翻堆频率对堆肥减量化、腐殖化和稳定化的影响

好氧堆肥是有机固体废弃物处理处置的有效手段之一,堆肥还田也是贫瘠土壤改良的常用措施。但好氧堆肥是一个典型的CO_2等温室气体的释放过程。如何减少堆肥过程中的CO_2释放,强化堆肥的腐殖化过程对于实现有机固体废弃物的低碳化堆肥、提高作为优良土壤改良剂的腐殖质产量具有重要意义。本文选取农林秸秆和餐厨垃圾作为堆肥原料,研究不同翻堆频率对堆肥过程中的物料减量化、腐殖化和稳定化的影响,以期发现一个较低碳的堆肥工艺,并从微生物角度初步探索了其影响机制。研究结果显示,不同的翻堆频率(分别为每2 d、4 d和6 d翻堆一次),堆料的减量化和腐殖化程度有一定差异,翻堆频率为4 d的堆肥工艺物料减量率最高为50.5%,但碳减量率最低为77.4%;而翻堆频率为2 d的堆肥工艺腐殖质产量最高;3种堆肥工艺经62 d堆肥都达到了腐熟程度,翻堆频率为4 d的堆肥工艺腐熟化程度最高。不同的翻堆频率可能通过影响堆肥过程中堆料的温度、含氧量等因素从而改变堆料中活性微生物量、种类和生物酶活性,进而影响堆料的矿化和腐殖化进程。     

微生物在有机固废堆肥中的作用与应用

好氧堆肥是实现有机固体废弃物资源化利用的主流处理方式.堆肥腐熟是一个由微生物主导的生理生化过程,堆料通过微生物发酵实现矿质化、腐殖化和无害化,转变成腐熟的有机肥.传统的好氧堆肥存在发酵周期长、养分损失、恶臭及温室气体排放等不足.在堆肥过程中添加微生物是弥补传统好氧堆肥缺陷、提高堆肥品质和功效的有效方法.近年来,国内外在...

添加过磷酸钙对蔬菜废弃物堆肥中氨气及温室气体排放的影响

为研究过磷酸钙不同添加量对蔬菜废弃物堆肥过程中氨气和温室气体排放的影响,以生菜的废弃菜叶和玉米秸秆为原料,以过磷酸钙肥料为添加剂,进行了27 d的曝气供氧堆肥,对堆肥过程中的氨挥发和温室气体排放(N2O、CH4和CO2)进行了监测.试验共设6个处理,除CK处理(不添加过磷酸钙)外,其余处理依次根据混合物料初始总氮物质量的5%、10%、15%、20%和25%的比例添加过磷酸钙.结果表明:添加过磷酸钙对减少堆肥过程中的氨挥发和温室气体排放均有明显效果,氨挥发总量较CK减少了4.0%~16.7%,总温室气体CO2排放当量减少了10.2%~20.8%.堆肥过程中排放的NH3对温室效应的贡献相对较大,各处理NH3的CO2排放当量为59.90~81.58 kg·t-1,占4种气体总CO2排放当量的69%~77%.蔬菜废弃物堆肥过程中适量添加过磷酸钙是减少氨挥发和温室气体排放并提高堆肥品质的有效措施.

堆肥发酵过程是一系列微生物活动的复杂过程,包含着堆肥材料的矿质化和腐殖化过程。影响这个过程的速度和方向是堆肥中多种微生物活动和环境条件。关于堆肥中是否有必要接种微生物,我国长期以来有争论。1936～1938年,彭家元和陈禹平用好热性纤维分解菌制成菌剂,称元平菌,作为堆肥的接种剂应用。1952年东     

畜禽粪便好氧堆肥过程氧化亚氮排放机制

好氧堆肥是实现畜禽粪便处理及资源化的有效途径,但畜禽粪便好氧堆肥过程是全球温室气体N2O的潜在来源,与全球温室效应和大气臭氧空洞等问题密切相关.随着畜禽养殖规模的扩大和畜禽粪便堆肥产量的急剧提升,畜禽粪便好氧堆肥过程N2O排放问题日趋严重,堆肥过程N2O排放机制机理研究引发学者们的关注.本文综述了畜禽粪便好氧堆肥过程中N2O的产生途径、排放规律、排放影响因素及其相关微生物学机理研究动态,总结了该过程中减排N2O的措施,并对该领域的研究趋势进行了展望.     

