城市雾天单个矿物颗粒物理和化学特征

应用场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)和带能谱的扫描电镜(SEM-EDX)对北京冬季雾天和正常天气下收集的4个样品进行研究.雾天中矿物颗粒的数量-粒度分布的峰值出现在0.1～0.3 μm和1～2.5 μm之间,并且发现雾天出现的二次矿物颗粒的数量百分含量(4.67%)高于正常天气条件(0.12%).单个矿物颗粒的EDX能谱显示,雾天和正常天气中单个矿物颗粒的主要化学成分有一定的差别,尤其是S元素.矿物颗粒分为9种不同类型:"富Si"、"富Ca"、"富S"、"富Fe""富Mg"、"富Al"、"富Ti"、"富K"和"富Cl",其中雾天"富Ca"中55%的颗粒含有Ca(50%±1.2%)和S(37%±1.6%),"富S"中72%的颗粒含有S(44%±1.5%)和Ca(33%±2%),说明了雾天中绝大部富集S的颗粒物中同时富集Ca,这在一定程度上说明了北京市大气中这些含Ca的碱性矿物对雾水酸性有一定的缓冲作用.雾天样品中S/Ca的平均比值为6.11,如果以冬季正常天气条件下S/Ca的均值0.73为背景值,雾天中S/Ca的比值是冬季正常天气的8倍,可见雾天中颗粒物表面的硫化现象相当严重,同时也显示出雾天SO2向硫酸盐的转化率比较高.     

Processing of whey from dairy industry waste

An investigation carried out in 11 dairies in Serbia has shows that 78.75 % of whey, a by-product of cheese industry, is emitted into river systems, thus contributing to the organic pollution of the environment. This pollution can be avoided by processing of whey into food and pharmaceuticals. It is shown that low-temperature regime of whey concentration and fractionation, based on vacuum concentration and diafiltration, preserves whey proteins undenaturated, as proved by differential scanning calorimetry method. Functional native whey proteins based food products, with potentially high immunomodulatory activity, are obtained.     

悬浮载体生物膜内硝化菌群空间分布规律

利用16S rRNA寡核苷酸探针荧光原位杂交和共聚焦激光扫描显微镜联用技术,对悬浮载体生物膜内硝化菌群的空间分布规律进行了分析.试验采用3组结构完全相同的悬浮载体生物膜反应器,每个反应器的曝气区为6L,沉淀区为2L,水力停留时间为1.0h,3个反应器的进水COD/NH₄⁺-N分别为15、10和5,从反应器中取出载体颗粒表面的生物膜进行分析,研究各反应器中生物膜的微生物群落结构的变化规律.结果表明,SCBR内载体表面生物膜的总体厚度在80～120μm左右,氨氧化菌和亚硝酸盐氧化菌主要分布在生物膜表面的20～30μm左右范围内.随着进水中COD/NH₄⁺-N的增加,氨氧化菌和亚硝酸盐氧化菌在整个生物膜中所占的比例逐步下降.     

Quantification, morphology and source of humic acid, kerogen and black carbon in offshore marine sediments from Xiamen Gulf, China

Three types of macromolecular organic matters (MOMs), i.e. humic acid (HA), kerogen+black carbon (KB), and black carbon (BC) were extracted from marine sediments of Xiamen Gulf, southeast of China. The chemical composition, morphological property and source of the three extractions were characterized by elemental analyzer/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that KB was the predominant fraction in MOMs, which accounted for 61.79%-89.15% of the total organic content (TOC), while HA consisted less than 5%. The relative high contents of kerogen and BC, and low contents of HA in the samples indicated that anthropogenic input might be the major source of organic matter in marine sediments near the industrial regions. The characterization of SEM, not only revealed morphological properties of the three fractions, but also allowed a better understanding of the source of MOMs. The δ 13 C values of the three fractions suggested that materials from terrestrial C 3 plants were predominant. Furthermore, the anthropogenic activities, such as the discharge of sewage, coal and biomass combustion from industry nearby and agricultural practices within drainage basin of the Jiulong River, were remarkably contributed to the variations in δ 13 C values of MOMs in the offshore marine sediments.     

Characterization of cake layer structure on the microfiltration membrane permeability by iron pre-coagulation

A cake layer is formed by coagulation aggregates under certain transmembrane pressure in the coagulation-microfiltration (MF) process. The characteristics of humic acid aggregates coagulated by different iron-based coagulants, such as charge, size, fractal dimension and compressibility, have an effect on the cake layer structure. At the optimum iron dose of 0.6 to 0.8 mmol/L for ferric chloride (FC) and polymer ferric sulfate (PFS) pre-coagulation, at the point of charge neutralization for near zero zeta potential, the aggregate particles produced possess the greatest size and highest fractal dimension, which contributes to the cake layer being most loose with high porosity and low compressibility. Thus the membrane filterability is better. At a low or high iron dose of FC and PFS, a high negative or positive zeta potential with high charge repulsion results in so many small aggregate particles and low fractal dimension that the cake layer is compact with low porosity and high compressibility. Therefore the membrane fouling is accelerated and MF permeability becomes worse. The variation of cake layer structure as measured by scanning electric microscopy corresponds with the fact that the smaller the coagulation flocs size and fractal dimension are, the lower the porosity and the tighter the cake layer conformation. This also explains the MF membrane flux variation visually and accurately.     

