阳宗海沉积物中磷的稳定性

絮凝剂(Fe Cl3)治理阳宗海砷污染的过程中,水体中的磷被大量沉积进入底泥,弄清其是否会在环境条件变化后发生反溶形成二次污染对湖泊富营养化防治具有重要意义。通过模拟实验模拟泥-水界面p H变化、物理扰动和微生物活动的变化,旨在分析这些环境因子变化对沉积物中磷溶出的影响。结果表明,阳宗海水体在目前这种磷浓度下,底泥的磷会随时间的增加而溶出再次造成水体磷污染,当暴露在清洁水条件下时磷的释放率会增加;这种由于絮凝剂吸附沉淀到湖底的磷,在上覆水p H增加0.5时底泥磷解吸附释放速率增加;每年秋季湖泊上下层水的交换活动会造成水体磷浓度的季节性升高,形成不可忽视的磷内源。而夏季水温分层导致湖泊底部厌氧,使厌氧微生物活性增强,这将进一步促进底泥中磷的释放。     

曝气深度对河道底泥特性及水质的影响

采用室内模拟实验方法对受污河道底泥和上覆水进行研究,对比分析静置状态X0和不同曝气深度条件下(分别为水体曝气泥水界面上方10 cm,底泥曝气下方5和15 cm处,依次记为X+10、X-5和X-15)河道底泥特性及水质的影响情况。结果表明:底泥曝气较水体曝气而言,能促进水体DO更快恢复;停止曝气,DO浓度也会维持在较高的状态,有利于有机物和氨氮的进一步去除。在相同曝气量下,底泥曝气比水体曝气能更好地去除底泥中污染物,并减少再次释放,且底泥曝气深度越深,处理效果越好,至实验结束时,X-15组上覆水中COD、NH_4~+-N、TN及TP浓度分别为16.25、3.03、13.39及0.09 mg/L,去除率分别为69.73%、78.36%、45.98%及84.21%;停止曝气后,经曝气处理的底泥对磷的吸附容量显著增加,并且不会再向上覆水中释放污染物,避免引起水体的二次污染。     

溶解氧对河流底泥中三氮释放的影响

作为内源污染的底泥沉积物中营养物的释放引起了越来越多的关注。通过大型静态土柱模拟实验,研究氮在上覆水和孔隙水中的分布特性和释放特性。在控制氧气条件、底泥有机质含量和粒径大小的条件下,连续观测氨态氮、亚硝态氮和硝态氮的浓度及其垂向分布特性。结果发现：时间分布上,通氧条件明显影响水体底泥中三氮释放与反硝化作用达到平衡的时间;垂向分布上,三期实验的上覆水的无机氮以氨态氮为主,不同的通氧条件下,各柱的孔隙水的三氮浓度比上覆水高,且三氮在沉积物中随深度增加而增加;氨态氮和硝态氮浓度则以孔隙水的为高,随深度增加而增加;低溶解氧水平加快底泥释放氨氮速度和增大释放量。     

滴水湖底泥内源营养盐释放行为与曝气运行模式的关系

以滴水湖上覆水及底泥为研究对象,探讨了不同曝气运行模式对滴水湖底泥内源营养盐释放行为的影响,为曝气原位修复滴水湖等滨海盐碱化地区富营养化人工湖泊提供技术参考。结果表明,曝气能有效降低滴水湖上覆水体NH+4-N浓度,但此类滩涂底泥中较高的盐度能促进内源NH+4-N的释放并抑制硝化作用,使其NH+4-N削减率明显低于城市重污染河道;静置组TP浓度有所升高,而间歇曝气组及连续曝气组TP削减率分别为63.6%和38.5%,说明间歇曝气能有效降低上覆水体中的TP浓度;与曝气修复城市重污染河道相比,滴水湖较高的盐度及pH不利于TN去除,其中间歇曝气组对上覆水TN的控制优于连续曝气组与静置组;间歇曝气运行模式更适合于滴水湖等滨海盐碱化地区富营养化人工湖泊的底泥修复。     

