Modification of nitrifying biofilm into nitritating one by combination of increased free ammonia concentrations, lowered HRT and dissolved oxygen concentration

Nitrifying biomass on ring-shaped carriers was modified to nitritating one in a relatively short period of time (37 days) by limiting the air supply, changing the aeration regime, shortening the hydraulic retention time and increasing free ammonia (FA) concentration in the moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). The most efficient strategy for the development and maintenance of nitritating biofilm was found to be the inhibition of nitrifying activity by higher FA concentrations (up to 6.5 mg/L) in the process. Reject water from sludge treatment from the Tallinn Wastewater Treatment Plant was used as substrate in the MBBR. The performance of high-surfaced biocarriers taken from the nitritating activity MBBR was further studied in batch tests to investigate nitritation and nitrification kinetics with various FA concentrations and temperatures. The maximum nitrite accumulation ratio (96.6%) expressed as the percentage of NO2??-N/NOx??-N was achieved for FA concentration of 70 mg/L at 36°C. Under the same conditions the specific nitrite oxidation rate achieved was 30 times lower than the specific nitrite formation rate. It was demonstrated that in the biofilm system, inhibition by FA combined with the optimization of the main control parameters is a good strategy to achieve nitritating activity and suppress nitrification.     

F-对弱吸附间苯二酚光催化降解效率的提升:游离·OH的作用

传统的光催化降解机制认为是光激发产生的氧化活性物质优先对吸附在催化剂表面的污染物分子进行降解,因此,弱吸附性有机物难以接触到光催化剂并发生降解.为探究提升弱吸附有机物光催化降解的机理,本文构建了一个高暴露{001}晶面TiO_2({001}-TiO_2)降解弱吸附间苯二酚(RE)的光催化体系.实验结果表明,所制备的{001}-TiO_2具有强亲水性,并能提供大量的F~-吸附位点.RE在{001}-TiO_2表面的吸附能力很弱,并且光催化降解效果很差.F~-的加入可使RE的光催化降解速率提升近3倍.通过自由基猝灭实验发现,RE的降解主要取决于溶液中游离羟基自由基(·OH)的作用,由于F~-能与{001}-TiO_2亲水表面的羟基及·OH形成强烈的竞争吸附,从而使·OH游离到溶液中氧化降解RE.EPR测试进一步证实了F~-不仅可以促使TiO_2产生更多的游离·OH,同时也能激发产生更多超氧自由基(·O~-_2),推测·O~-_2主要由有效分离的光生电子与O_2或·OH反应生成.综上,本研究明确了游离·OH对弱吸附RE的光催化降解效率起决定作用,F~-促使游离自由基产生的机制可为弱吸附有机污染物的降解提供新思路.

近年来,新型环境风险物质环境持久性自由基（EPFRs）被发现广泛分布于不同来源的环境介质中,如燃烧颗粒物、土壤/沉积物、天然有机质等.因其稳定性、持久性,且可以随着环境介质迁移和转化,EPFRs的生态环境风险可能被忽视.基于此,本文系统总结了存在于环境介质中的EPFRs,并归纳其分布特征;阐述了其介导的组织损伤,包括肺损伤、心血管损伤、神经毒性损伤、DNA以及细胞色素等生物大分子损伤;详述了主要由氧化应激、炎症、免疫反应以及代谢异常引起的损伤机理;最后,总结并展望了有关研究所存在的问题和未来研究方向,以期为EPFRs的生态健康风险评价和政策标准制定提供参考.     

Effect of crystalline structure on terbuthylazine degradation by H2O2-assisted TiO2 photocatalysis under visible irradiation

Various methods for shifting the optical response of TiO₂ into the visible (Vis) range have been reported. Herein, we reported the application of a TiO₂/H₂O₂/Vis process and the effects of TiO2 crystalline structure on the degradation of terbuthylazine. The results indicated that TiO₂ crystalline structure and H₂O₂ addition had significant effects on terbuthylazine degradation: its degradation rate could be increased from 7% to 70% with H₂O₂ addition after 180?min of reaction, the synergistic degradation of terbuthylazine by TiO₂-Fe^{3 +} was substantially accelerated, with the degradation rate reaching up to 100% after 20?min of reaction, and rutile TiO₂ showed better photocatalytic activity and a more obvious synergistic effect than anatase TiO₂. The addition of free-radical scavengers (tert-butyl alcohol or methanol) inhibited the degradation efficiency of rutile TiO₂, but had a relatively minor effect on anatase TiO₂. Fluorescence spectrophotometry analysis indicated that hydroxyl free radicals could be continuously produced when using rutile TiO₂ as the photocatalyst. Degradation of terbuthylazine catalyzed by rutile TiO₂ occurred mainly in solution, but occurred on the particle surface of the photocatalyst when catalyzed by anatase TiO₂. This study provides new insight into the role of TiO₂ crystalline structure on the degradation of terbuthylazine and its photocatalytic degradation mechanism.     

