Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification by Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 in a high nitrogen environment

Pseudomonas sp. Y-5, a strain with simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) capacity, was isolated from the Wuhan Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant. This strain could rapidly remove high concentrations of inorganic nitrogen. Specifically, Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 removed 103 mg/L of NH₄⁺-N in 24 h without nitrate or nitrite accumulation when NH₄⁺-N was its sole nitrogen source. The NH₄⁺-N removal efficiency (RE) was 97.26%, and the average removal rate (RR) was 4.30 mg/L/h. Strain Y-5 also removed NO₃^?-N and NO₂^?-N even in aerobic conditions, with average RRs of 4.39 and 4.23 mg/L/h, respectively, and REs of up to 99.34% and 95.81% within 24 h. When cultured in SND medium (SNDM-1), strain Y-5 achieved an NH₄⁺-N RE of up to 97.80% and a total nitrogen (TN) RE of 93.01%, whereas NO₃^?-N was fully depleted in 48 h. Interestingly, high nitrite concentrations did not inhibit the nitrification capacity of Y-5 when grown in SNDM-2, the RE of NH₄⁺-N and TN reached 96.29% and 94.26%, respectively, and nitrite was consumed completely. Strain Y-5 also adapted well to high concentrations of ammonia (~401.68 mg NH₄⁺-N/L) or organic nitrogen (~315.12 mg TN/L). Our results suggested that Pseudomonas sp. Y-5 achieved efficient simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, thus demonstrating its potential applicability in the treatment of nitrogen-polluted wastewater.

Influence of detergent formulation on nutrient movement through sand columns simulating mound and conventional septic system drainfields

The effects of phosphate (P) and zeolite (Z) -built detergents on leaching of N and P through sand columns simulating septic system drainfields were examined in laboratory columns. To simulate mound septic system drainfields, paired sets of columns were dosed intermittently with septic tank effluent from households using P- or Z-built detergent. Two other paired sets of columns were flooded with P- or Z-effluent to simulate new conventional septic system drainfields; after clogging mats or “crusts” developed at infiltration surface, the subsurfaces of the columns were aerated to simulate mature (crusted) conventional septic system drainfields. NO₃ loading in leachate was 1.1 times higher and ortho-P loading was 4.3 times lower when columns were dosed with Z- than with P-effluent. Dosed columns removed P poorly; total phosphorus (TP) loading in leachate was 81 and 19 g m⁻² yr⁻¹ with P- and Z-effluent, respectively. In flooded columns 1.3, 2.0 and 1.8 times more NH₄, organic nitrogen (ON) and total nitrogen (TN) respectively, were leached with Z- than with P-effluent; NO₃ leaching was similar. Flooded columns removed P efficiently; TP leached through flooded systems was 2.5 and 1.4 g m⁻² yr⁻¹ with P- and Z effluent, respectively. Crusted columns fed Z-effluent leached 1.2, 2.6, 1.4 and 2.1 times more NH₄, NO₃, ON and TN, respectively, than those with P-effluent but 1.8 times less TP. Crusted columns removed P satisfactorily: 8.2 and 4.6 g m⁻² yr⁻¹ TP with P- and Z-effluent, respectively. The P-built detergent substantially improves the efficiency of N removal with satisfactory P removal in columns simulating conventional septic system drainfield. Simultaneous removal of N and P under flooded conditions might be explained by precipitation of struvite-type minerals. Dosed system drainfields were less efficient in removing N and P compared to flooded and crusted system drainfelds.     

