Assessment of heavy metal pollution and health risks in a main river in Huayuan County,Xiangxi, Hunan Province北大核心CSCD

To study heavy metal pollution and assess the health risk of river water in Huayuan County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province, 11 water samples were collected from the Huayuan River and Brother Rivers in August and December 2016. Heavy metal (Pb, Zn, Cr, Cu, Fe, and Ni) concentrations were determined from the samples. The health risk assessment model recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) was applied to assess the health risk of heavy metals in the main surface waters of Huayuan County. The results indicated that the concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cr, Cu, Fe, and Ni) of surface water in the research area were 2.57 × 10-3, 4.66 × 10-4, 1.65 × 10-3, 6.27 × 10-4, 0.19, and 8.50 × 10-4 mg/L, respectively. The health risk of surface waters with heavy metals was high. Therefore, the chemical carcinogenic substance (Cr) health risk index was five or six times higher than that of chemical non-carcinogens (Pb, Zn, Cu, and Ni). The average health risk indices of non-carcinogenic substances were in the order Pb > Cu > Zn > Ni. The correlation and principal component analysis of surface water showed that the six heavy metal elements were composed of three main components in the main surface waters of the county. The first principal component was comprised of Fe and Ni (33.28%), which was mainly from internal pollution. The second component was comprised of Cu and Cr (26.98%), which was primarily due to industrial waste water, rainwater leaching mineral waste produced by heavy metal mining, and smelting enterprises. The third component, resulting from geochemical pollution, was Zn (17.10%). The health risk indices triggered by heavy metal in surface waters was high. Heavy metal pollutants in the research area need to be controlled in the order Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Ni. © 2018 Science Press. All rights reserved.

Roles of acid-producing bacteria in anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Three acid-producing strains, AFB-1, AFB-2 and AFB-3, were isolated during this study, and their roles in anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) were evaluated. Data of 16S rRNA method showed that AFB-1 and AFB-2 were Bacillus coagulans, and AFB-3 was Escherichia coli. The removal in terms of volatile solids (VS) and total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) was maximized at 42.7% and 44.7% by inoculating Bacillus coagulans AFB-1. Besides, the optimal inoculum concentration of Bacillus coagulans AFB-1 was 30% (v/v). Solubilization degree experiments indicated that solubilization ratios (SR) of WAS reached 20.8%±2.2%, 17.7%±1.48%, and 11.1%±1.53%. Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentrations and compositions were also explored with a gas chromatograph. The results showed that VFAs improved by 98.5%, 53.0% and 11.6% than those of the control, respectively. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) experiments revealed that biogas production increased by 90.7% and 75.3% when inoculating with Bacillus coagulans AFB-1 and AFB-2. These results confirmed that the isolated acid-producing bacteria, especially Bacillus coagulans, was a good candidate for anaerobic digestion of WAS.

采用SBR反应器,在交替缺氧/好氧模式下处理低C/N生活污水,考察曝气量、盐度对短程硝化好氧颗粒污泥脱氮速率及粒径分布的影响.结果表明,在25 ℃、pH为7.5~8.0条件下,当进水NH₄⁺-N为65 mg·L^-1时,控制曝气量分别为8.75、12.50和16.25 L·h^-1·L^-1,在第35、24和23个周期时NH₄⁺-N去除率分别高达95.49%、98.46%和98.54%,选取12.50 L·h^-1·L^-1为最佳曝气量.控制在最佳曝气量条件下,当盐度为0时,NH₄⁺-N去除率及亚硝积累率分别为98.46%和90.42%;在盐度为5.0%时,NH₄⁺-N去除率和亚硝积累率分别为98.34%和96.71%.当曝气量从8.75 L·h^-1·L^-1提升为16.25 L·h^-1·L^-1,颗粒污泥平均粒径由170 μm增大为231.5 μm;控制曝气量在12.5 L·h^-1·L^-1,增加盐度至5.0%,颗粒污泥平均粒径由231 μm下降至156 μm,其占比由40.50%增加到48.26%.     

电镀污泥中重金属溶出动力学及其在土壤中的归趋

电镀污泥是电镀工业中重金属的"汇",在降水的作用下可能向环境释放大量的重金属.本文通过连续浸出实验和动力学拟合探究了电镀污泥中重金属的溶出特性,并分析了重金属在土壤中的吸附、迁移转化及淋出行为.结果表明,在淋溶初期,重金属从电镀污泥中大量释放,且土壤中Cr （Ⅵ）、Ni的淋出浓度分别高达0.102、0.222 mg·L^-1.淋溶后,表层土壤中Ni、Cu的总量及可交换态/碳酸盐结合态含量均显著增加;由于专性吸附作用,Cu的铁锰氧化物结合态含量也大量增加,Cu在土壤中的吸附率高达89.32%~97.67%,降低了其从土壤中的淋出风险.Cr、Ni、Cu更易在红壤中发生吸附并转化为稳定的有机结合态,降低了重金属的潜在迁移性;相应地,电镀污泥中释放的Cr、Ni、Cu在栗钙土中具有较高的淋出风险.     

