  • Article: Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra coupled with parallel factor and regional integration analysis to characterize organic matter humification.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The present several humification indexes cannot provide the whole fluorescence information on organic matter composition and the evaluation results from them are inconsistent sometimes. In this study, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra coupled with parallel factor analysis and fluorescence regional integration analysis were utilized to investigate organic matter humification, and the projection pursuit cluster (PPC) model was applied to form a suitable index for overcoming the difficulties in multi-index evaluation. The result showed that the ratio between the volume of humic- and fulvic-like fluorescence region and the volume of protein-like fluorescence region not only revealed the heterogeneity of organic matter, but also provided more accurate information on organic matter humification. In addition, the results showed that the PPC model could be used to characterize integrally the humification, and the projected characteristic value calculated from the PPC model could be used as the integrated humification evaluation index.

  • Article: The composition and mercury complexation characteristics of dissolved organic matter in landfill leachates with different ages.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Dissolved organic matter obtained from landfill leachate was separated into hydrophobic acid, base, neutral (HOA, HOB, HON) and hydrophilic (HIM) fractions. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra and parallel factor analysis were employed to characterize the composition, and fluorescence quenching titration technique was applied to study the complexation between Hg (II) and HON, HOA, and HIM fractions. Protein-like substances, humic-like compounds and xenobiotic organic matters (XOM) were identified in all fractions. The HOA, HOB and HON fractions comprised mainly XOM, while the HIM fraction consisted primarily of humic-like compounds. The complexation ability of protein-like substances was higher than that of humic-like compounds. The complexation ability of the HIM was highest for protein-like substances, while the complexation ability of the HON fraction was the highest for humic-like substances. The results suggested that the toxicity and bioavailability of the mercury in the young leachates was the highest, and decreased with landfill time.

  • Article: [Analysis on the forms and release potential of nutrients in sediments from lakes in the West Jiangsu Province].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To probe the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus (P) in sediment on aqueous nutrient concentrations, forms of phosphorus, sediment water interface diffusion fluxes and phosphorus release and adsorption of 10 lakes in the west Jiangsu province were studied. Sediments were sequentially extracted by the modified Ruttenberg's method, and the result showed that inorganic phosphorus in sediments of the lakes was the major fraction of total phosphorus, but the proportion of bioavailable phosphorus was relatively low. Compared with the lakes in northern Jiangsu, the Fe-P was relatively high in sediments of lakes in southern Jiangsu. The diffusion fluxes of lakes were mainly based on NH4(+) -N diffusion in the west Jiangsu, and ions of most of lakes diffused from overlying water to sediment, NO3(-) -N diffused from sediment to overlying water in lakes except for Lake Hongze, Lake Shijiu and Lake Xuanwu. The condition leaning to acidic (pH < 4) or alkaline (pH > 10) was beneficial to phosphorus release, and except for Lake Xuanwu, the least amount of phosphorus released form sediment was higher in acidic condition than that in alkaline condition. The amount of phosphorus adsorption was increasing with temperature increase. Considering the phosphorus adsorption on native phosphorus polluted (NAP-polluted) sediments. All data of P adsorption on sediment samples collected from 7 lakes were fitted to the modified Langmuir model. And the values of the maximum adsorption capacity (Q(m)), phosphorus binding constant (k), native adsorbed exchangeable phosphorus (Q(NAP)), were subsequently obtained. The results showed that the adsorption amount of P in Lake Hongze and Lake Xuanwu was relatively low, which were liable to release P from sediments.