Determination of Atmospheric Nitrogen Input to Lake Greenwood,South Carolina: Part 2—Gaseous Measurements and Modeling

Abstract

The Reedy River branch of Lake Greenwood, SC, has repeatedly experienced summertime algal blooms, upsetting the natural system. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate atmospheric nitrogen (N) input into the lake. N was examined because of the insignificant phosphorus dry atmospheric flux and the unique nutrient demands of the dominant algae (Pithophora oedogonia) contributing to the blooms. Episodic atmospheric measurements during January and March 2001 have shown that the dry N flux onto the lake ranged from 0.9 to 17.4 kg N/ha-yr, and on average is caused by nitric acid (HNO₃; 31%), followed by nitrogen dioxide (NO₂; 23%), fine ammonium (NH₄ ⁺; 20%), coarse nitrate (NO₃ ^?; 16%), fine NO₃ ⁺ (5%), and coarse NH₄ ⁺ (5%). Similar measurements in Greenville, SC (the upper watershed of the Reedy River), showed that the dry N deposition flux there ranged from 1.4 to 9.7 kg N/ha-yr and was mostly caused by gaseous deposition (40% NO₂ and 40% HNO₃). The magnitude of this dry N deposition flux is comparable to wet N flux as well as other point sources in the area. Thermodynamic modeling showed low concentrations of ammonia, relative to the particulate NH₄ ⁺ concentrations.     

Ammonium,Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen and Nitrate Reductase Enzyme Activity in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Fields After Diazinon,Imidacloprid and Lindane Treatments

Impacts of diazinon (O,O-diethyl O-2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl phosphorothioate), imidacloprid [1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-ylideneamine] and lindane (1,2,3,4,5.6-hexachlorocyclohexane) treatments on ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite nitrogen and nitrate reductase enzyme activities were determined in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) field for three consecutive years (1997 to 1999). Diazinon was applied for both seed- and soil-treatments but imidacloprid and lindane were used for seed treatments only at recommended rates. Diazinon residues persisted for 60 days in both the cases. Average half-lives (t_1/2) of diazinon were found 29.3 and 34.8 days respectively in seed and soil treatments. In diazinon seed treatment, NH₄ ⁺, NO₃ ^?, and NO₂ ^? nitrogen and nitrate reductase activity were not affected. Whereas, diazinon soil treatment indicated significant increase in NH₄ ⁺-N in a 1-day sample, which continued until 90 days. Some declines in NO₃ ^?N were found from 15 to 60 days. Along with this decline, significant increases in NO₂ ^?N and nitrate reductase activity were found between 1 and 30 days. Imidacloprid and lindane persisted for 90 and 120 days with average half-lives (t_1/2) of 40.9 and 53.3 days, respectively. Within 90 days, imidacloprid residues lost by 73.17% to 82.49% while such losses for lindane residues were found 78.19% to 79.86 % within 120 days. In imidacloprid seed-treated field, stimulation of NO₃ ^?N and the decline in NH₄ ⁺NO₂ ^?-N and nitrate reductase enzyme activity were observed between 15 to 90 days. However, lindane seed treatment indicated significant increases in NH₄ ⁺-N, NO₂ ^?-N and nitrate reductase activity and some adverse effects on NO₃ ^?N between 15 and 90 days.     

Size partitioning of particulate inorganic nitrogen species between the fine and coarse mode ranges and its implication to their deposition on the surface ocean

In order to discuss the dry deposition fluxes of atmospheric fixed nitrogen species, observations of aerosol chemistry including nitrate (NO₃^?) and ammonium (NH₄⁺) were conducted at two islands, Rishiri Island and Sado Island, over the Sea of Japan. Although the atmospheric concentrations of particulate NH₄⁺–N showed higher values than those of particulate NO₃^?–N at both sites, the dry deposition fluxes of the particulate NO₃^?–N were estimated to be higher than those of the particulate NH₄⁺–N. This was caused by the difference of particle sizes between the particulate NO₃^? and NH₄⁺; NH₄⁺ was almost totally contained in fine particles (d < 2.5 μm) with smaller deposition velocity, whereas NO₃^? was mainly contained in coarse particles (d > 2.5 μm) with greater deposition velocity. Fine mode NO₃^? was strongly associated with fine mode sea-salt and mineral particles, of which higher concentrations shifted the size of particulate NO₃^? toward the fine mode range. This size shift would decrease the dry deposition flux of the fixed nitrogen species on coastal waters and accelerate atmospheric transport of them to the remote oceanic areas.     

