基于微藻培养处理畜禽养殖废水的研究进展

当前规模化畜禽养殖业排放含有大量氮磷、重金属和有机污染物的粪污废水,导致生态环境遭受严重的污染,治理畜禽废水的任务迫在眉睫。由于传统畜禽废水处理方式及应用存在较多不足,基于微藻生物技术处理废水的研究得到越来越多的关注。微藻是一种广泛存在于水体中的单细胞生物,具有高效的脱氮除磷及纳污能力,其主要利用同化作用吸附污水中的氮,通过磷酸化作用吸附、沉降磷,依靠细胞膜上的官能团对重金属进行富集。基于以上生理基础,大多数微藻的氮磷吸附率和重金属富集率可以高达80%。目前微藻对畜禽废水污染组分的处理的研究主要集中在氮磷、重金属,实际应用方式多为高效藻类塘、活性藻、固定化技术、光生物反应器等。但是微藻处理畜禽废水仍存在分子机理研究较少,生产实际经验不足等问题。基于微藻处理畜禽废水的机理,通过综述若干微藻去除氮磷、重金属等污染物的效率,总结国内外微藻废水处理技术的研究及存在问题,展望了微藻废水工程发展前景。

活体微藻吸附水体中Cd2+的性能特征

【目的】藻类对重金属吸附和吸收是重金属进入食物链的重要渠道之一。研究活体微藻对水体中Cd~(2+)的吸附性能和吸附机理,旨在为Cd~(2+)等重金属离子进入水体后的去向及去除提供理论依据。【方法】选取地表水普遍存在的4种微藻:钝顶螺旋藻(Spirulina platensis)、铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)、四尾栅藻(Scenedesmus quadricauda)和小球衣藻(Chlamydomonas microsphaera)作为试验材料,通过室内模拟实验,利用Langmuir、Freundlich和Dubinin-Radushkevich(D-R)3种等温吸附模型,研究4种活体微藻对Cd~(2+)的吸附规律及吸附参数。【结果】4种微藻对水体Cd~(2+)吸附均可以用Langmuir、Freundlich和D-R模型描述,其中用Langmuir模型拟合钝顶螺旋藻、Freundlich模型拟合小球衣藻、D-R模型拟合铜绿微囊藻和四尾栅藻的吸附效果最佳。四尾栅藻对Cd~(2+)的吸附量最高,而钝顶螺旋藻对Cd~(2+)的吸附量最低,但与Cd~(2+)的亲和力最强,4种微藻吸附Cd~(2+)主要是以离子代换为主的化学吸附。【结论】微藻对Cd~(2+)均有较强的吸附能力,会引起以微藻为食的水生动物Cd~(2+)富集;微藻也是去除水体Cd~(2+)的潜在吸附剂原料。

Biosorption: a solution to pollution?

To solve the water pollution problem by toxic heavy metal contamination resulting from humans technological activities has for long presented a challenge. Biosorption can be a part of the solution. Some types of biosorbents such as seaweeds, molds, yeasts, bacteria or crab shells are examples of biomass tested for metal biosorption with very encouraging results. The uptake of heavy metals by biomass can in some cases reach up to 50% of the biomass dry weight. New biosorbents can be manipulated for better efficiency and multiple re-use to increase their economic attractiveness.     

Human health risks from consuming cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) grown on wastewater irrigated soil

The present study investigated the impact of cumulative irrigation with wastewater on the soil properties and, its health hazards on the consumers of cabbage plants at south Cairo Province, Egypt. Irrigation water, soil and cabbage plants were sample d from two polluted and other two unpolluted farms. The physicochemical properties of water and soil were analyzed and the growth parameters, as well as nutrients and heavy metals concentration in cabbage were investigated. In addition, the daily intake of metals (DIM) and health risk index (HRI) were estimated. Wastewater posed a decrease in the availability of N, P and K, but increases heavy metals in the soil solution. Cabbage stem and root lengths as well as the number of leaves and biomass were greatly reduced in the polluted farms. In addition, the photosynthetic pigments, carbohydrates and proteins were decreased under pollution stress. The concentration of most investigated metals in the leaves and roots were increased with translocation factor greater than one for Pb, Cd, As, Cr, Ni, Fe, and Co. The study revealed that the HRI exceeded one for Pb and Cd in polluted and unpolluted plants; and Fe in polluted ones. Irrigation with wastewater is not suitable for cabbage as it has health risks on humans due to accumulation of heavy metals. It worth noting that, the high ability of cabbage plants to accumulate Pb and Cd from both polluted and unpolluted soils should be taken into consideration when consuming this plant.     

