Ultrasonic treatment of an aerobic activated sludge in a batch reactor

Low-frequency and high-intensity ultrasonic treatment of sewage plant sludge disrupts the flocs and lyses the bacterial cells. This results in a substantial reduction in the volume of the flocs and a release of both inter and intracellular materials. The evolution of the particles size (flocs and isolated microorganisms) is evaluated by a Malvern Mastersizer granulometer and the release of material is quantified by measuring the chemical oxygen demand and the proteins solubilized in the solution. In the first part, the disruption of the particles was undertaken with low concentrated sludge from an aeration tank in order to comprehend better the mechanisms and to modelize them. In the second part, the influence of the initial concentration is studied by working with higher concentrated sludge from a settler. Ultrasonic treatment also causes a change in the settleability and filterability of the sludge which the effects are evaluated in the last part.     

基于主动学习的命名实体识别算法

命名实体识别的目的是识别文本中的实体指称的边界和类别。在进行命名实体识别模型训练的过程中,通常需要大量的标注样本。本文通过实现有效的选择算法,从大量样本中选择适合模型更新的样本,减少对样本的标注工作。通过5组对比实验,验证使用有效的选择算法能够获得更好的样本集,实现具有针对性的标注样本。通过设计在微博网络数据集上的实验,验证本文提出的基于流的主动学习算法可以针对大量互联网文本数据选择出更合适的样本集,能够有效减少人工标注的成本。本文通过2个模型分别实现实体的边界提取和类别区分。序列标注模型提取出实体在序列中的位置,实体分类模型实现对标注结果的分类,并利用主动学习的方法实现在无标注数据集上的训练。使用本文的训练方法在2个数据集上进行实验。在Weibo数据集上的实验展示算法能从无标签数据集中学习到文本特征。在MSRA数据集上的实验结果显示,在预训练数据集的比例达到40%以上时,模型在测试数据集上的F1值稳定在90%左右,与使用全部数据集的结果接近,说明模型在无标签数据集上具有一定的特征提取能力。     

水质条件对厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥EPS含量的影响

为研究水质条件对厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥EPS含量的影响,采用16个SBR反应器研究同周期内基质利用阶段与基质匮乏阶段EPS含量的变化以及总氮质量浓度、IC/TN、COD/TN对于厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥EPS含量的影响.结果表明,同周期内,基质利用阶段的EPS含量不断升高,基质匮乏阶段EPS含量不断降低;总氮质量浓度为35~280 mg/L时,提高总氮质量浓度可以提高EPS的含量,总氮质量浓度280 mg/L时EPS含量有所减少;IC/TN为0.01~0.2时,EPS及其各组分含量随无机碳质量浓度的升高而增加,IC/TN0.2时,无机碳质量浓度对于EPS及其各组分含量无明显影响;COD/TN0.5时,有机物对于EPS含量具有促进作用,COD/TN0.5时,有机物的提高对于EPS含量有抑制作用.在厌氧氨氧化颗粒污泥工艺的实际运行过程中,应避免过长的基质利用阶段与基质匮乏阶段,总氮质量浓度应保持在150~210 mg/L,无机碳质量浓度应保持在IC/TN为0.1~0.2,有机物质量浓度应保持在COD/TN0.5.     

不同活性污泥胞外聚合物提取方法优化

活性污泥胞外聚合物( extracellular polymeric substances, EPS)是污水生物处理过程中污泥结构、脱水性能、絮凝性能以及沉降性能的重要决定因素,而提取方法不同EPS的剥离程度存在很大的差别.因此EPS提取方法的建立至关重要.采用6种方法提取不同污泥EPS,分析了不同污泥每g干污泥中分层EPS的质量及组成,并考察了污泥粒径及脱水性能与污泥EPS的关系.结果表明：不同工艺不同污泥每g干污泥中EPS质量不同;甲醛+NaOH法提取EPS效率高且对细胞破坏程度小,试验中不同污泥EPS提取量为15.88~39.30 mg;每g干污泥中黏液层EPS质量越高,蛋白质与多糖质量浓度之比越大,污泥脱水性能越差;污泥EPS的提取效率与污泥粒径存在一定的相关性,污泥粒径越大,提取效率越高.     

