ASBBR-二级SBBR-化学除磷组合工艺处理榨菜腌制废水

针对榨菜腌制废水高盐高氮磷高有机物浓度的特征,提出"厌氧序批式生物膜反应器(ASBBR)-二级序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)-化学除磷"组合处理工艺,在前期对组合工艺中单元工艺的关键工况参数研究的基础上,考察组合工艺的处理效能。实验结果表明,采用该组合工艺,可使进水COD、NH4+-N、TN及PO43--P分别为10 000、345、550和38.5mg/L的榨菜腌制废水,处理出水COD、NH4+-N、TN及PO43--P分别达到93.6、12.3、18和0.1 mg/L,去除率分别为99.1%、96.4%、96.7%和99.9%,出水达到污水综合排放一级标准。     

“菌藻-菌”系统处理高浓度有机废水的研究

在藻菌共生流化床光生物反应器与活性污泥的好氧池相结合形成的"菌藻-菌"系统中,对人工配制的高浓度有机废水进行处理研究。主要研究了不同反应时间下,反应器进水、反应器出水、好氧池出水的DO和CO2的浓度变化情况,以及系统对COD、NH4+-N、PO43--P的去除效果,结果表明:藻菌共生之间的联系在一定程度可以通过系统中CO2和DO之间浓度变化的关系来反映;系统对COD、NH4+-N和PO43--P的去除效果较好,去除率最高可分别达到85.0%、73.1%和83.1%,与单独采用藻菌共生流化床光生物反应器处理相比,分别高出14.8%、7.3%和8.8%。     

磷酸铵镁法回收污泥浓缩液中氮磷的影响因素研究

以生物除磷脱氮污水处理厂污泥浓缩液为研究对象,采用正交实验方法,通过测定溶解性磷和NH4+-N的变化探索pH值、[Mg2+]/[PO34-]和[NH4+]/[PO43-]对MAP法回收氮磷效率的影响。研究表明,pH值是影响氮磷回收的一个最重要因素,当pH值达到10时,磷回收率达到最大值(81.9%),当pH值由9上升到11时,氮的去除率随pH值的升高而增加;[Mg2+]/[PO43-]和[NH4+]/[PO43-]都会影响鸟粪石(MAP)法对磷的回收率,比值越大,磷回收率越高,但当比值达到一定值后,磷回收率增长幅度趋于减缓,仅考虑磷的回收效率,[Mg2+]/[PO43-]和[NH4+]/[PO43-]的最优配比分别为1.4和6;氮去除率也受镁磷比和氮磷比的影响,当[Mg2+]/[PO43-]为1.3时,氮去除率最高,而当[NH4+]/[PO43-]为4~8时,氮去除率随着氮磷比的升高而逐渐降低。     

天然橄榄石对水体铜绿微囊藻的去除效果

为开发安全、高效、廉价的水华控制技术,选择铝土矿、磷铁矿、黄铁矿、铬铁矿及橄榄石等10种天然矿物材料,以水体铜绿微囊藻为研究对象,通过跟踪测定其叶绿素a的变化,研究了天然矿物对水体铜绿微囊藻去除特性,并探讨了天然橄榄石去除铜绿微囊藻的影响因素及去除机理。结果表明:相同条件下天然橄榄石具有最高的除藻能力;矿物用量及藻密度对橄榄石除藻过程影响最大,其次为pH及水温,光强影响最小;当橄榄石浓度为1.5 g·L-1,藻密度1.7×106 cells·mL-1、水温15℃、反应介质为弱酸性或中性(pH 5～7)时,吸附1 h后,叶绿素a去除率高于96%。进一步分析可知,天然橄榄石主要通过静电作用对铜绿微囊藻进行吸附,进而使藻细胞絮凝沉降,部分藻细胞破裂分解,同时天然橄榄石在反应过程中吸附培养基中的营养盐,造成藻细胞营养缺少,从而对藻细胞的生长造成一定的抑制作用。     

