Metabolic uncoupler, 3,3′,4′,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide addition for sludge reduction and fouling control in a gravity-driven membrane bioreactor

• Effects of metabolic uncoupler TCS on the performances of GDMBR were evaluated. • Sludge EPS reduced and transformed into dissolved SMP when TCS was added. • Appropriate TCS increased the permeability and reduced cake layer fouling. • High dosage aggravated fouling due to compact cake layer with low bio-activity. The gravity-driven membrane bioreactor (MBR)system is promising for decentralized sewage treatment because of its low energy consumption and maintenance requirements. However, the growing sludge not only increases membrane fouling, but also augments operational complexities (sludge discharge). We added the metabolic uncoupler 3,3′,4′,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) to the system to deal with the mentioned issues. Based on the results, TCS addition effectively decreased sludge ATP and sludge yield (reduced by 50%). Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS; proteins and polysaccharides) decreased with the addition of TCS and were transformed into dissolved soluble microbial products (SMPs) in the bulk solution, leading to the break of sludge flocs into small fragments. Permeability was increased by more than two times, reaching 60–70 L/m²/h bar when 10–30 mg/L TCS were added, because of the reduced suspended sludge and the formation of a thin cake layer with low EPS levels. Resistance analyses confirmed that appropriate dosages of TCS primarily decreased the cake layer and hydraulically reversible resistances. Permeability decreased at high dosage (50 mg/L) due to the release of excess sludge fragments and SMP into the supernatant, with a thin but more compact fouling layer with low bioactivity developing on the membrane surface, causing higher cake layer and pore blocking resistances. Our study provides a fundamental understanding of how a metabolic uncoupler affects the sludge and bio-fouling layers at different dosages, with practical relevance for in situ sludge reduction and membrane fouling alleviation in MBR systems.

高分子稳定剂改良河道岸坡表层砂土水稳定性试验研究∗

针对河道岸坡表层砂土水稳定性问题,采用高分子稳定剂对砂土进行改良,结合浸泡崩解测试法和浸泡剪切测试法对改良砂土的水稳定性进行一系列的试验研究,并对砂土改良前后的水稳定性进行对比分析,并结合微观扫描电镜对改良机理进行分析。研究结果表明：稳定剂可以提高河道岸坡表层砂土的水稳定性。改良砂土随着稳定剂含量和密度的增大,崩解后的散开面积减少,当稳定剂含量达到0.3%时,试样呈现稳定状态。改良砂土试样在200 kPa轴向应力下的剪应力峰值整体上随稳定剂含量和密度的增加而增加。改良砂土的水稳定系数K随着稳定剂含量和砂土密度的增加而增大;当稳定剂含量大于3%时,改良砂土的稳定系数K均达到90以上。高分子稳定剂作为一种土体改良材料,与水混合后加入到砂土中,可填充砂土颗粒间的孔隙,包裹和连接砂土颗粒,形成一个整体的网状膜结构,提高砂土的水稳定性能。研究结果可为河道岸坡有效治理提供一定的参考。     

铅酸蓄电池行业生产者责任延伸制在我国实施的难点和解决方案

为解决我国废弃产品环境污染问题和再生资源循环利用的困境,加快生态文明建设和循环经济发展,国务院现已推行生产者责任延伸制度。该项制度的推行实施,可减轻环境治理负担,推动循环经济和清洁生产模式,促进企业技术升级,但该项制度在具体实施过程中尚存在一些问题。以铅蓄电池行业为例,存在的主要问题包括相关制度不健全、回收利用体系不完善、缺乏多部门联动监管机制和有效的经济激励政策等。针对上述问题,结合河南省的废铅蓄电池收集处理制度试点工作,提出铅酸蓄电池行业生产者责任延伸制实施的建议方案,为生产者责任延伸制度更好地推行和实施提供参考。

Increasing collaboration between China and India in the environmental sciences to foster global sustainability

As the two largest countries by population, China and India have pervasive effects on the ecosphere. Because of their human population size and long international boundary, they share biodiversity and the threats to it, as well as crops, pests and diseases. We ranked the two countries on a variety of environmental challenges and solutions, illustrating quantitatively their environmental footprint and the parallels between them regarding the threats to their human populations and biodiversity. Yet we show that China and India continue to have few co-authorships in environmental publications, even as their major funding for scientific research has expanded. An agenda for collaboration between China and India can start with the shared Himalaya, linking the countries’ scientists and institutions. A broader agenda can then be framed around environmental challenges that have regional patterns. Coordinated and collaborative research has the potential to improve the two countries’ environmental performance, with implications for global sustainability.
