不同碳源培养的成熟好氧颗粒污泥的分形表征

为了表征不同碳源培养的好氧颗粒污泥的密实以及规则程度,试验利用不同碳源培养的成熟好氧颗粒污泥SEM照片,采用Photoshop、Fips2对图形进行处理并且对图像进行分形计盒维数的计算.其中,1号(葡萄糖膨胀颗粒)好氧颗粒的计盒维数最低,达到1.794±0.011,3号(蛋白胨颗粒)与5号(生活污水颗粒)的分形维数较高,达到了1.866±0.018和1.880±0.015,较为致密.不同碳源培养的好氧颗粒污泥的边界计盒维数主要分布在1.14左右,其中6号(啤酒颗粒)的形状较为规则,计盒维数达到1.115±0.003,7号(垃圾渗滤液颗粒)污泥的形状最不规则.结果表明,利用二维分形维数能够较好地表征、区分不同好氧颗粒污泥的密实程度、规则程度,并且能够表征好氧颗粒污泥的状态,如膨胀等.分形表征一定程度上弥补其他现有表征好氧颗粒污泥的理化特性方法的缺陷,为研究好氧颗粒污泥的组成、结构及物化特征的关系提供重要依据.

Fractal Characteristics of Mature Aerobic Granular Sludge Cultivated by Different Carbon Sources

In order to characterize the dense and regular level of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) which was cultivated by different carbon sources, the SEM images of mature AGS were used in the study. The calculation process using Photoshop and Fips2 on fractal characteristics of these granules was built. The lowest box-counting dimension was bulking aerobic granular sludge cultivated by glucose (No.1), which was 1.794±0.011; the box-counting dimension of AGS cultivated by peptone (No.3) and domestic sewage (No.5) were reached up to 1.866 ±0.018 and 1.880±0.015.The boundary box-counting dimension of the AGS was also calculated and the average value was 1.14. The AGS cultivated by beer (No.6) was more regular in shape and the boundary box-counting dimension was 1.115±0.003. The AGS cultivated by landfill leachate (No.7) was the most irregular in shape. This study indicates that fractal dimension provides an approach for quantification of dense and regular level of AGS, furthermore, it could be used to characterize the status of AGS, such as bulking.
