Size distributions of manure particles released under simulated rainfall

Manure and animal waste deposited on cropland and grazing lands serve as a source of microorganisms, some of which may be pathogenic. These microorganisms are released along with particles of dissolved manure during rainfall events. Relatively little if anything is known about the amounts and sizes of manure particles released during rainfall, that subsequently may serve as carriers, abode, and nutritional source for microorganisms. The objective of this work was to obtain and present the first experimental data on sizes of bovine manure particles released to runoff during simulated rainfall and leached through soil during subsequent infiltration. Experiments were conducted using 200 cm long boxes containing turfgrass soil sod; the boxes were designed so that rates of manure dissolution and subsequent infiltration and runoff could be monitored independently. Dairy manure was applied on the upper portion of boxes. Simulated rainfall (ca. 32.4 mm h(-1)) was applied for 90 min on boxes with stands of either live or dead grass. Electrical conductivity, turbidity, and particle size distributions obtained from laser diffractometry were determined in manure runoff and soil leachate samples. Turbidity of leachates and manure runoff samples decreased exponentially. Turbidity of manure runoff samples was on average 20% less than turbidity of soil leachate samples. Turbidity of leachate samples from boxes with dead grass was on average 30% less than from boxes with live grass. Particle size distributions in manure runoff and leachate suspensions remained remarkably stable after 15 min of runoff initiation, although the turbidity continued to decrease. Particles had the median diameter of 3.8 microm, and 90% of particles were between 0.6 and 17.8 microm. The particle size distributions were not affected by the grass status. Because manure particles are known to affect transport and retention of microbial pathogens in soil, more information needs to be collected about the concurrent release of pathogens and manure particles during rainfall events.     

Biohydrogen production through fermentation using liquid swine manure as substrate

In this paper, continuous production of hydrogen through fermentation with liquid swine manure as substrate was researched using a semi-continuously fed fermenter (8 L in total volume and 4 L in working volume). The pH and temperature for the fermenter were controlled at 5.3 ± 0.1 and 35 ± 1°C, respectively, throughout the experiment. Three hydraulic retention times (16, 20, and 24 h) were investigated for their impact on the efficiency and performance of the fermenter in terms of hydrogen yields. The results indicate that hydraulic retention time (HRT) has a strong influence on the fermenter performance. An increasing HRT would increase the variation in hydrogen concentration in the offgas. To produce hydrogen with a fairly consistent concentration, the HRT of the fermenter should not exceed 16 h, which, however, did not appear to be short enough to control methanogenesis because the offgas still contained about 5% methane. When methane content in the offgas exceeded 2%, an inverse linear relationship between hydrogen and methane was observed with a correlation coefficient of 0.9699. To increase hydrogen content in the offgas, methane production has to be limited to below 2%. Also, keeping oxygen content in the fermenter below 1.5% would increase the hydrogen concentration to over 15%. The product to substrate ratio was found to be around 50% for the fermenter system studied, evidenced by the observation that for every 6 liters of manure fermented, 3 liters of pure hydrogen were produced, which was significant and encouraging.

采用盆栽试验,通过添加粉煤灰和牛粪对煤矸石污染土壤进行改良,并研究了不同改良措施对大豆生长、光合特性和产量的影响。结果表明,添加粉煤灰0.07 kg.kg-1(T1)、添加牛粪0.07 kg.kg-1(T2)、添加粉煤灰和牛粪各0.07 kg.kg-1(T3)3种土壤改良措施对大豆的株高、叶面积和单株根瘤数均有显著影响,不同生育期株高、叶面积和单株根瘤数均表现为T3>T2>T1>CK。在花期和鼓粒期,3种土壤改良措施下大豆的叶绿素含量和光合速率均显著高于对照,且T3处理显著高于T2和T1。与对照相比,不同土壤改良措施对大豆的单株荚数、百粒重、单株粒重和产量均有显著影响,T3、T2和T1处理的大豆产量较对照分别提高68.47%、40.99%和30.63%。     

有机肥施用下稻田田面水中消毒副产物前体物的赋存规律

稻田有机肥输入会使田面水含有含量的溶解性有机碳(DOC).溶解性有机物(DOM)是具有三致效应的消毒副产物(DBPs)的前体物,而DOC是用于表征DOM浓度的一个指标.本研究旨在评估水稻田田面水的三卤甲烷(THMs)前体物的生成反应性,解析猪粪有机肥对于THMs前体物从水稻田输出的潜在影响.于水稻种植季选取4个猪粪施用梯度(以C计,下同)(0[对照],714.1[低],1428.2[中]与2142.3[高]kg·hm-2),检测了稻田田面水中的DOC,UVA254与三卤甲烷生成潜能(THMFP).结果表明,3个指标两两之间呈线性相关性.田面水中以上3个指标都与有机肥施用量呈正相关性.在施肥后的7d内,DOC的输出潜能降低了32.9%至47.5%.有机肥施用与预期的降雨或灌溉之间的时间间隔相隔一周以上,将能在满足作物营养需求的条件下降低消毒副产物前体物输出的风险,使稻田土壤成为DOC的汇而非DOC输出至周边水体的源.     

