The role of extracellular organic matter on the cyanobacteria ultrafiltration process

The membrane fouling caused by extracellular organic matter (EOM) and algal cells and organic matter removal of two typical cyanobacteria (M. aeruginosa and Pseudoanabaena sp.) during ultrafiltration (UF) process were studied in this work. The results showed that EOM had a broad molecular weight (Mw) distribution and the irreversible membrane fouling was basically caused by EOM. Moreover, humic acid and microbial metabolites were major components of EOM of two typical cyanobacteria. Since EOM could fill the voids of cake layers formed by the algal cells, EOM and algal cells played synergistic roles in membrane fouling. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that the CH₂ and CH₃ chemical bonds may play an important role in membrane fouling caused by EOM. Interestingly, the cake layer formed by the algal cells could trap the organic matter produced by algae and alleviate some irreversible membrane fouling. The results also showed that although the cake layer formed by the algal cells cause severe permeate flux decline, it could play a double interception role with UF membrane and increase organic matter removal efficiency. Therefore, when using UF to treat algae-laden water, the balance of membrane fouling and organic matter removal should be considered to meet the needs of practical applications.     

Cation exchange capacities of soil organic matter fractions in a Ferric Lixisol with different organic matter inputs

Soil organic matter (SOM) has an important effect on the physicochemical status of highly weathered soils in the tropics. This work was conducted to determine the contribution of different SOM fractions to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a tropical soil and to study the effect of organic matter inputs of different biochemical composition on the CEC of SOM. Soil samples were collected from a 20-year-old arboretum established on a Ferric Lixisol, under seven multipurpose tree species: Afzelia africana, Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Gmelina arborea, Leucaena leucocephala, Pterocarpus santalinoides, and Treculia africana. Fractions were obtained by wet sieving and sedimentation after ultrasonic dispersion. Relationships between CEC and pH were determined using the silver thiourea-method and were described by linear regression. The CEC of the fractions smaller than 0.053 mm was inversely related to their particle size: clay (<0.002 mm)>fine silt (0.002–0.02 mm)>coarse silt (0.02–0.053 mm), except for the soils under T. africana, D. barteri, and L. leucocephala, where the CEC of the fine silt fraction was highest or comparable to the CEC of the clay fraction. The clay and fine silt fractions were responsible for 76–90% of the soil CEC at pH 5.8. The contribution of the fine silt fraction to the CEC at pH 5.8 ranged from 35 to 50%, which stressed the importance of the fine silt fraction for the physicochemical properties of the soil. Differences in CEC between treatments for the whole soil and the fractions could be explained by the differences in carbon content. Except for the intercept for the clay fraction, SOM had a significant (P<0.001) contribution to both the intercepts (=estimated CEC at pH 0) and slopes (=pH-dependent charge) of the CEC–pH relationships for the whole soil and the fractions. The CEC of SOM at pH 5.8 varied between 283 cmol_c kg⁻¹ C for particulate organic matter, and 563 cmol_c kg⁻¹ C for the fine silt fraction. The biochemical composition of the organic inputs did not have an important effect on the CEC of SOM. In total, SOM was responsible for 75–85% of the CEC of these soils.     

融雪对土壤溶解性有机质溶析作用的影响

利用土壤浸提实验和土柱淋洗实验,考察了化学离子的种类与浓度对进入融雪径流的土壤溶解性有机物(DOM)的含量和光谱学特性的影响,以及不同化学特征的积雪融化过程中土壤DOM的释放规律.土壤浸提实验结果表明,随着Na~+、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中的溶解性有机碳(DOC)浓度显著降低;随着Cl~-、SO_4~(2-)、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中波长254 nm处的紫外吸光度(UV-254)逐渐降低;随着Na~+和Mg~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中单位浓度DOC的紫外吸收值(SUVA)值逐渐升高.NO_3~-、SO_4~(2-)和Na~+的浓度过高或过低时,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光峰强度较低;随着Cl~-、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸荧光峰强度逐渐降低.土柱淋溶实验结果表明,类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光物质是土壤淋滤液中的主要荧光物质.与纯水相比,融雪水作为淋洗液导致土壤淋滤液中DOC浓度的降低,以及类微生物代谢产物荧光峰强度的增高.冻融交替抑制DOM自土壤解吸进入淋滤液,并且导致土壤淋滤液中芳香族化合物相对含量的降低.     

冻融作用对土壤中溶解性有机物的光谱学特性的影响

以受季节性冻融过程影响显著的辽宁省棕壤和暗棕壤为研究对象,考察了冻结温度、融化温度、冻结时间和冻融次数对土壤中溶解性有机物(DOM)的光谱学特性的影响.结果表明:冻融处理条件下土壤中的溶解性有机碳(DOC)含量、波长254 nm处的紫外吸光度(UV-254)和单位浓度DOC的紫外吸收值(SUVA)的变化规律相似,均随冷冻和融化温度的升高而增大,随冷冻时间的延长先减小后增大,随冻融次数的增多而减小.冻融作用使DOM的腐殖化程度提高,分子量减小.随着冷冻时间的延长,DOM中类富里酸荧光物质和类腐殖酸荧光物质的含量先减少后增多;随着冻融次数的增多,DOM中荧光物质的含量逐渐减少.研究成果对于准确掌握冻融条件下土壤中DOM的变化规律,以及实施有效的土壤生态环境和地表水流域环境管理具有重要的理论意义和实用价值.     

