低温域湿地植物根际硝化强度及氨氧化微生物研究

以低温域(0~15 ℃)下黄菖蒲(Iris pseudacorus)、菖蒲(Acorus calamus)和香蒲(Typha orientalis)3种湿地植物为研究对象,分别取其根际土壤测定硝化强度,并采用FISH(荧光原位杂交)技术,考察植物根际AOB(氨氧化细菌)、AOA(氨氧化古菌)的数量变化规律. 结果表明:低温条件下,香蒲根际土壤的硝化强度最高,平均值为1.40 mg/(kg·h),黄菖蒲和菖蒲的平均值均为0.96 mg/(kg·h). 湿地植物根际土壤中的细菌数量(数量级为1010)远高于古菌(数量级为108),其中AOB为优势菌种,3种湿地植物的AOA数量分别约占总古菌数量的46.0%、47.9%和49.7%. 3种湿地植物根际AOB的数量(以湿土计,下同)排序为香蒲(2.57×109 g-1)>黄菖蒲(1.23×109 g-1)≈菖蒲(1.14×109 g-1),AOA的数量(以湿土计)排序为黄菖蒲(2.78×108 g-1)>香蒲(2.57×108 g-1)>菖蒲(1.15×108 g-1). 微生物分布特性和硝化作用效果均表明,不同植物根际氨氧化过程的主要作用微生物具有一定差异,AOA和AOB对于湿地土壤氮转化均具有不可忽视的作用,并与植物本体、土壤硝化过程微环境之间有一定的耦合关系.      

N2O emission from a sequencing batch reactor for biological N and P removal from wastewater

Nitrous oxide （N2O） is a greenhouse gas that can be released during biological nitrogen removal from wastewater. N2O emission from a sequencing batch reactor （SBR） for biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater was investigated, and the aims were to examine which process, nitrification or denitrification, would contribute more to N2Oemission and to study the effects of heterotrophic activities on N2O emission during nitrification. The results showed that N2O emission was mainly attributed to nitrification rather than to denitrification. N2O emission during denitrification mainly occurred with stored organic carbon as the electron donor. During nitrification, NaO emission was increased with increasing initial ammonium or nitrite concentrations. The ratio of N2O emission to the removed ammonium nitrogen （N2O- N/NH4-N） was 2.5% in the SBR system with high heterotrophic activities, while this ratio was in the range from 0.14% to 1.06% in batch nitrification experiments with limited heterotrophic activities.     

苯酚对生物硝化过程的抑制

硝化细菌由于其特殊的生理生态特性,容易受环境因素和共存有毒有害物质的影响,使硝化过程不稳定,脱氮效率降低.采用批式试验,研究了苯酚对生物硝化过程的抑制效应.结果表明,苯酚对硝化有抑制作用,该抑制属非竞争性抑制,是可逆的.苯酚与2,4-二氯酚共存时产生叠加抑制效应.且抑制剂存在时,温度对硝化速率影响更大.因此含酚废水生物脱氮处理时需引起注意.     

曝气生物滤池中总有机碳及氨氮的变化和对硝化作用的影响

采用以页岩陶粒为载体的曝气生物滤池(BAF)为反应器,研究了BAF运行中总有机碳和NH4 -N浓度沿滤层变化的规律,以及对硝化作用的影响.结果显示,在进行污水深度处理时,在BAF前段TOC的去除率占滤池总去除率的72.3%～100%;NH4 -N的去除率占滤池总去除率的91.8%～100%.碳化与硝化作用并存于BAF中,硝化作用随滤层加深而加强.水质和BAF滤料的结构特点是影响碳化与硝化作用的主要因素.     

生物沸石床污水脱氮效果及机理

研究了生物沸石床对模拟村镇生活污水中各形态氮及COD等污染物的去除效果结果表明,生物沸石床对NH₃^--N去除效果明显且稳定,去除率大于95%,对NO₃^--N的去除则受水力停留时间的影响较大从机理分析,生物沸石对NH₃-N的去除主要依靠化学吸附、离子交换以及生物硝化的协同作用,而对NO₃^--N的去除主要依赖反硝化作用.生物沸石的硝化作用明显,并受溶解氧浓度限制,沸石床中部沸石硝化强度只有表层沸石的1/2;其反硝化能力则随实验条件中C/N的不同而变化明显,当COD/TN=5时,反硝化作用最强,在时间变化规律上,前6h反硝化速率最大.     

胶体态有机物对生物膜硝化过程的影响

利用曝气生物滤池研究了胶体态和溶解态有机物对生物膜中硝化过程的影响.实验结果表明,胶体态有机物的水解过程进行得较为迅速,不会成为生物降解的限制过程.70%有机物的氧化在滤池的进口40cm内完成,而随着进水有机物浓度的增加硝化过程向滤池的上部迁移.胶体态有机物对硝化过程的抑制作用比同样浓度溶解态有机物略大.     

