活化粉煤灰改性壳聚糖絮凝除藻的研究

将活化后的粉煤灰滤液对壳聚糖进行改性,研究其絮凝除藻性能.实验表明,改性后的壳聚糖除藻性能优良,较少的用量(0.5 mL)可去除接近90%的藻.而分泌可溶性的胞外有机物(EOM)会优先争夺絮凝剂--壳聚糖,导致其投加量增加.适当增加改性壳聚糖投加量可以使藻絮体密实,增强抗水流冲击能力,由此展开改性壳聚糖投加量与絮凝除藻的动力学研究.最后,测定了絮凝上清液的藻光合活性,发现投加改性壳聚糖后有效降低了藻光合活性,防止水华二次爆发.     

溶藻细菌L8的溶藻活性代谢产物对水华鱼腥藻光合特性的影响研究

从广州城区某富营养化池塘筛选出1株溶藻细菌L8(简称L8菌),研究了L8菌的溶藻活性代谢产物(简称L8菌溶藻产物)对水华鱼腥藻(Anabaena flos-aquae)光合特性的影响。结果表明,L8菌溶藻产物能够使水华鱼腥藻中的类胡萝卜素、藻蓝蛋白和别藻蓝蛋白的含量显著升高,经L8菌溶藻产物作用7d后,3者分别升高了35.7%、63.2%和185.7%,而叶绿素a含量下降了51.3%;经L8菌溶藻产物作用7d后,水华鱼腥藻的光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的光化学效率、潜在活性以及光合电子产量均明显降低。低温(77K)荧光发射光谱的变化表明,光合色素相对含量的变化导致光能在水华鱼腥藻2个光系统之间的分配发生了变化,影响了光能在光系统Ⅰ(PSⅠ)、PSⅡ中的分配,进而影响了水华鱼腥藻的光合作用效率。     

壳聚糖改性高岭土去除水中常见藻类的试验研究

采用壳聚糖改性高岭土去除水中常见藻类。结果表明:在沉降时间为3h、壳聚糖与高岭土的质量比为1∶20、高岭土投加量为20mg/L时,壳聚糖改性高岭土除藻效果最好,叶绿素a、藻细胞去除率分别达到97%、79%;壳聚糖改性高岭土除藻能力显著提高,沉降时间为10min时,藻细胞、叶绿素a去除率分别可达到67%、82%,沉降速率较快。     

壳聚糖改性粘土对高藻水中藻类的絮凝去除

对壳聚糖改性粘土用于天然高藻水中藻类的絮凝去除进行了研究。实验表明,经壳聚糖改性后的粘土对高藻水中藻细胞有较好的去除效果。粘土的种类对除藻效果有一定影响,其中以高粘凹凸棒石为最佳,其最佳投加量为66mg/L(壳聚糖6 mg/L),此时的叶绿素去除率达到95.45%。相比单独投加壳聚糖,粘土的加入增加了絮体密实度,减少了絮体体积,并使絮体分布更均匀。粘土的粒径对絮凝效果基本没有影响,粒径范围在25～74μm时,改性粘土对藻细胞的凝聚效果是一致的。经壳聚糖改性的粘土在酸性条件下絮凝效果较好,当pH值大于7时,其絮凝能力迅速下降。     

壳聚糖改性红壤去除铜绿微囊藻

研究了聚合氯化铝铁和壳聚糖改性对高岭土、海泡石和红壤去除水中铜绿微囊藻效果的影响。结果表明,壳聚糖改性的红壤对铜绿微囊藻的去除效果最好,其生成絮体密实度大,抗扰动能力强。当改性红壤的投加量为50 mg/L时,叶绿素a和铜绿微囊藻去除率分别达到98.0%、95.1%。该絮凝剂适应性好,在pH为3.0~6.0的范围内对铜绿微囊藻均可取得很好的去除效果,对叶绿素a和浊度的去除率可达90%以上。壳聚糖通过包裹红壤颗粒,借助壳聚糖的粘结架桥和电中和能力,大幅度提高了红壤的絮凝性能。该絮凝剂处理富藻水,具有絮凝效果明显、絮体密实度大、投加量少、绿色环保、经济等优点,在工程上具有较大的实用价值。     

