采用间歇实验,研究不同初始pH、Fe2+投加量、COD/SO24-及NO3-/SO24-比值等因素对SRB还原硫酸盐效果与速率的影响。实验结果表明:中性条件下(pH=7),硫酸盐的去除效果最佳,去除率达到84.66%,还原速率为15.07 mg/(L.h),在初始pH为4～9的范围内,体系具有较好的缓冲能力;当COD/SO24-比值为3时,反应209 h,硫酸盐去除率为85.33%,还原速率为8.16 mg/(L.h),随着反应的进行,体系的pH趋于中性;当溶液中有亚铁离子存在,且浓度为0～200 mg/L时可促进硫酸盐还原菌的生长,提高其对硫酸盐的去除率;NO3-对硫酸盐的还原有明显的抑制作用。     

对乙酰氨基苯磺酰氯生产废水的UASB处理及硫酸盐的影响

采用UASB处理以甲醇为有机溶剂的对乙酰氨基苯璜酰氯(p-ASC)生产废水。通过逐步减少HRT,考察有机负荷(OLR)从2.0 g COD/(L·d)逐步提高到24.0 g COD/(L·d)过程中反应器处理效果的变化。结果表明,在最优的OLR 7.0 g COD/(L·d)的条件下,p-ASC和COD的去除率分别能达到76%和100%。虽然进水没有硫酸盐,但是出水却有硫化物和硫酸盐的产生。进一步保持最优的OLR条件下的HRT(0.45 d)不变,逐步增加进水p-ASC浓度到1 100 mg/L,产甲烷菌没有发现受到抑制。持续增加进水硫酸盐浓度到3 000 mg/L,发现硫酸盐还原菌没有受到抑制,但是产甲烷菌却受到抑制,最后减少硫酸盐浓度到1 000 mg/L,厌氧系统在1周后几乎完全恢复。     

厌氧硫酸盐还原-氨氧化的研究

采用厌氧序批式反应器,在无机营养条件下培养历时354 d,成功实现了SO2-4和NH+4的同步生物去除。结果表明,提高进水的TN负荷有利于促进硫酸盐还原-氨氧化的发生,当进水TN负荷提高到120 mg/(L·d)时,对TN的平均去除速率和硫酸盐硫的平均去除速率达到了最大,分别为64.43 mg/(L·d)和44.82 mg/(L·d);在同步生物脱氮除硫前期生成了大量的NO-3-N,平均浓度为53.88 mg/L,远大于由Anammox反应生成的量,推测部分NO-3是直接由NH+4和SO2-4发生氧化还原反应生成。该体系中存在单质硫的自养反硝化,可以解释反应后期硫酸盐重生成的现象。     

新型碳源驯化的SRB去除酸性矿山废水中SO_4~(2-)最佳反应条件

Modelling the formation and atmospheric transport of secondary inorganic aerosols with special attention to regions with high ammonia emissions

Regional simulations of sulfate, nitrate and ammonium aerosols were performed by a nested application of the online-coupled three-dimensional Eulerian model system COSMO-MUSCAT. This was done in a domain covering the northern part of Germany and surrounding regions for the full month of May and a 6-week period in August/September 2006 with the primary focus on secondary inorganic aerosol levels caused by ammonia emissions from domesticated animals and agricultural operations.The results show that in situations with westerly winds ammonium nitrate dominates with concentrations of about 5–10 μg m^?3 whereas the ammonium sulfate concentrations are about 5 μg m^?3. In situations with winds mainly from the East characterized by warmer and dryer air the ammonium sulfate concentrations have their maximum at about 10 μg m^?3 whereas at the same time no ammonium nitrate is present.A reduction of agricultural NH₃ emissions by 50% in a regional scale reduces the ammonium nitrate concentrations to a maximum of 30%, while the ammonium sulfate concentrations are unchanged. The reduction of NH₃ emissions in a more limited area (here in the Federal state of Germany Niedersachsen) does have no noticeable effect neither on ammonium sulfate nor on ammonium nitrate.     

Effect of inorganic and organic solutes on zero-valent aluminum-activated hydrogen peroxide and persulfate oxidation of bisphenol A

The effect of varying inorganic (chloride, nitrate, sulfate, and phosphate) and organic (represented by humic acid) solutes on the removal of aqueous micropollutant bisphenol A (BPA; 8.8 μM; 2 mg/L) with the oxidizing agents hydrogen peroxide (HP; 0.25 mM) and persulfate (PS; 0.25 mM) activated using zero-valent aluminum (ZVA) nanoparticles (1 g/L) was investigated at a pH of 3. In the absence of the solutes, the PS/ZVA treatment system was superior to the HP/ZVA system in terms of BPA removal rates and kinetics. Further, the HP/ZVA process was not affected by nitrate (50 mg/L) addition, whereas chloride (250 mg/L) exhibited no effect on the PS/ZVA process. The negative effect of inorganic anions on BPA removal generally speaking increased with increasing charge in the following order: NO₃^? (no inhibition)?<?Cl^? (250 mg/L)?=?SO₄^2??<?PO₄^3? for HP/ZVA and Cl^? (250 mg/L; no inhibition)?<?NO₃^??<?SO₄^2??<?PO₄^3? for PS/ZVA. Upon addition of 20 mg/L humic acid representing natural organic matter, BPA removals decreased from 72 and 100% in the absence of solutes to 24 and 57% for HP/ZVA and PS/ZVA treatments, respectively. The solute mixture containing all inorganic and organic solutes together partly suppressed the inhibitory effects of phosphate and humic acid on BPA removals decreasing to 46 and 43% after HP/ZVA and PS/ZVA treatments, respectively. Dissolved organic carbon removals were obtained in the range of 30 and 47% (the HP/ZVA process), as well as 47 and 57% (the PS/ZVA process) for the experiments in the presence of 20 mg/L humic acid and solute mixture, respectively. The relative Vibrio fischeri photoluminescence inhibition decreased particularly for the PS/ZVA treatment system, which exhibited a higher treatment performance than the HP/ZVA treatment system.     

