臭氧对二级出水中溶解性有机物的氧化特性

利用臭氧对二级出水进行深度处理对于缓解北方地区河流污染问题具有重要意义。为了探究臭氧对二级出水中溶解性有机物的氧化特性,在取自北京市砂河污水处理厂二级出水的水样中分别持续通入不同浓度的臭氧,检测60min内各水样中溶解性有机碳(DOC)、紫外吸收光谱、荧光光谱、分子量分布随时间变化情况。结果发现:水样中DOC去除率与臭氧浓度和通入时间呈正相关,在臭氧浓度为1.31mg/L、通入时间为60min时,可达到最大DOC去除率(70%);通入臭氧5min时,水中溶解性有机物的荧光特性基本消失;紫外吸光度值部分减少;分子量为5～6kDa、1～3kDa和400Da的有机物显著减少,部分转化为分子量为60Da的有机物。经过臭氧氧化处理,二级出水中有机物含量显著减少,大分子有机物几乎被全部降解。     

阳澄湖原水中溶解性有机物去除规律研究

考察原水—预臭氧—混凝沉淀—砂滤—后臭氧—生物活性炭—氯消毒工艺对阳澄湖原水中溶解性有机物(Dissolved organic matter,DOM)的去除规律,结果表明阳澄湖原水溶解性有机碳(Dissolved organic carbon,DOC)与紫外吸光度UV254总体呈现夏季高、冬季低的特征,随着原水DOC与UV254的降低,各工艺单元对DOC与UV254的去除率也逐渐降低,去除率分别在29.2％?44.3％与55.4％?66.5％.对UV254的去除优于DOC,常规处理工艺优于深度处理工艺,对大分子的去除优于小分子.平行因子分析法(Parallel factor analysis,PARAFAC)分析三维荧光光谱确定阳澄湖水样DOM由4组分构成,类蛋白类色氨酸C1、类酪氨酸C2、氨基酸或蛋白质C4,以及类腐殖质紫外区类富里酸C3.该工艺流程对C2、C3、C4去除率总体呈现上升趋势,达到30.1％、70.7％和43.4％.     

臭氧氧化对地表水溶解性有机物去除效果的影响研究

针对臭氧氧化作用对受污染地表水中溶解性有机物去除效果的影响进行研究。结果表明:臭氧投加比低于1mgO3/mgDOC时,臭氧对UVA、CODCr和UV410等有机物去除效率较高;臭氧投加比例为0.7mgO3/mgDOC时,BOD/COD由7.4%提高至18.4%,比紫外消光度(SUVA)逐渐降低并趋于平缓;不同臭氧投加比例下水中溶解性有机物的三维荧光指纹光谱变化规律表明,受污染地表水DOM中主要荧光物质为芳香族蛋白质(荧光峰A、B和C)及类腐殖酸(荧光峰D),其中,A峰、B峰和C峰的中心位置分别位于225/300nm、225/338nm和275/342nm;臭氧投加比例为0.7mgO3/mgDOC时峰强削减率为64%～81%,同时部分芳香族蛋白质的结构也发生了变化。     

The effects of dissolved organic matter on the decomposition of di-n-butyl phthalate by ozone/hydrogen peroxide process.

The effects of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the ozone decay and the di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) decomposition during ozone/hydrogen peroxide (O3/H2O2) process were investigated (DBP-d4 was used instead of DBP). Four surface waters, two secondary municipal sewage effluents (SMSEfs) and Suwannee river natural organic matter were used as DOM. The ozone decompositions in the DOM solutions were separated by instantaneous ozone consumption and slower ozone decay. The effect of H2O2 addition on the ozone decay was clearly observed at slower ozone decay. Ozone decomposition rate at slower ozone decay increased linearly with H2O2 dose. DBP-d4 was exponentially decreased with ozone consumption. Ozone consumption required to decompose 90% of DBP-d4 ((deltaO3)90%) in SMSEFs was higher than those in surface waters. The (deltaO3)90% per DOC of DOM values were from 22 to 23 micromole/mgC for SMSEFs and from 10 to 17 micromole/mgC for surface waters. The (deltaO3)90% values were correlated to specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254) for surface waters.     

Wastewater dissolved organic matter: characteristics and sorptive capabilities.

