潜流人工湿地中基质在污水净化中的作用机制与选择原理

潜流人工湿地依靠基质、微生物以及植物的共同作用实现对污水中各类污染物的去除。其中,基质是潜流人工湿地的重要组成部分,在水质净化中发挥着至关重要的作用。基质可对污染物进行直接吸附去除。不同基质类型对氨氮与总磷具有不同的吸附能力,同时,吸附效率受到水质、水力条件等参数影响。此外,基质为微生物提供附着表面,基质材质、内部孔道结构、比表面积等均影响生物膜的形成与发展,进而间接影响人工湿地的污水净化功能。通过改变基质所处淹没/暴露状态、增加缓释碳源基质、增加铁碳电解对基质等方式来增加补氧、强化反硝化和电化学强化,从而改善人工湿地对NH₃-N、TN与TP类污染物的去除效果。     

垂直潜流人工湿地低温净化效果及其与微生物作用关系

人工湿地净化过程受基质、微生物及植物的多重作用,但有关湿地系统水质净化效果与微生物之间的关联及响应机制的认识较为匮乏.本文针对垂直潜流人工湿地,分析了其低温条件下水质净化效果,通过16S rDNA扩增子测序技术,在OTU水平上利用微生物丰度聚类热图和基于Bray-Curtis距离的NMDS分析,揭示了湿地基质微生物群落结构的时空变化及其与主要水质指标之间的相互作用关系.结果表明,湿地对TN、COD的去除效果较好,但对TP的去除效果不佳.基质微生物群落时空变化显著,与湿地净化效果密切相关,革兰氏阴性菌门类众多和假单胞菌属相对丰度较低,分别是TN去除效果较好和TP去除效果不佳的重要原因.COD、DO是影响微生物群落的主要因子,而氮含量在一定程度上影响脱氮微生物的活跃度.基质微生物在湿地运行2周后,对污染物去除的介导作用稳定,建议设立这一关键时间点,并辅以菌群、碳源投入等措施,提升湿地的净化效果.     

潜流人工湿地演变对废水中有机物、氮及磷去除的影响

众多研究表明,潜流人工湿地对污水的处理效果明显高于自由表面流型湿地,但实验研究表明潜流人工湿地因堵塞而逐渐演变为自由表面流人工湿地后,其对有机物(COD、TOC)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)的去除效果优于具有相同填料及植物的潜流人工湿地.通过实验室培养实验,以考察人工湿地演变对有机物的矿化、硝化/反硝化作用、氮及磷去除的影响.结果表明,与潜流人工湿地相比,演变后的自由表面流人工湿地对有机物的矿化率(以TOC表示)为1.82 mg·h-1,高于潜流湿地的1.49 mg·h-1;对NO3-去除率为96.8%,高于潜流湿地的58.1%;非生物脱硝去除率为40%,高于潜流湿地的28.2%;演变后对磷的吸附量(以P计)为160 mg·kg-1,高于潜流湿地的140 mg·kg-1,对磷的去除主要为填料吸附,有机物的覆盖有利于磷去除;但演变后的自由表面流人工湿地的硝化作用能力低于潜流湿地.因此,人工湿地演变对其效能有重要影响.     

垂直潜流人工湿地中有机物去除动态规律研究

在分析垂直潜流人工湿地不同高度有机物去除率及其形态变化的基础上,推求出各形态有机物在垂向沿程的平均去除速率,建立了进水浓度和进水水力负荷规律曲线.结果表明.在本实验条件下.垂直潜流人工湿地中有机物的去除主要集中在布水管至布水管下10 cm的基质层内,进水水力负荷越小,该基质层内有机物的去除率也越高;在以粗砂作为垂直潜流人工湿地的基质、进水水力负荷≤0.5 m3/(m2·d)的条件下,垂直潜流人工湿地对有机物去除的有效高度为60 cm;布水管下10 cm基质层不同类型有机物的平均降解速率都处于最大,随着垂向沿程深度的增加.各类型有机物的平均降解速率都呈较大幅度递减趋势;以砂子为基质的垂直潜流人工湿地进水浓度和进水水力负荷规律曲线可表示为(Cin-Cou)×q=1107.02-2.96 Cin× q.     

潜流人工湿地处理微污染河道水中有机物和氮的净化效率及沿程变化

摘要：以野外水平潜流芦苇砾石床人工湿地研究了湿地对微污染河道水的长期动态净化特性。2a多的运行结果表明,潜流湿地对污染物的去除性能存在波动、稳定过程。潜流湿地降解有机物和脱氮性能与植物生长和季节变化相关,其中植物生长和季节变化对湿地脱氮效能的影响大于对湿地去除有机物的影响。潜流湿地降解有机物的主要场所随运行时间沿程推移,启动期主要在湿地前部完成,稳定运行期主要在湿地的前、中部完成。湿地对有机物的去除率,在6.10%～37.83%之间变化。湿地运行期间,沿程水样C/N值基本大于5,碳源供应较充足。潜流湿地启动期TN平均去除率为15.51%,稳定运行期TN平均去除率为8.61%,低于启动期,整个运行期间湿地TN去除率不足40%。潜流湿地中硝化与反硝化反应在中部达到动态平衡,TN去除效率最高。稳定运行期间潜流湿地的前、中部耗氧强度最大,后部下层有明显硝化反应发生。潜流湿地对有机物降解、硝化与反硝化反应、TN去除具有沿程同步性。试验还初步发现,在植物生长旺盛的春夏季根系分泌的低分子有机酸对化能自养型硝化细菌可能有较大抑制作用,可能是影响脱氮效率提高的一个因素。     