  • Article: [The remove characteristics of dissolved organic matter in landfill leachate during the treatment process].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In order to investigate remove characteristics of dissolved organic matter in landfill leachate, leachates were sampled during the process (i. e. , adjusting tank, anaerobic zone, oxidation ditch and MBR processing). Dissolved organic matter was extracted and its content and structure were characterized by fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra, UV-Vis specrtra and FTIR spectra. The results showed that an amount of 377.6 mg x L(-1) dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was removed during the whole treatment process, and the total removal rate was up to 78.34%. The 25.56% of DOC in the adjusting tank was removed during the anaerobic zone, 41.58% of DOC in anaerobic effluent was removed during the oxidation ditch, while 50.19% of DOC in the oxidation ditch effluent decreased in the MBR process. The anaerobic process increased the content of unsaturated compound and polysaccharides in leachate DOM, which improved the leachate biochemical characteristics. The unsaturated compound and polysaccharides were removed effectively during being in oxidation ditch. Protein-like and humic-like fluorescence peaks were observed in the adjusting tank and anaerobic zone, while humic-like fluorescence peaks were just presented in the oxidation ditch and MBR processing. Protein-like and fulvic-like substances were biodegraded in the adjusting tank and anaerobic zone, while humic-like materials were removed in the MBR process.

  • Article: Elemental and spectroscopic methods with chemometric analysis for characterizing composition and transformation of dissolved organic matter during chicken manure composting.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Dissolved organic matter was extracted from chicken manure after 1, 8, 16, 28 and 40 days of composting and characterized by combining elemental and spectroscopic methods with chemometric analysis to investigate the evolution of composting materials. The elemental and spectroscopic analysis results showed that the composting process was characterized by the biodegradation of aliphatics, polysaccharide and proteins, as well as by the synthesis of aromatic structures, humic-like substances and macromolecules. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis indicated that the data from elemental and spectroscopic analysis fell into three main groups, and corresponded to the biodegradation, aromatization, and humification and polymerization state of the composting materials. Hierarchical cluster analysis indicated rapid biodegradation of organic matter during the first eight days, and the formation of aromatic structures, humic-like materials and macromolecules in dissolved organic matter after eight days.

  • Article: [Fluorescence spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matters (DOM) from Jingpo Lake water].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Six samples (sample J1-J6) from Jingpo Lake in Heilongjiang province were analyzed by fluorescence and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix regional integration (FIR) to determine the different characteristics of dissolved organic matters (DOM). The results with the traditional method just analyzing the excitation, emission and synchronous fluorescence spectra indicated that DOM molecular condensation degree was highest at sample J4 and sample J5, however, the study with the three-dimensional-excitation emission matrix spectra (3EEMs) method showed that the content of protein-like material was higher in sample J6 than others. In the second method, 3EEMs was divided into five regions, among which Region I, Region II, and Region IV were related to protein-like material, Region II was related to fulvic acid-like material, Region V was related to humic acid-like organics, and then these regions were integrated named as A(I), A(II), A(III), A(IV) and A(V). The integration results showed that the volume of A(V) occupied the largest proportion of the DOM region integration from all samples, and it exhibited the most prominent both in sample J4 and sample J5, while it's opposite in sample J6. Integral ratio, which means humic acid-like region (A(III), A(V)) divided by protein-like region(A(I), A(II), A(IV)), showed that the value of J4(4. 94) was close to J5 (5.18), J1 (3.52) was close to J2 (3.66), and the minimum value appeared in J6 (2.11). From the above analysis, the DOM humification degree could be confirmed as follows: J4, J5 > J1, J2 > J3 > J6.

  • Article: [Regional heterogeneity of lake eutrophication effects in China].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Although biomass of algae (Chl-a) were in variant levels between different lake regions in China under the same nutrients conditions, it demonstrated that efficiencies of TN/TP used by algae had regional differences. In order to clarify the differences, curve estimation in SPSS was used to analyze the linear relationship between Ig Chl-a and Ig TN/lg TP. The slopes of these linear equations were identified as the efficiencies of TN/TP used by algae. The slopes of linear equations from Mengxin Plateau, Yungui Plateau, Northeast Mountain-Plain, lower reach of Yangtze River Plain and North Plain were 1.002, 0.817, 0.761, 0.545, 0.250, orderly. The efficiencies of TN used by algae ranged from the highest to the lowest were lower reach of Yangtze River Plain, Yungui Plateau, North Plain, Northeast Mountain-Plain, Mengxin Plateau, and the slopes of linear equations were 1.401, 1.058, 0.447, 0.239, 0. 099, respectively. Consequently, in Northeast Mountain-Plain, Mengxin Plateau the efficiencies of TP used by algae were higher than those of TN, and in Yangtze River Plain, Yungui Plateau, North Plain, the efficiencies of TN used by algae were higher than those of TP. On the other hand, in order to describe the effects of algae on transparency in different lakes, the relationships between Chl-a and SD were analyzed. The results showed that in Yungui Plateau the effect of algae on transparency was the most obvious as the variation of SD explained by Chl-a was the highest, and Northeast Mountain-Plain, Mengxin Plateau and North Plain followed. However, in lower reach of Yangtze River Plain, the relationship between Chl-a and SD was not significant.

