Biological sulfate removal from acrylic fiber manufacturing wastewater using a two-stage UASB reactor

A two-stage UASB reactor was employed to remove sulfate from acrylic fiber manufacturing wastewater. Mesophilic operation (35±0.5℃) was performed with hydraulic retention time (HRT) varied between 28 and 40 hr. Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in the reactor was maintained about 8000 mg/L. The results indicated that sulfate removal was enhanced with increasing the ratio of COD/SO₄^2-. At low COD/SO₄^2-, the growth of the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was carbon-limited. The optimal sulfate removal efficiencies were 75% when the HRT was no less than 38 hr. Sulfidogenesis mainly happened in the sulfate-reducing stage, while methanogenesis in the methane-producing stage. Microbes in sulfate-reducing stage performed granulation better than that in methane-producing stage. Higher extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) content in sulfate-reducing stage helped to adhere and connect the flocculent sludge particles together. SRB accounted for about 31% both in sulfate-reducing stage and methane-producing stage at COD/SO₄^2- ratio of 0.5, while it dropped dramatically from 34% in sulfate-reducing stage to 10% in methane-producing stage corresponding to the COD/SO₄^2- ratio of 4.7. SRB and MPA were predominant in sulfate-reducing stage and methane-producing stage respectively.     

Risk assessment of Giardia in rivers of southern China based on continuous monitoring

The occurrence and risks of Giardia in China have been unclear to date, which has made it difficult to properly manage source water as well as to create reasonable drinking water standards. The levels of Giardia in river networks of several cities in Zhejiang Province, China were found to be in the range of 0-5 oocysts/10 L in the rainy season in 2008. The mortality due to Giardia infection for people in this region was calculated to be from 0 to 1.95 × 10^-8 persons using a conditional probability equation. Based on multiple unboiled water intake routes, the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to Giardia infection for people who consumed conventionally treated water was 0.625 (95% CI: 0.137-2.05) per 10⁵ persons, with the symptom of hospitalization making the highest contribution to total DALYs (0.56 per 10⁵ persons; 95% CI: 0.122-1.84). The DALYs decreased to 0.425 (95% CI: 0.137-2.05) per 10⁵ persons per year for those consuming water treated with advanced technology. These values were lower than the acceptable risk (1.97 × 10^-5 DALYs per year). This study revealed the risk of Giardia infection to the people in river networks of Zhejiang Province for the first time, and provides a method to evaluate the risk of Giardia infection. The results are useful for the modification of drinking water quality standards based on cost-benefit analysis.

水环境容量安全边际是污染物总量控制的关键。运用河流二维稳态水质模型,计算大宁河回水区内COD环境容量,并采用一阶误差分析法分析模型关键参数对大宁河COD环境容量影响程度,科学计算大宁河水环境容量安全边际值。结果表明,三峡库区坝前水位175 m时,大宁河回水区内COD环境容量为729.06 t/a;模型参数对环境容量影响顺序为:背景浓度(C0)>混合区长度(x)=水深(h)>流速(u)=扩散系数(E)y>降解系数(K);大宁河回水区内安全边际值为84.06 t/a,占环境容量的11.53%。文章科学地计算大宁河回水区内COD环境容量安全边际,而非人为定性提出,为三峡库区河流水环境容量安全边际确定提供理论依据。     

铁氮掺杂碳纳米管/纤维复合物制备及其催化氧还原的效果

阴极催化剂是影响微生物燃料电池(microbial fuel cell,MFC)性能的关键因素.通过研究制备成本低廉、氧还原反应(ORR)催化活性高的阴极催化剂来替代Pt/C对于实现MFC规模化应用具有重大意义.研究采用化学气相沉淀法,以三聚氰胺作为碳氮前驱物、以黑珍珠2000或乙炔炭黑作为碳源,外加醋酸亚铁作为铁前驱物,合成了两种铁氮掺杂碳纳米管/纤维复合物(FeNCB和FeNCC),作为MFC的阴极催化剂.通过循环伏安法和旋转圆盘-环电极分析FeNCB、FeNCC和Pt/C的ORR催化活性的差异,并用MFC验证其差异.结果表明,FeNCB性能与Pt/C相当,优于FeNCC,其催化路径是通过4电子途径催化氧还原反应;MFC-FeNCB性能略优于MFC-Pt/C,显著优于MFC-FeNCB有助于MFC的扩大化,其最大功率密度为1 212.8mW·m~(-2),开路电压为0.875 V,电池稳定电压为(0.500±0.025)V.用X射线衍射、X射线光电子光谱、拉曼光谱等进一步分析显示,复合物中碳纳米管管径的大小、铁氮掺杂的类型和含量以及氧含量是引起制备的复合物催化氧还原性能差异的原因所在.     