Application of in situ cage cultures of phytoplankton for monitoring heavy metal pollution in two Norwegian fjords

A simple apparatus for in situ use of the cage culture technique for growing planktonic algae has been developed and used to follow growth and metal uptake of three diatoms in two Norwegian fjords polluted by heavy metals. Continuous pumping of sea water through a chelating resin and continuous water sampling was used to obtain average values for dissolved and particulate heavy metal content at the various test sites. The metals investigated (zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, and mercury) showed differences in the proportion of dissolved to particulate fractions.The three species of diatoms tested gave systematic growth responses to heavy metal pollution in the moderately polluted fjord; one alga died, one showed reduced growth rate at the more contaminated site compared with those at less polluted sites, while the most tolerant alga was apparently not affected. In the heavily polluted fjord only the most tolerant alga survived, showing decreasing growth rate with increasing pollution.Uptake of heavy metals increased generally with increasing heavy metal content in the sea water. The contents in the algae grown in the most polluted fjord were much higher than those obtained in the less polluted fjord, which were higher than the contents reported for algae from non-contaminated areas.     

Pseudomonas aeruginosa immobilized multiwalled carbon nanotubes as biosorbent for heavy metal ions

Pseudomonas aeruginosa immobilized multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been used as biosorbent for the solid phase extraction of some heavy metal ions in environmental samples. Cobalt(II), cadmium(II), lead(II), manganese(II), chromium(III) and nickel(II) ions have been selected as analytes for the presented study, due to their important negative and positive roles in human life. In order to investigate quantitative biosorption conditions of the analytes, the influences of pH of the aqueous solution, eluent type, eluent volume, samples volume, etc. were examined. The effects of alkaline, earth alkaline and some transitions metals on the biosorption of analyte ions on P. aeruginosa immobilized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were also investigated. The presented biosorption procedure was applied to the determination of analytes in tomato leaves, bovine liver, boiled wheat, canned fish, black tea, lichen and natural water samples.

Biosorption of toxic metals from aqueous solutions by bacteria strains isolated from metal-polluted soils

The use of biological materials for effective removal and recovery of heavy metals from contaminated wastewaters has emerged as a potential alternative method to conventional treatment techniques. The aim of this paper was the laboratory study of biosorption of toxic metals from aqueous solution by the application of microorganisms (Bacillus laterosporus or Bacillus licheniformis), isolated from polluted (metal-laden) soil. Microorganisms have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, because of their small size and therefore, they can provide a large contact interface, which would interact with metals from the surrounding environment. Microbial metal accumulation has received much attention during recent years, due to the potential use of microorganisms for treatment of metal-polluted water or wastewater streams. Two toxic metals were selected as typical examples: a cation (cadmium) and an oxyanion (hexavalent chromium, and promising results were obtained, under optimized conditions.     

Assessment of heavy metal toxicity related with human health risk in the surface water of an industrialized area by a novel technique

This study innovates an assessment technique to evaluate heavy metal toxic load (HMTL). Assessment of surface water in Durgapur industrial area, West Bengal India illustrates that heavy metals in majority of sampling locations exceed the drinking water quality standards. Therefore, pollution status and health impact were predicted by heavy metal pollution index (HPI) and hazard index (HI). More than 50% of sampling locations were marked as polluted. Moreover, 5% and 90% of sampling locations near the industries have health risk to adult and child on ingestion. The study of specific exposure-time and exposure-duration affirms the suitability of water for fishing and regular activities. However, HPI or HI does not quantify heavy metal concentrations that pose threat to human health. Therefore, the proposed assessment technique, HMTL, determines the concentration of heavy metals responsible for health hazard. HMTL identifies Mn, Pb, and Co as toxic metals and estimates 85%, 63%, and 70% removal of these metals from surface water to limit pollution. Origins of metals were also investigated through statistical techniques, which revealed that Fe has geogenic and anthropogenic source, while other metals originate by anthropogenic activities solely. This study demonstrates that HMTL will help the planning authority to document effective water quality management plan.     

藓袋法对深圳市痕量大气重金属污染物的监测

通过在深圳市盐田、罗湖、福田、南山4个行政区17个不同地点布放藓袋,并对其所吸附的 V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Cd、Pb 等10种重金属元素的含量进行检测和比较研究,发现4个行政区在不同程度上都受到了污染,其中南山区的污染较轻,罗湖区、福田区与盐田区较为严重。污染程度可能与水陆交通和工业状况、人口密度以及特殊的地理位置有关。对深圳市17个监测点的大气重金属富集含量进行聚类分析发现,污染较为严重的地区均为工业区和交通密集区,污染相对较轻的监测点都离工业及交通污染源相对较远。
