接种自行培养的活性污泥,以模拟废水为基质,采用连续进水、间歇出水及厌氧/好氧交替的运行模式,尝试了在SFBR中进行好氧颗粒污泥的培养,并研究了好氧颗粒污泥的特性及反应器对污染物的去除效果.结果表明,通过逐步缩短沉降时间,28 d时成功培养出好氧颗粒污泥,所形成的好氧颗粒污泥呈黄色、形状不规则,且粒径较小(平均粒径0.56 mm),正常情况下的SVI保持在70 mL·g-1以下,EPS在59 d时达到最大值(以MLVSS计)373.24 mg·g-1,较培养初期增加了约2.5倍,运行后期由于颗粒出现解体,导致EPS急剧下降;反应器在运行过程中未能保持较高的污泥量,中后期MLSS始终在3 000mg·L-1以下;在63 d的运行时间里,除异常波动外,反应器对COD的去除率基本维持在90%左右,正常情况下出水COD小于100 mg·L-1,反应器对NH+4-N、TIN的去除效果波动较大,去除率分别为44.45%~94.72%及43.87%~93.13%,反应器对TP的去除率在44.50%~97.40%之间,正常情况下TP去除率可维持在60%以上;限于自动控制水平,夜间长时间的好氧饥饿期容易造成丝状菌过度生长,使得AGS在生长竞争中处于劣势,最终导致了AGS的解体.     

接种好氧颗粒污泥快速启动硝化工艺的过程研究

中温(28～30℃)条件下,以自配无机氨氮废水为研究对象,在柱形SBR反应器中接种好氧颗粒污泥,通过逐步提升进水NH4+-N浓度(100～1 000 mg·L-1)和缩短水力停留时间(8～4 h),快速启动硝化颗粒污泥工艺.系统运行约30 d时,进水NH4+-N负荷达3.9 kg·(m3.d)-1,NH4+-N平均去除率在95%以上;后续高负荷运行阶段,氨氧化速率达5.0 kg·(m3.d)-1左右;反应器中出现亚硝酸盐持续积累的现象,25～70 d期间,NO2--N积累速率达2～4.5 kg·(m3.d)-1;尽管进水组分发生变化(COD/N),且进水负荷波动频繁,但整个运行过程中污泥始终保持良好的颗粒结构,SVI为30～40 mL·g-1,36 d时粒径大于0.21 mm的颗粒污泥约占污泥的93%(质量分数);颗粒污泥由接种时的浅黄色逐渐变为棕黄色,部分变为棕色.结果表明,以好氧颗粒污泥接种是快速启动硝化工艺和形成硝化颗粒污泥的关键.     

实际污水培养好氧颗粒污泥及其特性研究

采用实际城市污水在序批式反应器(SBR)中试装置中成功培养出好氧颗粒污泥.颗粒污泥的沉降速率>21 m·h-1,显示了良好的沉降性能.颗粒污泥对化学需氧量(COD)、氮(N)、磷(P)具有同步去除的能力.在3 h的运行周期中,反应器出水COD<50 mg·L-1,氨氮(NH+4-N)<5.0 mg·L-1,总氮(TN)<15 mg·L-1,对TN和总磷(TP)的去除率达到50%.采用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)对好氧颗粒污泥的结构分析表明,好氧颗粒污泥的胞外多聚物(EPS)在整个颗粒污泥中均匀地分布,构成颗粒污泥的骨架.对颗粒污泥的X射线衍射(XRD)分析显示,在好氧颗粒污泥的内部存在许多无机矿物质,在颗粒污泥形成初期,废水中的无机成分可能具有"晶核"的作用.     

Ca~(2+)在好氧颗粒污泥形成中的作用

通过运行序批式生物反应器与摇瓶实验相结合方法,在进水中投加不同数量Ca2+(0～200mg/L),考察了Ca2+在好氧颗粒污泥形成中的作用.当SBRⅠ、Ⅱ进水Ca2+含量分别为30、100mg/L,运行20d后,两反应器中均出现了好氧颗粒污泥.运行前50d,SBRⅠ中颗粒污泥浓度MLSS与污泥沉降指数SVI指标明显好于SBRⅡ;运行80d后,SBRⅠ、Ⅱ中污泥浓度MLSS均稳定在7.5g/L,SVI分别为46～48mL/g、45～47mL/g,差异很小.反应器运行90d后,SBRⅠ、Ⅱ中污泥Zeta(ζ)电位为-12.5～-12.6mV;摇瓶实验中,当进水Ca2+为0～200mg/L,运行至60d时,摇瓶中污泥Zeta电位为-14.1～-14.4mV;进水中Ca2+含量的增加对污泥Zeta电位影响很小,没有引起好氧颗粒污泥Zeta电位的明显差异,电中和在颗粒污泥形成过程中并不起重要作用.随着进水Ca2+浓度增加,颗粒污泥中的微生物数量与种类都逐渐丰富,Ca2+有助于促进污泥中微生物多样性.接种污泥及SBR中颗粒污泥的元素含量分析表明,好氧颗粒污泥Ⅰ、Ⅱ与接种污泥相比,颗粒污泥中Ca、Mg、K、Na含量均有所减少,Fe含量分别增加了4.42%、7.82%.具有良好絮凝作用的金属离子与EPS间形成的高分子生物聚合体可能是促进好氧颗粒污泥形成的主要原因.反应器运行期间,SBRⅡ对污染物的去除性能始终高于SBRⅠ,运行70d后,SBRⅠ、Ⅱ中颗粒污泥对NH4+、COD去除率较高达到90%以上,对TN、TP的去除率为65%～70%.     