不同畜禽粪与化肥配施对黑土中Cu有效性的影响及相关因素分析

本文通过培养试验,研究了不同畜禽粪与化肥配施对黑土中Cu总量及形态3年内动态变化的影响,并对影响Cu形态变化的相关因素进行了分析.研究结果显示:不同畜禽粪与化肥配施增加了土壤中Cu的总量,增加效果依次为:猪粪与化肥配施鸡粪与化肥配施牛粪与化肥配施.不同畜禽粪与化肥配施导致了土壤中各形态Cu含量增加,增幅依次为:猪粪与化肥配施鸡粪与化肥配施牛粪与化肥配施.此外,不同畜禽粪与化肥配施还导致了土壤中酸可提取态Cu和残渣态Cu比例增加,可还原态Cu和可氧化态Cu比例减少,变化幅度均呈现猪粪与化肥配施鸡粪与化肥配施牛粪与化肥配施的规律.由于酸可提取态Cu占全Cu比例较小(增加后比例仍不足2%),故其对Cu有效性的影响微乎其微,而残渣态Cu的增加,可还原态、可氧化态Cu的减少均表明:不同畜禽粪与化肥配施降低了土壤中Cu的有效性.对于影响Cu形态的相关因素分析,研究结果表明:土壤中各形态Cu与pH值间相关性不显著,但其与有机质含量间相关性极其显著.酸可提取态、残渣态Cu与有机质含量呈显著负相关,可还原态、可氧化态Cu与有机质含量呈显著正相关.此外,畜禽粪与化肥配施增加了土壤中各形态Cu与pH值间的相关性,但对其与有机质含量间关系影响不大.

温度分化对APBR反应器性能及产甲烷菌群落的影响

为了研究温度分化对固定床厌氧反应器(anaerobic packed bed reactor,APBR)牛粪发酵处理效果及产甲烷菌群落的影响,反应器发酵温度从室温(22℃±1℃)阶梯式分化到低温(15℃±1℃)、中温(37℃±1℃)和高温(55℃±1℃).温度变化的过程中,温度越高COD(chemical oxygen demand)去除率和日总产气量越高,分化后COD去除率分别为25%、45%、60%,相应的日产气量为2.3、4.0、8.5 L·d-1,但是甲烷含量基本保持不变(~60%);温度突然变化造成挥发性脂肪酸含量骤然增加,并处于波动状态.16S r RNA基因克隆文库法分析表明,室温时包含广古菌门中的常见重要产甲烷菌MBT(甲烷杆菌目)、Mst(甲烷鬃菌科)、Msc(甲烷八叠球菌科)和MMB(甲烷微菌目),以及嗜热菌,也有少部分泉古生菌门,发酵温度分化后,产甲烷菌多样性减少,中温条件下产甲烷菌种类相对较少.定量PCR表明Mst、MMB和Msc总基因浓度都有所减少,并且温度越高减少越多,各菌数量相对比例变化较大,但Mst仍为优势产甲烷菌.

鸡粪与中药渣共堆肥对抗生素抗性基因的影响

畜禽粪便是抗生素抗性基因(antibiotic resistant genes,ARGs)进入环境的重要途径,为了削减畜禽粪便中的ARGs,在为期46 d的鸡粪与中药渣共堆肥后,对不同阶段ARGs和可移动基因元件(mobile gene elements,MGEs)的丰度通过实时定量PCR进行检测. 100种ARGs中检测到21种,以及2种整合酶基因(int I1和int I2)和3种转座酶基因(tnp A-01、tnp A-02和tnp A-03).结果表明,在堆肥过程中5种MGEs均显著降低,其中tnp A-01和tnp A-02去除效果最好,减少了两个数量级;氨基糖苷类抗性基因aac A/aph D和aad E显著性降低(P 0. 05);β-内酰胺类抗性基因bla OXA1与堆肥天数显著相关(P=0. 016),其去除率为78. 63%;林可酰胺类抗性基因均随堆肥时间显著降低,平均去除率为90. 39%;四环素类抗性基因的去除效果相差较大,tet G降低了99. 77%,tetR仅降低了31. 72%;喹诺酮类抗性基因qnr D去除率最高为99. 89%;磺胺类中sulⅢ的去除率高达99. 88%,而sulⅠ呈增长趋势. ARGs与MGEs相关性表明tnp A-01与ARGs之间具有显著相关性(P 0. 05). ARGs随堆肥时间的变化趋势表明,中药渣与鸡粪共堆肥可显著降低ARGs丰度,从而降低畜禽粪便在农田施用中ARGs扩散的风险.
