Pattern of benthic biomass size spectra from shallow waters in the East China Seas

Benthic biomass size spectra (BSS) and normalized biomass size spectra were constructed, and benthic secondary production was estimated by a size spectrum equation in the shallow waters in the East China Sea, ranging latitudinally from 40°N to 29°N. The BSS patterns were bimodal, two biomass peaks corresponding to meiofauna and macrofauna, respectively, separated by a trough of low biomass at 8–256 μg individual dry weight which varied in position with median sediment particle size. The BSS also displayed bimodality within meiofauna size ranges, which in most stations was due to the relative proportions of nematodes and other meiofauna taxa. Re-analysis of data from sites in the UK, South Africa, and Antarctic showed a similar bimodality in the adult species body size distribution within the meiofauna size range. Macrofaunal production estimated by the size spectrum equation was very similar to the results of Brey90 empirical equation. However, these production values were much lower than those calculated by Brey01. Different individual dry-to-wet conversion ratios, temperature deviation, and macrofauna taxonomic composition might be responsible for the between-model differences. The macrofaunal P/B ratios calculated by this equation ranged from 0.3 to 3.4 which were in accordance with values from Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes. Meiofaunal production estimates will need further empirical support.     

Distribution and loadings of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Xijiang River in Guangdong, South China

The Xijiang River is the major tributary of the Pearl River, South China, and is the major source water system for more than 4.5 million of urban population and 28.7 million of rural population. We initiated a systematic study on detection and quantification of organic pollutants in both water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) for samples collected in a span of 12 months. Our results showed that total concentrations of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) varied from 21.7 to 138 ng l(-1) in water and from 40.9 to 665 microg kg(-1) in SPM. The organic carbon normalized distribution coefficients (K(OC)) computed for the PAHs were correlated well with their octanol-water partition coefficient (K(OW)). The estimated annual loadings of Ant, BaA, and BghiP and the total PAHs in the Xijiang River were 1620, 330, 177 and 19,400 kg, respectively. Further analysis of the data showed that combustion may be the major source of PAHs and that direct leakage of petroleum products may be insignificant.

Heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Shenzhen River,South China

With the analysis of eight heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) and sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments from the Shenzhen River, South China, the ecological risks associated were evaluated using Hakanson’s method (for the metals) and the Effect Range Low/Effect Range Median (ERL/ERM) method (for the PAHs). The result shows concentrations of heavy metal in the order Zn?>?Cu?>?Cr?>?Ni?>?Pb?>?As?>?Cd?>?Hg, and among which the Zn, Cu, Ni, and Pb are exceeding the maximum contaminant level for sediments while those of PAHs are far below. The potential ecological risk index value for the heavy metals in the sediment samples was 261.90, which is in the moderate risk category. Total PAH concentrations in the sediments ranged from 1,028 to 1,120 ng/g, which are all far lower than the sediment guideline concentration of 4,022 ng/g, indicating that the risks of biological impacts caused by PAHs in Shenzhen River sediments are, therefore, relatively low. Besides, the fluorene concentration was above the ERL, and would potentially cause negative biological effects in the Shenzhen River. Heavy metals risks are suggested among the most important concerns that the environmental recover measures pay attention to.     

Fe/TiO2光催化降解水溶液中的4-氯苯酚

以TiO2-P25及FeC2O4为前驱物制备了Fe3 掺杂TiO2光催化剂--Fe/TiO2.X射线衍射结果表明,500 ℃煅烧温度下的Fe/TiO2主要是锐态矿晶型,当掺Fe3 量为0.5%(质量分数,下同)时,Fe3 以取代掺杂形式进入TiO2晶格,而当掺Fe3 量达5.0%时,则出现α-Fe2O3的特征衍射峰;900 ℃煅烧温度下的Fe/TiO2则均为金红石晶型,掺Fe3 量达2.0%～5.0%时,出现Fe2TiO5的特征衍射峰.4-氯苯酚的光催化实验结果表明,煅烧温度及Fe3 掺杂量对Fe/TiO2的光催化活性有显著影响,以煅烧温度500 ℃及掺Fe3 量0.5%的Fe/TiO2为光催化剂,反应80 min,4-氯苯酚的降解率达100%,总有机碳去除率约95%.

利用美国EPA OH法对烟气中不同形态汞的气态汞进行测试,研究300 MW锅炉的袋式除尘、静电除尘和湿法烟气脱硫对气态汞的去除效果。研究结果表明,静电除尘器对气态汞的去除效率仅为32.50%,对颗粒态汞的去除效率达76.88%,而使用袋式除尘器对气态汞的去除效率可达44.33%,可脱除99.92%以上的颗粒态汞;应用湿法烟气脱硫对二价汞的去除率可达49.03%。通过对粉煤灰、炉渣和脱硫石膏等燃煤副产物汞含量分析发现,脱硫石膏中汞的含量最高达0.77 mg/kg,汞及其环境毒性是燃煤副产物安全利用时需要注意一个主要问题。     

基于SBBR的单级自养脱氮快速启动

以普通活性污泥为接种污泥,采用人工配制无机氨氮废水进行单级自养脱氮工艺快速启动研究。启动过程经历了污泥适应期、部分短程硝化选择期以及单级自养脱氮实现期3个阶段。经过29 d的培养驯化,通过控制游离氨的方法实现了部分短程硝化。当出水中亚硝酸盐积累率达到60%左右时,立即将序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)由连续曝气改为间歇曝气,间歇曝气使得厌氧氨氧化菌(AAOB)的富集与亚硝酸氧化菌(NOB)的淘汰同时进行,并且避免了高浓度亚硝酸盐对AAOB的抑制作用,从而实现了单级自养脱氮的快速启动。实验仅用50 d成功启动了SBBR单级自养脱氮工艺,总氮容积去除负荷达到0.173 kg N/(m3·d),氨氮的平均去除率达到98.68%,总氮的平均去除率达到80.87%。成功启动之后,反应器内只有少量的悬浮污泥,大部分的污泥都附着在填料上,污泥颜色呈褐色,而反应器内壁及出水管上附着的污泥呈浅砖红色,表明反应器内富集了大量的AAOB。     

厢式隔膜压滤机深度脱水最优过滤压力

利用Fluent软件选用混合模型,采用多孔介质模型对厢式隔膜压滤机单个滤室内污泥两相流体进行模拟仿真,得到不同过滤压力下滤室内流体的体积分数轮廓图、压强云图,得出滤饼含水率与过滤压力大小的关系。实验结果表明,模拟和实验结果具有较好的一致性。过滤压力在0.4 MPa到1.0 MPa之间,滤饼含水率随过滤压力的增大而大幅度下降;过滤压力1.0 MPa到1.6 MPa之间,滤饼含水率随过滤压力的增大,下降幅度较小;综合考虑能耗且获得低含水率的滤饼,过滤压力的合理取值为1.0 MPa。
