初始氨氮浓度对钝顶螺旋藻生长及其去除率的影响

螺旋藻是一种经济价值很高的微藻,研究氨氮对钝顶螺旋藻生长及其去除水中氨氮效率的影响,探讨其在废水处理中的可行性具有重要意义。结果表明,以硫酸铵作为氮源时,钝顶螺旋藻的对数期一般在4～6 d,随着氨氮浓度的升高对数期略有提前。钝顶螺旋藻对硫酸氨的耐受浓度为0.5 g/L,相应的氨氮浓度为106 mg/L。培养4～6 d时氨氮浓度下降幅度最大,培养结束时氨氮去除率为67.7%～82.5%,当硫酸铵投加量为0.4 g/L时,氨氮去除率最高,达82.6%。因此,螺旋藻可用于去除废水中的氨氮,具有很好的应用前景。     

沼液SBR处理出水养殖螺旋藻

养猪沼液氮磷等营养物质丰富,可作为廉价的螺旋藻培养基,但其成分复杂,尤其是高氨氮等因素严重抑制螺旋藻的生长.采用序批式生物反应器(sequencing batch reactor,SBR)降低沼液中的氨氮浓度,通过改变进水中化学需氧量(chemical oxygen demand,COD)与总氮(total nitrogen,TN)的比值,研究了沼液中的亚硝态氮及硝态氮的保留情况,为螺旋藻生长提供氮源.通过对比螺旋藻在不同工况出水中的生长情况,以及氮元素的保留情况,筛选出最佳SBR工况.摇瓶试验结果表明,当进水COD/TN=3.0,出水中氨氮、硝态氮、亚硝态氮浓度分别为51.2、91.6、213.1 mg·L~(-1),此时螺旋藻具有较快生长速率,产率达到0.084 g·(L·d)~(-1).在此基础之上,通过放大螺旋藻培养规模至120L,研究了螺旋藻在室外大棚中的生长情况及螺旋藻对沼液中氮、磷元素的去除,结果表明螺旋藻在室外依然生长良好,培养10 d后,产率为(0.075±0.003)g·(L·d)~(-1),螺旋藻蛋白含量达到60%左右,养殖出水中氨氮去除率达到99%.     

投加介体强化低温污水生物反硝化脱氮的研究

冬季低温条件下,污水脱氮效果容易变差。研究了在低温(10±1)℃条件下,投加介体1,2-萘醌-4磺酸(NQS)对生物反硝化脱氮的影响。实验结果表明:当硝态氮的浓度为65~85 mg/L,温度控制在(10±1)℃条件时,生物的反硝化脱氮性能变差,但投加介体后可以显著改善这种性能,硝态氮的浓度从开始的84.27 mg/L降为64.34 mg/L,与空白实验硝态氮去除率的15.78%相比,投加介体可以使硝态氮的去除率提高到23.65%,脱氮速率达2.66 mg NO_x~--N/(g VSS·h)。

试验通过在进水中投加有机碳源(白糖),研究有机碳源对一体化厌氧氨氧化反应器脱氮性能的影响。试验结果表明:进水COD浓度对一体化厌氧氨氧化反应器脱氮性能产生明显的影响。当进水中COD浓度约为50mg/L时,即可导致系统总氮去除率大幅度下降,出水总氮去除率由不添加COD的87.8%降至76%,氨氮去除率由不添加COD的98.8%降至85%;当进水COD浓度上升至约100mg/L时,出水总氮的去除率由不添加COD的87.8%降至69%,氨氮去除率由不添加COD的98.8%降至77%;当进水COD浓度约为100mg/L时,并将调节槽曝气量由原来的0.4L/min增至0.6L/min,系统出水水质明显得到优化,总氮去除率恢复到未投加COD时的水平。有效地控制一体化厌氧氨氧化反应器内有机碳源的量,能明显地提高系统的脱氮效果。     

菌株Diaphorobacter polyhydroxybutyrativorans SL-205的反硝化特性

为强化硝酸盐污染水的反硝化脱氮,研究了反硝化新菌株Diaphorobacter polyhydroxybutyrativorans SL-205~T利用不同碳源的缺氧反硝化性能,以及利用固体碳源聚羟基丁酸戊酸共聚酯(PHBV)的好氧反硝化特性.结果表明,在缺氧状态下,菌株SL-205~T分别以乙酸钠、琥珀酸钠和PHBV为唯一碳源时,硝酸盐去除率均达到99%以上;当初始硝态氮浓度为315mg/L时,PHBV的最适投加量为2.0g/L.菌株SL-205~T能利用PHBV进行好氧反硝化,当反应进行到36h时,硝酸盐去除率达到94.54%,平均反硝化速率为8.69mg/(L·h),并且在反应结束时没有亚硝酸盐和氧化亚氮的积累.以上结果为该菌株在废水脱氮处理中的应用奠定了实验基础.     

