排水管道沉积物控制的研究进展

排水管道沉积物雨天受冲刷而造成的河湖水体污染,已成为当前我国水环境质量持续改善面临的困境之一。深入了解管道沉积物及其沉积机制对水体污染治理至关重要。综述了管道沉积物的形成与特性,微生物或沉积物中胞外聚合物(extracellular polymeric substance,EPS)的主要组分和相关性质对沉积物抗冲刷特性的影响。结果显示:排水管道沉积物主要是由污水携带的固体颗粒发生沉降而形成,主要包含底层粗颗粒沉积物、有机层和生物膜3类。由于沉积物中富含微生物并可分泌EPS,而EPS的黏性能显著增加管道沉积物的抗冲刷性。通过控制或降解沉积物EPS中的多糖组分,可降低沉积物的抗冲刷性能,有望为控制管道沉积物淤积提供新思路。目前国内外控制管道沉积物淤积的方法主要包括离线和在线水力冲刷或机械清淤。今后的研究方向应着力在真实的排水管网中系统地研究沉积物耐冲刷特性及其影响因素,进而提出更为有效的控制技术。     

芬顿与氧化钙联合处理填埋库污泥的力学特性

面对城市生活污泥填埋库容趋于饱和的现状,亟需研究开发城市生活污泥的减量化及资源化技术。以填埋库污泥和新鲜污泥为研究对象,进行岩土工程特性实验,发现填埋库污泥有机质含量及含水率远低于新鲜污泥。通过固结实验和直剪实验,分别对比、分析了未加药剂的填埋库污泥和药剂调质填埋库污泥的固结系数、渗透系数和抗剪强度变化规律。结果表明：填埋库污泥在pH为4时,芬顿试剂(硫酸亚铁和过氧化氢)的最佳配比为Fe²⁺=8%、H₂O₂=12%;当氧化钙投加量增加时,调质污泥的压缩指数减小,抗剪强度略微增大;考虑到联合处理后污泥的资源化利用、强碱性对环境的影响和处理成本,在实际污泥处理工程中,氧化钙投加量15%是较为合适的添加量,且效果优于常用的氯化铁药剂调制污泥。经芬顿与氧化钙联合处理的填埋库污泥抗剪强度满足填埋库要求,能够实现减容减量,对填埋库污泥后续资源化利用具有一定的指导意义。     

DOC removal paradigms in highly humic aquatic ecosystems

Background, aim, and scope  Dissolved humic substances (HS) usually comprise 50–80% of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in aquatic ecosystems. From a trophic and biogeochemical perspective, HS has been considered to be highly refractory and is supposed to accumulate in the water. The upsurge of the microbial loop paradigm and the studies on HS photo-degradation into labile DOC gave rise to the belief that microbial processing of DOC should sustain aquatic food webs in humic waters. However, this has not been extensively supported by the literature, since most HS and their photo-products are often oxidized by microbes through respiration in most nutrient-poor humic waters. Here, we review basic concepts, classical studies, and recent data on bacterial and photo-degradation of DOC, comparing the rates of these processes in highly humic ecosystems and other aquatic ecosystems. Materials and methods  We based our review on classical and recent findings from the fields of biogeochemistry and microbial ecology, highlighting some odd results from highly humic Brazilian tropical lagoons, which can reach up to 160 mg C L⁻¹. Results and discussion  Highly humic tropical lagoons showed proportionally lower bacterial production rates and higher bacterial respiration rates (i.e., lower bacterial growth efficiency) than other lakes. Zooplankton showed similar δ¹³C to microalgae but not to humic DOC in these highly humic lagoons. Thus, the data reviewed here do not support the microbial loop as an efficient matter transfer pathway in highly humic ecosystems, where it is supposed to play its major role. In addition, we found that some tropical humic ecosystems presented the highest potential DOC photo-chemical mineralization (PM) rates reported in the literature, exceeding up to threefold the rates reported for temperate humic ecosystems. We propose that these atypically high PM rates are the result of a joint effect of the seasonal dynamics of allochthonous humic DOC input to these ecosystems and the high sunlight incidence throughout the year. The sunlight action on DOC is positive to microbial consumption in these highly humic lagoons, but little support is given to the enhancement of bacterial growth efficiency, since the labile photo-chemical products are mostly respired by microbes in the nutrient-poor humic waters. Conclusions  HS may be an important source of energy for aquatic bacteria in humic waters, but it is probably not as important as a substrate to bacterial growth and to aquatic food webs, since HS consumption is mostly channeled through microbial respiration. This especially seems to be the case of humic-rich, nutrient-poor ecosystems, where the microbial loop was supposed to play its major role. Highly humic ecosystems also present the highest PM rates reported in the literature. Finally, light and bacteria can cooperate in order to enhance total carbon degradation in highly humic aquatic ecosystems but with limited effects on aquatic food webs. Recommendations and perspectives  More detailed studies using C- and N-stable isotope techniques and modeling approaches are needed to better understand the actual importance of HS to carbon cycling in highly humic waters.

