Organic matter extracted from activated sludge with ammonium hydroxide and its characterization

In order to characterize the organic properties of waste activated sludge in a wastewater treatment plant,organic matter within sludge was extracted with NH 3 ·H 2 O preferentially,and subsequently fractionated into five fractions using XAD-8/XAD-4 resins.Up to a 63.8%-71.1% of organic matter within the sludge could be efficiently extracted by NH 3 ·H 2 O.Fractionation results showed that hydrophobic acid and hydrophilic fraction were two main components among the sludge organic matter (accounting for 32.2% and 48.0% of the bulk organic matter,respectively),whereas transphilic acid,hydrophobic neutral and transphilic neutral were quite low (accounting for 9.2%,5.8% and 4.8%,respectively).Despite that the extractant of NH 3 ·H 2 O showed a relatively higher extraction efficiency of the aromatic components,the relatively low aromaticity of the organic fractions implied that those non-aromatic components could also be effectively extracted,especially for neutral and hydrophilic fractions.In addition,acidic fractions contained more aromatic humic-like components,whereas the neutral fractions had a greater content of aromatic proteins and soluble microbial byproduct-like components.Extraction of sludge organics with NH 3 ·H 2 O and subsequential fractionation using XAD resins could be a novel method for further characterization of sludge organics.     

农业常用有机物料中水溶性有机物的理化性质特征

以水稻土水溶性有机物(DOM)为对照,采用物理化学和光谱学实验研究了农业上常用有机物料:猪粪、绿肥和污泥DOM的理化性质差异.结果表明,水稻土、污泥、猪粪和绿肥DOM含量分别为122, 23793, 12904, 380560mgC/kg.若施用等量有机物料,带入土壤的DOM量最多的应是绿肥.不同有机物料DOM中大分子组分含量高低顺序为:水稻土(51.08%)>猪粪(41.25%)>污泥(23.33%)>绿肥(7.36%);而极性组分含量的顺序则相反,水稻土(10.71%)猪粪DOM(1.12)>污泥DOM(1.11)>绿肥DOM(0.98),紫外图谱也证实了这一点.     

高锰酸钾预氧化强化混凝去除绿藻的研究

以小球藻为对象,研究不同高锰酸钾投加量下小球藻胞外有机物分子量的分布、Zeta电位和胞外有机物浓度变化,并观察细胞结构,探讨预氧化强化混凝的机理.研究发现,当高锰酸钾浓度≤2 mg·L-1时,氧化前后藻液中的有机物组成基本不变,胞外分泌物(EOM)部分被氧化;在预氧化初期,EOM在高锰酸钾诱导下释放,胞外有机物浓度升高;藻的表面电位先下降后上升,藻活性由于高锰酸钾氧化受到抑制,但藻细胞结构保持完整,氧化后生成的MnO2附着在藻细胞表面,增加了藻细胞的比重,有利于后续的混凝沉降除藻.高锰酸钾浓度≥3 mg·L-1时,细胞壁被破坏,藻液中出现大分子的有机物,胞外有机物浓度上升,Zeta电位下降,这些都不利于后续的混凝除藻.结果表明,当高锰酸钾投加量为2 mg·L-1,预氧化1h后,PAC投加量为40 mg.L-1时,除藻效率达到92％,去除效果远好于直接混凝除藻.     

Kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption of dissolved organic matter fractions from secondary effluent by fly ash

Fly ash was used as a low-cost adsorbent for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM) in secondary effluent. Batch experiments were conducted under various adsorbent dosages, pH, contact time, temperatures and DOM fractional characteristics. Under the optimum conditions of fly ash dosage of 15 g/L, temperature of 303 K and contact time of 180 min, a removal of 22.5% of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC), 23.7% of UV-254, 25.9% of the trihalomethanes precursors in secondary effluent was obtained. The adsorption of DOM fractions onto fly ash all followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model, and the hydrophilic fraction adsorption by fly ash also fitted the intraparticle diffusion model quite well. Freundlich and Langmuir models were applicable to the fly ash adsorption and their constants were evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacities of the adsorptions revealed that fly ash was more effective in adsorbing hydrophilic fraction than the acidic fractions. Structure changes of the DOM fractions after fly ash adsorption were also characterized via spectrum analyzing. Those mechanisms presented critical step toward improved efficiencies of fly ash adsorption via further surface-modification.     

