树皮配比对污泥生物-物理联合干燥中试的影响

污泥生物-物理联合干燥技术具有停留时间短、能耗低、减量显著等优势。研究利用自主研制的污泥生物-物理联合干燥反应系统考察了脱水污泥:树皮分别为5:3,7:3和9:3时,污泥生物-物理联合干燥过程中温度、含水率等参数的变化规律。结果表明,污泥温度随干燥时间的延长先增大后减小,含水率随反应时间延长逐渐降低。当脱水污泥:树皮的比例为7:3时,污泥温度迅速升高,在48 h达到3组辅料配比最大值59℃,而后迅速降低,经过168 h处理后含水率从78.6%降低到60.9%,获得水分去除率的最大值57.6%。向脱水污泥中添加适量树皮,能提高其生物-物理联合干燥过程中污泥温度,增强水分去除效果。     

青霉菌和镰刀菌对重金属Cd~(2+)、Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)和Pb~(2+)的吸附特性

研究了青霉菌和镰刀菌对重金属Cd2+、Cu2+、Zn2+和Pb2+的吸附特性,探讨了复合重金属和不同培养基对菌株吸附能力的影响.同时,采用察氏液体培养基(CDM)和马铃薯葡萄糖培养基(PDB)接种菌株,对不同种类和浓度的重金属进行吸附实验.结果表明,青霉菌和镰刀菌对Cd2+、Cu2+和Zn2+的吸附率随金属浓度的升高而下降,吸附量随金属浓度的增加先增大后减小;当浓度增加到较高值(300mg·L-1)时,Pb2+的吸附率开始下降,吸附量先逐渐增加后变化不大.菌丝体对重金属的吸附能力表现出一定的差异性,对Pb2+的吸附率和吸附量明显高于其他3种金属,CDM培养青霉菌对300mg·L-1Pb2+的最大吸附量达到34.80mg·g-1.多种重金属的复合抑制了菌丝体对重金属离子的吸附.不同菌丝体对复合重金属的吸附量差异性较大,PDB培养混合菌体对重金属离子的吸附率和吸附量均较大,并有明显的促进作用.CDM培养菌丝体对Pb2+的吸附量均高于PDB培养菌丝体.

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of walnut shell for alkylphenols production with nitrogen-doped activated carbon catalyst

• N-doped activated carbon was prepared for catalytic pyrolysis of walnut shell. • Alkylphenols were selectively produced from catalytic pyrolysis process. • The alkylphenols yield increased by 8.5 times under the optimal conditions. • Formation mechanism of alkylphenols was proposed. Alkylphenols are a group of valuable phenolic compounds that can be derived from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, three activated carbons (ACs) were prepared for catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of walnut shell to produce alkylphenols, including nitrogen-doped walnut shell-derived activated carbon (N/WSAC), nitrogen-doped rice husk-derived activated carbon (N/RHAC) and walnut shell-derived activated carbon (WSAC). Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) experiments were carried out to reveal the influences of AC type, pyrolytic temperature, and AC-to-walnut shell (AC-to-WS) ratio on the product distributions. Results showed that with nitrogen doping, the N/WSAC possessed stronger capability than WSAC toward the alkylphenols production, and moreover, the N/WSAC also exhibited better effects than N/RHAC to prepare alkylphenols. Under the catalysis of N/WSAC, yields of alkylphenols were significantly increased, especially phenol, cresol and 4-ethylphenol. As the increase of pyrolytic temperature, the alkylphenols yield first increased and then decreased, while high selectivity could be obtained at low pyrolytic temperatures. Such a trend was also observed as the AC-to-WS ratio continuously increased. The alkylphenols production achieved a maximal yield of 44.19 mg/g with the corresponding selectivity of 34.7% at the pyrolytic temperature of 400°C and AC-to-WS ratio of 3, compared with those of only 4.67 mg/g and 6.1% without catalyst. In addition, the possible formation mechanism of alkylphenols was also proposed with the catalysis of N/WSAC.     

Environmental effects and risk control of antibiotic resistance genes in the organic solid waste aerobic composting system: A review

• ARGs were detected in livestock manure, sludge, food waste and fermentation dregs. • The succession of microbial community is an important factor affecting ARGs. • Horizontal transfer mechanism of ARGs during composting should be further studied. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been diffusely detected in several kinds of organic solid waste, such as livestock manure, sludge, antibiotic fermentation residues, and food waste, thus attracting great attention. Aerobic composting, which is an effective, harmless treatment method for organic solid waste to promote recycling, has been identified to also aid in ARG reduction. However, the effect of composting in removing ARGs from organic solid waste has recently become controversial. Thus, this article summarizes and reviews the research on ARGs in relation to composting in the past 5 years. ARGs in organic solid waste could spread in different environmental media, including soil and the atmosphere, which could widen environmental risks. However, the conventional composting technology had limited effect on ARGs removal from organic solid waste. Improved composting processes, such as hyperthermophilic temperature composting, could effectively remove ARGs, and the HGT of ARGs and the microbial communities are identified as vital influencing factors. Currently, during the composting process, ARGs were mainly affected by three response pathways, (I) “Microenvironment-ARGs”; (II) “Microenvironment-microorganisms-ARGs”; (III) “Microorganisms-horizontal gene transfer-ARGs”, respectively. Response pathway II had been studied the most which was believed that microbial community was an important factor affecting ARGs. In response pathway III, mainly believed that MGEs played an important role and paid less attention to eARGs. Further research on the role and impact of eARGs in ARGs may be considered in the future. It aims to provide support for further research on environmental risk control of ARGs in organic solid waste.     