为考察不同接种污泥培养好氧硝化颗粒污泥的可行性,分别采用絮状活性污泥和厌氧颗粒污泥作为接种污泥,在气升内循环序批式反应器(SBAR)中进行好氧硝化颗粒污泥的培养,探讨不同性质的种泥对好氧硝化颗粒污泥的培养及其性能影响。结果表明,以絮状活性污泥、厌氧颗粒污泥为接种污泥均可培养出好氧硝化颗粒污泥,其颗粒成熟时间分别为62和80 d,SVI为25.52和27.68 mL/g,氨氮去除率为93.15%和75.43%,COD去除率在90%以上, SOUR、Zeta和EPS显著提高,微生物活性及疏水性能增强,以絮状活性污泥培养的好氧硝化颗粒污泥性能更优。     

改进型石灰混凝法去除城市污水二级出水中有机物的研究

将石灰混凝处理后的沉淀泥渣进行回流，对石灰混凝法进行改进，研究改进后的石灰混凝法对城市污水二级出水中有机物的去除效果。结果表明，活性泥渣回流有利于提高石灰混凝法对城市污水二级出水中有机物的去除。回流位置在石灰投加前、复合絮凝剂投加后，最佳回流量为新泥渣产生量的100％～200％，活性泥渣回流的最佳pH为11．0～11．5；活性泥渣中CaCO3、Mg(OH)2、Fe(OH)3等沉淀物以及有机高分子絮体均有助于提高其对有机物的去除效果，其中Mg(OH)2沉淀物起主导作用；含循环泥渣的活性污泥回流，对有机物的去除效果无明显影响。     

脉冲曝气活性污泥胞外聚合物的产生特性及其与脱氮效率的关系

为探讨脉冲曝气活性污泥胞外聚合物（EPS）的产生特性及其与脱氮效率的关系,研究了在脉冲曝气装置中曝气时间5 min及停曝时间10 min的条件下,松散结合型胞外聚合物（LB-EPS）与紧密结合型胞外聚合物（TB-EPS）的变化规律,并分析EPS与脱氮效率之间的关系。结果表明：脉冲曝气活性污泥LB-EPS的含量低于TB-EPS含量,且随着脉冲驯化的进行,EPS的含量持续增长。三维荧光图谱（3D-EEM）分析表明脉冲曝气的LB-EPS的色氨酸荧光峰产生红移,TB-EPS的色氨酸荧光强度增大,说明了脉冲曝气驯化过程导致了活性污泥胞外聚合物中色氨酸蛋白类物质含量呈增加趋势。对比研究表明：脉冲曝气氨氮（NH4+-N）去除率在80%左右,与连续曝气相近;而总氮（TN）去除率在50%左右,高于连续曝气20%。脉冲曝气下,EPS对于脱氮有抑制作用,EPS与NH4+-N及TN的去除率之间呈负相关的关系,LB-EPS与TN去除率之间负相关;TB-EPS与NH4+-N去除率负相关且关系显著。     

