Performance and microbial diversity of an expanded granular sludge bed reactor for high sulfate and nitrate waste brine treatment

The disposal of waste brines has become a major challenge that hinders the wide application of ion- exchange resins in the water industry in recent decades. In this study, high sulfate removal efficiency （80%-90%） was achieved at the influent sulfate concentration of 3600 mg/L and 3% NaC1 after 145 days in an expanded granular sludge bed （EGSB） reactor. Furthermore, the feasibility of treating synthetic waste brine containing high levels of sulfate and nitrate was investigated in a single EGSB reactor during an operation period of 261 days. The highest nitrate and sulfate loading rate reached 6.38 and 5.78 kg/（m3-day） at SO42--S/NO3-N mass ratio of 4/3, and the corresponding removal efficiency was 99.97% and 82.26% at 3% NaC1, respectively. Meanwhile, 454-pyrosequencing technology was used to analyze the bacterial diversity of the sludge on the 240th day for stable operation of phase X. Results showed that a total of 9194 sequences were obtained, which could be affiliated to 14 phyla, including Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Chlorobi, Bacteroidetes, Synergistetes and so on. Proteobacteria （77.66%） was the dominant microbial population, followed by Firmicutes （12.23%） and Chlorobi （2.71%）.     

Characteristics of secondary inorganic aerosol and sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles in Shanghai

Sulfate, nitrate and ammonium(SNA) are the dominant species in secondary inorganic aerosol, and are considered an important factor in regional haze formation. Size-fractionated aerosol particles for a whole year were collected to study the size distribution of SNA as well as their chemical species in Shanghai. SNA mainly accumulated in fine particles and the highest average ratio of SNA to particulate matter(PM) was observed to be 47% in the fine size fraction(0.49–0.95 μm). Higher sulfur oxidation ratio and nitrogen oxidation ratio values were observed in PM of fine size less than 0.95 μm. Ion balance calculations indicated that more secondary sulfate and nitrate would be generated in PM of fine size(0.49–0.95 μm). Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure(XANES) spectra of typical samples were analyzed. Results revealed that sulfur mainly existed as sulfate with a proportion(atomic basis) more than 73% in all size of PM and even higher at 90% in fine particles. Sulfate mainly existed as(NH4)2SO4 and gypsum in PM of Shanghai. Compared to non-haze days, a dramatic increase of(NH4)2SO4 content was found in fine particles on haze days only, which suggested the promoting impact of(NH4)2SO4 on haze formation. According to the result of air mass backward trajectory analysis, more(NH4)2SO4 would be generated during the periods of air mass stagnation. Based on XANES, analysis of sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles can be an effective way to evaluate the impact of sulfate aerosols on regional haze formation.     

全氟化合物对表层沉积物中细菌群落结构的影响

选择集中分布氟化工相关企业的山东省小清河水系,自上游至莱州湾入海口采集10个表层沉积物样点(XQ1~XQ10),采用高效液相色谱/质谱联用(HPLC/MS-MS)监测全氟化合物(perfluoroalkyl substances,PFASs),分析影响细菌群落结构的基础环境因子,提取细菌DNA并运用第二代Illumina Mi Seq测序技术分析其细菌群落结构.结果表明,在小清河流域沉积物中12种PFASs均有不同程度检出,并以全氟辛酸(PFOA)为主,生产企业集中区下游样点XQ5的PFOA浓度在4、7月分别高达456.2 ng·g-1和748.7 ng·g-1.PFOA是小清河4月影响微生物群落结构的关键因子,与群落丰富度和均匀度呈显著负相关;硫杆菌属(Thiobacillus)在低浓度PFOA条件下数量较少,但在高浓度PFOA下数量较高且成为优势菌种,初步证明硫杆菌属是PFOA污染响应的敏感物种,有作为指示微生物的潜质;PFOA在浓度较低时(100 ng·g-1)对微生物群落结构的影响不显著.

Monitoring seasonal distribution of an endangered anadromous sturgeon in a large river using environmental DNA

Monitoring dynamic distribution is crucial to conservation management of anadromous sturgeons, but traditional survey methods are less efficient for low-density populations in a large river. Natural propagation of Chinese sturgeon has been monitored annually mainly at the spawning ground using netting for eggs and hydroacoustics for broodstock. However, absence of spawning was observed sporadically in recent years, indicating further crises for the declining population. We analyzed eDNA of water samples collected from 24 sites across 1360 km of the migratory route of anadromous Chinese sturgeon in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Chinese sturgeon was detected at 9 sites during the spawning season and 14 sites after the spawning season. We found that positive eDNA detection rates remained constant in the middle reaches but dramatically changed in the lower reaches, reflecting seasonal migration pattern of Chinese sturgeon. Invasive sturgeons were detected in the river, indicating their possible escape from aquaculture facilities. This study established a protocol for the use of eDNA to monitor distribution of Chinese sturgeon and could be valuable in making better policies for the conservation of this endangered species.     

土地资源、环境与经济发展的协调性评价

评价系统发展协调性的“协调判别法”是这样一种方法：先为系统的各子系统选择一些有代表性又可用一定指标度量的要素，按一定标准将要素分作满意与不满意两类，统计加总各类要素的数量，以之作为度量用的综合指标，并经归一化处理得各子系统的“状态数”；再将这些子系统与一定的“状态空间”对应，在此空间中利用“状态数”确定子系统所属系统的“状态点”及“完全协调线”；然后分别计算状态点与协调线的距离（偏离度）、状态点与原点的距离（优化度），借助它们便可评价各子系统发展的同步性及相应系统的协调性。以此方法对通州市由土地利用、自然环境和社会经济3个子系统组成的系统进行的协调性评价表明，“协调判别法”具有含义明确、简单、较客观、易操作、可比性强的特点，适用于评价复杂系统的协调发展问题。     

Application of Transferable Development Rights in Cultivated Land Protection in China

To analyze current policies on cultivated land protection, this article discusses the application of transferable development rights in cultivated land protection by examining the connotation, operation mechanism, and construction on the market mechanism, benefits driving forces, and expected benefits. The results suggest that economic incentives and fairness have been neglected in previous policies on cultivated land protection. Moreover, the introduction of transferable development rights can not only eliminate the imbalance of interests, but also enhance the incentives for farmers and developers. In addition, it can significantly reduce the fiscal expenditure of the government.