紫外活化过硫酸钠灭活水中噬菌体MS2的特性及机制

水环境中的病毒对常见的消毒技术有较强的抵抗力.为了开发水中病毒的高效灭活技术,以噬菌体MS2为对象,研究紫外活化过硫酸钠（UV/PS）体系灭活病毒的特性和机制.采用双层平板法对噬菌体MS2进行定量检测,研究UV/PS对水样中噬菌体MS2的灭活率和动力学特征,并考察PS用量、pH值和噬菌体初始浓度等因素对灭活效果的影响.利用透射扫描电镜观察UV/PS处理前后噬菌体的形貌,利用电子顺磁共振波谱法确认反应体系中存在的自由基种类.在自由基淬灭实验的基础上,分析计算UV/PS体系中各因素对噬菌体灭活的贡献率.结果表明,当紫外辐照强度为160 μW·cm^-2时,UV/PS处理4 min即可去除4.39 lg的噬菌体MS2,较单独使用同样辐照剂量的UV消毒灭活率高1.44 lg.UV/PS体系对噬菌体MS2的灭活动力学过程符合一级反应动力学模型.增加体系中的PS初始浓度能明显提高对噬菌体的灭活率和灭活速率,而pH和噬菌体初始浓度对UV/PS灭活噬菌体的影响较小.UV/PS处理可导致噬菌体的衣壳破损,促进了噬菌体颗粒团聚.UV/PS体系中存在SO₄^-·和·OH,是噬菌体MS2灭活的重要因素.·OH比SO₄^-·对噬菌体MS2灭活的贡献更大.

在序批式反应器(SBR)中处理实际生活污水,并接种城市污水处理厂活性污泥,培养出表层附着大量累枝虫的好氧颗粒污泥.运行120 d时,颗粒污泥浓度可达4482 mg·L-1,污泥容积指数(SVI)为55 m L·g-1左右,颗粒的粒径主要在1.6~2.5 mm之间,平均沉速为55.4 m·h-1,累枝虫密度可达30450 ind·m L-1.CODCr和NH+4-N的平均去除率分别为87.9%和91.8%.采用直接免疫荧光法证实累枝虫可吞食游离细菌,能有效减少出水SS,且出水SS与累枝虫的密度变化整体呈相反趋势.表层附着生长的累枝虫略微降低了颗粒污泥的沉速.结构分析可看出累枝虫根植于颗粒表层,柄的部分成为颗粒污泥的"骨架",有利于颗粒污泥结构强度和稳定性.     

pH控制生物膜移动床反应器完全亚硝化的研究

接种硝化污泥以优势菌种法挂膜,在DO浓度为1.5～2.0 mg/L,温度为(30±1)℃,HRT为24 h的条件下,以pH控制启动移动床完全亚硝化生物膜反应器,并研究了氨氮负荷(NLR)和水力停留时间(HRT)对系统稳定性的影响.结果表明,在进水氨氮浓度为150 mg/L的情况下,pH控制在7.7～8.2,经过10 d驯化生物膜系统达稳定的完全亚硝化状态,氨氮转化率达96%以上,亚硝酸盐积累率高于95%;NLR(以NH4 -N计)从0.15 kg/(m3·d)提高到0.24 kg/(m3·d)基本不影响完全亚硝化的稳定性,氨氮转化率高于90%,亚硝酸盐积累率始终维持在96%左右;低NLR下,延长HRT由于过度曝气导致硝化类型改变为完全硝化,然而缩短HRT仍可恢复为亚硝化.     

含海水污水的短程硝化反硝化

采用SBR工艺通过控制游离氨(FA)浓度实现了含海水生活污水的短程硝化反硝化脱氮,并研究了不同海水盐度情况下,温度、pH值、NH₄⁺-N负荷等诸因素对短程硝化反硝化的影响.试验结果表明:大生活用水范围内的海水盐度情况下仍可实现短程硝化反硝化,但不同海水盐度情况下的NH₄⁺-N去除率与NHH₄⁺-N负荷有关,随着海水占生活污水比例的增加NH₄⁺-N负荷应逐渐减少.当NH₄⁺-N负荷小于0.15kg/(kg·d)时,短程硝化的NH₄⁺-N去除率仍可达到90%以上.升高温度有利于提高短程硝化脱氮效率,当温度从20℃升高到30℃时,亚硝化比增长速率增加1倍.反应温度应保持在25℃～30℃,pH值的最佳范围为7.5～8.5.较高的进水pH值有利于通过游离氨浓度控制亚硝酸型硝化的形成.
