两段式进水两级矿化垃圾反应器处理中晚期垃圾渗滤液

针对矿化垃圾反应器处理中晚期垃圾渗滤液时由于反硝化区缺少碳源而导致总氮去除率不佳的问题,开展以优先利用原水中的有机物充当碳源为目的的两段式进水两级矿化垃圾反应器处理工艺的研究。通过控制反应器的曝气量、好氧区和反硝化区,研究了两段式进水两级矿化垃圾反应器处理垃圾渗滤液的效果。结果表明,当进水渗滤液水力负荷为46.0 L/(m~3·d)时,在第一级反应器底部曝气量为1.86 m~3/(m~3·d),第二级反应器中上部曝气量为0.37 m~3/(m~3·d)的条件下,COD、NH_4~+-N、TP的平均去除率分别为84.1%、92.6%、85.6%,运行稳定后TN平均去除率达76.0%,处理效果较好。     

回流对陈垃圾生物反应器处理老年渗滤液污染物影响

为了研究回流对陈垃圾反应器处理老年渗滤液污染物的影响,构建了回流的陈垃圾生物反应器,试验了不同温度、负荷和回流比条件下反应器对污染物的去除效果。结果表明,在较低水力负荷12.8~25.5 L/(d.m2)的情况下,陈垃圾反应器对NH3-N、BOD5和COD等污染物的去除率分别达到90%、95%和70%以上。在不同温度下提高水力负荷,回流会抑制氨氮和COD的去除,但可显著提高TN的去除率,表明回流可作为提高老年渗滤液TN去除率的途径之一。利用氮同位素示踪技术发现反应器中有Anammox脱氮途径存在。但是可利用碳源的缺乏仍是提高老年渗滤液脱氮效率的限制因子。     

矿化垃圾处理垃圾渗滤液的试验研究

试验研究了矿化垃圾细料与土壤作为生物反应床填料处理渗滤液效果的差异,以及加管通风条件对矿化垃圾柱和土壤柱处理渗滤液效果的影响. 结果表明:矿化垃圾细料对渗滤液中COD_Cr和NH₄＋-N的去除效果明显好于土壤. 在水力负荷为40 L/(m3·d)和布水时间为2.0 h的条件下,矿化垃圾细料对渗滤液中的COD_Cr和NH₄＋-N有良好的去除效果,去除率分别达73%和66%;而土壤对COD_Cr和NH₄＋-N的去除率分别只有52%和42%;加管通风条件使矿化垃圾对渗滤液的处理效果明显提高,对COD_Cr和NH₄＋-N的去除率分别提高了9%和26%.      

混合填料生物滤池处理渗滤液混合液实验研究

应用沸石和粉煤灰加气砼颗粒分别作为滤池填料联合处理渗滤液和生活污水混合水,前处理池为天然沸石填料滤池,通过吸附去除混合污水中NH4+-N,调节出水中C/N,使其处于15~30范围内,为后处理池(曝气生物滤池)废水处理提供有利条件。得出沸石添加量为80%时,前处理池出水C/N达到15.59,适宜后处理池生物处理工艺条件。在渗滤液与生活污水配比为1/1时,进水COD、NH4+-N浓度分别为6 749.31、1 538.20 mg/L,不同水力负荷对前处理池出水C/N具有一定影响,在水力负荷为36.74 m3/(m3·d)时,C/N最大为19.27,此时后处理池COD、NH4+-N去除率最高,分别为80.63%、68.75%。整个系统COD、NH4+-N去除率在水力负荷为36.74 m3/(m3·d)时达到最大,分别为89.75%和96.50%,其出水中COD、NH4+-N浓度分别为687.67和57.58 mg/L。     

渗滤液的反渗透浓缩液回灌研究

反渗透处理渗滤液会产生一定量浓缩液,浓缩液的污染物浓度远高于渗滤液。对浓缩液回灌于填埋垃圾体进行实验,结果表明:浓缩液回灌对有机污染物有很好的去除效果,厌氧条件下COD去除率为81.56%,BOD5去除率为82.5%,NH3-N去除率为60%～70%;浓缩液回灌的最佳水力负荷为32.38mL/(L·d),此时回灌浓缩液COD浓度<75000mg/L时,COD去除率达85%以上;回灌的浓缩液pH为9时,COD去除率最高;而pH为11时,NH3-N去除率最高。     

