短期填埋龄垃圾堆体内微生物群落结构与种群分布特征

填埋垃圾的稳定化过程一般经历好氧过渡、水解酸化、初期产甲烷及稳定产甲烷阶段,固相垃圾的厌氧水解酸化阶段常被视为垃圾降解的限速步骤,而这一阶段微生物的降解作用是影响垃圾稳定化进程的关键.以青岛市小涧西生活垃圾填埋场短期填埋龄垃圾为研究对象,采用MiSeq高通量测序研究了填埋龄0～1、1.0～1.5、1.5～2 a垃圾堆体内微生物的群落结构多样性及种群分布特征.结果表明,0～1 a填埋龄垃圾微生物多样性高于1.0～1.5 a和1.5～2 a垃圾堆体,且微生物多样性整体上随填埋深度呈降低趋势.参与垃圾降解细菌多样性比真菌更丰富,而真菌多样性随填埋区域、填埋龄的不同呈现更显著的差异.参与短期填埋龄垃圾降解的细菌中,Firmicutes在填埋层上层为优势菌门,最大比例达到65%,Proteobacteria在填埋层中下层为优势菌门,最大比例达到88%.填埋上层细菌菌属以Defluviitoga、Aerococcus、Clostridium III和Proteiniphilum为主,而在中下层以Thiopseudomonas、Sporosarcina和Eionea为主.真菌主要包括3个菌门,Ascomycota在各点位均为最优势菌门,属水平上Kernia及Aspergillus作为常见的腐生菌属,在不同点位均有较高的丰度.冗余分析表明短期填埋龄垃圾堆体内微生物不同时空分布存在显著差异性,且细菌群落结构的变化受pH值影响较大,而真菌群落结构的变化与垃圾有机质密切相关.     

填埋场微生物功能特征与填埋时间关系研究

微生物在生活垃圾填埋场稳定化过程中起到核心作用,但不同稳定阶段微生物群落演替规律及其代谢功能特征研究较少,直接影响了调控方法的科学选择。该研究以不同填埋时间垃圾为对象,采用16S rRNA高通量测序技术,对其微生物群落多样性和功能基因属代谢特征进行了探究。结果表明,填埋场中微生物群落组成与填埋时间有关,主坐标分析分别解释了微生物群落丰度变化的26.26%和12.04%,埋时间<10 a的垃圾细菌群落组成和其他样品呈现显著差异;微生物α-多样性随填埋龄的增加而降低;厚壁菌门Firmicutes (相对丰度32.1%～64.1%)、变形菌门Proteobacteria (相对丰度28.6%～53.3%)是填埋场的优势菌门,Firmicutes具有促进大分子有机物降解的作用,随填埋时间增加而比例上升;Proteobacteria作为分解可溶性底物菌门,由于易降解有机物随填埋时间增加逐渐减少,其相对丰度呈下降趋势;填埋场功能基因属呈现多样性,共发现4种硫酸盐还原属、2种氮循环属、6种产甲烷功能属、1种有机污染物降解属、6种纤维素分解属及13种塑料降解属;KEGG 1级中的新陈代谢途径是最...     

北京市北神树生活垃圾填埋场产甲烷菌的群落结构和演替规律

产甲烷菌是填埋场稳定化的关键微生物.以北京市北神树垃圾填埋场为采样地,钻井采集了填埋深度6~36.1 m,填埋时间2~15 a的垃圾样品.采用PCR检验其中产甲烷菌的种类,并基于QPCR技术获得的数据,研究了各类产甲烷菌随时间和深度的数量变化,及其与垃圾化学性质之间的关系.发现堆体内有机质含量基本稳定,p H呈弱碱性,符合产甲烷阶段的化学特性.检测出两类乙酸营养型产甲烷菌(Methanosaeta和Methanosarcina),一类氢营养型产甲烷菌(Methanobacterials).随着填埋时间的延长,产甲烷菌呈现出先升高后下降的趋势,填埋9 a以上的垃圾中产甲烷菌群落结构趋于稳定.乙酸营养型的Methanosarcina为优势类群.三类产甲烷菌的含量与挥发性脂肪酸含量显著相关,与各类大分子有机质含量相关性很弱或不相关,表明产甲烷菌的数量受底物含量的影响,而在填埋2 a以上的垃圾中,大分子水解、发酵等作用对产甲烷菌影响微弱.     

