厌氧-准好氧运行加速生物反应器填埋场垃圾稳定的研究

通过厌氧型、好氧型和准好氧型生物反应器填埋场的比较,提出了厌氧-准好氧联合运行加速生物反应器填埋场垃圾降解和稳定的填埋场运行方法,并通过模拟试验进行了研究.结果表明,按厌氧方式运行710 d的模拟垃圾柱改为按准好氧方式运行360 d后,每天回灌1次的D1柱和每周回灌2次的D4柱渗滤液COD浓度分别由705 mg/L和669 mg/L下降到135mg/L和178 mg/L,氨氮浓度由650 mg/L和877 mg/L降到不能检出水平;而继续按厌氧方式运行的垃圾柱D2和D3的渗滤液COD浓度仅分别由435mg/L和852 mg/L下降到295 mg/L和596 mg/L,氨氮浓度由654 mg/L和1 107 mg/L下降到469mg/L和783 mg/L.模拟厌氧型生物反应器填埋场垃圾柱稳定后期改为按准好氧方式运行,能加快渗滤液COD和氨氮浓度的衰减速率,而较高的渗滤液回灌频率更能强化这一优势.     

回灌型准好氧填埋场脱氮特性及加速稳定化研究

采用2个模拟填埋生物反应器,1号柱渗滤液简单回灌,2号柱为渗滤液回灌准好氧联合运行方式,研究了渗滤液回灌准好氧生物反应器填埋场的脱氮特性及加速垃圾稳定化特性。研究结果表明：渗滤液回灌准好氧填埋场具有很强的脱氮能力,2号柱由厌氧运行方式改为准好氧条件下,渗滤液中的氨氮和凯式氮浓度分别由最大值的3198mg／L和3345mg／L降低到第160d的73mg／L和81mg／L,去除率分别为97．7％和97．6％,pH快速升高到8．0左右,COD浓度快速降低。渗滤液中溶解性有机物（DOM）分级结果表明,2号柱HA和FA含量的增加明显快于1号柱。2号柱DOM的三维荧光光谱特性发生了较大变化,荧光基团从60d结构简单的类蛋白物质转变为95d结构复杂的类胡敏酸和富里酸物质,而1号柱渗滤液DOM荧光基团一直是结构简单的类蛋白物质。结果表明回灌准好氧生物反应器填埋场的稳定化速度远快于简单回灌的生物反应器填埋场。     

模拟新型联合生物反应器填埋场产气速率规律的研究

为了有效利用和管理生物反应器填埋场的填埋气体,减少其稳定过程中温室气体的排放,将厌氧型生物反应器填埋场和准好氧矿化垃圾生物反应床相结合,探索了厌氧-准好氧联合型生物反应器填埋场中厌氧生物反应器填埋场单元的产气规律。研究表明：在产酸阶段,ANBL单元的产气速率在填埋2d后快速达到峰值（1#ANBL为188L/d,2号ANBL为192L/d,3号ANBL为216L/d）,随后迅速下降,并稳定在0-12L/d之间,其变化主要受外界温度和回灌频率的影响。     

生物反应器填埋技术及其应用

本文分析了城市生活垃圾的厌氧、好氧及准好氧填埋方式的特点,介绍了当前国内外垃圾渗滤水场内循环处理的两种趋势:(1)以欧美国家为主的生物反应器填埋技术;(2)以日本为主的循环式准好氧填埋技术。根据我国城市垃圾有机物含量高的特点,提出了将准好氧填埋技术与生物反应器填埋技术特点相结合的垃圾渗滤液场内循环处理的设计思路。     

回灌频率对联合型生物反应器填埋场的影响研究

为解决厌氧型生物反应器填埋场中氨氮积累问题,加速填埋场的稳定化进程,将厌氧生物反应器填埋场和准好氧矿化垃圾反应床串联。实验设置了1个厌氧型生物反应器填埋场(ANBL1#)作为参照组,2个厌氧-准好氧联合型生物反应器填埋场(AN-SABL2#、AN-SABL 3#)作为对照组,以研究不同回灌频率下AN-SABL的稳定化规律。研究结果表明:AN-SABL2#、AN-SABL3#可缩短酸化时间,渗滤液的pH值分别在94周、98周升至大于7,而ANBL1#渗滤液的pH值直至100周仍小于7。AN-SABL系统可有效降解渗滤液COD浓度,实验进行到100周左右时,AN-SABL2#、AN-SABL3#系统中厌氧柱D2、D3柱COD浓度仅为ANBL1#系统中厌氧柱D1柱的40.63%、12.5%,而准好氧柱对渗滤液COD的去除率大部分在95%以上。AN-SABL系统能缓解厌氧型生物反应器填埋场中氨氮积累问题,这主要依靠矿化垃圾床良好的生物脱氮作用,厌氧柱D1、D2、D3中NH3-N含量总体趋势为:NH3-ND1>NH3-ND3,NH3-ND1>NH3-ND2,准好氧d2、d3柱氨氮去除率均在90%以上,且厌氧-准好氧联合型生物反应器填埋场(AN-SABL)在实验产酸阶段低回灌频率(3 d/次)对氨氮的去除有利,而后期高回灌频率(1 d/次)更有利。     

