Sludge concentration dynamic distribution and its impact on the performance of UNITANK

UNITANK is a biological wastewater treatment process that combines the advantages of traditional activated sludge process and sequencing batch reactor, which is divided into Tank A, B and C. In this study, the sludge distribution and its impact on performance of UNITANK were carried out in Liede Wastewater Plant （WWTP） of Guangzhou, China. Results showed that there was a strong affiliation between Tank A and B of the system in sludge concentration distribution. The initial sludge concentration in Tank A could present the sludge distribution of the whole system. The sludge distribution was mainly influenced by hydraulic condition. Unsteady sludge distribution had an impact on variations of substrates in reactors, especially in decisive reactor, and this could lead to failure of system. Settler could partially remove substrates such as COD and NO3-N, but there was adventure of sludge deterioration. The rational initial sludge concentration in Tank A should be 4000-6000 mg/L MLSS.     

甘油基混合培养物合成PHA及其与OUR的关系

聚β羟基烷酸盐(PHA)以其较好的生物相容性、可生物降解性和再生性成为最有前途的生物高分子材料.本文基于甘油作为基质在饱食-饥饿模式下富集合成PHA的混培物,以乙酸、丙酸、丁酸、乳酸和葡萄糖作为基质考察混培物合成PHA的基质广谱性,结果表明乳酸和乙酸作为基质时PHA的产率系数较高;使用不同比例乙酸/丙酸混合基质时,PHA产量随着乙酸含量的增加而增大,乙酸/丙酸为3∶1时PHA产量最高.通过活性污泥同时贮存与生长模型模拟与线性回归两种方法证实,在单一基质或乙酸/丙酸混合基质情况下,PHA合成速率与OUR存在线性关系,因此,基于在线OUR测量数据可以实时估计PHA合成量.     

垂直流人工湿地LDHs覆膜改性沸石基质强化除磷效果及其机制

采用碱性水热-共沉淀法,将6种金属化合物(CaCl2、ZnCl2、MgCl2、FeCl3、AlCl3、CoCl3)两两组合生成9种不同类型的层状双金属氢氧化物并覆膜于常用垂直流人工湿地沸石基质表面;利用分别填充原始沸石及9种LDHs覆膜改性沸石基质的模拟垂直流人工湿地小试系统进行除磷净化实验,并结合10种沸石基质的等温吸附实验结果,对LDHs覆膜改性沸石基质的强化除磷机制进行研究.结果表明,相对于原始沸石基质,9种不同组合方式生成的LDHs覆膜改性沸石基质除磷效果均有不同程度的提高;Zn2+参与合成的改性基质除磷效果优良,其中ZnFe-LDHs改性沸石基质对总磷、溶解性总磷及磷酸盐的平均去除率超过90%,其最大理论吸附量达到了原始沸石基质的3倍;LDHs覆膜改性沸石基质通过增加化学吸附容量、提高物理吸附能力达到强化除磷效果的目的.     

Ce3+与Cu2+协同强化芬顿体系氧化苯酚的效能与机制研究

研究了Ce~(3+)与Cu~(2+)协同强化芬顿体系在不同初始条件下对水中苯酚的氧化效能与机制.结果表明,在p H适用范围的宽度和H_2O_2浓度变化方面,Ce~(3+)/Cu~(2+)/Fe~(2+)/H_2O_2体系比传统的芬顿体系更具有优势,该体系在p H=5.0、H_2O_2浓度为2.0mmol·L-1的条件下,仍可以对苯酚保持相对较高的氧化效能;Cu~(2+)可能会借助反应过程中的中间产物(醌类物质)生成Cu+,Cu+催化H_2O_2分解生成·OH,Ce~(3+)可能促进体系内醌类物质的形成,加快Fe~(3+)与Fe~(2+)的循环效能,在一定程度上提高了芬顿体系中H_2O_2分解生成·OH的速率,说明Cu~(2+)与Ce~(3+)对芬顿体系的强化作用具有协同性;自由基终止剂依然可以抑制Ce~(3+)、Cu~(2+)强化的芬顿体系对苯酚的降解,由此说明体系中起到氧化作用的活性物种仍然是羟基自由基(·OH).     