城市生活垃圾填埋场稳定化影响因素概述

全面综述了垃圾组成、垃圾水分含量、垃圾预处理与填埋操作方式、填埋场地水文气象条件、渗滤液ｐＨ值与氧化还原电位及微生物种群等填埋场稳定化的影响因素。     

北京某垃圾填埋场空气微生物污染状况

以北京某垃圾填埋场不同功能区的空气微生物为研究对象,研究空气微生物在垃圾场的分布及污染状况.结果表明,受人员活动、车辆运输和植被覆盖的影响,垃圾填埋场不同区域的空气微生物浓度差异显著,尤以垃圾运输和填埋区域最高,并造成空气微生物污染.粒度分析表明,填埋区域能够进入肺部的空气微生物粒子所占比例偏高.由于受到渗滤液的影响,氧化沟测点耐高渗透压霉菌比例偏高,其他各点均是空气细菌占优.细菌中以革兰氏阳性菌(G+)最多,占90 7%～94.4%,而霉菌中的优势菌应为青霉菌.     

生活垃圾填埋场细菌气溶胶粒径分布及种群特征

卫生填埋是一种常用的生活垃圾处置方法.在倾倒、堆放、推平和压实等垃圾填埋过程中,有大量带有致病菌的微生物气溶胶逸散,污染空气,危害人体健康.本研究在华北地区某生活垃圾卫生填埋场设置采样点,采集空气中的细菌气溶胶,解析细菌气溶胶的浓度、粒径分布和种群特征,研究空气温度、相对湿度以及风速对细菌气溶胶逸散的影响.结果表明,作业区和覆盖区空气细菌浓度分别为(5 437±572) CFU·m~(-3)和(2 707±396) CFU·m~(-3).垃圾渗滤液处理区空气中的细菌气溶胶浓度最高,平均为9 460 CFU·m~(-3).细菌气溶胶的浓度呈现明显的季节变化,夏季浓度明显高于其他季节.冗余分析(RDA)显示,气象参数如相对湿度、温度和风速,显著影响细菌气溶胶在空气中的数量.作业区和覆盖区空气细菌粒径分布高峰分别在2. 1～4. 7μm和0. 65～2. 1μm.渗滤液处理逸散的细菌气溶胶大部分大于4. 7μm. Moraxellaceae,Bacillus aerius,Arcobacter以及Aeromonas是垃圾填埋场细菌气溶胶中检出潜在或机会致病菌.     

垃圾填埋场地下水溶解性有机物光谱特征

垃圾填埋为我国垃圾处理的最主要途径,填埋过程中渗滤液的泄漏将导致附近地下水污染.地下水中溶解性有机物(DOM)能示踪外来污染物的来源、形态和迁移转化过程,其组成、结构和分布的差异具有重要的环境指示意义.联合现代光谱技术及多元统计分析方法,研究了不同运行年限填埋场地下水中DOM来源、组成和分子结构特征,探究了不同年限地下水DOM动力学演化规律.结果表明,填埋场地下水DOM以微生物来源为主,其次为自生陆源.填埋前期阶段其微生物来源DOM较多,而在填埋后期微生物来源DOM减弱.填埋年限较短的填埋场地下水DOM主要为一些新生成腐殖化程度较低的易降解类色氨酸和类酪氨酸,其促进微生物活性,且各点位差异性较大,应提高预警措施.填埋时间相对较长的填埋场地下水有机质腐殖化率高,难降解的大分子物质累积,微生物活性减弱,填埋垃圾趋向稳定对地下水影响减弱.     

北京市北神树填埋场垃圾堆体总氮、总磷和总有机碳含量沿深度变化研究

营养元素是微生物生命活动赖以持续的物质之一。垃圾在降解过程中碳、氮、磷等营养元素的含量变化是堆体内微生物活动以及稳定化程度的重要表征。选择临近封场的北京市北神树垃圾卫生填埋场为研究对象,采用现场打井采样和室内分析的方法得到了不同深度(对应不同填埋年龄)垃圾中总氮、总磷和总有机碳的含量。结果表明:新鲜垃圾(填埋1~2年)与陈腐垃圾(填埋3~12年)中3种元素含量相差较大,总氮、总磷和总有机碳含量分别从4.91%、2.54%和37.67%变化为9.67%、2.92%和10.95%。陈腐垃圾中营养元素含量沿深度变化不大,3种元素变化范围分别为8%~11%、2%~4%和5%~16%。说明填埋3年后的垃圾能基本实现稳定。此外,陈腐垃圾中总有机碳与总磷含量变化呈现显著的相关性,而总有机碳与总氮含量、总氮与总磷含量并无显著相关。     

长春市简易垃圾填埋场中垃圾特性研究

从长春市一个封场垃圾填埋场中系统采集了不同填埋年龄(8~12年和25~30年)和不同位置(上层和下层)的垃圾样品,并对其基本特性进行了分析。结果发现,填埋垃圾总体呈弱碱性,含水率随填埋时间的增加而减小,上层垃圾含水率低于下层垃圾;从垃圾组成、有机质和生物可降解物(BDM)来看,8~12年的填埋垃圾仍处于不稳定状态,而25~30年的垃圾基本达到稳定化,但上层和下层垃圾的降解程度无明显区别。这表明传统填埋场中垃圾稳定化至少需要几十年的时间。因此开发能够加速垃圾稳定性填埋场的生物反应器修复技术具有重要意义,填埋垃圾的特性分析则为工程设计提供了必要的基础数据。     

