Effect of operating parameters on sulfide biotransformation to sulfur

A laboratory-scale bioreactor with polyethylene semi-soft packing was constructed and utilized to determine the efficlency of sulfide biotransformation to sulfur under various operating parameters. Sodium sulfide dissolved in tap water was pumped into the bioreactor as sulfide for biological desulfurization. The sulfide, sulfur and sulfate-S in the effluent and the sulfide purged as gas-phase HzS were determined to investigate the effects of operating parameters, such as pH, DO, hydraulic retention time （HRT）, temperature and salinity, on the sulfide oxidation products. The activity of bacteria was highest at pH 7.8-8.2. The maximal sulfide removal load was 7.25 kg/（m^3·day）, with a 322.07 mg/L influent sulfide concentration and 4.80 mg/L DO. The increase of DO value corresponds to a decrease in the sulfur yield. The reactor had the highest sulfide removal load and sulfur yield at 2.55 mg/L DO. HRT had little effect on desulfurization efficiency when the sulfide removal load was kept constant. The most effective desulfurization temperature was 33℃. The sulfide removal load decreased from 2.85 to 0.51 kg/（m^3.day） with increasing salinity from 0.5% to 2.5% （m/m）.     

GeoChip-based analysis of the microbial community functional structures in simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification process

The elemental sulfur （S^0） recover）, was evaluated in the presence of hi,ate in two development models of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification （SDD） process. At the loading rates of 0.9 kg S/（m^3.day） for sulfide and 0.4 kg N/（m^3.day） for nitrate, SO conversion rate was 91.1% in denitrifying sulfide removal （DSR） model which was higher than in integrated simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification （ISDD） model （25.6%）. A comprehensive analysis of functional diversity, structure and metabolic potential of microbial communities was examined in two models by using functional gene array （GeoChip 2.0）. GeoChip data indicated that diversity indices, community structure, and abundance of functional genes were distinct between two models. Diversity indices （Simpson＇s diversity index （1/D） and Shannon-Weaver index （H′）） of all detected genes showed that with elevated infiuent loading rate, the functional diversity decreased in ISDD model but increased in DSR model. In contrast to ISDD model, the overall abundance of dsr genes was lower in DSR model, while some functional genes targeting from nitrate-reducing sulfide-oxidizingbacteria {NR-SOB）, such as Thiobacillus denitrficans, Sulfurimonas denitrificans, and Paracoccus pantotrophus were more abundant in DSR model which were highly associated with the change of SO conversion rate obtained in two models. The results obtained in this study provide additional insights into the microbial metabolic mechanisms involved in ISDD and DSR models, which in turn will improve the overall performance of SDD process.     

Sulfide oxidation in fluidized bed bioreactor using nylon support material

A continuous fluidized bed bioreactor (FBBR) with nylon support particles was used to treat synthetic sulfide wastewater at different hydraulic retention time of 25, 50 and 75 min and upflow velocity of 14, 17 and 20 m/hr. The effects of upflow velocity, hydraulic retention time and reactor operation time on sulfide oxidation rate were studied using statistical model. Mixed culture obtained from the activated sludge, taken from tannery effluent treatment plant, was used as a source for microorganisms. The diameter and density of the nylon particles were 2-3 mm and 1140 kg/m³, respectively. Experiments were carried out in the reactor at a temperature of (30 ± 2)℃, at a fixed bed height of 16 cm after the formation of biofilm on the surface of support particles. Biofilm thickness reached (42 ± 3) μupm after 15 days from reactor start-up. The sulfide oxidation, sulfate and sulfur formation is examined at all hydraulic retention times and upflow velocities. The results indicated that almost 90%-92% sulfide oxidation was achieved at all hydraulic retention times. Statistical model could explain 94% of the variability and analysis of variance showed that upflow velocity and hydraulic retention time slightly affected the sulfide oxidation rate. The highest sulfide oxidation of 92% with 70% sulfur was obtained at hydraulic retention time of 75 min and upflow velocity of 14 m/hr.     