不同基质在人工湿地脱氮中的应用及其研究进展

在比较了不同基质脱氮效率的基础上,认为基质作为人工湿地的重要组成部分,在为植物和微生物提供生长介质的同时,也能通过沉淀、过滤和吸附等作用直接去除污染物质,其中基质的类型、级配等因素会影响基质作用的发挥;不同基质对脱氮性能存在较大差异,沸石和蛭石是目前研究中脱氮效率较高的两种基质。在归纳了脱氮机制和影响因素的基础上,认为不同基质由于脱氮机制不同,脱氮性能和脱氮效率也存在较大差异;人工湿地基质所有理化性状都可能影响到它对污水的脱氮效率。最后,对今后的相关研究方向进行了展望。     

Adsorption of a dye on clay and sand. Use of cyclodextrins as solubility-enhancement agents

Laboratory-scale studies were aimed at elucidating the physico-chemical aspects on the removal process of crystal violet (CV) from waters and solid substrates. The laponite clay (RD) and sand were chosen for the double aim at investigating them as CV adsorbents for water treatment and as substrates which mime the soil components. Sand is very effective in removing CV from waters. The cyclodextrins (CDs) were exploited as solubility-enhancement agents to remove CV from the solid substrates. They are powerful solvent media because they extract the CV from sand forming water-soluble CV/CD inclusion complexes and do not show affinity for sand. Optimum performance was shown by the modified CDs (i.e. hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and methyl-β-cyclodextrin). A linear correlation between the logarithm of the equilibrium constant for the CV/CD inclusion complexes formation (K_cpx) and the maximum amount of CV extracted from sand in the columns experiments at a flow rate of 1.5 ml min⁻¹ was drawn. This relationship predicts that CDs with K_cpx < 180 M⁻¹ are not suitable for CV removal from sand. CDs failed to displace CV from RD because they generate the formation of RD clusters where CV remains entrapped.

考察了磁性纳米铁(Fe3O4NPs)对厌氧颗粒污泥溶解性微生物产物(SMP)、疏松胞外聚合物(LB-EPS)、紧密胞外聚合物(TB-EPS)的影响,同时利用高通量测序技术对厌氧颗粒污泥内微生物群落结构的变化进行了分析.结果表明,在长期接触实验过程中,投加Fe3O4NPs的反应器对COD去除率为83.6%,与对照组相比降低了5.7%.对照组与实验组中厌氧颗粒污泥TB-EPS含量(以VSS计)分别为178.20 mg·g-1和138.24 mg·g-1,而SMP含量分别为34.88 mg·L-1和27.44 mg·L-1;同时投加Fe3O4NPs后,在LB-EPS三维荧光(EEM)光谱中,紫外光区类腐殖酸荧光峰消失,辅酶F420荧光峰强度有所降低.在长期接触实验后,甲烷杆菌属(Methanobacterium)所占比例从76.15%增至86.76%,而甲烷丝菌属(Methanothrix)所占比例从17.1%降至7.51%,Methanothrix对于Fe3O4NPs更为敏感;总细菌群落变化明显,其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)所占比例从66.44%降至47.16%,放线菌门(Actinobacteria)所占比例从8.97%增至17.33%,拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)所占比例从8.07%增至17.74%,厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门比例的增加对有机物的厌氧水解过程发挥积极的作用.     

A simple approach to modeling microbial biomass in the rhizosphere

Microorganisms make an important contribution to the degradation of contaminants in bioremediation as well as in phytoremediation. An accurate estimation of microbial concentrations in the soil would be valuable in predicting contaminant dissipation during various bioremediation processes. A simple modeling approach to quantify the microbial biomass in the rhizosphere was developed in this study. Experiments were conducted using field column lysimeters planted with Eastern gamagrass. The microbial biomass concentrations from the rhizosphere soil, bulk soil, and unplanted soil were monitored for six months using an incubation–fumigation method. The proposed model was applied to the field microbial biomass data and good correlation between simulated and experimental data was achieved. The results indicate that plants increase microbial concentrations in the soil by providing root exudates as growth substrates for microorganisms. Since plant roots are initially small and do not produce large quantities of exudates when first seeded, the addition of exogenous substrates may be needed to increase initial microbial concentrations at the start of phytoremediation projects.     

3种不同基质潜流湿地对磷的去除效果

基质是潜流式人工湿地污水处理系统的重要组成部分，直接影响到系统的处理效果。本文研究了由沸石、页岩陶粒和碎石3种不同基质构建的潜流式人工湿地对磷的去除效果。结果表明，在设计水力停留时间3d，连续进出水情况下，碎石单元对磷的去除效果最好，页岩陶粒单元次之，沸石单元效果最差，平均去除率分别为95％、60％和35％。在潜流式人工湿地污水处理系统运行初期观察到磷释放现象，沸石单元最为明显。进水磷浓度较低时，磷的去除率随浓度升高而升高，当正磷、总磷浓度分别升高到2．4—2．5和3．1～3．3mg／L时，正磷、总磷的去除率开始迅速下降。
