颗粒计数法用于自来水厂运行的优化

采用生产性试验为主、室内实验为辅的方法,探讨了颗粒物计数手段用于某水厂混凝沉淀及过滤环节运行优化的可行性.室内试验结果表明,根据水厂实际情况,可以将沉后水颗粒数低于600 个/mL 作为确定混凝剂投加量的依据;原水的水质对沉后水颗粒数有显著影响.生产性试验表明,滤池的滤后水颗粒数量与浊度和滤速具有正相关性,滤速增加使滤池对粒径2~5µm 的小颗粒截留率降低.滤后水的颗粒物数量与浊度呈正相关,但显著性不突出,2 个指标联用,能够更准确地反映净水过程的水质变化,尤其适用于对水厂过滤的调控.     

微絮凝强化过滤工艺处理低温低浊水的实验研究

以北京市某水厂冬季沉后水为研究对象,分别采用常规过滤工艺和强化过滤工艺对其进行处理.通过改变聚合氯化铝(PACl)投加量、滤料粒径d和微絮凝时间,并结合水头损失、颗粒数、总有机碳(TOC)、化学需氧量(COD)等实验数据,对低温低浊水体强化过滤工艺条件进行了研究.结果表明,强化过滤工艺与常规过滤工艺相比具有较强的除浊、去除有机物和颗粒物的能力,当微絮凝时间为2min时可以得到较好的过滤效果;PACl投药量为1.5mg·L-1时,浊度可降到0.04NTU,而常规过滤工艺最多只能将浊度降到0.2NTU.在滤料选用方面,当滤料粒径d=0.6～1.2mm时滤后水中颗粒数(2～5μm)、浊度、COD等指标均达到最优值.同时,电感耦合等离子体光谱(ICP-OES)检测结果表明,滤后水中Al3+含量小于0.2mg·L-1,并未因二次投加PACl而升高,因此,不会对水的饮用产生任何健康和安全风险.     

印染废水反渗透脱盐系统运行性能及膜污堵特性

反渗透(RO)脱盐工艺对实现印染废水再生利用具有重要的意义.膜污堵却制约了RO工艺应用.对广东省某工业园区印染废水RO脱盐系统运行性能及膜污堵特性进行了研究.结果表明,印染废水生化处理出水经臭氧氧化-砂滤-超滤(UF)预处理后,RO进水COD平均浓度为12.4 mg·L~(-1),浊度1 NTU.RO系统脱盐率稳定在98%,RO产水高锰酸盐指数约为0.7 mg·L~(-1),浊度约为0.12 NTU.但RO系统运行3 a后,跨膜压差高达0.6 MPa,产水量下降至120 m~3·h~(-1),且不能通过化学清洗恢复,在RO膜面沉积了不可逆的污堵物.RO膜面的有机物占总污堵物干重的(53.5±0.2)%,无机物占(46.5±0.2)%,RO膜面有机污堵与无机污堵贡献相近.Si、Al与Ca是RO膜面主要的无机元素.碱液(Na OH溶液)对沉积在RO膜面的Si与Al及有机物提取效果较好.     

涤纶高弹丝纤维球滤料过滤特性研究

采用自主研制的涤纶高弹丝纤维球滤料对景观水进行过滤试验,研究其过滤特性及相关因素对过滤性能的影响. 结果表明,在不投加任何絮凝剂,滤速为30 m/h,平均进水浊度为87.5 NTU时,纤维球滤料过滤周期达16.5 h左右,出水浊度维持在3～5 NTU.当PAFC投加量为12 mg/L,滤速为30～50 m/h,进水浊度为50～70 NTU时,过滤出水浊度可以维持在1 NTU以下,过滤周期达6 h以上,周期截污量为30～45 kg/m3. 采用气冲－气水联合反冲－水冲的反冲洗方式,当气冲强度为25 L/(s·m2),水冲强度为8 L/(s·m2)时,纤维球滤料积泥量约占滤料质量的4.53%.      