Binding of pyrene to dissolved organic matters: fractionation and characterization

Based on a modified Leenheer DOM fractionation scheme, fractionation of DOM from the paddy soil was conducted by using XAD-8 resin into hydrophobic bases ( HOB), hydrophobic acids ( HOA), acid-insoluble matter ( AIM), hydrophobic neutrals ( HON ) and hydrophilic matter(HIM). In total carbon content of DOM, 35.32% were the HIM and only 0.73% the HOB. However, HOA and AIM altogether occupied 53.45%, while the HON fraction represented 10%. The sorption experiments were conducted to determine the sorption capacity of pyrene on unfractionated DOM and its fractions. Elemental analysis, ^1H-NMR and FTIR spectra were carried out on unfractionated DOM and its fractions to examine the relationship between the structure of DOM and partition coefficients( Kac ). The results showed that HON had a greater affinity for binding pyrene than other fractions. While HON was characterized by large long-chain alkylate (aliphatic structure). AIM exhibited relative higher Kac values than HOA and HIM, due to much aromatic structure in AIM, while the high content of carboxylic groups of HOA and HIM depressed their binding capacity. This study demonstrated HON is a key subcomponents of DOM in binding of pyrene, in other words, aliphalic structure in DOM play an important role in binding of pyrene.     

Effects of pre-ozonation on organic matter removal by coagulation with IPF-PACI

Ozone plays an important role as a disinfectant and oxidant in potable water treatment practice and is increasingly being used as a pre-oxidant before coagulation. The purpose of this study is to obtain insight into the mechanisms that are operative in pre-ozonized coagulation. Effects ofpre-ozonation on organic matter removal during coagulation with IPF-PAC1 were investigated by using PDA （photometric disperse analysis）, apparent molecular weight distribution and chemical fractionation. The dynamic formation of flocs during coagulation process was detected. Changes of aquatic organic matter （AOM） structure resulted from the influence of pre-ozonation were evaluated. Results show that dosage of O3 and characteristics of AOM are two of the major factors influencing the performance of O3 on coagulation. No significant coagulation-aid effect of O3 was observed for all experiments using either A1C13 or PAC1. On the contrary, with the application of pre-ozonation, the coagulation efficiency of A1C13 was significantly deteriorated, reflected by the retardation of floc formation, and the removal decreases of turbidity, DOC, and UV254. However, if PACl was used instead of AlCl3, the adverse effects of pre-ozonation were mitigated obviously, particularly when the O3 dosage was less than 0.69 （mg O3/mg TOC）. The difference between removals of UV254, and DOC indicated that pre-ozonation greatly changed the molecular structure of AOM, but its capability of mineralization was not remarkable. Only 5% or so DOC was removed by pre-ozonation at 0.6--0.8 mg/L alone. Fractionation results showed that the organic products of pre-ozonation exhibited lower molecular weight and more hydrophilicity, which impaired the removal of DOC in the following coagulation process.     

Effects of pre-ozonation on organic matter removal by coagulation with IPF-PACl

Introduction Ozonation as one of pre-oxidation techniques has complicated influences on coagulation in terms of turbidity and organic matter removals (Edwards and Benjamin, 1992a, b). Many studies have been carried out on the effects of ozone on coagulation, however there still exists some discrepancies among different researches. The mechanisms involved in the interac- tions between pre-ozonation and coagulation remain unclear. Reckhow and Singer (1984) reported that UV254, TOC, and TOX …     

Cadmium transport mediated by soil colloid and dissolved organic matter： A field study

This study investigated the potential role of soil colloids and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in transporting Cd through in situ undisturbed paddy soil monoliths. Brilliant Blue was used as a tracer to assess the e ect of preferential flow on Cd down migration. Experimental results showed that deep penetration of Cd and Brilliant Blue into the soil profile took place due to the preferential flow through macropores, mainly earthworm channels, with much of chemicals thus bypassing the soil matrix. Dye tracer and Cd distribution within the soil matrix was fairly restricted to several centimeters. Colloid restrained the migration of both dye and Cd in the matrix and preferential flow area. DOM facilitated the transport of Cd and Brilliant Blue in matrix and macropores by about 10 cm over that of the control. Pearson’s is correlation analysis revealed strong associations between Brilliant Blue concentrations, exchangeable Cd and total Cd concentrations in three studied plots indicating that they had taken the same preferential flow pathway.