Exogenously applied oxalic acid assists in the phytoremediation of Mn by Polygonum pubescens Blume cultivated in three Mn-contaminated soils

• The OA supply significantly increased the water-extractable Mn in all soils. • All OA supply levels promoted plant growth in unexplored soil. • Low OA supply level promoted plant growth in explored and tailing soils. • OA amendment increased the Mn concentrations and total Mn in P. pubescens. • P. pubescens experienced less Mn stress in unexplored soil than in the other two soils. The current study evaluated the effects of oxalic acid (OA) application on the growth and Mn phytoremediation efficiency of Polygonum pubescens Blume cultivated in three different manganese (Mn)-contaminated soils sampled from an unexplored area (US), an explored area (ES) and a tailing area (TS) of the Ertang Mn mine, South China. The supplied levels of OA were 0 (control), 1 (low level), 3 (medium level), and 9 (high level) mmol/kg, referred to as CK, OA1, OA3 and OA9, respectively. The results revealed that the average water-extractable Mn concentrations US, ES and TS amended with OA increased by 214.13, 363.77 and 266.85%, respectively. All OA supply levels increased plant growth and Mn concentrations in US. The low OA supply level increased plant growth in ES and TS; however, contrasting results were found for the medium and high OA supply levels. Plant Mn concentrations and total Mn increased in ES and TS in response to all OA supply levels. Total Mn in the aerial parts increased by 81.18, 44.17 and 83.17% in US, ES and TS, respectively; the corresponding percentages for the whole plants were 81.53, 108.98 and 77.91%, respectively. The rate of ·O₂⁻ production and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations increased in response to OA amendment, especially the medium and high OA supply levels in ES and TS. In general, antioxidant enzymes might play a vital role in alleviating Mn stress in plants cultivated in US, while non-enzymatic antioxidants might be the main factor for plants cultivated in ES and TS.     

生物裂解效应对污泥脱水减量的作用研究

从市政污水处理厂活性污泥中筛选培养出噬菌型细菌,并通过噬菌型细菌的富集与投加,探讨其对市政污泥生物裂解预处理的有效性及其所受环境影响因素与作用规律.研究结果显示,市政污泥中存在具有污泥裂解作用的广谱性噬菌型细菌,宿主菌的投加量可影响噬菌型细菌的富集浓度,但培养基营养物组成浓度对噬菌型细菌的生长增殖无明显影响.当筛选出的噬菌型细菌以10⁶ pfu/mL（污泥）与中性市政污泥在室温下共存培养24h即可有效裂解污泥细胞,污泥比阻与污泥体积较未投加任何菌剂的参照污泥降低了36%和15%.并可导致胞内营养物的释放,污泥液相中总氮与总磷浓度较参照污泥分别上升了245%和242%,溶解性COD与总COD比值（SCOD/TCOD）则提高了195%,但生物裂解作用效果并不与裂解时间始终保持正相关性,最佳污泥生物裂解时间为24h.     

内质网应激介导的凋亡在PBDE-47致大鼠海马损伤中的作用

为了明确内质网应激(endoplasmic reticulum stress,ERS)介导的凋亡在2,2’,4,4’-四溴联苯醚(2,2’,4,4’-tetrabromodiphenylether,PBDE-47)致大鼠神经毒性中的作用,在脑发育的突增期(出生第10天),分别用0 mg·kg~(-1)、1 mg·kg~(-1)、5 mg·kg~(-1)和10mg·kg~(-1)PBDE-47进行单次灌胃染毒,并从出生第8天开始每天给予150 mg·kg~(-1)ERS抑制剂4-苯基丁酸(phenylbutyric acid,PBA),持续3周。仔鼠出生第8周末,从对照组、10 mg·kg~(-1)PBDE-47处理组、150 mg·kg~(-1)PBA处理组和150 mg·kg~(-1)PBA+10mg·kg~(-1)PBDE处理组中随机选取8只大鼠进行水迷宫实验。然后将所有动物断头处死,分离大鼠海马组织,观察其海马组织形态学改变、测定ERS标志分子(GRP78、IRE1和CHOP)和凋亡相关蛋白Cyt c的表达水平。结果显示,10 mg·kg~(-1)PBDE-47处理可导致雌性大鼠海马CA4区细胞排列紊乱、锥形神经细胞数量减少甚至消失,尼氏小体数量减少,大鼠逃避潜伏期延长(P0.05)。5和10 mg·kg~(-1)PBDE-47处理可显著上调ERS相关蛋白IRE1和CHOP的表达水平(P0.05),并明显增强海马组织凋亡相关蛋白Cyt c的表达。PBA干预可明显降低PBDE-47诱导的IRE1和CHOP以及Cyt c蛋白的表达水平,提示PBDE-47可通过ERS介导凋亡,导致大鼠海马组织损伤,从而影响大鼠学习记忆功能。