溶解性有机质对芘在土壤中吸附解吸的影响

从腐解不同阶段的水稻秸秆提取溶解性有机质(DOM),用DAX-8树脂分组的方法分析了其亲疏水性,并研究了提取到的DOM对芘在土壤中吸附-解吸行为的影响.结果表明,随秸秆腐解时间的延长,产生DOM中亲水性组分减少,疏水性组分增多.在本试验所研究的吸附解吸实验条件下,芘在土壤中的吸附解吸均可用线性方程进行描述.加入DOM后,芘的吸附受到显著抑制(p0.01),并且随腐解时间延长,抑制作用增强;芘在土壤中存在解吸迟滞现象,加入DOM后迟滞现象减弱,促进了芘在土壤中的解吸.随腐解作用的进行,DOM促进芘解吸的作用增强,解吸迟滞系数减小.这是由于随秸秆腐解作用的进行,产生DOM中疏水性组分含量增多,其对芘的增溶作用增强所致.

Soil organic matter and biological soil quality indicators after 21 years of organic and conventional farming

Organic farming systems often comprise crops and livestock, recycle farmyard manure for fertilization, and preventive or biocontrol measures are used for plant protection. We determined indicators for soil quality changes in the DOK long-term comparison trial that was initiated in 1978. This replicated field trial comprises organic and integrated (conventional) farming systems that are typical for Swiss agriculture. Livestock based bio-organic (BIOORG), bio-dynamic (BIODYN) and integrated farming systems (CONFYM) were compared at reduced and normal fertilization intensity (0.7 and 1.4 livestock units, LU) in a 7 year crop rotation. A stockless integrated system is fertilized with mineral fertilizers exclusively (CONMIN) and one control treatment remained unfertilized (NOFERT). The CONFYM system is amended with stacked manure, supplemental mineral fertilizers, as well as chemical pesticides. Manure of the BIOORG system is slightly rotted and in BIODYN it is composted aerobically with some herbal additives. In the third crop rotation period at normal fertiliser intensity soil organic carbon (C_org, w/w) in the plough layer (0–20 cm) of the BIODYN system remained constant and decreased by 7% in CONFYM and 9% in BIOORG as compared to the starting values. With no manure application C_org-loss was severest in NOFERT (22%), followed by CONMIN together with the systems at reduced fertiliser intensity (14–16%). Soil pH tended to increase in the organic systems, whereas the integrated systems had the lowest pH values. At the end of the third crop rotation period in 1998 biological soil quality indicators were determined. Compared to soil microbial biomass in the BIODYN systems the CONFYM soils showed 25% lower values and the systems without manure application were lower by 34%. Relative to the BIODYN soils at the same fertilization intensity dehydrogenase activity was 39–42% lower in CONFYM soils and even 62% lower in soils of CONMIN. Soil basal respiration did not differ between farming systems at the same intensity, but when related to microbial biomass (qCO₂) it was 20% higher in CONFYM soils and 52% higher in CONMIN as compared to BIODYN, suggesting a higher maintenance requirement of microbial biomass in soils of the integrated systems. The manure based farming systems of the DOK trial are likely to favour an active and fertile soil. Both, C_org and biological soil quality indicators were clearly depending on the quantity and quality of the applied manure types, but soil microbial biomass and activities were much more affected than C_org.     

Electrochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter in a forest soil profile

Dissolved organic matter （DOM） represents one of the most mobile and reactive organic compounds in ecosystem and plays an important role in the fate and transport of soil organic pollutants, nutrient cycling and more importantly global climate change. Electrochemical methods were first employed to evaluate DOM redox properties, and spectroscopic approaches were utilized to obtain information concerning its composition and structure. DOM was extracted from a forest soil profile with five horizons. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that there were more redox-active moieties in the DOM from upper horizons than in that from lower horizons. Cyclic voltammetry further showed that these moieties were reversible in electron transfer. Chronoamperometry was employed to quantify the electron transfer capacity of DOM, including electron acceptor capacity and electron donor capacity, both of which decreased sharply with increasing depth. FT-IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra results suggested that DOM from the upper horizons was enriched with aromatic and humic structures while that from the lower horizons was rich in aliphatic carbon, which supported the findings obtained by electrochemical approaches. Electrochemical approaches combined with spectroscopic methods were applied to evaluate the characteristics of DOM extracted along a forest soil profile. The electrochemical properties of DOM, which can be rapidly and simply obtained, provide insight into the migration and transformation of DOM along a soil profile and will aid in better understanding of the biogeochemical role of DOM in natural environments.     