原位洗脱技术对凉水河底泥中氮、磷释放特征的影响

为探讨新兴底泥原位修复技术—原位洗脱技术对城市河流凉水河底泥中氮、磷释放的抑制作用,于现场采集洗脱前后样品并设计室内静态模拟实验,分析了实验期间洗脱组和对照组上覆水中NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N、TN、PO_4~(3-)-P、TP浓度和释放速率变化特征。结果表明:洗脱组释放第30天时,NH_4~+-N由底泥向上覆水中平均NH_4~+-N平均浓度为0.52 mg·L~(-1),较对照组下降了89.4%;PO_4~(3-)-P和TP平均释放速率较对照组降低了78.1%和83.0%,上覆水中TP平均浓度为0.22 mg·L~(-1),较对照组下降了68.1%。原位洗脱技术对底泥中NH_4~+-N、PO_4~(3-)-P释放的抑制作用主要通过对有机氮、磷物质的削减和水-沉积物界面还原环境的改善来实现。     

曝气对黑臭河道污染物释放的影响

利用黑臭河道模拟装置,对比研究了在静置和人工曝气2种方式下底泥污染释放特征及对上覆水水质的影响。结果表明,与静置释放相比,人工曝气促使实验前期底泥污染物快速释放,使得上覆水体中的各项污染物指标上升;随着水体中DO浓度的增加,硝化细菌、嗜磷菌等好氧细菌的活性增强,水体中的COD、氨氮、TN和TP得到降解或转化,浓度快速下降。实验期内,人工曝气底泥中TN、TP的平均释放速率分别为:-0.11 g/(m2·d)和-0.02 g/(m2·d),并且TP由最初的0.96 mg/L降到最终的0.48 mg/L,去除率达到50.00%。人工曝气在前期对水体中各污染指标有升高的影响,但增加了水体中的DO浓度,可以有效地抑制底泥中氮和磷的释放,对水体有机污染物、TN及TP有一定的削减作用,因此,该技术适合黑臭河道的水体修复。     

底泥营养释放对城市景观水质影响的模拟研究

通过对天津市卫津河夏末底泥开展室内模拟,探讨重度富营养化河道底泥的氮、磷释放以及与上覆水浮游藻类种群变动的相互关联。结果表明:(1)以富营养湖水为上覆水较之蒸馏水能更快促进底泥氮、磷的释放。以湖水、蒸馏水为上覆水的处理组氨氮极大值分别为4.36、3.61mg/L;溶解性正磷酸盐极大值分别为110.3、81.9μg/L。(2)湖水样品室内培养后,优势蓝、绿藻门的细胞密度与生物量都成倍增长。添加底泥开展培养,蓝藻门和硅藻门快速增殖,绿藻门的生长因溶解性正磷酸盐的竞争与消耗而受到抑制。底泥营养释放导致上覆水层富营养化程度加剧,硅藻门的梅尼小环藻(Cyclotella meneghiniana)被大量检出且增殖迅速。(3)上覆水为蒸馏水时,氮、磷营养自底泥的持续释放,促使绿藻门的土生绿球藻(Chlorococcum humicola)成为绝对优势种,藻类总生物量最高。     

驯化活性污泥处理明胶有机废水的实验

利用驯化活性污泥对组分复杂的明胶有机废水进行有机物降解实验。结果表明,明胶废水的ＢＯＤ５／ＣＯＤｃｒ比值为０．４４－０．４６,ＣＯＤｃｒ进水浓度在１０００－１２００ｍｇ／Ｌ人,ＣＯＤｃｒ和ＢＯＤ５去除率分别达８１％－８３％和８６％－９１％。     

Evaluation of fecal pollution of river sediment by detection of urobilin

In this study, we attempted to establish a new indicator for fecal pollution of river sediment using a sensitive detection method for urobilin. Urobilin contained in sediment was extracted with an alkaline buffer solution. The suitable buffer solution for extraction of urobilin consisted of 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 10.0) containing 0.1 m sodium chloride. The ratio of sediment to buffer was 1:10. The distribution of urobilin in river sediment was studied by this method. The amount of urobilin in the river sediment of Tokyo (urban) and the Miura peninsula (rural) area was surveyed. Large quantities of urobilin were detected in the sediments of the urban rivers, but it was scarce in the rural rivers. Urobilin showed a higher content in sediment than in water. Urobilin in river sediment is distributed in large amounts in the lower reaches, where the water is polluted with domestic sewage and industrial waste, but is scarce in the upper streams. The amount of urobilin decreases to the lower layers.     