Molecular characterization of effluent organic matter in secondary effluent and reclaimed water: Comparison to natural organic matter in source water

Municipal wastewater reclamation is becoming of increasing importance in the world to solve the problem of water scarcity. A better understanding of the molecular composition of effluent organic matter(Ef OM) in the treated effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs) is crucial for ensuring the safety of water reuse. In this study, the molecular composition of Ef OM in the secondary effluent of a WWTP in Beijing and the reclaimed water further treated with a coagulation–sedimentation–ozonation process were characterized using a non-target Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR MS) method and compared to that of natural organic matter(NOM) in the local source water from a reservoir. It was found that the molecular composition of Ef OM in the secondary effluent and reclaimed water was dominated by CHOS formulas, while NOM in the source water was dominated by CHO formulas. The CHO formulas of the three samples had similar origins. Anthropogenic surfactants were responsible for the CHOS formulas in Ef OM of the secondary effluent and were not well removed by the coagulation-sedimentation-ozonation treatment process adopted.     

黄河干流宁蒙段溶解性有机物组分特征及其与金属离子的相关性

溶解性有机物(dissolved organic matter,DOM)是天然水体的重要组成部分,由于化学极性及所含的官能团不同,其在水体中的化学行为也不同.本研究以黄河干流宁蒙段为研究对象,于2015年4月采集了下河沿至头道拐沿程7个断面的水样,采用XAD系列树脂将DOM分为疏水性酸(hydrophobic acid,HOA)、疏水性碱(hydrophobic base,HOB)、弱疏水性酸(weak hydrophobic acid,WHOA)和亲水性物质(hydrophilic matter,HYI)这4个组分,探讨了DOM组分含量、荧光峰值及其与Pb、Zn、Cu、Cr、As这5种金属离子之间的相关性.结果表明,黄河宁蒙段DOM总量由下河沿至头道拐沿程逐渐增加.各断面DOM腐殖化程度较低,以亲水性的蛋白质类小分子物质(HYI)为主,疏水性酸(HOA)次之,这与黄河沿岸排污导致内源作用增强有关.三维荧光光谱中类腐殖质和类蛋白质荧光峰型显著,且类腐殖质峰沿程逐渐增强,进一步证实了内源污水输入的影响.SPSS相关性分析结果表明,DOM与5种金属离子呈现出不同程度的相关性,其中与Cu离子显著相关;4种组分中HYI与Cu离子的相关性最强,说明二者在迁移转化过程中存在显著相互作用.进一步研究发现,芳香蛋白类物质荧光峰强度随Cu离子浓度的升高而降低,这可能是Cu与亲水性组分中的芳香类蛋白质发生络合产生荧光淬灭效应,从而导致荧光强度降低.     

煤矿区废水中溶解性有机质与铜的结合特性

为研究煤矿区废水排放对环境中重金属化学行为的影响,通过荧光滴定实验,利用铜离子选择电极法和荧光猝灭法定量化研究了矿井水和生活污水中溶解性有机质对铜的结合行为.结果表明,铜离子选择性电极法能精确地定量化这2类废水中有机质对铜的结合容量,其中矿井水中有机质对铜具有较大的结合容量,可以达到163.9mg/g,而生活污水中有机质对铜的结合容量相对较小,只有72.6mg/g.荧光猝灭法结果表征了这2类废水中各个组分对铜的结合特性,其中矿井水中的富里酸(A峰)对铜具有较强的结合容量,而生活污水中的类蛋白组分对铜的结合能力相对较弱.2类废水与铜结合前后的红外光谱变化结果表明矿井水中腐殖酸物质与铜的结合是一种化学反应,其中的酚羟基和羧基等官能团参与了反应,但生活污水中类蛋白物质的官能团与铜并没有发生化学结合反应.

The impact of preozonation on the coagulation of cellular organic matter produced by Microcystis aeruginosa and its toxin degradation