Amoxicillin effects on functional microbial community and spread of antibiotic resistance genes in amoxicillin manufacture wastewater treatment system

This study aimed to reveal how amoxicillin(AMX) affected the microbial community and the spread mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) in the AMX manufacture wastewater treatment system. For this purpose, a 1.47 L expanded granular sludge bed(EGSB) reactor was designed and run for 241 days treating artificial AMX manufacture wastewater. 454 pyrosequencing was applied to analyze functional microorganisms in the system. The antibiotic genes OXA_(-1), OXA_(-2), OXA_(-10), TEM_(-1), CTX-M_(-1), class I integrons(intI1) and 16 SrRNA genes were also examined in sludge samples. The results showed that the genera Ignavibacterium, Phocoenobacter,Spirochaeta, Aminobacterium and Cloacibacillus contributed to the degradation of different organic compounds(such as various sugars and amines). And the relative quantification of eachβ-lactam resistance gene in the study was changed with the increasing of AMX concentration.Furthermore the vertical gene transfer was the main driver for the spread of ARGs rather than horizontal transfer pathways in the system.     

Characteristics of high-sulfate wastewater treatment by two-phase anaerobic digestion process with Jet-loop anaerobic fluidized bed

A new anaerobic reactor, Jet-loop anaerobic fluidized bed （JLAFB）, was designed for treating high-sulfate wastewater. The treatment characteristics, including the effect of influent COD/SO42 ratio and alkalinity and sulfide inhibition in reactors, were discussed for a JLAFB and a general anaerobic fiuidized bed （AFB） reactor used as sulfate-reducing phase and methane-producing phase, respectively, in two-phase anaerobic digestion process. The formation of granules in the two reactors was also examined. The results indicated that COD and sulfate removal had different demand of influent COD/SO4^2- ratios. When total COD removal was up to 85%, the ratio was only required up to 1.2, whereas, total sulfate removal up to 95% required it exceeding 3.0. The alkalinity in the two reactors increased linearly with the growth of influent alkalinity. Moreover, the change of influent alkalinity had no significant effect on pH and volatile fatty acids （VFA） in the two reactors. Influent alkalinity kept at 400-500 mg/L could meet the requirement of the treating process. The JLAFB reactor had great advantage in avoiding sulfide and free-H2S accumulation and toxicity inhibition on microorganisms. When sulfate loading rate was up to 8. 1 kg/（m^3.d）, the sulfide and free-H2S concentrations in JLAFB reactor were 58.6 and 49.7 mg/L, respectively. Furthermore, the granules, with offwhite color, ellipse shape and diameters of 1.0-3.0 mm, could be developed in JLAFB reactor. In granules, different groups of bacteria were distributed in different layers, and some inorganic metal compounds such as Fe, Ca, Mg etc. were found.     

Temporal variation of microbial population in a thermophilic biofilter for SO2 removal

The performance of a biofilter relies on the activity of microorganisms during the gas contaminant treatment process. In this study, SO_2 was treated using a laboratory-scale biofilter packed with polyurethane foam cubes(PUFC), on which thermophilic desulfurization bacteria were attached. The thermophilic biofilter effectively reduced SO_2 within 10 months of operation time, with a maximum elimination capacity of 48.29 g/m~3/hr.Temporal shifts in the microbial population in the thermophilic biofilter were determined through polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) sequence analysis. The substrate species and environmental conditions in the biofilter influenced the microbial population. Oxygen distribution in the PUFC was analyzed using a microelectrode. When the water-containing rate in PUFC was over 98%, the oxygen distribution presented aerobic–anoxic–aerobic states along the test route on the PUFC. The appearance of sulfate-reducing bacteria was caused by the anaerobic conditions and sulfate formation after 4 months of operation.     

A review of diversity-stability relationship of soil microbial community: What do we not know?

