废水反硝化生物反应器中喹啉降解细菌的分离与特性

杂环化合物喹啉是焦化等工业废水中的一种难降解化合物.有关喹啉微生物降解的研究还很有限,分离筛选多样的喹啉降解细菌,对认识喹啉的降解机制和强化废水中喹啉的降解具有重要意义.本研究通过富集和多种分离条件的培养,从焦化废水活性污泥及唪啉驯化的生物膜样品中分离获得56株与喹啉降解相关的菌株,以16S rDNA双酶切方法进行ARDRA分型,将这些菌株分为12个OTU.选取部分代表菌株进行16S rDNA测序分析,表明分离所获得的菌株主要是Ochrobactrum、Bacillus、Pseudomonas和Rhodococcus属的微生物.通过对部分菌株测定其喹啉降解能力.发现大部分菌株都能以喹啉为唯一碳源进行生长并高效降解喹啉,极少数菌株不能单独降解喹啉.降解喹啉的Ochrobactrum属菌株还未见报道.     

Ammonia emissions from different pig production scales and their temporal variations in the North China Plain

ABSTRACT

Pig production systems in China are shifting from small to industrial scale. Significant variation in housing ammonia (NH₃) emissions can exist due to differences in diet, housing design, and management practices. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the impacts of farm-scale in China, which may be critical in identifying hotspots and mitigation targets. Here, continuous in-situ NH₃ concentration measurements were made at pig farms of different scales for sows and fattening pigs over periods of 3–6 days during two different seasons (summer vs. winter). For the sow farms, NH₃ emission rates were greater at the small farm (summer: 0.52 g pig^?1 hr^?1; winter: 0.21 g pig^?1 hr^?1) than at the large farm (summer: 0.34 g pig^?1 hr^?1; winter: 0.12 g pig^?1 hr^?1). For the fattening pig farms, NH₃ emission rates were greater at the large farm (summer: 0.22 g pig^?1 hr^?1; winter: 0.16 g pig^?1 hr^?1) than at the small farm (summer: 0.19 g pig^?1 hr^?1; winter: 0.07 g pig^?1 hr^?1). Regardless of farm scale, the NH₃ emission rates measured in summer were greater than those in winter; the NH₃ emission rates were greater in the daytime than at the nighttime; a positive relationship (R² = 0.06–0.68) was established between temperature and NH₃ emission rate, whereas a negative relationship (R² = 0.10–0.47) was found between relative humidity and NH₃ emission rate. The effect of farm-scale on indoor NH₃ concentration could mostly be explained by the differences in ventilation rates between farms. The diurnal variation in NH₃ concentration could be partly explained by ventilation rate (R² = 0.48–0.78) in the small traditional farms and by emission rate (R² = 0.26–0.85) in the large industrial farms, except for the large fattening pig farm in summer. Overall, mitigation of NH₃ emissions from sow farms should be a top priority in the North China Plain.

Implications: The present study firstly examined the farm-scale effect of ammonia emissions in the North China Plain. Of all farms, the sow farm was identified as the greatest source of ammonia emission. Regardless of farm scale, ammonia emission rates were observed to be higher in summer. Ammonia concentrations were mostly higher in the large industrial farms partly due to lower ventilation rates than in the small traditional farms.     

聚糖菌颗粒污泥的有机物吸收及胞内储存特性

采用特殊运行方式的厌氧-好氧SBR系统(厌氧后排水),在乙酸钠、葡萄糖及葡萄糖-乙酸钠混合基质条件下均培养出了稳定的聚糖菌颗粒污泥.通过对典型周期有机物、磷酸盐、胞内糖原及聚β-羟基丁酸(PHB)变化的测定分析,证明有机基质的种类对于聚糖菌能量利用模式、有机物吸收速率及胞内储存物质种类具有显著的影响.污泥初始胞内糖原水平是有机物吸收数量及吸收速率的关键影响因素,当糖原水平低于0.05g/gSS时,厌氧有机物去除率与糖原水平直接相关:而糖原水平高于0.05g/gSS时,厌氧有机物去除率趋于稳定.不同糖原水平污泥厌氧吸收有机物的速率具有明显差异,在厌氧初期有机物快速吸收阶段,有机物厌氧吸收速率随胞内糖原水平升高而增加.     

碱渣对锌（Ⅱ）离子吸附特性的研究

研究了锌在碱渣表面的吸附特征.结果表明,碱渣总吸附量随体系温度的升高而降低;随体系 pH 值的升高而增加;随吸附质初始浓度的增加而增大.在 pH<5.51 时其等温吸附能较好地符合 Freudlich 等温吸附规律,而在 pH5.51 时,能较好地符合 Langmuir 等温吸附规律,吸附热随 pH 的增大而升高.当pH≤5.51时,碱渣的吸附力以范德华力平和疏水键力的作用为主,而当 pH6.17 时,以化学键力为主.在 pH 为 5.05、6.07和7.03时,碱渣对 Zn26 的吸附动力学方程都以 Langmuir 方程的拟合效果最优.     

Sustainable livelihoods development by utilization of geomorphological resources in the Bai Tu Long Bay,Quang Ninh Province,Vietnam

Located in the humid tropical zone and endowed with carbonate sedimentary formations, Vietnam has unique karst landscapes where caves, limestone, and dolines are common. If well managed, these are valuable geomorphological resources for a sustainable socio-economic development. Although publications on sustainable livelihoods associated with conserving biodiversity and local culture are plentiful, there is still a lack of studies linking livelihood quality with the conservation of geomorphological resources, in particular in karst areas. This study assesses the geomorphological resources in Vietnam’s Bai Tu Long Bay and studies the relationship between livelihood and these resources. The current research area Bai Tu Long Bay is adjacent to the natural World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay in the Vietnamese part of the Gulf of Tonkin. Bai Tu Long is characterized by a karst landscape, which is at the same time similar but also different from Ha Long Bay. A field survey and interviews with 153 households allowed assessing people’s perception of the value of the geomorphological resources and their importance for local income. The results show that Bai Tu Long Bay has abundant, diverse, and unique geomorphological resources, which are valuable for tourism development. However, the local people are unaware of these values likely because they have no direct benefit from them. Further a sustainable development strategy for Bai Tu Long Bay is recommended. The outcome is a proposal for tourism initiatives aiming at realizing more sustainability in the area.

Spatial and temporal variations of PAHs in surface sediments of estuarine and coast of CanGio wetland,Vietnam

Surface sediments from estuarine and coast of CanGio wetland (CGW) of Hochiminh City, Vietnam, were investigated to identify the spatial and temporal variations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The total PAHs showed wide variation but similar to patterns observed (F?=?0.901, p?=?0.46) in LongTau (31?±?77 ng/g dry weight, n?=?13), SoaiRap (53?±?81, n?=?4), ThiVai (60?±?62, n?=?10) estuaries, and coastal areas (112?±?211, n?=?9). A decreasing trend in the wet season (F?=?8.8, p?=?0.01) reflected that inland sources such as wastewater discharged and atmospherically transported contaminants contributed to PAHs in sediments. The risk posed by the PAHs in the coastal and estuarine areas of CGW is still negligible. The present study provides baseline data, which can be used for regular monitoring and future strategy of environmental protection for the study area.