C/N驱动优势细菌菌群变化影响堆肥碳氮损失和腐殖质合成

为了探明C/N如何驱动堆肥过程中优势细菌菌群的变化而影响碳氮损失和腐殖质合成,设置3个C/N处理(20∶1、25∶1和30∶1),以羊粪和玉米秸秆为原料进行堆肥试验。结果表明: 与20∶1处理相比,30∶1和25∶1处理堆肥的碳、氮损失分别降低了33.5%、18.9%和23.6%、10.8%。优势细菌菌群、碳氮损失及有机碳组分的冗余分析表明,高C/N提高了堆肥中固氮细菌的种类和丰度,降低了反硝化细菌的种类和丰度,减少了堆肥过程中的碳氮损失;高C/N促进了木质纤维素类降解菌的生长繁殖,促进了富里酸和胡敏素降解而合成更多胡敏酸,提高了堆肥腐殖化程度。可见,C/N可通过影响堆肥中关键优势细菌菌群而影响堆肥过程和堆肥质量,调节堆肥原料C/N可以调控堆肥中碳氮损失和腐殖质的合成,从而提高堆肥质量并减少堆肥的二次环境污染。     

生物炭影响农田温室气体排放的研究进展

针对生物炭在农业生产中对温室气体排放的影响问题,论文综述了近几年有关生物炭对农田生态系统CO2、CH4和N2O三种主要温室气体排放的影响研究,发现生物炭总体上可以减少温室气体的排放,但其实际效果受生物炭种类、土壤理化性质和微生物活性与丰度等多种因素的影响。为此,本文进一步总结了生物炭影响农田系统温室气体排放的作用机理。提出了三条可能机制:(1)生物炭疏松多孔,具有吸附性,依靠自身的吸附作用吸收土壤中的温室气体;(2)生物炭能改变土壤理化性质,使土壤疏松,团聚体和固体物含量提升,抑制土壤矿化,固碳能力提升,吸附性增强;(3)生物炭能改善土壤微生物的生存环境,提高土壤微生物的丰度和活性,微生物活动增强,可以更多地固定土壤中的氮,影响温室气体的排放。通过生物炭途径可助力农业碳减排。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Chemokines and cytokines: axis and allies in asthma and allergy

Allergic asthma can be precipitated by many factors. For the atopic person, fungus, pollen, dust mites, cockroach antigens, and diesel exhaust are all agents that may trigger an allergic attack. Cytokines and chemokines are integral mediators of fungal asthma. From the earliest time points, they recruit and activate the cells required for the clearance of fungus as well as being critical factors involved in the immunopathology of this disease. In the final analysis, it is clear that these mediators can act to the benefit or the detriment of the host.     

Oxidation and nitration of ribonuclease and lysozyme by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase

In spite of the many studies on protein modifications by reactive species, knowledge about the products resulting from the oxidation of protein-aromatic residues, including protein-derived radicals and their stable products, remains limited. Here, we compared the oxidative modifications promoted by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/nitrite in two model proteins, ribonuclease (6Tyr) and lysozyme (3Tyr/6Trp). The formation of protein-derived radicals and products was higher at pH 5.4 and 7.4 for myeloperoxidase and peroxynitrite, respectively. The main product was 3-nitro-Tyr for both proteins and oxidants. Lysozyme rendered similar yields of nitro-Trp, particularly when oxidized by peroxynitrite. Hydroxylated and dimerized products of Trp and Tyr were also produced, but in lower yields. Localization of the main modified residues indicates that peroxynitrite decomposes to radicals within the proteins behaving less specifically than myeloperoxidase. Nitrogen dioxide is emphasized as an important protein modifier.
