好氧颗粒污泥系统中溶解性微生物代谢产物的特征及主要组分

采用SBR反应器以絮状活性污泥为接种污泥培养好氧颗粒污泥,主要考察好氧颗粒污泥系统中溶解性微生物代谢产物(SMP)的产生、相对分子质量分布以及主要组成物质.结果表明SMP是出水COD的主要组分,浓度为71~85 mg·L-1,SMP的产生与微生物对基质的利用、微生物衰亡和胞外聚合物(EPS)的水解有关.相对分子质量分布表明大部分SMP相对分子质量小于3×103,所占比例为54.8%~71.7%,而相对分子质量大于100×103的组分只占总SMP的一小部分,所占比例为9.3%~14.5%.三维荧光光谱分析表明,出水SMP具有4个峰,分别属于类芳香蛋白质、类色氨酸蛋白质、类腐殖酸物质和类富里酸物质.气质联用(GC-MS)分析表明SMP主要成分为酯类、短链烷烃、烯烃和醇类,所占质量分数分别为39.0%、14.9%、11.7%和7.6%.其中邻苯二甲酸二酯是出水SMP中主要组成物质,所占质量分数为32.0%.

Characterization Composition of Soluble Microbial Products in an Aerobic Granular Sludge System

Using flocculent activated sludge as seed sludge to cultivate aerobic granular sludge in a SBR, the main objective of this study was focused on the accumulation, relative molecular mass distribution, and composition of soluble microbial products (SMP) in an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system. SMP were predominant (71-85 mg·L^-1) in the effluent of the AGS system. The formation of SMP was related to substrate utilization, biomass decay, and EPS hydrolysis. A relative molecular mass distribution analysis indicated that the majority of SMP, accounting for about 54.8%-71.7%, had M_r<3×10³; whereas, the M_r>100×10³ formed a small fraction, constituting only 9.3%-14.5%. Three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectra (3D-EEM) identified four peaks in SMP, belonging to aromatic protein-like, tryptophan protein-like, humic acid-like, and fulvic acid-like substances. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that esters (39.0%), short chain alkanes (14.9%), alkenes (11.7%), and alcohols (7.6%) were the main compounds in SMP. Most notably, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, as one kind of ester, accounted for 32% of the identified SMP.