进水频次对矿化垃圾反应器处理渗滤液的影响

采用2个微曝气(0.1 L/min)矿化垃圾反应器处理渗滤液,研究进水频次对矿化垃圾处理渗滤液效果的影响。结果表明:在进水频次为1次/d和2次/d的条件下,提高进水频次可促进COD、NH4+-N和总磷的去除,促进NO2--N向NO3--N的转化,但对总氮的去除无促进作用。进水频次2次/d时,COD、NH4+-N和总磷的平均去除率分别达到83%、95.8%和96%,高于进水频次1次/d的68%、88.3%和87%。但两者总氮平均去除率相差不大,进水频次1次/d时总氮平均去除率为48.7%,高于进水频次2次/d的46.4%。     

生物接触氧化—电絮凝工艺处理垃圾渗滤液研究

为了探索高效垃圾渗滤液处理工艺,采用生物接触氧化—电絮凝工艺处理垃圾渗滤液。试验结果表明,生物接触氧化—电絮凝工艺适于处理COD<5000mg/L的垃圾渗滤液,最高容积负荷可达6.56kgCOD/(m3.d),对COD去除率最高可达84.63%,平均BOD去除率可达91.25%,对NH4-N去除率最高可达86.13%,处理后的垃圾渗滤液可达到国家垃圾渗滤液二级排放标准。处理费用估算为10元/m3。     

准好氧矿化垃圾床处理渗滤液的试验研究

在实验室对渗滤液进行一次过流处理,通过比较连续进水与间歇进水条件下准好氧矿化垃圾床处理渗滤液的效果,探讨准好氧矿化垃圾床处理能力提高的可能性。试验结果表明,在水力负荷为5L/d时,连续进水条件下准好氧矿化垃圾反应床对渗滤液COD、NH3-N的去除率分别为85.68%、86.51%,较间歇进水分别高5.92%、5.78%。因而采用连续进水可提高准好氧矿化垃圾床的处理能力。     

微压流化式复合生物反应器处理含酚废水效能的研究

通过连续动态试验,对新型微压流化式复合生物反应器(MP-FHBR)处理模拟苯酚废水的效能进行研究.结果表明,MP-FHBR的COD容积负荷可达4.86kg/(m3·d)、苯酚容积负荷可达1.96kg/(m3·d),出水COD低于200mg/L、出水苯酚浓度低于1mg/L,COD和苯酚去除率分别达到90%和99%以上.当苯酚容积负荷达到2.04kg/(m3·d),苯酚在反应器中逐渐累积,反应器内微生物的TTC-比脱氢酶活性下降.当MP-FHBR进水苯酚浓度为800mg/L时,最佳水力停留时间为9～10h.水力负荷对反应器沉淀池的泥水分离效果影响较大,限制了反应器的进水量,所以MP-FHBR主要适用于处理较高浓度的含酚废水.     

同步硝化反硝化耦合除磷工艺的快速启动及其运行特征

以低COD/N生活污水(C/N为3∶1~4∶1)为进水基质,在序批式活性污泥反应器(SBR)中接种好氧颗粒污泥(AGS),通过逐步降低溶解氧(DO)浓度的方式快速实现同步硝化反硝化耦合除磷.反应器运行20 d后(DO浓度为0.50~1.0mg·L-1),系统出现同步硝化反硝化耦合除磷的现象.在随后运行的40 d里,反应器对废水COD、NH+4-N、TN和TP的平均去除率分别为84.84%、93.51%、77.06%和85.69%;出水NO-3-N和NO-2-N平均浓度分别为4.01 mg·L-1和3.17 mg·L-1.反应器启动运行后期,污泥体积指数(SVI)为55.22 m L·g-1,沉降性能良好,颗粒结构较完整.不同氮源的周期曝气阶段结果表明,对TN的去除率为NH+4-NNO-2-NNO-3-N;对TP的去除率为NO-3-NNO-2-NNH+4-N,反应器主要以同步硝化反硝化脱氮和反硝化方式除磷.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.

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.     

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Alterations of organ histopathology and metallolhionein mRNA expression in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during subchronic cadmium exposure

Common silver barb,Puntius gonionotus,exposed to the nominal concentration of 0.06 mg/L Cd for 60 d,were assessed for histopathological alterations(gills,liver and kidney),metal accumulation,and metallothionein(MT)mRNA expression.Fish exhibited pathological symptoms such as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of primary and secondary gill lamellae,vacuolization in hepatocytes,and prominent tubular and glomerular damage in the kidney.In addition,kidney accumulated the highest content of cadmium,more than gills and liver.Expression of MT mRNA was increased in both liver and kidney of treated fish.Hepatic MT levels remained high after fish were removed to Cd-free water.In contrast,MT expression in kidney was peaked after 28 d of treatment and drastically dropped when fish were removed to Cd-free water.The high concentrations of Cd in hepatic tissues indicated an accumulation site or permanent damage on this tissue.
