超声处理对活性污泥系统污泥减量效果的研究

在活性污泥系统采用超声波处理剩余污泥以考察污泥减量效果及其对系统处理效果的影响.结果表明:在声能密度0.25～0.50 W/mL范围内,经过1～30 min的超声波处理,系统表观产率显著下降,剩余污泥的产量可以减少20%～50%左右.同时发现,污泥的沉降性能指标SVI有所下降,而污泥的稳定性有所提高,活性污泥系统的出水水质略有不同程度的下降.     

超声波处理回流剩余污泥对SBR工艺的污泥减量效能

在SBR中试系统中,采用较高声能密度较短时间的超声波处理剩余污泥后回流至系统连续运行20 d的方式进行污泥减量,通过分析测定系统MLSS、累计排泥量以及系统出水水质指标,考察了系统污泥减量效果及污泥回流对系统污水处理效果的影响。结果表明,对SBR系统2/3的剩余污泥用声能密度为1 W/mL的超声波预处理6 min后回流至SBR系统。SBR系统最终需处置的污泥量减少了45.64%,获得了理想的污泥减量效果。污泥回流后SBR系统对SS、COD、TN以及NH4+-N的去除效果均无明显变化,仅出水TP含量略高于对照的SBR,出水水质仍能达到《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准》(GB18918-2002)一级B标准。

微波诱导活性炭纤维催化氧化实现污泥减量的研究

采用SBR装置,对应用微波诱导活性炭纤维催化氧化实现污泥减量进行了研究。结果表明,在微波功率为800W,微波辐照时间为50s,每克SS加入0.19g活性炭纤维条件下,微波诱导活性炭纤维催化氧化污泥的分解率明显高于单独微波消解处理。将微波诱导处理后的污泥返回到处理系统中,随着被微波诱导处理的污泥占反应器内污泥的比例(污泥处理比例)的增大,污泥表观产率系数随之减小,污泥减量也越明显;污泥处理比例为5%(体积分数,下同)、10%、15%时,与对照系统相比,处理系统污泥减量分别为24.3%、43.6%、62.2%;随着污泥处理比例的增大,处理系统出水溶解性COD(SCOD)呈升高趋势,但系统仍能保持其生物处理能力,SCOD去除率在85%以上。处理系统和对照系统的氨氮降解速率常数及污泥耗氧速率相差不大,处理系统的硝化能力及污泥活性基本没有受到微波诱导催化氧化作用的影响。     

直接投加ClO_2对SBR污泥减量及污染物去除的影响

直接向采用交替停曝气模式运行的序批式反应器(SBR)中投加ClO_2,考察了在处理模拟生活污水时不同ClO_2投加剂量对SBR污泥减量及污染物去除的影响。结果表明,ClO_2最佳投加剂量为2.0 mg ClO_2/g干污泥,此时,与对照反应器(未投加ClO_2)相比,SBR污泥减量效率为28.0%,系统污泥产率系数为0.08 g MLVSS/g COD。溶胞-隐性生长、解偶联代谢和内源代谢对污泥减量均有贡献。在ClO_2最佳投加剂量下,SBR出水COD、NH3-N、TN和TP浓度分别增加了(28.80±1.53)、(3.49±1.79)、(2.30±0.02)、(0.21±0.05)mg/L,但出水水质仍满足《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准》(GB18918-2002)一级B标准。     

解偶联剂与电气石协同作用对污泥性能的影响研究

为提升解偶联剂的污泥减量效果并缓解其对微生物的影响,在序批式活性污泥反应器(SBR)中添加不同浓度的解偶联剂(双香豆素)和电气石,分析两者协同作用对SBR系统中活性污泥产量及性能的影响。研究结果表明,当双香豆素投加量由10mg/L增加到40mg/L,污泥的表观产率由0.19降至0.15,下降约20%,污泥减量作用明显增强,但COD去除率由76.7%下降至76.3%,SBR内的亚硝酸盐氮积累量增加,TN去除率由87.5%降至80.3%,污泥沉降性能有所降低,污泥活性有所提高。40mg/L双香豆素与100g电气石协同作用下,SBR内污泥的表观产率降至0.13,COD去除率提高至82.6%,SBR内亚硝酸盐氮积累量显著降低,TN去除率可达88.9%,污泥沉降性能及污泥活性均有所提高。电气石可以改善高浓度双香豆素所导致的负面影响,不会提高系统污泥产率。     