炉渣填料组合潜流湿地对不同污染程度河水处理效果研究

利用炉渣作填料的水平潜流(HFCW)+垂直潜流(VFCW)组合而成的人工湿地系统处理污染河水,研究了不同进水浓度时湿地系统对河水中有机物和氮磷营养物质的去除效果。结果表明:在满水位运行(水深75 cm),水力负荷为0.4 m3/(m2·d)的条件下,组合潜流人工湿地对河水中有机物有较高的处理效率,进水ρ(COD)为100 mg/L左右,去除率稳定在90%以上;同时具有较强的营养物质去除效果,进水氨氮、硝态氮、总磷质量浓度分别为6~12,8~16,3~9 mg/L,氨氮、硝态氮、总磷去除率分别维持在45%、80%、55%以上;垂直潜流湿地复氧效果优于水平潜流湿地,以水平潜流人工湿地作为一级处理单元的组合方式对硝态氮有较好的去除效果。     

人工湿地基质微生物状况与净化效果相关分析

了解微生物在湿地基质中的状况对理解人工湿地去除污染物机理具有重要意义。利用混菌法和稀释法，测定了不同植物以及无植物的潜流水平湿地基质中微生物的数量，研究了潜流水平湿地不同空间基质微生物的类群数量以及它们与污水净化效果的关系。结果表明，不同植物的湿地基质微生物数量差异不显著，有植物和无植物湿地的差别不明显；湿地基质中不同空间处微生物数量不相同，一般上层多于下层。在湿地运行条件相对稳定的情况下，湿地基质中会逐渐形成数量和活性比较稳定的生物群落。人工湿地基质中微生物数量与BOD5、TN的去除有显著相关性，说明微生物的作用是去除它们的重要途径；基质中微生物数量与TP的去除率相关性不明显，说明磷的去除尚有其他途径。测定了湿地基质硝化速率，硝化能力与亚硝化细菌的数量呈显著相关。     

潜流人工湿地基质结构与微生物群落特征的相关性

为查明造成不同基质结构人工湿地净化性能差异的微生物因素,利用高通量测序技术,研究水平潜流人工湿地基质结构与微生物群落结构的相关性.结果表明,3个对比人工湿地系统中,从床体表层到底层渗透系数逐渐升高的六层结构人工湿地(CW6)净化性能最高,其出水中COD、TN、NO-3-N及NH_4~+-N平均浓度分别为39、11、0.35及4 mg·L~(-1),其后为三层结构人工湿地(CW3),而单层结构人工湿地(CW1)的净化效果最差,平均出水浓度分别为95、21、0.60及12 mg·L~(-1).高通量测序结果显示,多层结构人工湿地中微生物OTUs略低于单层结构湿地,但其优势菌门变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和其属水平上的硝化与反硝化细菌的相对丰度却显著高于单层湿地.PCA和丰度热图分析结果显示,CW3和CW6床体中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)属水平上的微生物存在显著的空间分布差异,从而有利于污染物的分区降解,而CW1各样点间的微生物群落结构无显著性差异.     

水力停留时间对潜流湿地净化效果影响及脱氮途径解析

利用连续进水的垂直潜流人工湿地和水平潜流人工湿地,比较分析了4种水力停留时间对常规污染物去除效果的影响,在最佳水力停留时间下探究了两种湿地内部各基质层硝化、反硝化和氨氧化功能基因丰度以及硝化与反硝化作用强度;通过对两种湿地脱氮影响因素的冗余分析和方差分解分析,得出影响湿地氮去除的主要因素.结果表明,当水力停留时间为24 h时,两种湿地系统对常规污染物（COD、TP、TN和NH₄⁺-N）去除效果最佳,去除率均大于70%,此时湿地内部对NH₄⁺-N和TN的去除率以及硝化和反硝化强度皆表现出沿水流方向逐级递减的趋势;3种功能基因中,反硝化功能基因（nirS）丰度远高于硝化功能基因（nxrA）和氨氧化功能基因（AOB-amoA）.在本研究中,两种潜流人工湿地氮去除能力均受环境因素和微生物因素共同影响,其中,微生物因素对脱氮贡献率最高（55%和48%）.除此之外,TN和NH₄⁺-N的去除率均与DO、基质比表面积、COD浓度和硝化功能基因及反硝化功能基因丰度呈正比,与pH值成反比.因此,为提高两种系统氮去除效果,均可通过提高基质层溶解氧和碳源含量以及适当地降低pH值来实现,水平潜流人工湿地还可通过更换比表面积较大的基质层来显著提高系统脱氮效果.本研究为人工湿地的设计以及最佳水力停留时间的选择提供了理论基础,脱氮途径的定量化解析对深入理解人工湿地氮去除机制以及提高氮素去除率具有重要的指导意义.     

人工湿地基质微生物状况与净化效果相关分析

利用混菌法和稀释法,测定了不同植物以及无植物潜流水平湿地基质中微生物的数量.结果表明:不同植物湿地基质中微生物的数量差异不显著,有植物和无植物湿地的差别不明显;湿地基质中不同空间位置的微生物数量各不相同,一般上层多于下层;在湿地运行条件相对稳定的情况下,湿地基质中会逐渐形成数量和活性比较稳定的生物群落.分析了人工湿地基质中微生物数量与污水净化效果的关系.结果表明:微生物数量与BOD₅及TN的去除有显著的相关性,说明微生物的作用是去除它们的重要途径;基质微生物数量与TP的去除率相关性不明显.测定了湿地基质硝化速率,其硝化能力与亚硝化细菌的数量呈显著相关.      

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