以再生水为补水的景观水体水华爆发特征调查和药剂应急控藻效果评价

采用现场调查和实验室验证的方法，对以再生水为景观补水的水华优势藻进行了分析。2年的现场调查表明，再生水在条件适合时极易发生水华，且水华的优势藻以小球藻为主。在实验室针对小球藻和铜绿微囊藻进行了竞争生长实验研究，在再生水的氮磷浓度范围内小球藻生长快于铜绿微囊藻，这也验证了再生水作为景观水补水时小球藻是优势藻现场调查结论。针对水华爆发初期和水华爆发验证时2种条件，比较研究了4种以化学成分为主的抑藻药剂对以小球藻为水华特征藻的控藻效果。结果表明，这4种药剂对水华的控制均具有一定的效果，并且水华初期实施药剂抑藻，药剂投加少，且效果好。对4种药剂进行急性毒性实验，只有S2一种药剂在安全浓度时对水华爆发初期有抑藻效果。     

固定化斜生栅藻净化畜禽废水中氨氮和磷的影响因素

为探讨Cu2+、p H和流速对固定化斜生栅藻去除畜禽废水中NH+4-N、TP效果的影响,在实验室条件下模拟实际污水处理过程,并采用正交实验方案对结果进行分析。结果表明低质量浓度Cu2+(0~0.05 mg/L)改善藻的净化效果,高质量浓度Cu2+(0.50~5.00 mg/L)抑制藻的净化效果;在p H较高的条件下(p H=9),固定化斜生栅藻的净化效果明显提高;流速对结果没有明显影响。通过正交实验,得出固定化斜生栅藻去除畜禽废水中NH+4-N、TP的优化条件如下:Cu2+质量浓度为0.05 mg/L,p H为9,流速为0.3 m/s。此时NH+4-N去除率为96.11%,TP去除率为97.53%。     

城市污水厂污泥替代营养盐培养海水小球藻的研究

为了城市污水厂污泥的资源化利用,对污泥替代F/2培养基培养海水小球藻(Chlorella pacifica)进行了研究。首先采用研磨-离心法制备污泥抽提液,将其与F/2培养基按体积比7∶3混合,接种微藻并在优化的条件下培养6 d,逐日测定混合液中无机氮、磷的浓度,培养结束后测定微藻生物量以及干藻中蛋白质、氨基酸和重金属含量。结果表明,将微藻在最佳条件下培养6 d后,混合液中PO34--P、NO2--N、NH4+-N和NO3--N的吸收率分别达到97.32%、96.72%、97.55%和78.13%;与F/2培养基对照组相比,混合液中微藻的生物量增加11.5%;蛋白质、必需氨基酸和非必需氨基酸的含量变化不大。另外,干藻中的重金属含量符合饲料行业标准的要求。

以斜生栅藻和铜绿微囊藻为材料,分析低光照度范围内藻类光合作用特性和呼吸速率,研究曝气对遮光条件下藻类消亡过程的影响.结果表明,(25±1) ℃时斜生栅藻和铜绿微囊藻的光补偿点分别为600、720 lx,呼吸速率分别为89、57 μmol/(mg*h);光照度低于光补偿点,藻类内源呼吸导致水体DO浓度降低;单纯遮光(光照度为0 lx)处理7 d,斜生栅藻和铜绿微囊藻生物量去除率(以OD650计)分别为17.2%和39.1%;增加曝气措施后,斜生栅藻和铜绿微囊藻去除率分别上升到71.3%和92.0%,曝气能有效促进藻类消亡.实验数据拟合结果证明,藻细胞消亡符合藻细胞内源呼吸-衰减模型.     

