Salinity and nutrient modulate soil bacterial communities in the coastal wetland of the Yellow River Delta,China

The Yellow River Delta is the largest and youngest estuarine and coastal wetland in China and is experiencing the most active interactions of seawater and freshwater in the world. Bacteria played multifaceted influence on soil biogeochemical processes, and it was necessary to investigate the intermodulation between the soil factors and bacterial communities. Soil samples were collected at sites with different salinity degree, vegetations, and interference. The sequences of bacilli were tested using 16S rRNA sequencing method and operational taxonomic units were classified with 97% similarity. The soil was highly salinized and oligotrophic, and the wetland was nitrogen-restricted. Redundancy analysis suggested that factors related with seawater erosion were principal to drive the changes of soil bacterial communities and then the nutrient level and human disturbance. A broader implication was that, in the early succession stages of the coastal ecosystem, seawater erosion was the key driver of the variations of marine oligotrophic bacterial communities, while the increasing nutrient availability may enhance in the abundance of the riverine copiotrophs in the late stages. This study provided new insights on the characteristics of soil bacterial communities in estuarine and coastal wetlands.

纳米零价铁和零价铁对餐厨垃圾暗发酵制氢过程铁离子和酶活性的影响

通过投加不同浓度的纳米零价铁(NZVI)和零价铁(ZVI),考察了暗发酵制氢过程中铁离子组成和浓度变化、氢化酶和脱氢酶活性,研究了2种添加剂强化餐厨垃圾高温((55±1) ℃)暗发酵制氢的作用机制。结果表明：投加NZVI和ZVI均可提高餐厨垃圾暗发酵制氢性能;当投加100 mg·L⁻¹ ZVI时,产氢效果最佳,最大产氢潜力和最大产氢速率分别为425.72 mL和66.32 mL·h⁻¹,是投加NZVI实验组的1.64倍和1.34倍,代谢途径是以乙醇型发酵为主的混合型发酵;在投加NZVI和ZVI后,暗发酵制氢末端产物的Fe²⁺和Fe³⁺浓度升高,投加300 mg·L⁻¹ NZVI和100 mg·L⁻¹ ZVI实验组Fe²⁺浓度最大,是未投加实验组的2倍和1.87倍;与反应前相比,Fe²⁺显著升高,Fe³⁺由于微生物利用与转化浓度降低,同时可有效提高氢化酶活性。投加100 mg·L⁻¹ ZVI不仅可提高氢化酶活性,还可提高脱氢酶活性。以上结果可为提高餐厨垃圾等复杂有机废物的高效能源化提供参考。     

Drought-tolerant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces pactum</Emphasis> Act12 assist phytoremediation of cadmium-contaminated soil by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Amaranthus hypochondriacus</Emphasis>: great potential application in arid/semi-arid areas

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation provides an effective approach to clean up heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, severe drought may affect the function of microbes in arid/semi-arid areas. Streptomyces pactum Act12 is a drought-tolerant soil actinomycete strain isolated from an extreme environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to assess the effect of Act12 on Cd tolerance, uptake, and accumulation in amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) under water deficit. Inoculated plants had higher Cd concentrations (root 8.7–33.9 %; shoot 53.2–102.1 %) and uptake (root 19.9–95.3 %; shoot 110.6–170.1 %) than non-inoculated controls in Cd-treated soil. The translocation factor of Cd from roots to shoots was increased by 14.2–75 % in inoculated plants, while the bioconcentration factor of Cd in roots and shoots was increased by 10.2–64.4 and 53.9–114.8 %, respectively. Moreover, inoculation with Act12 increased plant height, root length, and shoot biomass of amaranth in Cd-treated soil compared to non-inoculated controls. Physiochemical analysis revealed that Act12 enhanced Cd tolerance in the plants by increasing glutathione, elevating superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, as well as reducing malondialdehyde content in the leaves. The drought-tolerant actinomycete strain Act12 can enhance the phytoremediation efficiency of amaranth for Cd-contaminated soils under water deficit, exhibiting potential for application in arid and semi-arid areas.     

超积累植物与煤在混烧过程中重金属的迁移特性

通过在管式炉中进行了煤与超积累植物——伴矿景天的混烧实验,主要研究了不同燃烧温度、不同氮氧比气氛以及煤与伴矿景天的不同混合质量比对混烧过程中重金属(Cd、Zn与Pb)迁移情况的影响,并应用XRD技术分析灰渣中重金属的存在形式。实验分析表明:升高温度能在不同程度上增强Cd、Zn与Pb的挥发,提高其在飞灰中的含量;与单独燃烧伴矿景天相比,煤与伴矿景天混烧更有利于Cd和Zn保留在底渣中,但不利于Pb保留在底渣中;对于不同氮氧比气氛而言,Zn和Cd在底渣中的含量随着气氛中氧气含量的提高而升高,而气氛对Pb的影响是随着氧气含量的增加,Pb在底渣的含量是先增加后减少;当煤在混烧中的比例较高时,Cd更多向飞灰迁移,Pb和Zn则更多地残留于底渣。     

Fenton-like/TiO2催化介质阻挡放电体系对活性艳蓝的降解

为了提高等离子放电对染料的降解效率,研究了Fenton-like/TiO2耦合催化介质阻挡放电体系对活性艳蓝(X-BR)的脱色效果及降解机理。结果表明,投加Fe2+ 或Fe3+与TiO2组成的耦合催化体系可以显著提高X-BR的脱色率。反应10 min后,紫外可见扫描光谱和阴离子(Cl-、NO3-、SO42-)产量分析表明,介质阻挡放电体系可以有效破环蒽醌发色基团,耦合催化体系不仅强化了蒽醌结构的破坏,同时更加有效地破坏了苯环和萘环结构从而提高了TOC降解率。最后,比较研究了投加Mn2+ 和Cu2+对X-BR的脱色效果,在投加浓度均为0.5 mmol/L条件下,两者对X-BR的脱色起到抑制作用,因此,两者不适合作为耦合催化介质阻挡放电体系的添加离子。     

盐度对人工渗滤系统中煤渣和陶粒除磷过程的影响

以煤渣和陶粒作为填料,通过静态吸附实验对二者的磷吸附动力学和等温吸附过程进行模型拟合,并考察了不同盐度对人工渗滤系统吸附除磷的影响。静态吸附实验结果表明,零盐度下,Elovich模型和双常数模型可较好拟合煤渣吸附除磷过程,而陶粒更符合一级动力学模型,二者吸附机理取决于填料的理化性质;不同盐度下,二者等温吸附过程 Langmuir 方程的拟合效果要好于Freundlich方程;盐度增大总体呈现对磷吸附的抑制作用,但由于盐度增加导致溶液中阴离子与磷酸根离子激烈竞争填料表面吸附位点,二者的吸附量均在1%和1.5% 盐度之间出现反复。人工渗滤系统连续实验结果表明,系统整体受盐度影响趋势与静态吸附实验结果基本一致。
