聚合铝铁对A2/O系统 EPS及生物絮凝性能的影响

通过向实验室构建的A2/O模型好氧池末端投加聚合铝铁(PAFC)来强化系统的生物除磷,使得出水总磷达到《城市污水处理厂污染物排放标准GB 18918-2002》中的一级A标准,并重点分析投加的PAFC对A2/O系统中活性污泥胞外聚合物(EPS)和活性污泥生物絮凝性能的影响.结果表明,随着PAFC投药量的增加,A2/O系统活性污泥EPS总量变化不大,但EPS组分中蛋白/多糖含量的比值逐渐降低,由投药前的3.30降低至投药后的2.30;EPS中金属离子含量逐渐增加,在厌氧-缺氧-好氧的运行周期内,各处理单元污泥的EPS中金属铝离子含量增加.投加PAFC后,活性污泥颗粒变大,二沉池出水的Zeta电位明显降低,由投药前-15.83 mV降低至-21.20 mV,污泥产量增加.因此,适量投加PAFC后,生物絮凝性能得到改善,出水中悬浊颗粒减少,出水水质变好.

Part V—sorption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products

Background, aim, and scope  Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including antibiotics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and veterinary pharmaceuticals are emerging pollutants, and their environmental risk was not emphasized until a decade ago. These compounds have been reported to cause adverse impacts on wildlife and human. However, compared to the studies on hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) whose sorption characteristics is reviewed in Part IV of this review series, information on PPCPs is very limited. Thus, a summary of recent research progress on PPCP sorption in soils or sediments is necessary to clarify research requirements and directions. Main features  We reviewed the research progress on PPCP sorption in soils or sediments highlighting PPCP sorption different from that of HOCs. Special function of humic substances (HSs) on PPCP behavior is summarized according to several features of PPCP–soil or sediment interaction. In addition, we discussed the behavior of xenobiotic chemicals in a three-phase system (dissolved organic matter (DOM)–mineral–water). The complexity of three-phase systems was also discussed. Results  Nonideal sorption of PPCPs in soils or sediments is generally reported, and PPCP sorption behavior is relatively a more complicated process compared to HOC sorption, such as the contribution of inorganic fractions, fast degradation and metabolite sorption, and species-specific sorption mechanism. Thus, mechanistic studies are urgently needed for a better understanding of their environmental risk and for pollution control. Discussion  Recent research progress on nonideal sorption has not been incorporated into fate modeling of xenobiotic chemicals. A major reason is the complexity of the three-phase system. First of all, lack of knowledge in describing DOM fractionation after adsorption by mineral particles is one of the major restrictions for an accurate prediction of xenobiotic chemical behavior in the presence of DOM. Secondly, no explicit mathematical relationship between HS chemical–physical properties, and their sorption characteristics has been proposed. Last but not least, nonlinear interactions could exponentially increase the complexity and uncertainties of environmental fate models for xenobiotics. Discussion on proper simplification of fate modeling in the framework of nonlinear interactions is still unavailable. Conclusions  Although the methodologies and concepts for studying HOC environmental fate could be adopted for PPCP study, their differences should be highly understood. Prediction of PPCP environmental behavior needs to combine contributions from various fractions of soils or sediments and the sorption of their metabolites and different species. Recommendations and perspectives  More detailed studies on PPCP sorption in separated soil or sediment fractions are needed in order to propose a model predicting PPCP sorption in soils or sediments based on soil or sediment properties. The information on sorption of PPCP metabolites and species and the competition between them is still not enough to be incorporated into any predictive models.     

脉冲曝气活性污泥胞外聚合物的产生特性及其与脱氮效率的关系

为探讨脉冲曝气活性污泥胞外聚合物（EPS）的产生特性及其与脱氮效率的关系,研究了在脉冲曝气装置中曝气时间5 min及停曝时间10 min的条件下,松散结合型胞外聚合物（LB-EPS）与紧密结合型胞外聚合物（TB-EPS）的变化规律,并分析EPS与脱氮效率之间的关系。结果表明：脉冲曝气活性污泥LB-EPS的含量低于TB-EPS含量,且随着脉冲驯化的进行,EPS的含量持续增长。三维荧光图谱（3D-EEM）分析表明脉冲曝气的LB-EPS的色氨酸荧光峰产生红移,TB-EPS的色氨酸荧光强度增大,说明了脉冲曝气驯化过程导致了活性污泥胞外聚合物中色氨酸蛋白类物质含量呈增加趋势。对比研究表明：脉冲曝气氨氮（NH4+-N）去除率在80%左右,与连续曝气相近;而总氮（TN）去除率在50%左右,高于连续曝气20%。脉冲曝气下,EPS对于脱氮有抑制作用,EPS与NH4+-N及TN的去除率之间呈负相关的关系,LB-EPS与TN去除率之间负相关;TB-EPS与NH4+-N去除率负相关且关系显著。     

