Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics and source 

apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols in PM<inf>10</inf>for the daytime and nighttime 

during spring and summer over Lanzhou. The samples were collected from 1 April 2015 to 30 

August 2015, daytime samples were collected during 08:00 to 20:00 and nighttime samples 

during 20:00 to 08:00 on the next day, and organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) 

concentrations were measured. The results showed that PM<inf>10</inf>, OC and EC 

concentrations were (136.0&plusmn;84.3), (12.4&plusmn;3.2), (2.3&plusmn;0.7) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during the daytime, and (196.0&plusmn;109.2), 

(16.0&plusmn;5.3), (5.0&plusmn;2.1) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during the nighttime. The 

mass concentrations of PM<inf>10</inf>, OC and EC in the nighttime were higher than those 

during the daytime. The ratios of secondary organic carbon to total organic carbon were 

higher in the daytime than nighttime, suggesting that the secondary organic carbon 

pollution was more serious in the daytime. In sand-dust weather, the concentrations of 

PM<inf>10</inf>and OC were higher than those in non-dust weather, while the EC 

concentration was close to that in non-dust weather. Secondary organic carbon and total 

carbon aerosols were higher in sand-dust weather, but the contribution to the 

PM<inf>10</inf>was relatively low. In addition, principal component analysis on the eight 

carbon fractions of non-dust weather indicated that coal combustion, vehicle exhaust and 

biomass burning were the major sources for carbonaceous aerosol during the daytime, while 

coal combustion, dust, diesel exhaust and biomass burning played important roles in the 

nighttime. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Forms distribution and ecotoxicity of sulfonamides in root-soil interface of 

maize were studied by chemical analysis and luminescent bacteria toxicity assay. The 

results indicated that the water soluble residues were the main form in rhizosperic 

soils, and the organic solvent extractable residues were the main form in far-rhizosperic 

soils. The three forms of sulfonamides showed relatively lower toxicity to luminescent 

bacteria with the relative inhibition rates less than 30%. The toxicity of water soluble 

residues was lower than that of the organic solvent extractable residues, and the bound 

residues showed the lowest toxicity to luminescent bacteria. The contents and relative 

inhibition rates of water soluble residues in rhizosperic soils were higher than those in 

far-rhizosperic soils, while the contents and relative inhibition rates of organic 

solvent extractable and bound residues in rhizosperic soils were lower than those in 

far-rhizosperic soils. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Coastal organic pollution has become a serious problem, thus it is imperative to 

assess the potential effects on the marine environment. The microbes are generally the 

first responders to environmental perturbation, which may serve as biological indicators 

for pollution levels. In this study, we collected surface seawater samples from Sanmen 

Bay and adjacent Yushan Reserve. Using an Illumina sequencing based analysis of bacterial 

16S rRNA gene, we explored the effect of organic pollution on the bacterioplankton 

community compositions (BCCs). The results showed that the organic pollution (A) was 

4.57&plusmn;2.41 at Sanmen Bay, which was significantly higher (P&lt;0.001) than that in 

Yushan Reserve (0.43&plusmn;0.74). The bacterial diversity and community compositions 

differed significantly between the two locations. Specifically, the relative abundance of 

Actinobacteria, &alpha;-Proteobacteria, &beta;-Proteobacteria, SAR406 in Sanmen Bay was 

significantly higher than that in Yushan Reserve, while Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, 

Planctomycetes exhibited an opposite change pattern. A multivariate regression tree 

analysis showed that the bacterial diversity was primarily affected by water pH, organic 

pollution and chlorophyll a levels, which respectively explained 27.7%, 15.6% and 6.7% 

variance in bacterial diversity. A redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that the 

bacterioplankton community was significantly controlled by pH, salinity and organic 

pollution, which cumulatively explained 14.8% of the variation in BCCs. In addition, the 

geographic distance was significantly (P&lt;0.001) correlated with BCCs, accounting for 

4.42% variance, which suggested that the spatial distribution of bacterioplankton 

community was non-random. Moreover, this study screened 23 sensitive bacterial families, 

whose relative abundances were significantly associated the organic pollution. For a 

given bacterial family, the change pattern of relative abundance was consistent with its 

known function, thus holding the potential for indicating organic pollution levels. To 

conclude, this study showed that the increasing coastal organic pollution had altered 

BCCs, and enriched the relative abundances of potential pathogens. Furthermore, the 

sensitive bio-indicators were screened for evaluating the increasing organic pollution 

level. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A large number of researches showed that the N<inf>2</inf>O negative emissions 

from flooding paddy fields, peatlands and other wetlands ecosystem were frequent and 

considerable, which is of great significance on alleviating the greenhouse gas effect. 

However, there are few reports about the transformation and microbial mechanism of 

N<inf>2</inf>O between atmosphere and paddy soil. The slurry of surface paddy soil (0-5 

cm) was incubated in laboratory conditions, and the effect of enhanced N<inf>2</inf>O 

concentrations in headspace on the N<inf>2</inf>O consumption capacity of submerged paddy 

soil and the response of nosZ gene abundance were explored. The results showed that, 

paddy soil under flooding and anaerobic conditions harbored very strong potential of 

N<inf>2</inf>O reduction along with a relatively high nosZ gene abundance 

(10<sup>8</sup>copies&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dry soil at DNA level). Regression analysis 

presented the N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations in headspace were positively correlated 

(r<sup>2</sup>=1, P&lt;0.001) to the N<inf>2</inf>O consumption rates of paddy soil 

slurry, indicating the high N<inf>2</inf>O concentration could stimulate the 

N<inf>2</inf>O consumption power, to a very high rate of 4 567.99 &mu;g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences 

in the high abundance of nosZ gene among N<inf>2</inf>O treatments, demonstrating the 

nosZ gene abundance at DNA level might not be the main controller of N<inf>2</inf>O 

consumption ability in submerged paddy soil and further study on the key microbial factor 

is needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:According to the data collected from the five monitoring sites in front of the 

dam in Thousand-island Lake in September 2015, the vertical distribution characteristics 

of dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity and 

phytoplankton were analyzed. The influencing factors of special stratification of DO and 

vertical distribution of phytoplankton were also discussed. The results showed that: (1) 

The vertical distribution of DO presented &ldquo;the surface is higher than the 

underlying&rdquo; mode. DO ranged from 1.95 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 8.25 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the average concentration was 5.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

Low-oxygen zones appeared between 12 m and 20 m and the minimum concentration was 1.95 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>at 17 m. The concentration of DO maintained at a high level 

between 0 m and 12 m and the vertical variance was small. Sudden drop of DO occurred 

between 12 m and 20 m and there was an anoxic zone (&lt;4.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). 

The concentration of DO returned to normal level between 20 m and 38 m. Then it reduced 

under 38m as the water depth increased. The vertical distribution of pH showed the same 

trend with that of DO and their sudden change regions appeared in the same zone. (2) 

Vertical phytoplankton biomass displayed significant difference. The phytoplankton 

biomass of S1, S2 and S3 presented: mid-layer&gt;surface&gt;bottom. But S4, S5 presented: 

bottom&gt;surface&gt;mid-layer. In addition, the depth between 20 m and 30 m was the best 

for the growth of phytoplankton. (3) The correlation analysis showed that DO and water 

temperature in the thermocline were significantly correlative. The range and degree of 

low-oxygen zones in Thousand-island Lake was determined by physical processes like 

thermal stratification of water and direct or indirect effects of the plankton. 

Phytoplankton and DO, pH showed significant negative correlation. The phytoplankton was 

mainly influenced by turbulent mixing and DO stratification in the surface layer while it 

was mainly influenced by light intensity at the bottom. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Hanfeng Pre-reservoir is very rare in the world which is specially designed to 

reduce the impact of Fluctuating Zone, and it is formed in Hanfeng Lake of Three Gorges 

reservoir. The Hanfeng Pre-reservoir has many special hydrological characteristics and 

ecological environment features based on its unique &ldquo;pre-reservoir&rdquo; control 

mode, the wide seasonal wetland of Fluctuating Zone, the huge life pollution and 

agricultural pollution, and the pressure of huge city and excessive population. HanFeng 

Lake has a variety of morphological features such as lakes, rivers, and other backwater 

bay, for the effect of water level regulation in Three Gorges, since the successful 

commissioning of the Hanfeng Lake pre-dam system in 2015. The change of Hanfeng Lake 

hydrology and water quality during the commissioning was divided into four periods by 

combining Hydrological and Morphological Variation characteristics with Water quality 

indicators time clustering analysis: May to August as T1 (river period); January, March 

and November to December as T2 (lake period); February, April and September as T3 (water 

level fluctuation period); October as T4 (algal blooms period) in 2015. Principal 

component analysis and stepwise regression analysis showed that Eutrophication of Hanfeng 

Lake was dominated by different dominant components at different times and the water 

quality index factor which has a significant effect on the Chl-a was also different. 

Cumulative contribution rates of principal components were 82.93%, 77.61%, 78.32%, 88.40% 

for each period, respectively. The main water quality indicators of T1 (river period) 

were DP, TP, SD, pH and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>2</inf>, so 

Chl-a was mainly affected by water nitrogen content. The main water quality indicators of 

T2 (lake period) were TN, DN, DP, TP, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and the significant 

influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>1</inf>, so Chl-a was mainly affected by water 

eutrophication including nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient status. The main water quality 

indicators of T3 (water level fluctuation period) were SD, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, 

DN, T and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>3</inf>. so Chl-a was 

mainly affected by water level fluctuation. The main water quality indicators of T4 

(algal blooms period) were TN, DN, DO, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, pH, permanganate 

index, H, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was 

PC<inf>3</inf>. so Chl-a was mainly affected by flow rate and hydrodynamic conditions. As 

mentioned in the review, the frequent and significant water level changes during the 

commissioning of Hanfeng Lake were the important factors influencing the change of 

hydrological and water quality characteristics. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental 

contaminants that originate mainly from anthropogenic sources. PAHs have elicited much 

concern because they exhibit strong toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties. 

Agricultural soil is at risk of PAH contamination mainly caused by atmospheric 

depositions, wastewater irrigation, or organic substances and biowaste applied as 

fertilizers. The surface agricultural soils were collected from Shandong in July 2015, 

and measured for 16 US EPA priority PAHs using high performance liquid chromatography 

with UV and fluorescence detector. The content and composition of PAHs were analyzed. The 

differences of PAHs between soils from the field for growing crops and from vegetable 

greenhouses, and between soils from point sources and from non-point sources were 

compared. The sources of PAHs were determined with methods of ratio between PAHs and 

positive matrix factorization (PMF), and the risks of PAHs were assessed. The results 

showed that the total content of 16 PAHs (&sum;16PAHs) ranged from 111.5 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 2 744.1 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, with the mean of 556.3 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The content of 3-ring PAHs was relatively high, with the mean 

of 201.5 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>; while the contents of 2-ring and 6-ring PAHs were 

relatively low, with the mean of 39.3 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 43.4 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. According to the contamination classification in Poland, 71% of 

the samples in Shangdong were weakly contaminated. Compared with other areas in China, 

the content of PAHs in the agricultural soils in Shandong was in the middle range. 

Acenaphthene, fluorine, and fluoranthene were the major PAH compounds, accounting for 

more than 10% of the total PAHs; while the contribution of indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene was 

low. The content of &sum;16PAHs and contribution of 7 carcinogenic PAHs were 

significantly higher in soils polluted by point sources than those in soils from non-

point sources. Moreover, the contribution of PAHs with 2-3 rings was significantly higher 

in soils from non-point sources, while the contribution of PAHs with 4-6 rings was 

significantly higher in soils polluted by point sources. There was no significant 

difference in soils from vegetable greenhouses and from adjacent field soils, and the 

contribution of PAHs with 3-4 rings was high. The PAH isomer pair ratios of Ant/(Ant

+Phe), Flu/(Flu+Pyr), BaA/(BaA+Chr), and InP/(InP+BP) were utilized as molecular indices 

to elucidate the possible PAH sources, and the results suggested that the PAHs in the 

soils were mainly from combustion. To quantitatively assess the contribution of various 

sources to PAH contamination, PMF was used to analyze the sources. The sources of PAHs 

were combustion of coal biomass, oil combustion from traffic, coking, and petroleum 

pollution, with contribution of 42.7%, 19.3%, 22.8% and 15.2%, respectively. Toxic 

equivalency factors were used to evaluate PAH contamination in the soils, and the 

carcinogenicity of other PAHs relative to BaP was quantified to estimate the BaP-

equivalent concentration (TEQ<inf>BaP</inf>). The TEQ<inf>BaP</inf>of 16 PAHs 

(&sum;16TEQ<inf>Bap</inf>) in soils from non-point sources and vegetable greenhouses was 

31.69 and 44.47 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, which were below the safe value 

in Canadian soil quality guidelines. However, the &sum;16TEQ<inf>Bap</inf>in some field 

soils from point sources exceeded the safe value, indicating that there were potential 

risks in the soils from point sources in Shandong. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Greenhouse gas emission from aquatic ecosystem will affect climate change on the 

regional and global scale. So large river interception project which affects the carbon 

cycle model and greenhouse gas emission from aquatic ecosystem has provoked more and more 

attentions in recent years. In order to understand and evaluate the effects of typical 

hydropower project construction on the aquatic ecosystem and carbon cycle, the Geheyan 

Reservoir, a typical river interception project, was selected as a typical case in this 

paper for measuring carbon dioxide fluxes from interface between water and atmosphere 

from March, 2015 to February, 2016. The integration of the online gas analyzer and 

floating box was used to obtain carbon dioxide fluxes from interface between water and 

atmosphere. Data was obtained over the before dam, upstream, tributary, drawdown area and 

bay area respectively for understanding the spatial Heterogeneity of carbon dioxide 

fluxes. Data analysis showed that yearly mean fluxes of carbon dioxide from the Geheyan 

Reservoir was (55.6918&plusmn;66.3329) mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>during measurement, which indicated that the temporal distribution was higher in 

winter and lower in other seasons and the spatial variation was higher in typical bay and 

lower before dam as well as drawdown zone over the reservoir. Moreover, the seasonal 

variation of carbon dioxide fluxes from the interface between water and atmosphere was 

very stable at Yuxiakou measurement points as a typical background area of the reservoir, 

which was unexpectedly higher than those before dam and drawdown zone in the most months 

during measurement. The results from data analysis also indicated that the spatial and 

temporal variation of carbon dioxide fluxes from the Geheyan Reservoir was affected by 

water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, pH, water temperature and 

conductivity and carbon in water, but the relationship between carbon dioxide fluxes and 

other parameter was very different within each season and impound period. So the results 

above will provide more supports for understanding the import pathway and transfer of 

aquatic carbon cycle caused by large river interception project in China. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In recent years, more and more public attention has been paid to the problem of 

air pollution during the heating period in North China. This article took a heavy 

pollution process of Shijiazhuang district from Nov. 24th to Dec. 4th in 2015 as an 

example, and analyzed comprehensively the source apportionment in different periods, size 

distribution of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>from each source in different periods, the 

characteristics of mass spectra of the main emission sources and the meteorological 

conditions with the method of real-time online source analysis. It turned out: the main 

sources of pollutants were coal combustions, industrial discharges, vehicle exhausts and 

secondary inorganic reactions. With the help of meteorological condition of low pressure 

and low wind speed, the PM<inf>2.5</inf>mainly produced by coal combustions and 

industrial discharges accumulated heavily and went through the second stage conversion, 

leading to this heavy air pollution. The main particulate matters from coal combustions 

were the mixed carbons; the main particulate matters from industrial discharges were 

metals; the main particulate matters from vehicle exhausts were elemental carbon and 

manganese metal; the main particulate matters from pure secondary inorganic sources were 

secondary inorganic ions; the main particulate matters from dust pollution were aluminum, 

calcium, iron and silicate minerals; the main particulate matters from biomass fuel 

combustions were levoglucosan; the feature signal from restaurant discharges was organic 

acid. Different from the distribution before and after the heavy pollution period, the 

particulate matters from the 8 pollution sources presented even distribution during the 

heavy pollution period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Speciation characteristics of fifteen heavy metals in seventeen surface 

sediments from Jiulong River was analyzed using the modified BCR protocol and dilute 

HNO<inf>3</inf>method, respectively. The results of the modified BCR protocol showed that 

most of the elements (Fe, Ni, V, Tl, Ba, Sb, Ga, Cr and Sr) existed mainly in residual 

fractions, and extractable fraction was dominant for Mn (83.8%), followed by Cd, Pb, Zn, 

Co and Cu (80.0%, 75.5%, 74.3%, 70.8% and 57.7%). The results of dilute 

HNO<inf>3</inf>method showed that the proportions of the dilute HNO<inf>3</inf>-

extractable fractions of Pb, Mn, Cd, Co, Zn and Cu were higher (70.4%, 65.4%, 58.7%, 

48.4%, 44.5% and 45.5%). The assessment results of RSP (ratio of secondary phase to 

primary phase) indicated that Pb, Mn, Cd, Co, Zn and Cu in surface sediments of Jiulong 

River had higher ecological risks. Both extraction methods had merits and demerits 

respectively. In general, the dilute HNO<inf>3</inf>method is enough to analyze the 

bioavailability and ecological risk of heavy metals in sediments. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Urban traffic is an important source of greenhouse gases such as CH<inf>4</inf>. 

The observations on CH<inf>4</inf>are the basis for quantitative analysis of urban carbon 

emissions. Taken into consideration the weekly and daily changing characteristics of 

urban traffic, we conducted experiments to analyze the features of traffic 

CH<inf>4</inf>emission and its influential factors. The experiments were conducted on 3 

main roads in Nanjing on Oct. 17, 18, 20, 23, 2014 with 5 periods of observation per day, 

and in Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel in the morning and at night of Sep.11 2014. The 

results showed that: (1)The average concentration of CH<inf>4</inf>on the urban main road 

of Nanjing city was greater than that of the background atmosphere. Affected by traffic 

conditions, the spatial difference of &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was significant 

on three typical main roads. &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration's diurnal variation 

showed inverted &ldquo;W&rdquo; type, and its peak appeared in the morning and evening 

rush hours. (2) Due to the &ldquo;piston wind&rdquo; in the tunnel, the 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration in Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel gradually increased from the 

inlet to the outlet and the difference of concentration between the inlet and the outlet 

was 0.21&times;10<sup>-6</sup>-0.38&times;10<sup>-6</sup>. (3)There was a good linear 

correlation between CH<inf>4</inf>concentration and CO<inf>2</inf>concentration. The 

atmospheric &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>value of urban main road in 

Nanjing was 0.009 1 and the atmospheric 

&Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>value of Nanjing Yangtze River Tunnel 

was 0.000 47-0.001 4. (4)Traffic volume and the proportion of natural gas vehicles were 

the main factors influencing atmospheric &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration and 

&Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The concentration level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) in topsoil 

from Shenfu New City in urbanization was studied. 54 topsoil samples were collected from 

Shenfu New City and 4 different land uses (urban land, rural land, forest land, 

cultivated land) were included. The concentration of PAHs in different land uses was 

analyzed, the sources of soil PAHs were analyzed by using diagnostic ratios and principal 

component analysis, and the ecological risks were calculated using toxic equivalency 

concentrations of BaP and the incremental lifetime cancer risk(ILCR)model. Results 

indicated that the concentrations of &sum;PAHs in urban land, cultivated land, rural land 

and forest land were in the range of 184-18 276, 230-14 102, 151-3 205, 303-2 980 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Four land uses had similar sources, the main 

sources were coal combustion and traffic emission. According to the calculation of 

ecological risks, there were potential health risks for residents in Shenfu New City, 

especially urban land, meanwhile, residents were easily exposed to soil PAHs through 

dermal contact. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:High free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) is regarded as a main factor that inhibits 

biogas production in high solid anaerobic digestion systems with dewatered sludge. Two 

mesophilic semi-continuous anaerobic digesters fed with dewatered sludge (input total 

solids=15%) were operated and their performance under different FAN concentrations by two 

regulation methods including pH reduction and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) promotion were 

investigated. Results showed that when FAN was elevated from (400&plusmn;174) 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to (526&plusmn;25) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with the increase of 

TAN, the daily biogas yield declined from (11.9&plusmn;0.3) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>to 

(10.3&plusmn;0.2) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, volatile solids (VS) reduction rate 

decreased by 33.7%. When FAN dropped from (330&plusmn;99) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

(47&plusmn;13) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>due to pH reduction, daily biogas yield declined 

from (14.4&plusmn;1.1) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>to (10.8&plusmn;0.3) L&middot;d<sup>-

1</sup>and VS reduction rate decreased by 26.9%. The system performance was not enhanced 

with the reduction of FAN. With the stop of pH regulation, FAN gradually raised again to 

300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and digester performance recovered to the same as the 

situation before regulation. The result suggested that inhibition occurred during pH 

reduction. By 16S rRNA pyrosequencing analysis on bacterial and archaeal diversity and 

quantitative PCR analysis aiming at methanogens, it was found that bacterial community 

structure both changed obviously with obvious performance decline in the two digesters. 

Excessive FAN (&gt;500 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) could change the main bacteria species 

which degrade protein from Tepidimicrobium and Proteiniborus to Anaerobranca. On the 

other hand, some carbohydrate and protein degrading bacteria were also inhibited by pH 

reduction for FAN control, leading to the decline of hydrolysis rates of organic matters. 

As a result, the shortage of substrate supply for the methanogens weakened the biogas 

production of the digestion system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A bacterium strain LW26 which could utilize chlorobenzene (CB) as sole carbon 

and energy source was isolated from a biotrickling filter reactor treating CB-

contaminated off-gas. Based on its morphological and physiological characteristics, as 

well as the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence and Biolog test, the strain LW26 was 

identified as Delftia tsuruhatensis. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that the 

strain Delftia tsuruhatensis was applied for CB purification. In this study, the effects 

of temperature, pH, initial CB concentration and Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration on the 

biodegradation were investigated. The results showed that the optimal temperature and pH 

for CB biodegradation were 25&#8451; and 7.0, respectively; the maximum CB tolerated 

concentration for LW26 was as high as 500 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; when the 

concentration of Cl<sup>-</sup>was above 0.14 mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the CB 

degradation was significantly restrained. The degrading process of the strain LW26 

followed the Haldane kinetic model and the maximum specific growth rate and the maximum 

specific degradation rate were 0.42 h<sup>-1</sup>and 2.53 h<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively.GC-MS analysis of the metabolites revealed that CB was firstly converted to 

o-chlorophenol by strain LW26. Combined with the activity of catechol dioxygenase, it can 

be speculated that CB was finally mineralized to CO<inf>2</inf>, or converted to cell 

biomass after processes of ortho cleavage, dechlorination and oxidation. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Stable carbon isotope of dissolved inorganic carbon 

(&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>), which is mainly constituted by 

HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in karst water, is widely used to trace the different sources 

and influential factors of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). In order to understand the 

distribution of DIC and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>in subtropical karst area, 

this paper researched the water chemistry and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>in a 

karst surface stream in detail, which is fed by Guancun subterranean stream in Liuzhou 

City, Guangxi Province, in the southwest of China. The results showed that the contents 

of DIC in subterranean stream outlet (G1 site) ranged from 4.60 to 4.90 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 4.73 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in dry 

season, and from 2.80 to 4.70 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 4.23

Abstract:As one of the main atmospheric pollutants over surface layer, researches on the 

increasing surface ozone concentration and its impact on main crops have become the focus 

of every government and the public. In this paper, based on the observations in Nanjing 

using the main local cultivars in China's major winter wheat producing areas, it was 

expected to obtain the data including ozone concentration, meteorological data and 

stomatal conductance by continuous observation. Stomatal conductance model was used and 

parameterized, combined with flux model, we analyzed the characteristics of stomatal flux 

in winter wheat under ozone pollution. At the same time, the stomatal conductance and 

stomatal ozone absorption flux of winter wheat were simulated in Jiangsu Province. The 

main results were as follows: Elevated ozone concentration could reduce stomatal 

conductance of winter wheat leaf and stomatal conductance decreased with the increase of 

ozone concentration. According to the observational data through the experiment, based on 

the boundary line technology, stomatal conductance model was parameterized to simulate 

stomatal conductance of wheat leaves from environmental factors. Approximately 90%, 77% 

and 83% variation of measured stomatal conductance could be explained by the stomatal 

conductance model. In the experiment, the total ozone absorption flux in ozone 

concentration of CK(53.67 nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), 100nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

150nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>was 6.42 mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 12.27 

mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 13.90 mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>respectively. The ozone 

concentration gradually increased from early period to late period during the period of 

winter wheat growth in Jiangsu area. The average stomatal conductance followed the order 

of the middle stage&gt;the later stage&gt;the early stage. Winter wheat ozone cumulative 

absorption flux was the highest during the middle stage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Organics, sulfide and nitrogen compounds in industrial wastewater are 

significant challenges for wastewater treatment. These pollutants could be removed 

simultaneously from wastewater treatment system using biological technologies. In this 

study, a heterotrophic denitrifying sulfur bacterial strain HDD1 was isolated from 

wastewater treatment bioreactor. Strain HDD1 was identified as Thauera sp. based on the 

16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and physiological characteristics. Acetate and 

sulfide could be utilized as electron donors and nitrate as electron acceptor for 

respiration in Thauera sp. HDD1. The acetate (300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), sulfide (200 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and nitrate (487 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) were completely 

metabolized and removed within 15 hours. The main product of sulfide oxidation was 

elemental sulfur as identified by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive 

spectrometer. These results suggest that the newly isolated Thauera sp. HDD1 could be 

used for simultaneous industrial wastewater treatment and elemental sulfur resource 

recovery. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Vegetable is an indispensible component of human daily diet, and contamination 

of vegetables by heavy metals directly threatens human health. In this study, 116 

vegetable samples were collected from 12 administrative districts of Guangzhou City for 

analysis of six heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr. A combination of single factor 

evaluation and Nemero Index analysis was employed to determine specific heavy metals 

exceeding allowable standards and analyze the characteristics of pollution. Risk of 

exposure was utilized to assess human health risks originating from eating locally 

planted vegetables contaminated by heavy metals. The results showed that contents of Cu, 

Zn in the 8 sorts of vegetables were below the standards of maximum allowable content and 

the contents of heavy mental Cr of up to 91.67% vegetable samples were higher than their 

standard. Lettuce sativa var. angustana Irish, Luffa acutangula L., Lycopersicon 

esculentum Mill. and Daucus carota L. were the 4 species of Pb exceeding vegetables, with 

the exceed ratio reaching up to 35.71% and Daucus carota L. exceeded the target value 

most seriously. Only the content of Cd in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. was over-

standard,with the rate of 31.25%. And the highest rate of over-standard of the content of 

Ni in 3 species of vegetables, which included Lactuca sativa L., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk 

and Brassica parachinensis, reached 8.33%. For the contamination level of the eight kinds 

of vegetable, Lactuca sativa L., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk, Brassica parachinensis, Raphanus 

sativus L. and Daucus carota L. were put into the class of alarming, while Lettuce sativa 

var. angustana Irish, Luffa acutangula L. and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. were 

classified as secure. Heavy metals' comprehensive pollution degree of 4 species of 

vegetables presented a trend of leafy vegetables&gt;rootstalk vegetables&gt;stem 

vegetables&gt;solanaceous fruits. Health risk assessment showed that Guangzhou citizens 

eat more frequently Ipomoea aquatica Forsk and Lactuca sativa L. and Brassica 

parachinensis were prone to higher accumulation of heavy metals, and the dietary intake 

of heavy metal Cr might cause harm to human health and intake of Cd would bring potential 

health risk to the human body. Risk of exposure to heavy metal through oral ingestion of 

vegetables was proved to be higher for children than adults. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:In this paper, the generalized additive model (GAM) was introduced to analyze 

the interactive effects of the influencing factors on the change of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration during 2013-2015 in Nanjing city. The results showed as 

follows: PM<inf>2.5</inf>and its influencing factors appeared to follow normal 

distribution. There were strong correlations among the influencing factors, especially 

among the temperature(TEM), pressure(PRS) and water vapor pressure(VAP). For the single 

influencing factor GAM models of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, all influencing factors 

passed the significance test. Moreover, the equation fitting degrees of SO<inf>2</inf>, 

CO, and NO<inf>2</inf>were much higher. In the multiple influencing factors GAM models of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, the contribution of the SO<inf>2</inf>, CO, 

NO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, precipitation (PRE), wind and relative humidity(RHU) to 

the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration was 73.9% with significant impacts on the 

change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. Based on the diagnostic analysis of the effect 

of multi factors on the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, there were linear 

relationship between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>and wind, and 

non-linear relationship between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and CO, O<inf>3</inf>, PRE and RHU. The 

GAM models, which considered the interaction of SO<inf>2</inf>respectively with CO, PRE 

and RHU, the interaction of CO respectively with NO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, PRE, Wind 

and RHU, and the interaction of NO<inf>2</inf>respectively with Wind, PRE and RHU, all 

passed the significance test(P&lt;0.01 or P&lt;0.05). The interaction of SO<inf>2</inf>, 

CO and NO<inf>2</inf>respectively with other factors such as meteorological factors had 

the most important influence on the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. At last, 

through the visualized three-dimensional map of the GAM models considering the 

interaction of the influencing factors on the PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, the 

interactive effects of the influencing factors on PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration were 

quantitatively modeled. Our results demonstrated that GAM could be used to quantitatively 

analyze the interactive effect of the influencing factors on the change of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. Therefore, the research method is innovative and important 

for PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution and control. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The biodegradation characteristics of the azo disperse dye neocron black (NB) 

were investigated under aerobic, anaerobic and anaerobic/aerobic conditions separately 

with the activated sludge system, and the biological degradation process of the dye was 

analyzed by spectrophotometry and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The 

results showed that the degradation efficiency of NB dye was the highest under fully 

aerobic conditions, followed by the anaerobic/aerobic conditions, and fully anaerobic 

condition was the lowest. With the increase of the concentration of NB dye, the dye and 

the intermediate metabolite greatly decreased the microbial degradation efficiency of NB 

dye. The addition of carbon source could not only promote the biodegradation of NB dye, 

but also change the kinetic characteristics of the biodegradation process. The 

spectrophotometry and GC-MS determination results showed that the chromophore was 

completely degraded after biodegradation of NB dye. The intermediates metabolites of NB 

dye included 2,4-Dinitroaniline, 2-cyano-4-nitro aniline, p-Nitroaniline etc. &copy;

Abstract:Foulants responsible for hydraulic irreversible fouling in Dongjiang River water 

were identified by ultrafiltration process and their removal by powdered activated carbon 

(PAC) adsorption treatment was investigated using fluorescent excitation emission matrix 

and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). A correlation analysis was then carried out 

for samples between the maximum fluorescence intensities (F<inf>max</inf>) of three 

PARAFAC components after PAC adsorption and the surface properties of corresponding PAC 

samples. The results showed that two humic-like (C1 and C3) and one tryptophan-like 

fluorescent components were obtained through PARAFAC analysis, in which tryptophan-like 

component C2 was found to be the main substance in hydraulic irreversible foulants 

extracted from fouled membrane. Furthermore, the results of correlation analysis 

suggested that microspore area of PAC correlated with PAC adsorption of tryptophan-like 

fluorescent components, which played an important role in irreversible fouling. Both BET 

and mesopore+macropore area of PAC correlated with its adsorption of humic-like 

fluorescent components. The result provided support for selecting PAC in PAC-

ultrafiltration hybrid process, which would be more effective for fouling control. &copy;

Abstract:Water quality is the key problem that water management departments concern. 

Water quality of Beijing segment of South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project 

is closely related to water security and social stability in Beijing. Since the 

connection of Beijing part in Middle Route of South-to-North Diversion Project, water 

quality data of Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank was 

collected, and water quality indexes including water temperature, total nitrogen, nitrate 

nitrogen, chloride ion, sulfate, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, pH, ammonia 

nitrogen, fluorine ion and total phosphorus, were monitored monthly. With variance 

analysis, water quality difference among different water sources of the South-to-North 

Water Diversion of Middle Route was analyzed. With factor analysis method, the water 

quality risk factors of Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank 

were identified. The results were as following, water from Hebei province had higher 

contents of nitrate nitrogen, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, chloride ion and sulfate than 

those of water from Danjiangkou reservoir, but the water quality was not as good as that 

from Danjiangkou reservoir. LSD difference test results showed that the dissolved oxygen, 

nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen of the water from Hebei province had significant 

differences (P&lt;0.05) between flood season and non-flood season, there was significant 

difference (P&lt;0.05) in pH of water from Danjiangkou reservoir between flood season and 

non-flood season, and the water quality of Danjiangkou reservoir was more stable than 

water from Heibei province. No matter in flood season or non-flood season, there were no 

significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in pH, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, total 

phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen between the water from Danjiangkou reservoir and Heibei 

province, but there were significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in nitrate nitrogen, total 

nitrogen, fluorine ion and sulfate ion and chloride ion. Contents of Nitrate nitrogen, 

total nitrogen, sulfate and chloride ion in 2015 (the mixture of water from Hebei 

province and Danjiangkou reservoir) in Daning regulation and storage reservoir were lower 

than those in 2012-2014 (water from Hebei province), and the water from Danjiangkou 

reservoir played a key role in dilution and adjustment of the water from Hebei province 

in Daning regulation and storage reservoir. The water quality differences test results 

between 2012-2014 and 2015 showed that there were significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in 

the nitrate nitrogen, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ion both in 

flood season and non-flood season, and the water quality of 2015 was better than that of 

2012~2014 in non-flood season, but the differences of pH, dissolved oxygen, permanganate 

index, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen were not obvious (P&lt;0.05). The difference 

test results between Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank showed 

that Permanganate index, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ion had 

significant differences (P&lt;0.05) both in flood season and non-flood season, and the 

contents of permanganate index, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ions in Daning 

regulation and storage reservoir were higher than those in Daning surge tank. The factor 

analysis results indicated that water quality potential risk factors both in Daning 

regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank were mainly nitrogen, including 

ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen, and potential risk factors also 

included total phosphorus in Daning regulation and storage reservoir. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:This study conducted a full two-year (2014 and 2015) measurements of dry and 

bulk deposition of atmospheric inorganic nitrogen (N) at the suburb of Xining city, 

Qinghai province. Dry N deposition fluxes were calculated by multiplying the atmospheric 

concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>measured using passive samplers with 

the modeled dry deposition velocities provided by the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport 

model, while bulk N deposition fluxes were measured using precipitation gauge. Annual 

mean concentrations of gaseous NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>averaged 8.8 and 19.6 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively, with significantly higher values in 2015 than 

in 2014. Seasonal mean NH<inf>3</inf>concentrations were higher in spring and summer than 

in autumn and winter, but the concentrations of NO<inf>2</inf>changed little from season 

to season, with a small peak in autumn. Annual mean concentrations of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in precipitation averaged 

2.2 and 1.8 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Concentrations of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N in autumn were~55% lower than those in other seasons, 

whereas those of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in autumn or winter were~26% higher than 

those in spring and summer. Dry deposition of NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>was 9.0 and 

2.8 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Bulk deposition of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in precipitation was 7.6 

and 6.2 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Reduced N 

(gaseous NH<inf>3</inf>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N in precipitation) was the 

dominant form of N deposition. The total dry and wet N deposition was 25.6 kg&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, which represented significant nutrient input from 

the environment to the suburban farmland, but this amount of deposited N exceeded the 

critical loads [10-20 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>] of terrestrial 

ecosystems, suggesting a risk of &ldquo;N saturation&rdquo; in the local natural 

environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A short-cut nitrification process with modified polyethylene as carrier was 

operated to investigate the biofilm short-cut nitrification recovery using synthetic 

inorganic ammonia-rich wastewater as influent at 30&#8451; &plusmn;1&#8451;. The short-

cut nitrification was destroyed first by excessive aeration, and it was not built in 83 

days under the condition of continuous aeration with DO less than 0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and free ammonia (FA) more than 1.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which are very 

beneficial to short-cut nitrification. However, short-cut nitrification was realized by 

changing continuous aeration to intermittent aeration on 84<sup>th</sup>day, and it was 

proved again on 142nd day. After that, biofilm system provided a living environment for 

ANAMMOX bacteria, anaerobic ammonia oxidation occurred, and the biofilm short-cut 

nitrification process was gradually transformed into CANON process. As the load of 

influent and aeration increased, the total nitrogen removal efficiency and removal load 

increased, and the total nitrogen removal load could reach up to 2.52 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. Finally, in the 3rd stage, 

&Delta;NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N/&Delta;TN was 0.10 on average, which means stabe 

short-cut nitrification in the CANON process. Therefore, once NOB was adapted to FA, it 

would be not very easy to recover short-cut nitrification, while intermittent aeration 

was an effective way, and the nitriation process would be finally transformed into CANON 

process, which would further improve the short-cut nitrification stability. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:UV activated sodium persulfate was employed to remove triclosan (TCS) in aqueous 

solution. The effects of several factors such as UV wavelength, 

UV<inf>254</inf>intensity, sodium persulfate dosage, pH value, and HA on TCS degradation 

were investigated. The second-order rate constants of free radicals (&middot;OH, 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>) reacting with TCS and their contributions to TCS 

removal were determined, respectively. The dominant free radical was also identified. 

Furthermore, the TCS degradation efficiency in natural water by UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS and 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was compared. Finally, the possible pathway 

and intermediate products of TCS degradation were analyzed with GC/MS. The results 

indicated that UV<inf>254</inf>activated sodium persulfate could effectively remove TCS. 

The removal rate of TCS could reach 98.15% within 100s under the conditions of UV 

wavelength of 254 nm,UV intensity of 11.5&mu;W&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>,sodium persulfate 

dosage of 1mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>,and TCS initial concentration of 275 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. TCS degradation followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic 

model and the pseudo-first-order rate constant was determined to be 0.039 2 s<sup>-

1</sup>. Pseudo-first-order rate constant for TCS degradation increased with the increase 

of UV<inf>254</inf>intensity(I)and sodium persulfate dosage within experiment ranges. The 

effect of UV wavelength on TCS removal was not notable. Neutral condition was detrimental 

to TCS degradation. TCS removal was inhibited in the presence of HA. The reaction rate 

constants for &middot;OH and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>reacting with TCS were 

7.62&times;10<sup>9</sup>L&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>and 

9.86&times;10<sup>9</sup>L&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>,respectively. 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>was the dominant free radical and its contribution rate 

to TCS removal was 97.63% in UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS system. The K value of 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS was 4.13 times higher than that of 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>process,which demonstrated that 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS process could remove TCS more effectively than 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>. The main intermediate products found were 

2,4-DCP and phenol in the degradation process of TCS in Milli-Q water by 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Targeting at the characteristics of low concentration but high risk of endocrine 

disrupting compounds in the aquatic environment, the current study investigated the 

distribution of estrogenicity and E2 level using recombinant yeast estrogen screen (YES) 

and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELSIA) during domestic wastewater treatment 

processes. The results showed that the levels of estrogenicity and E2 in influents of 

wastewater treatment plants were 4.35-7.58 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 36.95-83.43 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. It was found that biological treatment processes 

played a crucial role in the removal of estrogenicity and E2, such as oxidation ditch, 

A<sup>2</sup>/O and A<sup>2</sup>/O followed by MBR, where the removal of estrogenicity 

and E2 was 71.10%-75.54% and 75.88%-80.72%, respectively. The activated sludge, with an 

estrogencity level of 1.84-2.43 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an E2 level of 8.45-12.84 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, had the function of eliminating estrogenic effect to a certain 

extent by adsorption. The estrogenic activity in the effluent of domestic wastewater was 

1.06-2.19 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which will pose potential risk to the aquatic life in 

the environment. Last but not least, ELISA had a good correlation with YES assay, which 

provides a new method for rapid screening and assessment of water environmental estrogen.

Abstract:The alleviation effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on Ni toxicity in rice 

seedings was investigated. The results showed that low concentration of Ni stress (10, 50 

&mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) had little effect on the growth of root of rice seedings, 

while higher concentration of Ni stress (100-1 000 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) 

significantly inhibited the growth of rice root. Compared with the control treatment, the 

addition of 100 and 1 000 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni would decrease the total length 

and surface area of root by 63.3%-98.0% and 56.9%-96.3%, respectively. The results showed 

that addition of exogenous melatonin had a positive effect on the growth of rice seedings 

under Ni stress. This kind of positive effect was even more obvious in the root of rice 

seedings. The total length of rice root decreased by 58.4%-83.8% at Ni concentration of 

100 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, whereas it decreased by only 8.7%-29.1% when 100 

&mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni and 10 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>MT were added, 

compared with the control treatment. The addition of exogenous melatonin had significant 

alleviation effects on oxidative stress in rice seedings caused by Ni. Compared with the 

100 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni treatment, addition of 10 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>exogenous MT could significantly decrease the production rate of 

O<inf>2</inf><sup>-&middot;</sup>by 43.2%-50.2% and the relative electrolytic leakage by 

25.7%-31.6%, whereas increase the activities of CAT by 21.9%-33.7% and the soluble 

protein content by 82.6%-84.6%. The results suggested that application of exogenous 

melatonin could effectively alleviate the toxic effects of Ni on rice seedings. &copy;

Abstract:Wastewater treatment plants treating industrial wastewater and municipal 

wastewater may suffer from unexpected shock loads of high ammonia concentrations, which 

can lead to inhibition of biological nitrification and failure to meet the wastewater 

discharge standards. In order to solve the problem of failure to meet the standards, the 

effects of high loadings of free ammonia (FA) on the nitrification process were 

investigated in this work using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). For such purpose, 

maximum specific degradation rates of ammonia, maximum specific formation rates of 

nitrate, specific oxygen uptake rates and abundances of nitrifying bacteria were 

monitored. The results showed that FA promoted nitrification activities at low 

concentrations and inhibited the activities when the FA concentration exceeded a certain 

value. In addition, high loading concentrations of FA resulted in long recovery times. 

When the FA concentration increased from 3.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 8.1 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the abundances of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) increased slightly, as shown by the fluorescence in situ 

hybridization tests. However, there were apparent decreases in the abundances of AOB and 

NOB when the concentration of FA was higher than 8.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The 

critical FA inhibitory concentrations for AOB and NOB were 8.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and 6.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. It was found that the NOB flora were more 

sensitive than AOB to FA inhibition. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a main ingredient of brominated flame 

retardants, has drawn more and more attention because of the pollution it caused in 

sediment. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to investigate the impact of 

Brevibacillus brevis and Enterococcus casselifavus on the enhancement of phytoremediation 

by Thalia dealbata, which is common in the river bank and was found to be an effective 

plant for BDE-209 removal. The concentration of organic acids, the amount of 

microorganisms and the ability of carbon utilization of soil microorganisms in different 

experimental groups were analyzed. The results showed that the removal rate of BDE-209 in 

the exogenous microbes containing groups were higher than that of the control. And B. 

brevis presented the highest enhancement of phytoremediation with the removal rate rising 

highest to 66% compared with the control (non-rhizosphere group 37.93% and no plant group 

39.27%) after 60 days. The removal of BDE-209 in sediment, quantity of microorganism, 

concentration of organic acids and the ability of carbon utilization of soil 

microorganisms in rhizosphere sediment were higher than those in non-rhizosphere 

sediment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples of four seasons were collected from Nov. 2014 to Aug. 

2015 at the site of Shengsi island in Zhoushan islands. Mercury (Hg) and speciated 

mercury concentrations in PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were measured by Atomic Fluorescence 

Spectrometry (AFS-9130, China) after digestion with CEM Mars Xpress (PyNN Corporation, 

USA). The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were determined by thermal/optical carbon analyzer (DRI, USA). 

The results showed that the daily concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>-bounded mercury 

(PBM) ranged from 0.02 to 1.25 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Moreover, the mass content of 

PBM was (12.46&plusmn;18.79) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which was higher than those in 

continental cities. ANOVA analysis result suggested that the highest average mass 

concentrations of PBM occurred in fall, sequentially followed by spring, winter and 

summer. Higher concentrations of PBM were in fall and spring, which might be related to 

biomass burning. In addition, RPM took the highest fraction of 53.1% in PBM, followed by 

HPM (27.3%) and EPM (19.7%), which might be resulted from the complicated composition of 

marine aerosols. The strong correlations among OC, EC and PBM indicated that carbonaceous 

composition may affect the transport of Hg in the atmosphere. The ratio of OC/EC 

represents atmospheric photo-oxidation capacity, so the positive correlation between 

OC/EC ratio and HPM indicated that HPM was resulted from atmospheric gas-particle 

transformation. The negative correlation between Char-EC/soot-EC and mercury species 

indicated that the atmospheric particle-bounded mercury might come mainly from the input 

of external mercury sources. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Four typical coal-fired power plants in Chongqing, representing two different 

boiler types (circulating fluidized bed boiler and pulverized coal boiler), were chosen 

to investigate mercury emission characteristics through a mercury mass balance method by 

analyzing mercury contents in all input and output raw materials in order to accurately 

estimate mercury emissions. The results showed coal with mercury concentrations ranging 

(80.77&plusmn;6.39)-(266.83&plusmn;4.71) &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>could be a 

significant contributor of input mercury in these four studied power plants. Most mercury 

output from these power plants entered into solid waste with high proportion of mercury 

entering the fly ash in CFB plants and entering the fly ash and desulfurization gypsum in 

PC plants. Mercury removal efficiencies of studied plants were in the range of 72.89%-

96.05%, and these efficiencies in CFB plants were higher than those in PC plants. The 

mercury emission factors for EF<inf>electricity</inf>and EF<inf>coal</inf>of these four 

plants were 4.66-29.47 &mu;g&middot;(kW&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 8.55-71.77 

mg&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The mercury emission was also calculated to be 

6.13-429.17 g&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>. Mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants were 

associated with the content of mercury in coal, boiler type, generation load, pollution 

control equipment, and so on. To control the mercury emissions, more attention should be 

paid to improving the generation load, increasing the mercury removal efficiency of flue 

gas cleaning equipment, and strengthening the supervision of solid waste re-utilization.

Abstract:To reveal the effect of coupling process of wetting-drying and seasonal 

temperature on sediment nitrogen (N) minerization, surface sediment samples were 

collected from the water level fluctuating zone(WLFZ) of Pengxi River crossing two 

hydrological sections. The sediment samples were incubated under drying and submerging 

conditions at the controlled temperature. The result showed that NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N and sand% in the sediment of higher altitude of water level (170 m) were higher 

than those in low altitudes (150 and 160 m), whereas contents of TN, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and clay% and silt% in low altitudes were much higher. Generally, Net N 

mineralization rate and cumulation were lower in higher altitude of water level during 

the drying period and submerging period. The ammonification rate decreased rapidly at the 

initial stage of incubation (0-7 d), and then had no obvious change, and no significant 

differences among altitudes was observed. The nitrification rate at low altitude 

decreased with incubation time, while it had only a little change at higher altitude; The 

nitrification contributed a higher fraction of net N mineralization than ammonification. 

Net N mineralization rate and its cumulation were significantly higher in the drying 

period than in the submerging period, while net N mineralization rate decreased with 

incubation time at all altitudes. Net N mineralization cumulation tended to rise first 

and then declined at all altitudes of the drying period, whereas it was continuously 

decreasing at the low water level altitude during the submerging period. Net N nitrogen 

mineralization rate of the drying period was positively correlate to both the sediment 

organic matter content and its C&#8758;N ratio, while it showed a negative correlation in 

the submerging period(P&lt;0.001). Net N mineralization was sensitive to temperature 

increase (Q<inf>10</inf>&gt;1) in the drying period, while it was insensitive during the 

submerging period of low altitude (Q<inf>10</inf>&lt;1). Thus, the impact of temperature 

on Net N mineralization was relatively low in submerging period of winter and N was 

accumulated with low releasing rate. In contrast to winter, summer exhibited warmer and 

drying period, this two factors would lead to higher N mineralization rate and further 

induce the potential risk of eutrophication as N releasing into water body. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere of the north suburb of 

Nanjing in December 2015 were determined by GC5000 online gas chromatography, and the 

main composition and characteristics of VOCs were analyzed by using the PMF receptor 

model sources of VOCs parsing. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

human exposure analysis and evaluation method in the United States were used to evaluate 

Human health risk of benzene series. The results showed that there were 6 sources in the 

PMF mode. Natural gas leakage accounted for 32.05%, automobile exhaust accounted for 

18.99%, solvent use 13.67%, industrial emissions 2 13.20%, gasoline volatile 11.72%, and 

industrial emissions 1 (chemical type) 10.36%. The high value areas of the emission 

source were in accordance with the location of pollution sources surrounding the 

observation point. The B/T ratio was 0.74, which was at a relatively high level.The 

noncarcinogenic risk hazard quotient value HQ at 06:00 reached the highest value. HQ risk 

values were within the safe range specified by EPA. HQ of each source was as follows: 

automobile exhaust emissions 20.67&times;10<sup>-2</sup>, solvent use 

6.97&times;10<sup>-2</sup>, natural gas leakage 6.34&times;10<sup>-2</sup>. In the 

carcinogenic risk of benzene, automobile exhaust emissions was 4.11&times;10<sup>-

6</sup>, and natural gas leakage was 1.09&times;10<sup>-6</sup>, both were higher than 

the EPA specified safety threshold. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:8 surface sediments and 8 water samples were collected from the Daye Lake in 

August 2015. The 16 kinds of EPA control polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were 

analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the PAHs concentrations of surface sediments 

and water ranged from 35.94 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 2 032.73 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>and from 27.94 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 242.95 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with 

average contents of 940.61 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 107.77ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The distribution of PAHs in surface sediments indicated that the contents 

in the center samples were higher than those in the bank samples, but the water showed 

nearly the opposite tendency. The 4-5 rings high molecular weight PAHs were the main 

components in the surface sediments, and the 2, 4 and 5 rings PAHs were given priority in 

water. Compared with the other domestic and oversea lakes, the PAHs pollution of the Daye 

Lake was at a moderate level. Source apportionment showed that the PAHs in surface 

sediments and water from the Daye Lake came from the combustion source, HWM-PAHs were the 

dominant part of the PAHs in the sediment, reflecting the sediment PAHs pollution under 

the effects of mining and smelting over a long period; All monomer PAHs and total PAHs 

content in sediment did not exceed the ERM and FEL limiting values, showing that there 

was no particularly serious ecological risk caused by PAHs in the surface sediments from 

the Daye Lake; the incremental lifetime cancer risks assessment showed that the uptake 

risk of PAHs in Daye Lake water through the ingestion and dermal absorption were both in 

the acceptable range recommended by the USEPA, but all sites had higher risk than the 

acceptable risk level recommended by the Sweden environmental protection agency and Royal 

society. The pollution of seven carcinogenic PAHs needs prevention and control. &copy;

Abstract:In December 2013, a lasting haze pollution event occurred in the Central and 

East regions of China. Here in this paper, using a single-particle soot photometer (SP2), 

we studied mass concentrations, mixing states, and size distributions of black carbon 

(BC) in this event. The results showed that BC mass concentration in Nanjing during the 

observation period was in the range of 1.01-14.05 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>with an 

average of 4.39 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, showing the characteristics of double peaks 

for lighter pollution, andhigh in the nighttime and low in the daytime during heavier 

pollution. Using the relative coating thickness(D<inf>p</inf>/D<inf>c</inf>)to define 

mixing state of black carbon, diurnal variations were higher in early morning and noon 

when slightly polluted, and lower during rush hour, indicating the degree of BC ageing 

was deeper in the morning and afternoon, with fresher particles near the ground source 

emissions during rush hour. The relative coating thickness did not vary greatly 

throughout the day when heavily polluted, which was expected to be linked to regional 

pollutants and it also showed Gas-solid transformation under high relative humidity. The 

average mass and number size distribution had single peaking with the same BC volume-

equivalent diameter in different degrees of pollution, with the peak diameter at 100 nm 

for the number distribution when heavily polluted, at 91 nm when slightly polluted, and 

at 210 nm for the mass distribution regardless of the degree of pollution. We could find 

regional differences of BC sources by comparing the observed research worldwide. This 

study has very important reference value for the in-depth understanding of BC pollution 

in Yangtze River Delta. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the distribution characteristics of organophosphorus 

pesticides (OPPs)in the soil of Jianghan plain,78 profile-soil samples from various depth 

and 7 surface-soil samples were collected in September,2015 in established groundwater 

monitoring field site, Jianghan plain. The OPPs concentrations were determined by gas 

chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detector(GC-NPD). The results showed that OPPs 

were widespread in our studied area. The OPPs concentrations of suface-soil samples 

ranged from 89.80 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 193.85 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>,with an 

average of 140.05 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, whereas the OPPs concentrations of profile-

soil samples ranged from 19.81 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 138.28 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>,with an average of 40.99 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The main ingredients of OPPs 

in surface and profile soil samples were methamidophos, omethoate, diazinon and 

quinalphos,and the residual amount of 10 kinds of OPPs had posed a threat to agricultural 

products according to the America soil pesticide residue limits standards. The horizontal 

distribution of OPPs concentration in profile soil followed the order of nearby river 

farm area&gt;nearby river area&gt;farm area, namely GS1-1&gt;GS4&gt;GS2&gt;GS3. while the 

vertical distribution mostly decreased at first and then increased with increasing depth. 

The distribution characteristics of OPPs were also influenced by many factors, such as 

application amount of OPPs, the adsorption and desorption actions of soil, vertical 

movement of groundwater, the terrain environment in the study area, and the concentration 

of soil organic matters. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study aimed to identify the function of polyphosphate kinase gene (ppk) in 

phosphorus removal. With the Red system, the target DNA with the homologous short arms 

was amplified in the plasmid pKD4. Then the target DNA was transformed into E. coli 

ATCC25922 which already had the suicide plasmid pKD46 by electroporation. The plasmid 

pCP20 was transformed into the recombinant strains to delete the kanamycin resistance 

gene. With the screening by negative resistance, together with verification using 

positive and negative primers, the construction of ppk gene deletion strain E. 

coli/ppk<sup>-</sup>Kan<sup>-</sup>was confirmed. The growth characteristics of both the 

wild-type strain and the mutant strain were determined, and the phosphate accumulating 

characteristics were compared when cultured in the phosphate luxuriant medium after 

induced in the phosphate lacking medium. Also the phosphate accumulating characteristics 

of the two strains were compared after cultured in the anaerobic and aerobic alternating 

conditions for 5 times. The results showed that the ppk deletion strain E. 

coli/ppk<sup>-</sup>Kan<sup>-</sup>was successfully constructed. There was no growth 

difference between the mutant strain and the wild-type strain. But in the first 4 hours 

of log phase, the mutant strain grew faster than the wild-type strain. And 8h later, when 

both strains were in stationary phase, the mutant strain grew slower than the wild type, 

indicating that ppk affected the growth of the bacteria. Cultured in the phosphate 

lacking medium and the phosphate luxuriant medium, the mutant strain's ability of 

phosphate accumulating didn't decrease in spite of having no ppk gene. After 5 times 

induction, the amounts of phosphorus in both strains were about 1%-2%. The phosphate 

amounts in the cells did not increase with increasing inducing times. Polyphosphate or 

PHB was detected neither at anaerobic phase nor at the aerobic phase. It indicated that 

the deletion of ppk did not affect the phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment 

process, and the ppk gene did not show the function of phosphorus removal. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The objective of this experiment was to investigate the influence of 

SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>dosage, pH value, initial perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS)

concentration as well as coexisting substances on the degradation and defluorination of 

PFOS by VUV-SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>process. The results indicated that the increase 

of SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>dosage could lead to rise in the concentration of active 

species hydrated electron(e<inf>aq</inf><sup>-</sup>) and thus enhance the degradation 

and defluorination of PFOS. As the concentration of SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>increased 

from 1 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 20 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the degradation and 

defluorination rates of PFOS increased from 45% and 40% to 97% and 63%, respectively. The 

degradation and defluorination of PFOS were also enhanced with the increment of the 

solution pH values, and the defluorination was more sensitive to the pH values. In 

addition, more PFOS was degraded with the increase of initial PFOS mass concentration, 

although the degradation and defluorination rates of PFOS were reduced. When the initial 

PFOS mass concentration changed from 1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, the degradation amount of PFOS after four hrs increased by about 50 times, 

probably due to the higher utilization proportion of e<inf>aq</inf><sup>-</sup>at high 

pollutants concentration. Last but not least, the influence of co-existing substances, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>and HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, on PFOS degradation could be neglected, 

whereas their effects on defluorination were observed. Defluorination of PFOS was 

enhanced with the increased Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration, however, increased first and 

then decreased with the increment of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>concentration. It was 

also found that the presence of humic acid(HA) lowered degradation as well as 

defluorination of PFOS owing to the blockage of effective UV light and trapping of active 

species for photochemical reaction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The contents of 8 heavy metal elements (Sr, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn) and the 

lead &amp; strontium isotope composition of soil profile of woodland in Quanzhou city 

were analyzed by AAS and ICP-MS, respectively. A modified BCR four-step sequential 

extraction procedure was carried out to obtain the speciation fractionation of heavy 

metals in the soil profile from 4 stations. The results of the heavy metal elements and 

the speciation fractionation of heavy metals in the soil profile showed that the heavy 

metal pollution in the woodland in Quanzhou was relatively light, and the main pollution 

factor was Sr. The non-residue state of Pb was the highest, leading to the highest 

activity. The result of Nemero comprehensive pollution index showed that Sr in the depth 

of 0-60 cm was at heavy pollution level. The results of the RSP showed that the activity 

of Pb was the highest. The results of EF showed that Pb, Sr, Mn and Zn had exogenous 

sources. Factor analysis showed that the main sources of heavy metals were the compound 

pollution of agricultural activities, natural resources, and the vehicle exhaust. 

Composition of Pb isotopic ratios showed that, Pb in soil profile of woodland in Quanzhou 

was from vehicle exhaust and parent material. The contribution rates of the two sources 

in the soil profile were calculated by using the two-mixed model. The contribution rates 

of parent material and vehicle exhaust were 85.14%(62.53%-98.36%) and 14.86%(1.640%-

37.47%) on average, respectively. Strontium isotope tracing results showed that the main 

sources of strontium were also vehicle exhaust and parent material. Coupling both Pb and 

Sr isotope ratios agreed with the above mentioned results. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Effect of application of sewage sludge compost on the emission of greenhouse gas 

from soil was investigated by analyzing the dynamic characteristics and emission factor 

of CO<inf>2</inf>, CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O in soil after spiking two different 

composts (A: compost with biochar, B: compost without biochar) with varying fertilizing 

amount into soil. The results indicated that emissions of CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>mainly occurred in the plant growth period with low fertilizer amount of 

biomass charcoal compost reducing CO<inf>2</inf>emissions, and high application content 

increasing CO<inf>2</inf>emissions. CH<inf>4</inf>emission fluxes showed negative values, 

indicating that soil could adsorb CH<inf>4</inf>, and the adsorbing amount for control 

was significantly higher than those for other treatments (P&lt;0.01). The absorbing 

amount in treatment A increased with the fertilizing amount (P&lt;0.05). N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions mainly occurred at the germination and seedling stages, and emission fluxes 

increased with the fertilizing amount (P&lt;0.01). N<inf>2</inf>O was considered as the 

main generated greenhouse gas during agricultural process with sludge compost, and its 

emission factor from sludge compost soil was 1.02%-1.90% (A compost) and 1.28%-2.93% (B 

compost), respectively. Biochar could significantly reduce the carbon emission, as the 

total greenhouse gas released from soil with biochar compost was 19.49% to 35.56% less 

than that in soil without biochar, which was more obvious for N<inf>2</inf>O emission 

reduction (compared with CH<inf>4</inf>mitigation). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Biochar application to soils is currently considered as a means of mitigating 

climate change by sequestering C, which withdraws CO<inf>2</inf>from the atmosphere and 

consequently influences the trend of global climate change. However, only a few studies 

have been done on surface albedo variations on farmland, it might be true that the 

application of biochar to soil could induce a radiative forcing by changing the surface 

albedo. Based on this background, this study aiming at the characterization of seasonal 

changes in albedo on the farmland both with plants and without plants, and its effect on 

soil temperature, soil moisture, soil respiration and soil organic carbon fractions. 

There were 3 major treatments in the experiment with 3 repetition of each major 

treatment, namely, CK (the control treatment), BC0.5 (biochar applied at 0.5 kg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>) and BC4.5 (biochar applied at 4.5 kg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>). Each major treatment contained 2 sub-treatments, 

which were crop cultivation (+) and non-cultivation (-). The experiment results showed 

that in the early stage of crop growth (maize seedling stage to jointing stage, wheat 

seedling stage to winter period), the surface albedo of BC4.5+ and BC0.5+ significantly 

decreased compared with CK+(P&lt;0.05). The biggest surface albedo decline rates of 

BC4.5+ and BC0.5+ in winter wheat season were 23.7%, 17.9% and 44.5%, 44.9% in summer 

maize season. The leaf area index of each treatment was remarkably correlated with the 

surface albedo. The shadow produced by the development of crop canopy structure would 

cover the change of surface color induced by the input of biochar. Under the condition of 

bare land, the surface albedo of biochar treatment was significantly decreased compared 

with the control treatment(P&lt;0.05). Compared with the control treatments, the soil 

CO<inf>2</inf>flux of the biochar treatments was significantly increased(P&lt;0.05). With 

the extension of time, the growth rate of soil CO<inf>2</inf>flux of biochar treatment 

was decreased gradually. The increase from BC4.5+ to CK+ was gradually reduced from 

276.7% to 36.1%, and the increase of BC4.5- from to CK- was significantly reduced from 

163.5% to 39.8%. The increase of soil CO<inf>2</inf>flux could be derived from the 

mineralization of the readily decomposed carbon fractions in the biochar-soil system. The 

decrease of surface albedo caused by the input of biochar had no direct effect on soil 

respiration, and the input of biochar could reduce the temperature sensitivity of soil 

respiration. This result could provide a foundation for the verification of the chemical 

and biological stability of biochar. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sediment cores from Douhe reservoir in Tangshan City were sampled in August 

2013, in order to evaluate the mercury (Hg) pollution degree and its possible sources. 

Agriculture soils surrounding the Douhe reservoir and sediments from an upstream 

reservoir (Daheiting) were also collected. Total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), 

dissolved mercury in pore water (DHg) and organic matter (OM) in sediment of Douhe 

reservoir were analyzed, while, only THg in the agriculture soils and upstream reservoir 

sediments was determined. Finally, the geoaccumulation index method was applied to 

evaluate the Hg pollution status in soils and reservoir sediments. The results showed 

that THg content in sediment of Douhe reservoir ranged from 19 to 97 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>. dw, MeHg (dw) from 0.02 to 1.27 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and the contents of 

both THg and MeHg were higher in the upper layers than the deeper layers, indicating that 

Hg in sediments was increasing in recent years by the exogenetic loadings. THg (dw) in 

soils offshore the Douhe reservoir, which is close to a large coal-fired power plant, 

averaged at 22 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Among the three sediment cores of Douhe 

reservoir, the central point had the highest THg, followed by the western site, and the 

eastern site had the lowest THg. While, THg content (dw) in sediments of Daheiting 

reservoir was much higher, with a mean of 176 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Combining all the 

above information, we concluded that Hg in Douhe reservoir was mainly derived from the 

Daheiting reservoir and the mercury atmospheric deposition from the nearby coal-fired 

power plant contributed a less content. THg and MeHg in the sediments of Douhe reservoir 

were positively correlated with OM, indicating that OM in sediments had good ability of 

adsorbing THg and MeHg, and also played an important role in Hg methylation. The 

geoaccumulation index (I<inf>geo</inf>) showed that the Hg pollution status deceased in 

this order: central of Daheting, Daba of Daheting, central of Douhe, western of Douhe, 

eastern of Douhe, soils surrounding Douhe. Central and western sites in Douhe belonged to 

moderate pollution and the eastern site belonged to slight pollution. While, sediments of 

Daheiting reservoir, affected by the iron ore mining activities, were in the moderate and 

strong pollution status. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Fertilizer and water management are two key factors for rice growth. A better 

understanding of the carbon (C) cycling in paddy soil requires investigation into the 

input characteristics and distribution dynamics of photosynthesized carbon in rice-soil 

system. We grew rice (Zhongzao 39) in PVC pots and used the<sup>13</sup>C-

CO<inf>2</inf>continuous labeling method to quantify the allocation of photosynthesized 

carbon in rice-soil system under two regimes (Drying-rewetting vs. continuous watering) 

and N fertilization (250 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>vs. no addition). The results showed 

that nitrogen fertilizer application increased rice shoot biomass and the amount of C and 

N, but had no significant influence on rice root biomass. Thus, nitrogen fertilizer 

application decreased rice biomass root/shoot ratio significantly. Drying-rewetting with 

N fertilizer treatment resulted in higher total C and N amount by 22% and 33%, 

respectively, in the shoot, and by 36% and 44%, respectively in the root than continuous 

watering with nitrogen fertilizer treatment. These results indicated that nitrogen 

fertilizer application promoted the growth of rice shoot. Nitrogen fertilizer application 

significantly increased the<sup>13</sup>C content in rice shoot by 32%-83% over the 

control without N addition. Nitrogen fertilizer application also increased 

the<sup>13</sup>C recovery in rice shoot by 6%-32%, but decreased that in the root by 

18%-59%. Pertaining to water effect, drying-rewetting with N application increased the 

amount of<sup>13</sup>C in rice shoot and root. However, without N addition, the amount 

and the recovery of<sup>13</sup>C in shoot dropped by 10.3 mg&middot;pot<sup>-1</sup>and 

12%, respectively, compared with the continuous watering treatment. The root, on the 

other hand, recorded increases in both the amount and the recovery of<sup>13</sup>C by 

1.9 mg&middot;pot<sup>-1</sup>and 57%, respectively. Furthermore, the deposition of 

assimilated C into rhizosphere-soil increased by both the individual and the interactive 

effects of N fertilizer application and drying-rewetting treatment. Thus, combining N 

fertilizer and drying-rewetting water management led to more increased allocation and 

deposition of photosynthesized carbon in soil-rice system compared with combined 

continuous flooding and N application. This study was able to quantify the partitioning 

and allocation of rice photosynthesized carbon into different plant and soil pools under 

different water and N fertilizer treatments, and can serve as a useful guide for better 

water and nutrient management practices in paddy-rice production that can achieve both 

sustainable high yield and sequestration of more C within the paddy soil system. &copy;

Abstract:To illuminate the spatial distribution of bacterial aerosols produced by 

fountain, sprinkler test was conducted in this study. Escherichia coli NK5449 was used as 

the test strain, and bacterial aerosols were sampled by Anderson six-stage air sampler at 

different sites around the sprinkler. The concentration and particle size distribution of 

bacterial aerosols and the correlation between droplet diameter and bacterial aerosols 

concentration were analyzed. The results showed that the concentration of bacterial 

aerosols ranged from (38&plusmn;15) CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>to (676&plusmn;92) 

CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in the space of 0.75 m to 1.75 m from the ground and 0.5 m to 3 

m away from the sprinkler. The bacterial aerosol concentration decreased along with the 

increase of the height and the distance between the sampling site and the sprinkler, and 

had significant negative correlation with droplet diameter (P&lt;0.05). With the increase 

of the distance to sprinkler, the proportion of bacterial aerosol particles with size of 

larger than 4.7 &mu;m decreased at first and increased subsequently; while the proportion 

of bacterial aerosol particles with size between 2.1 and 4.7 &mu;m increased firstly and 

then decreased. The bacterial aerosol particles mainly existed in the part with size 

between 1.1 and 4.7 &mu;m at sampling sites more than 0.5 m away from the sprinkler. It 

indicated that bacterial aerosols with small size may be inhaled by people far away from 

the fountain, and the risk should not be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to accurately evaluate the comprehensive ecotoxicity of domestic 

wastewater and the toxicity reduction efficiency of different treatment processes, 

standardized assays focusing on Vibrio fischeri, SOS/umu test and yeast estrogen screen 

were applied. Simultaneously, male zebrafish was used to address the mode of action of 

endocrine disrupting effects of wastewater and reclaim water on aquatic life. Results of 

this study indicated that the influent was severely polluted: highly acute toxicity, 

genotoxicity and estrogenicity were observed. After the secondary biological treatment, 

the above toxicities were significantly reduced, making the water quality improved. 

However, the estrogencity of secondary effluent was detected at 1.89 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, which still posed potential risk on the aquatic life in receiving water. In 

addition, the up-regulation of estrogen receptor (esr1) and vitellogenin (vtg1) in the 

livers of zebrafish was observed after exposure to 2.5 times concentrated wastewaters, 

which demonstrated that wastewater modulates hormonal activities of aquatic life by 

disturbing target genes expression. Moreover, the slight down-regulation of esr1 was 

observed in the gonads. These observations reflect that the evaluation of biological 

toxic effect should be analyzed in different tissues or organs, so that more 

comprehensive information about the adverse effects of wastewaters on aquatic life can be 

obtained. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Biochemical methane potential experiments were conducted to investigate the 

effects of organic loading rate on the performance of anaerobic digesters with vinegar 

residues. According to the comparisons of methane production and liquid phase 

compositions, as well as thermogravimetry, X-ray Diffraction and infrared spectroscopy 

analyses, the conclusions could be drawn that: (1) Lower organic loading rate was better 

to mitigate the accumulation of VFAs and pH decrease during the hydrolysis and 

acidification of organic matters, which consequently improved methane production. When 

the inoculum to substrate ratio was 1:1[organic loading rate of 1.78 g&middot;

(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, pH=7.60], the cumulative methane production was the highest, 

reaching 2249.7 mL, and the performance of the digesters was stable. The VFAs content 

increased with the increase of the organic loading rate, leading to the suppression and 

further the stop of methane production. And when the inoculum to substrate ratio was 1:4 

[organic loading rate of 7.12 g&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, pH=5.52], the 

simultaneous generation of acetate and lactic acids could be achieved at 8000 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 2650 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. (2) As vinegar 

residues were short-range ordered with microcrystalline structure or mainly contained 

amorphous substances, they were more biodegradable than feedstocks such as corn stalk. 

During the anaerobic digestion processes, the degradation rates of lignin, cellulose and 

hemicellulose increased with the decrease of organic loading rate. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Based on the online measurements of VOCs of high pollution process at the 

university site in winter, VOCs' characteristics and species at different levels of haze 

pollution were analyzed. Fifty-five VOCs were detected during sampling. 

&sum;<inf>55</inf>VOCs concentrations ranged between 25.5&times;10<sup>-9</sup>-

1320.3&times;10<sup>-9</sup>(avg&plusmn;SD, 240&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>&plusmn;181&times;10<sup>-9</sup>). Toluene and xylene were the major pollutants 

during high pollution process, the concentrations of which were higher than those of 

industrial area. The university site shared a similar VOC composition with that of 

industrial area, which suggested that it might be influenced by the surrounding 

industries. VOCs species exhibited high concentrations in nighttime while low 

concentrations in daytime. The ozone concentrations were on the contrary. Aromatic 

hydrocarbons were predominant with a high percentage of contribution (70.0%) to OFP 

(ozone formation potential). Alkenes and alkynes were the second highest group (16.7%). 

The OFP of VOCs was 2078.2&times;10<sup>-9</sup>under the west-south wind direction, 

about 4 times higher than the value under other wind directions (505.8&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>). Aromatic hydrocarbons exhibited a predominant contribution to OFP at different 

levels of haze pollution in this area, among which, Toluene and xylene contributed more 

than 50% to OFP. The newest version of EPA PMF model was used to identify the major 

source of VOCs and evaluate their contributions. Gasoline sources and vehicle exhaust, 

refinery and petroleum products, solvent use and organic synthetic materials were the 

identified VOC sources in the study area, contributing 33.1%, 31.5%, 30.5%, and 4.9%, 

respectively to the &sum;<inf>55</inf>VOCs concentrations. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:To explore the short-term impact of biodegradable organic matter on the 

activities of different functional microbes in autotrophic partial nitrification granular 

sludge (PNG), the variations of both nitrogen transformation performance and dissolved 

oxygen (DO) uptake of PNG were investigated in this study, by carrying out successive 

batch tests with and without the organics stressing. The results showed that the higher 

the C/N ratio, the lower the specific nitrite accumulation rate of q

(NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N). Meanwhile, the increase of heterotrophic bacteria (HeB) 

activities caused the fast DO uptake by PNG, which could effectively suppress nitrite 

oxidizing bacteria (NOB) with the low oxygen affinity. When inorganic substrate culture 

was employed in the following phase, both HeB and NOB showed low activities, with 

significant increase in q(NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N). In short, the adverse effects of 

biodegradable organic matter on the performance of PNG system were partially reversible, 

which could benefit to enhance the advantage of ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

improve the stability of partial nitrification reaction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Effects of pH and complexing agents on Sb(V) adsorption onto birnessite and 

ferrihydrite surface were investigated. The results indicated that birnessite and 

ferrihydrite had strong ability to adsorb Sb(V). The removal efficiencies of Sb(V) by 

birnessite and ferrihydrite were dependent on the initial pH in solution. The removal 

efficiency of Sb(V) increased with the decrease of solution pH. At pH 5.0, the removal 

efficiencies, adsorption rate and adsorption capacity were better than those at pH 7.0 or 

9.0. The adsorption process of Sb(V) on birnessite and ferrihydrite could be well 

described by the pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir model best described the 

adsorption behavior of Sb(V) by birnessite and ferrihydrite at pH 5.0. The presence of 

citric acid or EDTA had significant effect on Sb(V) adsorption onto birnessite and 

ferrihydrite. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A total of 22 water samples collected from Luomahu Lake were determined using 

high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS) to evaluate 

the pollution level, spatial distribution and ecological risk of 32 PPCPs. 23 PPCPs were 

detected in surface water of Luomahu Lake and the total concentrations of 22 samples were 

892-1 536 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The concentration of norfloxacin (256-707 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) was the highest among the detected PPCPs, followed by 

ketoprofen (85-438 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), acesulfame (101-290 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>) and naproxen (1.9-112 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). Spatial differences were found 

in concentrations of PPCPs in various sampling sites. Concentrations of PPCPs in 

northeast of Luomahu Lake were higher than those of southwest. Concentration of PPCPs in 

Fangtinghe River was high and that of Zhangshanzha River was relatively low. The risk 

assessment of 13 pharmaceutical PPCPs showed that risk quotients(RQs) of norfloxacin were 

0.26-0.72, posing medial risk to aquatic ecosystem. Gemifibrozil posed low ecological 

risks with RQs&gt;0.01 in most sampling sites. RQs of other 11 PPCPs were less than 0.01, 

posing no ecological risks. The combined risk quotients of 12 PPCPs in water of Luomahu 

Lake were 0.29-0.75, indicating that those compounds posed an medial risk to aquatic 

ecosystem. Human health risk assessment showed that the RQs were less than one for 6 

selected PPCPs, indicating that these compounds did not appear to pose an appreciable 

risk to human health by potential environmental exposure from drinking water. &copy;

Abstract:A rapid recombinant human thyroid (hTR) gene yeast bioassay was used to evaluate 

the effect of dissolved humic acid on thyroid receptor antagonistic activity of 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The concentration of bio-available zinc after its reaction with 

dissolved humic acids was measured by anodic stripping voltammetry(ASV). Furthermore, the 

reaction mechanism of humic acid and zinc was investigated by three-dimensional 

excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3DEEM). The results revealed that 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>demonstrated strong thyroid receptor antagonistic activity, and the 

concentration inhibiting 20% of the maximum effect of ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was 

1.70&times;10<sup>-5</sup>mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The thyroid receptor antagonistic 

activity of ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was reduced by 30%-50% after the reaction of dissolved humic 

acids. The results of ASV showed that the concentration of bio-available zinc was 

decreased after the reaction of dissolved humic acids, the result was similar to that of 

bioassay test. The thyroid receptor antagonistic activity of the mixed solution of humic 

acid and ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was increased after UV radiation treatment, however it was still 

lower than the antagonistic activity induced by ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The results of 3DEEM 

showed that ZnCl<inf>2</inf>could reduce the fluorescence peak intensity of humic acid, 

which could intuitively characterize the interaction between humic acid and 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The above results can provide basic data and theoretical support for 

zinc toxicity study in aquatic environment and the establishment of water quality 

criteria for znic. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The influence of Cd on the degradation of nonylphenol (NP) by P.aeruginosa SH1 

was investigated in this study. The investigation revealed that biomass of the strain was 

significantly declined with the increase of Cd<sup>2+</sup>concentration. The biomass was 

declined by 27.1% in the presence of 10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Cd<sup>2+</sup>after 24 

h. The addition of Cd<sup>2+</sup>had a great influence on adsorption of NP by the 

strain. As for the effect of living stain, adsorption by P.aeruginosa SH1 cells was 

stimulated at low concentrations of Cd<sup>2+</sup>(0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), while 

inhibited at higher levels(&ge;5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). As for inactivation of 

microbes, adsorption by cells was stimulated at higher concentrations, but was only 

slightly influenced at low levels. The results showed that the intracellular enzymes had 

much greater degradation rate than the living cells. Different concentrations of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>had different effects on bacteria and intracellular enzyme degradation of 

NP separately. The degradation efficiency when using intracellular enzymes and bacteria 

was inhibited at higher levels of Cd<sup>2+</sup>and the intracellular enzyme inhibition 

was more significant. Degradation by cells was stimulated at low concentrations of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>, but no significant impact was found on that by intracellular enzymes. 

The degradation process of NP by intracellular enzymes of the strain conformed to the 

first-order kinetic model. The highest reaction rate was achieved when the concentrations 

of Cd<sup>2+</sup>was 0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the half-life of this substrate was 

5.5 h. However, the degradation process of NP by the strain did not conform to the 

first-order kinetic model. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The utilization of straw resources is of great significance to agricultural 

environmental protection and sustainable agricultural development. Based on the isolated 

15 high-efficient cellulose degrading bacteria in the laboratory, the composite 

inoculants (JFB-1) which can effectively degrade crop straw were screened, and the 

effects of straw composts with the composite inoculants on soil carbon and nitrogen 

contents and enzyme activity were studied. The results showed that the composite 

inoculants could accelerate straw decomposition for 1-2 d during single fermentation 

period, and the organic matter contents in straw composts reached 403.5-515.1 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, while the ratio of carbon and nitrogen decreased from 10.53 to 

15.30. The pot experiments found that the application effects of rice straw composts were 

generally better than those of corresponding asparagus straw composts. Compared with the 

control compost of rice straw, when the application amount of rice straw compost using 

the composite inoculants was 150 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the contents of soil organic 

matter and total nitrogen increased by 33.5% and 7.3%, and soil urease and cellulase 

activities increased by 16.7% and 30.8%, respectively. Compared with no fertilization 

treatment, the application of straw composts could improve soil microbial community 

structure, and increase microbial diversity indices. When the application amount of rice 

straw compost using the composite inoculants was 100 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the 

biomass of common Chinese cabbage cultivated for 30 d increased by 46.4% compared to the 

control compost of rice straw. These results indicated that the composite inoculants have 

great application potential in straw composts. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Uptake of nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) and their purification capacity for five 

native submerged macrophytes were investigated in laboratory simulated hydrostatic 

conditions, including Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria natans, Ceratophyllum demersum, 

Myriophyllum spicatum, Potamogeton maackianus. The results indicated that the moisture 

contents of different submerged macrophytes were almost the same before and after the 

test,with the range of 89.8%-92.0%. The net accumulated biomass changed from 1.52 

g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>to 12.92 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>among different submerged 

macrophytes, and the highest net accumulated biomass of Hydrilla verticillata was 8.5 

times higher than the lowest plant of Potamogeton maackianus. The N and P contents of 

five submerged macrophytes ranged from 26.54 to 34.44g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and from 

2.54 to 4.01g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and the N and P contents of 

Ceratophyllum demersum were relatively high. Total N and P removal efficiency of 

different submerged macrophyte treatments had ranges of 63.8%-83.1% and 49.2%-70.8%, 

significantly higher than those of the CK treatment (39.9% and 36.9%), respectively, and 

the removal efficiency decreased in the order of Hydrilla verticillata&gt;Ceratophyllum 

demersum&gt;Vallisneria natans&gt;Myriophyllum spicatum&gt;Potamogeton maackianus. Total 

N and P removal efficiencies of different submerged macrophyte treatments were 

significantly correlated with net accumulated biomass, with correlation coefficients of 

0.994 (P&lt;0.01) and 0.996 (P&lt;0.01). The contribution of direct N and P uptake to 

different submerged macrophytes had the ranges of 1.5%-13.3% and 2.2%-13.2%, and the 

synergism contribution (deducting self-purification capacity of water) of different 

submerged macrophytes ranged 22.5%-29.9% and 10.1%-20.6%, indicating that the synergistic 

effect of submerged macrophytes purification was much more significant than the direct 

uptake effect in the process of water purification. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Land use change in river basin is one of the most significant factors that 

influence river water quality. Based on remote sensing images and river water quality 

data of Taizi River Basin, partial least squares (PLS) model was applied to explore the 

relationship between water quality and land use patterns at sub-watershed scale. In this 

study, PLS model was established by using the percentage of area of land use patterns 

from seven different sub-watersheds as the variables and the concentrations of four water 

quality parameters as the observations. The established model was further tested with the 

data from other sub-watersheds in Taizi River Basin. The results indicated that total 

nitrogen (TN) and nitrate (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>) were significantly associated with 

land use types in Taizi River Basin with determination coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) 

greater than 0.62. As for chloride (Cl<sup>-</sup>) and sulfate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>), measured values and fitted values had a relatively low fitting precision 

(R<sup>2</sup>&lt;0.5), which meant land use pattern was not the main factor affecting 

the concentrations of Cl<sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>in river water. 

Meanwhile, river water quality had a strong correlation with the percentage of area of 

unused land at the sub-basin scale (influence coefficient &gt;0.24), although unused land 

area in the Taizi river basin was small. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In the present study, human hair samples were collected in Chongqing to detect 

the concentrations of heavy metals including Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn by flame atomic 

absorption spectrophotometry. Meanwhile, the relationship between the content of heavy 

metals and age, gender and smoking habits was also analyzed, and the potential sources of 

the heavy metals in human hair were understood through correlation analysis and principal 

component analysis. The results showed that the mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and 

Zn were 3.1, 24.3, 9.7, 42.8 and 209.6 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively in urban 

areas, while the mean contents were 0.9, 15.8, 5.6, 15.2 and 173.4 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively in rural area. The residents living in urban areas exhibited 

significantly higher concentrations than those in rural area, revealing the same heavy 

metal pattern with that in soils (t-test, P&lt;0.01). No obvious trend was observed 

between the contents of heavy metals and age, except that the contents of Cu and Zn were 

increasing with the growth of age. Significantly higher concentrations of Cd and Pb were 

both observed in male hair and smokers than those in female and non-smokers, respectively 

in urban and rural areas (P&lt;0.01). Similar correlation patterns among Cd, Cu, Ni and 

Pb were found both in urban and rural areas. According to principal component analysis, 

Cu, Ni and Pb contaminations had similar sources in urban areas, whereas Cd, Ni and Pb 

had similar sources in rural area. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sludge retention time(SRT) is a crucial parameter to influence the stability of 

biological wastewater treatment systems. Especially, the effects of SRT on yeast-

wastewater treatment remain unclear. In this study, mixtures of yeast strains were 

applied to treat oil-containing wastewater in sequencing batch reactors(SBR) and the 

effects of sludge retention time(SRT as 5, 10, 20, 40 d) on the removal efficiency of 

pollutants, contents and composition of extracellular polymeric substances(EPS), yeast 

cells settleability and yeast communities were investigated. The results showed that the 

recommended SRT was 5-10 d for the yeast-SBR system; Higher SRT led to decrease of COD 

removal rate and content of EPS; the tightly-bounded EPS was the major one which 

consisted of polysaccharides. SRT of 5-40 d had no significant effects on the SVI of 

yeast cells, however, longer SRT (&gt;20 d) resulted in the increase of mycelial cells 

and a tendency to produce the filamentous bulking. In the continuous operation of SBR, 

three extraneous yeast strains capable of utilizing or degrading oil were identified in 

the systems under the short and long SRT. To conclude, shorter SRT was favorable for the 

system stability in treating oil-containing wastewater by yeasts. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To investigate the perennial effect of environment adjustment layers on the 

interior environment and nitrogen transformation in anaerobic bioreactor landfills, three 

sets of simulated anaerobic bioreactor landfills and two kinds of environment adjustment 

layers of mineralized refuse with heavy calcium carbonate (R2) and mineralized refuse 

with natural zeolites (R3) were designed and established. The degradation and 

transformation of nitrogen in waste and leachate had been monitored for 390 days. The 

results showed that, the value orders of pH, alkalinity, oxidation reduction potential 

and moisture content (MS) were pH(R2)&gt;pH(R3)&gt;pH(R1), alkalinity (R2)&gt;alkalinity 

(R3)&gt;alkalinity (R1), Eh(R2)&lt;Eh(R3)&lt;Eh(R1) and MS(R3)&gt;MS(R2)&gt;MS(R1). In 

R1, R2 and R3, the degradation rates of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate 

nitrogen in waste were 79.2%, 82.3% and 88.5%, 48.3%, 60.1% and 67.7%, 38.5%, 44.2% and 

53.4%, respectively. Concentration comparison results of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen 

and nitrate nitrogen in leachate were TN(R3)&lt;TN(R2)&lt;TN(R1), NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

calcium carbonate and mineralized refuse with natural zeolites could long-term adjust and 

optimize the interior environment of anaerobic bioreactor landfills for the degradation 

and conversion of nitrogen. Mineralized waste with natural zeolite could not only promote 

the degradation and transformation of nitrogen components in waste and leachate, but also 

control the accumulation of ammonia nitrogen through leachate recirculation. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Catalytic combustion is an efficient way to remove soot particulates from 

automobile exhausts. A series of rare earth pyrochlore oxides 

La<inf>2</inf>Sn<inf>1.8</inf>TM<inf>0.2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>(TM=Sn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu) were 

prepared with CTAB-assisted sol-gel method. The products were characterized by 

XRD,N<inf>2</inf>Adsorption-Desorption, SEM, FT-IR, H<inf>2</inf>-TPR and PL techniques. 

Their catalytic activity for soot oxidation was investigated by TPO under tight 

conditions in both O<inf>2</inf>and NO+O<inf>2</inf>atmospheres. After calcination at 

900&#8451;, the as-synthesized oxides with pure pyrochlore phase displayed nanospheres 

with diameter of 30-60 nm and relatively large surface areas. The partial substitution of 

Sn with transition metals largely influenced the reduction behavior of pyrochlores 

especially on the low temperature range in H<inf>2</inf>-TPR profiles, which was due to 

the interactions between Sn and transition metals. The improved oxygen mobility might be 

derived from the structure defects induced by transition metals doping, which could be 

helpful in oxidation reactions. In comparison with uncatalyzed reactions, the 

La<inf>2</inf>Sn<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>catalyst exhibited modest catalytic activity for 

soot combustion, while transition metals incorporation further enhanced the activity and 

selectivity. The improved activity of transition metals doped samples was likely to be 

associated with the improved reducibility and increased surface oxygen vacancies on the 

pyrochlore oxides. The presence of NO in the gas phase significantly enhanced the soot 

oxidation activity, which was due to the promotion effect of NO<inf>2</inf>. Especially, 

the densities of active oxygen sites and turnover frequency (TOF) values of the 

catalysts, quantified by isothermal anaerobic titration with soot as a probe molecule, 

were used to explain the different soot combustion behaviors. Among the pyrochlore 

oxides, the Co-doped pyrochlore sample displayed the highest ignition activity and the 

largest intrinsic activity with TOF of 3.20&times;10<sup>-3</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>. &copy;

Abstract:Simultaneous measurements of precursor gases 

NH<inf>3</inf>,NO,NO<inf>2</inf>,SO<inf>2</inf>and the main water-soluble ions in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>such as sulphate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>),nitrate 

(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>) and ammonium (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>) (collectively 

called SNA)were carried out in the urban area of Beijing during 2015-01 to 2015-12,which 

obtained 325 groups of samples. PTFE membrane filters were used to collect particulate 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

followed by the online instruments to collect precursor gases. The pollution 

characteristics of the precursor gases and SNA were analyzed and their correlation was 

studied. The mean concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>, NO, NO<inf>2</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>,NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>were 

21.5, 17.7, 54.3, 14.2, 8.1, 13.5 and 12.7 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>respectively during 

the period of monitoring, and SNA accounted for 43.4% of PM<inf>2.5</inf>. The 

concentrations of SO<inf>2</inf>,NO<inf>x</inf>and SNA declined compared to 2014. The 

concentrations of NO,NO<inf>2</inf>and SO<inf>2</inf>were highest in winter and lowest in 

summer. The concentration of NH<inf>3</inf>was higher in summer and lower in autumn; The 

concentration and the percentage of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were stable during the four 

seasons,both the concentrations and the percentage of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were 

lowest in summer. The concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>was highest in winter 

and the percentage was lowest in summer. The ratio of ([NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>]+2

[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>]) and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was 0.97 during the whole 

year, showing that anions mainly existed in the form of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>. In summer, the ratio of [NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>]+2

[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>] and [NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>] was slightly higher than 

1.0, which was the reason why NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>was bound to Ca<sup>2+</sup>, 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>and Na<sup>+</sup>besides NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>. With the increase of 

pollution, the mass concentration of precursor gases and SNA increased dramatically, 

among which NO<inf>x</inf>increased most rapidly, and SO<inf>2</inf>decreased from severe 

pollution to serious pollution. The contribution rate of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was 

maintained at a relatively stable level. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>had a higher 

contribution when the pollution level was lower, whereas the concentration of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>was higher than others and contributed most to 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>in heavy pollution. Heterogeneous transformation on the surface of 

particulate matter played a more important role in the formation of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2

-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>. The correlations between NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf>and NO,NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and 

NH<inf>3</inf>,SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and SO<inf>2</inf>were significant at the 

confidence level of 0.01. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>had negative correlation with 

SO<inf>2</inf>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>had positive correlation with 

NO<inf>2</inf>. Compared with NH<inf>3</inf>, the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>concentration 

was more obviously affected by acid gases NO<inf>2</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Ambient air was sampled and analyzed around a municipal solid waste incinerator 

(MSWI) in Beijing from April 2014 to January 2015 to investigate the concentrations, 

profiles and seasonal variations of PCDD/Fs in the region using HRGC-HRMS technique. The 

mass concentrations and TEQ of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/Fs in the air samples ranged from 

8.9 to 140 pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and from 0.11 to 1.8 pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

respectively. The concentration values at 4 sampling sites in haze day in autumn and all 

7 sampling sites in winter were higher than the ambient air standard of 0.6 

pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>for dioxins regulated in Japan. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDD 

dominated PCDD/Fs in all the samples for all four seasons with average contribution 

fractions of 20.5% and 14.0%, respectively, while 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF was the dominant 

congener contributing to TEQ (43.3%). The spatial distribution basically exhibited a 

trend that the concentrations at all sites were comparable and not related to the 

distances from the source. Seasonal variation showed obviously higher concentration in 

winter than the other three seasons, which may attribute to the high concentration of 

ambient particulate matter due to domestic heating and worse atmospheric dispersion that 

occurred in winter. The homologue and congener profiles of PCDD/Fs in the air samples 

differed from those of the flue gas emission from the MSWI, consistent with the principle 

component analysis results. Dioxin inhalation exposure dose estimation showed that the 

dioxin inhalation exposure risk of residents living in the studied area was at a 

relatively safe level [0.060-0.224 pg&middot;(kg&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]. However, the 

dioxin inhalation exposure risk in heavily polluted seasons still needs great concerns.

Abstract:From May 2015 to June 2016, seasonal sediment samples were collected from three 

headwater streams in the urban-rural fringe of Hefei, Chaohu Lake basin, China. The 

nitrogen pollution characteristics of sediments were preliminarily investigated for the 

three streams. Three metrics, that is, potential nitrification rate (PNR), areal 

nitrification rate (ANR) and rate of denitrification were quantitatively determined, and 

their spatial and temporal variations were discussed subsequently. Moreover, the 

relationship between PNR, ANR or denitrification rate and a list of environmental factors 

was discriminated by using partial least-squares regression analysis. Results showed 

that: (1) Guanzhenhe Distributary was the most polluted stream with a mean content of 

4516.39 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for TN, which was 2.56 and 1.36 times higher than those 

of Modian Stream and Taochong Stream, respectively. Similarly, the highest values for 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N emerged in Guanzhenhe 

Distributary while the lowest existed in Modian Stream. (2) There were distinct seasonal 

variations in PNR and ANR, namely, the maximum values emerged in summer, minimum in 

winter, and almost equivalent in spring and autumn. And the arrangement in order for PNR 

and ANR was Taochong Stream&gt;Modian Stream&gt;Guanzhenhe Distributary. (3) The mean 

rate of denitrification in Guanzhenhe Distributary was 10.59 mg&middot;(kg&middot;h)

<sup>-1</sup>, which was 3.16 and 1.75 times higher than those in Modian Stream and 

Taochong Stream, respectively. In addition, both denitrification rate and denitrification 

activity in summer were higher than those in spring for the three streams. (4) According 

to the variable importance plot (F<inf>VIP</inf>), ANR, PNR and rate of denitrification 

were almost all significantly correlated with such physical and chemical factors as pH, 

OM, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, TN and TP in sediments 

for the three streams. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Elevated atmospheric CO<inf>2</inf>concentration and temperature may affect 

nitrifiers and denitrifiers which are related to soil N turnover. A climate change 

experiment was conducted in the rice-wheat rotation ecosystem. This study was used to 

investigate effects of elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature on soil microbial community 

structure, as well as abundance and activity of nitrifiers and denitrifiers. The results 

showed that no change in the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

denitrifier was observed at the tillering stage, however at the later stages, elevated 

CO<inf>2</inf>alone significantly increased the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea 

(AOA) and denitrifier but there were no changes under CW treatment. The analysis of T-

RFLP profiles showed that elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature had no obvious effect on 

community structure of AOA, AOB or denitrifier, but altered diversity index (H') of AOA 

and denitrifier. Moreover, elevated CO<inf>2</inf>alone significantly increased 

nitrifying rate at the ripening stage. Elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature did not 

result in significant change in denitrifying rate at each single stage. These results 

suggested that effects of elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature on microbial community 

were different among the tillering, heading and ripening stages, and functional 

microorganism responded differently to multiple climate change treatments. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Sixty-eight fish samples were collected from typical epidemic areas of 

schistosomiasis prevalence. The contents of 12 CB congeners in fish samples were measured 

using GC/MS technique. The results indicated that 1,3-DIC, 1,4-DIC, 1,2-DIC and HCB were 

the most predominant CB congeners in the samples from the studying area. The source of 

HCB was PCP (pentachlorophenol), which was used to control the schistosomiasis 

prevalence, used in study area. And DIC came from the degradation of HCB and the articles 

of daily use. The geometric average of CBs in muscle ranged from 2731.50 to 7811.23

Abstract:This study chose two months (January and July) in 2012 which represent winter 

and summer respectively, to assess the effects of fine particle (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) 

pollution elimination due to emission control from different sectors in the Bejing-

Tianjin-Hebei region by using CMAQ/2D-VBS modeling system. The results showed that, 

industrial emissions contributed most to PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution in the Beijing-

Tianjin-Hebei region, followed by domestic emissions, while the contribution of per ton 

emission reduced for industrial sectors subject to domestic sectors. The total 

contribution and contribution of per ton emission reduced for transportation and power 

plant were both at low level. Among industrial sectors, the iron, steel and metallurgical 

industry was the greatest contributor, followed by cement industry, industrial boiler, 

coking industry, lime and bricks industry and chemical industry. It was found that the 

contribution of each emission source had significant association with its primary 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>emission level. The control of NO<inf>x</inf>emissions would promote the 

formation of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and atmospheric vertical diffusion effect was weak during 

wintertime in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. As a result, emission control of various 

sectors was universally more effective for PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution mitigation in summer 

than in winter. Emission control in summer was significantly more effective for 

transportation, powerplant, cement industry, industrial boiler and lime and bricks 

industry. Due to considerable emissions in heating season, domestic emissions showed more 

contribution in winter. Agricultural sources showed greater contribution per emission 

reduction in winter by the reason of substantial emissions from straw open burning during 

this time. With respect to a certain reduction ratio of emission, future control 

strategies should pay more attention to industrial emissions, especially to the primary 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>emissions. In details, priorities should be given to NO<inf>x</inf>and 

SO<inf>2</inf>emission control for iron, steel and metallurgical industry, 

NO<inf>x</inf>emission control for cement industry and SO<inf>2</inf>and NMVOC emission 

control for coking industry. Besides, domestic emission control should also be taken into 

consideration, and it will be more effective in winter. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:In recent years, cyanide contamination problem is becoming more and more 

serious. Cyanides widely occur in the wastewater from metallurgical industry and 

electroplating industry. The efficiency for cyanides removal of conventional physical and 

chemical methods is not very satisfactory. Therefore, it is urgent to develop highly 

efficient and environmental friendly methods for the removal of cyanides. As an 

environmental-friendly oxidant, potassium persulfate is widely used in the treatment of 

organic pollutants. The destruction of Cu(CN)<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>was investigated by 

homogeneous K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>under alkaline conditions, and the 

reaction mechanism was analyzed. The effects of the amount of 

K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>and the ratio of Cu<sup>+</sup>/CN<sup>-</sup>on 

the degradation of CN<sup>-</sup>were studied. With the increase of 

K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>dose, the rate of CN<sup>-</sup>oxidation was 

accelerated. The removal efficiency of CN<sup>-</sup>reached 89.6% after 60 min of 

reaction in the presence of 2 mmol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>. Oxidation of CN<sup>-</sup>was 

accelerated with Cu<sup>+</sup>/CN<sup>-</sup>increasing from 2.0 to 5.0. Cu<sup>

+</sup>was oxidized to Cu<sup>2+</sup>and copper oxide was formed during the reaction. 

The reactive radicals were analyzed using electron spin resonance and radical quenching 

experiments, and the results indicated that both radicals oxidation pathway and non-

radical oxidation pathway were responsible for the removal of Cu(CN)<inf>3</inf><sup>2-

</sup>by K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Pot experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of nano zeolite (NZ) 

and ordinary zeolite (OZ) on the growth, activities of antioxidant enzyme, Cd fraction 

and Cd concentration in two varieties of Chinese cabbage. The results showed that the 

activities of SOD, CAT and POD in the shoot and root of two varieties increased, and the 

dry weight of shoot and the total dry weight of Chinese cabbage increased by 4.5%-96.5% 

and 3.4%-88.4%, respectively. The application of zeolite effectively reduced the Cd 

concentration of shoot and root in the two varieties of Chinese cabbage, and the 

reduction range increased with the increase of the application amount of zeolite. Under 

the low Cd condition (1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd), the Cd concentration of edible 

parts (shoots) in SD4 variety and XJC3 variety decreased by 1.0%-75.0% and 19.5%-68.9% 

(except the Cd<inf>1</inf>+OZ<inf>5</inf>/OZ<inf>10</inf>processing), respectively. Under 

the high Cd condition (5 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd), the Cd concentration of the edible 

parts (shoots) in SD4 variety and XJC3 variety decreased by 7.2%-53.2% (except 

Cd<inf>5</inf>+OZ<inf>10</inf>processing) and 0.7%-63.0%, respectively. The Cd 

concentrations of the edible parts (shoots) in tow varieties of Chinese cabbage in the 

nano zeolite treatments decreased by 10.5%-65.7% compared with the ordinary zeolite 

treatments. In Cd contaminated soils (1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 5 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd),) the total extraction amount of Cd in the edible parts 

(shoots) of SD4 variety reduced by 12.4%-68.8% and 13.2%-55.6% (except of Cd<inf>5</inf>

+OZ<inf>5</inf>processing), and the total extraction amount of Cd in the edible parts 

(shoots) of XJC3 variety reduced by 9.4%-71.5% and 3.1%-38.7% (except of Cd<inf>1</inf>

+OZ<inf>5</inf>processing), respectively. The application amount of nano zeolite (NZ) and 

ordinary zeolite (OZ) was more, the reduction range of the total extraction amount of Cd 

in the edible parts (shoots) of two varieties of Chinese cabbage was greater. &copy;

Abstract:The biodegradation of gas-phase mixtrue of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and 1-

propanethiol (PT) was examined in a biotrickling filter (BTF), inoculated with a 

microbial consortium composed of activated sewage sludge, and pure strains of Alcaligenes 

sp. SY1 and Pseudomonas putida. S-1. BTF could be successfully started up within only 11 

days when the inlet concentrations of DMS and PT were both 50 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 

EBRT was 30 s, with 90% removal efficiency (RE) of DMS and 100% RE of PT. In the steady 

state, the maximum elimination capacities of DMS and PT were 8.7 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 12.4 g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. The presence of PT with a concentration up to 51 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>showed an antagonistic removal pattern for DMS, but the opposite 

did not occur. Meanwhile, the BTF showed high efficiency in the biodegradation of 

H<inf>2</inf>S. When the concentration of H<inf>2</inf>S was as high as 230 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the RE of H<inf>2</inf>S could reach 98%. However, 

H<inf>2</inf>S showed a declining effect on the removal of DMS when the concentration 

exceeded 115 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In current scenario, the soil pollution has become very severe and its effects 

on agricultural and ecological security issues cannot be ignored as various contaminants 

are discharged into soil. Thus, the soil pollution is exigent and has to be solved. This 

research took soil resistance(Rt), resilience (Rl) and stability (Sb) as evaluation 

indexes for judging soil quality by exerting different concentration (concentration 

ratio) gradient of pyrene (PYR), cadmium (Cd) and pyrene/cadmium (PYR/Cd) combined 

pollutants. A sympathetic description was showed from the aspects of microbial activity, 

diversity and abundance of soil ecosystem,and the models were constructed to describe the 

dose-response relationship between PYR-Sb and Cd-Rt. The research showed that different 

types of pollutants had certain inhibition on soil DOC content. In Cd and PYR simplex 

pollution, soil microbial mean biomass and colony number decreased with increasing 

concentration of pollutants. In PYR/Cd combined pollution, the ratio of PYR and Cd had a 

negative correlation with the decreasing rate of DOC and resistance, meanwhile Cd had a 

prominent influence on the above-mentioned correlations, in other words, the soil with 

higher concentration of Cd had lower DOC decrease rate and resistance, and Cd would have 

dominant inhibition effect on microorganisms under PYR/Cd combined pollution. In 

addition, this study found the significant correlation of c<inf>PYR</inf>-Sb and 

c<inf>Cd</inf>-Rt, and built the binomial forecasting model to describe the dose-response 

relationship of c<inf>PYR</inf>-Sb and c<inf>Cd</inf>-Rt. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:BTEX concentrations were determined by GC5000 online gas chromatography in the 

atmosphere of the north suburb of Nanjing in March 2013 to February 2014, using the EPA 

human exposure analysis evaluation method for benzene series compounds of volatile 

organic compounds (VOCs) in health risk assessment. The results showed that the total 

amount of BTEX showed the variation characteristics of 

spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn&gt;summer. BTEX concentration was higher in the periods of 

07:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00, and the lowest was detected between 13:00-15:00; At the 

weekend, the concentration of BTEX was higher than on the working day. The sources of 

BTEX included traffic sources, industrial sources and solvent evaporation. The HQ of BTEX 

in all four seasons showed the order of benzene&gt;xylene&gt;ethylbenzene&gt;toluene, and 

the HQ risk values were within the safety range in all analysis periods. The distribution 

of R value was winter&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;summer, and R was higher than the safety 

threshold for all the analyses, indicating the existence of carcinogenic risk. &copy;

Abstract:Morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG) is the basis for a simple way of 

distinguishing the phytoplankon to cluster species according to their similar 

morphological traits observed by optical microscope. In order to understand the 

application of morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG) in the research on 

phytoplankton community structure and variation of deep-water reservoir, as well as the 

succession characteristics of algae, the Jinpen Reservoir was studied from August 2011 to 

July 2013. Using morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG), the phytoplankton 

communities found in the reservoir were classified to functional groups, and the 

relations between the morphologically-based functional groups succession and environment 

cases were explored with redundancy analysis (RDA) method. The results suggested that 

five morphologically-based functional groups were found in the reservoir, namely 

II,IV,V,VI,VII; The succession of reservoir algal functional groups had seasonal 

characteristics, a variety of Morphologically-based functional groups coexisted in spring 

and summer,while reservoir algal functional groups were relatively simple in autumn and 

winter; meanwhile, the density of each morphologically-based functional group decreased 

with the increase of water depth among the environmental factors, morphologically-based 

functional groups IV and VI were respectively affected by temperature; the other water 

layers of the reservoir morphologically-based functional groups VI was significantly 

affected by TN content. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sorption of p-nitrophenol (PNP) on biochars prepared from pyrolysis of corncob 

in the temperature range of 200-600&#8451; (CC200-CC600) was investigated. Sorption 

mechanisms were discussed. Pyrolysis temperature showed a pronounced effect on properties 

of biochars. Decreases in molar H/C, O/C and (O+N)/C ratios were resulted from removal of 

H- and O-containing functional groups with increasing pyrolysis temperature, and produced 

biochars with low polarity and high aromaticity. The isotherms data were well described 

by the Freundlich model. Batch sorption experiments showed that the PNP sorption was 

strongly dependent on the properties of biochars. A linear relationship was observed 

between sorption parameters (n and K<inf>F</inf>) and properties of biochars such as 

molar elemental ratios [H/C, O/C, and (O+N)/C]. The sorption and partition fractions were 

quantified by isotherm separation method. PNP sorption on biochar produced at 200&#8451; 

was linear due to partition on uncarbonized organic matter in biochar, while PNP sorption 

on biochars produced at 300-600&#8451; was nonlinear and adsorption-dominant for all the 

biochars via &pi;-&pi; electron donor-acceptor interaction and pore-filling. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:To identify the compositions and sources of dicarboxylic acids and related SOA 

in Mt. Taishan, PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from July to August, 2004, and 

analyzed for dicarboxylic acids and related compounds, the tracers of biogenic secondary 

organic aerosol (SOA) (Isopene, &alpha;-/&beta;-Pinene and &beta;-caryophyllene SOA 

tracers), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and inorganic ions. The results showed that 

total dicarboxylic acids were (376&plusmn;189) ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 

C<inf>2</inf>was the most abundant dicarboxylic acid, followed by C<inf>3</inf>, 

C<inf>4</inf>and C<inf>9</inf>. The concentrations of diacids were more abundant than 

those in marine regions, but lower than those in urban and other mountainous areas, 

indicating that the atmosphere in Mt. Taishan was less influenced by anthropogenic 

pollution. C<inf>2</inf>/C<inf>4</inf>, C<inf>3</inf>/C<inf>4</inf>and F/M ratios 

indicated that diacids were mostly produced by more intensive photochemical oxidation. 

The relative abundance of C<inf>9</inf>to the total diacids, 

C<inf>9</inf>/C<inf>6</inf>and C<inf>9</inf>/Ph ratios were higher than those in urban, 

marine and mountainous regions, further suggesting that SOA in Mt. Taishan atmosphere 

were mostly derived from biogenic sources rather than anthropogenic sources. Compared to 

the budgets of model and correlation analysis, it suggested that diacids and related SOA 

in Mt. Taishan were mostly derived from photochemical oxidation of local biogenic 

sources. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The use of biological pesticide can greatly reduce the soil pollution in the 

environment. Exploring the effect of biological pesticide on community diversity and 

distribution of pathogenic bacteria will provide theoretic basis for subsequent 

researches on biological pesticide micro-ecological control. In order to explore the 

microbial ecological mechanism of pepper phytophthora blight, this research compared the 

difference of microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy 

plants, and the effects of Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 on microbial diversities of 

plant rhizosphere soil were investigated using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology. The 

results showed that there was less difference in the microbial diversity from the same 

soil between the seventh day and the fourteenth day. The microbial diversity of 

rhizosphere soil of healthy plants was higher than that of rhizosphere soil of infected 

plants. The soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 exhibited the highest 

diversity. Moreover, the abundance of Actinomycetes in the rhizosphere soil of healthy 

plants was higher than that of infected plants, and the highest abundance of 

Actinomycetes was observed in the soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06. The 

microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy plants was 

significantly different. Spraying Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 could significantly 

alter the microbial community structure of the soil. It could also increase the diversity 

of microorganism and the abundance of Actinomycetes in the soil. &copy; 2017, Science

(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) in four seasons was different, but the six monitoring stations showed 

similar trends in each season. Daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) was simulated and 

verified by BRT. The correlation coefficient of the training data was 0.981, and the 

cross-validation correlation coefficient was 0.957. In addition, the mean deviation 

between the simulated values and the measured values was 1.80%, and the standardized mean 

error was 10.41%, which showed that the model fitted well. The contribution percentages 

of four kinds of impact types (PM<inf>10</inf>, gaseous pollutants, meteorological 

factors and regional transport and diffusion) to daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) 

changes of four seasons were 23.4%, 28%, 36.2% and 12.6%, respectively. So, the most 

significant affecting factor was meteorological condition, followed by secondary 

formation, primary emission, and regional transport and diffusion. In the factors with 

contribution percentages of more than 5%, the daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) was 

positively associated with PM<inf>10</inf>, relative humidity, CO and O<inf>3</inf>, and 

was negatively correlated with temperature, SO<inf>2</inf>and mixed layer high. In 

addition, the daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) had complex relationships with 

atmospheric pressure and NO<inf>2</inf>. For regional transport and diffusion, the 

polluted air flow from southeast, west and north had a relatively great negative impact 

on PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution of urban area in Changzhou. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:A completely mixed aeration system was introduced in domestic sewage treatment, 

and the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification process and microbial community 

structure were further investigated. The pilot-scale experimental results showed that the 

operation of the system was stable and the average chemical oxygen demand (COD), 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and total nitrogen (TN) removal were 93.2%, 96.9% and 75.2%, 

respectively. The effluent COD, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and TN were better than the 

standard of level A stipulated by Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal 

Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002) in the absence of external carbon source. The 

sludge derived from the system showed a significant denitrification capacity and the 

denitrification rate was 2.86 times higher than that in the wastewater treatment plant. 

In addition, the existence of aerobic denitrifying bacteria in the system was confirmed 

by the PCR amplification of genes encoding perplasmic nitrate reductases. The high-

throughput sequencing results revealed that Zoogloea, Thauera and Dechloromonas were 

dominant in the completely mixed aeration system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Understanding of diurnal variation of soil porewater dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration plays an important role in revealing carbon cycling in 

estuarine wetlands. During neap and spring tidal days in April and September 2010, the 

diurnal variations of soil porewater dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentrations and main impacting factors in a brackish marsh ecosystem 

dominated by two species of Cyperus malaccensis (brevifolius) and Phragmites australis 

(common reed) were determined in the ShanYutan in the Min River estuary, southeast China. 

The results showed that: &#9312; the soil porewater dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration 

during the spring and neap tidal days in April and September ranged from 88.20 to 190.74, 

53.42 to 141.24, 16.27 to 81.89 and 44.90 to 88.53 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The mean of dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher at nighttime 

than at daytime during the spring and neap tidal days in April, but the mean of dissolved 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher at daytime than at nighttime during the spring and 

neap tidal tidal days in September. &#9313; the soil porewater dissolved 

CO<inf>2</inf>concentration during the spring and neap tidal days in September ranged 

from 19.33 to 40.1 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 9.69 to 29.96 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, and the dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>concentration during daytime was 

lower than that at night; &#9314; the mean of dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>concentration was 

lower during the inundation period than in the exposed soil surface period, but the mean 

of dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher during the inundation period than in 

the exposed soil surface period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Eukaryotic phytoplankton plays an important ecological function in river 

ecosystem. The 18S rRNA gene V4 variable region of the environmental samples in Liaohe 

river was sequenced by using 454 pyrosequencing technology. The reprehensive sequences of 

OTUs were annotated, and then the OTUs list was compared to the species list obtained by 

microscope observation. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the reprehensive 

sequences of OTUs and 18S rRNA genes of eukaryotic phytoplankton algae obtained from 

GenBank. The community structure characteristics of eukaryotic phytoplankton and its 

environmental impact indicators were further studied. In this study, we got 167 901 

high-quality sequences of 18S rRNA gene V4 region. These sequences were annotated to 424 

OTUs, including 134 eukaryotic algae. The results of the high-throughput sequencing 

showed that bacillariophyta and chlorophyta were the dominant groups of the total phyla. 

The high-throughput sequencing also revealed the presence of Charophyta, Cryptophyta, 

Haptophyta and Chrysophyceae which were not observed by optical microscope. The phylogeny 

analysis clustered the Cryptophyta and Pyrroptata at phylum level. The different genera 

of Cryptophyta and part of families or genera of Pyrroptata were clustered and 

distinguished by phylogeny analysis. The results of RDA showed that NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N, PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3</sup>-P and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were the most 

important environmental factors that affected the community structure. This study 

provided a new perspective to understand the diversity, community structure and influence 

factors of eukaryotic phytoplankton in Liaohe river. The study also indicated that high-

throughput sequencing has great application potential in investigation of phytoplankton 

and the water environment quality assessment in Liaohe river. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Landfills are the third largest iron reservoir and one of the largest sources of 

methane release. Iron, as a kind of transition metal, plays a particularly important role 

in environmental biogeochemistry and is closely linked to the biogeochemical cycle of C, 

S and N. The aged refuse could be utilized as bio-cover material to improve the removal 

of contaminants. Therefore, this work investigated the effect of iron reduction on 

anaerobic removal of methane, and the interactions of ferric iron with nitrate and 

sulfate in the aged refuse. The columns were operated as landfill bio-covers and 

recirculated leachate with addition of FeCl<inf>3</inf>solution. In the experiment, three 

columns were used, two of them were used as controls (named as B1 and B3), B1 was fed 

with leachate and CH<inf>4</inf>, whereas B3 was only recirculated with leachate adding 

FeCl<inf>3</inf>. The treatment B2 was fed with the above two substrates. During the 

operation of columns, the contents of CH<inf>4</inf>, CO<inf>2</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>in 

the gas, and the concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, Fe(III) and Fe(II) in 

the leachate and refuse were respectively determined. The results showed that adding 

ferric iron obviously enhanced the removal of methane in anaerobic aged refuse, the 

decrease of methane content with time obeyed zero-order kinetic, and the rate of methane 

removal(denoted as CH<inf>4</inf>/aged refuse)reached 1.28 mmol&middot;(kg&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>. In the anaerobic condition, methane could improve the reduction of Fe(III) 

to dissolved, active and bioavailable Fe(II). The active Fe(II) probably coupled to the 

transformation of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, and thus 

accelerated the removal of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>.

Abstract:Mangrove wetland plays an important role in coastal environment. A total of 10 

surface water samples and 7 surface sediments samples were collected in March, 2015 from 

Nansha mangrove wetland, and 8 compounds of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were 

determined by GC-ECD to investigate residues level, source, and ecological risk of these 

compounds in the study region. The result showed concentrations of OCPs in water ranged 

from 1.89 to 90.19 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(mean 30.16 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), and 

concentrations of OCPs in sediments varied from 3.10 to 16.02 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>

(average 8.58 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). Compared with other estuaries and harbors around 

the world, concentrations of OCPs in this study stayed at a median pollution level. The 

mean values of distribution coefficient of HCHs and DDTs between water and sediments were 

857 and 368, respectively. Sediments in some parts of the area, whose distribution 

coefficient was relatively high, may bring water the secondary pollution. Source analysis 

indicated that HCHs mainly originated from the application of Lindane, and DDTs 

originated from mixed sources of dicofol and technical DDT. Compared with OCPs in water, 

OCPs in sediments might contain more historical residual components. OCPs in water had 

light ecological risk, but OCPs in sediments posed a potential high risk to mangrove 

ecosystem. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Soil incubation experiment and pot experiment were carried out to investigate 

the influence of nano zeolite (NZ) and ordinary zeolite (OZ) on the soil pH, cation 

exchange capacity, concentration of soil Cd, soil Cd fraction and Cd uptake by Chinese 

cabbage when exposed to different Cd pollution levels(1, 5, 10 and 15 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>). The results of soil incubation experiment showed that the nano zeolite and 

ordinary zeolite dose(5, 10 and 20 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) increased the soil pH and 

cation exchange capacity, and decreased the concentration of soil exchangeable Cd, while 

increased the concentration of Cd in carbonate, Fe-Mn oxide, organic matter and residual 

fraction. The lowest EX-Cd was observed in the high nano zeolite (20 g&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>) treatment. The soil pH and cation exchange capacity was extremely negatively 

correlated with the concentration of soil exchangeable Cd(P&lt;0.01), and extremely 

positively correlated with the concentration of soil Fe-Mn oxide Cd(P&lt;0.01). The 

results of pot experiment showed that the FDC of exchangeable Cd in soil decreased by 

6.4%-63.2%, and the FDC of water-extractable and ethnol-extractable Cd in Chinese cabbage 

decreased by 2.1%-56% and 11.8%-100% with zeolite application, respectively. Moreover, 

the reduction effect of nano zeolite on Cd concentration in soil and plant was better 

than that of ordinary zeolite. The FDC of Cd fraction in shoot of Chinese cabbage showed 

correlation with the FDC of carbonate Cd and organic matter Cd in soil(P&lt;0.05) when 

exposed to 1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd pollution. Moreover, correlation was also found 

in the FDC of organic matter Cd and residual Cd in soil(P&lt;0.05) under 5

Abstract:Identifying nitrate sources and its transformation mechanisms are important for 

nitrate pollution control in surface water. The columnar core sediment samples in West 

Lake were taken in different seasons. The transformation of nitrogen at the sediment-

water interface was studied using nitrogen and oxygen isotopes, stable isotope analysis 

in R (SIAR) and acetylene inhibition method in the West Lake, Hangzhou. The results 

showed that the concentration gradient of both NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>existed at the sediment-water interface. NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>concentrations decreased from bottom water to pore water and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>was accumulated in sediments. NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>concentrations increased 

from bottom water to pore water and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was released from 

sediments. Nitrate sources in bottom water where nitrification exited were sewage 

(manure), soil nitrogen, chemical fertilizer and precipitation. Sewage (manure) was the 

major nitrogen contributor (60.8%) in summer. Particularly high &delta;<sup>15</sup>N 

values in pore water indicated that there was strong denitrification at the sediment-

water interface in West Lake. The average nitrification rate and denitrification rate at 

the sediment-water interface were 2.85 mmol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>and 23.51 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

sediment-water interface played a role in nitrogen removal process in aquatic 

environment. Seasonal and spatial variations of nitrification rates and denitrification 

rates were found in this study. Temperature and dissolved oxygen were the main 

influential factors for the transformation of nitrogen at the sediment-water interface in 

West Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to explore the distribution characteristics and change rule in daytime 

of the water temperature and water quality of the deep plateau lake Fuxian Lake during 

the thermal stratification period in summer, a typical point location was selected 

respectively in the south, middle and north of Fuxian Lake in July 2014 to carry out 

investigation and observation after stratified sampling at each point location and 

continuous stratified sampling of the point location in the north during daytime. The 

result showed that &#9312;The distribution of water temperature of Fuxian Lake in summer 

had the temperature distribution characteristics of deep lake during stratification 

period. The segment from the surface to a depth of 15 meters was epilimnion with a range 

of 25.51-22.81&#8451;. The segment from the depth of 15m to 40m was thermocline with a 

range of 22.81-14.72&#8451;. The segment below 40m was hypolimnion with a range of 14.72

-13.70&#8451;. The max temperature difference between the surface and the lakebed was 

11.8&#8451;, which was smaller than that of lakes in temperate zone during the same 

period. The temperature of the lakebed was about 14&#8451; which was higher than that of 

the lakes in temperate zone,which reflected the characteristics of water temperature 

stratification of the deep plateau lake Fuxian Lake; &#9313; The water temperature 

stratification determined the characteristics of chemical stratification and the 

ecological stratification: the pH, DO and conductivity presented the same layered 

structure as the distribution of water temperature. What is noteworthy was that the DO 

concentration of the lakebed was as low as 2-3mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. As an 

oligotrophic lake, the DO became lower and lower at the lakebed of Fuxian Lake, which 

indicated that it possibly faced ecological risks. Due to the separation of thermocline, 

the nutritive salt accumulative effect appeared in the hypolimnion. Chlorophyll a and 

permanganate index had a corresponding response relation with the water temperature 

stratification and showed the max value at the upper layer of the lake. &#9314; During 

the thermal stratification period, the water temperature stratification of Fuxian Lake 

had a change during daytime. The increased thermal radiation in the noon caused the 

thermocline to dive, the strength to increase and the depth to narrow, which 

significantly influenced the dynamic distribution of pH, DO, conductivity and chlorophyll 

a of the epilimnion and the thermocline. The change rule of TP, TN and permanganate index 

during the daytime was not significant. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Carbon nitride is a novel nonmetal semiconductor photocatalyst, which has 

developed into an ideal environmental treatment material in recent years. Graphite carbon 

nitride(g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>) was prepared through pyrolysis melamine, and the 

structure, morphology and optical properties of samples were characterized by X-ray 

diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance 

spectra(UV-Vis DRS). The potential application of g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>in the 

simultaneous photocatalysis reduction of Cr(VI) and oxidation of sulfosalicylic acid(SSA) 

was further explored. And the effects of different conditions such as catalyst dosage, pH 

and initial concentration ratio of Cr(VI) with SSA on the simultaneous photocatalysis 

were also investigated. The results showed that when the catalyst dosage was 0.5 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, pH=2, the initial concentration ratio of Cr (VI) and SSA was 

1&#8758;4(10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>&#8758;40 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), optimal 

simultaneous photocatalysis efficiency was achieved, which was more than 3 times higher 

than that of the separated photoreduction or photooxidation reactions. Within 3 hours, 

the reduction ratio of Cr(VI) and oxidation ratio of SSA could reach 98.9% and 93.4%, 

respectively. The mechanism of simultaneous photocatalysis was discussed. Cr(VI) was 

reduced by electrons and SSA was oxidized by the combined function of hole,

Planctomycetes and Proteobacteria increased from 1.1%, 27.9% in the enrichment stage to 

26.4%, 39.9% in the stable operation stage respectively. In addition, Planctomycetes 

increased significantly. The proportion of Brocadiacea reached 24.57%. Therefore, 

Brocadiacea became the dominant bacteria in the phylum Planctomycete, which contained 

Candidatus brocadia. The alpha diversity index and relative abundance of clustering 

figure indicated that the diversity of microbial community decreased gradually and the

Abstract:This study was aimed to explore the bacterial diversity of cellar water as well 

as to study the relationship between the bacterial diversity and environmental factors. 

The MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze and compare the bacterial 

diversity and community composition of samples from different cellar water samples. 

Overall 1 605 optimized reads were obtained from four samples based on high-throughput 

sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Bacterial species detected in these 

samples covered 22 phyla, 42 classes, 71 orders, 115 families, 146 genera. Analysis 

showed that the bacterial diversity was very high in these samples, and there were 

differences among different samples. The distribution characteristics of the dominant 

bacteria showed patterns of a large number of rare species and a few common types. 

Taxonomic assignment analysis indicated that Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, 

Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, OD1 dominated in the Cellar water, and accounted for 

87.1% to 94.8% at phylum level. The predominant groups were Actinobacteria, 

Acidimicrobiia, Cytophagia, Flavobacteriia, Sphingobacteriia, &alpha;-Proteobacteria, 

&beta;-Proteobacteria, &gamma;-Proteobacteria, Opitutae, Verrucomicrobiae, Pedosphaerae 

and ZB2 at class level. At genus level Rhodobacter, Dechloromonas, Flavobacterium, 

Acinetobacter, Comamonas, Pseudomonas, Hydrogenophaga, et al were the abundant taxa, 

which were mainly denitrifying bacteria and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic 

denitrification bacteria. The result of RDA suggested that the influences of different 

environmental factors on different microbes were different. Bacterial community II had 

significant positive correlation with UV<inf>254</inf>, permanganate index, 

BOD<inf>5</inf>, and Bacterial community III had significant positive correlation with 

TN, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, TP, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N. This research should deepen the understanding on microbial community in Cellar 

water, and provide references for the association of bacterial composition and diversity 

with environmental factors. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Farmland soils in sewage irrigation area at Longkou City were collected, soil pH 

together with the heavy metal content were tested. Taking 70 soil points as the study 

object, this paper investigated the source of heavy metals in this area based on the 

correlation analysis and PCA of multivariate statistical analysis theory. We studied the 

spatial variation and distribution characteristics about heavy metals using both the 

theory of geostatistics and GIS spatial interpolation method. At last, the heavy metal 

pollution was evaluated in the way of Nemerow Index and improved fuzzy evaluation method. 

It turned out that, 9 kinds of heavy metal elements in the soil of research area had a 

certain degree of enrichment, among them the average of Cd was 3.06 times as high as the 

background value, and its enrichment was most severe. The result of Nemerow Index showed 

that, the values of comprehensive pollution index of Cu, Cd and Pb respectively were 

7.06, 6.10 and 5.54, and they all belonged to high levels of pollution. According to the 

results of correlation analysis and principal component analysis, Cu, Zn together with 

Pb, Cd were mainly affected by human factors, sewage irrigation was their common 

pollution factor, the pollution sources for the first two heavy metals included excessive 

use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural production and the 

accumulation of long time, whereas pollution from northern coal mining and coal gangue 

piled up as well as plating, machinery manufacturing and other industrial pollution were 

the pollution sources of the latter two elements. Other elements (Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and As) 

were mainly influenced by natural factors such as parent material. Comprehensive 

evaluation results showed that, among the 70 points, 13 points had moderate pollution, 23 

points belonged to light pollution, 28 points were at alert level, 6 points were in the 

safe range. From the perspective of spatial distribution, high value areas of heavy metal 

contents were mainly concentrated in towns of Zhuyouguan and Xufu. This showed that, 

sewage irrigation caused a certain degree of heavy metal pollution to local soil. &copy;

Abstract:Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is widely used in industrial production because of 

its strong chemical stabilities and good hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. It was 

considered to be a widespread persistent organic pollutant in environment in recent 

years. The oxidative stress and membrane damage of Escherichia coli exposed to PFOA were 

measured by flow cytometry (FCM) and the toxic mechanism of PFOA was also preliminarily 

explored. The results showed that, under the stress of PFOA, the intracellular reactive 

oxygen species (ROS) content of E. coli increased, the unsaturation degree of fatty acid 

decreased, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased, the membrane permeability 

increased, the membrane potential decreased, and the activities of Na<sup>+</sup>K<sup>

+</sup>-ATPase and Ca<sup>2+</sup>Mg<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase showed a compensatory increase 

first and then decreased. Therefore, owing to the stress of PFOA, the higher 

intracellular ROS in E. coli reacted with membrane unsaturated fatty acids by 

peroxidation, and then reduced cell membrane fatty acid saturation, accumulated MDA in 

cells, and further caused damage to cell membrane, reduced the ATPase activity, and 

eventually resulted in inactivation or apoptosis of E. coli. This study provided more 

evidence for the further study on environmental ecological toxicology of PFOA. &copy;

Abstract:Sulfur/dolomite and pyrite/dolomite autotrophic denitrification reactors were 

applied to treat the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plant to explore the 

removal effect, the changes of microbial community, and recovery time of reactors after 

starvation period. It was shown in the results that after 30 d non-water starvation 

endurance, the effluent concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in sulfur/dolomite 

and pyrite/dolomite reactors increased from 1.78 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 11.32 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 27.87 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 26.56 mg&middot;L<sup>-

and pyrite/dolomite reactors recovered within 5 d and 11 d since restarted and could 

maintain a good effect of nitrogen removal at low temperature. MiSeq high throughput 

sequencing results showed that the abundance and diversity of the bacterial communities 

in starvation period in both reactors were lower than those in recovery period. The 

dominating phylum was Proteobacteria in both reactors while the dominating class was 

&beta;-Proteobacteria. Thiobacillus was identified as the main genus for denitrification

bioaccessibility, ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite were used in PBET, SBRC and IVG 

in-vitro experiments in this study. The relationship between arsenic bioavailability in 

gastric, small intestinal phases and arsenic speciation was also studied. The results 

showed that when 1% ferrihydrite was added, arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase was 

2.22%, 5.11% and 7.43% by PBET, SBRC and IVG methods, respectively, while in the small 

intestinal phase it was 3.39%, 2.33% and 6.18%. At an elevated ferrihydrite dosage of 2%, 

significant difference in arsenic bioavailability was observed in both phases 

(P&lt;0.05). According to in vitro experiments, the addition of the same amount of 

different iron minerals had contributed to the decrease in arsenic bioavailability to 

varying extents in contrast with the blank group, in the descending order of ferrihydrite 

(F1)&gt;goethite (G1)&gt;hematite (H1) (F2&gt;G2&gt;H2). Total arsenic in exchangeable 

(F1) and specifically sorbed (F2) state was found positively correlated with arsenic 

bioavailability in gastric phase by PBET, SBRC and IVG methods, the correlation 

coefficient of which being r=0.93, P=0.002, r=0.90, P=0.004 and r=0.89, P=0.006, 

respectively. It was also found that arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase was 

positively correlated with total arsenic in F1 and F2 states by PBET (r=0.94, P=0.001) 

and IVG (r=0.87, P=0.009) methods, but no significant correlation was observed by SBRC 

method. Additionally, three in vitro experiments showed that amorphous iron bound arsenic 

had significant negative correlation with arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase and 

small intestinal phase, except that no correlation was found in small intestinal phase by 

SBRC method. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Formation characteristics and transferring feature of nitrogenous/carbonaceous 

disinfection by-products have been observed under different ozone dosages and pH 

conditions, and essential nature conversion of Algae organic matters has been also 

studied concurrently, based on high algae-laden water. The results showed as follows: 

reduction of Microcystis aeruginosa could reach 36% at the ozonation concentration of 

28.92 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Humic acid-like compounds first increased and then 

decreased with continuing addition of ozone dosage, whereas soluble microbial products, 

fulvic acids and aromatic protein substance all diminished. Low dosage of ozone had 

certain effect on control of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) and trichloroacetonitrile (TCAN) 

formation potential, yet augmented the yield of trichloronitromethane (TCNM) and 1,1,1-

trichloroacetone (1,1,1-TCP) precursors, and N-DBPs formation potential was promoted with 

the increase of ozone dosage. Algae removal efficiency was relatively the best under the 

acidic condition, meanwhile, UV<inf>254</inf>and DOC increased with the rise of pH, 

though the change was not outstanding. Humic acid-like compounds decreased with the rise 

of pH; ozonation could degrade the soluble microbial products and the consequence was 

affected little by the change of pH. DCAN and TCAN formation potential decreased with the 

rise of pH; TCNM formation potential appeared to be the highest when the pH was 10, 

whereas the highest 1,1,1-TCP formation potential was found at pH 7. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To address the problem of low activity for Fe-based Fenton-like catalysts at 

neutral pH, Cu-Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>Fenton-like catalyst was prepared by a simple 

co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction 

(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra 

(UV-vis DRS). The results showed that both Cu<sup>2+</sup>and Cu<sup>+</sup>mainly 

existed in the bulk framework of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>for Cu-

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>with appropriate Cu doping (lower than 4.77% Cu), forming the 

bond of Al-O-Cu, while excessive Cu doping in Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>(e.g. 7.58% Cu) 

could result in the occurrence of extraframework Cu species. The Fenton-like catalytic 

performance of the prepared samples was evaluated by the degradation of 2-chlorophenol 

(2-CP) and Rhodamine B (RhB). The results showed that the catalyst with framework Cu 

species had high catalytic activity and stability for the degradation of 2-CP and RhB. 

After reaction for 2 h, the degradation rate of 2-CP reached up to 54% over Cu-

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>(4.77% Cu) in the presence of H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>, the 

corresponding TOC removal reached 49%, and the Cu release concentration was only 0.0255 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. However, the existence of extraframework Cu in 

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>would lead to the reduction of the catalytic performance. ESR 

analysis showed that &middot;OH and HO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>/O<inf>2</inf><sup>-

&middot;</sup>were the primary active species. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:This study aimed to understand how the physicochemical properties of silver 

nanoparticles (AgNPs) affected its toxicity in the aquatic environment. The morphologies 

of oleylamine-coated AgNPs (4 nm) under environmental and laboratory water conditions 

were studied under transmission electron microscopy, and the results showed oleylamine-

coated AgNPs formed big aggregates in the environmental water samples after 12 h 

equilibration. Dynamic light scattering results also showed that oleylamine-coated AgNPs 

had larger hydrodynamic size in all water samples as compared to its primary size (4 nm). 

Exposure to oleylamine-coated AgNPs inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis (B. 

subtilis) and reduced its cell viability in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth and 0.85% NaCl, 

respectively. A dose-dependent toxicity of AgNPs in B. subtilis was observed in 

laboratorial medium conditions but not in environmental water condition. Low 

concentration of AgNPs exhibited lower toxicity in environmental water samples as 

compared to that in laboratorial medium conditions. Separating AgNPs from bacterial 

suspension through a dialysis membrane enhanced the cell viability of B. subtilis 

significantly. In the environmental water samples, the AgNPs-bacteria interaction would 

be reduced with the formation of big aggregates by AgNPs, which consequently decreased 

its toxicity in aquatic environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is considered a source of 

airborne human pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes. This study collected fecal 

samples and corresponding air samples from inside and outside atmospheric environments of 

layer and broiler feeding operations. We detected the types of 61 genes including five 

classes of antibiotics antibiotic resistance genes (23 genes of ampicillin, 23 genes of 

tetracycline, 5 genes of quinolones, 5 genes of sulfonamides and 2 genes of 

erythromycin), five conditional pathogenic bacteria (Enterococcus, Escherichia coli, 

Staphylococcus, Campylobacter and Clostridium perfringens) and class1 integron. 

