Developing “precise-acting” strategies for improving anaerobic methanogenesis of organic waste: Insights from the electron transfer system of syntrophic partners

Methanogenesis is the last step in anaerobic digestion, which is usually a rate-limiting step in the biological treatment of organic waste. The low methanogenesis efficiency (low methane production rate, low methane yield, low methane content) substantially limits the development of anaerobic digestion technology. Traditional pretreatment methods and bio-stimulation strategies have impacts on the entire anaerobic system and cannot directly enhance methanogenesis in a targeted manner, which was defined as “broad-acting” strategies in this perspective. Further, we discussed our opinion of methanogenesis process with insights from the electron transfer system of syntrophic partners and provided potential targeted enhancing strategy for high-efficiency electron transfer system. These “precise-acting” strategies are expected to achieve an efficient methanogenesis process and enhance the bio-energy recovery of organic waste.

基于HFACS-BN模型的危险化学品事故人因路径分析*

为提高危险化学品安全管理水平,收集我国134起以人为主因的危险化学品事故,构建危险化学品事故的HFACS-BN模型,并基于贝叶斯网络对危险化学品事故中的人因路径及各因素灵敏度进行分析。研究结果表明:行为违规是导致事故的最主要不安全行为;在复杂路径中,环境因素和操作者状态具有较高的灵敏度,与其相关的风险认知与处理不当是阻碍事故预防的关键因素;在非复杂路径中,操作者状态与运行计划不当具有较高的灵敏度,其所涉及的监督违规、组织过程和组织氛围,是导致危险化学品事故的根本起点,并可依此分析事故直接原因和间接原因;操作者状态在2种路径中均表现出高灵敏度,因此化工企业在人员管理上要加强关注职工状态,减少不安全行为的出现。

东江水中典型致嗅物质的调查

为去除由于运河排洪造成的东江饮用水中的嗅味,利用臭氧氧化-活性炭吸附中试装置,分别对东江水、运河水、装置进水和出水取样,进行吹扫捕集–GC-MS谱图分析,通过水样的臭阈值和吹扫捕集-GC-MS谱图对比,确定了东江夏季排洪时的致嗅物质,并分析了该江水中致嗅物质的组成特点.结果表明,东江水中致嗅物质来源于市内运河,其组成随季节不同变化较大,除了土嗅素和2-甲基异莰醇微生物代谢产物类致嗅物质外,以1-丙烯基-1-硫醇为主的硫醇、硫醚类厌氧分解产物是其夏季饮用水中主要的致嗅物质.