载体内微孔孔径对生物膜特性及废水处理效果的影响

为解决载体內部微孔孔径在废水生物膜法中缺乏选型依据的问题,采用5种孔径(0.6~4 mm)聚氨酯海绵生物载体构建了SBBR,考察了载体内微孔孔径对生物膜特性(MLSS、EPS、DHA)及废水处理效果的影响,分析了载体内部微孔孔径与生物膜特性的相关性。结果表明：载体内微孔孔径与MLVSS、MLSS呈显著负相关,而与PN、PS、EPS和f呈显著正相关;高生物量使小孔径载体(0.6 mm,1 mm)在反应器运行前中期拥有最佳的废水处理效果,同时过多的生物膜在微孔环境中会堵塞内部的通道和空穴,进而抑制传质,使生物膜活性(DHA、f )降低;而大孔径载体(4 mm)内部传质快、水力剪切作用强,加速生物膜解吸脱落速率,促进了生物膜活性的提高与EPS(主要是TB-EPS)的释放,但同样限制了生物膜量的增长。相较而言,中等孔径载体(2 mm,3 mm)适宜的微孔不仅能维持适量的微生物量,还能保持良好的生物膜结构和活性,为生物膜反应器提供良好的长期运行条件和处理效果。     

剩余污泥发酵液对黏性膨胀污泥特性的影响

为了解决剩余污泥碱性发酵液作为低碳氮比生活污水外加碳源时引发的黏性污泥膨胀问题,采用序批式反应器(SBR),以剩余污泥碱性发酵液为进水碳源,对黏性膨胀污泥的沉降性能及其影响因素之间的相关性进行了系统研究。结果表明：当进水COD值为300~350 mg·L⁻¹时,随着运行时间的推移,污泥容积指数(SVI)逐渐升高,最终达到540 mL·g⁻¹,此时发生污泥黏性膨胀现象;黏性膨胀污泥表面负电荷由0.62 mV累积到29.49 mV,相对疏水性(RH)从44%下降至19%,污泥容积指数(SVI)与Zeta电位、相对疏水性(RH)呈负相关(R²分别为0.837 71和0.678 54),与污泥粒径不相关;胞外聚合物总量从31 mg·g⁻¹提高至39 mg·g⁻¹,但LB-EPS/TB-EPS的比例从0.92增加至2.92;与TB-EPS相比较,LB-EPS与污泥容积指数(SVI)、Zeta电位、相对疏水性(RH)具有显著相关性(R²分别为0.892 88、0.885 29和0.776 68)。以上结果揭示了以发酵液为碳源引发的黏性膨胀污泥特性的变化规律,可为实际工程中以发酵液为碳源的黏性污泥膨胀问题提供借鉴。     

广州冬季气溶胶中水溶性有机物和类腐殖质的吸光性和荧光光谱特性

利用紫外-可见光谱与三维荧光-平行因子分析法(EEM-PARAFAC),研究了广州市2014年12月～2015年1月大气气溶胶中水溶性有机物(WSOC)和类腐殖质(HULIS)的吸光性和荧光光谱特征.结果表明,广州冬季气溶胶中HULIS的芳香性(SUVA254)、腐殖化程度(HIX)和光吸收效率(MAE365)均高于WSOC.利用EEM-PARAFAC从WSOC和HULIS解析出了类富里酸(C1)、类腐殖酸(C2)和类蛋白(C3)这3种荧光组分.其中类腐殖质组分(C1+C2)分别占WSOC和HULIS中总荧光组分的78%和85%,说明类腐殖荧光组分是WSOC和HULIS的最主要组成,且HULIS富集了更多的WSOC中主要的类腐殖组分.另外,灰霾期的WSOC和HULIS表现出更高的芳香性、腐殖化程度和C2组分,说明灰霾期有助于大分子量吸光性有机质的形成.相关性分析结果显示,WSOC和HULIS的C1组分相对含量与HIX、MAE365、OCsec、K+、SO_4~(2-)和NH_4~+呈现极显著的负相关关系,而C2与它们之间存在极显著的正相关关系.由此说明,WSOC和HULIS中C1的降低和C2的增加会引起它们的腐殖化程度和光吸收能力的增强;同时生物质燃烧排放和二次气溶胶过程可能有助于C2组分的增加.
