Pentachlorophenol induced physiological-biochemical changes in Chlorella pyrenoidosa culture

Present study investigated physiological and biochemical changes in a green alga culture (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) upon exposure to varied concentrations of pentachlorophenol (PCP) (0, 0.4 mgL(-1), 2.5 mgL(-1) and 10 mgL(-1)). The results revealed that with the increase of PCP concentration, a decrease of the algal biomass, levels of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid), soluble protein and an increase of nitrate reductase (NR) activity were observed. This suggests that the PCP may serve as an uncoupler, causing low ATP level within the algal cells and led most of the NR molecules to be in the dephosphoration state (i.e. active from). Moreover, it shows that photosynthetic pigments especially carotenoid were more sensitive indicators to indicate PCP toxicity as compared to the other parameters.

不同工况条件对Carrousel氧化沟脱氮除磷影响研究

采用Carrousel氧化沟处理实际生活污水,考察了DO、TCOD/TN和污泥回流比对氧化沟单沟内同步脱氮除磷效果的影响。结果表明,在相同HRT、污泥回流比、TCOD/TN比的工况下,氧化沟系统对TN、TP的去除率随着DO浓度的增加而降低;在相同HRT、污泥回流比、DO的工况下,氧化沟系统对TN、TP的去除率随着TCOD/TN比的增加而提高;在相同HRT、DO和TCOD/TN比的工况下,氧化沟系统对TN的去除率随着回流比的增加而提高,而对TP的去除率随着回流比的增加而降低。     

万家寨引黄北干线桑干河道输水水质模拟与控制

主要对采用河道输水方案的山西万家寨引黄北干线桑干河道水质进行模拟与控制研究,依据各水体特性建立河流水质数值模型和水库数值模型,运用系统分解方法将整个研究河道分解为若干个河段,并采用情景分析方法生成3个水质模拟情景,分析模拟结果表明,在山阴取水口和怀仁取水口水质达地表水Ⅲ类标准条件下,册田水库的入水水质不达标。应用反演思想生成2个水质控制情景和3个子情景,在水库出水口水质达标的情况下,分析确定沿河各排污口的污染物排放控制量,给出了保证册田水库水质安全的控制方法。     

鄱阳湖老爷庙水域细菌群落组成分析

通过提取鄱阳湖老爷庙水域水体细菌总DNA, 构建细菌16SrRNA基因文库和序列测定等手段,以期揭示鄱阳湖老爷庙水域的细菌群落组成并探讨细菌多样性与湖泊水体理化参数之间的关系。研究结果认为：来自老爷庙水域的2006年10月（PN06 10）和2007年5月 (PN07 5) 的细菌文库中的180个阳性克隆产生了66个细菌分类操作单位（OTUs）,这些细菌主要分属于：变形菌Alpha 纲,Beta 纲,Gamma 纲,Epsilon 纲,拟杆菌门,放线菌门,浮霉菌门,酸杆菌门和OP10等9大类型。2006年10月老爷庙水域的优势菌群为Beta 变形菌;2007年5月优势菌群为Gamma 变形菌和拟杆菌,表明鄱阳湖细菌组成在不同的季节显著不同。进一步系统发育分析表明：大部分细菌的最相似序列来源于淡水,湖泊和土壤的未培养细菌,且部分细菌与环境污染物降解有关     

Analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans in various aqueous samples in Taiwan

Twenty-one fresh water samples were taken from reservoirs, wells and drinking water treatment plants in Taiwan for measurement of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) concentrations. Due to low concentration of PCDD/Fs, water samples (400-1000 L) were collected by using the on-site large volume pre-concentration system and analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC)/high resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS). Different characteristics of dioxin profiles in surface water and groundwater are observed. The PCDD/F concentrations in fresh water samples varied from 0.001 to 0.265 pg WHO₉₈-TEQ/L which are lower than the standard (12 pg WHO₉₈-TEQ/L) set by the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (TEPA) for drinking water. Only a small fraction (<5%) of the total PCDD/F concentration in fresh water samples was water-soluble. As a result of their hydrophobicity, PCDD/Fs are effectively removed along with suspended solid via the water treatment process (average 98% removal efficiency).     

基于土壤侵蚀模型的滑波临界雨量估算探讨

针对滑坡临界雨量确定目前存在的问题,提出一种基于土壤侵蚀模型的滑坡临界雨量估算的新方法。该方法基本思路是：降雨引起土壤侵蚀,当土壤侵蚀达到一定强度时可诱发滑坡,因此利用土壤侵蚀模型可以推算滑坡临界雨量。以湖北省秭归县为例进行试验,从降雨-土壤侵蚀-滑坡的成灾机理入手,利用卫星资料、地理信息资料及降雨资料,计算降雨侵蚀力、土壤可蚀性、地形（坡长、坡度）、植被覆盖和土地利用类型等因子,基于USLE土壤侵蚀模型,计算滑坡发生时土壤侵蚀强度,通过分析多个滑坡个例,确定滑坡临界土壤侵蚀强度,再根据降雨侵蚀力与降雨量之间的关系,推算不同预警点滑坡临界雨量。相比以往仅仅分析灾情与降雨之间关系的传统方法,该方法有较为清晰的物理意义,实际业务中也易于实现,在滑坡预警预报中有较高实用价值     

Anthropogenic N2O production from landfill leachate treatment

The results of a field survey and laboratory study indicated that nitrogenous landfill leachate treatment can be a significant potential source of N2O emission. Nil (raw leachate) to 58.8ngmL(-1)h(-1) (sequential batch reactor) N2O emission was detected at five treatment plants in South China. The production and emission of N2O was especially high soon after the raw leachate was aerated. The emission was positively correlated with the dissolved N2O content in leachate; detected dissolved N2O ranged from 0 to 1309ngmL(-1). All leachate treatment plants studied were effective in NH4+-N removal (>95%); however, the highest N2O emission was estimated to be 0.25g N2Ocapita(-l)year(-1), comparable with the rate of N2O emission in conventional sewage treatment process.
