重力出流式膜生物反应器的膜通量及膜污染控制研究

采用新型的重力出流式膜生物反应器(MBR)处理生活污水和垃圾渗滤液,考察了其在长期运行过程中膜通量的变化规律及其影响因素.结果表明,该MBR能够在较低液位水头(8.5～15.0 kPa)的作用下连续出水,并获得较高的膜通量.处理生活污水时,平均膜通量为11.2 L·(m²·h)^-1;处理垃圾渗滤液时,平均膜通量为6.4 L·(m²·h)^-1.研究发现,污泥浓度对膜通量影响大小与曝气强度有关.当曝气强度小于400 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,膜通量随着污泥浓度的升高显著下降;当曝气强度大于400 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,膜通量几乎不受污泥浓度和曝气强度的影响.对膜的化学清洗试验表明,NaOH+NaClO溶液清洗效果最佳,膜通量可恢复至初始通量的85%以上.进一步研究表明,混合液中高浓度的溶解性胞外聚合物是MBR处理垃圾渗滤液时膜通量较低的主要原因.     

膜序批式间歇反应器的膜污染特性及控制

采取厌-好氧交替运行、实验室人工配水的方式,连续运行300 d,研究膜序批式间歇反应器运行过程的膜污染特性及其控制.结果表明,在运行初期的75 d内,污泥处于絮体状,SVI值64.6～110.6 　mL·g^-1,膜污染呈快速指数增长趋势,TMP平均增长速率为0.309　kPa·d^-1,膜阻力变化在0.393×10¹¹～1.298×10¹¹ m^-1·d^-1之间,比膜通量从4.4 　L·(m²·h·kPa)^-1下降为0.52 　L·(m²·h·kPa)^-1,75　d时的临界膜通量为20 　L·(m²·h)^-1.从75～120　d对系统进行了调控,反应器培养出好氧颗粒污泥,SVI值逐渐下降,从170　d开始,SVI一直保持在40 　mL·g^-1左右,污泥粒径逐渐增大,220　d时污泥粒径分布大多在500～1 000　μm.120～300　d运行过程中的膜污染呈缓慢增长趋势,TMP平均增长率仅为0.062 　kPa·d^-1,膜阻力变化率在0.291×10¹¹～0.404×10¹¹m^-1·d^-1,比膜通量从4.4 　L·(m²·h·kPa)^-1下降为1.4 　L·(m²·h·kPa)^-1,220 d时的临界膜通量为40 　L·(m²·h)^-1.这些数据表明好氧颗粒污泥的培养对减缓膜污染发生具有极大作用.曝气强度为100 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,比膜通量最大,曝气强度为69 m³·(m²·h)^-1时,膜污染速率最小.     

EGSB反应器中实现完全自营养脱氮与运行优化

同时接种好氧氨氧化污泥和厌氧氨氧化污泥启动EGSB反应器,培养完全自营养脱氮颗粒污泥,总氮去除速率达0.101 kg·(m³·d)^-1.基于边界层假设模拟颗粒污泥与液相主体间的传质过程,并将其与颗粒污泥内传质过程以及好氧氨氧化、厌氧氨氧化和亚硝酸盐氧化过程相耦合,建立了颗粒污泥完全自营养脱氮模型,应用实验结果对模型进行了验证.根据模拟结果对EGSB反应器运行条件进行优化,总氮平均去除效率由52%提高到61%,平均去除速率由0.103 kg·(m³·d)^-1提高到0.114 kg·(m³·d)^-1.     

