Use of ammoniacal nitrogen tolerant microalgae in landfill leachate treatment

Two microalgae, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Chlamydomonas snowiae, were isolated from a high ammonia leachate pond in Li Keng Landfill, Guangzhou, China. Their growth and nutrient removal rates were determined in a serial dilution of landfill leachate under laboratory conditions, and their growth rates were compared with that of a C. pyrenoidosa strain isolated from a clean river. The results indicated the growth of all three algae was inhibited by high leachate concentrations, and the inhibition appears linked to high ammonia (ammoniacal-N670mgL(-1)). Significant amounts of ammoniacal-N, ortho-P and COD in the leachate were removed by the algae, with a positive correlation between algal growth and nutrient consumption. Not enough data are available to conclude that one strain was less inhibited by ammoniacal nitrogen or more effective at treating it. Phytotoxicity of leachate was reduced after algal growth, as demonstrated by a seed germination experiment with Brassica chinensis. The germination rates in 10%, 30% and 50% concentrations of algal-treated leachate were significantly higher than those in the same concentration but algal-free leachate.

两种淹水模式下施用钝化材料对镉污染农田水稻安全生产的影响

为实现镉(Cd)污染农田稻米安全生产,以中度Cd污染农田为研究对象,通过连续2 a的大田试验,对比分析了间歇性淹水和全生育期淹水2种淹水模式下,玉石粉、生物炭和粉煤灰这3种钝化材料施用后对土壤pH,有效Cd和稻米Cd含量的影响.结果 表明:①单一淹水处理下,全生育期淹水和间歇性淹水处理均可提高土壤pH,土壤有效Cd降低...
