垃圾填埋场覆盖黄土的甲烷氧化能力及其影响因素研究

利用西安江村沟填埋场不同覆盖时间的临时覆盖黄土和新鲜黄土掺堆肥配置的土样,开展了甲烷氧化培养瓶试验,培养历时最长达22d,研究了不同覆盖时间的覆盖黄土和不同堆肥掺量的新鲜黄土的甲烷氧化能力,以及含水量对覆盖黄土甲烷氧化能力的影响,分析了甲烷氧化过程中各组分气体体积变化关系.研究结果表明:不同覆盖时间的覆盖黄土的甲烷氧化能力相差很大,覆盖3~5年的黄土最大甲烷氧化能力达26.05~53.95μg CH4/(g×h), 而未覆盖的新鲜黄土几乎没有甲烷氧化能力.在新鲜黄土中掺入堆肥,能有效提高其甲烷氧化能力,且在堆肥掺量小于50%时,土样的最大甲烷氧化能力与堆肥掺量呈正比例关系.含水量对覆盖土的甲烷氧化能力有很大影响,黄土甲烷氧化的最适宜含水量约为20% ~ 30%.在甲烷氧化过程中,甲烷氧化菌将CH4中约44%的碳氧化为CO2,其余碳转化为甲烷氧化菌胞内物质.实际工程中进行覆盖层设计时,需要根据填埋场实际产气量和覆盖层导气性确定与甲烷通量相匹配的甲烷氧化速率,进而合理确定堆肥掺量.     

填埋场终场覆盖层甲烷氧化行为实验室模拟研究

利用和强化填埋场终场覆盖层土壤的甲烷氧化能力是控制填埋场温室气体排放的一种经济和有效的手段.以杭州天子岭填埋场终场覆土为研究对象,采用柱实验方法对填埋场终场覆盖层的甲烷氧化行为进行模拟研究.实验结果表明,模拟柱整体甲烷氧化速率由实验初始的3.33 mol·m-2·d-1增至8.33mol·m-2·d-1,表征了甲烷氧化菌群的生长与增殖;覆土层氧气的空间分布与其中的甲烷氧化活动有显著的交互影响,甲烷氧化活动在10～20 cm深度最为强烈;整个实验过程中,甲烷氧化后转化为二氧化碳的比例为51%,其余的碳被微生物所固定.     

甲烷胁迫下不同填埋场覆盖土的氧化活性及其菌群结构

对比研究了常规填埋场覆盖材料(粘土)和甲烷胁迫下垃圾生物处理后的材料(垃圾土)的甲烷氧化活性及其菌群结构.结果表明,粘土由于持水能力弱,其含水量较低,随着环境温度、降水等条件的变化,极易结块,从而影响其中甲烷氧化菌的生长;而垃圾土富含有机物,持水力强,空隙率高,有利于甲烷氧化菌的生长和繁殖.暴露于甲烷气流120 d后,垃圾土柱中下层土壤的甲烷氧化潜力达到了11.25～13.48 μmol/(g·h),是相应粘土层甲烷氧化潜力的10.4～24.5倍.土柱上层土壤由于水分蒸发、变干,抑制了其甲烷氧化活性.试验结束时,垃圾土柱甲烷氧化去除率达到了48.3%,是粘土柱的5～6倍.甲烷氧化菌TypeⅠ和TypeⅡ的生物标记物 PLFAs 16：1ω8c和18：1ω8c分析表明,土样的PLFA18：1ω8c含量与其甲烷氧化潜力具有很好的线性相关性.     

庭院垃圾对填埋场甲烷的减量化研究

将熟化时间为24个月和2个月的庭院垃圾分别用于建设0.9 m厚的1#和2#两个生物覆盖层单元,并进行了为期15个月的野外试验,以验证庭院垃圾能否作为生物覆盖层材料用于减少垃圾填埋场甲烷的排放,以及利用同位素和质量守恒方法量化生物覆盖层对垃圾填埋场甲烷的氧化能力.结果表明,两个生物覆盖层对甲烷的氧化能力在建设初期达到整个观测期的最高值,分别为(141±10)g·m-2·d-1和(197±27)g·m-2·d-1,随后生物覆盖单元的甲烷氧化能力随季节交替降低至18~120 g·m-2·d-1和23~70 g·m-2·d-1.试验的中后期,在两个生物覆盖单元中均观测到明显数量的甲烷产出.试验结果表明24个月和2个月熟化时间的庭院垃圾作为生物覆盖填料,均具有较好的甲烷减量化能力,但所含不稳定有机质在厌氧条件下的降解会造成额外的甲烷释放.除此之外,在利用质量守恒方法量化甲烷氧化率时,忽略非甲烷氧化菌的呼吸作用会高估庭院垃圾对甲烷的减量化能力.     

甲烷氧化菌在填埋场覆盖层的工程应用 (Ⅰ):分离与筛选

选取了湖泊底泥、矿化垃圾、覆盖土和好氧污泥4种填埋场周边易得基质为分离源,采用驯化、传代培养、甲烷氧化能力及适应性等方法进行了适合于填埋场覆盖层应用的甲烷氧化菌的筛选研究.结果表明,从好氧污泥中分离得到的甲烷氧化菌较其它分离源得到的甲烷氧化菌具有更高的甲烷氧化活性(2461.29μg·h-1·g-1,以每g干污泥每小时氧化的CH4量(μg)计,下同)和甲烷氧化速率增幅(1045.56μg·h-1·g-1,以每g干污泥每小时氧化的CH4量(μg)计,下同),接种后能显著提高覆盖材料的甲烷氧化能力(p0.05),且不受CH4浓度的抑制.源自好氧污泥的甲烷氧化菌具有生长迟滞期短、生长速率高等特点,对填埋场的甲烷削减更具适应性,有利于工程扩大应用.     

垃圾填埋场覆土层Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌的群落结构

采用基于16S rDNA 的变性凝胶梯度电泳(DGGE)技术研究了生活垃圾卫生填埋场和生物反应器填埋场覆土中Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌群落结构,比较了不同填埋操作方式对Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌的影响.结果表明,覆土铺有HDPE 膜、无填埋气体渗入的填埋覆土中未发现Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌;而有填埋气体渗入时,进行渗滤液亚表面灌溉的生物反应器填埋场,无论是否同时进行层内回灌,其覆土中均检测到甲烷孢囊菌(Methylocystis).卫生填埋场填埋龄长达5a 的填埋覆土中发现了甲基弯菌(Methylosinus),填埋龄较低的填埋场覆土中未发现II 型甲烷氧化菌.渗滤液亚表面灌溉及长时间填埋气体驯化能促进Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌的生长.有机质等营养物质丰富而NH4+-N浓度较低的填埋覆土有利于Ⅱ型甲烷氧化菌的生长.

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.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

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.
