多因素共同作用对中温条件下污泥与餐厨垃圾联合厌氧发酵产H2的影响

污泥与餐厨垃圾联合厌氧发酵产H₂既可减少环境污染,又可制备清洁能源,是一种理想的有机固废处理处置技术。通过4因素5水平正交设计的批式实验及产氢动力学,探究餐厨垃圾C/N、混合体系C/N、含水率、初始pH值4个主要因素共同作用对中温条件下污泥餐厨垃圾联合厌氧发酵产H₂的影响。极差与方差分析结果表明：4个主要因素对联合厌氧发酵产H₂结果影响较明显,而餐厨垃圾C/N和混合体系C/N的交互作用对产H₂结果的影响不显著。不考虑交互作用,以比氢气产量为产H₂效能主要表征指标,最终确定餐厨垃圾C/N为20,联合发酵体系C/N为10,初始pH值为7,含水率为90%时,产H₂效能最佳,此时的累积产氢量为1499.6 mL,比氢气产量为140.96 mL H₂/g DS,最大产氢速率为21.73 mL H₂/h,最大H₂浓度为55.79%。     

不同湿热预处理条件对餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产氢的影响

采用湿热水解技术处理餐厨垃圾,研究不同湿热预处理温度与时间下餐厨垃圾w(VS)(VS为挥发性固体)、ρ(CODs_Cr)(CODs为溶解性化学需氧量)、ρ(TOC)、ρ(TN)等指标的变化,以评价湿热预处理对餐厨垃圾厌氧产氢效能的影响. 在此基础上,结合厌氧产氢动力学分析,确定厌氧发酵产氢的最佳湿热预处理条件. 结果表明:湿热预处理温度、时间对餐厨垃圾可浮油脱出量、w(VS)具有显著影响. 餐厨垃圾湿热预处理后ρ(CODs_Cr)、ρ(TOC)、ρ(TN)变化情况与w(VS)呈负相关. 餐厨垃圾经90℃湿热预处理30min后,可浮油脱出量为37.5mL/kg,w(VS)/w(TS)为95.12%,最大比产氢量达242.1mL/g,最大产氢速率为12.46mL/h,累积产氢率达0.88mol/mol,厌氧产氢启动时间为12.85h. 说明对餐厨垃圾进行适度的湿热预处理可有效提高有机物溶解性与生物可利用效率,进而提高厌氧发酵累积产氢量与产氢速率. 综合能耗、产出等因素,湿热预处理温度90℃,处理时长30min,为餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产氢的最佳湿热预处理条件.      

餐厨垃圾接种酵母菌固态厌氧发酵产乙醇的可行性研究

餐厨垃圾可定向发酵产乙醇,但复杂的预处理导致处理时间长、工艺复杂度增加. 本文通过直接接种酵母菌和灭菌后接种酵母菌对比试验,分析发酵系统内乙醇、乙醇前体物还原糖、还原糖前体物淀粉的降解与产生规律,探讨餐厨垃圾直接接种酵母菌固态厌氧发酵产乙醇的可行性及规律. 结果表明:酵母菌的添加能够促进餐厨垃圾固体厌氧发酵产生乙醇,接种酵母菌后乙醇浓度为11.86~12.09 g/L,是空白对照的8.41~31.50倍,且高于灭菌预处理后接种的6.88~10.02 g/L;基于修正的Gompertz模型分析也证实了上述结果,接种酵母菌后,系统产乙醇潜力(P_m)和单位最大乙醇产率(R_m)也随之上升,但接种量对餐厨垃圾的P_m和R_m影响不大. 对乙醇前体物还原糖的分析表明,接种酵母菌能够在发酵初期就可以发挥作用,促使系统内还原糖在0~4 h内快速降为43.37~46.55 mg/g,从而加速了餐厨垃圾的稳定化进程,但在4~24 h内,由于次生代谢物的抑制作用,系统内还原糖未出现明显的产生和降解. 还原糖前体物淀粉的水解情况分析表明,接种酵母菌可将淀粉的水解率由19.36%提高到27.90%~37.57%,但淀粉含量在274.02~316.51 mg/g之间时已不再发生水解. 研究显示,直接接种酵母菌有助于餐厨垃圾固态厌氧发酵产乙醇含量的提高,体系中还原糖、淀粉含量并未成为餐厨垃圾固态厌氧发酵产乙醇量的限制性因素.