密云水库水的预氧化研究

针对北京密云水库水的水质特征,分别进行了实验室预氧化实验和现场中试研究。室内预氧化实验结果表明,预臭氧化对水中UV254的去除率明显高于高锰酸钾和次氯酸钠,并且还能有效降低原水中的THMFP。在1.0 mg/L臭氧剂量时,嗅味物质MIB的浓度从98.0 ng/L降为73.0 ng/L,去除率为26.0%。中试试验结果表明,预臭氧化工艺与常规工艺的THMFP的去除率分别是25.6%和14.9%,预臭氧化能大幅度杀灭大肠杆菌,去除率高达94%,并能够显著降低砂滤出水颗粒数,从而减少砂滤出水微生物、病原体出现的几率,对改善水质有积极影响。     

臭氧-紫外预处理对高有机物原水混凝效果的影响

以腐殖酸为模型污染物,分别考察了臭氧氧化、紫外照射及臭氧-紫外联合预处理过程对高有机物原水混凝性能的影响.结果表明,3种预处理方式均对原水中的溶解性腐殖酸具有明显的矿化作用.紫外及臭氧-紫外联合预处理还对后续的混凝过程具有强化作用.随着臭氧投量的增加和紫外照射时间的延长,混凝过滤出水的TOC和浊度呈明显下降趋势.当臭氧浓度(O3/C)达到9.0 mg/mg时,预处理对腐殖酸的去除率可以达到47%,过滤出水TOC含量为3.5 mg/L,浊度为2.6 NTU;紫外光照射3 h可去除原水中52%的溶解性有机物,其出水TOC为2.0 mg/L,浊度低于1.0 NTU.臭氧-紫外联合预处理后的混凝效果要明显优于二者单独作用的系统.在联合预处理系统中,当预臭氧浓度(O3/C)为1.0 mg/mg紫外照射时间为1 h时,过滤出水TOC为2.6 mg/L,且浊度低于1.0 NTU.不同预处理条件下的矿化作用主要是通过.OH实现的,同时.OH还对溶解性腐殖酸的团聚结构产生破坏作用,使其稳定性降低,从而促进了混凝过程对有机物的去除.     

新型硫酸铝-壳聚糖助滤剂强化砂滤效能研究

将硫酸铝和壳聚糖复配作为微絮凝助滤剂（AS-CTS）,考察其强化过滤性能.利用分子量分级、荧光光谱等手段分析有机物的去除特性,通过Zeta电位、絮体粒径、分形维数的变化分析其强化过滤机理.结果表明：AS-CTS较AS、CTS强化过滤效果明显,在AS/CTS复配比为2：1、CTS投加量0.3mg/L,转速300r/min,搅拌时间2min的条件下,砂滤出水浊度能达到0.1NTU、颗粒物125个/mL,残余铝浓度0.02mg/L;浊度和颗粒物去除率较未加AS-CTS分别提高了58%、61.7%.AS-CTS强化过滤可有效去除分子量>30KDa的腐殖酸和1~3KDa间的色氨酸类蛋白、溶解性微生物代谢产物、类富里酸.AS-CTS主要靠高分子吸附架桥作用和界面化学作用,增加胶体颗粒在滤料表面的粘附;通过形成较大粒径和分形维数的微絮体,增强絮体向滤料表面的迁移.     

臭氧氧化对陶瓷膜超滤工艺降低饮用水中浊度的影响

利用臭氧陶瓷膜超滤集成工艺,研究了臭氧对陶瓷膜超滤工艺处理不同浊度原水的影响.实验用陶瓷膜平均孔径为100 nm.结果表明,与不投加臭氧的情况相比,投加3 mg·L-1臭氧可将浊度为14、52、108和510 NTU原水的膜通量提高18.2％～104.9％,投加5 mg·L-1臭氧可将此值提高至21.7％ ～116.3％,而投加1～2 mg·L-1臭氧对膜通量的改善不明显.投加5mg·L-1臭氧可将CODMn的去除率提高至28.7％ ～46.9％,投加1～3 mg·L-1臭氧对CODMn的去除率无显著影响,膜出水有机物浓度有所升高.臭氧氧化后原水中小分子量有机物增多,降低了膜的有机物污染程度,有利于膜通量改善.集成工艺出水中2～3 μm颗粒物数量为10 ～36个·mL-1.臭氧氧化导致陶瓷膜过滤初期出水中颗粒物数量略微升高.本研究对于水中颗粒物通过陶瓷超滤膜孔的探讨,以及改善膜对颗粒物的去除具有重要的指导意义.

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.
