Partial anammox achieved in full scale biofilm process for typical domestic wastewater treatment

• A full scale biofilm process was developed for typical domestic wastewater treatment. • The HRT was 8 h and secondary sedimentation tank was omitted. • Candidatus Brocadia were enriched in the HBR with an abundance of 2.89%. • Anammox enabled a stable ammonium removal of ~15% in the anoxic zone. The slow initiation of anammox for treating typical domestic wastewater and the relatively high footprint of wastewater treatment infrastructures are major concerns for practical wastewater treatment systems. Herein, a 300 m³/d hybrid biofilm reactor (HBR) process was developed and operated with a short hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 h. The analysis of the bacterial community demonstrated that anammox were enriched in the anoxic zone of the HBR process. The percentage abundance of Candidatus Brocadia in the total bacterial community of the anoxic zone increased from 0 at Day 1 to 0.33% at Day 130 and then to 2.89% at Day 213. Based upon the activity of anammox bacteria, the removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) in the anoxic zone was approximately 15%. This showed that the nitrogen transformation pathway was enhanced in the HBR system through partial anammox process in the anoxic zone. The final effluent contained 12 mg/L chemical oxygen demand (COD), 0.662 mg/L NH₄⁺-N, 7.2 mg/L total nitrogen (TN), and 6 mg/L SS, indicating the effectiveness of the HBR process for treating real domestic wastewater.     

中国氨的排放强度地理分布

根据中国畜禽、氮氨肥施用和生产及人口数量和相应的排放因子，计算了全国氨的排放量、排放强度地理分布和历的的排放量。结果表明，１９９１年全国氨的排放总量为８９１．８万ｔ，其中畜禽，氨肥施用，人粪便与氮肥生产的排氨量分别为６４％、１８％、１％。氨的排放强度最大的地区在中东部和四川的成渝地区。全国平均氨排放强度为０．９ｋｇ（ＮＨ３）／（ｋｍ＾２·ａ）。此值小于欧洲的未包括人排放的排放强度１．１ｋｇ（ＮＨ３     

乌鲁木齐采暖期前期与后期TSP、PM_(10)、PM_5、PM_(2.5)中重金属分布特征研究

从乌鲁木齐工业区、交通区、生活区、风景对照区4个典型区域入手,利用崂应2050型大气自动采样器及TSP/PM10/PM5/PM2.5/切割头对大气中TSP、PM10、PM5、PM2.5进行同步采集,并采用火焰原子吸收分光光度法及石墨炉原子吸收分光光度法对TSP、PM10、PM5、PM2.5中的6种重金属Cd、Pb、Cu、Ni、Zn、Mn的含量进行了测定。测定结果为:Cd的浓度为0.52~10.72 ng/m3;Pb的浓度为25.66~356.87 ng/m3;Cu的浓度为12.57~173.93 ng/m3;Ni的浓度为1.85~78.22 ng/m3;Zn的浓度为67.58~431.49 ng/m3;Mn的浓度为18.87~310.20 ng/m3。大气颗粒物中各重金属之间存在一定的相关性,重金属的分布与风力也有一定的关系。     

Ecotoxicological effects of mixed pollutants resulted from e-wastes recycling and bioaccumulation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Chinese loach （Misgurnus anguiUicaudatus）

To understand potential ecotoxicological e ects of electrical and electronic equipment waste (e-waste) recycling and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) bioaccumulation in loaches, a semi-field experiment using Chinese loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) as experimental fish was performed. Larval loaches were kept in net-cage for three months in an e-wastes recycling site and a reference site in Southeastern China. There was significant di erence of the survival rate between the loaches from the e-wastes recycling site (27%, 19/70) and from reference site (70%, 49/70). Histopathological responses were also found in all the livers examined in loaches from the e-wastes recycling site. These results showed that mixed pollutants resulted from e-wastes recycling led to ecotoxicological e ects on loaches. The bioaccumulation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the main pollutants in e-waste, in loaches was also studied, the mean concentration of total PBDEs in sediment was 6726.17 ng/g wet weight and in water samples was 4.08 ng/L (dissolved phase). BDE 209 was the dominant congener in sediment and with relatively high concentration in water. Relatively low concentration of BDE 209 (less than 0.01% of total PBDEs) and high concentration of BDE47 (up to 39.34% of total PBDEs) were detected in loaches.