选择压法培育好氧颗粒污泥的试验

以普通絮状活性污泥为接种污泥,葡萄糖为碳源,在序批式反应器中培育出好氧颗粒污泥增加COD负荷的同时,减少沉降时间以造成选择压,强化好氧颗粒污泥的形成根据污泥的形态变化,颗粒污泥的形成可分为3个阶段.反应器启动67d出现颗粒污泥COD负荷4.8kg/(m³·d)、表面气体流速0.0175m/s时,反应器中活性污泥完全颗粒化颗粒污泥粒径大多6～9mm,MLSS 7800mg/L,最小沉降速率32.7m/h.好氧颗粒污泥具有在高负荷下良好的COD去除率.对好氧颗粒污泥的基本性质及其形成的影响因素进行了初步分析.     

连续流好氧颗粒污泥系统处理低COD/N实际生活污水的工艺优化

在连续流合建式反应器中接种成熟好氧颗粒污泥处理低碳氮比(COD/N)的实际生活污水,研究了曝气量和水力停留时间(hydraulic retention time,HRT)对连续流好氧颗粒污泥系统脱氮除磷和颗粒污泥稳定性的影响.结果表明,当曝气量为300 m L·min-1(表观气速为1.2 cm·s-1)、HRT为7.5 h时,反应器对化学需氧量(chemical oxygen demand,COD)、总氮(total nitrogen,TN)和总磷(total phosphorus,TP)去除率达到最高,分别为76.34%、51.23%和53.70%.整个系统在此条件下能够稳定运行,污泥浓度(mixed liquor suspended solids,MLSS)为2 000 mg·L-1左右,污泥体积指数(sludge volume index,SVI)保持在50 m L·g-1以下,好氧颗粒污泥形态完整,沉降性能良好.低COD/N的实际生活污水促进了好氧颗粒污泥胞外多聚物(extracellular polymeric substance,EPS)的增长,蛋白质(protein,PN)和多聚糖(polysaccharide,PS)的比值高达17.9,相对于PS,PN对颗粒污泥的稳定性有更大的促进作用.     

MBR中好氧颗粒污泥的培养及其特性研究

高浓度Vc生产废水培养好氧颗粒污泥的试验研究

采用高浓度难降解的Vc生产废水可以在SBR反应器中培养出好氧颗粒污泥.转化母液反应器中污泥实现完全颗粒化,得到的好氧颗粒污泥粒径为0.2～1 mm,平均沉降速度为31.2 m·h^－１;精制或提取母液反应器中污泥部分颗粒化,得到的颗粒粒径为0.5～2.5 mm,平均沉降速度为26.3 m·h^－１.由于形成好氧颗粒污泥,反应器系统表现出良好的运行性能,在进水COD 1 000～1 500　mg·L^－１时去除率达到80%左右.如果反应器进水中补充加入一定浓度的易降解有机物,处理系统的去除效率还可进一步提高并能缩短启动时间.通过观察和比较不同进水反应器中的生物相发现,好氧颗粒污泥中出现的原后生动物种类及生物相丰富程度不仅与反应器运行状态有关,更重要的是取决于反应器中的进水水质.实验中好氧颗粒污泥的形成过程经历了污泥复活、污泥驯化和污泥颗粒化3个阶段.在运行控制过程中通过将沉降时间作为培养好氧颗粒污泥的一个关键控制参数,它既可以去除反应器中沉降性差的污泥还可以在短时间内调节反应器中的运行负荷,从而促进反应器中好氧污泥快速实现颗粒化.     

城市污水培养好氧颗粒污泥的中试研究

以城市污水为处理对象,在中试SBR反应器中接种厌氧消化污泥,经过210 d运行,培养出了平均粒径在330μm的好氧颗粒污泥.实验表明,经过前3个月较低的进水有机负荷,反应器对污染物的去除效果逐步提高并达到稳定,活性污泥中与脱氮除磷相关的微生物大量富集.运行周期缩短为6 h,污泥的沉降性能和污染物去除特性保持良好,同时污泥平均粒径开始增大.好氧颗粒污泥完全形成以后,SVI值为30 mL.g-1,污泥浓度MLSS达到8.8 g.L-1,MLVSS/MLSS增至82%,氧利用速率OUR达到5.32 mg.(min.L)-1.颗粒外层以杆状菌为主,内层主要是球菌.单个周期内颗粒污泥对COD和总磷的去除率保持在90%,氨氮几乎完全去除,出水中无硝氮和亚硝氮累积,总氮的去除率达到80%,实现了良好的同步硝化反硝化和同步脱氮除磷效果.     

分体式膜-好氧颗粒污泥反应器的运行及膜污染特性

采用分体式MSBR和人工合成配水,对处理系统在进料高负荷变化条件下的运行特性和膜污染表现特征进行了研究.结果表明,MSBR系统连续运行150 d以上,在进水COD 200~1 200 mg.L-1时,COD、TP、TN和NH4+-N的平均去除率分别为90%、80%、60%~80%和95%.MSBR中可实现污泥完全颗粒化,在70 d时350μm左右的颗粒占90%以上,之后污泥继续长大且平均粒径达394μm.MSBR形成颗粒后,膜系统的清洗周期达65 d,是絮体污泥清洗周期的3倍以上,也大大高于一般活性污泥膜反应器的清洗周期,说明好氧颗粒污泥形成有助于提高MSBR的抗冲击负荷能力及减缓膜污染发生并维持较长时间的稳定运行.     

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.     

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.