Continuous live cell imaging of cellulose attachment by microbes under anaerobic and thermophilic conditions using confocal microscopy

Live cell imaging methods provide important insights into the dynamics of cellular processes that cannot be derived easily from population-averaged datasets.In the bioenergy field,much research is focused on fermentation of cellulosic biomass by thermophilic microbes to produce biofuels;however,little effort is dedicated to the development of imaging tools to monitor this dynamic biological process.This is,in part,due to the experimental challenges of imaging cells under both anaerobic and thermophilic conditions.Here an imaging system is described that integrates confocal microscopy,a flow cell device,and a lipophilic dye to visualize cells.Solutions to technical obstacles regarding suitable fluorescent markers,photodamage during imaging,and maintenance of environmental conditions during imaging are presented.This system was utilized to observe cellulose colonization by Clostridium thermocellum under anaerobic conditions at 60℃.This method enables live cell imaging of bacterial growth under anaerobic and thermophilic conditions and should be widely applicable to visualizing different cell types or processes in real time.     

厦门市郊区降尘中大分子有机质化学特征浅析

以厦门市的降尘(包括一次沙尘天气)为研究对象,采用综合湿法-化学方法获得腐殖酸(HA)、干酪根+碳黑(KB)和碳黑(BC)3类大分子有机质,分析了两种天气情况下大分子有机质的形貌特征、官能团结构和来源,同时探讨沙尘天气条件下的影响.结果表明,大分子有机质的形貌特征为探讨其来源提供了丰富的信息,如呈大孔网状结构的干酪根样品可能源于植物,而呈球状结构的BC样品则可能源于煤或油的不完全燃烧.傅立叶红外光谱研究表明,降尘中的HA、KB和BC具有相似的结构组成和官能团信息,而受到沙尘天气及季节性的影响,官能团的含量存在差别.碳稳定同位素结合扫描电镜进一步研究大分子有机质来源表明,大分子有机质有明显的陆源C3植物的信息,且有部分化石燃料的信息.沙尘天气降尘中大分子有机质的δ13C值低于正常天气,这与植物的不同地域生长环境、沙尘暴携带的来自蒙古沙漠和中国西北部的沙尘及陆源有机质的δ13C值偏低区域的沙尘影响有关.KB和BC的相关性显著(r=0.964,p ＜0.01),表明干酪根(K)与BC有部分相似的生物质来源.     

亚洲地区OMI和SCIAMACHY臭氧柱总量观测结果比较

利用臭氧观测仪(OMI)和扫描成像大气吸收光谱仪(SCIAMACHY)传感器反演的臭氧总量数据,结合从世界臭氧与紫外线辐射数据中心(WODUC)获取的地面观测臭氧总量数据进行验证,对比2种不同卫星遥感反演的臭氧总量产品优缺点,并分析亚洲地区臭氧总量的时空特征.结果表明,OMI反演的结果比SCIAMACHY的结果更好,而且具有更高的时间和空间分辨率.臭氧总量存在明显的季节变化,在低纬度地区最大值出现在4或5月,最小值在11或12月,而在高纬度地区则分别出现在2月或3月和8月或9月.臭氧总量纬度地带性分布明显,并随着纬度增加而逐渐上升,在10°N~30°N之间,臭氧总量增长平缓,在30°N~50°N之间,臭氧总量快速增大.在青藏高原地区出现臭氧低值区,并在青藏高原东面的横断山脉向低纬度延伸,隔断了臭氧总量的纬度地带性分布.臭氧总量变化在不同纬度呈现不同的模式,距平值随纬度的增大波动随之增大.纬度最低的站点(216)臭氧总量距平值变化最小,最大只有30 DU;而纬度最高的站点(326)臭氧总量距平值变化可达180 DU以上.     

APS-SMPS-WPS对南京夏季气溶胶数浓度的对比观测

为了对比3321型空气动力学粒径谱仪(APS)、3081/3085型气溶胶粒径谱仪(SMPS)和宽范围粒径谱仪(WPS)对气溶胶数浓度的观测性能,于2010年夏季在南京信息工程大学校内使用上述三台仪器进行了同步观测.将得到的数据进行对比,并结合校内自动气象站的气象资料对0.01~10μm气溶胶粒子的数浓度、日变化规律及谱分布特征进行分析.结果表明,3台仪器在总体数浓度变化趋势上表现出较好的一致性,但相同粒径段的粒子浓度NSMPS>NWPS>NAPS.SMPS比WPS尺度分辨率高,粒径范围在0.02~0.2μm时,SMPS与WPS相关性较好;APS测量气溶胶数浓度谱的连续性较WPS好.3种仪器在观测日变化趋势上都表现出双峰型,但SMPS的峰值浓度和出现峰值的粒径范围均高于或大于WPS.各类气象条件及降水对仪器间的测量误差影响不大.
