Association between serum levels of TSH and free T4 and per-and polyfluoroalkyl compounds concentrations in pregnant women

Many per-and polyfluoralkyl substances(PFASs) may disrupt maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in pregnancy. Concerns should be raised regarding the PFASs exposure in pregnant women because thyroid hormones are involved in the early development of the fetus. In this study, we measured the concentrations of 13 PFASs, including five novel shortchain PFASs, in serum from 123 pregnant women in Beijing, China. Linear regression models were used to investigate the association between thyroid-stimulati...

厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥胞外聚合物金属元素特性

为探究厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥胞外金属元素特性,将厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥根据粒径筛分为0.5~1.4mm、1.4~2.8mm、>2.8mm 3组,提取不同粒径厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥胞外聚合物（EPS）,研究EPS金属元素特性.结果表明,蛋白质（PN）是厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥EPS的主要成分,占EPS含量的84.2%以上.随着粒径的增大,EPS中Na、K、Ca、Mg元素含量均增多,且与EPS中蛋白质含量变化一致.EPS中K、Ca、Mg元素的离子形式占比分别为68.6%、56.2%、94.7%.EPS经过阳离子交换树脂（CER）处理后,0.5~1.4mm、1.4~2.8mm、>2.8mm组EPS Zeta电位分别减小了4.7,7.2,9.1mV,EPS中的金属离子可通过压缩双电层作用促进颗粒污泥的聚集,金属离子对大粒径颗粒污泥EPS Zeta电位的影响幅度更大.     

生物膜法光发酵制氢的研究现状与展望

21世纪被誉为氢能世纪.光发酵制氢作为绿色可持续生物制氢方式的一种,可以利用独特的光合系统固定太阳能,并利用有机物产生清洁能源氢气,因而受到广泛关注.但光发酵细菌凝集力差、底物转化效率和光能利用率低导致产氢效能下降,从而阻碍了光发酵制氢的发展.光发酵细菌可以通过形成生物膜而被有效固定,进而增加反应器内光发酵细菌的生物持有量,提高光发酵细菌对不利环境的抵抗力;同时,光发酵细菌形成生物膜后可以调控产氢细菌新陈代谢和生理活性使其更利于产氢.其中,光发酵生物膜反应器的设计尤为重要,尤其是反应器内光源的均匀分配对于光发酵制氢是一项关键因素,需要对光源设计、空间摆放和遮光性进行综合分析和设计;其次,需要考虑载体性质和载体安装以充分吸附光发酵细菌并形成生物膜;同时,结合未来可持续绿色发展的需求,光发酵生物膜反应器设计需要逐步过渡到以室外环境作为常规环境和太阳作为光源.尽管光发酵生物膜制氢前景良好,但目前对于光发酵生物膜反应器和制氢机制的研究仍然不够充分,需要更加深入地探索和优化以突破光发酵制氢的瓶颈,推动氢能行业的发展.     

Fenton氧化联合氧化钙调理对污泥脱水的机理研究

探讨了使用Fenton氧化联合氧化钙全过程(第一阶段:使用硫酸调节污泥p H值;第二阶段:投加Fe2+;第三阶段:投加H2O2;第四阶段:投加氧化钙)对污泥脱水效果及物理化学性质的影响.结果表明,酸化处理可以改变絮体的大小,降低Zeta电位,分散絮体,同时去除部分胞外聚合物(EPS),进而改善了污泥脱水性能.此外,在Fenton氧化的过程中,污泥颗粒、Zeta电位、EPS和比阻(SRF)均呈现逐渐减少的趋势,同时生成氢氧化铁胶体会覆盖在污泥颗粒表面,形成保护性的硬壳,进而使污泥的脱水性能大幅提高.当加入氧化钙时,形成稳定的刚性的结构使污泥颗粒重新聚合,促使生成多孔的脱水通道.中试结果阐明,Fenton氧化过程是实现污泥的深度脱水的关键,并表明各个阶段污泥脱水过程中产生的滤液水质状况.总的来说,本研究提供了在高压下实现污泥深度脱水的新思路,包括:絮体酸溶分散与重聚-保护性氧化-骨架构建.由此看来,Fenton氧化联合氧化钙是一种相对温和且有效的污泥调理方法.     

海洋微生物胞外分泌物(EPS)对船用结构钢腐蚀行为的影响

目的研究微生物活性与船用钢DH32腐蚀行为之间的关系,并通过胞外分泌物的提取,研究分泌物浓度对材料腐蚀性能的影响。方法通过傅里叶红外光谱(FT–IR)分析胞外分泌物的组成,通过电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪(ICP-OES)分析金属离子的含量,并使用用原子力显微镜(AFM)观测去除腐蚀产物后的表面形貌。结果通过电化学阻抗谱的拟合分析,短期内,EPS通过阻碍溶解氧的扩散抑制腐蚀速度,EPS浓度越高,效果越好,即实验初期试样腐蚀的速度与EPS浓度成反比。随着时间的延长,EPS浓度低的溶液中,其EPS络合金属离子的能力很快达到饱和,所以尽管其络合行为能促进试样的阳极溶解,但影响作用有限,此时起到主要影响的还是EPS抑制溶解氧扩散。对于浓度高的EPS溶液,其过量的EPS会促进EPS的官能团与材料表面更多的Fe~(2+)/Fe~(3+)离子键合,使得沉积的EPS保护层变得疏松失去隔离溶解氧的作用,进而加速试样腐蚀。结论海洋微生物胞外分泌物对船用钢腐蚀行为的影响与胞外分泌物的结构与浓度有关,随着浓度升高,EPS从抑制腐蚀变为加速腐蚀。     

Association of serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances with gestational diabetes mellitus and postpartum blood glucose

This study was conducted to examine the association of perfluoroalkyl substance(PFAS)exposure with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) risk and postpartum fasting blood glucose.We used a 1:2 matched case–control study with 84 GDM subjects and 168 healthy pregnant women from Beijing, China. The maternal blood was collected at 1–2 days before delivery, and eight linear isomers and fourteen branched isomers were determined in maternal serum.Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the associations after adjusting for potential confounders. The median of the sum of levels of total PFASs was 4.24 ng/m L with a interquartile range(IQR) of 2.82–6.54 ng/m L. Although maternal PFAS exposure was not associated with risk of GDM, significant positive associations were observed between evaluated exposure to specific PFAS congeners and increasing blood glucose. The odds ratio(ORs) of the highest category of postpartum fasting blood glucose for perfluoro-1-metylheptylsulfonat(1 m-PFOS), perfluoro-3/4-metylheptylsulfonat(3 m+4 m-PFOS), perfluoro-5-metylheptylsulfonat(5 m-PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonate(PFHx S) were 2.03(95% CI: 1.09–3.77), 1.93(95% CI:1.04–3.58), 2.48(95% CI: 1.33–4.65), and 2.26(95% CI: 1.21–4.21), respectively, suggesting negative effects of maternal exposure to specific PFAS compounds on glucose metabolism.

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.