Elevated nitrogen isotope ratios of tropical Indian aerosols from Chennai: Implication for the origins of aerosol nitrogen in South and Southeast Asia

To better understand the origins of aerosol nitrogen, we measured concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and its isotope ratios (δ¹⁵N) in tropical Indian aerosols (PM₁₀) collected from Chennai (13.04°N; 80.17°E) on day- and night-time basis in winter and summer 2007. We found high δ¹⁵N values (+15.7 to +31.2‰) of aerosol N (0.3–3.8 μg m^?3), in which NH₄⁺ is the major species (78%) with lesser contribution from NO₃^? (6%). Based on the comparison of δ¹⁵N in Chennai aerosols with those reported for atmospheric aerosols from mid-latitudes and for the particles emitted from point sources (including a laboratory study), as well as the δ¹⁵N ratios of cow-dung samples (this study), we found that the atmospheric aerosol N in Chennai has two major sources; animal excreta and bio-fuel/biomass burning from South and Southeast Asia. We demonstrate that a gas-to-particle conversion of NH₃ to NH₄HSO₄ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ and the subsequent exchange reaction between NH₃ and NH₄⁺ are responsible for the isotopic enrichment of ¹⁵N in aerosol nitrogen.     

改进型波形潜流人工湿地处理猪场废水

提出了一种改进型波形潜流人工湿地(improved wavy subsurface flow constructed wetland,IW-SFCW)并研究了该湿地系统在5个水力停留时间(hydraulic retention time,HRT)(2、3、4、6和8 d)下对猪场废水的处理效果。结果表明,该湿地系统对猪场废水中各污染物有较好的去除效果。在水力停留时间为4 d,进水COD、TN、NH4+-N和TP浓度分别为511、120、110和10 mg/L左右时,该湿地系统对COD、TN、NH4+-N和TP的去除率分别为86.0%、54.4%、70.1%和91.6%。此外,该湿地系统对废水中COD、TP的去除效率随水力停留时间的延长逐渐提高,在HRT=8 d时去除效果最好,去除率分别达到92.7%和96.8%;但对TN、NH4+-N的去除率却随水力停留时间的延长出现先上升后下降的趋势,在HRT=4 d时去除率最高,分别为54.4%和70.1%。     

利用悬浮填料附着生物膜同步去除碳氮磷

采用移动床生物膜反应器（MBBR）处理配制模拟废水,实验结果表明,水力停留时间为6h、悬浮填料填充率为40％时,在不同C／N／P比率条件下,MBBR对COD、NH4＋-N和TN去除性能好且稳定,平均去除率分别达到90％、94．8％和62．39％以上,而TP的去除率受C／N／P值影响较大,当C／N／P的比值为100／10／1．8时,平均去除率达到58．03％。一定的溶解氧（DO）质量浓度能保证反应器中COD、NH4-N高效稳定的去除,同时是TN和TP同时去除的重要影响因素,在MBBR中最佳DO值约为3mg／L。由于附着在悬浮填料生物膜内部存在厌氧、缺氧微环境条件,在反应器中存在少量的反硝化聚磷菌。

Nitrate facilitates cadmium uptake, transport and accumulation in the hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola

