Production of vermifertilizer from guar gum industrial wastes by using composting earthworm <Emphasis Type="Italic">Perionyx sansibaricus</Emphasis> (Perrier)

Efforts have been made to convert the guar gum industrial waste into a value-added product, by employing a new earthworm species for vermicomposting e.g. Perionyx sansibaricus (Perrier) (Megascolecidae), under laboratory conditions. Industrial lignocellulosic waste was amended with other organic supplements (saw dust and cow dung); and three types of vermibeds were prepared: guar gum industrial waste + cow dung + saw dust in 40: 30: 30 ratio (T₁), guar gum industrial waste + cow dung + saw dust in 60: 20: 20 ratio (T_2,), and guar gum industrial waste + cow dung + saw dust in 75: 15: 10 ratio (T₃). As compared to initial concentrations, vermicomposts exhibited a decrease in organic C content (5.0–11.3%) and C:N ratio (11.1–24.4%) and an increase in total N (18.4–22.8%), available P (39.7–92.4%), and exchangeable K (9.4–19.7%) contents, after 150 days of vermicomposting. A vermicomposting coefficient (VC) was used to compare of vermicomposting with the experimental control (composting). P. sansibaricus exhibited maximum value of mean individual live weight (742.8 ± 21.1 mg), biomass gain (442.94 ± 21.8 mg), growth rate (2.95 ± 0.15 mg day⁻¹), cocoon numbers (96.0 ± 5.1) and reproduction rate (cocoons worm⁻¹ day⁻¹) (0.034 ± 0.001) in T₂ treatment. In T₃ maximum mortality (30.0 ± 4.01 %) in earthworm population was observed. Overall, T₂ vermibed appeared as an ideal substrate to manage guar gum industrial waste effectively. Vermicomposting can be proposed as a low-input basis technology to convert industrial waste into value-added biofertilizer.

Biodegradation of Whey Protein-Based Edible Films

The biodegradability of the edible films made of whey proteins by disulfide cross-linking was investigated. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) films were subjected to microbial degradation using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and composting burial degradation. Results from the microbial degradation showed that whey protein films could support the growth of P. aeruginosa. The bacterial growth characteristics were well described using the Gompertz model. WPC films degraded faster than WPI films, suggesting that the biodegradability of protein films is associated with the film composition and the extent of covalent cross-linking. WPI films buried in a compost pile began to degrade in two days and became darker over time. More than 80% of total solids were lost in 7 days.     

堆肥修复土壤金属污染研究进展

堆肥是有机废弃物资源化的产物,利用堆肥修复土壤的金属污染有着重大意义.堆肥可通过直接与金属产生氧化还原作用、沉淀作用、吸附作用或间接改变土壤理化性质如酸碱度,氧化还原电位等降低土壤金属的生物有效性和移动性,但具体修复效果因土壤、金属、堆肥三者性质的不同而差异甚大.本文对国内外利用堆肥修复土壤金属污染的研究进展进行了综述,指出了理论研究和实际修复中存在的一些问题,并对其发展前景进行了展望.     

温度对奶牛粪便温室气体排放的影响

采用封闭罐-气相色谱法对4种不同温度处理下奶牛粪便温室气体排放速率进行测定.结果表明,温度是影响奶牛粪便温室气体排放的主要因子,温度较低时奶牛粪便温室气体排放速率低,而且随着奶牛粪便处理温度升高而增大.在5、15、25和35℃4个处理中,奶牛粪便CO2排放速率两两之间差异显著;CH4排放速率除了5和15℃处理差异不显著之外,其他两两处理之间差异显著;35℃处理时N2O排放速率与其他温度的排放速率差异均显著,其他两两处理之间差异不显著.     

Influence of cow-dung amendment on glyphosate mobility in soil

Abstract

Sorption and desorption characteristics of glyphosate on native soil and soil amended with cow dung were investigated. Sorption was pH dependent and decreased with increasing pH. Glyphosate partition coefficient ranged from 275 to 16,200?L kg^?1 in native soil, but for soil amended with cow dung it was significantly lower, viz 180–1530?L kg^?1. Glyphosate partition coefficient showed strong negative correlation with cation exchange capacity and positive correlation with surface area. Phosphate in cow dung suppressed glyphosate sorption and enhanced desorption. This study revealed that cow-dung addition to soil could raise the mobility of glyphosate towards groundwater contamination due to the presence of phosphate.     

