3种填料A.ferrooxidans挂膜效果及对模拟酸性矿山废水中Fe2+生物矿化能力比较

氧化亚铁硫杆菌（A.ferrooxidans）介导的生物矿化方法可促使酸性矿山废水（Acid Mine Drainage,AMD）中Fe离子向次生铁矿物转变. 采用固定化的方式来提高A.ferrooxidans密度有助于强化Fe²⁺的生物矿化能力.选取流化床19孔填料、弹性填料、悬浮球填料作为挂膜对象, 通过多批次的连续培养来考察3种填料的A.ferrooxidans挂膜能力及稳定挂膜所需周期,继而比较3种挂膜填料对模拟AMD中Fe²⁺的生物矿化能力,并估算A.ferrooxidans有效生物量.结果表明,3种填料（5.00 g）的A.ferrooxidans挂膜能力依次为弹性填料（1.76 g）＞流化床19孔填料（0.90 g）＞悬浮球填料（0.78 g）（干重）,且挂膜启动至稳定状态至少需要4批次.X射线衍射分析（X-ray diffraction,XRD）表明,3种填料表面 含矿生物膜均为施氏矿物和黄钾铁矾的混合物.以游离态A.ferrooxidans的Fe²⁺氧化速率作为参比,估算出流化床19孔填料、弹性填料、悬浮球填料生物膜中A.ferrooxidans有效生物量依次为1.67×10⁸、8.52×10⁸、1.92×10⁸ cells·g^-1 （干基）.研究还发现,等同Fe²⁺生物氧化速率下, A.ferrooxidans挂膜填料比游离态A.ferrooxidans具有更强的AMD矿化驱动能力.     

Indicators for assessing Indonesia’s Javan rhino National Park vulnerability to climate change

Climate change is already affecting ecosystems in protected forest areas. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted its impacts will accelerate rapidly over the coming decades. The components of vulnerability have been defined as exposure, sensitivity and the capacity to adapt to climate change. Vulnerability, however, is not an easy concept for policy makers, local communities and other affected stakeholders to understand. This paper illustrates the use of participatory processes in understanding climate change adaptation and defines indicators for assessing the vulnerability of the Javan rhino's national park habitat in Indonesia. The processes generated local vulnerability indicators, organised hierarchically as principles, criteria and indicators (PCIs). While vulnerability principles and criteria were pre-determined and globally defined, the indicators were designed to address the local context. We found the PCIs to be practical tools for communicating vulnerability and for multi-stakeholder dialogues on vulnerability to climate change.     

基于不同能源底物和营养水平的酸性矿山废水产生机制研究

硫化矿物在氧气、水和铁氧化细菌的共同作用下会形成pH值极低、富含可溶性Fe、SO₄^2-和重金属离子等的酸性矿山废水.本研究选取黄铁矿、磁黄铁矿和黄铜矿作为能源底物,以及0×9K、1/4×9K、1/2×9K、1×9K培养基作为营养水平,在氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans）的参与下,从能源底物和营养水平角度探索不同硫化矿物酸性废水的产生特点和机制.结果表明,3种硫化矿物的生物产酸能力依次为黄铁矿>磁黄铁矿≈黄铜矿.经过38 d的生化反应后,黄铁矿体系的pH值达到1.41,总Fe （TFe）和SO₄^2-浓度分别达到771.82 mg·L^-1和357.25 mg·L^-1.水体营养水平在黄铁矿的生物产酸过程中起着至关重要的作用.经过16 d的生化反应后,0×9K、1/4×9K、1/2×9K、1×9K培养基处理的终点pH值分别为1.68、1.44、1.30、1.29.根据各营养体系中Fe²⁺和TFe浓度的变化趋势,以及反应终点收集矿物的X射线衍射（XRD）和扫描电镜（SEM）,分析认为充足的营养会提高Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans的活性或密度,加快Fe²⁺生物氧化形成Fe³⁺并通过水解产酸作用合成黄钾铁矾等次生铁矿物,从而导致溶液的pH值更低.本研究所得结果对明晰酸性矿山废水形成规律具有一定的指导意义.     

