Degradation of polyacrylamide (PAM) and methane production by mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestion: Effect of temperature and concentration

• PAM degradation in thermophilic AD in comparison with mesophilic AD. • PAM degradation and its impact on thermophilic and mesophilic AD. • Enhanced methane yield in presence of PAM during thermophilic and mesophilic AD. • PAM degradation and microbial community analysis in thermophilic and mesophilic AD. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is generally employed in wastewater treatment processes such as sludge dewatering and therefore exists in the sludge. Furthermore, it degrades slowly and can deteriorate methane yield during anaerobic digestion (AD). The impact or fate of PAM in AD under thermophilic conditions is still unclear. This study mainly focuses on PAM degradation and enhanced methane production from PAM-added sludge during 15 days of thermophilic (55°C) AD compared to mesophilic (35°C) AD. Sludge and PAM dose from 10 to 50 g/kg TSS were used. The results showed that PAM degraded by 76% to 78% with acrylamide (AM) content of 0.2 to 3.3 mg/L in thermophilic AD. However, it degraded only 27% to 30% with AM content of 0.5 to 7.2 mg/L in mesophilic AD. The methane yield was almost 230 to 238.4 mL/g VSS on the 8th day in thermophilic AD but was 115.2 to 128.6 mL/g VSS in mesophilic AD. Mechanism investigation revealed that thermophilic AD with continuous stirring not only enhanced PAM degradation but also boosted the organics release from the sludge with added PAM and gave higher methane yield than mesophilic AD.

废旧锂电池正极材料LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2中钴的回收

随着新能源汽车工业的快速发展,废旧三元动力锂电池的量在不断地增加。三元动力锂电池中含有丰富的Co、Mn、Li和Ni资源,回收三元动力锂电池是防止环境污染和回收贵重金属的理想选择。利用抗坏血酸(C6H8O6)的酸性和还原性对废旧三元锂电池正极材料进行浸出,KMnO_4的强氧化性回收浸出液中的Co制备β-CoC_2O_4·2H_2O,采用浓度为1.3 mol·L~(-1)的C_6H_8O_6,在60℃的条件下对正极材料浸出20 min,向浸出夜中加入1 mol·L-1的H_2SO_4反应20 min后加入KMnO_4继续反应1 h,制得β-CoC_2O_4·2H_2O。实验结果表明,Co的回收率达91%,Li的浸出率可达96.4%,Mn和Ni完全浸出,可实现简单环保地浸出有价金属并回收Co。     

人工湿地处理污染河水的持续性运行研究

中国北方地区城市纳污河道内的污染河水具有水量、水质、水温季节性变化大的特点,这给人工湿地污染河水处理系统的持续性运行造成很大困难.通过1a多的连续性运行,对潜流人工湿地污染河水处理系统的可持续运行问题进行了系统研究,年平均水力负荷为15 cm/d.结果表明,季节变化对氨氮的去除效果影响很大,夏季氨氮去除效果良好,去除率达70%以上,而冬季水温降低到15℃以下时,氨氮去除率降低到30%以下,但季节变化对COD去除效果的影响较小.人工湿地在夏季雨季时期可以承受较大的短期洪水水力冲击负荷,在100 cm/d的负     

Analysis of metabolic changes in Trichoderma asperellum TJ01 at different fermentation time-points by LC-QQQ-MS

Trichoderma spp. are among the most widely recognized biocontrol fungi used to inhibit pathogens and promote plant growth. These functions are related to primary and secondary metabolites. This study investigated the different metabolites in Trichoderma asperellum TJ01 cultured for 24 and 72?h using liquid chromatography with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. Compared to the 24?h culture of T. asperellum TJ01, the 72?h culture with amino acid metabolism tended to decrease while sugar and lipid metabolisms tended to increase. Furthermore, the 72?h culture had a higher proportion of upregulated flavonoids, in combination with a higher proportion of downregulated alkaloids, and equal proportions of upregulated and downregulated polyphenols and hormones. This study also identified a few valuable medicinal substances such as trigonelline and 5-hydroxytryptophan in T. asperellum TJ01 fermentation cultures.     

红壤和黄泥土对不同浓度六氯苯的吸附与解吸特征

采用批量平衡试验的方法,研究了不同初始浓度的六氯苯在红壤和黄泥土表面的吸附与解吸特征. 结果表明,六氯苯在红壤和黄泥土表面的吸附与解吸行为均可用Freundlich方程进行很好的拟合,其相关系数(R2)在0.97-0.99之间,并表现为非线性特征. 六氯苯在红壤和黄泥土上吸附的KadsF值均小于其解吸的KdesF值,说明六氯苯在这两种土壤表面的解吸表现为一定的滞后效应. 随着初始浓度的升高,其滞后效应增强,两者呈线性相关. 用不同方程对滞后系数H,ω和λ进行量化,发现不同浓度的六氯苯在土壤表面的解吸过程表现出正滞后效应.

基于生态—经济协调发展的乡镇空间功能分区

按提供产品的类别,乡镇尺度空间由生态空间、农业空间和建设空间组成,这3部分空间共同承载着乡镇社会经济发展的重任。坚持生态保护对发展的约束与支撑功能并存的理念,建立以生态约束为前提,并与开发建设协同推进的分区指标体系、技术方法及应用模式,是生态文明战略下空间功能分区的有益探讨。以南京市六合区雄州街道为案例,借助Arc GIS空间分析工具,采用互斥性矩阵分类法,通过对生态约束、农业发展、工业发展与人居环境等建设开发适宜性的单项与综合评价的集成,构建生态、农业和建设空间布局的总体架构,实现了街镇空间功能的整合与科学定位;划分禁止建设区、限制建设区、适宜建设区和已建设区等四大类功能区,并提出各功能区的生态环境保护措施与产业发展导向,为实施区域发展与生态保护的协同推进提供了依据。