铬离子对SBR工艺活性污泥毒性作用研究

针对重金属铬离子对SBR工艺系统中活性污泥的毒性作用,通过检测不同初始污泥容积指数(SVI)下SBR工艺活性污泥在不同铬负荷下的COD值、挥发性污泥浓度以及受铬离子影响的污泥容积指数(SVI),研究重金属铬离子对活性污泥的毒性作用以及对SBR工艺系统处理污水的影响。研究表明,重金属铬离子会导致SBR工艺系统出水COD升高;将铬离子对活性污泥的毒性作用按照挥发性污泥(MLVSS)铬负荷可划分为耐受范围、非耐受范围、细胞失活范围以及细胞分解范围。耐受范围铬负荷低于约30 mg Cr3+/gMLVSS,此范围内铬离子对于活性污泥的毒性作用不大,不致于导致系统出水水质变差;非耐受范围铬负荷在约30~65 mg Cr3+/g MLVSS,在铬离子作用下系统出水COD值明显高于对照系统;细胞失活范围铬负荷在约70~100 mg Cr3+/gMLVSS范围内,SVI大幅下降,微生物部份死亡和失活,出水COD尽管有一些下降,但与进水COD相比差不了多少;细胞分解范围铬负荷在约100 mg Cr3+/gMLVSS以上,微生物大量死亡,部分死亡细胞分解,系统出水COD值因微生物的死亡分解而超出进水COD值,受铬离子影响的系统SVI值大幅度降低。     

代谢解偶联剂四氯水杨酰苯胺的污泥减量性能和机理研究

为解析代谢解偶联剂的污泥减量性能及机理,选用毒副作用较低的代谢解偶联剂四氯水杨酰苯胺(TCS),考察其对序批式活性污泥反应器(SBR)长期运行过程中污泥产量及运行参数的影响。结果表明,投加一定量的TCS具有较好的污泥减量化作用,添加TCS前和停用后,SBR内各指标变化均不明显,说明TCS对SBR运行没有明显影响。当SBR中污泥混合液悬浮固体(MLSS)为2 200mg/L,TCS添加量为1.6mg/L时,平均污泥产率系数由0.521mg/mg降至0.314mg/mg,污泥产量减少39.73%。TCS对有机物的去除基本没有影响,COD去除率仅下降3.03百分点,但比耗氧速率(SOUR)增加73.73%,比三磷酸腺苷(SATP)合成量减少23.90%,胞内贮存物(PHAs)含量平均增加42.28%,脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)含量无明显变化。因此,适量添加TCS不会造成细胞溶胞,但能使胞内代谢增加,使氧化磷酸化解偶联,使生物合成量减少,从而实现污泥减量化。     

高效代谢解偶联剂的筛选及对SBR系统综合运行效能的影响

活性污泥法是最常用的污水处理技术,但它同时会产生大量的剩余污泥,需要进行额外的处理和处置.活性污泥的解偶联代谢能有效地减少剩余污泥的产量.比较了5种代谢解偶联剂,即2,4-二硝基苯酚(DNP)、邻氨基苯酚(AP)、2,4,6-三氯苯酚(TCP)、3,3',4,5-四氯水杨酰苯胺(TCS)、丙二酸的污泥减量效果和对COD去除能力的影响.结果表明,当它们在各自的最佳质量浓度20、1 5、4、1.2、15 mg/L时,污泥的表观增长系数分别降低了62.39%、63.75%、59.40%、34.58%和53.75%,而COD去除率仅有轻微下降.重点研究了15 mg/L的丙二酸和4 mg/L的TCP对SBR系统运行效能和污泥沉降性能的影响.发现在长期运行过程中,两者都能有效降低系统的污泥产量,而对COD去除率的影响较低,但使用丙二酸6 d后极大地影响了污泥的沉降性能,而TCP对污泥的沉降性能影响很小.     