The aims of this study are to investigate whether and how the nitrogen form (nitrate (NO₃ ^–) versus ammonium (NH₄ ⁺)) influences cadmium (Cd) uptake and translocation and subsequent Cd phytoextraction by the hyperaccumulator species Sedum plumbizincicola. Plants were grown hydroponically with N supplied as either NO₃ ^– or NH₄ ⁺. Short-term (36 h) Cd uptake and translocation were determined innovatively and quantitatively using a positron-emitting ¹⁰⁷Cd tracer and positron-emitting tracer imaging system. The results show that the rates of Cd uptake by roots and transport to the shoots in the NO₃ ^– treatment were more rapid than in the NH₄ ⁺ treatment. After uptake for 36 h, 5.6 (0.056 μM) and 29.0 % (0.290 μM) of total Cd in the solution was non-absorbable in the NO₃ ^– and NH₄ ⁺ treatments, respectively. The local velocity of Cd transport was approximately 1.5-fold higher in roots (3.30 cm h^?1) and 3.7-fold higher in shoots (10.10 cm h^?1) of NO₃ ^–- than NH₄ ⁺-fed plants. Autoradiographic analysis of ¹⁰⁹Cd reveals that NO₃ ^– nutrition enhanced Cd transportation from the main stem to branches and young leaves. Moreover, NO₃ ^– treatment increased Cd, Ca and K concentrations but inhibited Fe and P in the xylem sap. In a 21-day hydroponic culture, shoot biomass and Cd concentration were 1.51 and 2.63 times higher in NO₃ ^–- than in NH₄ ⁺-fed plants. We conclude that compared with NH₄ ⁺, NO₃ ^– promoted the major steps in the transport route followed by Cd from solution to shoots in S. plumbizincicola, namely its uptake by roots, xylem loading, root-to-shoot translocation in the xylem and uploading to the leaves. S. plumbizincicola prefers NO₃ ^– nutrition to NH₄ ⁺ for Cd phytoextraction.     

Start-up of sequencing batch reactor with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thiosphaera pantotropha</Emphasis> for treatment of high-strength nitrogenous wastewater and sludge characterization

Biological treatment of high-strength nitrogenous wastewater is challenging due to low growth rate of autotrophic nitrifiers. This study reports bioaugmentation of Thiosphaera pantotropha capable of simultaneously performing heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification (SND) in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). SBRs fed with 1:1 organic-nitrogen (N) and NH₄ ⁺-N were started up with activated sludge and T. pantotropha by gradual increase in N concentration. Sludge bulking problems initially observed could be overcome through improved aeration and mixing and change in carbon source. N removal decreased with increase in initial nitrogen concentration, and only 50–60 % removal could be achieved at the highest N concentration of 1000 mg L^?1 at 12-h cycle time. SND accounted for 28 % nitrogen loss. Reducing the settling time to 5–10 min and addition of divalent metal ions gradually improved the settling characteristics of sludge. Sludge aggregates of 0.05–0.2 mm diameter, much smaller than typical aerobic granules, were formed and progressive increase in settling velocity, specific gravity, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, protein, and polysaccharides was observed over time. Granulation facilitated total nitrogen (TN) removal at a constant rate over the entire 12-h cycle and thus increased TN removal up to 70 %. Concentrations of NO₂ ^?-N and NO₃ ^?-N were consistently low indicating effective denitrification. Nitrogen removal was possibly limited by urea hydrolysis/nitrification. Presence of T. pantotropha in the SBRs was confirmed through biochemical tests and 16S rDNA analysis.     

Organic carbon,total nitrogen,and water-soluble ions in clouds from a tropical montane cloud forest in Puerto Rico

Chemical characterization to determine the organic and nitrogen fractions was performed on cloud water samples collected in a mountaintop site in Puerto Rico. Cloud water samples showed average concentrations of 1.09 mg L^?1 of total organic carbon (TOC), of 0.85 mg L^?1 for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and of and 1.25 mg L^?1 for total nitrogen (TN). Concentrations of organic nitrogen (ON) changed with the origin of the air mass. Changes in their concentrations were observed during periods under the influence of African dust (AD). The ON/TN ratios were 0.26 for the clean and 0.35 for the AD periods. Average concentrations of all these species were similar to those found in remote environments with no anthropogenic contribution. In the AD period, for cloud water the concentrations of TOC were 4 times higher and TN were 3 times higher than during periods of clean air masses associated with the trade winds. These results suggest that a significant fraction of TOC and TN in cloud and rainwater is associated to airborne particulate matter present in dust. Functional groups were identified using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy. This characterization led to the conclusion that water-soluble organic compounds in these samples are mainly aliphatic oxygenated compounds, with a small amount of aromatics. The ion chromatography results showed that the ionic species were predominantly of marine origin, for air masses with and without African dust influence, with cloud water concentrations of NO₃^? and NH₄⁺ much lower than from polluted areas in the US. An increase of such species as SO₄^2?, Cl^?, Mg²⁺, K⁺ and Ca²⁺ was seen when air masses originated from northwest Africa. The changes in the chemical composition and physical properties of clouds associated with these different types of aerosol particles could affect on cloud formation and processes.     

