Matrix effects in analysis of dialkyl phosphate metabolites of organophosphate pesticides in urine by gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometer

Urinary dialkyl phosphate metabolites (DAPs) are used as biomarkers to evaluate human exposure to organophosphate pesticides. The objective was to evaluate potential artifacts in urinary DAPs analysis during sample preparation and method calibration. Diluted urine pools were commonly used to prepare calibration standards to minimize the effects due to the complexity of urine matrix. Matrix effects on measurements of DAPs were evaluated by spiking known amount of standards into distilled water, synthetic urine and diluted urine pool. Different matrices resulted in similar concentrations detected for all target compounds, except dimethylphosphate (DMP) with the deviation of measurement as large as eight times the spiked amount. In this study, we also found that urinary particles, which usually appeared after thawing frozen human urine samples, could affect the measurements of DAPs, especially DMP and diethylthiophosphate (DETP). Results of DAPs measurements in three types of sample matrices, i.e. urine without particles, urine with particles and particles only were compared. DETP could be subject to large error during this preparation step. The use of deuterated and ¹³C₁₂-labeled DAPs as internal standards is also evaluated. Overall, these issues can cause misidentification and inaccuracies, which may significantly affect the data quality.     

粉煤灰的改性及其对高盐苯胺废水的处理

以盐酸和硫酸作为改性剂,对粉煤灰进行改性。通过正交实验得到最佳改性粉煤灰制备条件为：V（盐酸）∶V（硫酸）=1∶5,浸泡时间6h,活化时间6h,活化温度250℃。在初始苯胺质量浓度为200mg/L、氯化钠质量分数为15%、吸附时间为60min的条件下,采用在最佳条件下制备得到的改性粉煤灰对苯胺进行吸附,吸附量可达4.16mg/g。采用Freundlich方程可更好地对改性粉煤灰吸附苯胺的过程进行拟合。     

常温下向ABR反应器中加入惰性载体促进颗粒污泥形成

常温条件下(21～25℃),用实验室规模的2个厌氧折流板反应器进行颗粒污泥培养实验,向其中一个反应器(称为B反应器)接种厌氧污泥的同时加入惰性载体,另一个反应器(称为A反应器)作为对照只接种厌氧污泥,考察了惰性载体对ABR反应器中颗粒污泥的形成和反应器运行效果的影响.结果表明,惰性载体的加入促进了反应器中颗粒污泥的形成,提高了反应器的处理效果.运行162 d后,B反应器每个隔室均出现大量颗粒污泥,4个隔室中粒径>0.5 mm的颗粒达到57.6%～72.7%;A反应器仅第1隔室中形成了大量颗粒污泥,其他3个隔室中粒径>0.5 mm的颗粒仅占11.3%～34.7%.COD去除率稳定保持在85%以上所需时间,B反应器比A反应器少用了51 d.

问歇曝气周期对低C/N比污水生物脱氮的影响

研究了间歇曝气生物脱氮工艺中,曝气周期和污水的c/N比对脱氮效率的影响,以及氧化还原电位(ORP)变化规律.中试试验结果表明,TN污泥负荷为0.05 kg/(kg MLVSS.d)时,间歇曝气系统的硝化反应所需曝气时间与总反应时间比至少要在0.5以上,一周期内搅拌时间不宜超过1 h;反硝化过程中难以找到ORP曲线突变点,因此,在低c/N比污水生物脱氮中ORP难以作为工程控制参数;由于原水的碳氮比太低,TN去除率只有35%～40%左右,为提高脱氮效率有必要投入外加碳源.
