Sulfur dioxide and o-xylene co-treatment in biofilter: Performance, bacterial populations and bioaerosols emissions

Sulfur dioxide(SO_2) and benzene homologs are frequently present in the off-gas during the process of sewage sludge drying. A laboratory scale biofilter was set up to co-treat SO_2 and o-xylene in the present study. SO_2 and o-xylene could be removed simultaneously in a single biofilter. Their concentration ratio in the inlet stream influenced the removal efficiencies. It is worth noting that the removal of SO_2 could be enhanced when low concentrations of o-xylene were introduced into the biofilter. Pseudomonas sp., Paenibacillus sp., and Bacillus sp. were the main functional bacteria groups in the biofilter. Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria(SOB) and o-xylene-degrading bacteria(XB) thrived in the biofilter and their counts as well as their growth rate increased with the increase in amount of SO_2 and o-xylene supplied. The microbial populations differed in counts and species due to the properties and components of the compounds being treated in the biofilter. The presence of mixed substrates enhanced the diversity of the microbial population. During the treatment process, bioaerosols including potentially pathogenic bacteria, e.g., Acinetobacter lwoffii and Aeromonas sp., were emitted from the biofilter. Further investigation is needed to focus on the potential hazards caused by the bioaerosols emitted from waste gas treatment bioreactors.     

福建省敖江下游抗生素抗性基因分布特征

河流流域的下游往往是各种大小城镇聚集之处,快速城市化等人类活动导致了城市河流环境剧烈改变.抗生素抗性基因是一种新型污染物,城市河流中抗生素抗性基因的传播和富集可能对城市人口健康和城市生态安全造成潜在的危害.本研究采用高通量定量PCR技术,研究福建省连江县城区上游、城区下游和河流入海口这3个采样点的抗生素抗性基因污染情况和分布特征.结果表明:(1)敖江流域连江县城区下游河流抗生素抗性基因丰度达到了3.9×10~(10)copies·L~(-1),显著高于城区上游和河流入海口的丰度(P0.05);(2)城区下游检测出了129种抗生素抗性基因,显著高于城区上游检测出的79种,而河流入海口的抗性基因种类仍然高达118种,表明河流水体环境中抗生素抗性基因一旦出现,就很难自然消减;(3)城市河流环境是抗生素抗性基因的一个重要存储库.     

澜沧江流域浮游细菌群落结构特征及驱动因子分析

为探究澜沧江流域的浮游细菌群落结构特征及驱动因子,应用16S rRNA高通量测序技术,分析了2017年2月澜沧江流域浮游细菌群落结构特征,并采用Pearson相关性分析(Pearson correlation analysis)和冗余分析(RDA)识别了澜沧江自然河道段和水库段浮游细菌群落结构变化的关键环境因子.结果表明,自然河道段ACE指数和Shannon指数均高于水库段,造成自然河道段和水库段浮游细菌多样性变化的主要环境因子为水温(WT)、溶解氧(DO)、浊度(Tur)、高锰酸盐指数(permanganate index)、p H和总氮(TN).对16S rRNA V3和V4测序,得到用于物种分类的OTU数共26772,涵盖了浮游细菌群落共45门,965属.菌群分类发现,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)为优势门,其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)含量相对丰富,占细菌群落的36%~94%.澜沧江流域变形菌门(Proteobacteria)主要包括α-变形菌纲(α-Proteobacteria)、β-变形菌纲(β-Proteobacteria)和γ-变形菌纲(γ-Proteobacteria),分别占变形菌门(Proteobacteria)的比例为0.39%~21.56%、0.39%~55.80%和31.09%~99.18%.澜沧江水体浮游细菌群落空间差异明显,影响浮游细菌群落结构变化的环境因子主要为WT、高锰酸盐指数、Tur、DO和TN.自然河道段和水库段影响浮游细菌群落结构的环境因子不同,DO和Tur是影响自然河道段浮游细菌群落结构的关键环境因子,而水库段浮游细菌群落结构主要受WT、高锰酸盐指数和TN的影响.     

固沙植被黄柳、小叶锦鸡儿蒸腾耗水尺度提升研究

论文以科尔沁沙地主要固沙植被黄柳、小叶锦鸡儿为研究对象,基于生长季典型枝条茎流的逐日动态观测数据,以黄柳茎干截面积和小叶锦鸡儿叶面积实测数据为扩展纯量,实现了由枝条茎流向灌丛群落蒸腾耗水的尺度提升。结果表明：生长季黄柳和小叶锦鸡儿群落的蒸腾耗水量分别为287.26 mm和197.23 mm,黄柳的耐旱性相对较低。采用FAO Penman-Monteith公式计算出同时期两种植被群落的蒸散量分别为328.70 mm和233.15 mm。日蒸腾耗水量与日蒸散量变化趋势基本一致,两种植被的决定系数分别为0.717 3和0.678 7。论文所建立的尺度提升方法在荒漠化灌木植被蒸腾耗水估算方面行之有效,可为科学选育和管理固沙植被、确定合理造林密度等提供参考依据。     

Effects of environmental factors on N2O emission from and CH4 uptake by the typical grasslands in the Inner Mongolia

The fluxes of N2O emission from and CH4 uptake by the typical semi-arid grasslands in the Inner Mongolia, China were measured in 1998-1999. Three steppes, i.e. the ungrazed Leymus chinensis (LC), the moderately grazed Leymus chinensis (LC) and the ungrazed Stipa grandis (SG), were investigated, at a measurement frequency of once per week in the growing seasons and once per month in the non-growing seasons of the LC steppes. In addition, four diurnal-cycles of the growing seasons of the LC steppes, each in an individual stage of grass growth, were measured. The investigated steppes play a role of source for the atmospheric N2O and sink for the atmospheric CH4, with a N2O emission flux of 0.06-0.21 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) and a CH4 uptake flux of 1.8-2.3 kg C ha(-1) yr(-1). Soil moisture primarily and positively regulates the spatial and seasonal variability of N2O emission. The usual difference in soil moisture among various semi-arid steppes does not lead to significantly different CH4 uptake intensities. Soil moisture, however, negatively regulates the seasonal variability in CH4 uptake. Soil temperature of the most top layer might be the primary driving factor for CH4 uptake when soil moisture is relatively low. The annual net emission of N2O and CH4 from the ungrazed LC steppe, the moderately grazed LC steppe and the ungrazed SG steppe is at a CO2 equivalent rate of 7.7, 0.8 and -7.5 kg CO2-C ha(-1) yr(-1), respectively, which is at an ignorable level. This implies that the role of the semi-arid grasslands in the atmospheric greenhouse effect in terms of net emission of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) may exclusively depend upon the net exchange of net ecosystem CO2 exchange.
