Pollution profiles and physicochemical parameters in old uncontrolled landfills

The long-term effectiveness of the geological barrier beneath municipal-waste landfills is a critical issue for soil and groundwater protection. This study examines natural clayey soils directly in contact with the waste deposited in three landfills over 12 years old in Spain. Several physicochemical and geological parameters were measured as a function of depth. Electrical conductivity (EC), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), Cl⁻, NH₄⁺, Na⁺ and exchangeable NH₄⁺ and Na⁺ were used as parameters to measure the penetration of landfill leachate pollution. Mineralogy, specific surface area and cationic-exchange capacities were analyzed to characterize the materials under the landfills. A principal component analysis, combined with a Varimax rotation, was applied to the data to determine patterns of association between samples and variables not evident upon initial inspection. The main factors explaining the variation in the data are related to waste composition and local geology. Although leachates have been in contact with clays for long time periods (13-24 years), WSOC and EC fronts are attenuated at depths of 0.2-1.5 m within the clay layer. Taking into account this depth of the clayey materials, these natural substrata (>45% illite-smectite-type sheet silicates) are suitable for confining leachate pollution and for complying with European legislation. This paper outlines the relevant differences in the clayey materials of the three landfills in which a diffusive flux attenuation capacity (A_c) is defined as a function (1) of the rate of decrease of the parameters per meter of material, (2) of the age and area of the landfill and (3) of the quantity and quality of the wastes.     

常介孔型磁性离子交换树脂的制备及其效能——针对典型藻源含氮有机物

以甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯为单体,利用单体聚合法制备了介孔型磁性离子交换树脂(m-MIER),并在表征其基本性状的基础上,初步分析了其对典型藻源含氮有机物(藻蓝蛋白、氨基酸)的去除效能.为便于比较,研究过程中同步进行了磁性离子交换树脂(MIEX^®)的研究.研究结果表明,m-MIER是以氯为交换基团的介孔型材料,其孔径为2~60nm;与MIEX^®相比,m-MIER具有相似的湿视密度、粒径,更丰富的孔隙结构、更大的交换容量(1.15g/cm³, 150~200 μm, 0.1852cm³/g, 3.16mmol/g Vs 1.20g/cm³, 150~180 μm, 0.0184cm³/g, 2.23mmol/g);XPS图谱分析结果表明其内核成分主要为Fe₃O₄,且为季胺型阴离子交换树脂.针对藻源含氮有机物的去除结果表明,m-MIER对藻蓝蛋白、特定氨基酸的去除效果明显优于MIEX^®,且去除效果与氨基酸的种类显著相关.

宁南山区两种灌木林土壤矿化过程中PLFA指纹季节变化特征

研究土壤矿化过程中土壤微生物群落结构的变化特征,对深入理解土壤中物质转化和养分迁移机理、提高土壤质量具有重要意义.因此,本文以宁南山区典型的两种人工灌木林-柠条和山桃林地土壤为研究对象,采用PVC顶盖埋管法进行1年的原位矿化实验,每隔2个月采样测定土壤基本理化性质和磷脂脂肪酸(Phospholipid fatty acid,PLFA)含量,探讨土壤在矿化过程中微生物群落结构的变化特征.结果显示:土壤矿化过程中,柠条林地土壤有机碳、全氮、硝态氮、铵态氮和土壤含水率显著高于山桃林地(p0.05);两种灌木林地有机碳含量在矿化240 d和360 d时较低,显著小于其他矿化时期(p0.05),硝态氮、铵态氮含量均在矿化240 d时最低,全氮和土壤pH随时间变化不显著.柠条林土壤各菌群PLFA含量高于山桃林土壤;两种土壤各菌群PLFA随矿化时间大体呈现出夏季春、秋季冬季的趋势,且差异显著(p0.05);土壤细菌与真菌、革兰氏阳性(GP)和阴性菌(GN)的PLFA比值差异显著(p0.05),柠条林土壤细菌与真菌PLFA比值随矿化时间呈现出夏、秋季春、冬季的趋势,而山桃林土壤细菌与真菌PLFA比值在冬季最低,两种土壤革兰氏阳性和阴性菌PLFA比值在春季最大.PLFA主成分分析表明,柠条和山桃林土壤微生物群落结构不同,并且土壤微生物群落结构随矿化时间逐步发生变异,微生物结构的变化主要由以16∶0、16∶1ω9c、16∶1ω9t、17∶0、10Me18∶0和cy19∶0所代表的细菌及以18∶2ω9,12c所代表的真菌的变化引起.土壤微生物PLFA与土壤有机碳、硝态氮和土壤含水率显著相关,与土壤pH值不相关,说明土壤微生物PLFA与土壤理化性质联系紧密.     

烷基多苷促进污泥水解产酸的研究

采用向污泥中投加生物表面活性剂烷基多苷(APG)的方法,研究了APG投加量和水解时间对剩余污泥水解产酸过程的影响.结果表明,APG显著降低污泥表面张力,强化污泥水解,在最适投加量(以TSS计,下同)0.2 g·g-1下,SCOD、蛋白质和可溶性糖的浓度均在12h内达到最大,分别由初始的4 280.2、1 122.9和246.5 mg·L-1上升到6 481.1、1 639.3和1 205.8mg·L-1,同时短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)浓度由1 309.9 mg·L-1增加为2 221.6 mg·L-1,且SCFA的组分分布随之改变,APG投加量越大,SCFAs达到最大浓度所需时间也随之延长.随着APG投加量的增大,α-葡萄糖苷酶相对活力由1.5升至2.5,而蛋白酶相对活力在低投加量下由1.4升至1.9,高投加量下降至1.5.不论APG是否存在,α-葡萄糖苷酶和蛋白酶的活力在达最高后都随着水解时间的延长而逐渐降低.整个过程中pH均呈现先减小后增大的趋势.     