The impact of decreased biodiversity on ecosystem stability, or the diversity-stability (D-S) relationship, is one of the major concerns of modern ecological studies. Studies on the D-S relationship for soil microbial communities began in 2000 when the fumigation method was developed to generate different levels of soil microbial biodiversity. The studies used various measures and levels of biodiversity, and covered several functional parameters. Due to the lack of general concepts and reliable approaches to define microbial species, studies on the D-S relationship of soil microbial communities concentrate on genetic diversity and functional diversity more than species diversity. Contradictory results were observed in various studies on D-S relationship with possible factors affecting or even changing the directions of the D-S relationship including: (1) the methods of stability measurement, (2) the techniques in microbial diversity measurement, (3) the measures and levels of diversity, (4) the type and strength of disturbance, (5) the traits of functions, and (6) the hidden treatments stemming from diversity manipulation. We argue that future studies should take diversity, species composition and interaction, and soil environmental conditions holistically into account in D-S studies to develop modeling to predict soil functional stability. We also suggest that studies should be carried out on a wider range of disturbance types and functional parameters, and efforts be shifted towards long-term field studies.     

Impact of microbial communities from tropical soils on the mobilization of trace metals during dissolution of cinnabar ore

Biodissolution experiments on cinnabar ore(mercury sulphide and other sulphide minerals,such as pyrite) were performed with microorganisms extracted directly from soil. These experiments were carried out in closed systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions with 2 different soils sampled in French Guyana. The two main objectives of this study were(1) to quantify the ability of microorganisms to mobilize metals(Fe, Al, Hg) during the dissolution of cinnabar ore, and(2) to identify the links between the type and chemical properties of soils, environmental parameters such as season and the strategies developed by indigenous microorganisms extracted from tropical natural soils to mobilize metals.Results indicate that microbial communities extracted directly from various soils are able to(1) survive in the presence of cinnabar ore, as indicated by consumption of carbon sources and,(2) leach Hg from cinnabar in oxic and anoxic dissolution experiments via the acidification of the medium and the production of low molecular mass organic acids(LMMOAs). The dissolution rate of cinnabar in aerobic conditions with microbial communities ranged from 4.8 × 10~(-4) to 2.6 × 10~(-3) μmol/m~2/day and was independent of the metabolites released by the microorganisms. In addition, these results suggest an indirect action by the microorganisms in the cinnabar dissolution. Additionally, because iron is a key element in the dynamics of Hg, microbes were stimulated by the presence of this metal,and microbes released LMMOAs that leached iron from iron-bearing minerals, such as pyrite and oxy-hydroxide of iron, in the mixed cinnabar ore.     

Control factors of partial nitritation for landfill leachate treatment

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) technology has potential technical superiority and economical efficiency for the nitrogen removal from landfill leachate, which contains high-strength ammonium nitrogen (NH4 -N) and refractory organics. To complete the ANAMMOX process, a preceding partial nitritation step to produce the appropriate ratio of nitrite/ammonium is a key stage. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal conditions to acquire constant partial nitritation for landfill leachate treatment, and a bench scale fixed bed bio-film reactor was used in this study to investigate the effects of the running factors on the partial nitritation. The results showed that both the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and the ammonium volumetric loading rate (Nv) had effects on the partial nitritation. In the controlling conditions with a temperature of 30±1℃, Nv of 0.2-1.0 kg NH4 -N/(m3d), and DO concentration of 0.8-2.3 mg/L, the steady partial nitritation was achieved as follows: more than 94% partial nitritation efficiency (nitrite as the main product), 60%-74% NH4 -N removal efficiency, and NO2--N/NH4 -N ratio (concentration ratio) of 1.0-1.4 in the effluent. The impact of temperature was related to iVv at certain DO concentration, and the temperature range of 25-30癈 was suitable for treating high strength ammonium leachate. Ammonium-oxidizing bacteria could be acclimated to higher FA (free ammonium) in the range of 122-224 mg/L. According to the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis result of the bio-film in the reactor, there were 25 kinds of 16S rRNA gene fragments, which indicated that abundant microbial communities existed in the bio-film, although high concentrations of ammonium and FA may inhibit the growth of the nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and other microorganisms in the reactor.     

Analysis of culturable and unculturable microbial community in bensulfuron-methyl contaminated paddy soils

To investigate the influence of bensulfuron-methyl(BSM)on culturable microbial quantities and unculturable microbial community structures,conventional and molecular biological methods were employed in five BSM treated soils with three replications,respectively. The results obtained with traditional culture-dependent methods showed that a low-level of BSM had slight and transient effects on culturable microorganisms;nevertheless,high concentration of BSM resulted in a dramatic decrease in bacterial colony fo...     

