Study of metabolites from the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments

The PAH metabolites produced during degradation of fluorene, phenanthrene and pyrene by a bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments were analyzed using the on-fiber silylation solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combining with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) method. Seventeen metabolites at trace levels were identified in different PAH degradation cultures based on the full scan mass spectra. In fluorene degradation cultures, 1-, 2-, 3- and 9-hydroxyfluorene, fluorenone, and phthalic acid were detected. In phenanthrene and pyrene degradation cultures, various common metabolites such as phenanthrene and pyrene dihydrodiols, mono-hydroxy phenanthrene, dihydroxy pyrene, lactone and 4-hydroxyphenanthrene, methyl ester, and phthalic acid were found. The detection of various common and novel metabolites demonstrates that SPME combining with GC–MS is a quick and convenient method for identification as well as monitoring the real time changes of metabolite concentrations throughout the degradation processes. The knowledge of PAH metabolic pathways and kinetics within indigenous bacterial consortium enriched from mangrove sediments contributes to enhance the bioremediation efficiency of PAH in real environment.     

Evaluation of photolysis and hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin in aqueous solutions and its degradation products in paddy water

This study evaluated the hydrolysis and photolysis kinetics of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection and identified the resulting metabolites of pyraclostrobin by hydrolysis and photolysis in paddy water using high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography. The effect of solution pH, metal ions and surfactants on the hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin was explored. The hydrolysis half-lives of pyraclostrobin were 23.1–115.5?days and were stable in buffer solution at pH 5.0. The degradation rate of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution under sunlight was slower than that under UV photolysis reaction. The half-lives of pyraclostrobin in a buffer solution at pH 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and in paddy water were less than 12?h under the two light irradiation types. The metabolites of the two processes were identified and compared to further understand the mechanisms underlying hydrolysis and photolysis of pyraclostrobin in natural water. The extracted ions obtained from paddy water were automatically annotated by Compound Discoverer software with manual confirmation of their fragments. Two metabolites were detected and identified in the pyraclostrobin hydrolysis, whereas three metabolites were detected and identified in the photolysis in paddy water.     

不同级配垃圾焚烧底渣固化市政污泥工程特性分析

开展了（炉排炉和流化床炉）两种垃圾焚烧底渣与固化剂共同作用下固化市政污泥的工程特性研究。分析了两种底渣化学成份及物理级配上的差异,重点考察了在密封养护情况下,测定了不同底渣固化体的含水率、pH值、无侧限抗压强度及28d渗透系数等工程特性指标。研究结果表明：相同含量的两种底渣固化体含水率及pH相同,且含水率随底渣含量增加而降低,而pH值随底渣含量增加而增加;随着底渣含量增加,级配良好的炉排炉底渣固化体强度比级配不良的流化床底渣固化体强度从高8 kPa增加到30 kPa;受底渣级配的影响,炉排炉底渣固化体渗透系数随底渣含量增加而增大,而流化床底渣固化体渗透系数基本不变。级配良好的炉排炉底渣固化体工程特性优于级配不良的流化床底渣固化体,具有更强的骨架作用。研究成果为污泥及垃圾焚烧底渣填埋处置提供了科学借鉴。

用作固定SRB碳源的玉米芯的最佳改性条件

针对现阶段玉米芯作为SRB污泥颗粒内聚碳源所带来碳源释放不佳的问题,选用碱性H2O2对玉米芯进行改性,制备成SRB污泥颗粒处理AMD,经过单因素实验和正交实验分析,对玉米芯的最佳改性条件进行研究。结果表明,当玉米芯改性时间24 h,NaOH浓度为6%,H2O2浓度为1.5%,可制得最佳改性玉米芯。制备成SRB污泥颗粒处理AMD后,SO42-、Mn2+和Fe2+去除率分别为93%、78%和95%,较未改性提高了29%、3%和23%;COD释放量为215 mg·L-1,较未改性减少了545 mg·L-1;Fe2+剩余量为1.5 mg·L-1,较未改性减少了1.1 mg·L-1;溶液pH为7.8。同时经SEM和XRD分析,发现改性玉米芯颗粒较未改性玉米芯颗粒相比,内部结构变得的疏松多孔,且大分子物质被分解为小分子物质,可以更好被SRB所利用。说明了该改性法可以改善玉米芯的碳释性能,为微生物处理AMD的工程应用提供技术参考。

