Enhanced nitrogen removal upon the addition of volatile fatty acids from activated sludge by combining calcium peroxide and low-thermal pretreatments

This study investigated a combined low-thermal and CaO₂ pretreatment to enhance the volatile fatty acid (VFA) production from waste activated sludge (WAS). The fermentative product was added to a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) as an external carbon source to enhance nitrogen removal. The results showed that the combined pretreatment improved WAS solubilization, releasing more biodegradable substrates, such as proteins and polysaccharides, from TB-EPS to LB-EPS and S-EPS. The maximum VFA production of 3529 ± 188 mg COD/L was obtained in the combined pretreatment (0.2 g CaO₂/g VS + 70 °C for 60 min), which was 2.1 and 1.4-fold of that obtained from the sole low-thermal pretreatment and the control test, respectively. Consequently, when the fermentative liquid was added as an external denitrification carbon source, the effluent total nitrogen decreased to Class A of the discharge standard for pollutants in rural wastewater treatment plants in most areas of China.

采集了上海地区8家不同类型的涂料制造企业中不同生产环节有组织排放的废气样本,分析其VOCs组分特征和活性VOCs物种,并应用3种实际排放量核算方法计算企业的VOCs年排放量,分析了其与排污许可排放量的关系。结果表明：1)涂料制造行业排放废气的特征组分为芳香烃、OVOCs、卤代烃,占全部VOCs质量浓度的56.2%~99.1%,乙酸乙酯、乙酸丁酯、4-乙基甲苯、间/对二甲苯、甲苯、甲乙酮是涂料制造行业VOCs排放的典型物种;2)基于MIR值法的计算结果,芳香烃和OVOCs是涂料制造行业排放VOCs的主要活性组分,累计OFP贡献率达36.0%~99.8%,其中,4-乙基甲苯(52.1%)、氯乙烯(48.1%)、乙酸丁酯(47.9%)、乙酸乙酯(42.6%)、间/对二甲苯(41.3%)是各类涂料工艺废气中OFP贡献率最高的物质,除苯系物、乙酸酯类化合物外,氯乙烯、甲乙酮、四氢呋喃也是涂料制造过程中值得关注的活性物质;3)涂料制造企业车间的有组织废气VOCs排放量占全厂VOCs排放量的75.0%以上,其次是实验室废气,VOCs排放量为3.5%~16.8%。在VOCs实际排放量核算中,使用实测法的核算结果与物料衡算法接近,且计算简便,在正常运行时均低于许可排放限值;而产污系数法所核算数值较许可排放限值更高,在现阶段可作为一项惩罚性计算方法。

游离态氨基酸对羊角月牙藻的生物有效性

采用实验室模拟培养试验,以6种个体氨基酸——丝氨酸、天冬氨酸、谷氨酸、甘氨酸、丙氨酸和精氨酸为唯一氮源,采用一次性培养的方法,在无菌条件下,研究羊角月牙藻对不同种类个体氨基酸和不同浓度混合氨基酸的利用潜能。结果表明:藻细胞在生长过程中会释放氨基酸增加水体中氨基酸浓度,同时,藻类可迅速并直接利用多种游离态氨基酸快速生长。氨基酸浓度在培养周期的前2天减少90%以上,藻细胞数在第6~8天达到最大,说明藻细胞的生长滞后于游离氨基酸浓度的下降;在个体氨基酸试验中,藻细胞对氨基酸的利用程度为精氨酸>丙氨酸>谷氨酸>天门冬氨酸>丝氨酸>甘氨酸;在混合氨基酸试验中,藻细胞的比增殖速率明显高于个体氨基酸试验组,且随混合氨基酸浓度的增加,最大藻细胞生物量增加;羊角月牙藻在利用个体氨基酸的同时也会释放其他种类的氨基酸,其中,天冬氨酸和甘氨酸的释放浓度最大。羊角月牙藻在无机氮缺乏情况下,能迅速利用氨基酸。     