阳离子化壳聚糖改性黏土絮凝去除藻华

壳聚糖改性黏土可以用于治理藻华,但未经改性的壳聚糖具有电荷密度小、溶解度小、pH适用范围较窄以及分子质量较小等缺点,影响了壳聚糖改性黏土除藻的性能。为了优化壳聚糖的絮凝除藻性能,以二甲基二烯丙基氯化铵为阳离子醚化剂,在微波条件下对壳聚糖进行改性合成阳离子型壳聚糖,并研究了阳离子壳聚糖溶解度随pH的变化,以及用它改性后的黏土颗粒的表面电位的变化,并对阳离子壳聚糖改性黏土和壳聚糖改性黏土的絮凝除藻性能进行比较。结果表明,阳离子壳聚糖在酸性和碱性条件下都具有很好的溶解性,经其改性后的黏土颗粒的等电点(pH 10.8)显著高于壳聚糖改性黏土的等电点(pH 9.5)。在絮凝实验中,阳离子壳聚糖改性黏土的最大除藻率达到99%,藻絮体粒径为978μm,即使在pH为10时,仍有87%的去除率。结果表明,阳离子壳聚糖改性黏土的除藻性能明显优于未改性的壳聚糖改性黏土。     

藻类生长期对改性蛭石絮凝除藻的影响

以水华微囊藻为研究对象,采用壳聚糖改性蛭石,研究了藻类不同生长期的除藻效果及其影响机制,结果表明平均藻细胞去除率为:对数期稳定期衰亡期迟缓期衰亡后期,衰亡后期EOM含量是对数期的4.6倍,藻细胞去除率仅为30%左右,是对数期的1/3。其原因与不同生长期Zeta电位和胞外分泌物(EOM)的变化有关,衰亡后期的电负性显著增强,且EOM含量也显著增大。过量的EOM会增大改性蛭石的投加量,当达到相同去除率时,未移除EOM藻液的投加量是移除EOM藻液的3倍。EOM对絮凝除藻具有低促高抑的作用,低浓度(DOC10 m L)时EOM可发挥吸附架桥作用,利于絮凝;高浓度(DOC30 m L)时EOM的电负性发挥主导作用,抑制絮凝。     

溶藻菌H6对铜绿微囊藻的溶藻特性研究

全球水华现象日益严重，微生物控藻由于具有成本低、高效、环境友好等优点被广泛关注。以筛自河道的一株溶藻菌H6为对象，开展其对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)的溶藻特性研究。实验结果表明，H6最佳投加量(体积分数)为5%,最佳投加时机为蓝藻水华暴发初期(680 nm波长处的光密度(OD₆₈₀)为0.3),pH控制在5～11,7 d溶藻率超过70%。H6以间接溶藻为主，直接溶藻为辅，通过分泌耐高温的溶藻物质进行除藻且溶藻产物为腐殖酸类物质。H6属于肠杆菌属(Enterobacteriaceae),在宽pH范围内有较好溶藻效果，丰富了水体蓝藻水华治理方面的菌种资源；分泌的溶藻物质的耐高温特性为后续菌粉制备及生产应用提供了便利。     

改性CMC聚合物吸附酸法地浸废水中的铀

在温度为70～80℃、单体质量浓度为30%～35%、羧甲基纤维素∶丙烯酸(质量比)为10∶2.5、反应时间为3.5～4 h条件下对CMC进行改性,接枝率可达68%以上。以改性前后的CMC为吸附剂,对模拟酸法地浸含铀废水进行了对比吸附实验研究。结果表明:改性CMC对铀吸附效果最佳的实验条件为:改性CMC质量浓度为0.10 g/L,温度为25℃,pH为5.0,吸附时间100 min,此时铀去除率达到了97.1%,比CMC改性后对铀的吸附率平均提高了近21%。影响吸附效果程度由强到弱的顺序为:改性CMC投加量、pH、吸附时间、温度。     

水单胞菌CA滤液的溶藻特性及其溶藻物质

针对一株具有明显溶藻效果的水单胞菌CA（Aquimonas sp.）,对其滤液的溶藻活性以及溶藻物质特性做了进一步的探索。结果表明,CA滤液具有强烈的溶藻效果。10 d内叶绿素a降解率达79.2%,藻细胞数目降解率达98.5%。同时,藻蓝蛋白和别藻蓝蛋白急剧降低,分别降低了81.67%和82.60%。丙二醛含量也有所降低。通过研究溶藻物质的活性,发现溶藻物质经蛋白酶K处理后仍具有溶藻活性,说明溶藻物质是非蛋白类物质;溶藻物质具有较强的热稳定性,即使在121℃下处理2 h活性仍未丧失;溶藻物质在碱性条件下有较强的pH稳定性,在酸性条件下活性会有小部分丧失;同时通过有机试剂萃取,发现溶藻物质具有较强的极性。本研究为溶藻物质的溶藻特性研究以及溶藻物质的分离提供了理论基础。     

