Degradation of kanamycin from production wastewater with high-concentration organic matrices by hydrothermal treatment

It is known that many kinds of fermentative antibiotics can be removed by temperature-enhanced hydrolysis from production wastewater based on their easy-to-hydrolyze characteristics. However, a few aminoglycosides are hard to hydrolyze below 100°C because of their stability expressed by high molecular energy gap (ΔE). Herein, removal of hard-to-hydrolyze kanamycin residue from production wastewater by hydrothermal treatment at subcritical temperatures was investigated. The results showed the reaction temperature had a significant impact on kanamycin degradation. The degradation half-life (t_1/2) was shortened by 87.17-fold when the hydrothermal treatment temperature was increased from 100°C to 180°C. The t_1/2 of kanamycin in the N₂ process was extended by 1.08-1.34-fold compared to that of the corresponding air process at reaction temperatures of 140-180°C, indicating that the reactions during hydrothermal treatment process mainly include oxidation and hydrolysis. However, the contribution of hydrolysis was calculated as 75%-98%, which showed hydrolysis played a major role during the process, providing possibilities for the removal of kanamycin from production wastewaters with high-concentration organic matrices. Five transformation products with lower antibacterial activity than kanamycin were identified using UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis. More importantly, hydrothermal treatment could remove 97.9% of antibacterial activity (kanamycin EQ, 1,109 mg/L) from actual production wastewater with COD_Cr around 100,000 mg/L. Furthermore, the methane production yield in anaerobic inhibition tests could be increased about 2.3 times by adopting the hydrothermal pretreatment. Therefore, it is concluded that hydrothermal treatment as a pretreatment technology is an efficient method for removing high-concentration hard-to-hydrolyze antibiotic residues from wastewater with high-concentration organic matrices.     

Surface characterization of metal oxides-supported activated carbon fiber catalysts for simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide and carbon disulfide

The sol–gel method was used to synthesize a series of metal oxides-supported activated carbon fiber (ACF) and the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis activity of carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS₂) at relatively low temperatures of 60°C was tested. The effects of preparation conditions on the catalyst properties were investigated, including the kinds and amount of metal oxides and calcination temperatures. The activity tests indicated that catalysts with 5 wt.% Ni after calcining at 400°C (Ni(5)/ACF(400)) had the best performance for the simultaneous catalytic hydrolysis of COS and CS₂. The surface and structure properties of prepared ACF were characterized by scanning electron microscope-energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), carbon dioxide-temperature programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD) and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared reflection (DRFTIR). And the metal cation defects were researched by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method. The characterization results showed that the supporting of Ni on the ACF made the ACF catalyst show alkaline and increased the specific surface area and the number of micropores, then improved catalytic hydrolysis activity. The DRFTIR results revealed that -OH species could facilitate the hydrolysis of COS and CS₂; -COO and -C–O species could facilitate the oxidation of catalytic hydrolysate H₂S. And the EPR results showed that high calcination temperature conditions provide more active reaction center for the COS and CS₂ adsorption.     

广州城区黑碳气溶胶吸光增强特性研究

本研究运用最小相关系数法（MRS）,使用元素碳（EC）作为示踪物,得到一次排放的质量吸光效率（MAE_p）,结合黑碳仪（AE33）和有机碳/元素碳分析仪获得实测的质量吸光效率MAE_t,进而通过MAE_t/MAE_p的比值得出吸光增强系数（E_abs）.采样站点位于广州市城区暨南大学大气超级监测站,采样时间涵盖了干季（2019年1月26日~3月31日）和湿季（2018年5月1日~7月31日）.对广州市城区的黑碳气溶胶及其光学特征进行分析,EC在干季的平均浓度（1.93±1.38）μgC/m³高于湿季（1.46±0.75）μgC/m³,而E_abs520在干季的均值（1.26±0.34）低于湿季（1.63±0.55）.E_abs520在干湿季的日变化差异明显,但有机碳（OC）、EC、OC/EC、波长指数（AAE_470-660）均为干季高于湿季.分析发现气溶胶负载补偿参数k值与E_abs520在湿季呈现出较好的相关性,而在干季相关性较差,可能与生物质燃烧的影响有关;探讨了O₃、NO₂和SOC/OC对E_abs520的影响,在干季O₃与E_abs520的相关性较差（R²=0.21）,在湿季较好（R²=0.46）,SOC/OC却展现出了相反的关系,而NO₂在干季和湿季与E_abs520的相关性都较差（R²=0.01）,并发现温度对E_abs520存在一定的影响.通过后向轨迹聚类分析发现,长距离传输气团的的黑碳E_abs520值较高.     

