c-di-GMP在低温好氧颗粒污泥形成过程中的作用

在低温条件下运行好氧颗粒污泥反应器,絮状污泥颗粒化过程中信号分子可通过传导作用引起各层物质之间的组分变化,通过研究胞外聚合物及污泥相关疏水性的变化规律,并观察此过程中微生物菌群的群落演替特点,揭示环二鸟苷酸（c-di-GMP）在低温好氧颗粒污泥形成过程中的变化规律与影响作用.结果表明：接种污泥在颗粒化过程中,胞外聚合物含量从48mg/gMLVSS增长至139mg/gMLVSS,其中以TB层蛋白质增长为主,在颗粒化过程中,c-di-GMP含量由62μg/gMLVSS增至600μg/gMLVSS,始终影响微生物运动及生物膜形成,促使具备胞外聚合物分泌功能的菌群加快分泌胞外聚合物,促进好氧颗粒污泥的形成.各个阶段污泥中微生物种群存在较大差异,在反应器运行初始阶段与c-di-GMP合成相关的菌群占据优势,同时在后期表现出较好的脱氮除磷能力,在低温条件下好氧颗粒污泥微生物菌群发生演替并最终形成稳定的菌群结构.

Acute and chronic toxicity of nickel to nitrifiers at different temperatures

This study investigated the acute nickel toxicity on nitrification of low ammonia synthetic wastewater at 10, 23, and 35°C. The nickel inhibition half-velocity constants(K_(I,Ni)) for ammonia oxidizing bacteria(AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria(NOB) based on Ni/MLSS ratio at 10, 23, and 35°C were 5.4 and 5.6 mg Ni/g MLSS, 4.6 and 3.5 mg Ni/g MLSS, and 9.1 and 2.7 mg Ni/g MLSS, respectively. In addition, chronic toxicity of nickel to nitrification of low ammonia synthetic wastewater was investigated at 10°C in two sequencing batch reactors(SBRs). Long-term SBRs operation and short-term batch tests were comparable with respect to the extent of inhibition and corresponding Ni/MLSS ratio. The μ_(max), b, and K_o of AOB were 0.16 day~(-1), 0.098 day~(-1) and 2.08 mg O_2/L after long-term acclimatization to nickel of 1 mg/L at 10°C, high dissolved oxygen(DO)(7 mg/L) and long solids retention time(SRT) of 63–70 days. Acute nickel toxicity of nitrifying bacteria was completely reversible.

采用生物沥浸耦合类Fenton氧化工艺对城市污泥进行了调理研究.结果表明,在升华硫和Fe SO4·7H2O投量分别为3g·L-1和8 g·L-1时,污泥p H从6.9降至2.5约需1 d,满足类Fenton氧化的适宜酸性条件.生物沥浸处理后,污泥挥发性固体(VS)减少率为13.4%,污泥比阻从3.1×109s2·g-1降至1.5×109s2·g-1,降低51.6%,但仍属于难脱水污泥.沥浸污泥继续经类Fenton氧化调理,调理的最佳H2O2投量和反应时间分别为3.3 g·L-1和60 min.处理后污泥VS减少率为30.8%,污泥比阻和滤饼含水率分别为1.9×108s2·g-1和76.9%,污泥比阻降低93.9%,污泥脱水性能和稳定性能得到显著提高.此外,该联合工艺对污泥的调理效果优于类Fenton氧化单独调理.     

微塑料诱导下污泥造粒潜能变化及微生物富集特征

微塑料(MPs)是污水处理厂中普遍检出的新兴污染物之一,目前研究主要集中于传统污水处理系统的污染水平及分布特征,但有关微塑料暴露对污泥颗粒化过程的研究鲜见报道.为探究微塑料对污泥颗粒化的诱导影响,选用环境中广泛检出的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯微塑料(PET-MPs)作为研究对象,通过微塑料暴露试验研究PET-MPs对污泥造粒过程中系统潜能、胞外聚合物(EPS)组成和菌群富集特征的影响.结果表明,PET-MPs暴露显著加快污泥颗粒化进程,同时以蛋白质(PN)为主导的EPS含量上升会增强污泥表面疏水性,造粒速度和EPS分泌量与暴露粒径成正比,微塑料和EPS协同促进颗粒污泥的形成.然而微塑料持续暴露会导致系统除污性能恶化,250μm PET-MPs暴露下亚硝酸盐氮积累的负面影响最严重,浓度高达(5.08±0.24)mg·L^-1.高通量测序结果进一步表明,变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidota)是促进颗粒污泥形成的主要优势门;红环菌科(Rhodocyclaceae)、鞘氨醇杆菌科(Sphingomonadaceae)、黄杆菌科(Flavob...     