我国餐厨垃圾产量已占城市固体废物的50%以上,推进餐厨垃圾资源化利用和无害化处理是目前亟待解决的问题。某市餐厨垃圾综合处理试项目,由预处理系统、厌氧发酵系统、沼气净化储存系统、沼渣沼液处理系统及除臭系统5部分组成,占地面积19000 m2,总投资9978万元,处理规模200 t/d,平均沼气产量7740 m3/d,其中,甲烷含量在60%以上。该餐厨垃圾项目较好地实现了垃圾减量化、资源化,可为其他城市餐厨垃圾处置提供参考。     

我国餐厨垃圾处理问题与出路研究

餐厨垃圾是一种典型的易腐垃圾,虽然餐厨垃圾无毒无害,但是如果处理不当非常容易带来恶臭等环境问题,影响人们的居住环境。餐厨垃圾的主要来源是居民家庭、以及各个大中小的餐饮企业和各类学校机关的集体食堂。餐厨垃圾对城市的居住环境以及空气质量都会产生较大的影响,因此本文将针对我国餐厨垃圾的处理现状以及存在的问题展开探讨,并提出相关的餐厨垃圾处理出路的意见和建议。     

我国餐厨垃圾厌氧处理技术的现状及发展前景

超声波预处理对餐厨垃圾产VFAs的影响

采用超声波预处理餐厨垃圾以提高产挥发性脂肪酸(VFAs)产率.结果表明,在超声强度720W/L下处理15min后,餐厨垃圾SCOD含量比原样中SCOD提高了1倍,其中有机质中碳水化合物溶出量最大,由原样中8.2g/L提高到处理后的43.5g/L;在pH=6、温度35℃条件下,对含固率约为12%的餐厨垃圾进行厌氧发酵,未预处理和超声处理后的餐厨垃圾产生的VFAs最大值分别达到33.4,42.5g/L,经超声预处理的餐厨垃圾产VFAs的量提高了27.2%.     

餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵启动特性与产甲烷效率

通过开展批次餐厨垃圾中温厌氧发酵实验,考察VS接种比、TOC/TN对餐厨垃圾干式厌氧发酵启动和产气效率的影响。结果表明:VS接种比是干式厌氧发酵处理的重要参数。当VS接种比<1.5,厌氧发酵系统处于酸化状态时,不产生甲烷。随着VS接种比的提高,TOC/TN的增加,餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产甲烷效率、TS削减量、TOC削减量显著提高,厌氧发酵周期缩短,但VS的削减量受VS接种比、TOC/TN的影响较小。整个实验过程中,在VS接种比为2.5,TOC/TN为30条件下,餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产甲烷效率达到360.62 mL/g(TS)、194.96 mL/g(VS)、99.15 mL/g(TOC),TS削减量、VS削减量、TOC削减量分别达到48.33%、87.47%、59.25%。     

电化学预处理对餐厨垃圾-污泥耦合厌氧发酵产挥发性脂肪酸的影响

利用餐厨垃圾-污泥耦合厌氧发酵产挥发性脂肪酸（volatile fatty acids,VFAs）具有广泛的经济和应用价值。本实验考察了在1 V电化学预处理条件下,研究餐厨垃圾占比（空白对照,0%,5%,10%,质量分数）对厌氧发酵生成VFAs产量的影响,从而得出产VFAs的最优条件。研究表明:经过60 min 1 V电化学预处理后,随着餐厨垃圾占比从0%增加到10%,水体中溶解性COD浓度随时间变化迅速增加,最高可达到969~1266 mg/L,随着厌氧发酵的进行转化成VFAs。其中,当餐厨垃圾占比为10%时,VFAs在15 d内最高浓度可达到132.2 mg/L。实验结果表明,电化学预处理可改善餐厨垃圾-污泥特性,加快厌氧发酵过程,同时餐厨垃圾可增加污泥中有机质含量,增加VFAs产量,实现餐厨垃圾-污泥产VFAs的资源化利用途径。

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

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.     

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.     

Effect of sorbed and desorbed Zn(Ⅱ) on the growth of a green alga (Chlorella pyrenoidosa)

Toxic effect of Zn(Ⅱ) on a green alga (Chlorella pyrenoidasa) in the presence of sepiolite and kaolinite was investigated.The Zn-free clays were found to have a negative impact on the growth of C.pyrenoidosa in comparison with control samples (without adding any clay or Zn(Ⅱ)).When Zn(Ⅱ) was added,the algae in the presence of clays could be better survived than the control samples,which was actually caused by a decrease in Zn(Ⅱ) concentration in the solution owing to the adsorption of Zn(Ⅱ) on the clays.When the solution system was diluted,the growth of algae could be further inhibited as compared to that in a system which had the same initial Zn(Ⅱ) concentration as in the diluted system.This in fact resulted from desorption of Zn(Ⅱ) from the zinc-contaminated clays,although the effect varied according to the different desorption capabilities of sepiolite and kaolinite.Therefore the adsorption and desorption processes of Zn(Ⅱ) played an important part in its toxicity,and adsorption and desorption of pollutants on soils/sediments should be well considered in natural eco-environmental systems before their risk of toxicity to aquatic organisms was assessed objectively.