嘉兴夏季臭氧污染的近地层垂直变化特征

基于2018年浙江省嘉兴市14个环境国控站点的O₃历史资料与气象要素,研究O₃与气象要素的关系,并结合差分吸收臭氧雷达的垂直臭氧探测资料,分析近地层O₃廓线变化特征.结果表明,嘉兴地区发生高浓度O₃污染的关键气象要素为24~36℃的大气温度和36%~77%的相对湿度,24℃以上的大气温度与77%以下的相对湿度可作为启动预警O₃污染的气象指标.差分吸收臭氧雷达监测结果显示,无论O₃超标天与清洁天,在垂直方向上其浓度随高度先升后降,在600~800m范围出现峰值;O₃污染时段,在中午到午后低空形成持续向下的O₃输送带,这种低空O₃与地表O₃的叠加机制加重地表O₃污染程度,导致地表O₃超标与低空高浓度相伴出现;其廓线日变化规律表现出800m以下浓度在夜间和凌晨梯度不显著,日出后近地层O₃随时间快速增加,中午和午后持续高值,傍晚随时间逐渐下降的特征.后向轨迹分析表明,10,500,1000m高度层的气流后向轨迹聚类有相似性,500m处沿闽浙海岸线的轨迹簇对应O₃较10m处来自海上的轨迹簇高,这与500m处前体物输送堆积和紫外线辐射增强有关.污染过程近地层气流来向紧贴地面,但中高层有明显下沉气流使得O₃前体物在500m附近堆积,是造成2个典型污染过程中垂直方向上O₃高值出现在500m左右的原因之一.

秸秆与化肥减量配施对菜地土壤温室气体排放的影响

采用静态箱/气相色谱法,2016年11月至2017年9月通过田间原位试验,设置了无物料还田(CK)、常规化肥(F)、秸秆还田配施100%化肥(100FS)、秸秆还田配施70%化肥(70FS)、秸秆还田配施60%化肥(60FS)、秸秆还田配施50%化肥(50FS),对比分析了在化肥减量的基础上,配施秸秆处理的菜地(莴笋-卷心菜-辣椒轮作)土壤CO_2、CH_4、N_2O动态变化特征及温室效应,研究秸秆与化肥减量配施对菜地温室气体排放的影响.结果表明,土壤CO_2、CH_4、N_2O排放具有一定的季节变化规律,排放高峰主要集中在4~8月,且在施肥灌水后均会出现气体的排放峰.秸秆与化肥配施较常规施肥(F)处理提高了土壤N_2O排放量,累积排放量及其排放系数,其中100FS处理的效果最为明显,辣椒季的累积排放通量明显高于莴笋季和卷心菜季,高达60.76 kg·hm~(-2)(P0.05),N_2O的排放系数(以N_2O-N/N计)为0.138 kg·kg-1,而秸秆与化肥减量配施较100FS处理可以降低氮肥的N_2O排放系数.与对照CK和F处理相比,70FS处理降低了土壤CO_2排放量和累积排放量,分别为55.28~1 831.62 mg·(m2·h)-1和7 502.13~25 988.55 kg·hm~(-2),而其他秸秆与化肥配施处理均增加了CO_2累积排放通量,尤其是60FS和50FS处理.对土壤CH_4排放而言,辣椒季的排放波动较大,除CK外,各处理的土壤CH_4累积排放量多为负值,表现为大气中CH_4汇;秸秆与化肥减量30%~50%配施处理均降低了辣椒季的土壤CH_4排放量和累积排放通量,而100FS处理提高了CH_4排放量和累积排放通量.与CK和F处理相比,除70FS外,100FS、60FS和50FS均显著提高了GWP.总体上,从温室气体排放角度,在常规化肥施用的基础上减量30%再与秸秆配施可以降低土壤CO_2和CH_4排放,缓解温室气体的增温潜势,而对土壤N_2O减排效果不显著.     

