硝酸盐和甲烷对覆土中苯系物厌氧氧化的影响

苯系物是填埋场填埋气中恶臭有机气体的重要成分之一,填埋气中的CH4则是重要的温室气体.填埋覆土层中的微生物可以氧化CH4和苯系物,因此,强化微生物的氧化效能有助于削减和控制填埋气的污染.电子受体还原可耦合甲烷和某些有机物的厌氧氧化,从而去除甲烷和有机物.鉴此,本研究通过静态培养试验,分析了电子受体SO2-4共存条件下,NO-3和CH4共存对覆土中苯系物厌氧降解的影响.结果表明不外加NO-3时,苯系物抑制CH4的降解,加入NO-3后,苯系物共存反而有利于CH4的去除;单独添加NO-3或CH4都能促进填埋覆土中苯系物的去除;而同时添加NO-3和CH4能更好地促进苯系物的去除,甲苯、二甲苯和异丙苯的去除率最高可达65%、88%和82%,远高于不添加NO-3和CH4对照处理的53%、76%和31%;NO-3还原与CH4厌氧氧化耦合过程能同步促进苯系物的厌氧氧化.

Effects of Nitrate and CH4 on Anaerobic Oxidation of BETX in Landfill Cover Soils

BETX is one of the important components of stink organic gases in landfills, which simultaneously release much of greenhouse CH₄. The microorganisms in landfill cover soils are able to degrade CH₄ and BETX. Therefore, improving the capacity of biological oxidation of microorganisms in landfill cover soils can effectively reduce and control pollution caused by landfill gases. Some electron acceptors can couple to anaerobic oxidation of methane and some organic pollutants, thus eliminating methane and organic substances. Based on the above theory, this research investigated the effect of nitrate (NO₃^-) and CH₄ on anaerobic degradation of benzene series (toluene, xylene and isopropyl benzene) with coexistence of SO₄^2- in landfill cover soils through static incubation experiment. The results showed that BTEX inhibited the degradation of CH₄ without adding nitrate, however, BTEX instead improved the removal of CH₄ after nitrate addition. Although single addition of nitrate or CH₄ could improve the removal of BTEX in landfill cover soils, adding both of them could improve the removal of BTEX better as the removal efficiencies for benzene, toluene and isopropyl benzene were respectively reached 65%, 88% and 82%, much higher than those of 53%, 76% and 31% when not adding nitrate and CH₄. The process of anaerobic methane oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction was able to synchronously improve anaerobic oxidation of BETX.