Quantitative real time PCR was used to analyze concentrations of typical genes with 

relatively high detection rates. The results indicated that the detection rates of 

antibiotic resistance genes were 8, 7, 2, 3 and 2. At the same time, two kinds of 

pathogenic bacteria were detected. The detection rates of the target genes in the air 

were lower than those of the fecal sample. The total bacterial gene (16S rDNA) 

concentration in the air of layer and broiler was 10<sup>6</sup>copies&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, and that of the other typical genes was about 

10<sup>4</sup>copies&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. And the outdoor concentration was much lower 

than the indoor concentration. The proportions of antibiotic resistance genes and 

conditional pathogenic bacteria in the air were higher than those in the fecal samples 

and the outdoor proportions were lower than the indoor proportions. Preliminary results 

of this study indicated that feces was an important source of antibiotic resistance 

genes, conditional pathogenic bacteria and class1 integron. Aerosolization degrees of 

genes in feces were different. This study will provide the basic data for both source 

tracking of antibiotic resistance genes and pathogens from CAFOs and risk assessment of 

pollution of CAFOs in the surrounding air environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

group; with release rate below 0.02 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Root weight density, root 

length density, root surface area density were major factors, which increased the 

proportion of particles in sediment with diameter of below 50 &mu;m, therefore decreased 

sediment resuspension against hydraulic disturbance; the root system also enriched total 

nitrogen in sediment and absorbed phosphorus from sediment. These five kinds of plants in 

terrestrial-aquatic transverse actually repressed nitrogen and phosphorus release from 

sediment in two ways mentioned above, Paspalum distichum L. and Iris pseudacorus L. 

possessed the best effect due to their developed root system, followed by Leersia

Abstract:Long period start-up is one of the main restraining factors of the single-stage 

completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process. This study 

investigated the fast start-up of the CANON process initiated by a submerged biological 

aerated filter (SBAF) method. With conventional activated sludge from the secondary 

sedimentation tank of municipal waste water treatment plants as the seed sludge, the 

CANON process was successfully started up after the acclimation of sludge microorganisms 

for 48 days under the experimental conditions of (30&plusmn;2)&#8451;,organic carbon free 

and controlled dissolved oxygen(stage I: 0.3-0.5mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; stage II-IV: 

0.1-0.2mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), with the maximum removal rates of ammonia nitrogen and 

total nitrogen achieved at 99.9% and 86.5%, respectively. The population structure 

characteristics of microorganisms in the system were studied using high-throughput 

sequencing of 16S rDNA amplicon. The results demonstrated that the two dominant microbial 

strains in the system were Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes, accounting for 26.6% and 

17.8%, respectively. The major contributors of nitrogen removal were Nitrosomonas in 

&beta;-Proteobacteria and Candidatus brocadia in Brocadiae. Through the above 

experiments, it was revealed that the investigated SBAF based CANON possesses had the 

advantages of fast start-up, efficient biological nitrogen removal and stable operation

Abstract:This study investigated the spectral characteristics of fluorescent dissolved 

organic matter (FDOM) in sediments of Lihu Lake using three-dimensional excitation-

emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (EEMS), and discussed the correlation between 

source of FDOM and organic or inorganic nitrogen. The results indicated that the surface 

sediments in Lihu Lake consisted of three fluorescence fractions (II), humic-like C1

(240,310/420 nm), C2(260,360/460 nm), and tryptophan-like C3(225,275/340 nm). The total 

fluorescence intensity ranged from 49.97 to 159.19 R.U.&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and 

decreased from east to west with higher values in coast district than in lake center. The 

relative proportions of C1, C2, and C3 were 33.63%, 26.87% and 39.49%, respectively. The 

fluorescence index (FI), biological origin index (BIX), and humification index (HIX) 

ranged from 1.96 to 2.22, 0.69 to 0.94, and 2.62 to 4.39. It indicated that the main 

source of FDOM in Lihu Lake was from endogenesis, and mainly derived from microbes, algae 

and other newly autochthonous sources. The results illustrated, the fluorescence 

intensity had significant correlation with organic and inorganic nitrogen(P&lt;0.01), and 

had higher correlation with inorganic nitrogen. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) has been regarded as an efficient process 

to treat high-strength wastewater without organic carbon source. To investigate the 

nitrogen removal performance of ANAMMOX in the presence of organic carbon source can 

broaden its application in organic wastewater treatment. In this work, an anaerobic 

sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was used to study the effect of organic carbon source on 

ANAMMOX process. The experimental results indicated that the activity of anaerobic 

ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AAOB) decreased by 84.2% when 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD 

of glucose was added. When sodium acetate was added, the activity of AAOB was affected 

little. Besides, it even promoted the activity with COD less than 120 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>. The effect of sucrose on ANAMMOX process was similar to that of sodium acetate 

and the maximum specific ANAMMOX activity (SAA) increased by 25.0% with 80 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD. When citric acid was added, the maximum SAA peaked with 80 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD. The order of ANAMMOX promotion resulted from organic carbon 

source was sucrose, sodium acetate, citric acid and glucose. With addition of organic 

carbon source, nitrate could also be removed through the synergy of ANAMMOX and 

denitrification, and the total nitrogen removal efficiency increased. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In order to analyze the composition, distribution and burial characteristics of 

nitrogen in sediments of Dianchi Lake in the last hundred years, 6 sediment cores were 

sampled in July 2014 to determine the contents of different nitrogen species and 

sedimentary age sequence. The integrated results demonstrated a high content of total 

nitrogen in sediments ranging from 1 263.68-7 155.17 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The 

contents of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen were low, which were 10.00-144.00 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 9.20-146.50 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Organic 

nitrogen was the main component in the sediments, ranging from 255.80 to 5 644.25 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, composing a large average percentage of 91.26%. In addition, 

the nitrogen pollution of sediment in Dianchi Lake has reached a high level and is 

becoming serious since 1970s, which surged in the late 1990s. The spatial difference of 

total nitrogen was obvious, with comparably the most in the south, less in the north and 

least in the center. The average deposition rate was changing from 0.092 g&middot;

(cm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.187 g&middot;(cm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>in the last 100 years and increased first, then declined, finally showed a slight 

upward trend over time. The burial rate of total nitrogen in sediment increased over time 

and almost grew up straightly after 1990, which decreased from the south to the north of 

Dianchi Lake in space. It was estimated that the reserves of total nitrogen, organic 

nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen in the sediment were 92 139.15 t, 86 745.62 

t, 2 464.16 t, 2 929.37 t, respectively, from 1900 to 2014. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Methane (CH<inf>4</inf>) and nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) are two of the most 

important non-CO<inf>2</inf>greenhouse gases. And municipal sewage treatment plant is an 

important anthropogenic source of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O. Therefore, it is 

essential to measure the production and emission of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O 

during biological wastewater treatment process. The surface emission flux isolation 

chamber was employed to collect the gas sample from the Xi'an No.3 WWTP (the Orbal 

oxidation ditch process) and Xi'an NO.4 WWTP (A/A/O process) to determine the contents of 

methane and nitrous oxide. And the effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen 

concentration on non-CO<inf>2</inf>greenhouse gases emission from Xi'an NO.4 WWTP were 

discussed. The results showed that methane and nitrous oxide emission factors from No.3 

WWTP were 1 181 mg CH<inf>4</inf>per m<sup>3</sup>influent and 36.20 mg N<inf>2</inf>O 

per m<sup>3</sup>influent, respectively while those from the No.4 WWTP were 209 mg 

CH<inf>4</inf>per m<sup>3</sup>influent and 54.64 mg N<inf>2</inf>O per 

m<sup>3</sup>influent. In addition, the important influencing factors which affected 

methane and nitrous oxide emission were temperature, aeration strategy, DO, nitrite 

oxidation rate and specific methanogenic activity. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Famous as the world cultural heritage, West Lake in Hangzhou city has plenty of 

soft sediments with high organic matter content. To search the countermeasures for 

internal phosphorus release reduction from the sediment, the sediment core incubation was 

conducted to understand the efficacy of Phoslock&#9415; on internal phosphorus release in 

spring, summer and winter, respectively. The results showed that the internal phosphorus 

release fluxes in winter and spring were relatively low, with averaged values in the 

entire lake of 0.13 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and 0.29 mg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, while the release flux was 3.29 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in summer, more than ten times higher than 

those in spring and winter. It was estimated that 23.7 kg of phosphorus could be released 

from sediment in the entire lake every day in summer. Spatially, the phosphorus release 

flux was related to organic matter contents in sediments, but not the phosphorus or 

bioavailable phosphorus contents in sediments in West Lake. With Phoslock&#9415; added at 

the rate of 630 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, sediment phosphorus release was successfully 

controlled, which reduced the phosphorus concentration in the lake water to less than 

0.010 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Especially during summer time, the sediment phosphorus 

release was reduced by 98% after Phoslock&#9415; application. The research suggested that 

Phoslock&#9415; is powerful for phosphorus control even for sediments with high organic 

matter content, which could be considered in ecological restoration of WEst Lake. &copy;

Abstract:The study aimed to find out the dynamic changes of selenium (Se) uptake with 

crops growing and to provide better understanding on the translocation of Se in soil-

plant system. Pot experiments and laboratory analysis were carried out, in which 6 crops 

were planted for eight weeks in the soils treated with selenite and selenate. The results 

showed that there was a significant difference in the plant dynamic uptake pattern for 

selenite and selenate. Se concentration in shoots and roots of all tested plants 

continuously declined with growth since the third week after planting for selenate 

treatment; while Se concentration in roots of plants gradually increased with the growth, 

and that for shoots firstly increased and then leveled off or decreased for selenite 

treatment. Crops could accumulate Se throughout the whole growing period, while 80% of 

the Se in plants was uptaken in the first 6 weeks. Among the 6 tested plants, the Se 

concentration in the shoots and roots of mustard was the highest, followed by the shoots 

of wheat for selenate treatment. The Se concentration in shoots of carrot was the 

highest, while that in roots was the lowest for selenite treatment. For the same Se 

treatment, the Se concentrations in both roots and shoots of broccoli, purple cabbage and 

flowering Chinese cabbage were similar. Broccoli, purple cabbage, flowering Chinese 

cabbage, mustard and wheat had higher translocation ability to transport selenate than 

selenite from roots to shoots, whereas carrot had the same ability for translocating 

selenite and selenate. Biological dilution affected the dynamic changes of the Se content 

in crops, especially for selenate treatment, and a significant negative correlation 

between Se concentration of plants and their biomass further verified this. However, the 

changes of biomass of plants with growing period couldn't explain the total inverse 

dynamic uptake pattern for selenite and selenate. A significant positive correlation was 

observed between Se accumulations amount in six crops with available Se changes in soil 

during the corresponding growing period for selenate treatment, while no such correlation 

was found for selenite treatment. Se accumulation in crops grown on selenite-treated soil 

accounted for 0.5%-18.1% of soil available Se, whereas that in selenate treatment was 

1.1-4.5 times of soil available Se except for carrot. In conclusion, the dynamic changes 

of Se uptake with crop growth were the comprehensive results of the absorption and 

transport capacity of crops, Se availability in soil and biological dilution. It should 

be considered as a whole in the selenium biofortification. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The specific characteristics and mechanism of adsorption of Cu(II) were studied 

by using HAP/C composite (PBGC-HAP/C) as adsorbent, and using pH value of the solution 

system, initial concentration of Cu(II) and particle size of the material as influential 

factors. The results showed that when the solution was weak acid (pH=5), the adsorption 

effect was the best; the increase of the initial concentration of the reaction system was 

not conducive to the enhancement of the adsorption effect; and the decrease of the 

particle size of the adsorbent facilitated the adsorption process. The pseudo-second-

order kinetic model could accurately describe the adsorption process, and the calculated 

adsorption capacity (0.99, 1.93, 4.03 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) was close to the 

experimental measured values (0.99, 1.93, 4.05mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>); Langmuir model 

could fit the adsorption process very well, which indicated that adsorption was monolayer 

adsorption and the increase of temperature was conducive to adsorption. The 

thermodynamics test results of &Delta;G<sup>&theta;</sup>&lt;0, 

&Delta;S<sup>&theta;</sup>&gt;0 and &Delta;H<sup>&theta;</sup>&gt;0 showed that the 

adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Through comparative analysis of the 

SEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR of materials before and after adsorption, the results indicated 

that the chemical complexation reaction of Cu(II) with the oxygen functional groups on 

the surface of PBGC-HAP/C was the main purification mechanism, which was accompanied with 

physical adsorption, electrostatic adsorption and ion exchange. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to investigate the effects of simulated acid rain on soil respiration 

and heterotrophic respiration in a secondary forest, a field experiment was carried out. 

A split-plot experiment was arranged in field. There were 4 blocks; each block had two 

main plots which were trenched and un-trenched plots. In each main plot, 4 simulated acid 

rain treatments of control (CK), pH 4.0 (A1), pH 3.0 (A2), and pH 2.0 (A3) were randomly 

assigned. Soil respiration in the un-trenched plots and heterotrophic respiration in the 

trenched plots were measured weekly. Soil temperature and moisture at a depth of 5 cm 

were measured during the respiration measurements. The results indicated that different 

simulated acid rain treatments exhibited similar seasonal patterns of soil respiration 

and heterotrophic respiration. Heterotrophic respiration in the trenched plots was 

significantly lower than soil respiration in the un-trenched plots. The annual mean soil 

respiration rates for the CK, A1, A2, and A3 treatments in the un-trenched plots were 

(2.47&plusmn;0.31), (2.52&plusmn;0.22), (2.38&plusmn;0.17), and (2.43&plusmn;0.22) 

&mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, while the annual mean 

heterotrophic respiration rates for the 4 treatments in the trenched plots were 

(1.55&plusmn;0.10), (1.65&plusmn;0.22), (1.77&plusmn;0.08), and (1.78&plusmn;0.27) 

&mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. ANOVA showed that 

simulated acid rain had no significant effects on soil respiration in the un-trenched 

plots and heterotrophic respiration in the trenched plots. Regression analysis suggested 

that there was a significant linear regression relationship between soil respiration and 

heterotrophic respiration. Simulated acid rain significantly (P&lt;0.001) decreased the 

ratio of soil respiration to heterotrophic respiration. Soil temperature was the main 

controlling factor regulating the seasonal patterns of soil respiration and heterotrophic 

respiration for each of the SAR treatment, while soil moisture had no significant effects 

on the seasonal variability in soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration. &copy;

Abstract:Pilot-scale performances for ultrafiltration of Dongjiang river water without 

and with micro-coagulation and coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatments were 

conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatments on hydraulic irreversible fouling 

of ultrafiltration short processes. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, high 

performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and fluorescence excitation-emission 

matrix (EEM) were employed to identify foulants responsible for irreversible fouling 

during ultrafiltration with and without pretreatments. The results showed that the 

hydraulic irreversible fouling rate was 0.16 kPa&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>with micro-

coagulation pretreatment at 10 L&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, while the 

rate without pretreatment was 0.32 kPa&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>at the same flux. Meanwhile, 

the fouling rate with coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatment was almost zero 

at the same flux. Furthermore, when the flux increased to 17 L&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, the irreversible fouling was not observable with 

coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatment (backwashing every 24 hours). 

Properties of foulants from external membrane and internal membrane after backwashing 

showed that the protein-like and fulvic-like substances were responsible for irreversible 

fouling in Dongjiang river water. Furthermore, structural alteration of cake layer 

resulted in less cake resistance and higher backwash efficiency after micro-coagulation 

pretreatment, leading to less irreversible fouling. Coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation 

pretreatment decreased irreversible fouling with higher removal efficiency of protein-

like and fulvic substances, which were the foulants responsible for irreversible fouling 

during ultrafiltration. Both micro-coagulation and coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation 

pretreatments decreased irreversible fouling during ultrafiltration short process. &copy;

Abstract:To investigate the effects of zero valent iron (Fe<sup>0</sup>) on the decline 

of antibiotic resistance genes during thermophilic anaerobic digestion of sludge, the 

abundances of seven tetracycline resistance genes (TC-ARGs, including tetA, tetC, tetG, 

tetM, tetO, tetW, and tetX) and class 1 integron gene (intI1) were quantified by 

quantitative PCR (qPCR). Also, the concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were 

determined. The correlations between the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene and the 

concentrations of VFAs were discussed. The results showed that appropriate dose of 

Fe<sup>0</sup>such as 0.10 g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>VSS could enhance the anaerobic 

digestion process of sludge, and the production of total VFAs and acetic acid increased 

significantly. The decrease in the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene was also 

enhanced. However, excessive Fe<sup>0</sup>such as 1.17 g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>VSS could 

not further improve the reduction in the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene, probably 

resulted from the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer. The abundances of TC-ARGs 

except tetO gene, as well as intI1 gene exhibited significant negative correlation with 

the concentration of acetic acid, indicating that acetic acid probably had an enhanced 

effect on the decline of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene during thermophilic anaerobic digestion 

of sludge. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Cave air CO<inf>2</inf>makes notable impacts on the deposition and dissolution 

of speleothem, affecting the stability of carbonate landscape and comfort of tourist in 

show caves. Cave air CO<inf>2</inf>is a key factor of karstification occurrence. Studying 

the mechanism of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>variation is important for understanding the 

pattern of karstification and cave protection. In order to understand the temporal and 

spatial variation characteristics and its possible controlling factors, inside and 

outside cave air CO<inf>2</inf>, hydrogeochemical index, temperature, relative humidity 

as well as precipitation and tourist amount were observed in the Jiguan Cave, which lies 

in the west Henan Province of south-north geographical boundary of China. Nearly five 

years monitoring of air CO<inf>2</inf>of Jiguan Cave was carried out from December, 2011 

to May, 2016. A diurnal monitoring was performed from 19 May, 2016 to 20 May, 2016. The 

results indicated that the cave air CO<inf>2</inf>showed notable spatial and seasonal 

variations. &#9312;From the spatial variation, the sites closer to cave entrances, 

affected by strong cave ventilation, had lower pCO<inf>2</inf>. In addition, the special 

structure of Jiguan Cave and soil air pCO<inf>2</inf>variation, vegetation respiration 

and soil microbial activity, which in turn were associated with changes in climate and 

environment also contributed to the variation of cave air pCO<inf>2</inf>. &#9313; On a 

seasonal scale, cave air CO<inf>2</inf>was higher in summer and lower in winter. This 

variation of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>was mainly influenced by tourism activity as well as 

karstification. &#9314;Tourist amount was the mainly factor that influenced the variation 

of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>on a daily scale. Because of tourism activity, cave air 

CO<inf>2</inf>was increased, and also cave environment was disturbed. All of these 

intimidate the better conservation of cave environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Because of the limited dissolved organic matter removal efficiency in 

conventional pre-ozonation-coagulation process, the hybrid ozonation-coagulation (HOC) 

process was developed for wastewater reclamation in this study. In this process, 

coagulation and ozonation could synchronize within a single unit. Compared with the pre-

ozonation-coagulation process and traditional coagulation process at the same coagulants 

dosage, the HOC process exhibited higher treatment efficiency, especially better organic 

matter removal performance at each pH value, which were 37.96% and 39.66%, respectively. 

In order to obtain the removal mechanism of dissolved organic matters by HOC process, 

ozone decomposition at two pH values either with or without 

AlCl<inf>3</inf>&middot;6H<inf>2</inf>O was monitored in this study. The results showed 

that higher pH and the addition of coagulant could accelerate ozone decay. In addition, 

para-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) was chosen as the hydroxyl radical (&middot;OH) probe 

compound to indirectly calculate the &middot;OH exposure. The results revealed that the 

HOC process was involved in &middot;OH reaction and coagulant could promote ozone 

decomposition due to its enhancing effect on &middot;OH production during the ozonation 

process. Furthermore, the ozone depletion occurred more quickly at high pH due to its 

reaction with hydroxide ions (OH<sup>-</sup>), leading to the formation of &middot;OH 

through a series of chain reactions. Moreover, the effects of tert-butanol, a well-known 

&middot;OH inhibitor on ozone decay and p-CBA decomposition were also investigated. The 

results indicated that ozone depletion and p-CBA decomposition were significantly 

inhibited by tert-butanol, which further proved that ozone was decomposed into &middot;OH 

radicals through chain reactions. In the HOC process, Al-based coagulants and hydrolyzed 

products could act as catalysts to enhance ozone decomposition into &middot;OH which is a 

powerful oxidant to improve the organics removal efficiency. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:To investigate the dry deposition pattern of particulate matter and lead in 

urban Beijing, dry deposited particles were collected based on a surrogate surface 

between December 2013 and November 2014 and subjected to elemental analysis by using 

microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results showed 

that dry deposition fluxes of particle mass and total lead were 0.84 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>and 7.56 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, with a seasonal trend of spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn~summer, 

exhibiting a similar temporal pattern to that of coarse particles. In addition, dry 

deposition flux of water-soluble lead was 3.14 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>. It was found that the ratio of soluble fraction to total lead in dry deposited 

particles reached up to 43%, coinciding with a seasonal variation of ambient sulfur 

dioxide. The findings highlighted the anthropogenic imprints on the dry deposition flux 

of particles and heavy metals as well as the solubility of lead. This study also provides 

a first-hand dataset that can be used to assess ecological and environmental impacts of 

dry deposited lead, and an up-to-date scientific basis for the crafting abatement 

strategies to further reduce emission of heavy metals in China. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from 11 sampling sites in the coastal 

city group along western Taiwan Straits region, China, and these heavy metal elements 

(Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, As) were detected using particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) 

method. The pollution characteristics, enrichment factors and source apportionment of 

heavy metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were analyzed, and furthermore, their human health risks 

were determined. The result showed concentration distribution was obviously different 

between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and heavy metals in the city group, for the main sources (e.g. 

construction dust and ground dust) for PM<inf>2.5</inf>were not the main contribution to 

these heavy metals. The enrichment factors of Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, Cr, As exceeded 10, 

which suggested these metals were enriched and significantly impacted by anthropogenic 

pollution. Three main groups of heavy metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were identified by 

principal component analysis (PCA-MLR), such as coal combustion and traffic emissions 

(70.59%), multiple sources (coal and oil combustion, pyrometallurgical process, 17.55%) 

and other industry (11.86%). The risk levels for carcinogenic heavy metals (Ni, Cr, As) 

and non-carcinogenic heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn) were lower than the average level of 

risk acceptance (10<sup>-6</sup>), which suggested these heavy metals did not cause harm 

to human health in these cities. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Kaolin commonly exists in water, and it has an important impact on the water 

treatment processes and contaminants'migration and transformation. In this study, PAC was 

used as flocculating agent to systematically investigate the effects of UV radiation on 

the coagulation process of kaolin by jar test. The results showed that under neutral and 

acidic conditions, UV radiation could promote the coagulation process of kaolin 

suspension. When the solution pH, coagulant dosage and irradiation time were 7.0, 30 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 2.0 h, respectively, the kaolin remove rate of effluent after 

coagulation increased from 81.05% to 93.90% by using UV radiation. This might be related 

to the decrease of -OH stretching vibration absorption peak and the enhancement of Si-O 

stretching vibration absorption peak and Si-O bending vibration absorption peak after UV 

radiation, so that the number of the active spot(-OH)on kaolin surface declined. These 

changes might lead to decrease of the negative charge on kaolin surface, which promoted 

kaolin suspension to precipitate in coagulation process. However, under alkaline 

conditions, its settlement performance was slightly lower than the water samples without 

ultraviolet radiation treatment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to better understand the effects of nitrogen application on 

accumulation, translocation and distribution of selenium in winter wheat and to provide 

theoretical reference for reasonable nitrogen application and increasing selenium content 

of grains. A pot experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions with Se1 (0.74 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) or Se2 (2.60 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) levels of selenium, 

and each Se treatment was supplied with N1 (100 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) or N2 (200 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) levels of nitrogen, respectively. Selenium concentrations and 

biomass amounts of different parts of wheat were determined at jointing and maturity 

stage. The results showed that grain yield increased with increasing nitrogen levels by 

13.2% and 24.0% in Se1 and Se2 treatment, respectively. Regardless of N rate, Se 

concentration of wheat increased with raising Se amended rate (P&lt;0.01). Increasing 

nitrogen application could promote Se uptake of root and thus increase the selenium 

concentration of wheat grains and leaves, which was greater in Se1 treatment than in Se2 

treatments. Se concentrations in wheat grain increased by 22.6% and 12.1% with the 

increasing N application rate in low and high Se treatment, respectively. The 

distribution ratios of Se in each organ ranked the same as BCFs, following the order of 

leaf&gt;grain&gt;glume&gt;root. Increasing N fertilization increased the distribution 

ratio of Se in grains by 11.1% and 25.9% in low and high selenate treatments, 

respectively. High nitrogen fertilization could promote uptake and translocation of Se in 

wheat under low Se conditions, and improve Se use efficiency as well in the agricultural 

production. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:There are lots of problems in the domestic remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated 

soil field, such as lack of the key processing parameters, poor long-term effect and so 

on. The Cr(VI) heavy polluted surface soil was sampled from an electroplating site in 

North-China, and then treated with five different reducing reagents. At the same time, 

the on-line ORP probes and interval sampling test were chosen to monitor the reaction 

process, and to explore the reaction rate and effect. The results showed that No.4 

reagent had the highest Cr(VI) reduction effect, reaching up to 99.5%, and the minimum 

soil Cr(VI) concentration could reach 2.4 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The No.1 and No.4 

reagents had relatively faster reducing rates. There were obvious difference in ORP and 

pH monitoring values between different reductants, for example, the No.1 reagent kept the 

ORP value stable at around -400 mV. The No.4 reagent gradually increased the value from 

-200 mV to 100 mV since 30h, and then kept stable. According to the pH difference among 

different reductants, the No.4 reagent was the best and kept the pH value at around 7. 

Taking together the final effect and process key parameters, the No.4 reagent was the 

best. The scale-up experiment was operated with process monitoring, and the ORP and 

conductivity values showed that the reduction reaction took about 160 h. This work would 

provide theoretical basis for controlling the maintenance condition and reaction process 

in soil Cr(VI) remediation. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To study the seasonal change characteristics and form composition of nitrogen 

and phosphorus output concentration and pollutant discharge load with rainfall 

characteristics at the outlet of Gufu river small watershed, the quality and quantity of 

water combined with natural rainfall events were monitored from January to December 2014. 

The results showed that the annual runoff volume of the Gufu river small watershed was 

0.6&times;10<sup>8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>. The runoff was concentrated in raining season 

(from July to September), accounting for 63.9%. There was significant(P&lt;0.01) positive 

correlation between the runoff flow and the annual rainfall. The annual emission of total 

nitrogen (TN) was 1 432 t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>, and the emission was 853 

t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>during the raining season, accounting for 59.6% of annual TN 

emission content. The dissolved nitrogen was the main form of nitrogen emission, and the 

emission load of each month accounted for 55.4%-91.3% of TN. The positive correlation 

between the nitrate nitrogen concentration and rainfall was significant (P&lt;0.05). The 

annual emission of total phosphorus (TP) was 563.1 t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>, and the 

content during the raining season accounted for 78.6% of TP annual emission content. The 

particle phosphorus (PP) was the main form of phosphorus emission, and the emission load 

of each month accounted for 41.9%-79.5% of TP. There was significant(P&lt;0.01) positive 

correlation between the annual rainfall, sediment and TP, PP. The correlation between the 

total dissolved phosphorus concentration and rainfall was significant (P&lt;0.05). &copy;

Abstract:Fine particles(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) collected by two middle volume air samplers in 

the suburbs of Baoding and the urban area of Beijing during Jan 10<sup>th</sup>to 

17<sup>th</sup>, 2015, were used to compare the community characteristics of cultivable 

bacteria in the two sites. In this study, we observed the particle morphology of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), analyzed the 

air mass transportation source of the two sampling sites by the NOAA/ARL HYSPLIT-4 

backward trajectory model, and measured the concentrations of the major water-soluble 

ions and heavy metal elements in the PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples using ion chromatography, 

continuous flow analyzer and ICP-MS. The results indicated that, the cultivable bacteria 

of PM<inf>2.5</inf>contained three phyla, which were Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and 

&alpha;-Proteobacteria. Nine genera and 17 species of cultivable airborne bacteria were 

isolated and identified. The most abundant phylum was Firmicutes. The Gram-positive 

bacteria accounted for more than 90%. The spore-forming Bacillus which was the dominant 

species contributed 68.15% and 75% to the total bacteria in urban Beijing and the suburbs 

of Baoding, respectively. The difference in the community structure of PM<inf>2.5</inf>'s 

cultivable bacteria in the two sampling areas may be affected by PM<inf>2.5</inf>'s 

physical and chemical properties and air mass transportation. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Mercury (Hg) in the aquatic environment is easy to accumulate in fish. In order 

to study the effect of the sediments on Hg accumulation in fish in the water-level-

fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, we conducted a 90-days simulated flooding 

experiment by using the sediments with different concentrations of Hg. Our study showed 

that the concentrations of the total mercury (THg) and methyl mercury (MeHg) in the 

overlying water increased after flooding, and the concentrations in the muscle of fish 

kept increasing in the period of experiment, the concentrations in the viscera and head 

increased in the earlier period but seemingly decreased in the later period. The 

bioaccumulated Hg content in the fresh was higher than that in the viscera and head, 

between which there was no significant difference. Compared with the control group (no 

sediment), the presence of sediments obviously increased the content of Hg bioaccumulated 

in fish, and the bioaccumulated Hg level increased with the Hg concentrations in 

sediment. The THg and MeHg in different fish parts presented a similar variation trend 

with the BCF ranging 1.93&times;10<sup>5</sup>-8.89&times;10<sup>5</sup>for MeHg and 

1.3&times;10<sup>3</sup>-12.8&times;10<sup>3</sup>for inorganic mercury, indicating that 

MeHg was more prone to accumulate in fish. The MeHg in fish was significantly related 

with THg, and accumulated MeHg occupied about 80.1% (muscle), 79.3% (visceral) and 66.7% 

(head) of increased THg. After the reflooding of the sediment in the water-level-

fluctuating zone, net methylation could occur with MeHg as the product, and then MeHg 

would diffuse to overlay water, further increasing the Hg bioaccumulation in fish. 

Therefore, the potential pollution risk of Hg in the water-level-fluctuationg zone with 

large area of the Three Gorges Reservoir cannot be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The long term and high dosage application of livestock manure may result in 

heavy metal accumulation and migration in the soil, which may endanger food security and 

affect the top soil heavy metal environmental capacity. Thus, one of the most important 

tasks for prevention of soil heavy metal pollution is scientific determination of the 

safe use load of heavy metals in livestock manure. A 4-year field plot experiment was 

carried out to quantitatively study the accumulation and migration characteristics of 

heavy metals from pig and chicken manure in soil profiles and the differences of 

bioavailability. The results showed that the contents of Cu and Cd increased 

significantly by 43.8%-118.6% and 28.2%-44.9% in topsoil(0-15 cm) after 4-consecutive 

year application of pig manure, and the contents of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, As, Pb also increased 

by 29.7%-48.5%, 239%-456%, 19.9%-80.8%, 40.4%-163%,11.8%-22.0% and 80.3%~95.0% obviously 

after application of chicken manure. The accumulation rates of Cu and Zn in topsoil were 

76.4%-119% and 14.2%-20.4% with pig manure, 72.1%-88.7% and 63.9%-78.9% with chicken 

manure. Under a high dosage of pig and chicken manure, Cu and Zn migrated to a deeper 

soil evidently. Applying 60 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of pig manure after 4-consecutive 

year, Cu could migrate to 15-30 cm soil layer, Zn migrated to 30-60 cm soil layer with 

chicken manure. Except topsoil, the contents of Cr, Cd, As, Pb did not significantly 

increase in other soil layers. 4-year continuous application of chicken manure 

significantly decreased the contents of Cu and Cd, but increased the contents of Zn and 

Cr in wheat grain and the content of Zn in wheat straw. Pig manure significantly 

decreased the content of Zn in wheat grain, but increased As content with 60 

t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, the contents of Cu and As in wheat straw also increased 

significantly. Besides, the cumulative rate of heavy metals in wheat was no more than 6%, 

wheat grain carried out more Cu, Zn than straw, but the Cd, Cr, As, Pb were opposite. The 

cumulative rate of heavy metals in wheat decreased with the increasing application of 

manure. This research has an important significance in scientific determination of the 

heavy metal loads of plow layer, ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural 

production, and providing a scientific basis for the source control of soil heavy metal 

pollution and the safety production of agricultural goods. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The consumption of vegetables is a probable cause of Cd exposure in several 

world areas including China. In this study, we selected the prefecture of Youxian, 

southern China, as a case to analyze the influences of various environmental factors on 

Cd accumulation in vegetables based on a large scale agricultural and climatologically 

survey and collection of 585 irrigation water and 625 paired soil-vegetables samples. The 

results showed the concentration of Cd differed greatly in the irrigation water, soil and 

vegetables. The average daily dose for the adult populations consumed vegetables cropping 

in affected areas was slightly above the tolerable daily intake level, suggesting a 

potential health risk. The vegetables Cd uptake factor followed the natural lognormal 

distribution, and had a 10 percentile probability of higher than 1. The PUF values 

exhibited comparable results and appeared to define a reasonable and consistent Cd risk 

assessment. Many environmental variables (soil pH, soil organic matter, cation-exchange 

capacity, rainfall, water pH, and nitrogenous fertilizer usage) exhibited significant 

correlations with the concentrations of Cd in the soil-vegetable system. The canonical 

corresponding analysis and path model analysis found that soil pH and soil organic matter 

(SOM) had major direct effects on PUF. The close correlations between rainfall, water pH, 

nitrogen fertilizer usage and PUF were mainly resuled from the direct effect of soil pH 

and SOM. The high field-moisture capacity in the study area generated a rapid 

acidification causing the migration of Cd to weaker bounding sites thus promoting the 

vegetables uptake. The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers led to a substantial 

loss of SOM and worsening of soil acidification ultimately causing increasing Cd 

accumulation in vegetables. Considering that the soil pH and SOM in the study area were 

maintained at a low level, the accumulation risk of Cd in soil-vegetable system needs to 

be addressed. The influence of environmental factors on vegetables accumulating Cd needs 

to be fully considered for better and safer vegetables production. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Two different sludge composting products (with and without biochar) were applied 

in field to study the variations of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in soil 

and plants, as well as their migration in the soil-plant system and accumulation ability 

in plants during the sludge compost land use process. The results indicated that the 

concentrations THg and MeHg in soil increased after applying sewage sludge compost 

products, while the THg level was still lower than the secondary standard of national 

soil environmental quality. Biochar was speculated to probably promote the soil mercury 

methylation with lower MeHg/THg ratios in different soil treatments. THg concentrations 

in mature plants were significantly lower than those in seedling stage, but MeHg levels 

were higher than those in seedling stage. An obvious influence of composting on MeHg 

enrichment in plants was observed, and this similar effect was not found for THg 

enrichment. MeHg concentration in the soils applied with biochar compost was 

significantly higher than that without applying biochar compost soil, while MeHg in plant 

presented a contrary trend with higher level observed in no-biochar compost soil, 

suggesting that the addition of biochar could be in favour of soil MeHg formation and 

inhibit the MeHg accumulation in plants by influencing its migration. Since a strong MeHg 

accumulation ability with BCF of 1.24-14.63 was present in plant, the mercury ecological 

risk in soil environment caused by long-term fertilizing should be noticed. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In the present study, the accumulation and biotransformation of arsenate in 

typical freshwater algae species were examined under long-term influence of titanium 

dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>). Results showed that different algae species 

had largely varied capacities of accumulation and biotransformation of arsenate. The 

arsenic accumulation reached (819.66&plusmn;11.25) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>DW in 

Scenedesmus obliquus, which was higher than that in Microcystis aeruginosa of 

(355.95&plusmn;8.31) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>DW. Nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>increased arsenic 

accumulation in these exposed algae species, and then reduced arsenic levels in the 

relative culture media. Furthermore, nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>improved arsenic 

biotransformation in the exposed algae, and the organic arsenic was dimethylarsinous acid 

(DMA) and monomethylarsonous acid (MMA) in Microcystis aeruginosa and Scenedesmus 

obliquus, respectively. Additionally, the release of organic arsenic was lower from the 

exposed algae in nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>treatments than in the control, indicating that 

nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>couldn't stimulate the release of organic arsenic from algae under 

long-term exposure. These results could improve insights on the ecological risk of nano-

TiO<inf>2</inf>associated with arsenic in the environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

SRT were studied by inoculation ANAMMOX granules of different proportions in two same 

specifications of SBR reactor. During the experiment, the temperature was controlled at 

30&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451; and pH was 7-8. The results showed that it was not good for 

CANON process rapid start-up when the two reactors were inoculated with 5% and 10% 

ANAMMOX granules respectively and the initial FA concentration exceeded 44 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. When the two reactors were inoculated with 5% and 10% ANAMMOX 

granular sludge, the reactors were started-up successfully on Day 46 and Day 35, 

respectively. When the flocs SRT was maintained at 30 d, 90 d and un-initiative discharge 

respectively, the average total nitrogen removal rate could reach 0.35 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>stably. The quantitative PCR results of the three 

different flocs SRT showed that with increasing flocs SRT, the abundance of AOB was 

relatively stable, the abundance of ANAMMOX increased slightly, while the abundance of 

NOB significant increased. Therefore, it is necessary to elutriate flocs from reactor for 

decreasing the quantity of NOB and long-term stable operation of the CANON process.

Abstract:A pilot-scale study with conventional water treatment and ozone-biological 

activated carbon (O<inf>3</inf>-BAC) treatment was conducted to evaluate the impact of 

ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>) addition on the bromate and 

disinfection by-products formation potential (DBPFP) control, with bromide containing 

water as raw water. It was found that bromate concentration would exceed 10.00 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>as ozone doses were higher than 1.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>under different water qualities. Ammonia and H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>could 

effectively control bromate formation and bromate concentration decreased as ammonia and 

H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>doses increased. Bromate concentration could be controlled 

below 10.00 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>as ammonia dose was 0.10-0.30 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>or the m(H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>)/m(O<inf>3</inf>) was 0.2-1.0. However, as 

ammonia-H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was combined for the same purpose, bromate increased 

firstly and then decreased. Ammonia addition would not significantly affect the THMFP 

control but H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>application would depress the efficiency of THMFP 

removal. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Schwertmannite is usually naturally found in acidic mining wastewater and 

frequently used in the adsorption of heavy metal anions from water and wastewater. 

Schwertmannite was synthesized through a facile chemical method and utilized to remove 

Cr(VI) from contaminated groundwater. The kinetics, thermodynamics and isotherms, as well 

as the effects of environmental factors on the Schwertmannite adsorption processes were 

investigated. The experimental results showed that the synthesized Schwertmannite had a 

strong adsorption capability of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. At the pre-set initial 

concentrations of Cr(VI), the Schwertmannite adsorption of Cr(VI) achieved equilibrium 

within 24 h, and the Lagergren's second-order model fitted the adsorption process better 

compared to Lagergren's first-order model and intraparticle diffusion model. Langmiur 

equation fitted the adsorption isotherms better than Freundlich equation. The Cr(VI) 

adsorption on Schwertmannite mainly involved ion exchange reaction between Cr(VI) and 

anions such as OH<sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and surface complexation 

reactions. The &Delta;H<sup>&theta;</sup>and &Delta;G<sup>&theta;</sup>were 6.368 

kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>and -1.215 kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, therefore 

the adsorption of Cr(VI) was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The removal of Cr(VI) 

from aqueous solution increased with increasing Schwertmannite dosage at pH =4.5. Acidic 

pH in the range of 4.5-6 favored Cr(VI) removal with Schwertmannite compared to that 

under basic conditions. Under the conditions of 5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of initial Cr

(VI) concentration, 0.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of Schwertmannite dosage, pH=6, maximum 

Cr(VI) removal of 93.1% was achieved and the adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) with 

Schwertmannite reached up to 40.4 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Batch tests showed that the 

presence of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>inhibited the 

adsorption of Cr(VI) while Cl<sup>-</sup>had no significant impact. Cations and natural 

organic matter had a pH-dependent impact on Cr(VI) removal: at pH=8 natural organic 

matter and cations would significantly inhibit the Cr(VI) sorption, while the impact 

could be neglected at weak acidic conditions (pH=6). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Studying particle size distribution and dispersion characteristics of cooking 

oil fume can help to analyze the influence of the particles on indoor air quality and the 

health of the residents. Electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI) was employed to measure 

the number and mass concentration of the particles size range of 0.03-10 &mu;m at two 

different locations in the kitchen space with smoke exhaust on and off, respectively. The 

cooking particles were mostly located at below 655 nm. The smoke exhaust with open 

condition could remarkably decrease the kitchen's cooking fume. The number concentration 

of particles decreased from 2.8&times;10<sup>6</sup>cm<sup>-3</sup>to 

2.3&times;10<sup>5</sup>cm<sup>-3</sup>, and PM<inf>2.5</inf>(aerodynamics diameter 

&le;2.5 &mu;m particulate matter) mass concentrations decreased from 85.9 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>to 6.2 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The sucking efficiency of smoke 

exhaust for PM<inf>10</inf>was higher than PM<inf>2.5</inf>. The number concentration of 

particles could be declined by 65%, and the cooking fume of PM<inf>2.5</inf>could be 

declined by 75% during the diffusion process detected at the area of 3 m far away from 

the area where cooking took place. The distribution of PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass concentration 

field of oil fume was simulated by computational fluid dynamics. The temperature field 

distribution of oil fume was monitored by infrared camera, presenting sector diffusion 

with the temperature decreasing from 70&#8451; to room temperature. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The use of sewage sludge compost(SSC)as fertilizer may cause increased leaching 

due to its high content of heavy metals and thus pose a threat to groundwater quality. 

The effect of SSC application on heavy metals leaching in calcareous soils has been 

studied in field trials, which provides basis for determining heavy metals environmental 

capacity and preventing metal pollution in farmland soil scientifically. The results 

indicated that the contents of Cu, Zn elevated obviously with the increase of the age and 

the dosage of SSC utilization in the topsoil(0-15 cm) under 4-year continuous application 

of SSC. Under higher levels of the compost treatment, the heavy metals Cu and Zn were 

found to migrate into the 15-30 cm soil and 60-90 cm soil under the experimental 

condition. Nevertheless, the majority of Cu and Zn from SSC accumulated in topsoil and 

the highest accumulation rates could reach 75.3% for Cu and 85.9% for Zn. The contents of 

Cd, Pb increased significantly in topsoil after 4-year continuous application of SSC, and 

their increases could reach 57.2%-165.2% for Cd and 13%-34% for Pb compared with CK. At 

60-90 cm soil, the contents of Cr, As and Pb were also significantly higher than those in 

CK treatment. Application of SSC not only caused accumulation of some heavy metals in 

topsoil but also leached heavy metals located in the subsurface soil down in this 

experiment. Continuous utilization of SSC increased Zn concentration of wheat grain, and 

the increase could reach 13.3%-47.9%. For the concentrations of Cr and Pb in wheat grain, 

the values exceeded the national food and healthy standards value (GB 2762-2012) in part 

of compost treatments. The cumulative ratio of heavy metals carried out by wheat were all 

below 10% after 4-year experiment, wheat grain carried much more Cu, Zn out than wheat 

straw, but it was opposite for Cr, As, Cd, Pb. The cumulative ratio of heavy metals 

carried by wheat decreased with the increasing level of SSC utilization. The amounts of 

heavy metals migrated to deeper soil should be considered when determining the 

environmental capacity of heavy metals in farmland soil. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:To study the efficiency and mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus removal for 

decentralized rural sewage in modified zeolite wetland, the modified zeolite was applied 

as substrate into a combined process composed of anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and 

baffled flow constructed wetland (BFCW), providing a new way for rural sewage treatment 

in Suzhou City. The study was contrasted with zeolite wetland. The results showed that 

the modified zeolite wetland had high efficiency and stability of nitrogen and phosphorus 

removal, and the nitrogen and phosphorus removal quantities of modified zeolite wetland 

were 1.8% and 1 times higher than those of zeolite wetland during the trial. The modified 

zeolite wetland mainly removed nitrogen and phosphorus by substrate adsorption, and the 

main fractions of modified zeolite were Ca-P and Al-P. The oxygen-secretion and 

absorption of plants stabilized the water quality of the effluent. The substrate 

adsorption was the main nitrification removal pathway in front of the wetland, and 

nitrification and denitrification were the main nitrification removal pathways at the end 

of the wetland. The nitrogen and phosphorus adsorption capacities during the pilot test 

were much higher than those of the static test. The optimization of phosphorus adsorption 

capacity for modified zeolite was achieved under the synergy of multiple pathways. The 

effect of configuration and plant root was the main reason for the difference of nitrogen 

and phosphorus adsorption quantities. Nitrification intensity led to the seasonal 

fluctuation of nitrogen removal effect and stability in modified zeolite wetland, and the 

low nitrification intensity in the front of wetland was related to the strong adsorption 

of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N by the modified zeolite. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Two parallel biological aerated filters (BAF)-ozonation, named as number 1 

(feeding with FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O) and number 2, were used to treat 

petrochemical secondary effluent. The effect of FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O 

on COD and phosphorus removal by BAF-ozonation was studied. Molecular weight 

distribution, three-dimensional fluorescence scan and gas chromatography-mass 

spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze water quality before and after BAF-ozonation. 

The results showed the average COD and TP concentrations were 82.91 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and 1.37 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. When the dosage of 

FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O was 9 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the average 

removal rates of COD and TP were 52.20% and 71.50%, respectively. The average COD removal 

rate in number 1 combined process was 17.15%, which was higher than that in number 2 

combined process. The TP removal rate in number 1 combined process was increased by 

51.81%. The percentage of dissolved organic matters with relative molecular weight less 

than 1&times;10<sup>3</sup>was 52% in the raw wastewater. However, the percentage 

increased to 75% when treated by number 1 combined process and the removal rate of 

various molecular weight organics was increased. Three-dimensional fluorescence analysis 

showed that the dosage of FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O could improve the 

removal of fluorescent substances. GC-MS results showed that the number and concentration 

of organics were reduced after number 1 combined process in comparison with number 2 

combined process. BAF-ozone could be enhanced by FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O 

when treating petrochemical secondary effluent. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment have gradually engendered 

extensive concern recently due to the harm caused to environment and human beings. In 

this study, two sulfonamides resistant bacteria isolated from secondary effluents of a 

municipal wastewater treatment plant were used to compare the efficacy of three different 

disinfection processes (chlorination, ultraviolet and ozone) in reducing sulfonamides 

resistance pollution using serial dilution plate counting method and qPCR. The behavior 

characteristics of sulfonamides resistance genes during the disinfection process were 

elucidated using disinfection+DNase I treatment. The results showed that all three 

disinfection techniques could reduce the concentration of target bacteria, but the 

abundance of sulfonamides resistance genes was still at a high level. Furthermore, 

chlorination disinfection might reduce sulfonamides resistance genes by reducing 

microbial biomass. Ultraviolet disinfection could damage genes directly. However, during 

ozone disinfection, sulfonamides resistance genes would escape to environment, and its 

potential environmental risks could not be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Size-resolved filter samples were collected in Sanya every other week from June 

2012 to May 2014. The mass concentrations of water-soluble inorganic ions, including 

anions (Cl<sup>-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>) and 

cations (Na<sup>+</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, 

Ca<sup>2+</sup>) were measured by ion chromatography. The results showed that the total 

concentrations of measured water-soluble inorganic ions were (8.91&plusmn;7.27) and 

(11.34&plusmn;9.37) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in PM<inf>2.1</inf>and PM<inf>2.1-9</inf>, 

respectively. In PM<inf>2.1</inf>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>comprised 72.2% of all water-soluble inorganic ions, while in PM<inf>2.1~9</inf>, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>and Na<sup>+</sup>comprised 67.6% of all water-soluble 

inorganic ions. In PM<inf>2.1</inf>, the total concentrations of water-soluble inorganic 

ions had highest concentrations in winter and lowest concentrations in summer. In 

PM<inf>2.1~9</inf>, the total concentrations of water-soluble inorganic ions presented 

the highest concentrations in summer. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>showed bimodal size distributions and the peaks in the fine mode shifted from 

0.43-0.65 &mu;m in spring, summer and autumn to 0.65-1.1 &mu;m in winter. 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>and 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>were unimodal with the peaks in the coarse mode of 4.7-9.0 &mu;m. K<sup>

+</sup>showed bimodal size distribution with the fine mode at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m and the 

coarse mode at 4.7-5.8 &mu;m. PCA analysis showed that water-soluble inorganic ions were 

mainly affected by the secondary formation, sea salt and soil particles or falling dust.

Abstract:River sediments is a valuable environmental medium for characterizing 

contamination of heavy metals in the western areas of Taihu Basin and the associated 

risks to human health. We collected samples of typical inflow river sediments from 

nineteen sites during different water periods. The results showed that the concentrations 

of heavy metals in the river sediments followed the order of 

Zn&gt;Cr&gt;Cu&gt;Pb&gt;Ni&gt;As&gt;Cd&gt;Hg. Compared to the background concentrations, 

the mean concentrations of Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb seriously exceeded the standard values. 

Except for As, the highest concentrations of heavy metals (Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, Hg) 

were found in the samples from normal water period. The metal (Cd) presented moderate 

pollution degree and ecological risks,and the RI value of Cd accounted for about 47% of 

the total RI value. The mPEC-Q values of the sediments were in the range of 0.12-0.76, 

and the mean value was 0.3, indicating that the sediments in all of the sampling sites 

had a 15%-29% probability of toxicity. In terms of the highest value of the heavy metals, 

higher concentrations, I<inf>geo</inf>, mPEC-Q and PCA values were found at the S2 

sampling sites. The results showed that effects of synergism of heavy metals pollutants 

on the point were found in the paper, which will provide scientific basis for control of 

heavy metal pollution in the Taihu Basin. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To elucidate succession pattern of phytoplankton in the Daning River and its 

driving factors, multivariate statistical analysis was conducted. By using the monitoring 

data in different seasons of Daning river during April 2012 to January 2013, this paper 

analyzed the succession pattern of phytoplankton in the Daning River and its driving 

factors in typical tributaries of river-style reservoirs. According to the 

characteristics of water level, the operational period of the TGR was classified into 

following four stages: stage I (pre-November-April), stage II (May-July), stage III 

(July-September) and stage IV (September-November). (1)The results indicated that the 

values of Chlorophyll-a concentrations and algal density showed similar seasonal 

variations, with the highest values occurring in stage III, followed by stages IV, II and 

I. Succession of C-R-S growth strategies was the same generally: CR-R type dominated in 

stage I, CS, CR/CS and R-CR dominated in stage II, III and IV, respectively. (2)The mean 

values of Margalef index and Pielou index in stage IV and III were significantly greater 

than those in stage II and I; the value of Shannon-waver index showed that the highest 

value in stage III, followed in a descending order by stage I, II and IV; the 

successional rate had the highest value in stage IV, followed in descending order by 

stage III, I and II. (3) The results of Correlation analysis suggested that no 

significant relationships were observed between the environmental parameters and 

phytoplankton abundance in stage I. The results indicated that relative water column 

stability(RWCS), index of feasible energy for phytoplankton (E<inf>t</inf>) and index of 

feasible energy (Ef<sup>*</sup>) were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton community 

in stage I. The results indicated that E<inf>t</inf>, Ef<sup>*</sup>and total phosphorus 

(TP) were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton abundance in stage II. The results of 

the redundancy analysis (RDA) suggested that RWCS, TP and the ratio of euphotic depth 

[D<inf>eu</inf>(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)] to mixing depth (D<inf>mix</inf>)

[D<inf>eu</inf>(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>] were key regulatory factors for 

phytoplankton community composition in stage II. The results indicated that 

Ef<sup>*</sup>and TP were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton abundance in stage 

III. The results of the RDA suggested that [D<inf>eu</inf>

(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>], E<inf>t</inf>, Ef<sup>*</sup>and TP were key 

regulatory factors for phytoplankton community composition in stage III. The results 

indicated that TP was key regulatory factor for phytoplankton abundance in stage IV. The 

results of the RDA suggested that [D<inf>eu</inf>

(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>] was key regulatory factor for phytoplankton 

community composition in stage IV. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the impacts of bioremediation on 

microbial communities and various nitrogen shifts in petroleum contaminated soil by using 

GC-MS and Illumia MiSeq technique. Results showed the concentrations of alkane reduced 

from 25 987.8 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 12 788.6 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and the 

concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) decreased from 5 322.9 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 2 917.2 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Illumia MiSeq results 

showed that soil microbial communities shifted significantly after remediation, and the 

relative abundance of some phylum of hydrocarbon degraders (Firmicutes, Bacterodetes), 

and some genus of degraders (Dietzia, Acinetobacter) increased. Besides, the contents of 

total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen increased firstly and then decreased during 

remediation. However, the contents of nitrate nitrogen decreased at the early stage, and 

then kept stable in the later stage of remediation. It can be concluded that 

bioremediation effectively promoted petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, and the different 

fractional hydrocarbon degradation was related to the relative abundance of hydrocarbon 

degraders and available nitrogen contents. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The soil microbial community and soil enzyme activity are important parts of 

soil ecosystem, and they are sensitive to the ecological environment. In this study, 

citrus plantation in Mt. Jinyun was chosen as the research object. The phospholipid fatty 

acid (PLFAs) combined with principal component analysis method was used to study the 

effect of season changes on soil microbial quantity, community structure characteristics 

and soil enzyme activity at 0-20 cm soil layer under citrus forest. The results obtained 

from this study were as follows: &#9312; The season changes had a significant impact on 

soil microbes (P&lt;0.05). Moreover, 16:0, i17:0, 16:1 2OH, 18:0, cy19:0&omega;8c, 

i17:1&omega;9c or 16:0 10-methyl were found to be common in all four seasons, and the 

proportion of each phospholipid fatty acid was 49.57%, 41.63%, 35.41% and 38.05%, 

respectively. In various microbial species, the PLFAs content of bacteria was the 

highest, followed by fungi, and that of actinomycetes was the lowest. Our results 

revealed that all kinds of micro-organisms showed obvious seasonal variation 

characteristics. The total PLFAs quantity of citrus forest ranged from 6.868 to 24.085 

nmol&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which had a content order of 

spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter&gt;summer. The PLFAs content of bacteria, G<sup>-</sup>, 

G<sup>+</sup>and actinomycetes also showed the same variation trend. However, the PLFAs 

content of fungi showed a different variation trend, i.e., autumn was the highest, 

followed by winter and summer, and spring was the lowest. The results suggested that 

season change also had a significant impact on microbial community functional diversity 

index. The variation trend of richness index (R) followed the order of 

spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn&gt;summer. Moreover, the variation trend of diversity index 

(H') was winter&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;summer. Furthermore, the variation trend of 

evenness index (J) was summer&gt;autumn&gt;winter&gt;spring. The dominance index (D) 

increased with the change of season. &#9313; Urease showed a change with the seasons 

following summer&gt;spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter; Soil invertase, soil catalase and acid 

phosphatase activity changed obviously in autumn, followed by spring, summer, and winter. 

&#9314; The principal component analysis demonstrated that the PLFAs content of bacteria, 

G<sup>-</sup>, G<sup>+</sup>, actinomycetes and total PLFAs made the greatest 

contribution to soil fertility followed by that of invertase, catalase, acid phosphatase 

and fungi. Moreover, our studies showed that the PLFAs content of urease made a minimum 

contribution to the soil fertility. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming to expand the utilization of porous silicate minerals in the remediation 

of heavy metal contaminated soil, the mesoporous material SBA-15 was successfully 

synthesized by using sodium silicate as silica source in this study. And the obtained 

SBA-15 samples were characterized by TEM, X-ray diffraction, N<inf>2</inf>adsorption-

desorption and FTIR. Furthermore, characterization of Cd(II) adsorption and sealing 

performance onto SBA-15 were evaluated through batch experiment, and the remediation 

potential of Cd(II) contaminated soil was investigated by brassica planting in a pot 

experiment. The results showed that SBA-15 had the mesoporous structure with surface area 

of 507.3 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and pore size of 7.38 nm. The maximum Cd(II) 

adsorption capacity was 76.43 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at pH above 7.0 with the adsorption 

isotherm fitting the Langmuir model in the solution of 100 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Cd

(II). The increase in ionic strength reduced the Cd(II) adsorption capacity. The Cd(II) 

loaded SBA-15 could be regenerated with 0.1 mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>HNO<inf>3</inf>, 

while Cd(II) could be strongly sealed in the pore structure after introduction of sodium 

silicate into the system. The pot experiment proved that the addition of SBA-15 (4.5 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) into Cd-contaminated soil could reduce Cd(II) availability, 

enhance the transformation of soluble and exchangeable Cd(II) fractions into carbonate 

and Fe-Mn oxides bounded forms, inhibit the Cd(II) accumulation in the plant tissue and 

improve the brassica growth. Based on these results, it can be concluded that combination 

of the SBA-15 particle with sodium silicate has great potential to remediate Cd(II) 

contaminated soil through adsorption and sealing properties. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The phosphate released from organic phosphorus photo-decomposition has a 

significantly influence on the phosphorus levels in the water column in lakes. In order 

to reveal the effect of organic phosphorus photo-decomposition on phosphate level in lake 

water, the phosphate released from organic phosphorus photo-decomposition driven by Fe

(III)-oxalate complex under UV-Vis and sunlight irradiation was investigated in natural 

lake water using glyphosate as the model organic phosphorus. The effects of pH and 

initial concentration of Fe(III), oxalate and glyphosate on the phosphate released from 

glyphosate photolysis were studied. The results showed that phosphate could be released 

from glyphosate degradation by Fe(III)-oxalate complex under UV-Vis and sunlight 

irradiation. The concentration of phosphate reached 0.25 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.18

respectively. The amount of phosphate released increased with the increase of the initial

Abstract:Illicit drugs have been recognized as a group of emerging pollutants. Based on 

previous research, procedures to pre-treat wastewater including SPE column, pH of water 

samples, and processes of washing, acidifying and re-dissolving were compared. It was 

found that the best recovery was achieved when wastewater was adjusted to pH=2 and Oasis 

MCX column was used. It was not necessary to flush the loaded column or to acidify the 

eluate prior to evaporation using nitrogen steam. After evaporation, it is recommended to 

redissolve the evaporated samples using 200 &mu;L acetonitrile and 100 &mu;L 

acetonitrile+100 &mu;L 5 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>ammonium acetate in Milli-Q water for 

HILIC-UPLC-MS/MS and C18-UPLC-MS/MS, respectively. After comparing retention times, limit 

of detection, limit of quantification, recoveries, and matrix effects of HILIC and C18 

methods, C18-UPLC-MS/MS was chosen. Influent and effluent samples from 12 wastewater 

treatment plants in Beijing were analyzed using the optimized method for validation. The 

validated methods set a firm foundation to apply the sewage-based epidemiology to monitor 

illicit drug abuse in China. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Using the hanging nylon as a biological carrier, a novel biofilm reactor was 

adopted to treat synthetic wastewater, and the feasibility of cultivating and enriching a 

high concentration of PAOs on this conventional biofilm within a short time was 

investigated, which was proved from the aspects of reactor's operational efficiency, the 

rate of phosphorus removal and the condition of PAOs enrichment. After 10d of operation, 

the rate of orthophosphate removal was higher than 95% in aerobic phase and the 

concentration of effluent COD was 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>or less in the reactor,which 

was operated steadily for 50 d at this treatment level; after 48 d of operation, the 

reactor's phosphorus uptake rate and release rate were increased from 3.4 mg&middot;

(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 3.4 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>to 8 mg&middot;

(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 6 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>,respectively, and the 

aerobic and anaerobic cycles were shortened from equally 6 h to 2 h and 3 h, 

respectively. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test found that the PAOs' 

abundance was increased from the original 48.96% to 70% on the 50th day, meanwhile the 

PAOs showed reunite chunk state in hybrid figure, the thickness of biofilm measured by 

direct microscopic process was about 28.9 &mu;m, which all proved that the PAOs in 

biofilm were at the end of the growth kinetics and the biofilm was mature. By hardening 

culture for 50d, a high concentration of 70% in full organisms of PAOs could be enriched 

in the conventional nylon filler, enabling the reactor to show a high efficiency in 

removal of phosphorus and organic matter from sewage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:As an important part of inland waters, small pond is a neglected source of 

greenhouse gas. The main objective of the study was to quantify greenhouse gas fluxes 

(CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>) from small pond in the Yangtze Delta using flux-

gradient method. The results showed that: &#9312; zero-gradient test indicated that the 

flux measurement precision for water vapor, CO<inf>2</inf>, and CH<inf>4</inf>was 7.525 

W&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 0.022 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, and 0.054 

&mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. During the test period, 

84%, 80%, and 94% of half-hourly flux data for H<inf>2</inf>O, CO<inf>2</inf>, and 

CH<inf>4</inf>were higher than the zero-gradient measurement precision. &#9313;Based on 

the measurement, the small pond was the source of CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>for the 

atmosphere in summer, the mean emission flux of CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>was 0.038 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>and 0.889 &mu;g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The CH<inf>4</inf>emission fluxes 

from the small pond were more higher than the median value of emission for global lakes. 

The results indicated that greenhouse gas emission from small pond was an important part 

for estimating inland water greenhouse gas emissions, especially for 

CH<inf>4</inf>emission. These results can provide scientific reference for making 

emission inventory of regional greenhouse gas. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:A compound contaminated soil sampled from Lingxiang City, Hunan Province, was 

used to investigate the effects of biochar (BC) and montmorillonite (MM) addition on 

heavy metals fractions. The addition amounts of BC and MM were 1%, 2%, 5%, respectively, 

and the mixture treatment was 1% BC+1% MM. BCR(European Community Bureau of Reference) 

sequential extraction method was used to assess the fractions of heavy metals in soil 

after incubation. The results indicated that adding BC alone significantly reduced the 

available contents of Pb, Cu and Cd. Among montmorillonite treatments, MM5% treatment 

decreased the weak acid extractable content of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd by 27.6%, 19.2%, 25.6%, 

19.2%, respectively. BC+MM treatment worked well, decreased the weak acid extractable 

content of Cu,Pb, Zn, Cd by 15.8%, 15.9%, 13.1%, 12.0%, and increased the residual 

content by 39.0%, 110.1%, 9.6%, 62.5%, significantly reducing the mobility of the four 

elements. For the stabilization effect, MM treatment worked better than BC treatment, and 

a combination of two amendments worked the best. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Harvesting of microalgae is the major challenge in cost-efficient large-scale 

microalgal biomass production due to their low concentration and small cell size in the 

culture medium. The present paper aimed to study the efficiency of the filamentous fungus 

Mucor circinelloides spores suspensions to harvest the green unicellular microalga 

Chlorella pyrenoidosa grown in synthetic medium. Results showed that the optimal co-

culture conditions were pH=6.0, 1.25 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>glucose and 1&#8758;250 fungi 

to microalgae ratio with harvest efficiency of 91.08%. In addition, the mentioned optimal 

conditions could be applied for actual sewage with harvest efficiency of 92.33%. 

Polysaccharide concentrations measured before and after 48 h of cultivation showed that 

the polysaccharide of C. pyrenoidosa cultured alone was increased by 0.047 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, while co-cultured mixture showed increase in polysaccharides by 

0.019 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The recorded decrease in polysaccharides concentration in 

the co-culture might be attributed to using of excreted polysaccharides by M. 

circinelloides to grow, confirming the symbiotic association of both organisms. 

Furthermore, with decreasing the pH, C. pyrenoidosa Zeta potential was stable, while it 

was increased from -37.7 mV to -9.87 mV in M. circinelloides, which indicated that charge 

neutralization was the mechanism of flocculation between algae and fungi. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Application of biochar (BC) is an important way to increase soil organic carbon 

sequestration. At the same time, the effect of BC on fractions and properties of soil 

humic substances is concerned. A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the 

influences of BC pyrolyzed at different temperatures on the composition and properties of 

humic substances. The modified method for the extraction and fractionation of humic 

substances was adopted in this work. The carbon (C) contents of Humin (Hu), Humic acids 

(HA), Fulvic acids (FA) were analyzed by the thermal oxidation of 

K<inf>2</inf>Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>and TOC analyzer, and the optical properties of 

HA and FA were measured by using spectrophotometer. The results showed that the 

increasing temperature (from 300 to 600&#8451;) decreased like-humic substances (LHS) 

from 10.93 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 0.26 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, while the structure 

of theLHS tended to be complicated. Compared with control treatment (CK), the addition of 

BC produced under 400&#8451; increased the contents of HA and FA (after 240 d incubation 

a lower FA content was found in treatments) and increased as BC application rate 

increased, after 360 d of incubation, BC300 and BC400 significantly increased by 69.93% 

and 48.75% for HA (P&lt;0.05), while decreased by 1.35% and 5.19% for FA. Higher contents 

of HA and FA were found in soil samples amended with BC prepared at above 400&#8451; only 

during the initial period of 3-10 d of incubation and increased as BC application rate 

increased, at the end of the incubation, the contents of HA and FA significantly 

decreased by 34.38%, 44.48% in BC500 treatments and 42.84%, 49.27% in the BC600 

treatments (P&lt;0.05). During the incubation, the addition of BC significantly increased 

the contents of Hu (P&lt;0.05), and the treatments amended with BC500 were the highest. 

The addition of BC decreased the relative contents of HA and FA, while increased the 

relative content of Hu, indicating that the proportion of relatively stable organic 

carbon in the soil was increased. The ratio of HA/FA (H/F) varied between 0.88 and 2.52 

and increased with decreasing pyrolysis temperature and increasing BC application. A 

significantly lower color tonal coefficient (&Delta;lgK) and 

E<inf>4</inf>/E<inf>6</inf>values in treatments amended with BC produced at temperatures 

above 400&#8451;, indicating that higher temperatures derived BC complicated the 

structure of soil humic substance, while an opposite rend was observed in treatments 

amended with BC produced at temperatures under 400&#8451;. Considering the improvement of 

the stability of organic carbon, when the BC products were applied to the Loutu soil, 

500&#8451; was the optimal temperature for preparing apple-derived BC not only because it 

could significantly increase the content of inert soil organic carbon, but also improve 

the quality of the soil as a result of enhancing the degree of soil humification. &copy;

of 4 h and the influent perchlorate concentration was 194 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; The 

yield of sulfate was increased by increasing the influent perchlorate concentration and 

HRT; The influent pH and alkalinity was approximately 8.0 and 500 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>CaCO<inf>3</inf>, and the effluent pH and alkalinity was approximately 6.7 and 100 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>CaCO<inf>3</inf>, respectively; The oxidation reduction potential 

(ORP) ranged from -380 mV to -330 mV at the bottom of the reactor, however, ORP ranged 

from -300 mV to -250 mV at the top of the reactor; The molecular biological analysis 

showed that the microbial consortium structure was different along the flow path in the 

reactor, Sulfurovum which is known to oxidize sulfur was decreased from 57.78% to 32.19% 

and Hydrogenophilaceae which is known to oxidize hydrogen sulfide was increased from

Abstract:In order to study the effect of reclaimed water on bacterial community 

composition and function in urban river sediment, the changes of bacteria community 

diversity, composition and function in Mayu wetland upon the supply of reclaimed water 

were investigated by a range of sophisticated procedures, including Terminal Restriction 

Fragment Length Polymorphism(T-RFLP), 16S rRNA clone library technology, and Real-time 

Quantitative PCR Detecting System(qPCR).The results showed that carbon, nitrogen and 

phosphorus were major factors driving the variation of bacterial diversity and community 

structure in river sediment, and the bacteria were gradually recovered after purification 

in downstream under the effect of artificial wetland. In addition, the bacterial 

community in reclaimed water outfall was mainly constituted by &beta;-Proteobacteria, 

&delta;-Proteobacteria, Bacteroidales and Cyanobacteriain, and &Epsilon;-Proteobacteria, 

Chloroflexi and Spirochaetes were unique groups. Besides, the major biological 

geochemical cycle was nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus cycle in river sediment, which was 

closely related to functional genes. There were about 45.9% of the clones related to 

nitrogen cycle in reclaimed water outfall, such as Comamonas sp., higher than those of 

upstream and downstream (27.7% and 23.4%), 17.9% of the clones were closely related to 

the carbon cycle, such as Lysobacter sp., higher than those of upstream and downstream 

(14.4% and 12.9%). Furthermore, the trace of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics in 

reclaimed water also changed the transformation pattern participating in carbon and 

nitrogen cycle, for example, Rhodocyclus sp. conducted nitrogen fixation by 

photosynthesis in reclaimed water outfall, whereas Burkholderia sp. fixes nitrogen by 

ways of plants symbiotic nitrogen fixation in upstream and downstream. This research 

provides theoretical reference for studies on remediation of reclaimed water supplying 

river by artificial wetland. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Colloids are the major carriers of various contaminants during the downward 

transport into groundwater. To explore the long-term dynamics of colloid in the 

groundwater and its influencing factors, a one-year monitoring of colloid concentration 

and water physicochemical parameters was carried out in the shallow wells in a purple 

soil dominated watershed in the hilly region of central Sichuan. The results indicated 

that colloid concentrations within a year had a strong seasonal variation with the 

coefficient of variation being larger than 0.5. The maximum of colloid mass concentration 

could reach as high as 14.68 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(the corresponding number 

concentration being 1.34&times;10<sup>9</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>), which occurred in the non-

rainy season and was caused by the physical perturbations from water taken. Physical 

perturbations of rainfall led to the distinct peaks of colloid concentrations in the well 

water at the early stages of rainy season while it did not occur at the end of the rainy 

season even upon heavy storm. Water chemistries (EC, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, 

DOC) showed the dominant role in determining colloid concentrations and status in the 

well. The facilitated transport of contaminants (i.e. pesticides and heavy metals) due to 

the increased colloids in the shallow well water at the early stages of rainy season 

would potentially pose a great threat to the drinking water safety in the study area. 

Therefore, it is strongly suggested to increase the monitoring frequencies in terms of 

colloid concentrations and well water physicochemical parameters following the large 

rainfall events during this period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The modification of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes with carbon nanotube 

(CNTs) on fouling control was investigated. Considering the antifouling ability of the 

CNT-modified membranes and the stability of CNTs layer, several factors were analyzed and 

evaluated, including the concentration of ethanol-dispersion, the diameter of CNTs, and 

the loading mass of CNTs. Besides, DOC, UV<inf>254</inf>, and fluorescence 

characteristics of the permeate from the CNT-modified membrane were analyzed. The results 

revealed that the optimal modification method included a 50%(volume fraction) ethanol-

dispersion,a 30-50 nm diameter-CNTs, and 3 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>CNTs' loading. Compared 

with the virgin membrane, the removal rates of DOC and UV<inf>254</inf>by the CNT-

modified membrane were increased by 37% and 56%, respectively. Meanwhile, it was proved 

that the humic-like and protein-like materials were more easily removed by the CNT-

modified membrane. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Global warming can intensify the El Ni&ntilde;o phenomenon that recurs every 2-7 

years, which will lead to a great interannual variability of climate and may induce the 

deterioration of the water quality of reservoirs. To study the influence of the extreme 

El Ni&ntilde;o events on the water quality of stratified reservoirs during summer, field 

surveys were conducted in Zhoucun Reservoir and its inflow rivers from May to August in a 

normal year (2012) and a strong El Ni&ntilde;o year (2015). Temporal variations of 

physical and chemical index were investigated during monitoring. The results showed that 

the Zhoucun Reservoir was stratified during the study period. The precipitation in the 

summer of the normal year was significantly higher than that in the El Ni&ntilde;o year 

at the same period. In the summer of the normal year, the water level increased from 

124.26 m to 127.14 m and the hypolimnion thickness increased by 3.1 m. However, in 2015, 

the rapid decrease of the water level from May to August (from 121.65 m to 119.46 m) led 

to the decrease of the hypolimnion thickness (by 3.2 m). The inflow rivers belonged to 

surface current and its nutrients concentrations were obviously higher than those in the 

epilimnion. The inflow nutrients loads increased significantly in the summer of the 

normal year, as a result, total nitrogen increased from 1.00 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

2.06 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, nitrate increased from 0.19 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

1.28 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and total phosphorus increased from 0.023 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 0.088 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in the lacustrine zone of the 

reservoir. In contrast, the nutrients concentrations changed little in the summer of the 

El Ni&ntilde;o year due to the decrease in runoff. Nonetheless, the reducing pollutants 

concentrations of the hypolimnion in the El Ni&ntilde;o year were significantly higher 

than those in the normal year, which may be due to the temporal variations of hypolimnion 

thicknesses. The maximum concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium and sulfide in the 

summer of the El Ni&ntilde;o year were 0.38, 1.36, 2.36 and 1.67 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. All these index exceeded the standards for surface water Class 

III. We conclude that the extreme El Ni&ntilde;o event has an apparent influence on the 

nutrients concentrations in the epilimnion and the pollutants concentrations in the 

hypolimnion in Zhoucun Reservoir. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To reveal the spatiotemporal characteristics of nutrients in the deposition 

process of suspended solids in lakeside zone, in situ deposition tests were performed in 

the western lakeside of Taihu Lake, and the contents of TP, TN, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were measured and analyzed. The results showed 

that the deposition fluxes in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake ranked as follows: 

artificial reed areas&gt;non-vegetation nearshore areas&gt;natural reed areas&gt;non-

vegetation offshore areas, with their average values of (1 383.40&plusmn;925.60), (1 

208.67&plusmn;743.50), (278.72&plusmn;142.53), (245.58&plusmn;154.25) g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. From the 6th day, the deposition 

volume steadily increased, with the deposition rate larger than the decomposition rate. 

Through the 15-day continuous in situ observation, the content of TP in nearshore zone 

was 2-3 folds larger than that of offshore zone, and the content of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N was significantly different from that of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the 

settlement bottle (P&lt;0.01). The deposition volume was significantly and positively 

correlated to both TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N contents in the water column 

(P&lt;0.01, n=42), suggesting that the TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N contents in 

the overlying water increased with the deposition fluxes. The correlation coefficient 

between TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was 0.84, implicating that the increase of 

deposition flux may accelerate the mutual transformation between different forms of 

nitrogen. These findings should be taken into account in the current control of black 

blooms and nutrient management in Taihu Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to compare the differences in carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas 

mitigation between straw and straw-derived biochar amendment, a field experiment was 

conducted with simultaneous measurement of carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>), methane 

(CH<inf>4</inf>) and nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) emissions, crop yield, soil organic 

carbon (SOC) content and net global warming potential (NGWP) in a wheat-maize rotation 

cropping system from the loess plateau of China. Five treatments were included: control 

(no straw incorporation, no straw-derived biochar amendment and no fertilization, CK), 

fertilization (no straw incorporation and no straw-derived biochar amendment, F), straw 

with fertilization (wheat straw incorporated at 8 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, FS), low 

straw-derived biochar (8 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) with fertilization (FBlow) and high 

straw-derived biochar (16 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) with fertilization (FBhigh). Wheat 

yield increased by 30.9%, 66.3% and 36.6% under FS, FBlow and FBhigh treatment, as 

compared to the F treatment, respectively. However, maize yield decreased by 14.1%, 18.0% 

and 24.6% under FS, CK and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. 

There was no significant difference between FBlow and F treatment. Annual 

CO<inf>2</inf>emission increased by 60.2% under FS treatment, but decreased by 14.4% 

under FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. Annual 

N<inf>2</inf>O emission decreased by 27.6% and 38.7% under FBlow and FBhigh treatment as 

compared to the F treatment, respectively. However, no significant difference was 

observed under straw application. Overall, the NGWP decreased by 24.13 and 58.44 

t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>under FBlow and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, 

respectively. And the NGHGI decreased by 1.78 and 5.06 t&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>under FBlow 

and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. In summary, we 

conclude that the fertilization with 16 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>biochar amendment can be 

used as an effective management to improve the crop yield and reduce the net global 

warming potential under the wheat-maize rotation system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:A suitable fractionation method of phosphorus (P) is a key to effective 

assessment of soil P componential features. Here a new biologically-based P (BBP) method 

was used to evaluate the P fractions in the upland and paddy soils across large-scale 

area in China. The soil P was divided into four components: (1) soluble or rhizosphere-

intercepted (CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P), (2)organic acid activated and inorganic weakly bound 

(Citrate-P), (3) enzyme mineralization of organic P (Enzyme-P), (4)potential activation 

of inorganic P (HCl-P). Then, the relationships between biologically-based P fractions 

and standard Olsen-P were investigated, and driving factors of P fractions were 

identified. The results showed that P content was in order of HCl-P&gt;Citrate-

P&gt;Enzyme-P&gt;CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P. All P components of upland soil displayed higher 

levels than those of paddy soil. Moreover, the P components were highly positively 

correlated with the Olsen-P, suggesting that each P component contributed to soil P 

availability. However, it was found that Olsen-P was most highly correlated with 

CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P and Enzyme-P (R<sup>2</sup>=0.359; R<sup>2</sup>=0.386) in upland 

soil, while Olsen-P was most highly with Citrate-P (R<sup>2</sup>=0.788) in paddy soil. 

This result indicated that available P of upland soil was mainly from organic P 

mineralization and soluble P, and available P in paddy soil was mainly from inorganic P 

activation. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the P components were mainly affected 

by soil pH and silt content, which suggested that it could enhance the P availability via 

regulating soil pH in the agricultural activities. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Site remediation has become an imperative part of environmental protection in 

China due to recent economic development, urban spreading, new industries replacing old 

ones, relocation of old industrial sites, and increased environmental conscience. This 

paper mainly introduced the concept, method, calculation, risk assessment and management 

for polluted sites remediation based on experience from California, USA. Further, the 

paper presented the concept of vapor intrusion and how to use vapor intrusion methodology 

to determine site remediation standard. Mathematical modeling approaches were also 

discussed in terms of how to determine the residual pollutant concentrations in soil and 

how to calculate indoor vapor concentrations. Based on risk assessment, California 

Environmental Protection Agency, Water Resources Control Board issued a 'Low Threat 

Underground Storage Tank Case Closure Policy'for impacted underground storage tank sites. 

The numerical criteria in the Policy were based on calculations of human health risk 

assessment. Finally, a real case study in California, USA, was presented to demonstrate 

how the risk assessment calculations were applied in polluted site remediation, which 

helps to answer the question of 'how clean is clean'. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Returning straw to the field provides an important source of fertilizer that can 

increase soil fertility. However, the rate of straw carbon utilization is low and large 

amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted due to the high carbon to nitrogen ratio of the 

straw mass. In this regard, the application of inorganic nitrogen and phosphate 

fertilizers can control the ratio of elements in the soil, increase the activity of 

microorganisms and their utilization of elements, and promote the improvement of soil 

fertility. In this study, straw application conditions were simulated, and inorganic 

nitrogen fertilizer labeled with<sup>15</sup>N was added to examine the effects of 

different nutrient fertilizer additions on the transformation and distribution of 

exogenous nitrogen in the soil, and also the characteristics of the microbial response. 

The results showed that application of straw increased the contents of ammonia nitrogen 

and total nitrogen in the soil and soil solution. When both straw and inorganic nitrogen 

fertilizer were applied, the<sup>15</sup>N-TN in the soil remained at 28 to 33 &mu;g 

during the 100-day culture phase. In contrast,<sup>15</sup>N-NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>increased gradually during the initial 30 days of the culture phase, but 

subsequently decreased gradually. Application of phosphate increased the contents 

of<sup>15</sup>N-TN and<sup>15</sup>N-NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>in the soil, but 

decreased the content of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil solution by 28%. The distribution of 

inorganic nitrogen in the soil showed that the proportion of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil 

remained at 52%-61%. Addition of phosphate fertilizer increased the distribution ratio 

of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil by up to 16.5%, whereas the proportion of<sup>15</sup>N in 

the soil solution decreased from 36% on the fifth day to 30% on the 100<sup>th</sup>day, 

thereby the loss amount of<sup>15</sup>N reduced by 1.2-fold. Addition of straw promoted 

microbial activity and significantly increased the microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) 

content of the soil. Addition of inorganic fertilizer further promoted the microbial 

activity of the soil. After the 100-day culture experiment, the addition of straw, 

inorganic nitrogen, and phosphate fertilizer increased MBN to between 2.0-fold and 2.2-

fold that of the control treatments. Addition of phosphate fertilizer increased the 

utilization of<sup>15</sup>N by microorganisms, so that the amount of<sup>15</sup>N-MBN 

was 1.5-fold higher than that of treatments where only straw and nitrogen fertilizer were 

added. Examination of soil enzyme activity showed that nitrogen fertilizer reduced soil 

enzyme activity and substrate affinity. When both nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers were 

added, the enzyme activity was 48.1% higher than that when only straw was added. The 

findings of this study thus provide a theoretical basis for furthering our understanding 

on the nitrogen cycle of the paddy soil ecosystem, the improvement of soil fertility, and 

the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Total concentrations of 15 metal elements in the surface sediments of Yundang 

Lagoon in Xiamen were determined using ICP-MS. The fractions were extracted by a modified 

BCR method. The results indicated that in different areas of Yundang Lagoon, the order of 

the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Sr, Pb, Zn and U was: outer lagoon&gt;ditch&gt;inner 

lagoon, the order for Cr, Co, Ni, V, Fe, Li, Rb and Mn was: inner lake&gt;outer 

lake&gt;ditch. Cu, Zn and Pb were mainly in the reducible phase; Cd was mainly in the 

acid soluble-extractable and reducible phases; Co, Ni, U, Fe and Mn were mainly in the 

reducible and residual phases; Li, V, Cr, Rb and Ba were dominated by residual phase. The 

potential ecological risk of metal elements suggested that V, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd and 

Pb were at a low potential ecological risk level. The results of ratio of secondary phase 

to primary phase (RSP) assessment indicated that Cu, Cd and Zn showed high pollution 

level; Pb showed moderate pollution level; Co, Mn, Sr and U were in a low polluted 

condition; Ni, Fe, Cr, V, Li, Ba and Rb showed no pollution. In general, Yundang Lagoon 

was in a low potential ecological risk. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Lithology is a key factor when used to restore vegetation in karst degraded 

ecosystems, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria play an 

important role in improving plant growth. However, little information is available 

regarding the effects of lithology on these two groups of microorganisms. To test whether 

these microbial communities are impacted by lithology, the abundance and composition of 

soil AM fungal and nitrogen-fixing bacteria communities were determined through terminal 

restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and real-time fluorescence-based 

quantitative PCR (real-time PCR). Three types of lithology (dolomite, limestone and 

dolomite-limestone) were selected in this study. The diversity, richness, and evenness of 

plant species were evaluated through field surveys and soil properties were measured. The 

results showed that the abundances of soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular 

mycorrhizal fungal communities were significantly influenced by lithology. The abundances 

of these two groups of microorganisms were the lowest in dolomite soil, inferior to 

dolomite-limestone soil, while highest in limestone soil. Similarly, the composition of 

soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria and AM fungi communities varied among lithology. A 

significant linear correlation was observed among soil organic carbon, available 

phosphorus, clay content and nitrogen-fixing bacterial abundance (P&lt;0.05), and a 

significant linear correlation among total nitrogen, clay content and AM fungal abundance 

(P&lt;0.05). Redundancy analysis showed that the composition of nitrogen-fixing bacterial 

community was closely linked to plant evenness, and the AM fungal community composition 

was closely linked to plant diversity (plant evenness, Shannon-wiener and richness). 

These results indicated that lithology influenced the abundances and compositions of soil 

nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities mainly 

through plant and soil properties. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Urban environmental pollution can be revealed by the magnetic characteristics of 

street dust. Environmental magnetic measurements were carried out for the 151 samples of 

street dust collected in different functional zones of Xi'an city. Magnetic 

susceptibility varied within the range between 169.5&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 977.48&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and the &chi;<inf>lf</inf>average value was 

415.66&times;10<sup>-8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, which was 10 times 

higher than that of the background value. Isothermal remanent magnetization varied within 

the range between 2005.31&times;10<sup>-5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>and 10897.64&times;10<sup>-5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

and the SIRM average value was 5105.99&times;10<sup>-

5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The average value of frequency-

dependent magnetic susceptibility was 1.30, which was extremely low. The SIRM curve was 

consistent with &chi;<inf>lf</inf>curve. The results indicated a high concentration of 

magnetic minerals in street dust. The magnetic minerals were mainly low-coercivity 

ferrimagnetic (magnetite and maghemite) and anti-ferromagnetic minerals (hematite), which 

contributed to the magnetic susceptibility. The main domains of magnetic minerals were 

composed of multiple domain (MD) and pseudo-single domain (PSD) ferrimagnetic minerals 

demonstrating the pollution of environment. According to the spatial distribution of 

magnetic properties of street dust and the different functional zones of Xi'an city, 

seven districts (A, B, C, D, E, F and G areas) were divided, which were summarized as 

three pollution types: heavily polluted, moderately polluted and lightly polluted. In the 

ecological district of Baqiao (F area) which was heavily polluted, &chi;<inf>lf</inf>, 

SIRM and soft values were all the highest in the seven areas, and the main pollution 

sources were industry and vehicle emission. &chi;<inf>lf</inf>, SIRM and soft values were 

slightly higher in the high-tech industrial district (A area) and the central business 

and commerce district (B area), which was moderately polluted by industry and vehicle 

emission. However, the magnetic parameters were relatively low in the functional zones of 

education, tourism and culture (C, D, E and G area), demonstrating that these areas were 

only slightly polluted by vehicle emission. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Automatic aeration and recirculation of effluent were used to start CANON 

process with up flow sludge bed reactor, and the start-up and operation characteristics 

of the process were studied. The results showed that the CANON process could be started 

quickly and stably by the method of reoxygenation reflux under the conditions of sludge 

volume fraction 25%, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N 157 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, HRT 2 h. 

After 50 days of operation, the total nitrogen removal rate increased from 1.31 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 1.47 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>; the reoxygenation reflux manner could effectively 

control the amount of dissolved oxygen in the reactor, resulting in DO&lt;0.01 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which had a good inhibitory effect on the NOB in the system, 

and meanwhile provided a good growth environment for AnAOB; By controlling the reflux 

flow, the production rate of NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>could be precisely controlled, 

reaching a good balance with NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>consumption rates, and thus 

avoiding the accumulation of NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>and occurrence of nitration 

reactions. Therefore, reoxygenation reflux CANON process showed a great advantage in the 

operation stability, which provided a new model for the start-up and stable operation of 

CANON process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Understanding the effects of acidic materials on the N transformations becomes 

of critical importance to choose the additives with preserving nitrogen during the manure 

composting. A 40 d static composting experiment was conducted in the laboratory to 

explore the effects of acidic materials on changes of temperature, pH, EC (electrical 

conductivity), GI (germination index), N compounds and TOC (total organic carbon) during 

the composting of pig manure and wheat straw. Three acidic materials were selected as the 

additives, including phosphate fertilizer (P), rotten apples (A) and vinegar (V). The 

results showed that the duration with temperature higher than 50&#8451; in four 

treatments all exceeded ten days and reached the health standard of high temperature 

composting. The addition of phosphate fertilizer delayed the time of the pile entering 

into the high temperature stage, decreased the pH, and increased the EC during the whole 

composting. On a mass basis, 53.1%, 36.2%, 46.5% and 41.5% of original amount of N in CK, 

P, A and V were lost during the first 16 d, but there was still 20% N loss during 16-24 d 

in P and V treatments. The NH<inf>3</inf>-N loss accounted for 26.0%, 11.8%, 21.5% and 

20.2% of the N loss. The addition of acidic materials effectively reduced the N loss and 

the emissions of NH<inf>3</inf>, and the phosphate fertilizer showed the best effect. In 

the end of composting, the GI all exceeded 80%, and met maturity requirements. &copy;

Abstract:A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated with alternating anaerobic/oxic 

(An/O) condition to investigate the nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance of EBPR 

with DO=1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the phosphorus recovery effect at extracting side 

stream ratio of 0, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 anaerobic phosphorus supernatant. The removal efficiency 

of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was found to be relatively stable during all experimental 

stages but effluent COD of the system during later period remained as high as 81.3 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. In the absence of side stream, the average phosphorus removal 

efficiency was 89.4% and increased to 98.5% and 99.0% when the side stream ratio was 1/4 

and 1/3, respectively. However, the phosphorus removal performance began to fluctuate 

with side stream ratio of 1/2 and the lowest phosphorus removal rate was 65.4%. During 

each experimental stage, only one day effluent TP failed to meet the national wastewater 

discharge standard A with side stream ratio of 1/3 in the initial period. Besides, 93.3% 

of effluent TP which could meet the national standard with side stream ratio of 1/3 was 

far better than 45.5% of that with side stream ratio of 1/2. Nevertheless, the phosphorus 

recovery rate improved with the increase of side stream ratio. It was also observed that 

the TN removal rate dramatically decreased to 50.9% when the side stream ratio increased 

to 1/2. Consequently, a side stream ratio of 1/3 was found to be the optimal condition in 

the whole experimental stage, and EBPR system under low dissolved oxygen condition 

combined with phosphorus recovery through extracting side stream could greatly improve 

the economic and environmental benefits. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The products of non-hazardous commercial sewage sludge were utilized in the 

accordance of the national standard in the experiment with sandy fluvo-aquic soil under 

wheat-maize rotation system during 2013 to 2015. The experiment focused on the effects of 

the use of non-hazardous sewage sludge on soil carbon pool and carbon pool management 

index to provide theoretical and technical basis for the resource utilization of non-

hazardous sewage sludge. The results showed that compared with CK, soil amended sludge 

significantly improved soil total organic carbon (TOC), soil microbial biomass carbon 

(SMBC), labile organic carbon (LOC), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to 8.40-14.74 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 164.45-257.45 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 3.58-4.88 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 81.16-101.58 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, soil amended sludge 

significantly enhanced SMBC, LOC and DOC by 84.00%-188.07%, 26.26%-58.03%, and 109.58%-

185.39% (P&lt;0.05) respectively, and 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>sewage sludge (W3) had 

the most significant impact on soil carbon pool. The soil microbial entropy (SMBC/TOC), 

and utilization of labile organic carbon (LOC/TOC) increased by 8.02%-2.77% and 13.75%-

46.48% respectively, and the utilization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC/TOC) 

significantly decreased by 153.45%-195.40% (P&lt;0.05). SMBC/TOC, LOC/TOC, and DOC/TOC 

declined in treatments of soil amended sludge due to increased application of sewage 

sludge, which indicated that soil amended with 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of the sewage 

sludge improved the content of stable carbon resulting in the decease of the ratio. L and 

LI decreased with the increasing amount of sewage sludge indicating that soil amended 

with 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of the sewage sludge improved the content of stable 

carbon and was conducive to the accumulation of organic carbon. Soil amended with sludge 

significantly increased carbon pool management index (CMPI) by 153.45%-195.40% 

(P&lt;0.05), and W3 had the most significant effect on CMPI. Compared with TOC, CMPI 

could be more sensitive and direct to reflect the dynamic changes of soil nutrients and 

carbon pools through the correlation analysis and redundancy analysis. In summary, the 

application of 15-45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>sewage sludge could significantly enhance 

the soil carbon pool and carbon pool management index, especially 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>sewage sludge (W3). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A reactivity-based anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission 

inventory in China in 2010 was developed on the basis of ozone formation potential (OFP), 

using the latest VOCs emission inventory, source profiles and maximum incremental 

reactivity (MIR) values. The results showed that the total anthropogenic OFP was 84187.61 

kt in China in 2010, of which 6 882.53 kt was from alkanes, 41496.92 kt from 

alkenes/alkynes, 32945.32 kt from aromatic hydrocarbons, 161.45 kt from halocarbons, and 

2701.40 kt from oxygenated organics. The top 10 species in terms of OFP consisted of 

propene, ethene, m/p-xylene, toluene, 1-butene, o-xylene, 1,2,4-trimethyl benzene, 1,3-

butadiene, m-ethyl toluene and ethyl benzene, contributing 63.95% to the total OFP but 

only 31.84% to the mass-based emission. Industrial sources accounted for the largest 

(49.29%) of the total OFP, followed by transportation sources (28.31%) and agricultural 

sources (22.40%). The key industrial sources with high reactivity were architectural 

decoration industry, oil refinery industry, storage and transport, machinery equipment 

industry, transport equipment industry and printing. Passenger cars, motorcycles and 

heavy duty vehicles were the major OFP sources of transportation. The two biomass burning 

sources were both the key OFP sources of agriculture. Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong, 

Zhejiang and Henan were the top five provinces with contributions of 39.65% of the total 

OFP in China. The reactivity-based emission inventory in this study would be of great 

significance for the formulation of reactivity-based ozone (O<inf>3</inf>) control 

strategies in China. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Bioaccumulation factor (BAF)plays a key role in identification of 

bioaccumulative substance and in assessment of chemical risks. In order to reveal the 

bioaccumulation behavior of fish in Dongjiang River, sediment, water and fish samples 

were collected from Dongjiang River and PBDEs, DBDPE, DP, TBBPA and HBCDs were measured. 

The ranges of lgBAF were 5.0-7.4, 6.1-7.1, 4.6-7.9, 2.6-4.6 and 4.8-7.7, respectively. In 

the present study, most HFRs had a lgBAF of higher than 3.7, which suggested that they 

might be bioaccumulative. The BAF values of HFRs increased with increasing 

lgK<inf>ow</inf>, when lgK<inf>ow</inf>&gt;7, the bioaccumulation extent decreased with 

the increase of lgK<inf>ow</inf>. Biotransformation of &gamma;-HBCD toward &alpha;-HBCD 

and the metabolism of BDE66 and BDE99 of these isomers might attribute to the deviation 

from the general trend predicted by K<inf>ow</inf>. More attention should be paid to 

DBDPE, since its BAF value was higher than that of BDE209. The BSAF values of most PBDEs, 

DBDPE, DP, TBBPA and HBCDs congeners in three fish species were less than 1, indicating 

that these compounds were unlikely to become a source of pollution to the aquatic 

organisms due to the poor bioavailability. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Through the environmental factors impact experiments, such as current intensity, 

initial pH value of the reaction solution, and the type and concentration of the 

electrolyte, effect and mechanism of electrochemically enhanced removal of nitrobenzene 

from aqueous solution on activated carbon fibers (ACF)-ozone technique were studied. The 

result showed that compared with the ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system, the removal efficiency of 

NB in electrochemically enhanced ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system was significantly improved. The 

effect of current intensity on the NB removal efficiency in the electrochemically 

enhanced ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system was not significant. O<inf>3</inf>concentration had some 

effect on the NB removal efficiency. The pH value of the initial reaction solution had a 

great influence on the catalytic activity of ACF in ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system. The presence 

of inorganic salts such as sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate and sodium chloride inhibited 

the catalytic ability of ACF in O<inf>3</inf>system. In addition, ACF was destroyed by 

ozone and the promoting effect of ACF was reduced. When the cathode electric field was 

applied on the surface of ACF, the removal effect of the organic compounds by ACF-

O<inf>3</inf>was improved significantly and the structure of ACF was not destroyed by 

ozone. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This paper analyzed 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans

(PCDD/Fs) by HRGC/HRMS in the flue gas of a certain municipal solid waste incinerator

(MSWI) and its surrounding air and other possible sources in Guangdong. It discussed the 

feature of homologs and main toxic monomers in all samples. It also investigated the 

relationship among surrounding area, MSWI and possible sources using principle component 

analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. The results showed that the concentration of PCDD/Fs 

was higher in the flue gas than the ambient air, moreover non-effect suffered by 

prevailing wind direction. The possible sources might be tyre factory and open burning 

based on spot survey. The concentration of PCDD/Fs was lower in tyre factory than upwind 

station, but higher at open burning spot than outdrop monitoring station. The analysis of 

homologs showed that OCDD, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HpCDD and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HpCDF were 

the main materials in the flue gas and air, meanwhile OCDF was also found in atmosphere. 

There was similar feature of 17 PCDD/Fs between surrounding monitoring station and tyre 

factory, and the same between flue gas and open burning. The further analysis showed that 

the linearly dependent coefficients of 1, 2, 3, 7, 8-PeCDD and 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HxCDF 

were 0.95 and 0.75, respectively. It showed the strong correlation of two monomers in all 

ambient air samples. The PCA and cluster analysis showed that MSWI influenced the 

surrounding air, tyre factory had an impact on upwind station, and open burning had a 

lower effect on outdrop monitoring station. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Sediment columns in the southeast and east of Dianchi Lake were taken as the 

object of the study to determine ages by<sup>210</sup>Pb dating method. The contents and 

sediment fluxes of total organic carbon (TOC) and n-alkanes of the sediments were 

investigated, and organic sources were tracked according to the relevant indexes of n-

alkanes. The results indicated that TOC contents and sediment fluxes of two sampling 

sediments both presented an increasing trend on the whole; Sediment fluxes of n-alkanes 

varied as three stages: increasing period, decreasing period and re-increasing period. 

When the sediment fluxes of n-alkanes and TOC both went up, it showed that they had the 

same sources: sediments in the lake and carried by the rivers; From 1980s to the end of 

20<sup>th</sup>century, sediment fluxes of n-alkanes were going down while those of TOC 

were going up. This result means there was a big difference in the sources of n-alkanes 

and TOC. The bacteria and algae in the lake made a great contribution to n-alkanes while 

TOC was mainly influenced by sediments in the lake and carried by the rivers. n-alkanes 

of the two sampling sites both ranged from C<inf>12</inf>to C<inf>35</inf>. Based on the 

basic features and relevant indexes of n-alkanes, we proposed that emergent plants made 

big contributions to the sources of organic matter in the sediments of Dianchi Lake, 

simultaneously, bacteria and algae had significant contributions to the sources of 

organic matter in shallow depth of Dianchi Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The soil and water loss problem in rock mining areas is an extremely serious 

problem, and microbes play significant roles in ecological restoration of those areas. In 

this study, directive screening was used to explore the efficiency of microbe-mediated 

habitat restoration and the underlying mechanisms. A bacterial strain NLX-4, which was 

then identified as Pseudomonas protegens according to its 16S rRNA gene sequence, was 

screened out as an efficient silicate dissolution bacterium with the ability to secrete 

siderophore and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Moreover, pH value, element (K, Al, Si) 

release, organic acid content, amino acid concentration, polysaccharide content, and rock 

particle diameter variation in culture medium were analyzed to explore the ability of P. 

protegens NLX-4 to promote dolomite dissolution under controlled experimental conditions. 

These results showed that P. protegens NLX-4 could play a positive role in dolomite 

dissolution by producing tartaric acid (&gt;777 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and 

polysaccharides (&gt;8.21g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). Therefore, P. protegens NLX-4 is an 

efficient microbial resource that can be used in rehabilitation of abandoned mines and 

has great application potential. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of phosphorus removal in water, Mg/Al-layered double 

hydroxides (Mg/Al-LDHs) were synthesized via optimized constant pH co-precipitation 

method, and highly efficient phosphorus adsorbent Mg/Al-layered double oxide(Mg/Al-LDO) 

was obtained when it was calcined at high temperature. Based on the adsorption 

characteristics of phosphorus removal, the study combined Zeta potential, X-ray 

diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze the 

changes of isoelectric point, crystal structure and functional group before and after 

adsorption. In addition, Mg/Al-LDO of phosphorus adsorption mechanism was discussed. The 

results indicated that using the optimized co-precipitation method in the conditions of 

Mg/Al=2&#8758;1, calcination temperature 450&#8451;, and calcination time 2 h, the 

Mg/Al-LDO adsorption capacity of phosphate was the best, and the maximum adsorption 

capacity could reach 176.94 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which was basically consistent with 

the theoretical adsorption capacity of 191.57 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, far higher than 

those of Mg/Al-LDHs and other phosphorus adsorbents. The results showed that the 

experimental data has the best fitting result with pseudo-second-order kinetics model. 

The adsorption process was consistent with Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The 

results of Zeta potential, XRD and FTIR showed that phosphorus adsorption of Mg/Al-LDO 

was accomplished co-operatively by electrostatic attraction, anion in layer, ions 

exchange, and surface co-ordination. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Vegetations grow vigorously in the water-level-fluctuating zone (WLFZ) of Three 

Gorges Reservoir (TGR) during the non-flooded period. Low molecular weight organic acids 

(LMWOAs) excreted from the roots of these plants may active the heavy metals in soil. In 

order to investigate the desorption kinetics of Pb in the vegetation covered soil of TGR, 

the LMWOAs released from Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa crusgalli roots, which are the 

dominant species in WLFZ, were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. 

Furthermore, single and mixed species of LMWOAs were also used in the simulation. The 

results showed that the variety and content of LMWOAs secreted from Cynodon dactylon 

roots were larger and higher than those of Echinochloa crusgalli. Citric acid, malonic 

acid, acetic acid and malic acid were the same LMWOAs released from the two types of 

plants. The contents of acetic acid were the highest among all LMWOAs, which were 0.765 

and 0.261 mmol&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa crusgalli roots, 

respectively.Citric acid, malonic acid and acetic acid were the same LMWOAs detected from 

their rhizosphere soils. In the citric acid, malonic acid and acetic acid desorption 

test, the desorption captivities of Pb were inhibited when the concentration of LMWOAs 

was lower than 1 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The desorption ability displayed a 

decreasing order of malonic acid&gt;citric acid&gt;acetic acid. However, the three LMWOAs 

promoted the desorption of Pb in soil when their concentrations were higher than 1 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The desorption ability displayed a decreasing 

order of citric acid&gt;malonic acid&gt;acetic acid. During the entire process of 

desorption, 0-240 min was the fast reaction stage, and the remaining time was the slow 

reaction stage. The pseudo-second order kinetics equation could fit best for the kinetic 

process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite was synthesized by modifying calcium-

based bentonite with Nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>. The products before and after modification 

were characterized via the approach of X-ray power diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron 

microscope(SEM).The effect of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on mercury removal from 

aqueous solutions of HgCl<inf>2</inf>was studied at different dosage, pH, adsorption time 

and the initial concentration of Hg<sup>2+</sup>was investigated and compared with the 

bentonite by indoor simulation experiment, as well as the orthogonal experiments to 

determine the optimal condition of Hg<sup>2+</sup>adsorption. The experimental results 

showed: after modified by TiO<inf>2</inf>, TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite particles 

were apparently smaller, the basal spacing was increased and with a loose and porous 

structure. The adsorption rates of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on 

Hg<sup>2+</sup>were increased compared with bentonite. The Hg<sup>2+</sup>adsorption 

rates were increased with the increasing dosages, pH and adsorption time. The adsorption 

rates were higher than 98.0% when the dosage was 1.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, pH 7.0, and 

the adsorption time was 120 min. The adsorption rates became smaller with increasing 

initial concentration of Hg<sup>2+</sup>. False secondary dynamic equation could describe 

the adsorption of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on Hg<sup>2+</sup>, and the 

chemical adsorption was dominant. The adsorption isotherm of Hg<sup>2+</sup>conformed to 

Langmuir equation, indicating that the adsorption of Hg<sup>2+</sup>was typical monolayer 

adsorption. The optimal experimental condition was: dosage of 2.0 g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, pH 8.0, adsorption time of 16 h and the initial Hg<sup>2+</sup>concentration of 

45 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Under this condition, the adsorption rate was 99.9%, and the

Abstract:To get a better understanding of the microbial autotrophic carbon sequestration 

potential of paddy fields and its mechanisms, soil incubation experiment was conducted 

for four representative paddy soils. The molecular biological methods [quantitative PCR 

(qPCR), clone library and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) 

technique] based on cbbL and cbbM genes encoding the key enzymes [ribulose-1, 5-

bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO)] of Calvin cycle were used to determine the 

abundance and diversity of autotrophic microbes. The results showed that, after 45 days 

of incubation, carbon dioxide fixation autotrophic microbial abundances were generally 

increased compared with those before incubation, and cbbL gene abundances were 

approximately three magnitudes higher than those of cbbM. Dominant microbial populations 

varied among the four paddy soils, and most of these OTUs were distantly related to known 

sequences, only part of them could be grouped into Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. RDA 

analysis results showed that soil organic carbon (SOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), 

pH, clay, silk and sand content had significant effects on the CO<inf>2</inf>fixation 

microbial community. Consequently, the results of this study provide significant 

reference to understand the role of microorganisms in carbon cycle process. The results 

are helpful for providing a scientific basis for scientific management of paddy soil 

fertility and low carbon agriculture construction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Based on water quality monitoring data of Lake Erhai from 1990 to 2013, the 

yearly and seasonally response characteristics of algal chlorophyll-a to total nitrogen 

(TN), total phosphorus (TP) and water temperature was investigated using quantile 

regression method. It indicated that water temperature was always the primary limiting 

factor of algal biomass indicated by chlorophyll a (Chl-a) across recent 24 years, but 

its limiting effect on algal Chl-a content was kept descending sharply and replaced much 

by nutrients (e.g. P, N) with the increasing eutrophic level. Especially the slope values 

of TP on Chl-a were kept ascending from -0.3 to 0.8. Since 2002, the positive effect of 

TN on Chl-a presented slow descending tendency, and P became the most important limiting 

nutrient factor of algal growth. According to the seasonal variation analysis, water 

temperature and N had dominant effects on algal Chl-a in spring and autumn, but they were 

replaced by P in the case of Chl-a&gt;8 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in spring. In summer, N 

and P had strong interactive impacts on the algal growth, and the positive effect of P 

was stronger than that of N in the case of Chl-a&gt;3 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. In 

winter, algal biomass was co-limited by temperature and P. It suggested that P reduction 

is the prior choice of eutrophication control of Lake Erhai, and simultaneously reducing 

N load is necessary in the background of global warming. In addition,so far a emergency 

controlling measure should be taken to monitor algal blooming due to sharp ascending of 

water temperature within a few days in spring and autumn. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The single-stage A/O and multi-stage A/O processes were simulated by sequencing 

batch reactors (SBRs) with alternate stirring and aeration. The removal efficiency of 

nitrogen and the release mechanism of N<inf>2</inf>O were studied under the identical 

conditions of influent quality, hydraulic retention time (HRT), sludge retention time

(SRT), temperature and anoxic/oxic (A/O) retention time ratio. Experimental results 

showed that COD or ammonia-nitrogen removal had no significant difference between the 

single-stage and the multi-stage A/O processes for the influent quality equivalent to 

municipal wastewater. However, TN removal efficiency of the former was better than the 

later with 72.1% and 52.2%, respectively. In the conversion of total nitrogen, during the 

typical cycle in the single-stage A/O and multi-stage A/O processes, the yields of 

N<inf>2</inf>O were 16.95 mg and 3.95 mg, respectively. The conversion rate, which is the 

ratio of N<inf>2</inf>O yield and TN removal, was respectively 11.47% and 4.11%. 

N<inf>2</inf>O production and emission occurred mainly in aerobic (nitrification) phase 

while there was little N<inf>2</inf>O emission in anoxic (denitrification) phase. 

Although the dominant species of AOB was both Nitrosomonas in the single-stage A/O and 

the multi-stage A/O processes under the same operating conditions, it was more conducive 

to the growth of nitrifying bacteria (AOB, NOB) in the single-stage A/O process with the 

greater abundance of Nitrosomonas. Meanwhile, the type and abundance of NOB in the 

single-stage A/O process were significantly more than in the multi-stage A/O process too. 

Therefore, it is more competitive to deal with the high-strengthening ammonia-nitrogen 

wastewater in the single-stage A/O process. In the actual operation of wastewater 

treatment, using appropriate partitions of A/O or oxygen-supplying modes can not only 

result in better nitrogen removal but also decrease the secondary pollution caused by 

N<inf>2</inf>O to the atmosphere. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on environmental statistical data and emission factor, an anthropogenic 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission inventory was established for the Chang-Zhu-

Tan region, and a grid with spatial resolution of 3 km&times;3 km was built according to 

the spatial feature data. Ozone formation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol 

(SOA) formation potential of anthropogenic sources were also estimated. The results 

showed that the total anthropogenic VOCs emission was about 113.49 kt in Chang-Zhu-Tan 

region and the main sources were industrial processes, solvent utilization and vehicles 

with the VOCs emission of 35.88 kt, 28.72 kt and 22.13 kt, respectively. Paving pitch and 

architecture wall painting accounted for the majority of the solvent utilization and the 

building materials industry accounted for 75.34% of VOCs emission from the industrial 

processes. Liling was the largest contributor compared to the other cities in Chang-Zhu-

Tan region, where the VOCs emission from these anthropogenic sources in 2014 was 16.58 

kt. The total OFP of these sources was 375.33 kt, in which solvent utilization 

contributed 27.28% and the O<inf>3</inf>generative capacity of biomass burning was the 

largest. Solvent utilization contributed 35.35% to the total SOA formation potentials and 

its SOA generative capacity was also the largest. The spatial distribution 

characteristics revealed that the VOCs emission mostly originated from urban area. &copy;

Abstract:Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has potential in recovering bioelectricity 

from different types of waste, which attracts more and more attention in the field of 

environment and energy. However, low power density, high cost and low substrate 

degradation rate, closely associated with anode performance, limit its practical 

application. In this study, proportional polyaniline (PANI) together with graphene was 

chosen to obtain the PANI dopped graphene composite. The as-received composite was 

modified onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The results of electrochemical 

analysis showed that the optimal mass ratio of graphene was 20% for cyclic voltammetry 

(CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis. The anodes with 5% graphene produced a 

peak power density of (831&plusmn;45) mW&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, which was 1.2, 1.3, 1.3, 

1.5, 1.8 times of those with 20% graphene, 1% graphene, graphene, PANI and carbon cloth, 

respectively. Moreover, 5% graphene reactors showed the maximum values in output voltage, 

open-circuit voltage (OCV), chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate, coulombic 

efficiency (CE), and biomass density. The polarization resistance was only (24&plusmn;2) 

&Omega; in 5% graphene reactors, which was 19.8% of that of carbon cloth. The results of 

electrochemical analysis were not consistent with those of bioelectrochemical analysis, 

demonstrating that the biocompatibility of electrode was one of the important factors 

affecting MFC performance. 5% graphene anode showed full advantages of graphene and PANI, 

which improved the performance of MFC. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Zirconium modified diatomite was obtained by modifying raw diatomite with 

zirconium and the mass fraction of zirconia was 12.39% in the obtained material, which 

was proved to be amorphous via XRD. SEM images showed that porous floccules covered the 

surface of diatomite after modification and the specific surface area of the zirconium 

modified diatomite was 75.22 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, larger than that of raw 

diatomite (14.00 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). XPS spectra indicated that 

zirconia and diatomite were bonded together through chemical linkage, rather than 

physical deposition. The adsorption isotherm of phosphate by zirconium modified diatomite 

was fitted better to the Langmuir model with a calculated maximum adsorption capacity 

reaching 10.56 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The adsorption amount of zirconium oxide 

component in the material was estimated to be 81.67 mg&middot;g<sup>-

previous studies. The adsorption amount of phosphate by zirconium modified diatomite 

decreased with the increase of pH. The adsorption was proved to be a ligand exchange 

process, supported by the XPS spectra of Zr3d region before and after adsorption. 

Chloride ion, sulfate ion and nitrate ion did not inhibit the adsorption of phosphate on 

the material, whereas coexistence of bicarbonate ions competed with phosphate ions to a 

certain extent. When treating eutrophic lake water with a phosphate concentration of 2

Abstract:In suit inundation experiments of three typical herbaceous plants were conducted 

in field to investigate the mercury release characteristics of plants grown in the 

water-level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir after flooding by regulating 

the water level. To realize this objective, this study mainly focused on the dynamic 

change of total mercury (THg) concentrations in plants after inundation, the release rate 

and flux of THg from plants and its release load in this region. The results showed that 

the release process of THg in plants fitted exponential curve, suggesting that mercury 

release rate was quick in the initial inundation period and then flat afterwards as the 

decomposing plants. The THg release amounts (followed the order of Alternanthera 

philoxeroides&gt;Polygonum lapathifolium&gt;Cynodon dactylon) were probably influenced by 

initial C/N ratio and THg concentrations of plants. The decrement of THg concentrations 

in per unit mass of plants residue was found to be generally proportional to their 

initial C/N ratio, while the THg release amounts were generally proportional to the 

initial THg concentrations of plants. The total release loads of three plants 

(Alternanthera philoxeroides, Polygonum lapathifolium, Cynodon dactylon) were estimated 

to be 167.31, 78.13 and 88.33 mg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, according to their 

weight distribution and biomass in the water-level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges

Abstract:To study the chemical composition and pollution sources of the fine particulate 

matter during the four seasons in Nanning, single particle aerosol mass spectrometry was 

performed to characterize the fine particulate matter in Nanning during the four seasons. 

The correlation (R<sup>2</sup>) between the fine particulate matter number concentration 

and the mass concentration of the fine particulate matter obtained using SPAMS was all 

above 0.75 in the observation period. The particle number concentration could reflect the 

atmospheric pollution situation to some degree. The average mass spectrogram of the fine 

particulate matter reflected that secondary pollutants were more in winter and spring in 

Nanning. The Art-2a classification method was used to classify the chemical composition 

of the fine particulate matter. The results showed that the number concentration of the 

chemical composition and sources of pollution had differences in the four seasons. 

Chemical composition could reflect pollution sources. The elevated elemental carbon was 

positively with increasing coal combustion in winter. The elevated organic carbon was 

positively correlated with motor vehicle source in autumn. Rich potassium particles, 

levoglucosan and substance were positively correlated with biomass burning source and 

dust in summer. The rich sodium particles and heavy metals were higher in spring. During 

the process of increasing pollution, the contributions of biomass and coal combustion 

sources were large. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming at the special geo-climatic conditions and typical problems constraining 

the development of villages and towns, making villages and towns have the following 

characteristics: green and low-carbon, energy saving and environmental friendly, the 

coupling process of adsorption by carbonized rice husk particles and biological oxidation 

using Bacillus megaterium bacteria was developed for purifying high iron-manganese from 

groundwater in the cold villages and towns. The quick start-up method of biological 

filter at low temperature was studied. Based on the contact oxidation and biological 

method, iron removal efficiency and reaction rate in different filtration layers under 

different filtration conditions were comparatively analyzed, and iron removal mechanism 

of biological filter was determined. Filter materials and the solid samples in backwash 

water at different stages were characterized and the manganese removal mechanism of 

biological filter was analyzed through SEM, FTIR, XPS, Raman spectra and EPR. The results 

showed that the active biological membrane reached mature and stable only after 15 d with 

the operation mode of bacteria liquid cycle and low filtration rate in the filter column. 

The effluent concentration met the requirements of drinking water quality (GB 5749-2006) 

in the stable operation process. Fe, Mn and bacteria were lower than 0.3 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 0.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 100 CFU&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Iron removal mechanism relied mainly on the physical and chemical effects, 

supplemented by biological function. During the biofilm culturing stage and initial 

stable operation stage of filter column, manganese removal relied mainly on the 

biological effect. The physical chemistry was preferred at later stable operation stage. 

The study provides technical support for the applications of treating collectively

Abstract:Characterization of the forms of phosphorus (P) in four organic composts 

including compost of hulls and leaves of Castanea mollissima, edible fungi residues, corn 

stalks and chicken manure (BYZ), compost of edible fungi residues and chicken manure 

(ZF), composts of hulls and leaves of C. mollissima, edible fungi residues and chicken 

manure (BZ1 and BZ2) in Chinese chestnut producing area was conducted by sequential P 

fractionation developed by Dou et al. Field trial was conducted to study the effects of 

compost application on leaf phosphorus content of Castanea mollissima. The results showed 

that total phosphorus content (TP) of organic composts ranked as follows: BZ1 (10.61 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;ZF (9.03 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;BYZ (8.56 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;BZ2 (7.68 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>), and the inorganic 

phosphorus (P<inf>i</inf>) accounted for 62.88%-73.62% of the total phosphorus in the 

organic composts. The content and proportion of HCl-P in the total fractionated 

phosphorus (P<inf>rt</inf>) was the highest among P forms in ZF, while that of 

H<inf>2</inf>O-P was the highest in BYZ, BZ1 and BZ2.The content of NaOH-P was very low 

in all the composts. Active H<inf>2</inf>O-Por NaHCO<inf>3</inf>-P had the highest 

inorganic phosphorus proportion (89.17%-96.00%) of all the P forms. The major 

P<inf>i</inf>forms in BZ2 were H<inf>2</inf>O-and HCl-extractable P fractions, while 

H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>, HCl-P<inf>i</inf>and NaHCO<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>i</inf>were 

major P<inf>i</inf>forms in BYZ, BZ1 and ZF. Residual-P was the predominant organic 

phosphorus form, and BZ2 showed the highest Residual-P proportion of the total 

fractionated phosphorus (P<inf>rt</inf>) among all the composts. Leaf phosphorus contents 

per unit area of Castanea mollissima by field trial on the added phosphorus-equivalent 

basis were expressed as: BZ2&gt;BZ1&gt;BYZ&gt;ZF&gt;CK. Increment of leaf phosphorus 

content per unit area in Julyand per month on average showed positive relationship with 

the content and proportion of H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>in the total fractionated 

phosphorus of composts, which presumably played a key role in leaf phosphorus absorption 

of C. mollissima measured in the year of deep concentrated fertilization. The results 

suggested that composts of hulls and leaves of C. mollissima, edible fungi residues and 

chicken manure (BZ2) was a good choice in given area for aerobic composting raw material 

system in which organic wastes from Chinese chestnut industry accounted for 80% (hulls 

and leaves of Castanea mollissima and edible fungi residues accounted for 60% and 20% 

respectively), which had a high proportion of H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>and organic 

Residual-P pool and led to the highest leaf phosphorus content of C. mollissima. &copy;

Abstract:During the 29th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHIANRE), 

individual particle samples were collected from South China to Antarctic during November 

2012 to April 2013. A transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray 

spectrometry (TEM-EDS) was employed to analyze the morphology, mixing state, composition, 

and relative abundances of individual aerosol particles. Atmospheric particles were 

classified into four types: sea salt, mineral, S-rich and C-rich. Sea salt aerosols (SSA) 

were dominant in the marine particles from South China to Antarctic, and they were 

further divided into three sub-types: fresh SSA, partially aged SSA, and fully aged SSA. 

Partially and fully aged SSA accounted for 86% of total SSA number. Interestingly, 

surface of partially aged SSA and fully aged SSA contained abundant rod-like 

Na<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>. Mineral dust particles increased in the coastal areas which 

were influenced by continental air. In addition, we found that S-rich particles were 

abundant at two sampling sites (the middle eastern of Indian Ocean and Antarctic inland). 

The back trajectories of air masses indicated that these S-rich particles were mainly 

formed via the oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) emitted from the marine 

phytoplanktons. Our study suggests that the SSA aging process in the South Hemisphere 

atmosphere was controlled by the DMS which is different from the SSA aging under the 

influence of anthropogenic pollutants in the North Hemisphere. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:An anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated to investigate the 

recovery performance of ANAMMOX reactor after the inhibition of 100% seawater 

concentration. The results showed that the nitrogen removal performance of ANAMMOX 

reactor suffered inhibition of high salinity concentration. However, it could enter a 

period of stable nitrogen removal efficiency again after an interim stable period and a 

recovery period. The nitrogen removal rate (NRR) could reach 0.52 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which was similar to the control group, containing 

10% seawater and having a NRR of 0.462 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. 

The modified Logistic model and modified Gompertz model were revised and their 

application field was broadened. The re-modified Logistic model was suggested to be used 

to simulate the NRR recovery process of ANAMMOX reactor that suffered inhibition of 100% 

seawater concentration. The doubling time of NRR was calculated to be 11.359 d using the 

prediction formula established for the recovery time of NRR. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Electrode corrosion and salt crystallization are important challenges that 

restrict the engineering application of electrokinetic technology. In the present study, 

using stainless steel as an electrode, and deionized water (DW), citric acid (CA) and 

polyaspartic acid (PASP) as electrolytes, Pb/Cu-contaminated soil was remediated by 

electrokinetic. All of the EK experiments were conducted in a 2 L soil cell reactor with 

a moisture level of about 35% blended with 1000 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>of Pb and 778 

mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>of Cu under a constant voltage gradient (1 V&middot;cm<sup>-

1</sup>, 2 V&middot;cm<sup>-1</sup>) for 150 h. The removal efficiency of heavy metals 

and influencing factors, as well as the phenomenon and mechanism of electrode corrosion 

and salt crystallization were explored. The experimental results showed under the action 

of electric field, the Ca in the test soil would move to the cathode, and the crystal was 

formed in the alkaline condition. Additionally, the conductivity of the electrode was 

reduced. During the EK process, water at the anode was primarily oxidized, undergoing a 

reduction reaction at the cathode. Because H<sup>+</sup>and OH<sup>-</sup>were 

transported through the soil by electromigration and electro-osmotic flow (EOF), changes 

in soil pH could occur. The concentrations distribution of Pb-Cu appeared to be related 

to the distribution of soil pH in the cell, which might be associated with the desorption 

and hydroxide precipitation of Pb-Cu. PASP resulted in obvious inhibitory effect on the 

corrosion of stainless steel electrode, CA and PASP could clearly destroy the formation 

of CaCO<inf>3</inf>crystal, while barely effectively disrupted the formation of Ca(OH)

Abstract:In order to study the variation patterns of bacterial activity in water 

distributed networks, this paper studied a simulated water distribution network in a 

northern China city. Microscopic examination and bacterial counts were conducted on 

acridine orange-stained bacteria using fluorenscence microscopy to ensure precise 

quantitative analysis. The ratio of viable bacterial count to total bacterial count was 

used to characterize the overall bacterial activity in the drinking water distribution 

network, as well as to study the impacts imposed by various factors. As indicated, this 

method was proved to be rapid, reliable and repeatable in bacterial counts. Populations 

of viable bacteria and total bacteria in water samples were 10<sup>3</sup>-

10<sup>4</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>and 10<sup>4</sup>-

10<sup>5</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. There was a positive 

correlation between the bacterial activity and water temperature, turbidity, and flow 

velocity. There was also a negative correlation between bacterial activity and residual 

chlorine after the operation stabilized. The capacity of different forms of bacteria in 

the simulated water distribution networks with tolerance of sodium hypochlorite was in 

the following order: long-rod-shaped, spherical-shaped, short-rod-shaped, and curved-

shaped. The reactivation and reproduction capability of rod-shaped bacteria was stronger. 

There were more short-rod-shaped bacteria in summer water samples than in winter. &copy;

Abstract:Intact ladderane lipids are a special kind of phospholipids in the anammoxosome 

membrane of AnAOB. Phospholipid organic mixture was extracted respectively from four 

sludge samples in anaerobic EGSB reactor,aerobic SBR reactor, autotrophic nitrogen 

removal SBBR reactor and anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor. Phospholipid extracts 

of sludge were detected by the HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method to determine the types of intact 

ladderane lipids, and the specificity of intact ladderane lipids was also analyzed, at 

the same time, the bacterial community structure of autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR 

reactor and anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor was determined by high-throughput 

sequencing technology. Analytical results of intact ladderane lipids showed that intact 

ladderane lipids were not detected from anaerobic EGSB reactor and aerobic SBR reactor, 

and were detected from autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR reactor and anaerobic ammonium 

oxidation EGSB reactor. Five kinds of intact ladderane lipids were detected in the 

phospholipid extract of sludge from autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR reactor, and seven 

kinds of intact ladderane lipids were detected in the phospholipid extract of sludge from 

anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor. The results of high-throughput sequencing 

confirmed that the autotrophic nitrogen SBBR reactor contained AnAOB of the genera 

Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Jettenia, and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB 

reactor contained AnAOB of the genera Candidatus Kuenenia and Candidatus Jettenia. These 

results illustrated that intact ladderane lipids were the peculiar phospholipids in 

AnAOB. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to reveal the effects of heavy metal pollution on microbial community 

compositions and microbial community diversity in tailing area, we conducted an 

experiment by examining the microbial community in tailing water, sediments and tailing 

sand in Shibahe copper tailing in Zhongtiao Mountain. Differences in microbial community 

compositions in different habitats and their relationships with environmental parameters 

were analyzed. The results showed that the richness and diversity of microbial community 

were the largest in tailing sand, but the lowest in tailing water. Microbial community 

compositions were similar between tailing water and sediments. There were significant 

positive correlations between the relative abundance of the dominant family 

(Sphingomonadaceae) and contents of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn), while there 

were significant negative correlations between relative abundances of Caulobacteraceae, 

Methylobacteriaceae, Nocardioidaceae, Microbacteriaceae, Micrococcaceae, Streptococcaceae 

and Paenibacillaceae and heavy metal contents. It showed that most of the bacteria were 

inhibited by heavy metals, but Sphingomonadaceae had a higher tolerance to heavy metals 

which may indicate that it has a potential for remediation of heavy metal contamination.

Abstract:Sanshan island of Taihu Lake National Wetland Park in Suzhou was taken as a case 

study to explore the relationship between land use types and water quality under 

different spatial and temporal conditions. Firstly, principal component analysis was used 

to calculate the comprehensive index of water quality for a given sampling site. 

Secondly, landscape development intensity index (LDI), which can represent combined 

effects of land use types, was calculated based on GIS spatial analysis technology. 

Finally, overall correlation between water quality and land use types was obtained by 

using Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed that the water quality varied with 

the spatial distribution of the wetland park. Totally, water quality of west region was 

good and water quality of east region was poor; Built-up land and water quality 

integrated index exhibited obvious positive correlation. And natural water and water 

quality index was significantly negatively correlated; By building relationship of water 

quality index and LDI index within 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 m 

radius buffer, Pearson's r values between them were 0.641, 0.678, 0.691, 0.685, 0.691, 

0.695, 0.680, 0.653 and 0.649 respectively (P&lt;0.01). These statistics indicated 

obvious and stable overall correlation between land use types and water quality. This can 

reflect a variety of land use types'comprehensive effects on wetland water quality, and 

partly overcome the weakness of incomplete and difficult explanation for water quality 

changes with single type of land use. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to understand the changes of dissolved carbon and dissolved nitrogen in 

the water of Three Gorges Reservoir, this research was carried out once a week by the 

bank of Yangtze River in Fuling beach from March 2011 to August 2012, and the variation 

characteristics of dissolved C, N composition and their source were analyzed. The results 

showed that the concentration of DOC ranged from 0.64 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 9.07 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and had obvious seasonal change: summer&gt;spring and 

autumn&gt;winter. Annual total input of DOC was 1.78 &times; 10<sup>9</sup>kg, the 

seasonal change trend of the total input of DOC was similar to that of the concentration 

of DOC; The concentration of DTN ranged from 2.59 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 4.35 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>: spring&gt;winter&gt;summer&gt;autumn, annual total input was 

1.32 &times; 10<sup>9</sup>kg,the seasonal input changed in the order of 

summer&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;winter, among them DON, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N 

accounted for 30.35%-63.45% and 35.87%-67.72%, respectively. DOC was affected by 

precipitation and air temperature, and mainly came from the exogenous input, in the 

spring and summer its exogenous input increased with the increase of rainfall runoff, but 

in the autumn and winter the endogenous contribution increased; DTN was relatively 

affected by human emissions and water dilution. Correlation analysis showed that there 

was a significant negative correlation between DOC and DON (P&lt;0.05), DOC/DON ratio 

usually reflects the source of the DOM, the DOC/DON in the water of three gorges 

reservoir ranged from 0.35 to 7.28, the source of DOM had obvious seasonal 

characteristics. DOC/DON was the highest in summer, and the DOM mainly came from 

watershed erosion; DOC/DON was the lowest in winter, and the DOM mainly came from living 

sewage and endogenous field; the DOC/DON ratios in spring and autumn were higher than 

those in winter and lower than those in summer, and the DOM sources included watershed 

erosion, living sewage and endogenous field. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to explore the spatial distribution and source of perfluorinated 

compounds (PFCs), eleven mixed urban soil samples were collected from 7 cities in Anhui 

Province in 2013. Fifteen individual PFCs were detected by ultra-performance liquid 

chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and principal components analysis 

was used to trace the different sources of PFCs in urban soil. The results showed that 

the total concentration of PFCs (&sum;PFCs) ranged from 1.15 to 5.98 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>dry weight (dw), with an average concentration of 2.69 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. 

perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) with a concentration range of n.d. -3.56 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an average concentration of 0.96 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>was 

the dominant PFC contaminant, followed by perfluorooctane acid (PFOA) with a 

concentration range of n.d. -2.89 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an average concentration of 

0.64 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The highest &sum;PFCs concentration in all selected mixed 

urban soil samples was from Chuzhou City with the value of 5.89 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

followed by Jingxian County of Xuancheng City (4.04 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). 

Interestingly, the PFOS concentration was as high as 3.56 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>in 

Jingxian County, accounting for 88.1% of the total PFCs concentration, which might be 

influenced by paper industry in this area. Comparing to other soil samples in China, 

&sum;PFCs concentration of urban soil from Anhui Province was at middle level. Over 60% 

of &sum;PFCs in urban soil of Anhui province could be attributed to the four principal 

components, represented by PFOA, perfluorobutane sulfonate, perfluorododecanoic acid, 

perfluorobutane acid and PFOS. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Effects of different vegetation types (Ulmus pumila, Larix gmelinii, Armeniaca 

vulgaris, Picea asperata and Robinia pseudoacacia) and reclamation years (15 and 20 

years) on soil bacterial community structure in reclaimed Antaibao opencast mine areas 

were investigated using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis 

(PCR-DGGE) and clone sequencing. For 20-year reclaimed soils, the significantly highest 

and lowest bacterial diversity were found in U. pumila and A. vulgaris stand, 

respectively, whereas no significant differences were found between the other three 

vegetation types. Under 15-year plantations, soil bacterial diversity index of P. 

asperata was significantly higher than that of R. pseudoacacia. Soil bacterial diversity 

index significantly increased in R. pseudoacacia planted soils but decreased in P. 

asperata treatment with the increase of reclaimed years. No significant change of soil 

bacterial community structure was observed in the same reclamation years based on the 

similarity coefficient analysis, cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). 

Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that bacterial diversity index was 

significantly positively correlated with soil pH. Nitrospira, Sphingomonas, Arthrobacter, 

Brachybacterium, Rhizobium as well as Mesorhizobium, which play important roles in the 

nitrogen cycle, degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other organic matter, 

were identified by clone sequencing of the DGGE bands. Our results indicated that U. 

pumila and P. asperata were conducive to the recovery of soil bacterial diversity. The 

most dominant bacterial community from reclaimed mine soil would be beneficial for 

restoring wasteland contaminated soil and improving soil fertility. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface dusts 

attracts great attentions due to their properties of threatening human health. Twenty-

nine surface dust samples were collected from driving-schools in a city of Henan. 

Concentrations of 16 priority PAHs were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 

(GC-MS). The health risks exposed to dust PAHs for three different scenarios (working for 

5 a, 10 a and 20 a in driving-school) were estimated by the health risk assessment model 

(ILCRs). Source identification was analyzed by diagnostic ratio, composition analysis, 

and principal component analysis. The results showed that concentrations of the &sum;PAHs 

in dusts ranged from 198.21 to 3 400.89 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, with a mean of 

908.72 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Among individual PAHs, the contents of naphthalene 

(Nap), phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant) and fluoranthene (Flu) were higher, and the 

content of dibenzo[a, h]anthracene (DBA) was the lowest. The dominant compounds were 2-3 

ring PAHs, which accounted for 55.79%, while the 4-6 ring PAHs accounted for 44.21%. The 

health risks exposed to PAHs in dust in three different scenarios were 

9.27&times;10<sup>-8</sup>, 1.85&times;10<sup>-7</sup>, and 3.71&times;10<sup>-

7</sup>respectively; only sample J11 was with potential health risk in scenario 3, and 

the other samples were all without risks. Average daily doses by dermal contact of dust 

particles for the PAHs was the main exposure way. PAHs in dusts of driving-school were 

mainly originated from the combustion of fossil fuels and mixture combustion. The major 

sources of dust PAHs in farmland area driving-schools were natural gas and diesel 

combustion (56.44%), coal combustion (26.55%), gasoline combustion and the leakage 

(17.01%); dust PAHs in industrial area driving-schools were from mixture combustion 

(76.26%), gasoline combustion and the leakage (22.85%), coking and coal combustion 

(0.89%); and dust PAHs in mixed area driving-schools were from coal combustion (45.57%), 

natural gas and diesel combustion (45.41%), gasoline combustion and the leakage (9.02%). 

The concentrations and health risks of heavy metals in dusts were closely related to the 

surroundings around driving-schools and the previous land use status. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of four modes of water 

managements on soil Eh values, bioavailability of soil Cd, migration and accumulation of 

Cd in rice. These four modes of water managements were moistening throughout the entire 

period of rice growth (M), moistening before filling stage and flooding after filling 

stage (M-F), flooding before filling stage and moistening after filling stage (F-M), and 

flooding throughout the entire period of rice growth (F). The results indicated that the 

exchangeable contents of Cd increased firstly and then declined with the soil Eh values 

changing from negative to positive. Compared with M, the other three modes (M-F, F-M, and 

F) significantly reduced the contents of Cd in all rice tissues, including roots, stems, 

husks and brown rice. Meanwhile, Cd contents in brown rice due to the treatments of M-F 

and F were 0.19 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 0.10 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. These Cd contents were lower than the limits of 0.2 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>in national food safety standard (GB 2762-2012). Compared with M, the other three 

modes significantly decreased Cd accumulation amounts in the aboveground parts of rice 

and also decreased Cd translocation factors in rice. There were significant positive 

exponential relations between soil Eh values and Cd accumulation amounts in the 

aboveground parts of rice, Cd translocation factors in rice, or Cd contents in brown 

rice. The rice biomass due to M-F treatment reached the maximum among the four modes. It 

was worthy to be mentioned that although Weiyou 46 was considered a variety rice with 

high Cd accumulation, Cd content in rice brown of Weiyou 46 could be lower than 0.2 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in the 5 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of Cd contaminated soil 

through proper water managements. In summary, M-F treatment ensured high rice yield with 

low Cd contents in brown rice and could be recommended as the irrigation mode in rice 

production. Simultaneously, maintaining soil Eh value between -160-130 mV was also 

important after the filling stage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, we wanted to explore the impacts of N wet deposition on N export 

and trace the N source by isotopic method through monitoring N wet deposition in Loess 

Plateau's Dam Watershed in alternating wet and dry seasons, through measuring N wet 

deposition, rainfall-runoff and base flow process and analyzing concentration change of 

different forms of N. The results showed that there were 11 rainfall events in the 2015 

wet season, in which N wet deposition load reached 814.18 kg and N deposition flux was 

about 4.26 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, while there were three rainfall events in the 2015 

dry season, in which N wet deposition load reached 155.58 kg and N deposition flux was 

0.83 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, so it presented a great seasonal variability. By 

collecting the dynamic process of four rainfall events, we found that, different rainfall 

intensity had different influence on N export process. The contribution of N wet 

deposition of four rainfall events to N export in watershed was 16.94 kg. The ratio that 

N output load of rainfall and river in watershed N output load was 14.45%-64.84%, which 

showed that the contribution of rainfall to watershed N transport was big. The variation 

range of &delta;<sup>15</sup>N in Loess Plateau's Dam Watershed was big, which was -

0.844&permil;-12.791&permil;, and the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O was within the range of 8.166 

&permil;-15.115 &permil; in the dam watershed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Soil active organic carbon is the most important carbon pool and a good 

indicator in ecosystem management due to its great significance in soil carbon cycling 

and soil quality. In order to investigate the effect of biochar(BC)addition on soil 

organic matter fractions, apple tree twigs were used to produce BC at 300, 400, 500 and 

600&#8451;, respectively. Elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) 

spectroscopy were used to determine the characteristics of BC. Four kinds of BC were 

added into soils at five application rates(0, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3%) and incubated at 

25&#8451; in lab for over 360 days. Soil organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass carbon 

(MBC), water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and readily oxidized organic carbon (ROC) were 

measured during the incubation. The mass fraction of carbon (C) in the generated BC 

ranged from 62.20%-80.01%, while hydrogen (H) ranged from 2.72%-5.18% and Oxygen (O) 

ranged from 15.98%-30.92%. The increasing temperature increased the mass fraction of C, 

while decreased the O and H mass content, as well as the ratio of H/C and O/C. The 

addition of BC significantly increased SOC, and the treatments amended with BC500 had the 

highest increments. Compared with the control treatment (CK), the addition of BC produced 

at temperatures below 400&#8451; increased the contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC during the 

incubation, at the end of the incubation, BC300 treatments significantly increased the 

contents by 38.25%, 82.09% and 63.53% (P&lt;0.05), respectively; BC400 treatments 

significantly increased the contents by 26.07%, 65.61% and 48.09% (P&lt;0.05), 

respectively; while lower contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC were found in the treatments 

amended with BC produced at temperatures above 400&#8451; after 40-60 d incubation. After 

360 d of incubation, the contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC were significantly decreased by 

0.27%,13.48% and 14.67% in BC500 treatments and 7.80%,14.66% and 15.79% in BC600 

treatments (except for the MBC in BC500 treatment) (P&lt;0.05). The relative contents of 

ROC ranged from 3.39% to 15.65%, BC application decreased the relative content of ROC, 

suggesting that the increase was in proportion to the stability of organic carbon in the 

soil. Considering the content and quality of SOC, when the BC products were applied to 

the Loutu soil, 500&#8451; was the optimal temperature for preparing apple-derived BC due 

to its significant increase of the soil organic carbon and a slight decrease of the 

relative content of soil active organic carbon. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Based on the MODIS-Aqua aerosol optical depth (AOD) products from 2003 to 2014, 

Nighttime Lights Time data from DMSP satellites and basic meteorological data, the AOD 

spatial distributions of interannual and seasonal variations over three northeastern 

provinces of China(Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang) were analyzed. It was found that there 

was a northeast-southwest area of high annual average AOD composed of Dalian, Shenyang, 

Changchun, Harbin and other cities, the 12-year average AOD value was 0.4-0.8. The low 

AOD occurred in the eastern and northern areas of the three northeastern provinces of 

China, where the forest-covering rate was high, and the 12-year average AOD value was 

less than 0.3. The seasonal variations of annual average AOD showed an increasing trend 

from spring to summer, then decreased in autumn and increased again in winter. The 

interannual variations of AOD over three northeastern provinces of China showed a 

decreasing trend in most areas, but the increasing trend occurred in the northeast-

southwest region with the axis formed by Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin, revealing the 

polarization in recent 10 years over three northeastern provinces of China. In addition, 

spatial distribution of annual average AOD over three northeastern provinces of China in 

the years of strong and weak Western North Pacific Summer Monsoon was studied. Affected 

by the surface wind field, annual average AOD in weak monsoon years was higher than that 

in strong monsoon years. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:North China Plain is an important region of grain production. Soil fertility and 

grain production in this region are significantly influenced by the levels of soil carbon 

and nitrogen. In order to explore the effects of agricultural practices on the levels of 

soil carbon and nitrogen, a long-term field experiment was started in 1999 in Quzhou 

County, Hebei Province. Four treatments, including following nature (F), tillage without 

straw (N), no tillage with crushed straw incorporation (S), and tillage with crushed 

straw incorporation (TS), were chosen to collect soil samples at the layers of 0-20 cm 

and 20-40 cm in 2013. Soil organic carbon (SOC), soil inorganic carbon (SIC), total 

carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>, 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>and &delta;<sup>15</sup>N were analyzed. The results 

indicated that compared with F, SOC stocks of N, S and TS decreased by 21.6%, 12.3% and 

3.4% in the 0-20 cm soil layer, but the changes of SIC stocks were not significant. In 

the 20-40 cm soil layer, the changes of the SOC stocks were not significant, but the SIC 

stocks increased by 4.1% (N), 7.3% (S) and 5.0% (TS) compared to F, respectively. Major 

contribution of SIC increase was the pedogenic inorganic carbonate (PIC), which increased 

by 97%-261% in the farmland soil. In the soil layer of 0-20 cm, the values of 

&delta;<sup>15</sup>N, &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>and 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>in the farmland treatments were higher than those of 

F, meanwhile, the values of &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>were significantly higher 

than that of F. In the soil layer of 20-40 cm, the values of &delta;<sup>15</sup>N and 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>were lower than those of F, but the value of 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>showed the opposite trend. In North China Plain, 

lithogenic inorganic carbonate (LIC) of farmland soil decomposed and PIC increased by the 

soil-crop system, which provided CO<inf>2</inf>for the formation of PIC, and straw 

returning was an effective agricultural practice to restore the soil carbon decreased by 

tillage. There should be more long-term monitoring and studies for the impacts of crop 

straw incorporation and tillage on SOC and SIC, especially for soil in deeper layers.

Abstract:To study the characteristics and sources of trace metals in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>during wintertime in Beijing, PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from 

December 2014 to January 2015 by a middle volume sampler in the urban area of Beijing for 

30 consecutive days. The mass concentration of PM<inf>2.5</inf>was measured by filter 

membrane weighting method, and 16 kinds of trace metals were determined by inductively 

couple plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In addition, the pollution characteristics and 

sources of trace metals were analyzed by enrichment factor (EF) method and factor 

analysis, respectively. The results showed that the concentrations of five elements (i.e. 

K, Ca, Fe, Al and Mg) accounted for 90.7% of the total metal elements. The concentrations 

of the metal elements changed obviously between day and night. Compared with daytime, 

crustal elements like Mg and Al decreased by more than 30% while anthropogenic elements 

like Cu and Pb increased by more than 40% in nighttime. Although the concentrations of 

metal elements increased by nearly one time in heavy pollution days compared with clean 

days, the mass percent of which in PM<inf>2.5</inf>decreased from 10.9% in clean days to 

4.6% in heavy pollution days. This result suggested the accumulation of metal elements in 

heavy pollution days had a minor contribution to the increased mass concentration of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>. As the pollution episode progressed, anthropogenic elements (Cu, Zn, 

As, Se, Ag and Cd) increased faster than crustal elements (Al, Mg, Ca, Mn and Fe), which 

showed ratios ranging from 2.9 to 5.3 for anthropogenic elements and ratios ranging from 

1.2 to 1.8 for crustal elements, when compared between heavy pollution days and clean 

days. In addition, the EF value of anthropogenic elements was also increased in the 

pollution days, indicating the concentrations of these elements was further influenced by 

the anthropogenic sources. Factor analysis showed that metal elements of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>during wintertime of Beijing were mainly from coal combustion and biomass 

burning, motor vehicle and industry emissions, and re-suspension of road dust, with the 

contributions of 34.2%, 25.5% and 17.1%, respectively. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:This study investigated the effects of a widely used herbicide 2,4-

dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on power generation, pollutants removal from microbial fuel 

cells (MFCs) and microbial community changes, and also explored anode pre-aeration for 

enhanced 2,4-D removal and power generation. The results showed that when 2,4-D was 

inputted to the anode chamber of MFCs which was previously enriched with acetate sodium 

as the fuel, the voltage output and power density declined and the internal resistance 

increased apparently. The maximum power density declined to 0.057 W&middot;m<sup>-

2</sup>in the presence of 300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>2,4-D comparing to 0.151 

W&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>obtained with acetate alone (850 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), and 

the internal resistance increased from 524 &Omega; to 1 230 &Omega; correspondingly. To 

accelerate 2,4-D removal rate and reduce its inhibition to anode exoelectrogens, 6h pre-

aeration was applied to the anode chamber. Fast removal of 2,4-D was achieved during 

aeration period and simultaneous high maximum voltage output (0.42-0.47 V) was obtained. 

Anode microbial community changed after 2,4-D addition and several 2,4-D degrading 

bacteria and 2,4-D tolerant exoelectrogen were enriched. MFCs could be used for 2,4-D 

removal and simultaneous power generation through anode pre-aeration. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The evolution of sludge filteration dewaterability, floc structure and 

hydrolytic kinetics with calcium peroxide oxidation pre-treatment was investigated in 

this study. The effect of sludge characteristics with combined process of ferrous ion and 

calcium peroxide was deeply analyzed and the result suggested that the sludge dewatering 

performance was improved first and then worsened after CaO<inf>2</inf>addition. When the 

dosage was 20 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, sludge reached its optimal dewaterability. At the 

same time, sludge was effectively dissolved and the floc structure became loose and 

broken with the increase of organic matters in the supernatant. Moreover, sludge 

solubilization process followed the pseudo-zero-order kinetic equation well and the 

reaction rate of sludge with CaO<inf>2</inf>treatment was 15.2 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>. In addition, sludge floc lysis was enhanced by the 

treatment of ferrous ion and calcium peroxide oxidation, whilst sludge dewaterability was 

improved due to the reconstruction of sludge floc structure by the iron ions produced. 

