城市污泥与水葫芦堆肥性质变化规律

采用仓式好氧堆肥方法,研究了不同比例的城市污泥和水葫芦混合物料堆肥过程中各项评价参数(温度、含水率、pH、有机质和总氮)的变化规律。结果表明:堆肥过程中,堆体温度、含水率变化过程为先上升,再下降;堆体的pH和总氮变化过程为先降低再升高,最后趋于稳定。有机质含量在堆肥48 h内迅速下降,之后缓慢下降。对小堆体,大风量更有利于有机质的降解,但不利于氮素的保存。当m(污泥)∶m(水葫芦)为4∶1时的堆肥效果要优于m(污泥)∶m(水葫芦)为2∶1时的堆肥效果。     

调理剂对堆肥产品重金属生物有效性的影响

城市污泥中重金属含量及其生物有效性是限制污泥农用的主要因素,因此,研究污泥堆肥化处理过程中重金属生物有效性,对污泥的农用具有重要意义。实验以城市污泥为原料,以菌菇渣和秸秆为调理剂,设置4个处理:A(污泥∶菌菇渣∶秸秆=1∶0.4∶0.025)、B(污泥∶菌菇渣∶秸秆=1∶0.3∶0.025)、C(污泥∶秸秆=1∶0.12)和D(污泥∶秸秆=1∶0.09),进行好氧堆肥实验,采用BCR顺序提取法测定各种形态的重金属,研究堆肥前后重金属形态的变化规律。结果表明,城市污泥中Cu、Ni、Pb和Cr主要以可氧化态及残渣态存在,生物有效性较低,而Zn和Cd主要以酸溶态和可还原态存在,生物有效性较高;堆肥过程显著降低了Cu、Zn、Ni和Pb的生物有效性,并改变了Cu、Zn、Ni、Pb、Cr和Cd的形态分布,使污泥中的Cu、Zn、Ni、Pb和Cd向着更稳定的可氧化态或残渣态转变;污泥经过堆肥处理后,Cu、Zn和Ni 3种重金属生物有效性关系为:ABCD,与其他处理相比,处理A残渣态的Pb和Cr增加比例较多,综合来看,处理A对重金属生物有效性的降低最为明显,重金属钝化效果最佳。     

辅料及工艺参数对干旱地区污泥堆肥物理指标动态变化的影响

针对我国西北干旱地区污泥堆肥过程中存在升温速度慢和缺少适宜堆肥技术参数的问题,通过大型条垛式污泥堆肥正交实验,研究堆肥过程中堆体的温度、pH、电导率、含水率的动态变化过程,以期明确适宜该地区的污泥堆肥技术参数。结果表明,当玉米秸秆配比为15%时,堆体的升温速度达17.3 ℃∙d⁻¹,最高温度可达75 ℃以上;当秸秆粒径为5 cm时,高温持续时间最长,达22 d;堆体的电导率随着秸秆配比的增加呈增加的趋势,堆肥结束后以秸秆配比15%的电导率值最大。从水分变化来看,堆肥10 d后,污泥先静置6 d后翻抛的堆体上层含水率高,而常规翻抛的堆体各层含水率在15 d后呈现下层>上层>中层的垂直空间分布。总体而言,玉米秸秆粒径对堆体温度影响最大,而玉米秸秆配比对堆体含水率影响最大。西北干旱区污泥条垛式堆肥最优技术参数为添加5 cm粒径的玉米秸秆15%,完全混合先静置6 d后进行翻抛。本研究结果可为我国西北干旱地区生活污泥高效堆肥提供参考。