零价铁与厌氧微生物协同还原地下水中的硝基苯

通过间歇式实验,考察了零价铁与厌氧微生物协同还原地下水中硝基苯的效果。实验结果表明,由零价铁腐蚀为厌氧微生物提供H2电子供体还原硝基苯的效果明显优于零价铁和微生物单独作用,硝基苯去除率分别提高21.8%和57.0%。弱酸性条件有利于协同反应进行,当初始pH为5.0和6.0时,4 d后硝基苯去除率比初始pH为7.0时的提高74.4%和35.2%。增加零价铁投加量可提高协同还原的效果,零价铁最佳投加量为250 mg/L。零价铁腐蚀产生的Fe2+无法作为电子供体被微生物利用,但可作为无机营养元素促进协同过程。由于零价铁产H2速率受表面覆盖物影响不明显,在地下水修复过程中可保证协同效果并延长零价铁的使用寿命。     

Bioaugmented sulfate reduction using enriched anaerobic microflora in the presence of zero valent iron

Biological sulfate reduction was evaluated in batch and continuous reactors that were inoculated with enriched microflora cultivated from sulfate laden medium. Heterotrophic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) principally reduced the sulphate when the chemical oxygen demand was sufficient. The heterotrophic SRB in the enriched microflora could not efficiently reduce sulphate at T<33 °C and/or pH<6.0. However, when 200 mg L(-1) of zero valent iron (ZVI) was added to the reactor, the sulphate reduction rate was increased by 15% while the inhibition of the SRB activity occurred at T<25 °C or pH<4.5, broader than those noted for non-ZVI systems. In batch tests, the autotrophic SRB reduced 95% of 1500 mg L(-1) sulphate in <50h at 15 °C when the substrate was amended with 8 gL(-1) ZVI. In continuous up-flow anaerobic multiple bed reactor tests conducted to evaluate the remediation of sulphate in acid mine runoff, ZVI enhanced the activity of SRB, resulting in a 61% reduction of 20.8 gL(-1) sulphate when the reactor was operated at 25 °C and pH 2.6 with a hydraulic remain time of 96 h.     

Microbial reduction of sulfate injected to gas condensate plumes in cold groundwater

Despite a rapid expansion over the past decade in the reliance on intrinsic bioremediation to remediate petroleum hydrocarbon plumes in groundwater, significant research gaps remain. Although it has been demonstrated that bacterial sulfate reduction can be a key electron accepting process in many petroleum plumes, little is known about the rate of this reduction process in plumes derived from crude oil and gas condensates at cold-climate sites (mean temperature <10 degrees C), and in complex hydrogeological settings such as silt/clay aquitards. In this field study, sulfate was injected into groundwater contaminated by gas condensate plumes at two petroleum sites in Alberta, Canada to enhance in-situ bioremediation. In both cases the groundwater near the water table had low temperature (6-9 degrees C). Monitoring data had provided strong evidence that bacterial sulfate reduction was a key terminal electron accepting process (TEAP) in the natural attenuation of dissolved hydrocarbons at these sites. At each site, water with approximately 2000 mg/L sulfate and a bromide tracer was injected into a low-sulfate zone within a condensate-contaminant plume. Monitoring data collected over several months yielded conservative estimates for sulfate reduction rates based on zero-order kinetics (4-6 mg/L per day) or first-order kinetics (0.003 and 0.01 day(-1)). These results favor the applicability of in-situ bioremediation techniques in this region, under natural conditions or with enhancement via sulfate injection.     

Evaluation of the toxicity of substances to be assessed for biodegradability

The ability to distinguish between true non-biodegradability, and inhibition of biodegradability due to the toxic effects of the compound tested present problems. It results in possible false identification of substances as non-biodegradable.Six chemicals were evaluated in a variety of tests to assess their toxicity to aerobic sludge organisms. The tests employed were: BOD₅ and Closed Bottle inhibition tests, inhibition of respiration of activated sludge, growth inhibition of activated sludge, light emission from (MICROTOX test) and the repetitive die-away test (RDA). Results from these tests were compared with results obtained from a number of ready biodegradability tests using the compounds listed above at anticipated non-toxic and toxic concentrations.No test method evaluated consistently forecast toxicity due to the chemicals tested. The MICROTOX and nitrification inhibition tests were too sensitive. A combination of sludge respiration rate and/or growth tests seem most appropriate. To avoid toxicity to the sludge, biodegradability testing should be made at 10% of the EC₅₀ value. Compounds with an EC₅₀ value greater than 300 mg/l are unlikely to be toxic in ready biodegradability tests. Compounds with an EC₅₀ value of less than 20 mg/l may pose problems necessitating the use of the stringent closed bottle test, or the use of C¹⁴ labelled test materials. Compounds with an intermediate EC₅₀ that is between 20–300 mg/l, need to be evaluated at a range of concentrations in biodegradability tests, or may need to be evaluated carefully to define the precise no-effect level. Procedure recommendations to distinguish between the inhibition of biodegradability and inertness of the test substance are made.
