Sludge concentration dynamic distribution and its impact on the performance of UNITANK

UNITANK is a biological wastewater treatment process that combines the advantages of traditional activated sludge process and sequencing batch reactor, which is divided into Tank A, B and C. In this study, the sludge distribution and its impact on performance of UNITANK were carried out in Liede Wastewater Plant （WWTP） of Guangzhou, China. Results showed that there was a strong affiliation between Tank A and B of the system in sludge concentration distribution. The initial sludge concentration in Tank A could present the sludge distribution of the whole system. The sludge distribution was mainly influenced by hydraulic condition. Unsteady sludge distribution had an impact on variations of substrates in reactors, especially in decisive reactor, and this could lead to failure of system. Settler could partially remove substrates such as COD and NO3-N, but there was adventure of sludge deterioration. The rational initial sludge concentration in Tank A should be 4000-6000 mg/L MLSS.     

Topsoil organic carbon mineralization and CO2 evolution of three paddy soils from South China and the temperature dependence

Carbon mineralization and its response to climatic warming have been receiving global attention for the last decade. Although the virtual influence of temperature effect is still in great debate, little is known on the mineralization of organic carbon （SOC） of paddy soils of China under warming. SOC mineralization of three major types of China＇s paddy soils is studied through laboratory incubation for 114 d under soil moisture regime of 70% water holding capacity at 20℃ and 25℃ respectively. The carbon that mineralized as CO2 evolved was measured every day in the first 32 d and every two days in the following days. Carbon mineralized during the 114 d incubation ranged from 3.51 to 9.22 mg CO2-C/gC at 20℃ and from 4.24 to 11.35 mg CO2-C/gC at 25℃ respectively; and a mineralizable C pool in the range of 0.24 to 0.59 gC/kg, varying with different soils. The whole course of C mineralization in the 114 d incubation could be divided into three stages of varying rates, representing the three subpools of the total mineralizable C： very actively mineralized C at 1-23 d, actively tnineralized C at 24--74 d and a slowly mineralized pool with low and more or less stabilized C mineralization rate at 75-114 d. The calculated Q10 values ranged from 1.0 to 2.4, varying with the soil types and N status. Neither the total SOC pool nor the labile C pool could account for the total mineralization potential of the soils studied, despite a well correlation of labile C with the shortly and actively mineralized C, which were shown in sensitive response to soil warming. However, the portion of microbial C pool and the soil C/N ratio controlled the C mineralization and the temperature dependence. Therefore, C sequestration may not result in an increase of C mineralization proportionally. The relative control of C bioavailability and microbial metabolic activity on C mineralization with respect to stabilization of sequestered C in the paddy soils of China is to be further studied.     

Organic matter and concentrated nitrogen removal by shortcut nitrification and denitrification from mature municipal landfill leachate

An UASB＋Anoxic/Oxic （A/O） system was introduced to treat a mature landfill leachate with low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and high ammonia concentration. To make the best use of the biodegradable COD in the leaehate, the denitrifieation of NOx^--N in the reeireulation effluent from the elarifier was carried out in the UASB. The results showed that most biodegradable organic matters were removed by the denitrifieation in the UASB. The NH4^＋-N loading rate （ALR） of A/O reactor and operational temperature was 0.28- 0.60 kg NH4^＋-N/（m^3-d） and 17-29℃ during experimental period, respectively. The short-cut nitrification with nitrite accumulation efficiency of 90%-99% was stabilized during the whole experiment. The NH4^＋-N removal efficiency varied between 90% and 100%. When ALR was less than 0.45 kg NH4^＋-N/（m^3.d）, the NH4^＋-N removal efficiency was more than 98%. With the influent NH4^＋-N of 1200-1800 mg/L, the effluent NH4^＋-N was less than 15 mg/L. The shortcut nitrification and denitrifieation can save 40% carbon source, with a highly efficient denitrifieation taking place in the UASB. When the ratio of the feed COD to feed NH4^＋-N was only 2-3, the total inorganic nitrogen （TIN） removal efficiency attained 67%-80%. Besides, the sludge samples from A/O reactor were analyzed using FISH. The FISH analysis revealed that ammonia oxidation bacteria （AOB） accounted for 4% of the total eubaeterial population, whereas nitrite oxidation bacteria （NOB） accounted only for 0.2% of the total eubaeterial population.

