污泥龄对低氧丝状菌活性污泥微膨胀系统的影响

为了研究污泥龄(SRT)对低氧丝状菌活性污泥微膨胀系统的影响,采用序批式间歇反应器(SBR)进行试验,分别按照厌氧/好氧和单级好氧的方式运行,考察了不同SRT下丝状菌污泥微膨胀系统的沉降性、脱氮除磷过程以及污泥特性的变化.结果表明,在好氧水力停留时间充分的条件下,低氧环境不但不会影响丝状菌微膨胀污泥的硝化进程,而且还有助于同步硝化反硝化(SND)、单级好氧除磷的发生.厌氧/好氧运行时,SRT与活性污泥的比硝化速率、比释磷速率和比吸磷速率成反比,与SND率和污泥的含磷量成正比.单级好氧运行时,减小SRT对硝化过程影响不大,但是有助于改善除磷效果.活性污泥的比耗氧速率(SOUR)、胞外聚合物(EPS)中多糖与蛋白质含量的比值、以及粘度都与SRT成反比.适当地减小SRT可以改善丝状菌微膨胀污泥的沉降性.厌氧/好氧运行时,厌氧段微氧环境易引发过度丝状菌污泥膨胀;单级好氧运行时,SRT过低会造成污泥黏性骤增而引发黏性污泥膨胀.     

污泥龄对A~2/O工艺脱氮除磷效果的影响

污泥龄(SRT)作为活性污泥法设计与运行的参数已显示出比其它参数更加重要。试验以实际生活污水为对象,研究SRT分别为5、10、15、20、25、30d时,系统CODCr、NH4+-N、TN、PO43-P的去除率以及污泥特性的变化,试验期间其它运行参数保持不变。试验结果表明:SRT=15d时系统总体脱氮除磷效果最好,此时CODCr、NH4+-N、TN、PO43-P去除率分别为:93%、98%、81%、82%,并对SRT=15d时系统中氮磷的浓度变化曲线进行分析。     

SRT对于污水脱氮过程中N2O产生的影响

试验采用经过长期驯化,控制污泥龄分别为9d和15d的活性污泥,以实际生活污水为研究对象,考察了不同污泥龄(SRT)对污水脱氮过程中N2O的产生量和转化率的影响.结果表明N2O主要产生于污水脱氮的硝化过程中,而反硝化过程的贡献较少.较短的污泥龄有利于脱氮过程中N2O的产生,9d污泥龄的活性污泥系统产生N2O量是15d污泥龄污泥系统的1.2倍,分别为4.62mg·L-1和3.8mg·L-1.不同污泥龄条件下产生N2O的转化率也有所差别,污泥龄较短的活性污泥系统产生N2O的转化率也较高,分别为11.2%和7.8%.系统经长期在较短的污泥龄下运行,并没有影响系统的脱氮效果,两种污泥龄条件下系统的脱氮率都在96%以上.为了减少污水脱氮过程中N20的产生量,应避免污水处理系统过短的污泥龄,造成污水脱氮过程N2O的产量和转化率的大幅升高.     

污水处理中影响因素及其最佳操作条件的确定

采用正交试验设计法在厦门杏林污水处理厂进行试验 ,通过极差分析和方差分析确定污泥负荷和污泥龄是活性污泥法去除污水中有机污染物和磷的显著影响因素 ;其最佳操作条件为HRT =5h ,F/M>0 0 5kg (BOD5 ) /kg (MLSS) ;SRT =2 3-4 0d ,可生化比 >4 5,温度 =1 5-33℃。     

利用浓缩污泥对污水中污染物的连续回收试验

为了回收污水中的有机物、氮和磷以便资源化,在工艺流程为好氧活化-好氧吸附-厌氧释放连续流处理系统中,研究了浓缩污泥对模拟生活污水中污染物的吸附及污泥中污染物的厌氧释放,确定了活化浓缩污泥所需时间,揭示了吸附段HRT对污泥吸附效果的影响及厌氧释放段pH对污泥中污染物释出的影响. 结果表明,污水厂浓缩污泥好氧活化120 min以上即可提高其对污染物的吸附/吸收能力. 控制吸附段HRT为25～50 min和污泥负荷〔N_s,为投配COD_Cr量(kg)/污泥量(kg·d)〕为3～5 kg/(kg·d),系统运行良好. 活化污泥对COD_Cr,NH₄+-N和PO₄3--P的最大去除率分别为86.78%,64.78%和75.5%. 在连续厌氧释放段,pH对各污染物释放的影响不尽相同,在pH为11.0,SRT为3 d的条件下,COD_Cr,NH₄+-N和PO₄3--P分别被浓缩了3.6,1.3和8.4倍.      