An evaluation of the mobility of organic pollutants with wastewater dissolved organic matter (DOM) is essential to better understanding their fate and toxicity to the environment. In this study, DOM from two wastewater treatment plants (in Lachish and Netanya, Israel) were fractionated to hydrophobic-acid (HoA) and hydrophobic-neutral (HoN) fractions. The fractions were characterised and their sorptive capabilities for s-triazine herbicides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied. For all sorbates, binding to the HoN fractions was much higher than to HoA fractions. The high binding coefficients obtained for the studied triazines by the HoN fractions suggested that their sorption is governed by hydrophobic-like interactions rather than H-bonding. The binding coefficients of PAHs measured for the HoN fractions were within the range reported for humic acids and much higher than for the HoA fraction, suggesting that the HoN fraction plays an important role in the overall sorption of these compounds by DOM. Higher sorption coefficients were measured for the Netanya DOM sample containing a higher level of hydrophobic fractions (HoA + HoN) than the Lachish DOM, suggesting that the sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds by DOM is governed by the relative content of these structural substances.     

Recent advances in structure and reactivity of dissolved organic matter: radiation chemistry of non-isolated natural organic matter and selected model compounds

The importance of natural organic matter (NOM) as a source of carbon in natural waters, as the source of reactive oxygen species, or for the complications its presence causes in treatment of natural waters, is undeniable. Recent studies have also pointed to the major photochemical role of triplet excited state of natural organic matter in the environmental fate of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in waters. However, the characterization of NOM is problematic due to its complex molecular structure. One approach to better understand NOM chemistry is the use of model compounds. As the condensation of a plant's phenolic compounds leads to humification and the formation of NOM, a structurally broad group of nine phenolic compounds were selected as model compounds for this study. With methods used in the discipline of radiation chemistry, the oxidative chemistry and transient spectra of these phenols were studied. In addition, the oxidative chemistry and transient spectra of a sample of NOM from the Black River, North Carolina, USA, was characterized. This natural water sample was used as received and represents the first studies of non-isolated NOM by pulsed radiolysis. The results of the transient spectra of the NOM revealed that the radical intermediates were very long lived. This phenomenon was not captured using the nine model compounds suggesting that more complex compounds are needed to further our understanding of the oxidation chemistry of NOM.     

Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter in natural,waste and polluted waters—a review

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems originates from a range of sources. Some is allochthonous, transported from the surrounding landscape to the water body, and is derived from and influenced by the geology, land use and hydrology of its origin. Some is created in situ through microbial activity, which may provide an independent source of organic matter, or a recycling mechanism for that which has been transported into the water body. The relative contribution of each source depends upon the location and environmental conditions within and without the water body. Human activity is also a source of DOM, much of which is believed to be labile, which can enter the aquatic system through direct point discharges, diffuse leaching and aerial dispersal. Fluorescence spectroscopy can provide an excellent tool to source DOM fractions, and to monitor and understand DOM transformations in aquatic systems, as much DOM has an intrinsic fluorescence. In particular, recent advances in optical technology, enabling rapid investigation of shorter wavelengths, have enabled more detailed characterization of organic material and its reactions in water. In this article, we review the use of fluorescence spectroscopic techniques to measure the intrinsic fluorescence of organic matter and the application of fluorescent DOM analysis in marine waters, freshwaters and wastewaters.

二级出水中溶解性有机物对超滤膜污染的影响

利用XAD-8/XAD-4树脂将污水处理厂二级出水中的溶解性有机物(DOM)分为疏水性有机酸(HPO-A)、疏水性中性有机物(HPO-N)、过渡亲水性有机酸(TPI-A)、过渡亲水性中性有机物(TPI-N)和亲水性有机物(HPI),研究其对PVDF超滤膜污染性能的影响.结果表明,二级出水中DOM对超滤膜污染的顺序为疏水性有机物＞过渡性亲水性有机物＞亲水性有机物.二级出水的五种组分中,重均分子量(Mw)呈现出HPO-A＞TPI-A＞HPO-N＞ HPI＞TPI-N的趋势,说明分子量大小与膜污染成正比.有机物对膜的污染程度和膜对有机物的去除率相关性不大.反洗对超滤膜去除有机污染的效果良好,特别是NaOH+NaClO的混合反洗水对有机污染物的去除效果最好,能够使膜的比通量恢复率达到58％.     

