Anoxic degradation of nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds by activated sludge and their active sites

The potential for degradation of five nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds(NHCs), i.e.,imidazole, pyridine, indole, quinoline, and carbazole, was investigated under anoxic conditions with acclimated activated sludge. Results showed that NHCs with initial concentration of 50 mg/L could be completely degraded within 60 hr. The degradation of five NHCs was dependent upon the chemical structures with the following sequence:imidazole pyridine indole quinoline carbazole in terms of their degradation rates.Quantitative structure–biodegradability relationship studies of the five NHCs showed that the anoxic degradation rates were correlated well with highest occupied molecular orbital.Additionally, the active sites of NHCs identified by calculation were confirmed by analysis of intermediates using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.     

复合重金属污染高岭土的电动修复

根据电子废弃物拆解场地的污染特征,以复合重金属(Cu,Cd,Pb)污染高岭土为研究对象,考察了电动技术对污染土壤的修复效果。实验结果表明:在电压梯度为1 V/cm、阳极液为自来水、阴极液为柠檬酸-柠檬酸钠缓冲液(pH=5)、靠近阴极设置活性炭渗透反应墙(PRB)的条件下电动修复96 h后,Cu,Cd,Pb的平均去除率分别可达79.93%,99.43%,39.36%;土壤的酸碱性对电动修复效果影响显著,通过在阴极添加缓冲液维持土壤偏酸性条件,有利于重金属污染物的电动去除;在靠近阴极设置活性炭PRB可富集重金属,减少阴极液的污染;迁移率大的酸可提取态重金属较易去除,残渣态重金属稳定性强,去除率较低。     

Ultrasound enhanced heterogeneous activation of peroxydisulfate by bimetallic Fe-Co/GAC catalyst for the degradation of Acid Orange 7 in water

Bimetallic Fe-Co/GAC （granular activated carbon） was prepared and used as heterogeneous catalyst in the ultrasound enhanced heterogeneous activation of peroxydisulfate （PS, S2O8 2-） process. The effect of initial pH, PS concentration, catalyst addition and stirring rate on the decolorization of Acid Orange 7 （AO7） was investigated. The results showed that the decolorization efficiency increased with an increase in PS concentration from 0.3 to 0.5 g/L and an increase in catalyst amount from 0.5 to 0.8 g/L. But further increase in PS concentration and catalyst addition would result in an unpronounced increase in decolorization efficiency. In the range of 300 to 900 r/min, stirring rate had little effect on AO7 decolorization. The catalyst stability was evaluated by measuring decolorization efficiency for four successive cycles.

基于2016年冬季泰州市环境空气质量自动监测数据,定量评估NAQPMS模式、CMAQ模式和人工订正对污染物质量浓度和空气质量等级的预报效果。结果表明,模式预报和人工订正对各污染物预报的相关系数由高到低排列为PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)、NO_2、SO_2、O_3-8h,颗粒物预报效果最好。除O_3-8h外,NAQPMS对各项污染物预报的相关系数R为0.47～0.82,CMAQ为0.75～0.81,人工订正为0.43～0.78,3种预报方式均能准确反映污染物浓度的变化趋势;模式预报、人工订正对O_3-8h预报相关系数均0.4。在发生颗粒物污染过程时,人工订正结果相对更为准确。NAQPMS、CMAQ和人工订正对空气质量等级24 h预报准确率分别为38.9%、41.1%和35.6%,NAQPMS对优类别的预判准确率较高,CMAQ、人工订正对良类别的预判准确率较高。对比不同时效的预报效果,24 h预报时效的准确率高于48和72 h。提出,城市空气质量预报可采用集合预报方式,综合1～2种运行较稳定的主流预报模式预报结果,预报员对模式模拟结果进行人工修订,提高预报准确率。

磺胺甲恶唑污染对颤蚓的氧化胁迫

在实验室模拟条件下分别采用动、静态生物实验方法,研究了不同浓度的磺胺甲恶唑(sulfamethoxazole,SMZ)对颤蚓(Monopyle phorus limosus)体内抗氧化防御系统的影响以及颤蚓暴露于单一浓度的SMZ后,其体内典型的抗氧化酶,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性随时间的响应。结果显示:染毒8d后,颤蚓体内SOD的活性先降低后逐渐升高。SMZ染毒浓度达到1.00mg·L-1时,SOD的活性被显著诱导(P<0.01),为对照组的1.30倍。过氧化物酶(POD)活性的变化趋势明显分为先升高、再降低2个阶段。染毒浓度达到0.25mg·L-1时,POD的活性受到最大诱导(P<0.01),约为对照组的1.40倍。各处理组过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性均高于对照组,并且随着SMZ暴露浓度的增加,CAT活性的变化趋势是逐渐降低的,与SMZ染毒浓度间存在较好的剂量-效应关系。随着SMZ暴露时间的延长,SOD、POD和CAT的活性变化趋势类似,均为先升高后降低,并在第8天时达到最大值(P<0.01),增长率分别为32%、26%和82%。综上,SMZ能诱导颤蚓体内产生氧化胁迫,而CAT在活性氧自由基的清除中发挥主要作用。

A comparative study of abiological granular sludge (ABGS) formation in different processes for zinc removal from wastewater

Abiological granular sludge (ABGS) formation is a potential and facile strategy for improving sludge settling performance during zinc removal from wastewater using chemical precipitation. In this study, the effect of pH, seed dosage, and flocculant dosage on ABGS formation and treated water quality was investigated. Results show that settling velocity of ABGS can reach up to 4.00 cm/s under optimal conditions, e.g., pH of 9.0, zinc oxide (ZnO) seeds dosage of 1.5 g/l, and polyacrylamide (PAM) dosage of 10 mg/l. More importantly, ABGS formation mechanism was investigated in NaOH precipitation process and compared with that in bio-polymer ferric sulfate (BPFS)–NaOH precipitation process regarding their sludge structure and composition. In the NaOH precipitation process, ABGS formation depends on some attractions between particles, such as van der Waals attraction and bridging attraction. However, during the BPFS–NaOH sludge formation process, steric repulsion becomes dominant due to the adsorption of BPFS on ZnO seeds. This repulsion further causes extremely loose structure and poor settling performance of BPFS–NaOH sludge.
