强化土著微生物处理硝基苯和苯胺污染地下水

以硝基苯、苯胺为主要污染物的污染地下水为研究对象,加入激活剂(乳糖、Na2HPO4、乳糖+Na2HPO4、乙醇、牛肉膏、蛋白胨)激活土著微生物,并考察其对土著微生物生长及硝基苯、苯胺降解效果的影响。加入激活剂3d后测各个水样的脱氢酶活性,对培养9d后的水样进行气相色谱/质谱(GC/MS)分析。结果表明,加入乳糖的水样中,其微生物相对增长率达157.2%,硝基苯、苯胺的相对去除率分别为14.90%和0.79%;加入Na2HPO4和乙醇的水样中,其微生物增长和硝基苯、苯胺降解情况均没有明显变化;加入乳糖+Na2HPO4的水样中,微生物相对增长率达180.3%,硝基苯、苯胺的相对去除率分别为24.20%和1.21%;加入牛肉膏的水样中,微生物的相对增长率为830.7%,硝基苯、苯胺的相对去除率分别为99.99%和99.67%;加入蛋白胨的水样中,其微生物相对增长率为686.0%,硝基苯、苯胺的相对去除率分别为99.33%和58.94%。GC/MS分析结果表明,加入激活剂后对氯苯胺、1-甲基-4-硝基苯等其他有机物的降解率均有提高。由此可见,通过激活土著微生物修复有机物污染地下水是可行的。     

热解吸对土壤中POPs农药的去除及土壤理化性质的影响

为探索土壤热解吸修复技术对POPs污染土壤的修复效果及修复后土壤可耕作性,选择北京某农药厂旧址的POPs农药污染土壤,研究了不同温度下热解吸处理后土壤中滴滴涕(DDTs)和六六六(HCHs)各组分的去除率以及土壤理化性质的变化。结果表明,热解吸修复技术可有效去除土壤中POPs农药,其中,p,p’-DDE与α-HCH组分去除率受热解吸温度的影响比其他组分更为明显。∑HCH与∑DDT在310℃、340℃时分别达到97%、99%的去除率,且此时土壤中的污染物含量低于我国《展览会用地土壤环境质量评价标准》,此后去除率受温度的影响不明显。热解吸温度对修复后土壤的理化性质有一定的影响,不同温度影响的程度各不相同,其中,有机质含量与全氮含量分别由0.78%、0.0352%降至0.14%、0.0107%;pH波动幅度较小,由7.80变至8.25;阳离子交换量变化存在波动,但呈整体下降趋势,由7.87 mg/kg降至5.00mg/kg;土壤中速效磷显著增加,由7.59 mg/kg升至21.8 mg/kg。而在最优温度条件下,土壤理化性质受热解吸温度的影响较小。由此可以说明,热解吸技术可以用于POPs污染土壤的修复,选择适当的热解吸温度对土壤的可耕作性影响有限,因而是一种潜在的绿色修复技术。     

进水水质成分改变引发的污泥粘性膨胀及控制

在研究强化SBR工艺除污性能时,由于可溶性淀粉投加导致进水水质成分发生改变,污泥沉降性能在短时间内迅速恶化,污泥出现大量的粘液。镜检发现,大量指状菌胶团异常增殖且丝状菌的数量也逐渐减少。实验结果表明,系统膨胀属于污泥粘性膨胀。停止可溶性淀粉和提高主反应池的DO浓度,污泥粘性膨胀并未得到恢复,但污泥粘液逐渐消失。粘液消失后,通过模拟前期进水水质成分和缩短泥龄,污泥粘性膨胀得以控制,污泥沉降性能在短时间内恢复。实验还研究了污泥粘性膨胀对污染物去除性能的影响。     

污泥淤砂分离器再分离底流污泥

研究了污泥淤砂分离器对分离原污泥所得的底流污泥进行再分离时,分离分流污泥的性质。实验结果表明,原污泥MLVSS/MLSS为0.372,1次分离后得到的底流污泥MLVSS/MLSS为0.222,2次分离后得到的底流污泥MLVSS/MLSS为0.126,表明通过底流污泥再分离,能够进一步降低底流污泥中生物有机质的含量,提高底流污泥中无机淤砂的含量。同时,原污泥CST为2.85(s·L)/g SS,1次分离后得到的底流污泥CST为0.98(s·L)/g SS,2次分离后得到的底流污泥CST为0.12(s·L)/g SS,表明底流污泥再分离进一步提高了底流污泥的脱水性能,最终得到的底流污泥脱水性能良好。     

