Synergistic degradation of deca-BDE by an enrichment culture and zero-valent iron

Debromination of decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) by microbe and by zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been reported previously. However, no study has indicated the presence of microorganisms and their effect on ZVI-mediated reduction of deca-BDE. Synergistic degradation of deca-BDE by an enrichment culture and ZVI was studied. It was found that synergistic effects enhanced the debromination of deca-BDE as well as promoting the reduction of lower brominated products. ZVI stimulated microbial debromination by serving as an electron donor. Correlation analysis also confirmed that ZVI was capable of enhancing microbial population in the debromination of deca-BDE. Conversely, the enrichment culture produced acid which maintained pH stability and stimulated the oxidation of ZVI. The enrichment culture supplied its energy requirements by the oxidation of ZVI and concomitant reduction of deca-BDE, but incapable of growth and reduction of BDE-209 without ZVI and vice versa. Compared to the initial culture, the microbial community of the enrichment culture became dominated by several bacterial genera based on the results of 16S rRNA-gene pyrosequencing.     

一体化生物膜工艺处理滨海农村污水脱氮特性研究

通过模拟农村生活污水水质和间歇进水特点,考察一体化生物膜工艺对农村生活污水的脱氮能力。该工艺水解酸化池和局部循环曝气池有效容积比为13∶10,曝气装置位于局部循环曝气池中间底部,出水端设置斜管沉淀池,兼有泥水循环功能。装置连续运行30周,平均进水量为300 L/d,生物反应区HRT为4 d。研究结果表明:在出水BOD5平均质量浓度为15.5 mg/L时,出水TN、NH3-N、NO-3-N的平均质量浓度控制在16.9,3.53,13.2 mg/L以下,出水碳、氮指标均达到GB 18918—2002《城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准》中一级排放要求。该工艺对间歇排放的农村生活污水具有较好的硝化能力,出水NO-3-N占TN含量的78.1%,而反硝化作用在一定程度上受到制约。     

城乡视听景观的变化及其对认知评价的影响

景观评价是国外环境质量评价和管理的重要组成部分。在快速城市化背景下,我国城乡的视觉景观和声景观质量正面临深刻变化。选取具有明显城市-乡村梯度的代表性景观,通过景观现场调查和室内评价测试,剖析了城市-乡村梯度下景观的视、听属性和人群的景观视、听及综合认知评价的变化,并探讨景观属性变化对认知评价的影响,以及视觉景观认知评价、声景观认知评价与景观视听综合评价之间的相互关系。结果表明:(1)沿城市-乡村梯度,视觉景观由人工景观逐渐过渡到自然景观,声景观由人工声为主逐渐过渡到以生物声和地质声为主,声级水平随之降低。(2)景观视听评价结果总体上随人工影响程度大小的下降而上升。(3)景观视听综合评价受视觉景观认知评价和声景观认知评价的共同影响,其中声景观认知评价对景观视听综合评价的贡献明显高于视觉景观认知评价。     

奎屯市城市环境噪声污染现状及防治措施分析

以新疆奎屯市为研究对象,对奎屯市2011年城市区域噪声的监测数据进行统计分析,并与上年监测数据进行对比,从声环境质量总体水平等级划分、暴露在各等效声级下的网格面积和人口数几方面系统地研究分析奎屯市环境噪声污染现状.在数据分析的基础上指出随着城市建设步伐加快,人口数量的增加,尤其是第三产业的迅速发展,交通、建筑、社会生活等噪声对区域声环境质量有很大的影响.同时提出城市环境噪声污染防治措施,为奎屯市环境管理提供科学依据.

二沉池污泥上浮的控制策略

河北大城县污水处理厂采用以氧化沟为主体的污水处理工艺,分析了二沉池污泥上浮产生的原因.认为硝化程度高、污泥在二沉池中停留时间过长是引起污泥上浮的主要原因.采取了减小氧化沟中的溶解氧以降低硝化反应的程度、合理调控二沉池的运行、加大污泥回流量和剩余污泥的排放量等措施后,污泥上浮现象得到有效控制,水厂运行逐渐恢复正常.