长江河口近岸水体自然净化作用及其初步评价

按照水体的净化机理，结合长江口和上海滨岸带近岸水体的物理、化学和生物等因素的实际特征，对近岸水体的自然净化作用进行了阐述和分析。并在历史资料和实测资料基础上，就近岸水体的自然净化作用进行了评价。评价结果表明，因长江河口近岸水体存在较强的自然净化作用机制，近岸水体体的自然净化能力较强，环境容量较大，但由于污染物输入量的不断增加，部分岸段近岸水体的环境质量有逐渐下降的趋势；近岸水体的自然净化作用具有明显的季节性变化，长江口南岸水域洪水季节水体的自然净化作用比估水季节强，而杭州湾北岸水域的自然净化作用表现为相反的变化趋势，因此建议在近岸污水排放过程中应考虑近岸水体的净化能力，遵循水体的自然净化作用规律。     

流域水权初始分配机制中的节水激励

目前,永资源短缺的问题普遍存在,如何利用非工程手段解决水资源的供需矛盾开始成为研究的焦点。水权翩度能够对人们的用水行为产生积极的或消极的影响,而水权初始分配机制是水权制度运行的基础,该机制是否能够激励用水者不断地开发应用节水技术以及在更广泛的领域内减少浪费行为,对于有效地控制用水需求,缓解水资源危机具有十分重要的意义。本文通过构建流域水权初始分配机制节水激励模型,考察在以指标法为基础的水权初始分配过程中,流域各地区可以控制并且能够影响水权分配结果的因素,分析其可能进行的行为选择以及对水资源节约的影响。研究结果表明,决策者可以通过平衡选择现状用水量权重．延长水权初始分配份额的有效期,以及对节水工程投资和水利工程投资进行补贴等手段,使水权初始分配机制在长期内发挥节水激励作用．不仅能够提高各地区的经济收益,并且能够缓解水资源的供需矛盾。实现流域的可持续发展。

环境内分泌干扰物的联合作用已经是目前研究的重点.采用重组基因酵母检测法,分别测定了双酚A (BPA)、双酚AF(BPAF)、双酚AP(BPAP)、双酚F(BPF)4种双酚化合物的雌激素活性,并依据其测定结果,按照等效浓度比,设计了浓度比分别为EC₁₀和EC₅₀的6种二元混合物并测定了其雌激素活性.结果表明,这4种化合物的剂量-效应关系都可以用Weibull函数有效描述,BPA、BPAF、BPAP、BPF的EC₅₀值分别为：6.81×10^-6、7.44×10^-7、1.43×10^-5、7.52×10^-6 mol·L^-1,其雌激素活性大小顺序为：BPAF>BPA>BPF>BPAP.依据不同的联合作用判断方法对这4种化合物的联合效应进行判断,结果表明,相同化合物的不同混合比例可能对联合作用方式产生影响,采用DA和IA预测模型可以更加直观、方便地判断联合作用的类型,而且可以反映出不同混合比例对联合作用的影响.     

污泥增活剂影响MBR处理效果试验研究

向一体式膜生物反应器(Membrane Bioreactor,MBR)中投加污泥增活剂,与普通MBR进行试验对比,考察了污泥增活剂-MBR复合工艺对污染物去除的强化作用及对混合液污泥特性的影响。结果表明,污泥增活剂不仅提高了COD和氨氮的去除效果,而且由于增活剂与污泥形成的生物团粒的有效作用使系统总氮去除率提高10%以上。污泥增活剂-MBR中污泥混合液胞外聚合物(extra-cellular polymeric substances,EPS)含量高于MBR,上清液溶解性微生物产物(soluble microbial products,SMP)和Zeta电位相对较低,及EPS与SMP和Zeta电位的变化对应规律,说明污泥增活剂使EPS含量升高,促进了污泥活性的提高。较低的SMP浓度将降低膜自身污染的程度,活性炭的作用可使泥饼层结构疏松,能够减缓泥饼层带来的膜通量下降。