不同碳源对活性污泥反硝化能力的影响研究

针对城镇污水处理中碳源不足影响系统脱氮能力的问题,分别以乙酸钠、葡萄糖作为外源性碳源,考察其对活性污泥反硝化脱氮能力的影响。研究结果表明:在碳源投加量分别为50,100,200 mg/L条件下,单位(g)NO-3-N去除增量所需乙酸钠/葡萄糖的投加量分别为8.24 g/49.02g、9.62g/22.57g、—/21.07g。乙酸钠可用作城镇污水脱氮除磷过程中的高效外源性碳源,但从污水处理运行经济性来看,需根据系统实际需去除NO-3-N的量,合理确定碳源投加量。     

碳源调控下复合垂直流人工湿地脱氮研究

碳源是制约生物脱氮效率的重要因素.我国城市污水碳源不足,需要考虑补充碳源提供反硝化电子供体.在复合垂直流人工湿地(IVCW)系统中,通过湿地特有的通气管补充碳源到湿地底部,改善了湿地内部微生物环境,强化了湿地脱氮功能,对氮的去除效率有显著提高.结果表明,葡萄糖作为外加碳源提高系统的反硝化能力要优于羧甲基纤维素(CMC),投加葡萄糖的系统比未补充碳源的系统脱氮效率有显著提高(p0.05).通过投加不同量的葡萄糖进行对比实验,发现对于处理量60 L.d-1的IVCW系统最佳葡萄糖投加量为1.5 g.此时C6H12O6∶NO3--N的质量比仅为4.3,这个投加量远低于在进水中为满足反硝化所需调控的C/N,因此通气管投加碳源的方式可节约外加碳源成本.此外,在进水前4h投加碳源要优于进水时加入碳源.     

不同C/N比和碳源种类条件下的SNAD生物膜脱氮性能

通过批试实验研究了C/N比和碳源种类对SNAD生物膜厌氧氨氧化耦合反硝化脱氮性能的影响.SNAD生物膜反应器以生活污水为进水,以鲍尔环为生物膜载体,具有良好的SNAD脱氮性能.以乙酸钠为碳源,研究了COD/NO_2~--N比对SNAD生物膜厌氧氨氧化耦合反硝化脱氮性能的影响.随着C0D/NO_2~--N比的增加,厌氧氨氧化亚硝态氮去除量占总亚硝态氮去除量的百分比逐渐减小.C0D/NO_2~--N比分别为1、2、3、4和5实验组对应的厌氧氨氧化亚硝态氮去除量占总亚硝态氮去除量的百分比分别为87.1%、52.2%、29.3%、23.7%和16.3%.当C0D/NO_2~--N比为0~2时,厌氧氨氧化亚硝态氮去除量占总亚硝态氮去除量的百分比大于50%,SNAD生物膜可以实现良好的耦合脱氮.控制C0D/N0_2~--N为5,研究了碳源种类对SNAD生物膜厌氧氨氧化耦合反硝化脱氮性能的影响.以甲酸钠、乙酸钠、丙酸钠和葡萄糖为碳源实验组对应的厌氧氨氧化亚硝态氮去除量占总亚硝态氮去除量的百分比分别为16.3%、37.1%、74.1%和76.8%.当以丙酸钠或葡萄糖为外加碳源并且C0D/NO_2~--N=5时,SNAD生物膜可以实现良好的耦合脱氮.     

三种反硝化滤池深度脱氮中试

以污水厂实际二级出水为处理目标,通过中试试验研究了陶粒滤料反硝化生物滤池、固定床反硝化砂滤池和连续过滤连续反冲砂滤池的特性。以甲醇作为外加碳源,3种滤池均可实现出水平均总氮小于5 mg/L。不足量投加外碳源会出现出水亚硝态氮的积累。当进水TN为15 mg/L左右时,为达到出水TN小于5 mg/L,生物滤池、固定床砂滤池和连续过滤砂滤池建议滤速分别为不大于8,5.2,6.2 m/h;滤池反硝化碳源投加比例分别为4.28,3.0,3.2 g甲醇/gTN;对应的反硝化容积负荷平均值分别为1.1,0.8,1.2 kg/(m3·d)。进水组分分析发现,有机氮不是出水总氮小于5 mg/L的限制因素。     

催化还原法深度处理污水中硝态氮的研究

为有效降低城市污水处理厂出水硝态氮的含量,减轻氮素污染,依次进行了基础性试验和验证性试验.基础性试验以Fe0为还原剂,以配置的KNO3溶液为试验用水对分别添加H+、Fe2+、Cu2+、Pd/Al2O3等后的脱氮效果进行了对比研究.试验结果表明,系统pH值为2.1,Fe2+、Cu2+投加量分别为1000mg/L时,系统均可获得较好的脱氮效果,分别为92%、41%、61%,产物均以氨氮为主;当投加10g/L催化剂Pd/Al2O3,调节系统pH值为3.02时,系统脱氮率可达48%,且其产物以氮气为主,副产物较少.在此基础上,验证性试验以北京市某污水处理厂出水为试验用水,对上述各方法的脱氮效果进行了试验验证,并对其可行性进行了分析.结果表明,在一定条件下,各方法均可达到理想的脱氮效果,其去除率分别可达到87%、36%、50%、46%.但综合脱氮效果、产物分析、出水水质等考虑,相比较而言,添加催化剂的化学催化还原法在去除污水中的硝态氮时具有更好的可行性.     

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.