This study provided theoretical basis for application of calcium peroxide pre-treatment 

and its combining technique in sludge treatment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Seasonal variations of 17 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 15 

persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed during spring and summer in 

surface water from 12 sampling sites of Baiyangdian lake to elucidate their seasonal 

pollution characteristics and sources. The results showed that total concentrations of 

PAHs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake ranged from 35.38 to 88.06 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>(46.57 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in spring and 25.64 to 301.41 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(76.23 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in summer, 

respectively, and total concentrations of OCPs ranged from 0.69 to 4.50 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(1.77 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in spring and 0.11 to 

3.20 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(0.90 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in summer, 

respectively. Seasonal pollution characteristics of PAHs in surface water during two 

different seasons showed that the total concentration of PAHs was much higher in summer 

than in spring at three sampling sites of Baiyangdian lake including Qiantang, Guancheng 

and Anxin bridge, and the level of PAHs in spring was much higher than that in summer at 

the other nine sites. While seasonal pollution characteristics of OCPs showed that the 

total concentration of OCPs was much higher in summer than in spring in samples of 

Guancheng sites, and the level of OCPs in spring was slightly higher than that in summer 

in the rest of samples. From the perspective of spatial and temporal variations in the 

composition patterns of PAHs and OCPs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake, PAHs were 

predominated by 3-ring PAHs with 45.92% and 61.36% (52.60% in average) of total PAHs in 

spring, while in summer Nap was the chief component of 2-ring PAHs in three sampling 

sites including Qiantang, Guancheng and Anxin bridge with 84.91%, 91.04% and 78.10% of 

the total, respectively, and 3-ring PAHs were primary pollutants in the other nine sites 

with 37.14% to 53.90% (48.94% in average) of the total. Residues of HCHs and DDTs were 

detected in different degrees and &beta;-HCH was the main pollutant at all sampling sites 

with 29.94% and 100% (59.87% in average) of total HCHs in spring, while &beta;-HCH was 

the predominant compounds at five sampling sites with 57.55% and 80.23% (61.98% in 

average) in summer and &alpha;-HCHs and &delta;-HCH were abundant at other sampling 

sites. Source analysis based on isomer ratios indicated that the main source of PAHs in 

Baiyangdian lake originated from combustion sources, and additional sources for several 

sampling sites could be petroleum processes. Ratios of HCH isomers and DDT congeners 

confirmed that environmental historical residues and long range atmospheric transport 

were the major sources of OCPs contamination in the study area. Compared with the water 

quality standard of China and other countries or organizations, concentrations of PAHs 

and OCPs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake did not exceed the target values of the 

standard. However, the concentrations of &alpha;-HCH and p,p'-DDD in Anxin bridge and 

Quantou sites exceeded the limit of human health ambient water quality criteria developed 

by EPA, which reflected that &alpha;-HCH and p,p'-DDD would have a potential hazards risk 

to the residents from Baiyangdian district. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Myriophyllum aquaticum, which is an important plant for constructed wetlands, 

has powerful purification ability for wastewater, however, the relationship between 

nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum aquaticum and wastewater nitrogen concentrations 

is still unclear. In this study, pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the 

effect of wastewater nitrogen levels on nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum 

aquaticum. 7 nitrogen levels were set up as following: 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 200, 400 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The results showed that when the wastewater nitrogen 

concentration was not higher than 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Myriophyllum aquaticum 

with 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of nitrogen concentration grew best in the first 3 weeks; 

the removal rates of total and ammonia nitrogen were nearly 100% after one week, while 

the nitrate nitrogen concentrations were very low and varied little; the nitrogen 

contents of Myriophyllum aquaticum had no significant change, the upper part nitrogen 

content was higher than the underneath, Myriophyllum aquaticum could also remove nitrogen 

from the sediment. When wastewater nitrogen concentrations were 100-400 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Myriophyllum aquaticum with 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of 

nitrogen concentration grew best from 4th to 5th week; the removal rates of total 

nitrogen were 76.5%, 71.5% and 48.1% in the three treatments, and the removal rates of 

ammonia nitrogen were 99.6%, 99.3% and 60.2% respectively, while the removal rates of 

nitrate nitrogen were all about 50% and there was no significant difference among 

treatments; the nitrogen contents of Myriophyllum aquaticum increased with nitrogen 

levels, but the difference between upper part and underneath was not remarkable, showing 

uniform distribution; nitrogen accumulations by Myriophyllum aquaticum and sediment 

accounted for 27.9%-48.4% and 12.2%-24.4% of total nitrogen loss in wastewater. 

Therefore, the nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum aquaticum should be inhibited by 

higher wastewater nitrogen level, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was significantly 

higher than nitrate, the mechanism of Myriophyllum aquaticum nitrogen accumulation and 

distribution should also be affected by wastewater nitrogen level, and further research 

is needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Three Gorge Dam Reservoir (TGDR) is a new forming ecosystem and its sediments 

dynamics remains unknown. Investigation on the nitrification and denitrification dynamics 

of sediments of TGDR during water collection and release events-anti-seasonal actions-is 

critical for nitrogen management in TGDR. In this study, we sampled sediments in three 

locations (upstream, center, and downstream along water flow) of South River, located in 

a typical small tributary, Nanhe, in TGDR during 2015 water collection and release events 

to characterize its physiochemical property and determine its nitrification and 

denitrification rates using acetylene inhabitation method. The results showed that the 

concentrations of physiochemical parameters of sediments (total carbon, total nitrogen, 

nitrate, and ammonia) were significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) in water collection event 

than those in water release event, suggesting there were external materials (e.g., soil) 

entering into TGDR. Furthermore, the nitrification rate of sediments in water collection 

event [194.06 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] was significantly 

higher than that in water release event [16.52 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)

<sup>-1</sup>]. Sediments nitrification rate was positively correlated to the 

physiochemical parameters. In contract, the denitrification rate of sediments was higher 

in water release event [647.20 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] than 

that in water collection event [24.04 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>). Accordingly, the denitrification rate of sediments was negatively correlated to 

the physiochemical parameters. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To investigate the distribution characteristics and the human health risks of 

heavy metals in surface water samples, 30 samples were collected around electroplating 

factories of Machong, Shatian, Humen, Changan and Dalingshan towns in Dongguan city, 8 

heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) contents were measured and analyzed by 

using multivariate statistical analysis method and human health risk assessment model. 

The results showed that the maximum concentrations of Cr, Pb and the average 

concentration of Hg exceeded Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838-

2002, Grade III), the concentrations of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Zn and Pb during rainy season 

were all higher than that those during dry season. Multivariate statistical analysis 

indicated that Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn mainly originated from the contaminated 

electroplating factories, Pb and Hg were mainly affected by the traffic sources, and As 

was significantly correlated with natural sources. Health risk assessment result of 

surface water indicated that heavy metal pollution would lead to high health risks 

especially for children, and the health risks of heavy metals through drinking pathway 

were 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the values caused by dermal contact pathway. 

Moreover, carcinogenic risks caused by Cr and As were higher than the maximum allowance 

levels (5&times;10<sup>-5</sup>a<sup>-1</sup>), and non-carcinogenic risks of the heavy 

metals (10<sup>-10</sup>-10<sup>-7</sup>a<sup>-1</sup>) decreased in the order of 

Pb&gt;Ni&gt;Cu&gt;Hg&gt;Zn, which were 4-5 orders of magnitude lower than the maximum 

allowance levels. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The feasibility of a new sludge treatment technology of earthworm constructed 

wetlands was tested by adding earthworm into the traditional sludge dying reed beds. The 

dewatering and stabilization effects of the upper layer sludge were tested under 

different sludge loading rates of 48, 65, 80 kg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>, different earthworm stocking densities of 0, 0.43, 0.54, 0.65 kg&middot;m<sup>-

2</sup>and different sludge loading frequencies. The results indicated that it was 

feasible to provide a shelter for earthworm during the loading period by setting a damper 

with a buried depth of 10 mm. The addition of earthworm could effectively improve the 

dewatering and stabilization effects of earthworm constructed wetlands, by lowering the 

DHA and decreasing the moisture content and VS of sludge by 15% and 10% respectively. The 

stabilization effects of earthworm constructed wetlands reached the best under the 

stocking density of 0.65 kg&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>. With the increase of sludge loading 

rate and decrease of loading frequency, the running efficiency of earthworm constructed 

wetlands would be worse. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

technology, has good prospects for applications. However, ANAMMOX bacteria grow slowly 

and are hardly accumulated in bioreactors. In this study, a UASB reactor inoculated with 

sludge from landfill leachate treatment plant was used for the start-up of ANAMMOX 

process. Besides, exogenous quorum sensing signals (DSF and AHL) were added to improve 

the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge. The results showed that the UASB successfully started the 

ANAMMOX process within 150 days of operation. The total nitrogen removal rate reached 80% 

and the proportion of ANAMMOX bacteria rose to 20%. There was a low concentration of AHLs 

signal molecules in the ANAMMOX sludge. If the &beta;-position substituent group of AHL 

added was a carbonyl group (including 3-oxo-C<inf>6</inf>-HSL, 3-oxo-C<inf>8</inf>-HSL, 

3-oxo-C<inf>10</inf>-HSL and 3-oxo-C<inf>12</inf>-HSL), the adhesion growth ability of 

the ANAMMOX sludge could be improved. In the case of dosing with AHL molecules without 

&beta;-position substituent groups, only C<inf>6</inf>-HSL and C<inf>12</inf>-HSL could 

promote the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge. The additions of C<inf>8</inf>-HSL, 

C<inf>10</inf>-HSL and DSF all had negative effects on the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge.

Abstract:In order to study the quick start-up process of anaerobic ammonium oxidation 

(ANAMMOX), two types of reactors with different hydraclic flow state inoculated with 

aerobic nitrifying sludge were investigated, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) and anaerobic 

baffled reactor (ABR), respectively. The result showed that both reactors successfully 

started up ANAMMOX process. The start-up period of the MBR (90 d) was 20% shorter than 

the ABR (111 d). During the stable operation, the average nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N+NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) removal capacity of 0.098 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the MBR was also higher than that of 0.089 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the ABR. In addition, the differences 

of sludge morphology were obvious in the two reactors; flocculent sludge was developed in 

the MBR while ANAMMOX granular sludge was mainly formed in the first compartment of the 

ABR. Moreover, the quantitative relationship analysis between NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N showed that the 

MBR system contained more kinds of bacteria with nitrogen removal function, compared to 

the ABR, and it was therefore more conducive to the removal of nitrogen. MBR exhibited a 

more excellent performance for ANAMMOX start-up. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics and source 

apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols in PM<inf>10</inf>for the daytime and nighttime 

during spring and summer over Lanzhou. The samples were collected from 1 April 2015 to 30 

August 2015, daytime samples were collected during 08:00 to 20:00 and nighttime samples 

during 20:00 to 08:00 on the next day, and organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) 

concentrations were measured. The results showed that PM<inf>10</inf>, OC and EC 

concentrations were (136.0&plusmn;84.3), (12.4&plusmn;3.2), (2.3&plusmn;0.7) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during the daytime, and (196.0&plusmn;109.2), 

(16.0&plusmn;5.3), (5.0&plusmn;2.1) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during the nighttime. The 

mass concentrations of PM<inf>10</inf>, OC and EC in the nighttime were higher than those 

during the daytime. The ratios of secondary organic carbon to total organic carbon were 

higher in the daytime than nighttime, suggesting that the secondary organic carbon 

pollution was more serious in the daytime. In sand-dust weather, the concentrations of 

PM<inf>10</inf>and OC were higher than those in non-dust weather, while the EC 

concentration was close to that in non-dust weather. Secondary organic carbon and total 

carbon aerosols were higher in sand-dust weather, but the contribution to the 

PM<inf>10</inf>was relatively low. In addition, principal component analysis on the eight 

carbon fractions of non-dust weather indicated that coal combustion, vehicle exhaust and 

biomass burning were the major sources for carbonaceous aerosol during the daytime, while 

coal combustion, dust, diesel exhaust and biomass burning played important roles in the 

nighttime. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Forms distribution and ecotoxicity of sulfonamides in root-soil interface of 

maize were studied by chemical analysis and luminescent bacteria toxicity assay. The 

results indicated that the water soluble residues were the main form in rhizosperic 

soils, and the organic solvent extractable residues were the main form in far-rhizosperic 

soils. The three forms of sulfonamides showed relatively lower toxicity to luminescent 

bacteria with the relative inhibition rates less than 30%. The toxicity of water soluble 

residues was lower than that of the organic solvent extractable residues, and the bound 

residues showed the lowest toxicity to luminescent bacteria. The contents and relative 

inhibition rates of water soluble residues in rhizosperic soils were higher than those in 

far-rhizosperic soils, while the contents and relative inhibition rates of organic 

solvent extractable and bound residues in rhizosperic soils were lower than those in 

far-rhizosperic soils. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Coastal organic pollution has become a serious problem, thus it is imperative to 

assess the potential effects on the marine environment. The microbes are generally the 

first responders to environmental perturbation, which may serve as biological indicators 

for pollution levels. In this study, we collected surface seawater samples from Sanmen 

Bay and adjacent Yushan Reserve. Using an Illumina sequencing based analysis of bacterial 

16S rRNA gene, we explored the effect of organic pollution on the bacterioplankton 

community compositions (BCCs). The results showed that the organic pollution (A) was 

4.57&plusmn;2.41 at Sanmen Bay, which was significantly higher (P&lt;0.001) than that in 

Yushan Reserve (0.43&plusmn;0.74). The bacterial diversity and community compositions 

differed significantly between the two locations. Specifically, the relative abundance of 

Actinobacteria, &alpha;-Proteobacteria, &beta;-Proteobacteria, SAR406 in Sanmen Bay was 

significantly higher than that in Yushan Reserve, while Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, 

Planctomycetes exhibited an opposite change pattern. A multivariate regression tree 

analysis showed that the bacterial diversity was primarily affected by water pH, organic 

pollution and chlorophyll a levels, which respectively explained 27.7%, 15.6% and 6.7% 

variance in bacterial diversity. A redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that the 

bacterioplankton community was significantly controlled by pH, salinity and organic 

pollution, which cumulatively explained 14.8% of the variation in BCCs. In addition, the 

geographic distance was significantly (P&lt;0.001) correlated with BCCs, accounting for 

4.42% variance, which suggested that the spatial distribution of bacterioplankton 

community was non-random. Moreover, this study screened 23 sensitive bacterial families, 

whose relative abundances were significantly associated the organic pollution. For a 

given bacterial family, the change pattern of relative abundance was consistent with its 

known function, thus holding the potential for indicating organic pollution levels. To 

conclude, this study showed that the increasing coastal organic pollution had altered 

BCCs, and enriched the relative abundances of potential pathogens. Furthermore, the 

sensitive bio-indicators were screened for evaluating the increasing organic pollution 

level. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A large number of researches showed that the N<inf>2</inf>O negative emissions 

from flooding paddy fields, peatlands and other wetlands ecosystem were frequent and 

considerable, which is of great significance on alleviating the greenhouse gas effect. 

However, there are few reports about the transformation and microbial mechanism of 

N<inf>2</inf>O between atmosphere and paddy soil. The slurry of surface paddy soil (0-5 

cm) was incubated in laboratory conditions, and the effect of enhanced N<inf>2</inf>O 

concentrations in headspace on the N<inf>2</inf>O consumption capacity of submerged paddy 

soil and the response of nosZ gene abundance were explored. The results showed that, 

paddy soil under flooding and anaerobic conditions harbored very strong potential of 

N<inf>2</inf>O reduction along with a relatively high nosZ gene abundance 

(10<sup>8</sup>copies&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dry soil at DNA level). Regression analysis 

presented the N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations in headspace were positively correlated 

(r<sup>2</sup>=1, P&lt;0.001) to the N<inf>2</inf>O consumption rates of paddy soil 

slurry, indicating the high N<inf>2</inf>O concentration could stimulate the 

N<inf>2</inf>O consumption power, to a very high rate of 4 567.99 &mu;g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences 

in the high abundance of nosZ gene among N<inf>2</inf>O treatments, demonstrating the 

nosZ gene abundance at DNA level might not be the main controller of N<inf>2</inf>O 

consumption ability in submerged paddy soil and further study on the key microbial factor 

is needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:According to the data collected from the five monitoring sites in front of the 

dam in Thousand-island Lake in September 2015, the vertical distribution characteristics 

of dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity and 

phytoplankton were analyzed. The influencing factors of special stratification of DO and 

vertical distribution of phytoplankton were also discussed. The results showed that: (1) 

The vertical distribution of DO presented &ldquo;the surface is higher than the 

underlying&rdquo; mode. DO ranged from 1.95 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 8.25 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the average concentration was 5.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

Low-oxygen zones appeared between 12 m and 20 m and the minimum concentration was 1.95 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>at 17 m. The concentration of DO maintained at a high level 

between 0 m and 12 m and the vertical variance was small. Sudden drop of DO occurred 

between 12 m and 20 m and there was an anoxic zone (&lt;4.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). 

The concentration of DO returned to normal level between 20 m and 38 m. Then it reduced 

under 38m as the water depth increased. The vertical distribution of pH showed the same 

trend with that of DO and their sudden change regions appeared in the same zone. (2) 

Vertical phytoplankton biomass displayed significant difference. The phytoplankton 

biomass of S1, S2 and S3 presented: mid-layer&gt;surface&gt;bottom. But S4, S5 presented: 

bottom&gt;surface&gt;mid-layer. In addition, the depth between 20 m and 30 m was the best 

for the growth of phytoplankton. (3) The correlation analysis showed that DO and water 

temperature in the thermocline were significantly correlative. The range and degree of 

low-oxygen zones in Thousand-island Lake was determined by physical processes like 

thermal stratification of water and direct or indirect effects of the plankton. 

Phytoplankton and DO, pH showed significant negative correlation. The phytoplankton was 

mainly influenced by turbulent mixing and DO stratification in the surface layer while it 

was mainly influenced by light intensity at the bottom. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Hanfeng Pre-reservoir is very rare in the world which is specially designed to 

reduce the impact of Fluctuating Zone, and it is formed in Hanfeng Lake of Three Gorges 

reservoir. The Hanfeng Pre-reservoir has many special hydrological characteristics and 

ecological environment features based on its unique &ldquo;pre-reservoir&rdquo; control 

mode, the wide seasonal wetland of Fluctuating Zone, the huge life pollution and 

agricultural pollution, and the pressure of huge city and excessive population. HanFeng 

Lake has a variety of morphological features such as lakes, rivers, and other backwater 

bay, for the effect of water level regulation in Three Gorges, since the successful 

commissioning of the Hanfeng Lake pre-dam system in 2015. The change of Hanfeng Lake 

hydrology and water quality during the commissioning was divided into four periods by 

combining Hydrological and Morphological Variation characteristics with Water quality 

indicators time clustering analysis: May to August as T1 (river period); January, March 

and November to December as T2 (lake period); February, April and September as T3 (water 

level fluctuation period); October as T4 (algal blooms period) in 2015. Principal 

component analysis and stepwise regression analysis showed that Eutrophication of Hanfeng 

Lake was dominated by different dominant components at different times and the water 

quality index factor which has a significant effect on the Chl-a was also different. 

Cumulative contribution rates of principal components were 82.93%, 77.61%, 78.32%, 88.40% 

for each period, respectively. The main water quality indicators of T1 (river period) 

were DP, TP, SD, pH and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>2</inf>, so 

Chl-a was mainly affected by water nitrogen content. The main water quality indicators of 

T2 (lake period) were TN, DN, DP, TP, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and the significant 

influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>1</inf>, so Chl-a was mainly affected by water 

eutrophication including nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient status. The main water quality 

indicators of T3 (water level fluctuation period) were SD, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, 

DN, T and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was PC<inf>3</inf>. so Chl-a was 

mainly affected by water level fluctuation. The main water quality indicators of T4 

(algal blooms period) were TN, DN, DO, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, pH, permanganate 

index, H, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and the significant influencing index of Chl-a was 

PC<inf>3</inf>. so Chl-a was mainly affected by flow rate and hydrodynamic conditions. As 

mentioned in the review, the frequent and significant water level changes during the 

commissioning of Hanfeng Lake were the important factors influencing the change of 

hydrological and water quality characteristics. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental 

contaminants that originate mainly from anthropogenic sources. PAHs have elicited much 

concern because they exhibit strong toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties. 

Agricultural soil is at risk of PAH contamination mainly caused by atmospheric 

depositions, wastewater irrigation, or organic substances and biowaste applied as 

fertilizers. The surface agricultural soils were collected from Shandong in July 2015, 

and measured for 16 US EPA priority PAHs using high performance liquid chromatography 

with UV and fluorescence detector. The content and composition of PAHs were analyzed. The 

differences of PAHs between soils from the field for growing crops and from vegetable 

greenhouses, and between soils from point sources and from non-point sources were 

compared. The sources of PAHs were determined with methods of ratio between PAHs and 

positive matrix factorization (PMF), and the risks of PAHs were assessed. The results 

showed that the total content of 16 PAHs (&sum;16PAHs) ranged from 111.5 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 2 744.1 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, with the mean of 556.3 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The content of 3-ring PAHs was relatively high, with the mean 

of 201.5 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>; while the contents of 2-ring and 6-ring PAHs were 

relatively low, with the mean of 39.3 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 43.4 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. According to the contamination classification in Poland, 71% of 

the samples in Shangdong were weakly contaminated. Compared with other areas in China, 

the content of PAHs in the agricultural soils in Shandong was in the middle range. 

Acenaphthene, fluorine, and fluoranthene were the major PAH compounds, accounting for 

more than 10% of the total PAHs; while the contribution of indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene was 

low. The content of &sum;16PAHs and contribution of 7 carcinogenic PAHs were 

significantly higher in soils polluted by point sources than those in soils from non-

point sources. Moreover, the contribution of PAHs with 2-3 rings was significantly higher 

in soils from non-point sources, while the contribution of PAHs with 4-6 rings was 

significantly higher in soils polluted by point sources. There was no significant 

difference in soils from vegetable greenhouses and from adjacent field soils, and the 

contribution of PAHs with 3-4 rings was high. The PAH isomer pair ratios of Ant/(Ant

+Phe), Flu/(Flu+Pyr), BaA/(BaA+Chr), and InP/(InP+BP) were utilized as molecular indices 

to elucidate the possible PAH sources, and the results suggested that the PAHs in the 

soils were mainly from combustion. To quantitatively assess the contribution of various 

sources to PAH contamination, PMF was used to analyze the sources. The sources of PAHs 

were combustion of coal biomass, oil combustion from traffic, coking, and petroleum 

pollution, with contribution of 42.7%, 19.3%, 22.8% and 15.2%, respectively. Toxic 

equivalency factors were used to evaluate PAH contamination in the soils, and the 

carcinogenicity of other PAHs relative to BaP was quantified to estimate the BaP-

equivalent concentration (TEQ<inf>BaP</inf>). The TEQ<inf>BaP</inf>of 16 PAHs 

(&sum;16TEQ<inf>Bap</inf>) in soils from non-point sources and vegetable greenhouses was 

31.69 and 44.47 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, which were below the safe value 

in Canadian soil quality guidelines. However, the &sum;16TEQ<inf>Bap</inf>in some field 

soils from point sources exceeded the safe value, indicating that there were potential 

risks in the soils from point sources in Shandong. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Greenhouse gas emission from aquatic ecosystem will affect climate change on the 

regional and global scale. So large river interception project which affects the carbon 

cycle model and greenhouse gas emission from aquatic ecosystem has provoked more and more 

attentions in recent years. In order to understand and evaluate the effects of typical 

hydropower project construction on the aquatic ecosystem and carbon cycle, the Geheyan 

Reservoir, a typical river interception project, was selected as a typical case in this 

paper for measuring carbon dioxide fluxes from interface between water and atmosphere 

from March, 2015 to February, 2016. The integration of the online gas analyzer and 

floating box was used to obtain carbon dioxide fluxes from interface between water and 

atmosphere. Data was obtained over the before dam, upstream, tributary, drawdown area and 

bay area respectively for understanding the spatial Heterogeneity of carbon dioxide 

fluxes. Data analysis showed that yearly mean fluxes of carbon dioxide from the Geheyan 

Reservoir was (55.6918&plusmn;66.3329) mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>during measurement, which indicated that the temporal distribution was higher in 

winter and lower in other seasons and the spatial variation was higher in typical bay and 

lower before dam as well as drawdown zone over the reservoir. Moreover, the seasonal 

variation of carbon dioxide fluxes from the interface between water and atmosphere was 

very stable at Yuxiakou measurement points as a typical background area of the reservoir, 

which was unexpectedly higher than those before dam and drawdown zone in the most months 

during measurement. The results from data analysis also indicated that the spatial and 

temporal variation of carbon dioxide fluxes from the Geheyan Reservoir was affected by 

water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, pH, water temperature and 

conductivity and carbon in water, but the relationship between carbon dioxide fluxes and 

other parameter was very different within each season and impound period. So the results 

above will provide more supports for understanding the import pathway and transfer of 

aquatic carbon cycle caused by large river interception project in China. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In recent years, more and more public attention has been paid to the problem of 

air pollution during the heating period in North China. This article took a heavy 

pollution process of Shijiazhuang district from Nov. 24th to Dec. 4th in 2015 as an 

example, and analyzed comprehensively the source apportionment in different periods, size 

distribution of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>from each source in different periods, the 

characteristics of mass spectra of the main emission sources and the meteorological 

conditions with the method of real-time online source analysis. It turned out: the main 

sources of pollutants were coal combustions, industrial discharges, vehicle exhausts and 

secondary inorganic reactions. With the help of meteorological condition of low pressure 

and low wind speed, the PM<inf>2.5</inf>mainly produced by coal combustions and 

industrial discharges accumulated heavily and went through the second stage conversion, 

leading to this heavy air pollution. The main particulate matters from coal combustions 

were the mixed carbons; the main particulate matters from industrial discharges were 

metals; the main particulate matters from vehicle exhausts were elemental carbon and 

manganese metal; the main particulate matters from pure secondary inorganic sources were 

secondary inorganic ions; the main particulate matters from dust pollution were aluminum, 

calcium, iron and silicate minerals; the main particulate matters from biomass fuel 

combustions were levoglucosan; the feature signal from restaurant discharges was organic 

acid. Different from the distribution before and after the heavy pollution period, the 

particulate matters from the 8 pollution sources presented even distribution during the 

heavy pollution period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Speciation characteristics of fifteen heavy metals in seventeen surface 

sediments from Jiulong River was analyzed using the modified BCR protocol and dilute 

HNO<inf>3</inf>method, respectively. The results of the modified BCR protocol showed that 

most of the elements (Fe, Ni, V, Tl, Ba, Sb, Ga, Cr and Sr) existed mainly in residual 

fractions, and extractable fraction was dominant for Mn (83.8%), followed by Cd, Pb, Zn, 

Co and Cu (80.0%, 75.5%, 74.3%, 70.8% and 57.7%). The results of dilute 

HNO<inf>3</inf>method showed that the proportions of the dilute HNO<inf>3</inf>-

extractable fractions of Pb, Mn, Cd, Co, Zn and Cu were higher (70.4%, 65.4%, 58.7%, 

48.4%, 44.5% and 45.5%). The assessment results of RSP (ratio of secondary phase to 

primary phase) indicated that Pb, Mn, Cd, Co, Zn and Cu in surface sediments of Jiulong 

River had higher ecological risks. Both extraction methods had merits and demerits 

respectively. In general, the dilute HNO<inf>3</inf>method is enough to analyze the 

bioavailability and ecological risk of heavy metals in sediments. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Urban traffic is an important source of greenhouse gases such as CH<inf>4</inf>. 

The observations on CH<inf>4</inf>are the basis for quantitative analysis of urban carbon 

emissions. Taken into consideration the weekly and daily changing characteristics of 

urban traffic, we conducted experiments to analyze the features of traffic 

CH<inf>4</inf>emission and its influential factors. The experiments were conducted on 3 

main roads in Nanjing on Oct. 17, 18, 20, 23, 2014 with 5 periods of observation per day, 

and in Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel in the morning and at night of Sep.11 2014. The 

results showed that: (1)The average concentration of CH<inf>4</inf>on the urban main road 

of Nanjing city was greater than that of the background atmosphere. Affected by traffic 

conditions, the spatial difference of &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was significant 

on three typical main roads. &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration's diurnal variation 

showed inverted &ldquo;W&rdquo; type, and its peak appeared in the morning and evening 

rush hours. (2) Due to the &ldquo;piston wind&rdquo; in the tunnel, the 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration in Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel gradually increased from the 

inlet to the outlet and the difference of concentration between the inlet and the outlet 

was 0.21&times;10<sup>-6</sup>-0.38&times;10<sup>-6</sup>. (3)There was a good linear 

correlation between CH<inf>4</inf>concentration and CO<inf>2</inf>concentration. The 

atmospheric &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>value of urban main road in 

Nanjing was 0.009 1 and the atmospheric 

&Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>value of Nanjing Yangtze River Tunnel 

was 0.000 47-0.001 4. (4)Traffic volume and the proportion of natural gas vehicles were 

the main factors influencing atmospheric &Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>concentration and 

&Delta;CH<inf>4</inf>&#8758;&Delta;CO<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The concentration level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) in topsoil 

from Shenfu New City in urbanization was studied. 54 topsoil samples were collected from 

Shenfu New City and 4 different land uses (urban land, rural land, forest land, 

cultivated land) were included. The concentration of PAHs in different land uses was 

analyzed, the sources of soil PAHs were analyzed by using diagnostic ratios and principal 

component analysis, and the ecological risks were calculated using toxic equivalency 

concentrations of BaP and the incremental lifetime cancer risk(ILCR)model. Results 

indicated that the concentrations of &sum;PAHs in urban land, cultivated land, rural land 

and forest land were in the range of 184-18 276, 230-14 102, 151-3 205, 303-2 980 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Four land uses had similar sources, the main 

sources were coal combustion and traffic emission. According to the calculation of 

ecological risks, there were potential health risks for residents in Shenfu New City, 

especially urban land, meanwhile, residents were easily exposed to soil PAHs through 

dermal contact. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:High free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) is regarded as a main factor that inhibits 

biogas production in high solid anaerobic digestion systems with dewatered sludge. Two 

mesophilic semi-continuous anaerobic digesters fed with dewatered sludge (input total 

solids=15%) were operated and their performance under different FAN concentrations by two 

regulation methods including pH reduction and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) promotion were 

investigated. Results showed that when FAN was elevated from (400&plusmn;174) 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to (526&plusmn;25) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with the increase of 

TAN, the daily biogas yield declined from (11.9&plusmn;0.3) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>to 

(10.3&plusmn;0.2) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, volatile solids (VS) reduction rate 

decreased by 33.7%. When FAN dropped from (330&plusmn;99) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

(47&plusmn;13) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>due to pH reduction, daily biogas yield declined 

from (14.4&plusmn;1.1) L&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>to (10.8&plusmn;0.3) L&middot;d<sup>-

1</sup>and VS reduction rate decreased by 26.9%. The system performance was not enhanced 

with the reduction of FAN. With the stop of pH regulation, FAN gradually raised again to 

300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and digester performance recovered to the same as the 

situation before regulation. The result suggested that inhibition occurred during pH 

reduction. By 16S rRNA pyrosequencing analysis on bacterial and archaeal diversity and 

quantitative PCR analysis aiming at methanogens, it was found that bacterial community 

structure both changed obviously with obvious performance decline in the two digesters. 

Excessive FAN (&gt;500 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) could change the main bacteria species 

which degrade protein from Tepidimicrobium and Proteiniborus to Anaerobranca. On the 

other hand, some carbohydrate and protein degrading bacteria were also inhibited by pH 

reduction for FAN control, leading to the decline of hydrolysis rates of organic matters. 

As a result, the shortage of substrate supply for the methanogens weakened the biogas 

production of the digestion system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A bacterium strain LW26 which could utilize chlorobenzene (CB) as sole carbon 

and energy source was isolated from a biotrickling filter reactor treating CB-

contaminated off-gas. Based on its morphological and physiological characteristics, as 

well as the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence and Biolog test, the strain LW26 was 

identified as Delftia tsuruhatensis. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that the 

strain Delftia tsuruhatensis was applied for CB purification. In this study, the effects 

of temperature, pH, initial CB concentration and Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration on the 

biodegradation were investigated. The results showed that the optimal temperature and pH 

for CB biodegradation were 25&#8451; and 7.0, respectively; the maximum CB tolerated 

concentration for LW26 was as high as 500 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; when the 

concentration of Cl<sup>-</sup>was above 0.14 mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the CB 

degradation was significantly restrained. The degrading process of the strain LW26 

followed the Haldane kinetic model and the maximum specific growth rate and the maximum 

specific degradation rate were 0.42 h<sup>-1</sup>and 2.53 h<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively.GC-MS analysis of the metabolites revealed that CB was firstly converted to 

o-chlorophenol by strain LW26. Combined with the activity of catechol dioxygenase, it can 

be speculated that CB was finally mineralized to CO<inf>2</inf>, or converted to cell 

biomass after processes of ortho cleavage, dechlorination and oxidation. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Stable carbon isotope of dissolved inorganic carbon 

(&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>), which is mainly constituted by 

HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in karst water, is widely used to trace the different sources 

and influential factors of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). In order to understand the 

distribution of DIC and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>in subtropical karst area, 

this paper researched the water chemistry and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>in a 

karst surface stream in detail, which is fed by Guancun subterranean stream in Liuzhou 

City, Guangxi Province, in the southwest of China. The results showed that the contents 

of DIC in subterranean stream outlet (G1 site) ranged from 4.60 to 4.90 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 4.73 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in dry 

season, and from 2.80 to 4.70 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 4.23 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in rainy season. The contents of DIC in 1.35 km downstream site 

(G2 site) ranged from 4.30 to 4.90 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 4.56 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in dry season, and from 3.00 to 4.70 mmol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>with an average of 4.20 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in rainy season. The 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>of subterranean stream outlet (G1 site) varied from -

12.8&permil; to -11.53&permil; with an average of -12.22&permil; in dry season, and from 

-13.12&permil; to -11.01&permil; with an average of -12.28&permil; in rainy season. The 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>of stream downstream site (G2 site) ranged from -

11.71&permil; to -9.55&permil; with an average of -10.73&permil; in dry season, and 

ranged from -12.18&permil; to -9.85&permil; with an average of -11.10&permil; in rainy 

season. The contents of DIC of G1 site were higher than those of G2 site. The DIC 

contents in dry season in both G1 and G2 site were higher than those in rainy season. The 

values of &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>of G1 and G2 site in dry season were more 

positive than those in rainy season. The &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>value of G1 

site was more negative than that of G2 site. The main sources of DIC in underground river 

and surface stream were soil CO<inf>2</inf>and carbonate dissolution. However, the 

differences of DIC and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>between G1 and G2 site showed 

that CO<inf>2</inf>degassing and photosynthesis of aquatic plants had significant 

influence on water DIC and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>value. This study is 

helpful to understand the dynamic change and distribution of DIC and 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>in karst surface stream. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:As one of the main atmospheric pollutants over surface layer, researches on the 

increasing surface ozone concentration and its impact on main crops have become the focus 

of every government and the public. In this paper, based on the observations in Nanjing 

using the main local cultivars in China's major winter wheat producing areas, it was 

expected to obtain the data including ozone concentration, meteorological data and 

stomatal conductance by continuous observation. Stomatal conductance model was used and 

parameterized, combined with flux model, we analyzed the characteristics of stomatal flux 

in winter wheat under ozone pollution. At the same time, the stomatal conductance and 

stomatal ozone absorption flux of winter wheat were simulated in Jiangsu Province. The 

main results were as follows: Elevated ozone concentration could reduce stomatal 

conductance of winter wheat leaf and stomatal conductance decreased with the increase of 

ozone concentration. According to the observational data through the experiment, based on 

the boundary line technology, stomatal conductance model was parameterized to simulate 

stomatal conductance of wheat leaves from environmental factors. Approximately 90%, 77% 

and 83% variation of measured stomatal conductance could be explained by the stomatal 

conductance model. In the experiment, the total ozone absorption flux in ozone 

concentration of CK(53.67 nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), 100nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

150nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>was 6.42 mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 12.27 

mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 13.90 mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>respectively. The ozone 

concentration gradually increased from early period to late period during the period of 

winter wheat growth in Jiangsu area. The average stomatal conductance followed the order 

of the middle stage&gt;the later stage&gt;the early stage. Winter wheat ozone cumulative 

absorption flux was the highest during the middle stage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Organics, sulfide and nitrogen compounds in industrial wastewater are 

significant challenges for wastewater treatment. These pollutants could be removed 

simultaneously from wastewater treatment system using biological technologies. In this 

study, a heterotrophic denitrifying sulfur bacterial strain HDD1 was isolated from 

wastewater treatment bioreactor. Strain HDD1 was identified as Thauera sp. based on the 

16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and physiological characteristics. Acetate and 

sulfide could be utilized as electron donors and nitrate as electron acceptor for 

respiration in Thauera sp. HDD1. The acetate (300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), sulfide (200 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and nitrate (487 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) were completely 

metabolized and removed within 15 hours. The main product of sulfide oxidation was 

elemental sulfur as identified by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive 

spectrometer. These results suggest that the newly isolated Thauera sp. HDD1 could be 

used for simultaneous industrial wastewater treatment and elemental sulfur resource 

recovery. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Vegetable is an indispensible component of human daily diet, and contamination 

of vegetables by heavy metals directly threatens human health. In this study, 116 

vegetable samples were collected from 12 administrative districts of Guangzhou City for 

analysis of six heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr. A combination of single factor 

evaluation and Nemero Index analysis was employed to determine specific heavy metals 

exceeding allowable standards and analyze the characteristics of pollution. Risk of 

exposure was utilized to assess human health risks originating from eating locally 

planted vegetables contaminated by heavy metals. The results showed that contents of Cu, 

Zn in the 8 sorts of vegetables were below the standards of maximum allowable content and 

the contents of heavy mental Cr of up to 91.67% vegetable samples were higher than their 

standard. Lettuce sativa var. angustana Irish, Luffa acutangula L., Lycopersicon 

esculentum Mill. and Daucus carota L. were the 4 species of Pb exceeding vegetables, with 

the exceed ratio reaching up to 35.71% and Daucus carota L. exceeded the target value 

most seriously. Only the content of Cd in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. was over-

standard,with the rate of 31.25%. And the highest rate of over-standard of the content of 

Ni in 3 species of vegetables, which included Lactuca sativa L., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk 

and Brassica parachinensis, reached 8.33%. For the contamination level of the eight kinds 

of vegetable, Lactuca sativa L., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk, Brassica parachinensis, Raphanus 

sativus L. and Daucus carota L. were put into the class of alarming, while Lettuce sativa 

var. angustana Irish, Luffa acutangula L. and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. were 

classified as secure. Heavy metals' comprehensive pollution degree of 4 species of 

vegetables presented a trend of leafy vegetables&gt;rootstalk vegetables&gt;stem 

vegetables&gt;solanaceous fruits. Health risk assessment showed that Guangzhou citizens 

eat more frequently Ipomoea aquatica Forsk and Lactuca sativa L. and Brassica 

parachinensis were prone to higher accumulation of heavy metals, and the dietary intake 

of heavy metal Cr might cause harm to human health and intake of Cd would bring potential 

health risk to the human body. Risk of exposure to heavy metal through oral ingestion of 

vegetables was proved to be higher for children than adults. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:In this paper, the generalized additive model (GAM) was introduced to analyze 

the interactive effects of the influencing factors on the change of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration during 2013-2015 in Nanjing city. The results showed as 

follows: PM<inf>2.5</inf>and its influencing factors appeared to follow normal 

distribution. There were strong correlations among the influencing factors, especially 

among the temperature(TEM), pressure(PRS) and water vapor pressure(VAP). For the single 

influencing factor GAM models of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, all influencing factors 

passed the significance test. Moreover, the equation fitting degrees of SO<inf>2</inf>, 

CO, and NO<inf>2</inf>were much higher. In the multiple influencing factors GAM models of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, the contribution of the SO<inf>2</inf>, CO, 

NO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, precipitation (PRE), wind and relative humidity(RHU) to 

the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration was 73.9% with significant impacts on the 

change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. Based on the diagnostic analysis of the effect 

of multi factors on the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, there were linear 

relationship between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>and wind, and 

non-linear relationship between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and CO, O<inf>3</inf>, PRE and RHU. The 

GAM models, which considered the interaction of SO<inf>2</inf>respectively with CO, PRE 

and RHU, the interaction of CO respectively with NO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, PRE, Wind 

and RHU, and the interaction of NO<inf>2</inf>respectively with Wind, PRE and RHU, all 

passed the significance test(P&lt;0.01 or P&lt;0.05). The interaction of SO<inf>2</inf>, 

CO and NO<inf>2</inf>respectively with other factors such as meteorological factors had 

the most important influence on the change of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. At last, 

through the visualized three-dimensional map of the GAM models considering the 

interaction of the influencing factors on the PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, the 

interactive effects of the influencing factors on PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration were 

quantitatively modeled. Our results demonstrated that GAM could be used to quantitatively 

analyze the interactive effect of the influencing factors on the change of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration. Therefore, the research method is innovative and important 

for PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution and control. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The biodegradation characteristics of the azo disperse dye neocron black (NB) 

were investigated under aerobic, anaerobic and anaerobic/aerobic conditions separately 

with the activated sludge system, and the biological degradation process of the dye was 

analyzed by spectrophotometry and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The 

results showed that the degradation efficiency of NB dye was the highest under fully 

aerobic conditions, followed by the anaerobic/aerobic conditions, and fully anaerobic 

condition was the lowest. With the increase of the concentration of NB dye, the dye and 

the intermediate metabolite greatly decreased the microbial degradation efficiency of NB 

dye. The addition of carbon source could not only promote the biodegradation of NB dye, 

but also change the kinetic characteristics of the biodegradation process. The 

spectrophotometry and GC-MS determination results showed that the chromophore was 

completely degraded after biodegradation of NB dye. The intermediates metabolites of NB 

dye included 2,4-Dinitroaniline, 2-cyano-4-nitro aniline, p-Nitroaniline etc. &copy;

Abstract:Foulants responsible for hydraulic irreversible fouling in Dongjiang River water 

were identified by ultrafiltration process and their removal by powdered activated carbon 

(PAC) adsorption treatment was investigated using fluorescent excitation emission matrix 

and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). A correlation analysis was then carried out 

for samples between the maximum fluorescence intensities (F<inf>max</inf>) of three 

PARAFAC components after PAC adsorption and the surface properties of corresponding PAC 

samples. The results showed that two humic-like (C1 and C3) and one tryptophan-like 

fluorescent components were obtained through PARAFAC analysis, in which tryptophan-like 

component C2 was found to be the main substance in hydraulic irreversible foulants 

extracted from fouled membrane. Furthermore, the results of correlation analysis 

suggested that microspore area of PAC correlated with PAC adsorption of tryptophan-like 

fluorescent components, which played an important role in irreversible fouling. Both BET 

and mesopore+macropore area of PAC correlated with its adsorption of humic-like 

fluorescent components. The result provided support for selecting PAC in PAC-

ultrafiltration hybrid process, which would be more effective for fouling control. &copy;

Abstract:Water quality is the key problem that water management departments concern. 

Water quality of Beijing segment of South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project 

is closely related to water security and social stability in Beijing. Since the 

connection of Beijing part in Middle Route of South-to-North Diversion Project, water 

quality data of Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank was 

collected, and water quality indexes including water temperature, total nitrogen, nitrate 

nitrogen, chloride ion, sulfate, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, pH, ammonia 

nitrogen, fluorine ion and total phosphorus, were monitored monthly. With variance 

analysis, water quality difference among different water sources of the South-to-North 

Water Diversion of Middle Route was analyzed. With factor analysis method, the water 

quality risk factors of Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank 

were identified. The results were as following, water from Hebei province had higher 

contents of nitrate nitrogen, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, chloride ion and sulfate than 

those of water from Danjiangkou reservoir, but the water quality was not as good as that 

from Danjiangkou reservoir. LSD difference test results showed that the dissolved oxygen, 

nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen of the water from Hebei province had significant 

differences (P&lt;0.05) between flood season and non-flood season, there was significant 

difference (P&lt;0.05) in pH of water from Danjiangkou reservoir between flood season and 

non-flood season, and the water quality of Danjiangkou reservoir was more stable than 

water from Heibei province. No matter in flood season or non-flood season, there were no 

significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in pH, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, total 

phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen between the water from Danjiangkou reservoir and Heibei 

province, but there were significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in nitrate nitrogen, total 

nitrogen, fluorine ion and sulfate ion and chloride ion. Contents of Nitrate nitrogen, 

total nitrogen, sulfate and chloride ion in 2015 (the mixture of water from Hebei 

province and Danjiangkou reservoir) in Daning regulation and storage reservoir were lower 

than those in 2012-2014 (water from Hebei province), and the water from Danjiangkou 

reservoir played a key role in dilution and adjustment of the water from Hebei province 

in Daning regulation and storage reservoir. The water quality differences test results 

between 2012-2014 and 2015 showed that there were significant differences (P&lt;0.05) in 

the nitrate nitrogen, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ion both in 

flood season and non-flood season, and the water quality of 2015 was better than that of 

2012~2014 in non-flood season, but the differences of pH, dissolved oxygen, permanganate 

index, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen were not obvious (P&lt;0.05). The difference 

test results between Daning regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank showed 

that Permanganate index, total nitrogen, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ion had 

significant differences (P&lt;0.05) both in flood season and non-flood season, and the 

contents of permanganate index, fluorine ion, sulfate and chloride ions in Daning 

regulation and storage reservoir were higher than those in Daning surge tank. The factor 

analysis results indicated that water quality potential risk factors both in Daning 

regulation and storage reservoir and Daning surge tank were mainly nitrogen, including 

ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen, and potential risk factors also 

included total phosphorus in Daning regulation and storage reservoir. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:This study conducted a full two-year (2014 and 2015) measurements of dry and 

bulk deposition of atmospheric inorganic nitrogen (N) at the suburb of Xining city, 

Qinghai province. Dry N deposition fluxes were calculated by multiplying the atmospheric 

concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>measured using passive samplers with 

the modeled dry deposition velocities provided by the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport 

model, while bulk N deposition fluxes were measured using precipitation gauge. Annual 

mean concentrations of gaseous NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>averaged 8.8 and 19.6 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively, with significantly higher values in 2015 than 

in 2014. Seasonal mean NH<inf>3</inf>concentrations were higher in spring and summer than 

in autumn and winter, but the concentrations of NO<inf>2</inf>changed little from season 

to season, with a small peak in autumn. Annual mean concentrations of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in precipitation averaged 

2.2 and 1.8 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Concentrations of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N in autumn were~55% lower than those in other seasons, 

whereas those of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in autumn or winter were~26% higher than 

those in spring and summer. Dry deposition of NH<inf>3</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>was 9.0 and 

2.8 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Bulk deposition of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in precipitation was 7.6 

and 6.2 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Reduced N 

(gaseous NH<inf>3</inf>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N in precipitation) was the 

dominant form of N deposition. The total dry and wet N deposition was 25.6 kg&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, which represented significant nutrient input from 

the environment to the suburban farmland, but this amount of deposited N exceeded the 

critical loads [10-20 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>] of terrestrial 

ecosystems, suggesting a risk of &ldquo;N saturation&rdquo; in the local natural 

environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A short-cut nitrification process with modified polyethylene as carrier was 

operated to investigate the biofilm short-cut nitrification recovery using synthetic 

inorganic ammonia-rich wastewater as influent at 30&#8451; &plusmn;1&#8451;. The short-

cut nitrification was destroyed first by excessive aeration, and it was not built in 83 

days under the condition of continuous aeration with DO less than 0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and free ammonia (FA) more than 1.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which are very 

beneficial to short-cut nitrification. However, short-cut nitrification was realized by 

changing continuous aeration to intermittent aeration on 84<sup>th</sup>day, and it was 

proved again on 142nd day. After that, biofilm system provided a living environment for 

ANAMMOX bacteria, anaerobic ammonia oxidation occurred, and the biofilm short-cut 

nitrification process was gradually transformed into CANON process. As the load of 

influent and aeration increased, the total nitrogen removal efficiency and removal load 

increased, and the total nitrogen removal load could reach up to 2.52 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. Finally, in the 3rd stage, 

&Delta;NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N/&Delta;TN was 0.10 on average, which means stabe 

short-cut nitrification in the CANON process. Therefore, once NOB was adapted to FA, it 

would be not very easy to recover short-cut nitrification, while intermittent aeration 

was an effective way, and the nitriation process would be finally transformed into CANON 

process, which would further improve the short-cut nitrification stability. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:UV activated sodium persulfate was employed to remove triclosan (TCS) in aqueous 

solution. The effects of several factors such as UV wavelength, 

UV<inf>254</inf>intensity, sodium persulfate dosage, pH value, and HA on TCS degradation 

were investigated. The second-order rate constants of free radicals (&middot;OH, 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>) reacting with TCS and their contributions to TCS 

removal were determined, respectively. The dominant free radical was also identified. 

Furthermore, the TCS degradation efficiency in natural water by UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS and 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was compared. Finally, the possible pathway 

and intermediate products of TCS degradation were analyzed with GC/MS. The results 

indicated that UV<inf>254</inf>activated sodium persulfate could effectively remove TCS. 

The removal rate of TCS could reach 98.15% within 100s under the conditions of UV 

wavelength of 254 nm,UV intensity of 11.5&mu;W&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>,sodium persulfate 

dosage of 1mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>,and TCS initial concentration of 275 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. TCS degradation followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic 

model and the pseudo-first-order rate constant was determined to be 0.039 2 s<sup>-

1</sup>. Pseudo-first-order rate constant for TCS degradation increased with the increase 

of UV<inf>254</inf>intensity(I)and sodium persulfate dosage within experiment ranges. The 

effect of UV wavelength on TCS removal was not notable. Neutral condition was detrimental 

to TCS degradation. TCS removal was inhibited in the presence of HA. The reaction rate 

constants for &middot;OH and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>reacting with TCS were 

7.62&times;10<sup>9</sup>L&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>and 

9.86&times;10<sup>9</sup>L&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>,respectively. 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>&middot;-</sup>was the dominant free radical and its contribution rate 

to TCS removal was 97.63% in UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS system. The K value of 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS was 4.13 times higher than that of 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>process,which demonstrated that 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS process could remove TCS more effectively than 

UV<inf>254</inf>/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>. The main intermediate products found were 

2,4-DCP and phenol in the degradation process of TCS in Milli-Q water by 

UV<inf>254</inf>/SPS. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Targeting at the characteristics of low concentration but high risk of endocrine 

disrupting compounds in the aquatic environment, the current study investigated the 

distribution of estrogenicity and E2 level using recombinant yeast estrogen screen (YES) 

and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELSIA) during domestic wastewater treatment 

processes. The results showed that the levels of estrogenicity and E2 in influents of 

wastewater treatment plants were 4.35-7.58 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 36.95-83.43 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. It was found that biological treatment processes 

played a crucial role in the removal of estrogenicity and E2, such as oxidation ditch, 

A<sup>2</sup>/O and A<sup>2</sup>/O followed by MBR, where the removal of estrogenicity 

and E2 was 71.10%-75.54% and 75.88%-80.72%, respectively. The activated sludge, with an 

estrogencity level of 1.84-2.43 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an E2 level of 8.45-12.84 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, had the function of eliminating estrogenic effect to a certain 

extent by adsorption. The estrogenic activity in the effluent of domestic wastewater was 

1.06-2.19 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which will pose potential risk to the aquatic life in 

the environment. Last but not least, ELISA had a good correlation with YES assay, which 

provides a new method for rapid screening and assessment of water environmental estrogen.

Abstract:The alleviation effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on Ni toxicity in rice 

seedings was investigated. The results showed that low concentration of Ni stress (10, 50 

&mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) had little effect on the growth of root of rice seedings, 

while higher concentration of Ni stress (100-1 000 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) 

significantly inhibited the growth of rice root. Compared with the control treatment, the 

addition of 100 and 1 000 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni would decrease the total length 

and surface area of root by 63.3%-98.0% and 56.9%-96.3%, respectively. The results showed 

that addition of exogenous melatonin had a positive effect on the growth of rice seedings 

under Ni stress. This kind of positive effect was even more obvious in the root of rice 

seedings. The total length of rice root decreased by 58.4%-83.8% at Ni concentration of 

100 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, whereas it decreased by only 8.7%-29.1% when 100 

&mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni and 10 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>MT were added, 

compared with the control treatment. The addition of exogenous melatonin had significant 

alleviation effects on oxidative stress in rice seedings caused by Ni. Compared with the 

100 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ni treatment, addition of 10 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>exogenous MT could significantly decrease the production rate of 

O<inf>2</inf><sup>-&middot;</sup>by 43.2%-50.2% and the relative electrolytic leakage by 

25.7%-31.6%, whereas increase the activities of CAT by 21.9%-33.7% and the soluble 

protein content by 82.6%-84.6%. The results suggested that application of exogenous 

melatonin could effectively alleviate the toxic effects of Ni on rice seedings. &copy;

Abstract:Wastewater treatment plants treating industrial wastewater and municipal 

wastewater may suffer from unexpected shock loads of high ammonia concentrations, which 

can lead to inhibition of biological nitrification and failure to meet the wastewater 

discharge standards. In order to solve the problem of failure to meet the standards, the 

effects of high loadings of free ammonia (FA) on the nitrification process were 

investigated in this work using a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). For such purpose, 

maximum specific degradation rates of ammonia, maximum specific formation rates of 

nitrate, specific oxygen uptake rates and abundances of nitrifying bacteria were 

monitored. The results showed that FA promoted nitrification activities at low 

concentrations and inhibited the activities when the FA concentration exceeded a certain 

value. In addition, high loading concentrations of FA resulted in long recovery times. 

When the FA concentration increased from 3.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 8.1 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the abundances of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) increased slightly, as shown by the fluorescence in situ 

hybridization tests. However, there were apparent decreases in the abundances of AOB and 

NOB when the concentration of FA was higher than 8.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The 

critical FA inhibitory concentrations for AOB and NOB were 8.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and 6.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. It was found that the NOB flora were more 

sensitive than AOB to FA inhibition. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a main ingredient of brominated flame 

retardants, has drawn more and more attention because of the pollution it caused in 

sediment. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to investigate the impact of 

Brevibacillus brevis and Enterococcus casselifavus on the enhancement of phytoremediation 

by Thalia dealbata, which is common in the river bank and was found to be an effective 

plant for BDE-209 removal. The concentration of organic acids, the amount of 

microorganisms and the ability of carbon utilization of soil microorganisms in different 

experimental groups were analyzed. The results showed that the removal rate of BDE-209 in 

the exogenous microbes containing groups were higher than that of the control. And B. 

brevis presented the highest enhancement of phytoremediation with the removal rate rising 

highest to 66% compared with the control (non-rhizosphere group 37.93% and no plant group 

39.27%) after 60 days. The removal of BDE-209 in sediment, quantity of microorganism, 

concentration of organic acids and the ability of carbon utilization of soil 

microorganisms in rhizosphere sediment were higher than those in non-rhizosphere 

sediment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples of four seasons were collected from Nov. 2014 to Aug. 

2015 at the site of Shengsi island in Zhoushan islands. Mercury (Hg) and speciated 

mercury concentrations in PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were measured by Atomic Fluorescence 

Spectrometry (AFS-9130, China) after digestion with CEM Mars Xpress (PyNN Corporation, 

USA). The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were determined by thermal/optical carbon analyzer (DRI, USA). 

The results showed that the daily concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>-bounded mercury 

(PBM) ranged from 0.02 to 1.25 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Moreover, the mass content of 

PBM was (12.46&plusmn;18.79) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which was higher than those in 

continental cities. ANOVA analysis result suggested that the highest average mass 

concentrations of PBM occurred in fall, sequentially followed by spring, winter and 

summer. Higher concentrations of PBM were in fall and spring, which might be related to 

biomass burning. In addition, RPM took the highest fraction of 53.1% in PBM, followed by 

HPM (27.3%) and EPM (19.7%), which might be resulted from the complicated composition of 

marine aerosols. The strong correlations among OC, EC and PBM indicated that carbonaceous 

composition may affect the transport of Hg in the atmosphere. The ratio of OC/EC 

represents atmospheric photo-oxidation capacity, so the positive correlation between 

OC/EC ratio and HPM indicated that HPM was resulted from atmospheric gas-particle 

transformation. The negative correlation between Char-EC/soot-EC and mercury species 

indicated that the atmospheric particle-bounded mercury might come mainly from the input 

of external mercury sources. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Four typical coal-fired power plants in Chongqing, representing two different 

boiler types (circulating fluidized bed boiler and pulverized coal boiler), were chosen 

to investigate mercury emission characteristics through a mercury mass balance method by 

analyzing mercury contents in all input and output raw materials in order to accurately 

estimate mercury emissions. The results showed coal with mercury concentrations ranging 

(80.77&plusmn;6.39)-(266.83&plusmn;4.71) &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>could be a 

significant contributor of input mercury in these four studied power plants. Most mercury 

output from these power plants entered into solid waste with high proportion of mercury 

entering the fly ash in CFB plants and entering the fly ash and desulfurization gypsum in 

PC plants. Mercury removal efficiencies of studied plants were in the range of 72.89%-

96.05%, and these efficiencies in CFB plants were higher than those in PC plants. The 

mercury emission factors for EF<inf>electricity</inf>and EF<inf>coal</inf>of these four 

plants were 4.66-29.47 &mu;g&middot;(kW&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 8.55-71.77 

mg&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The mercury emission was also calculated to be 

6.13-429.17 g&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>. Mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants were 

associated with the content of mercury in coal, boiler type, generation load, pollution 

control equipment, and so on. To control the mercury emissions, more attention should be 

paid to improving the generation load, increasing the mercury removal efficiency of flue 

gas cleaning equipment, and strengthening the supervision of solid waste re-utilization.

Abstract:To reveal the effect of coupling process of wetting-drying and seasonal 

temperature on sediment nitrogen (N) minerization, surface sediment samples were 

collected from the water level fluctuating zone(WLFZ) of Pengxi River crossing two 

hydrological sections. The sediment samples were incubated under drying and submerging 

conditions at the controlled temperature. The result showed that NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N and sand% in the sediment of higher altitude of water level (170 m) were higher 

than those in low altitudes (150 and 160 m), whereas contents of TN, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and clay% and silt% in low altitudes were much higher. Generally, Net N 

mineralization rate and cumulation were lower in higher altitude of water level during 

the drying period and submerging period. The ammonification rate decreased rapidly at the 

initial stage of incubation (0-7 d), and then had no obvious change, and no significant 

differences among altitudes was observed. The nitrification rate at low altitude 

decreased with incubation time, while it had only a little change at higher altitude; The 

nitrification contributed a higher fraction of net N mineralization than ammonification. 

Net N mineralization rate and its cumulation were significantly higher in the drying 

period than in the submerging period, while net N mineralization rate decreased with 

incubation time at all altitudes. Net N mineralization cumulation tended to rise first 

and then declined at all altitudes of the drying period, whereas it was continuously 

decreasing at the low water level altitude during the submerging period. Net N nitrogen 

mineralization rate of the drying period was positively correlate to both the sediment 

organic matter content and its C&#8758;N ratio, while it showed a negative correlation in 

the submerging period(P&lt;0.001). Net N mineralization was sensitive to temperature 

increase (Q<inf>10</inf>&gt;1) in the drying period, while it was insensitive during the 

submerging period of low altitude (Q<inf>10</inf>&lt;1). Thus, the impact of temperature 

on Net N mineralization was relatively low in submerging period of winter and N was 

accumulated with low releasing rate. In contrast to winter, summer exhibited warmer and 

drying period, this two factors would lead to higher N mineralization rate and further 

induce the potential risk of eutrophication as N releasing into water body. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere of the north suburb of 

Nanjing in December 2015 were determined by GC5000 online gas chromatography, and the 

main composition and characteristics of VOCs were analyzed by using the PMF receptor 

model sources of VOCs parsing. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

human exposure analysis and evaluation method in the United States were used to evaluate 

Human health risk of benzene series. The results showed that there were 6 sources in the 

PMF mode. Natural gas leakage accounted for 32.05%, automobile exhaust accounted for 

18.99%, solvent use 13.67%, industrial emissions 2 13.20%, gasoline volatile 11.72%, and 

industrial emissions 1 (chemical type) 10.36%. The high value areas of the emission 

source were in accordance with the location of pollution sources surrounding the 

observation point. The B/T ratio was 0.74, which was at a relatively high level.The 

noncarcinogenic risk hazard quotient value HQ at 06:00 reached the highest value. HQ risk 

values were within the safe range specified by EPA. HQ of each source was as follows: 

automobile exhaust emissions 20.67&times;10<sup>-2</sup>, solvent use 

6.97&times;10<sup>-2</sup>, natural gas leakage 6.34&times;10<sup>-2</sup>. In the 

carcinogenic risk of benzene, automobile exhaust emissions was 4.11&times;10<sup>-

6</sup>, and natural gas leakage was 1.09&times;10<sup>-6</sup>, both were higher than 

the EPA specified safety threshold. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:8 surface sediments and 8 water samples were collected from the Daye Lake in 

August 2015. The 16 kinds of EPA control polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were 

analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the PAHs concentrations of surface sediments 

and water ranged from 35.94 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 2 032.73 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>and from 27.94 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 242.95 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with 

average contents of 940.61 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 107.77ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The distribution of PAHs in surface sediments indicated that the contents 

in the center samples were higher than those in the bank samples, but the water showed 

nearly the opposite tendency. The 4-5 rings high molecular weight PAHs were the main 

components in the surface sediments, and the 2, 4 and 5 rings PAHs were given priority in 

water. Compared with the other domestic and oversea lakes, the PAHs pollution of the Daye 

Lake was at a moderate level. Source apportionment showed that the PAHs in surface 

sediments and water from the Daye Lake came from the combustion source, HWM-PAHs were the 

dominant part of the PAHs in the sediment, reflecting the sediment PAHs pollution under 

the effects of mining and smelting over a long period; All monomer PAHs and total PAHs 

content in sediment did not exceed the ERM and FEL limiting values, showing that there 

was no particularly serious ecological risk caused by PAHs in the surface sediments from 

the Daye Lake; the incremental lifetime cancer risks assessment showed that the uptake 

risk of PAHs in Daye Lake water through the ingestion and dermal absorption were both in 

the acceptable range recommended by the USEPA, but all sites had higher risk than the 

acceptable risk level recommended by the Sweden environmental protection agency and Royal 

society. The pollution of seven carcinogenic PAHs needs prevention and control. &copy;

observation period was in the range of 1.01-14.05 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>with an 

average of 4.39 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, showing the characteristics of double peaks 

for lighter pollution, andhigh in the nighttime and low in the daytime during heavier 

pollution. Using the relative coating thickness(D<inf>p</inf>/D<inf>c</inf>)to define 

mixing state of black carbon, diurnal variations were higher in early morning and noon 

when slightly polluted, and lower during rush hour, indicating the degree of BC ageing 

was deeper in the morning and afternoon, with fresher particles near the ground source 

emissions during rush hour. The relative coating thickness did not vary greatly 

throughout the day when heavily polluted, which was expected to be linked to regional 

pollutants and it also showed Gas-solid transformation under high relative humidity. The 

average mass and number size distribution had single peaking with the same BC volume-

equivalent diameter in different degrees of pollution, with the peak diameter at 100 nm 

for the number distribution when heavily polluted, at 91 nm when slightly polluted, and 

at 210 nm for the mass distribution regardless of the degree of pollution. We could find 

regional differences of BC sources by comparing the observed research worldwide. This 

study has very important reference value for the in-depth understanding of BC pollution 

in Yangtze River Delta. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the distribution characteristics of organophosphorus 

pesticides (OPPs)in the soil of Jianghan plain,78 profile-soil samples from various depth 

and 7 surface-soil samples were collected in September,2015 in established groundwater 

monitoring field site, Jianghan plain. The OPPs concentrations were determined by gas 

chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detector(GC-NPD). The results showed that OPPs 

were widespread in our studied area. The OPPs concentrations of suface-soil samples 

ranged from 89.80 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 193.85 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>,with an 

average of 140.05 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, whereas the OPPs concentrations of profile-

soil samples ranged from 19.81 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 138.28 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>,with an average of 40.99 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The main ingredients of OPPs 

in surface and profile soil samples were methamidophos, omethoate, diazinon and 

quinalphos,and the residual amount of 10 kinds of OPPs had posed a threat to agricultural 

products according to the America soil pesticide residue limits standards. The horizontal 

distribution of OPPs concentration in profile soil followed the order of nearby river 

farm area&gt;nearby river area&gt;farm area, namely GS1-1&gt;GS4&gt;GS2&gt;GS3. while the 

vertical distribution mostly decreased at first and then increased with increasing depth. 

The distribution characteristics of OPPs were also influenced by many factors, such as 

application amount of OPPs, the adsorption and desorption actions of soil, vertical 

movement of groundwater, the terrain environment in the study area, and the concentration 

of soil organic matters. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study aimed to identify the function of polyphosphate kinase gene (ppk) in 

phosphorus removal. With the Red system, the target DNA with the homologous short arms 

was amplified in the plasmid pKD4. Then the target DNA was transformed into E. coli 

ATCC25922 which already had the suicide plasmid pKD46 by electroporation. The plasmid 

pCP20 was transformed into the recombinant strains to delete the kanamycin resistance 

gene. With the screening by negative resistance, together with verification using 

positive and negative primers, the construction of ppk gene deletion strain E. 

coli/ppk<sup>-</sup>Kan<sup>-</sup>was confirmed. The growth characteristics of both the 

wild-type strain and the mutant strain were determined, and the phosphate accumulating 

characteristics were compared when cultured in the phosphate luxuriant medium after 

induced in the phosphate lacking medium. Also the phosphate accumulating characteristics 

of the two strains were compared after cultured in the anaerobic and aerobic alternating 

conditions for 5 times. The results showed that the ppk deletion strain E. 

coli/ppk<sup>-</sup>Kan<sup>-</sup>was successfully constructed. There was no growth 

difference between the mutant strain and the wild-type strain. But in the first 4 hours 

of log phase, the mutant strain grew faster than the wild-type strain. And 8h later, when 

both strains were in stationary phase, the mutant strain grew slower than the wild type, 

indicating that ppk affected the growth of the bacteria. Cultured in the phosphate 

lacking medium and the phosphate luxuriant medium, the mutant strain's ability of 

phosphate accumulating didn't decrease in spite of having no ppk gene. After 5 times 

induction, the amounts of phosphorus in both strains were about 1%-2%. The phosphate 

amounts in the cells did not increase with increasing inducing times. Polyphosphate or 

PHB was detected neither at anaerobic phase nor at the aerobic phase. It indicated that 

the deletion of ppk did not affect the phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment 

process, and the ppk gene did not show the function of phosphorus removal. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The objective of this experiment was to investigate the influence of 

SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>dosage, pH value, initial perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS)

concentration as well as coexisting substances on the degradation and defluorination of 

PFOS by VUV-SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>process. The results indicated that the increase 

of SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>dosage could lead to rise in the concentration of active 

species hydrated electron(e<inf>aq</inf><sup>-</sup>) and thus enhance the degradation 

and defluorination of PFOS. As the concentration of SO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>increased 

from 1 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 20 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the degradation and 

defluorination rates of PFOS increased from 45% and 40% to 97% and 63%, respectively. The 

degradation and defluorination of PFOS were also enhanced with the increment of the 

solution pH values, and the defluorination was more sensitive to the pH values. In 

addition, more PFOS was degraded with the increase of initial PFOS mass concentration, 

although the degradation and defluorination rates of PFOS were reduced. When the initial 

PFOS mass concentration changed from 1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, the degradation amount of PFOS after four hrs increased by about 50 times, 

probably due to the higher utilization proportion of e<inf>aq</inf><sup>-</sup>at high 

pollutants concentration. Last but not least, the influence of co-existing substances, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>and HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, on PFOS degradation could be neglected, 

whereas their effects on defluorination were observed. Defluorination of PFOS was 

enhanced with the increased Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration, however, increased first and 

then decreased with the increment of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>concentration. It was 

also found that the presence of humic acid(HA) lowered degradation as well as 

defluorination of PFOS owing to the blockage of effective UV light and trapping of active 

species for photochemical reaction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The contents of 8 heavy metal elements (Sr, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn) and the 

lead &amp; strontium isotope composition of soil profile of woodland in Quanzhou city 

were analyzed by AAS and ICP-MS, respectively. A modified BCR four-step sequential 

extraction procedure was carried out to obtain the speciation fractionation of heavy 

metals in the soil profile from 4 stations. The results of the heavy metal elements and 

the speciation fractionation of heavy metals in the soil profile showed that the heavy 

metal pollution in the woodland in Quanzhou was relatively light, and the main pollution 

factor was Sr. The non-residue state of Pb was the highest, leading to the highest 

activity. The result of Nemero comprehensive pollution index showed that Sr in the depth 

of 0-60 cm was at heavy pollution level. The results of the RSP showed that the activity 

of Pb was the highest. The results of EF showed that Pb, Sr, Mn and Zn had exogenous 

sources. Factor analysis showed that the main sources of heavy metals were the compound 

pollution of agricultural activities, natural resources, and the vehicle exhaust. 

Composition of Pb isotopic ratios showed that, Pb in soil profile of woodland in Quanzhou 

was from vehicle exhaust and parent material. The contribution rates of the two sources 

in the soil profile were calculated by using the two-mixed model. The contribution rates 

of parent material and vehicle exhaust were 85.14%(62.53%-98.36%) and 14.86%(1.640%-

37.47%) on average, respectively. Strontium isotope tracing results showed that the main 

sources of strontium were also vehicle exhaust and parent material. Coupling both Pb and 

Sr isotope ratios agreed with the above mentioned results. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Effect of application of sewage sludge compost on the emission of greenhouse gas 

from soil was investigated by analyzing the dynamic characteristics and emission factor 

of CO<inf>2</inf>, CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O in soil after spiking two different 

composts (A: compost with biochar, B: compost without biochar) with varying fertilizing 

amount into soil. The results indicated that emissions of CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>mainly occurred in the plant growth period with low fertilizer amount of 

biomass charcoal compost reducing CO<inf>2</inf>emissions, and high application content 

increasing CO<inf>2</inf>emissions. CH<inf>4</inf>emission fluxes showed negative values, 

indicating that soil could adsorb CH<inf>4</inf>, and the adsorbing amount for control 

was significantly higher than those for other treatments (P&lt;0.01). The absorbing 

amount in treatment A increased with the fertilizing amount (P&lt;0.05). N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions mainly occurred at the germination and seedling stages, and emission fluxes 

increased with the fertilizing amount (P&lt;0.01). N<inf>2</inf>O was considered as the 

main generated greenhouse gas during agricultural process with sludge compost, and its 

emission factor from sludge compost soil was 1.02%-1.90% (A compost) and 1.28%-2.93% (B 

compost), respectively. Biochar could significantly reduce the carbon emission, as the 

total greenhouse gas released from soil with biochar compost was 19.49% to 35.56% less 

than that in soil without biochar, which was more obvious for N<inf>2</inf>O emission 

reduction (compared with CH<inf>4</inf>mitigation). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Biochar application to soils is currently considered as a means of mitigating 

climate change by sequestering C, which withdraws CO<inf>2</inf>from the atmosphere and 

consequently influences the trend of global climate change. However, only a few studies 

have been done on surface albedo variations on farmland, it might be true that the 

application of biochar to soil could induce a radiative forcing by changing the surface 

albedo. Based on this background, this study aiming at the characterization of seasonal 

changes in albedo on the farmland both with plants and without plants, and its effect on 

soil temperature, soil moisture, soil respiration and soil organic carbon fractions. 

There were 3 major treatments in the experiment with 3 repetition of each major 

treatment, namely, CK (the control treatment), BC0.5 (biochar applied at 0.5 kg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>) and BC4.5 (biochar applied at 4.5 kg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>). Each major treatment contained 2 sub-treatments, 

which were crop cultivation (+) and non-cultivation (-). The experiment results showed 

that in the early stage of crop growth (maize seedling stage to jointing stage, wheat 

seedling stage to winter period), the surface albedo of BC4.5+ and BC0.5+ significantly 

decreased compared with CK+(P&lt;0.05). The biggest surface albedo decline rates of 

BC4.5+ and BC0.5+ in winter wheat season were 23.7%, 17.9% and 44.5%, 44.9% in summer 

maize season. The leaf area index of each treatment was remarkably correlated with the 

surface albedo. The shadow produced by the development of crop canopy structure would 

cover the change of surface color induced by the input of biochar. Under the condition of 

bare land, the surface albedo of biochar treatment was significantly decreased compared 

with the control treatment(P&lt;0.05). Compared with the control treatments, the soil 

CO<inf>2</inf>flux of the biochar treatments was significantly increased(P&lt;0.05). With 

the extension of time, the growth rate of soil CO<inf>2</inf>flux of biochar treatment 

was decreased gradually. The increase from BC4.5+ to CK+ was gradually reduced from 

276.7% to 36.1%, and the increase of BC4.5- from to CK- was significantly reduced from 

163.5% to 39.8%. The increase of soil CO<inf>2</inf>flux could be derived from the 

mineralization of the readily decomposed carbon fractions in the biochar-soil system. The 

decrease of surface albedo caused by the input of biochar had no direct effect on soil 

respiration, and the input of biochar could reduce the temperature sensitivity of soil 

respiration. This result could provide a foundation for the verification of the chemical 

and biological stability of biochar. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sediment cores from Douhe reservoir in Tangshan City were sampled in August 

2013, in order to evaluate the mercury (Hg) pollution degree and its possible sources. 

Agriculture soils surrounding the Douhe reservoir and sediments from an upstream 

reservoir (Daheiting) were also collected. Total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), 

dissolved mercury in pore water (DHg) and organic matter (OM) in sediment of Douhe 

reservoir were analyzed, while, only THg in the agriculture soils and upstream reservoir 

sediments was determined. Finally, the geoaccumulation index method was applied to 

evaluate the Hg pollution status in soils and reservoir sediments. The results showed 

that THg content in sediment of Douhe reservoir ranged from 19 to 97 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>. dw, MeHg (dw) from 0.02 to 1.27 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and the contents of 

both THg and MeHg were higher in the upper layers than the deeper layers, indicating that 

Hg in sediments was increasing in recent years by the exogenetic loadings. THg (dw) in 

soils offshore the Douhe reservoir, which is close to a large coal-fired power plant, 

averaged at 22 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Among the three sediment cores of Douhe 

reservoir, the central point had the highest THg, followed by the western site, and the 

eastern site had the lowest THg. While, THg content (dw) in sediments of Daheiting 

reservoir was much higher, with a mean of 176 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Combining all the 

above information, we concluded that Hg in Douhe reservoir was mainly derived from the 

Daheiting reservoir and the mercury atmospheric deposition from the nearby coal-fired 

power plant contributed a less content. THg and MeHg in the sediments of Douhe reservoir 

were positively correlated with OM, indicating that OM in sediments had good ability of 

adsorbing THg and MeHg, and also played an important role in Hg methylation. The

Abstract:Fertilizer and water management are two key factors for rice growth. A better 

understanding of the carbon (C) cycling in paddy soil requires investigation into the 

input characteristics and distribution dynamics of photosynthesized carbon in rice-soil 

system. We grew rice (Zhongzao 39) in PVC pots and used the<sup>13</sup>C-

CO<inf>2</inf>continuous labeling method to quantify the allocation of photosynthesized 

carbon in rice-soil system under two regimes (Drying-rewetting vs. continuous watering) 

and N fertilization (250 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>vs. no addition). The results showed 

that nitrogen fertilizer application increased rice shoot biomass and the amount of C and 

N, but had no significant influence on rice root biomass. Thus, nitrogen fertilizer 

application decreased rice biomass root/shoot ratio significantly. Drying-rewetting with 

N fertilizer treatment resulted in higher total C and N amount by 22% and 33%, 

respectively, in the shoot, and by 36% and 44%, respectively in the root than continuous 

watering with nitrogen fertilizer treatment. These results indicated that nitrogen 

fertilizer application promoted the growth of rice shoot. Nitrogen fertilizer application 

significantly increased the<sup>13</sup>C content in rice shoot by 32%-83% over the 

control without N addition. Nitrogen fertilizer application also increased 

the<sup>13</sup>C recovery in rice shoot by 6%-32%, but decreased that in the root by 

18%-59%. Pertaining to water effect, drying-rewetting with N application increased the 

amount of<sup>13</sup>C in rice shoot and root. However, without N addition, the amount 

and the recovery of<sup>13</sup>C in shoot dropped by 10.3 mg&middot;pot<sup>-1</sup>and 

12%, respectively, compared with the continuous watering treatment. The root, on the 

other hand, recorded increases in both the amount and the recovery of<sup>13</sup>C by 

1.9 mg&middot;pot<sup>-1</sup>and 57%, respectively. Furthermore, the deposition of 

assimilated C into rhizosphere-soil increased by both the individual and the interactive 

effects of N fertilizer application and drying-rewetting treatment. Thus, combining N 

fertilizer and drying-rewetting water management led to more increased allocation and 

deposition of photosynthesized carbon in soil-rice system compared with combined 

continuous flooding and N application. This study was able to quantify the partitioning 

and allocation of rice photosynthesized carbon into different plant and soil pools under 

different water and N fertilizer treatments, and can serve as a useful guide for better 

water and nutrient management practices in paddy-rice production that can achieve both 

sustainable high yield and sequestration of more C within the paddy soil system. &copy;

Abstract:To illuminate the spatial distribution of bacterial aerosols produced by 

fountain, sprinkler test was conducted in this study. Escherichia coli NK5449 was used as 

the test strain, and bacterial aerosols were sampled by Anderson six-stage air sampler at 

different sites around the sprinkler. The concentration and particle size distribution of 

bacterial aerosols and the correlation between droplet diameter and bacterial aerosols 

concentration were analyzed. The results showed that the concentration of bacterial 

aerosols ranged from (38&plusmn;15) CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>to (676&plusmn;92) 

CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in the space of 0.75 m to 1.75 m from the ground and 0.5 m to 3 

m away from the sprinkler. The bacterial aerosol concentration decreased along with the 

increase of the height and the distance between the sampling site and the sprinkler, and 

had significant negative correlation with droplet diameter (P&lt;0.05). With the increase 

of the distance to sprinkler, the proportion of bacterial aerosol particles with size of 

larger than 4.7 &mu;m decreased at first and increased subsequently; while the proportion 

of bacterial aerosol particles with size between 2.1 and 4.7 &mu;m increased firstly and 

then decreased. The bacterial aerosol particles mainly existed in the part with size 

between 1.1 and 4.7 &mu;m at sampling sites more than 0.5 m away from the sprinkler. It 

indicated that bacterial aerosols with small size may be inhaled by people far away from 

the fountain, and the risk should not be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to accurately evaluate the comprehensive ecotoxicity of domestic 

wastewater and the toxicity reduction efficiency of different treatment processes, 

standardized assays focusing on Vibrio fischeri, SOS/umu test and yeast estrogen screen 

were applied. Simultaneously, male zebrafish was used to address the mode of action of 

endocrine disrupting effects of wastewater and reclaim water on aquatic life. Results of 

this study indicated that the influent was severely polluted: highly acute toxicity, 

genotoxicity and estrogenicity were observed. After the secondary biological treatment, 

the above toxicities were significantly reduced, making the water quality improved. 

However, the estrogencity of secondary effluent was detected at 1.89 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, which still posed potential risk on the aquatic life in receiving water. In 

addition, the up-regulation of estrogen receptor (esr1) and vitellogenin (vtg1) in the 

livers of zebrafish was observed after exposure to 2.5 times concentrated wastewaters, 

which demonstrated that wastewater modulates hormonal activities of aquatic life by 

disturbing target genes expression. Moreover, the slight down-regulation of esr1 was 

observed in the gonads. These observations reflect that the evaluation of biological 

toxic effect should be analyzed in different tissues or organs, so that more 

comprehensive information about the adverse effects of wastewaters on aquatic life can be 

obtained. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Biochemical methane potential experiments were conducted to investigate the 

effects of organic loading rate on the performance of anaerobic digesters with vinegar 

residues. According to the comparisons of methane production and liquid phase 

compositions, as well as thermogravimetry, X-ray Diffraction and infrared spectroscopy 

analyses, the conclusions could be drawn that: (1) Lower organic loading rate was better 

to mitigate the accumulation of VFAs and pH decrease during the hydrolysis and 

acidification of organic matters, which consequently improved methane production. When 

the inoculum to substrate ratio was 1:1[organic loading rate of 1.78 g&middot;

(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, pH=7.60], the cumulative methane production was the highest, 

reaching 2249.7 mL, and the performance of the digesters was stable. The VFAs content 

increased with the increase of the organic loading rate, leading to the suppression and 

further the stop of methane production. And when the inoculum to substrate ratio was 1:4 

[organic loading rate of 7.12 g&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, pH=5.52], the 

simultaneous generation of acetate and lactic acids could be achieved at 8000 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 2650 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. (2) As vinegar 

residues were short-range ordered with microcrystalline structure or mainly contained 

amorphous substances, they were more biodegradable than feedstocks such as corn stalk. 

During the anaerobic digestion processes, the degradation rates of lignin, cellulose and 

hemicellulose increased with the decrease of organic loading rate. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Based on the online measurements of VOCs of high pollution process at the 

university site in winter, VOCs' characteristics and species at different levels of haze 

pollution were analyzed. Fifty-five VOCs were detected during sampling. 

&sum;<inf>55</inf>VOCs concentrations ranged between 25.5&times;10<sup>-9</sup>-

1320.3&times;10<sup>-9</sup>(avg&plusmn;SD, 240&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>&plusmn;181&times;10<sup>-9</sup>). Toluene and xylene were the major pollutants 

during high pollution process, the concentrations of which were higher than those of 

industrial area. The university site shared a similar VOC composition with that of 

industrial area, which suggested that it might be influenced by the surrounding 

industries. VOCs species exhibited high concentrations in nighttime while low 

concentrations in daytime. The ozone concentrations were on the contrary. Aromatic 

hydrocarbons were predominant with a high percentage of contribution (70.0%) to OFP 

(ozone formation potential). Alkenes and alkynes were the second highest group (16.7%). 

The OFP of VOCs was 2078.2&times;10<sup>-9</sup>under the west-south wind direction, 

about 4 times higher than the value under other wind directions (505.8&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>). Aromatic hydrocarbons exhibited a predominant contribution to OFP at different 

levels of haze pollution in this area, among which, Toluene and xylene contributed more 

than 50% to OFP. The newest version of EPA PMF model was used to identify the major 

source of VOCs and evaluate their contributions. Gasoline sources and vehicle exhaust, 

refinery and petroleum products, solvent use and organic synthetic materials were the 

identified VOC sources in the study area, contributing 33.1%, 31.5%, 30.5%, and 4.9%, 

respectively to the &sum;<inf>55</inf>VOCs concentrations. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:To explore the short-term impact of biodegradable organic matter on the 

activities of different functional microbes in autotrophic partial nitrification granular 

sludge (PNG), the variations of both nitrogen transformation performance and dissolved 

oxygen (DO) uptake of PNG were investigated in this study, by carrying out successive 

batch tests with and without the organics stressing. The results showed that the higher 

the C/N ratio, the lower the specific nitrite accumulation rate of q

(NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N). Meanwhile, the increase of heterotrophic bacteria (HeB) 

activities caused the fast DO uptake by PNG, which could effectively suppress nitrite 

oxidizing bacteria (NOB) with the low oxygen affinity. When inorganic substrate culture 

was employed in the following phase, both HeB and NOB showed low activities, with 

significant increase in q(NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N). In short, the adverse effects of 

biodegradable organic matter on the performance of PNG system were partially reversible, 

which could benefit to enhance the advantage of ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

improve the stability of partial nitrification reaction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Effects of pH and complexing agents on Sb(V) adsorption onto birnessite and 

ferrihydrite surface were investigated. The results indicated that birnessite and 

ferrihydrite had strong ability to adsorb Sb(V). The removal efficiencies of Sb(V) by 

birnessite and ferrihydrite were dependent on the initial pH in solution. The removal 

efficiency of Sb(V) increased with the decrease of solution pH. At pH 5.0, the removal 

efficiencies, adsorption rate and adsorption capacity were better than those at pH 7.0 or 

9.0. The adsorption process of Sb(V) on birnessite and ferrihydrite could be well 

described by the pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir model best described the 

adsorption behavior of Sb(V) by birnessite and ferrihydrite at pH 5.0. The presence of 

citric acid or EDTA had significant effect on Sb(V) adsorption onto birnessite and 

ferrihydrite. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A total of 22 water samples collected from Luomahu Lake were determined using 

high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS) to evaluate 

the pollution level, spatial distribution and ecological risk of 32 PPCPs. 23 PPCPs were 

detected in surface water of Luomahu Lake and the total concentrations of 22 samples were 

892-1 536 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The concentration of norfloxacin (256-707 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) was the highest among the detected PPCPs, followed by 

ketoprofen (85-438 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), acesulfame (101-290 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>) and naproxen (1.9-112 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). Spatial differences were found 

in concentrations of PPCPs in various sampling sites. Concentrations of PPCPs in 

northeast of Luomahu Lake were higher than those of southwest. Concentration of PPCPs in 

Fangtinghe River was high and that of Zhangshanzha River was relatively low. The risk 

assessment of 13 pharmaceutical PPCPs showed that risk quotients(RQs) of norfloxacin were 

0.26-0.72, posing medial risk to aquatic ecosystem. Gemifibrozil posed low ecological 

risks with RQs&gt;0.01 in most sampling sites. RQs of other 11 PPCPs were less than 0.01, 

posing no ecological risks. The combined risk quotients of 12 PPCPs in water of Luomahu 

Lake were 0.29-0.75, indicating that those compounds posed an medial risk to aquatic 

ecosystem. Human health risk assessment showed that the RQs were less than one for 6 

selected PPCPs, indicating that these compounds did not appear to pose an appreciable 

risk to human health by potential environmental exposure from drinking water. &copy;

Abstract:A rapid recombinant human thyroid (hTR) gene yeast bioassay was used to evaluate 

the effect of dissolved humic acid on thyroid receptor antagonistic activity of 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The concentration of bio-available zinc after its reaction with 

dissolved humic acids was measured by anodic stripping voltammetry(ASV). Furthermore, the 

reaction mechanism of humic acid and zinc was investigated by three-dimensional 

excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3DEEM). The results revealed that 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>demonstrated strong thyroid receptor antagonistic activity, and the 

concentration inhibiting 20% of the maximum effect of ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was 

1.70&times;10<sup>-5</sup>mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The thyroid receptor antagonistic 

activity of ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was reduced by 30%-50% after the reaction of dissolved humic 

acids. The results of ASV showed that the concentration of bio-available zinc was 

decreased after the reaction of dissolved humic acids, the result was similar to that of 

bioassay test. The thyroid receptor antagonistic activity of the mixed solution of humic 

acid and ZnCl<inf>2</inf>was increased after UV radiation treatment, however it was still 

lower than the antagonistic activity induced by ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The results of 3DEEM 

showed that ZnCl<inf>2</inf>could reduce the fluorescence peak intensity of humic acid, 

which could intuitively characterize the interaction between humic acid and 

ZnCl<inf>2</inf>. The above results can provide basic data and theoretical support for 

zinc toxicity study in aquatic environment and the establishment of water quality 

criteria for znic. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The influence of Cd on the degradation of nonylphenol (NP) by P.aeruginosa SH1 

was investigated in this study. The investigation revealed that biomass of the strain was 

significantly declined with the increase of Cd<sup>2+</sup>concentration. The biomass was 

declined by 27.1% in the presence of 10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Cd<sup>2+</sup>after 24 

h. The addition of Cd<sup>2+</sup>had a great influence on adsorption of NP by the 

strain. As for the effect of living stain, adsorption by P.aeruginosa SH1 cells was 

stimulated at low concentrations of Cd<sup>2+</sup>(0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), while 

inhibited at higher levels(&ge;5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). As for inactivation of 

microbes, adsorption by cells was stimulated at higher concentrations, but was only 

slightly influenced at low levels. The results showed that the intracellular enzymes had 

much greater degradation rate than the living cells. Different concentrations of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>had different effects on bacteria and intracellular enzyme degradation of 

NP separately. The degradation efficiency when using intracellular enzymes and bacteria 

was inhibited at higher levels of Cd<sup>2+</sup>and the intracellular enzyme inhibition 

was more significant. Degradation by cells was stimulated at low concentrations of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>, but no significant impact was found on that by intracellular enzymes. 

The degradation process of NP by intracellular enzymes of the strain conformed to the 

first-order kinetic model. The highest reaction rate was achieved when the concentrations 

of Cd<sup>2+</sup>was 0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the half-life of this substrate was 

5.5 h. However, the degradation process of NP by the strain did not conform to the 

first-order kinetic model. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The utilization of straw resources is of great significance to agricultural 

environmental protection and sustainable agricultural development. Based on the isolated 

15 high-efficient cellulose degrading bacteria in the laboratory, the composite 

inoculants (JFB-1) which can effectively degrade crop straw were screened, and the 

effects of straw composts with the composite inoculants on soil carbon and nitrogen 

contents and enzyme activity were studied. The results showed that the composite 

inoculants could accelerate straw decomposition for 1-2 d during single fermentation 

period, and the organic matter contents in straw composts reached 403.5-515.1 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, while the ratio of carbon and nitrogen decreased from 10.53 to 

15.30. The pot experiments found that the application effects of rice straw composts were 

generally better than those of corresponding asparagus straw composts. Compared with the 

control compost of rice straw, when the application amount of rice straw compost using 

the composite inoculants was 150 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the contents of soil organic 

matter and total nitrogen increased by 33.5% and 7.3%, and soil urease and cellulase 

activities increased by 16.7% and 30.8%, respectively. Compared with no fertilization 

treatment, the application of straw composts could improve soil microbial community 

structure, and increase microbial diversity indices. When the application amount of rice 

straw compost using the composite inoculants was 100 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the 

biomass of common Chinese cabbage cultivated for 30 d increased by 46.4% compared to the 

control compost of rice straw. These results indicated that the composite inoculants have 

great application potential in straw composts. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Uptake of nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) and their purification capacity for five 

native submerged macrophytes were investigated in laboratory simulated hydrostatic 

conditions, including Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria natans, Ceratophyllum demersum, 

Myriophyllum spicatum, Potamogeton maackianus. The results indicated that the moisture 

contents of different submerged macrophytes were almost the same before and after the 

test,with the range of 89.8%-92.0%. The net accumulated biomass changed from 1.52 

g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>to 12.92 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>among different submerged 

macrophytes, and the highest net accumulated biomass of Hydrilla verticillata was 8.5 

times higher than the lowest plant of Potamogeton maackianus. The N and P contents of 

five submerged macrophytes ranged from 26.54 to 34.44g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and from 

2.54 to 4.01g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and the N and P contents of 

Ceratophyllum demersum were relatively high. Total N and P removal efficiency of 

different submerged macrophyte treatments had ranges of 63.8%-83.1% and 49.2%-70.8%, 

significantly higher than those of the CK treatment (39.9% and 36.9%), respectively, and 

the removal efficiency decreased in the order of Hydrilla verticillata&gt;Ceratophyllum 

demersum&gt;Vallisneria natans&gt;Myriophyllum spicatum&gt;Potamogeton maackianus. Total 

N and P removal efficiencies of different submerged macrophyte treatments were 

significantly correlated with net accumulated biomass, with correlation coefficients of 

0.994 (P&lt;0.01) and 0.996 (P&lt;0.01). The contribution of direct N and P uptake to 

different submerged macrophytes had the ranges of 1.5%-13.3% and 2.2%-13.2%, and the 

synergism contribution (deducting self-purification capacity of water) of different 

submerged macrophytes ranged 22.5%-29.9% and 10.1%-20.6%, indicating that the synergistic 

effect of submerged macrophytes purification was much more significant than the direct 

uptake effect in the process of water purification. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Land use change in river basin is one of the most significant factors that 

influence river water quality. Based on remote sensing images and river water quality 

data of Taizi River Basin, partial least squares (PLS) model was applied to explore the 

relationship between water quality and land use patterns at sub-watershed scale. In this 

study, PLS model was established by using the percentage of area of land use patterns 

from seven different sub-watersheds as the variables and the concentrations of four water 

quality parameters as the observations. The established model was further tested with the 

data from other sub-watersheds in Taizi River Basin. The results indicated that total 

nitrogen (TN) and nitrate (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>) were significantly associated with 

land use types in Taizi River Basin with determination coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) 

greater than 0.62. As for chloride (Cl<sup>-</sup>) and sulfate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>), measured values and fitted values had a relatively low fitting precision 

(R<sup>2</sup>&lt;0.5), which meant land use pattern was not the main factor affecting 

the concentrations of Cl<sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>in river water. 

Meanwhile, river water quality had a strong correlation with the percentage of area of 

unused land at the sub-basin scale (influence coefficient &gt;0.24), although unused land 

area in the Taizi river basin was small. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In the present study, human hair samples were collected in Chongqing to detect 

the concentrations of heavy metals including Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn by flame atomic 

absorption spectrophotometry. Meanwhile, the relationship between the content of heavy 

metals and age, gender and smoking habits was also analyzed, and the potential sources of 

the heavy metals in human hair were understood through correlation analysis and principal 

component analysis. The results showed that the mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and 

Zn were 3.1, 24.3, 9.7, 42.8 and 209.6 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively in urban 

areas, while the mean contents were 0.9, 15.8, 5.6, 15.2 and 173.4 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively in rural area. The residents living in urban areas exhibited 

significantly higher concentrations than those in rural area, revealing the same heavy 

metal pattern with that in soils (t-test, P&lt;0.01). No obvious trend was observed 

between the contents of heavy metals and age, except that the contents of Cu and Zn were 

increasing with the growth of age. Significantly higher concentrations of Cd and Pb were 

both observed in male hair and smokers than those in female and non-smokers, respectively 

in urban and rural areas (P&lt;0.01). Similar correlation patterns among Cd, Cu, Ni and 

Pb were found both in urban and rural areas. According to principal component analysis, 

Cu, Ni and Pb contaminations had similar sources in urban areas, whereas Cd, Ni and Pb 

had similar sources in rural area. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sludge retention time(SRT) is a crucial parameter to influence the stability of 

biological wastewater treatment systems. Especially, the effects of SRT on yeast-

wastewater treatment remain unclear. In this study, mixtures of yeast strains were 

applied to treat oil-containing wastewater in sequencing batch reactors(SBR) and the 

effects of sludge retention time(SRT as 5, 10, 20, 40 d) on the removal efficiency of 

pollutants, contents and composition of extracellular polymeric substances(EPS), yeast 

cells settleability and yeast communities were investigated. The results showed that the 

recommended SRT was 5-10 d for the yeast-SBR system; Higher SRT led to decrease of COD 

removal rate and content of EPS; the tightly-bounded EPS was the major one which 

consisted of polysaccharides. SRT of 5-40 d had no significant effects on the SVI of 

yeast cells, however, longer SRT (&gt;20 d) resulted in the increase of mycelial cells 

and a tendency to produce the filamentous bulking. In the continuous operation of SBR, 

three extraneous yeast strains capable of utilizing or degrading oil were identified in 

the systems under the short and long SRT. To conclude, shorter SRT was favorable for the 

system stability in treating oil-containing wastewater by yeasts. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To investigate the perennial effect of environment adjustment layers on the 

interior environment and nitrogen transformation in anaerobic bioreactor landfills, three 

sets of simulated anaerobic bioreactor landfills and two kinds of environment adjustment 

layers of mineralized refuse with heavy calcium carbonate (R2) and mineralized refuse 

with natural zeolites (R3) were designed and established. The degradation and 

transformation of nitrogen in waste and leachate had been monitored for 390 days. The 

results showed that, the value orders of pH, alkalinity, oxidation reduction potential 

and moisture content (MS) were pH(R2)&gt;pH(R3)&gt;pH(R1), alkalinity (R2)&gt;alkalinity 

(R3)&gt;alkalinity (R1), Eh(R2)&lt;Eh(R3)&lt;Eh(R1) and MS(R3)&gt;MS(R2)&gt;MS(R1). In 

R1, R2 and R3, the degradation rates of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate 

nitrogen in waste were 79.2%, 82.3% and 88.5%, 48.3%, 60.1% and 67.7%, 38.5%, 44.2% and

Abstract:Catalytic combustion is an efficient way to remove soot particulates from 

automobile exhausts. A series of rare earth pyrochlore oxides 

La<inf>2</inf>Sn<inf>1.8</inf>TM<inf>0.2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>(TM=Sn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu) were 

prepared with CTAB-assisted sol-gel method. The products were characterized by 

XRD,N<inf>2</inf>Adsorption-Desorption, SEM, FT-IR, H<inf>2</inf>-TPR and PL techniques. 

Their catalytic activity for soot oxidation was investigated by TPO under tight 

conditions in both O<inf>2</inf>and NO+O<inf>2</inf>atmospheres. After calcination at 

900&#8451;, the as-synthesized oxides with pure pyrochlore phase displayed nanospheres 

with diameter of 30-60 nm and relatively large surface areas. The partial substitution of 

Sn with transition metals largely influenced the reduction behavior of pyrochlores 

especially on the low temperature range in H<inf>2</inf>-TPR profiles, which was due to 

the interactions between Sn and transition metals. The improved oxygen mobility might be 

derived from the structure defects induced by transition metals doping, which could be 

helpful in oxidation reactions. In comparison with uncatalyzed reactions, the 

La<inf>2</inf>Sn<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>catalyst exhibited modest catalytic activity for 

soot combustion, while transition metals incorporation further enhanced the activity and 

selectivity. The improved activity of transition metals doped samples was likely to be 

associated with the improved reducibility and increased surface oxygen vacancies on the 

pyrochlore oxides. The presence of NO in the gas phase significantly enhanced the soot 

oxidation activity, which was due to the promotion effect of NO<inf>2</inf>. Especially, 

the densities of active oxygen sites and turnover frequency (TOF) values of the 

catalysts, quantified by isothermal anaerobic titration with soot as a probe molecule, 

were used to explain the different soot combustion behaviors. Among the pyrochlore 

oxides, the Co-doped pyrochlore sample displayed the highest ignition activity and the 

largest intrinsic activity with TOF of 3.20&times;10<sup>-3</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>. &copy;

Abstract:Simultaneous measurements of precursor gases 

NH<inf>3</inf>,NO,NO<inf>2</inf>,SO<inf>2</inf>and the main water-soluble ions in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>such as sulphate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>),nitrate 

(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>) and ammonium (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>) (collectively 

called SNA)were carried out in the urban area of Beijing during 2015-01 to 2015-12,which 

obtained 325 groups of samples. PTFE membrane filters were used to collect particulate 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

followed by the online instruments to collect precursor gases. The pollution 

characteristics of the precursor gases and SNA were analyzed and their correlation was 

studied. The mean concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>, NO, NO<inf>2</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>,NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>were 

21.5, 17.7, 54.3, 14.2, 8.1, 13.5 and 12.7 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>respectively during 

the period of monitoring, and SNA accounted for 43.4% of PM<inf>2.5</inf>. The 

concentrations of SO<inf>2</inf>,NO<inf>x</inf>and SNA declined compared to 2014. The 

concentrations of NO,NO<inf>2</inf>and SO<inf>2</inf>were highest in winter and lowest in 

summer. The concentration of NH<inf>3</inf>was higher in summer and lower in autumn; The 

concentration and the percentage of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were stable during the four 

seasons,both the concentrations and the percentage of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were 

lowest in summer. The concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>was highest in winter 

and the percentage was lowest in summer. The ratio of ([NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>]+2

[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>]) and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was 0.97 during the whole 

year, showing that anions mainly existed in the form of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>. In summer, the ratio of [NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>]+2

[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>] and [NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>] was slightly higher than 

1.0, which was the reason why NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>was bound to Ca<sup>2+</sup>, 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>and Na<sup>+</sup>besides NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>. With the increase of 

pollution, the mass concentration of precursor gases and SNA increased dramatically, 

among which NO<inf>x</inf>increased most rapidly, and SO<inf>2</inf>decreased from severe 

pollution to serious pollution. The contribution rate of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was 

maintained at a relatively stable level. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>had a higher 

contribution when the pollution level was lower, whereas the concentration of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>was higher than others and contributed most to 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>in heavy pollution. Heterogeneous transformation on the surface of 

particulate matter played a more important role in the formation of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2

-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>. The correlations between NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf>and NO,NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and 

NH<inf>3</inf>,SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and SO<inf>2</inf>were significant at the 

confidence level of 0.01. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>had negative correlation with 

SO<inf>2</inf>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>had positive correlation with 

NO<inf>2</inf>. Compared with NH<inf>3</inf>, the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>concentration 

was more obviously affected by acid gases NO<inf>2</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Ambient air was sampled and analyzed around a municipal solid waste incinerator 

(MSWI) in Beijing from April 2014 to January 2015 to investigate the concentrations, 

profiles and seasonal variations of PCDD/Fs in the region using HRGC-HRMS technique. The 

mass concentrations and TEQ of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/Fs in the air samples ranged from 

8.9 to 140 pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and from 0.11 to 1.8 pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

respectively. The concentration values at 4 sampling sites in haze day in autumn and all 

7 sampling sites in winter were higher than the ambient air standard of 0.6 

pg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>for dioxins regulated in Japan. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF and OCDD 

dominated PCDD/Fs in all the samples for all four seasons with average contribution 

fractions of 20.5% and 14.0%, respectively, while 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF was the dominant 

congener contributing to TEQ (43.3%). The spatial distribution basically exhibited a 

trend that the concentrations at all sites were comparable and not related to the 

distances from the source. Seasonal variation showed obviously higher concentration in 

winter than the other three seasons, which may attribute to the high concentration of 

ambient particulate matter due to domestic heating and worse atmospheric dispersion that 

occurred in winter. The homologue and congener profiles of PCDD/Fs in the air samples 

differed from those of the flue gas emission from the MSWI, consistent with the principle 

component analysis results. Dioxin inhalation exposure dose estimation showed that the 

dioxin inhalation exposure risk of residents living in the studied area was at a 

relatively safe level [0.060-0.224 pg&middot;(kg&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]. However, the 

dioxin inhalation exposure risk in heavily polluted seasons still needs great concerns.

Abstract:From May 2015 to June 2016, seasonal sediment samples were collected from three 

headwater streams in the urban-rural fringe of Hefei, Chaohu Lake basin, China. The 

nitrogen pollution characteristics of sediments were preliminarily investigated for the 

three streams. Three metrics, that is, potential nitrification rate (PNR), areal 

nitrification rate (ANR) and rate of denitrification were quantitatively determined, and 

their spatial and temporal variations were discussed subsequently. Moreover, the 

relationship between PNR, ANR or denitrification rate and a list of environmental factors 

was discriminated by using partial least-squares regression analysis. Results showed 

that: (1) Guanzhenhe Distributary was the most polluted stream with a mean content of 

4516.39 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for TN, which was 2.56 and 1.36 times higher than those 

of Modian Stream and Taochong Stream, respectively. Similarly, the highest values for 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N emerged in Guanzhenhe 

Distributary while the lowest existed in Modian Stream. (2) There were distinct seasonal 

variations in PNR and ANR, namely, the maximum values emerged in summer, minimum in 

winter, and almost equivalent in spring and autumn. And the arrangement in order for PNR 

and ANR was Taochong Stream&gt;Modian Stream&gt;Guanzhenhe Distributary. (3) The mean 

rate of denitrification in Guanzhenhe Distributary was 10.59 mg&middot;(kg&middot;h)

<sup>-1</sup>, which was 3.16 and 1.75 times higher than those in Modian Stream and 

Taochong Stream, respectively. In addition, both denitrification rate and denitrification 

activity in summer were higher than those in spring for the three streams. (4) According 

to the variable importance plot (F<inf>VIP</inf>), ANR, PNR and rate of denitrification 

were almost all significantly correlated with such physical and chemical factors as pH, 

OM, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, TN and TP in sediments 

for the three streams. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Elevated atmospheric CO<inf>2</inf>concentration and temperature may affect 

nitrifiers and denitrifiers which are related to soil N turnover. A climate change 

experiment was conducted in the rice-wheat rotation ecosystem. This study was used to 

investigate effects of elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature on soil microbial community 

structure, as well as abundance and activity of nitrifiers and denitrifiers. The results 

showed that no change in the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 

denitrifier was observed at the tillering stage, however at the later stages, elevated 

CO<inf>2</inf>alone significantly increased the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea 

(AOA) and denitrifier but there were no changes under CW treatment. The analysis of T-

RFLP profiles showed that elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature had no obvious effect on 

community structure of AOA, AOB or denitrifier, but altered diversity index (H') of AOA 

and denitrifier. Moreover, elevated CO<inf>2</inf>alone significantly increased 

nitrifying rate at the ripening stage. Elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature did not 

result in significant change in denitrifying rate at each single stage. These results 

suggested that effects of elevated CO<inf>2</inf>and temperature on microbial community 

were different among the tillering, heading and ripening stages, and functional 

microorganism responded differently to multiple climate change treatments. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:This study chose two months (January and July) in 2012 which represent winter 

and summer respectively, to assess the effects of fine particle (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) 

pollution elimination due to emission control from different sectors in the Bejing-

Tianjin-Hebei region by using CMAQ/2D-VBS modeling system. The results showed that, 

industrial emissions contributed most to PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution in the Beijing-

Tianjin-Hebei region, followed by domestic emissions, while the contribution of per ton 

emission reduced for industrial sectors subject to domestic sectors. The total 

contribution and contribution of per ton emission reduced for transportation and power 

plant were both at low level. Among industrial sectors, the iron, steel and metallurgical 

industry was the greatest contributor, followed by cement industry, industrial boiler, 

coking industry, lime and bricks industry and chemical industry. It was found that the 

contribution of each emission source had significant association with its primary 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>emission level. The control of NO<inf>x</inf>emissions would promote the 

formation of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and atmospheric vertical diffusion effect was weak during 

wintertime in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. As a result, emission control of various 

sectors was universally more effective for PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution mitigation in summer 

than in winter. Emission control in summer was significantly more effective for 

transportation, powerplant, cement industry, industrial boiler and lime and bricks 

industry. Due to considerable emissions in heating season, domestic emissions showed more 

contribution in winter. Agricultural sources showed greater contribution per emission 

reduction in winter by the reason of substantial emissions from straw open burning during 

this time. With respect to a certain reduction ratio of emission, future control 

strategies should pay more attention to industrial emissions, especially to the primary 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>emissions. In details, priorities should be given to NO<inf>x</inf>and 

SO<inf>2</inf>emission control for iron, steel and metallurgical industry, 

NO<inf>x</inf>emission control for cement industry and SO<inf>2</inf>and NMVOC emission 

control for coking industry. Besides, domestic emission control should also be taken into 

consideration, and it will be more effective in winter. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:In recent years, cyanide contamination problem is becoming more and more 

serious. Cyanides widely occur in the wastewater from metallurgical industry and 

electroplating industry. The efficiency for cyanides removal of conventional physical and 

chemical methods is not very satisfactory. Therefore, it is urgent to develop highly 

efficient and environmental friendly methods for the removal of cyanides. As an 

environmental-friendly oxidant, potassium persulfate is widely used in the treatment of 

organic pollutants. The destruction of Cu(CN)<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>was investigated by 

homogeneous K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>under alkaline conditions, and the 

reaction mechanism was analyzed. The effects of the amount of 

K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>and the ratio of Cu<sup>+</sup>/CN<sup>-</sup>on 

the degradation of CN<sup>-</sup>were studied. With the increase of 

K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>dose, the rate of CN<sup>-</sup>oxidation was 

accelerated. The removal efficiency of CN<sup>-</sup>reached 89.6% after 60 min of 

reaction in the presence of 2 mmol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>K<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>8</inf>. Oxidation of CN<sup>-</sup>was 

accelerated with Cu<sup>+</sup>/CN<sup>-</sup>increasing from 2.0 to 5.0. Cu<sup>

+</sup>was oxidized to Cu<sup>2+</sup>and copper oxide was formed during the reaction. 

The reactive radicals were analyzed using electron spin resonance and radical quenching 

experiments, and the results indicated that both radicals oxidation pathway and non-

radical oxidation pathway were responsible for the removal of Cu(CN)<inf>3</inf><sup>2-

Abstract:Pot experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of nano zeolite (NZ) 

and ordinary zeolite (OZ) on the growth, activities of antioxidant enzyme, Cd fraction 

and Cd concentration in two varieties of Chinese cabbage. The results showed that the 

activities of SOD, CAT and POD in the shoot and root of two varieties increased, and the 

dry weight of shoot and the total dry weight of Chinese cabbage increased by 4.5%-96.5% 

and 3.4%-88.4%, respectively. The application of zeolite effectively reduced the Cd 

concentration of shoot and root in the two varieties of Chinese cabbage, and the 

reduction range increased with the increase of the application amount of zeolite. Under 

the low Cd condition (1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd), the Cd concentration of edible 

parts (shoots) in SD4 variety and XJC3 variety decreased by 1.0%-75.0% and 19.5%-68.9% 

(except the Cd<inf>1</inf>+OZ<inf>5</inf>/OZ<inf>10</inf>processing), respectively. Under 

the high Cd condition (5 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd), the Cd concentration of the edible 

parts (shoots) in SD4 variety and XJC3 variety decreased by 7.2%-53.2% (except 

Cd<inf>5</inf>+OZ<inf>10</inf>processing) and 0.7%-63.0%, respectively. The Cd 

concentrations of the edible parts (shoots) in tow varieties of Chinese cabbage in the 

nano zeolite treatments decreased by 10.5%-65.7% compared with the ordinary zeolite 

treatments. In Cd contaminated soils (1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 5 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd),) the total extraction amount of Cd in the edible parts 

(shoots) of SD4 variety reduced by 12.4%-68.8% and 13.2%-55.6% (except of Cd<inf>5</inf>

+OZ<inf>5</inf>processing), and the total extraction amount of Cd in the edible parts 

(shoots) of XJC3 variety reduced by 9.4%-71.5% and 3.1%-38.7% (except of Cd<inf>1</inf>

+OZ<inf>5</inf>processing), respectively. The application amount of nano zeolite (NZ) and 

ordinary zeolite (OZ) was more, the reduction range of the total extraction amount of Cd 

in the edible parts (shoots) of two varieties of Chinese cabbage was greater. &copy;

Abstract:The biodegradation of gas-phase mixtrue of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and 1-

propanethiol (PT) was examined in a biotrickling filter (BTF), inoculated with a 

microbial consortium composed of activated sewage sludge, and pure strains of Alcaligenes 

sp. SY1 and Pseudomonas putida. S-1. BTF could be successfully started up within only 11 

days when the inlet concentrations of DMS and PT were both 50 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 

EBRT was 30 s, with 90% removal efficiency (RE) of DMS and 100% RE of PT. In the steady 

state, the maximum elimination capacities of DMS and PT were 8.7 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 12.4 g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. The presence of PT with a concentration up to 51 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>showed an antagonistic removal pattern for DMS, but the opposite 

did not occur. Meanwhile, the BTF showed high efficiency in the biodegradation of 

H<inf>2</inf>S. When the concentration of H<inf>2</inf>S was as high as 230 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the RE of H<inf>2</inf>S could reach 98%. However, 

H<inf>2</inf>S showed a declining effect on the removal of DMS when the concentration 

exceeded 115 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In current scenario, the soil pollution has become very severe and its effects 

on agricultural and ecological security issues cannot be ignored as various contaminants 

are discharged into soil. Thus, the soil pollution is exigent and has to be solved. This 

research took soil resistance(Rt), resilience (Rl) and stability (Sb) as evaluation 

indexes for judging soil quality by exerting different concentration (concentration 

ratio) gradient of pyrene (PYR), cadmium (Cd) and pyrene/cadmium (PYR/Cd) combined 

pollutants. A sympathetic description was showed from the aspects of microbial activity, 

diversity and abundance of soil ecosystem,and the models were constructed to describe the 

dose-response relationship between PYR-Sb and Cd-Rt. The research showed that different 

types of pollutants had certain inhibition on soil DOC content. In Cd and PYR simplex 

pollution, soil microbial mean biomass and colony number decreased with increasing 

concentration of pollutants. In PYR/Cd combined pollution, the ratio of PYR and Cd had a 

negative correlation with the decreasing rate of DOC and resistance, meanwhile Cd had a 

prominent influence on the above-mentioned correlations, in other words, the soil with 

higher concentration of Cd had lower DOC decrease rate and resistance, and Cd would have 

dominant inhibition effect on microorganisms under PYR/Cd combined pollution. In 

addition, this study found the significant correlation of c<inf>PYR</inf>-Sb and 

c<inf>Cd</inf>-Rt, and built the binomial forecasting model to describe the dose-response 

relationship of c<inf>PYR</inf>-Sb and c<inf>Cd</inf>-Rt. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:BTEX concentrations were determined by GC5000 online gas chromatography in the 

atmosphere of the north suburb of Nanjing in March 2013 to February 2014, using the EPA 

human exposure analysis evaluation method for benzene series compounds of volatile 

organic compounds (VOCs) in health risk assessment. The results showed that the total 

amount of BTEX showed the variation characteristics of 

spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn&gt;summer. BTEX concentration was higher in the periods of 

07:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00, and the lowest was detected between 13:00-15:00; At the 

weekend, the concentration of BTEX was higher than on the working day. The sources of 

BTEX included traffic sources, industrial sources and solvent evaporation. The HQ of BTEX 

in all four seasons showed the order of benzene&gt;xylene&gt;ethylbenzene&gt;toluene, and 

the HQ risk values were within the safety range in all analysis periods. The distribution 

of R value was winter&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;summer, and R was higher than the safety 

threshold for all the analyses, indicating the existence of carcinogenic risk. &copy;

Abstract:Morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG) is the basis for a simple way of 

distinguishing the phytoplankon to cluster species according to their similar 

morphological traits observed by optical microscope. In order to understand the 

application of morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG) in the research on 

phytoplankton community structure and variation of deep-water reservoir, as well as the 

succession characteristics of algae, the Jinpen Reservoir was studied from August 2011 to 

July 2013. Using morphologically-based functional groups (MBFG), the phytoplankton 

communities found in the reservoir were classified to functional groups, and the 

relations between the morphologically-based functional groups succession and environment 

cases were explored with redundancy analysis (RDA) method. The results suggested that 

five morphologically-based functional groups were found in the reservoir, namely 

II,IV,V,VI,VII; The succession of reservoir algal functional groups had seasonal 

characteristics, a variety of Morphologically-based functional groups coexisted in spring 

and summer,while reservoir algal functional groups were relatively simple in autumn and 

winter; meanwhile, the density of each morphologically-based functional group decreased 

with the increase of water depth among the environmental factors, morphologically-based 

functional groups IV and VI were respectively affected by temperature; the other water 

layers of the reservoir morphologically-based functional groups VI was significantly 

affected by TN content. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Sorption of p-nitrophenol (PNP) on biochars prepared from pyrolysis of corncob 

in the temperature range of 200-600&#8451; (CC200-CC600) was investigated. Sorption 

mechanisms were discussed. Pyrolysis temperature showed a pronounced effect on properties 

of biochars. Decreases in molar H/C, O/C and (O+N)/C ratios were resulted from removal of 

H- and O-containing functional groups with increasing pyrolysis temperature, and produced 

biochars with low polarity and high aromaticity. The isotherms data were well described 

by the Freundlich model. Batch sorption experiments showed that the PNP sorption was 

strongly dependent on the properties of biochars. A linear relationship was observed 

between sorption parameters (n and K<inf>F</inf>) and properties of biochars such as 

molar elemental ratios [H/C, O/C, and (O+N)/C]. The sorption and partition fractions were 

quantified by isotherm separation method. PNP sorption on biochar produced at 200&#8451; 

was linear due to partition on uncarbonized organic matter in biochar, while PNP sorption 

on biochars produced at 300-600&#8451; was nonlinear and adsorption-dominant for all the 

biochars via &pi;-&pi; electron donor-acceptor interaction and pore-filling. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:To identify the compositions and sources of dicarboxylic acids and related SOA 

in Mt. Taishan, PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from July to August, 2004, and 

analyzed for dicarboxylic acids and related compounds, the tracers of biogenic secondary 

organic aerosol (SOA) (Isopene, &alpha;-/&beta;-Pinene and &beta;-caryophyllene SOA 

tracers), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and inorganic ions. The results showed that 

total dicarboxylic acids were (376&plusmn;189) ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 

C<inf>2</inf>was the most abundant dicarboxylic acid, followed by C<inf>3</inf>, 

C<inf>4</inf>and C<inf>9</inf>. The concentrations of diacids were more abundant than 

those in marine regions, but lower than those in urban and other mountainous areas, 

indicating that the atmosphere in Mt. Taishan was less influenced by anthropogenic 

pollution. C<inf>2</inf>/C<inf>4</inf>, C<inf>3</inf>/C<inf>4</inf>and F/M ratios 

indicated that diacids were mostly produced by more intensive photochemical oxidation. 

The relative abundance of C<inf>9</inf>to the total diacids, 

C<inf>9</inf>/C<inf>6</inf>and C<inf>9</inf>/Ph ratios were higher than those in urban, 

marine and mountainous regions, further suggesting that SOA in Mt. Taishan atmosphere 

were mostly derived from biogenic sources rather than anthropogenic sources. Compared to 

the budgets of model and correlation analysis, it suggested that diacids and related SOA 

in Mt. Taishan were mostly derived from photochemical oxidation of local biogenic

Abstract:The use of biological pesticide can greatly reduce the soil pollution in the 

environment. Exploring the effect of biological pesticide on community diversity and 

distribution of pathogenic bacteria will provide theoretic basis for subsequent 

researches on biological pesticide micro-ecological control. In order to explore the 

microbial ecological mechanism of pepper phytophthora blight, this research compared the 

difference of microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy 

plants, and the effects of Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 on microbial diversities of 

plant rhizosphere soil were investigated using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology. The 

results showed that there was less difference in the microbial diversity from the same 

soil between the seventh day and the fourteenth day. The microbial diversity of 

rhizosphere soil of healthy plants was higher than that of rhizosphere soil of infected 

plants. The soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 exhibited the highest 

diversity. Moreover, the abundance of Actinomycetes in the rhizosphere soil of healthy 

plants was higher than that of infected plants, and the highest abundance of 

Actinomycetes was observed in the soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06. The 

microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy plants was 

significantly different. Spraying Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 could significantly 

alter the microbial community structure of the soil. It could also increase the diversity 

of microorganism and the abundance of Actinomycetes in the soil. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Based on hourly concentration data from six state-controlled air quality 

monitoring stations in urban area of Changzhou from December 2014 to November 2015, the 

seasonal variation of PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution was analyzed, and the contributions of 

PM<inf>10</inf>, four kinds of gaseous pollutants and seven meteorological factors to 

daily changes of &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) were quantified by boosted regression tree 

(BRT). The results showed that: the seasonal differences of PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution 

were significant, the pollution was serious in winter and the pollution duration was 

long, while the pollution was light in summer. The spatial distribution of &rho;

(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) in four seasons was different, but the six monitoring stations showed 

similar trends in each season. Daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) was simulated and 

verified by BRT. The correlation coefficient of the training data was 0.981, and the 

cross-validation correlation coefficient was 0.957. In addition, the mean deviation 

between the simulated values and the measured values was 1.80%, and the standardized mean 

error was 10.41%, which showed that the model fitted well. The contribution percentages 

of four kinds of impact types (PM<inf>10</inf>, gaseous pollutants, meteorological 

factors and regional transport and diffusion) to daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) 

changes of four seasons were 23.4%, 28%, 36.2% and 12.6%, respectively. So, the most 

significant affecting factor was meteorological condition, followed by secondary 

formation, primary emission, and regional transport and diffusion. In the factors with 

contribution percentages of more than 5%, the daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) was 

positively associated with PM<inf>10</inf>, relative humidity, CO and O<inf>3</inf>, and 

was negatively correlated with temperature, SO<inf>2</inf>and mixed layer high. In 

addition, the daily average &rho;(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) had complex relationships with 

atmospheric pressure and NO<inf>2</inf>. For regional transport and diffusion, the 

polluted air flow from southeast, west and north had a relatively great negative impact 

on PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution of urban area in Changzhou. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:A completely mixed aeration system was introduced in domestic sewage treatment, 

and the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification process and microbial community 

structure were further investigated. The pilot-scale experimental results showed that the 

operation of the system was stable and the average chemical oxygen demand (COD), 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and total nitrogen (TN) removal were 93.2%, 96.9% and 75.2%, 

respectively. The effluent COD, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and TN were better than the 

standard of level A stipulated by Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal 

Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002) in the absence of external carbon source. The 

sludge derived from the system showed a significant denitrification capacity and the 

denitrification rate was 2.86 times higher than that in the wastewater treatment plant. 

In addition, the existence of aerobic denitrifying bacteria in the system was confirmed 

by the PCR amplification of genes encoding perplasmic nitrate reductases. The high-

throughput sequencing results revealed that Zoogloea, Thauera and Dechloromonas were 

dominant in the completely mixed aeration system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Understanding of diurnal variation of soil porewater dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration plays an important role in revealing carbon cycling in 

estuarine wetlands. During neap and spring tidal days in April and September 2010, the 

diurnal variations of soil porewater dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentrations and main impacting factors in a brackish marsh ecosystem 

dominated by two species of Cyperus malaccensis (brevifolius) and Phragmites australis 

(common reed) were determined in the ShanYutan in the Min River estuary, southeast China. 

The results showed that: &#9312; the soil porewater dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration 

during the spring and neap tidal days in April and September ranged from 88.20 to 190.74, 

53.42 to 141.24, 16.27 to 81.89 and 44.90 to 88.53 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The mean of dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher at nighttime 

than at daytime during the spring and neap tidal days in April, but the mean of dissolved 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher at daytime than at nighttime during the spring and 

neap tidal tidal days in September. &#9313; the soil porewater dissolved 

CO<inf>2</inf>concentration during the spring and neap tidal days in September ranged 

from 19.33 to 40.1 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 9.69 to 29.96 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, and the dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>concentration during daytime was 

lower than that at night; &#9314; the mean of dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>concentration was 

lower during the inundation period than in the exposed soil surface period, but the mean 

of dissolved CH<inf>4</inf>concentration was higher during the inundation period than in 

the exposed soil surface period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Eukaryotic phytoplankton plays an important ecological function in river 

ecosystem. The 18S rRNA gene V4 variable region of the environmental samples in Liaohe 

river was sequenced by using 454 pyrosequencing technology. The reprehensive sequences of 

OTUs were annotated, and then the OTUs list was compared to the species list obtained by 

microscope observation. The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the reprehensive 

sequences of OTUs and 18S rRNA genes of eukaryotic phytoplankton algae obtained from 

GenBank. The community structure characteristics of eukaryotic phytoplankton and its 

environmental impact indicators were further studied. In this study, we got 167 901 

high-quality sequences of 18S rRNA gene V4 region. These sequences were annotated to 424 

OTUs, including 134 eukaryotic algae. The results of the high-throughput sequencing 

showed that bacillariophyta and chlorophyta were the dominant groups of the total phyla. 

The high-throughput sequencing also revealed the presence of Charophyta, Cryptophyta, 

Haptophyta and Chrysophyceae which were not observed by optical microscope. The phylogeny 

analysis clustered the Cryptophyta and Pyrroptata at phylum level. The different genera 

of Cryptophyta and part of families or genera of Pyrroptata were clustered and 

distinguished by phylogeny analysis. The results of RDA showed that NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N, PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3</sup>-P and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were the most 

important environmental factors that affected the community structure. This study 

provided a new perspective to understand the diversity, community structure and influence 

factors of eukaryotic phytoplankton in Liaohe river. The study also indicated that high-

throughput sequencing has great application potential in investigation of phytoplankton 

and the water environment quality assessment in Liaohe river. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Landfills are the third largest iron reservoir and one of the largest sources of 

methane release. Iron, as a kind of transition metal, plays a particularly important role 

in environmental biogeochemistry and is closely linked to the biogeochemical cycle of C, 

S and N. The aged refuse could be utilized as bio-cover material to improve the removal 

of contaminants. Therefore, this work investigated the effect of iron reduction on 

anaerobic removal of methane, and the interactions of ferric iron with nitrate and 

sulfate in the aged refuse. The columns were operated as landfill bio-covers and 

recirculated leachate with addition of FeCl<inf>3</inf>solution. In the experiment, three 

columns were used, two of them were used as controls (named as B1 and B3), B1 was fed 

with leachate and CH<inf>4</inf>, whereas B3 was only recirculated with leachate adding 

FeCl<inf>3</inf>. The treatment B2 was fed with the above two substrates. During the 

operation of columns, the contents of CH<inf>4</inf>, CO<inf>2</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>in 

the gas, and the concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, Fe(III) and Fe(II) in 

the leachate and refuse were respectively determined. The results showed that adding 

ferric iron obviously enhanced the removal of methane in anaerobic aged refuse, the 

decrease of methane content with time obeyed zero-order kinetic, and the rate of methane 

removal(denoted as CH<inf>4</inf>/aged refuse)reached 1.28 mmol&middot;(kg&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>. In the anaerobic condition, methane could improve the reduction of Fe(III) 

to dissolved, active and bioavailable Fe(II). The active Fe(II) probably coupled to the 

transformation of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, and thus 

accelerated the removal of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>.

Abstract:Mangrove wetland plays an important role in coastal environment. A total of 10 

surface water samples and 7 surface sediments samples were collected in March, 2015 from 

Nansha mangrove wetland, and 8 compounds of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were 

determined by GC-ECD to investigate residues level, source, and ecological risk of these 

compounds in the study region. The result showed concentrations of OCPs in water ranged 

from 1.89 to 90.19 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(mean 30.16 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), and 

concentrations of OCPs in sediments varied from 3.10 to 16.02 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>

(average 8.58 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). Compared with other estuaries and harbors around 

the world, concentrations of OCPs in this study stayed at a median pollution level. The 

mean values of distribution coefficient of HCHs and DDTs between water and sediments were 

857 and 368, respectively. Sediments in some parts of the area, whose distribution 

coefficient was relatively high, may bring water the secondary pollution. Source analysis 

indicated that HCHs mainly originated from the application of Lindane, and DDTs 

originated from mixed sources of dicofol and technical DDT. Compared with OCPs in water, 

OCPs in sediments might contain more historical residual components. OCPs in water had 

light ecological risk, but OCPs in sediments posed a potential high risk to mangrove 

ecosystem. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

ordinary zeolite dose(5, 10 and 20 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) increased the soil pH and 

cation exchange capacity, and decreased the concentration of soil exchangeable Cd, while 

increased the concentration of Cd in carbonate, Fe-Mn oxide, organic matter and residual 

fraction. The lowest EX-Cd was observed in the high nano zeolite (20 g&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>) treatment. The soil pH and cation exchange capacity was extremely negatively 

correlated with the concentration of soil exchangeable Cd(P&lt;0.01), and extremely 

positively correlated with the concentration of soil Fe-Mn oxide Cd(P&lt;0.01). The 

results of pot experiment showed that the FDC of exchangeable Cd in soil decreased by 

6.4%-63.2%, and the FDC of water-extractable and ethnol-extractable Cd in Chinese cabbage 

decreased by 2.1%-56% and 11.8%-100% with zeolite application, respectively. Moreover, 

the reduction effect of nano zeolite on Cd concentration in soil and plant was better 

than that of ordinary zeolite. The FDC of Cd fraction in shoot of Chinese cabbage showed 

correlation with the FDC of carbonate Cd and organic matter Cd in soil(P&lt;0.05) when 

exposed to 1 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd pollution. Moreover, correlation was also found 

in the FDC of organic matter Cd and residual Cd in soil(P&lt;0.05) under 5 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Cd pollution. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Identifying nitrate sources and its transformation mechanisms are important for 

nitrate pollution control in surface water. The columnar core sediment samples in West 

Lake were taken in different seasons. The transformation of nitrogen at the sediment-

water interface was studied using nitrogen and oxygen isotopes, stable isotope analysis 

in R (SIAR) and acetylene inhibition method in the West Lake, Hangzhou. The results 

showed that the concentration gradient of both NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>existed at the sediment-water interface. NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>concentrations decreased from bottom water to pore water and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>was accumulated in sediments. NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>concentrations increased 

from bottom water to pore water and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was released from 

sediments. Nitrate sources in bottom water where nitrification exited were sewage 

(manure), soil nitrogen, chemical fertilizer and precipitation. Sewage (manure) was the 

major nitrogen contributor (60.8%) in summer. Particularly high &delta;<sup>15</sup>N 

values in pore water indicated that there was strong denitrification at the sediment-

water interface in West Lake. The average nitrification rate and denitrification rate at 

the sediment-water interface were 2.85 mmol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>and 23.51 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

sediment-water interface played a role in nitrogen removal process in aquatic 

environment. Seasonal and spatial variations of nitrification rates and denitrification 

rates were found in this study. Temperature and dissolved oxygen were the main 

influential factors for the transformation of nitrogen at the sediment-water interface in 

West Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to explore the distribution characteristics and change rule in daytime 

of the water temperature and water quality of the deep plateau lake Fuxian Lake during 

the thermal stratification period in summer, a typical point location was selected 

respectively in the south, middle and north of Fuxian Lake in July 2014 to carry out 

investigation and observation after stratified sampling at each point location and 

continuous stratified sampling of the point location in the north during daytime. The 

result showed that &#9312;The distribution of water temperature of Fuxian Lake in summer 

had the temperature distribution characteristics of deep lake during stratification 

period. The segment from the surface to a depth of 15 meters was epilimnion with a range 

of 25.51-22.81&#8451;. The segment from the depth of 15m to 40m was thermocline with a 

range of 22.81-14.72&#8451;. The segment below 40m was hypolimnion with a range of 14.72

-13.70&#8451;. The max temperature difference between the surface and the lakebed was 

11.8&#8451;, which was smaller than that of lakes in temperate zone during the same 

period. The temperature of the lakebed was about 14&#8451; which was higher than that of 

the lakes in temperate zone,which reflected the characteristics of water temperature 

stratification of the deep plateau lake Fuxian Lake; &#9313; The water temperature 

stratification determined the characteristics of chemical stratification and the 

ecological stratification: the pH, DO and conductivity presented the same layered 

structure as the distribution of water temperature. What is noteworthy was that the DO 

concentration of the lakebed was as low as 2-3mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. As an 

oligotrophic lake, the DO became lower and lower at the lakebed of Fuxian Lake, which 

indicated that it possibly faced ecological risks. Due to the separation of thermocline, 

the nutritive salt accumulative effect appeared in the hypolimnion. Chlorophyll a and 

permanganate index had a corresponding response relation with the water temperature 

stratification and showed the max value at the upper layer of the lake. &#9314; During 

the thermal stratification period, the water temperature stratification of Fuxian Lake 

had a change during daytime. The increased thermal radiation in the noon caused the 

thermocline to dive, the strength to increase and the depth to narrow, which 

significantly influenced the dynamic distribution of pH, DO, conductivity and chlorophyll 

a of the epilimnion and the thermocline. The change rule of TP, TN and permanganate index 

during the daytime was not significant. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Carbon nitride is a novel nonmetal semiconductor photocatalyst, which has 

developed into an ideal environmental treatment material in recent years. Graphite carbon 

nitride(g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>) was prepared through pyrolysis melamine, and the 

structure, morphology and optical properties of samples were characterized by X-ray 

diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance 

spectra(UV-Vis DRS). The potential application of g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>in the 

simultaneous photocatalysis reduction of Cr(VI) and oxidation of sulfosalicylic acid(SSA) 

was further explored. And the effects of different conditions such as catalyst dosage, pH 

and initial concentration ratio of Cr(VI) with SSA on the simultaneous photocatalysis 

were also investigated. The results showed that when the catalyst dosage was 0.5 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, pH=2, the initial concentration ratio of Cr (VI) and SSA was 

1&#8758;4(10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>&#8758;40 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), optimal 

simultaneous photocatalysis efficiency was achieved, which was more than 3 times higher 

than that of the separated photoreduction or photooxidation reactions. Within 3 hours, 

the reduction ratio of Cr(VI) and oxidation ratio of SSA could reach 98.9% and 93.4%, 

respectively. The mechanism of simultaneous photocatalysis was discussed. Cr(VI) was 

reduced by electrons and SSA was oxidized by the combined function of hole,

Planctomycetes and Proteobacteria increased from 1.1%, 27.9% in the enrichment stage to 

26.4%, 39.9% in the stable operation stage respectively. In addition, Planctomycetes 

increased significantly. The proportion of Brocadiacea reached 24.57%. Therefore, 

Brocadiacea became the dominant bacteria in the phylum Planctomycete, which contained 

Candidatus brocadia. The alpha diversity index and relative abundance of clustering 

figure indicated that the diversity of microbial community decreased gradually and the 

structure of microbial community changed obviously. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:This study was aimed to explore the bacterial diversity of cellar water as well 

as to study the relationship between the bacterial diversity and environmental factors. 

The MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze and compare the bacterial 

diversity and community composition of samples from different cellar water samples. 

Overall 1 605 optimized reads were obtained from four samples based on high-throughput 

sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Bacterial species detected in these 

samples covered 22 phyla, 42 classes, 71 orders, 115 families, 146 genera. Analysis 

showed that the bacterial diversity was very high in these samples, and there were 

differences among different samples. The distribution characteristics of the dominant 

bacteria showed patterns of a large number of rare species and a few common types. 

Taxonomic assignment analysis indicated that Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, 

Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, OD1 dominated in the Cellar water, and accounted for 

87.1% to 94.8% at phylum level. The predominant groups were Actinobacteria, 

Acidimicrobiia, Cytophagia, Flavobacteriia, Sphingobacteriia, &alpha;-Proteobacteria, 

&beta;-Proteobacteria, &gamma;-Proteobacteria, Opitutae, Verrucomicrobiae, Pedosphaerae 

and ZB2 at class level. At genus level Rhodobacter, Dechloromonas, Flavobacterium, 

Acinetobacter, Comamonas, Pseudomonas, Hydrogenophaga, et al were the abundant taxa, 

which were mainly denitrifying bacteria and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic 

denitrification bacteria. The result of RDA suggested that the influences of different 

environmental factors on different microbes were different. Bacterial community II had 

significant positive correlation with UV<inf>254</inf>, permanganate index, 

BOD<inf>5</inf>, and Bacterial community III had significant positive correlation with 

TN, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, TP, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N. This research should deepen the understanding on microbial community in Cellar 

water, and provide references for the association of bacterial composition and diversity 

with environmental factors. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Farmland soils in sewage irrigation area at Longkou City were collected, soil pH 

together with the heavy metal content were tested. Taking 70 soil points as the study 

object, this paper investigated the source of heavy metals in this area based on the 

correlation analysis and PCA of multivariate statistical analysis theory. We studied the 

spatial variation and distribution characteristics about heavy metals using both the 

theory of geostatistics and GIS spatial interpolation method. At last, the heavy metal 

pollution was evaluated in the way of Nemerow Index and improved fuzzy evaluation method. 

It turned out that, 9 kinds of heavy metal elements in the soil of research area had a 

certain degree of enrichment, among them the average of Cd was 3.06 times as high as the 

background value, and its enrichment was most severe. The result of Nemerow Index showed 

that, the values of comprehensive pollution index of Cu, Cd and Pb respectively were 

7.06, 6.10 and 5.54, and they all belonged to high levels of pollution. According to the 

results of correlation analysis and principal component analysis, Cu, Zn together with 

Pb, Cd were mainly affected by human factors, sewage irrigation was their common 

pollution factor, the pollution sources for the first two heavy metals included excessive 

use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural production and the 

accumulation of long time, whereas pollution from northern coal mining and coal gangue 

piled up as well as plating, machinery manufacturing and other industrial pollution were 

the pollution sources of the latter two elements. Other elements (Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and As) 

were mainly influenced by natural factors such as parent material. Comprehensive 

evaluation results showed that, among the 70 points, 13 points had moderate pollution, 23 

points belonged to light pollution, 28 points were at alert level, 6 points were in the 

safe range. From the perspective of spatial distribution, high value areas of heavy metal 

contents were mainly concentrated in towns of Zhuyouguan and Xufu. This showed that, 

sewage irrigation caused a certain degree of heavy metal pollution to local soil. &copy;

Abstract:Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is widely used in industrial production because of 

its strong chemical stabilities and good hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. It was 

considered to be a widespread persistent organic pollutant in environment in recent 

years. The oxidative stress and membrane damage of Escherichia coli exposed to PFOA were 

measured by flow cytometry (FCM) and the toxic mechanism of PFOA was also preliminarily 

explored. The results showed that, under the stress of PFOA, the intracellular reactive 

oxygen species (ROS) content of E. coli increased, the unsaturation degree of fatty acid 

decreased, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased, the membrane permeability 

increased, the membrane potential decreased, and the activities of Na<sup>+</sup>K<sup>

+</sup>-ATPase and Ca<sup>2+</sup>Mg<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase showed a compensatory increase 

first and then decreased. Therefore, owing to the stress of PFOA, the higher 

intracellular ROS in E. coli reacted with membrane unsaturated fatty acids by 

peroxidation, and then reduced cell membrane fatty acid saturation, accumulated MDA in 

cells, and further caused damage to cell membrane, reduced the ATPase activity, and 

eventually resulted in inactivation or apoptosis of E. coli. This study provided more 

evidence for the further study on environmental ecological toxicology of PFOA. &copy;

Abstract:Sulfur/dolomite and pyrite/dolomite autotrophic denitrification reactors were 

applied to treat the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plant to explore the 

removal effect, the changes of microbial community, and recovery time of reactors after 

starvation period. It was shown in the results that after 30 d non-water starvation 

endurance, the effluent concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in sulfur/dolomite 

and pyrite/dolomite reactors increased from 1.78 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 11.32 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 27.87 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 26.56 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>respectively at the low temperature of 12-14&#8451;. In addition, sulfur/dolomite 

and pyrite/dolomite reactors recovered within 5 d and 11 d since restarted and could 

maintain a good effect of nitrogen removal at low temperature. MiSeq high throughput 

sequencing results showed that the abundance and diversity of the bacterial communities 

in starvation period in both reactors were lower than those in recovery period. The 

dominating phylum was Proteobacteria in both reactors while the dominating class was 

&beta;-Proteobacteria. Thiobacillus was identified as the main genus for denitrification 

in sulfur/dolomite reactor. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To explore the effects of different iron minerals on soil arsenic 

bioaccessibility, ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite were used in PBET, SBRC and IVG 

in-vitro experiments in this study. The relationship between arsenic bioavailability in 

gastric, small intestinal phases and arsenic speciation was also studied. The results 

showed that when 1% ferrihydrite was added, arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase was 

2.22%, 5.11% and 7.43% by PBET, SBRC and IVG methods, respectively, while in the small 

intestinal phase it was 3.39%, 2.33% and 6.18%. At an elevated ferrihydrite dosage of 2%, 

significant difference in arsenic bioavailability was observed in both phases 

(P&lt;0.05). According to in vitro experiments, the addition of the same amount of 

different iron minerals had contributed to the decrease in arsenic bioavailability to 

varying extents in contrast with the blank group, in the descending order of ferrihydrite 

(F1)&gt;goethite (G1)&gt;hematite (H1) (F2&gt;G2&gt;H2). Total arsenic in exchangeable 

(F1) and specifically sorbed (F2) state was found positively correlated with arsenic 

bioavailability in gastric phase by PBET, SBRC and IVG methods, the correlation 

coefficient of which being r=0.93, P=0.002, r=0.90, P=0.004 and r=0.89, P=0.006, 

respectively. It was also found that arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase was 

positively correlated with total arsenic in F1 and F2 states by PBET (r=0.94, P=0.001) 

and IVG (r=0.87, P=0.009) methods, but no significant correlation was observed by SBRC 

method. Additionally, three in vitro experiments showed that amorphous iron bound arsenic 

had significant negative correlation with arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase and 

small intestinal phase, except that no correlation was found in small intestinal phase by 

SBRC method. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Formation characteristics and transferring feature of nitrogenous/carbonaceous 

disinfection by-products have been observed under different ozone dosages and pH 

conditions, and essential nature conversion of Algae organic matters has been also 

studied concurrently, based on high algae-laden water. The results showed as follows: 

reduction of Microcystis aeruginosa could reach 36% at the ozonation concentration of 

28.92 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Humic acid-like compounds first increased and then 

decreased with continuing addition of ozone dosage, whereas soluble microbial products, 

fulvic acids and aromatic protein substance all diminished. Low dosage of ozone had 

certain effect on control of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) and trichloroacetonitrile (TCAN) 

formation potential, yet augmented the yield of trichloronitromethane (TCNM) and 1,1,1-

trichloroacetone (1,1,1-TCP) precursors, and N-DBPs formation potential was promoted with 

the increase of ozone dosage. Algae removal efficiency was relatively the best under the 

acidic condition, meanwhile, UV<inf>254</inf>and DOC increased with the rise of pH, 

though the change was not outstanding. Humic acid-like compounds decreased with the rise 

of pH; ozonation could degrade the soluble microbial products and the consequence was 

affected little by the change of pH. DCAN and TCAN formation potential decreased with the 

rise of pH; TCNM formation potential appeared to be the highest when the pH was 10, 

whereas the highest 1,1,1-TCP formation potential was found at pH 7. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To address the problem of low activity for Fe-based Fenton-like catalysts at 

neutral pH, Cu-Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>Fenton-like catalyst was prepared by a simple 

co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction 

(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra 

(UV-vis DRS). The results showed that both Cu<sup>2+</sup>and Cu<sup>+</sup>mainly 

existed in the bulk framework of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>for Cu-

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>with appropriate Cu doping (lower than 4.77% Cu), forming the 

bond of Al-O-Cu, while excessive Cu doping in Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>(e.g. 7.58% Cu) 

could result in the occurrence of extraframework Cu species. The Fenton-like catalytic 

performance of the prepared samples was evaluated by the degradation of 2-chlorophenol 

(2-CP) and Rhodamine B (RhB). The results showed that the catalyst with framework Cu 

species had high catalytic activity and stability for the degradation of 2-CP and RhB. 