造粒处理对城镇污泥蚯蚓堆肥微生物群落碳源利用的影响

采用Biolog Eco微平板法探讨了城镇污泥造粒的预处理方法对蚯蚓堆肥系统中微生物碳源利用的影响.结果显示,造粒处理会显著提高城镇污泥中微生物群落对碳源利用的优势度和均匀度,但会降低碳源利用的多样性.与初始污泥相比,造粒处理对氧环境的改善在蚯蚓堆肥的前15 d明显提高了H1(a-D-乳糖)、A3(D-半乳糖酸γ内酯)、D4(L-丝氨酸)、C1(吐温40)、E1(a-环状糊精)、C3(2-羟苯甲酸)、B3(D-半乳糖醛酸)和F3(衣康酸)这8种碳源的代谢强度,增高幅度达到10.81%~24.83%.从碳源利用模式来看,蚯蚓堆肥系统中微生物的碳源利用表现出多元化向单一化发展的特点.胺类和酚类是微生物利用的主要碳源,约占总利用率的40%.污泥造粒和蚯蚓堆肥对胺类的利用无明显影响.与S组相比,15 d前造粒处理会提高氨基酸类和羧酸类的利用率8%以上,对酚类、聚合物类和碳水化合物类无明显影响.但这3类碳源对蚯蚓的作用更加敏感,蚯蚓可以使这3类碳源的利用率提高11%以上.15 d后随着基质中可利用物质的减少和蚓粪的积累,微生物对酚类、羧酸类和氨基酸类的代谢产生了明显的偏好,总体的碳源代谢能力却有所降低.

研究了强化厌氧折流板反应器（强化ABR）在稳定运行期对农村污水的处理效果以及反应器不同格室内污泥的表观形态、流变及微生物种群特性.结果表明：强化ABR对进水COD的平均去除率达81.05%,其中第1、2格室对进水COD去除起主要作用.反应器不同格室内污泥表观形态存在一定差异,第1、2格室污泥表面微生物以球菌和杆菌为主,第3、4格室则以丝状菌为主;不同格室内污泥剪切应力随剪切速率呈指数增加趋势,而黏度则随着剪切速率的增加而减小,且逐渐趋近一定值.反应器不同格室内的优势细菌以水解、酸化菌为主,而优势古细菌以乙酸型产甲烷菌和氢营养型产甲烷菌为主,优势细菌和古细菌在不同格室内的分布均存在一定差异.研究结果可为强化ABR在农村污水处理中的应用提供科学依据.     

长江流域主要干/支流水化学特征及外源酸的影响

为了探究人类活动对长江流域水化学特征的影响,本文以流域内主要干/支流代表断面的采样点为研究对象,分别于2016年丰水期和平水期采集地表水样各13组,通过离子比值法、主成分分析法和化学离子平衡计算法,综合分析水化学特征,并估算碳酸和外源酸参与碳酸盐岩的溶蚀比例.结果表明,水化学类型主要为HCO₃-Ca型,指示流域内水化学的主要影响因素为碳酸盐岩的溶解,在碳酸盐岩风化过程中,碳酸与碳酸盐岩的相对快速风化为主导反应.此外,丰水期和平水期各采样点碳酸溶蚀比例均值分别为60.33%和59.14%,不同采样点的溶蚀比例差值较大,指示外源酸对河流与岩石侵蚀风化过程的影响不容忽视,且阳离子交换对水化学有一定影响,但并不是主要的反应过程.与多年前水文监测初期的数据相比,硫酸和硝酸对岩石风化作用加强,人为因素对长江的水质影响增大.     

矿渣基改性剂对城市污泥重金属稳定化

以城市生活污泥为研究对象,采用矿渣基改性剂在不同投加量和养护时间条件下对其改性,并通过重金属的稳定效率及形态变化分析和评价污泥中Cr、Cu、Zn、Pb、As和Cd等重金属的固化效果.结果表明：随养护时间或投加量的增加,重金属稳定效率不断提升,在养护14 d后,改性剂的投加量为50%时达到最大,其中Cu最高为69.62%,Cr最低为48.68%,且皆在投加量为5%~20%时增长最快.通过对投加量、养护时间和稳定效率回归分析,发现Cu的拟合相关系数最高为0.97,改性剂的掺量与养护时间两个影响因素相互作用极强,对重金属稳定效率的增加均有显著的影响.此外,污泥改性后Pb和As以残渣态为主;Cu和Cr以可氧化态和残渣态为主;Zn和Cd以可还原态和可提取态的形式为主.随养护时间或投加量增加,各重金属的残渣态有7%~86%的增加,这表明矿渣基改性剂可有效固化污泥中重金属,使污泥等固体废物再利用.     

低温驯化对自养脱氮颗粒污泥功能活性与菌群结构的影响分析

低温驯化是提高部分亚硝化-厌氧氨氧化（PN/A）组合工艺低温脱氮效能和运行稳定性的有效方法.为探究低温驯化对污泥特性的具体影响,本文从温度敏感性、颗粒外观形态、胞外聚合物（EPS）组成和微生物群落结构等方面,对中高温培养（30℃）和低温驯化（15℃）PN/A颗粒污泥之间的差异性进行了分析.反应热力学的研究结果表明,驯化污泥（G_L）在低温区（10~20℃）的脱氮性能较中高温培养污泥（G_H）有了显著提高,总无机氮去除的表观反应活化能（E_a）降低了28.4%.与G_H相比,G_L的平均粒径减小了25.8%,EPS含量增长了16.6%,颗粒的沉降性能明显下降.由高通量测序结果可知,G_L具有更高的菌群多样性,同时,污泥中好氧氨氧化菌（Nitrosomonas）与厌氧氨氧化菌（Candidatus_Kuenenia）的丰度比值（0.04）远小于G_H的0.34.这意味着颗粒污泥在低温环境中对慢速生长自养菌仍具有较强的截留能力.上述发现为解析PN/A污泥在低温条件下的自适应机制,推动组合工艺的工程化应用提供了重要参考.
