Methanotrophic community structure of aged refuse and its capability for methane bio-oxidation

Aged refuse from waste landfills closed for eight years was examined and found to contain rich methanotrophs capable of biooxidation for methane. Specially, community structure and methane oxidation capability of methanotrophs in the aged refuse were studied. The amount of methanotrophs ranged 61.97 103–632.91 103 cells/g (in dry basis) in aged refuse from Shanghai Laogang Landfill. Type I and II methanotrophs were found in the aged refuse in the presence of sterilized sewage sludge and only Type I methanotrophs were detected in the presence of nitrate minimal salt medium (NMS). The clone sequences of the pmoA gene obtained from the aged refuse were similar to the pmoA gene of Methylobacter, Methylocaldum, and Methylocystis, and two clones were distinct with known genera of Type I methanotrophs according to phylogenetic analysis. Aged refuse enriched with NMS was used for methane biological oxidation and over 93% conversions were obtained.

丙烯气体最小点火能研究

为研究丙烯气体最小点火能随温度的变化规律,首先采用最小点火能测试系对甲烷气体进行了测试和评估,得到了不同温度下的最小点火能及其随温度的变化趋势。结果表明,可燃气体(或液体蒸气)敏感浓度均略高于其当量浓度。气体最小点火能随温度升高而增大。     

Effect of a high strength chemical industry wastewater on microbial community dynamics and mesophilic methane generation

A high strength chemical industry wastewater was assessed for its impact on anaerobic microbial com- munity dynamics and consequently mesophilic methane generation. Cumulative methane production was 251 mL/g total chemical oxygen demand removed at standard temperature and pressure at the end of 30 days experimental period with a highest recorded methane percentage of 80.6% of total biogas volume. Volatile fatty acids （VFAs） analysis revealed that acetic acid was the major intermediate VFAs produced with propionic acid accumulating over the experimental period. Quantitative analysis of microbial communities in the test and control groups with quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction highlighted that in the test group, Eubacteria （96.3%） was dominant in comparison with methanogens （3.7%）. The latter were dominated by Methanomicrobiales and Methanobacteriales while in test groups increased over the experimental period, reaching a maximum on day 30. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profile was performed, targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Eubacteria and Archaea, with the DNA samples extracted at 3 different time points from the test groups. A phylogenetic tree was constructed for the sequences using the neighborhood joining method. The analysis revealed that the presence of organisms resembling Syntrophomonadaceae could have contributed to increased production of acetic and propionic acid intermediates while decrease of organisms resembling Pelotomaculum sp. could have most likely contributed to accumulation of propionic acid. This study suggested that the degradation of organic components within the high strength industrial wastewater is closely linked with the activity of certain niche microbial communities within eubacteria and methanogens.     

Waste to energy—日本城市垃圾的能源化利用

<正>日本是垃圾能源化利用最发达的国家之一,垃圾分类很严格,原生垃圾是不能直接处理的。城市生活垃圾分类后,可燃组分由垃圾转运车收集送入垃圾焚烧厂,再经过机械筛选和人工分选,在焚烧炉内焚烧,产生的热能发电供给城市电网,部分余热用于一个城市公共游泳池;对于可生物降解的有机垃圾,如厨余垃圾等,进行甲烷发酵,发酵产生的沼气可以制备家用和车用燃气,也可用于发电。焚烧处理厂同时也是资源回收中心,家庭的大件垃圾如家具等,必须送回该厂处理,并交处理费。一些损

垃圾填埋场甲烷排放监测方法研究进展

甲烷是第二大重要的温室气体,而生活垃圾填埋场是第三大甲烷人为排放源。因此,作为全球变化研究的重要组成部分,填埋场甲烷排放监测具有重要意义。监测方法的理论基础是基于质量守恒定律的气体对流扩散规律,常用的监测方法包括通量箱法、微气象法、质量平衡法、示踪气体羽流法与气体羽流法等,各种方法都有其优缺点,但新的监测方法受到了越来越多的重视。     

降解纤维素产甲烷的四菌复合系

自然环境中通常是微生物群落协同完成纤维素的降解,构建可降解纤维素的混菌体系是认识微生物相互作用的关键.利用富集培养法,结合变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)指纹检测技术以及厌氧滚管技术,建立了一种筛选简单降解纤维素产甲烷复合菌系的方法.利用此方法从青藏高原若尔盖高寒湿地分离到一个由4株菌构成的降解纤维素产甲烷的稳定菌系.结果表明,该复合菌系由纤维素水解菌Clostridium glycolicum、非纤维素水解菌Trichococcus flocculiformis和Parabacteroides merdae、产甲烷古菌Methanobacterium subterraneum等具有不同功能的4种菌株组成,且在这4株菌的共同作用下可将纤维素直接转化为CH4.该简单复合系的获得为今后纤维素转化甲烷复合菌系的代谢控制和遗传改造提供了一个平台.

以浙江台州6家典型化学合成类制药企业为代表,对其排放工艺废气中的18项挥发性有机物(VOCs)特征污染物(如甲苯、甲醛、二氯甲烷等)进行监测和分析,并采用臭氧产生潜力(OFP)和健康风险评价指标对VOCs所产生的环境与健康危害进行初步的评价.结果表明,化学合成类制药企业排放的总VOCs浓度为14.9~308.6 mg·m-3,其产生环境危害的OFP值为3.1~315.1 mg·m-3,主要贡献物质为甲苯、四氢呋喃、乙酸乙酯等6种物质,存在较大的潜在环境危害.另外,健康危害中的非致癌风险指数和总致癌风险指数介于9.48×10-7~4.98×10-4a-1和3.17×10-5~6.33×10-3之间,主要是苯、甲醛和二氯甲烷这3种致癌物.     

我国的煤层甲烷资源及其开发

“顾亭林庵中,有忠烈公祠,近岁忽地裂数尺,中有风涛声,以物探之,应手火起,至今尚然”。这是宋代鲁应龙记载的湖南嘉禾煤矿发现煤层甲烷的经过。可见自采煤工业始,人们就知道煤层中有甲烷。矿井中的甲烷常造成灾难性的事故,以天府煤矿为例,1950～1982年煤矿瓦斯突出的事故119次。因此对煤层甲烷的研究及处置方法