钝顶螺旋藻(Spirulina platensis)对生活污水的生物净化与修复

探讨了钝顶螺旋藻(Spirulina platensis,SP)对生活污水的生物修复与净化作用。用厨房污水(KW)接种SP后摇瓶光照培养,观察藻细胞在KW中的生长状态,分析其中β-胡萝卜素和C-藻蓝蛋白的含量,并比较接种前和培养10d后KW中BOD、COD、NH3-N、NO3-N和PO4-P质量浓度的变化。结果发现,SP可在KW原液(KW100)和80%(体积分数)KW(KW80)中维持较好生长,并且藻细胞中C-藻蓝蛋白含量明显增加(P0.05)。培养10d后,KW100中BOD、COD、NH3-N、NO3-N和PO34-P的去除率分别为77.6%、75.2%、97.8%、98.2%和64.5%,对KW100中Zn、Se等元素能够有效富集,对一些重金属污染物的去除率也大于50%。研究结果表明,螺旋藻培养对生活污水有较好的生物净化作用。     

Persistence and dissipation kinetics of trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole in onion and soil

The persistence and dissipation kinetics of trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole on onion were studied after application of their combination formulation at a standard and double dose of 75 + 150 and 150 + 300 g a.i. ha^?1. The fungicides were extracted with acetone, cleaned-up using activated charcoal (trifloxystrobin) and neutral alumina (tebuconazole). Analysis was carried out by gas chromatograph (GC) and confirmed by gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The recovery was above 80% and limit of quantification (LOQ) 0.05 mg kg^?1 for both fungicides. Initial residue deposits of trifloxystrobin were 0.68 and 1.01 mg kg^?1 and tebuconazole 0.673 and 1.95 mg kg^?1 from standard and double dose treatments, respectively. Dissipation of the fungicides followed first-order kinetics and the half life of degradation was 6–6.6 days. Matured onion bulb (and field soil) harvested after 30 days was free from fungicide residues. These findings suggest recommended safe pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 14 and 25 days for spring onion consumption after treatment of Nativo 75 WG at the standard and double doses, respectively. Matured onion bulbs at harvest were free from fungicide residues.     

Sorption and Desorption Behavior of Chloroanilines and Chlorophenols on Montmorillonite and Kaolinite

The bioavailability of pollutants, pesticides and/or their degradation products in soil depends on the strength of their sorption by the different soil components, particularly by the clay minerals. This study reports the sorption-desorption behavior of the environmentally hazardous industrial pollutants and certain pesticides degradation products, 3-chloroaniline, 3,4-dichloroaniline, 2,4,6-trichloroaniline, 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on the reference clays kaolinite KGa-1 and Na-montmorillonite SWy-l. In batch studies, 2.0 g of clay were equilibrated with 100.0 mL solutions of each chemical at concentrations ranging from 10.0 to 200.0 mg/L. The uptake of the compounds was deduced from the results of HPLC-UV-Vis analysis. The lipophilic species were best retained by both clay materials. The most lipophilic chemical used in the study, 2,4,6-trichloroaniline, was also the most strongly retained, with sorption of up to 8 mg/g. In desorption experiments, which also relied on HPLC-UV-Vis technique, 2,4,6-trichloroaniline was the least desorbed from montmorillonite. However, on kaolinite all of the compounds under study were irreversibly retained. The experimental data have been modelled according to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. A hypothesis is proposed concerning the sorption mechanism and potential applications of the findings in remediation strategies have been suggested.     

Synthesis and characterization of m- and p-methylbenzyl-mercapturic acids derived from m- and p-xylenes

Chemical synthesis and physical properties of two mercapturic acids suggested as urinary metabolites of m- and p-xylenes ace described. These compounds may be used for the identification and quantivative determination by high-performance liquid chromatography of the corresponding mercapturic acids in urine.     

Levels of PCDDs and PCDFs in products and effluent from the Swedish pulp and paper industry and chloralkali process

Within the Swedish Dioxin Survey various samples from the pulp and paper industry and the chloralkali process have been analyzed by congener specific analytical methods. In addition to the generally discussed “bleaching pattern” of the tetrachlorinated congeners, these samples also contained higher chlorinated congeners like hexa-CDDs, hepta-CDFs, octa-CDD and octa-CDF. Consequently it is recommended that samples from the pulp industry should be analyzed for all PCDDs and PCDFs (tetra- through octa-). Counted as Nordic Toxic Equivalents (NTEQ), the recycled pulp samples had the highest contamination level followed by TMP, unbleached sulfite and bleached softwood and hardwood. In addition to the bleaching process, various chemicals used in the pulping, bleaching and wastewater treatment can contribute to the contamination.     