抗菌防臭纤维织物杀藻效果研究

针对水华治理需求,采用市售抗菌防臭纤维织物产品进行了实验室和小型实验池中水华藻杀灭实验。结果显示,在28℃光照强度3 000 lx条件下,在实验室培养的藻悬浮液中放置0.4 cm2/mL抗菌防臭纤维织物1~3 d后,铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)DS和7820种、鲍氏织线藻(Plectonema calothrichoidesGom)、莱茵衣藻(Chlamydomonas rein-hardtii)的叶绿素a含量即明显降低,处理2周后,叶绿素a浓度分别下降94.8%、92.7%、93.2%和98.9%;鱼腥藻(Anabae-na7120),斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquusK櫣tz)的生长受到强烈抑制,处理3周后其叶绿素a浓度无明显增加;在1.8 m×2.8 m×1.5 m的小型实验池使用1.25 m2/m3抗菌防臭纤维织物8 d后,实验池野生铜绿微囊藻叶绿素a浓度下降86.8%。鱼类急性毒理测试显示该抗菌防臭纤维织物无毒性。     

Growth and photosynthetic responses of the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa to elevated levels of cadmium

Effects of cadmium (Cd) on the growth and photosynthesis of the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz 854 were investigated. The growth was markedly inhibited when it was treated with 4 microM Cd. However, the biomass production was almost not influenced after a prolonged exposure at Cd concentrations < or = 2 microM. Chlorophyll content was more sensitive to Cd toxicity than phycobiliproteins at 0.5 microM Cd. However, the decrease of phycobiliproteins was larger than chlorophyll at the highest Cd concentration. A significant increase of F(v)/F(m) value was observed at Cd concentrations < or = 2 microM. On the other hand, when cells were treated with 4 microM Cd, F(v)/F(m) was significantly increased after 12 h of treatment but decreased after 48 h. The true photosynthesis was decreased with the increase of Cd concentration at 2 h. However, we noticed a recovery when the treatment was prolonged. After 48 h of exposure at the highest Cd concentration, photosynthetic oxygen evolution was markedly inhibited but dark respiration increased by 67%. Cellular Cd contents were augmented with the increase of Cd concentration. To our knowledge, we have demonstrated for the first time that the inhibitory site of Cd in M. aeruginosa is not located at the PSII or PSI level, but is probably situated on the ferredoxin/NADP(+)-oxidoreductase enzyme at the terminal of whole electron transport chain. We noticed also an increase of PSI activity, which is probably linked to the enhancement of cyclic electron transport around PSI. We can conclude that the increase of cyclic electron transport and dark respiration activities, and the decrease of phycobiliproteins might be adaptive mechanisms of M. aeruginosa 854 under high Cd conditions.     

不同质量浓度黄莒蒲和狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻的化感作用

分别采用黄菖蒲（IrispseudacorusL．）、狭叶香蒲（TyphaangustifoliaL．）和铜绿微囊藻（Microcystisaeruginosa）共生培养的实验方法研究了不同质量浓度黄菖蒲、狭叶香蒲对铜绿微囊藻的化感作用。结果表明，黄菖蒲在质量浓度大于10g／L时对初始密度为1．0×10^7ind／mL的铜绿微囊藻具有较好的抑制作用，表现为黄菖蒲质量浓度为10、20和40g／L时，第15天对铜绿微囊藻的抑制率分别为30．1％、51．8％和84．0％；狭叶香蒲在质量浓度大于20g／L时对铜绿微囊藻有明显的抑制作用，表现为狭叶香蒲质量浓度为20g／L和40g／L时，第15天对铜绿微囊藻的抑制率分别为34．2％和77．7％，实验过程中，铜绿微囊藻叶绿素a含量逐渐减少，而藻密度、SOD活性及MDA含量先增加后逐渐降低，表明经过一段时间持续地化感胁迫，黄菖蒲和狭叶香蒲可以诱导铜绿微囊藻产生氧化胁迫，导致细胞结构严重损伤和叶绿素大量分解，从而强烈抑制铜绿微囊藻的生长。     

Leaching of trifluralin,metolachlor, and metribuzin in a clay loam soil of Louisiana