臭氧耦合ASBR/SBR控氮磷污泥减量化水处理工艺

针对传统污泥减量化工艺中氮磷难以达标的问题,以ASBR/SBR组合工艺为基础辅助臭氧氧化预处理,提出了臭氧耦合ASBR(anaerobic sequencing batch reactor)/SBR(sequencing batch reactor)工艺实现污泥减量与氮磷协同控制,系统评价了该工艺对污泥减量和脱氮除磷效果。结果表明,未投加臭氧时,SBR的污泥表观产率系数Yobs(即降解每克COD产生的悬浮固体的量)均值为0.228 g·g~(-1),投加臭氧(投量为0.074 g·g~(-1))后Yobs均值降低至0.132 g·g~(-1),降低了42%;臭氧投加前后出水COD、NH+4-N、TN和PO3-4-P去除率变化不大,分别在91%、95.2%、74.7%和49.4%左右;投加臭氧使得SOUR(specific oxygen uptake rate)(即每小时每克污泥所需氧气量)由2.8 mg·(g·h)~(-1)降低至2.4 mg·(g·h)~(-1),表明臭氧氧化并未明显抑制生物活性;此外,投加臭氧使得MLVSS/MLSS由0.85降低至0.83,表明实验过程中未发现惰性物质的累积。实验结果表明,臭氧耦合ASBR/SBR工艺在实现污泥减量和控制氮磷方面具有一定的工程应用价值。     

Chloroaromatic pollutants in mussels incubated in two finnish watercourses polluted by industry

Concentrations of different chlorinated compounds were measured in mussels incubated in two polluted watercourses, a river (the River Kymijoki) and a lake (Lake Vanaja) for four weeks in summer 1995. The sum concentrations of polychlorinated phenols (PCP) and biphenyls (PCB) were both about 1 μg/g lipid weight (lw) in Lake Vanaja mussels, while in the River Kymijoki mussels PCPs were non-detectable and PCBs were measured 120 ng/g lIw. The concentrations of toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners ranged between <17 and 370 pg/g Iw in Lake Vanaja mussels and between <38 and 11,000 pg/g lw in the River Kymijoki mussels. Polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDE) were detected in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki (0.4–1.1 ng/g Iw), but not in those incubated in Lake Vanaja. Polychlorinated phenoxyanisoles (PCPA) were measured 33 ng/g lw and polychlorinated phenoxyphenols (PCPP) 300 ng/g lw in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki. PCPAs were also detected in reference samples, which were sediment and pike from the River Kymijoki and Baltic salmon, seal and white-tailed sea eagle.

Organochlorine compounds in a three-step terrestrial food chain

The concentrations of 15 organochlorine chemicals (PCBs and pesticides) were studied in a Central European oak wood food chain system: Great tit (Parus major), caterpillars (Tortrix viridana, Operophtera brumata, Erannis defoliaria), and oak-leaves (Quercus robur). Juvenile tits receive organochlorines from the mother via egg transfer and, eventually to a greater extent, from the caterpillar food source during nestling period. The concentrations of PCB 153 (2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl, the most abundant in this study) was found in leaf material at ca. 1 ng/g, in caterpillars 10 ng/g, and in bird eggs 170 ng/g on an average and on a dry mass basis.     

The chemical stability of formulations of some hydrolyzable insecticides in aqueous mixtures with hydrolysis catalysts

Abstract

The active ingredients in commercial formulations of malathion, oxamyl, carbaryl, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos diluted to “spray tank”; concentrations with buffered distilled or natural water of pH 4–9 were stable for at least 24 hr. Formulations of trichlorfon were not stable at pH 7 or above but disappearance rates were slower than for the pure chemical in homogeneous solution. Cupric ion was observed to be an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of a variety of pure organophosphorus insecticides but did not catalyze hydrolysis of the active ingredients of the formulations examined. Increasing the dilution of the formulation increased the susceptibility of malathion, oxamyl, and carbaryl to hydrolysis.     

Radionuclides in pinon pine (Pinus edulis) nuts from los alamos national laboratory lands and the dose from consumption

Abstract

One of the dominant tree species growing within and around the eastern portion of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM, lands is the pinon pine (Pinus edulis). Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials and is a source of nuts for food—the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of ³H, ¹³⁷Cs, ⁹⁰Sr, ^totU, ²³⁸Pu, ^{239, 240}Pu, and²⁴¹ Am in soils (0‐ to 12‐in. [31 cm] depth underneath the tree), pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN) collected from LANL lands and regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of ³H in soils, were not significantly higher (p < 0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL as compared to BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb [4.5 kg]) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 μSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 μSv). Soil‐to‐nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.     

