Reversibility of the structure and dewaterability of anaerobic digested sludge

The reversibility of the structure and dewaterability of broken anaerobic digested sludge(ADS)is important to ensure the efficiency of sludge treatment or management processes.This study investigated the effect of continuous strong shear(CSS)and multipulse shear(MPS)on the zeta potential,size(median size,d_(50)),mass fractal dimension(D_F),and capillary suction time(CST)of ADS aggregates.Moreover,the self-regrowth(SR)of broken ADS aggregates during slow mixing was also analyzed.The results show that raw ADS with d_(50) of 56.5μm was insensitive to CSS–SR or MPS–SR,though the size slightly decreased after the breakage phase.For conditioned ADS with d_(50) larger than 600μm,the breakage in small-scale surface erosion changed to large-scale fragmentation as the CSS strength increased.In most cases,after CSS or MPS,the broken ADS had a relatively more compact structure than before and d_(50) is at least 200μm.The CST of the broken fragments from optimally dosed ADS increased,whereas that corresponding to overdosed ADS decreased.MPS treatment resulted in larger and more compact broken ADS fragments with a lower CST value than CSS.During the subsequent slow mixing,the broken ADS aggregates did not recover their charge,size,and dewaterability to the initial values before breakage.In addition,less than 15%self-regrowth in terms of percentage of the regrowth factor was observed in broken ADS after CSS at average velocity gradient no less than 1905.6 sec~(-1).     

融雪对土壤溶解性有机质溶析作用的影响

利用土壤浸提实验和土柱淋洗实验,考察了化学离子的种类与浓度对进入融雪径流的土壤溶解性有机物(DOM)的含量和光谱学特性的影响,以及不同化学特征的积雪融化过程中土壤DOM的释放规律.土壤浸提实验结果表明,随着Na~+、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中的溶解性有机碳(DOC)浓度显著降低;随着Cl~-、SO_4~(2-)、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中波长254 nm处的紫外吸光度(UV-254)逐渐降低;随着Na~+和Mg~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中单位浓度DOC的紫外吸收值(SUVA)值逐渐升高.NO_3~-、SO_4~(2-)和Na~+的浓度过高或过低时,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光峰强度较低;随着Cl~-、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸荧光峰强度逐渐降低.土柱淋溶实验结果表明,类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光物质是土壤淋滤液中的主要荧光物质.与纯水相比,融雪水作为淋洗液导致土壤淋滤液中DOC浓度的降低,以及类微生物代谢产物荧光峰强度的增高.冻融交替抑制DOM自土壤解吸进入淋滤液,并且导致土壤淋滤液中芳香族化合物相对含量的降低.     

石化废水易降解成分对活性污泥耗氧抑制毒性评价的干扰因素

为评价某石化混合废水的毒性,采用活性污泥耗氧速率抑制试验研究不同φ(石化废水)对活性污泥中不同菌群的抑制及其影响因素. 结果表明,所用石化废水对活性污泥中的硝化细菌具有明显毒性,其EC₅₀(半抑制效应浓度,以φ计)为9%左右;同时,该废水对异养菌的耗氧具有较强的促进作用,φ(石化废水)为100%时I_H(异养菌耗氧速率抑制率,131%)最高,这种促进作用对R_T(总耗氧速率)测定有显著影响(R=0.991,P<0.05),因此,仅以R_T评价废水毒性容易造成对废水真实毒性的低估. 5种常见易降解基质(乙酸钠、葡萄糖、甲醇、生活污水、丙酸钠)中,ρ(甲醇)为15 mg/L时对异养菌促进效果显著(P<0.05),促进率达50%以上;而在高浓度条件下,乙酸钠、葡萄糖、甲醇、丙酸钠对异养菌均有显著促进作用(P<0.05),R_H(异养菌耗氧速率)最高提高了182%. 研究显示,石化废水中的乙酸盐等易降解成分是活性污泥耗氧速率抑制试验的重要干扰因素.      

回归模型法推导油菜田土壤Cd限值的不确定性

为研究土壤-作物迁移模型推导农田土壤环境基准的不确定性,以油菜为例,通过贵州省4种典型微酸性土壤——红壤、黄壤、石灰土和黄棕壤进行Cd盐添加的盆栽试验,除全量Cd外,选择5种有效态提取剂,分别与油菜籽w(Cd)建立土壤-作物迁移模型. 参照GB 13078—2001《饲料卫生标准》w(Cd)限值(0.5 mg/kg),采用模型预测中位值和95%预测上限进行土壤Cd限值推导并分析模型的不确定性. 结果表明:全量和各提取态Cd质量分数与油菜籽w(Cd)均能建立极显著的一元(R2为0.907~0.946)或多元(考虑pH)回归模型(R2为0.875~0.962). 5.550(以多元模型中位值推导的农田安全种植油菜的Cd限值)随pH的升高从0.93 mg/kg增至1.45 mg/kg,HNO₃提取态、HCl提取态、DTPA提取态的Cd的质量分数也分别从0.81、0.97、0.73 mg/kg升至1.39、1.79、1.66 mg/kg. 基于CaCl₂提取态Cd的一元模型对pH不敏感,SEQS₅₀不受其影响. 对所有模型而言,SEQS₅₀是SEQS₉₅(基于模型95%的预测上限推导的限值)的1.1倍左右. 其中,CaCl₂提取态Cd的SEQS₅₀和SEQS₉₅分别为0.052和0.049 mg/kg,小于福建省CaCl₂提取态Cd标准限值(0.15 mg/kg). 为降低不确定性,需要选择合适的提取剂,使用全量Cd,HNO₃、HCl或DTPA 3种提取态Cd建模时须兼顾pH的影响. 研究显示,SEQS₉₅能够降低土壤Cd限值达标而作物Cd含量超标的可能性.

Microbial bioavailability of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the sediments of Lake Shankou, Northeastern China

Dissolved organic nitrogen(DON)extracted from Lake Shankou sediments using KCl was isolated into hydrophobic and hydrophilic fractions.The bioavailabilities of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic fractions to three types of bacterial communities collected from sediments,activated sludge and compost products were examined.The DON recoveries obtained by DAX-8 and cation exchange resins treatment were 96.17% ± 1.58% and 98.14% ±0% for the samples obtained from N4 and N14 stations,respectively.After 25 days of incubation at 25°C,most DON(59% to 96%)was degraded.Hydrophilic DON exhibited a higher reduction rate than hydrophobic DON during the growth phase.Untreated wastewater from Changshuihe town was the main degradable DON source to station N4,and 93% of hydrophilic DON and 80% of hydrophobic DON were degraded.Station N14 received a large amount of refractory DON from forest soils and exhibited DON degradation rates of 82% and 71% for the hydrophilic and hydrophobic fractions,respectively.Amino acid contents and fluorescence intensities were also analyzed.Approximately 27% to 74% of amino acids were taken up by day 5,and their concentration gradually increased in the following days due to the decomposition of dissolved proteins.Parallel factor analysis resulted in identification of tryptophan-like proteins,tyrosine-like proteins and FA-like substances.During the growth phase,40%–51% of the tryptophan-like proteins were taken up by bacteria,and the accumulation of tyrosine-like proteins was attributed to the release of biotic substances.The concentration of the FA-like substances decreased due to microbial decomposition.
