populations, and to investigate the possibility for human urine, hair and nail used as the biomonitoring sample for PFASs exposure. We detected the concentrations of PFHx A, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFUn DA, PFDo A, PFHx S and PFOS in 39 matched human serum, urine, hair and nail samples from Shenzhen in China. The detection frequency and the median level of PFOS were all higher than that of the other PFASs in four matrices. The median concentration of PFOS in serum, urine, hair, and nail were 9.24 ng/mL, 13.96 ng/L, 0.58 ng/g and 0.63 ng/g, respectively. The results of spearman correlation test indicated that nail was an ideal matrix for biomonitoring PFOS rather than human urine and hair in general populations for the non-invasive sampling.     

Effects of seawater salinity on nitrite accumulation in short-range nitrification to nitrite as end product

The effect of seawater salinity on nitrite accumulation in short-range nitrification to nitrite as the end product was studied by using a SBR. Experimental results indicated that the growth of nitrobacteria was inhibited and very high levels of nitrite accumulation at different salinities were achieved under the conditions of 25--28℃, pH 7.5--8.0, and the influent ammonia nitrogen of 40--70mg/L when seawater flow used to flush toilet was less than 35% (salinity 12393 mg/L, Cl^- 6778mg/L) of total domestic wastewater flow, which is mainly ascribed to much high chlorine concentration of seawater. Results showed that high seawater salinity is available for short-range nitrification to nitrite as the end product. When the seawater flow used to flush toilet accounting for above 70% of the total domestic wastewater flow, the removal efficiency of ammonia was still above 80% despite the removal of organics declined obviously(less than 60% ). It was found that the effect of seawater salinity on the removal of organics was negative rather than positive one as shown for ammonia removal.     

Comparison of annular denuder and filter pack collection of HNO3 (g), HNO2((g), SO2 (g), and particulate-phase nitrate,nitrite and sulfate in the south-west desert

During the 15 January–4 February 1986 SCENES Special Study, a comparison study was conducted to determine atmospheric HNO₃ (g), HNO₂ (g), SO₂ (g), and particle-phase nitrate, nitrite and sulfate sampled with annular diffusion denuder and filter pack sampling systems for 12-h periods. The results of the ion chromatographic analyses of the denuder and filter extracts from the annular denuder system showed that an average of 88% of the total nitrate measured was HNO₃ (g), 97% of the total nitrite was HNO₂ (g), and 91% of the total sulfur was present as SO₂ (g). Analyses of the various gas-phase species collected by replicate annular denuder systems indicated that a precision of ± 3% to ± 18% was achieved using these denuders. The good agreement in HNO₃ (g) concentrations observed between the filter pack and the denuder (r²=0.873, slope=1.06±0.03, intercept=0±3.5 nmol m⁻³) results from the fact that the majority of the atmospheric nitrate consisted of HNO₃ (g), which minimized any positive artifact in HNO₃(g) due to loss of HNO₃(g) from particles collected in the filter pack. The particulate-phase nitrate correlation between the two sampling systems was not as good (r²=0.709, slope=0.519±0.045, intercept =0±1.2 nmol m⁻³) because the lower percentage of nitrate present as the particulate species was more affected by the loss of particulate nitrate during sampling with the filter pack.     

Seasonal and diurnal variations of atmospheric peroxyacetyl nitrate, peroxypropionyl nitrate, and carbon tetrachloride in Beijing

Atmospheric peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN), peroxypropionyl nitrate(PPN), and carbon tetrachloride(CCl4) were measured from September 2010 to August 2011 in Beijing. PAN exhibited low values from mid-autumn to early spring(October to March) with monthly average concentrations ranging from 0.28 to 0.73 ppbV, and increased from early spring to summer(March to August), ranging from 1.37–3.79 ppbV. The monthly variation of PPN was similar to PAN, with low values(below detection limit to 0.18 ppbV) from mid-autumn to early spring, and a monthly maximum in September(1.14 ppbV). The monthly variation of CCl4was tightly related to the variation of temperature, exhibiting a minimum in winter(69.3 pptV) and a maximum of 180.6 pptV in summer. Due to weak solar intensity and short duration, PAN and O3showed no distinct diurnal patterns from morning to night during winter, whereas for other seasons, they both exhibited maximal values in the late afternoon(ca. 15:00 to 16:00 local time) and minimal values during early morning and midnight. Good linear correlations between PAN and PPN were found in autumn(R = 0.91), spring(R = 0.94), and summer(R = 0.81), with slopes of 0.130, 0.222, and 0.133, respectively, suggesting that anthropogenic hydrocarbons dominated the photochemical formation of PANs in Beijing. Positive correlation between PAN and O3 in summer with the low slopes( O3 / PAN) ranging from 9.92 to 18.0 indicated serious air pollution in Beijing, and strong negative correlation in winter reflected strong O3consumption by NO titration and less thermal decompositin of PAN.

Stability of the pH and the contents of ammonium and nitrate in precipitation samples

The changes in the pH and the contents of NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻ and 10 other components including trace elements were studied in precipitation samples for a period of up to 300 days. The concentration of free H⁺ ions is affected after deposition by several processes, the most important being bioconsumption of NH₄⁺ leading to an increase in the H⁺ ion level depending on the length of the sampling interval, the time of year and the way of storing the samples prior to their analysis. It is proposed that, for the purpose of comparing the acidities of precipitation waters and their effects on acidification of the environment, the corrected H⁺ ion concentration (H_c⁺) be calculated from the pH value and the concentrations of NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ (H_c⁺ = H⁺+NH₄⁺−NO₃⁻). The H_c⁺ value depends little on the bioconsumption of NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ after deposition and thus is not very sensitive to the way of storing the samples, the sampling interval and the time elapsed between deposition and the sample analysis. Dissolution of Fe, Al, Si and some trace elements from the particles scavenged during precipitation was slow in the studied samples; it is advantageous to digest the sample in a microwave oven prior to determination of these elements.