NH4+, NO3−, and SO42− in roadside and rural size-resolved particles and transformation of NO2/SO2 to nanoparticle-bound NO3−/SO42−

This study investigates ammonium, nitrate, and sulfate (NH₄⁺, NO₃^?, and SO₄^2?) in size-resolved particles (particularly nano (PM_0.01–0.056)/ultrafine (PM_0.01–0.1)) and NO_x/SO₂ collected near a busy road and at a rural site. The average (mass) cumulative fraction of secondary inorganic aerosols (SO₄^2?+NO₃^?+NH₄⁺) in nano or ultrafine particles at the roadside was found to be three to four times that at the rural site. The above three secondary inorganic aerosol species were present in similar cumulative fractions in particles of size 1–18 μm at both sites; however, dissimilar fractions were observed for Cl^?, Na⁺, and K⁺. The nitrogen ratios (NRs: NR = NO₃^??N/(NO₃^??N + NO₂–N)), sulfur ratios (SRs: SR = SO₄^2??S/(SO₄^2??S + SO₂–S)), dNR/D_P (derivative of NR with respect to D_P (particle diameter)), and dSR/D_P (derivative of SR with respect to D_P) at the roadside were higher than those at the rural site for nano/ultrafine particles. At both sites (particularly the roadside), the nanoparticles had significantly higher dNR/D_P and dSR/D_P values than differently sized particles, implying that NO₃^?/SO₄^2? (from NO₂/SO₂ transformation or NO₃^?/SO₄^2? deposition) were present on these particles.     

Deposition processes of ionic constituents to snow cover

Atmospheric deposition is an important removal process of aerosol particles and gases from the atmosphere. To elucidate the relative contributions of wet and dry processes and in-cloud and below-cloud scavenging based on deposition amounts in winter at Mt. Tateyama, central Japan, we obtained daily samples (December, 2006–March, 2007) of size-segregated aerosol particles and precipitation at Senjyugahara (SJ; 475 m a.s.l.) and vertical samples of spring snow cover at Murododaira (MR, 2450 m a.s.l., 13 km distance from SJ) on the western flank of Mt. Tateyama. The NH₄⁺ and nssSO₄^2? in aerosols were mostly found in the fine fraction (<2 μm), although Na⁺, NO₃^?, and nssCa²⁺ were mainly detected in the coarse fraction (>2 μm). Average ionic concentrations (μg g^?1) in precipitation at SJ were higher about 3.8 for Na⁺ and nssCa²⁺, 3.4 for NO₃^?, 3.7 for NH₄⁺, 2.5 for nssSO₄^2? than those at MR, whereas cumulative precipitation amounts at SJ and MR were, respectively, 84 and 175 cm of water equivalent. Wet and dry deposition amounts during the study period were estimated for sites using size-segregated aerosol data, winter averages of HNO₃, NH₃, and SO₂ concentrations, and dry deposition velocities. Particle-dry deposition comprised about 3% (Na⁺) to 11% (NH₄⁺) of the total deposition at MR. The maximum amounts of gas dry deposition were estimated, respectively, as 4, 13, and 3% of the total deposition at MR for NH₄⁺, NO₃^?, and nssSO₄^2?. The relative contributions of below-cloud scavenging (BCS) between MR and SJ were estimated as considering the wet only deposition amount at MR. Higher contributions of BCS were obtained for Na⁺ (56%) and nssCa²⁺ (45%), whereas BCSs for NH₄⁺, NO₃^?, and nssSO₄^2? were lower than 28%. Ionic constituents existing predominantly in the coarse fraction showed a large contribution of BCS.