K2S2O8氧化吸收NO的热力学与传质分析

一氧化氮（NO）是燃煤锅炉烟气中的主要污染物,因其是酸雨和光化学烟雾的前体物而受到广泛关注。采用K2S2O8作为氧化剂开展了其对模拟烟气中NO的氧化去除研究,并分析了K2S2O8氧化脱硝反应的热力学过程以及NO从气相主体到液相主体的传质过程。结果显示：以K2S2O8为氧化剂氧化NO的总反应吉布斯自由能为-659.69 kJ·mol-1,小于零,说明该反应是自发过程;气液传质分析表明NO气体的吸收传质速率主要由液膜控制。实验采用添加Fe （Ⅱ） EDTA的方法增大化学反应对液相传质速率的放大系数,致使液膜传质阻力减小,从而使NO的去除率从30%提高至91.6%。该结果为K2S2O8湿法氧化脱硝工艺的后续研究和应用提供了理论参考和技术支持。     

不同粒级的煤胶体对汞的吸附动力学

为了解煤胶体对汞的吸附动力学特性,采用沉降法和离心法提取由霍林河采集煤样中的煤胶体（0~2、2~5、5~10 μm）,采用批量实验对不同粒径和不同温度下,煤胶体对汞的吸附动力学特性进行了研究。结果表明：煤胶体对汞的吸附反应为吸热反应,以化学吸附为主,其吸附动力学过程可用准二级动力学方程和双室模型很好的描述。煤胶体对汞的平衡吸附量随粒径的减小和温度的升高而逐渐增大,不同粒径煤胶体受温度影响的大小关系为（5~10）μm > （2~5）μm > （0~2）μm。煤胶体对汞的吸附从初始阶段到达到表观平衡,快速吸附均占据优势。在表观平衡时,粒径越大,快速吸附的贡献率越小。煤胶体对汞的吸附反应速率随温度升高和粒径减小而增大。温度越高、粒径越小,快速吸附速率越大;而慢速吸附速率则随温度升高和粒径增大而增大。汞在0~2 μm和2~5 μm煤胶体上的吸附过程,粒内扩散是其主要控速步骤;而对于5~10 μm的煤胶体,膜扩散是主要控速步骤。     

基于PIV技术的ABR反应器在不同HRT下的液相流态特性

利用激光粒子图像测速技术（PIV）对ABR反应器的液相流态进行了研究,在水力停留时间（HRT）为3~58 h变化时,测试得反应器内下流室和上流室折流板内外侧关键截面的流场数据,获得了相关流场特征,包括速度矢量图、流线图谱和涡量场等。结果表明,HRT对下流室和上流室的液相轴向、径向平均速度和平均涡量强度影响不同,液相回流面积随HRT的增加逐渐减小;下流室液相平均涡量强度随HRT的增加逐渐增加;上流室液相平均涡量强度随HRT的增加逐渐减小。下流室和上流室在特定HRT时产生涡流、沟流。在本实验条件下,当处理难降解或高浓度废水时,得出HRT为33 h时反应器整体流态最佳。     

Dicarboxylic acid concentration trends and sampling artifacts

Dicarboxylic acids associated with airborne particulate matter were measured during a summer period in Philadelphia that included multiple air pollution episodes. Samples were collected for two 10 h periods each day using a high-volume sampler with two quartz fiber filters in series, and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) with diazomethane derivatization. Among the dicarboxylic acids investigated, phthalic acid and adipic acid exhibited the greatest diurnal variations and the strongest linear relationship with maximum daily ozone concentration. Dicarboxylic acids and ozone concentration exhibited a poor linear relationship with organic to elemental carbon ratio. All species investigated were affected by significant sampling artifact errors at low concentrations, but sampling errors were negligible at high concentrations observed during ozone episodes.