人工湿地氮转化与氧关系研究

应用N转化迁移模型分析廊道式人工湿地氮转化与氧供应的关系,验证目前湿地全程硝化反硝化脱氮机制的有效性.对各个廊道进出水NH₄⁺-N、NO₃^--N、TN、B₅、DO进行了测定和分析.在水力负荷5cm/d条件下,各廊道湿地有机氮矿化率为0.01～0.28g·(m²·d)^-1、氨氮硝化率0.50～1.54 g·(m²·d)^-1,反硝化率0.41～1.13 g·(m²·d)^-1(占总氮损失的3.4%～35.4%)、植物净吸收氮0.07～0.26 g·(m²·d)^-1(占总氮损失的7%～33%).硝化反硝化与有机质降解同时进行,在进水端最明显,这与传统认识相悖.按照全程硝化化学计量学得到的硝化需氧量(NOD)高于实际的表面复氧和植物根系放氧.最后对在高浓度有机质存在条件下,能减少对氧需求的2种新型脱氮机制进行了讨论.     

应用大气扩散模式进行区域稻田甲烷源强估算

传统通量箱方法对区域稻田甲烷源强的估算具有很大不确定性 .本研究应用箱模式和 ATDL模式估算区域稻田甲烷排放率 .箱模式和 ATDL模式估算排放率分别为 :6月 13.2～ 30.4mg· (m²·h)^-1 和 6.1～ 8.5mg·(m²·h)^-1,9月 10.4～20.0 mg·(m²·h)^-1 和 5.5～9.3mg·(m²·h)^-1;而传统通量箱方法估算排放率为 :6月 0.3～ 14.3mg·(m²·h)^-1 ,9月 0～0.3mg·(m²·h)^-1.分析表明 ,北京地区水稻生长季的接地逆温等不利气象条件使箱模式应用的基本假设难以满足 ,使之得出偏高的估算结果 . ATDL模式能较好地适应这种不利气象条件 ,并在 6月得出了与通量观测结果相近的估算结果 ,而其 9月高于通量观测结果的估算 ,却可能证实了通量箱方法难以测得的干旱稻田土壤裂缝的甲烷排放 ,有待于进一步研究证实 .

在1999-07～2000-01,监测了长春市5个功能区及一个对照点的大气颗粒汞浓度.非采暖期,市区颗粒汞浓度范围为0.022ng·m^-3～0.398ng·m^-3,平均为0.145 ng·m^-3,对照点平均为0.084ng·m^-3.采暖期,市区颗粒汞浓度范围为0.148ng·m^-3～1.984ng·m^-3,平均为0.461ng·m^-3,对照点平均为0.211ng·m^-3.采暖期颗粒汞浓度平均超出非采暖期2倍以上.燃煤与地面扬尘是大气颗粒汞的2个主要来源.地面扬尘对颗粒汞的贡献约占8%～30%.应用理论模型估算汞的干沉降通量,市区颗粒汞干沉降通量为43.06μg·(m2·a)^-1,对照点为21.28ng·(m²·a)^-1.     

车辆限行对道路和施工扬尘排放的影响

采用降尘法对道路和施工扬尘排放进行连续监测,通过限行之前和限行期间数据分析,研究了“好运北京”体育赛事期间机动车交通限行措施对道路和施工扬尘的消减情况、道路和施工扬尘对北京大气环境颗粒物的贡献率、道路和施工扬尘源占本地颗粒物排放总量的比重.结果表明,车辆限行措施对降低道路和施工扬尘的效果明显;环路限行期间降尘量平均值为0.27 g·(m²·d)^-1,限行之前1个月和限行之前7d降尘量平均值为0.81和0.59 g·(m²·d)^-1,主干道和次干道限行期间降尘量平均值为0.21 g·(m²·d)^-1,限行之前1个月和限行之前7 d降尘量平均值为0.54和0.58 g·(m²·d)^-1,道路降尘量下降了60%～70%;限行期间民用建筑施工降尘量平均值为0.27 g·(m²·d)^-1,限行之前20 d为1.15 g·(m²·d)^-1,限行期间公用建筑施工降尘量平均值为1.06 g·(m²·d)^-1,限行之前20 d为1.55 g·(m²·d)^-1,施工降尘下降30%～47%;道路和施工扬尘是北京市颗粒物污染的主要来源,其对环境PM₁₀的贡献率为21%～36%;当本地污染源PM₁₀排放量占环境总量的50%和70%时,道路和施工扬尘PM₁₀排放量分别占本地污染源的42%～72%和30%～51%.     