为实现污水厂污泥及余泥渣土的协同处理和资源化利用,以“两步法”制备人工土壤,考察不同配比条件对人工土壤理化性质的影响。结果表明：污水污泥与3种不同辅料 (玉米秸秆、菌菇渣、木屑) 配比后进行好氧堆肥,堆肥结束后腐熟度符合国家相关标准要求,将污泥堆肥产物和余泥渣土制备得到人工土壤,其理化性质与天然土壤类似。堆肥添加量能显著影响人工土壤水稳性团聚体、pH值、EC、有机质、总氮及有效磷含量,在人工土壤种植应用时,污泥+玉米秸秆的堆肥种植效果最好,采用改进的内罗梅综合指数法进行综合评价,综合考虑,污泥+玉米秸秆堆肥产物添加量为30%、余泥渣土添加量为70%和污泥+玉米秸秆堆肥产物添加量为50%、余泥渣土添加量为50%是最优质的人工土壤,污泥+木屑堆肥次之,污泥+菌菇渣堆肥效果最差。     

分选垃圾、菜市场垃圾和腐熟污泥混合堆肥过程中氮素转化和损失研究

设计了两组高温堆肥实验,A组分选垃圾和腐熟污泥按质量比1∶1混合,B组分选垃圾、菜市场垃圾和腐熟污泥按质量比1∶1∶1混合。结果表明:A、B两组的堆体温度大于55℃的时间均不低于3d,满足卫生学要求,能够实现无害化处理,B组堆体高温持续时间比A组长近10d。堆肥过程中,A、B两组堆体TN和有机氮总体逐渐降低,氨氮先增加后减少,硝态氮则一直上升;A、B两组堆体N2O的释放主要集中在堆肥前期,堆肥前7天N_2O的释放量均达到总量的90%以上,堆肥过程中B组的氮素损失率为30.65%,低于A组的氮素损失率(48.02%)。

过量生石灰对污泥含水率和有机物含量的影响

为了研究生石灰(氧化钙,CaO)处理活性污泥对污泥含水率和有机物含量的影响,通过向南京某城市污水处理厂出厂污泥投加过量CaO进行脱水实验,测定投加CaO后污泥的含水率;烘干后的脱水污泥进行热重实验,研究CaO投加量对污泥中有机组分含量的影响.脱水实验表明:随着CaO与污泥质量比的增大,污泥含水率迅速减小,当质量比达到1.5时,污泥达到完全脱水;投加过量CaO的脱水污泥呈干燥的粉末状,粒度均匀,可作为水泥生产的辅料。热重实验表明:投加CaO后单位干泥失重百分比随CaO与污泥质量比增大而逐渐减小,向污泥中投加CaO有利于污泥中有机组分的释放和去除,实现污泥的稳定化。     

水分快速分析仪测定城市污泥的含水率

污泥含水率是污水处理、污泥处理及污泥处置利用等环节的重要评估指标。本研究采用快速测定法对不同类型城市污泥含水率进行测定,考察了污泥含水率、质量、颗粒度对测定结果影响,并与国标重量法进行比较。结果表明：污泥质量对快速法测定结果影响较小,原始污泥测定结果标准偏差在0.01%~0.05%之间,常规脱水污泥和生物沥浸脱水污泥测定结果标准偏差均为0.03%;相比国标法,脱水污泥含水率越低,快速法测定结果误差越大,常规脱水污泥和生物沥浸脱水污泥测定结果相对误差分别为-2.09%和-3.49%;脱水污泥颗粒度越大,快速法测定结果偏差越大,常规脱水污泥和生物沥浸脱水污泥总体样本标准偏差分别为0.43%和1.25%。另外发现,在相同干化条件下,生物沥浸脱水污泥相对于常规脱水污泥有较快的水分蒸发速度。针对城市污泥,为缩短测定时间和提高工作效率,待测污泥优选质量≤4 g和颗粒度≤3 mm,且建议只在生产运行中使用,室内科研实验优选国标法。     

湿污泥在流化床中干燥特性

在鼓泡流化床干燥器内,床料采用0～1 mm的石英砂,以热空气作为干燥介质,对城市污水污泥的流态化干燥特性进行实验研究。通过控制送风温度、流化风量、加料量、污泥粒径等参数,研究在不同工况条件下床温以及干污泥含水率的变化情况。结果表明,随着送风温度的升高,床温升高,干污泥含水率下降,最终趋向于一个稳定值8%。床温随流化风量的增加先是减小而后升高,干污泥的含水率随流化风量的增加先是降低而后增大。当加料量从11 kg/h增加到13kg/h时,干污泥的含水率基本没有变化,当加料量超过13 kg/h时,干污泥的含水率从8.1%开始呈递增趋势。随污泥粒径的增大,床温升高,干污泥含水率也随之升高。     

Bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soil with composting

The major objective of this research was to find the appropriate mix ratio of organic amendments for enhancing diesel oil degradation during contaminated soil composting. Sewage sludge or compost was added as an amendment for supplementing organic matter for composting of contaminated soil. The ratios of contaminated soil to organic amendments were 1:0.1, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, and 1:1 as wet weight basis. Target contaminant of this research was diesel oil, which was spiked at 10,000 mg/kg sample on a dry weight basis. The degradation of diesel oil was significantly enhanced by the addition of these organic amendments relative to straight soil. Degradation rates of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and n-alkanes were the greatest at the ratio of 1:0.5 of contaminated soil to organic amendments on wet weight basis. Preferential degradation of n-alkanes over TPH was observed regardless of the kind and the amount of organic amendments. The first order degradation constant of n-alkanes was about twice TPH degradation constant. Normal alkanes could be divided in two groups (C10-C15 versus C16-C20) based on the first order kinetic constant. Volatilization loss of TPH was only about 2% of initial TPH. Normal alkanes lost by volatilization were mainly by the compounds of C10 to C16. High correlations (r=0.80-0.86) were found among TPH degradation rate, amount of CO2 evolved, and dehydrogenase activity.     

Translocation of metals and its effects in the tomato plants grown on various amendments of tannery waste: evidence for involvement of antioxidants

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different amendments of tannery sludge on physiological and biochemical parameters of tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum L. Mill). The accumulation of metals (Cr, Fe) in different parts of tomato plants grown on tannery sludge amended soil increased in a concentration and duration-dependent manner. The accumulation of both the metals was found lowest in the fruits of the plant. The statistical analysis of the results showed an increase in chlorophyll and protein contents in lower sludge amendment ratio at all exposures followed by a decrease at highest (100%) sludge amendment ratio. Lipid peroxidation enhanced in both root and leaves of sludge grown plants of tomato at all the sludge amendments and exposure periods, which is evidenced by increased malondialdehyde content, however the maximum increase was found in the roots (43.63%) and leaves (56.66%) of the plant grown on 100% tannery sludge at 60 d, over respective controls. The level of antioxidants, cysteine, non-protein thiol and ascorbic acid increased in the sludge grown plants of tomato to cope up with stress induced by the excess amount of the heavy metals present in the tannery sludge. The maximum increase was found in cysteine content (75.53% in the leaves), non-protein thiol content (92.68% in the roots) and ascorbic acid content (29.66% in the roots) of the plant at 75% tannery sludge after 30 d. The tomato plants were found well adopted for minimizing damage induced by reactive oxygen species, when grown on tannery sludge amendments in the present study.     

过氧乙酸和亚铁联用调质强化活性污泥过滤脱水性能

尝试采用过氧乙酸和亚铁联用来改善活性污泥过滤脱水干化效率,分析了调理过程中污泥比阻(SRF)和泥饼含水率、絮体粒径分布以及胞外聚合物(EPS)组成和分布的变化特征,深入研究了过氧乙酸(peracetic acid, PAA)和亚铁离子联合调理污泥对其脱水性能的作用机制。研究表明,投加适量PAA后,污泥pH降至2.5~4,加入亚铁离子会与PAA解离后产生的H2O2形成Fenton氧化体系,从而有效地氧化裂解污泥,降解EPS中蛋白质和多糖,促使其中结合水的释放。当亚铁与过氧化氢摩尔比和PAA投加量分别为2:1和0.1 g/gTSS时,污泥脱水性能达到最佳。最后,将污泥pH值调为中性后,由于反应过程中原位形成的三价铁的混凝作用,污泥脱水性进一步改善。本研究说明过氧乙酸和亚铁组合调理可以有效提高污泥的过滤和干化效能。     