Field and laboratory studies of the fate and enantiomeric enrichment of venlafaxine and O-desmethylvenlafaxine under aerobic and anaerobic conditions

The stereoselectivity of R,S-venlafaxine and its metabolites R,S-O-desmethylvenlafaxine, N-desmethylvenlafaxine, O,N-didesmethylvenlafaxine, N,N-didesmethylvenlafaxine and tridesmethylvenlafaxine was studied in three processes: (i) anaerobic and aerobic laboratory scale tests; (ii) six wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operating under different conditions; and (iii) a variety of wastewater treatments including conventional activated sludge, natural attenuation along a receiving river stream and storage in operational and seasonal reservoirs. In the laboratory and field studies, the degradation of the venlafaxine yielded O-desmethylvenalfaxine as the dominant metabolite under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Venlafaxine was almost exclusively converted to O-desmethylvenlafaxine under anaerobic conditions, but only a fraction of the drug was transformed to O-desmethylvenlafaxine under aerobic conditions. Degradation of venlafaxine involved only small stereoisomeric selectivity. In contrast, the degradation of O-desmethylvenlafaxine yielded remarkable S to R enrichment under aerobic conditions but none under anaerobic conditions. Determination of venlafaxine and its metabolites in the WWTPs agreed well with the stereoselectivity observed in the laboratory studies. Our results suggest that the levels of the drug and its metabolites and the stereoisomeric enrichment of the metabolite and its parent drug can be used for source tracking and for discrimination between domestic and nondomestic wastewater pollution. This was indeed demonstrated in the investigations carried out at the Jerusalem WWTP.     

Uptake and translocation of metformin, ciprofloxacin and narasin in forage- and crop plants

Transfer of bioactive organic compounds from soil to plants might represent animal and human health risks. Sewage sludge and manure are potential sources for bioactive compounds such as human- and veterinary drugs. In the present study, uptake of the anti-diabetic compound, metformin, the antibiotic agent ciprofloxacin and the anti-coccidial narasin in carrot (Daucuscarota ssp. sativus cvs. Napoli) and barley (Hordeumvulgare) were investigated. The pharmaceuticals were selected in order to cover various chemical properties, in addition to their presence in relevant environmental matrixes. The root concentration factors (RCF) found in the present study were higher than the corresponding leaf concentration factors (LCF) for the three test pharmaceuticals. The uptake of metformin was higher compared with ciprofloxacin and narasin for all plant compartments analyzed. Metformin was studied more explicitly with regard to uptake and translocation in meadow fescue (Festucapratense), three other carrot cultivars (D.carota ssp. sativus cvs. Amager, Rothild and Nutri Red), wheat cereal (Triticumaestivum) and turnip rape seed (Brassicacampestris). Uptake of metformin in meadow fescue was comparable with uptake in the four carrot cultivars (RCF 2-10, LCF approximately 1.5), uptake in wheat cereals were comparable with barley cereals (seed concentration factors, SCF, 0.02-0.04) while the accumulation in turnip rape seeds was as high as 1.5. All three pharmaceuticals produced negative effects on growth and development of carrots when grown in soil concentration of 6-10 mg kg⁻¹ dry weight.     

