Degradation of o-chloronitrobenzene as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources by Pseudomonas putida OCNB-1

A bacterial strain that utilized o-chloronitrobenzene(o-CNB) as the sole carbon,nitrogen and energy sources was isolated from an activated sludge collected from an industrial waste treatment plant. It was identified as Pseudomonas putida based on its morphology,physiological,and biochemical characteristics with an automatic biometrical system and the 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Microcosm study showed that the biodegradation of o-CNB was optimized at culture medium pH 8.0 and 32°C. At these conditions,the st...     

Organic matter extracted from activated sludge with ammonium hydroxide and its characterization

In order to characterize the organic properties of waste activated sludge in a wastewater treatment plant,organic matter within sludge was extracted with NH 3 ·H 2 O preferentially,and subsequently fractionated into five fractions using XAD-8/XAD-4 resins.Up to a 63.8%-71.1% of organic matter within the sludge could be efficiently extracted by NH 3 ·H 2 O.Fractionation results showed that hydrophobic acid and hydrophilic fraction were two main components among the sludge organic matter (accounting for 32.2% and 48.0% of the bulk organic matter,respectively),whereas transphilic acid,hydrophobic neutral and transphilic neutral were quite low (accounting for 9.2%,5.8% and 4.8%,respectively).Despite that the extractant of NH 3 ·H 2 O showed a relatively higher extraction efficiency of the aromatic components,the relatively low aromaticity of the organic fractions implied that those non-aromatic components could also be effectively extracted,especially for neutral and hydrophilic fractions.In addition,acidic fractions contained more aromatic humic-like components,whereas the neutral fractions had a greater content of aromatic proteins and soluble microbial byproduct-like components.Extraction of sludge organics with NH 3 ·H 2 O and subsequential fractionation using XAD resins could be a novel method for further characterization of sludge organics.

污泥超高温堆肥过程中DOM结构的光谱分析

为了明确超高温堆肥新工艺在促进腐殖化进程中的优势,采用三维荧光光谱(3D-EEM)等光谱学方法研究了污泥超高温堆肥过程中DOM的结构特征及其变化规律.结果表明,堆体≥80℃的超高温阶段持续5 d(最高温度90℃),50℃以上高温阶段达到22 d,反映了堆肥过程中强烈的微生物代谢活性.E253/E203、SUVA280、S275~295等9个紫外-可见光光谱(UV-Vis)指标在0~23 d变化显著,指出DOM的芳香化和堆肥腐殖化程度逐渐增强.3D-EEM光谱结合荧光区域体积积分技术(FRI)分析指出,DOM中蛋白类物质在超高温堆肥过程的0~6 d几乎完全被降解;腐殖酸和富里酸类物质在0~23 d大量形成,堆肥在高温阶段达到完全腐熟,这与种子发芽指数(GI)在23 d所指示的腐熟度评价结果(98.5%)一致.基于多种光谱学指标的相关性分析,PⅤ,n/PⅢ,n与其它光谱学均呈现较好的相关性(r≥0.68),可以作为评价超高温堆肥腐熟度的光谱学指标.上述结果证实了超高温堆肥工艺可加快堆肥腐熟进程、缩短堆肥周期至20 d左右,在有机固废资源化领域具有极大的应用潜力.     

去矿物前后碱萃取腐殖酸的化学组成与结构特征

本文采用改进的化学分离方法对Pahokee泥炭和稻田土壤中的腐殖酸进行了分离,得到了两类腐殖酸:去矿物前腐殖酸(HA-I)和去矿物后腐殖酸(HA-II),其中HA-II为前人未所顾及。然后采用元素分析、固体13C核磁共振、热解-色谱-质谱等技术对HA-I和HA-II的化学组成和结构进行了分析。结果显示HA-II在总腐殖酸中占有的比例分别是11.8%(泥炭)和37.1%(土壤)。HA-I和HA-II在化学组成和性质结构上有明显的差异,O/C原子比都表现为HA-IIH/CSSHA-I,表明从HA-I到HA-II,Pahokee泥炭和稻田土壤腐殖酸中的含氧基团都减少,Pahokee泥炭腐殖酸则脂族基团减少,而稻田土壤腐殖酸的脂族基团增加。这种HA-I和HA-II在结构性质上的变化在13C NMR和热解分析时也都得到了验证。另外热解分析还表明HA-I含有更多的易分解的结构组分,而HA-II则含有更多的难分解的结构组分。这些研究都说明HA-II与HA-I相比,在组成和结构特征上存在一些差异,含有更多的难分解的结构单元。本项研究结果对于理解土壤沉积物体系中腐殖酸的化学特征和地球化学过程与行为具有重要意义。

Assessment and management of urbanization-induced ecological risks

The urban ecological risk incurred during the processes of urbanization has been constantly accumulating, creating a severe challenge for China to achieve sustainable urban development. At present, research on systematic evaluation of urban ecological risks is still inadequate, especially at an urban ecosystem level. In this special issue, we use Xiamen City as an example to identify the sources and receptors of urban ecological risks, to develop a methodology system of urban ecological risk assessment, and to propose a method for the management of urban ecological risks. This special issue contains 11 research articles resulting from a comprehensive research project funded by China’s National Natural Science Foundation. The innovations reported in this special issue include a framework of urban ecological risk assessment and a standardized procedure for carrying out urban ecological risk assessment using multiple stressors and endpoints.

A novel biosorbent: characterization of the spent mushroom compost and its application for removal of heavy metals

The spent mushroom compost of Lentinus edodes was used as a biosorbent for adsorbing cadmium, lead and chromium from solutions under batch conditions for the first time. Titration of the biomass revealed that it contained at least three types of functional groups. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometry showed that the carboxyl, phosphoryl, phenolic groups were the main groups. The simulated values of pK, and molar quantity were 5.00 and 0.44 mmol/g, 7.32 and 1.38 mmol/g, 10.45 and 1.44 mmol/g, respectively. The biosorption ability increased with pH in acid condition. When 10 mg/L biomass dosage was added in, there was no significant increment of metal uptake. The maximum uptake estimated with the Langmiur isotherm model were 833.33 mg/g for Cd（ Ⅱ ）, 1000.00 mg/g for Pb（ Ⅱ ） and 44.44 mg/g for Cr（ Ⅲ ）, respectively. All the results showed that vast potential sorption capacity was existed in the biomass for adsorbing these three kinds of metals studied.