Advisory Committee: A Powerful Tool for Helping Decision Makers in Environmental Issues

/ It has been suggested that the general public should be moreinvolved in environmental policy and decision making. It is important forthem to realize that they will have to live with the consequences ofenvironmental policies and decisions. Consequently, policy makers shouldconsider the concerns and opinions of the general public before makingdecisions on environmental issues. This raises questions such as: How can weintegrate the perceptions and reactions of the general population inenvironmental decisions? What kind of public participation should weconsider? In the present study, using a new regional ecosystem model, weattempted to integrate these aspects in its decision making model byincluding the formation of an advisory committee to resolve problems relatedto waste management. The advisory committee requested the activeparticipation of representatives from all levels of the community: economic,municipal, and governmental intervenors; environmental groups; and citizens.Their mandates were to examine different management strategies available inthe region, considering all the interdisciplinary aspects of each strategy,elaborate recommendations concerning the management strategies that are mostsuitable for all, and collaborate in communication of the information to thegeneral population. The results showed that at least in small municipalitiessuch an advisory committee can be a powerful tool in environmental decisionmaking. Conditions required for a successful consultation process, such aseveryday lay language and the presence of a facilitator other than ascientific expert, are discussed.KEY WORDS: Public consultation; Environmental policies;Interdisciplinary aspects; Municipal sewage sludge management; Generalpopulation; Decision-making process     

The Effects of Ocean Disposal of Sewage Sludge On the Relative Abundance of Benthic Megafauna

Disposal of sewage sludge in the New York Bight Apex (12-Mile Dump Site) ceased at the end of December 1987. Previous efforts to quantify the effects of sludge were hindered by the inability to obtain true replication. the cessation of dumping afforded the opportunity to apply the technique of replication in time, also known as a Before/After, Control/Impact design. Conditionally, this method allows one to separate treatment effects from the natural differences that confound many environmental impact studies. the Environmental Processes Division of the Northeast Fisheries Center, National Marine Fisheries Service sampled the benthic environment of the New York Bight Apex from June 1986 through September 1989 using a sample design based on the technique of replication in time.

Three dominant species (rock crab, Cancer irroratus; little skate; Raja erinacea; and winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus) and total demersal finfish, collected by otter trawl, showed no statistically significant response to the cessation of disposal. American lobster (Homarus americanus) increased in local abundance, but this result was possibly confounded by a change in fishing effort.

聚糖菌颗粒污泥基于胞内储存物质的同步硝化反硝化

采用特殊运行方式的厌氧-好氧SBR系统(厌氧后排水),以乙酸钠为有机基质成功富集了聚糖菌颗粒污泥.聚糖菌颗粒污泥厌氧-好氧批式实验表明,聚糖菌颗粒污泥具有较强的SND能力,TOC/N分别为5.0,4.0,2.8时,SND效率分别96.4%、95.3%及96.2%,而周期总氮去除效率随着碳氮比降低而降低,分别为66.0%、61.2%及56.3%.通过对周期氨氮、亚硝酸盐氮、硝酸盐氮、TOC以及胞内糖原、PHB变化的测定分析,证明聚糖菌颗粒污泥SND过程中,污泥以厌氧阶段储存于胞内的多聚物PHB作为反硝化碳源,并且反硝化聚糖菌是系统中反硝化能力的来源.与溶解性基质相比,PHB的降解速率相对较低,因此在SND过程中,反硝化可以与硝化保持相近的速率,从而有助于获得良好的SND效果.

根据微生物生长机理,推导出微生物的耦合作用机理并在该机理的基础上改进了ASM3 Bio-P模型.假设活性污泥系统中有机物氧化过程、生物硝化过程、生物反硝化过程、生物除磷过程可同时存在,在ASM3 Bio-P模型上添加相关的开关函数,推导出完全耦合活性污泥模型(FCASM).基于计算机程序进行数值模拟,并将FCASM模拟结果与实测值以及ASM3 Bio-P模型模拟值进行对比.结果表明,完全耦合活性污泥模型对氨氮模拟的稳态出水值为1.90 g·m-3,ASM3 Bio-P模型模拟的氨氮稳态出水值为0 g·m-3,而实测的氨氮稳态出水值为1.50 g·m-3,完全耦合活性污泥模型的结果更接近真实值.