溶解性有机质对低影响开发设施运行影响的研究进展

低影响开发(LID)设施在治理城市内涝和径流污染中发挥重要作用,在我国海绵城市建设中应用广泛。溶解性有机质(DOM)是一类具有较强的吸附、络合作用的溶解态物质,其质量占比高达径流污染物的50%以上。为阐明DOM对LID设施运行的影响,结合国内外研究现状及进展,综述DOM自身性质及其对LID设施中重金属(HMs)、持久性有机物(POPs)的归趋以及对微生物环境的影响,指出DOM会通过吸附、络合与HMs、POPs作用,造成LID设施填料吸附位点饱和、填料堵塞、微生物相对丰度(RAs)改变等。本研究旨在为LID设施设计和运行优化提供参考。     

周村水库大气湿沉降氮磷及溶解性有机物特征

为揭示周村水库大气湿沉降中污染物的污染特征,通过收集周村水库2016年3月至2017年2月大气湿沉降样品,测定了大气湿沉降中氮磷以及溶解性有机物的质量浓度,分析了污染物的污染特征及大气湿沉降量的变化规律。结果表明:周村水库的降水主要集中在夏秋季,占全年的68.50%;降水中总氮质量浓度在1.67~7.63 mg/L之间,氨氮和硝氮是其主要组分,分别占总氮的52.91%和28.49%;降水中的硝氮和氨氮年湿沉降通量分别为772.45mg/m^2和1411.99 mg/m^2,且与降水量呈显著正相关关系(P<0.01);单因子水质评价法和综合污染指数法评价得出大气湿沉降中的降水大多为劣Ⅴ类的重度污染水体;总磷和有机物的湿沉降通量最大值出现在夏季,与降水量也呈显著正相关关系(P<0.01);大气湿沉降中的溶解性有机物以富里酸为主,呈现较强的自生源特征。     

富营养化湛江港湾有色溶解有机物光学特性的时空变化分析

有色溶解有机物(CDOM)是海洋水色遥感三要素之一,近海二类水体CDOM的遥感监测一直是国内外研究的热点和难点。基于2016-2017年湛江港湾两个航次的调查资料,探讨了湛江湾水体中CDOM光学特性的时空变化特征及溯源问题。结果表明:在季节变化方面,港湾内表层水体CDOM吸收系数ag(355)和光谱斜率S275~295呈现出秋季夏季的变化特征。在空间分布方面,夏季港湾内表层和底层的ag(355)则基本呈现由北向南、由西向东递减的趋势,表层和底层CDOM光谱斜率S275~295在水平空间上大致呈现斑块状的分布;同时,湾内叶绿素a浓度和浊度均较高,叶绿素a浓度在1~5μg/L之间变化,浊度的范围是5~70 NTU,溶解氧的浓度较小,在3~5 ml/L之间变化。对CDOM吸收系数ag(355)与光谱斜率、叶绿素a、溶解氧、浊度的关系深入分析发现,夏季和秋季水体中CDOM来源主要有浮游植物现场生产和陆源所携带,同时底层沉积物的再悬浮也是秋季水体中CDOM来源之一。两个季节CDOM浓度与DO负相关性较好,表明它对水体的污染和富营养化具有一定的指示作用。     

Landscape integration of North Patagonian mountain lakes: a first approach using characterization of dissolved organic matter

North‐western Patagonia contains a variety of glacially formed mountain lakes located at different positions from the treeline in the Andean Patagonian forest region. Water chemistry of six North Patagonian lakes located in an altitudinal gradient, above, at and below the treeline (~41°S) were analysed in this study. The relative importance of allochtonous to autochthonous carbon inputs along a marked catchment vegetation gradient encompassing altoandino vegetation and Nothofagus forests was addressed. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration varied among the study lakes, with the lakes located higher in the landscape exhibiting lower DOC concentrations (<1 mg L^?1) than lakes located at or below the treeline (>2 mg L^?1). Analysis of coloured and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (CDOM and FDOM, respectively) followed the DOC pattern, despite the contrasting catchments of the study lakes. The results indicated the CDOM in all the lakes had low molecular weight and low aromaticity. The excitation–emission matrices (EEMs) highlighted three distinctive fluorophores in the FDOM, including two humic‐like (peak A and peak C) revealing the presence of humic terrestrial material, and a protein‐like fluorophore (peak T) generally associated with autochthonous DOM. The increased intensities of the humic fluorophores in the lakes located below the treeline suggest higher allochtonous carbon inputs from their catchments. This evidence collectively suggests that mountain lakes exhibit some heterogeneity in terms of DOM, likely attributable to their position in relation to the treeline, which determines the contribution of the catchment. As remote lakes are extremely sensitive to changes in their catchments, these North Patagonian mountain lakes may accurately track the impact of climate and anthropogenic changes on the landscape.     