棉秆基活性炭的制备及其对2,4-二硝基苯酚的吸附

以棉秆为原料,以KOH为活化剂,制备了高比表面棉秆基生物质活性炭。分析了制得的活性炭的元素组成、表面官能团、吸附能力等物化性能,探讨了浸渍比,活化温度,活化时间等工艺参数对制备活性炭得率、表面官能团、碘值、亚甲基蓝值等性能的影响,并通过静态吸附实验比较了不同条件下制备活性炭对2,4-二硝基苯酚的吸附性能,探讨了典型炭样品对2,4-二硝基苯酚的等温吸附特性。结果表明,KOH活化棉秆基生物质活性炭的表面物化性质随浸渍比、活化温度等工艺参数变化而变化,活化适宜条件为浸渍比1：3、活化温度800℃、活化时间90 min,在此条件下制得的炭样的碘值为1 251 mg/g,亚甲基蓝吸附值为478 mg/g,分别是国家一级品标准的1.25倍与3.54倍;对2,4-二硝基苯酚的Langmuir最大吸附量为747 mg/g,与Freundlich模型相比,Langmuir模型能较好地描述2,4-二硝基苯酚在炭样上的吸附行为,表明制备活性炭样品表面吸附位的能量分布较为均一。     

Deposition of aerially sprayed mexacarbate on balsam fir canopy and the forest floor: Relevance to ULV applications

Abstract

Spray deposit patterns were measured on aluminum coils and live balsam fir needles at different canopy heights, following aerial application of mexacarbate (4‐dimethylamino‐3,5‐xylyl N‐methylcarbamate) over a conifer forest in New Brunswick. Droplet size spectra of the spray cloud were determined on cylindrical Kromekote® cards placed at the corresponding crown heights. Ground deposits were collected on cylindrical Kromekote cards, aluminum coils and natural balsam fir foliage placed In forest clearings and under different types of vegetation.

Canopy deposits decreased progressively from the top to the bottom level of the tree crown. This trend was observed on aluminum coils, live fir foliage, and Kromekote cards. Droplet size spectra were similar at all sampling heights of the tree crown, and were comparable to those obtained on the ground cards placed in the forest clearings. Deposits of mexacarbate obtained on ground samplers on the open forest floor were markedly lower than those found at the top canopy but were similar to those at the mid or bottom canopy level. Droplet size spectra and mexacarbate deposits obtained on samplers placed under different types of forest vegetation indicated a selective filtration of the large droplets present in the spray cloud by plant canopies.     

固体厌氧消化原料流变特性研究综述

厌氧消化原料的流变特性是厌氧消化工艺设计和运行的重要参数。本文从研究对象、实验操作、研究内容和结果、影响因素以及发展方向等方面对固体厌氧消化原料,特别是污泥的流变特性研究现状进行了概述。研究表明,污泥来源广泛,成分复杂,属于非牛顿流体的范畴,其流变特性受多种因素影响,其中污泥的总悬浮固体(TSS)(或混合液悬浮固体(MLSS))和温度是最主要的影响因素。大部分研究采用层流剪切实验对物料的流变特性进行表征,研究对象范围有待于扩大。尚需针对流体本构方程的改进,共消化对于原料流变特性的影响,混合液固、液相指标与流变参数的关系等方面开展研究,为利用流变参数作为工艺控制参数提供理论依据,并解决工程放大等问题。     

pH对活化前后废弃铁铝泥吸附不同种磷动力学的影响

实验研究了300℃热活化前后的给水厂废弃铁铝泥（R-FARs和H300-FARs）对正磷酸盐、聚磷酸盐和有机磷酸盐的吸附动力学特性,并考察pH对不同磷吸附动力学的影响。结果表明,pH对不同磷吸附动力学过程的影响趋势相似,即低pH有利于吸附。准二级动力学模型能够更真实地反映不同磷在R-FARs和H300-FARs的吸附动力学行为,由拟合结果可知焦磷酸盐和六肌醇磷酸盐的初始吸附速率相对较大,而甘油磷酸盐最小;且活化作用明显提高了不同磷的初始吸附速率,并减弱了pH对初始吸附速率的影响。不同磷的吸附速率受到液膜扩散、颗粒内扩散和吸附反应三者共同控制,其中吸附反应是主要的控制步骤。     

Evaluation of a healthcare safety climate measurement tool

Problem

Psychometrically validated measurement tools are needed to evaluate an organization's safety climate. In 2000, Gershon and colleagues published a new healthcare safety climate measurement tool to determine its relationship to safe work behavior (Gershon, R., Karkashian, C., Grosch, J., Murphy, L., Escamilla-Cejudo, A., Flanagan, P., et al. (2000). Hospital safety climate and its relationship with safe work practices and workplace exposure incidents. American Journal of Infection Control, 28, 211-21). The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Gershon tool when modified to address respiratory rather than bloodborne pathogen exposures.

Method

Medical practitioners, nurses, and nurse aides (n = 460) were surveyed using the modified Gershon tool. Data were analyzed by factor analysis and psychometric properties of the tool evaluated.

Results

Eight safety climate dimensions were extracted from 25 items (Cronbach's alpha range: 0.62 - 0.88). Factor extractions and psychometric properties were reasonably consistent with those of the Gershon tool.

Impact on Industry

The Gershon safety climate tool appears to have sufficient reliability and validity for use by healthcare decision makers as an indicator of employee perceptions of safety in their institution.
