Reduction and characterization of bioaerosols in a wastewater treatment station via ventilation

Bioaerosols from wastewater treatment processes are a significant subgroup of atmospheric aerosols. In the present study,airborne microorganisms generated from a wastewater treatment station(WWTS) that uses an oxidation ditch process were diminished by ventilation.Conventional sampling and detection methods combined with cloning/sequencing techniques were applied to determine the groups,concentrations,size distributions,and species diversity of airborne microorganisms before and after ventilation. There were 3021 ± 537 CFU/m3 of airborne bacteria and 926 ± 132 CFU/m3 of airborne fungi present in the WWTS bioaerosol.Results showed that the ventilation reduced airborne microorganisms significantly compared to the air in the WWTS. Over 60% of airborne bacteria and airborne fungi could be reduced after4 hr of air exchange. The highest removal(92.1% for airborne bacteria and 89.1% for fungi) was achieved for 0.65–1.1 μm sized particles. The bioaerosol particles over 4.7 μm were also reduced effectively. Large particles tended to be lost by gravitational settling and small particles were generally carried away,which led to the relatively easy reduction of bioaerosol particles0.65–1.1 μm and over 4.7 μm in size. An obvious variation occurred in the structure of the bacterial communities when ventilation was applied to control the airborne microorganisms in enclosed spaces.     

Compositions and sources of organic acids in fine particles (PM2.5) over the Pearl River Delta region, south China

Organic acids as important constituents of organic aerosols not only influence the aerosols' hygroscopic property, but also enhance the formation of new particles and secondary organic aerosols. This study reported organic acids including C14–C32fatty acids, C4–C9dicarboxylic acids and aromatic acids in PM2.5collected during winter 2009 at six typical urban, suburban and rural sites in the Pearl River Delta region. Averaged concentrations of C14–C32fatty acids, aromatic acids and C4– C9 dicarboxylic acids were 157, 72.5 and 50.7 ng/m3, respectively. They totally accounted for 1.7% of measured organic carbon. C20–C32fatty acids mainly deriving from higher plant wax showed the highest concentration at the upwind rural site with more vegetation around, while C14–C18fatty acids were more abundant at urban and suburban sites, and dicarboxylic acids and aromatic acids except 1,4-phthalic acid peaked at the downwind rural site. Succinic and azelaic acid were the most abundant among C4–C9dicarboxylic acids, and 1,2-phthalic and 1,4-phthalic acid were dominant aromatic acids. Dicarboxylic acids and aromatic acids exhibited significant mutual correlations except for 1,4-phthalic acid, which was probably primarily emitted from combustion of solid wastes containing polyethylene terephthalate plastics. Spatial patterns and correlations with typical source tracers suggested that C14–C32fatty acids were mainly primary while dicarboxylic and aromatic acids were largely secondary. Principal component analysis resolved six sources including biomass burning, natural higher plant wax, two mixed anthropogenic and two secondary sources; further multiple linear regression revealed their contributions to individual organic acids. It turned out that more than 70% of C14–C18fatty acids were attributed to anthropogenic sources, about 50%–85% of the C20–C32fatty acids were attributed to natural sources, 80%–95% of dicarboxylic acids and 1,2-phthalic acid were secondary in contrast with that 81% of 1,4-phthalic acid was primary.     

强化混凝处理低温低浊松花江水研究

针对低温低浊水出水浊度不达标的问题进行了絮凝试验研究。结果表明,投加混凝剂聚合氯化铝(PAC)或聚合氯化铝铁(PAFC),剩余浊度、剩余CODMn均有所降低,继续加大投药量,浊度反而升高。进一步试验表明:在PAFC用量为12 mg/L,改性活化硅酸用量为0.12 mg/L条件下,剩余浊度、剩余CODMn分别达到0.21 mg/L和0.64 mg/L。改性活化硅酸的投加时间对混凝效果有一定的影响,混凝开始后330s投加改性活化硅酸可以提高混凝效果。

不同粘土矿物材料对Pb2+的吸附特征

探讨了在不同矿物投加量、不同振荡时间、不同Pb2 浓度、不同矿物颗粒细度和不同pH条件下,钠基膨润土、膨胀蛭石和沸石3种粘土矿物对Pb2 的吸附效果.结果表明:对于具有可膨胀层间的粘土矿物而言,其对溶液中Pb2 的吸附量不仅仅由单一的阳离子交换量所决定;Pb2 在矿物表面的吸附过程是个迅速的过程,矿物对Pb2 的吸附在10 min内即可完成;粘土矿物不同颗粒细度对Pb2 的去除率有所不同,但考虑到实际应用中的成本问题,并非颗粒越细越好;就试验所采用的3种粘土矿物而言,其对Pb2 的吸附效果是,钠基膨润土和沸石明显优于膨胀蛭石;较高的pH有助于粘土矿物对溶液中Pb2 的吸附,但考虑到实际操作的其他因素,不能把pH调得过高.