Heavy metal mobility in runoff water and absorption by eggplant fruits from sludge treated soil

Sewage sludge addition to agricultural lands requires judicious management to avoid environmental risks arising from heavy metal and nitrate contamination of surface water and accumulation in edible plants. A field study was conducted on a silty-loam soil of 10% slope at Kentucky State University Research Farm. Eighteen plots of 22 x 3.7 m each were separated using metal borders and the soil in six plots was mixed with sewage sludge and yard waste compost mix (SS-YW) at 15 t acre(-1), six plots were mixed with sewage sludge (SS) at 15 t acre(-1), and six unamended plots that never received sludge were used for comparison purposes. Plots were planted with eggplant, Solanum melongena L. as the test plant. The objectives of this investigation were to: 1) assess the effect of soil amendments on the transport of NO3, NH4, and heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Mo) into surface water; 2) investigate the effect of soil amendments on heavy metal bioavailability in eggplant fruits at harvest; and 3) assess chemical and physical properties of soil following addition of soil amendments and their impact on the yield and quality of eggplant fruit. SS-YW treatments reduced runoff water by 63% while plots incorporated with sewage sludge alone reduced runoff water by 37% compared to control treatment. The SS-YW treatments transported more mineral nitrogen (NO3-N and NH4-N) in runoff water than SS treatments. Total marketable yield (lbs acre(-1)) and number of eggplant fruits were greatest in SS-YW treatments. This response may be due to improved soil porosity, water, and nutrient retention of the soil amended with SS-YW mixture. Concentrations of heavy metals in soil amended with sludge were below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) limits. Chromium, Ni, Zn, and Cu were taken up by eggplant fruits but their concentrations were below the Codex Commission allowable levels.     

Response of antioxidants in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grown on different amendments of tannery sludge: its metal accumulation potential

The interaction of metals present in tannery waste and their tolerance in the plants of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was studied in the present paper under field conditions. Effects of 100% tannery sludge and various amendments of tannery sludge (10%, 25%, 35%, 50%, 75%) along with one set of control were studied on the physiological and biochemical parameters of the plant along with their metal accumulation potential after 30, 60 and 90 d after sowing. The plants of H. annuus were found effective in the accumulation of metals (Cr, Fe, Zn and Mn) in roots, shoots and leaves, however, the level of toxic metal, Cr was found below detection limit in the seeds of the plant. The oil was extracted from the seeds of the plant and the level of oil content was increased up to 35% tannery sludge as compared to control followed by decrease at higher tannery sludge ratio. An increase in the chlorophyll, protein, cysteine, non-protein thiol and sugar contents was observed at the lower amendment of tannery sludge at initial exposure periods followed by decrease than their respective controls. Malondialdehyde content in the roots and leaves was increased beyond 50% sludge amendments at all the exposure periods as compared to control. However, proline and ascorbic acid contents of the roots and leaves of the plant increased at all the exposure periods and sludge amendments, compared to their respective controls.     

河湖疏浚淤泥的表征、絮凝和脱水

以无锡锡山湿地公园河道淤泥及太湖贡湖湾疏浚底泥为研究对象,对比分析了两种淤泥的矿物组成、粒径分布及泥微粒表面基团、ζ电位等理化特性。以聚丙烯酰胺类聚合物(polyacrylamide,PAM)为絮凝剂,对比分析了其在2种底泥絮凝分离、真空抽滤脱水过程中的作用特征,并对相关影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明,两种淤泥样具有相近的主体矿物组分、有机基团及ζ电位值,但有机质含量稍高的淤泥样中大颗粒所占比例相对较高。相比阳离子型PAM,阴离子型PAM在较少用量下即可获得较大絮团,但上清液浊度较高。絮凝泥在抽滤过程受絮团尺寸影响较大, PAM不同类型基团间的差异对其影响较小,但对趋于平衡后的泥饼含水率略有影响。