污染场地修复技术筛选方法及应用

污染场地修复技术的筛选是场地监管中的重要环节,修复技术的适用性直接影响场地修复效果及费用.确定最适修复技术时需综合考虑污染物特征、场地条件、修复费用及时间等多种因素,目前我国在污染场地修复技术筛选时多依赖专家赋值评分,在决策方法的推广上受到限制.本文在国内外相关研究基础上,考虑我国污染场地监管需求,提出土壤修复技术初筛及详细评价方法,并建立了修复技术筛选指标体系.为解决在各指标赋值及评价过程中存在的模糊性问题,利用可拓理论进行修复技术等级划分.以我国某铬渣污染场地为例,开展了土壤修复技术筛选研究,提出了最适的修复技术,研究成果可为我国污染场地监管工作提供科技支撑.     

钯掺TiO2光催化降解全氟辛酸

全氟辛酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)以其分布广泛性、生物蓄积性、生物毒性强而成为全球关注的一种新型持久性有机污染物.采用化学还原法制备钯掺二氧化钛(Pd-Ti O2)催化剂,利用XRD、FESEM、UV-vis DRS对催化剂进行表征,并考察其在365 nm紫外光照射下对PFOA的光催化降解效果.结果表明,化学还原的制备方法使Ti O2粒径减小、比表面积增大且对紫外光的吸收性能增大,但并不引起PFOA光催化效果的改变.而Pd掺杂后大大增强了PFOA的降解效果,反应7 h后溶液中氟离子浓度为6.62 mg·L-1,是Ti O2(P25)的7.3倍.投加俘获剂与通入氮气的实验证明,在PFOA的降解过程中·OH起重要作用,氧气的存在可促进PFOA的降解.采用UPLC-QTOF-MS对产物进行鉴定分析,PFOA的可能降解过程是经h+氧化后发生脱羧基反应,产生的全氟烷烃自由基(·CnF2n+1)被·OH氧化,脱氟生成短链全氟羧酸.Pd能作为电子(e-)捕获剂、加速e-向O2等电子受体的转移,从而缓解e-累积,提高对PFOA的降解效果.     

开封城市土壤磷素组成特征及流失风险

为深入了解城市土壤磷素组成特征及其对受纳水体的影响,以开封城市表层土壤为研究对象,分析开封城市不同功能区土壤磷素的组成特征,并采用"突变点"法计算土壤磷素流失临界值,探讨开封城市不同功能区表层土壤磷素流失风险.结果表明,开封城市土壤总磷为400~1 427 mg·kg~(-1),其中无机磷占65%~99%;速效磷(Olsen-P)和易解吸磷分别为3.41~115.03 mg·kg~(-1)和0.01~9.40 mg·kg~(-1),与土壤磷素背景值相比,城市土壤磷素呈现明显集聚.开封城市土壤总磷和速效磷均呈现出东高西低,中心老城区高于新城区的空间分布格局;在不同功能区分布上,居民区土壤各形态磷素含量均最高.开封城市土壤磷素流失临界值对应的Olsen-P为22.18 mg·kg~(-1),超过临界值的土样占总土样数的33.64%,磷素流失风险最高的区域亦分布在中心老城区.     

水体中磺胺甲唑间接光降解作用

间接光降解是水体药物类污染物的主要去除途径之一,而有色溶解有机物(CDOM)是间接光降解的主要参与者.CDOM经过光照作用后产生大量活性中间体,与药物类污染物进行反应,完成间接光降解.本文着重研究了4种来源不同的CDOM对磺胺甲噁唑(SMZ)的间接光解作用和影响因素.结果表明,CDOM对于SMZ具有显著间接光降解作用,这种间接光降解具有双重性,既可以通过生成各种活性中间体来促进SMZ的间接光降解,又可以通过光屏蔽作用以及活性中间体掩蔽作用抑制SMZ的光降解.SMZ的间接光降解主要由CDOM产生的3CDOM*、HO·、1O2等活性中间体控制,其中3CDOM*为SMZ间接光降解的主要参与者.另外,pH、盐度和硝酸根离子对SMZ的间接光降解均具有显著影响作用,而碳酸氢根离子对于SMZ间接光降解的影响作用不明显.