气体分离循环对高温厌氧消化过程的影响

采用厌氧序批式反应器,研究了气体循环(包括气体直接循环和脱除气体中的氢气后循环)对以葡萄糖和乙酸钠配制的模拟废水在高温厌氧消化过程中乙酸代谢速率、出水性质及微生物相的影响,并采用尺寸排除色谱和三维荧光光谱技术,对溶解性微生物产物(SMP)的分子量分布和荧光物质组成进行了分析.结果显示,气体循环使得出水中残余挥发性脂肪酸的浓度由238.2mg/L(未脱氢)和129.6mg/L(脱氢)分别减少至8.5mg/L和8.2mg/L,并最终降低了SMP产量,45d时分别降至气体循环前的36.8%和59.2%.脱氢气体循环促进了乙酸化和乙酸氧化,导致了微生态环境和甲烷化基质浓度的差异,促进了高分子量SMP向低分子量SMP的转化,污泥中的微生物形态亦发生了较大变化.可见气体循环改善了基质与微生物的混合状况,改善了出水水质,而脱氢气体循环加速了乙酸的代谢,有望更快速地解除易降解有机物高温厌氧消化过程中的酸抑制,提高厌氧消化效率.     

Nitrifying population dynamics in a redox stratified membrane biofilm reactor (RSMBR) for treating ammonium-rich wastewater

Nitrogen removal performance and nitrifying population dynamics were investigated in a redox stratified membrane biofilm reactor (RSMBR) under oxygen limited condition to treat ammonium-rich wastewater. When the NH4+-N loading rate increased from 11.1±1.0 to 37.2±3.2 gNH4+-N·m-2·d-1, the nitrogen removal in the RSMBR system increased from 18.0±9.6 mgN·d^-1 to 128.9±61.7 mgN·d^-1. Shortcut nitrogen removal was achieved with nitrite accumulation of about 22.3±5.3 mgNO2--N·L-1. Confocal micrographs showed the stratified distributions of nitrifiers and denitrifiers in the membrane aerated biofilms (MABs) at day 120, i.e., ammonia and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (AOB and NOB) were dominant in the region adjacent to the membrane, while heterotrophic bacteria propagated at the top of the biofilm. Real-time qPCR results showed that the abundance of amoA gene was two orders of magnitude higher than the abundance of nxrA gene in the MABs. However, the nxrA gene was always detected during the operation time, which indicates the difficulty of complete washout of NOB in MABs. The growth of heterotrophic bacteria compromised the dominance of nitrifiers in biofilm communities, but it enhanced the denitrification performance of the RSMBR system. Applying a high ammonia loading together with oxygen limitation was found to be an effective way to start nitrite accumulation in MABs, but other approaches were needed to sustain or improve the extent of nitritation in nitrogen conversion in MABs.     

Electromigration techniques as a modern tool to control the work of sewage treatment plant

In the present work, the possibility of using isotachophoresis (ITP) as an alternative method for the continuous control of sewage treatment plant efficiency is presented. The performed experiments focused on the nitrification process products as well as the determination of heavy metal concentration in raw sewage. Total concentration of nitrates and heavy metals is analysed in the sewage samples, ranging from 50 to 120mg/L and 0 to 1.9mg/L, respectively. The analytical error (below 10%), the analysis time (shorter then 50 minutes for heavy metals, and 12 minutes for nitrates) and the general analytical performance are better from those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and ion selective electrode (ISE).     

硫酸铵施用量和温度对红壤稻田土硝化作用及微生物特性的影响

以红壤稻田土为供试土壤,设置不同硫酸铵(简称硫铵)施用量,分别在15、25、35℃条件下培养,研究短期内土壤硝化作用、微生物生物量和微生物功能多样性的变化。结果表明,在相同硫铵施用量下,不同温度处理土壤NH4+含量差异不显著;温度变化对于对照和常规硫铵用量(折纯N 120 mg·kg-1)处理土壤NO3-含量有显著影响,但对中、高量(折纯N 600和1 200 mg·kg-1)处理无显著影响。对照和常规硫铵用量处理土壤硝化速率均随温度升高而显著增加;中、高量硫铵处理土壤硝化速率普遍较低,且不同温度之间差异不显著;相同温度条件下,硝化速率随硫铵施用量的升高而降低。中、髙量硫铵处理对土壤微生物生物量碳有显著影响,且土壤微生物生物量碳随硫铵施用量的增加而显著降低;相同硫铵施用量下,不同温度处理土壤微生物生物量碳由高到低大致为25、15和35℃。BIOLOG分析显示,中、高量硫铵处理平均吸光值和多样性指数均较低,各处理中以25℃时对照处理的平均吸光值和Shannon、Simpson、McIntosh指数最大,其次为25℃时常规硫铵用量处理。过量施用硫铵有可能造成土壤生物结构和功能衰变。
