Biological stability in drinking water: a regression analysis of influencing factors

Some parameters, such as assimilable organic carbon(AOC), chloramine residual, water temperature, and water residence time, were measured in drinking water from distribution systems in a northern city of China. The measurement results illustrate that when chloramine residual is more than 0.3 mg/L or AOC content is below 50μg/L, the biological stability of drinking water can be controlled.Both chloramine residual and AOC have a good relationship with Heterotrophic Plate Counts( HPC)(Iog value), the correlation coefficient was-0.64 and 0.33, respectively. By regression analysis of the survey data, a statistical equation is presented and it is concluded that disinfectant residual exerts the strongest influence on bacterial growth and AOC is a suitable index to assess the biological stability in the drinking water.     

Analysis of the Effect of the Beavers‐Joseph Interface Condition on Flow in Karst Conduits1

Li, Guangquan, Yuan Cheng, and Bei Zhao, 2012. Analysis of the Effect of the Beavers‐Joseph Interface Condition on Flow in Karst Conduits. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 1‐8. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2012.00683.x Abstract: In this study, we derive an approximate analytic solution for the distribution of flow velocity in a cylindrical conduit and the surrounding media, and analyze the effect of differing parameters (e.g., conduit radius) on the velocity of conduit flow. The solution is then employed to estimate the thickness of the boundary layer inside the media. The results reveal that when conduit radius is large, the Beavers‐Joseph condition has only a minor effect on the velocity of conduit flow (such that the nonslip condition on the conduit wall still works pretty well), and the boundary layer is so thin that the wall can still be treated as the interface between fast water in the conduit and slow water in the media. The solution indicates that the velocity of conduit flow is the superposition of the velocity profile in the nonslip situation onto the slip velocity on the wall. Our study theoretically shows that the coupled continuum pipe flow model in MODFLOW‐2005 constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey is reasonable in that there is no need to consider the Beavers‐Joseph condition when simulating flow in karst conduits. The role of the boundary layer in transport and its effect on the hyporheic zone is not clear, which is a suitable topic for future study.     

七大区域不同温湿条件下臭氧浓度变化

近年来,我国臭氧（O₃）污染形势日趋严峻,在多地已超越PM_2.5成为大气环境的首要污染物.气象条件,尤其是温度和湿度对O₃生成的影响极大.因此,厘清并量化不同区域温度和湿度变化对O₃浓度的影响可为政府防治臭氧污染提供理论依据.通过分析2015年1月1日至2022年7月31日实测日最大温度（T_max）和相对湿度（RH）与臭氧日最大8 h滑动平均值（O₃-8h）的关系,发现臭氧污染严重的七大区域的O₃-8h与T_max呈线性正相关关系,温度惩罚因子范围为2.1~6.0 μg ·（m³ ·℃）^-1;O₃-8h与RH呈非线性关系,RH为55%时O₃-8h最高;不同区域对T_max和RH的敏感度稍有不同,总体上最适合O₃生成的气象条件为29℃≤T_max<38℃且40%≤RH<70%.长三角、苏皖鲁豫和长江中游地区在T_max≥35℃的极端高温条件下,O₃-8h停止随温度的上升而增长,反而出现下降现象,且往往伴随颗粒物浓度的小幅上升.这可能与部分前体物在水汽含量变高的情况下发生非均相反应及臭氧的非均相汇增加有关.

消毒副产物生成的温度影响和动力学模型

在水厂和供水管网中,加氯消毒副产物(DBPs)的生成浓度会随着季节转换和水温变化而出现明显波动.为了探究不同温度条件下DBP生成浓度的变化规律,本研究利用腐殖酸(HA)作为有机前体物进行加氯消毒,参照DBP统一生成条件(uniform formation condition,UFC),在不同水温下监测DBP[包括三卤甲烷(THM)和卤乙酸(HAA)]的生成浓度,并从动力学角度对该生成反应的机制做出分析,进而建立初步的浓度预测模型.结果表明,对于检测到的3种典型DBPs[三氯甲烷(CHCl3)、二氯乙酸(DCAA)和三氯乙酸(TCAA)],水温升高均能够明显提高其生成速率和最大生成浓度,其中后者随着温度的升高近似呈指数增长(R2>0.90).根据一级反应动力学模型对各组温度条件下的DBP实测值进行拟合,得到了较好的相关性(R2>0.94).为了进一步验证该动力学模型的准确性和可靠性,在20℃和30℃条件下分别采用该模型对DBP的实际生成浓度进行预测,并与实测值进行比较,均得到了良好的预测结果.为定量研究温度对DBP生成速率的影响规律,利用阿伦尼乌斯公式计算得到CHCl3、DCAA和TCAA的表观反应活化能分别为22.3、25.5和40.8 kJ.mol-1.