The spectral characteristics of dissolved organic matter from sediments in Lake Baiyangdian,North China

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) extracted from sediment samples in Lake Baiyangdian was investigated using UV -Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Two parameters, the ratios of absorbance and dissolved organic carbon at 254° nm (SUVA₂₅₄) and the integral area from 240° nm to 400° nm (A_{240 -400}), were used to assess the molecular weight and aromaticity of DOM. The surface sediments showed a relatively low aromaticity of DOM due to the impact of environmental pollution. Synchronous fluorescence spectra showed an extremely high fraction of the protein-like region (PLR). Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) of excitation -emission matrix spectra revealed four fluorescent components occurring in sediment DOM: two humic-like (C1 and C2) components and two protein-like (C3 and C4) components. The PARAFAC-PCA displayed three PCA factors (factors 1, 2 and 3) which accounted for 48.250%, 25.927% and 25.391%, respectively, of the variance in fluorescent component. The humic-like components 1 and 2 concurrently showed positive factor 1 loadings. Factor 2 was mainly explained by the tryptophan-like component C3. A non-humic component 4, having a low factor loading in the other two factors, showed an extremely high factor 3 loading. The EEM -PARAFAC-PCA showed varying contributions of terrestrial versus autochthonous DOM sources in lake sediments.     

Characterization of dissolved organic matter from Australian and Chinese source waters by combined fractionation techniques

The character of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in source waters from two countries (Australia and China) was investigated using an extended fractionation technique by combining resin adsorption, ultrafiltration and high performance size exclusion chromatography. There are distinctive chemical characteristics associated with DOM origins. Australian sourced DOM had higher hydrophobic acid (HoA) content and exhibited a more pronounced humic character, indicating a higher influence from allochthonous organics (decayed plant bodies from vegetated catchments). The higher content of hydrophobic base and neutral components found in Chinese DOM, may be attributed to the effects of increasing pollution caused by the rapid urbanization in China. The molecular weights (MWs) of aquatic HoA are predominantly in the moderate (e.g., 1-10 kDa) or small (e.g., < 1 kDa) ranges. This suggests that aquatic HOA should not be assumed as high MW organics without experimental validation. It is also found that some of the low MW compounds in our samples were hydrophobic, which could explain the observation of low MW organic compounds being able to be removed by conventional treatment processes.     

Seasonal changes predominant over manure application in driving dissolved organic matter shifts in agricultural runoff

Non-point source nutrient pollution can cause eutrophication, hypoxic events, and harmful algal blooms in surface waters. Surface water eutrophication is frequently attributed to agricultural runoff, a known source of inorganic and organic nutrients to surface and subsurface waters. Analysis of dissolved organic matter (DOM) using ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry is an effective tool for characterizing diverse organic nitrogen and phosphorus components of DOM that may be mineralized and/or assimilated and ultimately contribute to eutrophication. An anion exchange resin was applied to extract DOM from surface and subsurface tile runoff from agricultural plots located within the Maumee River watershed (Ohio, USA) that received raw liquid manure, polymer-treated dewatered manure, or no manure (control). DOM extracts were analyzed using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry prior to manure application and during three runoff events after manure application. Organic nitrogen compounds were predominant, making up 38–48% of the total assigned formulas. Principle coordinates analysis indicated clustering predominately by sample month and secondarily by treatment. These findings show that a large amount of variability in DOM in runoff was observed regardless of manure application, indicating the important role played by natural processes in driving transformation of the DOM pool during the growing season. Molecular ions unique to runoff from manure-applied plots were also identified that may be useful in source-tracking of non-point source nutrient pollution in waters draining to Lake Erie.     