Sources and distribution of polychlorinated-dibenzo-p-dioxins and -dibenzofurans in soil and sediment from the Yellow Sea region of China and Korea

Polychlorinated-dibenzo-p-dioxins and -dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) were measured in soils and sediments from the Yellow Sea region. Korean soils and sediments mostly contained detectable PCDD/Fs and showed a widespread distribution among locations. Soil and sedimentary PCDD/Fs from China were comparable to or less than those in Korea. The patterns of relative concentrations of individual congeners in soils were different between the two countries, but similar in sediments. Sources of PCDD/Fs in China and Korea were found to be independent of each other and their distributions reflected matrix-dependent accumulation. Spatial distribution indicated some point sources in Korea while Chinese sources were more widespread and diffuse. PCDD/Fs measured in the coastal areas of the Yellow Sea were comparable to or less than those previously reported in for eastern Asia. However, ∑TEQs in soils and sediments were near to or, in some cases exceeded environmental quality guidelines.     

Copper-catalyzed chlorination and condensation of acetylene and dichloroacetylene

The chlorination and condensation of acetylene at low temperatures is demonstrated using copper chlorides as chlorinated agents coated to model borosilicate surfaces. Experiments with and without both a chlorine source and borosilicate surfaces indicate the absence of gas-phase and gas-surface reactions. Chlorination and condensation occur only in the presence of the copper catalyst. C₂ through C₈ organic products were observed in the effluent; PCDD/F were only observed from extraction of the borosilicate surfaces. A global reaction model is proposed that is consistent with the observed product distributions. Similar experiments with dichloroacetylene indicate greater reactivity in the absence of the copper catalyst. Reaction is observed in the gas-phase and in the presence of borosilicate surfaces at low temperatures. The formation of hexachlorobenzene is only observed in the presence of a copper catalyst. PCDD/F were only observed from extraction of the borosilicate surfaces. A global reaction model is proposed for the formation of hexachlorobenzene from dichloroacetylene.     

Aerobic and anaerobic degradation of profluralin and trifluralin

Abstract

The degradation of profluralin [N‐(cyclopropylmethyl)‐α,α,α‐trifluoro‐2,6‐dinitro‐N‐propyl‐]p‐toluidine] and trifluralin (α,α,α‐trifluoro‐2,6‐dinitro‐N,N‐dipropyl‐p‐toluidine) was studied under aerobic and anaerobic soil conditions. Three soils (Goldsboro loamy sand, Cecil loamy sand, Drummer clay loam) were each treated with 1 ppmw herbicide; anaerobic conditions were maintained by flooding. Soil samples were extracted monthly and subjected to TLC analysis. No degradation was detected in sterile controls. Aerobic degradation of both herbicides was greatest in the Cecil loamy sand soil over the entire incubation period. Degradation of profluralin in Cecil soil under aerobic conditions was 86 percent after 4 months with three products detected; 83 percent of the trifluralin was degraded with two products detected. Anaerobic degradation accounted for 72 percent of the profluralin and 78 percent of the trifluralin after 4 months. Degradation of both herbicides increased with incubation time for the first 3 months and decreased slightly thereafter. Generally there was more extensive degradation (percent and in number of products formed) of profluralin than trifluralin under the conditions tested. More degradation products were detected for both herbicides under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions.     

Sorption and desorption of Cu and Cd by macroalgae and microalgae

The sorption and desorption of Cu and Cd by two species of brown macroalgae and five species of microalgae were studied. The two brown macroalgae, Laminaria japonica and Sargassum kjellmanianum, were found to have high capacities at pHs between 4.0 and 5.0 while for microalgae, optimum pH lay at 6.7. The presence of other cations in solution was found to reduce the sorption of the target cation, suggesting a competition for sorption sites on organisms. Sorption isotherms obeyed the Freundlich equation, suggesting involvement of a multiplicity of mechanisms and sorption sites. For the microalgae tested, Spirulina platensis had the highest capacity for Cd, followed by Nannochloropsis oculata, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Platymonas cordifolia and Chaetoceros minutissimus. The reversibility of metal sorption by macroalgae was examined and the results show that both HCl and EDTA solutions were very effective in desorbing sorbed metal ions from macroalgae, with up to 99.5% of metals being recovered. The regenerated biomass showed undiminished sorption performance for the two metals studied, suggesting the potential of such material for use in water and wastewater treatment.