载体内微孔孔径对生物膜特性及废水处理效果的影响

为解决载体內部微孔孔径在废水生物膜法中缺乏选型依据的问题,采用5种孔径(0.6~4 mm)聚氨酯海绵生物载体构建了SBBR,考察了载体内微孔孔径对生物膜特性(MLSS、EPS、DHA)及废水处理效果的影响,分析了载体内部微孔孔径与生物膜特性的相关性。结果表明：载体内微孔孔径与MLVSS、MLSS呈显著负相关,而与PN、PS、EPS和f呈显著正相关;高生物量使小孔径载体(0.6 mm,1 mm)在反应器运行前中期拥有最佳的废水处理效果,同时过多的生物膜在微孔环境中会堵塞内部的通道和空穴,进而抑制传质,使生物膜活性(DHA、f )降低;而大孔径载体(4 mm)内部传质快、水力剪切作用强,加速生物膜解吸脱落速率,促进了生物膜活性的提高与EPS(主要是TB-EPS)的释放,但同样限制了生物膜量的增长。相较而言,中等孔径载体(2 mm,3 mm)适宜的微孔不仅能维持适量的微生物量,还能保持良好的生物膜结构和活性,为生物膜反应器提供良好的长期运行条件和处理效果。     

剩余污泥发酵液对黏性膨胀污泥特性的影响

为了解决剩余污泥碱性发酵液作为低碳氮比生活污水外加碳源时引发的黏性污泥膨胀问题,采用序批式反应器(SBR),以剩余污泥碱性发酵液为进水碳源,对黏性膨胀污泥的沉降性能及其影响因素之间的相关性进行了系统研究。结果表明：当进水COD值为300~350 mg·L⁻¹时,随着运行时间的推移,污泥容积指数(SVI)逐渐升高,最终达到540 mL·g⁻¹,此时发生污泥黏性膨胀现象;黏性膨胀污泥表面负电荷由0.62 mV累积到29.49 mV,相对疏水性(RH)从44%下降至19%,污泥容积指数(SVI)与Zeta电位、相对疏水性(RH)呈负相关(R²分别为0.837 71和0.678 54),与污泥粒径不相关;胞外聚合物总量从31 mg·g⁻¹提高至39 mg·g⁻¹,但LB-EPS/TB-EPS的比例从0.92增加至2.92;与TB-EPS相比较,LB-EPS与污泥容积指数(SVI)、Zeta电位、相对疏水性(RH)具有显著相关性(R²分别为0.892 88、0.885 29和0.776 68)。以上结果揭示了以发酵液为碳源引发的黏性膨胀污泥特性的变化规律,可为实际工程中以发酵液为碳源的黏性污泥膨胀问题提供借鉴。     

Evaluation of leachate composition by multivariate data analysis (MVDA)

Landfills generate emissions in the form of gas and leachate. The emissions are often measured within monitoring programmes. It is likely that the requirements of such monitoring programmes can be extended in the future, particularly in light of the increased interest in specific organic substances. Multivariate data analyses (MVDA) have been used to evaluate the possibility of predicting the content of specific organic substances from more common analyses. The results indicate that this is possible for a specific leachate. MVDA can also be used to reduce the number of analyses performed within existing monitoring programmes while retaining information about all the variables formerly included in the programmes.     

Biodegradability of organic substances by ATP test

The aerobic biodegradability of organic substances in water is characterized by determination of energy change ‐ ATP content in microbial cells during biodegradation. A satisfactory result is obtained under the following conditions: the initial concentration of tested substance is 100mg/l (as DOC), the amount of the inoculum in the biological medium is 500mg/l (as MLSS), and the duration of test time is 14 days. The evaluating system (peak time, peak height and IA index) is proposed to assess the biodegradability of 46 organic compounds and 7 wastewaters.     

电子束辐照降解水中氯霉素的研究

本研究对氯霉素(CAP)在不同条件下的电子束辐照降解进行了研究.结果表明,电子束辐照可有效去除水中CAP,低浓度CAP在酸性条件下的辐照降解更为显著,且降解过程符合准一级动力学模型.通过添加不同的自由基清除剂,发现HO·在CAP降解中起关键作用,此外,CAP分子也会吸收辐照而发生分解.水中共存的阴离子和腐殖酸(HA)对CAP辐照降解均有抑制作用,这跟其与HO·的反应速率常数大小有关,并且反应速率越大,其抑制能力越强.CAP在去离子水中的去除率高于其他实际水体,但辐照剂量为4 k Gy时,污水厂污水过滤水和胶体浓缩液中的CAP也可分别去除89.1%和81.7%.利用GC-MS检测到辐照后溶液中有6种中间产物,主要是通过脱水、不对称中心断键和脱酰胺作用形成.此外,IC检测有Cl-、NO-3和NO-2的产生,并且TOC在一定程度上降低,说明部分CAP被矿化.     

Efficacy of natural biocide on control of microbial induced corrosion in oil pipelines mediated by Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio gigas

We compared the efficacy of a natural biocide with four chemical tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfonate, benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, and formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, to control microbial induced corrosion in oil pipelines. The efficacy of biocides were monitored against Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio gigas in experimental pipes by measuring cell counts, H2S production, Fe(II) production, production of extracellular polymeric substances and structure of biofilm. The treatment with cow urine had minimum planktonic cell counts of 3 102 CFU/mL as well as biofilm cell counts of 9 101 CFU/mL as compared with tetrakishydroxyl methyl phosphonium sulfonate, benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. Sulfide production was the lowest with cow urine (0.08 mmol/L), followed by tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfonate 0.72 mmol/L. On day 90 of treatment, Fe(II) production was also found to be the lowest with cow urine. The scanning electron microscopic studies indicated that the biofilm bacteria were killed by cow urine. These results demonstrate the cow urine mediated control of microbially induced corrosion, and this is indicative of its potential as a viable substitute of toxic biocides. To the best of our knowledge, this seems to be the first report which screens possible biocidal activity by cow urine as compared to the most common biocides which oil industry is currently using.