垃圾龄对填埋场好氧修复供氧和加速稳定化效果的影响

填埋场好氧处理是一种有效的填埋场修复手段。采用模拟填埋反应器,搭配水气联合控制系统,探讨不同填埋龄垃圾好氧稳定化过程最佳氧气控制范围和污染物去除情况。结果表明新鲜垃圾和填埋龄分别为1,3,7年的垃圾最佳氧浓度调控范围分别为11%~14%、8%~14%、7%~15%和6%~17%。垃圾耗氧速率随填埋龄增加而降低。经过180~220 d的好氧处理,新鲜垃圾渗滤液BOD5和COD去除率均达到92%以上;而老龄垃圾渗滤液COD降解慢。处理后期各反应器ρ(BOD_5)/ρ(COD)<0.1,垃圾基本稳定。     

渗滤液回流对准好氧填埋产气过程影响研究

依据准好氧填埋的原理,构建了大型模拟填埋场。对准好氧填埋结构渗滤液回流情况下填埋气产气过程做了跟踪监测。定期测定填埋气中的组分浓度变化,结合填埋场渗滤液水质变化进行分析。结果表明准好氧填埋条件下进行渗滤液回流有利于减轻渗滤液的排放量且不会造成NH4+-N的累积。渗滤液回流可以加快甲烷的产气速度,渗滤液回流时的甲烷浓度约为不回流时的甲烷浓度的2倍。从而可加快垃圾的稳定化进程。     

填埋垃圾和渗滤液中CH4氧化菌的丰度研究

应用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction,简称实时荧光定量PCR)技术对填埋场垃圾和渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的pmoA基因进行定量分析. 结果表明:实时荧光定量PCR技术可用于渗滤液和垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的定量分析. 对于厌氧和准好氧填埋,初期渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的数量均高于稳定期;准好氧填埋体渗滤液中CH₄氧化菌的数量均高于厌氧填埋体. 准好氧填埋垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的数量随着填埋龄的增加呈先增加后降低的趋势,并在填埋后的9个月左右达到最大值,与准好氧填埋体CH₄产生的规律相似. 同时,准好氧填埋垃圾中CH₄氧化菌的数量随着距导气管距离的增加而降低,但不同填埋时期的变幅不同,与准好氧填埋体O₂和CH₄的迁移规律有关. 此外,对渗滤液和垃圾样品的研究表明,准好氧填埋体垃圾填埋层内部存在大量的CH₄氧化菌,具有显著的CH₄氧化能力.      

生物反应器填埋场的发展及应用研究

缩短垃圾稳定化时间,并有效地收集和处理渗滤液及填埋气体,是促使传统卫生填埋法向生物反应器填埋场发展的主要因素。生物反应器填埋场通过回灌渗滤液等控制手段,改善填埋场内部微生化环境,加速填埋场稳定化进程。生物反应器填埋场的关键在于渗滤液收集系统、防渗系统、气体收集系统和渗滤液回灌系统。一些在运行的全规模生物反应器填埋场证明了这种操作方式能加快垃圾降解和填埋气体的产生,减少渗滤液处理量。然而还有一些经济和技术上的不确定性,包括持久有效性、压实度和氧化-还原环境等因素都需要进一步研究。     

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.     

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.

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.     

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.     

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.     

Sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions

The contribution of aliphatic-rich plant biopolymer to sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds is significantly important because of their preservation and accumulation in the soil environment,but sorption mechanism is still not fully understood.In this study, sorption of 1-naphthol by plant cuticular fractions was examined to better understand the contributions of respective fraction.Toward this end,cuticular materials were isolated from the fruits of tomato by chemical method.The tomato cuticle sheet consisted of waxes (6.5 wt%),cuticular monomer (69.5 wt%),and polysaccharide (24.0 wt%).Isotherms of l-naphthol to the cuticular fractions were nonlinear (N value (0.82-0.90)) at the whole tested concentration ranges.The KodKow ratios for bulk cuticle (TC1),dewaxed cuticle (TC2),cutin (TC4),and desugared cuticle (TC5) were larger than unity,suggested that tomato bulk cuticle and cutin are much powerful solption medium.Sorption capability of cutin (TC4) was 2.4 times higher than the nonsaponifiable fraction (TC3).The 1-naphthol interactions with tomato cuticular materials were governed by both hydrophobic-type interactions and polar (H-bonding) interactions. Removal of the wax and polysaccharide materials from the bulk tomato cuticle caused a significant increase in the sorption ability of the cuticular material.There was a linear negative trend between K_(oc) values and the amount of polysaccharides or fraction's polarities ((N O)/C);while a linear positive relationship between K_(oc) values and the content of cutin monomer (linear R~2=0.993) was observed for present in the cuticular fractions.Predominant sorbent of the hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in the plant cuticular fraction was the cutin monomer,contributing to 91.7% of the total sorption of tomato bulk cuticle.     

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.     

Seed selections for crystallization of calcium phosphate for phosphorus recovery

Seed induces and promotes the crystallization of calcium phosphate, and acts as carrier of the recovered phosphorus （P）. In order to select suitable seed for P recovery from wastewater, three seeds including Apatite （AP）, Juraperle （JP） and phosphate-modified Juraperle （M-JP） were tested and compared. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments of seeded crystallization of calcium phosphate were undertaken by using synthetic wastewater with 10 mg/L P phosphate. It shows that AP has bad enduring property in the crystallization process, while JP has better performance for multiple uses, and M-JP is a hopeful seed for P recovery by crystallization of calcium phosphate.