After reaction for 2 h, the degradation rate of 2-CP reached up to 54% over Cu-

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>(4.77% Cu) in the presence of H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>, the 

corresponding TOC removal reached 49%, and the Cu release concentration was only 0.0255 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. However, the existence of extraframework Cu in 

Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>would lead to the reduction of the catalytic performance. ESR 

analysis showed that &middot;OH and HO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>/O<inf>2</inf><sup>-

Abstract:This study aimed to understand how the physicochemical properties of silver 

nanoparticles (AgNPs) affected its toxicity in the aquatic environment. The morphologies 

of oleylamine-coated AgNPs (4 nm) under environmental and laboratory water conditions 

were studied under transmission electron microscopy, and the results showed oleylamine-

coated AgNPs formed big aggregates in the environmental water samples after 12 h 

equilibration. Dynamic light scattering results also showed that oleylamine-coated AgNPs 

had larger hydrodynamic size in all water samples as compared to its primary size (4 nm). 

Exposure to oleylamine-coated AgNPs inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis (B. 

subtilis) and reduced its cell viability in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth and 0.85% NaCl, 

respectively. A dose-dependent toxicity of AgNPs in B. subtilis was observed in 

laboratorial medium conditions but not in environmental water condition. Low 

concentration of AgNPs exhibited lower toxicity in environmental water samples as 

compared to that in laboratorial medium conditions. Separating AgNPs from bacterial 

suspension through a dialysis membrane enhanced the cell viability of B. subtilis 

significantly. In the environmental water samples, the AgNPs-bacteria interaction would 

be reduced with the formation of big aggregates by AgNPs, which consequently decreased 

its toxicity in aquatic environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is considered a source of 

airborne human pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes. This study collected fecal 

samples and corresponding air samples from inside and outside atmospheric environments of 

layer and broiler feeding operations. We detected the types of 61 genes including five 

classes of antibiotics antibiotic resistance genes (23 genes of ampicillin, 23 genes of 

tetracycline, 5 genes of quinolones, 5 genes of sulfonamides and 2 genes of 

erythromycin), five conditional pathogenic bacteria (Enterococcus, Escherichia coli, 

Staphylococcus, Campylobacter and Clostridium perfringens) and class1 integron. 

Quantitative real time PCR was used to analyze concentrations of typical genes with 

relatively high detection rates. The results indicated that the detection rates of 

antibiotic resistance genes were 8, 7, 2, 3 and 2. At the same time, two kinds of 

pathogenic bacteria were detected. The detection rates of the target genes in the air 

were lower than those of the fecal sample. The total bacterial gene (16S rDNA) 

concentration in the air of layer and broiler was 10<sup>6</sup>copies&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, and that of the other typical genes was about 

10<sup>4</sup>copies&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. And the outdoor concentration was much lower 

than the indoor concentration. The proportions of antibiotic resistance genes and 

conditional pathogenic bacteria in the air were higher than those in the fecal samples 

and the outdoor proportions were lower than the indoor proportions. Preliminary results 

of this study indicated that feces was an important source of antibiotic resistance 

genes, conditional pathogenic bacteria and class1 integron. Aerosolization degrees of 

genes in feces were different. This study will provide the basic data for both source 

tracking of antibiotic resistance genes and pathogens from CAFOs and risk assessment of 

pollution of CAFOs in the surrounding air environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

group; with release rate below 0.02 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Root weight density, root 

length density, root surface area density were major factors, which increased the 

proportion of particles in sediment with diameter of below 50 &mu;m, therefore decreased 

sediment resuspension against hydraulic disturbance; the root system also enriched total 

nitrogen in sediment and absorbed phosphorus from sediment. These five kinds of plants in 

terrestrial-aquatic transverse actually repressed nitrogen and phosphorus release from 

sediment in two ways mentioned above, Paspalum distichum L. and Iris pseudacorus L. 

possessed the best effect due to their developed root system, followed by Leersia 

hexandra Swartz and Hydrocotyle vulgaris, and Ludwigia peploides had the least effect.

Abstract:Long period start-up is one of the main restraining factors of the single-stage 

completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process. This study 

investigated the fast start-up of the CANON process initiated by a submerged biological 

aerated filter (SBAF) method. With conventional activated sludge from the secondary 

sedimentation tank of municipal waste water treatment plants as the seed sludge, the 

CANON process was successfully started up after the acclimation of sludge microorganisms 

for 48 days under the experimental conditions of (30&plusmn;2)&#8451;,organic carbon free 

and controlled dissolved oxygen(stage I: 0.3-0.5mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; stage II-IV: 

0.1-0.2mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), with the maximum removal rates of ammonia nitrogen and 

total nitrogen achieved at 99.9% and 86.5%, respectively. The population structure 

characteristics of microorganisms in the system were studied using high-throughput 

sequencing of 16S rDNA amplicon. The results demonstrated that the two dominant microbial 

strains in the system were Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes, accounting for 26.6% and 

17.8%, respectively. The major contributors of nitrogen removal were Nitrosomonas in 

&beta;-Proteobacteria and Candidatus brocadia in Brocadiae. Through the above 

experiments, it was revealed that the investigated SBAF based CANON possesses had the 

advantages of fast start-up, efficient biological nitrogen removal and stable operation 

process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study investigated the spectral characteristics of fluorescent dissolved 

organic matter (FDOM) in sediments of Lihu Lake using three-dimensional excitation-

emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (EEMS), and discussed the correlation between 

source of FDOM and organic or inorganic nitrogen. The results indicated that the surface 

sediments in Lihu Lake consisted of three fluorescence fractions (II), humic-like C1

(240,310/420 nm), C2(260,360/460 nm), and tryptophan-like C3(225,275/340 nm). The total 

fluorescence intensity ranged from 49.97 to 159.19 R.U.&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and 

decreased from east to west with higher values in coast district than in lake center. The 

relative proportions of C1, C2, and C3 were 33.63%, 26.87% and 39.49%, respectively. The 

fluorescence index (FI), biological origin index (BIX), and humification index (HIX) 

ranged from 1.96 to 2.22, 0.69 to 0.94, and 2.62 to 4.39. It indicated that the main 

source of FDOM in Lihu Lake was from endogenesis, and mainly derived from microbes, algae 

and other newly autochthonous sources. The results illustrated, the fluorescence 

intensity had significant correlation with organic and inorganic nitrogen(P&lt;0.01), and 

had higher correlation with inorganic nitrogen. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) has been regarded as an efficient process 

to treat high-strength wastewater without organic carbon source. To investigate the 

nitrogen removal performance of ANAMMOX in the presence of organic carbon source can 

broaden its application in organic wastewater treatment. In this work, an anaerobic 

sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was used to study the effect of organic carbon source on 

ANAMMOX process. The experimental results indicated that the activity of anaerobic 

ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AAOB) decreased by 84.2% when 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD 

of glucose was added. When sodium acetate was added, the activity of AAOB was affected 

little. Besides, it even promoted the activity with COD less than 120 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>. The effect of sucrose on ANAMMOX process was similar to that of sodium acetate 

and the maximum specific ANAMMOX activity (SAA) increased by 25.0% with 80 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD. When citric acid was added, the maximum SAA peaked with 80 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>COD. The order of ANAMMOX promotion resulted from organic carbon 

source was sucrose, sodium acetate, citric acid and glucose. With addition of organic 

carbon source, nitrate could also be removed through the synergy of ANAMMOX and 

denitrification, and the total nitrogen removal efficiency increased. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In order to analyze the composition, distribution and burial characteristics of 

nitrogen in sediments of Dianchi Lake in the last hundred years, 6 sediment cores were 

sampled in July 2014 to determine the contents of different nitrogen species and 

sedimentary age sequence. The integrated results demonstrated a high content of total 

nitrogen in sediments ranging from 1 263.68-7 155.17 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The 

contents of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen were low, which were 10.00-144.00 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 9.20-146.50 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Organic 

nitrogen was the main component in the sediments, ranging from 255.80 to 5 644.25 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, composing a large average percentage of 91.26%. In addition, 

the nitrogen pollution of sediment in Dianchi Lake has reached a high level and is 

becoming serious since 1970s, which surged in the late 1990s. The spatial difference of 

total nitrogen was obvious, with comparably the most in the south, less in the north and 

least in the center. The average deposition rate was changing from 0.092 g&middot;

(cm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.187 g&middot;(cm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>in the last 100 years and increased first, then declined, finally showed a slight 

upward trend over time. The burial rate of total nitrogen in sediment increased over time 

and almost grew up straightly after 1990, which decreased from the south to the north of 

Dianchi Lake in space. It was estimated that the reserves of total nitrogen, organic 

nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen in the sediment were 92 139.15 t, 86 745.62 

t, 2 464.16 t, 2 929.37 t, respectively, from 1900 to 2014. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Methane (CH<inf>4</inf>) and nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) are two of the most 

important non-CO<inf>2</inf>greenhouse gases. And municipal sewage treatment plant is an 

important anthropogenic source of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O. Therefore, it is 

essential to measure the production and emission of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O 

during biological wastewater treatment process. The surface emission flux isolation 

chamber was employed to collect the gas sample from the Xi'an No.3 WWTP (the Orbal 

oxidation ditch process) and Xi'an NO.4 WWTP (A/A/O process) to determine the contents of 

methane and nitrous oxide. And the effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen 

concentration on non-CO<inf>2</inf>greenhouse gases emission from Xi'an NO.4 WWTP were 

discussed. The results showed that methane and nitrous oxide emission factors from No.3 

WWTP were 1 181 mg CH<inf>4</inf>per m<sup>3</sup>influent and 36.20 mg N<inf>2</inf>O 

per m<sup>3</sup>influent, respectively while those from the No.4 WWTP were 209 mg 

CH<inf>4</inf>per m<sup>3</sup>influent and 54.64 mg N<inf>2</inf>O per 

m<sup>3</sup>influent. In addition, the important influencing factors which affected 

methane and nitrous oxide emission were temperature, aeration strategy, DO, nitrite 

oxidation rate and specific methanogenic activity. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Famous as the world cultural heritage, West Lake in Hangzhou city has plenty of 

soft sediments with high organic matter content. To search the countermeasures for 

internal phosphorus release reduction from the sediment, the sediment core incubation was 

conducted to understand the efficacy of Phoslock&#9415; on internal phosphorus release in 

spring, summer and winter, respectively. The results showed that the internal phosphorus 

release fluxes in winter and spring were relatively low, with averaged values in the 

entire lake of 0.13 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and 0.29 mg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, while the release flux was 3.29 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in summer, more than ten times higher than 

those in spring and winter. It was estimated that 23.7 kg of phosphorus could be released 

from sediment in the entire lake every day in summer. Spatially, the phosphorus release 

flux was related to organic matter contents in sediments, but not the phosphorus or 

bioavailable phosphorus contents in sediments in West Lake. With Phoslock&#9415; added at 

the rate of 630 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, sediment phosphorus release was successfully 

controlled, which reduced the phosphorus concentration in the lake water to less than 

0.010 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Especially during summer time, the sediment phosphorus 

release was reduced by 98% after Phoslock&#9415; application. The research suggested that 

Phoslock&#9415; is powerful for phosphorus control even for sediments with high organic 

matter content, which could be considered in ecological restoration of WEst Lake. &copy;

Abstract:The study aimed to find out the dynamic changes of selenium (Se) uptake with 

crops growing and to provide better understanding on the translocation of Se in soil-

plant system. Pot experiments and laboratory analysis were carried out, in which 6 crops 

were planted for eight weeks in the soils treated with selenite and selenate. The results 

showed that there was a significant difference in the plant dynamic uptake pattern for 

selenite and selenate. Se concentration in shoots and roots of all tested plants 

continuously declined with growth since the third week after planting for selenate 

treatment; while Se concentration in roots of plants gradually increased with the growth, 

and that for shoots firstly increased and then leveled off or decreased for selenite 

treatment. Crops could accumulate Se throughout the whole growing period, while 80% of 

the Se in plants was uptaken in the first 6 weeks. Among the 6 tested plants, the Se 

concentration in the shoots and roots of mustard was the highest, followed by the shoots 

of wheat for selenate treatment. The Se concentration in shoots of carrot was the 

highest, while that in roots was the lowest for selenite treatment. For the same Se 

treatment, the Se concentrations in both roots and shoots of broccoli, purple cabbage and 

flowering Chinese cabbage were similar. Broccoli, purple cabbage, flowering Chinese 

cabbage, mustard and wheat had higher translocation ability to transport selenate than 

selenite from roots to shoots, whereas carrot had the same ability for translocating 

selenite and selenate. Biological dilution affected the dynamic changes of the Se content 

in crops, especially for selenate treatment, and a significant negative correlation 

between Se concentration of plants and their biomass further verified this. However, the 

changes of biomass of plants with growing period couldn't explain the total inverse 

dynamic uptake pattern for selenite and selenate. A significant positive correlation was 

observed between Se accumulations amount in six crops with available Se changes in soil 

during the corresponding growing period for selenate treatment, while no such correlation 

was found for selenite treatment. Se accumulation in crops grown on selenite-treated soil 

accounted for 0.5%-18.1% of soil available Se, whereas that in selenate treatment was 

1.1-4.5 times of soil available Se except for carrot. In conclusion, the dynamic changes 

of Se uptake with crop growth were the comprehensive results of the absorption and 

transport capacity of crops, Se availability in soil and biological dilution. It should 

be considered as a whole in the selenium biofortification. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The specific characteristics and mechanism of adsorption of Cu(II) were studied 

by using HAP/C composite (PBGC-HAP/C) as adsorbent, and using pH value of the solution 

system, initial concentration of Cu(II) and particle size of the material as influential 

factors. The results showed that when the solution was weak acid (pH=5), the adsorption 

effect was the best; the increase of the initial concentration of the reaction system was 

not conducive to the enhancement of the adsorption effect; and the decrease of the 

particle size of the adsorbent facilitated the adsorption process. The pseudo-second-

order kinetic model could accurately describe the adsorption process, and the calculated 

adsorption capacity (0.99, 1.93, 4.03 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) was close to the 

experimental measured values (0.99, 1.93, 4.05mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>); Langmuir model 

could fit the adsorption process very well, which indicated that adsorption was monolayer 

adsorption and the increase of temperature was conducive to adsorption. The 

thermodynamics test results of &Delta;G<sup>&theta;</sup>&lt;0, 

&Delta;S<sup>&theta;</sup>&gt;0 and &Delta;H<sup>&theta;</sup>&gt;0 showed that the 

adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. Through comparative analysis of the 

SEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR of materials before and after adsorption, the results indicated 

that the chemical complexation reaction of Cu(II) with the oxygen functional groups on 

the surface of PBGC-HAP/C was the main purification mechanism, which was accompanied with 

physical adsorption, electrostatic adsorption and ion exchange. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to investigate the effects of simulated acid rain on soil respiration 

and heterotrophic respiration in a secondary forest, a field experiment was carried out. 

A split-plot experiment was arranged in field. There were 4 blocks; each block had two 

main plots which were trenched and un-trenched plots. In each main plot, 4 simulated acid 

rain treatments of control (CK), pH 4.0 (A1), pH 3.0 (A2), and pH 2.0 (A3) were randomly 

assigned. Soil respiration in the un-trenched plots and heterotrophic respiration in the 

trenched plots were measured weekly. Soil temperature and moisture at a depth of 5 cm 

were measured during the respiration measurements. The results indicated that different 

simulated acid rain treatments exhibited similar seasonal patterns of soil respiration 

and heterotrophic respiration. Heterotrophic respiration in the trenched plots was 

significantly lower than soil respiration in the un-trenched plots. The annual mean soil 

respiration rates for the CK, A1, A2, and A3 treatments in the un-trenched plots were 

(2.47&plusmn;0.31), (2.52&plusmn;0.22), (2.38&plusmn;0.17), and (2.43&plusmn;0.22) 

&mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, while the annual mean 

heterotrophic respiration rates for the 4 treatments in the trenched plots were 

(1.55&plusmn;0.10), (1.65&plusmn;0.22), (1.77&plusmn;0.08), and (1.78&plusmn;0.27) 

&mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. ANOVA showed that 

simulated acid rain had no significant effects on soil respiration in the un-trenched 

plots and heterotrophic respiration in the trenched plots. Regression analysis suggested 

that there was a significant linear regression relationship between soil respiration and 

heterotrophic respiration. Simulated acid rain significantly (P&lt;0.001) decreased the 

ratio of soil respiration to heterotrophic respiration. Soil temperature was the main 

controlling factor regulating the seasonal patterns of soil respiration and heterotrophic 

respiration for each of the SAR treatment, while soil moisture had no significant effects 

on the seasonal variability in soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration. &copy;

Abstract:Pilot-scale performances for ultrafiltration of Dongjiang river water without 

and with micro-coagulation and coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatments were 

conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatments on hydraulic irreversible fouling 

of ultrafiltration short processes. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, high 

performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and fluorescence excitation-emission 

matrix (EEM) were employed to identify foulants responsible for irreversible fouling 

during ultrafiltration with and without pretreatments. The results showed that the 

hydraulic irreversible fouling rate was 0.16 kPa&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>with micro-

coagulation pretreatment at 10 L&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, while the 

rate without pretreatment was 0.32 kPa&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>at the same flux. Meanwhile, 

the fouling rate with coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatment was almost zero 

at the same flux. Furthermore, when the flux increased to 17 L&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, the irreversible fouling was not observable with 

coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation pretreatment (backwashing every 24 hours). 

Properties of foulants from external membrane and internal membrane after backwashing 

showed that the protein-like and fulvic-like substances were responsible for irreversible 

fouling in Dongjiang river water. Furthermore, structural alteration of cake layer 

resulted in less cake resistance and higher backwash efficiency after micro-coagulation 

pretreatment, leading to less irreversible fouling. Coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation 

pretreatment decreased irreversible fouling with higher removal efficiency of protein-

like and fulvic substances, which were the foulants responsible for irreversible fouling 

during ultrafiltration. Both micro-coagulation and coagulation-adsorption-sedimentation 

pretreatments decreased irreversible fouling during ultrafiltration short process. &copy;

Abstract:To investigate the effects of zero valent iron (Fe<sup>0</sup>) on the decline 

of antibiotic resistance genes during thermophilic anaerobic digestion of sludge, the 

abundances of seven tetracycline resistance genes (TC-ARGs, including tetA, tetC, tetG, 

tetM, tetO, tetW, and tetX) and class 1 integron gene (intI1) were quantified by 

quantitative PCR (qPCR). Also, the concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were 

determined. The correlations between the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene and the 

concentrations of VFAs were discussed. The results showed that appropriate dose of 

Fe<sup>0</sup>such as 0.10 g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>VSS could enhance the anaerobic 

digestion process of sludge, and the production of total VFAs and acetic acid increased 

significantly. The decrease in the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene was also 

enhanced. However, excessive Fe<sup>0</sup>such as 1.17 g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>VSS could 

not further improve the reduction in the abundances of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene, probably 

resulted from the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer. The abundances of TC-ARGs 

except tetO gene, as well as intI1 gene exhibited significant negative correlation with 

the concentration of acetic acid, indicating that acetic acid probably had an enhanced 

effect on the decline of TC-ARGs and intI1 gene during thermophilic anaerobic digestion 

of sludge. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Cave air CO<inf>2</inf>makes notable impacts on the deposition and dissolution 

of speleothem, affecting the stability of carbonate landscape and comfort of tourist in 

show caves. Cave air CO<inf>2</inf>is a key factor of karstification occurrence. Studying 

the mechanism of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>variation is important for understanding the 

pattern of karstification and cave protection. In order to understand the temporal and 

spatial variation characteristics and its possible controlling factors, inside and 

outside cave air CO<inf>2</inf>, hydrogeochemical index, temperature, relative humidity 

as well as precipitation and tourist amount were observed in the Jiguan Cave, which lies 

in the west Henan Province of south-north geographical boundary of China. Nearly five 

years monitoring of air CO<inf>2</inf>of Jiguan Cave was carried out from December, 2011 

to May, 2016. A diurnal monitoring was performed from 19 May, 2016 to 20 May, 2016. The 

results indicated that the cave air CO<inf>2</inf>showed notable spatial and seasonal 

variations. &#9312;From the spatial variation, the sites closer to cave entrances, 

affected by strong cave ventilation, had lower pCO<inf>2</inf>. In addition, the special 

structure of Jiguan Cave and soil air pCO<inf>2</inf>variation, vegetation respiration 

and soil microbial activity, which in turn were associated with changes in climate and 

environment also contributed to the variation of cave air pCO<inf>2</inf>. &#9313; On a 

seasonal scale, cave air CO<inf>2</inf>was higher in summer and lower in winter. This 

variation of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>was mainly influenced by tourism activity as well as 

karstification. &#9314;Tourist amount was the mainly factor that influenced the variation 

of cave air CO<inf>2</inf>on a daily scale. Because of tourism activity, cave air 

CO<inf>2</inf>was increased, and also cave environment was disturbed. All of these 

intimidate the better conservation of cave environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Because of the limited dissolved organic matter removal efficiency in 

conventional pre-ozonation-coagulation process, the hybrid ozonation-coagulation (HOC) 

process was developed for wastewater reclamation in this study. In this process, 

coagulation and ozonation could synchronize within a single unit. Compared with the pre-

ozonation-coagulation process and traditional coagulation process at the same coagulants 

dosage, the HOC process exhibited higher treatment efficiency, especially better organic 

matter removal performance at each pH value, which were 37.96% and 39.66%, respectively. 

In order to obtain the removal mechanism of dissolved organic matters by HOC process, 

ozone decomposition at two pH values either with or without 

AlCl<inf>3</inf>&middot;6H<inf>2</inf>O was monitored in this study. The results showed 

that higher pH and the addition of coagulant could accelerate ozone decay. In addition, 

para-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) was chosen as the hydroxyl radical (&middot;OH) probe 

compound to indirectly calculate the &middot;OH exposure. The results revealed that the 

HOC process was involved in &middot;OH reaction and coagulant could promote ozone 

decomposition due to its enhancing effect on &middot;OH production during the ozonation 

process. Furthermore, the ozone depletion occurred more quickly at high pH due to its 

reaction with hydroxide ions (OH<sup>-</sup>), leading to the formation of &middot;OH 

through a series of chain reactions. Moreover, the effects of tert-butanol, a well-known 

&middot;OH inhibitor on ozone decay and p-CBA decomposition were also investigated. The 

results indicated that ozone depletion and p-CBA decomposition were significantly 

inhibited by tert-butanol, which further proved that ozone was decomposed into &middot;OH 

radicals through chain reactions. In the HOC process, Al-based coagulants and hydrolyzed 

products could act as catalysts to enhance ozone decomposition into &middot;OH which is a 

powerful oxidant to improve the organics removal efficiency. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:To investigate the dry deposition pattern of particulate matter and lead in 

urban Beijing, dry deposited particles were collected based on a surrogate surface 

between December 2013 and November 2014 and subjected to elemental analysis by using 

microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results showed 

that dry deposition fluxes of particle mass and total lead were 0.84 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>and 7.56 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, with a seasonal trend of spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn~summer, 

exhibiting a similar temporal pattern to that of coarse particles. In addition, dry 

deposition flux of water-soluble lead was 3.14 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>. It was found that the ratio of soluble fraction to total lead in dry deposited 

particles reached up to 43%, coinciding with a seasonal variation of ambient sulfur 

dioxide. The findings highlighted the anthropogenic imprints on the dry deposition flux 

of particles and heavy metals as well as the solubility of lead. This study also provides 

a first-hand dataset that can be used to assess ecological and environmental impacts of 

dry deposited lead, and an up-to-date scientific basis for the crafting abatement 

strategies to further reduce emission of heavy metals in China. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from 11 sampling sites in the coastal 

city group along western Taiwan Straits region, China, and these heavy metal elements 

(Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, As) were detected using particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) 

method. The pollution characteristics, enrichment factors and source apportionment of 

heavy metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were analyzed, and furthermore, their human health risks 

were determined. The result showed concentration distribution was obviously different 

between PM<inf>2.5</inf>and heavy metals in the city group, for the main sources (e.g. 

construction dust and ground dust) for PM<inf>2.5</inf>were not the main contribution to 

these heavy metals. The enrichment factors of Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, Cr, As exceeded 10, 

which suggested these metals were enriched and significantly impacted by anthropogenic 

pollution. Three main groups of heavy metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were identified by 

principal component analysis (PCA-MLR), such as coal combustion and traffic emissions 

(70.59%), multiple sources (coal and oil combustion, pyrometallurgical process, 17.55%) 

and other industry (11.86%). The risk levels for carcinogenic heavy metals (Ni, Cr, As) 

and non-carcinogenic heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn) were lower than the average level of 

risk acceptance (10<sup>-6</sup>), which suggested these heavy metals did not cause harm 

to human health in these cities. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Kaolin commonly exists in water, and it has an important impact on the water 

treatment processes and contaminants'migration and transformation. In this study, PAC was 

used as flocculating agent to systematically investigate the effects of UV radiation on 

the coagulation process of kaolin by jar test. The results showed that under neutral and 

acidic conditions, UV radiation could promote the coagulation process of kaolin 

suspension. When the solution pH, coagulant dosage and irradiation time were 7.0, 30 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 2.0 h, respectively, the kaolin remove rate of effluent after 

coagulation increased from 81.05% to 93.90% by using UV radiation. This might be related 

to the decrease of -OH stretching vibration absorption peak and the enhancement of Si-O 

stretching vibration absorption peak and Si-O bending vibration absorption peak after UV 

radiation, so that the number of the active spot(-OH)on kaolin surface declined. These 

changes might lead to decrease of the negative charge on kaolin surface, which promoted 

kaolin suspension to precipitate in coagulation process. However, under alkaline 

conditions, its settlement performance was slightly lower than the water samples without 

ultraviolet radiation treatment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to better understand the effects of nitrogen application on 

accumulation, translocation and distribution of selenium in winter wheat and to provide 

theoretical reference for reasonable nitrogen application and increasing selenium content 

of grains. A pot experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions with Se1 (0.74 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) or Se2 (2.60 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) levels of selenium, 

and each Se treatment was supplied with N1 (100 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) or N2 (200 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) levels of nitrogen, respectively. Selenium concentrations and 

biomass amounts of different parts of wheat were determined at jointing and maturity 

stage. The results showed that grain yield increased with increasing nitrogen levels by 

13.2% and 24.0% in Se1 and Se2 treatment, respectively. Regardless of N rate, Se 

concentration of wheat increased with raising Se amended rate (P&lt;0.01). Increasing 

nitrogen application could promote Se uptake of root and thus increase the selenium 

concentration of wheat grains and leaves, which was greater in Se1 treatment than in Se2 

treatments. Se concentrations in wheat grain increased by 22.6% and 12.1% with the 

increasing N application rate in low and high Se treatment, respectively. The 

distribution ratios of Se in each organ ranked the same as BCFs, following the order of 

leaf&gt;grain&gt;glume&gt;root. Increasing N fertilization increased the distribution 

ratio of Se in grains by 11.1% and 25.9% in low and high selenate treatments, 

respectively. High nitrogen fertilization could promote uptake and translocation of Se in 

wheat under low Se conditions, and improve Se use efficiency as well in the agricultural 

production. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:There are lots of problems in the domestic remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated 

soil field, such as lack of the key processing parameters, poor long-term effect and so 

on. The Cr(VI) heavy polluted surface soil was sampled from an electroplating site in 

North-China, and then treated with five different reducing reagents. At the same time, 

the on-line ORP probes and interval sampling test were chosen to monitor the reaction 

process, and to explore the reaction rate and effect. The results showed that No.4 

reagent had the highest Cr(VI) reduction effect, reaching up to 99.5%, and the minimum 

soil Cr(VI) concentration could reach 2.4 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The No.1 and No.4 

reagents had relatively faster reducing rates. There were obvious difference in ORP and 

pH monitoring values between different reductants, for example, the No.1 reagent kept the 

ORP value stable at around -400 mV. The No.4 reagent gradually increased the value from 

-200 mV to 100 mV since 30h, and then kept stable. According to the pH difference among 

different reductants, the No.4 reagent was the best and kept the pH value at around 7. 

Taking together the final effect and process key parameters, the No.4 reagent was the 

best. The scale-up experiment was operated with process monitoring, and the ORP and 

conductivity values showed that the reduction reaction took about 160 h. This work would 

provide theoretical basis for controlling the maintenance condition and reaction process 

in soil Cr(VI) remediation. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To study the seasonal change characteristics and form composition of nitrogen 

and phosphorus output concentration and pollutant discharge load with rainfall 

characteristics at the outlet of Gufu river small watershed, the quality and quantity of 

water combined with natural rainfall events were monitored from January to December 2014. 

The results showed that the annual runoff volume of the Gufu river small watershed was 

0.6&times;10<sup>8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>. The runoff was concentrated in raining season 

(from July to September), accounting for 63.9%. There was significant(P&lt;0.01) positive 

correlation between the runoff flow and the annual rainfall. The annual emission of total 

nitrogen (TN) was 1 432 t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>, and the emission was 853 

t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>during the raining season, accounting for 59.6% of annual TN 

emission content. The dissolved nitrogen was the main form of nitrogen emission, and the 

emission load of each month accounted for 55.4%-91.3% of TN. The positive correlation 

between the nitrate nitrogen concentration and rainfall was significant (P&lt;0.05). The 

annual emission of total phosphorus (TP) was 563.1 t&middot;a<sup>-1</sup>, and the 

content during the raining season accounted for 78.6% of TP annual emission content. The 

particle phosphorus (PP) was the main form of phosphorus emission, and the emission load 

of each month accounted for 41.9%-79.5% of TP. There was significant(P&lt;0.01) positive 

correlation between the annual rainfall, sediment and TP, PP. The correlation between the 

total dissolved phosphorus concentration and rainfall was significant (P&lt;0.05). &copy;

Abstract:Fine particles(PM<inf>2.5</inf>) collected by two middle volume air samplers in 

the suburbs of Baoding and the urban area of Beijing during Jan 10<sup>th</sup>to 

17<sup>th</sup>, 2015, were used to compare the community characteristics of cultivable 

bacteria in the two sites. In this study, we observed the particle morphology of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), analyzed the 

air mass transportation source of the two sampling sites by the NOAA/ARL HYSPLIT-4 

backward trajectory model, and measured the concentrations of the major water-soluble 

ions and heavy metal elements in the PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples using ion chromatography, 

continuous flow analyzer and ICP-MS. The results indicated that, the cultivable bacteria 

of PM<inf>2.5</inf>contained three phyla, which were Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and 

&alpha;-Proteobacteria. Nine genera and 17 species of cultivable airborne bacteria were 

isolated and identified. The most abundant phylum was Firmicutes. The Gram-positive 

bacteria accounted for more than 90%. The spore-forming Bacillus which was the dominant 

species contributed 68.15% and 75% to the total bacteria in urban Beijing and the suburbs 

of Baoding, respectively. The difference in the community structure of PM<inf>2.5</inf>'s 

cultivable bacteria in the two sampling areas may be affected by PM<inf>2.5</inf>'s 

physical and chemical properties and air mass transportation. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Mercury (Hg) in the aquatic environment is easy to accumulate in fish. In order 

to study the effect of the sediments on Hg accumulation in fish in the water-level-

fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, we conducted a 90-days simulated flooding 

experiment by using the sediments with different concentrations of Hg. Our study showed 

that the concentrations of the total mercury (THg) and methyl mercury (MeHg) in the 

overlying water increased after flooding, and the concentrations in the muscle of fish 

kept increasing in the period of experiment, the concentrations in the viscera and head 

increased in the earlier period but seemingly decreased in the later period. The 

bioaccumulated Hg content in the fresh was higher than that in the viscera and head, 

between which there was no significant difference. Compared with the control group (no 

sediment), the presence of sediments obviously increased the content of Hg bioaccumulated 

in fish, and the bioaccumulated Hg level increased with the Hg concentrations in 

sediment. The THg and MeHg in different fish parts presented a similar variation trend 

with the BCF ranging 1.93&times;10<sup>5</sup>-8.89&times;10<sup>5</sup>for MeHg and 

1.3&times;10<sup>3</sup>-12.8&times;10<sup>3</sup>for inorganic mercury, indicating that 

MeHg was more prone to accumulate in fish. The MeHg in fish was significantly related 

with THg, and accumulated MeHg occupied about 80.1% (muscle), 79.3% (visceral) and 66.7% 

(head) of increased THg. After the reflooding of the sediment in the water-level-

fluctuating zone, net methylation could occur with MeHg as the product, and then MeHg 

would diffuse to overlay water, further increasing the Hg bioaccumulation in fish. 

Therefore, the potential pollution risk of Hg in the water-level-fluctuationg zone with 

large area of the Three Gorges Reservoir cannot be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The long term and high dosage application of livestock manure may result in 

heavy metal accumulation and migration in the soil, which may endanger food security and 

affect the top soil heavy metal environmental capacity. Thus, one of the most important 

tasks for prevention of soil heavy metal pollution is scientific determination of the 

safe use load of heavy metals in livestock manure. A 4-year field plot experiment was 

carried out to quantitatively study the accumulation and migration characteristics of 

heavy metals from pig and chicken manure in soil profiles and the differences of 

bioavailability. The results showed that the contents of Cu and Cd increased 

significantly by 43.8%-118.6% and 28.2%-44.9% in topsoil(0-15 cm) after 4-consecutive 

year application of pig manure, and the contents of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, As, Pb also increased 

by 29.7%-48.5%, 239%-456%, 19.9%-80.8%, 40.4%-163%,11.8%-22.0% and 80.3%~95.0% obviously 

after application of chicken manure. The accumulation rates of Cu and Zn in topsoil were 

76.4%-119% and 14.2%-20.4% with pig manure, 72.1%-88.7% and 63.9%-78.9% with chicken 

manure. Under a high dosage of pig and chicken manure, Cu and Zn migrated to a deeper 

soil evidently. Applying 60 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of pig manure after 4-consecutive 

year, Cu could migrate to 15-30 cm soil layer, Zn migrated to 30-60 cm soil layer with 

chicken manure. Except topsoil, the contents of Cr, Cd, As, Pb did not significantly 

increase in other soil layers. 4-year continuous application of chicken manure 

significantly decreased the contents of Cu and Cd, but increased the contents of Zn and 

Cr in wheat grain and the content of Zn in wheat straw. Pig manure significantly 

decreased the content of Zn in wheat grain, but increased As content with 60 

t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, the contents of Cu and As in wheat straw also increased 

significantly. Besides, the cumulative rate of heavy metals in wheat was no more than 6%, 

wheat grain carried out more Cu, Zn than straw, but the Cd, Cr, As, Pb were opposite. The 

cumulative rate of heavy metals in wheat decreased with the increasing application of 

manure. This research has an important significance in scientific determination of the 

heavy metal loads of plow layer, ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural 

production, and providing a scientific basis for the source control of soil heavy metal 

pollution and the safety production of agricultural goods. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The consumption of vegetables is a probable cause of Cd exposure in several 

world areas including China. In this study, we selected the prefecture of Youxian, 

southern China, as a case to analyze the influences of various environmental factors on 

Cd accumulation in vegetables based on a large scale agricultural and climatologically 

survey and collection of 585 irrigation water and 625 paired soil-vegetables samples. The 

results showed the concentration of Cd differed greatly in the irrigation water, soil and 

vegetables. The average daily dose for the adult populations consumed vegetables cropping 

in affected areas was slightly above the tolerable daily intake level, suggesting a 

potential health risk. The vegetables Cd uptake factor followed the natural lognormal 

distribution, and had a 10 percentile probability of higher than 1. The PUF values 

exhibited comparable results and appeared to define a reasonable and consistent Cd risk 

assessment. Many environmental variables (soil pH, soil organic matter, cation-exchange 

capacity, rainfall, water pH, and nitrogenous fertilizer usage) exhibited significant 

correlations with the concentrations of Cd in the soil-vegetable system. The canonical 

corresponding analysis and path model analysis found that soil pH and soil organic matter 

(SOM) had major direct effects on PUF. The close correlations between rainfall, water pH, 

nitrogen fertilizer usage and PUF were mainly resuled from the direct effect of soil pH 

and SOM. The high field-moisture capacity in the study area generated a rapid 

acidification causing the migration of Cd to weaker bounding sites thus promoting the 

vegetables uptake. The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers led to a substantial 

loss of SOM and worsening of soil acidification ultimately causing increasing Cd 

accumulation in vegetables. Considering that the soil pH and SOM in the study area were 

maintained at a low level, the accumulation risk of Cd in soil-vegetable system needs to 

be addressed. The influence of environmental factors on vegetables accumulating Cd needs 

to be fully considered for better and safer vegetables production. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Two different sludge composting products (with and without biochar) were applied 

in field to study the variations of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in soil 

and plants, as well as their migration in the soil-plant system and accumulation ability 

in plants during the sludge compost land use process. The results indicated that the 

concentrations THg and MeHg in soil increased after applying sewage sludge compost 

products, while the THg level was still lower than the secondary standard of national 

soil environmental quality. Biochar was speculated to probably promote the soil mercury 

methylation with lower MeHg/THg ratios in different soil treatments. THg concentrations 

in mature plants were significantly lower than those in seedling stage, but MeHg levels 

were higher than those in seedling stage. An obvious influence of composting on MeHg 

enrichment in plants was observed, and this similar effect was not found for THg 

enrichment. MeHg concentration in the soils applied with biochar compost was 

significantly higher than that without applying biochar compost soil, while MeHg in plant 

presented a contrary trend with higher level observed in no-biochar compost soil, 

suggesting that the addition of biochar could be in favour of soil MeHg formation and 

inhibit the MeHg accumulation in plants by influencing its migration. Since a strong MeHg 

accumulation ability with BCF of 1.24-14.63 was present in plant, the mercury ecological 

risk in soil environment caused by long-term fertilizing should be noticed. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In the present study, the accumulation and biotransformation of arsenate in 

typical freshwater algae species were examined under long-term influence of titanium 

dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>). Results showed that different algae species 

had largely varied capacities of accumulation and biotransformation of arsenate. The 

arsenic accumulation reached (819.66&plusmn;11.25) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>DW in 

Scenedesmus obliquus, which was higher than that in Microcystis aeruginosa of 

(355.95&plusmn;8.31) &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>DW. Nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>increased arsenic 

accumulation in these exposed algae species, and then reduced arsenic levels in the 

relative culture media. Furthermore, nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>improved arsenic 

biotransformation in the exposed algae, and the organic arsenic was dimethylarsinous acid 

(DMA) and monomethylarsonous acid (MMA) in Microcystis aeruginosa and Scenedesmus 

obliquus, respectively. Additionally, the release of organic arsenic was lower from the 

exposed algae in nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>treatments than in the control, indicating that 

nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>couldn't stimulate the release of organic arsenic from algae under 

long-term exposure. These results could improve insights on the ecological risk of nano-

TiO<inf>2</inf>associated with arsenic in the environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:To shorten the start-up time of CANON process and guide the sludge dischargement 

in the practical project, the start-up of CANNON process and influence of different flocs 

SRT were studied by inoculation ANAMMOX granules of different proportions in two same 

specifications of SBR reactor. During the experiment, the temperature was controlled at 

30&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451; and pH was 7-8. The results showed that it was not good for 

CANON process rapid start-up when the two reactors were inoculated with 5% and 10% 

ANAMMOX granules respectively and the initial FA concentration exceeded 44 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. When the two reactors were inoculated with 5% and 10% ANAMMOX 

granular sludge, the reactors were started-up successfully on Day 46 and Day 35, 

respectively. When the flocs SRT was maintained at 30 d, 90 d and un-initiative discharge 

respectively, the average total nitrogen removal rate could reach 0.35 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>stably. The quantitative PCR results of the three 

different flocs SRT showed that with increasing flocs SRT, the abundance of AOB was 

relatively stable, the abundance of ANAMMOX increased slightly, while the abundance of 

NOB significant increased. Therefore, it is necessary to elutriate flocs from reactor for 

decreasing the quantity of NOB and long-term stable operation of the CANON process.

Abstract:A pilot-scale study with conventional water treatment and ozone-biological 

activated carbon (O<inf>3</inf>-BAC) treatment was conducted to evaluate the impact of 

ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>) addition on the bromate and 

disinfection by-products formation potential (DBPFP) control, with bromide containing 

water as raw water. It was found that bromate concentration would exceed 10.00 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>as ozone doses were higher than 1.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>under different water qualities. Ammonia and H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>could 

effectively control bromate formation and bromate concentration decreased as ammonia and 

H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>doses increased. Bromate concentration could be controlled 

below 10.00 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>as ammonia dose was 0.10-0.30 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>or the m(H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>)/m(O<inf>3</inf>) was 0.2-1.0. However, as 

ammonia-H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was combined for the same purpose, bromate increased 

firstly and then decreased. Ammonia addition would not significantly affect the THMFP 

control but H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>application would depress the efficiency of THMFP 

removal. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Schwertmannite is usually naturally found in acidic mining wastewater and 

frequently used in the adsorption of heavy metal anions from water and wastewater. 

Schwertmannite was synthesized through a facile chemical method and utilized to remove 

Cr(VI) from contaminated groundwater. The kinetics, thermodynamics and isotherms, as well 

as the effects of environmental factors on the Schwertmannite adsorption processes were 

investigated. The experimental results showed that the synthesized Schwertmannite had a 

strong adsorption capability of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. At the pre-set initial 

concentrations of Cr(VI), the Schwertmannite adsorption of Cr(VI) achieved equilibrium 

within 24 h, and the Lagergren's second-order model fitted the adsorption process better 

compared to Lagergren's first-order model and intraparticle diffusion model. Langmiur 

equation fitted the adsorption isotherms better than Freundlich equation. The Cr(VI) 

adsorption on Schwertmannite mainly involved ion exchange reaction between Cr(VI) and 

anions such as OH<sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and surface complexation 

reactions. The &Delta;H<sup>&theta;</sup>and &Delta;G<sup>&theta;</sup>were 6.368 

kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>and -1.215 kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, therefore 

the adsorption of Cr(VI) was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The removal of Cr(VI) 

from aqueous solution increased with increasing Schwertmannite dosage at pH =4.5. Acidic 

pH in the range of 4.5-6 favored Cr(VI) removal with Schwertmannite compared to that 

under basic conditions. Under the conditions of 5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of initial Cr

(VI) concentration, 0.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of Schwertmannite dosage, pH=6, maximum 

Cr(VI) removal of 93.1% was achieved and the adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) with 

Schwertmannite reached up to 40.4 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Batch tests showed that the 

presence of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>inhibited the 

adsorption of Cr(VI) while Cl<sup>-</sup>had no significant impact. Cations and natural 

organic matter had a pH-dependent impact on Cr(VI) removal: at pH=8 natural organic 

matter and cations would significantly inhibit the Cr(VI) sorption, while the impact 

could be neglected at weak acidic conditions (pH=6). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Studying particle size distribution and dispersion characteristics of cooking 

oil fume can help to analyze the influence of the particles on indoor air quality and the 

health of the residents. Electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI) was employed to measure 

the number and mass concentration of the particles size range of 0.03-10 &mu;m at two 

different locations in the kitchen space with smoke exhaust on and off, respectively. The 

cooking particles were mostly located at below 655 nm. The smoke exhaust with open 

condition could remarkably decrease the kitchen's cooking fume. The number concentration 

of particles decreased from 2.8&times;10<sup>6</sup>cm<sup>-3</sup>to 

2.3&times;10<sup>5</sup>cm<sup>-3</sup>, and PM<inf>2.5</inf>(aerodynamics diameter 

&le;2.5 &mu;m particulate matter) mass concentrations decreased from 85.9 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>to 6.2 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The sucking efficiency of smoke 

exhaust for PM<inf>10</inf>was higher than PM<inf>2.5</inf>. The number concentration of 

particles could be declined by 65%, and the cooking fume of PM<inf>2.5</inf>could be 

declined by 75% during the diffusion process detected at the area of 3 m far away from 

the area where cooking took place. The distribution of PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass concentration 

field of oil fume was simulated by computational fluid dynamics. The temperature field 

distribution of oil fume was monitored by infrared camera, presenting sector diffusion 

with the temperature decreasing from 70&#8451; to room temperature. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The use of sewage sludge compost(SSC)as fertilizer may cause increased leaching 

due to its high content of heavy metals and thus pose a threat to groundwater quality. 

The effect of SSC application on heavy metals leaching in calcareous soils has been 

studied in field trials, which provides basis for determining heavy metals environmental 

capacity and preventing metal pollution in farmland soil scientifically. The results 

indicated that the contents of Cu, Zn elevated obviously with the increase of the age and 

the dosage of SSC utilization in the topsoil(0-15 cm) under 4-year continuous application 

of SSC. Under higher levels of the compost treatment, the heavy metals Cu and Zn were 

found to migrate into the 15-30 cm soil and 60-90 cm soil under the experimental 

condition. Nevertheless, the majority of Cu and Zn from SSC accumulated in topsoil and 

the highest accumulation rates could reach 75.3% for Cu and 85.9% for Zn. The contents of 

Cd, Pb increased significantly in topsoil after 4-year continuous application of SSC, and 

their increases could reach 57.2%-165.2% for Cd and 13%-34% for Pb compared with CK. At 

60-90 cm soil, the contents of Cr, As and Pb were also significantly higher than those in 

CK treatment. Application of SSC not only caused accumulation of some heavy metals in 

topsoil but also leached heavy metals located in the subsurface soil down in this 

experiment. Continuous utilization of SSC increased Zn concentration of wheat grain, and 

the increase could reach 13.3%-47.9%. For the concentrations of Cr and Pb in wheat grain, 

the values exceeded the national food and healthy standards value (GB 2762-2012) in part 

of compost treatments. The cumulative ratio of heavy metals carried out by wheat were all 

below 10% after 4-year experiment, wheat grain carried much more Cu, Zn out than wheat 

straw, but it was opposite for Cr, As, Cd, Pb. The cumulative ratio of heavy metals 

carried by wheat decreased with the increasing level of SSC utilization. The amounts of 

heavy metals migrated to deeper soil should be considered when determining the 

environmental capacity of heavy metals in farmland soil. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:To study the efficiency and mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus removal for 

decentralized rural sewage in modified zeolite wetland, the modified zeolite was applied 

as substrate into a combined process composed of anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and 

baffled flow constructed wetland (BFCW), providing a new way for rural sewage treatment 

in Suzhou City. The study was contrasted with zeolite wetland. The results showed that 

the modified zeolite wetland had high efficiency and stability of nitrogen and phosphorus 

removal, and the nitrogen and phosphorus removal quantities of modified zeolite wetland 

were 1.8% and 1 times higher than those of zeolite wetland during the trial. The modified 

zeolite wetland mainly removed nitrogen and phosphorus by substrate adsorption, and the 

main fractions of modified zeolite were Ca-P and Al-P. The oxygen-secretion and 

absorption of plants stabilized the water quality of the effluent. The substrate 

adsorption was the main nitrification removal pathway in front of the wetland, and 

nitrification and denitrification were the main nitrification removal pathways at the end 

of the wetland. The nitrogen and phosphorus adsorption capacities during the pilot test 

were much higher than those of the static test. The optimization of phosphorus adsorption 

capacity for modified zeolite was achieved under the synergy of multiple pathways. The 

effect of configuration and plant root was the main reason for the difference of nitrogen 

and phosphorus adsorption quantities. Nitrification intensity led to the seasonal 

fluctuation of nitrogen removal effect and stability in modified zeolite wetland, and the 

low nitrification intensity in the front of wetland was related to the strong adsorption 

of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N by the modified zeolite. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Two parallel biological aerated filters (BAF)-ozonation, named as number 1 

(feeding with FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O) and number 2, were used to treat 

petrochemical secondary effluent. The effect of FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O 

on COD and phosphorus removal by BAF-ozonation was studied. Molecular weight 

distribution, three-dimensional fluorescence scan and gas chromatography-mass 

spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze water quality before and after BAF-ozonation. 

The results showed the average COD and TP concentrations were 82.91 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and 1.37 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. When the dosage of 

FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O was 9 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the average 

removal rates of COD and TP were 52.20% and 71.50%, respectively. The average COD removal 

rate in number 1 combined process was 17.15%, which was higher than that in number 2 

combined process. The TP removal rate in number 1 combined process was increased by 

51.81%. The percentage of dissolved organic matters with relative molecular weight less 

than 1&times;10<sup>3</sup>was 52% in the raw wastewater. However, the percentage 

increased to 75% when treated by number 1 combined process and the removal rate of 

various molecular weight organics was increased. Three-dimensional fluorescence analysis 

showed that the dosage of FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O could improve the 

removal of fluorescent substances. GC-MS results showed that the number and concentration 

of organics were reduced after number 1 combined process in comparison with number 2 

combined process. BAF-ozone could be enhanced by FeSO<inf>4</inf>&middot;7H<inf>2</inf>O 

when treating petrochemical secondary effluent. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment have gradually engendered 

extensive concern recently due to the harm caused to environment and human beings. In 

this study, two sulfonamides resistant bacteria isolated from secondary effluents of a 

municipal wastewater treatment plant were used to compare the efficacy of three different 

disinfection processes (chlorination, ultraviolet and ozone) in reducing sulfonamides 

resistance pollution using serial dilution plate counting method and qPCR. The behavior 

characteristics of sulfonamides resistance genes during the disinfection process were 

elucidated using disinfection+DNase I treatment. The results showed that all three 

disinfection techniques could reduce the concentration of target bacteria, but the 

abundance of sulfonamides resistance genes was still at a high level. Furthermore, 

chlorination disinfection might reduce sulfonamides resistance genes by reducing 

microbial biomass. Ultraviolet disinfection could damage genes directly. However, during 

ozone disinfection, sulfonamides resistance genes would escape to environment, and its 

potential environmental risks could not be ignored. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Size-resolved filter samples were collected in Sanya every other week from June 

2012 to May 2014. The mass concentrations of water-soluble inorganic ions, including 

anions (Cl<sup>-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>) and 

cations (Na<sup>+</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, 

Ca<sup>2+</sup>) were measured by ion chromatography. The results showed that the total 

concentrations of measured water-soluble inorganic ions were (8.91&plusmn;7.27) and 

(11.34&plusmn;9.37) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in PM<inf>2.1</inf>and PM<inf>2.1-9</inf>, 

respectively. In PM<inf>2.1</inf>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>comprised 72.2% of all water-soluble inorganic ions, while in PM<inf>2.1~9</inf>, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>and Na<sup>+</sup>comprised 67.6% of all water-soluble 

inorganic ions. In PM<inf>2.1</inf>, the total concentrations of water-soluble inorganic 

ions had highest concentrations in winter and lowest concentrations in summer. In 

PM<inf>2.1~9</inf>, the total concentrations of water-soluble inorganic ions presented 

the highest concentrations in summer. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>showed bimodal size distributions and the peaks in the fine mode shifted from 

0.43-0.65 &mu;m in spring, summer and autumn to 0.65-1.1 &mu;m in winter. 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>and 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>were unimodal with the peaks in the coarse mode of 4.7-9.0 &mu;m. K<sup>

+</sup>showed bimodal size distribution with the fine mode at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m and the 

coarse mode at 4.7-5.8 &mu;m. PCA analysis showed that water-soluble inorganic ions were 

mainly affected by the secondary formation, sea salt and soil particles or falling dust.

Abstract:River sediments is a valuable environmental medium for characterizing 

contamination of heavy metals in the western areas of Taihu Basin and the associated 

risks to human health. We collected samples of typical inflow river sediments from 

nineteen sites during different water periods. The results showed that the concentrations 

of heavy metals in the river sediments followed the order of 

Zn&gt;Cr&gt;Cu&gt;Pb&gt;Ni&gt;As&gt;Cd&gt;Hg. Compared to the background concentrations, 

the mean concentrations of Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb seriously exceeded the standard values. 

Except for As, the highest concentrations of heavy metals (Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, Hg) 

were found in the samples from normal water period. The metal (Cd) presented moderate 

pollution degree and ecological risks,and the RI value of Cd accounted for about 47% of 

the total RI value. The mPEC-Q values of the sediments were in the range of 0.12-0.76, 

and the mean value was 0.3, indicating that the sediments in all of the sampling sites 

had a 15%-29% probability of toxicity. In terms of the highest value of the heavy metals, 

higher concentrations, I<inf>geo</inf>, mPEC-Q and PCA values were found at the S2 

sampling sites. The results showed that effects of synergism of heavy metals pollutants 

on the point were found in the paper, which will provide scientific basis for control of 

heavy metal pollution in the Taihu Basin. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To elucidate succession pattern of phytoplankton in the Daning River and its 

driving factors, multivariate statistical analysis was conducted. By using the monitoring 

data in different seasons of Daning river during April 2012 to January 2013, this paper 

analyzed the succession pattern of phytoplankton in the Daning River and its driving 

factors in typical tributaries of river-style reservoirs. According to the 

characteristics of water level, the operational period of the TGR was classified into 

following four stages: stage I (pre-November-April), stage II (May-July), stage III 

(July-September) and stage IV (September-November). (1)The results indicated that the 

values of Chlorophyll-a concentrations and algal density showed similar seasonal 

variations, with the highest values occurring in stage III, followed by stages IV, II and 

I. Succession of C-R-S growth strategies was the same generally: CR-R type dominated in 

stage I, CS, CR/CS and R-CR dominated in stage II, III and IV, respectively. (2)The mean 

values of Margalef index and Pielou index in stage IV and III were significantly greater 

than those in stage II and I; the value of Shannon-waver index showed that the highest 

value in stage III, followed in a descending order by stage I, II and IV; the 

successional rate had the highest value in stage IV, followed in descending order by 

stage III, I and II. (3) The results of Correlation analysis suggested that no 

significant relationships were observed between the environmental parameters and 

phytoplankton abundance in stage I. The results indicated that relative water column 

stability(RWCS), index of feasible energy for phytoplankton (E<inf>t</inf>) and index of 

feasible energy (Ef<sup>*</sup>) were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton community 

in stage I. The results indicated that E<inf>t</inf>, Ef<sup>*</sup>and total phosphorus 

(TP) were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton abundance in stage II. The results of 

the redundancy analysis (RDA) suggested that RWCS, TP and the ratio of euphotic depth 

[D<inf>eu</inf>(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)] to mixing depth (D<inf>mix</inf>)

[D<inf>eu</inf>(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>] were key regulatory factors for 

phytoplankton community composition in stage II. The results indicated that 

Ef<sup>*</sup>and TP were key regulatory factors for phytoplankton abundance in stage 

III. The results of the RDA suggested that [D<inf>eu</inf>

(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>], E<inf>t</inf>, Ef<sup>*</sup>and TP were key 

regulatory factors for phytoplankton community composition in stage III. The results 

indicated that TP was key regulatory factor for phytoplankton abundance in stage IV. The 

results of the RDA suggested that [D<inf>eu</inf>

(&lambda;<inf>PAR</inf>)/D<inf>mix</inf>] was key regulatory factor for phytoplankton 

community composition in stage IV. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the impacts of bioremediation on 

microbial communities and various nitrogen shifts in petroleum contaminated soil by using 

GC-MS and Illumia MiSeq technique. Results showed the concentrations of alkane reduced 

from 25 987.8 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 12 788.6 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and the 

concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) decreased from 5 322.9 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 2 917.2 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Illumia MiSeq results 

showed that soil microbial communities shifted significantly after remediation, and the 

relative abundance of some phylum of hydrocarbon degraders (Firmicutes, Bacterodetes), 

and some genus of degraders (Dietzia, Acinetobacter) increased. Besides, the contents of 

total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen increased firstly and then decreased during 

remediation. However, the contents of nitrate nitrogen decreased at the early stage, and 

then kept stable in the later stage of remediation. It can be concluded that 

bioremediation effectively promoted petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, and the different 

fractional hydrocarbon degradation was related to the relative abundance of hydrocarbon 

degraders and available nitrogen contents. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The soil microbial community and soil enzyme activity are important parts of 

soil ecosystem, and they are sensitive to the ecological environment. In this study, 

citrus plantation in Mt. Jinyun was chosen as the research object. The phospholipid fatty 

acid (PLFAs) combined with principal component analysis method was used to study the 

effect of season changes on soil microbial quantity, community structure characteristics 

and soil enzyme activity at 0-20 cm soil layer under citrus forest. The results obtained 

from this study were as follows: &#9312; The season changes had a significant impact on 

soil microbes (P&lt;0.05). Moreover, 16:0, i17:0, 16:1 2OH, 18:0, cy19:0&omega;8c, 

i17:1&omega;9c or 16:0 10-methyl were found to be common in all four seasons, and the 

proportion of each phospholipid fatty acid was 49.57%, 41.63%, 35.41% and 38.05%, 

respectively. In various microbial species, the PLFAs content of bacteria was the 

highest, followed by fungi, and that of actinomycetes was the lowest. Our results 

revealed that all kinds of micro-organisms showed obvious seasonal variation 

characteristics. The total PLFAs quantity of citrus forest ranged from 6.868 to 24.085 

nmol&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which had a content order of 

spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter&gt;summer. The PLFAs content of bacteria, G<sup>-</sup>, 

G<sup>+</sup>and actinomycetes also showed the same variation trend. However, the PLFAs 

content of fungi showed a different variation trend, i.e., autumn was the highest, 

followed by winter and summer, and spring was the lowest. The results suggested that 

season change also had a significant impact on microbial community functional diversity 

index. The variation trend of richness index (R) followed the order of 

spring&gt;winter&gt;autumn&gt;summer. Moreover, the variation trend of diversity index 

(H') was winter&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;summer. Furthermore, the variation trend of 

evenness index (J) was summer&gt;autumn&gt;winter&gt;spring. The dominance index (D) 

increased with the change of season. &#9313; Urease showed a change with the seasons 

following summer&gt;spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter; Soil invertase, soil catalase and acid 

phosphatase activity changed obviously in autumn, followed by spring, summer, and winter. 

&#9314; The principal component analysis demonstrated that the PLFAs content of bacteria, 

G<sup>-</sup>, G<sup>+</sup>, actinomycetes and total PLFAs made the greatest 

contribution to soil fertility followed by that of invertase, catalase, acid phosphatase 

and fungi. Moreover, our studies showed that the PLFAs content of urease made a minimum 

contribution to the soil fertility. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming to expand the utilization of porous silicate minerals in the remediation 

of heavy metal contaminated soil, the mesoporous material SBA-15 was successfully 

synthesized by using sodium silicate as silica source in this study. And the obtained 

SBA-15 samples were characterized by TEM, X-ray diffraction, N<inf>2</inf>adsorption-

desorption and FTIR. Furthermore, characterization of Cd(II) adsorption and sealing 

performance onto SBA-15 were evaluated through batch experiment, and the remediation 

potential of Cd(II) contaminated soil was investigated by brassica planting in a pot 

experiment. The results showed that SBA-15 had the mesoporous structure with surface area 

of 507.3 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and pore size of 7.38 nm. The maximum Cd(II) 

adsorption capacity was 76.43 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at pH above 7.0 with the adsorption 

isotherm fitting the Langmuir model in the solution of 100 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Cd

(II). The increase in ionic strength reduced the Cd(II) adsorption capacity. The Cd(II) 

loaded SBA-15 could be regenerated with 0.1 mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>HNO<inf>3</inf>, 

while Cd(II) could be strongly sealed in the pore structure after introduction of sodium 

silicate into the system. The pot experiment proved that the addition of SBA-15 (4.5 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) into Cd-contaminated soil could reduce Cd(II) availability, 

enhance the transformation of soluble and exchangeable Cd(II) fractions into carbonate 

and Fe-Mn oxides bounded forms, inhibit the Cd(II) accumulation in the plant tissue and 

improve the brassica growth. Based on these results, it can be concluded that combination 

of the SBA-15 particle with sodium silicate has great potential to remediate Cd(II) 

contaminated soil through adsorption and sealing properties. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The phosphate released from organic phosphorus photo-decomposition has a 

significantly influence on the phosphorus levels in the water column in lakes. In order 

to reveal the effect of organic phosphorus photo-decomposition on phosphate level in lake 

water, the phosphate released from organic phosphorus photo-decomposition driven by Fe

(III)-oxalate complex under UV-Vis and sunlight irradiation was investigated in natural 

lake water using glyphosate as the model organic phosphorus. The effects of pH and 

initial concentration of Fe(III), oxalate and glyphosate on the phosphate released from 

glyphosate photolysis were studied. The results showed that phosphate could be released 

from glyphosate degradation by Fe(III)-oxalate complex under UV-Vis and sunlight 

irradiation. The concentration of phosphate reached 0.25 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.18 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>under UV-Vis and sunlight irradiation for 60 and 720 min, 

respectively. The amount of phosphate released increased with the increase of the initial 

concentration of Fe(III), as well as the increasing oxalate and glyphosate concentration 

in lake water. However, the increase of pH could significantly inhibit this process in 

the reaction system. The concentration of phosphorus decreased with the addition of 

isopropanol, which indicated that the hydroxyl radical (&middot;OH) was one of the main 

active oxygen species of Fe(III)-oxalate complex. The rates of &middot;OH production for 

Fe(III)-oxalate/UV-Vis and Fe(III)-oxalate/sunlight systems were 0.52&times;10<sup>-

2</sup>&mu;mol&middot;(L&middot;min)<sup>-1</sup>and 0.03&times;10<sup>-

2</sup>&mu;mol&middot;(L&middot;min)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The steady-state 

concentrations of hydroxyl radical (&middot;OH) for the Fe(III)-oxalate/UV-Vis conditions 

were 4.74&times;10<sup>-16</sup>mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.27&times;10<sup>-

16</sup>mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>for the Fe(III)-oxalate/sunlight system. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Illicit drugs have been recognized as a group of emerging pollutants. Based on 

previous research, procedures to pre-treat wastewater including SPE column, pH of water 

samples, and processes of washing, acidifying and re-dissolving were compared. It was 

found that the best recovery was achieved when wastewater was adjusted to pH=2 and Oasis 

MCX column was used. It was not necessary to flush the loaded column or to acidify the 

eluate prior to evaporation using nitrogen steam. After evaporation, it is recommended to 

redissolve the evaporated samples using 200 &mu;L acetonitrile and 100 &mu;L 

acetonitrile+100 &mu;L 5 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>ammonium acetate in Milli-Q water for 

HILIC-UPLC-MS/MS and C18-UPLC-MS/MS, respectively. After comparing retention times, limit 

of detection, limit of quantification, recoveries, and matrix effects of HILIC and C18 

methods, C18-UPLC-MS/MS was chosen. Influent and effluent samples from 12 wastewater 

treatment plants in Beijing were analyzed using the optimized method for validation. The 

validated methods set a firm foundation to apply the sewage-based epidemiology to monitor 

illicit drug abuse in China. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Using the hanging nylon as a biological carrier, a novel biofilm reactor was 

adopted to treat synthetic wastewater, and the feasibility of cultivating and enriching a 

high concentration of PAOs on this conventional biofilm within a short time was 

investigated, which was proved from the aspects of reactor's operational efficiency, the 

rate of phosphorus removal and the condition of PAOs enrichment. After 10d of operation, 

the rate of orthophosphate removal was higher than 95% in aerobic phase and the 

concentration of effluent COD was 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>or less in the reactor,which 

was operated steadily for 50 d at this treatment level; after 48 d of operation, the 

reactor's phosphorus uptake rate and release rate were increased from 3.4 mg&middot;

(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 3.4 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>to 8 mg&middot;

(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 6 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>,respectively, and the 

aerobic and anaerobic cycles were shortened from equally 6 h to 2 h and 3 h, 

respectively. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test found that the PAOs' 

abundance was increased from the original 48.96% to 70% on the 50th day, meanwhile the 

PAOs showed reunite chunk state in hybrid figure, the thickness of biofilm measured by 

direct microscopic process was about 28.9 &mu;m, which all proved that the PAOs in 

biofilm were at the end of the growth kinetics and the biofilm was mature. By hardening 

culture for 50d, a high concentration of 70% in full organisms of PAOs could be enriched 

in the conventional nylon filler, enabling the reactor to show a high efficiency in 

removal of phosphorus and organic matter from sewage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:As an important part of inland waters, small pond is a neglected source of 

greenhouse gas. The main objective of the study was to quantify greenhouse gas fluxes 

(CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>) from small pond in the Yangtze Delta using flux-

gradient method. The results showed that: &#9312; zero-gradient test indicated that the 

flux measurement precision for water vapor, CO<inf>2</inf>, and CH<inf>4</inf>was 7.525 

W&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, 0.022 mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, and 0.054 

&mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. During the test period, 

84%, 80%, and 94% of half-hourly flux data for H<inf>2</inf>O, CO<inf>2</inf>, and 

CH<inf>4</inf>were higher than the zero-gradient measurement precision. &#9313;Based on 

the measurement, the small pond was the source of CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>for the 

atmosphere in summer, the mean emission flux of CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>was 0.038 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>and 0.889 &mu;g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The CH<inf>4</inf>emission fluxes 

from the small pond were more higher than the median value of emission for global lakes. 

The results indicated that greenhouse gas emission from small pond was an important part 

for estimating inland water greenhouse gas emissions, especially for 

CH<inf>4</inf>emission. These results can provide scientific reference for making 

emission inventory of regional greenhouse gas. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:A compound contaminated soil sampled from Lingxiang City, Hunan Province, was 

used to investigate the effects of biochar (BC) and montmorillonite (MM) addition on 

heavy metals fractions. The addition amounts of BC and MM were 1%, 2%, 5%, respectively, 

and the mixture treatment was 1% BC+1% MM. BCR(European Community Bureau of Reference) 

sequential extraction method was used to assess the fractions of heavy metals in soil 

after incubation. The results indicated that adding BC alone significantly reduced the 

available contents of Pb, Cu and Cd. Among montmorillonite treatments, MM5% treatment 

decreased the weak acid extractable content of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd by 27.6%, 19.2%, 25.6%, 

19.2%, respectively. BC+MM treatment worked well, decreased the weak acid extractable 

content of Cu,Pb, Zn, Cd by 15.8%, 15.9%, 13.1%, 12.0%, and increased the residual 

content by 39.0%, 110.1%, 9.6%, 62.5%, significantly reducing the mobility of the four 

elements. For the stabilization effect, MM treatment worked better than BC treatment, and 

a combination of two amendments worked the best. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Harvesting of microalgae is the major challenge in cost-efficient large-scale 

microalgal biomass production due to their low concentration and small cell size in the 

culture medium. The present paper aimed to study the efficiency of the filamentous fungus 

Mucor circinelloides spores suspensions to harvest the green unicellular microalga 

Chlorella pyrenoidosa grown in synthetic medium. Results showed that the optimal co-

culture conditions were pH=6.0, 1.25 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>glucose and 1&#8758;250 fungi 

to microalgae ratio with harvest efficiency of 91.08%. In addition, the mentioned optimal 

conditions could be applied for actual sewage with harvest efficiency of 92.33%. 

Polysaccharide concentrations measured before and after 48 h of cultivation showed that 

the polysaccharide of C. pyrenoidosa cultured alone was increased by 0.047 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, while co-cultured mixture showed increase in polysaccharides by 

0.019 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The recorded decrease in polysaccharides concentration in 

the co-culture might be attributed to using of excreted polysaccharides by M. 

circinelloides to grow, confirming the symbiotic association of both organisms. 

Furthermore, with decreasing the pH, C. pyrenoidosa Zeta potential was stable, while it 

was increased from -37.7 mV to -9.87 mV in M. circinelloides, which indicated that charge 

neutralization was the mechanism of flocculation between algae and fungi. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Application of biochar (BC) is an important way to increase soil organic carbon 

sequestration. At the same time, the effect of BC on fractions and properties of soil 

humic substances is concerned. A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the 

influences of BC pyrolyzed at different temperatures on the composition and properties of 

humic substances. The modified method for the extraction and fractionation of humic 

substances was adopted in this work. The carbon (C) contents of Humin (Hu), Humic acids 

(HA), Fulvic acids (FA) were analyzed by the thermal oxidation of 

K<inf>2</inf>Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf>and TOC analyzer, and the optical properties of 

HA and FA were measured by using spectrophotometer. The results showed that the 

increasing temperature (from 300 to 600&#8451;) decreased like-humic substances (LHS) 

from 10.93 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 0.26 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, while the structure 

of theLHS tended to be complicated. Compared with control treatment (CK), the addition of 

BC produced under 400&#8451; increased the contents of HA and FA (after 240 d incubation 

a lower FA content was found in treatments) and increased as BC application rate 

increased, after 360 d of incubation, BC300 and BC400 significantly increased by 69.93% 

and 48.75% for HA (P&lt;0.05), while decreased by 1.35% and 5.19% for FA. Higher contents 

of HA and FA were found in soil samples amended with BC prepared at above 400&#8451; only 

during the initial period of 3-10 d of incubation and increased as BC application rate 

increased, at the end of the incubation, the contents of HA and FA significantly 

decreased by 34.38%, 44.48% in BC500 treatments and 42.84%, 49.27% in the BC600 

treatments (P&lt;0.05). During the incubation, the addition of BC significantly increased 

the contents of Hu (P&lt;0.05), and the treatments amended with BC500 were the highest. 

The addition of BC decreased the relative contents of HA and FA, while increased the 

relative content of Hu, indicating that the proportion of relatively stable organic 

carbon in the soil was increased. The ratio of HA/FA (H/F) varied between 0.88 and 2.52 

and increased with decreasing pyrolysis temperature and increasing BC application. A 

significantly lower color tonal coefficient (&Delta;lgK) and 

E<inf>4</inf>/E<inf>6</inf>values in treatments amended with BC produced at temperatures 

above 400&#8451;, indicating that higher temperatures derived BC complicated the 

structure of soil humic substance, while an opposite rend was observed in treatments 

amended with BC produced at temperatures under 400&#8451;. Considering the improvement of 

the stability of organic carbon, when the BC products were applied to the Loutu soil, 

500&#8451; was the optimal temperature for preparing apple-derived BC not only because it 

could significantly increase the content of inert soil organic carbon, but also improve 

the quality of the soil as a result of enhancing the degree of soil humification. &copy;

Abstract:The effects of perchlorate concentration and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on 

perchlorate reduction characteristics were investigated in a sulfur-based perchlorate 

reduction reactor. The results showed that the perchlorate was completely removed at HRT 

of 12 h and the influent perchlorate concentration ranged from 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>to 194 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; The perchlorate removal efficiency was 74% at HRT 

of 4 h and the influent perchlorate concentration was 194 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; The 

yield of sulfate was increased by increasing the influent perchlorate concentration and 

HRT; The influent pH and alkalinity was approximately 8.0 and 500 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>CaCO<inf>3</inf>, and the effluent pH and alkalinity was approximately 6.7 and 100 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>CaCO<inf>3</inf>, respectively; The oxidation reduction potential 

(ORP) ranged from -380 mV to -330 mV at the bottom of the reactor, however, ORP ranged 

from -300 mV to -250 mV at the top of the reactor; The molecular biological analysis 

showed that the microbial consortium structure was different along the flow path in the 

reactor, Sulfurovum which is known to oxidize sulfur was decreased from 57.78% to 32.19% 

and Hydrogenophilaceae which is known to oxidize hydrogen sulfide was increased from 

4.35% to 22.24%. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the effect of reclaimed water on bacterial community 

composition and function in urban river sediment, the changes of bacteria community 

diversity, composition and function in Mayu wetland upon the supply of reclaimed water 

were investigated by a range of sophisticated procedures, including Terminal Restriction 

Fragment Length Polymorphism(T-RFLP), 16S rRNA clone library technology, and Real-time 

Quantitative PCR Detecting System(qPCR).The results showed that carbon, nitrogen and 

phosphorus were major factors driving the variation of bacterial diversity and community 

structure in river sediment, and the bacteria were gradually recovered after purification 

in downstream under the effect of artificial wetland. In addition, the bacterial 

community in reclaimed water outfall was mainly constituted by &beta;-Proteobacteria, 

&delta;-Proteobacteria, Bacteroidales and Cyanobacteriain, and &Epsilon;-Proteobacteria, 

Chloroflexi and Spirochaetes were unique groups. Besides, the major biological 

geochemical cycle was nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus cycle in river sediment, which was 

closely related to functional genes. There were about 45.9% of the clones related to 

nitrogen cycle in reclaimed water outfall, such as Comamonas sp., higher than those of 

upstream and downstream (27.7% and 23.4%), 17.9% of the clones were closely related to 

the carbon cycle, such as Lysobacter sp., higher than those of upstream and downstream 

(14.4% and 12.9%). Furthermore, the trace of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics in 

reclaimed water also changed the transformation pattern participating in carbon and 

nitrogen cycle, for example, Rhodocyclus sp. conducted nitrogen fixation by 

photosynthesis in reclaimed water outfall, whereas Burkholderia sp. fixes nitrogen by 

ways of plants symbiotic nitrogen fixation in upstream and downstream. This research 

provides theoretical reference for studies on remediation of reclaimed water supplying 

river by artificial wetland. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Colloids are the major carriers of various contaminants during the downward 

transport into groundwater. To explore the long-term dynamics of colloid in the 

groundwater and its influencing factors, a one-year monitoring of colloid concentration 

and water physicochemical parameters was carried out in the shallow wells in a purple 

soil dominated watershed in the hilly region of central Sichuan. The results indicated 

that colloid concentrations within a year had a strong seasonal variation with the 

coefficient of variation being larger than 0.5. The maximum of colloid mass concentration 

could reach as high as 14.68 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(the corresponding number 

concentration being 1.34&times;10<sup>9</sup>L<sup>-1</sup>), which occurred in the non-

rainy season and was caused by the physical perturbations from water taken. Physical 

perturbations of rainfall led to the distinct peaks of colloid concentrations in the well 

water at the early stages of rainy season while it did not occur at the end of the rainy 

season even upon heavy storm. Water chemistries (EC, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, 

DOC) showed the dominant role in determining colloid concentrations and status in the 

well. The facilitated transport of contaminants (i.e. pesticides and heavy metals) due to 

the increased colloids in the shallow well water at the early stages of rainy season 

would potentially pose a great threat to the drinking water safety in the study area. 

Therefore, it is strongly suggested to increase the monitoring frequencies in terms of 

colloid concentrations and well water physicochemical parameters following the large 

rainfall events during this period. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The modification of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes with carbon nanotube 

(CNTs) on fouling control was investigated. Considering the antifouling ability of the 

CNT-modified membranes and the stability of CNTs layer, several factors were analyzed and 

evaluated, including the concentration of ethanol-dispersion, the diameter of CNTs, and 

the loading mass of CNTs. Besides, DOC, UV<inf>254</inf>, and fluorescence 

characteristics of the permeate from the CNT-modified membrane were analyzed. The results 

revealed that the optimal modification method included a 50%(volume fraction) ethanol-

dispersion,a 30-50 nm diameter-CNTs, and 3 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>CNTs' loading. Compared 

with the virgin membrane, the removal rates of DOC and UV<inf>254</inf>by the CNT-

modified membrane were increased by 37% and 56%, respectively. Meanwhile, it was proved 

that the humic-like and protein-like materials were more easily removed by the CNT-

modified membrane. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Global warming can intensify the El Ni&ntilde;o phenomenon that recurs every 2-7 

years, which will lead to a great interannual variability of climate and may induce the 

deterioration of the water quality of reservoirs. To study the influence of the extreme 

El Ni&ntilde;o events on the water quality of stratified reservoirs during summer, field 

surveys were conducted in Zhoucun Reservoir and its inflow rivers from May to August in a 

normal year (2012) and a strong El Ni&ntilde;o year (2015). Temporal variations of 

physical and chemical index were investigated during monitoring. The results showed that 

the Zhoucun Reservoir was stratified during the study period. The precipitation in the 

summer of the normal year was significantly higher than that in the El Ni&ntilde;o year 

at the same period. In the summer of the normal year, the water level increased from 

124.26 m to 127.14 m and the hypolimnion thickness increased by 3.1 m. However, in 2015, 

the rapid decrease of the water level from May to August (from 121.65 m to 119.46 m) led 

to the decrease of the hypolimnion thickness (by 3.2 m). The inflow rivers belonged to 

surface current and its nutrients concentrations were obviously higher than those in the 

epilimnion. The inflow nutrients loads increased significantly in the summer of the 

normal year, as a result, total nitrogen increased from 1.00 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

2.06 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, nitrate increased from 0.19 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 

1.28 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and total phosphorus increased from 0.023 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 0.088 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in the lacustrine zone of the 

reservoir. In contrast, the nutrients concentrations changed little in the summer of the 

El Ni&ntilde;o year due to the decrease in runoff. Nonetheless, the reducing pollutants 

concentrations of the hypolimnion in the El Ni&ntilde;o year were significantly higher 

than those in the normal year, which may be due to the temporal variations of hypolimnion 

thicknesses. The maximum concentrations of iron, manganese, ammonium and sulfide in the 

summer of the El Ni&ntilde;o year were 0.38, 1.36, 2.36 and 1.67 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. All these index exceeded the standards for surface water Class 

III. We conclude that the extreme El Ni&ntilde;o event has an apparent influence on the 

nutrients concentrations in the epilimnion and the pollutants concentrations in the 

hypolimnion in Zhoucun Reservoir. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To reveal the spatiotemporal characteristics of nutrients in the deposition 

process of suspended solids in lakeside zone, in situ deposition tests were performed in 

the western lakeside of Taihu Lake, and the contents of TP, TN, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were measured and analyzed. The results showed 

that the deposition fluxes in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake ranked as follows: 

artificial reed areas&gt;non-vegetation nearshore areas&gt;natural reed areas&gt;non-

vegetation offshore areas, with their average values of (1 383.40&plusmn;925.60), (1 

208.67&plusmn;743.50), (278.72&plusmn;142.53), (245.58&plusmn;154.25) g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. From the 6th day, the deposition 

volume steadily increased, with the deposition rate larger than the decomposition rate. 

Through the 15-day continuous in situ observation, the content of TP in nearshore zone 

was 2-3 folds larger than that of offshore zone, and the content of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N was significantly different from that of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the 

settlement bottle (P&lt;0.01). The deposition volume was significantly and positively 

correlated to both TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N contents in the water column 

(P&lt;0.01, n=42), suggesting that the TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N contents in 

the overlying water increased with the deposition fluxes. The correlation coefficient 

between TN and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was 0.84, implicating that the increase of 

deposition flux may accelerate the mutual transformation between different forms of 

nitrogen. These findings should be taken into account in the current control of black 

blooms and nutrient management in Taihu Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to compare the differences in carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas 

mitigation between straw and straw-derived biochar amendment, a field experiment was 

conducted with simultaneous measurement of carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>), methane 

(CH<inf>4</inf>) and nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) emissions, crop yield, soil organic 

carbon (SOC) content and net global warming potential (NGWP) in a wheat-maize rotation 

cropping system from the loess plateau of China. Five treatments were included: control 

(no straw incorporation, no straw-derived biochar amendment and no fertilization, CK), 

fertilization (no straw incorporation and no straw-derived biochar amendment, F), straw 

with fertilization (wheat straw incorporated at 8 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, FS), low 

straw-derived biochar (8 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) with fertilization (FBlow) and high 

straw-derived biochar (16 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) with fertilization (FBhigh). Wheat 

yield increased by 30.9%, 66.3% and 36.6% under FS, FBlow and FBhigh treatment, as 

compared to the F treatment, respectively. However, maize yield decreased by 14.1%, 18.0% 

and 24.6% under FS, CK and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. 

There was no significant difference between FBlow and F treatment. Annual 

CO<inf>2</inf>emission increased by 60.2% under FS treatment, but decreased by 14.4% 

under FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. Annual 

N<inf>2</inf>O emission decreased by 27.6% and 38.7% under FBlow and FBhigh treatment as 

compared to the F treatment, respectively. However, no significant difference was 

observed under straw application. Overall, the NGWP decreased by 24.13 and 58.44 

t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>under FBlow and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, 

respectively. And the NGHGI decreased by 1.78 and 5.06 t&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>under FBlow 

and FBhigh treatment as compared to the F treatment, respectively. In summary, we 

conclude that the fertilization with 16 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>biochar amendment can be 

used as an effective management to improve the crop yield and reduce the net global 

warming potential under the wheat-maize rotation system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:A suitable fractionation method of phosphorus (P) is a key to effective 

assessment of soil P componential features. Here a new biologically-based P (BBP) method 

was used to evaluate the P fractions in the upland and paddy soils across large-scale 

area in China. The soil P was divided into four components: (1) soluble or rhizosphere-

intercepted (CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P), (2)organic acid activated and inorganic weakly bound 

(Citrate-P), (3) enzyme mineralization of organic P (Enzyme-P), (4)potential activation 

of inorganic P (HCl-P). Then, the relationships between biologically-based P fractions 

and standard Olsen-P were investigated, and driving factors of P fractions were 

identified. The results showed that P content was in order of HCl-P&gt;Citrate-

P&gt;Enzyme-P&gt;CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P. All P components of upland soil displayed higher 

levels than those of paddy soil. Moreover, the P components were highly positively 

correlated with the Olsen-P, suggesting that each P component contributed to soil P 

availability. However, it was found that Olsen-P was most highly correlated with 

CaCl<inf>2</inf>-P and Enzyme-P (R<sup>2</sup>=0.359; R<sup>2</sup>=0.386) in upland 

soil, while Olsen-P was most highly with Citrate-P (R<sup>2</sup>=0.788) in paddy soil. 

This result indicated that available P of upland soil was mainly from organic P 

mineralization and soluble P, and available P in paddy soil was mainly from inorganic P 

activation. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the P components were mainly affected 

by soil pH and silt content, which suggested that it could enhance the P availability via 

regulating soil pH in the agricultural activities. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Site remediation has become an imperative part of environmental protection in 

China due to recent economic development, urban spreading, new industries replacing old 

ones, relocation of old industrial sites, and increased environmental conscience. This 

paper mainly introduced the concept, method, calculation, risk assessment and management 

for polluted sites remediation based on experience from California, USA. Further, the 

paper presented the concept of vapor intrusion and how to use vapor intrusion methodology 

to determine site remediation standard. Mathematical modeling approaches were also 

discussed in terms of how to determine the residual pollutant concentrations in soil and 

how to calculate indoor vapor concentrations. Based on risk assessment, California 

Environmental Protection Agency, Water Resources Control Board issued a 'Low Threat 

Underground Storage Tank Case Closure Policy'for impacted underground storage tank sites. 

The numerical criteria in the Policy were based on calculations of human health risk 

assessment. Finally, a real case study in California, USA, was presented to demonstrate 

how the risk assessment calculations were applied in polluted site remediation, which 

helps to answer the question of 'how clean is clean'. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Returning straw to the field provides an important source of fertilizer that can 

increase soil fertility. However, the rate of straw carbon utilization is low and large 

amounts of greenhouse gases are emitted due to the high carbon to nitrogen ratio of the 

straw mass. In this regard, the application of inorganic nitrogen and phosphate 

fertilizers can control the ratio of elements in the soil, increase the activity of 

microorganisms and their utilization of elements, and promote the improvement of soil 

fertility. In this study, straw application conditions were simulated, and inorganic 

nitrogen fertilizer labeled with<sup>15</sup>N was added to examine the effects of 

different nutrient fertilizer additions on the transformation and distribution of 

exogenous nitrogen in the soil, and also the characteristics of the microbial response. 

The results showed that application of straw increased the contents of ammonia nitrogen 

and total nitrogen in the soil and soil solution. When both straw and inorganic nitrogen 

fertilizer were applied, the<sup>15</sup>N-TN in the soil remained at 28 to 33 &mu;g 

during the 100-day culture phase. In contrast,<sup>15</sup>N-NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>increased gradually during the initial 30 days of the culture phase, but 

subsequently decreased gradually. Application of phosphate increased the contents 

of<sup>15</sup>N-TN and<sup>15</sup>N-NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>in the soil, but 

decreased the content of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil solution by 28%. The distribution of 

inorganic nitrogen in the soil showed that the proportion of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil 

remained at 52%-61%. Addition of phosphate fertilizer increased the distribution ratio 

of<sup>15</sup>N in the soil by up to 16.5%, whereas the proportion of<sup>15</sup>N in 

the soil solution decreased from 36% on the fifth day to 30% on the 100<sup>th</sup>day, 

thereby the loss amount of<sup>15</sup>N reduced by 1.2-fold. Addition of straw promoted 

microbial activity and significantly increased the microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) 

content of the soil. Addition of inorganic fertilizer further promoted the microbial 

activity of the soil. After the 100-day culture experiment, the addition of straw, 

inorganic nitrogen, and phosphate fertilizer increased MBN to between 2.0-fold and 2.2-

fold that of the control treatments. Addition of phosphate fertilizer increased the 

utilization of<sup>15</sup>N by microorganisms, so that the amount of<sup>15</sup>N-MBN 

was 1.5-fold higher than that of treatments where only straw and nitrogen fertilizer were 

added. Examination of soil enzyme activity showed that nitrogen fertilizer reduced soil 

enzyme activity and substrate affinity. When both nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers were 

added, the enzyme activity was 48.1% higher than that when only straw was added. The 

findings of this study thus provide a theoretical basis for furthering our understanding 

on the nitrogen cycle of the paddy soil ecosystem, the improvement of soil fertility, and 

the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Total concentrations of 15 metal elements in the surface sediments of Yundang 

Lagoon in Xiamen were determined using ICP-MS. The fractions were extracted by a modified 

BCR method. The results indicated that in different areas of Yundang Lagoon, the order of 

the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Sr, Pb, Zn and U was: outer lagoon&gt;ditch&gt;inner 

lagoon, the order for Cr, Co, Ni, V, Fe, Li, Rb and Mn was: inner lake&gt;outer 

lake&gt;ditch. Cu, Zn and Pb were mainly in the reducible phase; Cd was mainly in the 

acid soluble-extractable and reducible phases; Co, Ni, U, Fe and Mn were mainly in the 

reducible and residual phases; Li, V, Cr, Rb and Ba were dominated by residual phase. The 

potential ecological risk of metal elements suggested that V, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd and 

Pb were at a low potential ecological risk level. The results of ratio of secondary phase 

to primary phase (RSP) assessment indicated that Cu, Cd and Zn showed high pollution 

level; Pb showed moderate pollution level; Co, Mn, Sr and U were in a low polluted 

condition; Ni, Fe, Cr, V, Li, Ba and Rb showed no pollution. In general, Yundang Lagoon 

was in a low potential ecological risk. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Lithology is a key factor when used to restore vegetation in karst degraded 

ecosystems, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria play an 

important role in improving plant growth. However, little information is available 

regarding the effects of lithology on these two groups of microorganisms. To test whether 

these microbial communities are impacted by lithology, the abundance and composition of 

soil AM fungal and nitrogen-fixing bacteria communities were determined through terminal 

restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and real-time fluorescence-based 

quantitative PCR (real-time PCR). Three types of lithology (dolomite, limestone and 

dolomite-limestone) were selected in this study. The diversity, richness, and evenness of 

plant species were evaluated through field surveys and soil properties were measured. The 

results showed that the abundances of soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular 

mycorrhizal fungal communities were significantly influenced by lithology. The abundances 

of these two groups of microorganisms were the lowest in dolomite soil, inferior to 

dolomite-limestone soil, while highest in limestone soil. Similarly, the composition of 

soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria and AM fungi communities varied among lithology. A 

significant linear correlation was observed among soil organic carbon, available 

phosphorus, clay content and nitrogen-fixing bacterial abundance (P&lt;0.05), and a 

significant linear correlation among total nitrogen, clay content and AM fungal abundance 

(P&lt;0.05). Redundancy analysis showed that the composition of nitrogen-fixing bacterial 

community was closely linked to plant evenness, and the AM fungal community composition 

was closely linked to plant diversity (plant evenness, Shannon-wiener and richness). 

These results indicated that lithology influenced the abundances and compositions of soil 

nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities mainly 

through plant and soil properties. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Urban environmental pollution can be revealed by the magnetic characteristics of 

street dust. Environmental magnetic measurements were carried out for the 151 samples of 

street dust collected in different functional zones of Xi'an city. Magnetic 

susceptibility varied within the range between 169.5&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 977.48&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and the &chi;<inf>lf</inf>average value was 

415.66&times;10<sup>-8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, which was 10 times 

higher than that of the background value. Isothermal remanent magnetization varied within 

the range between 2005.31&times;10<sup>-5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>and 10897.64&times;10<sup>-5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

and the SIRM average value was 5105.99&times;10<sup>-

5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The average value of frequency-

dependent magnetic susceptibility was 1.30, which was extremely low. The SIRM curve was 

consistent with &chi;<inf>lf</inf>curve. The results indicated a high concentration of 

magnetic minerals in street dust. The magnetic minerals were mainly low-coercivity 

ferrimagnetic (magnetite and maghemite) and anti-ferromagnetic minerals (hematite), which 

contributed to the magnetic susceptibility. The main domains of magnetic minerals were 

composed of multiple domain (MD) and pseudo-single domain (PSD) ferrimagnetic minerals 

demonstrating the pollution of environment. According to the spatial distribution of 

magnetic properties of street dust and the different functional zones of Xi'an city, 

seven districts (A, B, C, D, E, F and G areas) were divided, which were summarized as 

three pollution types: heavily polluted, moderately polluted and lightly polluted. In the 

ecological district of Baqiao (F area) which was heavily polluted, &chi;<inf>lf</inf>, 

SIRM and soft values were all the highest in the seven areas, and the main pollution 

sources were industry and vehicle emission. &chi;<inf>lf</inf>, SIRM and soft values were 

slightly higher in the high-tech industrial district (A area) and the central business 

and commerce district (B area), which was moderately polluted by industry and vehicle 

emission. However, the magnetic parameters were relatively low in the functional zones of 

education, tourism and culture (C, D, E and G area), demonstrating that these areas were 

only slightly polluted by vehicle emission. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Automatic aeration and recirculation of effluent were used to start CANON 

process with up flow sludge bed reactor, and the start-up and operation characteristics 

of the process were studied. The results showed that the CANON process could be started 

quickly and stably by the method of reoxygenation reflux under the conditions of sludge 

volume fraction 25%, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N 157 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, HRT 2 h. 

After 50 days of operation, the total nitrogen removal rate increased from 1.31 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 1.47 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>; the reoxygenation reflux manner could effectively 

control the amount of dissolved oxygen in the reactor, resulting in DO&lt;0.01 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which had a good inhibitory effect on the NOB in the system, 

and meanwhile provided a good growth environment for AnAOB; By controlling the reflux 

flow, the production rate of NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>could be precisely controlled, 

reaching a good balance with NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>consumption rates, and thus 

avoiding the accumulation of NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>and occurrence of nitration 

reactions. Therefore, reoxygenation reflux CANON process showed a great advantage in the 

operation stability, which provided a new model for the start-up and stable operation of 

CANON process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Understanding the effects of acidic materials on the N transformations becomes 

of critical importance to choose the additives with preserving nitrogen during the manure 

composting. A 40 d static composting experiment was conducted in the laboratory to 

explore the effects of acidic materials on changes of temperature, pH, EC (electrical 

conductivity), GI (germination index), N compounds and TOC (total organic carbon) during 

the composting of pig manure and wheat straw. Three acidic materials were selected as the 

additives, including phosphate fertilizer (P), rotten apples (A) and vinegar (V). The 

results showed that the duration with temperature higher than 50&#8451; in four 

treatments all exceeded ten days and reached the health standard of high temperature 

composting. The addition of phosphate fertilizer delayed the time of the pile entering 

into the high temperature stage, decreased the pH, and increased the EC during the whole 

composting. On a mass basis, 53.1%, 36.2%, 46.5% and 41.5% of original amount of N in CK, 

P, A and V were lost during the first 16 d, but there was still 20% N loss during 16-24 d 

in P and V treatments. The NH<inf>3</inf>-N loss accounted for 26.0%, 11.8%, 21.5% and 

20.2% of the N loss. The addition of acidic materials effectively reduced the N loss and 

the emissions of NH<inf>3</inf>, and the phosphate fertilizer showed the best effect. In 

the end of composting, the GI all exceeded 80%, and met maturity requirements. &copy;

Abstract:A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated with alternating anaerobic/oxic 

(An/O) condition to investigate the nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance of EBPR 

with DO=1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the phosphorus recovery effect at extracting side 

stream ratio of 0, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 anaerobic phosphorus supernatant. The removal efficiency 

of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was found to be relatively stable during all experimental 

stages but effluent COD of the system during later period remained as high as 81.3 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. In the absence of side stream, the average phosphorus removal 

efficiency was 89.4% and increased to 98.5% and 99.0% when the side stream ratio was 1/4 

and 1/3, respectively. However, the phosphorus removal performance began to fluctuate 

with side stream ratio of 1/2 and the lowest phosphorus removal rate was 65.4%. During 

each experimental stage, only one day effluent TP failed to meet the national wastewater 

discharge standard A with side stream ratio of 1/3 in the initial period. Besides, 93.3% 

of effluent TP which could meet the national standard with side stream ratio of 1/3 was 

far better than 45.5% of that with side stream ratio of 1/2. Nevertheless, the phosphorus 

recovery rate improved with the increase of side stream ratio. It was also observed that 

the TN removal rate dramatically decreased to 50.9% when the side stream ratio increased 

to 1/2. Consequently, a side stream ratio of 1/3 was found to be the optimal condition in 

the whole experimental stage, and EBPR system under low dissolved oxygen condition 

combined with phosphorus recovery through extracting side stream could greatly improve 

the economic and environmental benefits. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The products of non-hazardous commercial sewage sludge were utilized in the 

accordance of the national standard in the experiment with sandy fluvo-aquic soil under 

wheat-maize rotation system during 2013 to 2015. The experiment focused on the effects of 

the use of non-hazardous sewage sludge on soil carbon pool and carbon pool management 

index to provide theoretical and technical basis for the resource utilization of non-

hazardous sewage sludge. The results showed that compared with CK, soil amended sludge 

significantly improved soil total organic carbon (TOC), soil microbial biomass carbon 

(SMBC), labile organic carbon (LOC), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to 8.40-14.74 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 164.45-257.45 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 3.58-4.88 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 81.16-101.58 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, soil amended sludge 

significantly enhanced SMBC, LOC and DOC by 84.00%-188.07%, 26.26%-58.03%, and 109.58%-

185.39% (P&lt;0.05) respectively, and 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>sewage sludge (W3) had 

the most significant impact on soil carbon pool. The soil microbial entropy (SMBC/TOC), 

and utilization of labile organic carbon (LOC/TOC) increased by 8.02%-2.77% and 13.75%-

46.48% respectively, and the utilization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC/TOC) 

significantly decreased by 153.45%-195.40% (P&lt;0.05). SMBC/TOC, LOC/TOC, and DOC/TOC 

declined in treatments of soil amended sludge due to increased application of sewage 

sludge, which indicated that soil amended with 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of the sewage 

sludge improved the content of stable carbon resulting in the decease of the ratio. L and 

LI decreased with the increasing amount of sewage sludge indicating that soil amended 

with 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>of the sewage sludge improved the content of stable 

carbon and was conducive to the accumulation of organic carbon. Soil amended with sludge 

significantly increased carbon pool management index (CMPI) by 153.45%-195.40% 

(P&lt;0.05), and W3 had the most significant effect on CMPI. Compared with TOC, CMPI 

could be more sensitive and direct to reflect the dynamic changes of soil nutrients and 

carbon pools through the correlation analysis and redundancy analysis. In summary, the 

application of 15-45 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>sewage sludge could significantly enhance 

the soil carbon pool and carbon pool management index, especially 45 t&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>sewage sludge (W3). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A reactivity-based anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission 

inventory in China in 2010 was developed on the basis of ozone formation potential (OFP), 

using the latest VOCs emission inventory, source profiles and maximum incremental 

reactivity (MIR) values. The results showed that the total anthropogenic OFP was 84187.61 

kt in China in 2010, of which 6 882.53 kt was from alkanes, 41496.92 kt from 

alkenes/alkynes, 32945.32 kt from aromatic hydrocarbons, 161.45 kt from halocarbons, and 

2701.40 kt from oxygenated organics. The top 10 species in terms of OFP consisted of 

propene, ethene, m/p-xylene, toluene, 1-butene, o-xylene, 1,2,4-trimethyl benzene, 1,3-

butadiene, m-ethyl toluene and ethyl benzene, contributing 63.95% to the total OFP but 

only 31.84% to the mass-based emission. Industrial sources accounted for the largest 

(49.29%) of the total OFP, followed by transportation sources (28.31%) and agricultural 

sources (22.40%). The key industrial sources with high reactivity were architectural 

decoration industry, oil refinery industry, storage and transport, machinery equipment 

industry, transport equipment industry and printing. Passenger cars, motorcycles and 

heavy duty vehicles were the major OFP sources of transportation. The two biomass burning 

sources were both the key OFP sources of agriculture. Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong, 

Zhejiang and Henan were the top five provinces with contributions of 39.65% of the total 

OFP in China. The reactivity-based emission inventory in this study would be of great 

significance for the formulation of reactivity-based ozone (O<inf>3</inf>) control 

strategies in China. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Bioaccumulation factor (BAF)plays a key role in identification of 

bioaccumulative substance and in assessment of chemical risks. In order to reveal the 

bioaccumulation behavior of fish in Dongjiang River, sediment, water and fish samples 

were collected from Dongjiang River and PBDEs, DBDPE, DP, TBBPA and HBCDs were measured. 

The ranges of lgBAF were 5.0-7.4, 6.1-7.1, 4.6-7.9, 2.6-4.6 and 4.8-7.7, respectively. In 

the present study, most HFRs had a lgBAF of higher than 3.7, which suggested that they 

might be bioaccumulative. The BAF values of HFRs increased with increasing 

lgK<inf>ow</inf>, when lgK<inf>ow</inf>&gt;7, the bioaccumulation extent decreased with 

the increase of lgK<inf>ow</inf>. Biotransformation of &gamma;-HBCD toward &alpha;-HBCD 

and the metabolism of BDE66 and BDE99 of these isomers might attribute to the deviation 

from the general trend predicted by K<inf>ow</inf>. More attention should be paid to 

DBDPE, since its BAF value was higher than that of BDE209. The BSAF values of most PBDEs, 

DBDPE, DP, TBBPA and HBCDs congeners in three fish species were less than 1, indicating 

that these compounds were unlikely to become a source of pollution to the aquatic 

organisms due to the poor bioavailability. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Through the environmental factors impact experiments, such as current intensity, 

initial pH value of the reaction solution, and the type and concentration of the 

electrolyte, effect and mechanism of electrochemically enhanced removal of nitrobenzene 

from aqueous solution on activated carbon fibers (ACF)-ozone technique were studied. The 

result showed that compared with the ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system, the removal efficiency of 

NB in electrochemically enhanced ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system was significantly improved. The 

effect of current intensity on the NB removal efficiency in the electrochemically 

enhanced ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system was not significant. O<inf>3</inf>concentration had some 

effect on the NB removal efficiency. The pH value of the initial reaction solution had a 

great influence on the catalytic activity of ACF in ACF-O<inf>3</inf>system. The presence 

of inorganic salts such as sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate and sodium chloride inhibited 

the catalytic ability of ACF in O<inf>3</inf>system. In addition, ACF was destroyed by 

ozone and the promoting effect of ACF was reduced. When the cathode electric field was 

applied on the surface of ACF, the removal effect of the organic compounds by ACF-

O<inf>3</inf>was improved significantly and the structure of ACF was not destroyed by 

ozone. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This paper analyzed 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans

(PCDD/Fs) by HRGC/HRMS in the flue gas of a certain municipal solid waste incinerator

(MSWI) and its surrounding air and other possible sources in Guangdong. It discussed the 

feature of homologs and main toxic monomers in all samples. It also investigated the 

relationship among surrounding area, MSWI and possible sources using principle component 

analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. The results showed that the concentration of PCDD/Fs 

was higher in the flue gas than the ambient air, moreover non-effect suffered by 

prevailing wind direction. The possible sources might be tyre factory and open burning 

based on spot survey. The concentration of PCDD/Fs was lower in tyre factory than upwind 

station, but higher at open burning spot than outdrop monitoring station. The analysis of 

homologs showed that OCDD, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HpCDD and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HpCDF were 

the main materials in the flue gas and air, meanwhile OCDF was also found in atmosphere. 

There was similar feature of 17 PCDD/Fs between surrounding monitoring station and tyre 

factory, and the same between flue gas and open burning. The further analysis showed that 

the linearly dependent coefficients of 1, 2, 3, 7, 8-PeCDD and 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-HxCDF 

were 0.95 and 0.75, respectively. It showed the strong correlation of two monomers in all 

ambient air samples. The PCA and cluster analysis showed that MSWI influenced the 

surrounding air, tyre factory had an impact on upwind station, and open burning had a 

lower effect on outdrop monitoring station. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Sediment columns in the southeast and east of Dianchi Lake were taken as the 

object of the study to determine ages by<sup>210</sup>Pb dating method. The contents and 

sediment fluxes of total organic carbon (TOC) and n-alkanes of the sediments were 

investigated, and organic sources were tracked according to the relevant indexes of n-

alkanes. The results indicated that TOC contents and sediment fluxes of two sampling 

sediments both presented an increasing trend on the whole; Sediment fluxes of n-alkanes 

varied as three stages: increasing period, decreasing period and re-increasing period. 

When the sediment fluxes of n-alkanes and TOC both went up, it showed that they had the 

same sources: sediments in the lake and carried by the rivers; From 1980s to the end of 

20<sup>th</sup>century, sediment fluxes of n-alkanes were going down while those of TOC 

were going up. This result means there was a big difference in the sources of n-alkanes 

and TOC. The bacteria and algae in the lake made a great contribution to n-alkanes while 

TOC was mainly influenced by sediments in the lake and carried by the rivers. n-alkanes 

of the two sampling sites both ranged from C<inf>12</inf>to C<inf>35</inf>. Based on the 

basic features and relevant indexes of n-alkanes, we proposed that emergent plants made 

big contributions to the sources of organic matter in the sediments of Dianchi Lake, 

simultaneously, bacteria and algae had significant contributions to the sources of 

organic matter in shallow depth of Dianchi Lake. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The soil and water loss problem in rock mining areas is an extremely serious 

problem, and microbes play significant roles in ecological restoration of those areas. In 

this study, directive screening was used to explore the efficiency of microbe-mediated 

habitat restoration and the underlying mechanisms. A bacterial strain NLX-4, which was 

then identified as Pseudomonas protegens according to its 16S rRNA gene sequence, was 

screened out as an efficient silicate dissolution bacterium with the ability to secrete 

siderophore and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Moreover, pH value, element (K, Al, Si) 

release, organic acid content, amino acid concentration, polysaccharide content, and rock 

particle diameter variation in culture medium were analyzed to explore the ability of P. 

protegens NLX-4 to promote dolomite dissolution under controlled experimental conditions. 

These results showed that P. protegens NLX-4 could play a positive role in dolomite 

dissolution by producing tartaric acid (&gt;777 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and 

polysaccharides (&gt;8.21g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). Therefore, P. protegens NLX-4 is an 

efficient microbial resource that can be used in rehabilitation of abandoned mines and 

has great application potential. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of phosphorus removal in water, Mg/Al-layered double 

hydroxides (Mg/Al-LDHs) were synthesized via optimized constant pH co-precipitation 

method, and highly efficient phosphorus adsorbent Mg/Al-layered double oxide(Mg/Al-LDO) 

was obtained when it was calcined at high temperature. Based on the adsorption 

characteristics of phosphorus removal, the study combined Zeta potential, X-ray 

diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze the 

changes of isoelectric point, crystal structure and functional group before and after 

adsorption. In addition, Mg/Al-LDO of phosphorus adsorption mechanism was discussed. The 

results indicated that using the optimized co-precipitation method in the conditions of 

Mg/Al=2&#8758;1, calcination temperature 450&#8451;, and calcination time 2 h, the 

Mg/Al-LDO adsorption capacity of phosphate was the best, and the maximum adsorption 

capacity could reach 176.94 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which was basically consistent with 

the theoretical adsorption capacity of 191.57 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, far higher than 

those of Mg/Al-LDHs and other phosphorus adsorbents. The results showed that the 

experimental data has the best fitting result with pseudo-second-order kinetics model. 

The adsorption process was consistent with Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The 

results of Zeta potential, XRD and FTIR showed that phosphorus adsorption of Mg/Al-LDO 

was accomplished co-operatively by electrostatic attraction, anion in layer, ions 

exchange, and surface co-ordination. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Vegetations grow vigorously in the water-level-fluctuating zone (WLFZ) of Three 

Gorges Reservoir (TGR) during the non-flooded period. Low molecular weight organic acids 

(LMWOAs) excreted from the roots of these plants may active the heavy metals in soil. In 

order to investigate the desorption kinetics of Pb in the vegetation covered soil of TGR, 

the LMWOAs released from Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa crusgalli roots, which are the 

dominant species in WLFZ, were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. 

Furthermore, single and mixed species of LMWOAs were also used in the simulation. The 

results showed that the variety and content of LMWOAs secreted from Cynodon dactylon 

roots were larger and higher than those of Echinochloa crusgalli. Citric acid, malonic 

acid, acetic acid and malic acid were the same LMWOAs released from the two types of 

plants. The contents of acetic acid were the highest among all LMWOAs, which were 0.765 

and 0.261 mmol&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa crusgalli roots, 

respectively.Citric acid, malonic acid and acetic acid were the same LMWOAs detected from 

their rhizosphere soils. In the citric acid, malonic acid and acetic acid desorption 

test, the desorption captivities of Pb were inhibited when the concentration of LMWOAs 

was lower than 1 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The desorption ability displayed a 

decreasing order of malonic acid&gt;citric acid&gt;acetic acid. However, the three LMWOAs 

promoted the desorption of Pb in soil when their concentrations were higher than 1 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The desorption ability displayed a decreasing 

order of citric acid&gt;malonic acid&gt;acetic acid. During the entire process of 

desorption, 0-240 min was the fast reaction stage, and the remaining time was the slow 

reaction stage. The pseudo-second order kinetics equation could fit best for the kinetic 

process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite was synthesized by modifying calcium-

based bentonite with Nano-TiO<inf>2</inf>. The products before and after modification 

were characterized via the approach of X-ray power diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron 

microscope(SEM).The effect of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on mercury removal from 

aqueous solutions of HgCl<inf>2</inf>was studied at different dosage, pH, adsorption time 

and the initial concentration of Hg<sup>2+</sup>was investigated and compared with the 

bentonite by indoor simulation experiment, as well as the orthogonal experiments to 

determine the optimal condition of Hg<sup>2+</sup>adsorption. The experimental results 

showed: after modified by TiO<inf>2</inf>, TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite particles 

were apparently smaller, the basal spacing was increased and with a loose and porous 

structure. The adsorption rates of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on 

Hg<sup>2+</sup>were increased compared with bentonite. The Hg<sup>2+</sup>adsorption 

rates were increased with the increasing dosages, pH and adsorption time. The adsorption 

rates were higher than 98.0% when the dosage was 1.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, pH 7.0, and 

the adsorption time was 120 min. The adsorption rates became smaller with increasing 

initial concentration of Hg<sup>2+</sup>. False secondary dynamic equation could describe 

the adsorption of TiO<inf>2</inf>/bentonite composite on Hg<sup>2+</sup>, and the 

chemical adsorption was dominant. The adsorption isotherm of Hg<sup>2+</sup>conformed to 

Langmuir equation, indicating that the adsorption of Hg<sup>2+</sup>was typical monolayer 

adsorption. The optimal experimental condition was: dosage of 2.0 g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, pH 8.0, adsorption time of 16 h and the initial Hg<sup>2+</sup>concentration of 

45 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Under this condition, the adsorption rate was 99.9%, and the 

equilibrium concentration of Hg<sup>2+</sup>was 0.034 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. &copy;

Abstract:To get a better understanding of the microbial autotrophic carbon sequestration 

potential of paddy fields and its mechanisms, soil incubation experiment was conducted 

for four representative paddy soils. The molecular biological methods [quantitative PCR 

(qPCR), clone library and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) 

technique] based on cbbL and cbbM genes encoding the key enzymes [ribulose-1, 5-

bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO)] of Calvin cycle were used to determine the 

abundance and diversity of autotrophic microbes. The results showed that, after 45 days 

of incubation, carbon dioxide fixation autotrophic microbial abundances were generally 

increased compared with those before incubation, and cbbL gene abundances were 

approximately three magnitudes higher than those of cbbM. Dominant microbial populations 

varied among the four paddy soils, and most of these OTUs were distantly related to known 

sequences, only part of them could be grouped into Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. RDA 

analysis results showed that soil organic carbon (SOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), 

pH, clay, silk and sand content had significant effects on the CO<inf>2</inf>fixation 

microbial community. Consequently, the results of this study provide significant 

reference to understand the role of microorganisms in carbon cycle process. The results 

are helpful for providing a scientific basis for scientific management of paddy soil 

fertility and low carbon agriculture construction. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Based on water quality monitoring data of Lake Erhai from 1990 to 2013, the 

yearly and seasonally response characteristics of algal chlorophyll-a to total nitrogen 

(TN), total phosphorus (TP) and water temperature was investigated using quantile 

regression method. It indicated that water temperature was always the primary limiting 

factor of algal biomass indicated by chlorophyll a (Chl-a) across recent 24 years, but 

its limiting effect on algal Chl-a content was kept descending sharply and replaced much 

by nutrients (e.g. P, N) with the increasing eutrophic level. Especially the slope values 

of TP on Chl-a were kept ascending from -0.3 to 0.8. Since 2002, the positive effect of 

TN on Chl-a presented slow descending tendency, and P became the most important limiting 

nutrient factor of algal growth. According to the seasonal variation analysis, water 

temperature and N had dominant effects on algal Chl-a in spring and autumn, but they were 

replaced by P in the case of Chl-a&gt;8 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in spring. In summer, N 

and P had strong interactive impacts on the algal growth, and the positive effect of P 

was stronger than that of N in the case of Chl-a&gt;3 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. In 

winter, algal biomass was co-limited by temperature and P. It suggested that P reduction 

is the prior choice of eutrophication control of Lake Erhai, and simultaneously reducing 

N load is necessary in the background of global warming. In addition,so far a emergency 

controlling measure should be taken to monitor algal blooming due to sharp ascending of 

water temperature within a few days in spring and autumn. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The single-stage A/O and multi-stage A/O processes were simulated by sequencing 

batch reactors (SBRs) with alternate stirring and aeration. The removal efficiency of 

nitrogen and the release mechanism of N<inf>2</inf>O were studied under the identical 

conditions of influent quality, hydraulic retention time (HRT), sludge retention time

(SRT), temperature and anoxic/oxic (A/O) retention time ratio. Experimental results 

showed that COD or ammonia-nitrogen removal had no significant difference between the 

single-stage and the multi-stage A/O processes for the influent quality equivalent to 

municipal wastewater. However, TN removal efficiency of the former was better than the 

later with 72.1% and 52.2%, respectively. In the conversion of total nitrogen, during the 

typical cycle in the single-stage A/O and multi-stage A/O processes, the yields of 

N<inf>2</inf>O were 16.95 mg and 3.95 mg, respectively. The conversion rate, which is the 

ratio of N<inf>2</inf>O yield and TN removal, was respectively 11.47% and 4.11%. 

N<inf>2</inf>O production and emission occurred mainly in aerobic (nitrification) phase 

while there was little N<inf>2</inf>O emission in anoxic (denitrification) phase. 

Although the dominant species of AOB was both Nitrosomonas in the single-stage A/O and 

the multi-stage A/O processes under the same operating conditions, it was more conducive 

to the growth of nitrifying bacteria (AOB, NOB) in the single-stage A/O process with the 

greater abundance of Nitrosomonas. Meanwhile, the type and abundance of NOB in the 

single-stage A/O process were significantly more than in the multi-stage A/O process too. 

Therefore, it is more competitive to deal with the high-strengthening ammonia-nitrogen 

wastewater in the single-stage A/O process. In the actual operation of wastewater 

treatment, using appropriate partitions of A/O or oxygen-supplying modes can not only 

result in better nitrogen removal but also decrease the secondary pollution caused by 

N<inf>2</inf>O to the atmosphere. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on environmental statistical data and emission factor, an anthropogenic 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission inventory was established for the Chang-Zhu-

Tan region, and a grid with spatial resolution of 3 km&times;3 km was built according to 

the spatial feature data. Ozone formation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol 

(SOA) formation potential of anthropogenic sources were also estimated. The results 

showed that the total anthropogenic VOCs emission was about 113.49 kt in Chang-Zhu-Tan 

region and the main sources were industrial processes, solvent utilization and vehicles 

with the VOCs emission of 35.88 kt, 28.72 kt and 22.13 kt, respectively. Paving pitch and 

architecture wall painting accounted for the majority of the solvent utilization and the 

building materials industry accounted for 75.34% of VOCs emission from the industrial 

processes. Liling was the largest contributor compared to the other cities in Chang-Zhu-

Tan region, where the VOCs emission from these anthropogenic sources in 2014 was 16.58 

kt. The total OFP of these sources was 375.33 kt, in which solvent utilization 

contributed 27.28% and the O<inf>3</inf>generative capacity of biomass burning was the 

largest. Solvent utilization contributed 35.35% to the total SOA formation potentials and 

its SOA generative capacity was also the largest. The spatial distribution 

characteristics revealed that the VOCs emission mostly originated from urban area. &copy;

Abstract:Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has potential in recovering bioelectricity 

from different types of waste, which attracts more and more attention in the field of 

environment and energy. However, low power density, high cost and low substrate 

degradation rate, closely associated with anode performance, limit its practical 

application. In this study, proportional polyaniline (PANI) together with graphene was 

chosen to obtain the PANI dopped graphene composite. The as-received composite was 

modified onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The results of electrochemical 

analysis showed that the optimal mass ratio of graphene was 20% for cyclic voltammetry 

(CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis. The anodes with 5% graphene produced a 

peak power density of (831&plusmn;45) mW&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>, which was 1.2, 1.3, 1.3, 

1.5, 1.8 times of those with 20% graphene, 1% graphene, graphene, PANI and carbon cloth, 

respectively. Moreover, 5% graphene reactors showed the maximum values in output voltage, 

open-circuit voltage (OCV), chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate, coulombic 

efficiency (CE), and biomass density. The polarization resistance was only (24&plusmn;2) 

&Omega; in 5% graphene reactors, which was 19.8% of that of carbon cloth. The results of 

electrochemical analysis were not consistent with those of bioelectrochemical analysis, 

demonstrating that the biocompatibility of electrode was one of the important factors 

affecting MFC performance. 5% graphene anode showed full advantages of graphene and PANI, 

which improved the performance of MFC. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Zirconium modified diatomite was obtained by modifying raw diatomite with 

zirconium and the mass fraction of zirconia was 12.39% in the obtained material, which 

was proved to be amorphous via XRD. SEM images showed that porous floccules covered the 

surface of diatomite after modification and the specific surface area of the zirconium 

modified diatomite was 75.22 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, larger than that of raw 

diatomite (14.00 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). XPS spectra indicated that 

zirconia and diatomite were bonded together through chemical linkage, rather than 

physical deposition. The adsorption isotherm of phosphate by zirconium modified diatomite 

was fitted better to the Langmuir model with a calculated maximum adsorption capacity 

reaching 10.56 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The adsorption amount of zirconium oxide 

component in the material was estimated to be 81.67 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>ZrO<inf>2</inf>, which was higher than that of pure zirconium oxides reported in 

previous studies. The adsorption amount of phosphate by zirconium modified diatomite 

decreased with the increase of pH. The adsorption was proved to be a ligand exchange 

process, supported by the XPS spectra of Zr3d region before and after adsorption. 

Chloride ion, sulfate ion and nitrate ion did not inhibit the adsorption of phosphate on 

the material, whereas coexistence of bicarbonate ions competed with phosphate ions to a 

certain extent. When treating eutrophic lake water with a phosphate concentration of 2 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the phosphate concentration level could meet the &#8546; rank 

of Surface Water Environment Quality Standard of China by adopting the dosage of 

zirconium modified diatomite &ge; 1.25 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In suit inundation experiments of three typical herbaceous plants were conducted 

in field to investigate the mercury release characteristics of plants grown in the 

water-level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir after flooding by regulating 

the water level. To realize this objective, this study mainly focused on the dynamic 

change of total mercury (THg) concentrations in plants after inundation, the release rate 

and flux of THg from plants and its release load in this region. The results showed that 

the release process of THg in plants fitted exponential curve, suggesting that mercury 

release rate was quick in the initial inundation period and then flat afterwards as the 

decomposing plants. The THg release amounts (followed the order of Alternanthera 

philoxeroides&gt;Polygonum lapathifolium&gt;Cynodon dactylon) were probably influenced by 

initial C/N ratio and THg concentrations of plants. The decrement of THg concentrations 

in per unit mass of plants residue was found to be generally proportional to their 

initial C/N ratio, while the THg release amounts were generally proportional to the 

initial THg concentrations of plants. The total release loads of three plants 

(Alternanthera philoxeroides, Polygonum lapathifolium, Cynodon dactylon) were estimated 

to be 167.31, 78.13 and 88.33 mg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, according to their 

weight distribution and biomass in the water-level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges

Abstract:To study the chemical composition and pollution sources of the fine particulate 

matter during the four seasons in Nanning, single particle aerosol mass spectrometry was 

performed to characterize the fine particulate matter in Nanning during the four seasons. 

The correlation (R<sup>2</sup>) between the fine particulate matter number concentration 

and the mass concentration of the fine particulate matter obtained using SPAMS was all 

above 0.75 in the observation period. The particle number concentration could reflect the 

atmospheric pollution situation to some degree. The average mass spectrogram of the fine 

particulate matter reflected that secondary pollutants were more in winter and spring in 

Nanning. The Art-2a classification method was used to classify the chemical composition 

of the fine particulate matter. The results showed that the number concentration of the 

chemical composition and sources of pollution had differences in the four seasons. 

Chemical composition could reflect pollution sources. The elevated elemental carbon was 

positively with increasing coal combustion in winter. The elevated organic carbon was 

positively correlated with motor vehicle source in autumn. Rich potassium particles, 

levoglucosan and substance were positively correlated with biomass burning source and 

dust in summer. The rich sodium particles and heavy metals were higher in spring. During 

the process of increasing pollution, the contributions of biomass and coal combustion 

sources were large. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Aiming at the special geo-climatic conditions and typical problems constraining 

the development of villages and towns, making villages and towns have the following 

characteristics: green and low-carbon, energy saving and environmental friendly, the 

coupling process of adsorption by carbonized rice husk particles and biological oxidation 

using Bacillus megaterium bacteria was developed for purifying high iron-manganese from 

groundwater in the cold villages and towns. The quick start-up method of biological 

filter at low temperature was studied. Based on the contact oxidation and biological 

method, iron removal efficiency and reaction rate in different filtration layers under 

different filtration conditions were comparatively analyzed, and iron removal mechanism 

of biological filter was determined. Filter materials and the solid samples in backwash 

water at different stages were characterized and the manganese removal mechanism of 

biological filter was analyzed through SEM, FTIR, XPS, Raman spectra and EPR. The results 

showed that the active biological membrane reached mature and stable only after 15 d with 

the operation mode of bacteria liquid cycle and low filtration rate in the filter column. 

The effluent concentration met the requirements of drinking water quality (GB 5749-2006) 

in the stable operation process. Fe, Mn and bacteria were lower than 0.3 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 0.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 100 CFU&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Iron removal mechanism relied mainly on the physical and chemical effects, 

supplemented by biological function. During the biofilm culturing stage and initial 

stable operation stage of filter column, manganese removal relied mainly on the 

biological effect. The physical chemistry was preferred at later stable operation stage. 

The study provides technical support for the applications of treating collectively

Abstract:Characterization of the forms of phosphorus (P) in four organic composts 

including compost of hulls and leaves of Castanea mollissima, edible fungi residues, corn 

stalks and chicken manure (BYZ), compost of edible fungi residues and chicken manure 

(ZF), composts of hulls and leaves of C. mollissima, edible fungi residues and chicken 

manure (BZ1 and BZ2) in Chinese chestnut producing area was conducted by sequential P 

fractionation developed by Dou et al. Field trial was conducted to study the effects of 

compost application on leaf phosphorus content of Castanea mollissima. The results showed 

that total phosphorus content (TP) of organic composts ranked as follows: BZ1 (10.61 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;ZF (9.03 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;BYZ (8.56 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>)&gt;BZ2 (7.68 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>), and the inorganic 

phosphorus (P<inf>i</inf>) accounted for 62.88%-73.62% of the total phosphorus in the 

organic composts. The content and proportion of HCl-P in the total fractionated 

phosphorus (P<inf>rt</inf>) was the highest among P forms in ZF, while that of 

H<inf>2</inf>O-P was the highest in BYZ, BZ1 and BZ2.The content of NaOH-P was very low 

in all the composts. Active H<inf>2</inf>O-Por NaHCO<inf>3</inf>-P had the highest 

inorganic phosphorus proportion (89.17%-96.00%) of all the P forms. The major 

P<inf>i</inf>forms in BZ2 were H<inf>2</inf>O-and HCl-extractable P fractions, while 

H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>, HCl-P<inf>i</inf>and NaHCO<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>i</inf>were 

major P<inf>i</inf>forms in BYZ, BZ1 and ZF. Residual-P was the predominant organic 

phosphorus form, and BZ2 showed the highest Residual-P proportion of the total 

fractionated phosphorus (P<inf>rt</inf>) among all the composts. Leaf phosphorus contents 

per unit area of Castanea mollissima by field trial on the added phosphorus-equivalent 

basis were expressed as: BZ2&gt;BZ1&gt;BYZ&gt;ZF&gt;CK. Increment of leaf phosphorus 

content per unit area in Julyand per month on average showed positive relationship with 

the content and proportion of H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>in the total fractionated 

phosphorus of composts, which presumably played a key role in leaf phosphorus absorption 

of C. mollissima measured in the year of deep concentrated fertilization. The results 

suggested that composts of hulls and leaves of C. mollissima, edible fungi residues and 

chicken manure (BZ2) was a good choice in given area for aerobic composting raw material 

system in which organic wastes from Chinese chestnut industry accounted for 80% (hulls 

and leaves of Castanea mollissima and edible fungi residues accounted for 60% and 20% 

respectively), which had a high proportion of H<inf>2</inf>O-P<inf>i</inf>and organic 

Residual-P pool and led to the highest leaf phosphorus content of C. mollissima. &copy;

Abstract:During the 29th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHIANRE), 

individual particle samples were collected from South China to Antarctic during November 

2012 to April 2013. A transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray 

spectrometry (TEM-EDS) was employed to analyze the morphology, mixing state, composition, 

and relative abundances of individual aerosol particles. Atmospheric particles were 

classified into four types: sea salt, mineral, S-rich and C-rich. Sea salt aerosols (SSA) 

were dominant in the marine particles from South China to Antarctic, and they were 

further divided into three sub-types: fresh SSA, partially aged SSA, and fully aged SSA. 

Partially and fully aged SSA accounted for 86% of total SSA number. Interestingly, 

surface of partially aged SSA and fully aged SSA contained abundant rod-like 

Na<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>. Mineral dust particles increased in the coastal areas which 

were influenced by continental air. In addition, we found that S-rich particles were 

abundant at two sampling sites (the middle eastern of Indian Ocean and Antarctic inland). 

The back trajectories of air masses indicated that these S-rich particles were mainly 

formed via the oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) emitted from the marine 

phytoplanktons. Our study suggests that the SSA aging process in the South Hemisphere 

atmosphere was controlled by the DMS which is different from the SSA aging under the 

influence of anthropogenic pollutants in the North Hemisphere. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:An anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated to investigate the 

recovery performance of ANAMMOX reactor after the inhibition of 100% seawater 

concentration. The results showed that the nitrogen removal performance of ANAMMOX 

reactor suffered inhibition of high salinity concentration. However, it could enter a 

period of stable nitrogen removal efficiency again after an interim stable period and a 

recovery period. The nitrogen removal rate (NRR) could reach 0.52 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which was similar to the control group, containing 

10% seawater and having a NRR of 0.462 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. 

The modified Logistic model and modified Gompertz model were revised and their 

application field was broadened. The re-modified Logistic model was suggested to be used 

to simulate the NRR recovery process of ANAMMOX reactor that suffered inhibition of 100% 

seawater concentration. The doubling time of NRR was calculated to be 11.359 d using the 

prediction formula established for the recovery time of NRR. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Electrode corrosion and salt crystallization are important challenges that 

restrict the engineering application of electrokinetic technology. In the present study, 

using stainless steel as an electrode, and deionized water (DW), citric acid (CA) and 

polyaspartic acid (PASP) as electrolytes, Pb/Cu-contaminated soil was remediated by 

electrokinetic. All of the EK experiments were conducted in a 2 L soil cell reactor with 

a moisture level of about 35% blended with 1000 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>of Pb and 778 

mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>of Cu under a constant voltage gradient (1 V&middot;cm<sup>-

1</sup>, 2 V&middot;cm<sup>-1</sup>) for 150 h. The removal efficiency of heavy metals 

and influencing factors, as well as the phenomenon and mechanism of electrode corrosion 

and salt crystallization were explored. The experimental results showed under the action 

of electric field, the Ca in the test soil would move to the cathode, and the crystal was 

formed in the alkaline condition. Additionally, the conductivity of the electrode was 

reduced. During the EK process, water at the anode was primarily oxidized, undergoing a 

reduction reaction at the cathode. Because H<sup>+</sup>and OH<sup>-</sup>were 

transported through the soil by electromigration and electro-osmotic flow (EOF), changes 

in soil pH could occur. The concentrations distribution of Pb-Cu appeared to be related 

to the distribution of soil pH in the cell, which might be associated with the desorption 

and hydroxide precipitation of Pb-Cu. PASP resulted in obvious inhibitory effect on the 

corrosion of stainless steel electrode, CA and PASP could clearly destroy the formation 

of CaCO<inf>3</inf>crystal, while barely effectively disrupted the formation of Ca(OH)

<inf>2</inf>crystal. Both CA and PASP could promote the removal of Pb, but the influence 

of PASP on the removal of Cu was not obvious, and the effect of CA was very significant. 

Combined with different corrosion inhibitor and reinforcing agent, stainless steel can be 

chosen as the engineering application electrode in electrokinetic remediation. &copy;

Abstract:In order to study the variation patterns of bacterial activity in water 

distributed networks, this paper studied a simulated water distribution network in a 

northern China city. Microscopic examination and bacterial counts were conducted on 

acridine orange-stained bacteria using fluorenscence microscopy to ensure precise 

quantitative analysis. The ratio of viable bacterial count to total bacterial count was 

used to characterize the overall bacterial activity in the drinking water distribution 

network, as well as to study the impacts imposed by various factors. As indicated, this 

method was proved to be rapid, reliable and repeatable in bacterial counts. Populations 

of viable bacteria and total bacteria in water samples were 10<sup>3</sup>-

10<sup>4</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>and 10<sup>4</sup>-

10<sup>5</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. There was a positive 

correlation between the bacterial activity and water temperature, turbidity, and flow 

velocity. There was also a negative correlation between bacterial activity and residual 

chlorine after the operation stabilized. The capacity of different forms of bacteria in 

the simulated water distribution networks with tolerance of sodium hypochlorite was in 

the following order: long-rod-shaped, spherical-shaped, short-rod-shaped, and curved-

shaped. The reactivation and reproduction capability of rod-shaped bacteria was stronger. 

There were more short-rod-shaped bacteria in summer water samples than in winter. &copy;

Abstract:Intact ladderane lipids are a special kind of phospholipids in the anammoxosome 

membrane of AnAOB. Phospholipid organic mixture was extracted respectively from four 

sludge samples in anaerobic EGSB reactor,aerobic SBR reactor, autotrophic nitrogen 

removal SBBR reactor and anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor. Phospholipid extracts 

of sludge were detected by the HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method to determine the types of intact 

ladderane lipids, and the specificity of intact ladderane lipids was also analyzed, at 

the same time, the bacterial community structure of autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR 

reactor and anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor was determined by high-throughput 

sequencing technology. Analytical results of intact ladderane lipids showed that intact 

ladderane lipids were not detected from anaerobic EGSB reactor and aerobic SBR reactor, 

and were detected from autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR reactor and anaerobic ammonium 

oxidation EGSB reactor. Five kinds of intact ladderane lipids were detected in the 

phospholipid extract of sludge from autotrophic nitrogen removal SBBR reactor, and seven 

kinds of intact ladderane lipids were detected in the phospholipid extract of sludge from 

anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB reactor. The results of high-throughput sequencing 

confirmed that the autotrophic nitrogen SBBR reactor contained AnAOB of the genera 

Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Jettenia, and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation EGSB 

reactor contained AnAOB of the genera Candidatus Kuenenia and Candidatus Jettenia. These 

results illustrated that intact ladderane lipids were the peculiar phospholipids in 

AnAOB. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to reveal the effects of heavy metal pollution on microbial community 

compositions and microbial community diversity in tailing area, we conducted an 

experiment by examining the microbial community in tailing water, sediments and tailing 

sand in Shibahe copper tailing in Zhongtiao Mountain. Differences in microbial community 

compositions in different habitats and their relationships with environmental parameters 

were analyzed. The results showed that the richness and diversity of microbial community 

were the largest in tailing sand, but the lowest in tailing water. Microbial community 

compositions were similar between tailing water and sediments. There were significant 

positive correlations between the relative abundance of the dominant family 

(Sphingomonadaceae) and contents of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn), while there 

were significant negative correlations between relative abundances of Caulobacteraceae, 

Methylobacteriaceae, Nocardioidaceae, Microbacteriaceae, Micrococcaceae, Streptococcaceae 

and Paenibacillaceae and heavy metal contents. It showed that most of the bacteria were 

inhibited by heavy metals, but Sphingomonadaceae had a higher tolerance to heavy metals 

which may indicate that it has a potential for remediation of heavy metal contamination.

Abstract:Sanshan island of Taihu Lake National Wetland Park in Suzhou was taken as a case 

study to explore the relationship between land use types and water quality under 

different spatial and temporal conditions. Firstly, principal component analysis was used 

to calculate the comprehensive index of water quality for a given sampling site. 

Secondly, landscape development intensity index (LDI), which can represent combined 

effects of land use types, was calculated based on GIS spatial analysis technology. 

Finally, overall correlation between water quality and land use types was obtained by 

using Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed that the water quality varied with 

the spatial distribution of the wetland park. Totally, water quality of west region was 

good and water quality of east region was poor; Built-up land and water quality 

integrated index exhibited obvious positive correlation. And natural water and water 

quality index was significantly negatively correlated; By building relationship of water 

quality index and LDI index within 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 m 

radius buffer, Pearson's r values between them were 0.641, 0.678, 0.691, 0.685, 0.691, 

0.695, 0.680, 0.653 and 0.649 respectively (P&lt;0.01). These statistics indicated 

obvious and stable overall correlation between land use types and water quality. This can 

reflect a variety of land use types'comprehensive effects on wetland water quality, and 

partly overcome the weakness of incomplete and difficult explanation for water quality 

changes with single type of land use. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to understand the changes of dissolved carbon and dissolved nitrogen in 

the water of Three Gorges Reservoir, this research was carried out once a week by the 

bank of Yangtze River in Fuling beach from March 2011 to August 2012, and the variation 

characteristics of dissolved C, N composition and their source were analyzed. The results 

showed that the concentration of DOC ranged from 0.64 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 9.07 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and had obvious seasonal change: summer&gt;spring and 

autumn&gt;winter. Annual total input of DOC was 1.78 &times; 10<sup>9</sup>kg, the 

seasonal change trend of the total input of DOC was similar to that of the concentration 

of DOC; The concentration of DTN ranged from 2.59 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 4.35 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>: spring&gt;winter&gt;summer&gt;autumn, annual total input was 

1.32 &times; 10<sup>9</sup>kg,the seasonal input changed in the order of 

summer&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;winter, among them DON, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N 

accounted for 30.35%-63.45% and 35.87%-67.72%, respectively. DOC was affected by 

precipitation and air temperature, and mainly came from the exogenous input, in the 

spring and summer its exogenous input increased with the increase of rainfall runoff, but 

in the autumn and winter the endogenous contribution increased; DTN was relatively 

affected by human emissions and water dilution. Correlation analysis showed that there 

was a significant negative correlation between DOC and DON (P&lt;0.05), DOC/DON ratio 

usually reflects the source of the DOM, the DOC/DON in the water of three gorges 

reservoir ranged from 0.35 to 7.28, the source of DOM had obvious seasonal 

characteristics. DOC/DON was the highest in summer, and the DOM mainly came from 

watershed erosion; DOC/DON was the lowest in winter, and the DOM mainly came from living 

sewage and endogenous field; the DOC/DON ratios in spring and autumn were higher than 

those in winter and lower than those in summer, and the DOM sources included watershed 

erosion, living sewage and endogenous field. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to explore the spatial distribution and source of perfluorinated 

compounds (PFCs), eleven mixed urban soil samples were collected from 7 cities in Anhui 

Province in 2013. Fifteen individual PFCs were detected by ultra-performance liquid 

chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and principal components analysis 

was used to trace the different sources of PFCs in urban soil. The results showed that 

the total concentration of PFCs (&sum;PFCs) ranged from 1.15 to 5.98 ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>dry weight (dw), with an average concentration of 2.69 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. 

perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) with a concentration range of n.d. -3.56 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an average concentration of 0.96 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>was 

the dominant PFC contaminant, followed by perfluorooctane acid (PFOA) with a 

concentration range of n.d. -2.89 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and an average concentration of 

0.64 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The highest &sum;PFCs concentration in all selected mixed 

urban soil samples was from Chuzhou City with the value of 5.89 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

followed by Jingxian County of Xuancheng City (4.04 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). 

Interestingly, the PFOS concentration was as high as 3.56 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>in 

Jingxian County, accounting for 88.1% of the total PFCs concentration, which might be 

influenced by paper industry in this area. Comparing to other soil samples in China, 

&sum;PFCs concentration of urban soil from Anhui Province was at middle level. Over 60% 

of &sum;PFCs in urban soil of Anhui province could be attributed to the four principal 

components, represented by PFOA, perfluorobutane sulfonate, perfluorododecanoic acid, 

perfluorobutane acid and PFOS. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Effects of different vegetation types (Ulmus pumila, Larix gmelinii, Armeniaca 

vulgaris, Picea asperata and Robinia pseudoacacia) and reclamation years (15 and 20 

years) on soil bacterial community structure in reclaimed Antaibao opencast mine areas 

were investigated using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis 

(PCR-DGGE) and clone sequencing. For 20-year reclaimed soils, the significantly highest 

and lowest bacterial diversity were found in U. pumila and A. vulgaris stand, 

respectively, whereas no significant differences were found between the other three 

vegetation types. Under 15-year plantations, soil bacterial diversity index of P. 

asperata was significantly higher than that of R. pseudoacacia. Soil bacterial diversity 

index significantly increased in R. pseudoacacia planted soils but decreased in P. 

asperata treatment with the increase of reclaimed years. No significant change of soil 

bacterial community structure was observed in the same reclamation years based on the 

similarity coefficient analysis, cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). 

Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that bacterial diversity index was 

significantly positively correlated with soil pH. Nitrospira, Sphingomonas, Arthrobacter, 

Brachybacterium, Rhizobium as well as Mesorhizobium, which play important roles in the 

nitrogen cycle, degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other organic matter, 

were identified by clone sequencing of the DGGE bands. Our results indicated that U. 

pumila and P. asperata were conducive to the recovery of soil bacterial diversity. The 

most dominant bacterial community from reclaimed mine soil would be beneficial for 

restoring wasteland contaminated soil and improving soil fertility. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface dusts 

attracts great attentions due to their properties of threatening human health. Twenty-

nine surface dust samples were collected from driving-schools in a city of Henan. 

