植物收割频率对水生植物滤床深度处理养猪废水的影响

采用水生植物滤床系统深度处理养猪废水,开展了不同收割频率条件下系统对污水净化效果的对比研究。实验结果表明,当水力负荷为5 cm/d时,植物收割频率的增加会降低系统对TN和TP的去除效果,而对COD的去除效果则无明显影响。当不进行植物收割时,系统对养猪废水的净化效果最好,对COD、TN和TP的平均去除率分别为71.26%、34.32%和29.52%。因此,合适的植物收割频率是强化APFB系统处理效果的关键因素。

天然矿物组合材料渗透反应墙修复地下水镉污染

实验模拟地下环境,以天然矿物材料石灰石、海泡石和膨润土作为可渗透反应墙(PRB)填充材料,采用正交实验法设计了16种可渗透反应器,研究了天然矿物组合材料组配对污染地下水模拟液中镉污染的修复效果、出水pH、有效孔隙度和渗透系数的影响,同时对机理进行了分析。实验结果显示,组合材料对镉去除率达99.8%以上,石灰石对处理效果贡献最大,增加石灰石用量,处理效果明显改善,当石灰石含量为10%及更高时,对含镉1.0 mg/L的污染地下水模拟液处理后镉浓度低于0.7μg/L,达到地下水质量标准GB/T 14848-93规定的II类水质标准;石灰石用量的增加对渗透系数影响不大,但出水pH呈弱碱性(7pH9),随反应时间延长逐渐降低并稳定于8。增加海泡石和膨润土用量对处理效果改善作用不大,但显著降低体系渗透系数,影响透水性。以正交实验直观分析法计算得到修复效果最优的PRB填充材料组配为石灰石/海泡石/膨润土=20/10/2(质量分数)。     

Mating patterns in three <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bufo andrewsi</Emphasis> populations at different latitude

Body size-dependent mating pattern is thought to a consequence of the sexual selection on phenotypic characters. In the view, we investigated the mating patterns in Bufo andrewsi from three populations at different latitude in three Nature Reserves (i.e. Wanglang, Yele and Fengtongzhai) in China from early- March to late-May 2013 and 2014. The results showed that average body size did not differ significantly between amplectant and non-amplectant males within each population. We found a significantly positive relationship in body size between the amplectant males and amplectant females in Wanglang population, but not in Qiqiao and Yele populations. The strength of size-dependent mating was not correlated with the malebiased operational sex ratios (OSRs), suggesting that intensity of male-male competition at nights do not result in variation in size-dependent mating patterns in B. andrewsi among populations.     

Low-cost adsorbent prepared from sewage sludge and corn stalk for the removal of COD in leachate

Sewage sludge (SS) with corn stalk (CS) was used to prepare SS-based activated carbon (SAC) by pyrolysis with ZnCl₂. The effects of mixing ratio on surface area and pore size distribution, elemental composition, surface chemistry, and morphology were investigated. The results demonstrated that the addition of CS into SS samples improved the surface area (from 92 to 902 m²/g) and the microporosity (from 1.2 to 4.1 %) of the adsorbents and, therefore, enhancing the adsorption performance. The removal of leachate chemical oxygen demand (COD) was also determined. It was found that the COD removal rate reached 85 % at pH 4 with the SAC (90 wt% CS) dosage of 2 % (g/mL) and an adsorption time of 40 min. The adsorption experimental data were fitted by both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Long-chain alkanes and refractory organics were found in raw leachate, but could be removed by SAC largely.     

Evaluation of spatial-temporal variations and trends in surface water quality across a rural-suburban-urban interface

Water quality degradation is often a severe consequence of rapid economic expansion in developing countries. Methods to assess spatial-temporal patterns and trends in water quality are essential for guiding adaptive management efforts aimed at water quality remediation. Temporal and spatial patterns of surface water quality were investigated for 54 monitoring sites in the Wen-Rui Tang River watershed of eastern China to identify such patterns in water quality occurring across a rural-suburban-urban interface. Twenty physical and chemical water quality parameters were analyzed in surface waters collected once every 4–8 weeks from 2000 to 2010. Temporal and spatial variations among water quality parameters were assessed between seasons (wet/dry) and among major land use zones (urban/suburban/rural). Factor analysis was used to identify parameters that were important in assessing seasonal and spatial variations in water quality. Results revealed that parameters related to organic pollutants (dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (manganese) (COD_Mn), and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD₅)), nutrients (ammonia nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP)), and salt concentration (electrical conductivity (EC)) were the most important parameters contributing to water quality variation. Collectively, they explained 70.9 % of the total variance. A trend study using the seasonal Kendall test revealed reductions in COD_Mn, BOD₅, NH₄ ⁺-N, petrol, V-phen, and EC concentrations over the 11-year study period. Cluster analysis was employed to evaluate variation among 14 sampling sites representative of dominant land use categories and indicated three, three, and four clusters based on organic, nutrient, and salt water quality characteristics, respectively. Factors that are typically responsible for water quality degradation (including population, topography, and land use) showed no strong correlation with water quality trends implying considerable point source inputs in the watershed. The results of this study help inform ongoing water quality remediation efforts by documenting trends in water quality across various land use zones.     

Biosorption of antimony(V) by freshwater cyanobacteria Microcystis from Lake Taihu,China: effects of pH and competitive ions

There is limited knowledge available on metalloid biosorption by freshwater algae. In this study, biosorption properties of anionic Sb(OH) ₆ ^? by naturally occurring cyanobacteria Microcystis were investigated as a function of initial pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, and addition sequences of competitive ions, and their binding mechanisms were discussed. The biosorption process was fast and equilibrium was reached at 2 h. Sb(V) biosorption decreased with the increase of pH and the optimum pH range was 2.5–3.0, which corresponded with the changes of surface charges of the cell wall of Microcystis. The biosorption data satisfactorily followed the Freundlich model. The simultaneous addition of H₂PO₄ ^? and Ca²⁺ enhanced Sb(V) biosorption, while NO₃ ^? greatly inhibited the biosorption, compared with single Sb(V) addition. The initial addition of the competitive ions reduced Sb(V) biosorption at higher Sb(V) concentrations, compared with simultaneous addition. A fraction of biosorbed Sb(V) was replaced by the competitive ions which were added subsequently, and the exchange only occurred at higher concentrations of Sb(V). 1.0 mol/L HCl demonstrated the highest desorption efficiency. Speciation analyses indicated that no reduction of Sb(V) into Sb(III) occurred. Based on the results of zeta potential and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy spectra, Sb(OH) ₆ ^? bound to the biomass through electrostatic attraction and surface complexation, and amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups were involved in the biosorption process. The study suggest that Microcystis from cyanobacteria blooms could be used as a potential biosorbent to remove Sb(V) from effluents at environmentally relevant concentrations (≤10.0 mg/L).

电解液对直流电场处理石油污染土壤的影响

直流电场处理石油污染土壤技术是一种发展中的土壤修复技术,有诸多优点。在该修复过程中,电解液的成分、电解液p H值控制对通过土壤的电流、土壤含水率、土壤含油率产生了影响。直流电场处理中通过土壤的电流与电解液成分、电解液p H值、土壤电导率和土壤湿度等因素密切相关。采用直流电场处理石油污染土壤效果明显,最低石油去除率达到73.6%。当电解液为0.1 mol/L的Na2CO3时,通过调节p H值,可使通过土壤的电流达到1.6 A、土壤电导率达到0.9S/m。处理后阴极、阳极和中间3个位置的土壤含油率分别从0.4672%降到0.0696%、0.0684%、0.0625%,石油去除率达到了85.1%。
