石油污染从微观修复到生态调控的生态学转变

石油污染已成为全球较为突出的环境问题,制约了经济与生态环境的协调发展.生物修复虽具备绿色低碳和高效安全等优点,但随着污染的复杂化和严重化,单一的生物修复已难以满足修复目的.而以生物修复为基础的生态修复能够统筹碳中和与生态环境保护,协同推进减污降碳,保证土壤和沉积物履行生态系统服务功能的持续能力,最终实现土壤健康和沉积物健康.因此,从生物修复到生态修复的转变是现阶段环境治理和生态系统维护的最优选择.在此,首先剖析了不同生物修复技术中石油烃微观去除机制,并且从生态学角度探讨了不同生物修复技术的种类及特点.基于此,深入分析了生物修复向生态修复转变的必要性.最后对生态修复发展进行了合理展望,以期为石油污染生态修复的优化提供理论支撑.     

Screening of wood rotting fungi potentially useful for the degradation of organic pollutants

Many papers have shown that white rot fungi can degrade aromatic pollutants under laboratory conditions, but few report field scale trials. Here we report the first steps in the development of a remediation system for Greek conditions. A review of the available organochlorine compound pollution information in Greece is presented. White rot fungi isolated from sites in Greece have been screened for growth rate and ligninolytic activity, using decolourisation of the dye Poly R-478 as an indicator of enzyme activity. Use of white rot fungi under field conditions in Greece will require bioaugmentation to be effective at high temperatures and low water activity for much of the year. The most potent strains have been selected under a range of conditions and have been challenged with priority pollutants to determine their degradative ability under laboratory conditions and subsequently ex situ in soil.     

Dissipation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and microbial activity in a field soil planted with perennial ryegrass

Dissipation and plant uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated agricultural soil planted with perennial ryegrass were investigated in a field experiment. After two seasons of grass cultivation the mean concentration of 12 PAHs in soil decreased by 23.4% compared with the initial soil. The 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-ring PAHs were dissipated by 30.9%, 25.5%, 21.2%, and 16.3% from the soil, respectively. Ryegrass shoots accumulated about 280 μg·kg^-1, shoot dry matter biomass reached 2.48 × 10⁴ kg·ha^-1, and plant uptake accounted for about 0.99% of the decrease in PAHs in the soil. Significantly higher soil enzyme activities and microbial community functional diversity were observed in planted soil than that in the unplanted control. The results suggest that planting ryegrass may promote the dissipation of PAHs in long-term contaminated agricultural soil, and plant-promoted microbial degradation may be a main mechanism of phytoremediation.

北美海蓬子生态浮床对养殖海水的净化和对虾的增产效果

为了探讨不同覆盖面积生态浮床对养殖海水的净化效果及其对北美海蓬子和南美白对虾生长的影响,以不设置浮床为对照,在养殖对虾的水面上设置了3种不同面积北美海蓬子生态浮床,覆盖面积分别为25%、50%和75%。实验进行期间每2 d监测1次水质,实验结束后测定海蓬子和对虾产量,并对氮和磷进行衡算。结果表明：15 d后,50%覆盖面积生态浮床对水体总氮、铵态氮、硝态氮和CODMn的去除效果最好,去除率分别为 44.90%、34.43%、44.45%和35.64%;75%覆盖面积生态浮床对水体总磷的去除效果最好,去除率为30.32%;各处理间pH、溶解氧和温度没有显著性差异,但盐度随浮床面积增加而有所下降;各处理间海蓬子生长没有显著性差异,但对虾产量差异显著,以50%处理的产量最高,比不设置浮床增产7.8倍;设置浮床后,水体和其他途径总氮减少,海蓬子和对虾总氮增加,水体总磷和对虾总磷减少,其他途径和海蓬子总磷增加。北美海蓬子生态浮床对养殖海水具有显著的净化效果,对虾具有显著的增产效果,其中以50%覆盖面积效果最佳。

对在城市内河底泥有机质与有机氮含量高的特殊环境下进行水体修复的可行性与修复方法进行了探讨.富含高有机氮的城市内河底泥是氮素的重要释放源,采用向水体曝气可以有效地促使总氮与NH3-N的降解,与未曝气相比,10 d后曝气条件下二者的去除率分别达到81%和92%;此时再以土著水生植物进行修复可以显著地提高水体修复的效果、稳定性与修复成功率,并使总氮、NH3-N维持在1 ms/L和0.5 ms/L以下.但应避免城市内河有效光辐射的减少对水体修复影响.     

