环境样品中微塑料及其结合污染物鉴别分析研究进展

微塑料作为一种新型污染物,具有难以被彻底降解、在环境中分布广泛、易结合疏水性有机污染物和重金属等特性,已成为国内外学者研究的热点问题.近年来,微塑料在海水、淡水、沉积物、土壤和大气等环境介质中不断被报道,且数量不断增加,甚至在人口稀少的偏远地区均有微塑料的检出.微塑料尺寸较小极易被生物误食,微塑料及其结合的污染物对生态环境产生潜在风险.开展微塑料及其结合污染物鉴别分析技术是研究微塑料环境行为、生态毒理效应及风险防控的基础.本文梳理了微塑料的相关研究,总结和比较分析了不同介质(水体、土壤/沉积物、生物体、大气)中微塑料的采样、分离提取、定性(物理形态表征和化学组分鉴定)、定量(数量丰度和质量浓度)以及结合污染物的检测分析技术和方法,为相关领域的研究提供了方法学的参考.     

宝鸡高新区春节前后大气中黑碳浓度特征及来源解析

基于春节前后(2018年1月1日—2018年3月31日)宝鸡市高新区宝鸡文理学院站点的黑碳气溶胶(BC)、浊度仪、颗粒态污染物(PM_(10)、PM_(2.5)和PM_(1.0))、气态污染物(CO、NO_2、SO_2和O_3)的逐时数据及常规气象数据,对宝鸡市高新区BC气溶胶的时间变化特征、来源及影响因素进行分析.结果表明,观测期间BC质量浓度的变化范围为0.01—5.62μg·m~(-3),平均浓度为0.63μg·m~(-3).BC与风速和能见度均呈负相关.观测期间BC浓度日变化呈"双峰双谷"型,峰值出现在09:00和19:00,谷值出现在05:00和16:00;寒假前BC浓度昼夜变化整体高于寒假期间和春季开学,可能与寒假前频繁的人为活动,不易扩散的气象条件有关.BC占PM_(2.5)的0.84%,其吸收作用占大气消光的2.14%.除O_3外,BC日平均浓度与PM_(2.5)、CO和NO_2呈显著相关,相关系数分别为0.626、0.623和0.473,说明BC气溶胶与之均有部分共同源.     

温度对小叶海金沙生长的影响

用野外调查测定和室内模拟的方法研究了温度对小叶海金沙生长的影响.结果表明,小叶海金沙疯狂生长群落中的温度比正常生长群落高,且温度与其净光合速率呈极显著正相关,而这两种类型群落内大气相对湿度以及光照差异较小.此外,土壤养分和土壤pH与小叶海金沙的生长速度无明显的关联性.根据研究结果推测:温度可能是小叶海金沙疯狂生长原因之一.

烃是由碳和氢两种元素组成的稳定化合物,长期以来人们普遍认为烃的生物降解只能在好氧条件下进行.近年来国外的研究表明,厌氧微生物能以硝酸盐、硫酸盐、三价铁或二氧化碳等为电子受体代谢烃,烃厌氧代谢的初始反应机理主要有延胡索酸盐结合反应、羧化反应、羟基化反应和甲基化反应,但国内还未见相关报道.本文综述了烃厌氧降解微生物及其代谢机理,并以甲苯为例概述了烃厌氧生物降解过程中的起始反应酶和作用机制.结合国外烃厌氧降解的研究进展和本实验室的工作,作者也提出了自己的思考和看法.     

Relationship between sludge settleability and membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor

The evolution of activated sludge settleability and its relationship to membrane fouling in a submerged membrane bioreactor were studied at a lab-scale equipment fed with synthetic wastewater. It was found that sludge volume index (SVI) gradually increased and the sludge settleability was reduced, which was caused by the propagation of filamentous bacteria. With increasing SVI, the average increasing rate of trans-membrane pressure increased, the stable filtration period was shortened, and the two stages (smooth stage and accelerating stage) of the trans-membrane pressure were more obvious. At the same time, the increasing rate of trans-membrane pressure at the smooth stage decreased and the rate at the accelerating stage increased with SVI, respectively. The observation by using scanning electronic microscopes showed the cake layer with loose structure and large thickness formed on the membrane surface due to the appearance of filamentous bacteria and high SVI in sludge. Influence of the sludge settleability on the trans-membrane pressure was related to the structure and thickness of the cake layer on the membrane.

Effects of taxonomy,sediment, and water column on C:N:P stoichiometry of submerged macrophytes in Yangtze floodplain shallow lakes,China

Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the three most important essential elements limiting growth of primary producers. Submerged macrophytes generally absorb nutrients from sediments by root uptake. However, the C:N:P stoichiometric signatures of plant tissue are affected by many additional factors such as taxonomy, nutrient availability, and light availability. We first revealed the relative importance of taxonomy, sediment, and water column on plant C:N:P stoichiometry using variance partitioning based on partial redundancy analyses. Results showed that taxonomy was the most important factor in determining C:N:P stoichiometry, then the water column and finally the sediment. In this study, a significant positive relationship was found between community C concentration and macrophyte community biomass, indicating that the local low C availability in macrophytes probably was the main reason why submerged macrophytes declined in Yangtze floodplain shallow lakes. Based on our study, it is suggested that submerged macrophytes in Yangtze floodplain shallow lakes are primarily limited by low light levels rather than nutrient availability.

     

Responses of protists with different feeding habits to the changes of activated sludge conditions: A study based on biomass data

Changes of protists, which were categorized into different functional groups primarily according to their feeding habits, in two full-scale municipal wastewater treatment systems experiencing sludge bulking were investigated over a period of 14 months. Protist biomass represented 3.7% to 5.2% of total biomass on average under normal sludge conditions, and the percentage increased significantly (p < 0.05) under sludge bulking conditions. The biomass of Chilodonella spp., capable of eating filamentous bacteria, tended to decrease in both systems when sludge bulking occurred, showing that the abnormal growth of filamentous bacteria did not lead to a biomass bloom of this group of protists. On the other hand, the bactivorous protists represented more than 96% of total protist biomass, and the biomass of this group, particularly the attached ciliates, increased significantly (p < 0.05) when sludge bulking occurred. The significant increase of the attached ciliates may have possibly facilitated the growth of filamentous bacteria through selectively preying on non-filamentous bacteria and further exacerbated sludge bulking. The redundancy analysis and correlation analysis results showed that the biomass changes of the attached ciliates were primarily related to the sludge volume index and to some extent related to five-day biochemical oxygen demand loading and hydraulic retention time.