  • Article: Effect of inoculation methods on the composting efficiency of municipal solid wastes.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Four types of inoculation methods were studied during the composting of municipal solid wastes and dry grass (MSWG). The methods included a control group as well as initial-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage inoculations. Fulvic acids were extracted from the composting materials and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The results showed that inoculation of microbes in MSWG enhanced the biodegradation of aliphatics, proteins, and polysaccharides. The inoculation also increased the molecular weight, humic- and fulvic-like compound content, as well as humification degree of the composting products. The inoculation of microbes in MSWG significantly improved composting process and efficiency. The improvement efficiency was in the order of initial-stage < two-stage < multi-stage inoculations. Inoculation of microbes based on composting organic matter composition and temperature enhanced composting efficiency.

    Article: Remediation of pentachlorophenol-contaminated soil by composting with immobilized Phanerochaete chrysosporium
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To reduce and eliminate the hazards of pentachlorophenol (PCP) to the soil, the method of inoculating free and immobilized white rot fungi, Phanerochaete chrysosporium to PCP-polluted soils was investigated. Three parallel beakers A, B, C are adopted with the same components of soil, yard waste, straw and bran for aerated composting to degrade the PCP in soil. A was with no inoculants as control, B was added with the inoculants of immobilized P.␣chrysosporium, C was inoculated with non-immobilized P. chrysosporium, and additionally D contained only PCP-contaminated soils also as control. By contrastive analyses, the feasibility of applying composting to the bioremediation of the PCP-polluted soil was discussed. From the experimental results, it could be seen that the degradation rate of PCP by the immobilized fungi exceeded 50% at day 9, while that of the non-immobilized fungi achieved the same rate at day 16. However, the final degradation rates of PCP for both of them were beyond 90% at day 60 and that the rate of A was much lower than the others. The above data have shown that the degradation effect of inoculating P. chrysosporium was better than that of no inoculation, and that of the immobilized fungi was better than that of non-immobilized ones. Meanwhile, shown by all the indicators the composts of A, B and C were mature and stabilized at the end of the experiment. Therefore, the method of composting with immobilized P.␣chrysosporium is effective for the bioremediation of PCP-contaminated soil.

    ABSTRACT: Based on current researches, described the sources, toxicities, analytical methods and occurrence of PFOA and PFOS in wastewater treatment plants, lakes, rivers, coastal areas and tap waters in different countries in the world. According to the limited concentrations of PFOA + PFOS in effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) put forward by Germany, the concentrations of PFOA + PFOS in WTP effluents in Singapore, Germany, Korea and England were assessed. The results showed that the concentrations of PFOA + PFOS in WTP effluents in Singapore were higher than the liminted concentration of 300 microg/L. Researches done by China, Japan, USA, and other countries showed that the concentrations of POFA and PFOS in rivers and coastal areas reached to ng/L, and the concentrations in Tennessee River, USA were the highest, reached to 100 ng/L. The risk assessments of PFOA and PFOS in tap water in some cities in China were assessed according to the risk quotients(RQ). The assessment results showed that tap waters from 19 cities in China were all below the risk level.