Multi tracer test for the implementation of enhanced in-situ bioremediation at a BTEX-contaminated megasite

At the Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig-Halle (UFZ) research site in Zeitz, Germany, benzene contaminates the lower of two aquifers with concentrations of up to 20 mg/l. Since the benzene plume has a minimum length of approximately 1 km, enhanced natural attenuation measures are being considered as a remediation strategy. This study describes the performance and evaluation of a multi-species reactive tracer test using the tracers fluorescein and bromide as conservative tracers and toluene as reactive tracer. Sampling was performed over a period of six months using a detailed network of multilevel sampling wells. Toluene was only slightly retarded in comparison to bromide, whereas fluorescein was retarded considerably stronger. Therefore, it was not possible to use fluorescein as an in situ tracer for the determination of groundwater velocities. The ionic nature of fluorescein is assumed to be the major reason for its retardation. The results show that the infiltration conditions were suitable to produce a wide spreading of the tracer front along the full thickness of the aquifer. Thus, a large aquifer volume can be treated in future enhanced bioremediation measures. The total quantity of infiltrated toluene (24 l) was degraded under sulfate-reducing conditions over a flow path of 50 m. Benzylsuccinate was identified as a metabolite of toluene degradation under sulfate-reducing conditions at this site. The modelling results show that toluene degradation was described more accurately using Monod kinetics than first-order kinetics. Since toluene was only slightly retarded in comparison to bromide, sorption and desorption processes were considered to be negligible.     

Depolymerization of polyaromatic hydrocarbons by Penicillium spp. inhabit the phyllosphere of urban ornamental plants

A variety of anthropogenic sources release hazardous polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the phyllosphere which is an excellent niche for diverse fungi, and some of them have PAHs degradation capabilities. Therefore, this research attempted to determine the PAHs (phenanthrene, anthracene, naphthalene, and pyrene) degradation capability of phyllosphere inhabited Penicillium species. The leaf samples were collected from highly polluted urban areas (Panchikawatta, Pettah, Orugodawatta, Maradana, Sapugaskanda, and Colombo Fort) in Sri Lanka to isolate fungal species inhabiting the phyllosphere. Furthermore, their distribution patterns among the leaf tissue layers were studied using bright-field microscopic observations. Moreover, the best PAH degraders were screened out using plate assays and confirmed through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Further, their enzymatic activities during the PAHs degradation were analyzed. As per the microscopic observations, the highest fungal distribution was in the upper epidermis of the leaves followed by the fungal distribution in the interspaces of palisade mesophyll layers. Out of isolated fungal species, two Penicillium spp. (Penicillium citrinum P₂₃B-91 and Penicillium griseofulvum P₉B - 30) showed the highest PAHs (phenanthrene, anthracene, naphthalene, and pyrene) degradation capabilities. Manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme dominated phenanthrene degradation in P. griseofulvum P₉B - 30, which showed the highest phenanthrene degradation ability (61%). In addition, P. citrinum P23B-91 was good at degrading anthracene (88%) and also displayed a higher MnP activity during the anthracene degradation than laccase and lignin peroxidase activities. The discoveries from the toxicity assay during the PAHs degradation processes revealed that the produced byproducts had no toxic effects on the fungal growth cycle and the phyllosphere. Therefore this phyllosphere Penicillium spp. are ideal for the bioremediation of polluted air in urbanized areas.
