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.     

废弃水基钻井液固相物与蚯蚓粪协同土壤化研究

将废弃水基钻井液中的固相物质(以下简称固相物)与蚯蚓粪按不同比例混合制成试样土壤,用其种植景观植物空心菜和黑麦草,测定试样土壤的物理性质,分析种植过程试样土壤有机质、氮素、磷素的变化,对比植物种植前后试样土壤重金属含量的变化。结果表明,蚯蚓粪能够有效改善试样土壤物理性质,提高试样土壤肥力;为使试样土壤用于景观植物种植,固相物所占比例(以质量比计)宜在1∶8以下,固相物∶蚯蚓粪为1∶10时植物长势更佳;试样土壤在种植景观植物后重金属含量均有降低。可见,利用固相物与蚯蚓粪协同土壤化并通过种植重金属超富集植物降低试样土壤重金属,是固相物无害化处理的可行方法。     

表面活性剂对焦化污染土壤中多环芳烃淋洗修复研究

异位土壤淋洗是一种高效修复污染土壤技术。以孝义市某焦化厂污染土壤为研究对象,采用批处理实验,探究表面活性剂曲拉通-100(TX-100)、吐温80(TW80)、烷基糖苷(APG)作为淋洗剂对土壤中16种多环芳烃(PAHs)的淋洗效果,并以TW80为代表,考察了淋洗剂浓度、淋洗时间、pH以及淋洗方式对污染土壤中PAHs的去除效果。结果表明,TW80、TX-100和APG对土壤中16种PAHs的总去除率分别为25.67%、18.89%和16.77%。TW80作为淋洗剂,3环PAHs的去除率低于高环(3环)PAHs,主要与焦化污染土壤中以3环PAHs为主有关;高环PAHs随着环数的增加,去除率降低。焦化污染土壤中PAHs的去除在240min达到平衡;大部分PAHs去除率随TW80浓度的增加而增大;pH可不作调整;在TW80用量相同情况下,建议采用单次淋洗。

考虑黏结性退化的锈蚀PC梁抗弯承载力计算方法∗

钢绞线锈蚀降低了其与混凝土间的黏结性,导致钢绞线与其周围混凝土间的变形不协调,影响预应力混凝土梁的抗弯性能。采用快速锈蚀试验得到了不同锈蚀程度的16个有箍筋和无箍筋拉拔试件,通过拉拔试验得到了试件开始滑移及破坏时的拉拔力;回归了黏结折减系数与锈蚀率之间的关系式,并将其融入到预应力混凝土梁的抗弯承载力分析模型中,提出了考虑黏结性退化的锈蚀预应力混凝土梁抗弯承载力计算方法。试验结果表明：有箍筋试件的黏结强度大于无箍筋试件;随着钢绞线锈蚀水平的增大,箍筋对黏结强度退化的约束作用逐渐减小;黏结折减系数随锈蚀率的增加呈指数函数规律递减。将理论值与本文及已有文献中锈蚀预应力混凝土梁抗弯性能试验结果进行了比较,计算结果表明本方法预测精度较高,最大误差在6%以内,验证了本抗弯承载力计算方法的适用性,可为服役预应力混凝土桥梁抗弯承载力评估提供参考。