进料频率对餐厨垃圾与剩余污泥中温共发酵系统稳定性的影响

考察系统负荷(以COD计)为11.36 g·(L·d)-1时,6种不同进料频率下,餐厨垃圾和剩余污泥中温厌氧共发酵过程中产气量、气体组分、SCOD、pH和挥发性脂肪酸(VFAs)的变化,旨在明确进料频率对系统稳定性的影响,同时结合单一VFA的产甲烷动力学特性,探明系统不稳定的原因。结果表明,进料频率较高时,进料周期内系统的气体组分、SCOD和pH无明显变化,产气量呈线性增长,且基本无VFA积累。随着进料频率降低,进料初期过快的水解酸化导致SCOD和VFAs浓度呈现明显的先升高后逐渐降低的趋势,从而导致pH和甲烷含量波动明显。当进料频率为1 次·d-1时,系统中pH降至7.5,甲烷含量降至45.4%,丙酸占总有机酸的比例最高可达87.9%。相比乙酸而言,丙酸在甲烷化过程中存在的延滞期(1.21 h)及较低的甲烷化速率(5.01 mL·h-1)可能是导致存在丙酸积累的低频进料系统中稳定性较差的原因之一。     

Fatty acids composition of Caenorhabditis elegans using accurate mass GCMS-QTOF

The free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a proven model organism for lipid metabolism research. Total lipids of C. elegans were extracted using chloroform and methanol in 2:1 ratio (v/v). Fatty acids composition of the extracted total lipids was converted to their corresponding fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs) and analyzed by gas chromatography/accurate mass quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry using both electron ionization and chemical ionization techniques. Twenty-eight fatty acids consisting of 12 to 22 carbon atoms were identified, 65% of them were unsaturated. Fatty acids containing 12 to17 carbons were mostly saturated with stearic acid (18:0) as the major constituent. Several branched-chain fatty acids were identified. Methyl-14-methylhexadecanoate (iso- 17:0) was the major identified branched fatty acid. This is the first report to detect the intact molecular parent ions of the identified fatty acids in C. elegans using chemical ionization compared to electron ionization which produced fragmentations of the FAMEs.     

基于磷脂脂肪酸法分析A+OSA污泥减量工艺微生物群落结构

以传统缺氧-好氧(AO) 工艺为参照,采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)分析技术研究了缺氧-好氧-沉淀-厌氧(A+OSA)污泥减量工艺微生物生物量变化及群落结构分布特征。结果表明,参照工艺及减量工艺PLFAs组成以饱和脂肪酸、支链脂肪酸和单不饱和脂肪酸为主,并含有少量环丙烷脂肪酸和羟基脂肪酸。减量工艺污泥减量主要是源于贮泥池中污泥衰减,好氧菌和革兰氏阴性菌(G-菌)为与污泥衰减相关的微生物类群。真菌含量变化表明,减量工艺有抑制真菌生长的作用。减量工艺由于贮泥池的插入造成其微生物群落结构与参照工艺有显著不同,减量工艺缺氧池与好氧池微生物群落结构相似度提高。     

ENHANCEMENTS OF NONPOINT SOURCE MONITORING OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN GROUND WATER1

ABSTRACT: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has compiled a national retrospective data set of analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ground water of the United States. The data are from Federal, State, and local nonpoint‐source monitoring programs, collected between 1985–95. This data set is being used to augment data collected by the USGS National Water‐Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program to ascertain the occurrence of VOCs in ground water nationwide. Eleven attributes of the retrospective data set were evaluated to determine the suitability of the data to augment NAWQA data in answering occurrence questions of varying complexity. These 11 attributes are the VOC analyte list and the associated reporting levels for each VOC, well type, well‐casing material, type of openings in the interval (screened interval or open hole), well depth, depth to the top and bottom of the open interval(s), depth to water level in the well, aquifer type (confined or unconfined), and aquifer lithology. VOCs frequently analyzed included solvents, industrial reagents, and refrigerants, but other VOCs of current interest were not frequently analyzed. About 70 percent of the sampled wells have the type of well documented in the data set, and about 74 percent have well depth documented. However, the data set generally lacks documentation of other characteristics, such as well‐casing material, information about the screened or open interval(s), depth to water level in the well, and aquifer type and lithology. For example, only about 20 percent of the wells include information on depth to water level in the well and only about 14 percent of the wells include information about aquifer type. The three most important enhancements to VOC data collected in nonpoint‐source monitoring programs for use in a national assessment of VOC occurrence in ground water would be an expanded VOC analyte list, recording the reporting level for each analyte for every analysis, and recording key ancillary information about each well. These enhancements would greatly increase the usefulness of VOC data in addressing complex occurrence questions, such as those that seek to explain the reasons for VOC occurrence and nonoccurrence in ground water of the United States.