Ozonation pretreatment is typically implemented to improve algal cell coagulation. However, knowledge on the effect of ozonation on the characteristics and coagulation of associated algal organic matter, particularly cellular organic matter (COM), which is extensively released during algal bloom decay, is limited. Hence, this study aimed to elucidate the impact of ozonation applied before the coagulation of dissolved COM from the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa. Additionally, the degradation of microcystins (MCs) naturally present in the COM matrix was investigated. A range of ozone doses (0.1–1.0 mg O₃/mg of dissolved organic carbon – DOC) and ozonation pH values (pH 5, 7 and 9) were tested, while aluminium and ferric sulphate coagulants were used for subsequent coagulation. Despite negligible COM removal, ozonation itself eliminated MCs, and a lower ozone dose was required when performing ozonation at acidic or neutral pH (0.4 mg O₃/mg DOC at pH 5 and 7 compared to 0.8 mg O₃/mg DOC at pH 9). Enhanced MC degradation and a similar pattern of pH dependence were observed after preozonation-coagulation, whereas coagulation alone did not sufficiently remove MCs. In contrast to the benefits of MC depletion, preozonation using ≥ 0.4 mg O₃/mg DOC decreased the coagulation efficiency (from 42%/48% to 28%–38%/41%–44% using Al/Fe-based coagulants), which was more severe with increasing ozone dosage. Coagulation was also influenced by the preozonation pH, where pH 9 caused the lowest reduction in COM removal. The results indicate that ozonation efficiently removes MCs, but its employment before COM coagulation is disputable due to the deterioration of coagulation.     

冰封期前后河流底泥中溶解性有机物组分的荧光特性的变化

以沈阳市新开河为研究对象,考察了冰封期前、后河流底泥中溶解性有机物(DOM)组分荧光特性的变化.按照DOM在XAD树脂上的吸附特性将其分为5个部分:疏水性有机酸(HPO-A)、疏水性中性有机物(HPO-N)、过渡亲水性有机酸(TPI-A)、过渡亲水性中性有机物(TPI-N)和亲水性有机物(HPI).结果表明:HPO-A是河流底泥中的主要DOM组分,在冰封期前、后分别占溶解性有机碳(DOC)的41.2%~69.5%和38.9%~63.9%.冰封期前河流底泥中的DOM及HPO-A、HPI的DOC值均高于冰封期后.三维荧光光谱结果显示,冰封期前、后河流底泥DOM组分中含有类腐殖酸荧光物质,类富里酸荧光物质,类芳香族蛋白质荧光物质和类溶解性微生物代谢产物荧光物质,并且类芳香族蛋白质荧光物质在各DOM组分中的含量最高.冰封期后HPO-A、HPI中荧光物质的含量低于冰封期前.同步荧光光谱结果显示,在冰封期河流底泥DOM组分中激发波长分别为285~295 nm和330~350 nm的荧光物质向水体释放,导致其在底泥DOM组分中相对含量的显著降低.

太湖水体溶解性有机质荧光特征及其来源解析

利用三维荧光光谱(3DEEM)-平行因子分析(PARAFAC)技术,通过野外现场调查和室内模拟实验,分析富营养化湖泊(太湖)水体溶解性有机质(DOM)组成结构、分布规律及其来源,进一步研究藻类和水生植物残骸腐烂分解以及沉积物释放对水体DOM荧光组成特征的影响.结果表明:1太湖水体各个湖区DOM主要以类色氨酸物质(T1、T2峰)为主,竺山湾还存在类腐殖质和类富里酸物质,其荧光指数(f450/500)为1.53±0.06,接近陆源f450/500值(1.4),DOC浓度全湖最高((7.13±2.45)mg·L-1),兼具陆源与生物来源的双重特性.2太湖藻类DOM组成丰富,出现了7种荧光组分,主要为类腐殖质、类富里酸和类蛋白物质(包括类色氨酸和类酪氨酸),藻类腐烂分解后,紫外区类色氨酸T2峰和类酪氨酸B2峰消失,其他类蛋白物质和部分易降解的类富里酸物质向水体中释放,其中A峰和C峰所代表的类富里酸物质降解率较高,分别降解了70.3%和41.0%.3水生植物DOM以类腐殖酸物质为主,其残骸腐烂分解后DOM由陆源类腐殖质向类腐殖酸物质转化.4沉积物DOM出现了5类荧光峰,兼具外源污染的类富里酸荧光C峰和A峰,同时含有生物来源的B1、B2、T2类蛋白荧光峰,随其降解时间的增长,T2荧光峰消失,B1、B2荧光物质降解率分别高达86.5%和82.5%,而C峰和A峰分别上升25.1%和1.5%,沉积物降解过程中大量类蛋白物质向上覆水体中释放,同时部分类蛋白物质向着更稳定的类富里酸物质转化.因此,外源输入和内源负荷(藻类和水生植物残骸腐烂分解以及沉积物释放等)对湖泊水体DOM组成结构以及富营养化过程具有重要影响.