微氧水解酸化处理石化废水的生物降解特性

本研究采用微氧水解酸化技术处理石化废水,以抑制硫酸盐的还原,减少硫化氢的产生.同时,通过与厌氧水解酸化的对比试验,研究了微氧水解酸化的生物降解特性.微氧反应器的ORP控制在(-290±71)m V,厌氧反应器的ORP为(-398±31)m V.反应器运行近7个月的结果表明,在进水COD为202~514 mg·L-1、硫酸根浓度为350~650 mg·L-1及HRT为12 h时,微氧水解酸化反应器COD的平均去除率为31.2%,高于厌氧水解酸化的26.4%.厌氧出水的VFA浓度((2.34±0.60)mmol·L-1)高于微氧出水((1.89±0.48)mmol·L-1).微氧出水的平均比紫外吸收值(UV254/DOC)为0.017,显著低于厌氧出水(0.025),表明微氧环境可以提高兼性水解酸化菌的生理代谢功能,强化难降解芳香有机物和含共轭双键大分子化合物的去除.微氧水解酸化出水的硫离子浓度((0.11±0.04)mg·L-1)显著低于厌氧出水((1.27±1.22)mg·L-1).454焦磷酸测序结果表明:微氧水解酸化菌群中,变形菌门、绿弯菌门和放线菌门菌群丰度(所占比例分别为39.7%、20.3%、1.9%)高于厌氧水解酸化菌群(分别为36.9%、17.5%、1.3%),对难降解大分子有机物的去除效果好;厌氧水解酸化菌群中拟杆菌门和酸杆菌门所占比例较大,酸化效果更好.在属的水平上,微氧水解酸化污泥中鉴定出的硫酸盐还原菌的种群多样性和丰度均低于厌氧污泥,这与其出水较低的硫离子浓度一致,表明微氧环境能够有效抑制硫酸盐还原菌的活性.上述研究结果表明,微氧水解酸化是一种很有前途的石化废水预处理技术.     

溶解氧对碳氮硫共脱除工艺中微生物群落影响解析

为了研究溶解氧对碳氮硫共脱除工艺中微生物群落的影响,探索供氧条件下提高单质硫转化率的机制,实验采用基因芯片GeoChip技术来解析不同曝气量下采集的污泥样品中的微生物群落结构特征.研究结果表明,微量的溶解氧能显著影响工艺中的微生物群落结构(P<0.001),相对较高浓度的溶解氧可以增加微生物的多样性但是却抑制了对溶解氧比较敏感的反硝化微生物的活性,导致工艺硝酸盐去除率下降.与反硝化微生物相比硫酸盐还原菌(sulfate-reducing bacteria,SRB)能抵抗更高浓度的溶解氧,因此工艺的硫酸盐还原过程未受到影响,一直保持较高的硫酸盐去除率.当曝气量为20 mL·min-1时单质硫的转化率最高,通过对sox(sulfur-oxidation)基因丰度分析和聚类分析发现,在该曝气量条件下sox基因的丰度最高,与厌氧条件相比有极其显著的差异.此外,GeoChip还检测到一些硫氧化细菌(sulfur-oxidizing bacteria,SOB)的丰度明显提高,证明适量的溶解氧能够刺激一部分SOB的生长与代谢.     