KOH活化法制备牛粪活性炭的研究

以牛粪为原料,采用KOH活化法制备活性炭,并考察了浸渍比、活化剂浓度、活化时间和活化温度等不同制备条件对牛粪活性炭样品性能的影响.实验结果表明,在浸渍比1∶4、KOH质量分数35%、活化时间60min、活化温度700℃条件下制备的活性炭性能最佳,制得的活性炭比表面积为979.8m2·g-1,碘吸附值可达796.37mg·g-1,亚甲基蓝吸附值可达150.30mg·g-1.最后,将制备的牛粪活性炭应用于对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附,研究了最佳工艺条件下制备的活性炭吸附Cr(Ⅵ)的适宜条件.结果表明,在投加量为8g·L-1时、吸附时间90min、pH值为5和较低温度的适宜条件下,自制牛粪活性炭对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附量最大.     

污泥和鸡粪生物炭制备及其老化过程中的碳损失

生物炭具有高度的碳(C)稳定性,是一种良好的固碳材料.污泥富含无机矿物质,热解制备生物炭过程中其内源矿物会富集,影响固碳能力.在500、 600和700℃下制备市政污泥生物炭(SZB)、药厂污泥生物炭(YCB)和鸡粪生物炭(JFB),并模拟其在土壤中70～100 a老化过程,利用元素分析、傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、 X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、离子质谱仪(ICP)和X射线衍射(XRD)等分析手段,测定其理化性质并计算C损失.结果表明,热解过程中,生物炭内源矿物种类和质量分数决定生物炭C损失,其中Ca和Mg是主要的C保护矿物,而Fe的存在会降低生物炭C稳定性,增加C损失.老化过程中,生物炭C的自身稳定性对其C损失起主要作用,矿物起辅助作用.研究揭示了生物炭内源C和矿物组分对其C损失的影响规律,为利用污泥和鸡粪生物炭土壤固碳提供参考.     

猪粪稻秸超高温预处理促进后续堆肥腐殖化条件优化

以猪粪稻秸为原料,设计超高温预处理温度（75,85,95℃）、时间（2,4,8h）和通风量（0.3,0.6,0.9L/kgTS·h）的三因素三水平正交试验,研究不同超高温预处理条件对猪粪稻秸理化特性及后续模拟堆肥腐殖质生成的影响,结果表明,温度、时间和通气量对猪粪稻秸后续高温堆肥腐殖化系数影响各不相同,各因素对后续好氧发酵累腐殖化系数的影响大小顺序为大小顺序为预处理时间 > 温度 > 通气量;最佳超高温预处理条件为：预处理温度为95℃,停留时间为4h,通气量为0.6L/（kgTS·h）,与CK相比,最佳预处理参数下猪粪稻秸后续高温发酵60d腐殖化系数提高119%,腐殖质、胡敏酸含量分别增加105%、116%,而富里酸含量降低17.2%,结合预处理前后物料理化特性变化规律分析,表明超高温预处理促进了大分子有机物降解为可溶性有机碳,促进了木质纤维素组分降解溶出,促使其更多转化为多酚,同时增加了腐殖质前体还原糖、氨基酸的含量,从而有利于腐殖质的生成.     

施用污泥堆肥品对土壤和植物总汞及甲基汞的影响

采用田间试验,分别施加两种不同的污泥堆肥品(含生物质炭和不含生物质炭),研究污泥堆肥土地利用过程土壤及植物总汞和甲基汞变化情况、迁移转化特征和植物富集能力.结果表明,施加污泥堆肥品会引起土壤总汞和甲基汞含量升高,但总汞含量低于国家土壤环境质量二级标准.生物质炭堆肥品可能促进土壤汞的甲基化,但不同处理土壤甲基汞/总汞(Me Hg/THg)比值较低.植物成熟后不同处理植物总汞含量明显低于幼苗期,而甲基汞含量均高于幼苗期.施加两种堆肥品对植物富集总汞没有明显差异,但对甲基汞富集影响显著.施加生物质炭堆肥品的土壤甲基汞含量明显高于施加无生物质炭堆肥品的土壤,而植物甲基汞含量则相反.生物质炭的加入可能有利于土壤甲基汞形成,但不利于甲基汞的迁移,抑制植物对土壤甲基汞的富集.植物对甲基汞的富集能力较强(富集系数为1.24~14.63),需关注长期施肥带来的土壤环境汞生态风险.
