Biomarker responses and reproductive toxicity of the effluent from a Chinese large sewage treatment plant in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)

The present study was conducted to assess the potential toxicity of the effluent from a large sewage treatment plant (GBD-STP) in Beijing. Japanese medakas (Oryzias latipes) at reproduction active period were exposed to a serial of graded concentrations of the effluent or 100 ng l-1 of 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2, positive control). Growth, gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), reproductive success, induction potency of vitellogenin (VTG) in male fish and that of 7-ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity (EROD) in male fish liver were used as test endpoints. The growth suppression of fish was observed in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in significant differences in both body length and body weight of medaka above 5% effluent. This effluent can inhibit the growth of gonad of medakas and are more sensitive to male than to female. At exposure concentration of 40% and higher, there was an unexpected decrease of HSI values, which may be resulted from sub-lethal toxicity of effluent to fish liver. VTG of plasma in males were induced in all exposure concentration levels, but not in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration of 5% effluent would be the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) affecting reproductive success when examining fertile individuals, fecundity and fertilization rate. The overt CYP1A response and higher reproductive toxicity may be indicative of low process efficiency of this STP.     

负载氧化镧的活性炭还原NO的研究

稀土金属具有一些特殊的性能,这使得其对碳质材料还原NO的反应可能表现出特殊的催化效果,而此方面的研究没有报道.为了研究稀土金属对活性炭还原NO反应的催化效果,采用浸渍法制备了负载氧化镧的活性炭颗粒(La/C),并在无氧的固定床反应器中进行了程序升温反应和等温反应,考察了气体流量、NO的入口浓度、反应温度和氧化镧负载量对反应活性的影响,同时对反应机理和动力学进行了初步探讨.研究结果表明负载氧化镧的活性炭还原NO的反应是一级反应.由于炭表面3%(质量分数)的氧化镧的存在,C-NO反应的起始反应温度从500 ℃降低到300 ℃,反应活性大大提高,反应活化能从88.95 kJ/mol降低到51.05 kJ/mol.氧化镧的负载量对反应活性有重要影响,但负载量的大量增加对反应活性的提高效果甚微,最佳负载量为1.5%.La/C体系在反应中较稳定,而反应温度的升高对其稳定性不利.

Tolerance to,and avoidance of,hypoxia by the penaeid shrimp (Metapenaeus ensis)

Aquatic hypoxia caused by eutrophication may lead to mass mortality of valuable living resources such as fish and shrimp. However, there is little information on the hypoxic tolerance of penaeid shrimp, and whether they are able to avoid hypoxia. In laboratory experiments, LC50, LT50 and heart beats per minute were determined for juvenile Metapenaeus ensis at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 6.0 mg O2 l(-1). The 8-h LC50, for DO was 0.77 mg O2 l(-1), while the LT50 at 0.5 mg O2 l(-1) was 399 min. Heart beat rate significantly declined when DO fell below 1.0 mg O2 l(-1). When confronted with a gradient of dissolved oxygen, M. ensis were able to avoid hypoxic areas and move to oxygenated water. M. ensis appeared to be sensitive to hypoxia, and their ability to detect and avoid hypoxia may enhance their survival in habitats where hypoxia may occur.     

Sorption of arsenate and arsenite anions by iron(III)-poly(hydroxamic acid) complex

Iron(III)-poly(hydroxamic acid) resin complex has been studied for its sorption abilities with respect to arsenate and arsenite anions from an aqueous solution. The complex was found effective in removing the arsenate anion in the pH range of 2.0 to 5.5. The maximum sorption capacity was found to be 1.15 mmol/g. The sorption selectivity showed that arsenate sorption was not affected by chloride, nitrate and sulphate. The resin was tested and found effective for removal of arsenic ions from industrial wastewater samples.     

硫自养反硝化过程中含硫副产物产生规律及微生物群落结构的空间分布

为探究硫自养反硝化过程中含硫副产物的产生规律,建立了上流式硫自养固定床生物反应器,考察HRT（水力停留时间）对水中NO₃--N去除的影响,运用零级和1/2级反应动力学模型对NO₃--N还原过程进行拟合,通过测定与理论计算分析含硫副产物的产生趋势及规律,利用高通量测序技术（high-throughput sequencing）测定微生物群落结构空间分布特征.结果表明:①当进水NO₃--N浓度为（30.45±0.38）mg/L,HRT为4和1 h时,NO₃--N去除率达到98%以上.硫自养反硝化过程符合1/2级反应动力学模型,1/2K_1/2V（1/2级反应动力学速率常数）为5.69 mg1/2/（L1/2·h）.②出水SO₄2-的产生量接近理论值,S2-在反应器中部出现微量的积累,在出水口处浓度进一步降低（< 0.5 mg/L）.③HRT的缩短改变了反应器内部微生物群落α多样性的变化规律;Proteobacteria成为了最主要的优势菌群,各阶段所占比例均大于59%,Sulfurimonas为最常见的反硝化菌,在HRT为1 h时,反应器中部其丰度达到36%,成为反应器中的优势菌属;Desulfurella为SRB（硫酸盐还原菌）,其丰度的增加与反应器内部S2-的积累一致.研究显示,硫自养反硝化过程中产生的SO₄2-与理论值接近,S2-产生量沿反应器高度方向呈现先增加后降低的趋势,微生物群落结构分布情况与反应器高度有关.