Concentrations of 16 priority PAHs were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 

(GC-MS). The health risks exposed to dust PAHs for three different scenarios (working for 

5 a, 10 a and 20 a in driving-school) were estimated by the health risk assessment model 

(ILCRs). Source identification was analyzed by diagnostic ratio, composition analysis, 

and principal component analysis. The results showed that concentrations of the &sum;PAHs 

in dusts ranged from 198.21 to 3 400.89 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, with a mean of 

908.72 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Among individual PAHs, the contents of naphthalene 

(Nap), phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant) and fluoranthene (Flu) were higher, and the 

content of dibenzo[a, h]anthracene (DBA) was the lowest. The dominant compounds were 2-3 

ring PAHs, which accounted for 55.79%, while the 4-6 ring PAHs accounted for 44.21%. The 

health risks exposed to PAHs in dust in three different scenarios were 

9.27&times;10<sup>-8</sup>, 1.85&times;10<sup>-7</sup>, and 3.71&times;10<sup>-

7</sup>respectively; only sample J11 was with potential health risk in scenario 3, and 

the other samples were all without risks. Average daily doses by dermal contact of dust 

particles for the PAHs was the main exposure way. PAHs in dusts of driving-school were 

mainly originated from the combustion of fossil fuels and mixture combustion. The major 

sources of dust PAHs in farmland area driving-schools were natural gas and diesel 

combustion (56.44%), coal combustion (26.55%), gasoline combustion and the leakage 

(17.01%); dust PAHs in industrial area driving-schools were from mixture combustion 

(76.26%), gasoline combustion and the leakage (22.85%), coking and coal combustion 

(0.89%); and dust PAHs in mixed area driving-schools were from coal combustion (45.57%), 

natural gas and diesel combustion (45.41%), gasoline combustion and the leakage (9.02%). 

The concentrations and health risks of heavy metals in dusts were closely related to the 

surroundings around driving-schools and the previous land use status. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of four modes of water 

managements on soil Eh values, bioavailability of soil Cd, migration and accumulation of 

Cd in rice. These four modes of water managements were moistening throughout the entire 

period of rice growth (M), moistening before filling stage and flooding after filling 

stage (M-F), flooding before filling stage and moistening after filling stage (F-M), and 

flooding throughout the entire period of rice growth (F). The results indicated that the 

exchangeable contents of Cd increased firstly and then declined with the soil Eh values 

changing from negative to positive. Compared with M, the other three modes (M-F, F-M, and 

F) significantly reduced the contents of Cd in all rice tissues, including roots, stems, 

husks and brown rice. Meanwhile, Cd contents in brown rice due to the treatments of M-F 

and F were 0.19 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 0.10 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. These Cd contents were lower than the limits of 0.2 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>in national food safety standard (GB 2762-2012). Compared with M, the other three 

modes significantly decreased Cd accumulation amounts in the aboveground parts of rice 

and also decreased Cd translocation factors in rice. There were significant positive 

exponential relations between soil Eh values and Cd accumulation amounts in the 

aboveground parts of rice, Cd translocation factors in rice, or Cd contents in brown 

rice. The rice biomass due to M-F treatment reached the maximum among the four modes. It 

was worthy to be mentioned that although Weiyou 46 was considered a variety rice with 

high Cd accumulation, Cd content in rice brown of Weiyou 46 could be lower than 0.2 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in the 5 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of Cd contaminated soil 

through proper water managements. In summary, M-F treatment ensured high rice yield with 

low Cd contents in brown rice and could be recommended as the irrigation mode in rice 

production. Simultaneously, maintaining soil Eh value between -160-130 mV was also 

important after the filling stage. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, we wanted to explore the impacts of N wet deposition on N export 

and trace the N source by isotopic method through monitoring N wet deposition in Loess 

Plateau's Dam Watershed in alternating wet and dry seasons, through measuring N wet 

deposition, rainfall-runoff and base flow process and analyzing concentration change of 

different forms of N. The results showed that there were 11 rainfall events in the 2015 

wet season, in which N wet deposition load reached 814.18 kg and N deposition flux was 

about 4.26 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, while there were three rainfall events in the 2015 

dry season, in which N wet deposition load reached 155.58 kg and N deposition flux was 

0.83 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, so it presented a great seasonal variability. By 

collecting the dynamic process of four rainfall events, we found that, different rainfall 

intensity had different influence on N export process. The contribution of N wet 

deposition of four rainfall events to N export in watershed was 16.94 kg. The ratio that 

N output load of rainfall and river in watershed N output load was 14.45%-64.84%, which 

showed that the contribution of rainfall to watershed N transport was big. The variation 

range of &delta;<sup>15</sup>N in Loess Plateau's Dam Watershed was big, which was -

0.844&permil;-12.791&permil;, and the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O was within the range of 8.166 

&permil;-15.115 &permil; in the dam watershed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Soil active organic carbon is the most important carbon pool and a good 

indicator in ecosystem management due to its great significance in soil carbon cycling 

and soil quality. In order to investigate the effect of biochar(BC)addition on soil 

organic matter fractions, apple tree twigs were used to produce BC at 300, 400, 500 and 

600&#8451;, respectively. Elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) 

spectroscopy were used to determine the characteristics of BC. Four kinds of BC were 

added into soils at five application rates(0, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3%) and incubated at 

25&#8451; in lab for over 360 days. Soil organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass carbon 

(MBC), water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and readily oxidized organic carbon (ROC) were 

measured during the incubation. The mass fraction of carbon (C) in the generated BC 

ranged from 62.20%-80.01%, while hydrogen (H) ranged from 2.72%-5.18% and Oxygen (O) 

ranged from 15.98%-30.92%. The increasing temperature increased the mass fraction of C, 

while decreased the O and H mass content, as well as the ratio of H/C and O/C. The 

addition of BC significantly increased SOC, and the treatments amended with BC500 had the 

highest increments. Compared with the control treatment (CK), the addition of BC produced 

at temperatures below 400&#8451; increased the contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC during the 

incubation, at the end of the incubation, BC300 treatments significantly increased the 

contents by 38.25%, 82.09% and 63.53% (P&lt;0.05), respectively; BC400 treatments 

significantly increased the contents by 26.07%, 65.61% and 48.09% (P&lt;0.05), 

respectively; while lower contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC were found in the treatments 

amended with BC produced at temperatures above 400&#8451; after 40-60 d incubation. After 

360 d of incubation, the contents of MBC, WSOC and ROC were significantly decreased by 

0.27%,13.48% and 14.67% in BC500 treatments and 7.80%,14.66% and 15.79% in BC600 

treatments (except for the MBC in BC500 treatment) (P&lt;0.05). The relative contents of 

ROC ranged from 3.39% to 15.65%, BC application decreased the relative content of ROC, 

suggesting that the increase was in proportion to the stability of organic carbon in the 

soil. Considering the content and quality of SOC, when the BC products were applied to 

the Loutu soil, 500&#8451; was the optimal temperature for preparing apple-derived BC due 

to its significant increase of the soil organic carbon and a slight decrease of the 

relative content of soil active organic carbon. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Based on the MODIS-Aqua aerosol optical depth (AOD) products from 2003 to 2014, 

Nighttime Lights Time data from DMSP satellites and basic meteorological data, the AOD 

spatial distributions of interannual and seasonal variations over three northeastern 

provinces of China(Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang) were analyzed. It was found that there 

was a northeast-southwest area of high annual average AOD composed of Dalian, Shenyang, 

Changchun, Harbin and other cities, the 12-year average AOD value was 0.4-0.8. The low 

AOD occurred in the eastern and northern areas of the three northeastern provinces of 

China, where the forest-covering rate was high, and the 12-year average AOD value was 

less than 0.3. The seasonal variations of annual average AOD showed an increasing trend 

from spring to summer, then decreased in autumn and increased again in winter. The 

interannual variations of AOD over three northeastern provinces of China showed a 

decreasing trend in most areas, but the increasing trend occurred in the northeast-

southwest region with the axis formed by Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin, revealing the 

polarization in recent 10 years over three northeastern provinces of China. In addition, 

spatial distribution of annual average AOD over three northeastern provinces of China in 

the years of strong and weak Western North Pacific Summer Monsoon was studied. Affected 

by the surface wind field, annual average AOD in weak monsoon years was higher than that 

in strong monsoon years. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:North China Plain is an important region of grain production. Soil fertility and 

grain production in this region are significantly influenced by the levels of soil carbon 

and nitrogen. In order to explore the effects of agricultural practices on the levels of 

soil carbon and nitrogen, a long-term field experiment was started in 1999 in Quzhou 

County, Hebei Province. Four treatments, including following nature (F), tillage without 

straw (N), no tillage with crushed straw incorporation (S), and tillage with crushed 

straw incorporation (TS), were chosen to collect soil samples at the layers of 0-20 cm 

and 20-40 cm in 2013. Soil organic carbon (SOC), soil inorganic carbon (SIC), total 

carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>, 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>and &delta;<sup>15</sup>N were analyzed. The results 

indicated that compared with F, SOC stocks of N, S and TS decreased by 21.6%, 12.3% and 

3.4% in the 0-20 cm soil layer, but the changes of SIC stocks were not significant. In 

the 20-40 cm soil layer, the changes of the SOC stocks were not significant, but the SIC 

stocks increased by 4.1% (N), 7.3% (S) and 5.0% (TS) compared to F, respectively. Major 

contribution of SIC increase was the pedogenic inorganic carbonate (PIC), which increased 

by 97%-261% in the farmland soil. In the soil layer of 0-20 cm, the values of 

&delta;<sup>15</sup>N, &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>and 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>in the farmland treatments were higher than those of 

F, meanwhile, the values of &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>were significantly higher 

than that of F. In the soil layer of 20-40 cm, the values of &delta;<sup>15</sup>N and 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SIC</inf>were lower than those of F, but the value of 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>SOC</inf>showed the opposite trend. In North China Plain, 

lithogenic inorganic carbonate (LIC) of farmland soil decomposed and PIC increased by the 

soil-crop system, which provided CO<inf>2</inf>for the formation of PIC, and straw 

returning was an effective agricultural practice to restore the soil carbon decreased by 

tillage. There should be more long-term monitoring and studies for the impacts of crop 

straw incorporation and tillage on SOC and SIC, especially for soil in deeper layers.

Abstract:To study the characteristics and sources of trace metals in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>during wintertime in Beijing, PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected from 

December 2014 to January 2015 by a middle volume sampler in the urban area of Beijing for 

30 consecutive days. The mass concentration of PM<inf>2.5</inf>was measured by filter 

membrane weighting method, and 16 kinds of trace metals were determined by inductively 

couple plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In addition, the pollution characteristics and 

sources of trace metals were analyzed by enrichment factor (EF) method and factor 

analysis, respectively. The results showed that the concentrations of five elements (i.e. 

K, Ca, Fe, Al and Mg) accounted for 90.7% of the total metal elements. The concentrations 

of the metal elements changed obviously between day and night. Compared with daytime, 

crustal elements like Mg and Al decreased by more than 30% while anthropogenic elements 

like Cu and Pb increased by more than 40% in nighttime. Although the concentrations of 

metal elements increased by nearly one time in heavy pollution days compared with clean 

days, the mass percent of which in PM<inf>2.5</inf>decreased from 10.9% in clean days to 

4.6% in heavy pollution days. This result suggested the accumulation of metal elements in 

heavy pollution days had a minor contribution to the increased mass concentration of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>. As the pollution episode progressed, anthropogenic elements (Cu, Zn, 

As, Se, Ag and Cd) increased faster than crustal elements (Al, Mg, Ca, Mn and Fe), which 

showed ratios ranging from 2.9 to 5.3 for anthropogenic elements and ratios ranging from 

1.2 to 1.8 for crustal elements, when compared between heavy pollution days and clean 

days. In addition, the EF value of anthropogenic elements was also increased in the 

pollution days, indicating the concentrations of these elements was further influenced by 

the anthropogenic sources. Factor analysis showed that metal elements of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>during wintertime of Beijing were mainly from coal combustion and biomass 

burning, motor vehicle and industry emissions, and re-suspension of road dust, with the 

contributions of 34.2%, 25.5% and 17.1%, respectively. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:This study investigated the effects of a widely used herbicide 2,4-

dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on power generation, pollutants removal from microbial fuel 

cells (MFCs) and microbial community changes, and also explored anode pre-aeration for 

enhanced 2,4-D removal and power generation. The results showed that when 2,4-D was 

inputted to the anode chamber of MFCs which was previously enriched with acetate sodium 

as the fuel, the voltage output and power density declined and the internal resistance 

increased apparently. The maximum power density declined to 0.057 W&middot;m<sup>-

2</sup>in the presence of 300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>2,4-D comparing to 0.151 

W&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>obtained with acetate alone (850 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), and 

the internal resistance increased from 524 &Omega; to 1 230 &Omega; correspondingly. To 

accelerate 2,4-D removal rate and reduce its inhibition to anode exoelectrogens, 6h pre-

aeration was applied to the anode chamber. Fast removal of 2,4-D was achieved during 

aeration period and simultaneous high maximum voltage output (0.42-0.47 V) was obtained. 

Anode microbial community changed after 2,4-D addition and several 2,4-D degrading 

bacteria and 2,4-D tolerant exoelectrogen were enriched. MFCs could be used for 2,4-D 

removal and simultaneous power generation through anode pre-aeration. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The evolution of sludge filteration dewaterability, floc structure and 

hydrolytic kinetics with calcium peroxide oxidation pre-treatment was investigated in 

this study. The effect of sludge characteristics with combined process of ferrous ion and 

calcium peroxide was deeply analyzed and the result suggested that the sludge dewatering 

performance was improved first and then worsened after CaO<inf>2</inf>addition. When the 

dosage was 20 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, sludge reached its optimal dewaterability. At the 

same time, sludge was effectively dissolved and the floc structure became loose and 

broken with the increase of organic matters in the supernatant. Moreover, sludge 

solubilization process followed the pseudo-zero-order kinetic equation well and the 

reaction rate of sludge with CaO<inf>2</inf>treatment was 15.2 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>. In addition, sludge floc lysis was enhanced by the 

treatment of ferrous ion and calcium peroxide oxidation, whilst sludge dewaterability was 

improved due to the reconstruction of sludge floc structure by the iron ions produced. 

This study provided theoretical basis for application of calcium peroxide pre-treatment 

and its combining technique in sludge treatment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Seasonal variations of 17 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 15 

persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed during spring and summer in 

surface water from 12 sampling sites of Baiyangdian lake to elucidate their seasonal 

pollution characteristics and sources. The results showed that total concentrations of 

PAHs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake ranged from 35.38 to 88.06 ng&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>(46.57 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in spring and 25.64 to 301.41 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(76.23 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in summer, 

respectively, and total concentrations of OCPs ranged from 0.69 to 4.50 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(1.77 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in spring and 0.11 to 

3.20 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(0.90 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in average) in summer, 

respectively. Seasonal pollution characteristics of PAHs in surface water during two 

different seasons showed that the total concentration of PAHs was much higher in summer 

than in spring at three sampling sites of Baiyangdian lake including Qiantang, Guancheng 

and Anxin bridge, and the level of PAHs in spring was much higher than that in summer at 

the other nine sites. While seasonal pollution characteristics of OCPs showed that the 

total concentration of OCPs was much higher in summer than in spring in samples of 

Guancheng sites, and the level of OCPs in spring was slightly higher than that in summer 

in the rest of samples. From the perspective of spatial and temporal variations in the 

composition patterns of PAHs and OCPs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake, PAHs were 

predominated by 3-ring PAHs with 45.92% and 61.36% (52.60% in average) of total PAHs in 

spring, while in summer Nap was the chief component of 2-ring PAHs in three sampling 

sites including Qiantang, Guancheng and Anxin bridge with 84.91%, 91.04% and 78.10% of 

the total, respectively, and 3-ring PAHs were primary pollutants in the other nine sites 

with 37.14% to 53.90% (48.94% in average) of the total. Residues of HCHs and DDTs were 

detected in different degrees and &beta;-HCH was the main pollutant at all sampling sites 

with 29.94% and 100% (59.87% in average) of total HCHs in spring, while &beta;-HCH was 

the predominant compounds at five sampling sites with 57.55% and 80.23% (61.98% in 

average) in summer and &alpha;-HCHs and &delta;-HCH were abundant at other sampling 

sites. Source analysis based on isomer ratios indicated that the main source of PAHs in 

Baiyangdian lake originated from combustion sources, and additional sources for several 

sampling sites could be petroleum processes. Ratios of HCH isomers and DDT congeners 

confirmed that environmental historical residues and long range atmospheric transport 

were the major sources of OCPs contamination in the study area. Compared with the water 

quality standard of China and other countries or organizations, concentrations of PAHs 

and OCPs in surface water of Baiyangdian lake did not exceed the target values of the 

standard. However, the concentrations of &alpha;-HCH and p,p'-DDD in Anxin bridge and 

Quantou sites exceeded the limit of human health ambient water quality criteria developed 

by EPA, which reflected that &alpha;-HCH and p,p'-DDD would have a potential hazards risk 

to the residents from Baiyangdian district. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Myriophyllum aquaticum, which is an important plant for constructed wetlands, 

has powerful purification ability for wastewater, however, the relationship between 

nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum aquaticum and wastewater nitrogen concentrations 

is still unclear. In this study, pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the 

effect of wastewater nitrogen levels on nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum 

aquaticum. 7 nitrogen levels were set up as following: 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 200, 400 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The results showed that when the wastewater nitrogen 

concentration was not higher than 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Myriophyllum aquaticum 

with 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of nitrogen concentration grew best in the first 3 weeks; 

the removal rates of total and ammonia nitrogen were nearly 100% after one week, while 

the nitrate nitrogen concentrations were very low and varied little; the nitrogen 

contents of Myriophyllum aquaticum had no significant change, the upper part nitrogen 

content was higher than the underneath, Myriophyllum aquaticum could also remove nitrogen 

from the sediment. When wastewater nitrogen concentrations were 100-400 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Myriophyllum aquaticum with 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of 

nitrogen concentration grew best from 4th to 5th week; the removal rates of total 

nitrogen were 76.5%, 71.5% and 48.1% in the three treatments, and the removal rates of 

ammonia nitrogen were 99.6%, 99.3% and 60.2% respectively, while the removal rates of 

nitrate nitrogen were all about 50% and there was no significant difference among 

treatments; the nitrogen contents of Myriophyllum aquaticum increased with nitrogen 

levels, but the difference between upper part and underneath was not remarkable, showing 

uniform distribution; nitrogen accumulations by Myriophyllum aquaticum and sediment 

accounted for 27.9%-48.4% and 12.2%-24.4% of total nitrogen loss in wastewater. 

Therefore, the nitrogen removal ability of Myriophyllum aquaticum should be inhibited by 

higher wastewater nitrogen level, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate was significantly 

higher than nitrate, the mechanism of Myriophyllum aquaticum nitrogen accumulation and 

distribution should also be affected by wastewater nitrogen level, and further research 

is needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Three Gorge Dam Reservoir (TGDR) is a new forming ecosystem and its sediments 

dynamics remains unknown. Investigation on the nitrification and denitrification dynamics 

of sediments of TGDR during water collection and release events-anti-seasonal actions-is 

critical for nitrogen management in TGDR. In this study, we sampled sediments in three 

locations (upstream, center, and downstream along water flow) of South River, located in 

a typical small tributary, Nanhe, in TGDR during 2015 water collection and release events 

to characterize its physiochemical property and determine its nitrification and 

denitrification rates using acetylene inhabitation method. The results showed that the 

concentrations of physiochemical parameters of sediments (total carbon, total nitrogen, 

nitrate, and ammonia) were significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) in water collection event 

than those in water release event, suggesting there were external materials (e.g., soil) 

entering into TGDR. Furthermore, the nitrification rate of sediments in water collection 

event [194.06 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] was significantly 

higher than that in water release event [16.52 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)

<sup>-1</sup>]. Sediments nitrification rate was positively correlated to the 

physiochemical parameters. In contract, the denitrification rate of sediments was higher 

in water release event [647.20 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] than 

that in water collection event [24.04 &mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>). Accordingly, the denitrification rate of sediments was negatively correlated to 

the physiochemical parameters. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To investigate the distribution characteristics and the human health risks of 

heavy metals in surface water samples, 30 samples were collected around electroplating 

factories of Machong, Shatian, Humen, Changan and Dalingshan towns in Dongguan city, 8 

heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) contents were measured and analyzed by 

using multivariate statistical analysis method and human health risk assessment model. 

The results showed that the maximum concentrations of Cr, Pb and the average 

concentration of Hg exceeded Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838-

2002, Grade III), the concentrations of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Zn and Pb during rainy season 

were all higher than that those during dry season. Multivariate statistical analysis 

indicated that Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn mainly originated from the contaminated 

electroplating factories, Pb and Hg were mainly affected by the traffic sources, and As 

was significantly correlated with natural sources. Health risk assessment result of 

surface water indicated that heavy metal pollution would lead to high health risks 

especially for children, and the health risks of heavy metals through drinking pathway 

were 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the values caused by dermal contact pathway. 

Moreover, carcinogenic risks caused by Cr and As were higher than the maximum allowance 

levels (5&times;10<sup>-5</sup>a<sup>-1</sup>), and non-carcinogenic risks of the heavy 

metals (10<sup>-10</sup>-10<sup>-7</sup>a<sup>-1</sup>) decreased in the order of 

Pb&gt;Ni&gt;Cu&gt;Hg&gt;Zn, which were 4-5 orders of magnitude lower than the maximum

Abstract:The feasibility of a new sludge treatment technology of earthworm constructed 

wetlands was tested by adding earthworm into the traditional sludge dying reed beds. The 

dewatering and stabilization effects of the upper layer sludge were tested under 

different sludge loading rates of 48, 65, 80 kg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>, different earthworm stocking densities of 0, 0.43, 0.54, 0.65 kg&middot;m<sup>-

2</sup>and different sludge loading frequencies. The results indicated that it was 

feasible to provide a shelter for earthworm during the loading period by setting a damper 

with a buried depth of 10 mm. The addition of earthworm could effectively improve the 

dewatering and stabilization effects of earthworm constructed wetlands, by lowering the 

DHA and decreasing the moisture content and VS of sludge by 15% and 10% respectively. The 

stabilization effects of earthworm constructed wetlands reached the best under the 

stocking density of 0.65 kg&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>. With the increase of sludge loading 

rate and decrease of loading frequency, the running efficiency of earthworm constructed 

wetlands would be worse. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX), an innovative nitrogen removal 

technology, has good prospects for applications. However, ANAMMOX bacteria grow slowly 

and are hardly accumulated in bioreactors. In this study, a UASB reactor inoculated with 

sludge from landfill leachate treatment plant was used for the start-up of ANAMMOX 

process. Besides, exogenous quorum sensing signals (DSF and AHL) were added to improve 

the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge. The results showed that the UASB successfully started the 

ANAMMOX process within 150 days of operation. The total nitrogen removal rate reached 80% 

and the proportion of ANAMMOX bacteria rose to 20%. There was a low concentration of AHLs 

signal molecules in the ANAMMOX sludge. If the &beta;-position substituent group of AHL 

added was a carbonyl group (including 3-oxo-C<inf>6</inf>-HSL, 3-oxo-C<inf>8</inf>-HSL, 

3-oxo-C<inf>10</inf>-HSL and 3-oxo-C<inf>12</inf>-HSL), the adhesion growth ability of 

the ANAMMOX sludge could be improved. In the case of dosing with AHL molecules without 

&beta;-position substituent groups, only C<inf>6</inf>-HSL and C<inf>12</inf>-HSL could 

promote the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge. The additions of C<inf>8</inf>-HSL, 

C<inf>10</inf>-HSL and DSF all had negative effects on the adhesion of ANAMMOX sludge.

Abstract:In order to study the quick start-up process of anaerobic ammonium oxidation 

(ANAMMOX), two types of reactors with different hydraclic flow state inoculated with 

aerobic nitrifying sludge were investigated, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) and anaerobic 

baffled reactor (ABR), respectively. The result showed that both reactors successfully 

started up ANAMMOX process. The start-up period of the MBR (90 d) was 20% shorter than 

the ABR (111 d). During the stable operation, the average nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N+NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) removal capacity of 0.098 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the MBR was also higher than that of 0.089 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the ABR. In addition, the differences 

of sludge morphology were obvious in the two reactors; flocculent sludge was developed in 

the MBR while ANAMMOX granular sludge was mainly formed in the first compartment of the 

ABR. Moreover, the quantitative relationship analysis between NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N showed that the 

MBR system contained more kinds of bacteria with nitrogen removal function, compared to 

the ABR, and it was therefore more conducive to the removal of nitrogen. MBR exhibited a 

more excellent performance for ANAMMOX start-up. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to utilize the waste biomass resources efficiently, two raw materials 

of sawdust and apple branch were selected to produce biochars at 450&#8451; by oxygen-

limited pyrolysis, and the adsorptions of Cu<sup>2+</sup>in aqueous solutions were 

evaluated. The effects of initial Cu<sup>2+</sup>concentration and contact time in batch 

sorption experiments were investigated by the four kinds of isothermal adsorption models 

(Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkim, D-R model) and the four kinds of adsorption kinetics 

models (Pseudo first-order, Pseudo second-order, Elovich model, Intraparticle diffusion 

model). The influencing factors of adsorption characteristics about sawdust biochar (JB) 

and apple branch biochar (PB) were discussed by characterizing their elemental 

composition, functional groups, surface area, surface morphology and scanning electron 

microscope. The results showed that: (1)The adsorption equilibrium of PB and JB was 

reached in three hours and six hours, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity 

of PB and JB reached 15.85 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 17.44 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Compared with other studies, these biochars showed higher 

Cu<sup>2+</sup>adsorption performance. (2)The adsorption kinetics was best fitted by the 

pseudo-second order model, while the isothermal adsorption was best described by Langmuir 

isotherms. This indicated that the beneficial adsorption process via monolayer was 

affected by intraparticle diffusion, surface adsorption and liquid film diffusion. (3)The 

adsorption mechanism for Cu<sup>2+</sup>is a complex interaction of physical and chemical 

factors. Electrostatic interaction of physical adsorption is mainly adsorption mechanism, 

Chemical adsorption mechanism includes generally ligand exchange (phenolic hydroxyl)/ion 

exchange (H<sup>+</sup>) and cationic-&pi;. It was demonstrated that JB and PB could be 

considered as promising materials to immobilize heavy metals in contaminated water or 

soil. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In Beijing, the chemical composition and component concentrations of volatile 

organic compounds (VOCs) were investigated during the municipal solid waste composting 

process using a portable gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer. The 

contributions of VOCs to the ozone formation potential were computed using the maximum 

incremental reactivity (MIR) scale and the propylene-equivalent concentration scale. The 

results showed that the concentrations of waste discharge in the sorting room, the first 

fermentation workshop, the second fermentation workshop, the compost product workshop, 

and the plant boundary were 10 302.1, 15 484.1, 929.9, 4 693.6 and 370.4 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The main VOCs of the municipal solid waste 

composting plant were ethanol, limonene, and acetone. The propylene-equivalent 

concentrations of waste discharge in the sorting room, the first fermentation workshop, 

the second fermentation workshop, the compost product workshop, and the plant boundary 

were 25 875.7, 4 087.9, 378.0, 747.7 and 296.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, whereas the 

O<inf>3</inf>formation potentials computed using the MIR scale were 26 979.3, 21 168.3, 1 

469.3, 6 439.6 and 455.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Reducing pollution by controlling 

the VOCs emission of waste discharge in the sorting room and the first fermentation 

workshop is important and can decrease the ozone formation potential. Given the accuracy 

and accessibility of the method, the MIR scale is more suitable for calculating the ozone 

formation potential of VOCs emitted from the municipal solid waste composting plant.

Abstract:In this study, hydrous zirconium oxide (HZO) samples precipitated at different 

pH values were prepared, characterized and used as adsorbents to remove phosphate from 

aqueous solution. The adsorption characteristics and mechanisms of phosphate on these HZO 

samples were investigated. The results showed that the presence of Na<sup>+</sup>slightly 

enhanced the adsorption of phosphate on HZO samples prepared at precipitation pH of 4.8 

and 8.0, but it greatly enhanced the adsorption of phosphate on HZO prepared at 

precipitation pH of 10.6. The presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup>slightly enhanced the adsorption 

of phosphate on HZO prepared at precipitation pH of 4.8, but it significantly enhanced 

the adsorption of phosphate on HZO samples prepared at precipitation pH of 8.0 and 10.6. 

The presence of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>or SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>inhibited 

phosphate adsorption onto HZO, and the inhibitory effect of these anions on phosphate 

adsorption onto HZO precipitated at pH 4.8 was much higher than that on phosphate 

adsorption onto HZO samples precipitated at pH 8.0 and 10.6. The phosphate adsorption was 

dependent upon solution pH, and it decreased with increasing solution pH. The Langmuir, 

Freundlich and Dubinin-Redushckevich (D-R) isotherm models fitted well to the adsorption 

equilibrium data of phosphate on HZO samples precipitated at pH 4.8, 8.0 and 10.6. In the 

presence of Na<sup>+</sup>but in the absence of Ca<sup>2+</sup>, there was no significant 

difference of the maximum phosphate monolayer adsorption capacity derived from the 

Langmuir isotherm model among HZO samples prepared at precipitation pH of 4.8, 8.0 and 

10.6. In the presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup>, the maximum phosphate monolayer adsorption 

capacity derived from the Langmuir isotherm model for HZO precipitated at pH 8.0 or 10.6 

was much higher than that for HZO precipitated at pH 4.8. The mechanism for phosphate 

adsorption onto HZO mainly obeyed the inner-sphere complexing mechanism. The surface 

chloride and hydroxyl groups played the key role in the adsorption of phosphate on HZO 

precipitated at pH 4.8 or 8.0, while only the surface hydroxyl groups played the key role 

in the adsorption of phosphate on HZO precipitated at pH 10.6. Results of this work 

demonstrated that the HZO precipitated at pH 8.0 or 10.6 was a more promising adsorbent 

for removing phosphate from wastewater than the HZO precipitated at pH 4.8. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined by GC5000, an automatic on-

line Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector. Elemental carbon (EC) and organic 

carbon (OC) were determined by the thermal/optical method using DRI-2001A during the 

periods of June 15th-July 15th 2015 and December 16th 2015 - January 15th 2016. The 

concentration of secondary organic aerosol(SOA) was estimated by fractional aerosol 

coefficients (FAC) and EC tracer method. The source apportionment relied on the positive 

matrix factorization model (PMF). There were several conclusions: First, aromatic 

hydrocarbon was the main substance causing the SOA pollution in the Nanjing Industrial 

district, the contributions of aromatic hydrocarbon to SOA during summer and winter were 

80.39% and 94.63%, respectively. The main contributers were benzene, toluene, 

ethylbenzene, m,p-xylene and o-xylene (BTEX). In the summer, SOA concentration ranged 

from 5.84-20.88 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>with an average of 12.15 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>and in the winter ranged from 2.17-17.73 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in which the 

average concentration was 6.91 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Secondly, SOA concentration 

decreased when wind and precipitation increased. By using the PMF model, a total of 

7sources of SOA were determined in summer and 6 were determined in winter. There were 3 

main sources in summer, including painting, petroleum processing and petrochemical 

industry, and the contributions to SOA were 0.65 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 0.21 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 0.18 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. In winter, 

the most important SOA pollution was from painting, in which the contribution was 0.94

Abstract:To investigate the characteristics of atmospheric environment and possible 

cross- boundary transports in the north of South China Sea, field experiments were 

carried out on Weizhou Island from March to April, 2015. The concentration and particle 

size distributions of atmospheric particulate matters were measured, and the 

concentration characteristics and the source of particulate matters were analyzed in 

combination with meteorological factors and back trajectory analysis. The results showed 

that: the PM<inf>1</inf>, PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>concentrations were 

(21&plusmn;12) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, (35&plusmn;19) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

(43&plusmn;20) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The mass concentrations of 

PM<inf>1</inf>, PM<inf>1-2.5</inf>and PM<inf>2.5-10</inf>accounted for 50%, 32%,18% of 

PM<inf>10</inf>mass concentrations, respectively. Besides, the number concentrations of 

particulate matters with particle sizes of 0.5-1 &mu;m, 1-2.5 &mu;m and 2.5-20 &mu;m 

accounted for 93.5%, 6.1% and 0.4% of the total number concentration, respectively. The 

particle number concentration was negatively correlated with visibility and air pressure. 

Backward trajectory analysis showed that air masses from southwest direction accounted 

for the highest frequency effect (45.9%), in this case, particulate matters with particle 

sizes of 0.5-1 &mu;m, 1-2.5 &mu;m and 2.5 &mu;m had the minimum number concentration and 

NO had the highest concentration. Air masses from the east direction accounted for 34.1% 

of the frequency effect with the minimum SO<inf>2</inf>concentration and the highest 

O<inf>3</inf>concentration. The concentrations of NO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>x</inf>, 

O<inf>3</inf>and CO were the minimum when air masses came from the south direction which 

accounted for 12.5% of the frequency effect. Air masses from the northeast had the lowest 

frequency effect (7.4%), but had the maximum particle number concentration, mass 

concentration and the concentration of gaseous pollutants except O<inf>3</inf>and NO. 

Atmospheric fine particles and gaseous pollutants on Weizhou island were affected by 

transport from Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia. Pollutants from Chinese mainland were 

mainly from industrial sources, while pollutants from Southeast Asia were mainly from the 

shipping business inside and outside ports. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Efficient visible light-driven C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOBr composite 

photocatalysts were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray 

diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis diffuse 

reflectance spectra and photoluminescence spectra for the phase composition and optical 

property. Taking rhodamine B (RhB) as the target pollutant, the photocatalytic activity 

and stability of photocatalysts were studied under visible light irradiation. 

Furthermore, the mechanism in the process of photocatalytic degradation was discussed by 

electron spin resonance spectroscopy analysis and the trapping experiment of generated 

radicals. The results indicated that C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOBr composite 

photocatalysts had excellent crystallization performance. Composited by 

C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>, BiOBr exhibited considerably higher photocatalytic activity 

by reducing the rate of electron-hole recombination. Among prepared composites with 

various C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>contents, 15% C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOBr 

exhibited the best efficiency for the degradation of RhB. After irradiation for 18 

minutes, the degradation rate of RhB was 100%, which was 1.5 times higher than that using 

pure BiOBr. The results also suggested that holes and &middot;O<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>were the main reactive species in the photocatalytic process for the RhB 

degradation, and holes played the leading role. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:A strengthen circulation anaerobic reactor (SCAR) treating artificial municipal 

wastewater was investigated under different volumetric loading rate(VLR) and the reactor 

performance, characteristics of granular sludge and microbial community structure were 

also tested in this experiment. The results of the experiment demonstrated that the 

hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 6h could be regarded as the key parameter dominating 

the efficient operation of SCAR reactor, in which condition the COD removal efficiency 

was above 75%. The coenzyme F<inf>420</inf>and the maximum specific methanogenic activity 

(SMA) of granular sludge increased with increasing VLR, and the EPS contents, especially 

TB-EPS in the granule sludge also increased obviously. Consistently, the characteristics 

of anaerobic granular sludge and the removal efficiency of the reactor were influenced by 

both sludge loading and HRT. The microbial community structure and its spatial 

distribution in the reactor were also affected by sludge loading, while the relative 

abundance of the microbial community with different metabolic characteristics in 

different spatial positions changed with the adjustment of the sludge loading. &copy;

Abstract:Twenty purple paddy soil samples were collected from the Prefectures of Hechuan 

and Tongliang, Chongqing, and sieved into particulate organic matter (0.053-2 mm, POM), 

sand fraction (0.053-2 mm) and fine soil fraction (&lt;0.053 mm). By comparing the 

concentration and distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and heavy metals among 

different components, the enrichment characteristics of POM for heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb 

and Zn) and its relationship with soil properties such as pH, CEC, clay content 

(&lt;0.002 mm) and SOC were investigated. The result showed that the contents of POM 

fraction in purple paddy soils ranged from 7.31 to 44.76 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, with 

an average level of 19.20 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, while the carbon contents ranged from 

96.61 to 263.17 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, which were significantly higher than those of 

their original soils and other two fractions. The contribution rates of organic carbon by 

POM to the total organic carbon of soils ranged from 8.63% to 48.62%, which accounted for 

a large pool of organic carbon. The average enrichment factors of POM fraction to Cu, Zn, 

Pb and Cd were 3.35, 1.14, 2.88 and 2.14, respectively. Compared with sand fraction and 

fine soil fraction, POM fraction showed a significantly higher contribution rate to heavy 

metals, which were 6.02%, 2.22%, 5.24% and 3.21%. In addition, the enrichment ability and 

contribution rate of POM to Cu and Pb were obviously greater than those of Zn and Cd. 

There was a significant positive correlation between content of POM fraction and soil 

properties such as SOC, pH, CEC and clay content, in which SOC was the key factor. The 

POM-C content and total amount were significantly correlated with SOC and clay content. 

The pH value, SOC and POM-C amount had a significant or extremely significant correlation 

with the amount of heavy metals in POM, in which SOC was the most critical one. Comparing 

with other heavy metals, the amount of zinc in POM had the highest regression coefficient 

and the closest relationship with soil properties. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The reuse of tailwater as recycled water requires an advanced nitrogen removal 

treatment, during which carbon source is added based on the tailwater quality. This study 

conducted an advanced nitrogen removal model test in constructed wetland to evaluate the 

effects of influent NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N loading on denitrification and carbon 

releasing. In the constructed wetland, bark was used as filler and carbon source for 

nitrogen removal. The results showed that nitrogen removal was steady in the constructed 

wetland filled with bark. Denitrification velocity followed the Monod equation, and it 

increased as the influent NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N loading increased. The saturation 

constant K<inf>S</inf>was 19.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N 

removal rate decreased as the influent NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N loading increased. 

During the early periods of operating the constructed wetland filled with bark, the 

carbon releasing amount and velocity increased as the influent NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N loading increased. Both factors were positively linearly correlated with the 

influent NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N loading. The static carbon releasing velocity was 

0.2 mg&middot;(g&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. Compared with the hollow and loose plant 

carbons, such as rotten wood, bark had a better performance and a longer cycle of carbon 

releasing, which made bark a good slow - release carbon source. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The adsorption of external phosphorus (P) and the distribution of dissolved 

inorganic P (DIP) in the sediment interstitial water and sedimentary P forms were 

researched under the ignited water purification sludge (IWPS) addition (mixing and 

capping). The results showed that the adsorption ability of the IWPS increased obviously, 

compared with the water purification sludge (WPS). It indicated that the 

S<inf>max</inf>increased by 43.7%, the EPC<inf>0</inf>decreased by 69.1% and the DPS 

decreased by 54.4%. The contribution of P disappearance in the overlying water had almost 

no difference between the mixing and capping with IWPS, but it was obviously higher than 

the control in both cases. Under the mixing condition, the adsorption of external P by 

unit IWPS was 2.3 times of that under the capping condition, if the contacting 

probability between the IWPS and the overlying water was considered. Under the capping 

condition, the DIP in the sediment interstitial water (1- 2 cm) was 33.17 times (average) 

of that under the mixing condition. It was attributed to the decrease of the dissolved 

oxygen penetration due to capping. Under the mixing condition, the external P tended to 

form Ca-P, while the percentages of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl-P and Fe/Al-P to Tot-P were bigger 

under the capping condition. It was suggested that the improvement of the sedimentary 

microenvironment by mixing with the IWPS was favorable for the adsorption of the external 

P and the immobilization of the internal P. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Heavy metals are one of the principal soil pollution sources. Contaminated soils 

affect the quality of agricultural products, and then threaten human health. Prediction 

of the contaminants distribution in the soil is the foundation of pollution evaluation 

and risk control. A total of 1 000 soil profiles were collected to investigate the 

spatial variation of soil cadmium (Cd) concentration in Guangdong province. These 

datasets were divided into two groups, about 900 samples for model training and the other 

100 for model validation. Six frequently used GIS spatial interpolation methods including 

Spline, Natural Neighbor, Ordinary Kriging, Inverse Distance Weighted, Local Polynomial 

Interpolation and Radial Basis Function, and Cubist which is a type of rule-based model 

were compared to determine their suitability parameters for estimating soil Cd 

concentration. Nine different resolutions including 2 000, 1 500, 1 000, 800, 500, 300, 

200, 150, and 90 m were selected to calculate, evaluate and compare their accuracy. The 

results showed that, &#9312; Quantitative assessment of the continuous surfaces showed 

that there was a large difference in the accuracy of the seven methods. Cubist was 

superior to GIS-based spatial interpolation methods at all resolutions. Cubist was the 

best tool for mapping the spatial distribution of Cd in soils with thirty-seven specific 

predictors relevant to the source and behavior of Cd (parent material, land use, soil 

type, soil properties, population density, gross domestic product per capita, and the 

lengths and classes of the roads surrounding the sampling sites, climatic factors, etc.) 

at 300 m&times;300 m resolution. The second was Spline, its accuracy was optimal at the 1 

500 m&times;1 500 m resolution. &#9313; Results of Cubist suggested that the soil Cd 

spatial distribution was primarily dependent on the properties of soil regional parent 

materials. And soil samples with higher Cd concentration mainly located in Carboniferous 

and Quaternary areas. &#9314; Spatially, Cd concentrations were higher in the Pearl River 

Delta region and north of Guangdong Province. Many hotspots existed throughout the Pearl 

River Delta region due to transportation and pollution of the river. The major 

anthropogenic inputs of heavy metals to soils and the environment were metalliferous 

mining and smelting in the north of Guangdong Province. The soil Cd geometric mean 

concentration of 0.147 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>was lower than that of China, however it 

varied from zero to 6.056 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The areas with soil Cd 

concentrations greater than 1.0 and 3.0 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>were 160 

km<sup>2</sup>and 2 140 km<sup>2</sup>respectively, accounting for 0.09% and 1.18% of the 

total area of Guangdong Province. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to elucidate the evolution mechanism of heavy metal species in landfill 

cells, three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3DEEM), 

fluorescence quenching titration and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) were employed to 

study the complexation process between Cu(II) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) 

from landfill with different ages. The experimental results indicated that the landfilled 

CDOM comprised protein-like, humic-like and fuvic-like matter. The relative content of 

protein-like matter decreased during the landfill process, whereas the humic-like and 

fuvic-like matter increased during the process. The range of the conditional stability 

constants and the percentage of fluorophores participated the complextion between Cu(II) 

and protein-like matter with different ages were 4.00-5.75 and 22.78%-95.30%, 

respectively. Those parameters changed slightly for humic-like matter with different 

ages, which ranged from 4.71 to 5.54 and from 42.35% to 61.46%, respectively. As regard 

to fulvic-like matter, those parameters were 4.44-5.25 and 46.14%-57.22%, respectively. 

The complexation ability of humic-like substances with Cu(II) decreased during the 

landfill process, though the percentage of fluorophores participated the complexation 

increased. The complexation ability of humic-like substances with Cu(II) was stronger 

than that of fulvic-like matter, though the percentage of fluorophores participated the 

complexation in humic-like matter was low compared with fulvic-like matter. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Multiple chemical forms of nitrogen in urban storm water make its management 

challenging. Three types of bioretention systems were constructed in 2015 with loamy sand 

as filter media, including a conventional freely drained bioretention (CB), a modified 

bioretetion incorporated a submerged zone (MB1), and a modified bioretention 

incorporating a submerged zone with woodchips addition (MB2). This study investigated the 

role of vegetation, the use of submerged zone and carbon addition in achieving co-

optimized dissolved nitrogen removal in bioretention systems. Twelve bioretention columns 

were monitored over a 12-month period of dosing with synthetic storm water under varying 

hydrology and nitrogen loading rates. All the studied bioretention systems could achieve 

very good ammonia removal (more than 95%) at an average inflow ammonia concentration of 

(5.45&plusmn;2.21) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The filter media sorption, nitrification and 

plants uptake were the main removal pathways for incoming ammonia. The effluent nitrate 

concentrations of the CB, MB1 and MB2 were (4.04&plusmn;2.64)mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>

(31.3%), (0.84&plusmn;1.18) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(85.7%), and (0.26&plusmn;0.48) 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(95.6%), respectively, at the average inflow nitrate 

concentration of (5.88&plusmn;2.32) mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The use of the native 

species P.alopecuroides, a submerged zone and woodchips addition could effectively 

decrease the effluent nitrate concentration, reduce the washout and achieve high nitrate 

removal. Both plants uptake and denitrification were the two major pathways for removal 

of inflow nitrate. Inflow magnitude, antecedent dry days and inflow nitrate concentration 

were the main factors influencing the effluent nitrate concentrations for the three 

bioretention systems. The results highlighted that the bioretention design of the native 

species P.alopecuroides incorporated a submerged zone with 10% woodchips addition could 

consistently and effectively remove storm water nitrate under hydrological regime and 

nitrogen loading rates. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Using vermicompost (CV) as raw material, its biochar (CVC350) was prepared at 

350&#8451; and then their physio-biochemical properties were characterized. Furthermore, 

adsorption studies were performed in a batch system for removing Pb<sup>2+</sup>and 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>ions from solution. The characterization results revealed much higher 

surface area, smaller pore size, greater aromaticity and nonpolarity of CVC350 as 

compared to CV. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that both the adsorption of 

Pb<sup>2+</sup>and Cd<sup>2+</sup>onto CV or CVC350 fitted Langmuir isotherm model very 

well, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb<sup>2+</sup>was in the order of 

CVC350&gt;CV, but no difference was observed for the adsorption capacity of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>between CV and CVC350. The desorption studies showed that both CV and 

CVC350 had much higher adsorption rate for Pb<sup>2+</sup>than that for Cd<sup>2+</sup>, 

and the Cd<sup>2+</sup>adsorbed could be more easily desorbed from CV and CVC350 compared 

with that for the Pb<sup>2+</sup>adsorbed. Both the dynamic adsorption process of 

Pb<sup>2+</sup>onto CV and CVC350 was a rapid process, however, the adsorption process of 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>onto CV and CVC350 could be separated into the first rapid step and the 

second slower step. The adsorption capacity of Pb<sup>2+</sup>or Cd<sup>2+</sup>onto CV 

and CVC350 was only affected by the much lower initial pH of the solution, besides, the 

adsorption capacity of Cd<sup>2+</sup>onto CV and CVC350 was relatively more influenced 

by the initial pH compared with that of Pb<sup>2+</sup>. Moreover, FTIR analysis showed 

that the adsorption of Pb<sup>2+</sup>and Cd<sup>2+</sup>on CV depended on the active 

sites such as aliphatic alcohol, aliphatic acid, carbonates as well as phosphate while 

that on CVC350 mainly relied on aromatic alcohol, aromatic acid and carbonates. &copy;

Abstract:The composition and distribution characteristics of chromophoric dissolved 

organic matter(CDOM) of Changjiang Estuary and its adjacent waters in spring (March 2015) 

and summer (July 2015) were evaluated by excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMs) 

in combination with parallel factor(PARAFAC) analysis. Three humic-like components [C1

(370/495 nm),C2(330/405 nm),C3(365/440 nm)] and one protein-like component [C4(295/345 

nm)] were identified. The distribution patterns of the four components in spring and 

summer were almost the same, showing a decreasing trend from Changjiang Estuary to 

adjacent waters. In spring, the high value areas of three humic-like components were 

located inside of Changjiang Estuary, and the high value areas of the protein-like 

component were located in the South Passage of Changjiang Estuary. In the surface layer, 

the CDOM was mainly from terrestrial input and human activities; the influence of 

terrestrial weakened in the middle layer because of the lower fluorescence intensity 

values; and in the bottom layer the fluorescence values were higher than those in the 

middle layer, which was caused by sediment resuspension. There were high value areas in 

the Daishan Island, which were related to human activities. In summer, the high value 

areas of CDOM were almost the same as those in spring, and all layers had similar 

fluorescence intensity values, which indicated that they were mixed evenly. CDOM in 

spring and summer had high humification index (HIX) values in the Changjiang Estuary, 

whereas for biological index (BIX), its high values appeared in the adjacent waters. Four 

components (C1-C4), a<inf>355</inf>and DOC, TN, TP, DO, Chl-a, Salinity were evaluated by 

redundancy analysis (RDA), which indicated that C1-C4 and TN, TP were mainly affected by 

terrestrial input and human activities, and DOC was affected by terrestrial and marine 

source together. The use of EEMs-PARAFAC in combination with multivariate analysis to 

parse the composition of CDOM revealed the source of CDOM and main influencing factors in 

Changjiang Estuary and adjacent waters, and plays an important role in the biogeochemical 

research of biogenic elements in estuarine waters. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Thirty-four water samples and twenty-three sediment samples from the urban 

rivers, ten water samples and five sediment samples from urban lakes were collected in 

Beijing. Ten PPCPs (acetaminophen, lincomycin, caffeine, trimethoprim, azithromycin, 

sulfamethoxazole, diltiazem, tylosin, carbamazepine, fluoxetine) were extracted from 

water samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and from sediment samples by ultrasonic 

extraction, and then analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with 

tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The ranges of geometric mean values were 0-655 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0-252 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in water samples from urban 

rivers and lakes,respectively. The range of detection ratio was 0-100% for 10 PPCPs in 

river water samples, caffeine was the dominant pollutant in water samples and the 

detection ratio was 100%, whereas sulfamethoxazole, diltiazem and tylosin were not 

detected in river samples. The range of detection ratio was 0-100% for 10 PPCPs in lake 

water samples. The detection ratios of acetaminophen, lincomycin, caffeine and 

azithromycin were 100%, whereas sulfamethoxazole, diltiazem, tylosin, carbamazepine were 

not detected in lake water samples. The ranges of geometric mean values were N.D.-1 709 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and N.D.-35.9 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>in sediment samples from 

urban rivers and lakes, respectively. The ranges of detection ratio were 4%-96% and 0-

100% for 10 PPCPs in river and lake sediment samples, respectively. The detection ratio 

of trimethoprim was 96% and that of tylosin was 4% in river sediment, the detection ratio 

of diltiazem was 100% and caffeine, tylosin,carbamazepine were not detected. The 

concentrations of PPCPs in water and sediment samples from Yongyin River, Liangshui 

River, Tonghui River, Bahe River were higher than those in other rivers. The 

concentrations of PPCPs in water and sediment samples from Yongding River,Kunyu River 

were lower than those in other rivers. Further risk assessment results showed that the 

overall risk was not high in water of rivers and lakes and the RQ values were below 0.1, 

which showed low risk to microorganisms. But the condition was not the same in sediment 

from rivers and lakes. The RQ values of acetaminophen were between 0.1 and 1 in sediments 

from Yongyin River, Tonghui River, Bahe River. The RQ values of lincomycin were between 

0.1 and 1 in sediments from Yongyin River, Wenyu River,Tonghui River, Hucheng River, Bahe 

River, Liangshui River, Houhai Lake. The RQ values of trimethoprim were between 0.1 and 1 

in sediments from Yongyin River, Qinghe River, Wenyu River, Tonghui River Hucheng River, 

Bahe River, Liangma River, Liangshui River and Houhai Lake. The RQ values of azithromycin 

were between 0.1 and 1 in sediments from Liangma River, Liangshui River, which all showed 

medium risk to microorganisms in sediments. The RQ values of azithromycin exceeded 1 from 

Yongyin River, Qinghe River, Wenyu River, Tonghui River, Bahe River and Houhai Lake, 

which showed high risk to microorganisms in sediments. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Variations of residual ozone concentration in pure water and Al<inf>2</inf>

(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>solution were studied. The spectral characteristics, contents 

of organic compounds and disinfection by products (DBPs) yields in preozonated, 

preozonated coagulated (POC) and ozonated combined coagulated (OC) waters were detected 

by differential absorbance(DA), three dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix 

spectroscopy (3D-EEM), GC and TOC. The purpose of the work was to investigate the effects 

of ozonation combined with coagulation on their oxidation extents of organic matter and 

the production of DBPs. Studies showed that there were remarkable differences between the 

two processes, POC and OC, which proved the existence of joint interaction of ozone and 

coagulant. The joint interaction involved the following aspects. &#9312; Decomposition 

rate of ozone was improved; and the free radical production was increased during OC 

compared with POC. Comparing to ozone alone, 15.2% and 23.9% more radical capture with 

ozone 2mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Al<sup>3+</sup>1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 3 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>were detected. &#9313; The difference of OC and POC was found in 

that organic matter removal of OC was lower than that of POC. The pathways of OC and POC 

showed difference, which resulted in differences of reaction between organic matter and 

disinfectant, as well as yields of DBPs. OC removed UV<inf>254</inf>and DOC more 

efficiently than single ozonation or single coagulation; but less efficiently than POC. 

DCAAFP (Dichloroacetic acid formation potential) and TCAAFP (Trichloroacetic acid 

formation potential) were 47 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 20.5 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>respectively after treatment by POC with O<inf>3</inf>1mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 

Al<sup>3+</sup>1mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and chloroform formation potential (CFFP) was 

97.8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which were 51%, 64.6% and 41.5% respectively lower than 

those in the raw water. Under the same dose conditions, DCAAFP, TCAAFP and CFFP after OC 

were 48.4 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 21.4 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 117.3 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, which were 49.6%, 63% and 29.5% lower than 

those in raw water. The difference between the efficiencies of POC and OC would be 

enlarged with increase of coagulant dose under the same ozone dose. Considering its 

safety and efficiency, the ozone dosage, adding spot and coagulant species must be taken 

into account when combined treatment of preozonation and coagulation is used; further 

investigations are also needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The concentration, potential source and health risks of 16 polycyclic aromatic 

hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere of Dajiuhu, Shennongjia, China, were studied. 

Polyurethane foam (PUF) Passive air samplers (PAS) were settled. The results indicated 

that the total concentrations of 16 PAHs in different samples ranged from 6.94 to 184.23 

ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, with the mean of 30.36 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The dominant 

compounds were low rings PAHs, such as Phe, Nap, Pyr, Fla, Flu and Ant. Compared with 

other regions, the PAHs pollution of Dajiuhu atmosphere was at a low level. Higher PAHs 

concentrations were detected in nearby Deer farm, Dajiuhu peat area and Dajiuhu Wetland 

Authority. Higher PAHs concentrations were detected in autumn and winter, whereas lower 

concentrations were detected in spring and summer. Potential pollution sources of PAHs 

were investigated by diagnostic ratios and backward trajectory analysis, which indicated 

that coal and biofuel combustion, vehicle emissions and petroleum were the main sources. 

PAHs of Dajiuhu in air not only came from local emission, but also originated from Hubei, 

Henan and Hunan's atmosphere transport for most part and long range transport from 

northwest direction for small part. Health risks assessment results showed that the 

annual average concentration of total Benzo(a)pyrene-equivalent carcinogenic potency 

(&sum;BaP<inf>eq</inf>) was 0.208 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, lower than the value 

recommended by Ambient Air Quality Standard of China(GB 3095-2012, 1 ng&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>), indicating a low carcinogenic risk for the local residents. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Honeycomb briquet,biomass briquettes and bituminous coal from suburb of Beijing 

were chosen as testing samples to carry out combustion experiments. The characteristics 

of inorganic pollutant emission factors and VOCs emission factors released from the flue 

gas were studied. The results showed that under the condition of sufficient combustion, 

the average emission factors of SO<inf>2</inf>from these three types of coal respectively 

were 1.50,1.91,1.62 kg&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>; NO<inf>x</inf>0.420,0.901,2.20 

kg&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>; CO 22.4,37.3,87.3 kg&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>. Combustion emission 

factors of gaseous pollutants for NO<inf>x</inf>and CO were in the order of bituminous 

coal&gt;biomass briquettes&gt;honeycomb briquet. SO<inf>2</inf>emission factors were in 

the order of biomass briquettes&gt;bituminous coal&gt;honeycomb briquet. The 2014 

emissions inventory of the three civil coal combustion pollutants in Beijing was 

obtained. Bituminous coal emissions of SO<inf>2</inf>was more than 

5.5&times;10<sup>3</sup>tons,NO<inf>x</inf>was more than 7.5&times;10<sup>3</sup>tons,CO 

was more than 290&times;10<sup>3</sup>tons. All these coal types released more kinds and 

higher concentrations of volatile organic compounds in ignition phase and damp down 

stage. VOCs emission factor was the highest during ignition phase, followed by damp down 

phase. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:We chose Escherichia coli (E. coli) and poliovirus as a typical pathogenic 

bacterium and virus, respectively. The effects of two typical disinfectants (chlorine and 

ultraviolet) on each of them were investigated based on microbial culture and 

quantitative PCR methods. The results showed that Poliovirus was appreciably more 

resistant to chlorine (required disinfection dose for 1-log microbial reduction: 10.14 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>&middot;min for E. coli; 19.2 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>&middot;min 

for poliovirus) and ultraviolet (UV) light (required UV dose for 1-log microbial 

reduction: 1.81 mJ&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>for E. coli; 6.37 mJ&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>for 

poliovirus) than E. coli for the microbial culture. For PCR, this study revealed that 1-

log gene reduction required UV doses and ct values of at least one to two orders of 

magnitude higher than that for the microbial culture. The damage of RNA in Poliovirus was 

more seriously than that of DNA in E. coli. Single-stranded RNA was more sensitive to UV 

irradiation than DNA. The result evaluated with the quantitative PCR method showed 

opposite result to that of the traditional culture method in which the Poliovirus was 

more tolerant. The required UV doses for 1-log nucleic acid reduction were 135 

mJ&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>and 270.3 mJ&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>for E. coli and poliovirus, 

respectively. Nucleic acid damage required a higher dose of disinfectants than microbial 

inactivation, which was probably attributed to the phenomenon of viable but non-

culturable (VBNC) cells, other molecular targets of inactivation and the persistence of 

nucleic acid after cell death. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:High-solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) of sludge has several advantages like 

smaller reactor, lower energy consumption and less digestate. However, the understanding 

about the mechanism especially the microbial mechanism is still limited. In this study, 

microbial communities of a pilot-scale sludge HSAD system at steady state were 

investigated with 16S rRNA clone library technology. The system employed an enhanced 

two-phase anaerobic digestion process, i. e. 'hyperthermophilic acidogenesis (70&#8451;, 

3 d) - thermophilic methanogenesis (55&#8451;, 12.5 d)' to treat waste activated sludge 

with a solid content of about 9%. The volatile solid (VS) removal rate was 35.7% and 

methane yield (CH<inf>4</inf>/VS<inf>removed</inf>) was 0.648 

m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The bacterial compositions of the two phases were 

significantly different: there were plenty of proteolytic bacteria in hyperthermophilic 

acidogenesis phase; and the bacteria degrading polysaccharides like cellulose and the 

bacteria utilizing long-chain fatty acids were found in thermophilic methanogenesis 

phase; some bacteria degrading simple saccharides existed in both phases. In both phases, 

the dominant archaea were Methanothermobacter. Especially, 100% of the retrieved archaea 

in the thermophilic methanogenesis phase belonged to genus Methanothermobacter. This 

indicated that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was the predominant methanogenesis pathway 

in this system since methane was only detected in the methanogenesis phase. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Based on the revolving drum test bench, an experimental study was conducted in 

heavy-duty diesel vehicle at China Stage &#8546; with and without DOC+CDPF to investigate 

the effects of DOC+CDPF on the gaseous and particle emission characteristics under C-WTVC 

driving cycle. The results showed that from city circulation conditions to high way 

circulation conditions to high-speed circulation conditions, the CO, THC, 

CO<inf>2</inf>and PM emission factors of the test vehicle without DOC+CDPF decreased 

while NO<inf>x</inf>and PN emission factors increased, the particle number concentration 

showed two peaks versus the size of the particles and accumulated particles predominated. 

After the test vehicle was equipped with DOC+CDPF, the emissions factors decreased and 

the faster the circulation speed, the greater the decreasing amplitudes of the emissions 

factors. Throughout the C-WTVC, the decreasing amplitudes of CO, THC, CO<inf>2</inf>, and 

NO<inf>x</inf>emission factors were 70.36%, 72.73%, 17.00% and 7.76%, the PM and PN 

emission factors decreased by 93.77% and 98.91% respectively. The particle number 

concentration still had two peaks versus the size of the particles and the nuclear mode 

particles predominated. Besides, the size of the accumulated particles peak diminished.

Abstract:Soil respiration is an important process for carbon emission. A field study was 

conducted with four treatments including T (traditional tillage+straw mulching level 0 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), R (ridge tillage+straw mulching level 0 kg&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>), RS1 (ridge tillage+straw mulching level 3 750 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), and 

RS2 (ridge tillage+straw mulching level 7 500 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), so as to probe 

the effects of ridge tillage and straw mulching amount on soil respiration and soil 

organic carbon(SOC) and the relationships of soil respiration rate with soil temperature 

and water content (SWC) during the growth period of fava bean in the triple intercropping 

system of fava bean/maize/sweat pomato in dryland region of southwest China known as the 

purple hilly region. The changes of soil respiration rate were in accordance with crop 

growing, being firstly increased and then decreased during the whole growth period of 

fava bean, and there were significant differences in soil respiration rate among 

different treatments, which could be ranked as RS2 [3.365 g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]&gt;RS1 [2.935 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>]&gt;T[2.683 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]&gt;R [2.263 

g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]. Ridge tillage reduced soil respiration 

in fava bean farmland, whereas straw mulching treatment increased it, whose variation 

trend was in accordance with that of straw mulching levels. There was a significant 

exponential relationship between soil respiration and soil temperature at 5 cm and 10 cm 

depth, and the exponential model at 10 cm produced better fitness than that at 5 cm. The 

temperature sensitivity (Q<inf>10</inf>) at 10 cm could be ranked as 

RS2&gt;RS1&gt;R&gt;T, being 1.751, 1.665, 1.616, and 1.35, respectively. The combined 

exponential model indicated that soil temperature and water content (SWC) could jointly 

explain 68%(R), 79%(RS1) and 76%(RS2) of variation in soil respiration. This study 

results suggested that ridge tillage and straw mulching significantly increased SOC of 0

-5 cm, 5-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-30 cm soil layers, and the increase of SOC was in 

accordance with that of straw mulching levels. The SOC was significantly increased in 5-

10 cm and 10-20 cm soil layers, which could be ranked as RS2&gt;RS1&gt;R&gt;T, and the 

increases in SOC at 5-10 cm were especially notable. The weighted average of particulate 

organic carbon (POC) at 0-30 cm was significantly increased, but the proportion of POC in 

SOC did not show significant influence. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on the drinking water quality survey data of China's major cities, the 

existing disease burden calculation method was improved and disability-adjusted life 

years (DALYs) was taken as the end of evaluation to assess the health risk of arsenic 

contamination level. The results showed that the concentration of arsenic in drinking 

water of major cities in China was very low (0.53 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), far below 

the national limit (10 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and the total lifetime cancer 

incidence was 1.76&times;10<sup>-5</sup>. The order of risks of different kinds of 

cancers was: skin cancer (1.53&times;10<sup>-5</sup>)&gt;lung cancer 

(2.25&times;10<sup>-6</sup>)&gt;liver cancer (2.30&times;10<sup>-8</sup>)&gt;bladder 

cancer (1.34&times;10<sup>-10</sup>) and the average disease burden was 

1.91&times;10<sup>-6</sup>per person-year. Among them, skin cancer and lung cancer 

accounted for 70.2% and 29.0% respectively, and the disease burdens of bladder cancer and 

liver cancer were negligible, but the overall cancer risk was still higher than the 

recommended level of 10<sup>-6</sup>per person-year by WHO. Although the arsenic level of 

drinking water in China was not high, the risk of cancer could not be ignored. Thus more 

effective and feasible measures should be taken to reduce arsenic concentration to 

protect people's drinking water safety in the future. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Non-thermal plasma was used as a pretreatment technology for bio-trickling 

filter, employing chlorobenzene and dichloroethane as target pollutants. This experiment 

was conducted to study the purification effect and degradation product in NTP under 

different frequency power supply,to provide a theoretical basis for coupling with 

biotechnology. The results showed that the removal efficiency for mixed waste gas in the 

plasma first increased and then decreased with the increase of the SIE. The maximum 

energy efficiency was obtained at 6 111 J&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>under high frequency power 

and 7 167 J&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>under low frequency condition, respectively. Extending 

residence time caused a rise in mixed gas removal efficiency, but the removal load didn't 

always increase and the highest removal load was observed with the residence time of 5 s, 

so 5 s was regarded as the optimal reaction condition for the subsequent analysis in this 

study. The degradation products were analyzed under the specific conditions. Experimental 

results showed that the amount and the selectivity of carbon dioxide both increased with 

the increase of SIE in the plasma reactor. The amount of ozone increased to a maximum 

value and then decreased with the increase of SIE in the plasma reactor, and the amount 

of ozone produced in low-frequency power plasma was lower than that in high-frequency 

power. The trend of TOC values was similar to the trend of ozone generation, indicating 

that the best water solubility was obtained at the highest energy efficiency. &copy;

Abstract:The emissions of greenhouse gas in winter are often neglected, and the latest 

research results showed that N<inf>2</inf>O emissions in fallow paddy field and winter 

oilseed rape are still large, research on mitigating the N<inf>2</inf>O flux and the 

mechanism behind them is of significance for mitigating N<inf>2</inf>O emissions from 

agricultural soil. By using static chamber techniques and molecular biology techniques, 

the N<inf>2</inf>O emission as well as the community composition and abundance of ammonia 

oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) from fallow paddy field, 

rape cropping with and without DCD treatment in Taoyuan agricultural ecological 

experiment station of the Chinese Academy of sciences were measured. The results showed 

that the addition of DCD significantly inhibited N<inf>2</inf>O emissions in fallow paddy 

field and rape cropping by 36.7% and 23.6%, respectively. The application of DCD in 

fallow paddy field inhibited the abundance of AOA and AOB by 59.3% and 73.7%, 

respectively, but only changed the community structure of AOA. The addition of DCD in 

rape cropping only changed the community structure and inhibited the abundance of AOB. 

This research showed that DCD application could effectively mitigate the N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions in fallow paddy field and winter rape cropping under different mitigation 

mechanisms. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

an ASBR reactor, and the dynamic characteristics of the marine anaerobic ammonium 

oxidizing bacteria at different temperatures were simulated by modified Logistic model. 

The experimental results indicated that the nitrogen removal performance was affected 

little at 25-35&#8451;. The total nitrogen removal efficiency (TNRE) remained at 

(82&plusmn;2)% and the total nitrogen removal rate (TNRR) was stabilized at 

(0.62&plusmn;0.01) kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. When the temperature 

was 20&#8451;, TNRE increased from 59% at the beginning to 79% after 13 days. This 

indicated that the marine anammox bacteria still had strong ability of nitrogen removal, 

and the reactor in the low temperature treatment of sewage containing seawater had a good 

potential. However, when the temperature dropped to 10-15&#8451;, the nitrogen removal 

performance of the reactor was inhibited. TNRE decreased to (40&plusmn;8)% and 

(11&plusmn;4)%, respectively. Besides, TNRR also decreased to (0.30&plusmn;0.04) 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and (0.08&plusmn;0.03) kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. According to the Arrhenius equation, 

the activation energy for marine anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction was 26 

kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>at 25-35&#8451;, and the activation energy of marine anaerobic 

ammonium oxidation reaction was 76 kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>at 10-25&#8451;. In 

addition, dynamic analysis was performed by Logistic model and the NRE and effluent total 

nitrogen concentration (c<inf>eff</inf>) at different temperatures were forecasted. The 

correlation coefficient R<sup>2</sup>was between 0.966 8 and 0.995 7. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The particles number concentrations were determined by Wide-range Particle 

Spectrometer (WPS) in northern suburb of Nanjing in January and April 2015. The 

information of size distributions was applied in the multiple-path particle dosimetry 

model (MPPD) v.3.04 to quantify deposition fractions (DF) and number concentration (NC) 

depositions of fine particles in different regions of human airway, at different air 

quality levels, at rest and exercise. DF of nucleation mode and Aitken mode at rest and 

exercise were similar, while DF of accumulation mode at exercise was 2.49 times of that 

at rest. DF of nucleation mode and Aitken mode in pulmonary (PUL) was the highest, about 

48.17% of total deposition fractions (TDF) at rest and 54.23% of TDF at exercise. DF of 

accumulation mode in head was the highest, about 41.23% of TDF at rest and 80.47% of TDF 

at exercise. The particle NC deposition in human airway in winter was lower than that in 

spring, and the total NC deposition in 3 regions was in the order of 

PUL&gt;tracheobronchial(TB)&gt;head. Compared with resting, nucleation mode deposition in 

PUL and accumulation mode deposition in TB and head increased at exercise. The worse the 

air quality, the higher the deposition growth rate of exercising to resting in head. DF 

difference among regions was mainly due to the different physiological parameters, while 

NC deposition difference was mainly due to the different particle NC in the local 

environment. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Phthalic acid esters have potential environmental risk due to their endocrine 

disrupting effect. The biodegradable and removal characteristics of 11 phthalicacidesters 

were studied. The results showed that dimethyl phthalate(DMP), dimethoxyethyl phthalate 

(BMEP), diethyl phthalate(DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate(DIBP), 

dinamyl phthalate (DNPP), di-n-hexyl phthalate(DNHP)and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 

(DEHP) had ready biodegradability, dinonyl phthalate (DNP)and dicyclohexyl phthalate 

(DHP)could be biodegraded but did not pass the 10 d window-period, and only 43.5% of 

diphenyl phthalate (DPP) was biodegraded on 28d. The degradation curves of 11 PAEs all 

obeyed typical first-order kinetics in aerobic sludge kinetics test, with the correlation 

coefficient r<sup>2</sup>&gt;0.96, the degradation rate constant was between 0.021-1.11 

h<sup>-1</sup>, and the degradation half-life was between 0.625-32.7 h. In aerobic sludge 

simulation test, the removal rates of 10 PAEs were &gt;80% at hydraulic detention time of 

12h, except that DNPP was only 55%-70%. The removal rates of all PAEs reached 90% at 

hydraulic detention time of 24h. The relative high exposure in effluent for DMP, DEP, 

DIBP, DBP and DEHP was found by using GC/MS, with the residue concentrations of ND-44.0, 

ND-12.0, 60.4-594, 88.0-823 and 130-728 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

results from STP model prediction showed that the removal in STP was mainly contributed 

by biodegradation, but for DPP, DNP and DEHP, the absorption removal was also an 

important removal way. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Biochar could be used as a stabilizer to control the migration and 

transformation of pollutants in soil and reduce their environmental risks. Cetirizine 

(CTZ) was selected as a target pollutant to investigate the effect of biochar on sorption 

characteristics of loessial soil by batch experiments. Biochars were produced from walnut 

shell at different temperatures and added to soil at different mass ratios. The results 

indicated that all biochars showed obviously higher sorption capacity than loessial soil. 

The sorption capacity for CTZ was obviously enhanced by soils amended with biochars 

produced at 400-700&#8451;, which could be attributed to the increased bulk carbon 

content and specific surface area (SA). Sorption of CTZ to mixtures, excluding the soils 

amended with biochar produced at 300&#8451;, was lower than the theoretical value. This 

could be due to the cross-effect between soil components and biochar. At the same time, 

the organic matter and native sorbates in soil may block or compete for adsorption sites 

on biochar surface. Biochars would be helpful to stabilize the loessial soil contaminated 

with CTZ. However, for relatively low concentration of CTZ in aqueous solution and soils 

amended with relatively high biochar mass ratio, the sorption capacity of the mixtures 

could be overestimated theoretically without considering the cross-effect between soil 

and biochar. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A total of 70 precipitation samples were collected from August 2014 to August 

2015 in Shanghai and the oxygen and hydrogen isotope of precipitation were analyzed. The 

relationship between the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and deuterium excess of precipitation and 

ENSO events was addressed. The results showed that &delta;D and &delta;<sup>18</sup>O of 

precipitation in Shanghai were higher in winter and spring than in summer and fall. The 

slope of meteoric water line with these data was a little smaller than the global 

meteoric water line. The main reason could be the unbalanced secondary evaporation in the 

process of precipitation. The correlation between the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O in 

precipitation and temperature and precipitation varied in different time scales. On a 

seasonal scale, this work revealed that there was no significant temperature effect in 

winter, but significant precipitation effect was found in the annual scales, which was 

obviously affected by the atmospheric circulation. &delta;<sup>18</sup>O values and 

deuterium excess in precipitation recorded the La Ni&ntilde;a and El Ni&ntilde;o 

conversion process. During the La Ni&ntilde;a event, the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and d 

values were more negative than those in the El Ni&ntilde;o event. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:This study aimed to understand the soil actinobacterial community diversity in 

the urban and rural hydro-fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir region. The 

hydro-fluctuation zone of Chongqing Great Theatre in Jiangbei District and the Ruxi river 

basin in Zhong County, Chongqing, was chosen as the study area. Soil samples were 

collected in June 2015, to measure actinobacterial biodiversity using the terminal-

restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) molecular method. Results showed that: 

(1) The actinobacterial biodiversity was different in the urban and rural hydro-

fluctuation zone after artificial vegetation restoration. The actinobacterial 

biodiversity of the urban hydro-fluctuation zone was significantly higher than that of 

the rural hydro-fluctuation zone (P&lt;0.05), which was most obvious in the surface soil. 

(2) The actinobacterial biodiversity of woodland was higher than that of grassland, but 

there was no significant difference in the actinobacterial biodiversity among the three 

soil layers in both the urban and rural hydro-fluctuation zone. (3) The dominant species 

of actinomycetes was different in different samples. (4) Redundancy analysis and the 

Monte-Carlo test revealed that water content and available nitrogen (AN) played a 

critical role in influencing actinobacterial biodiversity in the urban hydro-fluctuation 

zone (P&lt;0.05). In contrast, the water content, organic matter (OM), available nitrogen 

(AN) and available phosphorus (AP) played a critical role in influencing actinobacterial 

biodiversity in the rural hydro-fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir region 

(P&lt;0.05). Thus, we concluded that the actinobacterial biodiversity of the urban 

hydro-fluctuation zone was significantly higher than that of the rural hydro-fluctuation 

zone in the Three Gorges Reservoir region, and such a result was attributed to the 

increased human disturbance and soil nutrients. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Two SBRs which were under high ammonia loading [1 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>] and different dual inhibition with feed-batch were 

employed to study how to control the stability of partial nitritation system. The 

experimental result showed that the dual inhibition of FNA and DO or FA and DO could 

implement partial nitrification process at 35&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451; and the ammonia 

concentration of 1 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The effluent NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N ratio was about 1, and the effluent 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentration was close to 0, which was suitable for the 

appropriate influent for the ANAMMOX. In R1, under the dual inhibition of high FA and low 

DO concentration, the nitrite oxidizing rate was reduced from 28.16 mg&middot;

(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.3 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>(calculated as 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, the same as below). The ammonia oxidizing rate decreased by 

43.60%, which was stable at about 20 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>(calculated as 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, the same as below). In R2, under the dual inhibition of 

high FNA and low DO concentration, the nitrite oxidizing rate reduced from 12.37 

mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.02 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>. But the 

ammonia oxidizing rate remained at a higher level [45 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>]. Comparing the nitrification performance of the two SBRs under different control 

strategies, the dual inhibition of high FNA and low DO concentration had the advantages 

of short cultivation period, high biological activity and stable operation. It is 

therefore more suitable for the achievement of the partial nitrification. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In order to study the pollution status of heavy metals in sediments of Suya 

Lake, the concentrations of heavy metals Cu, Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb and Ni in sediments were 

measured at three locations in the center, middle and periphery of Suya Lake, the content 

characteristics and the pollution status of heavy metals in the study area were analyzed 

by the method of geoaccumulation index and potential ecological risk index, and the 

distribution and interrelation of heavy metals were evaluated by Kriging method and 

correlation analysis. The results showed that, on average, Zn was the highest, 112.87 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, followed by Cr, the smallest average of Cd was only 0.41 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. In addition to Cd and Cr, the coefficients of variation of Cu, 

Zn, Pb and Ni were relatively small, ranging from 24% to 31%, with moderate degree of 

variation. The coefficients of variation of Cd and Cr were 50.41% and 41.92%, 

respectively, and the spatial variation was obvious, which indicated that the variation 

of Cd and Cr was more significant than the others; (2)The heavy metals Cu, Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb 

and Ni had a strong linear relationship, and there was a significant positive 

correlation, and six kinds of heavy metals had some homologous characteristics, with a 

common external input; (3)The main pollution elements in the study area were Cd, Cr and 

Zn, the pollution degree was relatively serious, and the scope was extensive. Among them, 

the pollution degree of Cd was the most serious, the overall pollution level was 

moderate, and the pollution degree in some sample areas reached up to severe pollution, 

the pollution status of Cr, Zn and Pb was relatively mild, the pollution status of Cu, Pb 

and Ni was better, and there was no ecological risk; (4)On the whole, the pollution level 

of the northeastern part of Suya Lake was relatively light, the degree of pollution in 

the southwest was relatively serious, showing a significant spatial distribution 

characteristics of decreasing from southwest to northeast, the contents of heavy metals 

in the samples were higher than those in the southwest of the reservoir, while the 

northeastern part of the periphery was the area with accumulation of low concentrations 

of heavy metals., and there was no pollution from Cu, Cr, Zn and Ni. &copy; 2017, Science

which were all higher than the background value. The enrichment factor of Cd was 33.05, 

with enrichment degree of strongly enriched. The enrichment degrees of Cu, Pb and Zn were 

all significantly enriched. These four heavy metals may come not only from transportation 

source, but also from natural source and regional industrial polluted gas. The enrichment 

factors of Ni and Cr were low, which may result from natural source. With the elevation 

of house height, the concentration of Cd increased, the concentrations of Pb and Zn 

increased first and then decreased, while Cu showed no significant differences. Zn, Cd, 

Cu and Pb mainly existed in the active form, while Ni and Cr mainly existed in the 

residual form. The bioaccessiblity of Zn and Cd was high, while that of other heavy 

metals was low. The modified potential ecology risk evaluation results showed that the 

risk of Cd was extremely high, and contributed mainly to the potential risk index of 

multi-element. The Cd from the windowsill of high height showed higher potential 

ecological risk. The carcinogenic risk of Cr to children was higher than the threshold 

value, while the carcinogenic risk and non-carcinogenic risk of other metals to children 

and adults were all below the safety thresholds. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:To investigate the microcystins(MCs: MC-RR, MC-LR and MC-YR) exposure from 

drinking water source and to assess the health risk using Monte Carlo simulation method. 

90 samples randomly collected from five sample points set along the river were determined 

using the national standard method (GB/T 20466-2006) during the period of January to June 

2016. Professional risk assessment software @Risk7.0 was used to evaluate the dietary 

intake (exposure) risk of MCs based on building a nonparametric probabilistic evaluation 

model. First, 90 samples with the MCs were collected for fitting of distribution and the 

optimal fitting distribution model was selected from the results of three statistical 

test methods: the Chi-Squared test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov 

test. Of the 90 water samples tested, the most frequently detectable MCs was MC-RR with 

the detectable rate of up to 51.11% within the content range of 0.001 7-0.386 3 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, followed by 47.78% of MC-LR within the range of 0.028 5-

0.279 6 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 21.11% of MC-YR within 0.003 0-0.136 2 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. These results indicated that vast majority of MCs in testing 

samples were at relatively low levels with the highest concentration of MC-RR at 0.386 3 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and MC-YR concentration was the lowest from drinking water 

source. The fit distribution of MC-LR concentration was the ExtValueMin(0.113 91, 0.098 

462) and that of MC-RR was Logistic(0.058 064, 0.053 044)(the first number was &mu; as 

the position parameter, the second number was &sigma; as the scale parameter). The result 

indicated that health risks of MC-LR from drinking water source were higher than those of 

MC-RR and MCs pollution and would lead to high potential health risks especially for 

children. The health risks caused by the MC-LR from drinking water source for children 

were significantly higher than the maximum allowance levels recommended by USEPA

(1&times;10<sup>-4</sup>), and the health risks caused by the MC-LR from drinking water 

source for adults were significantly higher than the maximum allowance levels recommended 

by ICRP(5&times;10<sup>-5</sup>). Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the protection 

and monitoring of drinking water source for effective control of water pollution and 

protection of human health. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Immobilization of activated sludge was used to further remove nitrogen from 

secondary effluent. Intermittent sequencing batch reactor experiments were conducted to 

measure nitrogen removal in synthetic wastewater with initial total nitrogen 

concentrations (TN) of 10-45 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and C/N ratio of 1.78-10, and 

microbial community characteristic of embedding beads was investigated. When the packing 

ratio of embedding beads was 10%, and the temperature of wastewater, dissolved oxygen 

(DO), initial concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were maintained at 10-

15&#8451;, 2-4 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 80-100 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively, the results showed that the maximum total nitrogen removal loads ranged 

from 7.78 to 23.18 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>during the stable phase. SEM 

observations showed that the embedding beads were highly porous and microorganisms 

adhered to the interior and external surface of embedding beads, demonstrating that 

embedding beads acted as an ideal support material. Based on high-throughput sequencing 

analysis, the structure of microbial communities in the beads'interior and exterior 

changed significantly compared with embedding activated sludge. The advantage of 

denitrifying bacteria in embedding beads was obvious and the microbial diversity was 

good. Some microorganisms which can conduct both heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic 

denitrification, were identified. These processes may facilitate pathways for 

untraditional biological denitrification in the beads'interior. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Simultaneous collections of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) were carried out at 

15 sampling sites including urban, suburb and potential pollution areas in Cangzhou City 

in spring 2015. The results showed that NMHCs were generally higher in urban areas than 

those in suburb and rural areas; the highest concentration of NMHCs was observed at 

Cangzhou High-tech zone (urban area); the concentrations of NMHCs were significantly 

lower at rural sites than in most urban sites except Hejian site; vehicular emissions 

were the main sources of NMHCs in Cangzhou; Cangzhou chemical fertilizer plant and 

Cangzhou oil refinery had no significant influence on urban NMHCs during their shutdown 

period; Dagang Oilfield, with better oil and gas recovery systems, did not have a 

significant impact on urban NMHCs. In general, alkanes, alkenes and aromatics accounted 

for 65%, 16% and 19% of NMHCs in Cangzhou City, respectively; xylene (19%), ethylene 

(14%), toluene(11%), propylene (5%), isopentane (5%) and isopentene (5%) were the most 

dominant contributors to ozone formation potential; aerosol formation potential was 

mainly derived from toluene (28%), pinene (28%), xylene(16%), ethylbenzene (9%) and 

benzene (9%). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Samples of particulate sources in Yuncheng including road dust, salt lake dust, 

coal dust, soil dust, construction,cement dust and vehicle exhaust dust were collected. 

Elements, ions and carbon species in particulate sources samples were analyzed. 

Enrichment factors and potential ecological risk assessment were used to analyze the 

characteristics of road dust, and chemical mass balance model was applied to identify the 

source of road dust. The results showed that, compared with other cities, the proportions 

of Na(12.197 0%) and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>(8.597 1%) were relatively high while 

that of Si(9.112 3%) was low in road dust in Yuncheng, and enrichment factors showed that 

the sources of Pb, Cu, Cr, V, As, Ni, Na and Zn in road dust were obviously influenced by 

human activities; the potential ecological risk of heavy metals in road dust was high, 

which was affected by anthropogenic sources such as industrial production, the combustion 

of fossil fuels and vehicle exhaust; the profiles of coal dust, vehicle exhaust dust, 

construction and cement dust were similar to those of other cities, the Na and 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>concentrations in soil dust were relatively high, and the 

proportions of Na and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>in salt lake dust were 30.3% and 22.7% 

respectively; salt lake dust was the largest contributor (53%) to road dust, followed by 

the soil dust (21%), vehicle exhaust dust (8%), construction and cement dust (7%), and 

coal dust (5%). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Anode material is one of the most important factors on the application of 

microbial fuel cells for wastewater treatment due to its key role in forming 

exoelectrogenic biofilm and transferring electrons along with the high investment cost. 

In this study, carbon brush (CB), carbon cloth (CC) and graphite felt (GF) were 

investigated as alternative anode materials for 6 L single-chamber dual air-cathode 

microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in terms of starting-up rate and electricity production with 

artificial wastewater and slaughter wastewater. The cost effectiveness of anode materials 

was also evaluated. The results showed that anode materials had no obvious effect on the 

start-up of MFC. All MFCs finished their started-up on day 24. Using artificial 

wastewater [acetate 1 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in 50 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>phosphate 

buffer (PBS)] as substrate, the maximum power densities for the CB, CC and GF-MFCs were 

(56.3&plusmn;1.8) W&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, (46.0&plusmn;1.7) W&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 

(40.8&plusmn;1.5) W&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, while with slaughter wastewater MFCs could 

produce (19.5&plusmn;0.8) W&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, (16.9&plusmn;0.6) W&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, and (11.9&plusmn;0.5) W&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. COD removals of all 

the MFCs were approximately 90% with both artificial wastewater and slaughter wastewater. 

The CB-MFCs had a cost of (3.44&plusmn;0.08) mW&middot;yuan<sup>-1</sup>with the 

artificial wastewater and (0.97&plusmn;0.05) mW&middot;yuan<sup>-1</sup>with slaughter 

wastewater, which were 18.6%, 12.8% higher than that of CC-MFCs and 38.7%, 80% higher 

than that of GF-MFCs, respectively. These results demonstrate that carbon brush is the 

most suitable material used in large-scale MFC. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Humic acids (HAs) play important roles in mediating the occurring forms and 

activity of Lead (Pb) in soils. Simulating experiments together with chemical sequential 

extraction were carried out to understand the dynamics of lead transformation and 

availability in purple alluvial soil as influenced by humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid 

(FA) and their ratios (HA/FA). The main results obtained are as following: (1) The 

distributions of Pb forms bound by Fe-Mn oxides and organic matter increased, while the 

proportions of exchangeable Pb and residual Pb fraction decreased after the establishment 

of transformation equilibrium in 60 d. (2)The exchangeable-Pb and carbonate bound Pb 

showed highest positive contribution to the availability of Pb in the tested soil; and HA 

passivated soil Pb activity by decreasing the proportion of carbonate bound Pb and FA 

activated soil Pb by increasing the proportions of exchangeable Pb and carbonate bound 

Pb. The passivation or activation roles increased with increasing amount of HA or FA; A 

sharp increase of soil Pb availability occurred at FA dosage higher than 1% as C basis, 

suggesting that 1% (C) exogenous FA was the change-point for soil Pb activation; 

&#9314;The overall effects of HAs depended on its ratio of HA/FA at a constant addition 

of HAs (1% C). HAs suppressed soil Pb activity at a ratio of HA/FA&ge;7/3, while they 

activated soil Pb activity at a ratio of HA/FA&le;5/5. The transformation extent and 

direction of Pb in soils differed at various dosage and ratios of HA/FA, resulting in 

different overall effects on the Pb availability in soil. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:In order to investigate the effect of temperature on the cellulose-degrading 

bacteria and denitrifying bacteria, the denitrification and phosphorus removal of solid 

carbon source of cellulose corncob+sulfur/sponge iron nitrogen and phosphorus removal 

composite system, abbreviated as SCSC-S/Fe, was analyzed under different temperature 

conditions, and the surface structure and microbial properties of corncob before and 

after reaction were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and MiSeq high-

throughput sequencing technologies. The results indicated that when temperature increased 

from 15, 20, 25 to 30&#8451;, the average TN removal rate of the system increased from 

78.88% to 92.70%, the average removal rate of TP increased from 82.58% to 89.15%; 

microbial properties showed that the surface reaction after corncob was dominated by 

spherical and rod-shaped microorganisms; the proportion of cellulose-degrading bacteria 

was 11.01% higher at 30&#8451; than 20&#8451;, and the proportion of denitrifying 

bacteria decreased by 21.26%. It can be seen that the cellulose -degrading bacteria were 

more sensitive to the temperature than the denitrification bacteria, and more obviously 

affected by the temperature. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, microbial fuel cell coupled constructed wetland (CW-MFC) was 

constructed for azo dye reactive brilliant red X-3B degradation and electricity 

production. The effects of support matrix and cathode areas on the degradation of X-3B 

and the electricity production of CW-MFC were investigated in this work to improve the 

performance of CW-MFC. The highest decolorization efficiency was 92.70% and was obtained 

when the CW-MFC was constructed with support matrix S3 with particle size of 10 mm and 

porosity of 30%. Small particle size increased the microbial biomass of the bottom layer 

of CW-MFC, which would promote the decolorization of X-3B in the bottom layer. However, 

it may cause the lack of nutrition in electrode layer and the increase in resistance of 

mass transfer, which would lead to the decline of electricity production. The 

decolorization efficiency and the power density of CW-MFC increased concomitantly with 

the increase of cathode areas, and the CW-MFC got the highest decolorization efficiency 

of 99.41% when the cathode area was 594 cm<sup>2</sup>. The electricity production 

performance became stable when the cathode area continued to increase, while the 

decolorization efficiency declined. This may be attributed to that more electrons were 

transferred to the cathode to produce current instead of used in degradation of X-3B.

Abstract:This paper used three plots of paddy field in Wangjiagou small catchment in 

Fuling District, Chongqing Municipality as a case study. Wangjiagou, located in Three 

Gorges Reservoir Area, provided a good case in terms of its closeness of surface runoff. 

The samples of individual rainfall of twelve times and process of two typical individual 

rainfalls on three plots of sloping paddy field were collected from 2014 to 2015. These 

samples were used to analyze the influence of spatial pattern of sloping paddy field on 

the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in the surface runoff. The samples of daily 

runoff in subcatchments in 2010 and 2015 were used to analyze the influence of spatial 

pattern change of subcatchments' paddy field on the concentration of nitrogen and 

phosphorus in the surface runoff. The results indicated that the removal rates of TN, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and TP of paddy field at the valley bottom were higher than 

those in the mid-slopes. The removal rate of TP would be higher if plot size of paddy 

field at the bottom got bigger. During individual rainfall event, the losses 

concentration of TN, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and TP in the paddy fields was 

significantly different among three different spatial patterns during the previous period 

of heavy rain event, but it became different during the next period of moderate rain 

event. The two subcatchments'spatial pattern change of paddy field had weakened the 

intercepting purification ability of nitrogen and phosphorus losses of paddy field in 

2015, compared with that in 2010. TN's losses concentration increased significantly 

during the periods of light and moderate rain event and base flow. TP's losses 

concentration fluctuated during the event from moderate rain to heavy rain. Hence, 

increasing the area of paddy field of catchment and optimizing its spatial pattern 

reasonably were found as effective measures to control agricultural non-point source 

pollution in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to investigate the scouring and deposition law of pollutants in urban 

sewer systems, the investigation of sewer systems was carried out in Xi'an. The results 

showed that the thickness of sediment in the branch pipe and the main pipe varied 

obviously. At the peak of the drainage, the velocity increased gradually, and the 

thickness of the pipeline sediment decreased. At the bottom of the drainage trough, the 

changes of the velocity and the thickness of the pipeline sediment were opposite, with 

variations of 0-24 mm and 0-12 mm, respectively. And the probability of granular 

contaminants sedimentation and scouring in sewer systems was high, while the thickness of 

sediment in sewage main pipe was less than the above mentioned pipes, the variation of 

which was 0-7 mm. In addition, the sedimentation and scouring in the main pipeline kept 

relatively balanced and the thickness of sediment remained stable. In order to clarify 

the relationship between the concentration of pollutants and the flow velocity, a pilot 

sewer system was established. The effects of different flow rates, which were 0.1, 0.3, 

0.6, 0.9, 1.2 m&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, on the contents of carbon (organic), 

nitrogen and phosphorus in the pipeline were studied. The results showed that with the 

increase of the flow velocity, the scour intensity increased and the concentration of 

pollutants in the pipeline also increased sharply. As shown by the monitoring results of 

the static light scattering particle size analyzer, the carbon organic pollutants in the 

pipeline were easily adsorbed on the larger particles, while nitrogen and phosphorus 

pollutants were easily adsorbed on the particles with smaller size. Analysis on the 

change of the urban sewage pipeline showed, when the flow rate was less than 0.6 

m&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>, the sedimentation of granular pollutants in the sewage was 

greater than the scouring effect. When the flow velocity was higher than 0.6 

m&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>, the water scouring intensity increased and the scouring action 

was greater than the sedimentation, meanwhile, the sediments were carried by the water 

and the thickness of the sediments was reduced. The increase of the organic pollutants in 

the sewage was bigger than the nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants, so that the existing 

sewage carbon source was improved. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Quinoline is one of the common refractory organic pollutants in coking 

wastewater. An aerobic bacterial strain KDQ3 capable of utilizing quinoline as the sole 

source of carbon, nitrogen and energy was isolated from activated sludge of a coking 

wastewater treatment plant. The morphological properties and the 16S rDNA sequence 

identified KDQ3 as Ochrobactrum sp.. The optimized temperature and initial pH for 

quinoline degradation were 37&#8451; and 7.0-8.0, and the degradation kinetics fit with 

Haldane's model. KDQ3 could degrade 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>quinoline in the presence 

of 10.4 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>hexavalent chromium. In addition, KDQ3 was able to 

degrade quinoline in real coking wastewater of aerobic tank and improve the removal of 

COD, indicating that KDQ3 had the potential of bioaugmentation for removal of quinoline 

from coking wastewater. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Agricultural headwater ditches, the important locations for retaining and 

transforming nitrogen derived from the adjacent farmlands, have been regarded as the 

potential source of nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) emission. In this study, 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions from a typical agricultural ditch in the Hilly Area of Central 

Sichuan Basin, were observed by closed static chamber-GC technique during the maize 

season (rainy season), from June to the end of September. During the study period, 

cumulative N<inf>2</inf>O emissions in the sediment-water interface without vegetation 

(NV) and the ditch ecosystem with natural vegetation (V) were 0.07 and 0.43 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean N<inf>2</inf>O flux from the 

agricultural headwater ditch ecosystem [14.7 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>] was comparable to the magnitude of direct N<inf>2</inf>O flux from the maize 

cropland in this region. Nitrate concentration in the overlying water could be the main 

factor governing N<inf>2</inf>O emission from the ditch, especially in the rainy season. 

The existence of vegetation increased the indirect N<inf>2</inf>O emission factor (V: 

0.05% vs. NV: 0.01%). The indirect N<inf>2</inf>O emission factor from this field 

investigation was much lower than the default value proposed by the Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2006) for assessing indirect agricultural N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions. More attention should be paid to in situ measurements to reduce uncertainty of 

N<inf>2</inf>O estimation calculated by only applying the default value for emission 

factor from the IPCC. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Manganese is a common inorganic pollutant, which is difficult to remove from the 

environment. In this research, a high efficient manganese-oxidizing bacterium 

Arthrobacter sp. HW-16 was isolated from the manganese-rich soil using selective media. 

Besides, high-throughput sequencing revealed that there were significant differences of 

the microbial community compositions when bacteria were acclimated in different 

conditions, and Arthrobacte was the dominant genus in Mn(II) containing media. In this 

paper, the microbiological properties of strain HW-16 and Mn(II) oxidation mechanism were 

investigated. The results indicated that the maximal Mn(II) tolerance mass concentration 

of strain HW-16 was 5 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and it exhibited a decent Mn(II) 

oxidation efficiency with the highest value of 66.28% at a Mn(II) concentration of 3 000 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Single factor experiments demonstrated that environmental 

factors could affect the growth and Mn(II) oxidation efficiency of strain HW-16. At 

30&#8451; or pH 7.0, at 1% or 3% salinity, and at 200 r&middot;min<sup>-1</sup>, strain 

HW-16 got the highest biomass. While the highest Mn(II) oxidation efficiency occurred at 

high temperature (&ge;40&#8451;), high pH (&ge;7), high shaking speed and low salinity. 

Strain HW-16 could oxidize Mn(II) by producing Mn(II) oxidizing active factor and turn 

Mn(II) into precipitation by synthesizing alkaline metabolites. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:A novel composite adsorbent (Ti-Zr-D201) for simultaneous removal of phosphate 

and fluoride from water was prepared by loading nanosized titanium and zirconium oxides 

on the anion exchange resin named D201. Combining with the characterization of the 

adsorbent, adsorption isotherm experiments, effect of solution pH experiments, 

competitive tests, kinetic experiments and fixed bed column adsorption experiments were 

performed to explore the adsorption performance and mechanism. The maximum adsorption 

capacity of Ti-Zr-D201 for phosphorus and fluorine was 34.9mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 

35.1mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>respectively, when the pH value was 5.8 and the temperature 

was 308K. Adsorption behavior was spontaneous, and higher temperature was favorable for 

phosphorus and fluoride adsorption. The effect of pH on the adsorption of fluoride was 

more significant compared with the adsorption of phosphorus. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and Cl<sup>-</sup>were selected as the competitive ions for 

competition experiments, and the results indicated that Ti-Zr-D201 exhibited favorable 

sorption selectivity for phosphorus and fluoride compared with the host material D201. 

The fitting results of the internal diffusion model showed that there were two different 

adsorption stages before the adsorption equilibrium of Ti-Zr-D201. Column adsorption 

experiments showed that Ti-Zr-D201 had a stable structure, excellent dynamic adsorption 

performance, and could be recycled, which showed the potential of practical application.

Abstract:It was aimed to investigate the response to biochar addition on N<inf>2</inf>O 

gas production and emission in different surface conditions. To study the dynamic changes 

of soil N<inf>2</inf>O release, soil nitrate(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) and ammonium

(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N), a field trials experiment was conducted from 2014 to 2015 

in wheat and corn season, which contained three treatments [the blank control group (CK), 

biochar applied at 5 t&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>(BC5) and 45 

t&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>(BC45), respectively] under crop 

cultivation(+) and non-cultivation(-) condition. The results indicated that: (1) During 

the season of wheat growth, the soil N<inf>2</inf>O emissions of CK+, BC5+, BC45+ were 

21.70-88.91, 21.42-130.09, 64.44-179.58 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>respectively, and that of BC45+ possessed a higher value than those of the other 

treatments(P&lt;0.05). Compared with wheat winter period, the soil N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions of the three treatments decreased evidently in wheat peak stage(returning green 

and jointing stage, booting and heading stage) (P&lt;0.05), and the amplification of 

BC45+ reduced by 18.43% and 14.62% in comparison with CK+ and BC5+ in wheat booting and 

heading stages. In the early stage of maize growth, the soil N<inf>2</inf>O emissions of 

BC45+ were significantly increased compared with CK+ and BC5+(P&lt;0.05). However, there 

were no significant differences among treatments of maize heading stage and mature stage. 

It showed that the biochar-mediated promotion effect of soil N<inf>2</inf>O emissions was 

effectively inhibited by crop growth and the increase of surface mulch. Besides, the 

result of soil N<inf>2</inf>O release in the same treatment had also confirmed this 

conclusion in bare land. (2) Under the conditions of wheat cultivation and homochronous 

non-cultivation, the soil NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N 

contents of BC5+ and BC45+ treatments were raised with respect to CK+, but the values 

dropped significantly in wheat peak stage, especially for BC45+ treatment, with 96.44% 

and 69.40% decrease respectively. The soil inorganic nitrogen content of maize growth 

season had a similar trend in wheat season. Parallel to this result of the apparently 

falling soil NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N 

concentrations, the soil N<inf>2</inf>O emissions of BC45+ also declined remarkably in 

peak stage. The decline in respiratory substrate caused by the increase of nitrogen 

uptake by crop growth, may be one of the reasons for the decrease of N<inf>2</inf>O 

emission. (3) In wheat growth season, the soil pH values of the biochar treatments were 

improved from 4.62 to 5.18. In maize season, the soil pH values ranged from 4.42 to 5.02. 

When the soil pH value was relatively low, the soil N<inf>2</inf>O emission was high, and 

vice versa. The soil N<inf>2</inf>O emission was partly influenced by the soil pH value.

Abstract:In order to solve the problem of low nitrogen removal caused by incomplete 

removal of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) substrate, The nitrogen removal 

performance of the ANAMMOX was investigated by controlling different influent substrate 

ratios in an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR). The result showed the optimal influent 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was 1.34 with which the 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N removal efficiencies were 

about 99.99% and the total nitrogen removal efficiency reached a peak of 87%. When the 

influent NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N gradually reduced from 

1 to 0.49 and increased from 1.34 to 1.62, the absolute removal of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N was stable in the reactor and no significant 

inhibition was observed in the system. Under the condition of different substrate ratios, 

the removal of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N was 

basically consumed in the first compartment of ABR, the change of substrate ratio did not 

have an obvious impact on the nitrogen removal performance of each compartment in the 

ABR, thus, the ABR ANAMMOX system had good stability to the change of substrate 

concentration. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, a set of two-stage UASB reactor was used to study the 

characteristics of denitrification inhibiting sulfate reduction in oil field gathering 

and transportation system and some high salt wastewater, and the characteristics of 

granular sludge and microbial characteristics were studied after the stable operation of 

the process. The results showed that the addition of NaNO<inf>2</inf>increased the number 

of denitrifying bacteria (DNB) from 7.0&times;10<sup>3</sup>CFU&middot;(100 mL)<sup>-

1</sup>to 7.3&times;10<sup>5</sup>CFU&middot;(100 mL)<sup>-1</sup>and remained stable in 

the process from start to mature. The competitive inhibition caused by DNB decreased the 

number of SRB from 8.0&times;10<sup>5</sup>CFU&middot;(100 mL)<sup>-1</sup>to 

7.6&times;10<sup>4</sup>CFU&middot;(100 mL)<sup>-1</sup>. Meanwhile, the sulfate 

reduction was inhibited, and the inhibition rate increased and finally stabilized to 82%. 

The study on mass ratio of microbial mass to nitrite effecting on denitrification 

efficiency showed that the inhibition rate of S<sup>2-</sup>was the highest, reaching 

92%, when the mass ratio was 1200. The inhibition rate of the process could remain at 

about 92%, with good stability. The particle size and sedimentation rate of granular 

sludge were measured to determine whether the process conditions were favorable for the 

formation of granular sludge. The study showed that the denitrifying granular sludge 

formed was brown, basically ellipsoidal and spherical, with smooth surface and high 

density. Before the denitrification inhibition, the particle size of granular sludge was 

1.0- 1.4 mm and the average diameter was 1.17 mm, and after denitrification inhibition, 

the particle size distribution was 1.2-1.6 mm, the average particle size was 1.21 mm, 

which indicated that the denitrification inhibition increased the size of granular 

sludge. The average sedimentation velocity of denitrifying granular sludge was 47.6 

m&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>, which revealed the good settling performance of the granular 

sludge. The results of PCR-DGGE analysis showed that the denitrification inhibition 

reduced the number of microbial species from 18 to 14 and the number of dominant species 

decreased from 4 to 3, indicating the decreasing microbial diversity. The similarity of 

microbial population before and after nitrification was 62.6% and the population 

structure changed greatly from SRB to DNB. The number of dominant SRB species decreased 

from 4 to 2 after denitrification inhibition and the abundance of every species decreased 

obviously. The main functional bacterial species of the inhibition process was uncultured 

Sulfurimonas sp., which is a kind of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. It dominated and 

competed with SRB for electrons, inhibiting the sulfate reduction and the production of 

sulfide. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to reduce the carbon source for biological short-cut denitrification, 

Fe<sup>(0)</sup>-activated carbon was used to enhance nitrogen removal in the absence of 

organic carbon, and the influences of the Fe/C mass ratio and initial pH value on the 

nitrogen removal efficiency were explored. The results showed that the nitrite removal 

efficiency increased from 7.4% to 31.1% when the Fe<sup>(0)</sup>-activated carbon was 

used to enhance short-cut denitrification. When the Fe/C mass ratio was reduced from 2: 1 

to 1: 1 and 1: 2, both the denitrification rate and nitrite removal efficiency first 

increased and then decreased. At a Fe/C mass ratio of 1: 1, a maximum denitrification 

rate of 5.58 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and a maximum nitrite removal efficiency 

of 41.1% were achieved, respectively, and 0.1 mg of nitrous oxide was emitted. When the 

pH value was increased from 6.0 to 9.0, the denitrification rate decreased from 7.39 to 

5.96 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, and the nitrous oxide emission decreased from 

0.19 to 0.12 mg. Therefore, a higher nitrogen removal efficiency could be achieved by 

Fe<sup>(0)</sup>-activated at a Fe/C mass ratio of 1: 1 and pH value of 6.0. However, 

more nitrous oxide would be emitted at a low pH value. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The study of PAHs sorption and bioavailability to different crop roots could 

help to reveal the environmental behavior of PAHs in the ecosystem and evaluate the 

ecological risk of PAHs. However, there is little information about the differences in 

PAHs sorption to different roots and the bioavailability of the sorbed PAHs. In this 

paper, the experiments were conducted on the sorption/desorption of phenanthrene to 

soybean and wheat roots under different sorption times and different phenanthrene 

concentrations. The results showed that the trend of phenanthrene sorption in vivo was 

first increased and then decreased and finally reached a balance, which was related to 

the transport delay in vivo; the trend in dead and dried roots was first increased and 

then reached a balance. The greater specific surface area and the higher fat content, the 

faster the balance was. Freundlich isotherm was fitted better than Henry isotherm for 

dead and dried roots, Langmuir isotherm was best fitted in wheat roots. All of the fitted 

isotherms indicated that the distribution and the surface adsorption could control the 

phenanthrene sorption. Because of the special binding between living roots and 

phenanthrene, the fit effect was poor. The phenanthrene sorption capacity of soybean 

roots was higher than that of wheat, which was related to the high water content, fat 

content and membrane permeability. The phenanthrene sorbed on the roots was hard to 

desorb, and the desorption trends were wheat roots&gt;soybean roots; living 

roots&gt;dried roots&gt;dead roots. The bioavailability of root-sorbed phenanthrene was 

consistent with the desorption results. Our results could provide data for the assessment 

of environmental risks of PAHs sorbed onto crop roots. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Ammonia (NH<inf>3</inf>) is the most abundant alkaline gas in the ambient air, 

and it is also one of the important precursors for the ammonium salts in aerosol and 

rainwater. Though the emission intensities of NH<inf>3</inf>and acidic gases are high, 

the concentrations and deposition rates of atmospheric ammonia-nitrogen (NH<inf>3</inf>-

N), particulate ammonium-nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N<inf>p</inf>) and 

rainwater ammonium-nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N<inf>r</inf>) in double rice 

regions in subtropical China are still less known. In this study, atmospheric 

concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>-N, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N<inf>p</inf>in 

PM<inf>10</inf>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N<inf>r</inf>and related meteorological 

parameters were observed simultaneously in a typical double rice region in the 

subtropical hilly region of China, with the aim to clarify the characteristics and 

influencing factors of atmospheric NH<inf>3</inf>/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N 

concentrations and to quantify the wet and dry deposition rates of atmospheric 

NH<inf>3</inf>/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. The results showed that the annual mean 

concentrations of nitrogen in NH<inf>3</inf>-N, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-

N<inf>p</inf>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N<inf>r</inf>were 5.7 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, 12.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 0.8 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, 

and their deposition rates were 8.38, 5.61 and 9.07 kg&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)

<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The NH<inf>3</inf>-N concentration was significantly 

increased after application of nitrogen fertilizer in the paddy field, and had a 

significant positive correlation with the air temperature. The NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N<inf>p</inf>concentration did not show significant correlation with 

NH<inf>3</inf>-N concentration, indicating that atmospheric NH<inf>3</inf>-N 

concentration was not the main limiting factor for the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-

N<inf>p</inf>pollution in the studied region. The NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-

N<inf>r</inf>concentration was positively correlated with the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N<inf>p</inf>concentration but negatively correlated with precipitation. The high 

concentrations and deposition rates of atmospheric NH<inf>3</inf>-N/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N in the studied region indicated that the atmospheric 

NH<inf>3</inf>/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N pollution was serious, and atmospheric 

deposition of NH<inf>3</inf>/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was an important nitrogen 

source in paddy fields, which should be considered in cropland nitrogen nutrient 

management. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Many reports have claimed that high lung cancer mortality rate in Xuanwei is 

associated with the residential coal combustion. Considering iron is the main chemical 

element in the particles emitted from Xuanwei coal combustion, and especially, reactive 

oxygen species (ROS) could be generated by redox-active transition metals (TM) such as 

iron (Fe) in particles, therefore, raw coal samples from 4 coal mines in Xuanwei were 

sampled, and size-resolved particles emitted from the raw coal samples were collected by 

using of Andersen Five-stage High Volume Sampler. Species of iron in the raw coal sample, 

size-resolved particles and bottom ashes were analyzed by BCR sequential extraction 

method (community bureau of reference, BCR). The generation potential of &middot;OH free 

radicals from coal emission particles in the surrogate lung fluid (SLF) solution was 

measured by using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Our results demonstrated 

that a large fraction of oxidizable Fe could be found in raw coal samples. However, the 

acid extractable, reducible and oxidizable fractions of Fe in the fly ash particles 

accounted for a large proportion (46%-78%) in the size-resolved particles after coal 

combustion. There was difference in levels of &middot;OH free radicals generated from 

coal emission particles in the SLF for 24 hours among particles with different sizes. The 

concentration of &middot;OH increased in both fine particles (&lt;1 &mu;m, 1.1-2 &mu;m, 

2-3.3 &mu;m) and coarse particles (3.3-7 &mu;m, &gt;7 &mu;m) as the particles size 

decreased. Linear correlation could be found between the oxidizable fractions of iron and 

the generation of &middot;OH in particles emitted from coal combustion 

(R<sup>2</sup>=0.32). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this work, enrichment and nitrogen removal characteristics of marine 

anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria were investigated by seeding sediment sludge from 

the Jiaozhou bay. Experimental results showed that the whole process could be divided 

into four phases: bacterial lysis phase (1-15 d), lag phase (16-152 d), exponential 

growth phase (153-183 d) and stationary phase (184-192 d). Compared to freshwater 

anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria, the lag phase (137 d) was longer. However, the 

exponential growth phase (30 d) was shorter. Besides, marine anaerobic ammonium oxidizing 

bacteria were more sensitive to variation in substrate concentration and HRT. The 

activity delay time caused by inflow and effluent was 5 h, which was far longer than 

fresh anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria. As a result, the adaptive ability of marine 

anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria was weaker and it was harder to enrich. After 

successful enrichment of 192 d, the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite 

nitrogen were 96.98% and 95.66%, respectively. n(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N)&#8758;n

(NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N)&#8758;n(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) was 1&#8758;

(1.2&plusmn;0.2)&#8758;(0.22&plusmn;0.06), which was close to the theoretical ratio. 

NRR<inf>NH+4-N</inf>was 0.080 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which 

indicated that the activity of marine anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria increased 

significantly. The enrichment of marine anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria was 

achieved. The sludge characteristics changed from black to red. SEM observation confirmed 

that the red granule was cenobium, which consisted of closely spaced micrococcus with 

smooth surface and crateriform shape. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Changes in water quality and brominated disinfection by-products (Br-DBPs) 

during a low temperature multi-effect distillation (LT-MED) process for seawater 

desalination were investigated. The concentrations of bromide ion and specific 

ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) in the seawater (i.e. the influent of LT-MED) were 54.6 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 1.7 L&middot;(mg&middot;m)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

tryptophan-like aromatic protein, fulvic acid-like and soluble microbial by-product-like 

organics dominated the fluorescent dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the seawater. After 

the NaClO pre-chlorination in the LT-MED process, the concentrations of DBPs in the 

seawater were significantly increased, especially Br-DBPs, and Bromoform

(CHBr<inf>3</inf>) accounted for 100% of total trihalomethanes (THMs), Bromoacetic acid 

(C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>3</inf>BrO<inf>2</inf>) and dibromoacetic acid 

(C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>2</inf>Br<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>) accounted for 31.9% and 68.1%, 

respectively of total haloacetic acids (HAAs), while 4-Bromophenol 

(C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>5</inf>BrO) accounted for 100% of total halogenated phenols (HPs). 

The formation of THMs, HAAs and HPs was not detected in the finishing water produced by 

the LT-MED desalination process, but these substances were retained in the concentrated 

brine, of which THMs, HAAs and HPs were 56.9, 35.0 and 0.1 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>.

Abstract:Dissolved organic matter (DOM) affects the sorption behavior of organic 

pollutants in soils. In this study, bulk DOM (marked as DOM<inf>bulk</inf>) was extracted 

from natural humus soil and divided into five individual fractions by XAD-8 resin and 

anion/cation exchange resins based on their hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity. The isolated 

DOM fractions were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, UV spectrophotometer and 

potentiometric titration. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of 

different fractions of DOM on sorption of benzotriazole (BTA) in two Chinese reference 

soils (brown soil and black soil). Proportions of hydrophobic acid (HOA), hydrophobic 

neutral (HON), hydrophilic acid (HIA), hydrophilic base (HIB) and hydrophilic neutral 

(HIN) in DOM<inf>bulk</inf>were 61%, 17%, 6%, 2% and 14%, respectively. Sorption affinity 

of BTA and DOM in black soil was greater than that in brown soil, which was attributed to 

the higher organic carbon (OC) content of black soil as compared to that of brown soil. 

Brown soil had higher normalized distribution coefficient K<inf>oc</inf>of sorbed DOM 

fractions than black soil, because brown soil has a greater proportion of clay and silt, 

which play important roles in sorption of DOM fractions. Dialysis-bag experiments 

demonstrated that binding coefficient between each isolated DOM fraction and BTA in 

solution was very weak. The reason is that the binding sites of DOM are occupied by water 

molecules in solution. Among the isolated DOM fractions, HIN showed the strongest 

sorption affinity in both soils, which increased OC content and consequently produced new 

sorption sites in soils. The enhanced sorption effect from new sorption sites was greater 

than that from competitive sorption between BTA and HIN. On a whole, HIN enhanced the 

sorption of BTA in soil. HOA and HON inhibited the sorption of BTA in soils. Because the 

sorption of hydrophobic fractions, especially HON, in soils was less than that of other 

fractions, competitive sorption between hydrophobic fractions and BTA was the main 

mechanism. DOM<inf>bulk</inf>that consists of 78% hydrophobic fractions had similar 

effects with hydrophobic fractions on sorption of BTA in two soils. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Complexing capacity (CC) is an important indicator affecting the environmental 

behavior of heavy metals in water, which can be determined by different methods based on 

different mechanisms. To validate and compare the applicability of different methods in 

CC determination, the complexing capacity of Cu<sup>2+</sup>(CuCC) in solutions of 

ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and acesulfame was determined by methods of 

dithizone extraction kinetics (DEK) and ion-selective electrodes (ISE), while EDTA and 

acesulfame were selected to represent strong and weak ligands in water, respectively. DEK 

method was found to be more suitable for determining the contribution of strong ligands 

to CuCC, while the results determined by ISE were related to both the strong and weak 

ligands in water. DEK and ISE methods were used to measure CuCC of several actual water 

samples, including samples from reservoir, discharge river, fishpond, and landfill 

leachates. CuCC in the water samples of the reservoir and discharge river measured by ISE 

were 86.9-227.0 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which were about one order of magnitude 

higher than those measured by DEK (9.9-14.6 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). For the 

landfill leachates, CuCC measured by ISE were 6 998.4-31 005.8 &mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, which were 2 orders of magnitude higher than those by DEK (89.6-109.1 

&mu;mol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). The increase of CuCC in the polluted water samples might 

be due to the weak ligands like pollutants. A positive correlation (R=0.975, P&lt;0.01) 

was found between the CuCC related to the weak ligands (&Delta;CuCC) and the sum 

concentration of ammonia nitrogen and organic nitrogen in waters. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The surface water and surface sediments were collected from Daye Lake in April 

2014. The concentrations of heavy metals were determined by atomic absorption 

spectroscopy. The pollution potential health risk and ecological risk of heavy metals in 

water and sediment were assessed by the health risk assessment model and the potential 

ecological risk index method. The results showed that the concentrations of the heavy 

metals (Ni, Cd, Cu and Pb) was 49.27 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 2.19 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 12.18 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 12.13 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(water) and 78.46 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 77.13 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 650.13 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 134.22 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>(sediment). Enrichment coefficient indicated that the enrichment of Cd, Cu and Pb 

was more serious, especially the accumulation of Cd was the most obvious. Compared to 

typical lakes in China, the contents of heavy metals in water and sediment were 

relatively high. The spatial pollutant distribution of the heavy metals in water and 

sediment all presented that the concentrations of the heavy metals were relatively higher 

in east and west of Daye Lake, relatively more uniform in the middle, and their origins 

were mainly from human activities. The results of environmental risk indicated that the 

carcinogens and chemical non-carcinogens health risk values of heavy metals by drinking 

water pathway were 9.77E-08~1.63E-05a<sup>-1</sup>. Therefore, the pollution of Ni and Cd 

should be the primary control target for environmental health risk management. The 

descending order of pollution degree of four metals in sediment was Cd&gt;Cu&gt;Pb&gt;Ni, 

and Cd was the main contributor of the potential ecological risk elements. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Three typical modern dry processing cement plants in Chongqing were chosen to 

investigate mercury emission characteristics and its source and fate through a mercury 

mass balance method by analyzing mercury contents in all input and output materials. The 

results showed that limestone was the main source of mercury in three cement plants 

followed by coal, and their mercury concentrations were (0.025&plusmn;0.001)-

(0.032&plusmn;0.002) mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and (0.080&plusmn;0.002)-

(0.110&plusmn;0.012) mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The highest mercury level 

in all required input materials was (0.447&plusmn;0.007)-(0.525&plusmn;0.009) 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for gypsum, while the mercury content of other raw materials 

were very low. Most of the mercury released from these cement plants entered into flue 

gas, and the mercury of gypsum entered into cement. The mercury emission fluxes were 

calculated to be (73.42&plusmn;8.10)-(215.18&plusmn;10.75) g&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>in 

these three selected plants. The mercury emission factors for clinke and cement 

(EF<inf>clinker</inf>and EF<inf>cement</inf>) were (0.016&plusmn;0.001)-

(0.049&plusmn;0.001) g&middot;t<sup>-1</sup>and (0.011&plusmn;0.000)-(0.036&plusmn;0.001)

in cement industry according to the foreign mercury emission factors in the past. &copy;

Abstract:In this paper, the monthly average of NCEP(National Center for Environmental 

Prediction)reanalysis data (2.5&deg;&times;2.5&deg;), the sounding data, and conventional 

observation data in Beijing (54511 station) were used to analyze the atmospheric 

pollution diffusion conditions in Beijing in recent 35 years. The main conclusions were: 

in 1980~2015, the whole layer was warmer. After 1990, the temperature inversion 

phenomenon was obvious, and the whole air was stable. The cold air's less effect on the 

lower layer, lower frequency of great north wind speed and surface layer's convergence 

led to the rising of pollution concentration. The location of sink motion at the high 

level was lower and that of the ascending motion at the low level was higher. This led to 

the constriction of the ascending motion below the boundary layer, worsening the 

pollution diffusion condition. In 1980~1989, the atmospheric capacity index was steady, 

while in 1990-1999, it fluctuated obviously and after 2000, it declined. In general, the 

atmospheric capacity presented a gentle decline. In spring and winter of 1980-1989, as 

well as spring and summer of 1990-2015, the atmospheric capacity was better. After 2000, 

the atmospheric capacity was decreasing compared to the last 20 years no matter in which 

season, and the difference of atmospheric capacity in seasons diminished. The boundary 

layer was higher in spring and summer, and lower in fall and winter in recent 35 years.

Abstract:In this study, zirconium-modified bentonites (ZrMBs) with different zirconium 

loading levels were prepared, and the adsorption behaviors of phosphate on these ZrMBs 

were comparatively investigated using batch experiments. The results showed that the 

kinetic process of phosphate on ZrMBs well followed the pseudo-second-second kinetic 

model. The kinetic process was divided into three stages, including a rapid external 

surface adsorption stage, a gradual adsorption stage where both the intra-particle 

diffusion and film diffusion were rate-controlled, and a final equilibrium adsorption 

stage. The equilibrium adsorption data of phosphate on ZrMBs could be well described by 

the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. Phosphate 

adsorption onto ZrMBs was more favorable under strongly acidic condition than under 

weakly acidic or neutral condition, while phosphate adsorption onto ZrMBs under weakly 

acidic or neutral condition was more favorable than that under alkaline condition. 

Coexistence of Na<sup>+</sup>and K<sup>+</sup>slightly enhanced phosphate adsorption onto 

ZrMBs, while coexisting Ca<sup>2+</sup>greatly enhanced the phosphate adsorption. The 

presence of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>or SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>inhibited the 

adsorption of phosphate on ZrMBs. The mechanism for phosphate adsorption onto ZrMBs 

followed the ligand exchange and inner-sphere complexing mechanism. The phosphate 

adsorption capacity for ZrMB increased with increasing loading level of zirconium, while 

the amount of phosphate adsorbed on unit mass of ZrO<inf>2</inf>in ZrMB decreased with 

increasing loading amount of zirconium in ZrMB. When the loading amount of 

ZrO<inf>2</inf>in ZrMB increased from 3.61% to 13.15%, the maximum phosphate adsorption 

capacity (MPAC) for ZrMB increased from 3.83 to 9.03 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, while a 

further increase in the ZrO<inf>2</inf>loading amount to 19.63% resulted in a slight 

increase of MPAC to 9.66 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. However, an increase in the loading 

amount of ZrO<inf>2</inf>in ZrMB from 3.61% to 19.63% caused a decrease of the MPAC for 

the ZrO<inf>2</inf>located in ZrMB from 106 to 49.2 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Considering 

both cost and adsorption capacity of adsorbent, the ZrMB with 13.15% of zirconium loading 

amount could be more suitably used as an adsorbent to remove phosphate from aqueous 

solution than the other ZrMBs. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The purpose of this article was to study the effect of permeable pavements on 

runoff pollution control and its possible influence on groundwater quality in the area 

with high groundwater level. Three experimental permeable parking lots and one 

impermeable parking lot were built in urban Shanghai in order to monitor their quality of 

influent and effluent water under actual precipitation conditions, in order to 

investigate the performance of pollutant control effects and to evaluate the possibility 

of the pollution of groundwater. The results showed that all the three facilities could 

effectively remove TP, TSS, COD, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb and O&amp;G, but imposed poor removal 

efficiency on TN. Obvious release of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N occurred in all three 

pavements. The permeable interlocking concrete pavement using cement stabilized crushed 

stones as base course and the one using crushed stones as base course had a better 

removal efficiency on NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N than the previous concrete one. The 

quality of effluent water from different permeable pavements had no significant 

difference except NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. The in-situ groundwater quality was 

generally worse than background values of groundwater in Shanghai. Effluent water quality 

of three permeable pavements was generally worse than that of the in-situ groundwater, 

and a number of indicators belonged to or were close to groundwater class V standard. In 

the area with high groundwater level, there was risk of groundwater pollution caused by 

permeable pavements without liners. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, the effect of phosphate concentration on the nitrogen removal 

efficiency of ANAMMOX sludge was researched. The inhibition kinetic parameters were 

fitted and the abundance of ANAMMOX bacteria in the reactor before and after phosphate 

inhibition was analyzed by Real-time PCR. The short-term experiments showed that there 

was no significant effect on the nitrogen removal efficiency of ANAMMOX sludge when 

phosphate concentration was less than 30mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. With the increase of 

influent phosphate concentration, the removal rate of nitrogen decreased rapidly. When 

the phosphate concentration was raised to 200mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the activity of 

ANAMMOX sludge reached a complete inhibition state. The parameters of phosphate 

inhibition were fitted by Haldane inhibition model. The half-inhibition constant was 70.1 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The long-term results showed that when the phosphate 

concentration was less than 50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the effect on the nitrogen 

removal efficiency of ANAMMOX sludge was not significant. When the phosphate 

concentration reached 70-90 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, The activity of ANAMMOX sludge was 

obviously affected, and the stability could be restored after a certain period. 

Increasing the phosphate concentration had a more significant effect and resulted in a 

longer recovery time. Finally, when the concentration of phosphate reached 100 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the nitrogen removal efficiency of ANAMMOX was seriously 

inhibited. The rate of nitrogen removal decreased from 158.33 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 60.17 g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>, resulting in 62% inhibition. The results of real-time PCR showed that the 

concentration of ANAMMOX was decreased from (9.97&plusmn;0.86)

&times;10<sup>7</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>to (8.26&plusmn;0.54)

&times;10<sup>7</sup>cells&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>in the restraining sludge system, and

Abstract:To restrain the nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) in aqueous solution from being 

reunited and oxidized, this paper used sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS), which is an 

environmentally friendly and cheap material, for coating and surface modification of NZVI 

so as to improve its dispersity and suspension property. Transmission Electron Microscope 

(TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the microstructure and components of 

the modified NZVI, and the 2, 4-dichlorophenol 2, 4-(DCP) removal efficiency was 

researched through chemical experiment. Experiments showed that the modified NZVI was 

about 80~100 nm in diameter, present as chain or dispersed particles. The main component 

was zero-valent iron, and it had strong reducibility. When the proportion of CMS was 

80.00%, the suspension property was the best; The NZVI after CMS coating and surface 

modification retained the original activity. In the experiment investigating the removal 

effect of 2, 4-DCP using different proportion of cladding, the same finding was obtained. 

When the CMS's proportion was 80%, the removal effect was the best, reaching up to 

83.69%, and the dechlorination and degradation were apparent. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:A pre-concentrator-GC-MS/FID was used to investigate the characteristics of 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on the flue gases emitted from five biomass-

pellets-fired boilers in this study. And the concentrations of particle matter, nitrogen 

oxides (NO<inf>x</inf>), sulfur dioxides (SO<inf>2</inf>) and mercury and its compounds 

were also measured. Results demonstrated that the concentrations of SO<inf>2</inf>and 

mercury and its compounds emitted from all five boilers were relatively low, which were 

lower than the national emission standard, while NO<inf>x</inf>and particles from some 

boilers were higher than the standard. The mass concentration of 56 VOC species was in 

the range of (872.43&plusmn;293.80)-(6 929.66&plusmn;1 137.25) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, and the analysis of influencing factors implied that the furnace temperatures 

and loads havd strong negative correlations with the concentration of total VOCs. The 

emission components of VOCs were mainly composed of alkenes (41%-59%) including ethylene, 

1-butene, cis-2-butene and 1-hexene; alkanes (27%-49%) including hexane, isopentane and 

cyclopentane; and aromatics (6%-18%) including benzene and toluene. Moreover, the maximum 

incremental reactivity (MIR) method was applied to analyze ozone formation potential 

(OFP) of VOCs. The contribution of OFP of five boilers was mainly from alkenes, occupying 

a relatively high percentage of 76%-90%, and that of alkanes was in the range of 6% to 

19%. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The impact of mountain-valley wind circulation on the typical examples of 

pollution was analyzed through the selected pollution process, combining with the hourly 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations and meteorological data in Haidian, Shangdianzi and 

Lishuiqiao in Autumn and Winter from 2013 to 2015, and also the data of Tower of 

atmospheric, wind profile of Haidian and automatic meteorological stations in the same 

period. The analysis showed that the average wind speed of valley wind was greater than 

that of the mountain wind, and they both would be &ldquo;broken&rdquo; during the 

conversion time in the mountain-valley wind days. In contrast with the mountain wind, the 

average duration of valley wind in autumn was longer than that in winter, and the start 

time of valley wind in autumn was earlier than the same wind in winter; influenced by the 

topography of Beijing area, the direction boundary of the transformation between 

mountain-valley wind was northeast-southwest. The frontier of mountain wind in autumn 

could fall down to the South Second Ring Road, and it could be pressed to the South Third 

Ring Road in winter; the average thickness of valley wind was greater than the mountain 

wind. Whether the moment was in autumn or winter, in the south, the average time when the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration began to rise, was earlier than in the north in a day; the 

time when concentration of pollutants began to rise in the fall was earlier than in the 

winter, but the time when the concentration began to decline showed the opposite trend. 

The transition zone of different PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration in Beijing in autumn or 

winter located in South Second Ring Road (South Third Ring Road), and it would move to 

south over time. Duration autumn and winter seasons, this phenomenon lasted about 4 and 2 

hours, respectively. Furthermore, the positive and negative feedback effects may exist 

between pollutant concentrations and mountain-valley wind. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:In SBR reactor, the mature granular sludge fed with sodium acetate was gradually 

cultivated with different carbon sources (sodium acetate/glucose ratio was 1&#8758;0, 

3&#8758;1, 1&#8758;1, 1&#8758;3 and 0&#8758;1, in terms of COD, respectively). During the 

five stages, the physical, biochemical properties, extracellular polymeric substances 

(EPS), phosphorus fractions and nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of granular 

sludge were studied. 705 days' experimental results were showed as follows. At stage IV, 

the granular sludge had the smallest diameter of 0.5 mm; moreover the phosphorus 

release/uptake rate, denitrification rate and the total phosphorus (TP) content were the 

lowest. While at stages I and II, the phosphorus release/uptake and denitrification rates 

were the highest, meanwhile, the TP content reached up to 72.36 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

and the EPS content was about 350 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, as a result, the nitrogen and 

phosphorus removal efficiencies were both over 94%. Nevertheless at stage V, the 

biochemical rates were slightly slower than values of stages I and II, simultaneously the 

TP, glycogen and EPS contents in sludge were maintained at 69.60 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, 224.18 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 200 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, 

while high nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency was obtained. During all stages, 

Ca-P was the main phosphorus fraction, and inorganic phosphorus(IP) was closely related 

to phosphorus removal of granular sludge. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The degradation of Sulfamerazine(SMR) enhanced by molecular iodine under 

ultrasound/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>/KI and UVA/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>/KI was 

investigated. The main affecting parameters, iodine generation, active species and 

degradation products in the two systems were discussed as well. The experimental results 

showed that sulfamerazine degradation was effectively enhanced in both systems, and the 

enhancement of ultrasound was much better. The initial pH had an obvious effect on 

sulfamerazine removal in the range of 2.6-5.6, and the SMR removal efficiency decreased 

with initial pH value. Iodine radicals (I<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>&middot;, I&middot;) 

were determined as the main species in ultrasound/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>/KI and 

UVA/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>/KI systems. HPLC/MS/MS analysis indicated that iodo-

Abstract:The vertical variation in the contents of nitrogen and phosphorus with different 

forms in pore water and overlying water was continuously measured for twelve months in 

Dianchi Caohai Lake. The research revealed the difference of N or P concentration between 

pore water and overlying water and the contribution of nitrogen and phosphorus forms. It 

is significant to understand the formation of N and P and the ratio of N/P in pore water 

in the fields of lake eutrophication and the control of internal nutrient-loading. The 

results demonstrated that: &#9312;Sediment pore water &rho;(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N) 

was significantly higher than that in overlying water. But for NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N, it obeyed the opposite rule. From Feb. to Nov., &rho;(SRP) was higher than that 

in overlying water, while the opposite rule was found in Dec. and Jan.. &#9313;In 

sediment pore water, &rho;(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N) or &rho;(SRP) presented the 

maximum contribution ratio of DTN (78%) or DTP (61%), respectively. While, in overlying 

water, the maximum contribution ratio was DON(44%) or DOP(81%), respectively. Compared to 

those in spring and winter, the contribution of &rho;(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N) and 

&rho;(SRP) increased distinctly and the contribution of &rho;(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N), &rho;(DON) and &rho;(DOP) dropped obviously in summer and autumn. &#9314;The 

temporal variations for the ratios of DTN/DTP, (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N

+NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N)/SRP and DON/DOP in pore water were all in the following 

sequence: spring&gt;winter&gt;summer&gt;autumn. In overlying water, the N/P ratio in 

spring was relatively higher than that in the other three seasons. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Atmospheric precipitation samples were collected in a representative region of 

Beijing in summer of 2015 to investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of 

atmospheric precipitation, the changes and causes of major chemical components in 

rainwater during the course of typical precipitation, and the impacts of typical 

precipitation processes on atmospheric pollutants. The volume-weighted mean pH value of 

rainwater in the representative region of Beijing in summer was 6.21 with the range of 

5.15-7.34, and acid rain seldom occurred. The pollution elements Cd, Ca and Mn were 

moderately enriched, and Cu, Zn, Pb and S were seriously enriched in rainwater, of which 

Ca and S were main pollution elements, which accounted for 45.43% and 43.93% of the total 

pollution elements respectively, and Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb and Cd were main heavy metal 

pollution elements, which accounted for 1.32% of the total pollution elements. Different 

rates of precipitations could have different impacts on atmospheric pollutants. 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>could be scavenged by raindrop, and SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>and 

O<inf>3</inf>could be scavenged greatly by raindrop during the precipitation episode at a 

relatively high rainfall rate, containing four significant stages, such as clear-out of 

atmospheric pollutants, accumulation, both accumulation and clear-out, and another 

clear-out of airborne pollutants. Atmospheric pollutants such as PM<inf>2.5</inf>, 

SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>and O<inf>3</inf>could mainly be scavenged by in-cloud 

scavenging processes during the precipitation episode at a relatively low rainfall rate, 

including four important stages, such as clear-out, both clear-out and accumulation, 

accumulation, and another clear-out of atmospheric pollutants. The effect of rainfall at 

a relatively high rate on atmospheric pollutants was bigger than that of rainfall at a 

relatively low rate. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, N export from Xiangxi River Basin in subtropical watershed was 

measured by long-term monitoring, N loss in the basin was simulated by DNDC and SWAT 

models in order to provide a scientific basis for the establishment of nitrogen 

circulation model in subtropical watershed. The results showed that N loss with runoff 

was well simulated by DNDC and SWAT. The key parameters of DNDC were precipitation, slope 

and amount of N fertilization, while the key parameters of SWAT were GW_DELAY, CANMX, 

ALPHA_BF and ESCO. The deviations between simulations and observations of runoff, TN and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N simulated by DNDC were 5.19%, 8.10% and 71.70%, 

respectively. Whereas the deviations between the emission of TN, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N simulated by SWAT and observations were 2.04%, 

14.29% and 8.89%. The results indicated that the precision of N export simulated by SWAT 

was higher than DNDC in Xiangxi River Basin, and N loss in this area was mainly 

controlled by precipitation and nitrogen cycle of terrestrial ecosystem. The temporal and 

spatial distribution of N loss in Xiangxi River Basin was analyzed by comparing 

simulation results, which further demonstrated that DNDC and SWAT had simulation ability 

for N loss in subtropical watershed. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The data of ozone (O<inf>3</inf>) and its precursors (NO<inf>x</inf>, CO, VOCs) 

observed at northern suburb of Nanjing from December 01, 2013 to November 30, 2014 were 

used to analyze the difference of pollutant concentrations on weekends and weekdays, and 

its causes. The results showed that there was an obvious &ldquo;Weekend Effect&rdquo; in 

northern suburb of Nanjing. The mass concentrations of O<inf>3</inf>on weekdays were 

higher than those on weekends, whereas mass concentrations of its precursors were higher 

on the weekends; The average mass concentrations of O<inf>3</inf>were 19.84 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 53.45 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 57.17 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 40.43 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in winter, spring, 

summer, and autumn respectively. Compared with other seasons, &ldquo;Weekend Effect 

&rdquo; was more distinct in spring. The value of NO<inf>2</inf>/NO was 4.81% higher on 

weekdays (3.63) than on weekends (3.46). The longer cumulative time and higher 

accumulation rate of O<inf>3</inf>, and the stronger atmospheric oxidation capacity on 

weekdays were responsible for the higher O<inf>3</inf>mass concentrations on weekdays. 

The correlation coefficients of the mass concentrations of O<inf>3</inf>with VOCs, 

NO<inf>x</inf>, NO, and NO<inf>2</inf>were higher on weekdays than on weekends. &copy;

Abstract:In order to improve the methane production and concentration, effect of 

activated carbon addition on the anaerobic fermentation of corn straw under the 

conditions of mesophilic temperature (38&#8451;) and thermophilic temperature(50&#8451;) 

was investigated in this study. The results showed that the addition of activated carbon 

could significantly promote methane production. Compared with the control group in 

mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, cumulative methane production could be increased 

by 63% and 96% in test groups. By DGGE analysis, the bacterium enriched by addition of 

activated carbon was mainly Clostridiales bacterium, compared to Bacillus (without adding 

activated carbon) in the thermophilic system, while the differences in fermentation with 

adding activated carbon and without adding activated carbon was not significant in the 

mesophilic system. With addition of activated carbon, the archaea enriched in the 

fermentation liquid was mainly Methanosaeta concilii in the mesophilic system, whereas 

the archaea enriched in the fermentation liquid was mainly Methanosarcina acetivorans in 

the thermophilic system. The archaea enriched on activated carbon was mainly Methanosaeta 

concilii at mesophilic temperature, while the archaea enriched on activated carbon was 

mainly Methanosarcina thermophila at thermophilic temperature. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To investigate the effect of temperature on the activity of high-temperature 

phosphate accumulating organisms (PAO<inf>HT</inf>) and their competitive ability for the 

substrate, the sludge from an enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) reactor 

stably operated at the high temperature of 30&#8451; was used. The results showed that 

PAO<inf>HT</inf>activity and their competitive ability for the substrate increased with 

temperature increasing from 15&#8451; to 30&#8451;. When the temperature was as higher as 

30&#8451;, the rates of anaerobic phosphorus release, aerobic phosphorus uptake and 

acetate uptake of PAO<inf>HT</inf>were 239.46 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, 79.90 

mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, 357.47 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The corresponding value of &Delta;P/&Delta;HAc was 0.628, which was 

considerably higher than that of PAO reported in literatures. A simplified Arrhenius 

equation was used to describe the effect of temperature on the rates of anaerobic 

phosphorus release, aerobic phosphorus uptake and acetate uptake, and the temperature 

coefficients were 1.08, 1.07 and 1.05, respectively. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Pengxi River is the largest tributary in the northern bank of Yangtze River in 

the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) region, and serious algal bloom has been reported since 

2003 when the TGR dam started impounding water. On the other hand, Modao River, a 

tributary in TGR locating in the same county with Pengxi River, was rarely reported with 

algal bloom in the same time period. In this study, water samples were collected on the 

same day in both rivers in spring and summer, the most likely blooming seasons in TGR, to 

compare the water quality parameters and Chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) concentration dynamics in 

order to understand the mechanism of algal bloom in TGR. The results showed that the 

maximum value of Chl-a in Pengxi river reached 60.5 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in spring, 

and was only 7.8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in summer, while in Modao river the Chl-a 

content was 2.92 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in spring and 7.48 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>in summer. Both rivers stratified during samplings, but having layers of 

thermocline and hypolimnion with the lack of epilimnion, and most of Chl-a content was 

located in thermocline. Also in both rivers, TN and TP exceeded the international 

threshold for eutrophication, with the average TN and TP values of 2.305 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.053 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in Pengxi River in spring, and 

1.673 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.097 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in summer, respectively, 

while in Modao River the values were 1.875 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.075 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in spring, and 1.79 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.054 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in summer respectively. Nutrients concentrations showed no 

significant correlation with Chl-a. On the other hand, conductivity value and trend were 

totally different between the two rivers: in Modao River in spring, the conductivity in 

upstream was only 75% of that in the main stream of the Yangtze River, and the backwater 

from the main stream reached to the middle in Modao river, where the highest Chl-a among 

all the river sampling sites was detected; summer conductivity distribution was similar 

with that in spring. Different from Modao River, the conductivity in upstream of Pengxi 

River in spring was 150% of that in the main stream of Yangtze, the backwater from the 

main stream reached area between sampling sites of PX04 and PX05 (upper than the middle 

reach); its upstream had significantly high content of Chl-a and conductivity, and these 

two factors were significantly positively correlated. The study showed that other than N 

and P, other ions in the Pengxi River played an important role in bursting 

&ldquo;bloom&rdquo;, and need to be considered regarding bloom control. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:An in-situ paddy experiment was conducted to study the remedying effects of a 

combined amendment(calcium carbonate+diatomite+ferric sulfate) on Cd bioavailability in 

soil and Cd accumulation in rice for spring and autumn rice planted in a certain Cd 

contaminated paddy soil in Beishan Town, Changsha, Hunan Province. The results showed 

that: Application of the combined amendment significantly increased soil pH and CEC 

values in both cultivated seasons, but decreased soil OM contents for the spring rice. 

