Biodegradation of typical azole fungicides in activated sludge under aerobic conditions

Widespread use of azole fungicides and low removal efficiency in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have led to the elevated concentration of azole fungicides in receiving environment. However, there was limited research about the removal mechanism of azole fungicides in the biological treatment of WWTPs. Imidazole fungicide climbazole and triazole fungicide fluconazole were selected to investigate the biodegradation mechanism of azole fungicides in activated sludge under aerobic conditions. Climbazole was found to be adsorbed to solid sludge and resulted in quick biodegradation. The degradation of climbazole in the aerobic activated sludge system was fitted well by the first-order kinetic model with a half-life of 5.3 days, while fluconazole tended to stay in liquid and had only about 30% of loss within 77 days incubation. Ten biotransformation products of climbazole were identified by high resolution mass spectrometry using suspect and non-target screening method. But no biodegradation products of fluconazole were identified due to its limited removal. The possible biodegradation pathways for climbazole were proposed based on the products identification and pathway prediction system, and involves oxidative dehalogenation, side chain oxidation and azole ring loss. The findings from this study suggest that it should be a concern for the persistence of fluconazole in the environment.     

An improved method of direct chromosome preparation from chorionic villus and high resolution banding technique

The trophoblast was dissociated from the underlying mesenchymal layer either with acetic acid after short-term prefixation or with mechanical power after fixation twice. The colcemid treatment time was shorted to 16 min and trypsin solution of low pH (6.2) was used for banding. By these steps, the quality of chromosome banding was greatly improved and complete standard chromosome diagnoses were made in 24 of 24 cases. With the modified technique, high resolution banding chromosomes were consistently obtained after short-term incubation.     

城市污泥过热蒸汽薄层干燥初始段凝结特性

为了解过热蒸汽干燥初始阶段的凝结特性,在自制的常压过热蒸汽干燥实验台上,进行了2、4、6与10 mm污泥薄层在过热蒸汽温度160、200、240和280℃下干燥初始段的凝结试验,建立了凝结段物料水分比随时间变化的拟合方程。实验结果表明,过热蒸汽薄层干燥初始阶段存在凝结过程,过热蒸汽凝结在物料表面使其质量不降反而增加,导致干燥时间延长;凝结水质量和干燥时间的增幅主要决定于过热蒸汽温度,过热蒸汽温度越高,增幅越小;污泥薄层厚度也会影响凝结水质量和干燥时间的增幅。采用二次方程模型拟合干燥初始段水分比随时间的变化,得到4个样品拟合的决定系数R2值为0.984~0.999,卡方χ2值为5.79×10-6~5.85×10-5,均方根误差RMSE为6.45×10-4~1.77×10-3。     

覆盖土催化甲烷生物氧化的材料优选与动力学模型

填埋场覆盖材料在甲烷减排中起至关重要的作用,但覆盖材料的筛选及其生物特性的有效评估仍存在困难。以重庆地区填埋场覆盖土为甲烷氧化材料建立反应器,通过材料复配和含水量等影响因子优化手段强化了氧化效果,最大甲烷氧化效率高达32.40 mol·（d·m2） -1。以经典Monod方程和固定床轴向扩散模型为基础,推演了反应器中甲烷的迁移转化过程,以稳态方程对监测结果拟合,结果十分理想（R2=0.94~0.99）,能够较好地描述甲烷在反应器中的扩散和氧化过程。甲烷浓度为13%~28%时,推演半饱和常数KS为0.007~0.016 g·L-1,与以往报道（KS为0.06~2.07 g·L-1）相比表明该覆盖材料对甲烷有较强的亲和氧化能力。该研究成果为覆盖材料的优选和生物特性评估提供了指导。     

活性碳纤维电极-生物膜反应器对废水的强化脱氮性能

利用自制的活性碳纤维电极-生物膜反应器对低碳氮比(碳元素与氮元素的质量比)废水进行了脱氮实验.实验结果表明:当进水COD和碳氮比较低时,碳氮比和电流密度均对反应器的脱氮性能有很大影响;当碳氮比小于3.0时,出水的ρ(NO3--N)随进水碳氮比的增大而减小;当进水COD为70 mg/L,ρ( NO3--N)为35 mg/L、碳氮比为2.0、电流密度为0.025 mA/cm2、反应时间为8h时,出水的ρ(NO3--N)达到最低值11.2 mg/L,NO3--N去除率为68.0％.在适宜的碳氮比条件下,电极-生物膜反应器具有显著的强化脱氮作用,其对NO3--N的去除率与单纯生物膜反应器相比可提高6.0～15.0个百分点.保持碳氮比不变,提高进水COD会导致所需电流密度的提高和脱氮能力的下降.

前置反硝化生物脱氮工艺实现亚硝酸氮积累的试验研究

通过试验实现了前置反硝化工艺亚硝酸氮的积累,从温度、pH值、游离氨(FA)浓度、污泥龄、溶解氧(DO)浓度等几个影响亚硝酸氮积累的主要因素逐一分析.采用中试装置在常温条件下处理实际生活污水.在试验开始阶段DO浓度维持在0.5mg/L,出现了亚硝酸氮的积累,随后提高DO浓度到1.5 mg/L以上,亚硝酸氮积累现象随之消失,最后又降低系统中的DO浓度到0.5 mg/L附近,亚硝酸氮积累现象再次出现,由此得出DO是实现亚硝酸氮积累的关键因素.试验发现有效地控制DO浓度在0.5 mg/L可实现亚硝酸氮比较持久稳定的积累.     

Potential acute effects of suspended aluminum nitride (AlN) nanoparticles on soluble microbial products (SMP) of activated sludge

The study aims to identify the potential acute effects of suspended aluminum nitride (AlN)nanoparticles (NPs) on soluble microbial products (SMP) of activated sludge. Cultured activated sludge loaded with 1, 10, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L of AlN NPs were carried out in this study. As results showed, AlN NPs had a highly inverse proportionality to bacterial dehydrogenase and OUR, indicating its direct toxicity to the activated sludge viability. The toxicity of AlN NPs was mainly due to the nano-scale of AlN NPs. In SMP, AlN NPs led to the decrease of polysaccharide and humic compounds, but had slight effects on protein. The decrease of tryptophan-like substances in SMP indicated the inhibition of AlN NPs on the bacterial metabolism. Additionally, AlN NPs reduced obviously the molecular weight of SMP, which might be due to the nano-scale of AlN.     

混菌接种条件下微生物燃料电池芯片的产电特性研究

微生物燃料电池(MFC)芯片因具有体积小、运行条件温和、产电稳定等优点而有可能成为一种新型的野外水环境监测系统中传感器供能方式.但目前采用纯菌种及贵重金属阳极构建的MFC芯片,不仅成本较高且纯菌种在复杂环境条件下不易存活和保持稳定.因此,本文通过采用混合菌群接种,以活性炭为阳极,构建了阳极体积为50μL的MFC芯片,发现其稳定运行最大输出电流为3.5μA,平均运行周期为8.0 h,最大输出功率约为160 nW,最大功率密度为10.2 mW·m-2.EIS分析结果表明,MFC芯片的总内阻约为35.6 kΩ,其中,阴阳极内阻占主要部分.本研究制备的MFC芯片产电性能达到了同类采用纯菌株及Au作阳极的MFC芯片的性能,表明采用低成本材料为阳极,接种混合菌液的MFC芯片是完全可行的.