  • Article: [Characteristics of organic phosphorus fractions in different trophic sediments of lakes, China].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this study, the characteristics of organic phosphorus fractions in sediments of seven lakes with different drainage basin feature, ecological structure, and polluted levels from different regions were investigated, and the relationships between organic phosphorus (Po), inorganic phosphorus (Pi) and bioavailable characters were also discussed. The difference of the related content of Po in different sediments indicated the discrepancy of phosphorus sources and biogeochemical cycles in different lakes. Organic matter (OM) was significantly correlated with Po (R2 = 0.80, p < 0.01), and except for Lake Qilu, OM was significantly correlated with labile Po, moderately labile Po and nonlabile Po in all studied sediments (R2 were 0.85, 0.52, 0.80 respectively, p < 0.01). The moderately labile Po and nonlabile Po were the main fraction of Po in all studied lakes, and the relative contributions to total Po were 15.12%-66.73% and 27.99%-77.72%, respectively. The mean proportion of labile Po was 6.1% in studied sediments. The rank order of Po fractions was residual Po > HCl-Po > fulvic acid-Po > humic acid-Po > NaHCO3-Po with mean relative proportion 8.3:3.1:2.2:1.8:1.0. Labile Po was significantly correlated with total phosphorus (TP), Pi , Po, NaHCO3-Pi and NaOH-Pi . Furthermore, Labile Po was also significantly correlated with T), Po and NaOH-Pi in all studied sediments, which suggested that labile Po was transformed into bioavailable phosphorus and the nonlabile Po may become a potential source of available phosphorus, although it was considered as highly resistant fraction.

  • Article: Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy with regional integration analysis for characterizing composition and transformation of dissolved organic matter in landfill leachates.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) obtained from landfill leachates was separated into hydrophobic base, hydrophilic matter (HIM), hydrophobic acid (HOA), and hydrophobic neutral fractions. The composition and transformation of the DOM and its fractions were investigated. The results show that the DOM isolated from young, intermediate, and old landfill leachates were mainly composed of tyrosine-, tryptophan-, and humic- and fulvic-like substances, respectively. The primary fractions of the DOM in leachates were HOA and HIM. The HOA and HIM fractions from young leachates predominantly contained tryptophan- and tyrosine-like materials, respectively. The HOA fractions in intermediate and old leachates were mainly composed of humic- and fulvic-like materials, whereas the HIM fractions were dominated by tryptophan-like materials and humic- and fulvic-like substances. The hydrophobic organic fractions and humic- and fulvic-like substances increased with time, whereas the HIM and the tyrosine-like materials decreased during the landfill process, rendering biological processing of leachates ineffective.

  • Article: [Impacts of different inoculation methods on fluorescence characteristics of DOM in solid waste composting].
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In order to determine the best inoculation methods of compound microorganisms in solid waste composting, dissolved organic matter (DOM) during the process of composting under five different inoculation methods, including inoculation at the start, at the high-temperature phase, after the high-temperature phase, at the maturity phase and without inoculation, was tested through spectral analysis to investigate the time variations of DOM components in solid waste composting. Fluorescence spec-tra analysis of DOM indicated that the spectral characteristics of DOM in the composting piles of the five treatments exhibited a certain trend with composting time increasing, in which macromolecules with complex structures and humic substances gradually increased, and the heap materials became more and more stabilized. According to the comparisons of the fluorescence spectroscopy maps and related parameters, the treatment of inoculating compound microorganisms at the start time or after the high-temperature phase could notably speed up the humification process in solid waste composting.

    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: For the purpose of evaluating the stability of municipal solid waste (MSW) excavated from a landfill, dissolved organic matter was extracted and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Results showed that dissolved organic carbon concentration, ratio of dissolved organic carbon to dissolved organic nitrogen, and specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm were in the range of 0.383-3.502 g kg(-1), 0.388-3.693 and 2.700-4.629 L mg(-1) m(-1), respectively, indicating the stability of MSW. Results obtained from Fourier transform infrared spectra have demonstrated that the stability of excavated MSW was characterized by disappearance of some easily biodegradable compounds; and the 1635/1406 ratio varied from 0.979 to 1.840 and was higher than that of the matured compost. The excitation-emission matrix spectra have shown that the principal components in excavated MSW comprised humic substances and the MSW was stable by the presence of a peak with wavelength pair of ∼280/420 nm.