Trifluralin[2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluormethyl)benzenamine], metolachlor[2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide], and metribuzin[4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)one] were applied in field plots located on a Commerce clay loam soil near Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the rate of 1683 g/ha, 2759 g/ha and 609 g/ha, respectively. The half-lives of trifluralin, metolachlor, and metribuzin in the top 0-15 cm soil depth were found to be 54.7 days, 35.8 days and 29.8 days, respectively. The proportion of trifluralin, metolachlor, and metribuzin in the top 0-15 cm soil depth was 94.7%, 86.6%, and 75.4%, respectively of that found in the top 0-60 cm soil depth 30 days after application. Trifluralin concentrations were within a range of 0.026 ng/mL to 0.058 ng/mL in 1 m deep well water, and between 0.007 ng/mL and 0.039 ng/mL in 2 m deep well water over a 62 day period after application. Metolachlor concentrations in the 1 m and 2 m wells ranged from 3.62 ng/mL to 82.32 ng/mL and 8.44 ng/mL to 15.53 ng/mL, respectively. Whereas metribuzin concentrations in the 1 m and 2 m wells ranged from 0.70 ng/mL to 27.75 ng/mL and 1.71 ng/mL to 3.83 ng/mL, respectively. Accordingly, trifluralin was found to be strongly adsorbed on the soil and showed negligible leaching. Although metolachlor and metribuzin were also both readily adsorbed on the soil, their leaching potential was high. As a result, in the clay loam soil studied, metribuzin concentration in groundwater with shallow aquifers is likely to exceed the 10 mg/L US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advisory level for drinking water early in the application season, whereas trifluralin and metolachlor concentrations are expected to remain substantially lower than their respective 2 ng/mL and 175 ng/mL EPA advisory levels.     

Phytoremediation of radiostrontium ((90)Sr) and radiocesium ((137)Cs) using giant milky weed (Calotropis gigantea R.Br.) plants

Potential of plants to remove radionuclides/toxic elements from soils and solutions can be successfully applied for removal of important radionuclides such as strontium-90 (⁹⁰Sr) and cesium-137 (¹³⁷Cs). When uptake of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr by Calotropis gigantea plants incubated in distilled water spiked with the radionuclides either alone or in combination was studied, it was found to have a high efficiency for the removal of ⁹⁰Sr, with 90% being removed from solutions (5 × 10³ kBq l⁻¹) within 24 h of incubation. However, in case of ¹³⁷Cs, about 44% could be removed from solutions (5 × 10³ kBq l⁻¹) at the end of 168 h of incubation. Accumulation of ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs was higher in roots compared to shoots. The plants could remediate both ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs when they were added together to the solution. When two months old plants were incubated in low level nuclear waste, 99% of activity disappeared at the end of 15 days. The present study suggests that C. gigantea could be used as a potential candidate plant for phytoremediation of ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs.     

Dissipation kinetics of spiromesifen on tea (Camellia sinensis) under tropical conditions

Spiromesifen (Oberon) is a new insecticide and miticide of chemical class ketoenol active against white flies (Bemisia spp., Trialeuroides spp.) and spider mites (Tetranychus and Panonychus spp.). Due to its potential significance in insect resistance management, it is important to establish its behaviour on crop and environment. In the present study, the degradation/dissipation of spiromesifen on tea crop under tropical environmental conditions was studied and its DT(50) (t(1/2)), and DT(90) (time to reduce to 90% of the initial value) were estimated. Spiromesifen was sprayed on tea crop after first rain flush at four different locations @ 96 and 192ga.i.ha(-1). Samples of tea leaves were drawn at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 21 and 30 days after treatment and that of soil at 10 days after treatment and at harvest from 0 to 15 and 15 to 30cm layers. After crude extraction of tea leaves for spiromesifen residues with acetone:water, the contents were partitioned with cyclohexane:ethyl acetate and cleaned up on Florosil column. Soil residues were also extracted similarly. Quantification of residues was done on GC-MS in Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) mode in mass range 271-274m/z. The LOQ of this method was found to be 0.05microgg(-1) while LOD being 0.015microgg(-1). The DT(50) of spiromesifen when applied at recommended doses in tea leaves was found to be 5.0-8.5 days. Ninety-nine percent degradation was found to occur within 33-57 days after application. In soil, no residues of spiromesifen were detectable 10 days after treatment.     