During the experiment, the contents of TCLP-extractable Cd and CaCl<inf>2</inf>-

extractable Cd in soil were reduced by 18.0%-33.0% and 5.4%-57.9%, respectively. The Cd 

contents in brown rice, husk, leave and root for the spring rice decreased by 29.6%-

56.1%, 52.1%-54.0%, 18.1%-80.7% and 24.4%-41.6%, respectively, due to application of the 

combined amendment. There were significant differences in Cd transport capacity between 

spring rice and autumn rice, and the transportation of soil Cd in autumn rice was 

smoother than that in spring rice. For the autumn rice, the effects of the combined 

amendment were not significant(P&gt;0.05), except that the Cd content in husk increased a 

little after applying 2 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of the combined amendment. Significant 

positive correlations were found between the Cd contents in brown rice and the contents 

of TCLP-extractable Cd or CaCl<inf>2</inf>-extractable Cd in soil. Application of the 

combined amendment effectively inhibited Cd uptake by rice root and reduced Cd content in 

brown rice for the spring rice; however, these remedying effects were significantly 

weakened for the autumn rice due to loss of the combined amendment with the movement of 

irrigation water in the spring season. Therefore, we suggest that supplement of the 

combined amendment is necessary between two rice cultivated seasons. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to investigate the effects of temperature and organic loading on the 

bioactivity reactivation of anoxic biofilm in suspended carriers, the experiment was 

carried out under low organic loading, shock loading and low temperature conditions. The 

experimental results showed that the increase of polysaccharide in extracellular 

polymeric substance (EPS) was important during bioactivity reactivation process, and 

polysaccharide content was higher than that of protein under shock loading and low 

temperature conditions, and the contents of both polysaccharide and protein were much 

higher under low organic loading condition. Anoxic biofilm achieved excellent 

applicability in shock loading condition, moreover anoxic biofilm reactivated under low 

organic loading had lowest denitrication capacity and anoxic biofilm recovered at low 

temperature was in between. In addition, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria under 

low organic loading, shock loading and low temperature conditions increased from 72.23%, 

78.66% and 76.35% to 83.17%, 84.30% and 80.46% at the end of the reactivation process 

(25th day), respectively. However, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria under low 

organic loading was lower than those of other reactors, indicating that the anoxic 

suspended carriers were less suitable for total nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment 

plant. The increase in relative abundance of Dechloromonas was significant for enhancing 

total nitrogen removal, and anoxic biofilm possessed comparatively rich biodiversity when 

the denitrification capability was recovered. The presence of Flavobacterium could 

promote the denitrification capacity of biofilm at low temperature. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of high concentration of total nitrogen (TN) and low 

available carbon source for microorganisms in municipal secondary effluent, the vertical 

flow constructed wetland associated with iron-carbon internal electrolysis (ICIE-VFCW) 

was applied to investigate the removal efficiencies of pollutants in municipal secondary 

effluent. Moreover, the mechanism for enhanced nitrogen removal was primarily discussed 

by the applications of UV visible spectrum (UV-VIS) and gel filtration chromatography 

(GFC). The results showed that the ICIE-VFCW could improve the COD removal efficiencies 

and the effluent COD of less than 30 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>could be stably obtained. 

The average COD removal efficiencies of the whole year, warm months, and cold months 

could be increased by 10.16%, 9.81%, 11.22%, respectively, compared to the control group. 

The effluent TN of the ICIE-VFCW could be maintained below 10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

and the average TN removal efficiencies of the whole year, warm months and cold months 

could be increased by 13.72%, 12.90%, 16.17%, respectively. Besides, compared to the 

influent, the humification, aromaticity and average relative molecular weight 

(M<inf>r</inf>) in the effluent obviously decreased, and the M<inf>r</inf>decreased more 

significantly in the ICIE-VFCW. The ICIE-VFCW could promote the conversion of refractory 

organics in municipal secondary effluent to the small and readily biodegradable 

molecules, which could enhance the utilization of organic compounds by microorganisms, 

thus improving the removal efficiency of nitrogen. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Based on heavy chassis dynamometer, an experimental study was conducted in 

diesel buses compliant with China III, IV, V emissions standards respectively, fueled 

with three different blends of petroleum diesel/biodiesel (0%, 5%and 10%, V/V biodiesel 

blends), which investigated the characteristics of particulate matter (PM) emission under 

CCBC driving cycle. Results of study showed that the total PM number and mass emission 

from China V bus respectively decreased by 68.1%, 56.2%, 57.5% and 52.7%, 64.8%, 88.5% 

compared to China III bus. When compared to China IV bus, the PM mass emission decreased 

by 43.0%, 47.3% and 42.1%, while the number increased by 4.0%, 7.6% and 14.7%. The 

nucleation mode PM emission of China III bus was mainly from high-speed driving 

condition, while China IV and V buses were from middle-low speed. The accumulation mode 

PM emissions of China III, IV and V buses were all mainly from middle-low speed driving 

conditions. In relatively lower speed conditions, compared to China III bus, the 

nucleation mode PM emissions of China IV and V buses obviously decreased, so was 

accumulation mode PM. Compared to China IV bus, emission of China V bus did not improve 

obviously and the nucleation mode PM emission even increased. In high-speed driving 

condition, the nucleation mode PM emission from China III bus increased dramatically, 

while those from China V and IV buses slightly increased. Meanwhile, the accumulation PM 

number and mass emission of China IV bus was obviously higher than those of China V and 

III buses. When fueled with B10, the relatively bigger sizes PM emission of China III bus 

deteriorated rapidly, indicating that China III bus was not suitable for fuel with high 

blending ratio of biodiesel. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To illustrate the species and characteristics of filamentous microorganisms in 

bulking sludge, culture method, microscopic examination and molecular biological analysis 

were conducted to isolate and identify the filamentous microorganisms existing in bulking 

sludge collected from municipal wastewater treatment plant. Filamentous microorganisms 

isolated by Gause's synthetic agar medium and starch agar fell into 18 genera, among 

which Streptomyces and Microbacterium belong to bacterial phylum Actinobacteria, all 

other isolates were classified into fungi. Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, 

Aspergillus and Trichosporon were the fungi with high occurrence frequency in culture 

medium. Trichosporon, Streptomyces, Penicillium and Alternaria could grow well at neutral 

pH or meta-acid condition. High concentration of NaCl could inhibit the growth of 

Trichosporon and Streptomyces, but had no obvious inhibitory effect on Penicillium and 

Alternaria. Except of Trichosporon, Streptomyces, Penicillium and Alternaria all could 

utilize saccharose, starch and cellulose. The increase of carbon source concentration 

could promote their growth. The results of high throughput sequencing of rDNA-ITS showed 

that a large number of unidentified fungi existed in bulking sludge. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Industrial processing and solvent use are two most important industrial sources 

of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in China, and the source profile study has attracted 

increasing attention recently. Studies of VOCs source profiles from industrial processing 

and solvent use since the year of 2000 were summarized in this study, focusing on the 

comparison among different studies and the potential impact of different research 

methods. In general, studies were very limited and focused on few sources. Specifically, 

only 8 of 32 sub-categories of the industrial processing (according to the source 

classification method of the National Guidelines for VOCs Inventories Preparation) have 

been reported, and in terms of the solvent use sources, 4 of 10 sub-categories have been 

reported. There were large differences among the VOCs patterns of different sub 

categories emissions of industrial processing or solvent use. In terms of studies of the 

similar emissions, significant differences of VOCs profiles were resulted from the 

different research methods, such as the different sampling methods and VOCs analysis 

techniques. In addition, the non-uniformity of VOC species in the source profile caused 

difficulty for the comparison of different research results. Oxygen-containing VOCs were 

important components of the above two types of pollution sources and needed to be 

included in the measurement. An opening and interactive database of VOCs from industrial 

processing and solvent use is critically essential in the future, and mechanisms of 

sharing and inputting relative research results should be formed to encourage researchers 

to join the database establishment. Correspondingly, detailed quality assurance and 

quality control procedures are also very important, which include the detailed 

information such as research objectives, sampling and analysis methods, research region 

and time, and test times, et al. Based on the community above, a better uncertainty 

analysis could be carried out for the VOCs emissions profiles, which is critically 

important to understand the VOCs emission characteristics of the industrial processing 

and solvent use. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This paper studied the effects of two amendments (iron sulfate [Fe<inf>2</inf>

(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>] and calcium carbonate [CaCO<inf>3</inf>]) on the 

bioavailability of Pb, Cd and As in a garden soil and on the migration and accumulation 

of Pb, Cd and As in pepper through an in-situ experiment planting pepper plants. The 

results indicated that: &#9312; Addition of these amendments significantly decreased TCLP 

extractable contents of Pb and Cd in soil, and increased TCLP extractable contents of As. 

&#9313;Compared with the control group, addition of Fe<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)

<inf>3</inf>led to reduction in contents of Pb and Cd in pepper fruits by 7.2%-22.9% and 

2.3%-2.9%, respectively, but no obvious changes were observed for As contents in pepper 

fruits. Meanwhile, addition of CaCO<inf>3</inf>decreased the contents of Pb, Cd and As in 

pepper fruits by 15.8%-16.3%, 11.8%-15.0%, and 0.03%-53.2%, respectively. &#9314;The 

maximum reductions for the translocation factors of Pb, Cd and As from stem to fruits in 

pepper plants were 16.7%, 68.0%, 10.2%, respectively, due to Fe<inf>2</inf>

(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>application and 16.7%, 51.5%, 45.6%, respectively, due to 

CaCO<inf>3</inf>application, compared with the control group. It was obvious that 

Fe<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>and CaCO<inf>3</inf>could both effectively 

decrease the migration of soil Pb, Cd and As to pepper plants, but the effects of 

CaCO<inf>3</inf>were better than those of Fe<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>.

Abstract:The H and O isotope composition of the Xijiang water was investigated on 54 

samples collected from the mainstreams and main tributaries in June 2014 and January 

2015.It was found that in the Xijiang river, there was a remarkable linear relationship 

between &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and &delta;D. This relationship was more significant in the 

dry season. In both seasons, the<sup>18</sup>O and D values distributed along the 

meteoric water line, which indicated that precipitation was the source of the Xijiang 

River. Due to the direct water recharge through karst forms (i.e. sinkholes, vertical 

shaft and funnel) to the underground river, the d-excess value was higher in the rainy 

season. While during the dry season, water recharge came from the storage in fissures and 

pores. Affected by altitude and evaporation effect, along the mainstream Hongshui River-

Xunjiang and tributary Youjiang-Yujiang reach, the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and &delta;D 

values were gradually approaching positive value in general. However, along the short 

tributary Guijiang reach, the altitude difference was not dramatic, and the discharge was 

less, the same phenomenon was not observed. By establishing a linear regression model 

between &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and altitude, it revealed that the change rate of Xijiang 

water with altitude was -0.44&permil;&middot;(100 m)<sup>-1</sup>in the rainy season, and 

-0.45&permil;&middot;(100 m)<sup>-1</sup>in the dry season. The result reflected the 

height effect of the precipitation, which has a considerable meaning for the study of 

hydrological cycle in a river basin. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The soils from residential areas of Xi'an city were selected as a case area. The 

absolute principal component scores-multivariate linear regression (APCS-MLR) model and 

the ordinary kriging interpolation were combined to identify and apportion the pollution 

sources of soil heavy metals (As, Ba, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn, V), the percentage of 

contribution of every source for every element, and the spatial distribution 

characteristics of contribution rates. Compared with the background values of cinnamon, 

which is the main soil type in Xi 'an, the accumulation levels of Pb, Cu, Sr, Co, Zn, Ba, 

Ni, As, Mn, V in soil of urban residential areas in Xi'an city decreased in turn. The 

standard-exceeding ratios of Ba, Co, Cu, Pb, Sr, Zn were higher than those of other 

studied elements. Three main pollution sources of soil heavy metals in residential areas 

were natural source, traffic sources, and fossil fuel combustion source, respectively. 

Natural source was the main source of As, Mn, Ni, V in studied residential areas. The 

average contribution rate of natural source for As, Mn, Ni, V was 69.63%, 74.28%, 68.65%, 

77.09%, respectively. The fossil fuel combustion was the second largest contributor for 

their accumulation in these studied residential areas. Its contribution rate for As, Mn, 

Ni was 23.07%, 19.09%, 23.13%, respectively. The contribution of traffic emissions was

in east. The average contribution rates of fossil fuel combustion source for Co, Pb, Sr, 

Zn were 59.84%, 42.22%, 44.50%, 44.44%, respectively. The performance of spatial 

distribution was increased gradually from the city center to the outside. The sources of

Abstract:The main exposure pathways of DL-PCBs in local population were studied by 

analyzing the levels, distributions and relationships of DL-PCBs in pooled tree bark 

samples and hair samples collected in Kaiyuan, Yunnan Province, China. The results 

indicated that the concentrations of DL-PCBs in bark and hair samples were 4.0 

pg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>to 88.9 pg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 4.1 pg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>to 19.3 pg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, suggesting the pollution levels of 

DL-PCBs were relatively low in local environment and human body. The predominant PCB 

congeners in bark and hair was PCB-118, contributing 48% of the total DL-PCB 

concentrations in the bark samples and 61% of the total DL-PCB concentrations in the hair 

samples. The DL-PCB congeners in tree bark might had the same sources and these compounds 

might be derived from atmospheric long-range transport. External and internal exposures 

were responsible for the DL-PCBs concentrations in hair, and external exposure 

contributed more to low chlorinated PCBs than to high chlorinated PCBs. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Soil extracellular enzymes are crucial in biogeochemical cycle and ecosystem 

functioning. Yet uncertainty exists in terms of major determinants on soil extracellular 

enzyme activity (EEA), especially at calcareous areas. In this study, soil samples (0-15 

cm) were collected from different topographic conditions (different slope positions and 

aspects) and different tree species (Cryptocarya concinna and Eurycorymbus cavaleriei) in 

a forest located at Mulun natural reserve, a typical karst area. Six hydrolytic enzymes, 

related to carbon, nitrogen or phosphorus cycling, and soil physiochemical properties 

were investigated. The effects of topography, tree species and soil properties on soil 

enzyme activities were analyzed by multi-response permutation procedures (MRPP), 

redundancy analysis (RDA) and variation partitioning. The enzyme profiles were 

significantly (P&lt;0.05) separated among the four slope positions but not significantly 

separated between the two aspects or two tree species according to multi-response 

permutation procedure (MRPP) analysis. Variation partitioning indicated that topography, 

tree species and soil properties together explained 55.3% of EEA variation. Soil property 

was the key factor influencing EEA variation, which explained 44.2% of EEA variation. The 

result of redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that soil pH, total nitrogen and inorganic 

nitrogen were the most important variables among the nine soil properties for EEA 

variation. This study first quantified the effects of small-scale topographic, tree 

species, and soil properties on soil enzyme activity variation in karst areas. Our 

results suggest that EEA variation can be well explained by soil properties at a small 

scale in the karst area. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Due to the rapid urbanization and increasing energy consumption, air pollution, 

especially some fine particulates like PM<inf>2.5</inf>rise in the context of fast 

urbanization. PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution has been given considerable attention recent 

years. High PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration is the main reason for the atmospheric haze in 

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Air pollution has become the key issue restricting the 

sustainable development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and even the whole country. 

Long-term exposure to PM<inf>2.5</inf>is likely to cause adverse effects on human health. 

The spatial-temporal variation of air pollution can be characterized by the land use 

regression model. It is significant to have a good knowledge of spatial characteristics 

of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration, which could assist air pollution management and the 

epidemiological research. This manuscript used air quality data of 104 monitoring sites 

of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 1st January 2014 to 31st December, 2014, combined 

with VIIRS (visible infrared imaging radiometer) AOD(aerosol optical depth), land use, 

meteorological factors, road network, population, and pollutant sources distribution to 

establish the land use regression model by least square method and geographically 

weighted method respectively. The four models established were least square land use 

regression model with VIIRS AOD data, geographically weighted land use regression model 

with VIIRS AOD data, least square land use regression model without VIIRS AOD data and 

geographically weighted land use regression model without VIIRS AOD data. And the 

adjusted R<sup>2</sup>values for these four models were 82.13%, 84.87%, 80.45% and 

81.99%, respectively. Research results demonstrated that the geographically weighted 

method performed better than the least square method and improved the land use regression 

model to a certain extent. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:An analysis was made by using historical observational data of Guangzhou Panyu 

Atmospheric Composition Station(GPACS). The results showed that typical haze processes 

accompanied with high ozone episodes happened during the period from September 2rd, 2011 

to September 5th, 2011(P<inf>1</inf>) and the period from June 12th, 2012 to June 15th, 

2012(P<inf>2</inf>) respectively. During the two combined pollution processes 

(P<inf>1</inf>and P<inf>2</inf>), daily visibility ranged from 5.78 km to 6.91 km and 

from 5.60 km to 9.25 km, and the maximum 8 h O<inf>3</inf>reached 92.14&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>and 91.29&times;10<sup>-9</sup>respectively. Among the 55 detected volatile 

organic compounds(VOCs), alkenes and aromatics had the highest reactivity with the 41%, 

39% proportions of equivalent propylene concentration and the proportions of 28%, 54% in 

the aspect of ozone formation potential during P<inf>1</inf>. Alkenes and aromatics 

contributed 35% and 46% of equivalent propylene concentration, as well as 22% and 61% to 

ozone formation potential during P<inf>2</inf>. In terms of SOA formation potential by 

FAC estimation, alkanes, alkenes and aromatics accounted for 13.2%, 21.4%, 65.4% during 

P<inf>1</inf>and 4.6%, 13.8%, 81.6% during P<inf>2</inf>respectively. Toluene, isoprene, 

ethylbenzene and m, p-Xylene had large contributions to the ozone and SOA formation. 

Factors including pollutants transported from the downtown area, continuous gentle wind, 

high temperature, low humidity and strong radiation gave rise to the occurrence of high 

ozone episodes in these two haze processes. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The effect of Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O on 

the carbon fixation capability of Thiobacillus thioparus(DSM 505) was determined by 

measuring the total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations under different concentrations of 

Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O. In addition, the 

mechanism was clarified by analyzing the transcription characteristics of RubisCO-

encoding genes (cbb genes) and the concentrations of extracellular free organic carbon 

(EFOC) under different concentrations of 

Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O. The result showed that 

by increasing the concentrations of 

Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O appropriately, the carbon 

fixation capability of Thiobacillus thioparus could be promoted and the ratio of 

extracellular free organic carbon to total organic carbon fell significantly. Moreover, 

the analysis from the transcription characteristics of cbb genes revealed that 

Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O had no significant effect 

on the transcription efficiency and transcription pattern of cbb genes. So 

Na<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>&middot;5H<inf>2</inf>O might improve the carbon 

fixation capability by promoting the cytoskeleton synthesis rate as electron donors to 

eliminate the inhibition effect of extracellular free organic carbon on the carbon 

fixation of Thiobacillus thioparus. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Particulate matter (PM) is the primary air pollutant in Beijing, and its 

emission control is an important direction of air pollution prevention and control. 

Construction dust plays a significant role in the source of airborne particulate matter 

in Beijing. Due to population growth and economic development, the demand for residential 

and office space has been increasing which results in a high construction area in Beijing 

and dust pollution caused by construction activities. However, there are few studies 

focusing on fugitive dust emissions from construction sites and their contribution to air 

pollution in Beijing. Under this background, this paper established an estimation model 

of dust emission from construction sites, and used the localized emission factor to 

calculate the dust emission from 2000 to 2015 in Beijing, identified the emission 

characteristics and laws of construction dust emission and quantified the uncertainty 

range of the emissions. The WRF/CMAQ model system was used to simulate the contribution 

of dust pollution to quantify its influence on air quality. The results showed that the 

dust emission from construction sites in Beijing has been increasing, but the 

construction area is falling in recent years. However, the emission of PM is still high 

and needs to be paid enough attention. In the spatial distribution, the dust emissions in 

summer and autumn are larger than those in other seasons. As for spatial distribution, 

the construction dust is mainly concentrated in the urban function extension area and 

suburban area, which is related to the extension of population activities and the gradual 

development of urbanization. The contribution of construction dust to PM<inf>10</inf>and 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration in the ambient air can reach 31.3 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>and 9.6 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. Through scenarios analysis, for 

further reduction of the emission from construction sites in 2030, more stricter standard 

for green construction and powerful supervision are needed. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Soil microorganisms drive the biogeochemical process of carbon, nitrogen, 

phosphorus and sulfur, and play a key role in maintaining soil carbon sink and ecosystem 

function. The study on effects of environmental and spatial factors on the structure of 

microbial community in boreal coniferous forest soil will provide theoretical basis for 

making management measures in local forest ecosystem. Our research analyzed five soil 

fungi communities (LpMC1, LpMC2, PwMC, PtMC, and BMC) in four forest types, including 

Larix principis-rupprechtii forest, Picea wilsonii forest, Pinus tabulaeformis forest and 

Betula spp. forest, respectively, in Pangquangou Nature Reserve in Guandi Mountains with 

Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Meanwhile, soil environmental factors and 

diversity of undergrowth plants were determined to analyze the relationship between fungi 

community structure and vegetation as well as soil environmental factors. The results 

showed that: (1)There were seven eumycota and thirty-three advantageous fungal genera in 

the five sample sites; (2) Redundancy analysis results showed that soil pH, temperature, 

moisture, total nitrogen, the content of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, total carbon, 

invertase activity, urease activity, undergrowth dominance and evenness were 

significantly associated with soil fungi community structure; (3) Cluster analysis and 

principal component analysis showed that forest vegetation type, soil environmental 

factors and undergrowth had significant effects on soil fungi community structure; (4) 

The results of PCNM analysis showed that at a local scale, dispersal limitation had no 

significant influence on fungi community structure in the study area. The forest soil 

fungi community structure in the study area was significantly affected by environmental 

selection (soil pH, temperature, moisture, total nitrogen, the content of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, total carbon, invertase activity, urease activity, 

undergrowth dominance and evenness, forest type). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

showed that, the health risks caused by PAHs followed lognormal distribution with 

3.43&times;10<sup>-5</sup>&plusmn;2.63&times;10<sup>-5</sup>for carcinogenic risk, which 

was between 8.10&times;10<sup>-7</sup>and 2.39&times;10<sup>-4</sup>and the probabilities 

exceeding 10<sup>-6</sup>, 10<sup>-5</sup>and 10<sup>-4</sup>were 95%, 75% and less than 

5%. And the value was 4.74&times;10<sup>-2</sup>&plusmn;3.42&times;10<sup>-2</sup>for 

hazard quotient, which was between 1.38&times;10<sup>-3</sup>and 2.85&times;10<sup>-

1</sup>and less than 1, so could be regarded negligible. As for total carcinogenic risk 

(TCR), the most influential PAHs were BaP, DBA and BaA, and their contribution rates were 

60.41%, 26.84% and 6.56%, respectively. Among the three exposure pathways, the risk was 

mainly caused by oral intake with the contribution rate of 73.22%, followed by dermal 

contact with 26.51%. The most influential parameters were: intake amount of soil per day, 

exposure duration and exposed skin area with the sensitivity values of 58.35%, 50.21% and 

20.51%, respectively. And body weight had a negative sensitivity with -11.66%. When it 

came to total hazard quotient (THQ), Pyr, FL and PA accounted for the most with 36.56%, 

33.18% and 13.18%, respectively. And the oral intake and dermal contact were also primary 

exposure pathways with 72.21% and 26.36%. The most significant parameters were the same 

with TCR with the sensitivity values of 63.52%, 53.18%, 24.39% and -13.98%, respectively.

Abstract:The distribution and vertical variation of phosphorus forms in sediments along 

Xiangxi River were analyzed with Hedley classification method, meanwhile the influences 

of physical and chemical properties of overlying and interstitial water on the release of 

phosphorus in sediment were discussed. The major findings showed that the pH values in 

the overlying and interstitial water increased from 4.72 to 8.55, and were slightly 

acidic in summer, while weak alkaline in other seasons. The redox potential of sediment 

was in the reduction state overall. The annual variation range of total phosphorus (TP) 

content in the overlying and interstitial water, and that in the sediment was 0.02-0.48 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.48-1.45 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

distribution features of TP content in the sediment were the same with those in the 

interstitial water along the Xiangxi River. It was interesting that the content of TP in 

the interstitial water in spring and summer was higher than that in autumn and winter, 

but that in the sediment of Xiangxi River was opposite. The content of different 

phosphorus (P) forms decreased successively: HCl-P (HCl extracted phosphorus)&gt;Res-P 

(residual phosphorus)&gt;NaOH-P (NaOH extracted phosphorus)&gt;NaHCO<inf>3</inf>-P 

(NaHCO<inf>3</inf>extracted phosphorus)&gt;H<inf>2</inf>O-P (water-soluable phosphorus). 

The reductive environment of the interface between sediment and overlying water, and pH 

of water in spring (weak alkaline) and summer (slightly acidic), were conducive to 

phosphorus release from sediment into overlying water, increasing the eutrophication 

risk. TP content in the interstitial water was closely related to that in sediment. The 

PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3-</sup>-P in 4 sampling areas diffused from the interstitial water 

into the overlying water with diffusive fluxes in the range of 0.01-0.04 mg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. All of these findings indicated that sediments is 

an important source of nutrient for the overlying water. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Pot experiments were used to study the correlations between different 

extractable cadmium levels in typical soil and cadmium accumulation in rice. To analyze 

the pH, Cd in soil solution(SSE-Cd), TCLP extractable Cd level(TCLP-Cd), and Cd 

accumulation in rice at different growth stages of rice, we conducted pot experiments 

which selected the reddish clayey soil(developed from quaternary red clay parent 

materials) and purple paddy field(developed from purple sandy shale parent materials), 

meanwhile added with exogenous Cd with the gradients of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The results showed that, during the rice growth period, the 

content of SSE-Cd in reddish clayey soil was in the range of 0 and 2.5 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and the average content was 0.57 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>; TCLP-Cd was in the range of 0 and 0.25 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with the 

average content of 0.10 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>; The content of SSE-Cd in purple paddy 

field was in the range of 0 and 1.6 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with the average content 

of 0.48 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; TCLP-Cd was in the range of 0 and 0.2 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and the average content was 0.07 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. It 

showed that the cadmium concentrations in soil solution and the TCLP extractable Cd 

levels were both significantly reduced in two types of soil with the extension of rice 

growth period, and the content in reddish clayey soil was higher than that in purple 

paddy. The TCLP extractable Cd level was significantly positively correlated with Cd 

concentration in soil solution. The total Cd accumulation in rice plants gradually 

increased with increasing exogenous Cd concentration. There were significant positive 

correlations between Cd concentration in soil solution and Cd concentration in rice, Cd 

concentration in soil extracted by TCLP method and Cd concentration in rice and total Cd 

accumulation in rice plant. The soil environmental capacities of the two different parent 

materials varied greatly, and the safety threshold of Cd in purple paddy field was 2.06 

times of that of reddish clayey soil. There were significant differences in Cd uptake and 

accumulation in different soils, so different measures may be needed to control Cd 

pollution in different parent materials. TCLP extractable Cd was more relevant with total 

Cd accumulation in rice, and had more extraction amount. Therefore, the TCLP method can 

more accurately evaluate the biological availability of soil Cd. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The massive release of soil arsenic and its enrichment in rice are significantly 

associated with the flooded and anaerobic management in paddy soil. Soil redox potential 

(Eh), pH and iron oxides exert remarkable impacts on arsenic release, which remain to be 

explored. In this study, long-term aerobic and anaerobic as well as intermittent aerobic 

incubation treatments were applied to investigate the influences of Eh, pH and iron 

content on arsenic release. It was found that anaerobic and flooded treatment contributed 

to the highest arsenic release. With decreasing Eh, significant enhancement in As(III) 

and As(V) contents in soil solution was observed. Particularly, As(III) and As(V) 

contents during the second phase increased by 1.37 and 0.99 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>compared with those in the first phase. Conversely, significant reduction in soil 

arsenic release (P&lt;0.05) occurred when intermittent aerobic treatment was adopted, and 

the lowest level of arsenic release was observed along with the longest treatment time (6 

d). The exponent relationships between arsenic and soil Eh, pH and Fe<sup>2+</sup>content 

were also established, which indicated that arsenic release could be accelerated by lower 

pH and elevated Eh. In addition, a significant positive correlation was also found 

between iron(II) content and arsenic content in soil solution. Since low Eh and elevated 

pH served as critical factors driving arsenic release, intermittent and aerobic water 

management was proved to be an effective method for the inhibition of arsenic release and 

uptake and accumulation of arsenic by rice. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Three MBBRs and three curtain type trickling filters (CTFs) with different 

carriers were operated in lab-scale simulated RASs. The characteristics of biofilms, 

ammonia removal rates and microbial communities in six reactors were compared with each 

other. Compared with the biofilms of MBBRs, the biofilms of CTFs were heavier and grew 

faster. The weight of biofilms on CTFs with carbon fiber carriers was the maximum (45.97 

g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>), and the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency (86.76%) of this 

CTFs was higher than the other filters or reactors (61.96%~78.76%). In addition, the 

concentration of the accumulated nitrite in the carbon fiber CTFs was the lowest in all 

the six reactors. The microbial communities of biofilms in the six biofilters were 

evaluated by the high-throughput Illumina-MiSeq sequencing technology. The results showed 

that the microbial (bacteria and eukaryote) community in biofilms of CTFs was different 

from that in biofilms of MBBRs. At both bacteria and micro-eukaryote level, the species 

richness and biological diversity of biofilms in the trickling filters were higher than 

those in the MBBRs. On the contrary, the Simpson index of bacterial community in biofilms 

of MBBRs was higher than that in the trickling filters. In all the six biofilters, 

Nitrospira and Nakamurella were the dominated bacterial genera. Saprospiraceae was more 

abundant in CTFs than in MBBRs, but Comamonadaceae was enriched in the MBBRs. At the 

micro-eukaryote genus level, Rhabditida norank genus was more abundant in CTFs, while 

Chlorophyceae norank genus was more abundant in the MBBRs. The results provide useful 

information about microbial ecology that can be used for the application of CTFs in RAS.

Abstract:Gaseous emissions from 25 State 2-5 light-duty gasoline vehicles were tested by 

Vehicle Mass Analysis System (VMAS) and CVS (Constant Volume Sampling) system, 

respectively. The correlations of emission factors of tested vehicles measured by these 2 

methods were analyzed. The results showed that emission factors of light-duty gasoline 

vehicle had a decreasing trend with the promotion of emission standard. There were some 

high-emitting vehicles in the fleet of tested State 2 and State 3 vehicles, but fewer in 

State 4 or Stated 5 vehicle fleet. The correlations of the emission factors measured by 

the 2 methods deteriorated with the promotion of emission standard. The relative bias of 

CO and HC+NO<inf>x</inf>emission factors measured by the 2 methods reached 197% and 177%, 

respectively. The correlation coefficient of emission factors of higher-emitting vehicles 

was 0.75-0.85, while that of lower-emitting vehicles was only 0.46. If tighter emission 

standard of in-use light-duty gasoline vehicle was adopted, the false positive rate of 

measurement results by VMAS would rise significantly. In summary, VMAS method is hard to 

be applied in the emission measurements of light-duty gasoline vehicles with stricter 

emissions standard. It is necessary to conduct more studies on sophisticated in-use 

vehicle measurement system. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To explore the accumulation characteristics and health risk assessment of heavy 

metals in wild fish species, the concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg) 

in the muscle samples of eight wild fish species collected from Diaojiang River, Guangxi 

were analyzed. The degree of pollution, food safety and health risk of heavy metals in 

wild fish species were evaluated using the average pollution index and the target hazard 

quotient methods. The results showed that the concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg in 

wild fish species ranged from 0.041 to 1.160, 0.000 1 to 0.066, 0.173 to 0.789, 0.010 to 

2.420 and 0.000 7 to 0.077mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The concentrations of 

Pb and As in wild fish species exceeded the limit values of the Maximum Levels of 

Contaminants in Foods (GB 2762-2012), and the over-standard rates were 5.06% and 64.56% 

respectively. The concentrations of Cd, Cr and Hg did not exceed the standard. The 

average pollution index results showed that Acheilognathus tonkinensis and Acheilognathus 

barbatus were seriously polluted by heavy metals. The Oreochromis niloticus were 

moderately polluted. The Siniperca kneri Garman, Carassius auratus, Pseudohemiculter 

dispar, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Hemiculter leucisculus were slightly polluted. Higher 

bioaccumulation factors of Pb, Cr and Hg were found in wild fish species from Diaojiang 

River. The concentrations of heavy metals in carnivorous fish and omnivorous fish were 

higher than those in herbivorous fish. Potential health risk assessment showed that the 

total target hazard quotients (TTHQ) of Acheilognathus tonkinensis and Acheilognathus 

barbatus were higher than 1. It indicated that the local residents posed higher human 

health risk due to the long-term consumption of Acheilognathus tonkinensis and 

Acheilognathus barbatus. Among all the TTHQ in wild fish species (except Pseudohemiculter 

dispar and Hemiculter leucisculus), the contribution rate of As was the highest, and the 

average contribution rate reached 76.63%, which indicated that As was the main risk 

factor. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Great attention has been paid to accelerate the start-up period and enhance floc 

properties and structural stability in activated sludge reactors with the aid of 

inorganic chemical agents such as calcium ion. The laboratory-scale sequencing batch 

reactors (SBRs) were operated continuously for 35 days to investigate the effect of 

calcium ion (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) on the physicochemical properties and evolution of 

extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of activated sludge during set-up period. When 

compared to the control (non-calcium ion addition), the addition of 150 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>Ca<sup>2+</sup>to the influent significantly increased the mixed 

liquid suspended solids (MLSS) and the mixed liquid volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) by 

89.6% and 75.6% on 28 d, respectively, and decreased the sludge volume index (SVI) by 

47.9% following SBRs set-up. Compared with the control system, the contents of EPS, 

polysaccharides (PS) and proteins (PN) were increased by 76.4%, 28.8% and 31.6% under the 

condition of Ca<sup>2+</sup>dosage of 150 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The PS/PN ratio was 

68.8 for Ca<sup>2+</sup>addition, compared to only 36.6 for the control reactor. Analysis 

using three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy and Fourier 

transform infrared spectrum revealed that Ca<sup>2+</sup>addition changed the 

compositional characteristics of EPS. Results from this study provided a fundamental 

knowledge basis for the improvement of the settling properties of activated sludge with

Abstract:As an effective technology for wastewater treatment, bio-filter has been widely 

used. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of systematic report on purification efficiency 

and influencing factors of combined bio-filters. To this end, a novel combined system 

that consisted of aerated vertical-flow filter (AVF) followed by baffled horizontal-flow 

filter (BHF) was designed. After setting a series of hydraulic loading rates (131, 94 and 

60 mm&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>) and diversion ratios (8&#8758;2, 6&#8758;4, 4&#8758;6), we 

comprehensively assessed the impact of running condition adjustment on treatment 

performance by multiple statistical analyses. The results showed that, the average 

removal rates of organic matter, ammonia nitrogen and dissolved nitrogen in AVF were all 

above 80%, while the average removal rates of ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen and 

dissolved nitrogen in BHF were all below 40%. Different running conditions had a 

significant (P&lt;0.05) impact on treatment performance. Meanwhile, there were 

significant differences in purification efficiency between the two different kinds of 

filters. Oxidative degradation was one of the main ways to remove organic matter in the 

two kinds of filters. There were obvious nitrification and denitrification processes 

within the two kinds of filters. Nitrification followed by denitrification was the main 

way to remove total nitrogen since ammonium occupied the most portion of total nitrogen 

in the synthetic wastewater. Meanwhile, the intensity of nitrification and 

denitrification in AVF was obviously higher than that in BHF. Phosphorus removal was 

mainly controlled by hydraulic loading rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen, organic 

matter, etc. This might indicate that microbial absorption was one of the main ways to 

remove phosphorus for the two filters. Compared to the sole AVF, the removal of total 

organic matter and total phosphorus in the combined system was increased by 4.4% and 

23.2%, respectively, but the removal of total nitrogen was reduced by 12.1%. Reducing the 

diversion ratio was helpful to improve the denitrification intensity in BHF. However, due 

to the introduction of excessive ammonia from the raw wastewater, as well as the limited 

nitrification capacity in BHF, the removal rate of total nitrogen for the combined system 

was decreased. Therefore, according to the composition of treated raw wastewater, the 

control of appropriate diversion ratio, residence time and redox conditions inside the 

filter bed was the key to enhance the overall performance of the combined system. &copy;

Abstract:The primary aim of this study was to quantify the effects of long-term organic 

amendments on soil nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O) emissions. Using static chamber-gas 

chromatograph technique, we measured N<inf>2</inf>O fluxes from winter wheat-maize 

rotation system and related environmental factors in the Guanzhong Plain for one year 

(October 2014 to October 2015). Field experiments were based on the &ldquo;Chinese 

National Loess Fertility and Fertilizer Effects Long-term Monitoring Experiment&rdquo;. 

Four treatments were control (CK, 0 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), NPK (NPK, 353 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), NPK combined with maize straw [NPKS, (353+40) 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>] and cattle waste [NPKM, (238+115) kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>]. 

During the experimental period, N<inf>2</inf>O fluxes from CK treatment were small 

[&lt;2.9 g&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>]; while emissions from 

fertilized treatments peaked after fertilization [up to 113.4 g&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>for NPKS] and irrigation [up to 495.0 g&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>for NPKM] during winter wheat and maize seasons, 

respectively. N<inf>2</inf>O flux was significantly correlated to soil water-filled pore 

space for all treatments (r&gt;0.28, P&lt;0.05). Annual N<inf>2</inf>O emissions were 

(0.1&plusmn;0.0), (2.6&plusmn;0.1), (3.4&plusmn;0.7) and (2.9&plusmn;0.3) 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>for CK, NPK, NPKS and NPKM, respectively. The fertilized 

treatments released higher N<inf>2</inf>O emissions than CK treatment (P&lt;0.05), 

indicating that fertilization stimulated N<inf>2</inf>O emissions. However, the 

differences in N<inf>2</inf>O emissions were not significant among the fertilized 

treatments (P=0.06), suggesting that organic amendments did not increase N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions obviously. The direct emission factors were 0.72%, 0.83% and 0.80% for NPK, 

NPKS and NPKM, respectively, all of which were lower than the IPCC default of 1%. The 

yield-scaled N<inf>2</inf>O emission for NPKM was the lowest among the fertilized 

treatments. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, seven bisphenol analogues were measured in water and sediment 

samples from Taihu Lake, and potential risk was evaluated. The results showed that BPF, 

BPS and BPA were the predominant components in water samples from Lake Taihu. In 

sediment, BPA was always predominant, followed by BPF and BPS, and there was a 

significant positive correlation between BPs and TOC content. In addition, the high 

concentration levels of BPF, BPS and BPA were distributed in the tributaries of Lake 

Taihu (S4-S10). The risk assessment of the target BPs showed that the combined risk 

quotients posed a low eco-toxicity to aquatic ecosystem, and there was no appreciable 

risk to human health from potential environmental exposure of drinking water. &copy;

Abstract:Rice straw is supposed to be an environment-friendly biomaterial for inhibiting 

the growth of harmful blooms of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. The effects of 

rice straw extract (RSE) on algal growth, morphologic parameters (cell size), and 

physiological parameters (in vivo Chl-a fluorescence) were investigated using flow 

cytometry. We examined the selective inhibitory potential of rice straw on four 

cyanobacterial strains (toxic and non-toxic Microcystis aeruginosa, toxic Anabaena flos-

aquae, and Microcystis ichthyoblabe), in comparison with inhibitory effects on three 

common freshwater green algae (Selenastrum capricornutum, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and 

Scenedesmus obliqnus). Concentrations from 2.0 to 10.0 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of RSE were 

found to efficiently inhibit the growth of cyanobacteria in a dose-dependent manner, 

simultaneously modifying the in vivo Chl-a fluorescence and cell size. The 50% growth-

inhibition concentration (7 d) of A. flos-aquae, M. ichthyoblabe, M. aeruginosa (toxic 

strain), M. aeruginosa (non-toxic strain) was 1.72, 2.21, 2.92 and 5.72 g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. Interestingly, the growth and cell size of C. pyrenoidosa and S. 

obliqnus increased with the addition of RSE and colony formation was observed. In the 

case of S. capricornutum, the inhibitory effect of RSE on growth and in vivo Chl-a 

fluorescence occurred at 1.0-4.0 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, while RSE induced a stimulatory 

effect on algal growth at 8.0-10.0 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Taken together, the 

sensitivity of cyanobacteria to RSE was significantly higher than that of S. 

capricornutum, C. pyrenoidosa and S. obliqnus. The higher sensitivity of PSII reaction 

center of cyanobacteria and the ability to form colonies of green algae may have 

important implications for the species-specific allelopathic antialgal activity of rice 

straw. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Hydrocarbons emitted by human activities probably constitute the largest class 

of contaminants that are present in coastal areas, because of widespread use of fossil 

fuels for power generation and logistics, and accidental spillages. The chemical 

composition of hydrocarbon mixtures found in the marine environment allowed the 

identification of relative contributions of different natural and anthropogenic sources. 

Identification of these hydrocarbons, especially n-alkanes, could act as tracers for the 

possible sources. To evaluate n-alkanes concentrations with emphasis on source analysis, 

surface water without visible oil was collected from the cruise in April 2016. 

Determination and quantification were performed by solvent extraction and gas 

chromatography-mass spectrometry. Various molecular diagnostic parameters were used to 

assess the contribution of different sources and origin of n-alkanes in surface seawater 

of Jiaozhou Bay. Concentrations of total dissolved n-alkanes (C<inf>11</inf>-

C<inf>37</inf>) were between 1.756-39.09 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with a high carbon 

number predominance profile without odd-even carbon number preference. The n-alkane 

concentrations varied spatially depending on the distance away from main input sources 

and the ability of water exchange. It was at a higher concentration in the northeast and 

west coastal areas, as well as the mouth of Jiaozhou Bay. And concentrations were 

relatively lower in the inner area and outside of Jiaozhou Bay. In the sea area with 

strong water exchange, concentrations of total n-alkanes were around 2.196 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which could be considered as the environmental background 

level of n-alkanes in Jiaozhou Bay. Those n-alkanes were dominated with C<inf>24</inf>, 

with a slightly odd carbon number preference in low carbon n-alkanes and an even carbon 

number preference in high carbon n-alkanes. The values of CPI for the whole range of n-

alkanes series, low carbon n-alkanes, and high carbon n-alkanes were 0.949, 1.026, and 

0.980, respectively. Diagnostic indices and curves indicated that the dominant inputs of 

those n-alkanes were from marine biogenic input such as algae and marine bacteria. The 

concentration profiles of n-alkanes in other areas were characterized by no odd-even 

predominance in the range of C<inf>21</inf>-C<inf>33</inf>with peaks center at 

C<inf>24</inf>which were indicative of anthropic contributions as emission sources. N-

alkanes dominating with anthropic sources comprised a high proportion (83.7%) of total 

n-alkanes. Activities of harbors and ships were the main contributors of Jiaozhou Bay n-

alkanes. Physical processes, such as evaporation and dilution, were the principal 

weathering mechanisms. Because of its sufficient environmental capacity, Jiaozhou Bay was 

still moderately contaminated with petroleum. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the water environment is a carcinogenic organic 

contaminant, which can be converted to hypotoxic compounds by zero-valent iron 

degradation. For the removal of trace NDMA in water, the theory and efficiency of zero-

valent iron degradation should be intensely researched. In this study, the polypropylene 

(PP) fibers were chosen as substrate materials and the composite catalyst fibers 

containing Pd/Fe<sup>0</sup>bimetal were prepared by the UV irradiation-coordination 

method for the removal of trace NDMA. Pd/Fe<sup>0</sup>/PP-g-AA was characterized by 

scanning electron microscope, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, 

and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The NDMA removal by Pd/Fe<sup>0</sup>/PP-g-AA under 

different conditions was investigated. The results indicated that when the acrylic acid 

monomer mass fraction was 20%, the composite catalytic fiber Pd/ Fe<sup>0</sup>/PP-g-AA 

showed a better degradation effect on NDMA. The removal of NDMA followed the pseudo-

first-order reaction kinetics model. The initial NDMA concentration and the pH of the 

solution could not greatly influence the catalytic degradation of trace amounts of NDMA. 

The presence of CO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>significantly 

inhibited the degradation of NDMA. However, the NDMA degradation had been less affected 

by SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and nature organic matter 

(NOM) existing in the solution. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Catalytic behavior of Co-based/zeolites catalysts was investigated in 

NO<inf>x</inf>reduction by CH<inf>4</inf>. Optimization of promoter and support was 

investigated by catalytic tests, and the relationship between catalytic activity and 

catalyst structure was illustrated by catalyst characterization. Co-Fe/SAPO-34 exhibited 

the highest activity among various Co-base/zeolites catalysts. The maximum conversion of 

NO<inf>x</inf>with 52.7% was obtained on Co-Fe/SAPO-34 at 450&#8451;. The inhibition of 

activity of Fe/zeolites became severe in the presence of SO<inf>2</inf>, CO<inf>2</inf>, 

and H<inf>2</inf>O. CO<inf>2</inf>exerted virtually no effect on the SCR activity of Co-

Fe/zeolites. The inhibition of NO<inf>x</inf>conversion by H<inf>2</inf>O was reversible 

for Co-Fe/zeolites catalysts. Cobalt species were mainly present in CoO and Co(OH)

Fe<sup>2+</sup>/Fe<sup>3+</sup>were important for the activity of Co-Fe/zeolites in 

CH<inf>4</inf>-SCR. CH<inf>4</inf>-SCR over Co-Fe/zeolite catalysts started with the 

adsorption of NO and CH<inf>4</inf>on Br&empty;nsted acid sites of the zeolite to produce 

NO<sup>+</sup>and carbon-containing species (-C=O and -COO) in the presence of oxygen, 

respectively. Subsequently, the important intermediates of nitrate species were generated 

from NO<sup>+</sup>at the active sites. Finally, nitrate species reacted with carbon-

containing species to form N<inf>2</inf>and CO<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), a highly toxic and refractory organic compound, 

was commonly used in pesticide production and thus widely distributed in water and soil. 

Goethite, magnetite and gypsum were added into the anaerobic system which simulated the 

natural anaerobic process to evaluate their effects on the anaerobic degradation of 2,4-

DCP. It indicated that goethite, magnetite and gypsum had no appreciable adsorption 

ability toward 2,4-DCP under anaerobic condition. Mass balance analysis showed that only 

the transformation of 2,4-DCP to 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) occurred in all experimental 

groups. The addition of sodium acetate doubled the reductive dechlorination rate of 2,4-

DCP in comparison with the groups without exogenous carbon source. The reductive 

dechlorination rate of 2,4-DCP was enhanced by the addition of goethite and magnetite, 

which was caused by the improved metabolic activity of dechlorination bacteria that 

played an important role in the anaerobic degradation of 2,4-DCP. Gypsum greatly 

inhibited or even stopped the degradation process of 2,4-DCP through restraining the 

growth and activity of dechlorination bacteria. This study will shed light on the 

migration and degradation of refractory chlorinated organic contaminants in anaerobic 

sedimentary environment, and the treatment of such matters in environmental technology.

Abstract:Samples of PM<inf>2.5</inf>were collected from 5 sites in Quanzhou in March, 

April and July, 2014. The concentrations of lanthanoid and other trace metals in the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). 

The total lanthanoid concentration (&sum;Loid), the ratio of light-lanthanoid (L Loid, 

including, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu) to heavy-lanthanoid (H Loid, including Gd, Tb, Dy, 

Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu) in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were 2.490-5.708 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>

(65.682-126.529 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) and 12.086-14.319, respectively. The 

distribution pattern of Loid in PM<inf>2.5</inf>was also evaluated in this study. All 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples showed similar distribution pattern with local topsoil. And 

positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies were observed in PM<inf>2.5</inf>. La-Ce-V plots 

and chemical mass balance (CMB) model were used for source identification and 

apportionment of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in Quanzhou. The CMB model was used to identify four 

main sources: urban fugitive dust, coal combustion, vehicle exhaust and waste 

incineration emission which had a contribution of 18.9%, 10.9%, 30.6% and 30.2%, 

respectively. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A novel composite material MgO-biochar (MgO-BC) with the peanut shells as the 

precursors was successfully fabricated by loading magnesium oxide (MgO) on the surface of 

biochar (BC) at high temperature and in oxygen-limited atmosphere. The adsorption 

characteristics of the resultant adsorbent toward phosphate from aqueous solution were 

investigated by evaluating the influences of pH, contact time and coexisting ions. The 

results showed that the best phosphate adsorption onto MgO-BC happened in the pH range of 

7-9, and strong acidic or basic media was unfavorable to the phosphate adsorption. 

Phosphate adsorption process could reach equilibrium within 540 min, and the kinetics 

curve could be well fitted by both pseudo-first and pseudo-second models. The related 

coefficients were 97.3% and 99.0%. MgO-BC exhibited highly selective capacity toward 

phosphate in the presence of competing Cl<sup>-</sup>, HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>at 10 times higher concentration than the phosphate 

concentration. In addition, phosphate adsorption onto MgO-BC could be described 

satisfactorily by Langmuir model with a fitting coefficient of higher than 99%, and the 

maximal adsorption capacity calculated by Langmuir equation was 138.07 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>. The adsorption capacity of phosphate by MgO-BC was much higher than the 

unmodified BC and other biochar-based sorbents. Furthermore, the composite material after 

the adsorption of phosphate could also be used as a fertilizer into the soil. It achieved 

the reuse of the discarded phosphate. All the results validated that MgO-BC has a wide 

application prospect for the phosphate cleanup from the actual wastewater. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The campaign of investigating the chemical compositions and particle size 

distributions of NR-PM<inf>1</inf>(non-refractory PM<inf>1</inf>) was conducted by using 

a High Resolution Time of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) at the 

Shangdianzi (SDZ) regional atmospheric background site (117.07&deg;E, 40.39&deg;N), 

northeast of Beijing, from October 17th 2015 to January 27th 2016. The results showed 

that organics was the main component of PM<inf>1</inf>, and the proportion of nitrate was 

higher than that of sulfate in autumn and winter. The mean mass-resolved size 

distributions for the main components displayed accumulation mode. The wider organic peak 

shape and larger nitrate peak size indicated that the organics contributed to both small 

and large particles at the beginning of the particle formation, growth and aging 

processes, while most of nitrate particles preferred to grow into large particles during 

the aging process. The ratios of elements between OM and OC, O/C and H/C were calculated 

as 1.91, 0.58 and 1.58 respectively. The slope of Van Krevelen diagram of organic 

aerosols during polluted episode was -0.21, whose oxidation state was higher than those 

of other city sites. Nitrate was the major contributor of NR-PM<inf>1</inf>during the 

polluted period, while organics was significantly higher than that during clean period. 

The results of back trajectories analysis demonstrated that the air masses were complex 

during the pollution episode. The northwest wind from central Inner Mongolia and Siberia 

dominated the clean episodes, which was conducive to the spread of pollutants. &copy;

Abstract:The samples in the surroundings of three representative petrochemical industries 

in Northwest China were collected by summa canister/adsorption using activated 

carbon/glass fiber filter, and then they were analyzed for 13 hazardous air pollutants by 

gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/gas chromatograph/high performance liquid 

chromatography. The pollution characteristics and human health risk of hazardous air 

pollutants were discussed. The results showed that 8 hazardous air pollutants existed in 

the surroundings of all petrochemical industries. The detection frequency for 8 hazardous 

air pollutants exceeded 80%. The ranges of the average concentrations of benzene series 

(BTEX), 1,3-butadiene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzo[a]pyrene were 48.01-182.75 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 6.28-7.95 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 5.53-12.62

concentration of benzo[a]pyrene was 1.8-13.4 times higher than the limit of national 

standard level-I, and those of benzene, toluene and xylene were also over their limits of 

standard to different degrees. The non-carcinogenic risks of benzo[a]pyrene and 1,3-

butadiene were beyond acceptable levels around the three petrochemical industries in 

Northwest China. Meanwhile, the non-carcinogenic health impact of benzene was appreciable 

on the exposed population of Lanzhou petrochemical industrial area. The carcinogenic 

risks of benzene, ethylbenzene, styrene, 1,3-butadiene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene and benzo[a]

pyrene were beyond acceptable levels. At the same time, the carcinogenic risks of 

benzene, 1,3-butadiene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene were significantly higher than their 

acceptable ranges recommended by US EPA. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to improve the efficiency of shortcut nitrification by entrapping 

ammonia oxidizing bacteria, the technique of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) enrichment 

culture was studied. The continuous operation method was used to inhibit the growth of 

nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) by free ammonia, at the same time, the NOB was gradually 

washed out of the system through the technology of sludge discharge. Polyvinyl alcohol 

(PVA) was used as the embedding material to immobilize the ammonia oxidizing bacteria 

after enrichment culture. The embedding rate of the reactor was 8%. The ammonia oxidation 

rate was increased by improving ammonia nitrogen loading in the continuous operation 

mode. The results showed that the ammonia oxidation rate (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-

N/VSS) was as high as 2.028 g&middot;(g&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and the nitrite nitrogen 

accumulation rate was stabilized at more than 90%. High-throughput sequencing analysis 

was conducted on the bacterial community composition before and after enrichment culture, 

and the experimental result indicated that the culture diversity of raw sludge was 

larger. Nitrosomonas and Nitrospirae, which have nitrification function, accounted for 

0.24% and 2.7%, respectively. The diversity of the activated sludge decreased 

significantly after the enrichment culture, Nitrosomonas (18%) became the dominant 

bacteria whereas Nitrospira occupied only 0.02%. After he embedding of ammonia oxidizing 

bacteria, the shortcut nitrification was realized rapidly. Finally, the shortcut 

nitrification rate reached 50 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and the nitrite nitrogen 

accumulation was above 90%. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Soil respiration has become the main way of farmland ecosystem carbon emissions. 

Soil respiration and its responses to soil moisture and soil temperature under straw and 

biochar returning were investigated. Combined soil CO<inf>2</inf>fluxes system (ACE-

002/OPZ/SC) with the method of root exclusion, this study conducted a long-term field 

experiment in the national monitor station of soil fertility and fertilizer efficiency of 

purple soils. The total soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration rate and the soil 

hydrothermal factors were measured during the growth period of rape and maize in rape-

maize rotation systems, and the difference between total soil respiration and 

heterotrophic respiration was calculated as the contribution of root respiration to soil 

respiration. There were five treatments including CK (no organic material), CS (straw), 

CSD (straw+microorganism), BC (biochar), CSBC (50% straw+50% biochar), which were 

replicated three times. The results showed that straw and biochar returning significantly 

affected the seasonal variations and the peak of soil respiration. In addition to BC 

treatment, other treatments promoted soil respiration and cumulative emissions of soil 

CO<inf>2</inf>. Soil respiration rate was significantly different under different 

treatments, the changes in soil respiration rates showed a single peak curve under all 

treatments, the seasonal variations in soil respiration rates under rape was 0.12-2.29 

&mu;mol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, displaying an order of 

CS&gt;CSD&gt;CSBC&gt;CK&gt;BC. Soil respiration was pretty complex in maize season, the 

seasonal variation in soil respiration rates under rape was 1.02-15.32 &mu;mol&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, displaying an order of 

CSD&gt;CS&gt;CSBC&gt;CK&gt;BC, the changes in soil respiration rate presented a double 

peak curve under CS and CSD and CSBC treatments and a single peak curve under BC and CK 

treatments. Heterotrophic respiration could explain 86.50%-93.94% of seasonal variations 

in the soil total respiration, and the contribution of root respiration (26.49%-32.86%) 

was significantly lower than CK treatment (53.65%). Straw and biochar returning did not 

change soil temperature and soil moisture. Soil temperature at 5 cm depth had significant 

effects on the change dynamics of soil respiration rates, but soil moisture did not. Soil 

temperature at 5 cm depth could explain 82%-94% of the variations in soil respiration. 

The values of temperature sensitivity coefficient changed from 3.28 to 4.47. Compared 

with CK treatment, Q<inf>10</inf>of CS, CSD and CSBC decreased by 26.62%, 18.12%, 20.58%, 

respectively, while BC increased by 12.53%. There was no synergistic effect between soil 

temperature and soil moisture on soil respiration, the dynamic changes of soil 

respiration rate could be simulated by single factor index function of soil temperature. 

Overall, soil respiration was significantly promoted by returning of straw, straw

+microorganism, straw+biochar, while it was inhibited by returning of biochar. &copy;

Abstract:In order to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of Sb and 

selected heavy metals, and to discriminate their sources and potential ecological risks 

in surface sediments of the Duliujiang river, a total of 62 surface sediment samples were 

collected in this study. Total contents of Sb, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Tl, Zn and 

Fe in these samples were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-

MS) and the inductive plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Principal component 

analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used to deduce the potential sources 

of these elements. Geo-accumulation index (I<inf>geo</inf>), enrichment factor (EF) and 

Hakanson's potential ecological risk index (E<inf>r</inf><sup>i</sup>and RI) were 

calculated to evaluate the pollution degree of heavy metals in sediments. The results 

indicated that the contents of heavy metals in sediments were impacted by human 

activities to different extents, and the Duliujiang River was significantly contaminated 

by Sb. The contents of Sb in sediments reached up to 7080 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and 

gradually decreased from upstream to downstream, while the contents of As, Cd, Co, Cr, 

Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Tl and Zn varied indistinctively. The PCA results showed that the 

cumulative proportion of the first two components accounted for 77.67% of the total 

variables, suggesting that two major sources of Sb and other heavy metals were 

mining/smelting industry and natural sources. The calculated I<inf>geo</inf>and EFs also 

showed that the surface sediments of the Duliujiang River were majorly polluted by Sb, 

followed by As and Co, lightly contaminated with Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb and Tl, and 

uncontaminated with Cr. The ecological hazards (E<inf>r</inf><sup>i</sup>) for each 

metals in a descending order were Sb&gt;Cd&gt;As&gt;Co&gt;Ni&gt;Pb&gt;Cu&gt;Zn&gt;Cr. The 

comprehensive index of potential ecological risks (RI) for heavy metals indicated that 

58.1% of the 62 sediments samples had more than moderate ecological risks, and the sites 

with high RIs were generally located around Sb mining area and the downstream of the 

Baluo River. In addition, the E<inf>r</inf><sup>i</sup>of Sb was a predominant component 

of RI, indicating that the Duliujiang River is an area with extremely high potential 

ecological risk of Sb. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Field investigation on the content of heavy metals in soils and three types of 

widely distributing compositae plants (Artemisia lavandulaefolia, Ageratum conyzoides L., 

Crassocephalum crepidioides) in lead-zinc tailings farmland of Yangshuo, Guangxi Zhuang 

Autonomous Region was carried out, and the differential centrifugation technique and 

sequential chemical extraction method were used to study the subcellular distribution and 

chemical forms of heavy metals in these plants. The results indicated that the soil in 

the tailings farmland was highly contaminated by Cd, Pb and Zn, and their concentrations 

were 37.7, 5.7 and 8.9 times higher than their respective values of national standard for 

soil environment quality (GradeI). The contents of Cd, Pb and Zn in the analyzed plants 

exceeded the normal ranges. Ageratum conyzoides L. and Crassocephalum crepidioides showed 

strong capability in tolerance, accumulation and transport of Cd, and they could be used 

as pioneer plants for Cd-phytoremediation in study area and some related areas. In 

addition, Cd concentrations in the stem and leave of Crassocephalum crepidioides were 

159.6 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 219.5 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, which 

exceeded the threshold of Cd hyperaccumulator. Thus, Crassocephalum crepidioides can be 

regarded as a Cd-hyperaccumulator. Majority of total Cd, Pb and Zn were found in soluble 

fraction and cell wall in the plants, while only a small quantity were distributed in 

organelles. As for chemical forms distribution, Cd, Zn and Pb predominated NaCl-, HAC-, 

and HCl-extractable forms both in roots and shoots of the plants. Therefore, cell wall 

binding, vacuolar compartmentalization and distribution mainly in lower active chemical 

forms were supposed to be the main mechanisms for tolerance to heavy metals in the study 

plants. A difference of Cd subcellular distribution and its chemical forms in the three 

Compositae plants was observed. Compared with the shoot of Artemisia lavandulaefolia, 

more Cd was located in the vacuolus and cellular soluble parts in Ageratum conyzoides L. 

and Crassocephalum crepidioides. Moreover, the proportion of active chemical Cd in the 

shoots was lower than that in the roots. These results showed that the subcellular 

distribution and chemical forms of Cd were related to the plant species, and also 

indicated Ageratum conyzoides L. and Crassocephalum crepidioides were likely to possess a 

higher tolerance and accumulation of Cd. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This work compared the collection 6 MODIS aerosol optical depth products with 

sun photometer data from AERONET, and evaluated the applicability of C6 merged data in 

the northwest of China. The spatio-temporal variation characteristics and influencing 

factors of AOD over northwest of China were analyzed by MODIS/AQUA C6 MYD08-M3 products 

from 2006 to 2015, and the results showed that Southern Xinjiang and Guanzhong region of 

Shanxi province had relatively high AOD, whereas the south of Qinghai and Gansu province 

had low values; Junggar Basin was the incremental area of AOD for the first 5 years and 

second 5 years, whereas converse result existed in Qaidam Basin and Hetao area. 

Temporally, the yearly mean AOD ranged from 0.18 to 0.22, and the declined trend occurred 

in 2011, and the annual decrease rate was about 0.32%; Because of different intensity and 

frequency of dust weather, the south of Xinjiang showed a significant interannual 

variation characteristic; East of the northwest displayed an obviously declining trend 

from 2011 to 2015, and the yearly mean decrease was about 1.1%. The AOD in north of 

Xinjiang and Qinghai-Tibet remained stable. The seasonal changes of AOD among different 

areas over the northwest had the same trend, all gradually declined from spring to 

autumn, and increased in winter. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The rapid economy growth led to the environmental carrying capacity reaching the 

maximum level. Given that the time changing trend of heavy metal pollution in the remote 

forest ecosystems has rarely been reported, we reported the differences of Pb, Hg, Cd, 

As, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn and bioaccumulation in twigs and leaves of fir (Abies fabri) between 

samples collected in 1999 and 2014 at the Mt. Gongga, which was located at eastern Tibet 

Plateau. Our results suggested that the concentrations of Pb, Hg, As, Cd, Mn and Cu in 

the samples collected in 1999 were significantly higher than those collected in 2014, 

while the concentrations of Cr, Zn and Ba in samples collected in 2014 were higher than 

those collected in 1999. The correlation analysis indicated that concentrations of Pb, 

Hg, Cr, As, Cd, Mn, Cu, Zn and Ba in leaves were positive correlated to the age of the 

leaves. In addition, Hg was apt to enrich in leaves while the other metals were prone to 

enrich in twigs. According to the multiple linear regression result, about 70.6% of Hg in 

leaves and twigs was from air, while the other heavy metals, including Pb, Cr, As, Cd, 

Cu, Zn, and Ba, were mainly from soil (42.3%-92.2%). These results suggest that there may 

be different accumulation mechanisms in forest ecosystems between Hg and the other heavy 

metals. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The ammonium oxidation by potential electron acceptors (NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>, Fe<sup>3+</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>) in ANAMMOX sludge was studied by 

inoculating nitrite-dependent ANAMMOX sludge. The results showed that nitrite was the 

most suitable electron acceptor for ANAMMOX bacteria, which could completely react within 

a short time. Nitrate was converted into nitrite by ANAMMOX sludge using the organic as 

electron donor and then participated in ammonia conversion, in the absence of nitrite. 

Fe<sup>3+</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>conversion occurred at the end of ammonium 

oxidation, but its direct or indirect participation requires further study. Microbial 

activity must be activated through addition of nitrite as electron acceptor before 

ammonia excess oxidation occurred. Aerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite 

oxidizing bacteria grew during this period. This phenomenon did not last, and the 

microbial production of H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was speculated. Although the oxidation 

rate was slow, the phenomenon of ammonium excess oxidation was obvious. Therefore, the 

oxidation of excess ammonia was for sure present in ANAMMOX sludge. The order of electron 

acceptor use by ANAMMOX sludge was NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and Fe<sup>3+</sup>. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:In order to study the main effect of microbial activities on mercury (Hg) 

methylation in farmland, mercury contaminated upland soils and paddy soils near Hg mining 

area were sampled as experimental soils. Four treatments were designed including only 

sterilization as the control, accelerating the activities of sulfate reducing bacteria 

(SRB), inhibiting the SRB's activities, and accelerating the activities of iron-reducing 

bacteria (FeRB), to know the effects of microbial and non-microbial factors on mercury 

methylation in soils. The results were as follows: the highest concentration of 

methylmercury (MeHg) was observed in soils with SRB accelerated treatment, and the 

increments of MeHg concentrations in upland soils and paddy soils ranged from 0.15 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 0.38 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 1 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 2 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. 

Comparatively, little increments of MeHg concentration were seen in soils with SRB 

inhibited treatment and FeRB accelerated treatment, which were lower than 0.025 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Compared with upland soils, more MeHg was formed in Paddy 

soils and the concentrations of MeHg in paddy soils were 4-9 times of that in upland 

soils. Variation in the number of SRB in soils was similar to that in the concentration 

of MeHg in soils, and the number of SRB was positively correlated with the concentration 

of MeHg concentrations in soils (R<sup>2</sup>=0.57, P&lt;0.01). The above results 

indicated that activities of reducing bacteria, especially SRB, played key role in the 

methylation in soils. In addition, more attention should be paid to paddy soils due to 

the high potential of methylation when conducting any assessment and taking any measure 

to manage the health risk caused by the exposure to mercury. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Urban road runoff contains pollutants such as particulate matters, organic 

chemicals, heavy metals, nutrients, oil and grease that can cause significant degradation 

of receiving water quality. Eliminating the pollutant mass loading of road runoff and 

protecting the receiving water bodies have been the focuses in environmental field in 

recent years. To accomplish pollutant reduction and develop a cost-effective treatment 

method, knowledge of water quality characteristics, as well as the pollutant effluent 

characteristics of road runoff is required. In order to investigate the impacts of 

rainfall characteristics and occurrence of pollutant on the variation of pollutant 

concentrations during the duration of runoff events and pollutant load effluent 

characteristics of road runoff, 207 road runoff samples in the durations of 13 storm 

events occurred at Taibai Interchange of the south second-ring road in Xi'an, Shaanxi 

province from July 2014 to September 2015 were collected by the manual time-interval 

sampling method, and concentrations of SS, COD, dissolved COD, Cu, dissolved Cu, Pb, 

dissolved Pb, Cr, dissolved Cr, Cd and dissolved Cd of the samples were determined. The 

results indicated that, the road runoff of Xi'an city was seriously polluted by SS and 

COD, which were the main contaminants in road runoff. Meanwhile, concentrations of Pb and 

Cr in road runoff were also at a high level. The variation of pollutant concentrations 

during the duration of runoff was closely related to rainfall characteristics and 

occurrence states of the pollutants. Emission of the dissolved pollutants was not 

affected by the type of rainfall. The concentration of the dissolved pollutants in the 

runoff reached a peak in the initial duration of runoff, and then, decreased 

continuously. However, the peak concentration of particulate pollutants in the runoff 

only occurred after the peak of sufficiently large rainfall intensity. The concentration 

of particulate pollutants in the runoff fluctuated sharply with the variation of rainfall 

intensity, and impacted by the rainfall duration and rainfall depth as well. Rainfall 

characteristics didn't have a great impact on the load emission of the dissolved 

pollutants, therefore, had a significant influence on the load emission of the 

particulate pollutants. Compared with the rainfall type III, first flush effects of 

pollutant loads of SS, COD, Cu, Pb, Cr, Cd in rainfall type I and type I were more 

obvious. Besides, first flush effect of pollutant loads was not ubiquitous. All the 

pollutants in the monitoring 13 runoff events didn't exhibit an obvious first flush 

effect. The descending order of the first flush effect of those pollutants was COD, SS, 

dissolved COD, Cu, Pb, Cr, dissolved Cu, Cd, dissolved Pb, dissolved Cr, dissolved Cd.

results revealed that the mass fraction of combustible rural garbage components in wet 

basis followed the order of kitchen residual (13%-53%)&gt;the rubber (10%-18%)&gt;the 

paper (10%-15%)&gt;the wood (0-10%)&gt;the fabric(0-8%). The compositional difference of 

rural garbage was not apparent between villages and towns within the same administrative 

region. The average moisture content of full component in southern rural garbage was 

higher than that in northern area, and the average moisture content of national rural 

garbage was about 40.1%. The low heating value of rural garbage in full composition which 

surpassed 3500 kJ&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>was more than 81% in the north China, but in the 

south China, it was 44%, 50%, 61% and 72% in spring, summer, autumn and winter, 

respectively. After sorting, the low heating value increased greatly, but the low heating 

value of southern rural garbage in spring was still less than 3500 kJ&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>, more than 56% towns and villages of southern rural garbage in summer, autumn and 

winter and annual northern rural garbage heating value met the heating value requirement 

of incineration disposal. Therefore, after sorting, the rural garbage by incineration 

disposal method was feasible to the north China rural garbage, but the south China rural 

garbage requires strengthened pretreatment process. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The pollution characteristics and light extinction contribution of water-soluble 

ions of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in Hangzhou were investigated by sampling and laboratory analysis 

of aerosol samplers in 2013. The water-soluble ions were dominant in PM<inf>2.5</inf>and 

the total mass concentration was 37.5 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, accounting for 44.4% 

of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass concentration. Water-soluble ions were mainly composed of 

secondary ions (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>), which accounted for 83.4% of total ions. The highest mass 

concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and major ions were observed in winter and the lowest 

in summer. The proportions of water-soluble ions in PM<inf>2.5</inf>in summer and autumn 

were obviously higher than those in winter and spring and proportions of secondary ions 

in water-soluble ions were very close in each season. The contribution was the greatest 

to PM<inf>2.5</inf>from secondary ions generation caused by fuel combustion and 

automobile exhaust. The annual average values of SOR and NOR were 0.27 and 0.15 

respectively, the conversion rate of SO<inf>2</inf>in atmosphere was greater than that of 

NO<inf>x</inf>. There was obvious positive correlation between SOR or NOR and humidity 

which indicated the important contribution of heterogeneous oxidation process to the 

generation of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>. The annual 

average of [NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>]/[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>] was 0.63, and the 

aerosol pollution was primarily affected by emissions from coal burning. In haze days, 

with the increase of haze pollution level, the mass concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, 

water-soluble ions, secondary ions as well as SOR and NOR all increased gradually, and 

the stable weather condition in haze days could efficiently promote the accumulation and 

secondary conversion of pollutants. There were obvious positive correlations between mass 

concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and SNA and the atmospheric light extinction 

coefficient. The IMPROVE formula which was used to calculate the light extinction 

coefficients of different chemical components could efficiently indicate the tendency of 

aerosol scattering. The extinction contribution of SNA could reach 60.8%. The extinction 

coefficient of SNA was the highest in winter and lowest in summer, and its value and 

contribution proportion both increased gradually as the haze pollution level rose. &copy;

Abstract:Based on the best modification ration of adsorption of phenol on montmorillonite 

modified by a mixture of amphoteric modifier, dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12), and 

cationic modifier, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB), an experiment was 

designed to prepare two series of amphoteric-cationic modified soils by two yellow brown 

soils with montmorillonite contents of 43% and 6%, respectively. The adsorption 

properties of phenol were studied, and the adsorption influence at different temperature, 

pH and ionic strength was also analyzed and moreover, the adsorption differences between 

co-modified montmorillonite and yellow brown soils and between two co-modified yellow 

brown soils were discussed by comparing with co-modified montmorillonite. The results 

showed that adsorption of yellow brown soils as well as co-modified montmorillonite on 

phenol increased with combined modification, adsorption capacity was in order of 215BS

+215CT(215%BS-12+215%CTMAB)&gt;215CT(215%CTMAB) &gt;215BS(215%BS-12)&gt;CK1 (unmodified 

soil containing montmorillonite content of 43%), 33BS+33CT(33%BS-12+33%CTMAB)&gt;33CT

(33%CTMAB) &gt;33BS(33%BS-12)&gt;CK2 (unmodified soil with montmorillonite content of 6%) 

at 30&#8451;. Henry model described the adsorption of phenol very well. The phenol 

adsorption of modified yellow brown soils decreased with increasing temperature and pH, 

but increased with increasing ionic strength at low concentration ranges as well as 

modified montmorillonite. The basic reason for adsorption difference between co-modified 

montmorillonite and yellow brown soils and between two co-modified yellow brown soils was 

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The inhibition of sedimentary phosphorus (P) was investigated under the 

CaO<inf>2</inf>with 3 addition ways. The overlying water and sediments came from a 

black-odor channel in S City. The results showed that the value of pH and DO in the 

overlying water increased under the 3 addition ways of CaO<inf>2</inf>. Under the 

condition of injection, the DO concentration of the overlying water was lower than that 

of the covering condition, which indicated that the injection could delay the oxidation 

of CaO<inf>2</inf>and be favor of creating the micro-oxidation environment in the 

sediment. The concentrations and the trend of TP and DIP in the overlying water were 

similar under the injection and covering, which were lower than that in the mixing 

condition. However, under the covering condition, the DIP concentration in the pore water 

was the highest, reaching up to 120.33-142.18 times, compared with the injection 

condition. Noticeably, the DIP in the pore water and the overlying water was lower, 

indicating that the addition of CaO<inf>2</inf>could inhibit the release of sedimentary 

P. This was attributed to the micro-oxidation environment. The sedimentary P fractions 

also confirmed this. The explanation may be that the addition of 

CaO<inf>2</inf>accelerated the mineralization of organophosphate and the formation of 

Fe-Al/P and Ca-P, which enhanced the retention of sedimentary P. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and straw is more efficient in avoiding 

the accumulation of volatile fatty acids and promoting the degradation of lignocellulose 

in comparison with their individual digestions. The co-digestion of food waste and straw 

was investigated under mesophilic (35&#8451;) and thermophilic (55&#8451;) condition, 

respectively. The results indicated that when feeding volatile solid concentration was 3 

kg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the accumulated methane production yield of the mesophilic 

reactor reached the peak of 272.0 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at a food waste-to-straw ratio 

of 9:1, while it reached the peak of 402.3 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at a food waste-to-

straw ratio of 5:5 for thermophilic reactor. These amounts were significantly higher than 

those of food waste digestion alone (218.6 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>for mesophilic reactor 

and 322.0 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>for thermophilic reactor). Co-digestion promoted the 

rate of carbon transfer to methane, and further, the rate of the thermophilic reactor was 

higher than that of the mesophilic reactor. Degradation rate for lignocellulose of 

thermophilic reactor was 34.7%-45.8%, higher than that of mesophilic reactor, 12.6%-

42.2%. It was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacteria and archaea, ITS sequences 

of fungi based on high-throughput sequencing techniques, which showed the amounts of 

lignocellulose degrading bacteria and actinomycetes in the thermophilic reactor were both 

higher than those in the mesophilic reactor. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to research the coordination relation between sepiolite application and 

the contents of available lead (Pb) and cadmium(Cd) in soil or rice absorption and 

redistribution of Pb and Cd, a pot experiment was conducted by selecting the soil sampled 

from a area polluted by Pb and Cd combination in Shaoxing City of Zhejiang Province and 

atypical late Japonica Rice Varieties in Zhejiang Province (Jia 33) with lower 

accumulation for Pb, Cd. The results showed that: the contents of available Pb and Cd in 

soil were significantly negatively correlated with the concentration of sepiolite added, 

the correlation coefficients of contents of available Pb and Cd with the concentration of 

sepiolite added were -0.940 respectively and-0.952, which reached the significant level 

(P&lt;0.01). The contents of Pb and Cd in rice roots, stems, leaves and polished rice had 

different reducing rates with the increase of the concentration of sepiolite. In 

addition, with the increase of the concentration of sepiolite added, the enrichment 

coefficients of Pb and Cd in rice roots, stems, leaves and polished rice decreased 

dramatically. At the same time, Pb and Cd absorbed by roots transferred to the stems 

decreasingly, Pb and Cd absorbed by stems transferred to the polished rice decreasingly. 

When the addition of Sepiolite was 9.00 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>soil, the contents of Pb 

and Cd in polished rice of Jia 33 were (0.14&plusmn;0.02) mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 

(0.03&plusmn;0.01) mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>respectively, which were all lower than the 

national limit index (GB 2762-2012). Compared with the control group, the enrichment 

coefficients of Pb in roots, stems and leaves and polished rice decreased by 8.83%, 

29.96%, 49.20%, 79.41% respectively, and the enrichment coefficients of Cd decreased by 

23.08%, 63.22%, 44.00%, 82.35% respectively. In addition, the transportation coefficients 

of Pb and Cd absorbed by roots transfer to the stems were decreased by 23.18% and 52.19% 

respectively and the transportation coefficients of stem rice translocation of Pb and Cd 

absorbed by stems transfer to the polished rice were decreased by 70.83%, 52.00%, 

respectively. This result means the sepiolite had a good resistance control in the 

migration and redistribution of Pb and Cd in soil rice system on the soil polluted by 

lead and cadmium, indicating the combination of rational application of sepiolite and 

rice varieties with lower accumulation for heavy metals can achieve safe agricultural 

utilization of the soil with combined contamination by a relatively higher concentration 

of Pb and Cd. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, vertical changes in bacterial &alpha;-diversity and community 

composition were investigated at four soil depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm) in 

Betula albosinensis Burkill forest of Qinling Mountains by sequencing of the 16S rDNA 

regions using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput technology. The results showed that the 

decreases of OTUs, Chao1 and Shannon were numerical but not significant, and the highest 

values of 1688, 2314 and 8.66 were obtained in 0-10 cm, respectively. At the phylum 

level, Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria were the most dominant bacteria in four soil 

layers. At the genus level, Gp4, Gp6 and Gp16 were the most dominant bacteria. The 

relative abundance of Acidobacteria in 40-60 cm soil depth (62.88%) was higher than those 

in other soil depths. Proteobacteria in 0-10 cm (23.62%) was more abundant than that in 

40-60 cm. The relative abundance of Acidobacteria was significantly correlated with the 

total N, soil organic carbon, C/N, and soil dissolved organic carbon. Soil water content, 

soil organic matter and soil dissolved organic carbon were the key factors affecting soil 

Proteobacteria. RDA sequencing results showed that soil dissolved organic carbon was the 

key factor contributing to the bacteria community abundance. The results demonstrated 

that there are plenty of bacterial distribution in all four soil layers, which provides a 

fundamental basis for vertical soil bacterial community diversity, and possesses very 

important research value in biogeochemical cycling. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Sewage sludge was amended with calcium-based bentonite with addition of no more 

than 10% in dry weight during the 52-day aerobic composting process, the variations of 

temperature, pH, organic carbon, EC, total nitrogen, nitrate (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N) and ammonium (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) were investigated, as well as the 

compost detoxification (germination test), heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) passivation and 

estrone (E1) elimination. The results showed that the amendment facilitated the 

thermophilic phase, promoted the compost heat inactivation and brought the organic carbon 

mineral up to more than 15.27%-19.71%. During the composting, the compost pH increased at 

the beginning and then gradually decreased before reaching values of 6.76-7.05, while the 

amendments alleviated the dramatic pH value fluctuation. The bentonite amendment reduced 

the salinity of the compost with final product EC remarkably lower than 1132 

&mu;S&middot;cm<sup>-1</sup>of the control treatment, and the effect was enhanced with 

the increase of addition amount. The total nitrogen content increased with time, and 

there was a remarkable ammonia loss in the beginning stage for the control treatment, 

while the bentonite addition could facilitate the total nitrogen content increase by 

reducing the ammonia loss. With the composting variation, the contents of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N increased and then decreased while the NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N content increased gradually. The bentonite addition had a slight inhibitory 

effect on the plant germination but did not influence the compost maturity and 

detoxification; meanwhile, the amendment improved the heavy metal passivation and reduced 

the E1 content, especially from 90.48 to 28.27 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>with 5% 

treatment during the composting. The study indicated that bentonite addition of lower 

than 5% was acceptable for the sludge compost amendment, which had great potential in 

sludge hygienization, detoxification, heavy metal passivation and E1 elimination. &copy;

Abstract:Digested piggery wastewater (DPW) contains high concentrations of nitrogen and 

phosphorus which could be used as a cost-effective culture medium for Spirulina 

platensis. However, Spirulina platensis would be limited by many factors in the complex 

composition of DPW, especially the high concentration of ammonium. In this paper, a 

traditional sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was used to remove these inhibitors in DPW. 

The retention of nitrate and nitrite in the effluent, which was used as nitrogen source 

for cultivating Spirulina platensis, was studied at different ratios of chemical oxygen 

demand (COD) to total nitrogen (TN) in the influent. By comparing the growth of Spirulina 

platensis in the related effluents, the operation condition of SBR was optimized. The 

lab-scale cultivation results showed that Spirulina platensis possessed a high biomass 

yield of 0.084 g&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the effluent when the COD/TN ratio of 

SBR influent was 3.0. In particular, the concentrations of ammonium, nitrate and nitrite 

in the effluent were 51.2 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 91.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 

213.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Furthermore, the aforementioned effluent 

was also used to culture Spirulina platensis in a 120 L outdoor raceway pond, and the 

growth rate of Spirulina platensis reached (0.075&plusmn;0.003)g&middot;(L&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>after 10-day culture. The protein content of Spirulina platensis was 

approximately 60% and the removal efficiency of ammonium was 99%. This study provides an 

alternative method for the utilization of DPW. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The feasibility of ammoniac waste gas in-situ treatment by partial nitrification 

(PN)-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX) reactor was studied. The PN-ANAMMOX reactor 

was successfuly started up after 60 d operation in conditions of low dissolved oxygen 

control (0.2 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), pH 7.9-8.2 and temperature (30-35&#8451;). The 

total nitrogen removal efficiency reached 88% and the nitrogen removal rate increased 

from 0.05 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.7 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. In the treatment of ammoniac waste gas, the excess 

oxygen in it would lead to massive growth of nitrifying bacteria, when the ammonia 

concentration was lower than 2.59%. The ammonia and oxygen in waste gas met the 

requirement of the reactor for nitrogen removal, when the ammonia concentration stayed 

between 2.59% and 4.2%. Extra air flow was required for reactor oxygen supplement when 

the ammonia concentration was higher than 4.2%. The ammonia removal efficiency reached 

100%, the total nitrogen removal efficiency reached 90.06%, while the total nitrogen 

removal rate was 0.51 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>after 60 day 

operation for ammoniac waste gas purification. It is indicated that the integrated 

reactor based on PN-ANAMMOX process can achieve stable removal of ammonia waste gas.

Abstract:River is characterized by obvious spatial heterogeneity in catchment, which is 

exacerbated by special environment features of calcium-rich, alkaline and DIC-rich 

(dissolved inorganic carbon) in karst river. Thus, it also leads to significant spatial 

variation in the CO<inf>2</inf>degassing across water-air interface. Main ions, 

physicochemical parameters, &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>value and two common 

approaches (floating chamber (FC) and thin boundary layer models (TBL) were used to 

analyze the CO<inf>2</inf>degassing characteristics in Guijiang River, a karst river, 

China. The results were as follows: (1) Hydrochemistry in Guijiang River basin showed a 

significant spatial change. All of HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, specific 

conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), SIc and pCO<inf>2</inf>showed similar 

distribution characteristics in the following order: tributaries in the middle 

reaches&gt;middle reaches&gt;Downstream&gt;Upstream of Guijiang River. (2) During the 

monitoring period, CO<inf>2</inf>degassing occurred in all the sampling sites and it was 

the CO<inf>2</inf>source for the atmosphere. The mean CO<inf>2</inf>evasion was 237 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>in Guijiang River, which located in the 

range of average CO<inf>2</inf>evasion of global river. However, significant spatial 

variations also occurred along Guijiang River. The CO<inf>2</inf>degassing flux in 

tributaries of the middle reaches and middle reaches of the mainstream were obviously 

larger than those in downstream and upstream of the mainstream. (3) 

CO<inf>2</inf>degassing was mainly affected by carbonate equilibrium system in 

tributaries in the middle reaches and middle reaches in the mainstream of the Guijiang 

River basin, which resulted in obviously larger CO<inf>2</inf>degassing than those in 

downstream and upstream of mainstream. However, the CO<inf>2</inf>degassing flux in 

tributaries of the middle reaches was also simultaneously affected by biological 

photosynthesis, and the minimum CO<inf>2</inf>degassing flux [6.38 mg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] appeared in tributaries of the middle reaches. In 

addition, the CO<inf>2</inf>degassing flux in mainstream upstream was mainly affected by 

atmospheric environmental factors, while it was synergetically influenced by many factors 

in mainstream downstream. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:An anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) inoculated with activated sludge 

was employed to investigate the start-up of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) 

process and the spatial distribution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in 

ANAMMOX granules. The results showed that the removal rates of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N reached more than 99%. The removal rate of 

total nitrogen (TN) was 89.87%&plusmn;0.43% and the TN removal load in the ASBR was 1.7 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. The ratios of nitrite consumption and 

nitrate production to ammonium consumption were 1.32&plusmn;0.08 and 0.24&plusmn;0.03, 

respectively. Besides, the pH and the effluent nitrate concentration in bulk liquid were 

considered as two simple indicators for rapid diagnosis of ANAMMOX performance. The 

proteins (PN) was the main component of EPS in ANAMMOX granular sludge. The PN and 

polysaccharides (PS) in ANAMMOX granules were (59.61&plusmn;5.64) mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>and (12.21&plusmn;2.04) mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, with the ratio of 

PN/PS reaching approximately 4.88&plusmn;1.39. &beta;-D-glucofuranose and dead cells were 

distributed in the outermost layer of granules, while living cells, PN, lipids, &alpha;-

glucosamine and &alpha;-mannose were distributed throughout the granules and mainly 

concentrated on the outside of granules. PN and lipids constituted the framework of 

ANAMMOX granules and ANAMMOX bacteria were embedded among the PN and lipids matrix.

Abstract:In situ two-dimension, high-resolution distribution of phosphorus (P), iron 

(Fe), sulfur (S) from the sediment-water interface was investigated in different areas of 

Aha Reservoir, a typical sub-deep water lake, using diffusive gradients in thin films 

(DGT) technique, combining with water chemistry and sedimentary phosphorus speciation 

analysis, aimed to discuss the distribution and control factors of P-Fe-S in sediments. 

DGT-P ranged from 0.00 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 0.43 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. DGT-Fe 

rangd from 0.00 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 2.83 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. DGT-S ranged 

from 0.00 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 0.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. There was no 

significant correlation among the concentrations of P, Fe, S in the sediment pore water 

of Aha Reservoir, which is markedly different from the results of previous studies. We 

hypothesize that the high ratios of Fe/P and Fe/S induced the direct reaction of surplus 

Fe(III) with S<sup>2-</sup>, yielding FeS and/or FeS<inf>2</inf>, while P was firmly 

fixed in sediments by Fe(III). NaOH-SRP(ranging between 192 and 604 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>) and BD-P(ranging between 143 and 524 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) were the two 

major fractions of P in sediments. Since the environment for the bottom layer of water in 

Aha Reservoir is anoxic, the geochemical cycle of Fe and S potentially has a massive 

impact on the activation and migration of sedimentary P. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Nitrosamines such as nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in drinking water have recently 

attracted great attention because of their high carcinogenicity and high detection rate. 

Nitrosamines have also been repeatedly detected in drinking water in our country, leading 

to a lot of concerns about our drinking water safety. However, China has not yet 

formulated the relevant drinking water safety standards. In order to evaluate the health 

risks caused by NDMA in drinking water and to provide recommendations for the development 

of drinking water safety standards, the method of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) 

and the two-stage disease model were used to estimate the health risk of liver cancer 

caused by intake of NDMA in drinking water. The data of this study were collected from 

two large-scale water quality surveys conducted in 35 cities in China from November 2009 

to May 2012, and the detection conducted by Chen Chao, et al. in 23 cities in China from 

2012 to 2014, with a total of 146 water plants data. The results showed that mean (8.97 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and median (2.90 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) NDMA concentrations 

were both not very high except in some special areas. The incidence of life-long cancer 

was 5.69&times;10<sup>-6</sup>and 5.69 times as high as the negligible risk value 

(1&times;10<sup>-6</sup>) specified by the US EPA. The total disease burden of NDMA was 

844.15 person-years, of which the death loss was 818.31 person-years, accounting for 

96.9%. The incapacity loss was 25.84 person-years, accounting for 3.1% in comparison. 

Death loss was greater than the loss of incapacity. The disease burden was highest in the 

age group of 55-60 years (129.40 person-years), followed by 45-50 years (120.44 person-

years). The burden of disease was higher in middle-aged and elderly people. The averaged 

loss was 6.27&times;10<sup>-7</sup>DALYs per person per year in our country. Only 

considering the health risk factors, NDMA concentration safety standards should be 6.12 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. According to the specific national conditions, the NDMA safety 

standard in the range of 6-40 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>was recommended. On one hand, we 

can control the concentration of NDMA in drinking water, to reduce health risks as far as 

possible, and on the other hand, we can also ensure the effectiveness of disinfection of 

drinking water treatments. China's economic and water treatment technological level and 

other factors should also be taken into consideration in the near future. In view of 

potential health risks of NDMA, it's necessary to adopt more effective, economical and 

also environmental water treatment techniques and develop reasonable safety standards to 

ensure the quality of drinking water and people's health. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors during the wastewater regeneration 

processes were separated into hydrophilic fraction (HPI), hydrophobic fraction (HPO) and 

transphilic fraction (TPI) with macroporous resin. DBP precursors in these water samples 

were characterized with fluorescence excitation emission matrix, Fourier transformation 

infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance, and were further tested for their DBP formation 

potential (DBPFP) after chlorination. The results indicated that main DBP precursors in 

sewage were humic acid and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and were mainly dominated by HPI. 

Primary treatment (sedimentation) could effectively remove hydrophobic humic acid through 

the mutual exclusion between HPO and water. The removal of humic acid would lead to the 

obvious reduction of carbonaceous disinfection byproduct formation potential (C-DBPFP). 

In addition, nitrogenous disinfection byproduct formation potential (N-DBPFP) was found 

to be increased due to the increase of DON/DOC value. Although secondary treatment 

(biotreatment) was effective in removing humic acid and aliphatic hydrocarbons, it could 

produce a large amount of soluble microbial products (SMP), which led to the enhancement 

of HPO percentage. And the accumulation of SMP resulted in the significant increase of 

C-DBPFP and N-DBPFP. Humic acid and hydrophobic SMP could be removed by the advanced 

treatment (cloth filtration), leading to the reduction of HPO percentage and the increase 

of HPI percentage. The decrease of humic acid and hydrophobic SMP would cause the 

reduction of C-DBPFP and N-DBPFP in the advanced treatment. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The performance and microbial community profiles in a sequencing batch reactor 

(SBR) treating saline wastewater were studied over 300 days from 0% to 2.0% salinity. The 

effects of crystal violet wastewater and nano-ferroferric oxide on microbial communities 

were also researched. The experimental results indicated that the activated sludge had 

high sensitivity to salinity variations in terms of pollutants removal and sedimentation. 

At 2.0% salinity, the system retained a good performance, and 80% removal rate of COD and 

75% removal rate of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N could be achieved and SVI value was less 

than 35 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>; With the increase of salinity, the microbial diversity 

reduced gradually, the advantageous position of Gram-negative bacteria was gradually 

replaced by fungi and actinomycetes, whereas Gram-positive bacteria strains remained the 

advantageous group; In the comparison of activated sludge added with crystal violet dye 

with the activated sludge samples with a salinity of 2%, it was found that the contents 

of Parvibaculum and Winogradskyella were higher while the contents of Rhodanobacter and 

Agrobacterium decreased. In the comparison of crystal violet-activated sludge with and 

without addition of MNPs, it was found that the contents of Acidocella and Rhodanobacter 

were higher while the contents of Parvibaculum and Agrobacterium decreased. &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Size-segregated atmospheric aerosol samples were collected from September 2015 

to February 2016 at a coastal site in Qingdao, and the concentrations of major water-

soluble inorganic ions were analyzed by ion chromatography. Characteristics and variation 

of size distribution of secondary inorganic components in aerosol were discussed, as well 

as the formation process and influencing factors of SNA (sulfate, nitrate and ammonium). 

The results indicated that the concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>in the aerosols were in the range of 10.32-193.46, 4.42-74.05, 2.21-57.75, 

0.05-2.22 and 1.35-17.39 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>respectively. And the mass 

concentration of SNA increased with the intensity of haze pollution. The concentrations 

of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>on the slight, mild, moderate and severe haze days were 55%, 

77%, 240% and 537% higher than that on non-haze days respectively, while concentrations 

of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>increased by 4.7%, 35%, 77% and 262% respectively, and 

concentrations of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>increased by 72%, 83%, 201% and 526% 

respectively. The contribution of these water-soluble ions to PM<inf>2.5</inf>showed that 

the proportion of sum of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>and Cl<sup>-</sup>to 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>was in range of 62.03%-80.93%. The proportion of ion to 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>decreased in the order of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>&gt;SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>&gt;NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>&gt;Cl<sup>-

</sup>&gt;NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>. With the enhancement of haze pollution, the 

proportion of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in PM<inf>2.5</inf>increased from 29.53% to 

45.54%. The correlation analysis showed that NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>in the fine particle were significantly correlated with 

gaseous precursors NO<inf>2</inf>and SO<inf>2</inf>, and also showed good correlations 

with relative humidity, visibility, wind speed and other weather conditions. These 

results indicated that the formation of SNA in fine particles was one of the main reasons 

for visibility decrease and the formation of air pollution in haze days. Meanwhile, high 

concentration of gaseous precursors, high relative humidity and low wind speed were the 

important influencing factors of haze formation. Except for slight haze days, SOR and NOR 

in the haze days were higher than those on the non-haze days, and increased significantly 

with the intensifying of haze, especially for 0.43-0.65 and 0.65-1.1 &mu;m particle size. 

Conversion rates of nitrogen and sulfur in severe haze days were 1.5 times that in non-

haze days, which showed nitrate and sulfate in these fine mode were mainly from gas-to-

particle conversion. NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>increased in haze significantly, 

which mainly existed in the fine particles. The cloud process played a more important 

role on haze days. While on non-haze day, cloud process and the heterogeneous reaction 

were both the main factors. And the highest proportion of fine mode concentration to 

total one was observed for NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>(79.4%) and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>(74.4%) on severe haze days respectively. NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>showed a 

bimodal distribution with peaks in the size-bin of 0.43~0.65 &mu;m and 3.3-4.7 &mu;m on 

non-haze, slight, mild haze days, and the fine peak moved to 0.65-1.1 &mu;m on moderate 

haze days, however the bimodal distribution changed to unimodal distribution with peak at 

0.65-1.1 &mu;m on severe hazy days. SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>showed a bimodal 

distribution with peaks at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m and 2.1-3.3 &mu;m in the non-haze weather, 

while the size distribution changed to unimodal distribution on hazy days. But the peak 

sizes were different in different intensity of haze, with peak at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m on mild 

and slight haze and 0.65-1.1 &mu;m in moderate and severe haze days. NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>showed a single peak distribution in the fine mode, with the peak in the particle 

size of 0.43-0.65 &mu;m on slight and non-hazy days, and 0.65-1.1 &mu;m on mild, moderate 

and severe hazy days. Therefore, haze has a great influence on the size distribution of 

SNA. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the purifying effect of combined floating bed constucted by 

salinity plant Suaeda salsa and microorganisms on the slightly salt-alkaline water, blank 

floating bed A, S. salsa floating bed B, microbes floating bed C and S. salsa

+microorganisms combined floating bed D were established, and slightly salt-alkaline 

eutrophic water body (pH 8.5-9.0, salinity 5&permil;-7&permil;) was purified under 

continuous flow conditions in the laboratory. Results showed that the removal rates of 

total nitrogen, total phosphorus, permanganate index by S. salsa floating bed were 32.5%, 

14.3% and 28.2%, respectively. And the removal rates of total nitrogen, total phosphorus 

and permanganate index by S. salsa+microorganisms combined floating bed D which installed 

artificial medium with microorganisms reached 70.5%, 34.7% and 70.8%, respectively, of 

which the removal rates of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and permanganate index by 

microbial units were 37.7%, 21.6% and 44.5%, respectively. Synergies removal rates of 

nitrate nitrogen and total nitrogen by S. salsa + microorganisms combined floating bed 

were 12.2% and 0.3%, but there was no synergy in the process of removing ammonia 

nitrogen, total phosphorus and permanganate index, which indicated that the synergies of 

S. salsa and microorganisms in the combined floating bed were suppressed in slightly 

salt-alkaline environment. The high-throughput sequencing technique was adopted to 

analyze the microbial community in the floating bed C and D, which indicated that the 

abundance and diversity of microbial community in the combined floating bed were higher, 

and this was consistent with the result of the higher removal rate of the flotation bed 

D. Principal component analysis showed that the microbial degradation was a major factor 

in reducing the concentration of pollutants. This study provided a guide for the using of 

floating bed in purifying slightly salt-alkaline eutrophic water bodies in coastal area.

Abstract:Based on the urban activity data and emission factors, agricultural ammonia 

emission inventory was developed for Sichuan province from year 2005 to 2014. Meanwhile, 

its historical trends, spatial distribution and the relationship between agricultural 

ammonia emission and PM<inf>10</inf>concentration were analyzed. The results showed that 

the highest emission was estimated to be 111.9&times;10<sup>4</sup>t in 2006, which was 

reduced to 95.5&times;10<sup>4</sup>t in 2014. The interannual variation characteristics 

were different for 21 cities in Sichuan, the annual emission of Chengdu, Meishan, Zigong, 

Luzhou, Yibin, Panzhihua, Aba and Ganzi changed largely in the study period. Livestock 

source and nitrogen fertilizers were the major contributors, accounting for 72%-79% and 

20%-27% of the total agricultural NH<inf>3</inf>emission respectively. Hog, poultry and 

cow were the major contributors under the category of livestock sources for the most 

cities. It's worth mentioning that rabbit was the largest contributor in Zigong, 

accounting for 39% of the total livestock NH<inf>3</inf>emission. The urban and sub-urban 

areas of Chengdu, the northeastern and southern part of Sichuan were the hot-spots for 

agricultural NH<inf>3</inf>emission. In term of spatial distribution, there were higher 

emissions in the east of Sichuan and other suburban and rural areas. There was a good 

agreement between agricultural NH<inf>3</inf>emission and PM<inf>10</inf>concentration, 

indicating agricultural NH<inf>3</inf>emission played an important role in the particle 

formation. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To identify the seasonal variation of dicarboxylic acids and related compounds 

in PM<inf>10</inf>from Mt. Huangshan. PM<inf>10</inf>samples were collected during the 

summer and winter of 2015, which were then analyzed for dicarboxylic acids, 

ketocarboxylic acids, and &alpha;-dicarbonyls. The results showed that oxalic acid 

(HOOC-COOH, C<inf>2</inf>) was the dominant species in the summer and winter months, 

followed by malonic acid (HOOC-CH<inf>2</inf>-COOH, C<inf>3</inf>), and succinic acid 

[HOOC-(CH<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2</inf>-COOH, C<inf>4</inf>], being consistent with that in 

other high-altitude regions. Most of the diacids were more abundant in the summer months 

than in the winter months, while adipic acid (C<inf>6</inf>) and phahalic acid (Ph) were 

twice lower in the summer months, suggesting significant impact of anthropogenic 

pollution on the wintertime alpine atmosphere. Moreover, as major precursors of 

C<inf>2</inf>, glyoxal (Gly) and methylglyoxal (mGly) were also lower in the summer 

months than in the winter months, which were opposite to those of the diacids, indicating 

that the mountain troposphere was more oxidative in the summer months than in the winter 

months. Principal component analysis (PCA) further revealed that the wintertime SOA in 

the Mt. Huangshan troposphere mostly originated from the anthropogenic pollutants from 

long-distance transport. Conversely, the summertime SOA mostly originated from the 

further oxidation of the mountainous biogenic sources. The AIM (Aerosol Inorganic Model) 

calculation results showed that the aqueous-phase C<inf>2</inf>production was the primary 

mechanism of C<inf>2</inf>formation in ambient aerosol and was driven by acid-catalyzed 

oxidation in summer. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

K<sup>+</sup>addition was studied. The results showed that K<sup>+</sup>addition could 

strengthen nitrogen removal performance. The effect of K<sup>+</sup>on ANAMMOX process 

was mainly divided into four stages. In the adaptive phase (0-2 mmol&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>), sudden addition of K<sup>+</sup>destroyed the original equilibrium reaction, 

but ultimately ANAMMOX bacteria could adapt to the presence of K<sup>+</sup>. Because 

K<sup>+</sup>had no obvious effects on anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, the removal 

rates of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N slightly 

increased. In the ascension phase (2-8 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), K<sup>+</sup>played a 

role in promoting anaerobic ammonia oxidation biological systems, with increasing 

concentration of K<sup>+</sup>, the removal rates of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N significantly increased. In the stabilization phase (8-20 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), the nitrogen removal rate decreased, but was still higher 

than the control without K<sup>+</sup>addition. In the inhibition phase (more than 20 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), K<sup>+</sup>largely inhibited anaerobic ammonia oxidation, 

and its denitrification efficiency was lower than 0 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. In the 

whole cycle, when the concentration of K<sup>+</sup>was 8 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, it 

achieved the best effect, the average removal rates of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were 89.24% and 84.87%, and NRR was 1.113 kg&middot;

Abstract:In a sloping farmland plot (1500 m<sup>2</sup>) of purple soil with underlying 

fractured mudrock in Southwest China, field monitoring and sampling campaigns were 

undertaken to explore the mechanisms of surface and subsurface transport of nitrogen and 

phosphorus upon two representative rain events in the summer of 2015. The results 

indicated that: (1) depths of surface runoff and subsurface fracture flow as well as 

average colloid export flux were dependent on antecedent soil wetness and rainfall 

amount, while discharge dynamics and colloid peak concentration were determined by 

rainfall intensity; (2) nitrogen export was mainly in dissolved forms through subsurface 

fracture flow, however, phosphorus was mainly transported in particle-associated forms 

through surface runoff; (3) the transport of nitrogen and phosphorus was strongly 

influenced by hydrological processes, with nitrogen and phosphorus transport being 

controlled by fracture flow and surface runoff, respectively. Our findings contribute 

significantly to the knowledge of nitrogen and phosphorus export from sloping farmland 

with thin soil underlain by fractured rock upon rainfall, and on the other hand this 

study provides reliable field data in support of developing effective approaches for 

controlling agricultural non-point source pollution of N and P and identifying key 

hydrological processes to be manipulated. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on site investigation of non-road vehicles in Shanghai and Hangzhou 

located in east China, non-road vehicle emission inventory in 2014 was established in 

these cities as well as its emission inventory technology. Characteristics of non-road 

vehicle were also analyzed, including classification, type of fuel, power and emission 

standard. The results showed that diesel consumed by non-road vehicles was 

6.1&times;10<sup>5</sup>t in Shanghai and 3.2&times;10<sup>5</sup>t in Hangzhou; 

NO<inf>x</inf>emission was 3.09&times;10<sup>4</sup>t in Shanghai and 

1.72&times;10<sup>4</sup>t in Hangzhou; PM<inf>2.5</inf>emission was 

1.41&times;10<sup>3</sup>t in Shanghai and 8.1&times;10<sup>2</sup>t in Hangzhou, 2014. 

Emissions from excavators and other construction equipment contributed the most in non-

road vehicle emission inventory. Non-road vehicle has become one of the important sources 

of urban air pollution, whose NO<inf>x</inf>emissions accounted for 11.1% of all urban 

sources in Shanghai and 16.1% in Hangzhou, and accounted for 18.5% of mobile sources in 

Shanghai and 32.2% in Hangzhou. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A continuous measurement was conducted in Yixing city urban area from 24th 

August to 15th September using TH-300B continuous online GC-MS instrument during G20 

summit in Hangzhou, 2016. The VOCs average mass concentrations of alkane, alkene, 

aromatic, acetylene, haloalkane hydrocarbons, OVOC and acetonitrile were 

11.00&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 1.93&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 5.78&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 

1.23&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 4.16&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 10.37&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 

0.27&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, respectively. The photochemical reaction activity was 

calculated by using the maximum potential coefficient of Ozone Formation Potential. 

Alkene and aromatic hydrocarbons were the most active components of OFP. By applying the 

positive matrix factorization (PMF) model, five major factors were extracted to identify 

the sources of NMHCs in Yixing city, including industry (42.2%), vehicle exhaust (17.9%), 

fuel evaporation (20.8%), paint/solvent usage (7.0%) and plant (12.1%). Combined with the 

conditional probability function (CPF) analysis, source of anthropogenic pollution was 

related to the distribution of industrial enterprises in the northwest and southeast, 

while the plant source was related to the forest hilly region of Southwest Yixing city. 

The effect of air pollutant emission reduction showed that the primary emission air 

pollutants had declined significantly during the strict control period from 1th to 6th 

September in G20 summit, 2016, and the industry proportion was reduced to 30.5%, whereas 

the plant proportion increased to 16.8%. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, the short-term effect of roxithromycin (ROX) on the abundance and 

diversity of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) based 

on amoA gene in activated sludge were investigated by high-throughput sequencing and 

quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR). High-throughput sequencing overcomes the drawbacks of 

low sequencing depth, significant randomness and great bias of traditional Sanger 

sequencing. This approach can provide enough sequencing depth to comprehensively 

investigate the sensitive and insensitive ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms under ROX 

selective pressure. Lab-scale reactors were operated under ten different ROX levels. The 

results indicated that the environmental (0.3-30 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and medium 

(300 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 3000 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) levels of ROX did 

not affect ammonia oxidation, while the higher concentration (5000-12000 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) of ROX showed a significant negative effect on ammonia 

oxidation. The environmental and medium levels of ROX stimulated the growth of AOA, 

however, the higher level of ROX decreased the abundance of AOA. In addition, different 

levels of ROX (except 0.3 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) caused the decrease of the 

abundance of AOB, which suggested that AOA was less sensitive than AOB under ROX 

selective pressure. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that ROX selective 

pressure caused the decrease of the numbers of OTUs for AOA and increase of that for AOB. 

The insensitive AOA, accounting for 57.70%-97.81% of the total sequences, were Candidatus 

Nitrososphaera gargensis and Candidatus Nitrosoarchaeum koreensis. The insensitive AOB 

were Nitrosomonas oligotropha, Nitrosospira multiformis, Nitrosomonas watsonii and 

Nitrosomonas halophilus, accounting for 0.76%-5.10% of the total sequences. These results 

also indicated that AOA was insensitive to ROX, but AOB was sensitive to ROX. RDA 

analyses showed that AOA Ca. Nitrososphaera gargensis, Ca. Nitrosoarchaeum koreensis and 

AOB N. oligotropha, N. watsonii, N. halophilus were positively correlated with ROX 

concentrations. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The 47 samples from Erhai Lake surface sediments were collected in different 

seasons. The distribution and structure characteristics of sediment water extractable 

organic nitrogen (WEON) were investigated by using the combined techniques of UV-Vis 

absorption and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix spectra (3DEEMs). The 

differences in DON of various sources (overlying water, pore water, inflow Rivers and wet 

deposition) were explored to analyze its effects on sediment. The results showed that: 

(1) the temporal distribution followed the pattern of 

summer&gt;spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter, with the spatial WEON distribution of 

northern&gt;southern&gt;central. (2) The humic degree of Erhai sediment WEON was 

relatively high and mostly composed of fulvic acid, which mainly contained UV-like 

humic-like fluorescence peak A and high-excited tryptophan fluorescence peak B. This 

indicated that it was mainly affected by terrestrial input and microbial activity. (3) 

There were two fluorescent components (C1, C2) in the sediments and other sources of 

Erhai Lake. The component C1 was the endogenous visible ultraviolet peak formed by 

biodegradation, while the component C2 was the tryptophan peak. The bioavailability of 

wet deposition samples was comparatively high, greatly impacting Erhai Lake in heavy 

rainfall. The DON bioavailability in the inflow river was the lowest, which was prone to 

be accumulated in sediments. (4) The DON component C1 and C2 in overlying water had 

significant negative correlation with Erhai sediment WEON contents (r=-0.79, P&lt;0.01; 

r=-0.944, P&lt;0.01). This suggested that the overlying water DON components could 

indirectly reflect the sediment WEON content of Erhai Lake, namely the higher the 

fluorescence components C1 and C2 in overlying water DON were, the lower the sediment 

WEON content was. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Marine aerosols were measured in real-time by an on-board signal particle 

aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS) over the Southeast China Sea. The chemical compositions 

and size distribution characteristics of aerosol particles were obtained, and the sources 

and ion spectra were analyzed. The results showed that particle number concentration 

decreased with the distance apart from the coastal area. In the coastal area, the aerosol 

compositions were mainly determined by the emissions of industry, such as vessel, traffic 

and coal combustion etc. When it was far from the continent, aerosols were mainly 

affected by the sea sources. Aerosol particles during the observation period disturbed 

singly with a peak diameter value of 0.5 &mu;m. Most of the particles were in the size 

range of 0.2 &mu;m to 0.8 &mu;m. High signal intensity of EC with high K<sup>

+</sup>intensity in the positive spectrum and HSO<inf>4</inf><sup>-</sup>intensity in 

negative spectrum was present in the marine aerosol over the coastal area. However, the 

signals of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>were absent in the 

negative spectrum. The signal intensity of EC was weak in the marine aerosol over the sea 

area far from the coastal area. High signal intensity of Na<sup>+</sup>and weak Mg<sup>

+</sup>, Ca<sup>+</sup>and NaCl<sup>+</sup>signals were present in the positive spectrum, 

while high signal intensity of MSA<sup>-</sup>, CN<sup>-</sup>, O<sup>-</sup>and 

HSO<inf>4</inf><sup>-</sup>were present in negative spectrum which was considered to be 

the special ions spectrum of marine biological sources. It indicated that ambient 

aerosols over the observation area were influenced not only by the anthropogenic emission 

sources but also affected by the marine aerosol formation. &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Groundwater contamination risk assessment is an important basis for the 

protection of groundwater resources and the prevention and control of groundwater 

pollution. Its evaluation system is usually composed of three elements, which is 

vulnerability, pollutant source load and groundwater value. The pollutant source load 

plays an important role in risk assessment. Because of the difference among methods for 

pollutant sources load quantification, there will inevitably be different demand for the 

basic information survey on pollutant sources, as well as unknown impact on the final 

assessment results. In order to explore the impact of quantitative methods for pollutant 

sources load on groundwater contamination risk assessment, a case study was conducted in 

the mesoscale region of alluvial fan in Hutuo River, China. The two representative 

methods of grading index and quantitative index assessment systems were applied to 

quantify the pollutant sources load, in combination with the same vulnerability and 

groundwater value. The results constructed from different risk assessment systems were 

compared. The results showed that there were great differences between the two methods of 

quantification for pollutant sources load, and the result of contamination risk 

assessment also revealed significant differences in the feature of risk valve and the 

spatial distribution of the risk levels. The results of contamination risk assessment 

were strongly influenced by the choice of quantification for pollutant sources load 

methods. The grading index method was suitable for large scale region with lower 

precision of basic information and was simple, and the results of assessment had 

relatively lower reliability. The quantitative index method was suitable for the 

mesoscale and micro-scale region with higher precision of basic information and was 

relatively complicated, and the results of assessment had relatively higher reliability. 

It was shown that the scale effect of evaluation region had an important influence on the 

choice of methods. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, the dynamic variation of the structure, functionality and 

biodiversity of indigenous microorganism during the CO<inf>2</inf>-brine-sandstone 

interaction process was investigated using MiSeq sequencing techniques. The results 

indicated that some kinds of indigenous microorganisms could grow well under the extreme 

condition induced by CO<inf>2</inf>-injection. After injection of CO<inf>2</inf>, the 

species of indigenous microorganisms tended to be single and the relative abundance of 

Proteobacteria reached up to 99.77% after 6 months. The dominant species varied as 

follows: Pseudomonas sp., Citrobacter sp. and Brevundimonas sp. Meanwhile, some special 

genera such as Bacillus sp., Hydrogenophaga sp. and Rhizobium sp. with functionality of 

iron-reducing and denitrification were found in this study, which may have a potential 

effect on the capture and storage of CO<inf>2</inf>. In addition, the Shannon index 

decreased from 5.3302 to 1.9465 after injection of CO<inf>2</inf>, suggesting that the 

biodiversity reduced significantly. Function and main metabolites analysis of bacteria in 

the CO<inf>2</inf>-brine-sandstone interaction process showed that bacteria like Bacillus 

sp., Citrobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. could enhance CO<inf>2</inf>solubility-trapping 

process. Bacteria metabolisms could accelerate the dissolution of feldspar and chlorites, 

and facilitate the formation of transition-state calcite and siderite. Otherwise, the 

great variation was mainly attributed to the change of condition driven by 

CO<inf>2</inf>-brine-sandstone interactions, such as pH and the chemical composition of 

brine water (anion and cation), etc. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The experiment was carried out to study the reasonable composition of stable 

anaerobic sludge in the extensive green roof growth substrate by a total of 650 mm 

artificial rainfall event. Combined with the N, P leaching problem of the sludge 

resources utilization, the quality of the effluent and the change of the nutrient content 

of the substrate in the process of application were investigated. The results showed that 

the anaerobic sludge could significantly increase the plant biomass and the average 

weight gain was 808%. Stable anaerobic sludge caused a large amount of leaching of TP and 

water treatment residual could effectively control TP leaching and did not affect the 

absorption of P to the plant. During the experiment, the TP of the effluent was reduced 

by 68.66%. After stabilization, the effluent TP reached the surface water V standard. The 

main form of leached TN was NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and the leaching of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N could be reduced by rice husk charcoal. In the experiment, 

the NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N leaching mass was reduced by 28.86% totally. Increasing 

the amount of rice husk charcoal helped to control NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N leaching. 

SS and COD could be quickly decreased and stabilized. The COD of effluent after 

stabilization was about 30 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which was better than the standard 

of surface water V. Under the condition of actual precipitation with medium and small 

rainfall, the anaerobic sludge nutrient retention time should be more than 1 year, which 

meets the growing needs of plants for a long time. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Microbial community and phosphorus forms in response to simulated climate 

warming were studied by high-throughput sequencing and<sup>31</sup>P nuclear magnetic 

resonance (<sup>31</sup>P-NMR) respectively, which were from wetland soils in constructed 

microcosm columns. The results revealed that relative abundances of Firmicutes, 

Clostridia, Clostridiales, Clostridiaceae and Clostridium were significantly decreased by 

65%-98%, 69%-87%, 67%-87%, 73%-97% and 74%-93% under warming condition respectively, 

suggesting warming had a significant inhibitory effect on the bacterial lineage from 

Firmicutes to Clostridium at different taxonomic level. Particularly, principal 

coordinate analysis and cluster analysis also demonstrated warming had a significant 

effect on microbial community structure with obvious separation of samples between 

control and warmed groups from each wetland column site. Phosphorus forms were dominated 

by phosphomonoester and orthophosphate in each wetland column soil, which were 

significantly increased and decreased by 275% and 20% in XX wetland column soil 

respectively. Similarly, phosphomonoester and polyphosphate were also found to be 

increased and decreased by 85% and 49% in JH wetland column soil respectively, indicating 

that phosphorus forms in response to warming had soil heterogeneity. Canonical 

correspondence analysis showed that obvious changes in microbial community composition 

had significant effects on phosphorus forms under warming condition. &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:This work investigated the occurrence and distribution of six drugs of abuse and 

their metabolites, i.e.methamphetamine (METH), amphetamine (AMP), ketamine (KET), 

ephedrine (EPH), methcathinone (MC) and hydroxylimine (HY) in the surface water and 

groundwater in Beijing, China. Forty-three samples were collected and analyzed by solid-

phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass 

spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS/MS). The result showed that KET, MC and HY were not detected in 

any of the analyzed samples. EPH was the most abundant and ubiquitous compound in the 

surface water, with the detection frequency of 42% and average concentration of 10.1 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, followed by METH (25%, average 1.8 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). 

Only trace amount of AMP was detected in some groundwater samples (n.d. -2.2 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), with detection frequency of 21%. Spatial variation of target 

drug concentrations in the aqueous environment was also studied, and the highest levels 

of METH and EPH were observed in Liangshui River. Risk assessment suggested that the RQ 

values of target compounds were lower than 0.10. Although no toxic effects could be 

expected at the current levels, further studies are needed to assess the long-term effect 

of drugs of abuse and their metabolites on organisms as well as the joint toxic effect.

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected in Xi'an, China during haze (2015-11-30-

2015-12-9) and clean days (2016-01-13-2016-01-22). PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass, organic carbon 

(OC), elemental carbon (EC), and water-soluble ions (i.e., NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>) were measured to investigate 

the characteristics of the two typical pollution processes. The result showed that 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>masses were (170&plusmn;47.5) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 

(48.6&plusmn;17.9) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>for the haze and clean days, respectively, 

with the haze accompanied by low visibility, high humidity, calm wind, and other adverse 

weather conditions. The secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA) including NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>accounted for 

49.8%&plusmn;13.1% and 19.4%&plusmn;5.95% of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass for the haze and 

clean days, respectively. sulfur and nitrogen oxidation ratios (SOR and NOR) on haze days 

were 0.282&plusmn;0.157 and 0.269&plusmn;0.124, respectively, which were much higher than 

those measured on the clean days (0.189&plusmn;0.057 and 0.077&plusmn;0.046). The average 

concentration of secondary organic carbon (SOC) for the haze days (6.22&plusmn;3.87) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>was 5 times of that measured in the clean days 

(1.44&plusmn;1.63) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Secondary pollution and adverse weather 

conditions were the main reasons for the heavy haze. Finally, the level of particulate-

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was measured by the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate 

(2',7'-DCFH) fluorescence method, and the average ROS concentration (as 

H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>) was (4.99&plusmn;1.54) nmol&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during haze 

days and (0.492&plusmn;0.356) nmol&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>during clean days. Accumulation 

effect and secondary oxidation process may be the main reasons for the increase of ROS 

concentration under the heavy haze conditions in Xi'an. Positive correlations (P&lt;0.05) 

between the concentrations of ROS and the ions of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>indicated that ROS may participate in secondary oxidation 

process of SIA. &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The adsorption of PFOS by activated sludge and EPS-removed sludge was conducted 

to investigate the adsorption mechanism of activated sludge and the effect of EPS on this 

adsorption process. The experimental results indicated that the adsorption process of 

PFOS onto activated sludge and EPS-removed sludge fitted the pseudo-second-order model, 

with equilibrium absorption capacities (q<inf>e</inf>) of 0.46 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>and 0.38 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The sorption isotherm accorded 

well with the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. Chemisorption played an important 

role in the adsorption of PFOS on the activated sludge. Ca<sup>2+</sup>and 

Cu<sup>2+</sup>contributed to PFOS adsorption on the activated sludge through an ion-

bridging effect. Adsorption efficiency was better on the normal activated sludge compared 

to the EPS-removed sludge. FTIR and XPS were used to analyze the variations of functional 

groups before and after sorption. The results showed that the amount of functional groups 

such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amidogen on EPS-removed sludge was lower; however, these 

functional groups were found to have participated in the PFOS adsorption process. It is 

concluded that carboxyl and amidogen contained in protein of EPS provided reaction sites 

for PFOS adsorption, thus EPS components played a vital role in PFOS adsorption on the 

activated sludge.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:PM<inf>10</inf>is the main air pollutant in Taiyuan, as the city is a heavy 

industrial center with coal as its main energy source. Therefore, research on the 

prediction of this pollutant's variation and concentration is of great theoretical 

significance for air pollution prevention and emergency solutions. The source of 

PM<inf>10</inf>is very complex, as it is affected by industrial emissions, vehicle 

exhaust, fugitive dust, and many other factors. The emission sources of 

PM<inf>10</inf>are difficult to determine accurately. The goal of our research was to 

give accurate forecasting results efficiently when only time-series 

PM<inf>10</inf>concentrations, and no other exogenous information, is available. A 

support vector machine (SVM) enjoys good generalization performance in the 

PM<inf>10</inf>concentration forecasting area. Traditionally, an SVM chooses historical 

data as the input features in the process of dealing with the time-series data of air 

pollutant concentrations. However, data with simple structure and incomplete information 

have become the fetter of generalization ability improvement. In this study, the data for 

simulation experiments was the PM<inf>10</inf>concentration dataset collected from four 

monitoring stations in Taiyuan. The PM<inf>10</inf>concentration time-series one-

dimension data was decomposed into high dimension, constructed by low frequency and high 

frequency series using a wavelet transform. The wavelet-SVM forecasting model can be 

established by introducing the high-dimension data as the input features. The experiment 

results indicate that, contrasted with the traditional SVM, the wavelet-SVM model boasts 

higher accuracy for PM<inf>10</inf>concentration prediction. In particular, it captures 

the concentration mutational points more accurately and provides information support that 

is more effective for atmospheric pollution warning. In addition, with the wavelet-SVM 

model, prediction accuracy for the concentration variations was significantly improved 

and laws that were more inherent in the PM<inf>10</inf>concentration time series were 

revealed.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To reveal the impact of land use change on the phosphorus uptake in benthic 

sediments of suburban streams, a headwater stream in the urban fringe of Hefei City was 

selected and a set of benthic sediments was collected monthly from the chosen stream 

reach from June to November 2016. An incubation method was applied to explore the biotic 

and abiotic uptake of phosphorus in benthic sediments under intense human disturbance 

scenario. Results showed that the uptake potentials in summer were higher than those in 

autumn, both for total (including biotic and abiotic) and abiotic uptake of phosphorus. 

Furthermore, both of these uptakes were distinctly higher for the third sampling site, 

which is adjacent to the sewage outlet, than those for the other sites. For all six 

sampling sites, the contribution rate of biotic uptake of phosphorus was significantly 

greater than that of abiotic uptake, both in summer and autumn. The monthly variations in 

potentials and contribution rates of phosphorus uptake indicated that intense human 

disturbance via land use change had a great impact on the biotic uptake of phosphorus in 

benthic sediments of the suburban stream.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to understand the feasibility of environmental magnetism methods in 

farmland soil pollution monitoring in the northwest arid areas of China, the 

environmental magnetic properties of 102 farmland soil samples from four typical 

agricultural regions, namely Linze county, Ganzhou district, Minle county, and Shandan 

county in Zhangye City were systematically analyzed. The results show that the main 

magnetic mineral of farmland soil samples is ferrimagnetic magnetite, and the main 

magnetic grain sizes are coarse-grained pseudo single domain (PSD) and multidomain (MD), 

mainly between 0.2-1 &mu;m in equivalent diameter. The low frequency magnetic 

susceptibility (&chi;<inf>lf</inf>) value of farmland soil samples ranged from 

22.27&times;10<sup>-8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 188.36&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, with the average value of 

63.85&times;10<sup>-8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Overall, the magnetic 

mineral content of farmland soil samples was low, but it had large spatial variation. The 

spatial distribution of the magnetic parameters show that the magnetic mineral contents 

in Ganzhou district, Minle county, and Shandan county are higher than in Linze county, 

and three relatively high-value areas are present in central Ganzhou district, the 

southwest side of Minle county, and the west side of Shandan county. High magnetic value 

in central Ganzhou district is mainly controlled by human activities, such as industrial 

production, whereas the high magnetic values in the southwest side of Minle county and 

west side of Shandan county are more related to strong natural pedogenesis. Therefore, 

systematic comprehensive analysis of magnetic parameters can effectively distinguish and 

delimit the man-made pollution range in farmland soil and provide a basis for farmland 

soil pollution prevention and control.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Surface litter respiration is a major component of soil respiration in the 

carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems, and studying the variation in the temperature 

sensitivity of surface litter respiration and its influencing factors is important for 

the accurate understanding of the regional soil carbon cycle. In a typical locust 

plantation (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) ecosystem in a small watershed in Wang Donggou of 

Loess Plateau, China, three surface litter control treatments were established: &#9312; 

control treatment, &#9313; litter removal treatment, and &#9314; doubled litter 

treatment, for studying the interannual variation (2009-2013) in the temperature 

sensitivity of surface litter respiration and its influencing factors. The interannual 

variability in the temperature sensitivity of surface litter respiration was 

statistically significant (P&lt;0.05). It ranged from 4.15 in 2012 to 6.67 in 2010, with 

mean value of 5.10 and a coefficient of variation of 19% in the control treatment, and 

from 1.77 to 6.52, with mean value of 3.36 and a coefficient of variation of 56% in the 

doubled litter treatment. It was closely related with annual surface litter biomass, 

annual mean soil moisture content, and the interplay between annual surface litter 

biomass and annual mean soil moisture content (P&lt;0.01). Moreover, the contribution to 

temperature sensitivity of surface litter respiration from soil moisture was greater than 

that from surface litter biomass (control treatment: 2.68 vs. 2.04, respectively; doubled 

litter treatment: 1.37 vs. 0.69, respectively). Additionally, under the doubled litter 

treatment, temperature sensitivity of surface litter respiration decreased by 34%. In the 

artificial locust plantation ecosystem, over 50% of surface litter carbon was kept under 

the control treatment [215 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>vs. 113 

g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>], but only 24% of surface litter carbon 

was kept under the doubled litter treatment [430 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>vs. 326 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>], which implied that the 

soil carbon reserves in the plantation ecosystem will not increase with an increase of 

surface litter biomass in the Loess Plateau, China. Therefore, investigating the 

relationships among soil moisture, surface litter biomass, and surface litter biomass 

control measures are useful for the accurate understanding of the regional soil carbon 

cycle.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The existence of high concentrations of salinity and organics would have a great 

impact on the microorganisms when using bioreactors to treat wastewater. Thus, it is 

necessary to find bioreactors resistant to high concentrations of salinity. The effect of 

salinity on an expanded granular sludge bed reactor (EGSB) was studied by increasing the 

Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration from 0 to 10 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>using simulated high 

salinity wastewater with a COD volume loading of 3.267 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. The results show no obvious inhibitory effect of 

Cl<sup>-</sup>on the microorganism when the concentration of Cl<sup>-</sup>was below 7 

500 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Above 1.3 m<sup>3</sup>&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>volumetric gas production rate was maintained and COD removal rate could 

achieved 98.1% when the Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration up to 7 500 mg&middot;L<sup>-

of of the system. The anaerobic granular sludge was seriously affected when the Cl<sup>-

</sup>concentration as 10 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The community structure of the 

anaerobic granular sludge was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing when the 

Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration was 0 and 5 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The results show 

that the salinity stress produced different dominant groups. The dominant species were 

Methanobacterium, Methanospirillum, Methanothrix, and Paludibacter when the Cl<sup>-

</sup>concentration was 5 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, but Methanoregula and Longilinea 

were the dominant species when the Cl<sup>-</sup>concentration was 0.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In recent years, China has suffered a lot from atmospheric particles. Many 

studies of particles are based on filters. As a result, the accuracy of filter weighing 

is of great importance. A weighing chamber (1.2 m&times;0.6 m&times;0.8 m) was developed 

and evaluated using saturated MgCl<inf>2</inf>solution with a self-made flow control 

system to maintain constant relative humidity (RH). By evaluating the mass change of 

blank and aerosol-enriched filters after weighing in different RH, we selected RH of 

30%-40% as the range for the proper constant RH. To reach a constant RH, 20 

L&middot;min<sup>-1</sup>dry air was put through a RH-constant chamber with 

MgCl<inf>2</inf>solution in it. Then, the RH-constant air was put continually into the 

weighing chamber. After the weighing chamber reached stable RH, the flow rate was 

adjusted to 5 L&middot;min<sup>-1</sup>to maintain the RH. Throughout a one-month test, 

the weighing chamber maintained 30.1%-34.0% RH while the outside RH changed a lot. We 

weighed 60 filters with this weighing chamber after equilibration for 24 hours. The 

standard deviation after three times' weighing was no more than 0.02 mg. compared to 

other methods, the RH-controlling method of this weighing chamber was simple, stable, 

easy to maintain, and cost effective.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Long-term field monitoring data was analyzed regarding the characteristics of 

nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil and shallow groundwater of different land use types 

in a typical small watershed of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Furthermore, the 

relationships among soil nitrogen and phosphorus contents, concentrations of nitrogen and 

phosphorus in shallow groundwater, and slope surface runoff were analyzed. The results 

showed that the average contents of TN and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in terrace soil 

were significantly higher than those in sloping upland soil (P&lt;0.05), for which the 

average content of paddy terrace was highest (1.49 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>). The average 

contents of TP in the soil of sloping upland and mulberry-sloping upland were 

significantly higher than those in the soil of other land types. The average content of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the soil of dryland terrace was highest of all land use 

types and its discrete degree was also largest. The slope land use type had greater 

impact on the concentrations of TN and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in shallow 

groundwater, but it had little influence on TP concentration. In addition, the shallow 

groundwater TN concentration and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentration had 

significant positive correlation, and the average contribution rate of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N to TN in five wells ranged from 67.82% to 78.51%. The 

monthly average concentration of TN and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in shallow 

groundwater changed little, only showing a significant upward trend after the 

fertilization stage of the two crops in spring and autumn. The average contents of TN and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the slope soil were significantly correlated with the TN 

and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentrations in the shallow groundwater, but there was 

no significant correlation between the TN and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentrations 

in the surface runoff. When the slope surface runoff TP concentration was&gt;0.1 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the average content of TP had a significant linear correlation 

with it. There was a significant power function relationship between the concentrations 

of TN and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the surface runoff and concentrations of TN and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the shallow groundwater, with higher correlation of 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentrations between surface runoff and shallow 

groundwater.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study selected a larger typical karst basin, that of Lijiang River, as the 

research subject and studied the sources of organic carbon in the Lijiang basin in July, 

August, and September in 2016 by an isotope tracer method, a correlational analysis 

method, and endmember mixture model, using a stable isotope of carbon and the organic 

carbon to nitrogen ratio. The results showed the following. &#9312; The spatial 

distribution characteristics of DIC concentration were as follows: karst area&gt;karst 

and non-karst mixed area&gt;non-karst area. The content of DIC downstream was higher than 

upstream. The spatial distribution of DIC concentration was mainly controlled by the 

distribution of carbonate rocks in the Lijiang basin. &#9313; DOC was the main part of 

TOC in the Lijiang basin. TOC was mainly derived from the primary productivity of aquatic 

organisms. The spatial distribution characteristics of autochthonous organic carbon 

content were as follows: karst area&gt;karst and non-karst mixed area&gt;non-karst area, 

which may be related to more lush aquatic plants in the karst area than in the non-karst 

area and the carbonic anhydrase activity in the karst area being higher than in the non-

karst area. The content of autochthonous organic carbon in the TOC ranged from 1.02 to 

5.14 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an average of 2.54 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. There 

was no significant spatial difference of the proportion of autochthonous organic carbon 

in the TOC; it ranged from 51.68% to 85.99%, with an average of 73.07%. &#9314; The POC 

concentration, the content of autochthonous organic carbon in the POC, and the proportion 

of autochthonous organic carbon in the POC had no significant spatial differences. The 

main source of POC was allochthonous organic carbon, and the content of autochthonous 

organic carbon in the POC ranged from 0.01 to 0.16 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an 

average of 0.05 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The proportion of autochthonous organic carbon 

in the POC ranged from 3.69% to 41.94%, with an average of 17.31%. (4) The spatial 

distribution of the content of DOC and autochthonous organic carbon in the DOC are as 

follows: karst area&gt;karst and non-karst mixed area&gt;non-karst area. DOC mainly came 

from the primary productivity of aquatic organisms. The content of autochthonous organic 

carbon of the DOC ranged from 0.97 to 5.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an average of 

2.48 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The spatial distribution of the proportion of 

autochthonous organic carbon in the DOC had no obvious difference and ranged from 54.43% 

to 94.69%, with an average of 79.51%. Studying the influence of aquatic photosynthetic 

organisms on organic carbon in rivers can provide basis for scientific problem solution 

of the stability of karst carbon sinks.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Recently, 13 new phenolic halogenated disinfection by-products (DBPs) have been 

reported in chlorinated drinking water and have been classified into four groups: 

dihalo-4-hydroxybenzaldehydes, dihalo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, dihalo-salicylic acids, and 

trihalo-phenols. In this work, the four fully brominated species (3, 5-dibromo-4-

hydroxybenzoic acid, 3, 5-dibromosalicylic acid, 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol, and 3, 5-

dibromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) were selected as representatives, and the decomposition 

mechanism of these new DBPs during chlorination was studied with the aid of ultra 

performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization triple-quadrupole mass 

spectrometry (precursor ion scan, multiple reaction monitoring, and product ion scan). 

Except for 3, 5-dibromosalicylic acid, the new DBPs were not stable and could be finally 

decomposed to haloacetic acids through multistep substitution, hydrolysis, and oxidation. 

Various decomposition intermediate DBPs were detected, including a new group of 

halogenated DBPs with cyclic structures (trihalo-hydroxyl-cyclopetene-diones).<br/>

from auxiliary engines to obtain fuel-based emission factors (EFs). The fuel-based EFs 

for vessels A, B, and C at berth were 3 096, 3 031, and 3 028 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively, for CO<inf>2</inf>; 61.8, 19.9, and 27.0 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for 

NO<inf>x</inf>; 8.0, 4.0, and 5.3 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for CO; 31.4, 41.9, and 56.7 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for SO<inf>2</inf>; 2.4, 1.1, and 1.5 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>; and 0.13, 0.09, and 0.17 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for VOCs. With the 

basic information about ship types, arrival times, and berthing times, the emissions of 

NO<inf>x</inf>, CO, SO<inf>2</inf>, PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and NH<inf>3</inf>from a ship at 

berth in the Guangzhou Port in 2014 were roughly estimated to be 1 231, 226, 1 229, 47.6 

and 0.04 t, respectively, with ships with a tonnage of 10&times;10<sup>3</sup>-

50&times;10<sup>3</sup>t sharing the largest burdens, followed by ships over a tonnage of 

50&times;10<sup>3</sup>t. Estimated emission of VOCs from ships at berth in the Guangzhou 

Port was about 33.6 t, with vessels below a tonnage of 3&times;10<sup>3</sup>t 

contributing the most.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To study the concentration characteristics as well as sources of elements and 

heavy metal pollution in atmospheric dust fall in Zhuzhou City, 144 samples from 12 sites 

in the Zhuzhou urban area were collected from January to December in 2012 and 28 kinds of 

elements in the samples were analyzed. The results showed that the dust fall quantities 

of the industrial areas and mixed commercial and residential (MCR) areas were, 

respectively, 89.46 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>and 33.20 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>and the range 

of all sample points was 23.14-114.67 g&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>. There were 10 elements 

(Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb) in the industrial areas as well as 8 elements in 

the MCR areas, for which the contents greatly exceeded 1 000 mg&middot;m<sup>-1</sup>in 

the atmospheric dust fall. The Zn and Pb contents exceeded 10 000 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>in the dust fall of the industrial areas, which were far higher than those in the 

Earth's crust. The main sources of dust fall in Zhuzhou City were metal smelting, shallow 

ground dust, vehicle emissions, construction dust, and industrial production with 

specific elements (Mo, Ba). Correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and 

analysis of transportation characteristics showed that 13 elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, 

As, Se, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Tl, Pb) in dust fall mainly came from waste gas emissions of 

industrial areas in Zhuzhou, in which 7 heavy metal elements (Cu, Zn, As, Ag, Cd, Sb, Pb) 

caused serious pollution. The contents of heavy metals in the industrial areas were 7.4 

to 4 079.4 times the contents defined in China soil elements background values, whereas 

those in the MCR areas were 3.6 to 1 413.4 times the soil background values. Cd was the 

highest background ratio element. The degree of contamination was clearly higher in the 

industrial areas than in the MCR areas.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:As one of the characteristics of traditional food in Beijing, there is a 

significant difference between roast duck and other foods in the cooking process, in that 

fruit trees are used as fuel in the former. However, system research about the emission 

characteristics of this food source has not been done domestically. In order to grasp 

such food source emission characteristics and provide technical basis for pollution 

control, we selected the representative roast duck restaurant in Beijing and studied the 

emission characteristics of atmospheric pollutants in the cooking process of roast duck. 