温度和pH对生物成因羟基硫酸铁矿物的综合影响研究

在酸性矿山废水中,氧化亚铁硫杆菌(A.ferrooxidans)氧化Fe~(2+)过程中常常伴随着次生矿物的生成.为研究温度和pH对A.ferrooxidans氧化Fe~(2+)及Fe3+水解成矿的综合影响,考察了初始pH为1.5、2.0、2.5、3.0,温度为8、18、28、38℃时体系中Fe~(2+)、总Fe、次生矿物的变化情况.结果表明,在改良9K培养基中,温度和pH均影响Fe~(2+)生物氧化和Fe~(3+)水解成矿.A.ferrooxidans最佳适宜生长环境为温度28℃,pH=2.0~3.0,其它条件均不利于其生长繁殖,导致Fe~(2+)氧化速度明显变慢.起始pH=1.5时,不同温度处理均未发现有矿物生成,pH越高,收集矿物量越多.次生铁矿物XRD图谱表明,反应温度为28℃时,pH=2.0~2.5条件下次生铁矿物主要为黄铁矾和施氏矿物的混合物,而pH=3.0时则更有利于施氏矿物的形成.该现象对有效调控次生矿物的形成具有潜在意义.     

均相/异相催化剂光降解垃圾渗滤液效果的研究

垃圾渗滤液是一种复杂有毒的、生化降解性差的高浓度有机废水,高级氧化技术具有氧化能力强和无二次污染等特点,被认为是处理难降解有机污染物最有应用前景的方法.本研究在500 W汞灯、25℃、2.5 h反应条件下,对比了TiO_2、K2S2O_8、K2S2O_8/Fe2+、施氏矿物、施氏矿物/H2O_2、Fe2+/H2O_26种催化剂组合光化学处理垃圾渗滤液的效果.结果表明,施氏矿物/H2O_2和Fe2+/H2O_2光催化降解垃圾渗滤液中有机污染物的效果优于其它催化剂组合,渗滤液中CO_D去除率分别为41.6%和46.5%,TO_C去除率分别为76.0%和78.1%.然而,Fe2+/H2O_2组合在光催化处理垃圾渗滤液后会产生大量难以沉降的Fe(O_H)3絮状物,且渗滤液色度明显增加,由初始的40倍上升到175倍.而施氏矿物/H2O_2组合则避免了上述问题,色度去除率达100%,被认为是一种具有应用前景的光化学降解垃圾渗滤液的催化剂组合.     

Radiological monitoring: terrestrial natural radionuclides in Kinta District,Perak, Malaysia

Natural background gamma radiation and radioactivity concentrations were investigated from 2003 to 2005 in Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia. Sample locations were distant from any ‘amang’ processing plants. The external gamma dose rates ranged from 39 to 1039 nGy h⁻¹. The mean external gamma dose rate was 222 ± 191 nGy h⁻¹. Small areas of relatively enhanced activity were located having external gamma dose rates of up to 1039 ± 104 nGy h⁻¹. The activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K were analyzed by using a high-resolution co-axial HPGe detector system. The activity concentration ranges were 12–426 Bq kg⁻¹ for ²³⁸U, 19–1377 Bq kg⁻¹ for ²³²Th and <19–2204 Bq kg⁻¹ for ⁴⁰ K. Based on the radioactivity levels determined, the gamma-absorbed dose rates in air at 1 m above the ground were calculated. The calculated dose rates and measured dose rates had a good correlation coefficient, R of 0.94. To evaluate the radiological hazard of the natural radioactivity, the radium equivalent activity, the gamma-absorbed dose rate and the mean population weighted dose rate were calculated. An isodose map for the Kinta District was also produced.     

嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌介导的次生铁矿物形成的影响因素分析

酸性矿山废水(AMD)具有酸度高并含有大量可溶性Fe、硫酸根及重(类)金属的特点,采用生物矿化法促使AMD中Fe向羟基硫酸铁次生矿物转变,对AMD后期石灰中和减少氢氧化铁和废石膏的产生,提高中和效率具有实际意义.本研究模拟AMD,考察了初始pH、Fe~(2+)浓度、Fe/Na摩尔比对嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans)体系中Fe~(2+)氧化率、总Fe沉淀率、次生铁矿物矿相的影响.结果表明,高浓度Na~+会抑制A.ferrooxidans的氧化能力,当Na~+浓度在A.ferrooxidans耐受范围内时,其不影响Fe~(2+)氧化及总Fe沉淀去除效果,表现在160、80、20 mmol·L~(-1)的Fe~(2+)分别在72、48、48 h内被完全氧化,培养至终点时平均总Fe沉淀率分别为20.04%、16.43%、0.99%.此外,在Fe~(2+)浓度为160mmol·L~(-1)体系中,当Fe/Na摩尔比为1.0、2.0时,pH为2.0~2.6时获得次生铁矿物均为纯净施氏矿物.而当Fe/Na摩尔比降至0.5时,次生铁矿物的合成途径开始向黄钠铁矾转移,且其特征衍射峰随着Na~+浓度提高而愈加显著.本研究结果可为生物合成次生铁矿物工艺的优化及其在AMD治理领域的有效应用提供必要的参数支撑.