电解法去除重污染河水中的磷

近年来,河流污染严重,严重影响了社会的发展,治理河水污染成为目前急需解决的问题。研究了石墨-铁板电极电解法对城市内河中重污染水体中磷去除的可行性;分析了静置时间、电解时长、初始磷浓度、电压、pH及极板间距对电解法除磷效果的影响,确定了电解法处理重污染水体的最佳运行参数,比较了电解法处理实际河水和模拟河水的TP去除效果。结果表明,重污染河流水体中的磷在较短时间内可以得到去除,在静置时间为3 h,电压为10 V,极板间距为1.5cm,pH保持在中性或弱酸性,电解时长在10~15 min时,TP去除率达到90%以上。同时,在最佳运行条件下,电解法处理实际河水效果较好。     

河水受百年一遇大旱后城市降雨径流的污染与治理

2009年入秋至2010年春,中国西南地区发生了百年一遇的特大旱灾。为探讨河水受百年一遇大旱后降雨径流污染的状况,对昆明典型交通干道路面的降雨径流和河水水质进行了监测,分析了大旱后降雨径流污染的严重性和对河水水质的影响,并考察了曝气塘—浮石床水平潜流人工湿地复合系统处理大旱后由城市降雨径流污染导致的重污染河水的效能。结果表明,大旱后的前3场降雨径流污染程度较正常雨季降雨径流污染程度严重,SS、COD、TN及TP浓度平均高出1.3倍。大旱后的前3场降雨径流溢流会对河流造成严重污染。该复合系统在塘调蓄—循环处理运行工况下能有效处理大旱后的重污染河水,对SS、COD、TP、TN和NH4+-N的平均去除率分别为98%、90%、96%、60%和90%,出水均达《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准》(GB 18918—2002)一级A标准。     

Nitrogen transformations and balance in constructed wetlands for slightly polluted river water treatment using different macrophytes

Nitrogen removal processing in different constructed wetlands treating different kinds of wastewater often varies, and the contribution to nitrogen removal by various pathways remains unclear. In this study, the seasonal nitrogen removal and transformations as well as nitrogen balance in wetland microcosms treating slightly polluted river water was investigated. The results showed that the average total nitrogen removal rates varied in different seasons. According to the mass balance approach, plant uptake removed 8.4–34.3 % of the total nitrogen input, while sediment storage and N₂O emission contributed 20.5–34.4 % and 0.6–1.9 % of nitrogen removal, respectively. However, the percentage of other nitrogen loss such as N₂ emission due to nitrification and denitrification was estimated to be 2.0–23.5 %. The results indicated that plant uptake and sediment storage were the key factors limiting nitrogen removal besides microbial processes in surface constructed wetland for treating slightly polluted river water.     

Environmental assessment of different advanced oxidation processes applied to a bleaching Kraft mill effluent

Basic research on remediation of polluted sediment by leaching has, to date, been carried out exclusively with suspended material. For economic reasons, only solid-bed leaching is applicable to large-scale processes. Abiotic and microbial solid-bed leaching were comparatively studied in a percolator system using ripened and therefore permeable heavy metal polluted river sediment. In the case of abiotic leaching, sulfuric acid was supplied to the sediment by circulating water; the lower the pH of the percolating water, the higher the percolation flow, and the lower the solid-bed height was, the faster the heavy metals were solubilized. However, the pH and percolation flow are subjected to restrictions: strongly acidic conditions result in dissolution of mineral components, and the percolation flow must not exceed the bed permeability. And a high solid bed is an economic requirement. In the case of bioleaching, elemental sulfur added to the sediment was oxidized to sulfuric acid within the package which, in turn, solubilized the heavy metals. Here, the percolation flow and the solid-bed height did not affect the rate of metal solubilization. Solid-bed leaching on a larger scale will thus be much more efficient applying bioleaching with sulfur as the leaching agent than abiotic leaching with sulfuric acid.     