Performance of an innovative two-stage process converting food waste to hydrogen and methane

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of an innovative two-stage process, BIOCELL, that was developed to produce hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) from food waste on the basis of phase separation, reactor rotation mode, and sequential batch technique. The BIOCELL process consisted of four leaching-bed reactors for H2 recovery and post-treatment and a UASB reactor for CH4 recovery. The leaching-bed reactors were operated in a rotation mode with a 2-day interval between degradation stages. The sequential batch technique was useful to optimize environmental conditions during H2 fermentation. The BIOCELL process demonstrated that, at the high volatile solids (VS) loading rate of 11.9 kg/m3 x day, it could remove 72.5% of VS and convert VS(removed) to H2 (28.2%) and CH4 (69.9%) on a chemical oxygen demand (COD) basis in 8 days. H2 gas production rate was 3.63 m3/m3 x day, while CH4 gas production rate was 1.75 m3/m3 x day. The yield values of H2 and CH4 were 0.31 and 0.21 m3/kg VS(added), respectively. Moreover, the output from the post-treatment could be used as a soil amendment. The BIOCELL process proved to be stable, reliable, and effective in resource recovery as well as waste stabilization.     

Effects of DDT ground-spraying against tsetse flies on lizards in NW Zimbabwe

The impact of DDT ground-spraying against tsetse flies on lizards was investigated in NW Zimbabwe. Nineteen species were recorded, 17 in mopane woodland and 11 on gritstone outcrops: Mabuya striata wahlbergii dominated trees and Mabuya quinquetaeniata margaritifer rocks. Mean frequency of M. s. wahlbergii declined significantly from 76% of lizards at untreated sites (n = 8), through 72% after three annual treatments (n = 4), to 48% after 4-6 treatments (n = 6). Sighting rates and proportion of trees occupied were also significantly lower at treated than untreated sites. Numbers on trunks (99% > 15 cm diameter) above 3 m increased significantly with years of treatment relative to those in the spray target area below 3 m. Total DDT loads rose significantly with number of annual treatments and were up to 263 microg g(-1) lipid (7 microg g(-1) wet body weight) after 3-6 years. The percentage of unaltered DDT increased with load, which was proportionately higher in thin than in fat lizards. The geometric mean total DDT level in M. s. wahlbergii was significantly higher than in outcrop species, and from treated woodland was elevated 21 times above that in lizards from treated outcrops. Frequency and sighting rates of Lygodactylus chobiensis in woodland and immature Agama kirkii on outcrops were significantly higher in treated than in untreated areas.     

多级厌氧法处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣效果的研究

通过自主设计的多级厌氧反应器系统来考察半连续处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣的效果。该系统总反应体积为44L，由4个11L的升流式厌氧反应罐组成，罐体间采用串联方式连接。121d的连续运行周期分为3个阶段，各阶段的有机负荷率分别为1．27、1．82和2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）。全过程中主要监测了各级罐体的产气量和螺旋霉素的降解。结果表明，多级厌氧反应器系统启动初期会出现产气不稳定现象，经过2个月的运行之后系统达到稳定状态。在有机负荷达到2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）时，各级罐体仍能稳定运行，总产气的45％集中在1号罐。在系统启动初期，螺旋霉素不能被明显降解。运行约80d后，整个体系达到了快速降解螺旋霉素的状态，在2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）的有机负荷率下，螺旋霉素降解率达到97％，同时可溶性COD降解率也达到了90％。     

Biofiltration of gasoline vapor by compost media

Gasoline vapor was treated using a compost biofilter operated in upflow mode over 4 months. The gas velocity was 6 m/h, yielding an empty bed retention time (EBRT) of 10 min. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal efficiencies remained fairly stable approximately 15 days after biofilter start-up. The average removal efficiencies of TPH and BTEX were 80 and 85%, respectively, during 4 months of stable operation. Biodegradation portions of the treated TPH and BTEX were 60 and 64%, respectively. When the influent concentration of TPH was less than 7800 mg TPH/m3, approximately 50% of TPH in the gas stream was removed in the lower half of the biofilter. When the influent concentration of BTEX was less than 720 mg BTEX/m3, over 75% of BTEX in the gas stream was removed in the lower half of the biofilter. Benzene removal efficiency was the lowest among BTEX. A pressure drop could not be detected over a 1-m bed height at a gas velocity of 6 m/h after approximately 4 months of operation. Results demonstrated that BTEX in gasoline vapor could be treated effectively using a compost biofilter.