佛山市垃圾填埋场地下废气组成与产量研究

在佛山市五峰山垃圾卫生填埋场安装地下废气监测井,对地下废气的组成与性质进行监测,在位于较迟填埋垃圾区域的监测井内,地下废气ＣＨ４、ＣＯ２的浓度较高,较稳定,在位于较早填埋垃圾区域的监测井内,地上废气ＣＨ４、ＣＯ２的浓度较低,变化也较大,且在最后一次监测中,井内的废气已失去了垃圾填埋场废气的特征,说明地下垃圾的厌氧分解过程已经完成或者厌氧环境已被破坏,前后只约持续了４ａ的时间,远低于预期所需的１０－     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Toxicity assessing for chlorpyrifos-contaminated soil with three different earthworm test methods

Earthworm toxicity tests are useful tools for terrestrial risk assessment but require a hierarchy of test designs that differ in effect levels (behavior, sublethal, lethal). In this study, the toxicity of chlorpyrifos contaminated soil on earthworms was assessed. In addition to the acute and chronic tests, an avoidance response test was applied. Earthworms were exposed to sublethal and lethal concentration of chlorpyrifos, and evaluated for acute toxicity, growth, fecundity and avoidance response after a certain exposure period. The test methods covered all important ecological relevant endpoints (acute, chronic, behavioral). Concentration of 78.91 mg/kg, chlorpyrifos caused significant toxic effects in all test methods, but at lower test concentrations, only significant chronic toxic effects could be observed. In the present study, chlorpyrifos had adverse effect on growth and fecundity in earthworm exposed to 5 mg/kg chlorpyrifos after eight weeks. The avoidance response test, however, showed significant repellent effects concentration of 40 mg/kg chlorpyrifos. For chlorpyrifos, concentration affecting avoidance response was far greater than growth and fecundity, it seemed likely that earthworms were not able to escape from pesticide-contaminated soil into the clean soil in field and hence were exposed continuously to elevated concentrations of pesticides.     

Leaching of styrene and other aromatic compounds in drinking water from PS bottles

Bottled water may not be safer, or healthier, than tap water. The present studies have proved that styrene and some other aromatic compounds leach continuously from polystyrene （PS） bottles used locally for packaging. Water sapmles in contact with PS were extracted by a preconcentration technique called as ＂purge and trap＂ and analysed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer （GC/MS）. Eleven aromatic compounds were identified in these studies. Maximum concentration of styrene in PS bottles was 29.5 μg/L. Apart from styrene, ethyl benzene, toluene and benzene were also quantified but their concentrations were much less than WHO guide line values. All other compounds were in traces. Quality of plastic and storage time were the major factor in leaching of styrene. Concentration of styrene was increased to 69.53 μg/L after one-year storage. In Styrofoam and PS cups studies, hot water was found to be contaminated with styrene and other aromatic compounds. It was observed that temperature played a major role in the leaching of styrene monomer from Styrofoam cups. Paper cups were found to be safe for hot drinks.     

Sludge concentration dynamic distribution and its impact on the performance of UNITANK

UNITANK is a biological wastewater treatment process that combines the advantages of traditional activated sludge process and sequencing batch reactor, which is divided into Tank A, B and C. In this study, the sludge distribution and its impact on performance of UNITANK were carried out in Liede Wastewater Plant （WWTP） of Guangzhou, China. Results showed that there was a strong affiliation between Tank A and B of the system in sludge concentration distribution. The initial sludge concentration in Tank A could present the sludge distribution of the whole system. The sludge distribution was mainly influenced by hydraulic condition. Unsteady sludge distribution had an impact on variations of substrates in reactors, especially in decisive reactor, and this could lead to failure of system. Settler could partially remove substrates such as COD and NO3-N, but there was adventure of sludge deterioration. The rational initial sludge concentration in Tank A should be 4000-6000 mg/L MLSS.     

Treated wastewater irrigation effect on soil, crop and environment： Wastewater recycling in the loess area of China

A study was carried out at the Loess Plateau in Dongzhi,China,to test the feasibility of using secondary treatment sewage effluent and to determine whether the water quality would then meet the recommended irrigation norm.Seven crops,including celery,wheat, maize,millet,apples,rapeseed and yellow beans,were tested in the study.Physical and chemical properties of the soil,crop yield and quality and leachate at different soil depths were measured.In most cases,the quality of the crops that made use of treated sewage was not distinctively different from those that did not use treated sewage.However,yields for the former were much higher than they were for the latter.Leachates at different soil depths were analyzed and the results did not show alarming levels of constituents.For a period of approximately 14 months,the treated sewage irrigation had no significant effect on the loess soil and no cases of illness resulting from contact with the treated sewage were reported.With treated sewage irrigation,a slight increase in the organic content of the soil was observed.     

