Identifying the major fluorescent components responsible for ultrafiltration membrane fouling in different water sources

Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation–emission matrix(EEM) coupled with parallel factor analysis(PARAFAC) was performed for a total of 18 water samples taken from three water sources(two lakes and one wastewater treatment plant(WWTP) secondary effluent),with the purpose of identifying the major ultrafiltration(UF) membrane foulants in different water sources. Three fluorescent components(C1, C2 and C3) were identified,which represented terrestrially derived humic-like substances(C1), microbially derived humic-like substances(C2), and protein-like substances(C3). The correlations between the different fluorescent components and UF membrane fouling were analyzed. It was shown that for the WWTP secondary effluent, all three components(C1, C2 and C3) made a considerable contribution to the irreversible and total fouling of the UF membrane.However, for the two lakes, only the C3 exhibited a strong correlation with membrane fouling, indicating that the protein-like substances were the major membrane foulants in the lake waters. Significant attachment of C1, C2 and C3 to the UF membrane was also confirmed by mass balance analyses for the WWTP secondary effluent; while the attachment of C1 and C2 was shown to be negligible for the two lakes. The results may provide basic formation for developing suitable fouling control strategies for sustainable UF processes.     

投加FeSO4对序批式生物膜反应器中DHA、EPS和处理效果的影响

针对化学协同生物除磷过程,研究了序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)中FeSO_4对悬浮相活性污泥脱氢酶活性(DHA)、胞外聚合物(EPS)及系统处理效果的影响.结果表明,少量FeSO_4对DHA和EPS的分泌具有促进作用,但最佳投加量不一致,分别为0.10 mmol·L-1和0.20 mmol·L-1;大量的FeSO_4则会引发抑制.FeSO_4投加量少于0.30 mmol·L-1时会使污泥MLVSS、MLVSS/MLSS增加,超过0.30 mmol·L-1时则使MLVSS、MLVSS/MLSS下降,但MLSS和SVI随着FeSO_4投加量的增加分别持续增加和下降.FeSO_4对COD和TN的去除具有抑制作用,但并不显著,去除率分别在77%和72%左右;TP的去除效果明显改善,在投加量为0.30 mmol·L-1时效果最好.投加FeSO_4协同生物除磷时建议最佳投加量为0.30 mmol·L-1,此时污泥DHA被轻微抑制,但污泥浓度、EPS、TP去除率均已达到最大,出水水质满足一级A排放标准.     

Fate of the veterinary antibiotic 14C-difloxacin in soil including simultaneous amendment of pig manure with the focus on non-extractable residues

The fate of ¹⁴C-labeled difloxacin (¹⁴C-DIF) was studied in time course experiments after application on soil (Ap horizon of silt loam) and amendment of authentic DIF containing pig manure (146 mL kg^?1; 4.17 MBq kg^?1; 0.85 mg kg^?1) or water (124 mL kg^?1; 0.42 MBq kg^?1; 0.09 mg kg^?1) for 56 and 120 days of incubation, respectively.

Mineralization of ¹⁴C-DIF was below 0.2% in both experiments after 56 days or 120 days. In the course of the experiments, portions of extractable radioactivity (Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE); acetonitrile-water) decreased to 19–21% depending only little on manure amendment. Non-extractable residues of ¹⁴C-DIF increased to 70–74% after 56 days and 120 days, respectively, and therefore were the main route of ¹⁴C-DIF in soil. According to radioanalytical HPLC and LC-MS/MS, only the parent compound was found in all extracts over the whole time of the experiment. According to fractionation of the non-extractable residues (NER) into particle size fractions, ¹⁴C portions were associated to the water used for fractionation, the silt and clay fractions, whereas no radioactivity was detected in the sand fraction. The majority of ¹⁴C was found within the clay fractions.

Fractionation of humic components showed that radioactivity derived from ¹⁴C-DIF was associated with humic acids, fulvic acids, humins and minerals and very little with soluble, non-humic HCl fraction. The highest portions of radioactivity were found in the fulvic acid fraction. Results obtained by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) of the purified fulvic acids were similar for every sample analyzed. One large portion of ¹⁴C co-eluted with fulvic acids of a molecular weight below 910 g mol^?1. Both fractionation methods demonstrated that the parent compound DIF or initial metabolites were rapidly integrated into humic materials and, thus, were major components of NER.     

闽江口鳝鱼滩芦苇湿地沉积物甲烷产生与氧化潜力对外源物质输入的响应

研究河口湿地沉积物甲烷(CH4)产生和氧化对外源物质输入的响应,对环境保护及温室气体减排具有重要意义.本研究基于室内培养-气相色谱法,探讨了闽江河口半咸水芦苇(Phragmites australis)沼泽湿地沉积物CH4产生与氧化对不同外源物质(底物、电子受体和营养物质)输入的响应.结果表明:CH3OH(500 mg·kg-1)、C3H9N(500 mg·kg-1)和Fe2+(0~500 mg·kg-1)对CH4产生潜力起促进作用(p0.05);NO-3(0~500 mg·kg-1)、NO-2(0~500 mg·kg-1)、Fe3+(50 mg·kg-1)和NH+4(50~500 mg·kg-1)表现为抑制CH4产生潜力(p0.05);而0~50 mg·kg-1的CH3OH和C3H9N、0~500 mg·kg-1的CH3COOH、SO2-4、Mn4+、PO3-4和低剂量的NH+4(0~5 mg·kg-1)对CH4产生的影响不显著(p0.05).实验剂量内(0~500 mg·kg-1),Fe3+和Mn4+的添加可促进CH4氧化(p0.05);CH3COOH、CH3OH、C3H9N、NO-3、NO-2、SO2-4、NH+4和低剂量的PO3-4(0~50 mg·kg-1)对沉积物CH4氧化潜力均有显著的抑制作用(p0.05);而Fe2+对CH4氧化没有显著影响(p0.05).综合分析表明,CH3COOH、CH3OH、C3H9N、NO-3、NO-2、SO2-4、PO3-4、NH+4和Fe2+的输入对沉积物CH4产生和氧化的综合作用为增加CH4排放通量,而Fe3+和Mn4+输入的综合作用则与之相反.

Predicted taxonomic patterns in pheromone production by longhorned beetles

Males of five species of three tribes in the longhorned beetle subfamily Cerambycinae produce volatile pheromones that share a structural motif (hydroxyl or carbonyl groups at carbons two and three in straight-chains of six, eight, or ten carbons). Pheromone gland pores are present on the prothoraces of males, but are absent in females, suggesting that male-specific gland pores could provide a convenient morphological indication that a species uses volatile pheromones. In this article, we assess the taxonomic distribution of gland pores within the Cerambycinae by examining males and females of 65 species in 24 tribes using scanning electron microscopy. Gland pores were present in males and absent in females of 49 species, but absent in both sexes of the remaining 16 species. Pores were confined to indentations in the cuticle. Among the species that had male-specific gland pores were four species already known to produce volatile compounds consistent with the structural motif. These findings support the initial assumption that gland pores are associated with the production of pheromones by males. There were apparently no taxonomic patterns in the presence of gland pores. These findings suggest that volatile pheromones play an important role in reproduction for many species of the Cerambycinae, and that the trait is evolutionarily labile.
