Characteristics of atmospheric particles and heavy metals in winter in Chang-Zhu-Tan city clusters, China

To understand the pollution characteristics of atmospheric particles and heavy metals in winter in Chang-Zhu-Tan city clusters, China, total suspended particulate(TSP) and PM10samples were collected in cities of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan from December 2011 to January 2012, and heavy metals of Cd, Pb, Cr, and As were analyzed. It shows that the average TSP concentration in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan were(183 ± 73),(201 ± 84) and(190 ± 66) μg/m3respectively, and the average PM10 were(171 ± 82),(178 ± 65) and(179 ± 55) μg/m3respectively. The lowest TSP and PM10concentrations occurred at the background Shaping site of Changsha. The average ratio of ρ(PM10)/ρ(TSP) was 91.9%, ranging from 81.3% to 98.9%. Concerning heavy metals, in TSP samples, the concentration of Cr, As, Cd and Pb were 28.8–56.5, 18.1–76.3, 3.9–26.1 and 148.0–460.9 ng/m3, respectively, while in PM10samples, were 16.4–42.1, 15.5–67.9, 3.3–22.2 and 127.9–389.3 ng/m3, respectively. The enrichment factor of Cd was the highest, followed by Pb and As, while that of Cr was the lowest.     

Community structure and elevational diversity patterns of soil Acidobacteria

Acidobacteria is one of the most dominant and abundant phyla in soil,and was believed to have a wide range of metabolic and genetic functions. Relatively little is known about its community structure and elevational diversity patterns. We selected four elevation gradients from 1000 to 2800 m with typical vegetation types of the northern slope of Shennongjia Mountain in central China. The vegetation types were evergreen broadleaved forest,deciduous broadleaved forest,coniferous forest and sub-alpine shrubs. We analyzed the soil acidobacterial community composition,elevational patterns and the relationship between Acidobacteria subdivisions and soil enzyme activities by using the 16 S rRNA meta-sequencing technique and multivariate statistical analysis. The result found that 19 known subdivisions as well as an unclassified phylotype were presented in these forest sites,and Subdivision 6 has the highest number of detectable operational taxonomic units(OTUs). A significant single peak distribution pattern(P 0.05) between the OTU number and the elevation was observed. The Jaccard and Bray–Curtis index analysis showed that the soil Acidobacteria compositional similarity significantly decreased(P 0.01) with the increase in elevation distance. Mantel test analysis showed the most of the soil Acidobacteria subdivisions had the significant relationship(P 0.01) with different soil enzymes. Therefore,soil Acidobacteria may be involved in different ecosystem functions in global elemental cycles. Partial Mantel tests and CCA analysis showed that soil pH,soil temperature and plant diversity may be the key factors in shaping the soil Acidobacterial community structure.     

Phytoremediation of levonorgestrel in aquatic environment by hydrophytes

Adsorption and degradation of levonorgestrel （LNG） by two hydrophytes, Cyperus alternfolius （CA） and Eichhornia crassipes （EC）, were investigated under light-shielding conditions in the water column. Variations of LNG concentrations in water, plant root epidermis, root, stem and leaf of the plants were analyzed. The results indicated that the removal efficiency of LNG by hydrophytes over the period of 50 days was significantly greater than the blank control （p 〈 0.05）, with the removal rates of 79.80%± 3.10% and 78.86% ± 2.55% for CA and EC, respectively. Compared with bio-adsorption, bio-conversion of LNG was found to be the dominant elimination pathway, evidenced by relatively high conversion rates （77.31% ±2.68% for CA and 77.82% ± 2.95% for EC）, while the adsorption rates were lower （1.77% ± 0.90% for CA and 1.05% ± 0.40% for EC）. The bio-adsorption and conversion of LNG showed no significant differences between the two hydrophytes. Additionally, the mineralization on root epidermis played an important role in the reduction of LNG in water.

基于沼液的培养基及产油小球藻藻种选育

将产油小球藻培养与沼液污水处理结合,为小球藻生长提供营养和水源,同时实现了沼液污水的无害化处理.本研究利用4种产油小球藻,在沼液污水与绿藻培养基体积比为1∶9、1∶3、1∶1、3∶1形成的培养基中培养,以产油率为指标,选育出获得最高产油率时的沼液污水-绿藻培养基配比和小球藻藻种.结果表明,产油率最高的培养基体积比为1∶3,小球藻藻种为BJ05,该工况下产油率达到9.20 mg·(L·d)-1,高于纯绿藻培养基中的8.66 mg·(L·d)-1.在1/4污水比例培养基基础上,考查添加绿藻培养基中不同营养组分对BJ05产油率的影响,结果发现,在同时不添加碳酸钠和柠檬酸的情况下,BJ05的产油率为9.36 mg·(L·d)-1,COD、TN(总氮)、TP(总磷)、NH+4-N去除率分别达到59%、75%、61%、100%.而其他营养成分缺失则显著降低了BJ05的生物量,进而降低了产油率,所以进一步优化培养基为绿藻培养基中不添加碳酸钠和柠檬酸的体积比为1∶3的沼液污水-绿藻培养基.     