The results showed that the emission concentrations of cooking fumes, particulate matter, 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and aldehyde and ketone compounds were 

(0.74&plusmn;0.45), (15.32&plusmn;7.93), (7.60&plusmn;3.41), and (1.22&plusmn;0.59) 

mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The emission concentration of particulate matter 

was much higher than that of cooking fumes. The VOC component composition was very 

complex, containing alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxygen VOCs, such as 

aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ester compounds, and halogenated hydrocarbons, with the 

highest concentrations of 3-methylfuran, ethanol, and methyl acetate. The main components 

of aldehyde and ketone compounds were acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and acrolein, of which 

C1-C3 compounds were 72.27%.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The effect of pH shock on nitrogen removal performance of marine anaerobic 

ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (MAAOB) treating saline wastewater was studied by employing 

an ASBR reactor. Dynamic characteristics of the MAAOB were simulated by the Andrew model 

and Ratkowsky model. The results indicated that the reactor had the best nitrogen removal 

efficiency when the pH value was 7-8. The nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was 

(0.30&plusmn;0.04) kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, and the total 

nitrogen removal efficiency (TNRE) was (76.73&plusmn;5.74)%. When the pH value was 8.5, 

FA had a mean concentration of 14.22 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and little effect on 

nitrogen removal. The NRR was (0.30&plusmn;0.02) kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>. However, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N accumulated and it was not 

completely removed. When the pH values were 6.5 and 9, the concentrations of FA were 0.22 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 37.84 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, the NRRs were 

(0.10&plusmn;0.02) and (0.15&plusmn;0.02) kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>, and the TNREs were (23.04&plusmn;9.88)% and (42.12&plusmn;5.52)%. The tolerance 

of the MAAOB in alkaline condition was stronger than that in acidic condition. The Andrew 

model was modified to determine the relationship between NRR and FA. Other parameters 

such as NRR<inf>max</inf>, k<inf>S</inf>, and k<inf>I</inf>were also achieved 

simultaneously. These are key to describing the nitrogen removal process of MAAOB.<br/>

Abstract:Identification of chemical composition anomalies in groundwater is an important 

basis for establishing groundwater background values and quantifying the degree of 

influence of human activities. The main component anomaly identification by five kinds of 

hydrochemical diagrams has achieved good results in the past. However, this method is too 

complex to be used widely. In order to simplify the five kinds of hydrochemical diagrams, 

the Durov diagram was used to replace the five kinds of hydrochemical diagrams to 

identify the main component anomalies of groundwater, with the Liujiang basin employed as 

a verification example. The effects of seven kinds of anomaly identification methods 

combined by hydrochemical diagrams and mathematical statistics methods were compared, and 

the reliability of these methods were tested in the study. The result indicated that the 

combination of mathematical statistics and hydrochemical diagrams method can identify the 

groundwater anomalies better than either used alone. The method of the Pauta criterion

+five kinds of hydrography diagrams and the Pauta criterion+the Durov diagram were the 

best to identify the major component anomalies of groundwater. This shows that the Durov 

diagram can effectively replace the five kinds of hydrochemical diagrams for anomaly 

recognition of groundwater, which not only preserves the scientificity of hydrochemical 

anomaly identification, but also greatly simplifies the process of calculation.<br/>

Abstract:In order to study the influence of dust events on the airborne microbes in 

atmospheric bioaerosols, bioaerosol samples were continuously collected from March to 

April 2015 during two dust events using size-fractionated bioaerosol samplers in Lanzhou 

and Qingdao. The concentration of airborne microbes were measured using an 

epifluorescence microscope after staining with DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). The 

results showed that the concentration of airborne microbes increased significantly during 

the period of dust (P&lt;0.05). The average concentrations of airborne microbes on sunny 

days were 5.61&times;10<sup>5</sup>cells&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 

2.08&times;10<sup>5</sup>cells&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in Lanzhou and Qingdao, respectively, 

whereas the mean concentrations on dusty days were 14.8 times and 6.42 times those on 

sunny days, respectively. The concentration of airborne microbes presented a bimodal size 

distribution on sunny days in Lanzhou and Qingdao, with a peak at&gt;7.0 &mu;m and the 

lowest values ranging from 4.7 &mu;m to 7.0 &mu;m. However, the second peak appeared at 

3.3-4.7 &mu;m and 1.1-2.1 &mu;m in Lanzhou and Qingdao, respectively. The size 

distribution of airborne microbes changed during the dust period. The size distribution 

of microbes still presented a bimodal distribution in Lanzhou; however, one peak shifted 

from&gt;7.0 &mu;m to 1.1-2.1 &mu;m. The size distribution in Qingdao changed from a 

bimodal distribution to a skewed distribution with the predominant fraction in coarse 

mode. The background values of microbial load in PM<inf>10</inf>before the dust were 2 

224 cells&middot;&mu;g<sup>-1</sup>and 1 550 cells&middot;&mu;g<sup>-1</sup>in Lanzhou 

and Qingdao, respectively, and the highest value of such increased significantly to 26 

442 cells&middot;&mu;g<sup>-1</sup>and 10 250 cells&middot;&mu;g<sup>-1</sup>during the 

dust events, respectively. This demonstrated that the high concentration of microbes in 

the dust events resulted not only from increased atmospheric particles but also from dust 

source and transportation path along with long-range transported dust particles.<br/>

Abstract:The spatial-temporal characteristics of chlorophyll a concentration[&rho;(Chla)] 

were analyzed in Shiyan Reservoir, based on the monthly monitoring data from April 2013 

to June 2014. The correlation between &rho;(Chla) and key environmental factors were also 

studied using correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis.The results 

showed that &rho;(TChla) was 9.59-123.29 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an average of 

52.03 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The &rho;(Chla) of cyanobacteria was 4.54-76.30 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an average of 28.39 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The 

&rho;(Chla) of bacillariophyta was 3.16-46.09 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an 

average of 15.02 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The &rho;(Chla) of chlorophyta was 0.77-

26.2 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with an average of 8.62 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

Cyanobacteria was the primary species from April to December in 2013 and May, June in 

2014 while bacillariophyta was the primary species in other months. The spatial 

heterogeneity of &rho;(Chla) was unconspicuous and &rho;(Chla) decreased gradually from 

south to north. There was a risk of algal blooming for the whole reservoir during flood 

season and south part of reservoir in autumn. The storm runoff pollutant washout was the 

leading cause of the spatial heterogeneity of &rho;(Chla) in Shiyan Reservoir. Analysis 

revealed that water temperature was the most important driving factor for seasonal 

succession of phytoplankton. Significant correlation was found between &rho;(Chla) and 

surface runoff in flood season. TN&#8758;TP was negatively related to phytoplankton 

biomass and phosphorus was the restrictive factor for phytoplankton. Cyanophyta were 

affected water temperature, TOC, TN, pH, transparency, turbidity and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N. However silicate, TOC, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, and 

COD were the main environmental factor of bacillariophyta while TOC, COD, pH, 

transparency and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were the main factor of chlorophyta.<br/>

Abstract:Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX) is an efficient and energy-saving 

denitrification technology, but it still lacks a simple and easy method to characterize 

its start-up process and stable state. Based on the analysis of water quality, color 

space was used to monitor the color change of sludge during the start-up of ANAMMOX, and 

the species and quantity of microbial flora were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing 

technology. The results were as follows. &#9312; According to water quality 

characteristics, the whole start-up process can be divided into activity lag phase, 

activity enhancement period, load increase period, and stable operation period. At the 

same time, HSV and CIELAB color space indicators decreased first, then increased, and 

finally remained stable. The change of sludge color was consistent with the change of 

water quality and the change of dominant bacteria based on the molecular biology testing, 

which implies correlations among these three. Therefore, color space can be used to 

characterize the start-up process of ANAMMOX. &#9313; When subjected to shocks caused by 

high load, H, S, a<sup>*</sup>, b<sup>*</sup>, C<inf>ab</inf><sup>*</sup>, and TIN volume 

removal rate all decreased, while H<inf>ab</inf>suddenly increased. The impact 

characteristic of the system was accurately expressed by all of the color indicators. 

This paper proposes a color space-based method for characterizing all phases of the 

start-up of ANAMMOX and a shock process index system that provides a theoretical basis

Abstract:The effect of the TOC to NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N ratio on nitrogen removal 

rate in an ANAMMOX sequencing batch reactor was studied for the short term and long term. 

Short-term results showed the maximum TOC/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N that ANAMMOX could 

afford was 1.4. At the same time, the rate of nitrogen removal was 0.26 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. The maximum nitrogen removal rate of 0.34 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>was obtained when TOC/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N was less than 0.4 in the long-term experiment. Whereas the nitrogen removal 

rate of the reactor decreased continuously when TOC/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N exceeded 

0.4, and it was difficult to recover the activity of the ANAMMOX bacteria in the short 

term. qPCR results showed that the amount of ANAMMOX bacteria dropped from 

2.9&times;10<sup>11</sup>copies&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>to 

3.15&times;10<sup>10</sup>copies&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>with the increase of organics. 

When TOC/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N exceeded 1.6, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N could 

hardly be removed by the ANAMMOX bacteria, which were severely inhibited. The number of 

denitrifying bacteria was 3.0&times;10<sup>9</sup>copies&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>; 

meanwhile, most of the NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N in the reactor was removed via 

denitrification.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Soil microcosm incubation, molecular ecology techniques including denaturing 

gradient gel electrophoresis and Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing, and 

bioinformatics analysis were carried out to investigate the effect of long-term 

fertilization with chemical fertilizers (NPK) and organic manure (OM) on soil 

nitrification activity and the autotrophic nitrifying communities in acidic upland soils. 

No fertilization soil (CK) was the control. Relationships between soil nitrification 

activities, autotrophic nitrifying communities, and soil characteristics were further 

evaluated. Long-term fertilization significantly increased the soil organic carbon and 

inorganic nitrogen contents. Fertilization with organic manure significantly increased 

soil pH and total nitrogen contents, but decreased soil C/N. Autotrophic nitrification 

dominated soil nitrification, and accounted for 73.60%-85.32% of total nitrification. 

Fertilization significantly increased soil autotrophic nitrification activity and the 

highest value was observed in the OM soil. During the microcosm incubation, the absolute 

abundances of amoA genes and the relative abundances of 16S rRNA genes of ammonia-

oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in the OM soil significantly 

increased. The relative abundances of 16S rRNA genes of the AOA greatly increased in both 

CK and NPK soils. These results suggested the remarkable activity of AOA in the three 

soils (the predominant population was Nitrososphaera, &gt;99.30%) and implied that AOB 

was active in the OM soil (the predominant population was Nitrosospira, &gt;99.99%). We 

also found the activity of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in the OM soil, and the 

predominant population was Nitrospira (&gt;96.69%). Stepwise regression analysis 

demonstrated that soil autotrophic nitrification activity was significantly affected by 

soil total nitrogen content, whereas the abundances of archaeal and bacterial amoA genes 

were significantly affected by soil organic carbon content and soil pH, respectively. We 

also found significant positive correlation between the relative abundance of 

Nitrososphaera and soil nitrate content and a negative correlation between the relative 

abundance of Nitrosospira and Nitrospira with soil C/N. Overall, our results showed that 

long-term fertilization greatly increased soil nitrification activity and altered the 

autotrophic nitrifying communities in acidic upland soils. Soil autotrophic nitrification 

activity was significantly stimulated by soil total nitrogen content. The Nitrososphaera 

group played a critical role in nitrification of acidic upland soils. The increased soil 

pH and decreased soil C/N stimulated the growth of Nitrosospira.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:An integrated partial nitrification anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor was used 

to explore the feasibility of nitrogen removal from recycled ethanol wastewater. The 

results show that the integrated partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PN-

ANAMMOX) reactor was started successfully after 40 d under the conditions of pH 

7.8&plusmn;0.5, temperature 30-35&#8451;, and aerobic ORP value 120-150 mV. The total 

nitrogen removal rate of 0.125 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>increased 

to 0.75 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, Inoculation of mature nitrosated 

biofilms and anaerobic ammonium oxide granules can accelerate the start of the reactor. 

The effects of alcohol wastewater on the PN-ANAMMOX reactor were mainly caused by 

biodegradable TOC, The biodegradable TOC concentration of 100mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in 

alcohol wastewater can reduce the removal rate of total nitrogen from 0.75 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.25 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>, this inhibition can be restored. Different concentrations of alcohol wastewater 

were dosed into the PN-ANAMMOX reactor to acclimate the bacteria. The total nitrogen 

removal rate first decreased and then increased, as the influent concentration gradient 

increased, which was beneficial for improving the efficiency of nitrogen removal by 

extending the HRT and increasing the dissolved oxygen in the PN stage. Finally, the 

nitrogen removal rate stabilized at 0.65 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. 

These results show that PN-ANAMMOX can be used for the treatment of alcohol 

wastewater.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:By using Enterococcus faecalis Z5 strain (CCTCC M2012445) as a microbial 

resource, this study explored the possibility of recovering palladium (Pd) in the form of 

nanoparticles by adding an electron donor; investigated the Pd biorecovery efficiency of 

three kinds of simulated wastewaters including industrial waste processing leachates 

(IW), printed circuit board scrap (PCBS), and spent automotive catalyst (SAC); and 

analyzed the effect of other metal ions contained in simulated wastewater on Pd 

biorecovery efficiency. The results showed that the E. faecalis Z5 could recover Pd(II) 

as palladium nanoparticles from the three simulated wastewaters. X-ray diffraction and 

transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that the recovered product was Pd 

nanoparticles that were about 10 nm in size and mainly distributed in the periplasm of 

the cells. The order of Pd(II) biorecovery efficiency from the three kinds of wastewaters 

was IW&gt;SAC&gt;PCBS. The biosorption efficiencies for IW, SAC, and PCBS were 99.8% (6 

h), 99.7% (8 h), and 90.3% (12 h), respectively, and the bioreduction efficiencies were 

99.9% (4 h), 99.9% (6 h), and 80.4% (36 h). Other metal ions contained in the simulated 

wastewaters such as Pt(IV;), Au(III), Ag(I), Cu(II), and Fe(II) affected both the 

biosorption and bioreduction processes. The degree of matrix effects on the Pd(II) 

bioreduction efficiency were in the order Au(III) &gt;Pt(IV;) &gt;Cu(II) &gt;Ag(I) 

&gt;Fe(II). Further doping the recovered Pd nanoparticles with ferriferous oxide enabled 

the products to catalyze the degradation of methylene blue in heterogeneous Fenton 

reactions, which showed 96.7% degradation rate of methyl blue within 80 min.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Snow samples were collected from the snow event on January 20-22, 2016 from 11 

sites in downtown Hangzhou to explore the occurrence of sixteen perfluorinated compounds 

(PFCs) in the atmosphere. All samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction with Oasis 

WAX cartridges and analyzed using ultra performance liquid chromatography interfaced with 

tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that seven medium-and short-

chain PFCs including C<inf>4</inf>and C<inf>8</inf>perfluorinated sulfonates (PFSAs) and 

C<inf>4</inf>-C<inf>6</inf>, C<inf>8</inf>, and C<inf>9</inf>perfluorinated carboxylic 

acids (PFCAs) were detected in the snow samples. Total PFC concentrations ranged from 

2.85 to 35.1 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, whereas perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) dominated, 

with ranges of 2.15-23.0 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) 

was detected at lower levels, ranging from 0 to 0.46 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. As 

compared to the results from other studies, the PFOA concentrations of the study region 

were at mid-level and the PFOS concentrations were relatively low. The spatial 

distribution of PFCs varied, and the pollutant concentrations of the snow samples from 

the sampling sites located in the urban areas were higher than those in the rural areas. 

The greatest total PFC concentrations were detected in Fuyang, whereas the lowest 

concentrations were detected in Jiande and Chun'an. In this study, the high 

concentrations of PFCs dominated by PFOA that were measured in the Hangzhou snow samples 

emphasize the importance of atmospheric wet deposition as one of the sources of PFC 

contamination in this ecological system and should be addressed. The occurrence of PFCs 

in the air, indicated by their presence in the snow, suggests that the atmospheric 

environment may be an important contributor in human and ecological exposure to PFCs by 

local residents.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A total of 55 ambient fine particle (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) samples were collected in 

Changzhou City from January to August 2016. The concentrations of 17 PM<inf>2.5</inf>-

bound PAHs in the samples were analyzed by GC-MS. Results showed that seasonal average 

mass concentrations of PAHs in winter, spring, and summer were 140.24, 41.42, and 2.96 

ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively, which indicating that the pollution of PAHs in 

winter appeared more serious than in the other two seasons, and 4-6-ring high molecular 

weight PAHs were predominant in all three seasons. The average daily level of BaP was 

3.64 ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and the days it exceeded the permitted standard accounted 

for 41% of total days. PAH concentration had significant negative correlations with 

temperature (correlation coefficient: -0.643) and visibility (correlation coefficient: -

0.466), whereas it had good positive correlations with atmospheric pressure (correlation 

coefficient: 0.544) and poor correlations with wind speed and relative humidity. PAH 

concentrations were higher at nighttime than at daytime, because of the influences of 

temperature difference, atmospheric stratification, as well as pollution sources. The 

results from the air backward trajectory model indicated that PM<inf>2.5</inf>-bound PAHs 

in Changzhou were mainly affected by local emission sources and short-distance 

transportation, whereas the contribution of long-distance transmission was small (only 

11%). Based on analysis of characteristic ratios, PAHs were mainly sourced from coal 

burning, vehicle emissions, and biomass burning. An incremental lifetime cancer risk 

(ILCR) model was used to evaluate the health impact of PAHs via breathing exposure 

pathways. Results revealed that the ILCR of adults was higher than that of children. The 

ILCRs of the group for winter and spring were slightly higher than the risk threshold, 

but a difference was not obvious for summer.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to ensure drinking water quality, three different Al-based coagulants 

[Al<inf>2</inf>(SO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>(AS), Al<inf>13</inf>, Al<inf>30</inf>] were 

used to treat water laden with different algae [Microcystis aeruginosa(cyanobacteria), 

Chlorella(green algae), Cyclotella (diatoms)]. Floc size, strength factor, and recovery 

factor under different conditions were measured to investigate the mechanisms in the 

coagulation-ultrafiltration process. The results indicated that the main mechanism in the 

coagulation process using Al<inf>13</inf>or Al<inf>30</inf>as coagulants was 

electrostatic patching and the main mechanism using AS was charge neutralization. In the 

Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlorella systems, when Al<inf>13</inf>and Al<inf>30</inf>were 

used as coagulants at low dosage, the coagulants that were adsorbed on the side (which 

existed on the surfaces of Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlorella cells) would lose their 

ability to aggregate the algal cells. When AS was used as coagulant, the electric double 

layer was effectively compressed. The repulsive force between algal particles decreased, 

and the flocs formed easily. In the Cyclotella system, Al<inf>13</inf>and 

Al<inf>30</inf>coagulants effectively formed the flocs through electrostatic patch 

effects. There was a significant correlation between membrane flux and floc size, and the 

larger flocs formed a looser cake layer on the membrane surface.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In this study, municipal sludge, sawdust, and mushroom residues were used as raw 

materials for composting, and thermophiles and white-rot fungi were added into the 

compost in stages. By measuring physicochemical factors, including temperature, pH value, 

organic matter, water-soluble organic carbon, moisture content, total nitrogen, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, and germination index during 

the composting process, the effect of exogenous bacteria inoculation on the efficiency of 

compost was determined. By means of high-throughput sequencing technology, the variation 

of bacterial community structure and the impact of exogenous bacteria inoculation on 

bacterial community structure during sludge composting were also investigated. The 

results showed that the inoculation extended the high temperature duration, decreased the 

nitrogen loss, and accelerated the decomposition and detoxification of the compost. 

During the entire period of composting, the structure of bacterial community changed 

significantly. There was low similarity of bacterial community structure among different 

stages of the same composting, but high similarity was observed in different composting 

of the same period. The inoculation of thermophilic bacteria improved the abundance of 

bacterial community and increased the proportions of dominant genera in thermophilic 

phase, but changed no species of dominant genera. Canonical correspondence analysis 

showed that pH had the highest influence on the structure of bacterial community and that 

temperature possessed positive correlation with nine genera.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To shorten the start-up time of the CANON granular sludge process and improve 

the total nitrogen removal rate in the engineering, the start-up method of CANON granular 

sludge process and the strategy for enhancing the total nitrogen removal rate were 

studied in an SBR reactor. During the experiment, the temperature was controlled at 

30&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451; and the pH was 7-8, the aeration rate and settling time were 

operated according to the sludge properties and effect of nitrogen removal. The results 

showed that the transition of the sludge properties from combined floc-granule to granule 

was realized after 55 d. The total nitrogen removal rate reached 0.32 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and remained stable after 117 d, thus the reactor 

was started up successfully. With constant improvement of the aeration rate, the average 

NRR was maintained at 1.35 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>after 77 d and 

improvement of the process load was achieved. The results showed that there was good 

correlation between the NRR and DO, therefore, the NRR can be determined by observing the 

DO and the process can be maintained stably.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Piggery wastewater treatment with microalgae is a biological recycling 

technology. To evaluate the purification effect, this study investigated the treatment of 

piggery wastewater at different dilution ratios with Chlorella pyrenoidosa by attached 

cultivation and lipid production of algae cells and explored the tolerance of Chlorella 

pyrenoidosa to the piggery wastewater, which has high ammonia nitrogen. The piggery 

wastewater was diluted with purified water 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-fold in culture media. The 

removal efficiencies of COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus and 

the enrichment effect of the heavy metals copper, zinc, and iron were measured. 

Meanwhile, we investigated the lipid production of Chlorella pyrenoidosa in variously 

diluted wastewater (1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-fold). It turned out that the purification effects 

of COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus were best when the piggery 

wastewater was diluted 5-fold, and the removal efficiencies were 86.8%, 94.1%, 85.2%, and 

84.3%, respectively. Correspondingly, the lipid content was as high as 32.7%, and the 

removal efficiencies of the heavy metals copper, zinc, and iron were 72.9%, 70.0%, and 

73.0%, respectively. The biomass productivity was 4.21 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>at the end of the experiment. This research makes an effective connection 

between microalgae and piggery wastewater, which is difficult to purify deeply, and 

provides a theoretical basis for achieving algal biofuel production and decreasing the 

cost of wastewater treatment.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:N<inf>2</inf>O and NO<inf>x</inf>emissions from a winter wheat-summer maize 

rotation system in purple soil were measured on a long-term fertilization platform of 

purple soil for two consecutive cropping years (from November 2014 to September 2016) by 

using a closed-chamber and gas chromatography-based system. Chemical fertilizer (NPK), 

pig manure (OM), incorporation of crop residues plus synthetic NPK fertilizer (RSDNPK), 

pig manure plus synthetic NPK fertilizer (OMNPK), and nitrification inhibitor with NPK 

fertilizer (DCDNPK) under the same rate of total nitrogen were involved in monitoring 

N<inf>2</inf>O and NO<inf>x</inf>emissions. Short-term fertilizer-free treatment (CK) was 

used as a control for emission coefficient calculation. The results showed that 

N<inf>2</inf>O emission peaks appeared in the early stage of fertilization and in the 

period of heavy rainfall for all fertilization regimes. The NO<inf>x</inf>emission 

process was similar to that of N<inf>2</inf>O, in that emission peaks appeared at the 

early stage of fertilization, yet no obvious emission peaks were observed during heavy 

rainfall. The annual cumulative emissions of N<inf>2</inf>O from NPK, OM, RSDNPK, OMNPK, 

and DCDNPK were 1.35, 4.38, 1.43, 2.46, and 0.92 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, 

and the emission coefficients were 0.33%, 1.41%, 0.36% 0.73%, and 0.18%. The annual 

emissions of NO<inf>x</inf>from NPK, OM, RSDNPK, OMNPK, and DCDNPK were 0.11, 0.38, 0.10, 

0.27, and 0.04 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, and the cumulative emission 

coefficients were 0.03%, 0.13%, 0.03%, 0.09%, and 0.01%. Amendment of organic material 

was the main stimulator for N<inf>2</inf>O and NO<inf>x</inf>emissions, as they 

significantly increased 226% and 262% (for OM) and 83% and 157% (for OMNPK), respectively 

(P&lt;0.01), compared with conventional synthetic fertilizers. The application of 

synthetic fertilizers combined with nitrification inhibitor (DCDNPK) significantly 

reduced N<inf>2</inf>O emissions 32% and NO<inf>x</inf>emissions 62% (P&lt;0.01), whereas 

straw returning with NPK application increased N<inf>2</inf>O emissions 6% and reduced 

NO<inf>x</inf>emissions 5% (P&gt;0.05). Furthermore, statistical analyses showed that 

soil inorganic N content was the main regulating factor of N<inf>2</inf>O and 

NO<inf>x</inf>emissions together, whereas soil water-filled pore space (WFPS) and 

temperature were the respective main regulating factors of N<inf>2</inf>O and 

NO<inf>x</inf>emissions individually.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Phosphorus (P) is a potential limiting nutrient in Changjiang Estuary. 

Sedimentary P preservation and regeneration play an important role in indicating regional 

environmental changes and buffering P limitation in the water column. A series of coring 

experiments was implemented in the hypoxic area of Changjiang Estuary to explore 

sedimentary P speciation and distribution and their environmental significance. The 

results showed that the contents and distributions of P in the cores were largely 

influenced by terrestrial loading, and Detr-P was the dominant P form in the sediments, 

followed by Org-P, Fe-P, and Auth-P, whereas Exch-P was the minor phase of Tot-P 

(&lt;5%). Auth-P was predominantly yielded by Org-P and Fe-P transformations. P 

preservation in Changjiang Estuary was significantly related to terrestrial inputs and 

environmental changes in the water column. P speciation in cores tracked the regional 

environmental changes effectively. Distribution of reactive P in the hypoxic area was 

significantly different from that in the oxic area, with fairly high C/P ratios. The 

benthic diffusive flux of DRP in the study area ranged from 0.90 to 1.13 &mu;mol&middot;

(cm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>. Tot-P burial efficiency (PBE) was higher than 70% 

and the PBE for Detr-P was nearly 100%, whereas the PBEs for Fe-P and Org-P were 38% and 

26%, respectively. Auth-P was the dominant fraction of reactive P preserved in the 

sediments, and about 51% of Auth-P originated from Fe-P and Org-P transformations. The 

PBE in the hypoxia area of Changjiang Estuary was fairly lower than that in the 

continental shelf of the East China Sea. Hypoxia leads to a decrease in the PBE, which 

would have long-term influence on ecological environmental problems, especially 

eutrophification. Changes in terrestrial inputs played a key role in P composition in the 

sediments; the P loads of Changjiang River coupled with primary production and hypoxia 

greatly affected the P cycling in the Estuary.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to understand the microbial community composition and mechanism of 

purifying aquaculture water with a biofilter that was been applied to spotted parrotfish 

recirculating aquaculture systems with microglass beads as the biofilter filler, the 

changes in the nutrients of different biological filter beds and the water treatment 

performance of a fluidized-sand biofilter were analyzed. By using high-throughput 

sequencing technology, the microbial community structure of the surface area and bottom 

area at different times were studied. The results show that the fluidized-sand biofilter 

successfully start-up after one month under marine culture. Nitrification of the 

biofilter occurred mainly in the lower bed layer; the surface area played a small role in 

eliminating the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. The average removal rates of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, TN, BOD<inf>5</inf>, and SS were 68.3%&plusmn;2.24%, 

49.54%&plusmn;3.56%, 60.35%&plusmn;4.98%, and 45.21%&plusmn;2.11%, respectively. The 

average NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N removal load reached (343.28&plusmn;75.5) g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which showed a better performance of wastewater 

treatment. In this experiment, 31 phyla and 490 genera were identified, thus the 

biological diversity was significantly higher than that of the other conventional 

microbial biofilter. Start-stop cycling of the self-cleaning device in the biofilter had 

no effect on the microbial diversity of different regional, but had some effect on the 

dominant bacterial community of the microglass beads surface. Under opening self-cleaning 

device regularly condition, the microbial species of the surface and bottom areas became 

significantly similar. With time, the microbial species of the superficial area and 

bottom area had no significant change, and the microbial population structure was 

relatively stable. In the biofilm training period, the diversity of microbial communities 

was significantly lower than it was after biofilm maturation. At the time of biofilter 

stable operation, the dominant bacteria of the superficial zone essentially remained 

unchanged and mainly included Anaerolineaceae_uncultured (8.4%-28%), 

Flavobacteriaceae_unclassified (1.1%-32%), Rhodobacteraceae_uncultured (2.3%-17%), 

Nitrospira(1%-7%), and Caldilineaceae_uncultured (1%-6%). The dominant bacteria of the 

bottom zone changed over time and mainly include Nitrospira (12.45%-17.06%), 

Candidatus_Microthrix (2.6%-8.8%), Muricauda (4.8%-6.3%), Defluviimonas (6%-7%), and 

Rhodobacteraceae_uncultured (2%-6.2%). Among them, the abundance of Nitrospira was 

significantly higher than that in the other biofilter.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:In order to investigate the carbonaceous characteristics of particles emitted 

from the iron and steel industry, an electrical low-pressure impactor (ELPI) was used to 

collect three sets of samples from the sintering process and one set of samples from the 

ironmaking process emissions of particulate matters. Organic carbon (OC) and elemental 

carbon (EC), which were divided into seven carbonaceous components based on the 

temperature of the particulate matter, were analyzed using a thermal-light reflection 

method. Results show that OC in sintering process particles is higher than that in 

ironmaking particles and accounts for 5.3%&plusmn;2.3% and 7.1%&plusmn;3.0% of 

PM<inf>10</inf>and PM<inf>2.5</inf>, respectively, which reveals that OC tended to be 

enriched in fine particles. In the ironmaking process particles, OC accounted for 2.5% 

and 2.0% of PM<inf>10</inf>and PM<inf>2.5</inf>, respectively. The relative proportions 

of the seven carbonaceous components in the four sets of samples were very similar. OC2 

and OC3 accounted for the highest proportion; the EC1, EC2, and EC3 contents decreased in 

turn; and OC1 may be associated with boiler scale and desulfurization. In addition, the 

OC and EC of sintering process particles had higher correlation, and the OC/EC value of 

primary emission particles was 4.7&plusmn;0.7, which is much higher than the value of the 

secondary OC estimation index in environment. Analyzing deeply on the carbonaceous 

characteristics in particles emitted from the iron and steel industry, which will provide 

essential data for source apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols in environment and will 

be conducive to the follow supervisory of pollution cleaning in iron and steel 

industry.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to achieve fast start-up of shortcut nitrification, a continuous 

stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) were selected for a 

comparative study about the start-up characteristic of shortcut nitrification. The 

differences in three aspects of the two reactors were investigated, namely start-up time, 

nitrogen transformation, and sludge performance. The results showed that the start-up of 

shortcut nitrification was successfully achieved in the CSTR and MBR after 44 and 56 days 

of operation, respectively, with influent C/N=1, temperature around 

30&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451;, pH of 7.5-8.0, and dissolved oxygen (DO) of 0.6-1.0 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, as well as combining anoxic/aerobic ratio 1&#8758;3 (15 

min&#8758;45 min) with shortened hydraulic retention time (HRT). The start-up period of 

the MBR was shorter. On the 14th, 28th, and 56th day, the average nitrite accumulation 

efficiencies in the CSTR were 51%, 66%, and 89%, respectively, and 50%, 71%, and 93% in 

the MBR, and nitrate formation rates of the CSTR was successively 7.4, 4.0, and 1.7 

mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N/MLVSS), respectively, 

and 7.6, 3.5, and 1.0 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-

N/MLVSS) for the MBR. A higher nitrite accumulation efficiency and a lower nitrate 

formation rate were detected in the MBR on the 28th and 56th day, respectively, which 

could be beneficial to the fast start-up of shortcut nitrification. During the operation 

period, the shortcut nitrification sludge in the two reactors was yellow, the sludge 

volume index (SVI) was between 55 and 110 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and the mixed liquor 

volatile suspended solids (MLVSS)/mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) ratio was around 

0.6-0.8. The good sludge performance created favorable conditions for the fast start-up 

of shortcut nitrification in both the CSTR and MBR. In conclusion, the MBR exhibited 

better performance in the fast start-up of shortcut nitrification.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In order to study the characteristics of odors from typical household rubbish 

disposal facilities, samples were taken from pretreatment workshops of the landfill 

process, incineration process, and composting process in Beijing, and cold enrichment-

GC/MS was used to determine the odor component qualitatively and quantitatively. Results 

indicated that six categories were detected in all samples: aromatic hydrocarbons, 

sulfides, halides, olefins, alkanes, and oxygen containing organic substances. In the 

pretreatment workshop of the landfill process, 50 kinds of chemicals were detected, the 

total odor concentration was 100.069 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the theoretical odor 

concentration was 350.611, and the comprehensive odor index was 25.448. In the 

pretreatment workshop of the incineration process, 55 kinds of chemicals were detected, 

the total odor concentration was 36.052 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the theoretical odor 

concentration was 141.434, and the comprehensive odor index was 21.506. In the 

pretreatment workshop of the composting process, 34 kinds of chemicals were detected, the 

total odor concentration was 25.382 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the theoretical odor 

concentration was 27.547, and the comprehensive odor index was 14.401. Combined with the 

threshold of diluted multiples, the particular pollutants of the pretreatment workshop of 

the landfill process were dimethyl disulfide, butyl acetate, p-diethylbenzene, and 

ethanol. Similarly, the particular pollutants of the pretreatment workshop of the 

incineration process were methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, ethanol, and limonene. The 

particular pollutants of the pretreatment workshop of the composting process were 

ethanol, dimethyl disulfide, butyl acetate, and limonene.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:A combination of microbubble catalytic ozonation and biological process was used 

for advanced treatment of biotreated coal chemical wastewater (BCCW). The performance of 

the combination system and the influence of the ratio of ozone dosage to influent COD 

were investigated. The results indicated that the refractory nitrogen-containing 

aromatics in the BCCW was degraded efficiently by microbubble catalytic ozonation, which 

resulted in some COD removal, ammonia nitrogen release, and significant improvement of 

biodegradability. The ozone utilization efficiency was close to 100% and the off-gas 

ozone did not need to be treated. Sufficient dissolved oxygen (DO) was provided by the 

microbubble catalytic ozonation for biological treatment without aeration. COD and 

ammonia nitrogen were removed further in the biological treatment efficiently. Better 

performance of the combination system was achieved when the system effluent reflux ratio 

was 30% and the ratio of ozone dosage to influent COD was 0.44 mg&middot;mg<sup>-1</sup>. 

In this case, for microbubble catalytic ozonation, the COD removal efficiency was 42.5%, 

the ratio of ozone consumed to COD removed was 1.38 mg&middot;mg<sup>-1</sup>, and the 

ozone utilization efficiency was 98.0%. For biological treatment, the COD removal 

efficiency was 42.3%. For the combination system, the total COD removal efficiency was 

66.7%, the average final effluent COD concentration was 91.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

and the estimated total ratio of ozone consumed to COD removed was 0.68 

mg&middot;mg<sup>-1</sup>, indicating better technical and economic performance.<br/>

Abstract:C-Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf>composite material [magnetic biomass char (MBC)] 

was prepared by pyrolysis of a mixture of wheat straw and siderite at 500&#8451;. The MBC 

was characterized by XRF, FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS, and a magnetic susceptibility device. The 

effect of contact time, pH value, initial Cd<sup>2+</sup>concentration, and ionic 

strength on the adsorption capacity of the MBC to Cd<sup>2+</sup>was investigated. The 

results showed that the BET surface areas of the MBC and biomass char (BC) were 23.38 

m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 7.20 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively, total pore volumes were 1.04&times;10<sup>-

1</sup>cm<sup>3</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 2.23&times;10<sup>-

2</sup>cm<sup>3</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and average pore diameters were 17.74 nm and 

12.38 nm. The magnetic susceptibility of the MBC was 42 900&times;10<sup>-

8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. FTIR showed that phenolic hydroxyl and 

carboxyl functional groups bound metal ions on the surface of the MBC and BC. The kinetic 

data of the MBC were described well by the pseudo-second-order model. Isothermal 

adsorption of Cd<sup>2+</sup>by MBC and BC was fitted well by the Freundlich equation. 

The adsorption velocity increased with an increase of pH in the region 3-6 and then 

stabilized in the region 6-9. The adsorption capacity of Cd<sup>2+</sup>decreased 

slightly when ionic strength increased from 1 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 100 

mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, whereas the desorption rate increased from 0.51% to 8.5%. The 

adsorption properties and characterization results illustrated that the removal mechanism 

of Cd<sup>2+</sup>likely was through adsorption and ion exchange on the surface of the 

MBC with a high amount of functional groups. In addition, magnetic adsorbents offered a 

significant advantage compared to other adsorbents in the aspect of separation from 

aqueous solution.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:From industrial and commercial areas of Ningbo City, China, 85 surface water 

samples were collected. The concentrations of six heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and 

Zn) in the samples were measured, and the characteristics of the spatial distributions of 

those metals were analyzed. Through a combination of regional characteristics and Pearson 

correlation coefficients of the different heavy metals, the main pollution sources of the 

two areas were analyzed. The potential ecological risks of these heavy metals were 

evaluated by considering health risk and cancer risk indices. The results indicate that 

the heavy metal pollution of surface waters was serious in both the industrial and 

commercial areas. Furthermore, the differences between the two areas were also observed. 

In the industrial area, the average concentrations of the six heavy metals were, from 

highest to lowest, in the order: Zn&Gt;Ni&gt;Pb&gt;Cr&gt;Cu&gt;Cd, and the main sources 

were industrial emissions. Four heavy metal concentrations exceeded the national 

environmental standard, which, from highest to lowest, were in the order: 

Cd&gt;Pb&gt;Cr&Gt;Zn. In the commercial area, the average concentrations, from highest to 

lowest, were in the order: Cr&gt;Pb&Gt;Zn&gt;Ni&gt;Cd&gt;Cu, and the main sources were 

road pollutants. Three heavy metal concentrations exceeded the national standard, and the 

order, from highest to lowest, was Cd&gt;Pb&Gt;Cr, with Cd and Pb having the most 

potential health risk. In both the industrial and commercial areas, there were some 

potential health risks and high carcinogenic risks. Cd, Cr, and Pb have the highest 

potential health risks, whereas Cr is the major potentially carcinogenic metal. The 

commercial area had 1.7 times the potential carcinogenic risk as that of the industrial 

area. The government should pay more attention to heavy metal pollution of surface waters 

in Ningbo City, China.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Using the static opaque chamber method and choosing a chili-radish cropping 

system, a field experiment, located in the Key Field Station for Monitoring of Eco-

Environment of Purple Soil of the Ministry of Agriculture of China in the farm of 

Southwest University in Chongqing, was conducted in situ for one year. Mulching and non-

mulching treatments were set in the field, and the seasonal variation of 

CH<inf>4</inf>flux and CH<inf>4</inf>concentrations in the soil profile and the seasonal 

changes in soil moisture and temperature were observed for different treatments to 

explore the effect of plastic film mulching on soil moisture and temperature. The results 

showed that plastic film mulching can significantly improve the surface soil temperature 

during the pepper growing season in spring and summer (P&lt;0.01), but no significant 

difference was seen during the radish growing season in autumn and winter (P&gt;0.05). 

The soil moisture of the plastic film mulching treatment was significantly higher than 

that of no mulching in the radish growing season (P&lt;0.05), but no significant 

difference was observed for the pepper growing season (P&gt;0.05). During the whole 

observation period and under the condition of plastic film mulching and conventional 

planting, the CH<inf>4</inf>flux from soil had no significant seasonal variation under 

all treatments, and the mean CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes were-7.64 &mu;g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and-9.00 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)

<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The cumulative CH<inf>4</inf>emissions for plastic film 

mulching and conventional planting were-0.54 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>and-0.64 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, in the whole observation period, and all the 

treatments showed a net absorption of CH<inf>4</inf>for the whole observation period. The 

results showed that the plastic film mulching could weaken the ability of 

CH<inf>4</inf>as a sink of the CH<inf>4</inf>for the whole observation period. The 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentrations in different soil profiles were in the order 10 cm&gt;20 

cm&gt;30 cm, and the concentrations of CH<inf>4</inf>change patterns in different soil 

layers were almost identical during the whole observation period. The 

CH<inf>4</inf>concentrations at the depths of 20 cm and 30 cm under the plastic film 

mulching soil were significantly lower than those under no mulching soil (P&lt;0.05), but 

no significant difference was observed for the depth of 10 cm (P&gt;0.05). Correlation 

analysis showed that, under the plastic film mulching conditions, CH<inf>4</inf>flux and 

the 5 cm geothermal showed significant positive correlation (P&lt;0.05), but 

CH<inf>4</inf>flux and soil moisture showed significant negative correlation (P&lt;0.05). 

However, under the conventional cultivation conditions, there were no correlations 

between CH<inf>4</inf>flux and the 5 cm geothermal or soil moisture. There was also 

significant positive correlation between CH<inf>4</inf>concentration in the 10 cm and 20 

cm depth soil layers with the CH<inf>4</inf>concentration in surface soil (P&lt;0.01), 

and the CH<inf>4</inf>concentration in the 30 cm depth soil layer had significant 

positive correlation with the surface soil temperatures and the 5 cm geothermal. There 

was no significant correlation between soil CH<inf>4</inf>concentration and soil water 

content.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Soil nitrification and denitrification are important steps in closing the 

nitrogen cycle. Understanding the effects of CaCO<inf>3</inf>application on the 

physicochemical properties and nitrogen cycle in acid soil would provide some theoretical 

and technical information for stable and sustainable utilization of this agricultural 

soil. In this study, a field trial was conducted in Xiangtan city, Hunan province. In 

this field, the soil pH was 5.54, and CaCO<inf>3</inf>was applied at four levels: 0, 

2.25, 4.5, and 7.5 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>. After one season of rice cultivation, the 

soil was sampled to determine dissolved organic carbon (DOC), NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N levels, and the potential nitrification rate 

(PNR) and denitrifying enzyme activity (DEA) were measured. The results showed that 

CaCO<inf>3</inf>application improved the content of soil DOC (762.10-868.58 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) and PNR [0.59-0.82 &mu;g&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>]. 

However, excessive application of CaCO<inf>3</inf>(7.5 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>) revealed 

an obvious inhibition on the activity of soil nitrification. Furthermore, the result of 

Pearson correlation analysis indicated that soil nitrification was positively correlated 

with soil DOC and negatively correlated with NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N content, 

whereas denitrification had a significant positive correlation with NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N content and soil DOC, but a negative correlation with water content.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:In order to study adaptability and recovery capability of high-efficiency 

denitrifying bacteria and their embedding filler to low temperature and low substrate 

concentration, a test was performed under two conditions (favorable and unfavorable) and 

three stages (D<inf>1</inf>, D<inf>2</inf>, and D<inf>3</inf>) to explore the 

denitrifying capability of the bacteria. The favorable condition was a reacting 

temperature of 30&#8451;, a nitrate concentration of 300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and a 

C/N ratio of 10; and the unfavorable condition was a reacting temperature of 4&#8451;, a 

nitrate concentration of 30 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and a C/N ratio of 5. In stage 

D<inf>1</inf>, high-efficiency denitrifying bacteria [300 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>], which were cultured at favorable condition, were placed under the unfavorable 

condition. In stage D<inf>2</inf>, the bacteria were embedded after the denitrifying 

performance was stable, and then this embedded filler was placed under the unfavorable 

condition and recovered in the favorable condition (D<inf>3</inf>) after 90 days. The 

results show that the denitrification rates of stages D<inf>1</inf>and 

D<inf>2</inf>finally stabilized at 5.4 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 4.8 

mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, after operation for 17 d and 16 d, 

indicating that the bacteria and their embedding filler adapted to the unfavorable 

conditions of low temperature and low substrate concentration. In stage D<inf>3</inf>, 

the denitrifying rate of the filler reached 300 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>after 

operation for only 12 d, indicating that the filler had rapid self-recovery capability. 

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze the internal and external 

structures of the embedding filler and it was determined that both the internal and 

external structures were favorable for bacterial growth metabolism and mass transfer. The 

high-throughput sequencing analysis results show that the dominant genera in stage 

D<inf>2</inf>were still Pseudomonas, Thauera, and Gelidibacter, which have denitrifying 

functions, thereby indicating adaptability of the bacteria under the unfavorable 

condition. The dominant genera Thauera, Petrimonas, and Pseudomonas of the embedding 

filler in stage D<inf>3</inf>were identical to the dominant genera of the high-efficiency 

denitrifying bacteria cultured under the initial favorable condition, which also showed 

that the bacteria embedding filler had good recovery capability.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Soil ammonia oxidizers, as key players for the ammonia oxidation process in soil 

N cycling, could respond, adapt, and give feedback to global change. In this research, 

soil samples were collected from a long-term field experiment with increased 

precipitation and warming in a temperate steppe of Inner Mongolia. We analyzed the 

responses of the abundance, diversity, and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing 

archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to warming and increased precipitation 

using quantitative real-time PCR, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-

RFLP), and clone library. The results showed that increased precipitation significantly 

stimulated soil pH and warming significantly reduced soil respiration (SR). No 

significant difference was detected regarding the abundances of amoA genes across all 

treatments, whereas increased precipitation significantly affected the community 

structure of soil AOB. However, the interactive effect between warming and increased 

precipitation had no significant influence on the community structure of soil ammonia 

oxidizers. The result of the structural equation model indicated that the plant diversity 

and community structures of soil ammonia oxidizers were significantly correlated, 

suggesting that there were certain relationships among climate change, microbes, and 

plants. In conclusion, this study confirmed that soil microorganisms had the ability to 

adapt to climate change, which could provide important information for predicting future 

changes in ecosystems.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Water samples were collected in summer, autumn, winter, and spring in Beihai 

Lake for the analysis of water quality and microbial community structure. It was found 

that the water quality in summer and autumn was worse than in winter and spring, and TN 

and TP were the most important factors affecting the water quality. The microbial 

community structure was investigated using MiSeq high-throughput sequencing. It was found 

that the phyla Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were 

abundant in all the samples, whereas their relative abundances differed among the four 

seasons. In summer and autumn, the microbial diversities were higher, and the phylum 

Cyanobacteria was most abundant, with the genus Synechococcus dominant. In winter, the 

phylum Proteobacteria was dominant. In spring, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were 

abundant, accounting for 51.5%-64.3% of the bacterial community. The redundancy analysis 

(RDA) results showed that the microbial communities were mostly affected by water 

temperature in Beihai Lake. Overall, the water quality of Beihai Lake was qualified for 

the use of landscape water. However, the abundance of Synechococcus in summer may lead to 

algal blooms. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and estimation of water 

quality in Beihai Lake.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Thermal stratification leads to significant stratification characteristics of 

hydrochemistry and aquatic organisms in reservoirs, and thus affects the biogeochemical 

cycle in the reservoir. This study aims to understand physico-chemical properties and 

dissolved inorganic carbon change processes and its factors in a karst groundwater-fed 

reservoir, Dalongdong Reservoir, located in Shanglin County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous 

Region, China. The eight sampling points were placed along the direction of the water 

flow on June 19-21, 2015. The results show that: &#9312; The reservoir exhibited obvious 

thermal stratification in the summer. There were significant differences in physical and 

chemical parameters, such as pH and conductivity (Spc) between the epilimnion and 

thermocline; &#9313; The dissolved oxygen (DO) and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) content from the 

surface to the bottom did not show a single decreasing trend, but the maximum value 

occurred 2.5 m or 5 m below the surface; &#9314; From the surface to the bottom, 

dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations showed an increasing trend with the 

average DIC concentration of 2.03 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in the epilimnion and the 

average DIC concentration of 4.18 mmol&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>at the bottom of the 

thermocline. The value of stable carbon isotope (&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>) was 

more positive in the epilimnion than in the thermocline, where 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>gradually became partially negative with water depth. 

Possible reasons of these results include: &#9312; The significant differences in 

temperature, distribution of aquatic organisms, and strength and direction of metabolisms 

in different water layers due to thermal stratification; &#9313; The DIC variations in 

the epilimnion were mainly affected by the carbonate precipitation process and 

phytoplankton photosynthesis, thereby affecting the DIC stable isotope fractionation. DIC 

was mainly controlled by biological respiration and the organic matter decomposition 

process in the thermocline.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To investigate the rhizosphere microbial community structure characteristics in 

varying combinations of plants and filter materials in the process of aquaculture pond 

water treatment, six types of wetland microcosms were established using two kinds of 

plants (Zizania latifolia Turcz. and Sagittaria graminea) and two types of filter 

materials (garnet and magnetite). High-throughput sequencing technology was used to 

analyze the microbial structural features and composition diversity of the wetland 

rhizosphere. The results were as follows. The microorganisms recovered belonged to 52 

phyla, 118 classes, 455 families, 905 genera, and 1 426 species. Based on the Shannon 

index, Zizania latifolia Turcz. (average value: 5.77) had a higher capacity than 

Sagittaria graminea(average value: 5.29) in terms of microbial enrichment. However, the 

rate of Proteobacteria in the rhizosphere microorganism communities of the Sagittaria 

graminea and Zizania latifolia Turcz. microcosms were 61.97% and 51.78%, respectively, 

further showing that the roots of Sagittaria graminea in the wetland microcosms better 

enriched the Proteobacteria during the experimental period. The major bacterial groups of 

different plant roots were enriched with &beta;-Proteobacteria in the experiment. The 

results of this study provide a theoretical basis for species optimization in artificial 

wetland systems and best combination of wetland construction that will be useful for 

future investigations.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, by monitoring carbon transportation and its rainfall-runoff 

process during the rainy season in Loess Plateau's Yangjuangou dam watershed, we analyzed 

changes in carbon transportation driven by rainfall and further evaluated the C loss flux 

for the dam watershed. Results showed that the monthly C wet deposition flux for the wet 

and dry seasons were 3.33 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>and 2.18 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, 

respectively, which were only small contributions to C transportation for the watershed. 

C transportation under the rainfall-runoff process in this watershed can reach 944.89 

kg&middot;km<sup>-2</sup>and 300.29 kg&middot;km<sup>-2</sup>in August and September, 

respectively. Different intensities of rainfall runoff lead to different C loss 

processes, wherein dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the main C form. Under small 

rainfall events, the output of dissolved total carbon (DTC) in this watershed was 156.98 

kg&middot;km<sup>-2</sup>; and the output of moderate rainfall events was 284.60 

kg&middot;km<sup>-2</sup>. Finally, we determined that the C loss modulus of the 

Yangjuangou watershed was 1.89 kg&middot;(km<sup>2</sup>&middot;mon)<sup>-1</sup>in the 

rainy season, thus the C loss modulus for the study area could reach 2.70 kg&middot;

Abstract:The on-road emissions of typical alkanes from 11 heavy-duty diesel vehicles with 

different emission standards (from China I to China IV;) were tested using a portable 

emission measurement system(PEMS) and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 

(GC-MS). Our aim was to analyze the emission characteristics of typical alkanes in 

heavy-duty diesel vehicle exhaust. The results show that the emission standard 

significantly affected the emission factors (EFs) of n-alkanes and hopanes. Vehicles with 

higher emission standards had lower EFs. Compared with China I vehicles, the total EFs of 

n-alkanes, 17&alpha;(H), 21&beta;(H)-C30 hopane (C30-hopane), and 22S-and 22R-17&alpha;

(H), 21&beta;(H)-homohopane (22S-C31 and 22R-C31 homohopane) from China IV; vehicles were 

significantly reduced by 72.23%, 64.95%, 70.78%, and 74.68%, respectively. The peak 

carbon numbers of gaseous n-alkanes were 17 to 18, while they were 18 to 21 in 

particulate n-alkanes. The 22S-C31 homohopane/(22S-C31 homohopane + 22R-C31 homohopane) 

ratios ranged from 0.46 to 0.56, with an average of 0.50, which conform to the 

characteristics of hopanes in petroleum. The total EFs of n-alkanes had a good linear 

relationship with the total EFs of C30-hopane, and the R<sup>2</sup>was 0.9268. 

Furthermore, the driving conditions had a great influence on the emissions of n-alkanes 

and hopanes. Specifically, the EFs of n-alkanes and hopanes on non-highway roads were 

1.69 to 2.42 times greater than those on highways.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The atmospheric dry deposition flux pollution levels were determined and the 

sources apportioned for 15 US EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 

collected at 13 sampling sites in the Lanzhou valley using passive sampling techniques. 

The results are as follows. The annual atmospheric dry deposition fluxes ranged from 7.48 

to 53.94 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, with a mean of 18.65 

&mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. The highest flux levels for both the 

heating and non-heating seasons, 60.85 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>and 47.03 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, 

appeared at the traffic site (Donggang Bridge), where the heaviest traffic in the Lanzhou 

valley occurs. The lowest flux levels of 8.16 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>and 6.80 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>for the heating 

and non-heating seasons, respectively, were found at Baita Mountain, which has a higher 

percentage of vegetation cover. Meanwhile, the flux levels at the background site 

(Guantangou Mountain) were significantly lower than those of the other sampling sites. 

For dry deposition, the PAH components Phe, Flua, Flu, and Pyr were dominant in the 

heating and non-heating periods, and the sums of the percentages of 3-and 4-ring PAHs 

were 87.53% for the heating season and 82.73% for the non-heating season. Moreover, the 

percentage of 5-and 6-ring PAHs for the non-heating period was higher than that for the 

heating period, which may be because the lighter PAHs were easily volatilized, and thus 

escaped. Furthermore, the sources of atmospheric dry deposition were identified by 

principal component analysis (PCA). The results of source apportionment showed that the 

main atmospheric PAH dry deposition in the Lanzhou valley were from vehicle exhaust 

emissions, coal combustion, and the coking industry. In further detail, coal combustion 

and the coking industry contributed most of the PAH dry deposition emissions during the 

heating period except for the traffic area site of Donggang Bridge, whereas vehicle 

exhaust was the dominant contributor during the non-heating season. In addition, the 

annual average dry deposition velocities of atmospheric PAHs were calculated using the 

dry deposition model for three sites: 0.20 cm&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>downtown 

(Environmental Protection Agency of Lanzhou; JCZ), 0.15 cm&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>in an 

industrial area (Lanyuan Hotel of Xigu; LLH), and 0.17 cm&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>in a 

traffic area (the Staff Hospital of Gansu Province; ZGH), of which the latter two were 

relatively lower because of comprehensive meteorological factors such as wind speed, 

temperature, and land use categories. Regarding the dry deposition flux values of the 3-

and 4-ring PAHs, the simulated values were a bit larger than the observed values, but all 

were at the same level of magnitude. However, the simulated flux values were closer to 

their observed values for 4-ring PAHs than for 3-ring PAHs, which indicated that 3-ring 

PAHs were lost more easily than 4-ring PAHs were during monitoring.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:This research undertook a life cycle assessment (LCA) for lead-acid batteries 

(LABs) used in electric bikes, the fastest growing LABs in China. A cradle-to-grave LCA 

model was established to identify the key materials or processes that contribute most to 

environmental impacts within the life cycle of LABs, including material production, 

battery manufacture, transportation, use, and end-of-life. A large amount of primary data 

obtained from enterprisers and a Chinese LCA database were used in this research to 

reflect the status of technology and environmental management for the related industries 

in China. The results indicate that material production and LAB use dominate in resource 

consumption and environmental impacts during the life cycle of LABs. Material production 

is the most important driver of such impacts as abiotic resources depletion (699%), 

eutrophication (89%), photochemical smog production (98%), ozone depletion (117%), total 

human toxicity (159%), and ecological toxicity (484%). Battery use is responsible for 83% 

of primary energy use and contributes the highest potentials to the impacts related to 

energy, including global warming potential (86%) and acidification potential (70%). 

Recovery of materials at the end-of-life stage will significantly mitigate the overall 

life cycle impacts by reducing virgin material consumption. Based on the findings, there 

are several substantial opportunities to reduce the overall environmental impacts of 

batteries, such as prolonging the lifetime of batteries, reducing the metal consumption 

in batteries, and improving the technology and management in recovery of end-of-life 

batteries.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The spectral characteristics of fractionated colloids in wastewaters from 

Huangpu River were isolated and investigated via cross flow ultrafiltration systems with 

different molecular mass of membranes and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix 

fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that the colloidal concentration (CC) and 

colloidal organic carbon content (COC) of all size fractions in all samples were in the 

ranges 9.60-32.50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.03-6.25 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Moreover, both CC and COC values increased as the colloidal size increased. 

The protein-(i.e., peaks D and T) and humic-like (peaks C and A) materials were present 

in all the size fractions (except for the M<inf>r</inf>300&times;10<sup>3</sup>-1 &mu;m 

size fraction of the influent sample), of which protein-and humic-like materials were 

mainly in the M<inf>r</inf>1&times;10<sup>3</sup>-5&times;10<sup>3</sup>and 

M<inf>r</inf>10&times;10<sup>3</sup>-300&times;10<sup>3</sup>size fractions, 

respectively. In addition, fluorescence indices (including the fluorescence index (FI), 

humification index (HIX), and the index of recent autochthonous contribution (BIX)) were 

introduced to determine the source and spectral characteristic of the selected colloids. 

These indices indicated that the relatively small colloids with high aromaticity and 

hydrophobicity mainly originated from terrestrial sources, whereas the relatively large 

colloids were predominantly from the recent autochthonous organic matter and the 

protein-like components.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To elucidate the functional group characteristics of planktonic diatoms and 

their relationship with environment factors in the Ruxi River, multivariate statistical 

analysis and functional group classification were conducted in this study. The success 

pattern of a diatom functional group and its driving factor were analyzed for the Ruxi 

River, a typical tributary of Three Gorges Reservoir, after the phytoplankton community 

and environmental variables were investigated at three different stages: level water 

period (April 2014), dry season (December 2014), and wet season (July 2014), based on the 

characteristic of water level. The results showed that there were 10 diatom functional 

groups in the Ruxi River: the A, B, C, D, L<inf>o</inf>, MP, P, T<inf>B</inf>, X3, and S1 

groups, and among them, MP was the most groups, but the dominant group was D group. 

Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that &rho;(TN) in the water column was 

the primary factor significantly affecting the densities in the normal water period, 

whereas turbidity, alkalinity, and pH significantly influenced the functional group 

densities in the normal water period. In the high water period, however, transparency was 

the most important environmental factor affecting the functional group densities. 

Additionally, the results of RDA analysis found that water temperature, electrical 

conductivity (Spc), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), &rho;(DO), and &rho;

(NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) were the main environmental factors that influenced the 

diversity of diatom functional groups in the Ruxi River. These results suggested that 

functional groups could well reflect the habitat characteristics of the Ruxi River and 

the effect of the nutrient element, nitrogen, to the success of phytoplankton functional 

groups and changes of water quality in the Ruxi River should be paid more attention.<br/>

Abstract:Ecological enzyme activities are closely relevant to the carbon and nitrogen 

decomposition and mineralization of paddy soils, which can reflect the growth and 

metabolism of microorganisms. In order to clarify the response to nitrogen application by 

different enzymes in the rhizosphere and bulk soil of rice, the rhizosphere and bulk soil 

were identified using a rhizosphere bag. In addition, the &beta;-1, 4-glucosidase (BG) 

enzyme; &beta;-1, 4-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) enzyme; and the effects of the 

rhizosphere, nitrogen application, and growth period on soil enzyme activities were 

analyzed. The results showed that the activity of the BG enzyme decreased by 7.4-13.5 

nmol&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>in the jointing stage and increased by 7.0-31.4 

nmol&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>in the maturity stage, and the activity of the BG 

enzyme in the rhizosphere and bulk soil also changed with the growth period of 

rice.compared with no nitrogen fertilizer, nitrogen application increased NAG enzyme 

activity by 1.1 times and rhizosphere soil by 0.3 times in the bulk soil in the maturity 

stage. Nitrogen application and growth period had significant effects on soil BG enzyme 

activity, whereas the interaction within rice growth stage, nitrogen application, and 

rhizosphere effect had significant effects on NAG enzyme activity. The result of RDA 

showed that the soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) 

contents mainly affected the activity of extracellular enzymes in the rice rhizosphere 

soil, whereas the activities of enzymes in the rhizosphere soil were mainly affected by 

microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. The relationships 

between soil enzyme activity and various factors are complex, and the effects of nitrogen 

addition on microbial community composition needs to be considered after accounting for 

plant physiological characteristics, soil enzyme activity, and soil characteristics.<br/>

Abstract:The phenomenon of simultaneous transformation of ammonium and sulfate under the 

conditions of inoculating ANAMMOX culture has gotten the attention of researchers. 

However, there are some problems and doubts reported in the related literature. In this 

study, the characteristics of ammonium and sulfate synchronous transformation were 

investigated in a CFSTR via inoculation with ANAMMOX culture. Under the condition of 

oxygen removal and non-filling, in the unfilled sealed fermentation tank, the average 

conversion of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N was 50.8 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>while that of 

sulfate-sulfur was 4.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Elemental analysis results showed that 

the observed yellow solid was not elemental sulfur but rather iron-containing compounds. 

However, no obvious change of ammonium was observed when using a filled sealed batch 

reactor. Only sulfate transformed significantly, and the transformation rate was affected 

by the inoculation biomass. Under these two conditions, the ORP in the reactor was 

completely different. This is an indication that the synchronous transformation of 

ammonium and sulfate observed in both our study and other related studies is probably not 

a process mediated by ANAMMOX organisms, in which sulfate acted as the electron acceptor 

to oxidize ammonium. Actually, ammonium and sulfate transformation were completely 

independent: ammonium oxidation is due to the micro oxygen environment created by the 

reactor operation form, whereas sulfate conversion is attributed to the sulfate 

heterotrophic reduction that results from the organic matter release via microbial decay. 

This transformation can clarify and explain the problems and doubts reported in the 

related research.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The goal of the present study was to explore the effects of traffic-related air 

pollution exposure on DNA methylation. Into five groups of 6, 30 healthy Wistar rats were 

randomly divided. Three groups of rats were then exposed to traffic-related air pollution 

at high (tunnel), moderate (crossroad), and low (control) pollution levels for 7 d, 

whereas the two other groups were exposed in the tunnel for 14 d/28 d. The levels of 

PM<inf>10</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>were measured during the exposure. The study was 

performed in spring and autumn, and lung tissue and blood were collected after the 

exposure. Promoter methylation levels of p53, MGMT, and MAGE-A4 were quantified via 

pyrosequencing. The levels of PM<inf>10</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>in the crossroad and 

tunnel groups were significantly higher than those in the control group. After 7 d 

exposure in autumn, promoter methylation levels of p53 and MGMT in lung tissue 

significantly decreased, and the methylation status continued to decrease with increasing 

exposure time; MAGE-A4 was highly methylated and showed no difference among the three 

groups. DNA methylation in lung tissue was more likely to be changed compared with that 

in blood during 7 d exposure. As the exposure time increased, DNA methylation changes 

between blood and lung tissue started to coincide. In lung tissue, 

PM<inf>10</inf>exposure was significantly associated with decreased p53 promoter 

methylation (r=-0.347, P=0.038) and NO<inf>2</inf>exposure was significantly associated 

with decreased promoter methylation of p53, MGMT, and MAGE-A4(r=-0.482, -0.444, and-

0.346, respectively; P&lt;0.05). In blood, PM<inf>10</inf>and NO<inf>2</inf>were 

significantly and positively associated with MAGE-A4 promoter methylation (r=0.395 and 

0.431, respectively; P&lt;0.05). Traffic-related air pollution exposure may induce 

promoter hypomethylation of p53 and MGMT.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Cultivating microalgae using municipal wastewater can achieve not only treatment 

of the wastewater but also recovery of algae for use as a biofuel energy source. 

Wastewater provides necessary nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and water for 

microalgal growth. Because of the complexity of components of municipal wastewater, 

variety of adaptability, and tolerance to wastewater of different microalgal species, it 

is necessary to select a suitable microalgal species with high performance in lipid 

production and identify proper pretreatment of the wastewater to achieve high lipid 

production using municipal wastewater for algal biofuel production. Based on microalgal 

growth, lipid production, and clean-up performance of wastewater, we selected Scenedesmus 

obliquus wild strain and Chlorella pyrenoidosa mutant by ion beam implantation from a 

test group for the biofuel production. Laboratory test results showed that S. obliquus 

wild strain and C. pyrenoidosa mutant had respective lipid productions of 0.43 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.33 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with more C16-C18 fatty acids, 

which were suitable for biodiesel production. The pollutant removals from the wastewater 

by S. obliquus wild strain and C. pyrenoidosa mutant were COD, 86.4% vs. 81.8%; 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, 100.0% vs. 100.0%; TN, 94.3% vs. 94.9%; and TP, 93.4% vs. 

94.2% respectively. The two different microalgal strains required different 

pretreatments. After removal of large particles, the raw wastewater could be directly 

used for the cultivation of S. obliquus wild strain. To grow C. pyrenoidosa mutant with 

municipal wastewater, pretreatment procedures including precipitation followed by 

filtration should be employed.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The effects of total organic carbon content (TOC) on the migration of polycyclic 

aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the soil were investigated. This study analyzed the 

vertical properties of the concentrations and distributions of PAHs and TOC at various 

soil profiles from functionally different environmental regions including nature 

reserves, ploughs, orchards, farmlands, metropolitan areas, and industrial parks. The 

vertical migration properties of PAHs in soils were examined by conducting leaching 

experiments in soil columns. The concentrations of PAHs varied from region to region and 

showed strong, positive correlations with TOC in the same region. Furthermore, based on 

the leaching experiments, the transport abilities of PAHs were significantly influenced 

by TOC, although they could all be transported to the deep layers by TOC in soil columns. 

The downward migration of PAHs decreased with the increase in TOC and vice versa. The 

properties of the composition and structure of PAHs also had an obvious influence on 

their residues and migration in soil profiles at the same TOC conditions. In addition, 

the transport of PAHs was related to the amount of leaching water, the leaching time, and 

the additional PAHs.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In recent years, with the rapid increase in automobile volume, vehicle emissions 

have become one of the major emission sources of urban air pollution in China. In China, 

most of the national and provincial roads have been the channels that connect different 

cities. Up until 2015, the length of national and provincial roads have reached 

1.85&times;10<sup>5</sup>km and 3.29&times;10<sup>5</sup>km, respectively, accounting for 

13% of the mileage of all classified highways. Therefore, active research on vehicle 

emissions from national and provincial roads between cities in China is of great 

significance. Few studies have been conducted on air pollutant emissions from intercity 

vehicles. In this study, emission characteristics of intercity vehicles were investigated 

based on traffic monitoring data and the &ldquo;calculation guide of air pollutant 

emission for road vehicles&rdquo;. The results showed that the CO, NO<inf>x</inf>, PM, 

and HC emissions accounted for 4.5%, 27.9%, 14.4%, and 7.7% of national vehicle 

emissions, respectively. There were significant differences in emission contributions 

among different types of intercity vehicles. Heavy trucks were major contributors to 

NO<inf>x</inf>, PM<inf>10</inf>, and PM<inf>2.5</inf>emissions and motorcycles 

contributed most to CO and HC. Furthermore, there were significant differences in 

emission contributions of vehicle types on different road types; the major contributor of 

CO and HC emissions was small passenger cars on expressways. Motorcycles were the main 

contributors to CO and HC emissions on ordinary roads.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Electrosorption has the advantage of high adsorption capacity and electrode 

regeneration in the removal of heavy metal ions in water. In this study, graphene 

hydrogels (GS) were prepared by hydrothermal reduction of graphene oxide (GO) suspensions 

and the electrode was obtained via compression of GS. Various electrochemical properties 

of GS were tested. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the electrosorption of 

Pb<sup>2+</sup>on GS electrode and GS electrode reusability were investigated. The 

results showed excellent capacitive behavior (200.4 F&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at 1 

A&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) of GS. The electrosorption performance of GS indicated that high 

voltage was favored for the removal of Pb<sup>2+</sup>and the highest removal efficiency 

reached 96.4% when the voltage value was -1.2 V. The electrosorption capacity for 

Pb<sup>2+</sup>removal was found to be 461.20 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, which was twice 

as high as the saturated adsorption capacity of GS. The GS electrode could regenerate 

after electrosorption when the voltage value was+1.2 V and the removal efficiency of 

Pb<sup>2+</sup>was still maintained above 95% after electrosorption-desorption for 15 

cycles.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The impacts of reactive nitrogen (Nr) on the environment significantly increase 

with population and rapid urbanization. In order to study gaseous Nr and Nr loads to 

waterbodies at the provincial scale, we established anthropogenic emission inventories in 

prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province and analyzed the changes in Nr emissions for 

the years 2000, 2005, and 2010. The total Nr emissions were calculated as 538.4, 587.0, 

and 620.0 Gg in those three years, respectively. The emissions of Nr increased in nine 

prefecture-level cities except in Zhangzhou. Among these nine cities, Putian is the 

fastest growing one. The largest emitters were Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, while Ningde and 

Xiamen were the smallest ones. Agricultural ecosystems and livestock were the main 

sources of Nr emissions, both of them accounting for more than 90% of total anthropogenic 

Nr emissions. Despite rapid growth, energy activities had a minor contribution to total 

Nr emissions. The per area Nr emissions of each prefecture-level city were highest in 

Xiamen in the southeast coastal area and lowest in Sanming located in the northwest 

inland region in 2010. However, the patterns of GDP, population, and emission intensities 

showed the opposite trends to per area Nr emissions, lowest in Xiamen and highest in 

Nanping. We further discussed the significance of Nr emissions reductions in different 

areas based on the analysis of the characteristics of Nr emission sources in prefecture-

level cities. The results provide a scientific basis for reducing Nr emissions in Fujian 

Province and its prefecture-level cities.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Understanding the seasonal variations in active heavy metal components and 

sensitive impact factors is of importance for the ecological risk reduction during the 

agricultural production processes. Paddy fields, vegetable lands, and hilly forests were 

selected as three main land cover types to assess the seasonal characteristics of Cd 

bioavailability and reveal how or to what extent it was affected by the physiochemical 

parameters of soils, under different land-use types in a typical Cd-contaminated 

watershed in the middle and lower reaches of Xiangjiang River. One-year in situ 

monitoring results showed that natural rainfall pH in winter and spring was lower than in 

summer and autumn in the study region. The total Cd content of paddy soils was 

significantly higher than that of the vegetable soil, while the hilly forest soil showed 

the lowest total Cd value. Similar seasonal variations in total Cd content were found in 

three soil types with slightly lower summer and autumn concentrations than spring and 

winter values, but no obvious correlation was detected between the total and the 

available Cd components. The paddy soil available Cd concentration during the 5-9-month 

crop growth season was significantly lower than the other months of the year, while 

vegetable cultivation and hilly forest soils showed the opposite trend. E<inf>h</inf>was 

the key factor that had a positive influence on the Cd activity in paddy soil. Soil TOC 

concentration was negatively correlated with soil activity in vegetable soil. TOC, water 

soluble organic carbon, showed a significant positive correlation with Cd effectiveness. 

The results provide scientific references for Cd contamination control and safe 

agricultural production.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:For revealing the characteristics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in 

wastewater treatment systems, real-time PCR was adopted to investigate the variation of 

abundances of cell-associated ARGs and cell-free ARGs, in a municipal wastewater 

treatment system (M for short) and a coking wastewater treatment system (C for short). In 

system M, the absolute abundances of the cell-associated ARGs, sulII, tetC, blaPSE-1, and 

ermB, were much higher than those of the cell-free fractions in the influent. The 

biological treatment process did not enrich antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARBs) and 

membrane filtration of the MBR effectively reduced both cell-associated and cell-free DNA 

in water. The total ARGs removal was 2.54-4.95 logs. In system C, the biological 

treatment process enriched the sulII-carried ARBs; however, the relative and absolute 

abundances of cell-free sulII were decreased. The succeeding process, coagulation-sand 

filtration, decreased the absolute abundance of cell-associated sulII, but increased the 

absolute abundance of cell-free sulII in water. The proportion of cell-free sulII in 

total sulII gene increased from 0.05% in the biological treatment effluent to 1.33% in 

the sand filtration effluent and further increased to 9.31% after the effluent was kept 

at 25&#8451; and at dark for five days. The ratio of cell-free ARGs to total ARGs 

increased with deep removal of ARBs and lysis of residual cells. The risk of ARG 

proliferation by cell-free DNA in the effluent needs further evaluation.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Three types of biochars, poplar branch biochar (PBC), water hyacinth biochar 

(WHC), and corn straw biochar (CSC), were prepared in a fixed-bed pyrolyzer at different 

pyrolysis temperatures (300-700&#8451;). The effects of biochar species, pyrolysis 

temperature, and biochar addition on adsorption characteristics of typical heavy metals 

(HMs) such as Pb and Zn in vegetable soil (collected from a lead-zinc-silver mining area, 

Nanjing, China) were investigated. The adsorption mechanism of biochar on HMs was 

discussed based on the analyses of pore structure, XRD, and FTIR of biochars. WHC biochar 

showed the best adsorption ability at the same experimental conditions with adsorption 

efficiencies on Zn and Pb of 21.83% and 44.57%, respectively. The relative adsorption 

capacities of Zn and Pb were 227.65 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 363.76 

&mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at the pyrolysis temperature of 500&#8451; and biochar 

addition of 5%. The adsorption efficiency of biochar on HMs in soil increased gradually 

with increasing pyrolysis temperature. WHC biochars prepared at 500&#8451; and 700&#8451; 

had similar adsorption capacities on Zn and Pb in soil indicating that the moderate 

pyrolysis may be a good choice for WHC with better physicochemical properties. Increasing 

the amount of WHC addition benefits the adsorption efficiency of HMs in soil, but does 

not increase the adsorption capacity. The adsorption efficiency of Pb in soil reaches 

93.93% by adding 10% of WHC into the soil sample. The combined analyses based on the 

physicochemical properties of biochar and the results of soil HMs adsorption experiments 

suggest that ion exchange and complexation are prevailing mechanisms of the remediation 

of HM-contaminated soil by WHC biochars.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:High-efficiency denitrifying bacteria can improve wastewater treatment 

efficiency. In order to rapidly culture high-efficiency denitrifying bacteria, batch 

trials were conducted at different carbon sources (No. 1 and No. 2 fermented liquid) and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentration gradients (30 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>-150 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>-300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). The results showed that No. 2 

fermented liquid could finish high-efficiency denitrifying bacteria [300 mg&middot;

(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>] cultivation in 11 d, which is 17 d before No.1 fermented 

liquid could. At the same time, high-efficiency denitrifying bacteria could effectively 

remove ammonia-nitrogen and total phosphorus, and maximum removal rates were 34.43 

mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 2.98 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing was employed to characterize and 

compare the community structure and diversity. The species abundance and diversity were 

reduced but the category and proportion of denitrifying bacteria were increased. In 

addition, bacteria composition and quantity changed after cultivation and Thauera and 

Pseudomonas were the dominant contributors to the effective removal of nitrate in the 

SBR(sequencing batch reactor). Denitrifying phosphorus accumulating bacteria 

(Rhodocyclaceae and Pseudomonadaceae) and heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria (Pseudomonas, 

Alcaligenes, Bacillus, and Comamonas) proved the capacity of the system to remove 

ammonia-nitrogen and total phosphorus.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Samples of wastes and leachates were collected from a landfill site and a 

leachate treatment plant [i.e., equalization basin, anaerobic zone, oxidation ditch, and 

membrane bioreactor (MBR) section]. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was extracted from the 

wastes and leachates, and its composition, evolution, and complexation characteristics 

with heavy metals were studied using UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy combined 

with<sup>1</sup>H nuclear magnetic resonance. The aliphatic compounds were found to be 

the main substances in DOM in the fresh landfill wastes (&lt;5 a), and the relative 

content of aromatics and substituent groups, i.e., carbonyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl 

functional groups, decreased during the initial process. On the other hand, carbohydrates 

and organic amines were observed to be the main substances in DOM obtained from the 

intermediate and old landfill wastes (&gt;5 a), and the relative content of aromatics and 

substituent groups (carbonyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl functional groups) increased 

persistently during the process of organic matter humification. The aliphatics, 

carbohydrates, and organic amines all existed in DOM from the equalization basin 

Carbohydrates and aromatic compounds increased rapidly after the anaerobic, aerobiotic, 

and membrane treatment. However, low molecular weight organic matter and alkyl chain 

substances decreased during the leachate treatment process and the side chain of the 

aliphatics was shortened despite the increase in its content. The distribution of zinc in 

the wastes and leachates was influenced by the complexation with the nitrogen-and 

oxygen-containing functional groups, whose effect on other metals was not obvious.<br/>

Abstract:An ABR-MBR integrated reactor based on a combination of the anaerobic baffled 

reactor (ABR) with the microbial phase separation and membrane bioreactor (MBR) with 

high-effect entrapment was constructed and the circulation and interactivity of the 

combined process were examined by adding nitrate recycling and sludge reflux. By 

increasing the influent COD to adjust the COD/TN ratio, the influence of the mechanism on 

the denitrifying phosphorus removal performance under the condition of continuous-flow 

was investigated. The results showed that the average effluent concentration of soluble 

phosphorus under different influent C/N conditions were 0.22, 0.34, 0.39, 0.42, and 2.45 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the low influent C/N ratio was beneficial to phosphate 

removal. When the influent C/N was 4.8-6.0, the average removal rates of COD, TN, and 

soluble PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3-</sup>-P were more than 87%, 76%, and 93%. In addition, when 

the influent C/N ratio was 3.6-6.0, the removal of TN was proportional to the anoxic 

phosphorus uptake of ABR and conducive to the removal of TN after increasing the influent 

COD concentration. Higher C/N ratios of the influent improved the removal of TN at this 

stage. Finally, the C/N ratio of 6 was suggested to achieve the simultaneous removal of 

nitrogen and phosphorus.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Reactive nitrogen and sulfur compounds are chemically active in the atmosphere 

and play an important role in secondary particle formation. Among them, sulfate, nitrate, 

and ammonium (SNA) are important components of particulate matter (PM) that account for 

approximately one-third of fine particles. The precursors of SNA including 

HNO<inf>3</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>, and NH<inf>3</inf>are all involved in haze formation in 

China. To date, the concurrent measurements of SNA and their precursors have been limited 

to single sites and short terms because of the high cost of the instruments. This study 

aimed to use DELTA (Denuder for Long-Term Atmospheric sampling) to characterize the daily 

concentrations of reactive nitrogen and sulfur species during haze episodes. The results 

showed that the background interface of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>, and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>in the denuder was minor and could be used to 

determine 24-48 h concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>, HNO<inf>3</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>. However, the 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>concentrations in the blank filter was so high that they could 

only be used for sampling weekly or for longer periods of time. During the campaign 

between May 9 and June 7, 2016 in urban Beijing, the concentrations of NH<inf>3</inf>, 

HNO<inf>3</inf>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>showed 

distinct daily variations at different wind directions, i.e., higher values were observed 

during southerly winds and lower values during northerly winds. The time series of these 

reactive nitrogen compounds coincided with that of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, CO, SO<inf>2</inf>, 

and NO<inf>2</inf>, indicating the combustion of fossil fuels. The mean concentrations of 

NH<inf>3</inf>, HNO<inf>3</inf>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>were twice the concentrations during clean days, further highlighting the effect of 

local emissions on the urban environment. The ratios of 

HNO<inf>3</inf>/NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and NH<inf>3</inf>/NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>were 1.2 and 4.5, respectively, without significant differences between hazy and 

clean days. The findings demonstrated that both the reduced and oxidized nitrogen were 

preferred in gaseous phase rather than particulate phase due to relatively high 

temperatures during the transition season of spring/summer.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to investigate the effect of biochar on CH<inf>4</inf>and 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions from Lou soil, field plot experiments of winter wheat were 

conducted with five levels of biochar addition (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 t&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>). The fluxes of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O, wheat production, soil organic 

carbon, soil water content, and temperature of each soil layer were measured. The results 

showed that the fluxes of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O changed significantly in 

different growth periods of winter wheat. Compared with the control, the cumulative 

CH<inf>4</inf>uptake under the biochar amendment increased by 12.88%-71.61%. When the 

biochar addition was &ge;40 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, the cumulative CH<inf>4</inf>uptake 

was significantly higher and the highest uptake was at the level of 40 t&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>. Biochar amendment had no significant effect on cumulative N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions and the global warming potential (GDP). The greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) 

decreased by 13.24%-22.14%. The wheat yield increased by 1.72%-32.19% after biochar 

addition. When the applied biochar level was &ge;40 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>, the wheat 

yield increments were significantly higher. The biochar addition of 40 t&middot;hm<sup>-

2</sup>was the optimal level for increasing the wheat yield. The soil organic carbon and 

water content under biochar amendment increased by 1.42-2.69 times and 7.08%-11.96%, 

respectively. The results suggested that Lou soil was the sink of atmospheric 

CH<inf>4</inf>and the emission source of N<inf>2</inf>O during the winter wheat growth 

period, and the biochar level of 40 t&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>was the optimal addition 

amount.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study describes the characteristics of particulate matter and carbonaceous 

species at different air quality levels. The concentrations of PM<inf>10</inf>, 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>, PM<inf>1</inf>, and carbonaceous species in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were 

monitored on-line in Langfang City on March 1-22, 2016. The PM<inf>10</inf>, 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and PM<inf>1</inf>concentrations were 204.1 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, 107.9 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 87.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

respectively. Diurnal variations in particulate matter concentrations showed a bimodal 

distribution. In general, the mass concentrations of particulate matter and carbonaceous 

species (OC, EC, SOC, and POC) and the ratios of PM<inf>1</inf>/PM<inf>10</inf>and 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>/PM<inf>10</inf>were lower on better air quality periods. However, the 

mass concentration of PM<inf>10</inf>was the highest on moderately polluted times. The 

ratios of PM<inf>1</inf>/PM<inf>10</inf>and PM<inf>2.5</inf>/PM<inf>10</inf>reached 

minimum values on moderately polluted times.The mass concentration of OC was slightly 

lower in moderately polluted periods than slightly polluted times; it was significantly 

lower in moderately polluted periods compared to severely polluted time periods. Hourly 

concentrations of OC and EC were lower between the hours of 13:00 and 23:00 compared to 

slightly polluted and severely polluted periods. The proportion of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and 

PM<inf>1</inf>decreased in moderately polluted time periods, consistent with the 

corresponding primary pollutants. Besides, the value of OC/EC was larger than 2.0. The 

concentrations of SOC and POC estimated using the minimum OC/EC ratio were 12.2 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 5.0 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Cadmium (Cd) is classified as a Group-1 human carcinogen and rice consumption 

constitutes a major source of dietary intake of Cd for populations whose staple food is 

rice. Straw incorporation is widely performed in Cd-contaminated paddy fields, which may 

significantly affect the bioavailability of Cd in soil and the distribution of Cd in rice 

plants, consequently altering Cd accumulation in rice grains. In this study, both pot and 

field trials were conducted to investigate the effects of different amounts of straw 

incorporation (0.0%, 1.0%, 2.5%, and 5.0%) on Cd sub-cellular distribution in rice plants 

and Cd accumulation in rice grains. The results showed that Cd was mainly sequestered in 

cell wall, accounting for 86%-95% and 30%-51% of total cadmium in root and shoot cells, 

respectively. In shoot cells, about 35%-61% of Cd was distributed in cellular soluble 

fractions. When rice straw was incorporated at 1.0% and 2.5% levels, Cd sequestration in 

the cell wall significantly increased and Cd translocation from roots to shoots 

significantly decreased. However, when rice straw was incorporated at the 5% level, Cd 

sequestration in root cell walls significantly decreased and Cd translocation from roots 

to shoots significantly increased at the tillering stage. At the filling stage, 5% rice 

straw incorporation still significantly increased Cd sequestration in root cell walls and 

Cd translocation from roots to shoots did not significantly change. The rice straw and 

rape straw used for the field trail contained high concentrations of Cd (0.49 and 0.67 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively). Rape straw incorporation alone or together with 

lime did not significantly affect Cd accumulation in brown rice or rice straw. Rice straw 

incorporation alone did not significantly affect Cd accumulation in brown rice or rice 

straw, while incorporation with lime significantly decreased Cd accumulation in both 

brown rice and rice straw. Biochar application can also significantly reduce Cd 

accumulation in rice and when biochar was added together with lime, the reduction in Cd 

accumulation in rice was more significant. Therefore, at Cd-contaminated paddy fields, 

rice straw or rape straw is not suggested to be returned directly; incorporation with 

lime would be better for reducing Cd accumulation in rice grains. The results of this 

study will provide theoretical and practical guidance for the safe production of rice and 

for straw recycling at Cd-polluted paddy fields.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The source of pollutants in the Tai Lake basin and the characteristics of 

spatiotemporal variations were studied by conducting water quality monitoring in the Lihe 

River watershed to the west of Tai Lake in 2014. The dynamic changes in total phosphorus 

(TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) 

were studied in flood and non-flood seasons at five monitoring points from upstream to 

downstream. The average concentrations of TP, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, and COD were 

0.176 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 1.075 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 10.626 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>respectively, and the water quality was lower than the grade IV 

standard. From upstream to downstream, the concentrations of TP and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N gradually increased. The water quality downstream was poor, worse than the 

grade V standard; however, COD was low and met the grade IV standard. During the non-

flood season, the pollutant concentrations gradually increased from upstream to 

downstream. There was no obvious trend in flood season. Concentrations of pollutants 

gradually increased with the increase in the area of inhabited land and decrease in the 

area of forest land. The population density, livestock, and poultry production were 

significantly correlated with the concentrations of pollutants in the river. The 

pollutants in the Lihe River watershed mainly originated from human activities, and 

livestock and poultry breeding activities.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Soil moisture plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and sustainability 

of dryland ecosystems. Terracing and other similar land preparations can reshape the 

natural slope and change underlying surface into different micro-landforms, which are 

significant for rainwater harvesting, erosion control, and vegetation promotion in arid 

regions. In this study, the Longtan Watershed in Dingxi region was selected as the study 

area. Based on in situ experiments, soil sampling analysis, and modeling simulation, the 

effects of land preparation and artificial vegetation (Fish-scale pit/Adverse grade 

tableland-Platycladus orientalis) on soil moisture characteristics curves and soil 

moisture constants were quantitatively analyzed. (1)The land preparations could 

effectively improve the soil moisture content in the study catchment of Loess Plateau. 

Compared with natural slope, soil water content of land preparations increased by 

1.883%(volume fraction) on average and fish-scale pit method and adverse grade tableland 

method enhanced the soil moisture by 29.69% and 15.55%, respectively. (2) Compared with 

the natural slope, fish-scale pit and adverse grade tableland could significantly improve 

the soil hydraulic properties. After carrying out the land preparations, saturated soil 

water content and soil properties such as field capacity increased by 4.24%-11.40%, 

suggesting that land preparations can improve soil moisture and water supply ability. (3) 

Surface soil moisture characteristics were better than those of the underlying soil 

layers after land preparations. Compared with the natural slope, fish-scale pit and 

adverse grade tableland's shallow soil layer (0-20 cm) increased the moisture by 38.75% 

and 23.84%, respectively, whereas in the deep layer (60-80 cm) the increment of moisture 

were only 3.34% and 3.85%, respectively. This research provides scientific basis for 

vegetation restoration and land improvement in fragile semi-arid ecosystems.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Pyrite was used as catalyst to degrade Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) at pH 6.8 under 

visible light irradiation (&lambda;&gt;420 nm). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning 

electron microscope (SEM) characterization showed that pyrite had the layered structure. 

The ion state of pyrite before and after the reaction was identified using X-Ray 

Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), confirming the conversion process of Fe(II) to Fe(III) 

on the sulfur defect sites. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) test showed that pyrite 

photochemical reaction produced hydroxyl radical (&middot;OH). The results of high 

performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-

MS) showed that visible light irradiation could effectively activate pyrite to degrade 

MC-LR. The degradation rate of MC-LR reached 100% after 10 hours and the mineralization 

rate reached 60% after 20 hours. The two reaction pathways of photochemical oxidation of 

MC-LR by pyrite were discussed.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Soil contamination with co-existing arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) has become a 

serious environmental problem worldwide. Microorganisms play a dominant role in the redox 

transformation and mobilization of As and Sb. As and Sb belong to the same family; they 

are alike in nature and have related microbial oxidation-reduction mechanisms. However, 

limited knowledge is available about the impact of As-reducing bacteria on the fate of As 

and Sb in their co-existing soils. The purpose of this study was to explore the redox 

transformation and release of As and Sb in the presence of an arsC carrier, Pantoea sp. 

IMH, which has high As(V)-reducing capability. In addition to the IMH incubation system, 

the dead cell system and abiotic control experiments were conducted. The results showed 

that the IMH incubation reduced all soluble As(V) (72.7 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) to 

As(III) form, whereas soluble Sb(V) (364.8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) was not reduced, 

indicating that the As (V)-reducing pathway mediated by arsC genesis was not able to 

reduce Sb(V). The amounts of total As (506.8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and total Sb 

(821.1 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) in the dead cell system were approximately four times 

higher than in the living cell system (As=155.2 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>; Sb=364.8 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and the abiotic control (As=57.6 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>; Sb=271.1 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) because of the biomolecules released from 

the dead cells which enhanced the release of As and Sb. The correlation analysis of 

dissolved As and Sb showed that the release of total As and Sb was correlated (P&lt;0.05) 

in three systems. Our study shed new light on the impact of bacteria on the fate of As 

and Sb in soils.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Thirty indoor dust samples were collected from staff and study areas in a 

college in Foshan, and the As, Hg, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb, and Cr contents were measured. The 

Spearman correlation coefficient, principal component analysis, and US EPA health risk 

assessment model were used to determine the sources and degree of pollution and the 

health risks. The results showed that the levels of the eight heavy metals were higher 

than the background values in Guangdong Province and the reported values in other Chinese 

cities, excluding Hg. The levels of the eight heavy metals were higher in the staff area 

than in the study area, but the difference was not significant. The eight heavy metals 

were derived from similar sources; Hg was mainly derived from outdoor anthropogenic 

sources, while the others were mainly derived from indoor anthropogenic sources. The 

daily non-carcinogenic exposure dose was in the following order: ingestion&gt;dermal 

exposure&gt;inhalation. Ingestion was the major pathway of heavy metal exposure from 

indoor dust. Except for Cr, the non-carcinogenic hazard indexes of ingestion and dermal 

exposure were taken from partial sample points&gt;1. All of the health risks were lower 

than the average risk thresholds of the heavy metals, and would not cause health risks to 

humans. Printers, copiers, instruments, and equipment were important sources of indoor 

pollution and risk sources of heavy metals. Thus, protective measures should be taken to 

reduce the risk of exposure.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The concentrations of phosphorus fractions in the soils of the water-level-

fluctuating zone (WLFZ) of Pengxi River in the Three Gorges Reservoir were analyzed. The 

total phosphorus (TP), inorganic phosphorus (IP), and organic phosphorus (OP) were 

studied using the standard measurement and test (SMT) procedure. The average TP 

concentration was 575.29 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and the average OP concentration was 

91.23 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in the soils of WLFZ. The fractions of phosphorus were 

analyzed by the Hedley method. In the soils of WLFZ, the relative abundance of WA-

P<inf>i</inf>(weakly adsorbed inorganic phosphorus), PA-P<inf>i</inf>(potential active 

inorganic phosphorus), and Fe/Al-P<inf>i</inf>(Fe/Al-bound inorganic phosphorus) 

accounted for 11.61% of the extractable P<inf>i</inf>, lower than that in the unflooded 

bankside soils. The relative abundance of WA-P<inf>o</inf>(weakly adsorbed organic 

phosphorus) and PA-P<inf>o</inf>(potential active organic phosphorus) accounted for 

22.28% of the extractable P<inf>o</inf>and the Fe/Al-P<inf>o</inf>(Fe/Al-bound organic 

phosphorus) accounted for 66.30%. In addition, the P<inf>o</inf>content of the soils of 

WLFZ was lower than that of the unflooded bankside soils and the difference in the 

Fe/Al-P<inf>o</inf>content in both soil types was the highest. WA-P<inf>t</inf>and PA-

P<inf>t</inf>were significantly correlated with TP in the soils of WLFZ, which indicated 

that the active phosphorus content was mainly affected by TP. There was no statistical 

correlation between different fractions of phosphorus, suggesting different sources of 

phosphorus fractions. The Fe/Al-P<inf>t</inf>content was significantly correlated with 

OM, implying that the OM content may affect the Fe/Al-P<inf>t</inf>content. Therefore, 

under flood conditions, the potential impacts of phosphorus in the soils of WLFZ on 

overlying water should not be neglected.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to evaluate the effects and mechanism of in-situ cement 

solidification/stabilization (S/S) on heavy metal contaminated soils, leaching tests, 

speciation analysis, and microscopic analysis were conducted after cement treatment of a 

Pb, Zn, and Cd contaminated site in Baiyin, China. The leaching test results showed that 

cement could effectively stabilize Cd and Zn, which could reduce 99.5%-100% and 96.6%-

98.8% of H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>-HNO<inf>3</inf>extractable Cd and Zn, respectively. 

However, the leaching concentration of Pb was 2.6-5.8 times higher than that before 5% 

cement treatment. After adding 8% cement, H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>-

HNO<inf>3</inf>extractable Cd and Zn were reduced by 99.6%-100% and 94.4%-97.9% 

respectively. Similarly, the leaching concentration of Pb was 1.9-12.5 times higher than 

that before 8% cement treatment. The results of sequential extraction test proposed by 

the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) showed that cement could transform acid 

extractable Cd and Zn to residual form and transform reducible fractions of Pb to 

oxidizable and residual form, increasing the stability of heavy metals in soil. The 

microscopic analysis results showed that Pb<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>, and 

Cd<sup>2+</sup>could participate in the process of cement hydration and form silicate 

minerals and hydroxides. In conclusion, cement could be an effective S/S agent to 

remediate heavy metal contaminated soils, and site characteristics and environmental 

conditions should also be considered during the construction process.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In order to examine the continuous growth capacity of the nitrosation granular 

sludge (NGS), the sludge was inoculated to start up the columnar sequencing batch reactor 

(SBR). During 130 d, the concentration of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in SBR 

increased from 0.1 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 11.8 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, corresponding 

to the nitrite-nitrogen accumulation rate of 0.4-4.9 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>, promoted by a higher ammonia-nitrogen loading rate (NLR) from 0.74 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 6.66 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>in the influent. Because of the obvious increase in 

small granules (size&lt;200 &mu;m), the mean average diameter of NGS decreased 

significantly at NLR&lt;4.44 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. At higher 

NLR values, the growth of the mean average diameter of NGS could be fitted well using a 

modified logistic model. The specific growth rate of the k value was 0.022 9 d<sup>-

1</sup>. In addition, the combined inhibition of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) was 

expected at relatively high concentrations of both free ammonia (FA) and free nitrite 

acid (FNA); thus, the nitrite accumulation ratio (NAR) in the effluent was always higher 

than 80%. These results provide a feasible approach to start up a high-performance NGS 

reactor at the industrial-scale.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Coking wastewater is a typical industrial wastewater with high toxicity. Its 

treatment with biological processes is often challenging because it contains constituents 

inhibiting microbial activity. To study the inhibitory effect and possible acclimation of 

microbes in coking wastewater treatment, municipal sludge was inoculated into coking 

wastewater. Time-dependent concentrations of COD, phenol, ammonia nitrogen, and 

thiocyanide in coking wastewater were analyzed. The microbial community structure was 

investigated by the Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology during inoculation. 

The results showed that COD began to decrease after 16 h and 97.1% of phenol disappeared 

after 40 h. Thiocyanide began to degrade at 72 h and was undetectable after 96 h. 

Accordingly, the concentration of ammonia increased as the thiocyanide concentrations 

decreased. High-throughput pyrosequencing analysis showed that the microbial community 

structure and species richness varied at different culture stages. In the stage of phenol 

degradation, the abundance of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas increased rapidly; the 

species richness was 13.04% of the community at 48 h. In the stage of thiocyanate 

degradation, Sphingobacterium, Brevundimonas, Lysobacter, and Chryseobacterium were the 

dominant bacteria and were 16.13% of the community at 96 h. At 144 h, Fluviicola, 

Stenotrophomonas, and Thiobacillus became the dominant species and were 22.45% of the 

community abundance. The results showed that municipal sludge can rapidly overcome the 

toxicity of coking wastewater because the pollutants are degraded rapidly. The microbial 

community structure changed as wastewater components were degraded. Environmental factors 

and the competition among bacteria played a key role in microbial community

Abstract:The removal efficiencies of algal organic matter (AOM) and typical nitrogenous 

and non-nitrogenous disinfection by-products (DBPs) through adsorption with powder 

activated carbon (PAC) were investigated. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy 

confirmed that PAC adsorption changed the composition of AOM. PAC adsorption showed high 

removal efficiency for humus-like substances in AOM, but limited removal efficiency for 

aromatic protein-like substances. When the dosage of PAC was 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>and the adsorption time ranged from 10 to 30 min, the removal rates of 3.30 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>dissolved organic carbon were 20.7%-31.9% for intracellular 

organic matter (IOM) and 12.6%-19.0% for extracellular organic matter (EOM). The highest 

removal rates of trihalomethanes by PAC in the chlorination of IOM and EOM were 26.6% and 

35.8%, respectively. The highest removal rates of haloacetonitriles were 49.6% and 53.6% 

in the chlorination of IOM and EOM. The removal of dibromoacetonitrile precursors by PAC 

was significant. In summary, the PAC had a higher efficiency in reducing the generation 

of DBPs in EOM chlorination than in IOM chlorination.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Biological aerosol particles play a crucial role in cloud formation and 

succession of ecosystems and have a large impact on human health. However, the variations 

in the concentration, composition, and viability of biological particles remain unclear. 

This study, conducted in January 2013 and January 2015 in Beijing, explores the influence 

of meteorological conditions on the variations in the concentration and composition of 

biological particles. Concentrations of biological particles were measured by an online 

optical detector, waveband integrated bioaerosol sensor (WIBS-4A). The composition of 

bacterial communities within biological particles was measured by 16S rDNA sequencing. 

The results showed that the number concentration of biological particles ranged from 2 

L<sup>-1</sup>to 150 L<sup>-1</sup>during winter. The wind could largely influence the 

concentration and composition of biological particles. During gusty northwesterly winds, 

when wind speed was above 4 m&middot;s<sup>-1</sup>and wind direction was from the 

northwest (~30&deg;), the concentration increased by one order of magnitude, and the 

composition of bacterial communities sharply changed. After the passage of gusty winds, 

the composition gradually changed back to its prior state.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Concentrations of seven heavy metals in the coastal sediments of the northern 

Dongying City were measured. The spatial distribution and sources of heavy metals were 

discussed and the ecological risk was assessed using sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) 

and the potential ecological risk index (PERI). The concentration ranges of Hg, As, Pb, 

Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn were calculated as 0.005-0.092, 3.44-10.41, 6.59-19.00, 0.50-1.10, 

32.42-60.25, 1.72-23.78, and 31.13-69.96 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Higher 

metal concentrations were observed at site S10, which was close to the mouth of Tiaohe 

River and contained plenty of organic matter, silt, and clay. Principal component 

analysis (PCA) indicated that As and Pb in the sediments were derived from natural 

weathering processes, while other metals were mainly attributed to anthropogenic sources, 

i.e., land-sourced pollutants transported by runoff. Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, and Cu 

at some sampling sites exceeded the threshold effect level (TEL) stated in the SQGs 

implying occasional harmful effects on biological life. PERI showed that the sediments in 

this area generally had a medium risk, except sites S10, S3, and S9 posing a considerable 

risk, and that Cd and Hg were the major contributors to the ecological risk. It is 

necessary to take effective measures to control heavy metal fluxes from rivers around 

this area and to reduce the risk.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to evaluate the hydrological performance of permeable pavements in 

mitigating the surface runoff, four pilot-scale permeable pavement units were constructed 

in Shanghai and compared with impervious pavements. Three of the permeable facilities 

with waterproof liners included a pervious concrete pavement (facility I), permeable 

interlocking concrete pavement using cement stabilized macadam as the base course 

(facility II) and permeable interlocking concrete pavement using macadam as the base 

course (facility III). The other two facilities were a conventional permeable 

interlocking concrete pavement without a liner (facility IV) and an impervious concrete 

pavement control (facility 0). V-notch flow meters, data loggers, and a rainfall meter 

were mounted to monitor the hydrological data. A double-ring infiltrometer was applied to 

evaluate the infiltration rate of the pavements. During the one-year experiment, the 

surface runoff and the underdrain discharge flow rate of the four pilot-scale facilities 

were continuously monitored in actual rainfall and the total volume reduction, peak flow 

reduction, and peak concentrating time of different facilities were investigated. The 

results showed that the surface steady infiltration rates of permeable interlocking 

concrete pavements were less than those of the pervious concrete, and the surface steady 

infiltration rates of the two types of surface layers decreased after one year of usage. 

The surface runoff reduction of the four facilities showed no significant differences. 

The water volume reduction rate of the three types of facilities was weak. The annual 

total volume reduction rates were 24.2%, 28.5%, and 28.4%, and the controlled rainfall 

amounts were 5.2 mm, 7.8 mm, and 7.8 mm. The peak flow reduction rate and the time to the 

peak flow of facility I were smaller than those of facility II and facility III. The peak 

flow reduction rate and the time to the peak flow of the three facilities showed 

significant negative correlation with rainfall intensity.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The current research on filamentous bulking focuses on the effluent quality and 

the settling properties but the reports on the microbial physiology under filamentous 

bulking conditions are seldom. In this study, the variations in the respirogram of 

microorganisms and affinity coefficient during filamentous bulking were explored in a 

sequence batch reactor. Low dissolved oxygen, regarded as the typical reason for 

filamentous bulking, was applied as the stimulation method. The results showed that 

microorganisms entered the physiological adaptation stage in the early period of low DO. 

The following properties were observed in the system: (1) a sudden increase in the 

endogenous specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR<inf>e</inf>) of activated sludge, (2) an 

abrupt decrease in the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR<inf>n</inf>) of autotrophic 

bacteria, (3) a rapid increase after a slight decline in the specific oxygen uptake rate 

(SOUR<inf>c</inf>) of heterotrophic bacteria and a sudden increase in the oxygen affinity 

coefficient (K<inf>O</inf>). However, maintaining the low DO levels would deteriorate the 

effluent quality and sedimentation properties, but the SOUR<inf>n</inf>and 

SOUR<inf>c</inf>could recover to higher levels after a while and the COD affinity 

coefficient (K<inf>S</inf>) and K<inf>O</inf>would decrease gradually. In low DO 

conditions, a sufficient hydraulic retention time will benefit the effluent quality from 

a theoretical point of view. Moreover, microorganisms could adapt to low DO conditions, 

which verifies the feasibility of &ldquo;low oxygen aeration theory&rdquo; from the 

respiration and kinetic parameters. The results from this study provide a theoretical 

support for energy savings of sewage treatment plant operations.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:This study explores the impact of facility farming on the origin and composition 

of groundwater and on the distribution characteristics of inorganic salts, heavy metals, 

and dissolved organic matter in groundwater in a typical greenhouse vegetable planting 

area in North China plains. The methods used include conventional analysis, UV-Visible, 

and fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis, principle 

components analysis, and two-dimensional (2D) hetero-spectral correlation spectra 

techniques. The results showed that the hydrochemistry type of groundwater in the 

facility vegetable field was Cl-SO<inf>4</inf>, the nitrogen content was higher than the 

National Groundwater V Class Quality Standard (GB/T14848-93), and the heavy metal content 

was lower than the National Drinking Water Standard (GB5749-2006). The nitrification 

process was blocked due to a strongly reducing atmosphere and shallow depth in 

groundwater, which caused high concentrations of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. Part of 

the toxic sulfur-containing metal content increased after the application of inorganic 

fertilizers. The sources of dissolved organic matter in groundwater were similar; the 

organic manure components which leach into groundwater were recently produced by 

microbial metabolism. The main components of dissolved organic matter were small-

molecule-biodegradable protein-like substances and the fulvic-like content binding to 

them. The fulvic-like content that bound to protein-like content in vegetable planting 

groundwater was stable, while the protein-like content was greatly influenced by the 

cultivation process of the organic manure application. In the process of vegetable 

planting, organic manure should be applied scientifically and the supervision of the 

planting area is crucial.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of 

arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Claroideoglomus etunicatum (CE) and Rhizophagus 

intraradices (RI) on AM colonization rate, biomass, nutrient uptake, C: N: P 

stoichiometry, and the uptake and transport of lanthanum (La) and lead (Pb) by maize (Zea 

mays L.) grown in La-and Pb-contaminated soils (combined La-Pb concentrations of 50, 200, 

and 800 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>). The aim was to provide a scientific basis for the 

remediation of soils contaminated by rare earth elements and heavy metals. The results 

indicated that symbiotic associations were successfully established between the two 

isolates and maize, and the average AM colonization rate ranged from 26.7% to 95.8%. The 

increasing concentrations of La and Pb in soils significantly decreased the mycorrhizal 

colonization rate, biomass, and mineral nutrition concentrations of the maize, and 

significantly increased C: P and N: P ratios and the concentrations of La and Pb in 

shoots and roots of maize. The shoot and root dry weights of maize were significantly 

increased by 17.8%-158.9% with two AM fungi inoculations, while the P concentration of 

shoots and roots of the maize were significantly increased by 24.5%-153.8%. Inoculation 

with two AM fungi decreased the C: P and N: P ratios, consistent with the growth rate 

hypothesis. With AM fungi inoculation in three types of La-Pb co-contaminated soils, root 

Pb concentrations of the maize significantly increased by 51.3%-67.7%; shoot Pb 

concentrations of the maize significantly decreased by 16.0%-67.7%; and the transport 

rate of Pb from root to shoot of the maize decreased by 31.5%-54.7%. Meanwhile, 

inoculation with AM fungi significantly increased the shoot La concentrations in the 

maize grown in soils mildly contaminated with La-Pb, while it significantly decreased 

shoot La concentrations, increased root La concentrations of maize, and inhibited the 

transport of La from root to shoot of the maize grown in soils moderately contaminated 

with La-Pb, but had no significant effect in severely contaminated soils. The results 

showed that AM fungi had the potential to promote phytoremediation of soils contaminated 

with rare earth elements and heavy metals, with potential applications to revegetate such 

contaminated soil ecosystems.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study aims to understand the recycling process of Enteromorpha prolifera by 

using the slow pyrolysis technology to prepare biochars under different temperatures and 

by characterizing the physicochemical properties of biochars. The results showed that a 

relatively high level pyrolysis of Enteromorpha prolifera could be reached when the 

temperature was up to 400&#8451;. The yield rate and the ash content of biochars were 

negatively correlated with the pyrolysis temperature, while the carbon content was 

positively correlated. The specific surface area of Enteromorpha prolifera biochars was 

in the range of 44.54-317.82 m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The biochar surface was 

in the shape of a honeycomb and rich in oxygen-containing functional groups, such as 

hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The adsorption experiments revealed that the 

adsorption of Cr(VI) onto Enteromorpha prolifera biochars followed the pseudo-second-

order kinetics equation and Langmuir isotherm, indicating that the adsorption process was 

controlled by the fast reaction process and governed by monomolecular and chemical 

adsorption. The optimal pH for Cr(VI) adsorption onto Enteromorpha prolifera biochars was 

2 and their adsorption capabilities were in the order of 

BC400&gt;BC700&gt;BC600&gt;BC500&gt;BC300 (the adsorption capacity of BC400 was 4.79 

mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>). The adsorption mechanism included the electrostatic 

interactions between biochar and anions (HCrO<inf>4</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>7</inf><sup>2-</sup>) and the complexation of oxygen-containing 

functional groups.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Studying the evolution of secondary inorganic aerosols, which are important 

components of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, is crucial to improving our understanding about the air 

pollution in big cities. This study investigates the evolution and factors of secondary 

inorganic aerosols based on two pollution incidences in Nanjing in June 2014. A 

significant characteristic of air pollution complex with the coexistence of higher 

concentrations of both PM<inf>2.5</inf>and ozone is observed. In the earlier stage of the 

pollution episode, ozone concentrations were high, which could exceed 250, triggering a 

stronger oxidation in the atmosphere and a higher production potential of nitric acid 

that leads to the quick production of nitrate. In the later period of the pollution 

episode, relative humidity played an essential role. An increase in relative humidity 

would result in a sharp decrease in the theoretical product of the partial pressures of 

NH<inf>3</inf>and HNO<inf>3,</inf>especially when relative humidity exceeds the mutual 

deliquesce relative humidity that makes it easier to form nitrate. The difference in the 

theoretical and observational partial pressure product could characterize the evolution 

of nitrate perfectly.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Ammonium nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N) at high concentrations is toxic 

to plants. In order to explore the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N tolerance of Myriophyllum 

aquaticum (M. aquaticum) and its ability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptake, this 

study used a nutrient solution with three NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N levels (70, 210, 

420 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) to incubate M. aquaticum for 21 d. The characteristics of 

plant physiology and N and P uptake of M. aquaticum were measured. At 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N of 70 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, M. aquaticum grew healthily, 

and shoot height and biomass linearly increased with the increase incubation time. 

Relative shoot height and biomass of M. aquaticum were 40.56 cm and 17.82 

g&middot;hole<sup>-1</sup>on day 21, respectively. Compared to the control with 70 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>ammonium, malondialdehyde (MDA) content of M. aquaticum was 

significantly increased; chlorophyll and soluble sugar contents were also high at 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N of 210 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. M. aquaticum suffered from 

the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N stress. However, the stress of 210 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N did not affect its normal growth and there was no 

significant difference in the relative growth rate of the shoot height and biomass 

compared with the control. At NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N of 420 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, MDA contents of M. aquaticum doubled and the shoot height and biomass growth 

rate were only 27.4% and 17.9% of those for 70 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, indicating that M. aquaticum was subjected to 

serious stress that caused unhealthy growth or even death. At three NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N levels, the ranges of N and P content of M. aquaticum were 30.7-53.4 

mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 3.8-7.7 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, which 

indicated that M. aquaticum had a high uptake capacity of N and P. M. aquaticum is an 

ideal wetland plant that has a good application prospect for constructed wetlands in 

biological treatment of high-ammonia wastewater.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The Yellow River is the second longest river in China, which plays a very 

important role in the transportation of nutrients at the regional and even global scale. 

Water and sediment samples were collected at five sites located at the Gaocun to Lijin 

reaches along the Yellow River and the distribution characteristics of different 

phosphorus species were analyzed. The concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) 

in water ranged from 1.89 to 2.67 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an average of 2.26 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in May and from 0.43 to 1.79 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>with an 

average of 1.21 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in September. It almost had the same variation 

rule as the water flux, which reflects the influence of water flux on SPM transportation. 

The concentration of total phosphorus (TP) in water ranged from 0.05 to 2.31 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in May and from 0.03 to 0.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in September. 

Particulate phosphorus (PP) was the dominant TP species in both months, and TP and PP 

were significantly correlated (P&lt;0.01), which implied that phosphorus loss in soil 

from Gaocun to Lijin reaches is still serious. Water runoff was positively correlated 

with TP and PP (P&lt;0.05), but negatively correlated with total dissolved phosphorus 

(TDP) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) (P&lt;0.05, P&lt;0.01, respectively). 

Increasing water runoff obviously increased the dilution of TDP and DIP. The 

concentration of SPM was negatively correlated with DIP (P&lt;0.01), the adsorption of 

SPM on phosphorus was mainly the adsorption of DIP. The permanganate index in water was 

higher in fall suggesting more serious organic pollution and it was positively correlated 

with DIP (P&lt;0.01). The phosphorus content in sediments was quite low in both months; 

the total phosphorus (TP) content in sediments ranged from 284.23 to 569.58 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in May and from 287.97 to 355.39 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in 

September. Calcium-bound phosphate (Ca-P) was the dominant species of inorganic 

phosphorus (IP). The labile organic phosphorus (L-OP) content was significantly 

correlated with runoff, SPM concentration, and permanganate index (P&lt;0.01, P&lt;0.05, 

P&lt;0.01, respectively). The organic phosphorus (OP) content was significantly higher at 

the Lijin site in May, likely caused by the rainfall-runoff from the mining area around 

Lijin. The energy-based production activities from the Gaocun to Lijin reaches should 

also be further investigated.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the concentration, distribution characteristics, and health 

risk assessment of toxic heavy metals, Cu, Mn, Pb, Ti, V, Cd, Cr, Co, Mo, and Ni, in 

atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and dust, the PM and dust samples were collected in 

all four seasons in 2014 in Beijing using two high volume air samplers (Echo Tecora Inc., 

Italy) and a dust tank, respectively. Selected metals were quantified by ICP-MS. Annual 

average concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>were 153.40 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 232.93 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, which were five and 

three times higher than the Ambient Air Quality Standard values (GB 3095-2012), 

respectively. The average PM<inf>2.5</inf>/PM<inf>10</inf>was 0.74, implying that 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>predominated the particulate matter concentrations. The results of 

backward trajectory analysis suggested that exogenous particles originated from the 

northwest, north-northeast, southeast, and southeast-northwest during winter, spring, 

summer, and autumn, respectively. The order of annual average concentrations of selected 

metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>was 

Ti&gt;Mn&gt;Pb&gt;Cu&gt;Cr&gt;Ni&gt;V&gt;Cd&gt;Mo&gt;Co. The sum of the concentrations of 

Ti, Mn, Pb, Cu, and Cr accounted for 91.93% and 92.49% of the total concentration of 

target metals in PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>, respectively. The metal content of 

dust followed the order of Ti&gt;Mn&gt;Pb&gt;Cu&gt;Ni&gt;Cr&gt;V&gt;Co&gt;Mo&gt;Cd and Ti 

(2 561.48 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) accounted for 72.57% of the total metal content of 

dust. The geo-accumulation index (I<inf>geo</inf>) of Cd, Pb, Cu, and Ni were 4.03, 2.49, 

1.33, and 0.43, which represented the states of heavily to extremely contaminated, 

moderately to heavily contaminated, moderately contaminated and uncontaminated to 

moderately contaminated, respectively, indicating that dust in the target area included 

significant amounts of Cd, Pb, and Cu. The health risk assessment suggested that non-

carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks of selected metals in PM<inf>10</inf>and dust were 

within safe limits, but their long-term impact cannot be ignored.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:There has been a growing interest in soil replacement and in-situ stabilization 

techniques in recent years. Many techniques in the remediation of contaminated soils have 

been proven to be effective methods. In this study, lime and calcium phosphate were added 

to immobilize the heavy metals in contaminated soils. The long-term application potential 

of these techniques were evaluated by taking the demonstration project of the soil 

remediation in Tongguan of Shaanxi as the case study.The status of heavy metal 

contamination in the study area resulted from artisanal gold mining was discussed. The 

strategies of remediation and the evaluation of the remediation results including the 

safety of agricultural practices were also studied. The results showed that soil was 

seriously contaminated in the study area with Cd, Pb, and Hg, and the residue mining 

waste was the main source. The potential ecological risk index ranged from 668 to 10 969, 

suggesting that all the samples posed a very strong ecological hazard. Based on the 

pollution status, the soil replacement method and stabilization method were applied. 

Acceptable remediation results were obtained with lower total metal content (except Cd) 

and decreased heavy metal availability. However, the metal content of agricultural 

products was higher than the permissible value according to GB 2762-2012, which means 

that agricultural practices pose risks on remediated soils. Soil replacement and 

stabilization would be practical techniques for heavy metal polluted soil remediation. 

However, a consecutive investigation should be conducted for the assurance of food 

safety.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In Taihu Lake region, more and more paddy fields are being converted to 

vegetable fields, which cause serious soil acidification and decreased soil nitrogen 

retention. In this study, calcium carbonate and biochar were used as acidification 

amendments to test their ability on soil acidification remediation and soil nitrogen 

retention improvement. Calcium carbonate and biochar addition rates were determined by pH 

buffering curves. An incubation experiment with and without nitrogen fertilization and 

multi-leaching simulation tests were conducted. The soil nitrogen mineralization rate, 

dynamics of the nitrogen content in soils and leachates, and soil pH were measured. The 

results showed that 3.92&times;10<sup>-2</sup>mol&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>calcium carbonate 

and 27.73 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>biochar should be added into the tested acidified 

vegetable soil to recover the original pH value. Without nitrogen fertilization, the 

addition of calcium carbonate increased the soil nitrogen mineralization rate by 37% but 

had no significant effect on mineral nitrogen content. However, biochar addition 

significantly improved the soil nitrogen mineralization rate by 35%-44% and nitrate 

content by 42%-58%. Nitrogen leaching loss was cut down by 42%-57% in biochar addition 

treatment because of the lower leachate volume and nitrogen concentration, while calcium 

carbonate addition increased nitrogen leaching loss by 12%-76% because of the higher 

leachate nitrogen concentration. After leaching, the soil pH decreased for all the 

treatments. The soil pH change was the lowest for calcium carbonate addition treatment 

under no nitrogen fertilization and the lowest for biochar addition treatment under 

nitrogen fertilization. This result suggests that calcium carbonate is more applicable 

for seriously acidified soils which are fallowed and biochar is more suitable for the 

intensified vegetable fields because it can improve the soil nitrogen retention and soil 

pH, and reduce the nitrogen leaching loss.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Electrochemical oxidation by boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode is an effective 

method of degrading refractory organics. Compared with TOC detection, the amount of gas 

escape can more effectively and intuitively reflect the mineralization and the removal 

extent. In this study, indole is chosen as a typical pollutant and the detection of its 

removal rate was compared at current densities of 10, 20, and 30 mA&middot;cm<sup>-

2</sup>. Meanwhile, the degradation mechanism was analyzed based on the changes in the 

carbon and nitrogen forms and conservation status. As a result, BDD electrodes displayed 

a higher removal efficiency to indole, which can completely be removed after 8 h, 5 h, 

and 4 h with current densities of 10, 20 and 30 mA&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. 

Changes in TOC removal and CO<inf>2</inf>generation were both increased with increasing 

the current densities, suggesting that the mineralization extent was in accordance with 

current densities. Furthermore, the escaped CO<inf>2</inf>, combined with TOC and TIC 

constituted a conservative carbon system. The byproduct isatin was stable and accumulated 

at 4-5 h, as TOC, TON, and CO<inf>2</inf>generation was unchanged at this stage. Finally, 

the XPS analysis suggested the adsorption by-products such as isatin and benzoquinone on 

the BDD surface, which can further be removed by increasing the electrolysis time. This 

study demonstrated the mineralization process of indole based on the escaped gas 

detection and the changes in the carbon and nitrogen forms, which will increase the 

understanding of the electrolysis process.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The thin layered graphitic carbon nitride (g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>) was 

prepared by the thermal polymerization process with urea as the precursor. The layered 

heterostructure of graphitic carbon nitride-bismuth oxyiodide (g-

C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOI) was constructed by the in-situ synthetization of bismuth 

oxyiodide (BiOI) on the surface of the thin layered g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>. The 

morphology, specific surface area, crystal structure, molecular structure, light 

absorption properties, and surface properties were characterized by TEM, BET, XRD, FT-IR, 

UV-Vis DRS, and XPS, respectively. The disinfection performance of the synthesized 

catalysts under visible light irradiation was investigated. The antibacterial mechanism 

of g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOI in the photocatalytic process was further revealed 

by the capture of sacrificial agents. The results indicate that the prepared sample has a 

layered heterojunction structure with a specific surface area of 63 

m<sup>2</sup>&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and its light absorption side can obtain 600 nm. The 

results of the photocatalytic activity test indicate that g-

C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOI can kill bacteria within 4 h, which is significantly 

higher than that of g-C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>and BiOI. The main active species of g-

C<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf>/BiOI in the photocatalytic process can be attributed to the 

photogenerated holes.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The traditional biochemical treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater has 

limited efficiency. This study investigated whether H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>could 

strengthen the biological ability of the hydrolytic acidification/biological contact 

oxidation process (A/O), which effectively treats the printing and dyeing wastewater. 

After biofilm formation and the biochemical system startup and operation by 

H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>, the system was successfully started and steadily operated 

when H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>was added into reactor A with the 

H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>voluve fraction of 3 mL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, doses of 100.0 

mL, the flow velocity of 0.67 mL&middot;min<sup>-1</sup>, and dosing frequency of once a 

day. The experimental results showed that the average removal efficiencies of COD, 

ammonia nitrogen, PVA, and color of printing and dyeing wastewater were 89.8%, 96.7%, 

87.4%, and 92.1%, respectively. The microorganism community structures of reactor A and 

reactor O in this system were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rDNA 

amplicon. The results demonstrated that the three dominant microbial strains in reactor A 

were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Verrucomicrobia, and in reactor O were 

Planctomycetes, Proteobacteria, and Acidobacteria.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations are usually measured as the proxy of 

phytoplankton biomass and used to evaluate the trophic status of inland waters. Based on 

49 in situ samples taken from two measurement campaigns in Lake Hongze in 2016, we 

evaluate the performance of five Chl-a estimation algorithms (including the band ratio, 

three-band, FLH algorithm, MCI, and UMOC algorithms). The results showed that the UMOC 

model was the most suitable model for the estimation of Chl-a in Lake Hongze. The mean 

relative error (MRE) of UMOC was 32.30%, much lower than the band ratio algorithm 

(75.17%), three-band algorithm (62.44%), FLH algorithm (45.87%), and MCI algorithm 

(56.95%). The best-performing UMOC model was applied to the atmospherically corrected 689 

MERIS images between 2002-2012 and long time series MERIS Chl-a concentration estimation 

products were acquired. Between 2002 and 2012, the mean Chl-a concentration in Lake 

Hongze was 19.560 mg&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>with substantial spatial and temporal 

variability. Based on the variability of monthly mean Chl-a concentrations in each pixel, 

the Lake Hongze waterbody was divided into three water types, Region A, Region B, and 

Region C. The annual mean Chl-a concentrations of Region B and Region C showed no 

significant changes, while the concentrations in Region A increased markedly. The 

analysis of the meteorological factors showed that the fluctuations of the annual mean 

Chl-a concentrations in Region B and Region C were mainly affected by annual 

precipitation, suggesting that the Chl-a concentrations of these two regions are 

dominated by the intensity of the lake flow. The annual mean Chl-a concentrations of 

Region A showed a strong negative correlation with the annual mean wind speed. The 

descending trend of the annual wind speed may enhance the eutrophication degree of this 

region, threatening the safety of the water quality of the South-North Water Transfer 

Project. The Chl-a concentrations showed a strong positive correlation with the distance 

from the Huaihe Estuary in the wet season suggesting that the Huaihe River has an obvious 

inhibitory effect on algal biomass in Lake Hongze during this period.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Adsorption ceramsite (SKC) was prepared with biochar (BC) derived from municipal 

sludge and kaolin (KL) based on the optimized processing parameters to adsorb 

ciprofloxacin (CIP) in aqueous solutions. The CIP adsorption mechanism of SKC was 

investigated by adsorption kinetics and isotherm adsorption models, combined with the 

analysis of microstructure, pore structure, phase composition, and zeta potential. 

Furthermore, the heavy metal leaching toxicity was assessed using the toxicity 

characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) method. The results showed that SKC, with 60% BC 

and 40% KL calcining at 1, 050&#8451; for 5 min, showed an outstanding removal efficiency 

of CIP (65.34%). The pseudo-second-order equation agreed with the adsorption behavior and 

the Freundlich model described the adsorption process well. The adsorption process was a 

multilayer adsorption controlled by physical and chemical reactions. The leaching 

concentration of heavy metals, trapped by the mineral phases in SKC was much lower than 

that in BC, indicating low ecotoxicological risk. SKC possessed the ability to adsorb CIP 

with its developed porosity and characteristic mineralogical phases, including silicon 

aluminum oxide and iron oxide. This work provides a low-cost recyclable sorbing material 

to remove high concentration CIP from wastewater and offers a new idea for the large-

scale safe use of BC.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Distribution characteristics of air pollutants and aerosol chemical components 

under different weather conditions were investigated in Jiaxing between May 1 and 31, 

2015. The particulate matter (PM), gaseous pollutants, chemical components in 

PM<inf>1.0</inf>, and aerosol number concentrations ranging from 10 nm to 10 &mu;m were 

measured using the SHARP-5030 monitoring instrument, Thermo EMS system, Aerodyne Aerosol 

Chemical Speciation Monitor (ACSM), and Wide-Range Particle Spectrometer (WPS), 

respectively. The average concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, PM<inf>1.0</inf>, 

SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, and CO were 52.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 92.1 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and 1.2 mg&middot;m<sup>-

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, and 

Cl<sup>-</sup>in PM<inf>1.0</inf>had average concentrations of 2.18, 1.24, 0.87, 0.63, 

and 0.08 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The aerosol number concentrations 

were mainly centralized in Aitken mode (20-100 nm), with a value of 12 411.2 cm<sup>-

3</sup>. The nuclei mode aerosols (10-20 nm) followed the number concentrations with 4 

946.6 cm<sup>-3</sup>. The concentration distributions and diurnal variations of PM and 

gaseous pollutants, and the distributions of chemical components of 

PM<inf>1.0</inf>varied under different weather conditions. The concentrations of chemical 

components were ranked in the order of OA&gt;SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>&gt; 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>&gt; NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>&gt; Cl<sup>-</sup>on rainy days

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>&gt;NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>&gt;Cl<sup>-</sup>on new 

particle formation (NPF) days. The OA and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>concentrations on NPF 

days were 1.61 and 1.42 times larger than those on sunny days, suggesting that the 

components of OA and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were the main substances influencing the 

NPF events. Additionally, the diurnal variations of aerosols in different modes varied 

under different types of weather conditions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The cumulative adsorption of external phosphorus (P) by water purification 

sludge after ignition under different addition methods (mix and cover) was investigated 

along with the adsorption isotherm and the release of internal P after external P 

adsorption. The cumulative adsorption of external P was 11.496 mg (mix) and 11.042 mg 

(cover) and these values were higher than those in the control (7.219 mg). The maximum 

sorption capacity (S<inf>max</inf>) increased under the mix and cover and the former 

(7.795 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>) was higher than the latter (6.807 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>). However, the zero equilibrium P concentration (EPC<inf>0</inf>) in the mix was 

0.83 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, higher that in the cover (0.64 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>). 

The result suggests that the internal P was easily released in the mix method, compared 

to the cover method. Under anaerobic conditions, the release of the internal P was 0.93 

mg in the mix, lower than that in the cover (1.49 mg) and in the control (7.76 mg). In 

addition, the specific release rate in the cover method was 0.006 14 (mean), higher than 

that (0.003 96) in the mix method. Noticeably, these data were lower than those in the 

control, indicating that the retention of P under the mix method was higher, compared to 

the cover and the control and it is challenging to evaluate the P retention with 

EPC<inf>0</inf>.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study investigates the influence of noble metal capacity and promoter 

capacity in diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) and catalyzed diesel particulate filters 

(CDPF) on particulate matter (PM) emissions. Four types of exhaust aftertreatments were 

applied to a diesel bus engine that meets the national III emissions regulations. On-

board tests were conducted respectively. PM emissions from the engine were strongly 

influenced by noble metal capacity in DOC and CDPF, especially at high speeds (the total 

number of particles increased by 70.8% when the noble metal capacity decreased by 5 

g&middot;ft<sup>-3</sup>at 60 km&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>). The higher the noble metal 

capacity was, the lower the PM emissions became, especially for PM in nuclei mode. The 

lanthanide material contributed to reducing PM emissions significantly. The content of 

precious metals could be reduced by 25% with proper lanthanide material, while the 

treatment effect of exhaust particles was guaranteed. In summary, aftertreatments are not 

sensitive to accelerating conditions, but the purification efficiency is obviously 

different under decontamination conditions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The concentrations, sources, and health risks of 16 United States Environmental 

Protcction Agency(USEPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in vegetables 

(leafy lettuce, amaranth, water spinach, and Shanghai green), in soils inside and outside 

the vegetable greenhouse, and in wet deposition were investigated by conducting an 

experiment on facility cultivation. The results showed that the average concentrations of 

total PAHs in vegetables and soils were 99.27 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 128.01 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>in the greenhouse, and 109.11 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 173.07 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>out of the greenhouse. The concentrations of PAHs in the 

greenhouse were lower than those outside and the high ring-PAHs were lower than the low 

ring-PAHs both inside and outside. The PAH concentrations in suspended particular matter 

in dissolved phases of wet deposition were 2 986.49 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and 61.9 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The low rings were easily enriched by the 

vegetables based on the shoot concentration factors. PAHs in soils and vegetables mainly 

originated from oil emissions and grass, wood, and coal combustion, while those in 

suspended particular matter in wet deposition were from petrogenic sources and the 

combustion of grass, wood, and coal. Petroleum combustion emissions were the main sources 

of PAHs in dissolved phases. We used the model of incremental lifetime cancer risks to 

evaluate the health risk of eating these vegetables. There was a potential risk of cancer 

for both children and adults for all vegetables except amaranth. The carcinogenic risk of 

vegetables outside the greenhouse was higher than the risk inside. Amaranth had a low 

carcinogenic risk with the value of incremental lifetime cancer risk lower than 10<sup>-

6</sup>, while the risk of Shanghai green ranged between 10<sup>-4</sup>and 10<sup>-

Abstract:We studied the inoculation of activated sludge from domestic sewage treatment 

plants. The reaction of reducing nitrate by zero-valent iron was started in the up-flow 

anaerobic reactor. After 52 d of operation, a nitrogen removal rate of 29.3 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>was achieved. Ferric iron and iron oxide coated on 

the sludge formed in the operation process caused the mineralization and slowly decreased 

the sludge activity. The methods of the &ldquo;supplement and replacement of the sludge 

in the reactor&rdquo; and &ldquo;changing the reflux mode of the reactor&rdquo; were 

applied. Using the method of the supplement and replacement of the sludge in the reactor, 

by discharging a part of the sludge in the reactor and adding the extra dosage from the 

anaerobic denitrifying sludge for the treatment of wastewater, after 22 d of operation, 

the conversion rate of nitrate-nitrogen was 33.0 g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>and the concentration of nitrite-nitrogen was 16.50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The 

effluent average concentration of ammonia-nitrogen decreased from 12.38 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 3.58 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the nitrogen removal rate was 

recovered from 9.9 g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 15.0 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>. The biological reaction weakened the chemical 

reduction of nitrate by zero-valent iron. Using the method of changing the reflux mode of 

the reactor, the reflux tank was arranged outside the reaction column using hydraulic 

circulation. The increase in the erosion of the upper layer of the sedimentation tank 

would bring out ferric iron and iron oxide with the outflow water and they would be 

deposited in the reflux tank. The corresponding ferric iron of transformation of nitrate 

settled in the external reflux tank was 58% at the ascending velocity of 3.49 

m&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>. The nitrate-nitrogen conversion rate was 34.3 g&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, the effluent concentration of nitrite-nitrogen was 

0.22 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and ammonia-nitrogen was 0.75 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

Ammonia and nitrite did not extensively accumulate. The nitrogen removal rate was 33.4 

g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which solved the problem of the 

mineralized sludge in the long-term reactor operation. In summary, the method of 

reforming the reflux mode of the reactor performed better than the method of the 

supplement and replacement of sludge in the reactor.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Concentrations and distribution of n-alkanes (n-C<inf>14</inf>to n-

C<inf>33</inf>) in Lake Wanghu sediment core were analyzed to investigate the 

environmental changes in the lake during the past~100 years. Relatively higher 

concentrations of mid- and long-chain n-alkanes with a strong odd-over-even carbon number 

predominance indicated organic matter contributions dominated by aquatic macrophytes and 

terrestrial plants. The lower values of 2n-C<inf>31</inf>/(n-C<inf>27</inf>+n-

C<inf>29</inf>) highlighted a type of landscape dominated by woody plants. The 

environmental changes that have been happening over the past 100 years in Lake Wanghu can 

be divided into three stages, based on the organic matter sources inferred from the 

changes in n-alkane parameters in the sediments. Before the 1950s, higher values of 

terrigenous/aquatic ratio (TAR) and high-/low-molecular weight n-alkanes (H/L) indicated 

vascular, plant-derived sediments deposited during a low-nutrient, clear-water phase with 

frequent water exchange between the lake and the Yangtze River. Between the 1950s and 

1980s, decrease in values of H/L and TAR, and increase in the proportion of mid- and 

short-chain n-alkanes indicated a shift towards mid- and shorter-chain components likely 

associated with the increasing contribution of macrophytes and algae. Lower 2n-

C<inf>17</inf>/(n-C<inf>23</inf>+n-C<inf>25</inf>) values indicated a relatively low 

algal abundance. In that stage, the lake trophic state increased slightly with the 

decreasing influence of the Yangtze River flow. After the 1980s, H/L and TAR values 

increased and then decreased, total n-alkane concentrations and 2n-C<inf>17</inf>/(n-

C<inf>23</inf>+n-C<inf>25</inf>) increased significantly, especially after 2000s, 

suggesting the main contributor to high organic matter input most likely shifted to algae 

because of the eutrophication caused by anthropogenic activities.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:To identify the microbial factors that cause the differences in the purification 

performance of constructed wetlands with different substrate structures, the relationship 

between the substrate structure and the microbial community composition in horizontal 

subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSSFCWs) was studied by high throughput sequencing. 

The results revealed that the purification performance of a six-layer constructed wetland 

(CW6), of which the permeability coefficient gradually increased from the surface layer 

to the bottom layer, was the highest among the three constructed wetland systems. The 

average concentrations of COD, TN, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N in the effluent were 39, 11, 0.35, and 4 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. The monolayer structure constructed wetland (CW1) had the worst purifying 

efficiency, with average effluent concentrations of 95, 21, 0.60 and 12 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>for COD, TN, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, respectively. The results of the high-throughput sequencing 

showed that the number of microbial OTUs in multilayer structure wetlands was slightly 

lower than that in the monolayer structure wetland, but the relative abundance of the 

dominant phylum Proteobacteria and the nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in the genus 

was significantly higher than the monolayer structure wetland. The results of PCA and 

heatmap indicated that there were significant differences in the spatial distribution of 

microbes in the genus of Proteobacteria in CW3 and CW6, which facilitated the degradation 

of pollutants. No significant differences were found in the community structure of 

CW1.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Spatial variability of soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N) at the provincial 

scale was analyzed using ordinary kriging methods. The effects of the factors influencing 

C/N were quantified by regression analysis based on 16, 582 points of surface soil 

samples (0-20 cm) collected during the project of soil-test-based formulated 

fertilization in Jiangxi Province in 2012. The results showed that soil C/N ranged from 

2.98 to 52.67, with an average of 11.72. The coefficient of variation was 25.17%, 

suggesting moderate variability. The nugget-to-sill ratio was 88.44%, meaning that the 

stochastic factors played a more important role in the spatial variability of soil C/N 

between the structural and stochastic factors. The spatial distribution of soil C/N was 

relatively smooth and the high-value areas were mainly distributed in Pengze County-

Jiujiang City, Shangli County-Pingxiang City, and Lean County-Fuzhou City. The terrain 

factors, farmland-use type, parent material, soil type, and the level of nitrogen 

fertilizer had significant impacts on the spatial variability of soil C/N (P&lt;0.05), 

but the degree of influence was different for each factor. Soil C/N indicated a 

significant positive Pearson's correlation with elevation and the slope of slope 

(P&lt;0.05). The terrain factors explained 0.3% of the spatial variability of soil C/N 

and the farmland-use could explain 1.4%. The explanatory power of soil groups, subgroups, 

and soil family were 2.7%, 3.6%, and 5.5% respectively. The level of nitrogen fertilizer 

could explain 33.4% of the spatial variability of soil C/N, which showed that the amount 

of nitrogen fertilizer was the main factor that controls the spatial distribution of soil 

C/N.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to explore the impact of Talc ore mining on aquatic ecosystems, 

periphyton communities and environmental factors from control portion, impacted portion 

and recovery portion separately were investigated and analyzed. Samples were collected 

from upstream Tanghe River (an important tributary of Tazi River) in November 2015, April 

2016, and July 2016. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare the differences in 

environmental factors and periphyton community structures among three portions. Spearman 

correlation analysis, canonical correspondence analysis, and t-value biplot analysis were 

used to determine the relationship between the environmental factors and periphyton 

community structures. In the control and recovery portions, mass concentrations of 

magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se), arsenic (As), iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), bicarbonate ion 

(HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>), nitrate ion (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>), power of 

hydrogen (pH) and electric conductivity (EC), were the highest, and in the impacted 

portion, mass concentrations of potassium(K), sodium (Na), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), 

silicon dioxide (SiO<inf>2</inf>), and dissolved oxygen (DO) were the lowest. The mass 

concentrations of Mg, Mo, As, EC, and HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were significantly 

different (P&lt;0.05) among the three portions. In control and recovery portions, the 

periphyton density, species richness, diatom siltation index, and relative abundance of 

Achnanthes sp. were the highest, while in the impacted portion, the percentage of handle 

diatom, the relative abundance of Surirella sp., and relative abundance of Navicula sp. 

were the lowest. Species richness of periphyton was significantly different (P&lt;0.05) 

among the three portions. In summary, Mg, EC, and HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>from Talc 

Ore mining had significant impacts on periphyton assemblage structure.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Ag-AgI/CN/MA photocatalysts were prepared by coupling graphitic carbon nitride 

(CN) with AgI/&gamma;-Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>(AgI/MA) through a thermal 

polymerization method and Ag nanoparticles were deposited by photoreduction. The 

catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 

(XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance 

spectra (UV-vis DRS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic 

performance of different catalysts was evaluated under visible light irradiation 

(&lambda;&gt;420 nm). The effects of different conditions such as pH and catalyst dosage 

on photoreactions were also investigated. The results showed that Ag<sup>+</sup>and 

Ag<sup>0</sup>coexisted on the surface of the catalyst and Ag and AgI nanoparticles were 

uniformly distributed on the surface of CN. Compared with CN and Ag-AgI/MA, Ag-AgI/CN/MA 

composites exhibited better visible-light photocatalytic activity and stability, and the 

release of silver ions was significantly suppressed. At the catalyst dosage of 1 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and pH=7, Ag-AgI/CN/MA-2 exhibited the optimal photocatalytic 

performance. Ag-AgI/CN/MA-2 also showed high photoactivity for the degradation of dyes 

with different charges, such as rhodamine B (RhB), methyl red (MR) and congo red 

(CR).<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

spring and &lt;0.08 to 5.47 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(1.02 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in 

average) in summer, respectively. Seasonal pollution characteristics of PAHs in surface 

water during two different seasons showed that total PAH concentrations were much higher 

in summer than in spring at each sampling site on the Luanhe River. While seasonal 

pollution characteristics of OCPs showed that total OCP concentrations were much lower in 

spring than in summer at six sites including Luanxian, Daheiting reservoir dam, Panjiakou 

Village, Guojiatun, Qujiawan, and Baichengzi, and were higher in spring than in summer at 

the remaining eight sites. From the perspective of spatial and temporal variations in the 

composition patterns of PAHs and OCPs in surface water of the Luanhe River, the low and 

middle ring species of PAHs were dominant in spring and summer and the proportion of PAHs 

with different rings showed significant differences. Three-ring PAHs dominated the 

samples with 51.18% and 67.55% (61.39% on average) of total PAHs in spring, and four-ring 

and two-ring PAHs accounted for 11.78%-33.94% (20.97% on average) and 13.31%-27.12% 

(16.94% on average), respectively. In the summer, In the summer, naphthalene(Nap) was the 

main component of total PAHs at each sampling site and PAHs were predominated by two-ring 

compounds with 77.08% and 90.62% (83.34% on average) of the total, and by three-ring and 

four-ring compounds with 7.09%-15.22% (12.40% on average) and 2.23%-7.49% (3.97% on 

average), respectively. Only the residues of hexachlorocyclohexanes(HCHs) and 

dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes(DDTs) were detected in surface water of the Luanhe River 

at different degrees and HCHs were the dominant compounds. &beta;-HCH was the main 

pollutant at most sampling sites with 43.78% and 70.09% (56.25% on average) of total HCHs 

in the spring and with 53.63% and 64.31% (58.37% on average) in the summer. &alpha;-HCH 

and &gamma;-HCH were abundant at other sampling sites. Source analysis based on the 

isomer ratios indicated that PAHs in the Luanhe River mainly originated from combustion 

sources and also likely from petroleum processes. Ratios of OCPs confirmed that 

historical residues and long-range atmospheric transport were the major sources of HCHs 

in the study area, and new sources of lindane or &gamma;-HCH existed at Wulongji and 

Sandaohezi in the spring and Daheting reservoir dam in the summer. Fresh inputs at the 

Panjiakou reservoir dam, Sandaohezi, Waigoumenzi, Baichengzi, Zhenglanqi, and the 

Shandianhe reservoir, and environmental residues at Jianggezhuang and Guojiatun were the 

major sources of DDTs. Concentrations of single PAHs in surface water of the Luanhe River 

did not exceed the water quality standards of China and other countries except that 

chrysene(Chr) exceeded the United States national water quality standard. Individual PAHs 

did not exceed any safety guidelines for aquatic organisms that are exposed to PAHs in 

water but total concentrations of PAHs exceeded the threshold limits set by the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Union. This result 

indicated that consuming fish and other aquatic animals might pose a potential threat to 

human health due to the bioaccumulation of PAHs in aquatic organisms. The concentrations 

of OCPs in surface water of the Luanhe River did not exceed any water quality standards 

or the aquatic life threshold limits for freshwater developed by the EPA. However, the 

concentrations of &alpha;-HCH at Jianggezhuang, Wulongji, Qujiawan, and Baichengziand 

sites in the spring and at the Panjiakou reservoir dam, Panjiakou village, Qujiawan, and 

Baichengzi sites in the summer, and concentrations of p,p'-DDD at the Shandianhe 

reservoir and p,p'-DDE at Jianggezhuang, Sandaohezi, Guojiatun, and Shandianhe reservoir 

in the spring exceeded the human health ambient water quality criteria limit developed by 

the EPA. This result suggests that &alpha;-HCH, p,p'-DDE, and p,p'-DDD pose a potential 

health risk to the residents who live near the sampling sites on the Luanhe River.<br/>

Abstract:The effect of copper (II) wastewater addition on the treatment of chromium (VI) 

wastewater in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) was investigated for different Cr

(VI)/Cu(II) concentration ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4) and external resistances (10, 500, 

1 000, 2 000 &Omega;). The results demonstrated that the addition of Cu(II) and Cr(VI) 

into the cathode chamber of MFCs could enhance the Cr(VI) removal efficiency. The Cr(VI) 

removal efficiency increased with the increase in the Cr(VI)/Cu(II) concentration ratio. 