土壤有机质和镉对金霉素吸附-解吸的影响

金霉素已经广泛应用于兽药生产和疾病治疗.由于动物废弃物的土地应用和其它输入来源,重金属与四环素类抗生素往往共存于土壤环境中.基于OECD 106号指导准则,采用批量平衡实验方法,研究了金霉素及其与镉复合后在褐土及去有机质褐土中的吸附和解吸行为.结果表明,在单一和复合污染条件下,金霉素在褐土和去有机质褐土中的吸附和解吸等温线都可以用Freundlich模型进行良好地拟合.在金霉素单一污染和金霉素-镉复合污染条件下,去除有机质能够增加金霉素在褐土中的吸附容量(Kf)和吸附强度(1/n).金霉素在土壤上的解吸过程存在明显的滞后现象,在单一污染物情况下,金霉素在去有机质褐土的解吸滞后现象增强,其HI从0.81增加到1.06;而加镉后这种现象反而有所减弱,其HI从1.11减低到0.84.本研究为建立更加完善的模型以预测金霉素环境浓度或评价其环境风险,提供了可利用的数据和参数.     

氮沉降与生物炭对土壤可溶性有机质的影响

利用盆栽实验,探讨氮沉降与生物炭（BC）施用对杉木幼苗土壤可溶性有机碳（DOC）含量和可溶性有机质（DOM）光谱学特征的短期影响.氮沉降处理为0（对照）、40（低氮）和80kgN/（hm²·a）（高氮）,在不同氮沉降下BC施用水平分别为0（对照）、12（低量BC）和36t/hm²（高量BC）.结果表明：相比对照处理,单独低氮与单独高氮处理3个月后土壤pH值分别下降了0.06和0.09（P<0.05）,但单独施用BC和氮沉降背景下施用BC处理的土壤pH值均呈上升趋势,增加了0.32~0.94（P<0.05）.与对照处理相比,单独低氮处理的土壤DOC含量显著降低,单独高氮处理的则显著升高且DOM结构趋于简单;单独施用BC和氮沉降背景下施用BC处理中,低量BC处理的土壤DOC含量无明显变化,但高量BC处理的显著提高了30.1%~95.6%,并且DOM结构趋于复杂.冗余分析发现,土壤pH值是导致不同处理DOM存在差异的关键因素.因此,氮沉降背景下施用高量BC短期内可以减缓土壤酸化,提高土壤DOC含量并使DOM更加稳定.

Interactive effect of dissolved organic matter and phenanthrene on soil enzymatic activities

The investigation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on urease, catalase and polyphenol oxidase activity in a phenanthrene (Phe)-contaminated soil was conducted under laboratory incubation conditions. Values of soil enzymatic activity depended mainly on incubation time. In the initial 16 days, urease activity increased, and was followed by a decrease. In the initial 8 days, catalase activity decreased and then increased. Variation of polyphenol oxidase activity was just the reverse of catalase activity. After 30 days of incubation, no pronounced difference among treatments with Phe, Phe and DOM, and control were detected in urease, catalase and polyphenol oxidase activity. Phe might inhibit urease and catalase, and stimulate polyphenol oxidase. DOM could improve inhibition of Phe in soil urease and catalase activity during the initial period of applying DOM. Nevertheless, DOM had no significant effect on polyphenol oxidase activity in the Phe contaminated soil. There was a negative correlation between catalase and polyphenol oxidase (r = -0.761~(***)), and catalase and urease (r = -0.554~(**)). Additionally, a positive correlation between polyphenol oxidase and urease was also detected (r = 0.701~(***)). It is implied that the formed DOM after application of organic wastes into soils may counteract the inhibition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil enzyme activities.     

黄土高原及周边地区土壤有机质对现代土壤磁化率的影响

磁化率是黄土-古土壤序列古气候研究的一个重要指标。本文调查了黄土高原及周边地区三种类型土壤的磁化率、土壤有机碳含量、有机碳同位素组成和碳氮比值等指标。样品采集自黄土-沙漠过渡区、黄土塬面和森林地区,代表了黄土高原地区主要的土壤类型。结果显示:黄土塬面、林区、黄土-沙漠过渡区土壤的磁化率变化区间分别为26.6×10~(-8)—61.4×10~(-8) m~3?kg~(-1)、68.6×10~(-8)—107.5×10~(-8) m~3?kg~(-1)、8.5×10~(-8)—44.4×10~(-8) m~3?kg~(-1)。黄土塬面土壤有机碳含量在0.05%到0.62%之间变化,而林区土壤的有机碳含量在1.19%到3.35%间变化。黄土塬面的土壤C/N比值也较低,在0.6到6.1之间变化,林区样品C/N比值在6.2到11.83之间变化。黄土-沙漠过渡区土壤磁化率较低,森林地区土壤磁化率较高,土壤磁化率与有机碳含量、C/N比值呈正相关关系。笔者认为有机质含量增加对土壤的磁化率增强有明显贡献。有机质含量较高时,更适宜土壤中磁性细菌的生长。同时,较高的有机质含量指示着较高植被覆盖,这也对土壤中磁性矿物增加有一定贡献。燃烧有机质还会使非磁性矿物更易转化为磁性矿物。这些因素都会增强土壤的磁化率。     

氮沉降与生物炭对土壤可溶性有机质的影响