长期不同施肥量对全程氨氧化细菌丰度的影响

全程氨氧化细菌(Comammox Nitrospira)的发现彻底改变了对传统硝化作用的认知,其在生物地球化学氮循环中可能具有很重要的作用,并为硝化作用研究提供了新的思路,故需要有更多的工作去评估Comammox Nitrospira在不同生态系统中的分布,本试验选取西南大学长期定位试验田的3种不同施肥量的水稻土,分别为对照组(blank control)、常规施肥量(NPK)、高量施肥(1.5NPKS)处理土壤,进行硝化势及硝化微生物尤其是全程氨氧化细菌的测定.结果表明:(1)3种施肥量处理土壤中均检测出较高数量级的Comammox,分支A(Clade A)丰度(以干土计,下同)分别为9.0×107、1.7×108、7.2×108copies·g~(-1),而分支B(Clade B)丰度分别为1.5×107、1.2×107、1.7×107copies·g~(-1).(2)3种施肥土壤中AOA丰度为1.5×107~1.2×108copies·g~(-1),AOB丰度分别为2.0×105~9.3×107copies·g~(-1),均低于Comammox丰度,而不施肥条件下Comammox丰度与AOA、AOB的比值最大,分别为7.2、524.4.(3)Comammox Clade A丰度与Comammox Clade B的比值随施肥量增加而增加,且比值依次为6.1、14.4、43.1.(4)NPK、1.5NPKS两种N肥施用量下全程氨氧化细菌分支A丰度分别为对照组的1.9、8.0倍,氨氧化古菌(AOA)分别是对照组的3.2、7.2倍,氨氧化细菌(AOB)均比对照组显著增加2个数量级;硝化势也随施肥量增加而增大;但不同施肥量对分支B丰度却无显著影响.本试验结果表明Comammox广泛分布于中性紫色水稻土中,在水稻土中丰度均比AOA、AOB高,因此Comammox很有可能在中性紫色水稻土的硝化作用中有一定贡献;水稻土中Comammox以Comammox Clade A为主.     

基于结构方程模型的陕北退耕区农业产业-资源系统耦合机制分析——以吴起县为例

农业产业-资源耦合机制通过改变农业资源利用方向和强度调控农业产业-资源系统耦合路径,影响系统耦合效果。利用结构方程模型,通过对典型退耕区域——陕北吴起县2016年497户农户调研资料的分析,验证了政策、信息（技术、市场）、农业资源、农业产业是系统耦合机制的基本构成和重要驱动要素,该县域已形成了相对稳定的多维链型耦合机制。在这一机制作用下,农业产业有所发展,但仅停留在资源显性利用上,农业产业-资源系统局部相悖,系统对经济效益总的标准化路径系数为0.112,且产业对经济效益的路径系数仅为-0.047;从各驱动要素间相互作用来看,农业产业与农业资源单向作用,系统部分链网缺失,说明目前的耦合机制不能有效支撑农业产业-资源系统的良性运行,具体表现为：未充分挖掘林草生态系统的经济功能,资源未达到最优配置。因而,下一步需通过对政策、信息（技术、市场）、农业资源、农业产业等要素的优化组合,构建新的良性耦合机制,进而实现吴起县农业产业-资源系统的优化耦合,促进退耕区生态文明建设。