Deposition of sulphur,nitrogen and acidity in precipitation over Ireland: chemistry,spatial distribution and long-term trends

The chemical composition of pollutant species in precipitation sampled daily or weekly at 10 sites in Ireland for the five-year period, 1994–1998, is presented. Sea salts accounted for 81% of the total ionic concentration. Approximately 50% of the SO₄²⁻ in precipitation was from sea-salt sources. The proportion of sea salts in precipitation decreased sharply eastwards. In contrast, the concentration of NO₃⁻ and the proportion of non-sea-salt SO₄²⁻ increased eastwards reflecting the closer proximity to major emission sources. The mean (mol_c) ratio of SO₄²⁻:NO₃⁻ was 1.6 for all sites, indicating that SO₄²⁻ was the major acid anion.The spatial correlation between SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻ and NH₄⁺ concentrations in precipitation was statistically significant. The regional trend in NO₃⁻ concentration was best described by linear regression against easting. SO₄²⁻ concentration followed a similar pattern. However, the regression was improved by inclusion of elevation. Inclusion of northing in the regression did not significantly improve any of the relationships except for NH₄⁺, indicating a significant increase in concentrations from northwest to southeast.The spatial distribution of deposition fluxes showed similar gradients increasing from west and southwest to east and northeast. However, the pattern of deposition shows the influence of precipitation volume in determining the overall input. Mean depositions of sulphur and nitrogen in precipitation were ≈30 ktonnes S yr⁻¹ and 48 ktonnes N yr⁻¹ over the five-year period, 1994–1998, for Ireland.Least-squares linear regression analysis indicated a slight decreasing trend in precipitation concentrations for SO₄²⁻ (20%), NO₃⁻ (13%) and H⁺ (24%) and a slight increasing trend for NH₄⁺ (15%), over the period 1991–1998.     

不同回流比对无植物垂直流人工湿地除氮效果的影响

通过内碳源前置反硝化脱氮工艺试验,比较了不同回流比对垂直流人工湿地除氮效果的影响。试验结果表明,TN去除率随着回流比增加而增加,NH⁺₄-N去除率则随着回流比的增加先降低后增加的趋势,两者去除率之和以回流比200％为最高,以回流比150％次之,以回流比100％为最低。从TN的去除率来看,回流比150％略高于回流比200％。     

容积负荷对ANAMMOX生物滤池脱氮效能的影响及其基质动力学

采用2套启动成功的上向流厌氧氨氧化（ANAMMOX）生物滤柱,通过调节进水NaNO₂和（NH₄）₂SO₄ 的浓度负荷及水力负荷,改变进水容积负荷,探讨容积负荷对ANAMMOX生物滤柱脱氮效能的影响及其动力学模型。结果表明,滤速恒定条件下,通过提高进水基质浓度来提高进水TN容积负荷,其容积负荷去除动力学过程符合Monod-Haldane基质抑制模型。进水NH₄⁺-N与NO₂^--N浓度分别低于100 mg/L和133 mg/L时,反应器脱氮效果不受明显影响,TN容积去除负荷可达4.21 kg/（m³·d）,TN去除率可达80%以上。进水基质浓度恒定条件下,通过提高滤速来提高进水TN容积负荷,其容积负荷去除动力学过程符合零级动力学方程。不受基质浓度抑制的条件下,滤速为3.0 m/h、进水容积负荷为8.82 kg/（m³·d）时,反应器总氮容积负荷去除量可达7.15 kg/（m³·d）,总氮去除率可达81.1%。