CIBR污泥对生活污水中氨氮的吸附性能分析

对连续流间歇生物反应器(CIBR)污泥吸附生活污水低浓度氨氮的性能进行了实验研究。研究表明:CIBR工艺好氧段和缺氧段活性污泥和灭活污泥的氨氮吸附能力均较差,但活性污泥的吸附能力强于灭活污泥; CIBR缺氧初期活性污泥对不同进水浓度的氨氮的吸附率只有10%左右,且吸附量与吸附率呈负相关,并通过缺氧不同水力停留时间(HRT)实验证实污泥对氨氮的吸附存在饱和吸附容量为1. 02 mg NH4+-N/g VSS;污泥对氨氮的吸附遵循线性模型和Freundlich模型,表明污泥对氨氮的吸附以多分子层的不均匀吸附模式为主;好氧/缺氧/厌氧污泥环境变化对污泥吸附生活污水中低浓度氨氮能力的影响不明显,平均吸附率为8. 6%。     

短泥龄活性污泥系统碳磷污染物去除机制及微生物结构分析

在污泥停留时间（SRT）为3 d的条件下,探究了不同水力停留时间（HRT）条件下（4、6、8、12和16 h）的超短龄活性污泥系统碳、磷去除效果、机制,以及微生物群落结构特征.结果表明,在HRT=8 h及以上时短活性污泥系统才会有稳定的碳、磷去除效果,去除率分别能达到80%和90%以上;去除机理为吸附和生物作用,但COD和磷以吸附的方式去除比例随HRT的延长而减小,分别从47.2%和89.1%降低至35.9%和33.6%.微生物群落结构分析表明,短SRT系统中主要的优势微生物种类与传统活性污泥系统相似,除磷由传统聚磷菌（PAOs）和反硝化聚磷菌（DPAOs）共同完成,相对丰度随着HRT的延长而增加.     

活性污泥反应器流态研究中示踪剂的选择

针对活性污泥反应器中的流态研究需要,通过备选示踪剂氯化锂、亚甲蓝和氯化钠的污泥吸附试验以及曝气静沉试验,研究了活性污泥对这3种示踪剂的吸附作用,以及示踪剂浓度对污泥处理效果的影响。结果表明,亚甲蓝易被污泥吸附,对试验数据干扰较大,且吸附亚甲蓝后,水样中污泥对CODCr的处理效率降幅达50%以上;氯化锂和氯化钠是离子型示踪剂,本身不易被吸附,投加后的活性污泥对CODCr的处理效率基本不变,保持在70%以上。从示踪剂投加量以及出水水质控制方面考虑,确定氯化锂为3种示踪剂中的最佳示踪剂。     

不同污泥龄下腐殖土SBR工艺运行效果

以模拟生活污水培养驯化污泥的小试规模腐殖土SBR工艺为研究对象,进行了污泥龄(SRT)为5、10和15 d时对脱氮除磷的影响研究。结果表明,随着污泥龄的延长,SRT对COD的去除几乎没影响,COD去除率达90%~92%;TN去除率略有下降,但不同SRT下处理效果差别不大;TP的去除率逐渐提高,处理效果很好,出水浓度分别为0.84、0.42和0.37 mg/L。该文试验条件下,以SRT为15 d时系统脱氮除磷效果为最好。结果还表明,聚磷菌厌氧利用单位PHA释磷量及好氧利用单位PHA吸磷量在SRT为10 d时达到最高,5 d次之,15 d最低。但聚磷量/吸磷量比值却是随着SRT延长而增加。聚糖菌利用PHA合成糖原量随着SRT延长逐渐减少。总的来说,聚糖菌在长泥龄中的比例是下降的,聚磷菌仍然占据优势。这有益于解决同步脱氮除磷中有关污泥龄的矛盾,从而有利于腐殖土SBR工艺系统的推广和应用。     

胞外聚合物EPS组成及对污泥特性的影响研究

综述了进水基质、溶解氧(DO)、pH、污泥停留时间(SRT)和污泥负荷(Ns)对EPS组成的影响,分析了EPS对污泥的表面特性(污泥混合液疏水性、Zeta电位等)、生物絮凝沉降性、脱水性及吸附再生性能的影响,并通过控制适当的条件,改善EPS组成,形成良好的活性污泥,能使之更好的发挥作用.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