Androgenic and antiandrogenic activities in water and sediment samples from the river Lambro, Italy, detected by yeast androgen screen and chemical analyses

The river Lambro is the most polluted tributary of the river Po in North Italy and was chosen as a representative water course discharging industrialized areas. Water and sediment samples of the river Lambro were investigated regarding the presence of endocrine disrupting compounds. A combined procedure was used consisting of solid-phase extraction and HPLC based fractionation of samples, of screening for (anti)androgenic activity using the yeast androgen screen (YAS) and of chemical analysis using HPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS. Androgenic and antiandrogenic activities were found in specific fractions of the water and sediment while the total extracts showed antiandrogenic activity only. The chemical analysis of the fractions and total extracts with antiandrogenic activities revealed the presence of compounds with suspected antiandrogenic potency such as bisphenol A, iprodione, nonylphenol, p,p'-DDE and tert-octylphenol but other unknown compounds contributed mainly to the observed antiandrogenic activities. The antiandrogenic load of the river Lambro ranged between 1.34 and 17.1 microM flutamide-equivalents and may pose a risk to aquatic environments. Future screenings for EDC in the environment that have the potential to interfere with reproduction of aquatic organisms should be extended to different modes of actions including (anti)androgenic ones.     

底泥修复对城市污染河道水体污染修复的影响研究

为开发城市黑臭河道的有效治理方法，利用人工模拟河道就河道底泥对上覆水体的二次污染、底泥污染生物修复对其氮磷营养盐释放及河道水体污染生物修复的影响进行了研究，并对实验结果进行了工程现场应证。研究结果表明：河道污染底泥生物修复状况对上覆水体水质产生大的影响，在底泥不加修复时，底泥污染物释放使水体COD、TP、NH₃-N浓度分别达到30～35 mg/L、0.4～0.5 mg/L和3.0 mg/L，底泥修复后分别为15～20 mg/L、0.1 mg/L和2.5 mg/L；底泥G值（y）与底泥氮、磷污染物释放量（x）呈负相关关系，关系式分别为：y=0.5124x-0.1394（R₂=0.9222），y=0.17772x-0.4781（R₂=0.8701）；结合底泥的生物修复，采用曝气增氧投加生物制剂措施对水体进行生物修复时COD、NH₃-N和PO^3-₄的去除率分别提高13.6%、25.0%和15.7%；对古廖涌的现场治理工程表明，在未对河道底泥进行生物修复的情况下，经过氧化塘预处理河道水体增氧-水体原位强化生物修复等措施的治理，河道中、下游水体又逐渐恢复黑臭，在对河道底泥进行修复后，河道污染水体水质得到显著的改善和提高。     

Contamination of River Kymijoki sediments with polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and mercury and their transport to the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea

Kymijoki, the fourth largest river in Finland, has been heavily polluted by pulp mill effluents as well as the chemical industry. Up to 24,000 ton of wood preservative, chlorophenol known as Ky-5, was manufactured in the upper reaches of the river, an unknown amount of which was discharged into the river between 1940 and 1984. Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) occurred as impurities in the final Ky-5 product. The PCDD/F concentrations and burden in the river sediments were studied and the transport of PCDD/Fs from contaminated sites downstream and into the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea was estimated. More than 190 sediment cores were sampled to estimate the volume of contaminated sediments and the total PCDD/F burden. The transport of PCDD/Fs was estimated using sediment traps placed at several sites. The survey revealed that sediments in the river were heavily polluted by PCDD/Fs, the main toxic congener being 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-heptachlorodibenzofuran, a major contaminant in the Ky-5 product. The mean total concentration at the most polluted river site downstream from the main source was 42000 microg kg(-1) d.w. (106 microg I-TEQ kg(-1)). The elevated concentrations in the coastal region and the present estimated transport from the River Kymijoki confirm earlier assessments that the river is a major source of PCDD/F for the Gulf of Finland.     

The study of distribution and fate of nitrobenzene in a water/sediment microcosm

In November 2005, an explosion occurred at a petrochemical plant of the Jilin Petrochemical Corporation in Jilin Province, China. A nearby water body was seriously polluted with a large spill of toxic substances made up of a mixture of benzene, aniline, and nitrobenzene (NB). To understand the long term impact of NB on public health and ecosystem around the Songhua River, it was necessary to investigate its fate in the environment. In this study, a microcosm was used to mimic the polluted water system and to study the transport and fate of NB in the river water body. The volatility and biodegradation of NB was investigated and a Markov model was applied to predict the fate of NB in the environment. The simulated results matched very well with the results obtained from the microcosm experiment. The model indicated that at room temperature and after around 500 h, there was only residual NB in the water and sediment. Most of the NB (around 82%) evaporated into the air and 18% was degraded by microorganisms.