水力负荷对生物滤池中蚯蚓抗氧化酶和消化酶活性的影响

通过工况试验考察了不同水力负荷条件对生物滤池中蚯蚓的抗氧化酶（超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶）和消化酶（纤维素酶、碱性磷酸酶）活性的影响.结果表明,蚯蚓体内抗氧化酶和消化酶活性对水力负荷胁迫的响应不同.在2.4～6.7 m³·(m²·d)^-1的水力负荷条件下,蚯蚓体内的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性随水力负荷的增大而增强,蚯蚓通过自身抗氧化系统的协调作用来抵御外界环境胁迫,在各工况条件下均能生存.蚯蚓体内消化酶活性和其消化能力、滤池污泥减量和稳定化效果具有很好的相关性(p<0.05).水力负荷为4.8 m³·(m²·d)^-1时,蚯蚓具有较高的碱性磷酸酶(AKP)和纤维素酶(FP)活性,消化率（41.47%）显著高于其他工况,污泥减量率、污泥有机质分解率均达到最高值,分别为48.2%、 65.5%.高水力负荷［≥6.0 m³·(m²·d)^-1］对蚯蚓体内AKP、FP活性抑制较显著,污泥的代谢水平受到影响,污泥减量率和有机质分解率均有一定程度下降,不利于蚯蚓生态功效的发挥.综合蚯蚓抗氧化酶及消化酶的响应结果,蚯蚓生物滤池运行水力负荷不宜超过6.0 m³·(m²·d)^-1.     

人工湿地组合工艺对水体中浮游动物群落结构的影响

研究了在不同水力负荷条件下［0.6 m³·(m²·d)^-1,0.8 m³·(m²·d)^-1,1.0 m³·(m²·d)^-1］,人工湿地组合工艺系统对浮游动物群落结构的影响和在相同的水力负荷下,人工湿地组合工艺系统对浮游动物群落结构影响的季节性变化.结果表明,在水力冲击负荷为0.8 m³·(m²·d)^-1时对浮游动物群落结构的影响相对较大;春、夏、秋季的作用强于冬季,而秋季对浮游动物群落结构的影响最大;对大型浮游动物的影响大（去除率≥70％）,对小型浮游动物的影响相对小一些,湿地出水中出现了一些进水中没有的种类;稳定塘的存在对浮游动物的群落结构变化起到了缓解作用,组合工艺（下行流湿地→兼性塘）的作用效果较弱;下行流→上行流湿地→推流床湿地和下行流湿地→推流床湿地的作用效果较强,对浮游动物的影响较大.

以钢渣为主要基质构建小型潜流湿地,探索湿地运行初期对污水中低浓度无机氮的去除效果及氮转化特点.结果表明,钢渣湿地对氨氮型污水中总氮(TN)、氨氮(NH⁺₄-Ｎ)和硝氮(ＮＯ^-₃-Ｎ)的去除速率分别是0.12、 0.07和0.10 　g·(m²·d)^-1,亚硝氮(ＮＯ^-2-Ｎ)积累速率是0.04 　g·(m²·d)^-1;荧光原位杂交方法没有在钢渣基质上检测到硝化细菌,NH⁺₄-Ｎ去除的主要途径是在高pH (>10)的水环境下挥发到上层土壤,由土壤层去除;钢渣湿地对硝氮型污水中TN的去除速率是0.23 　g·(m²·d)^-1,ＮＯ^-₃-Ｎ的去除速率是0.48 　g·(m²·d)^-1,ＮＯ^-₃-Ｎ在钢渣湿地内主要通过反硝化去除,反硝化过程中出现ＮＯ^-2-Ｎ积累,积累速率为0.22 　g·(m²·d)^-1.钢渣湿地运行初期对硝氮型污水的处理能力高于氨氮型污水,钢渣可作为一种强化反硝化基质应用于ＮＯ^-₃-Ｎ的去除或其他组合工艺中.     

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.

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.
