Effects of nitrite on phosphate uptake in anaerobic-oxic process

An anaerobic-oxic (A/O) biological phosphorus removal reactor was operated to study the effect of nitrite on phosphate uptake. The phosphorus uptake profile was determined under different operating conditions. The results indicated that in addition to oxygen and nitrate (DPB_Na, nitrate denitrifying phosphorus removal), to some extent, nitrite could also serve as an electron acceptor to achieve nitrite denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPB_Ni). The quantity and rate of phosphorus uptake of DPB_Ni, however, were evidently lower than that of DPB_Na. The experiment results revealed that nitrite would bring toxic action to phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) when NO₂ ^?-N ? 93.7 mg/L. The nitrite existing in the anoxic reactor made no difference to the quantity and rate of denitrifying phosphorus removal, but it could reduce the consumption of nitrate. Moreover, the data showed that the aerobic phosphate uptake of DPB_Ni was lower than that of anaerobic phosphorus-released sludge in a traditional A/O process. However, there was not much difference between these two kinds of sludge in terms of the total phosphorus uptake quantity and the effluent quality.     

高效氯氰菊酯急性暴露中斑马鱼相关酶活性和基因表达变化

高效氯氰菊酯广泛地应用于农业生产及日常生活中的害虫防治,但对水生生物却毒性极高。为探究高效氯氰菊酯对斑马鱼的急性毒性,以总超氧化物歧化酶(总SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和乙酰胆碱酯酶(ACh E)活性以及相关的基因表达量变化为检测指标,研究其对斑马鱼成鱼的影响。急性毒性试验结果显示,高效氯氰菊酯对斑马鱼属剧毒物质,斑马鱼的急性中毒症状为身体蜷曲、抽搐,鳃盖扇动加快,游动能力减弱,间歇性出现无规律急速游动和撞壁行为。酶活测定结果显示,斑马鱼组织中总SOD、CAT和ACh E活性与高效氯氰菊酯呈现低浓度诱导、高浓度抑制的剂量效应关系;相关基因表达量的检测结果显示,高效氯氰菊酯会诱导斑马鱼肝脏、肠和脑中Sod1、Cat以及Ache的m RNA表达上调。研究表明,高效氯氰菊酯的神经毒性和氧化损伤共同造成了斑马鱼的中毒甚至死亡。     

我国重点流域地表水中29种农药污染及其生态风险评价

针对我国重点流域水体,包括长江流域、黄河流域、太湖流域、松花江流域、黑龙江流域、东江流域、南水北调中线和东线等,分析了29种农药(18种有机氯农药、6种有机磷农药、3种三嗪类农药、1种酰胺类和1种取代杂环类农药)在流域地表水中浓度,并使用风险商的方法进行了生态风险评价。结果显示,在27个采样点地表水样中一共检出9种农药,包括α-六六六、α-氯丹、γ-氯丹、西玛津、阿特拉津、乙草胺、扑草净、敌敌畏和噁草酮。其中,阿特拉津、乙草胺、扑草净、噁草酮和敌敌畏的检出率分别为100.0%,74.1%,59.3%,37.0%和33.3%;α-六六六、α-氯丹、γ-氯丹和西玛津均只有1~2个采样点检出。阿特拉津在各采样点浓度范围为7.0 ng·L-1~1 289.5 ng·L-1;乙草胺浓度范围为未检出(ND)~579.9 ng·L-1;扑草净浓度范围为ND~104.2 ng·L-1;噁草酮浓度范围为ND~32.6 ng·L-1;敌敌畏的浓度范围为ND~204.5 ng·L-1。研究发现,阿特拉津在太湖流域、黑龙江流域和松花江流域具有潜在生态风险;乙草胺在松花江流域有潜在生态风险;噁草酮在长江流域、太湖流域、松花江流域和黑龙江流域有潜在生态风险;敌敌畏在长江流域、黄河流域和东江流域具有潜在生态风险。上述4种需要重点关注的水体污染物中,仅阿特拉津和敌敌畏被列入地表水环境质量标准(GB3838-2002),但都没有保护水生生物或保护水生态的标准。     

有机污染物的被动采样材料-水分配系数的QSAR研究

污染物的被动采样材料-水分配系数(K_(PW))是衡量被动采样器性能和进行优化的一个重要指标,由于实验方法难以逐个测定众多污染物的K_(PW)值,有必要发展其KP W预测方法。本研究选取聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯酸酯(PA)和硅橡胶(SR)3类常用的被动采样材料共7种,采用多元线性回归分析方法构建可用于K_(PW)预测的定量构效关系(QSAR)模型。所构建的QSAR模型具有良好的拟合优度(R2a dj介于0.806~0.989)、稳健性(Q2L O O和Q2B O O T分别介于0.786~0.988和0.773~0.801)和预测能力(R_(ext)~2和Q_(ext)~2分别介于0.769~0.989和0.757~0.982),可以用于预测烷烃、烯烃、芳香类、醇类、酮类、酯类、醚类等多种有机污染物的log KP W值。有机污染物的log KP W与分子Mc Gowan体积(Vx)、氯原子个数(n Cl)、环周长(Rperim)、多重键个数(n BM)、N,O极性贡献的拓扑极性表面积(TPSA(NO))、[-N(=)=]结构个数(Ndds N)和羟基个数(nROH)等参数有关。