ANAMMOX培养物中硫酸盐型氨氧化生物转化机制

厌氧条件下,ANAMMOX培养物中发生的硫酸盐型氨氧化（SRAO）现象被认为是由ANAMMOX细菌（AnAOB）介导的自养生物转化过程.在这个过程中,作为电子供体的氨被电子受体硫酸盐氧化.在某一些自然环境中观察到的氨与硫酸盐转化现象也被认为是由于上述生物转化作用而导致的.然而,在不同研究中,关于氨与硫酸盐的转化摩尔比（N/S）、硫酸盐还原的中间产物和最终产物的认定均有存在较大差异.因此,氨和硫酸盐在ANAMMOX培养物中的转化机制仍不明确.为探明ANAMMOX污泥中SRAO现象背后的基质转化途径,在不同厌氧状态（微氧：-100 mV < ORP < 0 mV,0.5 mg·L^-1 < DO < 1 mg·L^-1;缺氧：-300 mV < ORP < -100 mV,0.2 mg·L^-1 < DO < 0.5 mg·L^-1;厌氧：ORP < -300 mV,DO < 0.2 mg·L^-1）以及不同污泥组成（ANAMMOX污泥和混合污泥）的条件下开展连续流实验和批次实验.结果表明,SRAO现象只能在缺氧条件且存在异养硫酸盐还原细菌（SRB）的混合污泥中发生;在ANAMMOX污泥中无论处于哪种厌氧状态,均不会发生SRAO现象.微生物群落变化与功能基因表达分析表明,ANAMMOX污泥和混合污泥中均存在以Nitrosomonas和Nitrosospira为主的携带amoA基因的氨氧化细菌（AOB）,可将氨氧化生成亚硝酸盐,为AnAOB代谢提供底物.Desulfomicrobium、Desulfovibrio以及Desulfonatronum等携带apsA基因的SRB只存在于混合污泥中,它们利用微生物衰亡释放的有机物将硫酸盐还原.AnAOB并不能以硫酸盐为电子受体氧化氨维持代谢.因此,在ANAMMOX污泥中观察到的SRAO现象（即氨与硫酸盐的同步转化）实际上是氨氧化、ANAMMOX和异养硫酸盐还原这3个过程联合的结果,上述生物转化过程分别由AOB、AnAOB和SRB完成.     

微氧条件下自养-异养联合反硝化工艺的电子平衡分析

自养-异养联合反硝化(integrated autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification,IAHD)工艺可以同时进行硫化物,硝酸盐和有机物的降解,作为工业废水处理的关键单元近年来受到广泛关注.引入微量氧气作为电子受体的微氧技术已被证明是强化IAHD运行效能的有效策略.本研究关注于IAHD工艺的电子平衡计算并发现了IAHD生物反应器在微氧条件下运行时利用有限的硝酸盐可将硫化物和乙酸盐完全转化去除.在IAHD序批实验中,当电子缺失率达到峰值55. 1%时,硫化物、硝酸盐和乙酸盐去除效率和去除速率均最高.进一步的硫化物氧化间歇实验表明,电子得失不平衡现象发生在生物硫化物氧化过程中,当氧气含量为5 m L和10 m L时,电子缺失率分别为18. 7%和38. 2%. Illumina微生物群落测序结果表明,Thiobacillus、Thauera、Mangroviflexus和Erysipelothrix为硫氧化过程的主要占优属,其中Thiobacillus的相对丰度随着电子缺失率的增加而增加.本研究揭示了微氧条件下电子受体缺失现象与强化的IAHD运行效能之间的潜在联系,并为深入探讨硫、氮和有机碳的代谢机制提供了新的研究视角.     

稻田微氧层和还原层土壤有机碳矿化对氮素添加的响应

田间条件下,淹水稻田由于上覆水中溶解氧的扩散作用,使其表层土壤存在约1 cm厚的微氧层,这个特殊层次中碳氮转化的特征尚未明晰.以亚热带典型稻田土壤为对象,采用100 d室内模拟培养试验,结合¹³C稳定同位素示踪和磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)分析技术,研究稻田土壤微氧层(0～1 cm)和还原层(1～5 cm)外源新鲜有机碳(¹³C-水稻秸秆)和原有土壤有机碳矿化对氮肥施用[(NH₄)₂SO₄]的响应规律及其微生物过程.结果表明,氮素添加使土壤总CO₂和¹³C-CO₂累积排放量分别提高11.4%和12.3%;培养结束时,氮素添加下还原层比微氧层土壤总有机碳含量和¹³C回收率分别降低2.4%和9.2%.培养前期(5 d),氮素添加提高还原层微生物总PLFAs,且细菌和真菌PLFAs响应一致,但对微氧层微生物丰度无显著影响;氮素添加对微氧层和还原层总¹³C-PLFAs丰度均无显著影响...     