发酵种泥的投加对新鲜剩余污泥发酵产酸的影响

为进一步提高剩余污泥厌氧发酵产短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)的效率,将p H=10下长期(90 d)厌氧发酵的种泥接入至新鲜剩余污泥考察其对新鲜剩余污泥厌氧发酵产酸的影响.实验在2种p H条件下进行:不控制p H(p H=7.4±0.2),一组反应器中投加新鲜剩余污泥,并接种厌氧发酵种泥,另一组反应器只投加新鲜剩余污泥;控制p H为碱性(p H=10±0.2),一组反应器中投加新鲜剩余污泥,并接种厌氧发酵种泥,另一组反应器只投加新鲜剩余污泥.结果表明:相同p H条件下,接种厌氧发酵种泥反应器中的最大产酸量较不接种分别提高4.9(p H=7.4±0.2)和16.4 mg/g VSS(以COD计)(p H=10±0.2);同时接种发酵污泥、剩余污泥在p H=10±0.2下的最大产酸量较p H=7.4±0.2下的最大产酸量高146.2 mg/g VSS;碱性条件、不接种发酵种泥的产酸量较不控制p H、接种发酵种泥的高129.8 mg/g VSS.投加发酵种泥可提高新鲜剩余污泥厌氧发酵过程中SCFAs的产生效率;碱性条件与厌氧发酵种泥对新鲜剩余污泥发酵产酸具有协同促进作用;与接种发酵种泥相比,碱性条件对新鲜剩余污泥厌氧发酵产酸促进能力高.     

Characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoates synthesized in activated sludge using three carbon sources

Polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHAs) were synthesized in activated sludge using three types of carbon sources (sodium acetate,sodium propionate and sodium butyrate), and their characterization were studied. It was shown that the content of PHA synthesized by microorganisms in activated sludge were different. The biggest synthetic amount up to 36.7% of VSS was obtained when sodium acetate was used as carbon source. The polymer yield was lower when using sodium propionate as the carbon source than when using others, with 25.1% of VSS, while resulted in an increase of hydroxyvalerate(HV) units produced. The structure and thermal properties of extracted biopolymers were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and themo-gravimetry (TG).     

Characteristics of coal sludge slurry prepared by a wet-grinding process

Coal sludge slurry(CSS) is an alternative fuel and a potential competitive method for sludge reduction.Based on the researches of coal water slurry, we studied CSSs by using a wet-grinding process with different types of regional municipal sludge(sludge) in an orthogonal experiment. The sludge type,sludge mixing proportion, dosage of dispersant, and grinding time were tested in this study. The results show that water content and its occurrence characteristics in the sludge have primary hindering influences on slurry ability. The range of fixed-viscosity concentrations with raw wet sludge is from 50.78%to 44.40%(by weight), while the range is from 53.35% to 51.51%(by weight) with dry sludge. All of the CSSs exhibit shear-thinning behaviors with different variation trends, especially the CSSs with more than 15%(by weight) raw wet sludge in it. Adding the same proportion of raw wet sludge increases the thixotropic properties of CSSs and the highest area of thixotropy loop is 3065 Pa/s, while the highest value of dry sludge is 1798 Pa/s. Hydrophilic group plays an important role in adsorbing water and building three-dimension networks with other particles, which is the main reason for CSS properties.Therefore, the mechanism can be used to find the way for making high quality CSS.     

摇蚊幼虫对活性污泥沉降性能的影响及机理

为了利用摇蚊幼虫改善活性污泥的沉降性能,以摇蚊幼虫为研究对象,考查其对污泥沉降性能改善作用的影响因素并探究改善机理.结果表明:投加摇蚊幼虫可以在短时间内明显改善污泥的沉降性能.在投加幼虫密度为每克干污泥中含0.2~1.2 g湿质量摇蚊幼虫时,污泥沉降性能改善效果随虫密度增加而增加.在相同虫密度(每克干污泥中含1.0 g湿质量摇蚊幼虫)的情况下,摇蚊幼虫对污泥质量浓度为5 g/L的活性污泥改善效果最佳.而摇蚊幼虫对污泥沉降性的改善作用与投加摇蚊幼虫后活性污泥2种主要胞外聚合物(蛋白质、多糖)含量以及蛋白质与多糖比值的降低有关.另外,长期试验证实,向污水处理反应器中连续回流摇蚊幼虫培养装置上清液可以使污泥容积指数由120 mL/g降至60 mg/L.