畜禽粪便堆腐过程中有机碳组分与腐熟指标的变化

以牛粪、菌糠、鸡粪等为材料按照两种比例调配为混合基质,在添加或不添加发酵启动剂的条件下在发酵罐中进行为期38 d的堆肥发酵试验,研究4种处理方式下畜禽粪便腐解过程中有机碳及其组分的变化,同时通过综合发芽指数(GI)评判腐解物料的腐熟度,确定GI与有机碳组分的关系.结果表明,添加发酵启动剂可以加速有机物质的降解,使水溶性有机碳和有机酸的含量下降(比初始值含量分别下降了41.85%、85.18%),促进类富里酸向胡敏酸转化,使畜禽粪便达到快速腐熟.在两种物料配比下,较高比例的牛粪不利于堆肥物质的分解和腐熟.根据达到腐熟要求的标准(GI0.8),当TOC357.27 g·kg-1,DOC7.00 g·kg-1,FA6.45 g·kg-1,腐解后期物料的红外光谱在1020 cm-1、1427 cm-1出现较为尖锐的峰值,即碳酸盐和硝酸盐含量增加,且草酸大幅度下降时,可以认为有机物料达到完全腐熟.当牛粪、菌糠、鸡粪的混合体积比为1∶1∶1时,在添加发酵启动剂条件下有机物料在腐解29 d时达到以上腐熟指标.     

Determining short chain fatty acids in sewage sludge hydrolysate：A comparison of three analytical methods and investigation of sample storage effects

In anaerobic digestion, the production of short-chain fatty acids （SCFAs） can be beneficial or harmful to the overall process, depending on the concentration of accumulated acids. Therefore, the accurate determination of the SCFA concentration in both fresh and stored sludge hydrolysates is important. To select a suitable method for monitoring SCFAs during the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge, the accuracy of three available analytical methods, including 5 pH point acid titration （TITRA5）, gas chromatography （GC）, and spectrophotometry, were compared in the present study. The results revealed that TITRA5 and GC displayed better agreement in the achieved measurements and higher precision and accuracy than the spectrophotometric assay, as supported by the application of different statistical models. TITRA5 excelled in titrating unfiltered hydrolysate while simultaneously measuring the alkalinity, whereas the GC method provided detailed information on the contribution of different fatty acids to the total acidity. In contrast, the spectrophotometric assay suffered from many forms of interference, depending on the sample＇s matrix. SCFA production followed the pattern of enzymatic reactions and fitted the Michaelis-Menten model. In addition to promoting TITRA5 as an accurate and robust analytical tool for routine SCFA analyses, this comparative study also demonstrated the possibility of storing hydrolysate samples at different temperatures and durations without altering the SCFA measurements.     

A review of environmental characteristics and effects of low-molecular weight organic acids in the surface ecosystem

Low molecular weight organic acids （LMWOAs） are prevalent on the earth＇s surface. They are vital intermediate products during metabolic pathways of organic matter and participate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle during life activities. Photochemical reactions are pivotal for LMWOAs＇ origination and play a large role in determining their diversity and their ultimate fate. Within the long time that organic matter is preserved in sediments, it can be decomposed and converted to release organic and inorganic pollutants as well as C, N, and P nutrients, which are of potential ecological risk in causing secondary pollution to lake water. The sediment pool is a comprehensive and complex compartment closely associated with overlying water by various biochemical processes, during which LMWOAs play critical roles to transport and transform elements. This article elucidates geochemical behaviors of LMWOAs in the surface environment in details, taking natural water, soil, and aerosol as examples, focusing on reviewing research developments on sources and characteristics, migration and mineralization of LMWOAs and relevant environmental effects. Simultaneously, this review article depicts the categories and contents of LMWOAs or their contribution to DOC in environmental media, and evaluates their importance during organic matter early diagenesis. Through concluding and discussing the conversion mechanisms and influencing factors, the next research orientations on LMWOAs in lake ecosystems are determined, mainly concerning relationships with hydrochemical parameters and microorganisms, and interactions with pollutants. This will enrich the knowledge on organic matter degradation and related environmental effects, and help reconstruct a theoretical framework for organic compound succession and influencing factors, providing basic data for lake eutrophication and ecological risk assessment, conducive to better control over water pollution and proper management of water quality.     

胡敏酸衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱研究

胡敏酸是土壤有机质的重要组成部分。胡敏酸的物化结构和特性直接影响其环境地球化学行为,因此,也是胡敏酸地球化学研究的重要内容。傅里叶变换-红外光谱是胡敏酸物化结构和性质研究的强大工具,以往的研究通常采用压片-透射吸收法来研究分析胡敏酸的有机官能团信息。本工作采用透射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱和衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱两种分析方法对比研究了黄壤和石灰土中胡敏酸的有机官能团信息。结果表明,两种分析方法给出完全一致的研究结果,即:黄壤胡敏酸脂肪碳含量较高,芳香结构含量较低;石灰土胡敏酸分子的脂肪碳含量较低,芳香结构和含氧官能团含量较高。比较而言,衰减全反射-傅里叶变换-红外光谱操作简便,无需对待测胡敏酸样品进行预处理,可以广泛地应用于胡敏酸红外光谱的分析。     

紫茉莉对石油污染盐碱土壤微生物群落与石油烃降解的影响