Impact of dissolved oxygen concentration on membrane filtering resistance and soluble organic matter characteristics in membrane bioreactors

This study investigated the impact of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on membrane filtering resistance, soluble organic matter (SOM) and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) characteristics in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). A laboratory-scale MBR was operated under DO limited (0.2 mg L(-1) DO) and fully aerobic (3.7 and 5.4 mg L(-1) DO) conditions. Membrane filtering resistance was determined for the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and for resuspended microbial biomass after removing SOM. Regardless of the DO concentration, the cake resistance (Rc) was approximately 95 percent of the total resistance (Rt). The membrane cake resistance was found to decrease significantly after removing the SOM. The total resistance caused by the resuspended biomass was 29 percent of that caused by the MLSS under DO limited conditions, while the total resistance caused by resuspended biomass was 41 to 48 percent of that caused by the MLSS under fully aerobic conditions. Under DO limited conditions, SOM in the MLSS contained a larger amount of high molecular weight compounds, leading to higher cake resistance than under fully aerobic conditions. There was significant variation in the molecular weight fractions of the EPS, with no clear relationship with DO concentration. There was also no distinct relationship between membrane filtering resistance and molecular weight fraction of the EPS.     

水处理工艺过程中有机物分子量分布规律

针对太湖流域某湖泊水源有机物分子量分布的特性,考察饮用水处理各工艺单元对有机物的去除效应。结果表明:原水以小分子量有机物为主,小于1k Dalton的有机物占36.1%;常规工艺对大分子量有机物去除率高,尤其对分子量在10k Dalton以上的有机物去除率达32.7%以上,但对小分子量有机物去除率低,其中分子量小于1k Dalton的有机物反而增加了12.6%左右。超滤深度处理工艺中PES膜工艺对小分子量有机物,特别是分子量小于10kDalton的有机物去除率达76.4%,出水UV254值及SUVA值比砂滤出水分别下降了22.0%和11.2%;PVDF膜工艺对各分子量有机物均有较好的去除,但对大分子有机物去除效果优于小分子有机物,其出水UV254值及SUVA值比砂滤出水分别下降了28.8%和6.3%。     

Seasonal variations of dissolved organic matter in the Nozha hydrodrome during 1969–70 and 1979–80

The seasonal distribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Nozha hydrodrome, a small freshwater lake, was investigated during 1969–70 and 1979–80 to show social and environmental effects on the quantities of DOM in this lake. The major portion of DOM was allochthonous, transported into the lake from the Nile. Some, however, was autochthonous, associated with biological processes. Generally speaking, the concentration of DOM has doubled at each location over ten years, and there was an accompanying decrease in the quantities of dissolved oxygen.     

Variations in chromophoric dissolved organic matter and its influence on the use of pigment-specific fluorimeters in the Great Lakes

The variability of colored material (yellow substances, chromophoric dissolved organic matter [CDOM]) in Great Lakes water on the operation of a submersible pigment-based fluorimeter (FluoroProbe) was assessed. The FluoroProbe is designed to account for the influence of ambient CDOM on fluorimetric analysis of natural waters by using background yellow substance content to correct for fluorescence that is not due to phytoplankton. The objective of this study was to assess FluoroProbe performance as well as determine the variability of CDOM that has a bearing on instrument use. This study focused on Lakes Ontario and Huron in spring and summer and employed up to three FluoroProbes for simultaneous comparisons of performance, as assessed by comparing in situ versus extracted concentrations of chlorophyll-a. Conclusions from this study are: FluoroProbes are not equally accurate; yellow substance correction factors obtained by FluoroProbes are instrument specific; there are seasonal differences in yellow substance correction factors between summer and spring and among thermal strata in summer, in Lakes Huron and Ontario.The observed differences among yellow substance correction factors are attributed to chromophoric material that was assessed independently by measuring CDOM using a separate fluorimetric technique and by measuring in situ UV absorption coefficients. These results suggest that the use of FluoroProbes and related instruments for phytoplankton surveillance and monitoring initiatives must account for differences in ambient CDOM.     

Use of on-line UV/Vis-spectrometry in the measurement of dissolved ozone and AOC concentrations in drinking water treatment.

The concentrations of dissolved ozone and assimilable organic carbon (AOC) are important performance parameters in drinking water production. For the measurement of ozone, a spectral algorithm was developed that allows quantification in situ using a UV/Vis spectrometer probe. Furthermore, a strong correlation between the change in the absorption spectrum after individual treatment steps and the formation or removal of AOC in that treatment step was observed. This allowed the development of a spectral algorithm that predicts AOC formation during ozonation and subsequent removal in further treatment steps. This method has been verified at one pilot plant of the Amsterdam drinking water supply.