不同曝气位点对微氧强化硫酸盐还原-反硝化脱硫效果及群落结构的影响

微氧强化硫酸盐还原-反硝化脱硫(SR-DSR)工艺因具有同步处理废水中COD、NO~-_3、SO■生成S~0且运行成本低、流程短的优势而受到关注.但因不同曝气方式而在反应器中形成的不同微氧区的位置对反应器运行效能、S~0转化率和群落结构的影响尚不明确.因此,本文以5 mL·min~(-1)·L~(-1)曝气速率、10.4 mmol·L~(-1)硫酸钠、31 mmol·L~(-1)乳酸钠和8 mmol·L~(-1)硝酸钾连续运行膨胀颗粒污泥床(EGSB)反应器,对比研究了回流槽中(底部)曝气(微氧区位于反应器下部)和反应区上部曝气(微氧区分别位于反应器上部和下部但DO更低)运行稳定后,反应器的运行效能、S~0转化率和功能微生物的演替规律.结果表明,上部曝气时乳酸盐去除率为100%,出水中乙酸盐浓度为9.1 mmol·L~(-1),丙酸盐浓度为3.7 mmol·L~(-1),NO~-_3去除率为100%,出水中NO~-_2浓度为0.35 mmol·L~(-1),SO■去除率为84%,出水中S~(2-)浓度为2.6 mmol·L~(-1),S~0转化率为59%.与底部曝气相比,上部曝气时出水中乙酸盐和丙酸盐浓度分别升高2.2和1.9 mmol·L~(-1),NO~-_2浓度下降0.15 mmol·L~(-1),S~(2-)浓度降低0.5 mmol·L~(-1),SO■去除率和S~0转化率分别下降6%和1%.上部曝气时,反应器下部和上部均存在相对减弱的微氧环境,使得反应器中硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)Desulfomicrobium和Desulfobulbus的总丰度分别增加9%和5%,硫氧化反硝化菌(soNRB)Halothiobacillaceae和Sulfurovum的丰度均减小3.1%,异养反硝化菌(hNRB)Comamonas的丰度升高0.2%,互营菌Synergistaceae的丰度减少37%.其中,反应器下部的SRB和soNRB总丰度分别升高28%和3%,为SO■还原和S~0转化提供了充分条件,而反应器上部的微氧环境又减弱了SO■还原过程,从而降低了反应器出水中的S~(2-).因此,在碳源充足的条件下,可以采取反应器上部曝气的方式创造微氧环境,既可以保证较高的S~0转化率,又可以减少出水中S~(2-)和NO~-_2的浓度.     

富硫沉积生境中微生物群落的垂直分布特征

为探讨富硫沉积环境中特定微生物类群对硫循环的贡献,人工建立富含硫酸盐的模型,对模型中各种环境化学参数进行监测,并采用不依赖于培养的微生物分子生态学技术对微生物群落垂向分布特征进行解析.结果表明,以沉积物-水界面为分界线,上层水相为好氧环境,硫化物浓度较底;而沉积物相中硫化物浓度较高,为厌氧生境.微生物群落分布与环境特征具有很好的吻合性,沉积物相中微生物群落相似性较高,多样性相对较低,而水相中微生物多样性较高,且与沉积物中微生物分离距离较大.在水-沉积物垂向剖面中,细菌域中的变形菌门(Protebacteria)(丰度为7.6%~32.8%)、绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)(13.6%~22.3%)以及古菌域中的广古菌门(Euryarchaeota)(19.3%~29.2%)是微生物群落中的绝对优势类群.在该生境中,存在微生物主导的硫循环过程,在厌氧沉积物表层,δ变形菌纲(Deltaprotebacteria)中的硫酸盐还原细菌还原硫酸盐产生硫化物,同时降解有机质.硫化物向上层扩散时,被Thiobacillus、Acidithiobacillus和Halothiobacillus等属的硫氧化微生物氧化为单质硫,并进一步氧化为硫酸盐,在硫循环过程中有机质被逐渐降解.特定微生物种群的富集需要在不同的环境因素,多种微生物共同参与硫循环过程,完成有机质降解.
