Effects of temperature on bacterial transport and destruction in bioretention media: field and laboratory evaluations

Microbial activities are significantly influenced by temperature. This study investigated the effects of temperature on the capture and destruction of bacteria from urban stormwater runoff in bioretention media using 2-year field evaluations coupled with controlled laboratory column studies. Field data from two bioretention cells show that the concentration of indicator bacteria (fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli) was reduced during most storm events, and that the probability of meeting specific water quality criteria in the discharge was increased. Indicator bacteria concentration in the input flow typically increased with higher daily temperature. Although bacterial removal efficiency was independent of temperature in the field and laboratory, column tests showed that bacterial decay coefficients in conventional bioretention media (CBM) increase exponentially with elevated temperature. Increases in levels of protozoa and heterotrophic bacteria associated with increasing temperature appear to contribute to faster die-off of trapped E. coli in CBM via predation and competition.     

Production and Rheological Studies of Microalgal Extracellular Biopolymer from Lactose Using the Green Alga <Emphasis Type="Italic">Neochloris oleoabundans</Emphasis>

It was discovered that a green alga strain had the capacity of producing up to 5 g/L high viscosity biopolymers from lactose under mixotrophic cultivation conditions. The weight-average molecular weight of the polymer was determined to be around 505,000 Da. The ability of this strain to utilize lactose for biopolymer production promises the potential of valuable biopolymer production from cheese whey, a waste liquor stream of the cheese industry that contains approximately 50 g/L lactose. Using Plackett-Burnman experiment design and statistical analysis, it was determined that the major parameters affecting biopolymer production were the concentrations of sodium nitrate and lactose and temperature as well. Further studies on polymer characterization, production optimization, and applications are under way.     

集合卡曼滤波算法对FARSITE模型林火蔓延预测的修正效果研究

针对火源位置输入偏差导致的FARSITE林火行为模型火线预测不准确的问题,提出了一种基于集合卡曼滤波算法的动态修正方法。利用FARSITE对复杂工况下的林火蔓延过程进行数值模拟,以火线位置为待修正参量,以均方根误差(RMSE)为评价指标,对算法的可行性进行了验证,并研究了算法的集合元素个数,观测数据标准差及同化频率对FARSITE预测偏差的修正效果的影响。结果表明:算法能显著提高FARSITE火线预测精度;逐时同化时:集合元素个数为5时,算法的修正效果并不理想,随着集合元素个数增大,样本误差减小,修正效果得到改善,但增大到30以上时,修正能力的提升就不再明显;观测数据标准差大小与RMSE值呈正相关;给定条件下当同化频率由1 h/次降低至2 h/次,整个模拟时长内的误差仍能得到较好控制,RMSE曲线并不会过快增长。

壬基酚对一株铜绿假单胞菌吸附镉的影响

考察壬基酚（NP）对一株从重金属污染场地筛选出的铜绿假单胞菌X吸附镉（Cd）的影响,在NP浓度分别为0、1.0、10.0mg/L条件下,通过优化吸附条件,研究X菌的Cd²⁺吸附效果.结果表明,NP与Cd²⁺共存时,在Cd²⁺初始浓度为1.0mg/L的溶液中,菌体的最佳投菌量和pH值为1.0g/L和7.0,吸附2h,吸附率可达90.0%左右.失活菌与活菌的吸附结果表明失活菌的吸附能力较活菌强.NP浓度对吸附的影响结果表明,低浓度NP对菌株吸附Cd²⁺的抑制作用较小,高浓度NP时抑制作用较大.通过分析X菌处理单一Cd²⁺及Cd²⁺-NP复合污染后的红外光谱图可知,菌体表面的羟基O-H键、酰胺C-N键和N-H键和氨基均参与吸附反应,并且高浓度NP对菌体表面基团活性影响较大,从而影响其对Cd²⁺的吸附.     

Comparison between linear and non-linear forms of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetic models for the removal of methylene blue by activated carbon

The best-fit equations of linear and non-linear forms of the two widely used kinetic models, namely pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations, were compared in this study. The experimental kinetics of methylene blue adsorption on activated carbon was used for this research. Both the correlation coefficient (R ²) and the normalized standard deviation Δq(%) were employed as error analysis methods to determine the best-fitting equations. The results show that the non-linear forms of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were more suitable than the linear forms for fitting the experimental data. The experimental kinetics may have been distorted by linearization of the linear kinetic equations, and thus, the non-linear forms of kinetic equations should be primarily used to obtain the adsorption parameters. In addition, the Δq(%) method for error analysis may be better to determine the best-fitting model in this case.
