多级厌氧法处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣效果的研究

通过自主设计的多级厌氧反应器系统来考察半连续处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣的效果。该系统总反应体积为44L，由4个11L的升流式厌氧反应罐组成，罐体间采用串联方式连接。121d的连续运行周期分为3个阶段，各阶段的有机负荷率分别为1．27、1．82和2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）。全过程中主要监测了各级罐体的产气量和螺旋霉素的降解。结果表明，多级厌氧反应器系统启动初期会出现产气不稳定现象，经过2个月的运行之后系统达到稳定状态。在有机负荷达到2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）时，各级罐体仍能稳定运行，总产气的45％集中在1号罐。在系统启动初期，螺旋霉素不能被明显降解。运行约80d后，整个体系达到了快速降解螺旋霉素的状态，在2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）的有机负荷率下，螺旋霉素降解率达到97％，同时可溶性COD降解率也达到了90％。     

高氨废水短程硝化特性简

采用SBR装置，针对高氨废水的特点，在高氨条件下，以高氨低氧为转化手段，实现高氨废水短程硝化过程中亚硝化菌的驯化与积累。控制温度为28~31℃，曝气量为15~60 L/h，pH控制在7.8~8.2的条件下连续运行78 d。实验结果表明，运行11 d后实现了短程硝化，从11 d至78 d属于系统氨氮负荷提高期。在运行过程中，氨氮污泥负荷从开始的0.023 kg/（kg·d）逐步上升为0.3 kg/（kg·d），最高时达到0.34 kg/（kg·d），此时氨氮去除率仍维持90%以上。为观察驯化后短程硝化菌的形态，取驯化好的污泥进行电镜扫描，结果表明，污泥中的细菌形态主要以球状菌为主。     

Alterations in neurobehaviors and inflammation in hippocampus of rats induced by oral administration of microcystin-LR

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a widely studied toxic peptide secreted by certain water blooms of cyanobacteria that exhibit hepatotoxicity and neural toxicity. This study aimed to observe the neurotoxic effects of low-dose MC-LR exposure by oral administration. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were administered orally every 2 days for 8 weeks with pure water and 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 μg/kg MC-LR. The Morris water maze test was used to assess the spatial learning and memory capability of rats. The activation of astrocytes and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) in rat hippocampus were analyzed. Slight liver dysfunction was observed in the 5.0 μg/kg MC-LR-treated rats. Impairment of spatial learning and memory was also observed in the 5.0 μg/kg MC-LR-treated rats. Astrocytes in the hippocampus of the 5.0 μg/kg MC-LR-treated rats showed enhanced activation and cell density; the inflammatory indicators, NOS and NO, increased in accordance with astrocyte activation. This study showed that oral exposure of MC-LR had adverse affects on neurobehaviors, and induced inflammation in memory-related brain regions.     

Effects of Three Fire-Suppressant Foams on the Germination and Physiological Responses of Plants

Suppressant foams used to fight forest fires may leave residual effects on surviving biota that managers need to consider prior to using them. We examined how three fire-suppressant foams (FSFs) (Forexpan S, Phos-Chek-WD881, and Silv-ex) affected seed germination and physiological responses of three plant species. Exposure to FSFs, whether in diluted concentrations or those typical in the field, reduced final germination percentages of seeds grown in petri dishes and within growth chambers. However, the FSFs did not cause total germination failure in any treatment. Inhibition of germination increased with longer exposure times, but only to diluted FSF solutions. Unlike in the laboratory experiments, none of the three FSFs affected seedling emergence when tested in field conditions. Further, we found no evidence of long-term phytotoxic effects on antioxidant enzyme activity nor chlorophyll content of the plant saplings. Therefore, although the three FSFs showed evidence of phytotoxicity to plants in laboratory tests, their actual impact on terrestrial ecosystems may be minimal. We suggest that the benefits of using these FSFs to protect plants in threatened forest ecosystems outweigh their minor risks.

采用非电沉积法制备了钯负载泡沫镍电极,运用SEM技术对其进行了表征,并以其阴极、铂丝为阳极进行了电化学还原三氯乙酸的研究,考察了工艺条件对三氯乙酸降解效果的影响,并对反应动力学和反应机理和进行了探讨。结果表明:钯负载泡沫镍电极具有较高的比表面积和良好的储氢性能;以20 mmol/L硫酸钠为电解质,在电解温度为20℃、钯负载量为4.5 mg/cm~2的条件下恒流(10 mA)电解240 min,三氯乙酸降解率达99.76%,氯原子脱除率达73.86%;三氯乙酸的电化学还原反应过程以及三氯乙酸上未脱除氯原子浓度的变化均符合拟一级反应动力学方程;三氯乙酸在电化学还原过程中逐个脱除氯原子。     

奥运前期与奥运期间北京市大气细颗粒物特征比较分析

利用城市生态系统研究站对北京市奥运前后(2008年6～9月)大气中细颗粒物(PM2.5)进行连续监测,获得不同阶段PM2.5日平均浓度的动态特征,分析气象因素、人为控制管理措施对颗粒物浓度的影响.结果表明,近北五环的生态中心站点(RCEES)颗粒物日均浓度平均值为0.067 mg.m-3,奥运期间的颗粒物浓度(0.060 mg.m-3)比奥运前期(0.081 mg.m-3)减少了约26%.而位于南二环市中心的教学植物园站点(JX)颗粒物浓度平均含量为0.078 mg.m-3.JX站点奥运期间的颗粒物浓度(0.069 mg.m-3)比奥运前期(0.095 mg.m-3)减少了约27%.各个阶段PM2.5的日变化都基本呈现双峰态势.第一个峰值出现在08:00～10:00左右,RCEES站点颗粒物浓度为0.068 mg.m-3,JX站点浓度值为0.089 mg.m-3;另一个峰值出现在晚20:00～22:00左右,RCEES和JX站点颗粒物浓度为0.079 mg.m-3和0.083 mg.m-3,这主要与上班交通高峰导致的尾气排放污染和道路扬尘污染等有关.研究气象参数发现奥运期间与奥运前期气象条件无显著差异,属于高温高湿风力不大的典型北京夏季天气条件.奥运期间颗粒物浓度与温度呈显著正相关(P<0.01),而与风速、相对湿度及降水相关性不显著(P>0.05).而连续多年大气污染综合治理措施和奥运空气质量保障措施的实施,产生了显著环境效益.在自然因素相差不大的条件下,人为控制因素对奥运期间颗粒物的下降起到主导作用.     

Study on the optical property and surface morphology of N doped TiO2 film deposited with different N2 flow rates by DCPMS

N doped TiO₂ films were deposited by direct current pulse magnetron sputtering system at room temperature. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and atomic force microscope, we studied the influence of N₂ flow rate on the optical property and surface morphology of films. The results indicate that the optical property and surface morphology of N doped TiO₂ film was dominated by the N₂ flow rate. The mean absorbency in visible range of pure TiO₂ films is near to 0%, which means that the pure TiO₂ could hardly display the photocatalytic property in visible range. When N₂ flow rate is 2 sccm, the mean absorbency in visible range of N doped TiO₂ film could reach at 24%. In this case, the film could be used as photocatalyst induced by visible light. While with increasing N₂ flow rate, the mean absorbency in visible range of N doped TiO₂ film decreased abruptly. Especially when N₂ flow rate exceeded 8 sccm, the mean absorbency in visible range of N doped TiO₂ film decreased to about 0%, which is like pure TiO₂ fimls.
