微囊藻毒素在超声场中的降解研究

研究了功率超声对有毒蓝藻的主要次级代谢物藻毒素的降解作用,以及超声参数等条件对降解效果的影响.结果表明微囊藻毒素在超声场中具有很好的降解效果,实验条件下,频率为150 kHz的超声对藻毒素的降解效果最好,其功率为40 W时,作用20 min后藻毒素的降解率可达到70%以上.同时紫外光辐照可以有效地强化超声对藻毒素的降解.     

超声前处理强化活性炭吸附活性艳红X-3B染料废水

探究了超声前处理活性艳红X-3B染料废水强化活性炭吸附降解性能及不同超声参数的影响规律,包括超声功率和超声时间。研究结果表明,超声前处理活性艳红X-3B染料废水可通过空化效应使有机大分子裂解为小分子易于被活性炭吸附,同时可强化其到活性炭微孔中传输,提高了活性炭吸附降解性能,最佳超声功率为320 W。浓度越高,所需超声时间越长,当超声达到一定时间后,继续超声不会影响染料分子的吸附。超声前处理虽然不会改变吸附平衡时间,但可有效增加活性炭处理活性艳红X-3B染料废水的饱和吸附量。     

简析超声波声能密度对污泥减量的影响

介绍了超声波用于污泥减量的机理,研究了超声波声能密度对污泥减量的影响.研究表明当超声波频率为200 KHz,声能密度1.1W/mL,t=300 s,MISS减少率max=28.3%;SCOD从30 mg/L上升到110 mg/L.在声能密度0.22 W/mL时,t=450 s,MISS减少率max=12.8%;SCOD从30 mg/L上升到85 mg/L.另外,试验中还发现大功率超声波不利于提高污泥的脱水能力.     

低强度超声波强化SBR处理生活污水

通过设置超声波(ultrasound,US)的SBR反应器(sequence batch reactor,SBR)与对照反应器的对比试验,研究了超声波对SBR处理生活污水的强化效果.结果表明,采用强度0.3 W·cm^-2的超声波,每隔8h取SBR反应器中10%的污泥进行10min辐射处理,对COD的总去除率提高3%～6%,其出水COD与对照反应器的出水相比降低了40%～53%,通过该辐射处理有效提高了SBR反应器对模拟生活污水的高负荷冲击和有毒物质冲击的耐受能力.对于实际生活污水,设置超声强化使污泥耗氧呼吸速率(oxygen uptake rate,OUR)增加14%左右,有效提高了微生物对难降解有机物质的分解能力.对污泥沉降性能的研究表明,超声波强化会引起污泥的SVI值升高,但升高的幅度仅为5%左右,不会对系统的沉降性能造成显著影响.根据电镜观测以及种群结构分析发现,超声波对细胞产生了损伤作用,其表面出现了明显的皱褶,但是活性污泥种群结构并未发生显著变化.通过对2个反应器中活性污泥的呼吸动力学分析表明,设置US反应器中活性污泥对底物具有更高的利用率.     

低强度超声波与酸、碱协同对污泥溶胞的影响

在能量密度为0.05W·mL-1和pH范围3.0～12.0条件下,研究了超声波辐射与酸、碱协同对污泥溶胞效果的影响.结果表明,溶解性化学需氧量(SCOD)、溶解性磷(SP)和溶解性糖(SA)含量随pH增大均呈先降后升趋势.当pH为3.0时,污泥溶胞效果不高,随污泥溶液碱性增强,SCOD、SP和SA含量随pH呈指数增长,说明强碱性环境有利于污泥溶胞.超声波辐射可显著提高污泥溶胞率,而且pH越大超声波辐射改善的溶胞效率越高.pH=11.0时超声波辐射60min以内,SCOD、SP和SA含量与时间均呈线性关系,超声波/碱协同污泥溶胞为一级反应.pH大于9.0的碱性条件下,超声波辐射和提高pH均可降低VSS/TSS.依据实验数据,应用非线性优化技术得到SCOD与pH和超声波辐射时间的数学模型,其平均相对误差小于2.6%.     

低强度超声波改善污泥活性

采用城市污水处理厂的好氧活性污泥为试验材料,以好氧呼吸速率(OxygenUptakeRate,OUR)为指标,研究活性污泥在超声波强度0～1.2W/cm²、辐照时间0～40min处理后活性的变化.发现当采用超声波强度0.3W/cm²,辐照时间10min,对提高污泥活性的效果最为显著,不适当的处理时间与处理强度则不利于污泥活性的提高.因此,利用超声波激励污泥活性存在最佳的超声波强度和辐照持续时间.另外,研究了强度0.3W/cm²,辐照时间10min超声波辐射处理后0～48h中污泥活性的变化规律,发现超声辐照8h后污泥活性达到最大值,为辐射处理后初始活性的2倍,24h后超声波的强化作用基本消失.因此,可采用强度0.3W/cm²超声波每隔8h取反应器中的部分活性污泥辐照10min后再返回反应器,来提高生物反应器的处理效率.本文还对低强度的超声波改善污泥活性的可能机制进行了假说性解释.     

Prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis: I. Prospective study of 51 pregnancies

A prenatal diagnosis was performed in 51 pregnancies with a 1-in-4 risk of having a child with cystic fibrosis. The criteria for determining an affected fetus were based on the results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) residual activity after inhibition by phenylalanine and by homoarginine, of total ALP activity, and of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP) activity in the amniotic fluid taken between 16 and 19 weeks of pregnancy. The chromosomal analysis of amniotic fluid cells showed trisomy 13 in one case which was excluded from the analysis of biochemical assays. The biochemical assays were in the normal ranges in the amniotic fluid of 35 pregnancies: 26 have reached term and a normal infant has been born, 9 are still in progress. A deficiency of the ALP phenylalanine-inhibitable form, depressed values of total ALP and GGTP were observed in the amniotic fluid of 15 pregnancies: one pregnancy went to term and the infant had CF, in 14 cases the pregnancy was terminated, and meconium ileus was observed in ten of these cases. It was observed that the changes towards abnormal values became more significant with advancing gestational age and that 18 weeks appeared to be the optimum time for diagnostic amniocentesis.     

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH): A new application in the delineation of true vs. pseudomosaicism in prenatal diagnosis

Metaphase chromosomes and interphase nuclei from nine amniotic fluid cultures were studied with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The samples were initially analyzed with routine G-banding and were diagnosed as having true mosaicism (five patients) or pseudomosaicism (four patients). In our study, FISH analysis could provide additional information to distinguish pseudo– from true mosaicism by allowing interphase studies and analysis of an increased number of metaphase spreads. These results suggest a multilinear origin of ‘in situ’ colonies of cells.