    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: A laboratory-scale experiment was conducted to investigate the performance of defluorination from groundwater by nanofiltration (NF) technology, to find out the potential reason of ions rejection by NF, and also to study the feasibility of multistage NF membranes arrangement for defluorination consideration of the product water quality/flow, as well as the water recovery. NF has an excellent character of selective removal, and can keep the potentially beneficial ions to human health in the product water. In addition, F - concentration in product of a single stage of NF membrane system can meet the national drinking water standard of China in rural area when the feed F - concentrations are below 3.40 mg L -1 . Hydration energy of cation or anion is found to be one reason that has the strong influence on rejection efficiency with sequence SO4 2- > Mg 2+ > Ca 2+ > F - > Cl - > NO3 - > Na + during NF separation. With the multistage (double or trinary) NF system, the total water recovery rate and the product water flow are both improved significantly, and the potable water that contains F - concentration less than 1.2 mg L -1 can also be achieved. Therefore, membranes arrangement staging in series with double staging or trinary staging is feasible.

    ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this research is to present an ecoregion model based on the principle components analysis (PCA), the cluster analysis (CA), the discriminant analysis (DA) and the spatial autocorrelation analysis (SAA), which were applied to establish the ecorigion of lake nutrients in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau Lakes. First, the principle components analysis method was used not only to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, but also to deal with new indexes. The accumulation contribution ratio of the four new indexes achieved 93.69%, which had the full representation. These complementary indexes which reflect the conditions of lakes were helpful to establish the index system of ecorigion of lake nutrients in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau Lakes. Second, initial classification of lake drainage area was accomplished by new indicator values and cluster analysis which contained five classes, and then the categories of non-lake drainage area could be identified by the discriminant analysis. Finally, the cluster result was carried on the global statistics, Moran's I was 0.32 which was higher than 0, and the examination value Z was 68.28 which was higher than marginal value (remarkable level 1% correspond 2.58), it was indicated that the cluster result and the space position had the remarkable relativity, afterward spatial distribution pattern of the region was achieved by the quantificational analysis about over score of principle components and application of local spatial autocorrelation method. Then the ecorigion of lake nutrients was accomplished by the association and difference between different districts of the scattered regions' s spatial character. These results indicated that the ecoregion model initiated in the paper was appropriate and feasible to receive objective results and avoid artificial factors. Also it has provided a new method to explore the index system and techniques about the ecoregion of lake nutrients. Scientifically, the model was in favor of the foundation of lake nutrient criteria and eutrophication control standards in China.

    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The characteristic parameters obtained from UV-Visible spectra of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during composting were studied in the present paper. The results showed that, during composting progress, the non-humic substances were translated into humus substances, and the aromatization, humification degree and molecular weight of the humus substances increased, while the fatty chains linked with the benzene ring structure were cleavaged into carbonyl, carboxyl and other functional groups. The correlation analysis showed that, when DOM concentration (DOC) from all samples was the same, the specific ultraviolet absorbance values at 254 and 280 nm (SUVA254 and SUVA280, respectively), and the area of a spectrum obtained from 226 to 400 nm (A(226-400)) showed significant positive correlation, furthermore, they were all significantly negatively correlated with the concentration of DOM (DOC), but the correlation between A(226-400) and DOC was the best; The ratio between the absorbance value at 253 nm and that at 203 nm (E253/E203) was significantly correlative with SUVA254, SUVA280 and A 226-400, though the correlation between E253/E203 and DOC was not as good as the other three characteristic parameters; The ratio between the absorbance value at 250 nm and that at 365 nm (E250/E365) and the ratio between the absorbance value at 465 nm and that at 665 nm(E250/E365) were not correlated with the other parameters. The results showed that, the stability of DOM extracted from chicken manure increased during composting, and the complex ability between DOM and heavy metals enhanced as well; A(226-400) reflects the changes of compost maturity best in all UV-Visible spectral absorption parameters studied in this paper.