Spatial variability of organochlorine pesticides （DDTs and HCHs） in surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing, China

The spatial variability in the concentrations of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) in surface soils was studied on the basis of the analysis of 131 soil samples collected from the surface layer (0-20 cm depth) of the alluvial region of Beijing, China. The concentrations of total HCHs (including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-isomers) and total DDTs (i ncluding p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDE, and o,p'-DDT) in the surface soils tested were in the range from nondetectable to 31.72 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 0.91, and from nondetectable to 5910.83 μg/kg dry soil, with a mean value of 32.13,respectively. It was observed that concentrations of HCHs in all soil samples and concentrations of DDTs in 112 soil samples were much lower than the first grade (50 μg/kg) permitted in "Environment quality standard for soils in China (GB15618-1995)". This suggests that the pollution due to organochlorine pesticides was generally not significant in the farmland soils in the Beijing alluvial region. In this study, the spatial distribution and trend of HCHs and DDTs were analyzed using Geostatistical Analyst and GS (513).Spatial distribution indicated how these pesticides had been applied in the past. Trend analysis showed that the concentrations of HCHs,DDTs, and their related metabolites followed an obvious distribution trend in the surface soils from the alluvial region of Beijing.     

Heavy metal availability and impact on activity of soil microorganisms along a Cu/Zn contamination gradient

All the regulations that define a maximum concentration of metals in the receiving soil are based on total soil metal concentration. However, the potential toxicity of a heavy metal in the soil depends on its speciation and availability. We studied the effects of heavy metal speciation and availability on soil microorganism activities along a Cu/Zn contamination gradient. Microbial biomass and enzyme activity of soil contaminated with both Cu and Zn were investigated. The results showed that microbial biomass was negatively affected by the elevated metal levels. The microbial biomass-C （Cmic）/organic C （Corg） ratio was closely correlated to heavy metal stress. There were negative correlations between soil microbial biomass, phosphatase activity and NH4NO3 extractable heavy metals. The soil microorganism activity could be predicted using empirical models with the availability of Cu and Zn. We observed that 72% of the variation in phosphatase activity could be explained by the NH4NO3-extractable and total heavy metal concentration. By considering different monitoring approaches and different viewpoints, this set of methods applied in this study seemed sensitive to site differences and contributed to a better understanding of the effects of heavy metals on the size and activity of microorganisms in soils. The data presented demonstrate the relationship between heavy metals availability and heavy metal toxicity to soil microorganism along a contamination gradient.     

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fishes from Taihu Lake, China

The Cr,Zn,Cu,Cd,Pb contents were determined in Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus,Carassius auratus Linnaeus,Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Aristichthys nobilis,which were caught from Meiliang Bay,Taihu Lake,a large,shallow and eutrophic lake of China.The results showed that:(1)the Cr,Cu,Pb,Cd contents in the edible parts of the four fish species were much lower than Chinese Food Health Criterion(1994),but the Zn contents were higher than the Criterion;(2)Cd contents were the highest in the liver of fish,Pb contents were almost the same in all organs of fish,Cr contents mainly enriched in the skin and gonads,Zn contents were the highest in the gonad(♀),and Cu contents were the highest in the liver;(3)the total metal accumulation was the greatest in the liver and the lowest in the muscle.The total metal accumulation was the highest in C.auratus L.This investigation indicated that fish products in Taihu Lake were still safe for human consumption,but the amount consumed should be controlled under the Chinese Food Health Criterion to avoid excessive intake of Zn.     

Biological control experiment of excess propagation of Cyclops for drinking water security

Cyclops of zooplankton propagated excessively in eutrophic water body and could not be effectively inactivated by the conventional disinfections process like chlorination due to its stronger resistance to oxidation. In this study, an ecological project was put forward for the excess propagation control of Cyclops by stocking the filter-feeding fishes such as silver carp and bighead carp under the condition of no extraneous nutrient feeding. The results of experiments with different stocking biomass showed that the propagation of Cyclops could be controlled effectively, and the water quality was improved simultaneously by impacting on nutriment level and plankton community structure at proper stocking density of 30 g/m^3 of water. The growth of Cyclops may not be effectually controlled with lower biomass of fish （10 g）, and the natural food chain relation may be destroyed for Cyclops dying out in water while the intense stocking of 120 g per cubic meter of water. In addition, the high predator pressure may accelerate supplemental rate of nutrients from bottom sediments to water body to add the content of total nitrogen and phosphorus in water.