SFBR中好氧颗粒污泥的培养及特性研究

接种自行培养的活性污泥,以模拟废水为基质,采用连续进水、间歇出水及厌氧/好氧交替的运行模式,尝试了在SFBR中进行好氧颗粒污泥的培养,并研究了好氧颗粒污泥的特性及反应器对污染物的去除效果.结果表明,通过逐步缩短沉降时间,28 d时成功培养出好氧颗粒污泥,所形成的好氧颗粒污泥呈黄色、形状不规则,且粒径较小(平均粒径0.56 mm),正常情况下的SVI保持在70 mL·g-1以下,EPS在59 d时达到最大值(以MLVSS计)373.24 mg·g-1,较培养初期增加了约2.5倍,运行后期由于颗粒出现解体,导致EPS急剧下降;反应器在运行过程中未能保持较高的污泥量,中后期MLSS始终在3 000mg·L-1以下;在63 d的运行时间里,除异常波动外,反应器对COD的去除率基本维持在90%左右,正常情况下出水COD小于100 mg·L-1,反应器对NH+4-N、TIN的去除效果波动较大,去除率分别为44.45%~94.72%及43.87%~93.13%,反应器对TP的去除率在44.50%~97.40%之间,正常情况下TP去除率可维持在60%以上;限于自动控制水平,夜间长时间的好氧饥饿期容易造成丝状菌过度生长,使得AGS在生长竞争中处于劣势,最终导致了AGS的解体.     

3种氯酚对噬热四膜虫的毒性效应

以原生动物噬热四膜虫作为受试生物,研究了3种氯酚的急性毒性和遗传毒性及环境因子对污染物的生物效应,探讨了水体硬度对3种氯酚生物毒性的影响.结果表明,3种氯酚毒性大小依次为五氯酚(PCP)>2,4,6-三氯酚(2,4,6-TCP)>2,4-二氯酚(2,4-DCP),表明随着氯原子数目的增加,生物毒性增强.硬度实验结果显示随水体硬度升高,3种氯酚对四膜虫的急性毒性先降低后增加,但不同的水体硬度下2,4-DCP对四膜虫的24、48、72和96 h EC50值分别为3.69、3.54、3.02和2.34 mg·L-1;2,4,6-TCP分别为3.23、2.83、2.56和1.97 mg·L-1;PCP分别为0.63、0.45、0.34和0.28 mg·L-1,3种氯酚的EC50值分别在同一数量级上,表明对四膜虫的毒性影响不大.采用单细胞凝胶电泳技术(SCEG)研究了3种氯酚对四膜虫核DNA的损伤作用,结果显示氯酚类化合物具有细胞毒性,彗星实验可以较好地指示氯酚类化合物的遗传毒性.     

变温环境对典型石灰土有机碳矿化的影响

采用野外采样和室内培养试验,研究了不同土地利用类型(林地和旱地)下的石灰土表层土壤有机碳(SOC)矿化对变温环境的响应.两种供试土样分别采自贵州省普定县天龙山区域的典型林地和旱地的0~10 cm表层.在培养试验中,依据积温相同的原则,设置变温(范围:15~25℃,变温间隔12 h)和恒温(20℃)两个温度处理,培养时间为56 d.在整个培养期内,旱地石灰土变温处理的SOC累积矿化量(63.32 mg·kg-1)虽略低于恒温处理(63.96 mg·kg-1),但两者之间差异不显著,而森林石灰土变温处理的SOC累积矿化量(169.46 mg·kg-1)则显著低于恒温处理(209.52 mg·kg-1)(P<0.05),这表明不同土地利用类型的石灰土SOC矿化对变温环境的响应不同.受植被和土地利用类型的影响,森林石灰土和旱地石灰土表层的SOC含量和组成差异显著,这可能是导致其SOC矿化对变温环境响应差异的重要原因.另外,各温度处理中,土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)含量与SOC日均矿化量之间均呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),表明制约土壤DOC生成是温度影响土壤有机碳矿化的一个重要途径.在培养过程中,土壤微生物量碳含量不能有效反映恒温和变温下的SOC矿化差异,结合矿化动力学分析可知,同恒温相比,变温虽然不能通过改变微生物数量来影响SOC矿化,但能通过改变微生物群落的总体活性来影响SOC矿化过程.     

紫外辐射对小分子有机酸化学凝聚性作用途径探讨

通过烧杯实验系统考察了紫外辐射对脂肪羧酸类和酚酸类小分子有机酸的化学凝聚性的作用途径.结果表明,溶液pH对柠檬酸、草酸、酒石酸和丁二酸等脂肪羧酸类有机物的混凝性能影响较小.紫外辐射处理后,脂肪羧酸类小分子有机物的混凝去除率均高于未经紫外辐射处理的水样.进一步研究表明,紫外辐射过程中发生了光化学反应,使得脂肪羧酸的表面负电性降低,进而提高了其化学凝聚性.与脂肪类小分子有机酸不同,苯酚、水杨酸和苯甲酸的化学凝聚性较差,且受紫外辐射过程的影响小.单宁酸的混凝性能较好,pH=6时的去除率最高可达90%以上,这可能与其分子中脂肪酸碳链结构的存在以及单宁酸分子较大,易与PACl的水解产物发生吸附电中和反应有关.