苯酚溶液对好氧颗粒污泥储存稳定性的影响

针对好氧颗粒污泥在长期储存过程中易出现的颗粒解体和微生物失活等问题,设置了浓度分别为30,60,100,150,200,300mg/L的苯酚溶液储存好氧颗粒污泥,并以蒸馏水为对照组,在室温下储存150d.考察储存期间各储存溶液中的好氧颗粒污泥特性变化情况.结果表明,储存150d后,60mg/L苯酚溶液中的好氧颗粒污泥具有较好的颗粒状结构和密实性,且其向储存溶液中释放的污染物质较少;200和300mg/L苯酚溶液中的好氧颗粒污泥也具有一定的结构完整性,但其颗粒结构强度较差.好氧颗粒污泥中的优势菌纲（黄杆菌纲、变形菌纲和放线菌纲）丰富度降低,梭状芽孢杆菌纲丰富度增加.60mg/L苯酚溶液中的环二鸟苷酸（c-di-GMP）浓度为14.38μg/gMLSS,与储存前相比下降了36.68%,300mg/L苯酚溶液中的c-di-GMP浓度为1.24μg/gMLSS,下降了94.54%.60mg/L苯酚溶液有利于好氧颗粒污泥中的黄杆菌纲分泌c-di-GMP信号分子,增加颗粒污泥储存稳定性.短期（1~70d）和长期（70~150d）储存好氧颗粒污泥,分别选用30和60mg/L苯酚溶液为储存溶液有利于维持颗粒污泥的微生物活性.     

污泥和鸡粪生物炭制备及其老化过程中的碳损失

生物炭具有高度的碳(C)稳定性,是一种良好的固碳材料.污泥富含无机矿物质,热解制备生物炭过程中其内源矿物会富集,影响固碳能力.在500、 600和700℃下制备市政污泥生物炭(SZB)、药厂污泥生物炭(YCB)和鸡粪生物炭(JFB),并模拟其在土壤中70～100 a老化过程,利用元素分析、傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、 X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、离子质谱仪(ICP)和X射线衍射(XRD)等分析手段,测定其理化性质并计算C损失.结果表明,热解过程中,生物炭内源矿物种类和质量分数决定生物炭C损失,其中Ca和Mg是主要的C保护矿物,而Fe的存在会降低生物炭C稳定性,增加C损失.老化过程中,生物炭C的自身稳定性对其C损失起主要作用,矿物起辅助作用.研究揭示了生物炭内源C和矿物组分对其C损失的影响规律,为利用污泥和鸡粪生物炭土壤固碳提供参考.     

Preparation of porous semi-IPN temperature-sensitive hydrogel-supported nZVI and its application in the reduction of nitrophenol

Nanoscale zero-valent iron(n ZVI) particles supported on a porous, semi-interpenetrating(semi-IPN), temperature-sensitive composite hydrogel(PNIPAm-PHEMA). n ZVI@PNIPAmPHEMA, was successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDS, XRD and the weighing method. The loading of nZVI was 0.1548 ± 0.0015 g/g and the particle size was30–100 nm. NZVI was uniformly dispersed on the pore walls inside the PNIPAm-PHEMA.Because of the well-dispersed n ZVI, the highly porous structure, and the synergistic effect of PNIPAm-PHEMA, nZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA showed excellent reductive activity and wide p H applicability. 95% of 4-NP in 100 m L of 400 mg/L 4-NP solution with initial p H 3.0–9.0 could be completely reduced into 4-AP by about 0.0548 g of fresh supported n ZVI at 18–25 °C under stirring(110 r/min) within 45 min reaction time. A greater than 99% 4-NP degradation ratio was obtained when the initial p H was 5.0–9.0. The reduction of 4-NP by nZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA was in agreement with the pseudo-first-order kinetics model with Kobsvalues of 0.0885–0.101 min-1.NZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA was able to be recycled, and about 85% degradation ratio of 4-NP was obtained after its sixth reuse cycle. According to the temperature sensitivity of PNIPAmPHEMA, n ZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA exhibited very good storage stability, and about 88.9%degradation ratio of 4-NP was obtained after its storage for 30 days. The hybrid reducer was highly efficient for the reduction of 2-NP, 3-NP, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol and 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol. Our results suggest that PNIPAm-PHEMA could be a good potential carrier, with n ZVI@PNIPAm-PHEMA having potential value in the application of reductive degradation of nitrophenol pollutants.