利用水解池取代初沉池,实现初沉池功能的同时达到污泥减量并改善出水水质,以满足后续脱氮除磷对碳源的要求。实验结果表明:在进水水质不稳定的情况下,水解池对SS平均去除率为81.8%,高于初沉池60.8%的平均去除率,水解池可以更加有效地截留SS。水解池实现高SS去除率的同时,能够实现污泥减量,水解池的污泥水解率为50.60%。在实验规模条件下,与初沉池相比,污泥减量92.31 kg/d,并且水解池出水VFA浓度较初沉池出水提高30.89 mg/L,SCOD/COD比值提高19.9%,水解池可提高出水水质。     

Preliminary study on effects of tourism on Mosuo matriarchal culture

The ethnic communities of Lugu Lake have experienced the rapid development of tourism because of the attractions of their culture and traditional customs as well as their beautiful environment. Tourism and other economic activities have a variety of socio-cultural effects on host communities. Based on a survey of 105 Mosuo families, statistic correlation analysis was used to examine the local people's viewpoints regarding marriage, language, traditional dress, diet, and factors which could lead to changes in people's opinions. The results show that although Mosuo people are more open to the outside world, Axia relationships and matrilineal families still dominate their life. More than 50% of interviewees have Axia relationships and live in matrilinear families. Tourism income, education and age are three important factors that impact on local people's viewpoints regarding their culture and life. People who are more educated and earn more money from tourism prefer traditional culture and customs. The younger generation is more likely to be affected by tourism because they have contact with the outside world more often in their everyday life. Further research is needed on how to protect the local culture from the boom in tourism, as well as how to minimise its influence on local residents.     

不同强度冷刺激对大鼠心脏、大脑、睾丸和肺脏中CIRP表达的影响

采用Western blot和实时荧光定量RT-PCR方法,研究不同强度不同时间冷刺激后大鼠心脏、大脑、睾丸和肺脏中冷诱导RNA结合蛋白(CIRP)的表达情况.结果表明:常温(20℃±1℃)下大鼠4种组织中均存在一定的CIRP的表达;急性冷刺激组(-10℃±1℃、-4℃±1℃、0℃±1℃、4℃±1℃)心脏、大脑和睾丸中CIRP mRNA表达在冷刺激0～6 h呈上升趋势,6 h时达到最高值,随后呈下降趋势,肺脏中CIRP mRNA表达在0～6 h呈下降趋势,在6 h时达到最低值,随后呈上升趋势;慢性冷应激组(10℃±1℃)大鼠心脏、大脑和睾丸3种组织中CIRP mRNA在不同时间点(1周、2周、3 W周)的表达均高于正常对照组(P>0.05),肺脏CIRP mRNA表达均低于对照组(P>0.05),并且同一组织不同时间点之间差异不显著(P>0.05).可见冷刺激后CIRP的表达存在一定规律并且表现出组织特异性,可能与组织保护特异性有关.     

双酚A对小鼠肝脏和肾脏细胞的氧化损伤

为探究双酚A(BPA)的氧化毒性,分别以剂量为20、40和80mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)的BPA对雄性昆明小鼠灌胃处理1周,并测定了小鼠体内活性氧自由基(ROS)水平、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量和DNA-蛋白质交联系数(DPC)。与对照组相比,各BPA暴露组小鼠肝脏和肾脏细胞中的ROS生成量、MDA含量和DPC系数均升高,而GSH含量下降(P<0.05或P<0.01)。ROS生成量、GSH含量和DPC系数均显示出剂量-效应关系。研究表明,BPA可扰乱小鼠肝脏和肾脏细胞的氧化应激平衡,诱导细胞氧化损伤。

光纤光栅感温火灾报警系统探测器在外浮顶原油罐上敷设间距的研究

光纤光栅感温火灾报警系统在石油化工行业储罐区等易燃易爆场所得到应用,但目前尚没有相关的国家级设计规范,且安徽省和湖北省地方设计规范关于感温探测器敷设间距的要求存在较大差异,有必要开展深入研究。以外浮顶原油罐为例进行研究,获得了差温和定温两种探测方式在两种敷设高度下,其敷设间距与罐径之间的关系表达式,二者呈正相关。研究结果表明,初起阶段火源功率与罐径呈线性关系且火源功率较小,按照地方规范设置敷设间距时,难以对其进行及时探测,应加大敷设密度;差温探测比定温探测方式具有更为快速探测报警优势且可以设置较大的敷设间距。