Degradation and sorption of imidacloprid in dissimilar surface and subsurface soils

Degradation and sorption/desorption are important processes affecting the leaching of pesticides through soil. This research characterized the degradation and sorption of imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine) in Drummer (silty clay loam) and Exeter (sandy loam) surface soils and their corresponding subsurface soils using sequential extraction methods over 400 days. By the end of the incubation, approximately 55% of imidacloprid applied at a rate of 1.0 mg kg^?1 degraded in the Exeter sandy loam surface and subsurface soils, compared to 40% of applied imidacloprid within 300 days in Drummer surface and subsurface soils. At the 0.1 mg kg^?1 application rate, dissipation was slower for all four soils. Water-extractable imidacloprid in Exeter surface soil decreased from 98% of applied at day 1 to > 70% of the imidacloprid remaining after 400 d, as compared to 55% in the Drummer surface soil at day 1 and 12% at day 400. These data suggest that imidacloprid was bioavailable to degrading soil microorganisms and sorption/desorption was not the limiting factor for biodegradation. In subsurface soils > 40% of ¹⁴C-benzoic acid was mineralized over 21 days, demonstrating an active microbial community. In contrast, cumulative ¹⁴CO₂ was less than 1.5% of applied ¹⁴C-imidacloprid in all soils over 400 d. Qualitative differences in the microbial communities appear to limit the degradation of imidacloprid in the subsurface soils.     

Biochemical interaction of six op delayed neurotoxicants with several neurotargets

Abstract

Five organophosphorous insecticides: Leptophos, EPN, Cyano‐fenphos, trichloronate and salithion proved to cause irreversible ataxia not only to chicken but also to mice and sheep. TOCP was included as a reference. Cyanofenphos blocked the catecholamine B‐receptor binding activity with ³H‐norepinephrine at a level similar to that of the specific inhibitor propranolol in the mouse heart preparation. In the lamb heart preparation, the B‐receptor was more sensitive to Leptophos, salithion and TOCP than to propranolol. The six compounds and their oxons were screened for their in‐vitro inhibition to monamine oxidase (MAO), acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and neurotoxic esterase (NTE) in the brain of either mouse, lamb or chicken. It is believed that their AChE inhibition stands for their acute toxicity, while NTE inhibition is responsible for their paralytic ataxia.

Elemental uptake by edible herbs and lettuce (Latuca sativa)

The total concentration of toxic elements (aluminum, cadmium, chromium and lead) and selected macro and micro elements (iron, manganese, copper and zinc) are reported in six leafy edible vegetation species, namely lettuce, spinach, cabbage, chards and green and red types of Amaranth herbs. Although spinach and chards had greater than 125 mv of iron, both the amaranthus herbs recorded > than 320 μ g g^{? 1} dry weight. In both the spinach and chard species, the Mn and Zn levels were appreciable recording > 225 μ g g^{? 1} and 150 μ g g^{? 1} dry weight, respectively. Aluminum concentrations were (in μ g g^{? 1} dry weight) lettuce (10), cabbage (11), spinach (167), chards (65), amaranthus green (293) and amaranthus red (233). All the micro and macro elements and the toxic elements (Ni, Cr, Cd and Pb) elements analyzed, were below the recommended maximum permitted levels (RMI) in vegetables. Further the elemental uptake and distribution of the nine elements, at three growth stages of the lettuce plant grown on soil bed under controlled conditions are detailed. In the soil, except for iron (16%), greater than 33% of the other cations were in exchangeable form. Generally in the lettuce plant, roots retained much of the iron (> 224 μ g g^{? 1}) and aluminum (> 360 μ g g^{? 1}), while leaves had less than 200 μ g g^{? 1} of iron and 165 μ g g^{? 1} of Al. Although the concentrations of elements marginally decreased with growth, the lettuce leaves had significant amounts of Mn (30 μ g g^{? 1}), Zn (50 μ g g^{? 1}) and Cu (3.6 μ g g^{? 1}). Some presence of lead in leaves (2.0 μ g g^{? 1}) was noticed, but all the toxic and other elements analyzed were well below the RMI values for the vegetables.     

The dissipation of nonlyphenol in stream and pond water under simulated field conditions

Abstract

The dissipation of 1.0 ppm nonylphenol in stream and pond water, incubated in flasks at 16°C under simulated field conditions up to 44 days indicated that the half‐life was 2.5 days if the flasks were open, and 16 days if they were closed. A transformed product was detected in the closed flasks.

Translocation of nonylphenol in water occurred when treated water samples were incubated in the presence of sediment. After 10 days, nonylphenol was detected only in the sediment, but not in water (detection limit = 10 ppb). About 80% of the nonylphenol was degraded in 71 days, but no degradation occurred if the water and the sediment were autoclaved prior to incubation.
