Enhanced biodegradation of chlorobenzene via combined Fe3+ and Zn2+ based on rhamnolipid solubilisation

Biotrickling filters (BTFs) for hydrophobic chlorobenzene (CB) purification are limited by mass transfer and biodegradation. The CB mass transfer rate could be improved by 150 mg/L rhamnolipids. This study evaluated the combined use of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ to enhance biodegradation in a BTF over 35 day. The effects of these trace elements were analysed under different inlet concentrations (250, 600, 900, and 1200 mg/L) and empty bed residence times (EBRTs; 60, 45, and 32 sec). Batch experiments showed that the promoting effects of Fe³⁺/Zn²⁺ on microbial growth and metabolism were highest for 3 mg/L Fe³⁺ and 2 mg/L Zn²⁺, followed by 2 mg/L Zn²⁺, and lowest at 3 mg/L Fe³⁺. Compared to BTF in the absence of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺, the average CB elimination capacity and removal efficiency in the presence of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ increased from 61.54 to 65.79 g/(m³?hr) and from 80.93% to 89.37%, respectively, at an EBRT of 60 sec. The average removal efficiency at EBRTs of 60, 45, and 32 sec increased by 2.89%, 5.63%, and 11.61%, respectively. The chemical composition (proteins (PN), polysaccharides (PS)) and functional groups of the biofilm were analysed at 60, 81, and 95 day. Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ significantly enhanced PN and PS secretion, which may have promoted CB adsorption and biodegradation. High-throughput sequencing revealed the promoting effect of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ on bacterial populations. The combination of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺ with rhamnolipids was an efficient method for improving CB biodegradation in BTFs.

Enhanced Fenton's destruction of non-aqueous phase perchloroethylene in soil systems

The Fenton's system is applied to the destruction of perchloroethylene (PCE) present as a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) in soil slurry systems; the initial concentration of PCE was 45 times higher than its aqueous solubility. Studies were conducted in two matrices: Ottawa sand and soil from Warsaw, IN. In Ottawa sand, a 60-62% decrease in PCE concentration was observed, and Cl(-) recovery was 47-58%, whereas in Warsaw soil, a 44-49% decrease in PCE concentration and a Cl(-) recovery of 40-42% were observed after the addition of 600 mM H(2)O(2) and 10 mM dissolved iron. Significantly enhanced destruction resulted during application of N-(2-hydroxyethyl) iminodiacetic acid (HEIDA) to Warsaw soil. For example, in the absence of HEIDA in Warsaw soil, 36% PCE loss and 33% Cl(-) release were observed at 600 mM H(2)O(2) and 5 mM Fe(III), while 74% PCE loss and 63% Cl(-) release were achieved at 600 mM H(2)O(2) and 5 mM Fe(III)-HEIDA. For both soils, the catalytic activities of Fe(II) and Fe(III) were nearly equivalent. These findings clearly demonstrate that system design can be optimized with regard to process variables in Fenton's treatment of DNAPL in soils.     

有机酸强化Fe(Ⅲ)还原介导的Shewanella oneidensis MR-1降解磺胺甲噁唑

在实验室条件下,研究了Shewanella oneidensis MR-1对磺胺甲噁唑（Sulfamethoxazole,SMX）的降解特性以及低分子有机酸强化Fe（Ⅲ）还原介导的S.oneidensis MR-1对SMX的降解.结果表明,S.oneidensis MR-1对不同浓度SMX的降解能力与体系中的有机酸和Fe（Ⅲ）密切相关.低浓度SMX对其生长影响不大,高浓度时细菌生长则受到抑制,进而抑制SMX的降解率.当低分子有机酸单独加入体系后,S.oneidensis MR-1对SMX的最大降解率为58.5%;Fe（Ⅲ）单独加入体系后,S.oneidensis MR-1对SMX的最大降解率为67.6%.此外,当柠檬酸和Fe（OH）₃同时加入体系后,S.oneidensis MR-1对SMX生物降解和铁还原作用促进效果最显著,培养5 d后SMX降解率为90.3%.最后,采用液相色谱-质谱联用仪（LC-MS）对SMX的降解中间产物进行了分析,推测SMX的可能降解途径是由S-N键断裂引起的.本研究以期为地下水污染场地修复提供理论依据.

为了实现大件运输车辆作用下独柱墩弯桥倾覆风险的快速预测,首先对基于刚体转动理论的简化计算方法进行改进,引入车辆转弯模型考虑车轮轨迹,实现车辆荷载的准确和快速加载,定义了稳定因子η 并提出质心加载法用于确定倾覆轴线;结合变形体理论,提出采用端点偏移的方法对倾覆轴位置进行修正;采用阈值法快速评价桥梁的倾覆风险性,并通过建立ABAQUS 实体模型分析了大量桥梁的倾覆过程,确定阈值[kc]的取值;在此基础上建立了独柱墩弯桥倾覆风险快速预测流程。研究结果表明：大件车以稳定状态通过弯桥时其质心轨迹为一圆弧;对倾覆轴线位置进行修正可以考虑主梁变形能力对稳定效应的削减,相比于原简化方法,由改进方法计算的抗倾覆稳定能力kc 对桥梁的倾覆风险具有更强的表征能力;抗倾覆稳定能力阈值取值为1.10;基于MATLAB 程序语言,编制了弯桥倾覆风险快速预测程序,通过批量输入大件车待通行线路上的独柱墩弯桥信息即可计算出各个桥梁的抗倾覆稳定能力kc,将kc与抗倾覆能力阈值进行比较从而预测出有倾覆风险的桥梁,实现大件车作用下独柱墩弯倾覆风险快速预测。
