Insights into the mechanism of the deterioration of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox under low residual ammonium

Residual ammonium is a critical parameter affecting the stability of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, mainstream PN/A was established and operated with progressively decreasing residual ammonium. PN/A deteriorated as the residual ammonium decreased to below 5 mg/L, and this was paralleled by a significant loss in anammox activity in situ and an increasing nitrite oxidation rate. Further analysis revealed that the low-ammonium condition directly decreased anammox activity in situ via two distinct mechanisms. First, anammox bacteria were located in the inner layer of the granular sludge, and thus were disadvantageous when competing for ammonium with ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in the outer layer. Second, the complete ammonia oxidizer (comammox) was enriched at low residual ammonium concentrations because of its high ammonium affinity. Both AOB and comammox presented kinetic advantages over anammox bacteria. At high residual ammonium concentrations, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were effectively suppressed, even when their maximum activity was high due to competition for nitrite with anammox bacteria. At low residual ammonium concentrations, the decrease in anammox activity in situ led to an increase in nitrite availability for nitrite oxidation, facilitating the activation of NOB despite the dissolved oxygen limitation (0.15–0.35 mg/L) for NOB persisting throughout the operation. Therefore, the deterioration of mainstream PN/A at low residual ammonium was primarily triggered by a decline in anammox activity in situ. This study provides novel insights into the optimized design of mainstream PN/As in engineering applications.     

Regression analysis of forest inventory data with time and space dependencies

In this paper the data of a forest health inventory are analyzed. Since 1983 the degree of defoliation, together with various explanatory variables (covariates) concerning stand, site, soil and weather, are recorded by the second of the two authors, in the forest district of Rothenbuch (Spessart, Bavaria). The focus is on the space and time dependencies of the data. The mutual relationship of space-time functions and the set of covariates is evaluated. For this we use generalized linear models (GLMs) for ordinal response variables and semiparametric estimation approaches. By using goodness-of-fit measures it turns out that (i) the contribution of space-time functions is quantitatively comparable with that of the set of covariates, (ii) the contribution of space-time functions is small compared with the contribution of a set of variables describing the last-year and neighboring response values. By applying appropriate residual methods a detailed analysis of the individual sites in the area can be carried out. This analysis reveals where the predictive power of the covariates fail to explain the observed defoliation.

FNA对短程硝化污泥菌群结构的影响

在SBR反应器增加游离亚硝酸（FNA）预处理单元,投加浓度为1.2mgHNO₂-N/L的FNA进行缺氧搅拌4.5h,连续处理3d,考察短程硝化污泥中FNA对氨氧化菌（AOB）,丝状菌和微生物菌群结构的影响.研究表明,FNA对AOB有短时抑制作用,并能够抑制优势丝状菌Candidatus_Microthrix（微丝菌属）和Cytophagaceae（噬纤维菌）的增殖,分别由5.1%和1.1%下降到0.78%和几乎不可见.SVI从281mL/g降低到100mL/g左右.NAR能够维持在90%左右,短程硝化不受到破坏.高通量结果显示,FNA处理后微生物菌群结构多样性与丰度出现下降,但Thauera（陶厄氏菌属）和Ottowia出现了增殖,分别增加到5.58%和7.82%,同步硝化反硝化（SND）作用明显,这使得即便只有短程硝化,总氮去除率依然能达到60%以上.

针对Elman神经网络在预测空气质量指数（AQI）时易受到数据非平稳性的影响导致预测趋势良好但准确度较低的问题,提出以互补集合经验模态分解（Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition,CEEMD）为基础的CEEMD-Elman模型.应用CEEMD对AQI序列分解成不同时间尺度上的本征模态函数分量和剩余分量,进而首次将对非平稳的AQI序列的预测研究转化为对多个平稳的本征模态函数分量的研究.分别与Elman单一模型、EMD-Elman模型、BP单一模型及CEEMD-BP模型进行实验对比.结果表明：应用该方法建立的模型的均方误差、平均绝对误差和平均绝对百分比误差分别为4.80、0.71、1.84%,均小于其他模型结果;对应空气质量等级预报正确天数的频率为94.12%.该模型能有效的降低非平稳性对实验预测结果的影响,实现对空气质量等级的准确预报;该研究为进一步预测AQI的走向提供了有效依据,也为政府决策和管理部门制定空气污染控制提供了更充分的参考.     

一体式厌氧氨氧化反应器常温运行与微生物群落研究

为明确温度对一体式厌氧氨氧化工艺的影响,本研究通过降温实现了一体式厌氧氨氧化工艺22℃下的常温运行,探究了微生物活性和群落结构随温度的变化.反应器采用自配进水、间歇曝气方式运行,进水NH₄⁺-N浓度约254mgN/L,试验过程出水NO₂^--N浓度稳定在在10mg/L以下,但NO₃^--N随着降温有升高的趋势;总氮容积负荷在1.0~1.2g/（L·d）之间,总氮去除负荷在0.7~0.9g/（L·d）;总氮去除率在62%~88%.反应器颗粒污泥中AOB活性始终最高,NOB活性远低于AOB和AnAOB;温度降低NOB活性增加;AnAOB到22℃时活性明显下降,因此需特别关注该温度下反应器的运行工况.Ca.Brocadia是反应器内丰度最高的AnAOB,相对丰度为2.7%~15.1%;Nitrosomonas是反应器内丰度最高的AOB,相对丰度为2.8%~11.5%.研究发现降温使AnAOB的优势属从Ca.Jettenia变为Ca.Brocadia;即后者较前者在低温条件下更具优势.