The Cu(II) on the Cr(VI) removal efficiencies increased with the decrease of external 

resistance. The highest Cr(VI) removal efficiency achieved was 91.00% in MFC at the Cr

(VI)/Cu(II) concentration ratio of 1:4 and external resistance of 10 &Omega;, which was 

132.57% higher than the MFC with Cr(VI) only (39.13%). The scanning electron microscopy 

with coupled energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray photoelectron 

spectroscopy (XPS) analyses of the cathode electrode at the end of the experiments 

indicated that Cr(VI) reduced to non-conductive Cr(III) deposits 

(Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>) on the cathode electrode, resulting in cathode deactivation 

which blocked the electron transfer. However, the addition of Cu(II) could improve the 

electrical conductivity of the cathode due to its conductive reduzates (copper and 

Cu<inf>2</inf>O) on the cathode which could reduce the cathode deactivation and 

subsequently enhance the Cr(VI) removal efficiency.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Four mini experiments were conducted at different conditions. The heterotrophic 

microorganisms on the aerobic granular sludge surface consumed organic compounds at the 

initial stage of aeration. The denitrification rate and the efficiency of 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N removal were relatively 

low. Therefore, under the normal temperature conditions (20-23&#8451;), aerobic granular 

sludge sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated in the two-stage aeration mode(first 

in low aeration then in high aeration mode). The low aeration time were carried out at 1, 

2 and 3 hours stages respectively, and the characteristics of the granular sludge and its 

effects on microorganisms were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 

fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. The results show that the increase 

in the aerobic granular sludge (AGS) particle size improved the denitrification capacity; 

the denitrification rate of NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N was the highest at low aeration 

mode with 2 h and reached 9.66 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>. The accumulation rate 

of nitrite increased to 77.84% and the total nitrogen removal rate to 70%. The bacterial 

count inside the granular sludge increased and they were mainly cocci, bacillus, and 

ellipsoidal bacteria. Moreover, the proportion of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in total 

bacterial count increased from 13.70% to 15.40%. Therefore, the two-stage aeration 

process achieved shortened simultaneous nitrification and denitrification processes and 

showed a good denitrification performance.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Using APS-3321, the atmospheric aerosol number concentrations (0.5-20 &mu;m) 

were continuously monitored to analyze the characteristics of winter and spring pollution 

in 2014 in a northern suburb of Nanjing. The average number concentrations were 

(364.8&plusmn;297.8) cm<sup>-3</sup>and (79.6&plusmn;62.4) cm<sup>-3</sup>in winter and 

spring, respectively; fine particles (0.5-1.0 &mu;m) accounted for 87.8% and 86.6% of the 

total, respectively. There were significant variations in number concentration at 

different periods. The diurnal variations in number concentrations were evident with high 

concentrations at night and low concentrations during the day. The early peaks were at 

07:00 and 09:00, and number concentrations began to increase rapidly starting at 17:00 

and 18:00 in winter and spring, respectively. The distribution of the number 

concentrations was unimodal, with peak sizes between 0.583 and 0.626 &mu;m in winter and 

less than 0.542 &mu;m in spring. With the increase in relative humidity, aerosol number 

concentrations increased gradually; at the same time, the peak size moved to a larger 

diameter which reflected the influence of hygroscopic growth of aerosols. During the 

total observation period, it reached 83.3% of the proportion of hazy days. The number 

concentration of particles less than 2.0 &mu;m increased significantly with the increase 

in the haze pollution level, which was more obvious in winter. In spring, the proportion 

of fine particles increased with the increase in the haze level but in winter, it 

decreased during hazy days due to a significant increase in particle size caused by 

aging. The analysis of the typical pollution process in January indicated that there was 

a strong correlation between the source of air mass and the surface wind direction. 

Pollutants transmitted from the northern Jiangsu Province and the accumulation of 

pollutants due to slow winds were important causations of the pollution process.<br/>

Abstract:Concentrations and composition of six organophosphate esters (OPEs) in drinking 

water in the Weifang Binhai Economic-Technological Development Area were detected by 

solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-

MS/MS). The correlations of OPEs in drinking water and pooled serum samples from the 

Weifang Binhai Economic-Technological Development Area were analyzed. The health risk 

posed by OPEs in drinking water was evaluated using the health risk assessment model 

recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The results 

showed that &sum;<inf>6</inf>OPEs concentrations in the tap water samples ranged from 

162-253 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, while &sum;<inf>6</inf>OPEs concentrations in 

groundwater ranged from 3.52-13.9 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, two orders of magnitude lower 

than that in the tap water. Tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate (TCEP) was the dominant OPE in 

the tap water samples, with the median level accounting for 94.81% of the 

&sum;<inf>6</inf>OPEs. Triphenyl phosphate (TPhP) was the dominant OPE in groundwater, 

with the median level accounting for 47.55% of the &sum;<inf>6</inf>OPEs. The composition 

of OPEs in the human mixed serum collected in 2011 and 2015 was strongly correlated with 

that in the tap water (r=0.990, P&lt;0.01 and r=0.997, P&lt;0.01, respectively). This 

indicates the significant contribution of OPEs in drinking water to OPEs in human serum. 

The daily intake (DI) of OPEs via drinking water was 0.26-7.48 ng&middot;(kg&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>and the non-cancer risk hazard quotient (HQ) of OPEs in drinking water 

ranged from 10<sup>-5.81</sup>-10<sup>-2.43</sup>, indicating a negligible non-cancer 

risk to the local residents exposed to OPEs through drinking water. The carcinogenic 

risks posed by TCEP in drinking water ranged from 10<sup>-8.82</sup>-10<sup>-6.79</sup>, 

which was lower than the theoretical threshold (Risk=10<sup>-6.00</sup>), while the 

carcinogenic risk of TCEP in tap water was higher than that in groundwater.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:The continuous flow reactor was used to treat simulated ammonia nitrogen 

wastewater by inoculating the sludge after filtration and adding a suspended filler. 

Regulations of free ammonia (FA), free nitrous acid (FNA), and dissolved oxygen (DO) in 

the reactor were the key to achieving a successful start-up of the pilot scale 

nitrosation reactor. The results show that the enrichment of ammonium oxidizing bacteria 

(AOB) and the elimination of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are achieved by adjusting 

the operational mode of high DO, low DO, FA, and FNA in the reactor operation. The 

nitrite production rate (NPR) in the reactor was 1.27 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>and the nitrogen accumulation rate (NAR) was stable at 98% at the end of the 

start-up period. qPCR was used to study the difference in the functional microorganisms 

(AOB, NOB) between the beginning and the end of the start-up period. The results show 

that the copy number of microbial AOB grew from 

5.3&times;10<sup>9</sup>copies&middot;mL<sup>-1</sup>to

Abstract:In recent years, the fluorescence spectrum technology has been widely applied to 

study the physical and chemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural 

water. In order to reveal the properties of the dissolved organic matter in reservoir 

water, the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and the parallel factor analysis were 

used to determine the properties of DOM and its sources in the Wulixia reservoir during 

the winter of 2016. Moreover, the chemical characteristics of water and the relative 

proportion of DOM fluorescent components were estimated. Results show that: &#9312; 

Ca<sup>2+</sup>and HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>are the main cations and anions in the

Abstract:A C2-C6 hydrocarbons monitoring campaign was carried out in the Beijing 

Southeastern Urban Area during December 2015. Twenty-five compounds excluding benzene 

were detected by an on-line VOCs analyzer; the sum of their concentrations is referred to 

as C2-C6 HCs in this study. During the monitoring period, C2-C6 HCs ranged from 

12.4&times;10<sup>-9</sup>to 297.5&times;10<sup>-9</sup>. The mean value of C2-C6 HCs 

reached 29.4&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 63.2&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, 85.5&times;10<sup>-

9</sup>, 94.9&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, and 131.8&times;10<sup>-9</sup>, respectively, in AQ 

I (air quality) (hourly PM<inf>2.5</inf>&lt;35 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), AQ II 

(hourly PM<inf>2.5</inf>: 35-75 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), AQ III (hourly 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>: 75-150 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), AQ IV (hourly PM<inf>2.5</inf>: 

150-250 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), and AQ V (hourly PM<inf>2.5</inf>: &gt;250 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>). Moreover, the mole percentage of alkanes, alkenes, and 

ethyne significantly varied, 47% vs. 59%, 45% vs. 30%, and 7% vs. 12% (AQ I vs. AQ V). 

The diurnal variation of C2-C6 HCs presented two peaks at 08:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:00 not 

only in clean days (when 24-h PM<inf>2.5</inf>&lt;75 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>) but 

also in polluted days (when 24-h PM<inf>2.5</inf>&gt;75 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>). 

This result is consistent with the normal traffic pattern and indicates the significant 

impact of vehicle emissions on atmospheric hydrocarbon concentrations. Furthermore, we 

calculated the HCs/CO (&times;10<sup>-9</sup>/&times;10<sup>-6</sup>) ratio to prevent 

the impact of meteorological diffusion on C2-C6 HCs and to trace the physical transport 

process and the chemical degradation process of hydrocarbons. The C2-C6 HCs/CO ratio and 

the individual hydrocarbon to CO ratio presented a notable decreasing trend with 

worsening air quality, 90.6 (AQ I), 63.8 (AQ II), 56.9 (AQ III), 37.4 (AQ IV), and 36.4 

(AQ V). However, the rate of decrease in the ratio of individual hydrocarbons to CO in 

the polluted period (AQ III-V) relative to the clean period (AQ I-II) was never 

effectively related to the kinetic parameters of the reactions with the OH radical. 

Therefore, the strong chemical degradation of C2-C6 hydrocarbons in the polluted air was 

denied as the main reason. The HYSPLIT trajectory model showed that the transported air 

mass from the north and northwest and from the south and southwest prevail in the clean 

period and in the polluted period, respectively. Compared to the northern region, there 

were more sources of fossil fuel combustion in the southern region, which led to a lower 

HCs/CO ratio for the air mass in the southern region. Therefore, the increase in C2-C6 

hydrocarbons during the polluted period was not only caused by the accumulation of local 

emissions but also by the air mass transport from the south.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to determine the optimal sludge source of anaerobic ammonium oxidation 

(ANAMMOX) and the rapid formation of ANAMMOX granular sludge, two CAMBRs (combined ABR 

and MBR) were compared for ANAMMOX enrichment with different inoculated sludge types, the 

anaerobic granular sludge (R1) and flocculent denitrifying sludge (R2). The results 

showed that ANAMMOX was successfully initiated after 45 d (R1) and 60 d (R2) in both 

reactors, respectively. The enrichment processes are divided into three different phases, 

lag phase, activity elevation phase, and stationary phase but the removal rules of 

nitrogen in each phase were different. In the steady phase, the average removal rates of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were higher than 95%. In 

addition, the red ANAMMOX granular sludge with the main diameter of 0.8-1.6 mm was formed 

in R1 while the flocculent sludge and irregular block with a low degree of granulation 

were mainly developed in R2. The phenomenon of red granular sludge floating in the two 

reactors was also observed. The quantitative relationship analysis between 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, NO<inf>2</inf>-N, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N showed 

the occurrence of nitrate-dependent ANAMMOX, which resulted in the oxidation of excess 

ammonia and the typical nitrite-dependent ANAMMOX occurred in R2.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:As one of the drinking water sources for Guiyang City in southwest China, the 

Aha Reservoir has an area of 190 km<sup>2</sup>and a volume of 

5.42&times;10<sup>8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>. The water depth is less than 30 m, with an 

average depth of 13 m. Regulated by subtropical humid monsoon climate, it has cool 

summers and warm winters, with an annual mean air temperature of about 15.3&#8451; and an 

annual normal rainfall of approximately 1,129 mm. Impacted heavily by human activity 

(e.g., untreated industrial and domestic sewage and agricultural non-point pollution 

sources), the eutrophication problem in the Aha Reservoir has become more serious each 

year. In order to explore the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of 

chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and its relationship to algae and the driving factors in the Aha 

Reservoir, phytoplankton and water samples were collected in the dry period, normal 

period, and flood period. The results showed a significant seasonal variation in Chl-a, 

same as biomass, but not the same as the algal abundance. Highest Chl-a concentration (91 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) occurred in the mean season with the dinoflagellate bloom 

but during dry and wet seasons, they were only 8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 16 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. During the dry and flood periods, the Chl-a 

concentrations in surface waters were slightly higher than the other layers caused by 

sufficient light and dissolved oxygen. But in the normal period, the Chl-a concentrations 

in surface waters were far higher than the other layers because of the dinoflagellate 

bloom assembling in surface waters. Located at the reservoir entrance of Jinzhong River, 

Dam sampling point owned higher Chl-a concentration than Kuzhong as a result of higher 

nutrients. Correlation analysis indicated that Dinoflagellate was positively correlated 

with Chl-a (R=0.798, P&lt;0.01). Chl-a was positively associated with total phosphorus, 

dissolved oxygen, pH value, and total nitrogen (R=0.762, P&lt;0.01; R=0.792, P&lt;0.01; 

R=0.658, P&lt;0.01; R=0.388, P&lt;0.05) and it had a negative correlation with the N/P 

ratio and nitrate nitrogen (R=-0.37, P&lt;0.05; R=-0.435, P&lt;0.05). Stepwise regression 

analysis showed that TP, N/P ratio, and DO were the most important factors influencing 

the temporal and spatial distribution of Chl-a. Thermal stratification and water 

temperature were also the significant factors that could not be ignored.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:The distribution patterns of human activities affecting groundwater 

vulnerability vary with time. Studying the temporal and spatial changes in groundwater 

vulnerability, exploring the distribution characteristics of each period, and predicting 

the trends of development are important to formulate an effective development plan and 

reduce the risk of groundwater pollution at the same time. Based on the hydrogeological 

data as well as humanities and social data for 2004, 2010, and 2016 for the Chaoyang 

District of Beijing, a comprehensive evaluation model considering the human factors such 

as the land use types was established using the DRASTIC model. The spatiotemporal pattern 

of groundwater vulnerability was quantitatively characterized by calculating the Global 

Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi<sup>*</sup>index, and the distribution characteristics and 

variations in groundwater vulnerability were analyzed by the centroid of the G index and 

the standard deviation ellipse of the study area. The results indicate that in 2004, 

2010, and 2016, the areas of high vulnerability have gradually reduced. The groundwater 

vulnerability in the study area shows a strong spatial aggregation; high concentration 

areas are mainly distributed in the northeast and southwest regions. The vulnerability of 

the northeast region has been decreasing each year, while the vulnerability of the 

northwest region has not changed much. The main reasons are the land use changes and the 

reductions in fertilizer use.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A total of 110 topsoil samples and 61 crop samples along the Lantian-Yangdong 

Villages were collected in Shizhong, Longyan City. The total amount and speciation of 

heavy metals(Pb, Cd, As) in soil and crops were determined. The characteristics of the 

absorption of heavy metals by specific crops in the study area were analyzed, and a new 

method of risk assessment based on the heavy metal speciation and its bioavailability was 

established by statistical analysis. This new method was used to evaluate the soil 

ecological risk and to compare it with the traditional method of potential ecological 

risk index (RI). The results indicated that the Lantian-Yangdong Villages were located in 

an area where Pb, Cd, and As mainly originate from the natural soil parent material with 

weak human disturbance. There was no significant Pb or As pollution in the whole region. 

Cd was the main pollutant with low pollution intensity. Four types of biological 

components except for the residual form followed the order of Cd(53.28%)&gt;Pb(43.28%)

&gt;As(30.71%). Correlation and regression analyses of total metal concentrations, heavy 

metal speciation, and crop uptake in the study area showed that the correlations between 

the total amount of heavy metals and the ion exchange state, carbonate state, and other 

active forms were low; the results even showed nonlinear relationships between those 

variables.The ion exchange state had the greatest effect on the absorption of Pb, Cd, and 

As by coix seed and rice. From the perspective of bioavailability, the new method based 

on the heavy metal speciation was more accurate than the traditional method based on the 

total amount of heavy metals.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, is widely used for the ecological 

restoration of eutrophic freshwater bodies, but little is known about its microbial 

interactions and nitrogen removal potential. In this study, we compared the relative 

importance of E. crassipes and bacteria in nitrogen removal. We also examined the plant's 

ability to modulate the abundance and diversity of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. 

Nitrogen removal and the genetic potential for nitrification and denitrification, 

determined using quantitative polymerase chain reactions (qPCRs) of the nitrification 

gene amoA and the denitrification genes nirS/K, were evaluated in microcosms containing 

water from a eutrophic lake with or without E. crassipes. The results showed that total 

nitrogen (TN) losses on day 70 of the experiment were similar in all treatments but the 

uptake by E. crassipes resulted in the rapid (within 24 h) removal of TN and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N. In microcosms containing E. crassipes, the abundance of 

amoA increased whereas the abundances of nirS/K decreased. The T-RFLP (terminal 

restriction fragment length polymorphism) profiles showed that Nitrosomonas dominated the 

ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes, based on the DNA and RNA levels of the targeted genes. The 

E. crassipes cultivation can be used to achieve fast and efficient reductions in 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N concentrations in eutrophic water bodies. While this aquatic 

macrophyte may not be essential to N removal, considering the potential toxicity of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, both aquaphytes and microbes should be fully exploited in 

the restoration of freshwater ecosystems.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Controlling air pollution in the Jing-jin-ji urban agglomeration (JJJUA), the 

most seriously polluted area in China, is related to the integrated development strategy 

for the region. Based on the national and regional implementation of air pollution 

control measures in recent years, the hierarchical cross-regional multi-directional 

linkage (HCML) air pollution prevention and control model was applied in this study. The 

effect of air pollution control was evaluated by monitoring the pollutants, 

SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>, PM<inf>10</inf>, PM<inf>2.5</inf>, O<inf>3</inf>, and CO, 

at 112 monitoring sites in 13 cities in 2014-2015. The results can be summarized as 

follows: &#9312; The HCML model is an interrelated framework at the horizontal and 

vertical level. Under the efforts provided by the central, urban agglomeration, and city 

governments, this multi-level governance model serves as an effective tool to resolve the 

issues related to air pollution beyond the borders of municipalities. Environmental 

regulations on certain industries, energy consumption structure, car ownership and usage, 

and air quality supervision and warning systems are well established under this 

governance model. &#9313; The air quality of the JJJUA has improved significantly in the 

past two years. The concentrations of air pollutants significantly decreased, with the 

exception of O<inf>3</inf>, and high pollution ranges significantly reduced from north to 

south. The annual average concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, PM<inf>10</inf>, 

SO<inf>2</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>, and CO decreased by 17.84%, 14.61%, 37.55%, 4.82%, and 

16.18%, respectively. The number of days meeting the air quality standards increased for 

all pollutants except NO<inf>2</inf>. Based on the current situation and unsolved 

problems of air pollution, the JJJUA area needs certain measures including diversifying 

the governance subjects, joint legislation (beyond municipalities) on air pollution to 

regulate pollution discharge, enhancing public awareness on air pollution and its health 

impacts, carefully examining sources of air pollution in winter to reduce pollution, and 

to better understand the sources of ozone and adopt effective control measures.<br/>

Abstract:The swine wastewater after treated with an anaerobic reactor was used to 

investigate the removal efficiency of COD, ammonia nitrogen, and total nitrogen in an 

ecological high hydraulic loading soil infiltration system. Meanwhile, the microbial 

community structure and the contents of the catalase, urease, and nitrate reductase were 

analyzed. The results showed that with the hydraulic load of 11 cm&middot;d<sup>-

1</sup>and the influent COD concentration of 700 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the removal 

rate of COD was 78.8%, 63.0%, and 92.6%for the first land infiltration column, the 

secondary land infiltration column, and the total system, respectively. When the 

hydraulic load increased to 22 cm&middot;d<sup>-1</sup>; the total removal rate of COD 

was also above 90.0%. The system was more significant for ammonia nitrogen removal. The 

removal rate of ammonia nitrogen reached approximately 99%. The contents of catalase were 

1.899, 0.990, and 0.323 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>at the upper, middle, and bottom sections 

of the system, respectively. The organic matter in the swine wastewater was removed at 

the upper and middle of the system. On the secondary soil infiltration system, the 

content of nitrate reductase was 3.453, 3.831, and 1.971 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. Denitrification mainly occurred in the upper and middle of the secondary 

soil infiltration system. Gram Negative and Gram Positive bacteria were given priority in 

the soil infiltration system. Especially, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Actinomycetes 

dominated the secondary soil infiltration system. The system provides a guarantee for the 

removal of the refractory organic compounds from the swine wastewater.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The contamination levels and distribution characteristics of four 

organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) in 25 outdoor dust samples collected in Suzhou 

were quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The 

exposure to OPFRs via ingestion and inhalation of dust were also estimated for adults, 

children, and professional street sweepers. Four types of OPFRs were detected in all dust 

samples at different levels; the total OPFRs concentrations ranged from non-detected (ND) 

to 8 901.66 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, with a median of 1 039.21 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. 

The concentrations of TCPP, TBEP, TDCPP, and TCEP were in the range of 0-6 931.46, 0-2 

021.15, 0-788.44, and 0-62.16 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The daily intake of 

&sum;OPFRs under a high dust ingestion scenario was 125.68, 915.78, and 6 314.16 

pg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for adults, children, and professional street sweepers, 

respectively. The estimated exposure of children to &sum;OPFRs was six times higher than 

that of adults. However, the daily intake of OPFRs via dust inhalation was 3.07E-02, 

1.89E-02, and 1.54E-01 pg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>for adults, children, and professional 

street sweepers, respectively. These findings indicated that the occurrence of OPFRs in 

the dust poses a significant risk to children and professional street sweepers.<br/>

Abstract:In order to analyze and compare the pollution characteristics and risks to human 

health of metallic elements in the PM<inf>2.5</inf>fraction of urban road dust (RD) and 

park road dust (PRD), particles smaller than 2.5 &mu;m were suspended to filters by a 

re-suspension system and concentrations of Na, Mg, Al, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni, Sb, Zn, Cd, and Pb 

were quantified. Results showed that the average concentrations of Cu and Sb in RD were 

626 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 23 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, significantly higher than 

that in PRD (274 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 11 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>). This 

indicated that the elemental composition of RD was influenced by non-exhaust emissions. 

The geoaccumulation Index (I<inf>geo</inf>) of each detected element showed that samples 

were strongly to extremely contaminated by Cd (4&lt;I<inf>geo</inf>&lt;5), moderately to 

strongly contaminated by Cu, Sb, Zn, and Pb (2&lt;I<inf>geo</inf>&lt;4), and 

uncontaminated to moderately contaminated by Ni and Mn (I<inf>geo</inf>&lt;1). The hazard 

index (HI) values of Sb, Pb, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Cd were less than 1 and the incremental 

lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) values of Ni and Cd were less than 10<sup>-6</sup>, 

indicating that these elements of RD and PRD are not associated with any cancer risks or 

non-cancer health risks.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Large-scale cyanobacteria bloom occurred in the summer of 2014 in the Guishi 

Reservoir that is an important drinking water source for Hezhou City. The dynamic change 

regularity, external pollution sources, and the phytoplankton community characteristics 

during the bloom were investigated to evaluate the eutrophication in the reservoir and to 

present effective prevention and control measures. The results showed that nitrogen and 

phosphorus concentrations increased year by year; water quality on some sites has been 

out of class II of national water quality standards; and the main pollution source was 

the agricultural non-point sources. Phytoplankton cell density was in the range of 

8.60&times;10<sup>6</sup>-5.36&times;10<sup>8</sup>cells&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 

chlorophyll a concentrations reached 74.48 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>during the bloom. 

The dominant species was Microcystis wesenbergii whose density reached 

5.36&times;10<sup>8</sup>cells&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The cell density decreased over 

time and concentrated on the surface and at the depth of 2 m underwater. The total 

phytoplankton cell density was strongly correlated to total phosphorus, total nitrogen, 

nitrate nitrogen, and the permanganate index, and was inversely correlated to 

transparency. The water in the Guishi Reservoir was not polluted by microcystic toxins. 

Moreover, Guishi Reservoir is in a meso-eutrophic state; therefore, the prevention and 

control of the cyanobacteria bloom should focus on weather conditions and on reducing the 

input of nitrogen and phosphorus to keep the nutrient levels low.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Five levels (180 m, 175 m, 165 m, 155 m, and 140 m) in a typical drawdown area 

in Wangjiagou in the Three Gorges Reservoir were selected to study 

CH<inf>4</inf>emissions from subtropical reservoirs. The experimental period lasted two 

years from September 2010 to August 2012. The methods of static opaque chambers during 

the drainage period and floating chambers during flooding period were used in this study. 

The elevations of 175 m, 165 m, and 155 m were all located in the drawdown area, whereas 

the 180 m elevation was located in the land and never flooded. The 140 m elevation was 

permanently flooded and used as a control area. The results showed that the 

CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes showed no significant trends at 175 m and 165 m in the first year of 

the experiment, while the fluxes showed a single peak pattern with the climax in the 

summer at 155 m and 140 m. At 175 m, the CH<inf>4</inf>emissions showed a single peak 

pattern with the climax during its flooding period, and then showed not regular 

CH<inf>4</inf>emission sources or sinks alternately in the second year, whereas the 

CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes at 165 m, 155 m, and 140 m presented a single-peak shape with winter 

climax. During the entire observation period, the CH<inf>4</inf>emission fluxes at 180 m 

were stable and showed no obvious peaks. In addition, CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes were higher 

during the flooding period than in the drainage period at 175 m, 165 m, and 155 m.The 

order of the annual CH<inf>4</inf>cumulative emissions at the five elevations was 140 m 

(99.58 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;155 m (82.98 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;165 m 

(65.38 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;180 m (6.32 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;175 m 

(4.27kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>), suggesting that the soil was more conducive to 

CH<inf>4</inf>production when the flooding period was longer. Correlation analysis 

indicated that there were no significant correlations between CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes and 

the soil carbon component and pH on land and during the drainage period but 

CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes increased with the increase in soil water content. There was a 

significant linear negative correlation between CH<inf>4</inf>emissions from the gas-

water interface at 140 m and in water. The soil moisture content was one of the key 

factors affecting the CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes during the drainage period, while during 

flooding period, the CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes were regulated by flooding depth.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:PM<inf>10</inf>samples were collected at the top of Jiuxian Mountain in Fujian 

Province from March 2011 to January 2012 and were analyzed for inorganic water-soluble 

ions and dicarboxylic acids to investigate their seasonal variations and sources. The 

results showed that PM<inf>10</inf>and its associated species exhibited much higher 

levels in the spring than those in other seasons but the total contribution of the nine 

species of dicarboxylic acids to PM<inf>10</inf>(0.51%&plusmn;0.41%) was significantly 

lower than that of the water-soluble ions (18.07%&plusmn;8.73%). The water-soluble ions 

were characterized by the highest concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, followed by Na<sup>+</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>. 

Significant positive correlations were observed between cation and anion equivalents, as 

well as between NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>or 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>equivalents. Individual dicarboxylic acid showed a 

monotonically decreasing trend with increasing carbon number in which oxalic acid 

accounted for approximately 75% of the total dicarboxylic acids. Characteristic ratios of 

malonic acid to succinic acid and adipic acid to azelaic acid, MODIS fire spots, and 

backward trajectories showed that dicarboxylic acids mainly originated from secondary 

reactions in the atmosphere and that the direct contributions of open biomass burning to 

dicarboxylic acid concentrations were negligible.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Bioaugmented compost was created by inoculating petroleum-degrading bacteria 

into mature compost. The petroleum hydrocarbon degradation efficiencies were investigated 

by applying this enhanced compost to petroleum-contaminated soil under low temperatures. 

The results showed that the degrading bacteria can be enriched in the mature compost. 

After 30 d of remediation, the removal efficiency of TPH, alkanes, and PAHs in the soil 

was 27.0%, 19.6%, and 10.0%, compared to natural attenuation (CK), which was 4.5%, 9.5%, 

and 2.3%, respectively. In response to remediation, the relative abundance of 

Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria phyla decreased from 53.4% and 25.9% to 48.9% and 

14.1%, respectively, and Bacteroidetes phylum increased from 5.0% to 24.5%. At the genus 

level, the relative abundance of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas increased from 0.02% and 

3.4% to 15.2% and 4.6%, respectively. The results indicated that the bioaugmented compost

Abstract:Soil samples were collected in the fluctuating zone of the Three Gorges 

Reservoir to analyze the concentrations and distribution of phthalate esters (PAEs) using 

ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry 

(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). Meanwhile, the interrelationships among the PAE congeners were analyzed 

and the potential sources of PAEs in soil were determined by the correlation analysis and 

principal component analysis. The results showed that the concentrations of &sum;PAEs 

ranged from 322.0-737.3 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dry weight, with a mean value of 497.2 

ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dry weight, which lies at the low end of the worldwide Figures. 

DIBP was the most abundant PAEs congener, followed by DBP and DEHP, contributing to 94.5% 

of the total PAEs. However, DEHP was not the main pollutant in this study compared to 

other studies, which might be ascribed to the release of DEHP from the flooded soil to 

the surrounding water but the degradation by microorganisms in the soil cannot be 

completely ruled out. Significant interrelationships were observed among DMP, DEP, DBP, 

and DIBP. The principal component analysis showed that DMP, DEP, DBP, and DIBP may have 

similar sources. In this study, the daily intake dose was lower than the reference dose 

(RfD) proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the 

carcinogenic risk of six PAE congeners was far below the tolerable values proposed by the 

USEPA. Nevertheless, the daily intake dose of DBP accounted for 60% to 84% of total PAEs; 

thus, more attention should be paid to the potential health risks of DBP.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Coking wastewater contains high-strength refractory organic pollutants and is 

commonly treated by biological treatment processes. To improve the efficiency of 

biological treatment, two laboratory scale processes, anaerobic membrane 

bioreactor/anoxic/aerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR-A-MBR) and anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic 

membrane bioreactor (A<sup>2</sup>-MBR), were developed for coking wastewater treatment. 

The removal of main pollutants and the stability of different pollutant loadings were 

compared under the optimum operating conditions. Acute toxicity distribution, variations, 

and toxic matter characteristics of the two processes were investigated by solid-phase 

extraction, components separation, the luminous bacteria Q67 test, and three-dimensional 

fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that the organic pollutant removal rate of 

AnMBR was 15.3%, which was significantly higher than the anaerobic stage of the 

A<sup>2</sup>-MBR system (3.4%), and the AnMBR-A-MBR system had greater resistance to 

pollutant loading. Acute toxicity of AnMBR-A-MBR system in each stage effluent was lower 

than the A<sup>2</sup>-MBR system and the total toxic unit removal rate of both were 

85.2% and 79.2%, respectively. The acute toxicity of the polar component in each stage 

effluent was the highest, and the polar and mid-polar components contributed to the 

majority of the toxicity. The toxicity of each stage effluent mainly originated from 

Region II aromatic protein analogues, which could be the main acute toxicity substances 

of the polar component.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on the removal of total heterotrophic bacteria (HPC) and antibiotic 

resistant bacteria (ARB), including the ampicillin resistant bacteria (AMP), erythromycin 

resistant bacteria (ERY), tetracycline resistant bacteria (TET), kanamycin resistant 

bacteria (KAN), and ciprofloxacin resistant bacteria (CIP), this study investigates the 

enhanced removal performance of ARB by different disinfection technologies. The 

experimental results showed that ARB removal by ultraviolet (UV) disinfection from the 

wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was only 18.2%-40.9% and AMP was the highest in 

content. ERY could be selectively removed by different disinfection technologies; 

however, there was no distinguished selective removal performance for other four types of 

ARB (P&lt;0.05). For ARB, COD and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N removal, the optimal 

ozone, chlorination, and UV concentration or dosage were 5.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

25.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 45.0 mJ&middot;cm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively, and the 

corresponding ARB removal efficiencies were 45.5%-74.5%, 66.1%-85.5%, and 68.6%-85.5%. 

Furthermore, the combined UV and chlorine treatment could achieve better ARB removal 

performance.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Using a wide-range particle spectrometer (WPS), an environmental management 

system (EMS), KC-120H middle volume sampler, a 850 professional ion chromatography 

analyzer, and heat/light carbon analyzer (DRI2001A), we observed the number concentration 

of aerosols with sizes ranging from 10 nm to 10 &mu;m, gas concentrations, and 

concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, water-soluble ions, OC, and EC in a Lin'an 

atmospheric background station from January 9 to 31, 2015. The positive matrix 

factorization (PMF) model was applied for source apportionment, and the size distribution 

and diurnal variations of emission sources were analyzed based on the meteorological 

data. The average aerosol concentration was 5 062 cm<sup>-3</sup>&middot;nm<sup>-

1</sup>and PM<inf>2.5</inf>mass concentration was 123.6 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The 

average concentrations of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, the main water-soluble ions in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were 19.2, 

15.4, and 10.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, which accounted for 37.9%, 30.4%, and 21.4% 

of total water-soluble ions, respectively. Theaverage concentrations of OC and EC were 

24.4 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 6.6 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Secondary aerosol 

formation, coal combustion, motor vehicle emissions, dust, andbiomass burning were the 

main sources of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in Lin'an during winter with contributions of 42.3%, 

21.4%, 17.1%, 8.7%, and 10.6%, respectively. Different sources had different aerosol 

number concentration distributions. The aerosol number concentration spectra of secondary 

sources, vehicle emissions, dust, and biomass burning followed unimodal-type 

distributions with peaks at 120, 50, 100, and 90 nm. Coal particle number concentration 

was a bimodal distribution which exhibited peak values at 25 nm and 100 nm (19 842 

cm<sup>-3</sup>&middot;nm<sup>-1</sup>and 18 372 cm<sup>-3</sup>&middot;nm<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively). The spectra of surface concentrations of secondary sources, coal 

combustion, motor vehicle emissions, dust, and biomass burning followed a three-peak 

distribution. The peaks were at 650, 210, 160, 180, and 575 nm. The diurnal variations of 

particle number concentrations influenced by diurnal variations in the boundary layer and 

human activities were consistent with the variations in surface concentrations, which 

displayed bimodal-type distribution.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Heavy metals pollution in the sediments is one of the main factors impacting the 

water quality and ecosystem health. In this study, concentrations of ten metals in nine 

sediment cores from the Chenghai Lake were determined. Chronology of a typical core 

(CH2012) was constructed by the<sup>210</sup>Pb and<sup>137</sup>Cs dating method. The 

spatio-temporal variations in concentrations and contamination characteristics of As, Cd, 

Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn were evaluated. The potential eco-risks of heavy metals in the 

surface sediments were studied by combining the ecological risk index and sediment 

quality guidelines (SQGs) assessment as well as their pollution levels (enrichment 

factors, EF). The metal concentrations in each sediment core showed little vertical 

change with coefficients of variation of less than 0.20, except for Cd, whose coefficient 

of variation was 0.59. Spatially, the average concentrations of each metal showed minor 

difference among the cores, with ratios ranging from 1.2 to 1.8, suggesting similar 

sedimentary characteristics of metals in the whole lake. Cd and Pb were influenced by 

anthropogenic contamination that has started in the mid-1980s. The pollution level of Cd 

decreased in the past decade and still belongs to the moderate pollution degree, whereas 

the pollution level of Pb increased continually and could be classified as the weak 

pollution degree. The Hg contamination began in the late 1990s, with EFs ranging from 0.9 

to 1.6, belonging to the weak pollution degree. The As, Cu, and Zn pollution occurred 

mainly near the surface sediments with weak pollution degrees. Spatially, there were no 

obvious trends in pollution levels of the metals. The heavy metals pollution is mainly 

influenced by atmospheric deposition that originates from non-ferrous metal smelting 

emissions, as well as agricultural and domestic discharges. As, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the 

surface sediments have low potential ecological risks, whereas Hg and Cd may pose 

middle-high potential risks.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To determine the spatial-temporal distributions and potential sources of metals 

in PM<inf>2.5</inf>and assess health risks from heavy metals, 348 PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples 

were collected in the Haicang District of Xiamen, China from April 2015 to January 2016. 

Metals (K, Ca, Na, Mg, Al, Zn, Cu, Fe, Ti, As, V, Mn, Ba, Co) in PM<inf>2.5</inf>were 

detected using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF). Pollution assessment was performed 

via enrichment factor calculation and health risk assessment. Potential sources were 

explored using Pearson's correlation coefficient, principal component analysis, and the 

HYSPLIT Trajectory Model. Results showed that the total concentration of 14 metal 

elements contributed to 5.4%-10.6% of PM<inf>2.5</inf>during the sampling period. The 

total concentration of metals was higher in spring and winter than those in summer and 

autumn. The concentrations were higher in the port and the industrial areas than in 

residential areas and background locations, in agreement with the seasonal and spatial 

distribution of PM<inf>2.5</inf>. The frequency of PM<inf>2.5</inf>daily concentrations 

exceeding the Chinese Ambient Air Quality Standards was higher in the port and 

residential areas in the summer due to operations at the port and the wind direction. Zn 

concentration was the highest in the industrial area followed by the background location. 

Meanwhile, the highest concentration of V was observed in the port area; V concentration 

in the residential area was high in the summer. These variations in Zn and V indicated 

that the elements emitted in the polluted areas migrated easily to residential and 

background areas. K concentrations were the highest in winter and As showed a higher rate 

of exceeding the standard in winter and spring, indicating that activities, such as 

biomass burning and coal combustion in the winter severely impacted air quality. The 

enrichment factors of Cu, Zn, As, Co, Na, and Mn varied considerably, from 67 to 8,449. 

The total risk level for non-carcinogenic heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Mn) was lower than the 

average level of risk acceptance (1&times;10<sup>-6</sup>a<sup>-1</sup>) and Mn 

contributed 74%-88% of the total risk level of Zn, Cu, and Mn. The combined results of 

the correlation analysis and the principal component analysis revealed that metals in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>were mainly came from re-suspension of ground dust, motor vehicle 

emissions, coal combustion, industrial emissions, and heavy oil combustion, with 

contributions of 34.5%, 12.5%, 10.6%, and 7.8% respectively. The HYSPLIT Trajectory Model 

showed that Xiamen was affected by the local air mass in spring, autumn, and winter, but 

not in summer. Moreover, the rise of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in spring and winter was attributed 

to air masses traveling through the Yangtze River Delta.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:In order to achieve the optimization of the CANON process, ensuring the 

stability of water quality and increasing the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen, the 

stability of CANON process water quality under real-time control was studied in the SBR 

reactor. During the experiment, the temperature was controlled at 

30&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451; and the pH was 7-8, based on the corresponding relationship 

between indirect parameters and nitrogen pollutants, the real-time control strategy was 

formulated. The results showed that when the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration was 

917-1 540 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the residual ammonia nitrogen concentration of 6 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>can be used as the control parameter to meet the requirements of 

process stability but the ammonia nitrogen sensor had many problems such as high costs 

and large errors. The characteristic points and platforms of pH, DO, and ORP value can be 

the automatic control parameters, which can maintain the long-term stable operation of 

the CANON process and ensure that the average ammonia nitrogen removal rate is above 99% 

and the effluent quality is stable.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The health risk of residents exposed to PAH-contaminated outdoor soil and indoor 

dust particles via hand-to-mouth transfer was estimated by developing probabilistic risk 

models. The cancer risk was assessed by applying the Monte Carlo method. The results 

showed that toddlers, children, and teens were at greatest risk of exposure, followed by 

infants, adults, and seniors. The probability of exceeding the acceptable level 10<sup>-

6</sup>was 2% for infants, 5% for toddlers and teens (none of the values were larger than 

the upper limit 10<sup>-4</sup>), 15% for children (0.1% of the values were larger than 

10<sup>-4</sup>); and 1% and 0.1% for adults and seniors, respectively. Indoor dust posed 

a more serious threat than outdoor soil, which accounted for 91% of the total risk; 

indoor hard surfaces were the main sources of indoor dust with a contribution of 65%. The 

most influential variables were the frequency of hand-to-mouth events (FQ), benzo[a]

pyrene from indoor dust (PEF<inf>j</inf>), dust surface load on horizontal soft surfaces 

(DSL<inf>SS</inf>) and hard surfaces (DSL<inf>HS</inf>), and saliva extraction factor

Abstract:Soil microbial community plays an important role in ecosystem functions; 

however, little is known about the importance of microbial diversity to the ecosystems. 

In this study, serial dilution of soil suspension (10<sup>-1</sup>, 10<sup>-3</sup>, and 

10<sup>-5</sup>) was performed and inoculated into the sterilized soils that form the 

broadleaf mixed forests in Pangquangou. The change in the carbon mineralization rate and 

the pattern of the carbon source utilization were studied by titration, Biolog Eco, and 

other experimental methods. The results show that after being incubated for six weeks, 

carbon mineralization rate, the cumulative amount of carbon mineralization, average well 

color development (AWCD), and diversity index (Shannon, McIntosh, and richness index) of 

D1 were significantly higher than those of the D5 treatment. The cumulative amount of 

carbon mineralization and AWCD was strongly and inversely correlated with richness. 

Principal component analysis and one-way ANOVA also indicated that the patterns of carbon 

source utilization of microbially diverse soil were different. Therefore, the loss of 

microbial diversity affects the carbon mineralization rate and the pattern of carbon 

source utilization, leading to functional changes in terrestrial ecosystems. In the 

management of forest soils, the effects of soil microbial diversity on ecosystem 

functions should be considered.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Effect of adding bamboo biochar into the compost at different dosages on 

greenhouse gas emissions was investigated by analyzing the dynamic characteristics of the 

process of municipal sludge composting with four different composts (S1: adding 2.5% 

bamboo biochar, S2: adding 5% bamboo biochar, S3: adding 10% bamboo biochar, CK: without 

bamboo biochar). The results showed that CH<inf>4</inf>emissions mainly occurred during 

the heating period and the beginning of the altithermal period, accounting for 99.01%-

99.81% of the total emissions. When the added bamboo biochar is less than 5%, 

CH<inf>4</inf>emissions decrease with the increase in the amount of bamboo biochar. If it 

is more than 5%, CH<inf>4</inf>emissions will clearly increase. CO<inf>2</inf>emissions 

mainly occurred during the heating period and the altithermal period, accounting for 

75.65%-86.58% of the total emissions. Adding bamboo biochar can reduce 3.37%-13.48% of 

the CO<inf>2</inf>emissions but there is no significant difference between the treatments 

(P&gt;0.05). N<inf>2</inf>O emissions mainly occurred during the heating period and the 

rotten period. Adding bamboo biochar can reduce the emissions of N<inf>2</inf>O; the more 

the amount of bamboo biochar, the less N<inf>2</inf>O emissions (P&lt;0.05). The emission 

factors of CK, S1, S2, and S3 were 44.10, 37.57, 35.10, and 35.44 kg&middot;t<sup>-

1</sup>of dry sludge, respectively. S1, S2, and S3 showed 14.81%-20.41% reduction in 

greenhouse gas emissions owing to the addition of bamboo biochar, indicating that bamboo 

biochar can reduce the carbon emissions in the process of sludge composting.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Size-resolved atmospheric particles were collected monthly from February 2012 to 

January 2013 on the campus of Chengdu University of Technology using the Anderson multi-

stage impactor sampler. The mass concentrations of these samples and the contents of nine 

water-soluble ion species were analyzed. The results showed that the annual average 

concentrations of PM<inf>2.1</inf>and PM<inf>11</inf>in Chengdu during the sampling 

period were (125.9&plusmn;56.14) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and (224.5&plusmn;83.64) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The highest mass concentration of particulate 

matter was observed in winter, followed by spring while the lowest was in autumn. The 

average content of water-soluble ions in particulate matter in Chengdu was about 37.15 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and the order of water-soluble ion mass concentrations was 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>&gt;NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>&gt;NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>&gt;Ca<sup>2+</sup>&gt;Cl<sup>-</sup>&gt;Mg<sup>2+</sup>&gt;K<sup>

+</sup>&gt;Na<sup>+</sup>&gt;F<sup>-</sup>. Meanwhile, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were the major water-soluble 

ionic components that accounted for 78% of total water-soluble ions. Unimodal 

distribution was observed for SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, 

and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>mainly in fine particles, while Ca<sup>2+</sup>and F<sup>-

</sup>were concentrated in coarse particles and their distribution was also unimodal. 

Similar size distributions were found for Cl<sup>-</sup>and K<sup>+</sup>, as well as 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>and Na<sup>+</sup>, both of which were bimodal. The content of water-

soluble ions in both fine and coarse particles during winter and spring was significantly 

higher than that in summer and autumn in Chengdu. Based on the correlation analysis for 

major ions, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>in fine particles are likely in the form of (NH<inf>4</inf>)

<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>, NH<inf>4</inf>HSO<inf>4</inf>, and 

NH<inf>4</inf>NO<inf>3</inf>. In coarse particles, the major water-soluble ions (i.e. 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and Ca<sup>2+</sup>) might exist 

in the forms of Ca(NO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf>and CaSO<inf>4</inf>. The secondary 

formation processes, soil dust, and biomass burning are the major sources of water-

soluble ion species in the particulate matter in Chengdu.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:To better understand the ozone deposition and risk assessment over 

agroecosystems based on the ozone flux indices, an eddy-covariance system was used for 

measuring the ozone deposition continuously and dynamically in a winter wheat field. We 

analyzed the variations in ozone concentration, total ozone flux, and stomatal and non-

stomatal flux. The relationships between stomatal/non-stomatal ozone deposition velocity 

and the main meteorological factors were investigated. Finally, the yield losses of 

winter wheat based on the ozone-dose index (AOT40) and ozone flux index 

(DF<inf>s</inf>06) were calculated. Results showed that average daily ozone concentration 

(c<inf>O3</inf>) was 32.9 nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The daytime (08:00-18:00) and 

nighttime total ozone flux (F<inf>O3</inf>) were -7.6 nmol&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>and -3.1 nmol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, and the mean diurnal F<inf>O3</inf>was -5.1 nmol&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>. The mean daily stomatal ozone flux (F<inf>s</inf>) 

and non-stomatal ozone flux (F<inf>ns</inf>) ranged from 0 to -5.1 nmol&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>and from -1.43 to -10.31 nmol&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The mean diurnal F<inf>s</inf>and 

F<inf>ns</inf>were -1.43 nmol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>and -3.66 

nmol&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;s)<sup>-1</sup>. High solar radiation (SR), high 

temperature (T), and moderate humidity were used to analyze stomatal ozone deposition; 

high SR, moderate T, and high humidity were suitable to analyze non-stomatal ozone 

deposition. The cumulative total ozone flux (DF<inf>O3</inf>), cumulative stomatal ozone 

flux (DF<inf>s</inf>), and cumulative non-stomatal ozone flux (DF<inf>ns</inf>) were 

31.58, 9.99, and 21.59 mmol&middot;m<sup>-2</sup>during the entire experimental period, 

and DF<inf>s</inf>and DF<inf>ns</inf>accounted for 32% and 68% of DF<inf>O3</inf>. The 

ranges of yield loss in winter wheat were estimated at 11.58%-20.37% and 20%-23.56% using 

different assessment models based on the ozone dose index AOT40 and ozone flux index 

DF<inf>s</inf>06, respectively.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Real-time aerosol extinction retrieved by Micro-pulse LIDAR and concentrations 

of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>in Beijing were analyzed to investigate the air 

quality during the Spring Festival. The results showed that fireworks on the New Year's 

Eve resulted in a sharp increase in particulate matter concentrations in a short time. 

The maximum concentration of PM<inf>2.5</inf>at Guanyuan station was 639.3 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, which increased by nearly 30 times in 9 h. The maximum 

hourly concentration of particulate matter at Dingling and Liulihe suburban stations were 

significantly higher than that in Guanyuan station, the maximum values were more than 1 

000 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The particulate matter levels were continuously high on 

February 10-12 and the concentration of particulate matter at Dingling and Liulihe 

suburban stations were higher than that at Guanyuan. LIDAR results showed no obvious 

changes in the extinction coefficient at Dingling on the New Year's Eve. The extinction 

coefficient at Liulihe was greater than 1 km<sup>-1</sup>, but the particulate matter 

pollution was concentrated at altitudes less than 400 m. The extinction coefficient at 

Chegongzhuang was still higher than 0.4 km<sup>-1</sup>at 500 m; however, the duration of 

pollution was shorter than that of Liulihe. The extinction coefficients at 105 m at all 

three stations during the New Year's Eve were significantly higher than those at 405 m. 

There were significant differences in the vertical extinction characteristics of the 

three sites. The background maximum values of Dingling, Chegongzhuang, and Liulihe were 

0.09 km<sup>-1</sup>, 0.20 km<sup>-1</sup>, and 0.19 km<sup>-1</sup>under 1.0 km, 

respectively. The maximum extinction coefficients at 00:00 (midnight) were 0.23 km<sup>-

1</sup>, 1.36 km<sup>-1</sup>, and 1.19 km<sup>-1</sup>, which were 2.6 times, 6.8 times, 

and 6.0 times higher than the background value at the same time, respectively. In 

summary, discharge of fireworks led to a dramatic increase in the extinction coefficient 

of particulate matter. Temperature inversion and lower wind speeds were the main 

meteorological factors that contributed to this pollution event.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:To explore the temporal and spatial variations and the process of trace element 

migration in the karst critical zone, continuous fixed-point monitoring and sampling 

analysis was applied to measure each cave system component, which includes rainfall, 

soils, bedrock, drip waters, and their aerial sediment. Approximately 650 experimental 

data were obtained from October 2009 to May 2015 in a typical karst critical zone in 

north China-an interactive zone of the Jiguan Cave in the west Henan Province. The 

variations in and the migration rules of Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr, and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C as 

well as their ratios to different components were studied. The results show that: (1) 

Soil and bedrock are the main sources of drip water. The values of Mg, Ba, and Sr are 

consistent with the &ldquo;soil-bedrock&rdquo; two end-members model and their respective 

proportions are 43.6:56.4, 1.01:98.09, and 47.2:52.8. (2) From the spatial perspective, 

element migration of each component in the cave system interactive zone is interrelated. 

Drip water inherits the signals of the soil and bedrock and the modern sediment can 

continue the element information of the drip water. Elements in the soil profile cause 

the leaching and deposition effect and the subsoil better inherits the information of 

trace elements in the bedrock. (3) From the temporal perspective, the migration of 

elements in the cave system interactive zone is complex. Because of the leaching effect, 

soil and drip water show obvious seasonal discrepancies. However, under the influence of 

karst water migration path, the prior calcite precipitation (PCP), and extreme arid and 

annual precipitation type, the seasonal discrepancy in the element concentrations in drip 

water is smaller than in soil. The PCP effect, selective leaching, and other factors 

change the continuity of elements released from sediment to drip water. (4) In order to 

systematically and comprehensively ascertain the trace element migration in the karst 

critical zone and energy transformation rules, the study of cave system should be based 

on the research of the cave's critical zone and should consider comprehensive information 

ranging from the atmospheric origins to secondary sediments.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The diurnal variations in ozone concentrations in the summer were studied using 

the temperature, wind speed and direction, total cloud cover, and solar radiation 

intensity data collected in Langfang, China. The ratio of volatile organic compounds to 

nitrogen oxides (VOCs/NO<inf>x</inf>) and the EKMA curve were studied to analyze the 

sensitivity of ozone formation. The results showed that: (1) The ozone generation rate 

and ozone concentrations were positively correlated with the solar radiation intensity 

with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.61 and 0.48, respectively. Both the ozone 

generation rate and the solar radiation intensity reached their peak at about 12:00, 

while the ozone concentration reached its peak at about 16:00, which lagged behind the 

peak of the solar radiation intensity by 4 h. (2) The correlation coefficient between the 

ozone generation rate and the temperature was 0.44, between the ozone concentration and 

temperature was 0.68. The ozone generation rate and ozone concentrations were inversely 

correlated with total cloud cover with correlation coefficients of -0.24 and -0.45, 

respectively. (3) The ozone concentrations in Langfang were high when the winds were from 

the west, south, or southeast. (4) The ozone concentrations in Langfang were more 

sensitive to VOCs than to NO<inf>x</inf>; thus, they can be reduced efficiently by 

controlling the VOCs emissions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Considering the common cropping system (chili-radish rotation) in Southwest 

China, the objective of this study is to explore the effect of plastic film mulching on 

N<inf>2</inf>O flux, N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations in the soil profile, soil temperature, 

and humidity from a vegetable field. The method of the static opaque chamber was used and 

the experimental period lasted for one year. The results showed that the average flux of 

N<inf>2</inf>O was 1000.0 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>in the 

conventional treatment and 400.6 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>in the 

film mulching treatment during the chili growing period. The N<inf>2</inf>O flux of the 

film mulching treatment was significantly lower than that of conventional treatment 

(P&lt;0.05). However, in the radish growing season, the N<inf>2</inf>O flux of the film 

mulching treatment was higher than that of conventional treatment, but the difference 

between the two treatments was not significant (P&gt;0.05). N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations 

in the soil profile of the two treatments both increased with the increase in soil depth. 

The N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations showed significant correlations among the different 

soil profiles of each treatment; meanwhile, there was also a significant correlation 

between soil N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations at the same soil depth in different 

treatments. There was a significant positive correlation between the N<inf>2</inf>O 

concentration in different profiles and N<inf>2</inf>O fluxes in surface soils in the 

conventional treatment, but the N<inf>2</inf>O flux under the plastic mulching film 

treatment was only positively correlated with the N<inf>2</inf>O concentrations of 30 cm 

deep soil. The soil moisture and temperature observations showed that the effect of 

plastic film mulching on soil temperature was more significant in summer and the soil 

moisture was more prominent in autumn and winter. However, the results of the correlation 

analysis and principal component analysis showed that N<inf>2</inf>O emissions were 

mainly determined by the distribution of nitrogen in the soil and were affected by the 

change in soil total nitrogen content in the conventional treatment but N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions were more sensitive to the variation in soil inorganic nitrogen in the film 

mulching treatment.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The precipitation data for nine sites in the acid rain area of southwest China 

were analyzed. The data included pH and the concentrations of major ions (Cl<sup>-</sup>, 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, and Na<sup>+</sup>). 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were the main anions, whereas 

Ca<sup>2+</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were the main cations in the precipitation. 

The concentrations of acidic ions, alkaline ions, and total ions in this area were 

significantly higher than those reported in southeast China, but much lower than those in 

northern China. About 58% of the total precipitation has a pH value ranging from 4.5 to 

5.6. According to the correlation of acidic and alkaline ions as well as the results of 

the neutralization factor, the rainwater in this area has been neutralized. 

Ca<sup>2+</sup>and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>are the dominant neutralization substances 

in rainwater. Comparisons of pH and the main ion components with other areas showed that 

rainfall neutralization in this area was stronger than that in southeast China but poorer 

than that in northern China. Calculation of enrichment factors for rainwater components 

relative to soil and seawater indicated that Ca<sup>2+</sup>and Mg<sup>2+</sup>mainly 

originated from terrestrial sources and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>were mostly attributed to the anthropogenic activities in this 

area. In addition, approximately 99.7% of Ca<sup>2+</sup>and 84.0% of Mg<sup>2+</sup>were 

attributed to terrestrial sources and were closely related to the widespread distribution 

of carbonate rocks in the southwest of China.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In this study, the seasonal characteristics of water-soluble ions (WSIs) present 

in fine particulate matter (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) in Quanzhou City were investigated. 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected at five different sites in the city from March 

2014 to January 2015 and the concentrations of Na<sup>+</sup>, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, F<sup>-</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>were determined by ion-

exchange chromatography. In order to identify the sources of these WSIs, the positive 

matrix factorization (PMF) analysis was applied. The seasonal variations in total WSI 

concentrations were found to decrease in the order of 

spring&gt;winter&gt;summer&gt;autumn. The ions SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were the major WSIs found in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>, accounting for 90.3%&plusmn;3.3%, 68.8%&plusmn;11.7%, 

78.9%&plusmn;7.1%, and 74.0%&plusmn;18.4% of the total amount of ions found in spring, 

summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. These results suggested that the level of 

secondary ions was relatively high in the spring season. The anion-to-cation ratio in 

each of the four seasons was less than one, which indicated that PM<inf>2.5</inf>in 

Quanzhou City was slightly alkaline. Furthermore, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>ions in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>mostly existed in the form of (NH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>, 

NH<inf>4</inf>HSO<inf>4</inf>, and NH<inf>4</inf>NO<inf>3</inf>during spring and winter, 

while they were primarily found as NH<inf>4</inf>HSO<inf>4</inf>and 

NH<inf>4</inf>NO<inf>3</inf>in the summer and autumn seasons. PMF analysis revealed that 

marine salt, secondary sources, fugitive dust from construction, municipal incineration, 

and biomass burning were the main potential sources of the ionic components of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The influence of human activities on karst surface water quality has received 

increasing attention. To explore the impact of human activities on water-rock 

interactions in karst surface water, water samples were collected from July to November 

in 2016 in the Lijiang River, which is dominated by human activities. The samples were 

analyzed for the hydrochemistryand the characteristics of 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>. The results show that: (1)The Lijiang River is 

mainly characterized by HCO<inf>3</inf>-Ca chemical composition.. The 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>concentrations are inferior to 

HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>concentrations in the anion composition; besides, the 

concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in the river 

between Guilin and Yangshuo are higher than in the other sampling sites, caused by 

tourism and urban development. (2)Equivalent ratios of [Ca<sup>2+</sup>

+Mg<sup>2+</sup>]/[HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>] are between 1.01 and 1.51 and the 

equivalent ratios of [Ca<sup>2+</sup>+Mg<sup>2+</sup>]/[SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>

+NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>+HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>] are between 0.85 and 1.12, 

indicating that the sulfuric acid and nitric acid have participated in the water-rock 

interaction. (3)The proportions of carbonic acid dissolving carbonate rocks range from 

32.10%-98.01% with an average of 75.89%. The proportions of sulfuric acid and nitric acid 

dissolving carbonate rocks vary from 1.99%-67.90% with an average of 24.11%. The 

proportions of sulfuric acid and nitric acid dissolving carbonate rocks in the rainy 

period with an average of 24.31% is higher than in the brief rain period with an average 

of 23.88%. In addition, the proportions of sulfuric acid and nitric acid dissolving 

carbonate rocks present a fluctuated increasing trend from upstream to downstream and the 

maximum strength and the minimum strength of the sulfuric and nitric acid dissolving 

carbonate rocks occur in Lingchuan and Huajiang, respectively. (4) HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>mainly originated from the carbonate rocks dissolved by carbonic acid, with an 

average of 83.58%, followed by the carbonate rocks dissolved by sulfuric acid and nitric 

acid, with an average of 14.24%. The contribution of carbonic acid weathering silicate 

rocks is the smallest with an average of 2.18%. &#9316; 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>of the Lijiang River ranges from -11.95&permil;-

7.61&permil;; the calculated &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC-rock</inf>using the mixture 

endmember model ranges from -14.24&permil;-7.23&permil;. 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>is close to &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC-rock</inf>in 

the rainy period and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>is significantly higher than 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC-rock</inf>in the brief rain period. The difference between 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC</inf>and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C<inf>DIC-rock</inf>is caused 

by the influence of aquatic photosynthetic organisms.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Monthly investigations of the phytoplankton community and the associated 

environmental drivers during the past eight years in the Shahe Reservoir, Jiangsu 

Province, China revealed the spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton and the 

associated driving factors in the reservoir. The results show that the concentrations of 

total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorous (TP), turbidity (Turb), suspended solids (SS), and 

chlorophyll-a (CHL) were the highest in the upstream tributaries and the lowest in the 

downstream-linked reservoir. In contrast, the highest Secchi disk depth (SDD) was 

recorded in the Shahe Reservoir and that the lowest in the upstream tributaries. 

Significant differences in water quality indices were recorded among the upstream 

tributaries, the transition region, and the downstream-linked reservoir area (ANOVA, 

P&lt;0.05). The biomass of phytoplankton was the highest in the upstream tributaries and 

the lowest in the reservoir. The highest biomass of phytoplankton was recorded in the 

summer and the lowest in the winter. Synedra, Cyclotella, Cryptomonas, and Achnanthes 

were the dominant genera in the spring; Synedra, Cryptomonas, Raphidiopsis, and 

Phormidium were dominant in the summer; Cryptomonas, Synedra, Raphidiopsis, and 

Aphanizomenon were dominant in the autumn; and Cryptomonas, Synedra, Achnanthes, and 

Cyclotella were dominant in the winter. Synedra and Cryptomonas were the dominant genera 

throughout the year. The correlation analysis shows that TP, water temperature, and SDD 

were the most important driving factors for the spatial and temporal variations of 

phytoplankton. Notable spatial differences were recorded for Cryptomonas, while minimal 

variations were recorded for the remaining species. A smaller number sampling sites and a 

higher sampling frequency are needed to characterize the phytoplankton community in the 

Shahe Reservoir.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to improve the ability of denitrification and phosphorus removal from 

reclaimed water, a novel composite filler was prepared using sulfur powder and sponge 

iron powder, and a comparative experiment was constructed at different HRT(hydraulic 

retention time) and C/N(carbon-nitrogen ratio) conditions between the novel filler and 

the composite filler. The results showed that the efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus 

removal on the novel filler was higher than that on the grain filler (more than 30% 

higher at HRT=4 h and C/N=1). Moreover, based on the 16S rRNA gene clone library, the 

denitrification system in the two reactors included sulfur autotrophic denitrification

Abstract:The development of agriculture in the red soil sloping uplands has been 

increasingly restricted by low water availability, high temperatures, and low fertilizer 

use efficiency. Subsurface flow has a significant influence on runoff generation, 

nutrient loss, and soil erosion. The rainfall-runoff process makes it easy for nutrients 

on the sloping land to enter water bodies through subsurface flow mainly in the liquid 

phase, which may lead to environmental problems such as eutrophication and groundwater 

pollution. Phosphorus as one of the common nutrients causing eutrophication is immobile 

in the soil because it is easily absorbed and fixed by soil particles. Thus, the 

principal pathway of phosphorus release from the soil is the surface flow. In some 

regions, sufficient and concentrated rainfall results in the surface-subsurface flow that 

enhances phosphorus migration. Recently, researchers have studied the migration patterns 

of red soil phosphorus through surface flow and the impact factors arising from these 

migrations, as well as the generation of subsurface flow and its influence on phosphorus 

outputs. However, there are relatively few investigations that have comprehensively 

considered the influence of both surface flow and subsurface flow on the migration of red 

soil phosphorus. In order to investigate the characteristics of phosphorus loss through 

runoff under natural rainfall, a large-scale field lysimeter experiment was conducted 

with three treatments i.e., grass cover (GC), litter mulch (LM), and bare land (BL) on a 

red soil slope land in southeast China. Phosphorus loss through surface flow, interflow 

at different soil layers (30 cm and 60 cm), and groundwater flow (at 105 cm depth) was 

observed under each natural precipitation event over a one-year period. The results 

showed that: (1) The concentrations of total P (TP) and dissoluble P (DP) in surface flow 

were slightly higher than those in interflow and groundwater flow; the concentrations of 

TP and DP showed a gradual downward trend with the increase in soil depth. The total 

amount of TP runoff loss was ordered as BL (1.61 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;LM (1.33 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>)&gt;GC(0.82 kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>). (2) Surface flow, 

interflow, and groundwater contributed to 57%, 6%, and 37%, respectively, of the 

phosphorus runoff loss on BL plot; surface runoff was the main pathway of phosphorus 

loss. Groundwater flow was the crucial route of phosphorus runoff loss once a vegetation 

cover was in place; groundwater flow contributed to more than 71% of the phosphorus 

runoff loss while the surface flow contributed less than 14%. (3) Particulate phosphorus 

was the primary pattern of phosphorus transport which accounted for 64%-97% of the total 

amount of phosphorus runoff loss. The effect of phosphorus loss through groundwater flow 

cannot be neglected on the red soil slope land. The loss load of phosphorus through 

runoff can be controlled by grass cover and litter mulch treatments, whereas the 

concentrations of phosphorus in runoff do not significantly reduce.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Cultivating microalgae using municipal wastewater can treat wastewater and 

recover algal biofuel as an energy source. Wastewater provides necessary nutrients such 

as nitrogen, phosphorus, and water for microalgal growth. Due to the complexity of the 

components of municipal wastewater and the complex symbiotic and antagonistic 

relationship between microalgae and bacteria, it is necessary to select the suitable 

dominant bacterial species that can promote the microalgae to achieve high lipid 

production and algal biofuel production using municipal wastewater. Based on the 

microalgal growth and lipid production, we selected Photosynthetic bacteria and W4 

bacteria from 13 different types of bacteria and analyzed the microbial community 

structure of the municipal wastewater at the end of the microalgal culture cycle. 

Laboratory test results showed that the amount of lipid production by Photosynthetic 

bacteria and W4 was 0.114 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.113 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which 

is 22.58% and 21.50% higher than the production by the control group, respectively. 

According to the gas chromatography (GC) analysis of the lipids, Photosynthetic bacteria 

and W4 bacteria exerted a relatively low influence on the composition of fatty acids of 

Chlorella pyrenoidosa but increased the content of monounsaturated fatty acids that 

improve the grade of biodiesel. The results of the analysis of microbial community 

structure of the municipal wastewater showed that Photosynthetic and W4 bacteria reduced 

the richness and diversity of bacterial communities and have the potential to become the 

dominant bacterial community.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A method was proposed to remove Cd from contaminated soils by a semi-solid 

culture containing Aspergillus fumigatus that have a strong resistance to Cd. The removal 

efficiencies of Cd in different simulated Cd pollution levels were studied and the 

changes in Cd adsorption and the enrichment in Aspergillus fumigatus were measured. The 

results showed that Aspergillus fumigatus could remove some Cd from the soil in the 

semi-solid culture system. When the concentration of Cd was 10 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

the total removal rate of Cd was up to 31%. Meanwhile, the dry weight of Aspergillus 

fumigatus and the pH of the system were studied during the culture process. The results 

showed that the dry weight decreased with the increase in culture time and Cd 

concentration, the maximum decrease rate of dry weight was 64%. The removal efficiency 

was the best when the pH was varied from 5.6 to 6.0. The changes in different extraction 

fractions for Cd showed that the main fractions of Cd removed by Aspergillus fumigatus 

were the acid-soluble fraction and the reducible fraction and the oxidizable fraction of 

Cd remained essentially unchanged before and after the culturing. The proposed method 

would provide valuable information for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil 

by fungi.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The widespread use of antibiotics and heavy metals in livestock farms results in 

large residues of antibiotics and heavy metals in the livestock manure. Composting 

technology can biodegrade residual antibiotics and solidify heavy metals. A pilot 

composting reactor was used to analyze the characteristics of chlortetracycline (CTC) 

removal at different antibiotic concentrations [0 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>(CK), 10 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>(T1), and 50 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>(T2)]. Moreover, the 

morphological changes in heavy metals during the composting process were analyzed. After 

composting, no chlortetracycline was detected in the CK group and the antibiotics 

degradation rates of T1 and T2 groups reached 96.31% and 97.32%, respectively. The 

chlortetracycline degradation fits the pseudo-first-order kinetics model. Heavy metals 

can be solidified during the composting; thus, the bioavailable state of Cu and Zn 

(exchangeable state, reducible state) changed into the oxidation state and residues with 

apparent passivation formed. The correlation analysis showed that the removal of CTC 

showed strong positive correlations with the biological available Cu and Zn.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Urban heat islands (UHIs), which are urban areas with higher surface or air 

temperatures than surrounding rural areas, can further enhance the heat stress already 

exacerbated by global warming. This poses great challenges to human health and 

sustainable development. China has been burdened with heavy air pollution in recent 

years, and the effect of haze pollution on UHIs is still far less well understood. This 

study investigated the spatial variations of daytime, nighttime, and seasonal surface UHI 

effects in China during 2003-2013, based on MODIS land surface temperature data, and 

analyzed the correlations between the UHI effect and its impact factors from both 

biophysical and biochemical perspectives. Our results show that MODIS-derived annual 

nighttime UHI effect (3.4 K&plusmn;0.2 K, mean&plusmn;1 s.e.) is higher than the annual 

mean daytime UHI effect (2.1 K&plusmn;0.3 K). The daytime UHI effect is strongest in 

summer and weakest in winter but contrasts with the seasonal variation characteristics of 

nighttime UHI effect. During daytime, UHI effects in humid and semi-humid regions are 

much more obvious than those in semi-arid/arid regions; during nighttime, the UHI effect 

in semi-humid and semi-arid/arid regions is much stronger than that in humid regions. A 

Daytime Urban Cool Island effect exists in semi-arid/arid regions during spring, autumn, 

and winter seasons. Population, vegetation activity, and irrigation are three factors 

controlling annual mean daytime UHI effect. The nighttime UHI is significantly influenced 

by latitude, albedo, precipitation, and aerosol concentrations. We provide evidence for a 

long-held hypothesis that the biogeochemical effect of urban aerosols is an important 

contributor to the UHI effect. The important role played by rural background environment 

in calculating the UHI effect is further discussed in terms of surface aerodynamic 

roughness and the contrast in albedo between urban and rural areas. Mitigation of haze 

pollution has a co-benefit of reducing the UHI effect and heat stress for urban dwellers. 

It is also conducive to reducing negative impacts of regional and global climate 

change.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:To evaluate the influence of mining activities on heavy metal contamination and 

health risks in a zinc-smelting area in Guizhou Province, Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in 

agriculture soils and dominant crops were monitored and analyzed. A single factor 

pollution index and a comprehensive pollution index were calculated to assess the quality 

of soils and crops. Furthermore, the potential ecological risks of the four heavy metals 

in soils and crops were evaluated using the potential ecological risk index (RI). The 

potential health risks to adults and children induced by the intake of these heavy metals 

through consumption of crops were evaluated using the hazard quotient (HQ). The results 

showed that: (1)The farmlands in the zinc-smelting area were contaminated by heavy 

metals; the most polluted farm land was corn fields followed by paddy fields and wheat 

fields. The order of the heavy metal concentrations was Cd&gt;Cu&gt;Zn&gt;Pb. The Nemero 

index of corn fields was higher than the threshold value of heavy pollution and was 

higher than that of the paddy and wheat fields. Cd contributed most to the integrated 

pollution index. (2)The very high ecological risk was posed by Cd followed by Pb, Cu, and 

Zn. The results of the potential ecological risk assessment showed that 1.41% of the 

sites were classified as low risk, 21.1% classified as medium risk, 35.2% as high risk, 

and 42.3% as extremely high risk. (3)The average concentrations of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in 

rice were 0.145, 0.017, 16.97, and 2.704 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

average concentrations of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in corn were 0.094, 0.055, 26.81, and 4.464 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The average concentrations of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu 

in wheat were 0.048, 0.085, 35.37, and 5.426 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. 

(4)Rice, corn, and wheat from the study area were subjected to pollution at different 

degrees. Among the three crops studied, wheat was polluted most heavily, followed by rice 

and corn. Contamination levels of rice and corn were safe, whereas the contamination of 

wheat reached alarming levels. (5)The daily intake of individual heavy metals from food 

was below the standard exposure dose set by the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency. In addition, the assessment results for the comprehensive health risk index for 

the three crops indicate that the contamination of heavy metals poses health risks to 

adults and children by food ingestion. (6) Positive correlations were not observed 

between farmlands and crops.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to investigate the chemical characteristics and sources of atmospheric 

heavy metals, PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected every three days during the summer 

of 2011 and summer of 2012. The samples were analyzed for Li, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, As, 

Se, Ti, Ga, Ni, Sr, Cd, In, Ba, Tl, Pb, Bi, and U by ICP-MS, with an emphasis on seven 

major heavy metal elements (Zn, Pb, Mn, Cu, As, V, and Cr). The concentrations of Zn, Pb, 

Mn, Cu, As, V, and Cr were (331.30&plusmn;254.52), (212.64&plusmn;182.06), 

(85.96&plusmn;47.00), (45.19&plusmn;27.74), (17.13&plusmn;19.02), (4.92&plusmn;3.38), and 

(9.04&plusmn;7.84) ng&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in PM<inf>2.5</inf>in Beijing during the 

summer of 2011 and the summer of 2012. In the autumn and winter seasons, 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>/heavy metal pollution is more severe than in spring and summer, which 

may be related to the increase in coal combustion used for heating in autumn and winter 

in Beijing. Haze pollution enhances the concentrations of seven heavy metals in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>in Beijing and the enhancement shows seasonal variations. The source 

analysis suggested that dust (including building dust and road dust) and coal combustion 

might be two most important sources of heavy metals in Beijing, and transport and other 

industrial sources cannot be ignored.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The model of high solid anaerobic digestion was used by improving the degree of 

homogeneity of the reaction system and biogas slurry reflux to gradually increase the 

material load. The vinegar residue-efficient anaerobic digestion system was successfully 

constructed without pretreatment. The optimum anaerobic digestibility was observed when 

the material loading of the reaction system reached 6.15 g&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>, when the amount of biogas produced per unit of dry material was 396 

mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and the amount of methane produced per unit of dry material was 

211 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The degradation rate of hemicellulose reached 63.66%, which 

was the main reason for the improvement of anaerobic digestion performance. The 

degradation rates of cellulose and lignin were 21.46% and 24.43%, respectively. The lower 

degradation efficiency was mainly due to the complicated degradation of the benzene ring 

structure in lignin and hindered hydrolysis of cellulose, which had a shielding effect on 

cellulose degradation.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Surface ozone pollution and its negative effects on crops and food safety have 

attracted the attention of many people. In this study, ozone concentration and 

meteorological parameters in a winter wheat field were measured from 2014 to 2016. We 

analyzed the variations in ozone concentration and AOT40 during the growing season for 

winter wheat. According to the revised stomatal model, the leaf stomatal conductance of 

winter wheat was simulated and verified by comparing with measured results. Based on the 

flux model, the leaf stomatal fluxes of winter wheat were calculated. In addition, we 

estimated the effects of ozone concentration on winter wheat dry matter and yield by 

using exposure-response relationships and flux-response relationships. The results 

suggested that the concentration of ozone gradually increased during the growing season 

for winter wheat and showed a distinct unimodal pattern of diurnal variation. The mean 

concentrations of ozone were 36.2, 37.7, and 33.6 nL&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, 

and the ozone AOT40 values were 17.08, 17.90, and 11.84 &mu;L&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively, during the growing seasons for winter wheat from 2014 to 2016. The 

Jarvis-type factorial model of stomatal conductance could be used to simulate the 

stomatal conductance of winter wheat in the region, and approximately 81% of the 

variation of measured stomatal conductance could be accounted for by the model. The leaf 

stomatal ozone fluxes of winter wheat were 9.36, 9.32, and 8.65 mmol&middot;m<sup>-

2</sup>, respectively, from 2014 to 2016. Winter wheat yield decreased about 18.03%, and 

its dry matter decreased about 19.31% under ozone stress during these three years.<br/>

Abstract:In the present study, the fate and long-term effect of 

TiO<inf>2</inf>nanoparticles (NPs) on anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) was evaluated in an 

anaerobic methanogenic system. In the short-term experiment, the methane production rate 

decreased when the dosage of TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs was greater than 150 mg&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>. However, no significant difference in the products of acidification and 

methanation between the control and 150 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>(as VSS) of 

TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs assays was observed, indicating low bacteria cytotoxicity of 

TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs on AGS in dark anaerobic digestion. The operation data of the AGS 

bioreactor showed that acidogens was more sensitive to prolonged exposure to 

TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs with the accumulation of VFAs and a decrease of biogas production in 

the TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs containing reactor. The inhibiting effect of TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs on 

the AGS might be attributed to the physical restraints. The average 

TiO<inf>2</inf>concentration escaping with the effluent was 0.632 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, suggesting most of the NPs were retained inside the reactor. The long-term 

presence of TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs could alter the composition of the microbial communities 

in the AGS, since the amount of Methanosarcina increased by 115.6%. The results also 

indicated that the treatment of short-term sudden exposure to TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs using 

batch tests might not be appropriate for interpreting their cumulative effects on the 

AGS, since a long time was need for the TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs to show negative effects on 

the microbial populations in the AGS. Our study could supply useful proof for assessments 

of potential risks for TiO<inf>2</inf>NPs on anaerobic activated sludge.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:By coupling particle source apportionment technology (PSAT) with a comprehensive 

air quality model with extensions (CAMx), the regional transport matrix of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>was built for 13 cities in the Jingjinji Region in 2015. Results showed 

that the major contributor to PM<inf>2.5</inf>was local source emissions, contributing 

21.49%-68.74%, The internal transport from in-region sources contributed 13.31%-54.62% 

and the external transport from out-region sources contributing 13.32%-45.02% were also 

significant. The spatio-temporal distribution of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>transport matrix was 

characterized by geographical, meteorological, and source patterns. Local emissions 

exerted the most significant impact on the central part of Jingjinji in winter, while 

regional transport contributed more to the southern region in other seasons. By assessing 

the input/output and activity of PM<inf>2.5</inf>transport, Langfang, Hengshui, Chengde, 

Qinhuangdao, and Xingtai were receptors; Tianjin, Cangzhou, Tangshan, Beijing, 

Shijiazhuang, and Handan were sources, and Zhangjiakou and Baoding had a balanced 

transportation mode. The seasonal matrix of PM<inf>2.5</inf>showed significant transport 

between Beijing and Langfang, Baoding, Chengde, Tianjin, Cangzhou, while the city list 

for Tianjin and Shijiazhuang differed slightly.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Distribution characteristics, chemical constituents, and sources of particulate 

matter were measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer and single particle aerosol 

mass spectrometer during pollution monitoring that occurred between December 5th and 

December 11th, 2016, in Nanning. Results showed that particulate matter (PM) sized 

between 20 nm-10 &mu;m were concentrated in the 23 to 395 nm range, with a peak of 100 

nm. Three new particle types were generated during the course of this monitoring. These 

new 30 nm particles came into existence between 14:00 to 18:00, and grew to a size of 

between 40 nm and 110 nm between 20:00 to 06:00 the next day. The generation of the all 

three new particles was affected by motor vehicle exhaust emissions. Many secondary 

particles were also produced during this period of pollution. The source of the fine 

particulate matter was mainly from the burning of biomass, dust, and the combustion of 

coal. In addition, a long-distance transmission also contributed to the particles from 

biomass burning.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on the GC-MS technique, we conducted a survey to investigate the 

concentration, distributions, and emission sources of sulfonamides (SAs), 

fluoroquinolones (FQs), tetracycline (TCs), &beta;-lactam, and macrolides in groundwater 

in Beijing. Results indicated that SAs, FQs, and TCs were the main types of antibiotic in 

groundwater, and the detection ratios of trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxacin 

were above 70%. Concentration of antibiotics in sites from sewage irrigation areas were 

significantly higher than those from the drinking source area or the south-to-north water 

recharge areas. The highest concentration of sulfadimidine (236 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) 

and sulfadiazine (96.8 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) in groundwater were both found in the 

sewage irrigation area. An ecological risk analysis showed a low risk for antibiotic in 

groundwater at drinking source sites, while groundwater at sewage irrigation sites fell 

into the high risk group. It is important to strengthen the ciprofloxacin monitoring and 

ensure underground water safety.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this research, microorganisms in rhizosphere/non-rhizosphere soils of 

Phragmites communis in the Yeyahu Wetland were studied. A sequential extraction procedure 

was used to analyze the phosphorus (P) forms in the rhizosphere/non-rhizosphere soil with 

a variety of plant growth conditions (April, July, October). The soil bacteria community 

structure and the diversity was measured using the high-throughput of 16S rRNA amplicons. 

Furthermore, the complete crystallographic analysis (CCA) method was used to analyze the 

relationship between phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and P transformation in the 

soil samples. The results showed that the rank order of inorganic P (IP) fractions in the 

soil was generally as follows: Ca-bound P (Ca-P) &gt;Occluded P (Oc-P) &gt;Fe-bound P 

(Fe-P) &gt;Exchangeable P (Ex-P) &gt;Al-bound P (Al-P). The IP content was most affected 

by the growth of Phragmites communis. The minimum content of IP appeared in the vigorous 

growth period and the total IP content in the rhizosphere soil was generally lower than 

in the non-rhizosphere soil. The rank order of organic P (OP) fractions were highly 

resistant OP (HR-OP) &gt;moderately resistant OP (MR-OP) &gt; moderately labile OP (ML-

OP) &gt; labile OP (L-OP), and all the components of OP first decreased and then 

increased with the growth of plant. The major phylogenic groups in rhizosphere/non-

rhizosphere soil of Phragmites communis, included Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, 

Chloroflexi, and Actinobacteria among which, Proteobacteria was the majority group in the 

community composition. Furthermore, the rhizosphere/non-rhizosphere microbial community 

structure was significantly affected by seasonal changes and existing differences between 

the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. In addition, the main functional groups of the 

modal transformation of P bacteria genera were Bacillus, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, 

Burkholderia, Acinetobacter, which can make use of most OP and IP, playing an important 

role in the transformation of P in wetland soils.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:The flooding-drying cycles in the water-level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) of the 

Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) result in an abundance of plants that are submerged and 

decomposed to release nutrients. This has the potential to lead to water quality 

deterioration of the TGR. Cynodon dactylon (Linn.) Pers., one of the typical plants in 

the WLFZ, was collected and inundated in the laboratory under different conditions under 

temperatures of 15&#8451; and 25&#8451;, a pH 5.0 to 9.0, and under light and dark 

conditions, respectively, to measure the decomposition rate and nitrogen and phosphorus 

release mechanisms. The dry weight lost with the contents of nitrogen and phosphorus was 

found to decrease after Cynodon dactylon (Linn.) Pers. was soaked for decomposition. The 

amount released of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) at 25&#8451; for 200-

days inundation was(2.66&plusmn;0.29)g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>or(3.76&plusmn;0.04)

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively and at 15&#8451; was(0.79&plusmn;0.03) 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>or (1.40&plusmn;0.02) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. 

When the pH of the water submerging the grass was 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0, the amount of TN 

released was (3.76&plusmn;0.08) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, (2.66&plusmn;0.29) 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and (2.55&plusmn;0.12) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively 

while the amount of TP released was (1.53&plusmn;0.04) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, 

(0.79&plusmn;0.03) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and (1.70&plusmn;0.07) g&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. The TN and TP released was (3.87&plusmn;0.14) g&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>and (1.78&plusmn;0.08) g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>under dark condition. The lower the 

temperature, the higher the amount of TN and TP will be released for inundation from 

Cynodon dactylon (Linn.) Pers. When the overlying water is acidic or alkaline, more TN 

and TP is released. Dark conditions are beneficial to nitrogen and phosphorus release 

into the overlying water. Thus, the water environment changes in each flooding season in 

winter. Sewage discharge will also accelerate the nutrients released from soaked plants 

through their decomposition in the WLFZ, and then will aggravate the deterioration of 

water quality in TGR.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Benthic diatom communities and nutrient gradients were investigated from 287 

sampling sites in three aquatic ecoregions (AE) of the Huntai River to characterize the 

spatial distribution of nutrients and the benthic diatom communities. Locally weighted 

scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) was used to analyze the thresholds for nitrogen and 

phosphorus. The results showed that: (1) The concentration of ammonia nitrogen and total 

phosphorus significantly differs in the three AEs, and shows a tendency of AE I &lt;AE 

II&lt;AE III. (2) To reveal the structure of benthic diatom communities, various benthic 

diatom indexes, including the sportive diatom percentage, sensitive diatom percentage, 

stipitate diatom percentage, Pielou evenness index, specific polluosensitivity index 

(IPS), biological diatom index (IBD), and generic diatom index (IDG) were analyzed. The 

sportive diatom percentage varied significantly in AEI, AEII, and AE III, with the 

highest percentage observed in AEIII and the lowest in AEI. However, the other six 

indexes exhibited an opposite trend. All revealed that AE III has been seriously damaged, 

while AEI is less disturbed than AEII and AE III. (3) LOWESS fitting curves show 

thresholds for ammonia nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N) in the three aquatic 

ecoregions as 0.13, 0.30, and 1.98 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively and for total 

phosphorous (TP) were 0.04, 0.06, and 0.20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. All results were 

tested by independent-sample T tests. This study will provide assistance for effectively 

protecting the benthic diatom community in different aquatic ecoregions and also provide 

a theoretical basis for water management.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:To better understand the characterization and sources of carbonaceous 

components, a total of 60 fine particle (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) samples were collected in 

Changzhou during summer (July to August) and fall (October to November) of 2016. The 

average mass concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, organic carbon (OC), and elemental 

carbon (EC) during this study period were observed to be 73.0, 14.3 and 3.3 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in summer and 84.2, 13.2, and 3.5 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>in fall, respectively. The average mass fraction of carbonaceous aerosols (OC+EC) 

in the PM<inf>2.5</inf>measurement was estimated to be 24.3% in summer and 20.7% in fall. 

Eight carbonaceous fractions, resolved by following the IMPROVE-A thermal/optical 

reflectance protocol, showed strong correlation (r&gt;0.92) between OC2, OC3, OC4 and EC1 

and close correlations between EC2 and EC3 (r&gt;0.65), indicating probable similar 

contributors. OC and EC were moderately correlated, suggesting complex contributions to 

carbonaceous aerosol. The water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) to OC ratio (WSOC/OC) in 

the fall (60.9%) was slightly higher than that in the summer (57.4%), while secondary 

organic carbon (SOC) to OC ratio (SOC/OC) was lower in the fall (49.0%) compared with the 

summer (52.5%). The SOC/OC ratio was lower than the WSOC/OC for both seasons, suggesting 

that part of WSOC component originates from primary emissions. The significant 

correlation of WSOC and SOC confirms that most SOC is water soluble. Relationships 

between each carbonaceous species and the principal component analysis indicate that 

vehicle emissions and coal combustion are the two main emission sources of carbonaceous 

aerosols from the observation period. Back trajectory analysis was used to indicate that 

carbonaceous components at sampling site are mainly affected by local emission sources 

and short distance transport, whereas the contribution of long-distance transmission is 

small.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Antibiotics have been widely used for agriculture, aquaculture, and livestock, 

as well as for human disease treatment, in recent decades. However, antibiotics cannot be 

completely absorbed, and most of them are excreted through urine and feces. A substantial 

part of the antibiotics enter soils through fertilization and irrigation. Antibiotics 

persist in the soil environment and threaten human and ecological security. Identifying 

the composition, distribution, and factors affecting antibiotics in soils with different 

land use types can help in understanding the spatial distribution and migration processes 

of antibiotics. In this study, a typical peri-urban catchment located in the Yangtze 

River delta was selected as the study area, and 82 sampling sites were selected based on 

land use and topographical features. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-40 cm at 

each sampling site. The types and quantity of antibiotics in each soil sample were 

identified and analyzed by using HPLC-MS/MS in the laboratory. The composition and 

concentration of antibiotics in different soil layers and the land use types were 

compared, and the factors affecting the spatial distribution of soil antibiotics were 

analyzed. Results from this study showed that the total concentration of antibiotic 

compounds (&sum;total) ranged from 0.05 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 395.55 

&mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in the study area, and a significant spatial distribution of 

antibiotics was found between different land use types. The &sum;total in cropland ranged 

from 0.35 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 395.55 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, and 

tetracyclines (TCs) were the dominant antibiotics (81.45%). The &sum;total in forestland 

ranged from 0.07 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>to 3.65 &mu;g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, with 

values significantly lower than those in cropland (P&lt;0.05). The &sum;total in orchard 

soil were significantly lower than in cropland (P&lt;0.05), and no significant 

differences in antibiotics were found between orchards and forestland (P&gt;0.05). The 

analysis of the composition and quantity of antibiotics in the soils showed that 

tetracyclines (TCs) and quinolones (QNs) were the dominant antibiotic types in orchards 

(TCs: 67.63%, QNs: 29.55%) and forestland (TCs: 13.25%, QNs: 70.04%). The indices, 

including distance to town, distance to road, elevation, and C/N value in soils, were 

selected to explore the influence of human activity on soil antibiotic concentration. 

Results of the correlation analysis showed that the concentration of soil antibiotics 

decreased with increasing values of the four indices. This indicated that the 

concentrations of soil antibiotics in peri-urban areas were dominantly affected by land 

use and its spatial distribution, and the concentrations increased with the intensity of 

human activities. Results of this study can provide scientific guidance for soil 

management and soil security.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The concentration and size distribution of culturable bacteria and fungi were 

studied in Xi'an city at various air quality levels. The culturable bioaerosols were 

collected by an Andersen bioaerosol aerosol sampler between Sept. 2014 and Jan. 2015. 

Principal component analysis and multiple linear regressions were applied to link the 

concentrations with meteorological conditions including ambient temperature and relative 

humidity, as well as the levels of air pollutants such as PM<inf>2.5</inf>, 

PM<inf>10</inf>, NO<inf>2</inf>, SO<inf>2</inf>, and O<inf>3</inf>. These measured 

results showed that the concentration of culturable bacteria and fungi were in the ranges 

of 97-1 909 CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 92-1 737 CFU&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

respectively. The concentrations of culturable bioaerosols increased along with a 

deterioration in air quality. The size distribution of the bacteria migrated to coarse 

particles. Fungal aerosols showed a normal distribution at low pollution levels, while 

for a high levels, they preferenced fine particles. Results from the principal component 

analysis (PCA) indicate that the concentration of culturable bioaerosols is mainly 

influenced by haze, solar radiation, and relative humidity. Multiple linear regression 

analysis showed that bacterial aerosol concentrations are positively correlated with haze 

(P&lt;0.05) and relative humidity, while no significant negative correlations with solar 

radiation exists. Fungal aerosol concentrations did not have significant positive 

correlations with haze, solar radiation, or relative humidity. The results of this study 

will provide basic data for evaluating the effects of bioaerosols on human health and the 

environment.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Taking soil contaminated with a combination of Cd and Ni as the research 

objective, biochar, and oxalic acid activated phosphate rock (APR) were applied both 

together and separately for the remediation of this contaminated soil. The effects of 

different ratios of amendments on the remediation of Cd and Ni heavy metals in the soil 

and on inorganic nitrogen and microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) in the soil were compared. 

The results show that an increasing amount of biochar and APR, increases the soil pH 

gradually and acid-extractable Cd and Ni are gradually transformed into reducible, 

oxidable and residual Cd and Ni, resulting in a reduction in Cd and Ni bioavailability. 

After 40 days incubation, the acid extractable Ni decreased by 37.04% with a 14.8% 

increase in residual Ni, and acid extractable Cd decreased 40.28% with a 35.20% increase 

in residual Cd with the amendment of C50P3 (Applying 50 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>biochar 

and 3 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>APR) when compared to C0P0 treatment (Applying nothing). 

Furthermore, the MBN content for C50P0 (Applying 50 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>biochar only) 

and C0P3 (Applying 3 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>APR only) increased by 1.5 and 1 times, 

respectively, while the content of ammonium nitrogen decreased by 12.5% and 6.4%, 

respectively and the content of nitrate nitrogen decreased by 11.6% and 10.2%, 

respectively. This comparison shows that the combined effect of the application of 

biochar and APR is superior to each respective separate treatment. A mixture of 50 

g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of biochar and 3g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of APR (C50P3) 

demonstrates the best effect on the remediation of the Cd and Ni in soil. Furthermore, 

the application of amendments promoted the transformation of inorganic nitrogen into 

organic nitrogen.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this study, domestic sewage was utilized to cultivate aerobic granular sludge 

(AGS) in a simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal (SNPR) system. The bacterial 

population dynamics during the aerobic sludge granulation were investigated to reveal the 

granulation mechanisms using Illumina MiSeq PE300 high-throughput sequencing. 

Quantitative real time polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were used to investigate shifts 

in the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), 

nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs). After 

cultivation for 100 d, the AGS was compact and demonstrated good SNPR performance. During 

the AGS formation process, extracellular polysaccharides obviously increased, while 

extracellular proteins kept relatively stable. The abundance of AOA significantly 

decreased during the formation of AGS process, while the abundance of PAOs increased. The 

bacterial diversity increased at first and then decreased during the formation of AGS. 

The bacterial community changed dramatically during aerobic sludge granulation. 

Persistent operational taxonomic units (OTUs) accounted for 92.70% of the total 

sequences. Proteobacteria (31.07%-53.67%), Bacteroidetes (6.70%-16.50%) and Chloroflexi 

(7.84%-13.36%) were the dominant phyla. Candidatus competibacter was obviously enriched 

in the AGS formation process (increased from 0.11% in the seed sludge to 35.33% in the 

AGS) and may play an important role in the formation of AGS.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:An anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reactor was successfully started up in 

17 days, with the up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor being seeded with mixed 

anaerobic sludge from laboratory cultures with an ANAMMOX function and aerobic activated 

sludge from a municipal sewage treatment plant in a volume ratio of 1:2. The processes 

could be divided into two phases of hydrolysis, enhanced and steady. Anaerobic ammonium 

oxidation bacteria (AAOB) were enriched by improving the reactor volume load gradually 

after the steady phase. When the volume load increased from 0.10 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.44 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>, the removal of total nitrogen (TN) also increased from 0.09 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>to 0.42 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>. The color of the sludge changed from a light red that deepened gradually in the 

UASB reactor. At that time, the proportion of the sludge particle size greater than 0.2 

mm increased from 10.90% to 38.37%.The sludges from the inoculation phase and from the 

phase when the volume load was increasing were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing, 

indicating that Chloroflexi, Proteobacteria, WWE3, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes, and so 

on were the dominant species. The proportion of Proteobacteriain the denitrification 

bacteria was gradually reduced from 21.60% to 14.20% with an increase in the degree of 

AAOB enrichment, while the Planctomycetes increased from 0.73% to 15.50%. Candidatus 

Brocadia, Candidatus Jettenia, and Candidatus Kuenenia were the main species of 

Planctomyceteswhen the volume load increased to 0.44 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)

<sup>-1</sup>in the reactor, and the Candidatus Brocadia was the main species of AAOB, 

which accounted for 13.40%.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study analyzed the nitrate (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>), ammonia nitrogen 

(NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N), chloride (Cl<sup>-</sup>), &delta;<sup>15</sup>N-

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, &delta;<sup>18</sup>O-NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and 

&delta;<sup>18</sup>O-H<inf>2</inf>O in the surface water to identify the nitrate sources 

and transformation processes in midstream areas of the Taizi River basin in May and 

August 2016, corresponding to the dry season and wet season, respectively. The results 

indicated that the NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N concentrations and the &delta;<sup>18</sup>O-NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in the 

dry season were greater than those in the wet season, and the &delta;<sup>15</sup>N-

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>did not show significant seasonal variations based on the Man-

Whitney U test. The NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>was derived mainly from the mixed sources 

according to the ranges of NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>/Cl<sup>-</sup>, 

&delta;<sup>15</sup>N-NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and &delta;<sup>18</sup>O-

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>. The nitrate sources in the surface water were synthetic 

fertilizer, soil nitrogen, manure, and sewage in the Xihe River (XR), Lanhe River (LR), 

and Xiada River (XDR) and soil nitrogen and synthetic fertilizer in the Er dao River 

(EDR) during the wet season. The sources were synthetic fertilizer and soil nitrogen in 

the XDR and soil nitrogen, manure, and sewage in the XR, LR, and EDR during the dry 

season. The significant negative relationship between NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and the significant positive relationship between 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and &delta;<sup>15</sup>N-NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>in the wet 

season indicated that the volatilization and nitrification of soil N might be related to 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>sources in the wet season. NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and 

&delta;<sup>15</sup>N-NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>increased with decreasing 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and Cl<sup>-</sup>in EDR and LR during the wet season, which 

indicated denitrification processes occurred. There was a significant relationship 

between NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and Cl<sup>-</sup>, indicating that mixing processes 

occurred in the surface water during the two sampling periods. This study will provide a 

better understanding for nitrate sources related to seasonal variations and 

transformation processes in hilly areas.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:A total of seventeen surface soil samples were collected from urban parks in 

Xi'an city. The concentration of sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 

were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, the 

composition, source, pollution level and a risk assessment of PAHs in surface soil of 

park were evaluated. The results showed that the total concentrations of sixteen PAHs 

ranged from 0.362 to 1.336 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, with a mean value of 0.591 

&mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The concentration of seven carcinogenic PAHs 

(&sum;<inf>7</inf>CPAHs) ranged from 0.051 to 0.528 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, with a 

mean value of 0.181 &mu;g&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. Compared to the &sum;PAHs levels of 

other cities of China, the &sum;PAHs in park surface soils in Xi'an are relatively low. 

PAHs in the soil samples were dominated by low molecular weight PAHs with 2 and 3 rings. 

The results of source analysis showed that the PAHs in park surface soil mainly 

originated from the combustion of fossil fuels, however, the source of PAHs in some 

samples is complex and from mixed sources, such as oil spills, oil burning, and 

incomplete combustion of coal and biomass. The ecological risks of PAHs in the surface 

soil were evaluated according to the soil quality guidelines to be ERL (effects range 

low) and ERM (effects range median), and these results showed that all samples, in 

general, were polluted. However, the potential ecological risks of PAHs were at a low 

level. The incremental life cancer risk (ILCR) assessment indicated that health risks for 

children and adults were both in a permissible range, however, the risks for children 

exposed to the soil were considerably higher than for adults. Dermal contact was the main 

exposure pathway that resulted in the relatively higher risk, followed by ingestion.<br/>

Abstract:This study used short process nitrification sludge to investigate the effect of 

high free ammonia (FA) on ammonia escape during ammonia oxidation. A sequencing batch 

reactor (SBR) was used to study the ammonia escape process under different FA 

concentrations. The results indicate that FA in water is usually combined with water 

molecules at lower FA concentrations to produce stable 

NH<inf>3</inf>&middot;H<inf>2</inf>O with almost no ammonia escape. With high FA 

concentration (FA&gt;687.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), ammonia nitrogen is not oxidized to 

oxidized nitrogen (NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N concentration is&lt;0.1 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>at the end of aeration), but the total nitrogen (TN) reached 

269.7 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Therefore, when there is a high FA concentration, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N will evaporate in the form of FA, resulting in ammonia 

escape. In addition, when 226.6&le;FA&le;711.8 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the free ammonia 

escape rate (FEV) grows rapidly with the increase in FA concentration.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Streams and rivers play a major biogeochemical role in the global carbon cycle 

and act as hot spots for carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>) and methane (CH<inf>4</inf>) 

emissions to the atmosphere, excepting their roles of transporting the water and carbon 

from the terrestrial environment to the ocean. While carbon gases have been of great 

global concern, systematic reviews are still scarce. Given recent recognition of the 

pervasiveness of CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>in streams and rivers, this study 

synthesized existing research and discoveries to identify patterns and controls for 

riverine CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>, knowledge gaps, and research opportunities. 

This study presented a conceptual framework for sources and the fates of 

CO<inf>2</inf>/CH<inf>4</inf>from streams and rivers and used this framework to 

understand the dynamic processes of fluvial carbon evasion and potential anthropogenic 

disturbances. Multiple environmental influences combined with different contributions of 

endogenous metabolism and terrigenous input, and the CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>in 

streams and rivers showed significant spatial and temporal variability on a global scale, 

regional scale, and watershed scale, which indicates a substantial challenge for 

understanding the larger-scale dynamics. For a clearer recognition of how the changing 

environment and human activities may modify fluvial CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>dynamics, this study constructed a system framework of controls on 

CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>production and persistence in streams and rivers. The 

framework of controls can be viewed in terms of endogenous environmental controls that 

influence river metabolism (organic matter, temperature, nutrients, pH, and alternative 

electron acceptors) and external factors, including geomorphic and hydrologic drivers and 

human activities (agriculture, damming, and urbanization). We point out that the carbon 

emissions from rivers should be integrated into the terrestrial carbon budget, and in the 

future, more attention should be given to research on the sources of CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>in rivers, the generation and diffusion of CO<inf>2</inf>and 

CH<inf>4</inf>at different interfaces, the spatiotemporal variability of riverine carbon 

emissions, and the response of riverine CO<inf>2</inf>and CH<inf>4</inf>dynamics to the 

changing environment and human activities.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:A pilot-scale bio-filter was constructed for the removal of high concentrations 

of iron (TFe 9.0-12.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Fe(II) 6.5-8.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), 

manganese (1.9-2.1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), and ammonia nitrogen (1.4-1.7 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) simultaneously from low temperature (5-6&#8451;) groundwater in 

a plant. The results showed that iron was removed at the beginning of the bio-filter 

start-up, and manganese and ammonia nitrogen were removed on day 72 and day 75, 

respectively. The start-up period was influenced by the culture temperature and the raw 

water quality. For higher filtration rates, the removal of manganese was lower. When the 

filtration rate was more than 1.0 m&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>, the maximum removal of 

manganese was about 3.0 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Manganese was the limiting factor for 

the increase of filtration rate, and the maximum filtration rate of the single bio-filter 

was 4.5 m&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>. When the filtration rate was less than 6.0 

m&middot;h<sup>-1</sup>, the removal of ammonia nitrogen was about 1.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-

1</sup>, which was not affected by the filtration rate. Dissolved oxygen (DO) deficiency 

led to failure with the removal of more ammonia nitrogen. The required thickness of the 

bio-filter required for purification increased as the concentration of manganese and 

ammonia nitrogen increased when DO was sufficient. The removed iron, manganese, and 

ammonia nitrogen move to the depth of the filter layer, and there will be 

&ldquo;manganese dissolution&rdquo; when the filtration rate is increased. Iron and 

ammonia nitrogen in the filter layer can be oxidized and removed simultaneously. 

Manganese is oxidized and removed after the iron and ammonia nitrogen. The effective 

oxidation and removal section of manganese, iron, and ammonia nitrogen are obviously 

graded.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Real domestic sewage was treated with sequencing batch reactors (SBR). The 

aerobic/anoxic modes were alternated 4 times at 30&#8451; and 7 times at 18&#8451; in a 

single-cycle, respectively, and the ratio of aerobic/anoxic cycles was 30 min/30 min. The 

influent concentration of ammonia and nitrite was 61.44 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.77 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. After the experiments were run for 61 and 90 

cycles, the effluent of the ammonia was 0.68 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 1.28 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and the removal rate for ammonia was 98.94% and 99.57%, 

respectively. The nitrite concentrations were 20.57 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 20.18 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and the nitrite accumulation rate reached 95.92% and 99.58%, 

respectively. During shortcut nitrification, the activity of the ammonia oxidizing 

bacteria (AOB) increased gradually before finally stabilizing at 100.00%, however the 

activity of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) increased first and then decreased 

gradually, the activity of AOB exceeded NOB at 32 and 74 cycles respectively, where the 

AOB became the dominant bacteria and the activity of NOB was completely inhibited at 61 

and 90 cycles.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to explore the natural change mechanisms for cellar water quality for 

typical rainwater harvesting and drinking water surfaces in China, the MiSeq high-

throughput sequencing method was used to study the differences between characteristics of 

microbial communities and functional diversity regarding collecting and making use of 

rainwater. This is achieved through constructing combined modes of different types of 

catchment areas and water-storing cellars. The results of this study show that there is 

significant differences in microbial community structure and function. The main factors 

causing this difference are heterogeneity of internal and external environmental factors 

regarding cellar water. The diversity of microbial community structures in cellar water 

show patterns of a large number of rare species and few common species. There are 

different significant microbial communities at different water points. The differences in 

the functional diversity of microbial communities shows that gene sequences that encode 

metabolic functions have significant advantages over other functional gene sequences, and 

amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid, energy, vitamin, terpenoid and polyketide, nucleotide, 

and glycan metabolism, as well as the biosynthesis of other secondary metabolites, are 

the main functional groups that compose metabolic function. This shows that there are a 

large number of microorganisms with relatively specific ecological functions in cellar 

water and many active metabolic activities are involved. Cellar water quality can be 

improved through combined modes of concrete collecting surfaces and water-storing cellars 

for collection and storage of rainwater. The results of the study aim to deepen the 

understanding of cellar water microbial community structures and diversity to be used as 

a reference for improving water quality and selecting the water surfaces for rainwater 

harvesting.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to study the hydrochemical characteristics and their possible controls 

for the chemical composition of the water from the Niyang River Basin, 30 samples were 

collected from wells, springs, and the river in 2014 and major ion concentrations were 

measured. Descriptive statistics, the Gibbs figure, an ion ratio, and Piper triangular 

diagrams were used to investigate the hydrochemical characteristics, influencing factors, 

and hydrochemical evolution of the water in the basin. The results showed that the major 

cations in this water were Ca<sup>2+</sup>and Mg<sup>2+</sup>, accounting for more than 

84% of cations and the main anions were HCO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>and

environmental factors were recorded. The results show that, (1) compared to the control 

treatment, the effects of nitrogen deposition on the CO<inf>2</inf>fluxes for N1 and N3 

increased by 20.30% and 4.06%, respectively, whereas the CO<inf>2</inf>fluxes for N2 

reduced by 10.05%, furthermore, the CO<inf>2</inf>fluxes under different treatments were 

not significantly different (P&gt;0.05), except for the N2 and N3 treatments in December 

(P&lt;0.05). (2) Compared to the control treatment, the effects of nitrogen deposition on 

CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes at N1, N2, and N3 were increased by 64.51%, 30.23%, and 80.57%, 

respectively, whereas the CH<inf>4</inf>fluxes under different treatments were not 

significantly different (P&gt;0.05). (3) There was significant positive correlation 

between CO<inf>2</inf>and CH4 fluxes and soil temperature (P&lt;0.05), however, the

Abstract:Surface ozone concentration data from 189 cities in China in 2015 were processed 

by ArcGIS software in order to obtain the characteristics of the surface ozone 

concentration, such as time and space, topographical features, temperature, etc. The 

trend for surface ozone concentration was a decrease followed by an increase in China in 

2015. The concentrations during the four seasons followed the order: 

summer&gt;autumn&gt;spring&gt;winter, and the maximum appeared in July. The ozone 

pollution of East China, South China, and North China were more serious than other 

regions in China. The variation of longitude had a small influence on the ozone 

concentration, while the influence of latitude is significant. According to the analysis 

contrasting three different topographies in the same latitude, the influence of 

topography on ozone concentration was negligible. Furthermore, the research found a 

significant positive correlation between surface ozone concentration and 

temperature.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Naphthenic acids (NAs) are a natural component of petroleum, which account for 

about 2% of severe ecological toxicity in addition to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 

With the growth in demand for energy, a large number of NAs have leaked into soil 

environments through oil industry processes, which have caused enormous potential threats 

to human health and ecosystems. However, there are few studies about the degradation 

process of exogenous NAs and their effects on microbial community structures in soil. 

This research explores the degradation process of NAs and their dynamics in microbial 

communities in soil by adding a high concentration of 180 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of NAs 

to natural, clean soil with the aid of liquid chromatography and high-throughput 

sequencing technologies. This study found that: (1) Natural clean soil has a strong 

capability to degrade high concentration of NAs with about 50% of the NAs degraded within 

5 days, which stabilized at 80% after 30 days of the experiment; (2) Pollution with NAs 

obviously alters the microbial community structure as the number of specific OTU 

increased and were mainly distributed in phylum of unidentified Proteobacteria and 

Bacteroidetes; (3) Under high concentrations of NAs, the content of Bacteroidetes and 

Acidobacteria phylum and the &gamma;-Proteobacteria of Proteobacteria phylum all 

increased swiftly and were speculated to be a potential agents for NA degradation, with 

the relative abundance ratio of Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria increasing from 4.2% and 

2% to 20.3% and 5.5%, respectively, while a 24.8% decrease was found in Actinobacteria 

phylum; (4) This study revealed the degradation process of exogenous NAs and their 

effects on microbial community structure in soil, which provided scientific support for 

the ecological restoration of petroleum pollution and further study in this area.<br/>

Abstract:Slow growth rates limit the widespread application of anaerobic ammonia 

oxidation (ANAMMOX) reactions, which presents a need for the study of long-term storage 

and rapid reactivation of ANAMMOX sludge. Under room temperature conditions 

(14~30&#8451;), this study investigated the effects of storage duration on the residual 

activity and the activity after reactivation of ANAMMOX sludge without the addition of 

external substances. The chosen storage durations were 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 100 days, 

respectively. The results show that the residual specific ANAMMOX activities (SAAs) of 

the stored ANAMMOX sludge were 90.9%, 64.3%, 61.7%, 43.2%, 25.8% and 19.3% of the initial 

activity (activity before sludge storage) after 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 100 days, 

respectively. Therefore, the residual SAA decreases linearly with an increase in the 

storage duration of ANAMMOX sludge (R<sup>2</sup>was 0.978). The SAAs after reactivation 

with a storage duration of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 days were all higher than the initial 

SAA and reached 103.4%, 129.3%, 124.8%, 111.7% and 116.9% of the initial SAA before its 

storage, respectively. However, the SAA after reactivation after storage for 100 days was 

just 98.9% of the initial SAA. In conclusion, after as long as 100 days of storage 

duration under room temperature, the residual SAA of ANAMMOX sludge decreases to 0.051 3 

g&middot;(g&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, and its ANAMMOX activity can still be recovered after 

9.5 days of reactivation culture.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on biological flue gas desulfurization technology (Bio-FGD) and chelating 

absorption-biological regeneration technology (BioDeNO<inf>x</inf>), simultaneous 

desulfurization and denitrification by biological methods combined with chelating 

absorption technology has been proposed in this study. This technique uses an alkaline 

absorption liquid with Fe(II)EDTA to absorb the SO<inf>2</inf>and NO in the flue gas. In 

this study, an attempt is made to simultaneously remove sulfate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>) and Fe(II)EDTA-NO/Fe(III)EDTA, which are the SO<inf>2</inf>and NO absorption 

byproducts in an anaerobic reactor. The results indicate that average removal 

efficiencies for SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and Fe(II)EDTA-NO of 95.16% and 96.61%, 

respectively, were achieved when the hydraulic residence time (HRT) and pH were 

controlled at 16 h and 7.0. The reduction products of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>were 

mainly in the form of S<sup>2-</sup>in the liquid phase and hydrogen sulfide 

(H<inf>2</inf>S) in the gas phase, while the reduction products of Fe(II)EDTA-NO was 

N<inf>2</inf>. The reduction of Fe(III)EDTA could be achieved at all stages of the 

operation, however, the reduction rate decreases with a reduction in the HRT. In the 

fifth stage, the main sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the reactor was 

Desulfomicrobium, a heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, Pseudomonas, and two types of 

sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, Sulfurimonas and Sulfurovum, which coexisted. 

Two genera of bacteria that can also reduce sulfur, Thermovirga and Mesotoga, were also 

identified in the reactor.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Iron release in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) has attracted 

significant attention in recent years. There are many factors influencing iron release in 

DWDSs. In this study, we select pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), alkalinity (Alk), hardness, 

chloride (Cl<sup>-</sup>), sulfate (SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>), temperature (T), and 

hydraulic retention time (HRT) as factors to investigate. Stepwise regression and partial 

correlation analysis are used as methods for establishing nonlinear power exponent iron 

release models and determining the relative importance of these factors by comparing 

standardized regression coefficients and partial correlation coefficients. The results 

show that the iron release models fit well. The important factors are 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, HRT, Cl<sup>-</sup>, and T, and the relative importance of 

the effect of the factors on iron release is SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>&asymp;HRT&gt;Cl<sup>-</sup>&gt;T, when measured by standardized regression 

coefficients; whereas, the important factors are HRT, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, Alk, 

Cl<sup>-</sup>, and T, and the order of importance is HRT&gt;SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>&gt;Alk&gt;Cl<sup>-</sup>&gt;T, when measured by partial correlation coefficients. 

Combining these two results, we conclude HRT, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, and Cl<sup>-

</sup>are the most important factors affecting iron release in pipes for the conditions 

in this study. The relative importance of T and Alk changes depending on the actual 

situation.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Nano zero-valent iron/activated carbon (nZVI/AC) composites were prepared via 

liquid phase chemical precipitation and then characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray 

photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller 

theoretical methods for an analysis of the structure, morphology, physical and chemical 

characteristics of the composites. The effects of the reaction system, nZVI loading, 

initial pH, and dosage on antimony removal were investigated and the removal mechanisms 

were discussed. These results indicate that nZVI/AC can be successfully prepared via 

liquid phase chemical precipitation. In an N<inf>2</inf>atmosphere, a dosage of 0.2 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 15% nZVI/AC with an initial pH of 7.5 (the pH of raw water) was 

prepared. After a reaction duration of 2 h, the removal rate of Sb(V) had reached 76.2% 

and the effluent concentration had decreased to only 23.8 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

These results show that Fe<sup>2+</sup>plays a major mechanistic role in the removal of 

Sb(V) from the system and is the major active substance in the reaction process. In 

combination with an analysis of elemental Sb on the surface of the nZVI/AC before and 

after reaction, the removal process relies on the reduction of Fe(0) and Fe<sup>2+</sup>, 

Sb(V) reducted into Sb(III) and through adsorption removal.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:A laboratory-scale completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) 

process was operated in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Sewage effluent 

treated by the anaerobic/oxic (A/O) process and was used to operate a WWTP to obtain the 

initial substance for the start-up of a CANON filter reactor. On the 48th day, the 

ammonia removal rate was measured at greater than 90% in successive 10 d samples and the 

nitrogen removal rate was greater than 70%. The CANON filter was successful at start up. 

From the 49th to the 129th day, the dissolved oxygen in the reactor was maintained at 

fairly low concentration of 0.2-0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The effluent contained 

nearly no ammonia and the maximum total nitrogen (TN) concentration was 15.6 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, which exceeded the national Class 1A Discharge Standards for 

pollutants from municipal wastewater treatment plants. Nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) 

proliferated excessively in the reactor. Backwash was implemented on 129th, 169th and 

213th days. The nitrogen removal rate was more than 70% for a long time and TN 

concentration in effluent was below 12 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The nitrogen 

concentration in effluent fitted the national Class 1A Discharge Standards and the NOB 

were effectively inhibited. These results show that backwash has negligible on the 

structure of filter and its impact on the thickness of the bio-membrane and its 

functional bacteria was small, however, it is capable of effectively inhibiting the 

activity of the NOB. Periodically backwashing can be utilized as an engineering 

application to maintain stable operation of the CANON process.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:Using a substrate with zero valent iron and nitrate, the research determined the 

change of pH value in the iron autotrophic denitrification process and the effect of pH 

on zero valent iron autotrophic denitrification activated sludge using batch experiments 

and a continuous flow fermenter denitrification rate. Batch experiments were carried out 

with four reactor bottles with sludge addition. The initial pH values were 6.2, 6.7, 7.5, 

and 8.8, respectively, and there was an initial pH of 6.7 in a bottle without sludge 

addition. The results showed that the initial pH value of 6.7 obtained the highest 

nitrogen removal rate. For the bottle without sludge addition, the pH rose to about 10. 

The pH value of the four batch experiments was concentrated between 7.5-7.8 in the 

follow-up process, so there was no significant difference in the effects of pH on 

denitrifying bacteria. However, the pH value in the fermenter can be controlled stably by 

an acid-base pump. With five pH gradients of 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, and 8, the adaptability and 

activity of microorganisms under a constant pH value were observed separately. The sludge 

activity was the highest at pH 6.5, and the highest nitrogen removal rate was 1.35

Abstract:Goethite-humic acid complex was prepared in a suspension containing goethite and 

humic acid. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the crystal structure of this 

complex had no obvious changes compared to pure goethite, but the peak intensity of the 

complex was slightly reduced. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated 

that the surface of the goethite was coated by particles of humic acid. Compared to the 

infra-red (IR) spectra of goethite and humic acid, the anti-vibrational frequencies of 

COO<sup>-</sup>and the vibrational frequencies of &equiv;Fe-OH decreased by 20 cm<sup>-

1</sup>and 9 cm<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, while the vibrational frequencies of the 

associated hydroxyls increased by 10 cm<sup>-1</sup>and the absorption band of carboxylic 

C-O and free hydroxyls almost disappeared. This indicates that the interactional 

mechanisms between goethite and humic acid include the monodentate coordination of Fe

(III)-carboxylate and hydrogen-bonds. Thermogravimetry/differential thermogravimetry 

(TG/DTG) analysis showed that the temperature of the weight loss peak for &equiv;Fe-OH in 

goethite and the complex were 258&#8451; and 276&#8451;, respectively. This indicates 

that the coating of humic acid enhances the heat stability of &equiv;Fe-OH in goethite. 

Compared with humic acid, the temperature of the weight loss peak for aliphatic organics 

and aromatic organics in complex decreased by 60&#8451; and 26&#8451;, respectively and 

the ratio of weight loss from aliphatic organics to aromatic organics in complex 

increased. This indicates that organics with a lower heat stability may be more easily 

adsorbed onto goethite and the affinity to goethite was higher for the aliphatic organics 

than for aromatic organics. After ultrasonic dispersion, the content of large particles 

(&ge;2 &mu;m) decreased significantly for both goethite and humic acid, but the content 

and the size of large particles in the complex changed only slightly.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In this paper, 1.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of magnetic activated carbon with 

different particle sizes being 80, 140, 200, and 300 mesh (numbered 2, 3, 4, 5) were 

inoculated into the same sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The sludge volume index (SVI), 

particle size distribution characteristics, changes of extracellular proteins (PN), 

polysaccharide (PS), and polymeric substances (EPS) and their decontamination capability 

were studied and compared with a control group without addition (numbered 1). The results 

show that different particle diameters of magnetic activated carbon have certain 

influences on the granulation process. For example, it is easier for activated sludge to 

form aerobic granular sludge (AGS) when particle size are 140 mesh and 200 mesh acting as 

an inner core. Under these conditions, the AGS has a close structure and good 

sedimentation characteristics. Gaussian distribution was adopted to analyze the 

characteristics of Tparticle size distribution and standard deviations. The average 

diameter of the sludge in 3# and 4# all reached 780 &mu;m within 50 days, which was 

higher than other reactors, with the same standard deviations being 318.9 &mu;m and 362.3 

&mu;m respectively, which is lower than 2# and 3#. Besides, the granular sludge formed in 

both reactors was uniform in size and stable in operation. Different particle sizes of 

magnetic activated carbon were beneficial for the enhancement of proteins (PN), 

especially those with appropriate diameters (140 and 200 mesh), but had little effects on 

polysaccharides (PS). The formation of aerobic granular sludge based-magnetic activated 

carbon was in accordance with the inert kernel model. Meanwhile, the PN/PS in 3# and 4# 

were obviously higher than other SBRs with the same removal rate of TN and TP reaching 

50% and 60% respectively.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The farming of lake fisheries is an important part of the freshwater fishery 

industry in China. However, farming patterns of traditional fisheries maintain serious 

negative effects on the ecosystem of Eastern Lake Taihu. In recent years, the enclosure 

culture model of this lake has been optimized. In order to investigate the effects of 

aquaculture on the sediment properties, samples were collected from different areas of 

the lake (i.e. within the culture areas, outside the culture areas; from the crab-plant 

co-culture areas, mixed culture areas, ecological restoration areas, and control areas), 

in different months (January, March, April, August, and November), and at different 

depths (0-1 cm and 9-10 cm). The results of this sampling indicates that (1) the 

concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in the sediments samples 

collected within the culture areas are slightly higher than samples collected outside the 

culture areas; (2) compared to the crab-plant co-culture areas, lower concentrations of 

TN and TP are found in the samples collected from the mixed culture areas; (3) in the 

ecological restoration areas, aquatic plants exhibit certain positive effects with 

decreasing concentrations of TN and TP in the sediment. The lowest concentrations of TN 

and TP are detected in the sediment during the growing season of aquatic plants.<br/>

Abstract:Carbon and nitrogen in soils play an important role in the global carbon and 

nitrogen cycle. The enhancement of ultraviolet radiation (predominantly UV-B) resulting 

from the depletion of stratospheric ozone has raised significant concern. The effects of 

UV-B radiation on soil carbon and nitrogen transformation is connected directly to the 

physical and chemical properties of the soil. In order to clearly understand the effects 

of soil moisture on UV-B radiation, this study collected soil samples from two paddy 

fields with different levels of organic matter in a subtropical region of China. The 

response of the total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ammonia 

nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N) 

and cumulative net nitrogen mineralization to UV-B radiation under three different 

moisture gradients (W1=25%, W2=50%, and W3=100%) were monitored in laboratory for 120 h. 

After this period, the results were compared with a control treatment (CK) and it was 

found that: the TOC content had significantly decreased under UV-B radiation (p&lt;0.05). 

From low to high moisture content (W1, W2 and W3), the TOC decreased by 9.9%, 4.5% and 

6.3%, respectively for soil with low organic matter (L), and by 10.9%, 5.6% and 6.3%, 

respectively for soil with high organic matter (H), under UV-B radiation. However, UV-B 

radiation was found to enhance the DOC content in the soil compared with the CK. 

Furthermore, the DOC for soil moisture contents under 100% (W3) was higher than for other 

moisture contents (W1, W2). The measured DOC increased by 21.5% (W1), 9.4% (W2), and 

26.3% (W3) for soil with L. In addition, the measured DOC increased by 26.7% (W1), 14.2% 

(W2) and 33.8% (W3) for soil with H under UV-B radiation after 120 h. Compared with 

control treatment (CK), UV-B radiation decreased the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N content 

significantly, but there was an increased NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N content. The 

decrease of the NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N content was largest for W3 and smallest for 

W1. The increase in NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N content was largest for W2 and smallest 

for W1 for the two soil samples under UV-B radiation. UV-B radiation demonstrated an 

obvious effect on the cumulative net nitrogen mineralization (p&lt;0.05) after 24 h 

compared with the CK and the effect of different soil moisture treatment was also 

significant (p&lt;0.05). Overall, light degradation played a major role in the 

stabilization of soil organic matter, soil moisture, and UV-B radiation could accelerate 

the loss of soil organic carbon and has a major impact on the transformation of mineral 

nitrogen in the soil. Therefore, in agricultural production systems, completely bare 

surfaces should be avoided. For example, paddy rice-upland crop rotation systems could 

reduce the use of fallow periods.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on heavy chassis dynamometers, an experimental study was conducted in a 

diesel bus with proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). It investigated the 

effects of volatile organic compound (VOC) emission characteristics with three different 

diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)+catalyzed diesel particulate filter (CDPF) after-

treatments for a typical Chinese city bus driving cycle (CCBC). The results reveal that 

the major compounds from the diesel bus are OVOCs, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes, 

alkanes, nitrogenous organic compounds, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and 

that the OVOCs account for more than 50%of the total VOCs. With the same precious metal 

composition and ratio of the proportion in the CDPF catalyst, the emissions of VOCs 

decrease with an increase in precious metal load. The emission reduction rates of the 

VOCs are 36.2%, 40.1%, and 41.4%, respectively, when the precious metal loads are 15 

g&middot;ft<sup>-3</sup>(type A after-treatment device), 25 g&middot;ft<sup>-3</sup>(type 

B), and 35 g&middot;ft<sup>-3</sup>(type C). The average emission rates of alkanes for 

the three kinds of DOC+CDPF after-treatments are all over 59% for the entire CCBC cycle. 

The type C after-treatment device can reduce the alkane emissions by 70.2%, with a slight 

advantage for the OVOC reduction compared with type A and type B devices. For unsaturated 

hydrocarbons, including aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes, and PAHs, the after-treatment 

devices have a catalytic effect, but there is no significant difference between them. The 

emissions of nitrogenous organic compounds are greatly decreased, by 50.5%, with the type 

A after-treatment, but the reduction rate decreases with an increase in precious metal 

load. In addition, OVOCs, aromatic hydrocarbons, and alkenes are the most important 

contributors to ozone formation. The adoption of DOC+CDPF reduces the emissions of VOCs 

and, therefore, the ozone formation potential. Taking into account the emission reduction 

rates and costs of the three different after-treatments and for weighting coefficients of 

0.8 and 0.2, respectively, the type B after-treatment is the optimal solution.<br/>

Abstract:This study investigates the effect of increased hydraulic retention time (HRT) 

and dissolved oxygen (DO) on the destruction and restoration of the performance of 

activated sludge and biofilm sequencing batch reactor (SBR) nitritation after the 

processes were simultaneously started up and stably operated at room temperature 

(25&#8451;). The results showed that was easier to start nitritation in an activated 

sludge reactor, but nitritation was destroyed when DO was 2-2.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. 

The performance could be restored by reducing DO to 0.5-1 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The 

biofilm process was not affected by DO. Prolonging HRT destroyed the stable operation of 

the two processes. Compared with the method of biofilm, the activated sludge method had 

less resistance, but restoring performance was better than for the biofilm process after 

shortening the HRT. Subsequently, the temperature (20, 15, and 10&#8451;) was 

continuously reduced to investigate the synergistic effect of DO and temperature on 

nitritation stabilization. The results showed that the reduction of temperature destroyed 

the stable operation of nitritation, but the reduction of DO concentration could 

compensate for the adverse effects of temperature reduction. In addition, when the 

temperature was higher than 20&#8451;, the rate of nitritation in the activated sludge 

process was better than that in thebiofilm method. At low temperature (below 15&#8451;), 

a stable operation of nitritation was easier to achieve with the biofilm method. The 

capacity of the activated sludge process was hardly changed at 10&#8451;. The above 

conclusions were confirmed by molecular microbiological analysis, and it was found that 

the stable operation of nitritation could be achieved without complete wash-out of the 

nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB).<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The impact of solidification and stabilization effects on arsenic (As) 

contaminated soil before and after repeated freezing and thawing or high temperature 

aging was investigated by tests of unconfined compressive strength (UCS), permeability, 

leaching concentration and fractionation. The microstructure appearance of the soil was 

observed using SEM. The results show that the UCS of solidified soil decreases and its 

permeability increases after repeated freezing and thawing or high temperature aging. In 

stabilized soil, the unstable species of As increase and the leaching concentration of As 

rises accordingly after both treatments. The concentration of unstable species of As 

increased accordingly by 19.81% and 25.1%, and the leaching concentration rose from 115.5 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 151.5 &mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 164.5 

&mu;g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>respectively after 300 freeze-thaw treatments or under 10 h of 

high temperature aging under 80&#8451;. In general, the influence of the effects 

increases with more freeze-thaw events and higher temperature aging of longer duration. 

More damage and fragmentation was observed after both treatments.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Using MgO modified natural zeolite (NZ-MgO) as a settling agent, nutrients from 

synthetic contaminated waters were recovered as a struvite precipitate. Different 

reaction conditions, including reagent dosage, solution pH, contact time, and coexisting 

calcium ions, were investigated. In order to understand the recovery mechanism, Fourier 

transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilized to 

analyze the chemical composition of recovered precipitates, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller 

(BET) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy(SEM) were used to detect the 

surface area and morphology. The results showed that NZ-MgO exhibited a strong removal 

capacity, with a maximum removal capacity of 119.2 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>for phosphate 

and 48.5 mg&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>for ammonium nitrogen at a dosage of 0.4 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, initial pH of 7, and contact time of 2 h. The kinetics of both 

phosphate and ammonia nitrogen followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model 

(R<sup>2</sup>&gt;0.99), which revealed that the chemical process occurred at the solid-

liquid interface. The mechanisms for nutrient recovery by NZ-MgO were struvite 

crystallization, physical adsorption, ion exchange, and electrostatic attraction, with 

struvite crystallization being the main mechanism. Existing calcium ions would hinder the 

simultaneous recovery of nutrients from wastewater, resulting in a struvite decline and 

calcium phosphate increase.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was 

used to study the changes of glycoside hydrolase family 6 (GH6 family) genes during the 

composting of agricultural waste. In addition, a redundancy analysis (RDA) and Monte 

Carlo permutation test were applied to determine the relationship between the changes to 

the GH6 family genes and physico-chemical parameters. According to the relative 

magnitudes of the influence caused by these different parameters on the changes to GH6 

family genes, the eight-ranked physico-chemical parameters were pH&gt;pile 

temperature&gt;total nitrogen (TN)&gt;total organic matter (TOM)&gt;C/N ratio&gt;moisture 

content&gt;ambient temperature&gt;water soluble carbon (WSC). The eight physico-chemical 

parameters, which explained 83.1% of the variation of GH6 family genes, confirmed that 

these parameters had important effects on the GH6 family genes changes. The pH (P=0.002), 

pile temperature (P=0.004), and TN (P=0.004) had the most significant impacts on these 

changes. These three significant factors explained 24.92%, 15.57%, and 15.04% of the 

variation of GH6 family genes, respectively. There were different dominant species which 

contain GH6 family genes in different stages of composting. The diversity and abundance 

of GH6 family genes demonstrated these fluctuation trends. The t-value biplots based on 

the RDA showed that these three significant factors had either positive or negative 

correlations with the dynamic changes of GH6 family genes and the microbial species 

contained within GH6 family genes can be generally be divided into five types. The 

microbial community changes are reflected by the No. 4 to No. 10 bands and these had a 

significant positive correlation with pile temperature and a significant negative 

correlation with pH and TN. The microbial community changes reflected by the No. 20 to 

No. 23 bands had a significant positive correlation with pH and TN.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The use of mineral magnetic measurements as a potential pollution proxy is 

explored as an alternative means of monitoring heavy metal pollution in playground dust 

in industrial areas. Dust samples were collected from playgrounds in an industrial area 

in Nanjing. The magnetic properties of the samples were analyzed, and the total and 

acid-extractable concentrations of heavy metals were measured.Mineral magnetic 

concentration parameters [mean magnetic susceptibility (&chi;<inf>lf</inf>) 

939.31&times;10<sup>-8</sup>m<sup>3</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and saturation isothermal 

remanent magnetization (SIRM) 16 618.74&times;10<sup>-

5</sup>A&middot;m<sup>2</sup>&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>] indicate that the dust samples 

contain high concentrations of magnetic minerals when compared to the non-industrial zone 

of the city. High and stable S-ratio values (mean 0.97, standard deviation 0.01) indicate 

the prominence of ferromagnetic minerals. Low values of anhysteretic remanent 

magnetization (&chi;<inf>ARM</inf>)/&chi;<inf>lf</inf>(2.35) and &chi;<inf>ARM</inf>/SIRM 

(0.12&times;10<sup>-3</sup>m&middot;A<sup>-1</sup>) indicate predominantly coarse pseudo 

single domain (PSD) and multi-domain (MD) magnetic grain size assemblages. The playground 

dust is considered moderately to highly polluted, and the enrichment factor values for 

Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb indicate extremely high contamination levels in the playground dust. 

Mineral magnetic parameters [&chi;<inf>lf</inf>, SIRM, hard isothermal remanent 

magnetization (HIRM), &chi;<inf>ARM</inf>, and &chi;<inf>ARM</inf>/SIRM] reveal 

significant correlations with total and acid-extractable concentrations of the trace 

metals, and the correlations with total concentrations are stronger. The most significant 

correlations were found with mineral magnetic concentrations (&chi;<inf>ARM</inf>and 

SIRM) and total concentrations of the elements Mn, Ni, and Cr and the Tomlinson pollution 

load index (PLI) (0.69&le;r&le;0.86, P&lt;0.01). Consistent spatial characteristics 

between them were also found, showing that the total concentrations of heavy metals and 

magnetic parameter values are higher in the playgrounds near and downwind of the power 

plant. Results of a principal component analysis indicate that anthropogenic activities 

(mainly from coal consumption by power plants) are the main sources for both heavy metals 

and magnetic minerals. In summary, significant correlations and consistent spatial 

characteristics between heavy metal contents and magnetic parameters and the same 

anthropogenic source for heavy metals and magnetic minerals confirm that magnetic 

parameters could be considered as efficient indicators for heavy metal contamination in 

the playground dust in industrial areas.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The contents of ten heavy metals (As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Zn, Ti, Mn, and Hg) 

were determined in the surface soils surrounding a municipal solid waste incineration 

plant in Shanghai using atomic spectroscopy. The spatial distribution and sources of the 

detected heavy metals were studied by enrichment factor and multivariate statistical and 

spatial interpolation analyses. In addition, their potential ecological risk was 

assessed. The results showed that all heavy metals, except Hg and As, were detected with 

mean contents ranging from 0.399 to 4 220 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. The mean contents of 

Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Zn, and Mn were higher than their respective background values in 

Shanghai. In particular, the mean content of Cd was 2.9 times its background value. The 

results of the Pearson's correlation, principle component, enrichment factor, and spatial 

distribution analyses of these heavy metals indicated that Ti, Mn, and Ni primarily 

originated from natural sources, while Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn originated from industrial 

manufacturing, combustion, and traffic emissions. The potential ecological risk 

assessment showed that soils surrounding the municipal solid waste incineration plant 

suffered from a moderate-level risk. The mean value of the potential ecological risk 

index of these detected heavy metals was 108.92, of which Cd contributed as high as 

79.63%, deserving much attention.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Arsenic is one of the most toxic substances yet discovered and arsenic 

contamination of water has become a global environmental problem in need of a solution. 

This study has identified the capacity of sodium persulfate (PS), activated by zero-

valent iron (ZVI) to remove As(V) from waste-water is much greater than the capacity of 

PS alone due to the production of sulfate radicals in the process. Five parameter types 

including PS and ZVI dosage, reaction temperature, initial pH value, and initial As(V) 

concentration are discussed in detail. These parameters affect the removal rate dynamics 

as an influencing factor of the As(V) concentration. The material structure before and 

after the reaction was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS) 

and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was demonstrated that under this solution of 

20-100 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>of As(V), the removal rate of As(V) is more than 98% and a 

pseudo-second order kinetic model can be used to describe the reaction. The removal 

mechanism of ZVI/PS to As(V) was explored by comparing the results of X-ray photo-

electron spectroscopy of samples taken before and after reaction with ZVI/PS. PS can 

accelerate the corrosion of ZVI and then promote the adsorption of As(V), moreover, it 

can also form precipitates and coprecipitates with iron oxide/hydroxide to achieve an 

enhanced removal of As(V).<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Xin'anjiang Reservoir is the largest reservoir in eastern China, with a surface 

area of 580 km<sup>2</sup>and a mean depth of 30 m. It is in an oligotrophic or 

mesotrophic state at present. This study measured carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>) 

emissions from the upstream river, the reservoir's main body, and the river downstream of 

the Xin'anjiang Reservoir to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of 

CO<inf>2</inf>emissions from the water surface using static floating chambers and gas 

chromatography. Results showed that the downstream river had, significantly, the highest 

CO<inf>2</inf>emission flux [(1 535.00&plusmn;1 447.46) mg&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>], followed by the upstream river 

[(120.39&plusmn;135.41) mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>]. The reservoir's 

main body had the lowest flux [(36.65-61.94) mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>]. The high CO<inf>2</inf>emission flux in the downstream river was probably 

influenced by turbulence during the discharge periods, which would allow the dissolved 

CO<inf>2</inf>in the hypolimnion before the dam to be released to the atmosphere in the 

watercourse of the downstream river. However, the CO<inf>2</inf>emission flux decreased 

with distance to the dam, likely because of the drop in strength of the turbulence. 

Moreover, there was an obvious alternation between CO<inf>2</inf>source and 

CO<inf>2</inf>sink in the main body of the reservoir, with CO<inf>2</inf>sources in 

autumn and winter and CO<inf>2</inf>sinks in spring and summer. The maximum and minimum 

CO<inf>2</inf>emission values occurred in winter and spring, respectively. Such 

variability in the CO<inf>2</inf>emissions was probably influenced by the bloom of alga 

in spring and summer, because dissolved CO<inf>2</inf>in the water was absorbed by the 

respiration of alga. However, hydrologic conditions were unstable in the upstream river 

due to a fast water flow, so alga was difficult to bloom there, and a 

CO<inf>2</inf>source was observed throughout the year, except during April and August. 

The measurement of the flux from the upstream river, main body, and downstream river 

required a long period for the investigation of greenhouse gas emissions to avoid 

underestimating the total CO<inf>2</inf>emission from a hydroelectric reservoir 

system.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The application of SBR reactors is becoming more common and in order to further 

improve the efficiency of their treatment it has been proposed to add a magnetic field to 

SBR systems. The effects of different magnetic fields on the degradation efficiency of 

conventional pollutants in an SBR was studied. MiSeq high-throughput sequencing 

techniques were used to analyze the diversity of microbial communities in activated 

sludge under magnetic field conditions. These results show that the addition of a 

magnetic field improves the performance of a SBR system to an extent and magnetic 

induction effects are most obvious at 7&times;10<sup>-2</sup>T. This is identified 

through a significant effect on the removal efficiency of total nitrogen and an increase 

in the denitrification rate from 65.69% to 85.98%. It also significantly improves the 

activity of sludge dehydrogenase and has a positive effect on the removal of various 

pollutants. The diversity of microbial communities in activated sludge under different 

magnetic field intensities shows a greater microbial abundance and diversity in the 

active sludge. The bacterial domain in the experimental SBR includes 14 phyla, which are 

mainly Proteobacteria (25.3%-61.5%), Bacteroidetes (18.6%-46.2%), Actonobacteria (5.3%-

47.2%), and Acidobacteria (0.4%-4.0%). Important denitrification bacteria such as 

Rhodoblastus, Paracoccus of &alpha;-Proteobacteria, Alicycliphilus, Comamonas, 

Xenophilus, Acidovorax, Dechloromonas, Thauera of &beta;-Proteobacteria, Desulfovibrio of 

&delta;-Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes, etc. at a moderate magnetic induction of 

7&times;10<sup>-2</sup>T have a high abundance and there is an internal relationship 

between this and an increase in denitrification efficiency. Polyphosphate-accumulating 

organisms (PAOs) such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Propionicimonas, etc., are present 

at higher levels under these conditions and follow the same trends as for the phosphorus 

removal rates. There is a correlation between bacterial community structure changes and 

sewage treatment efficiency in activated sludge. Applied magnetic fields have a positive 

effect on sewage treatment by changing the microbial community structure.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution in China has become an extreme environmental and 

social problem and has generated widespread public concern. We estimate ground-level 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>from satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD), topography data, 

meteorological data, and pollutant emissions using a new technique, Bayesian maximum 

entropy (BME) combined with geographically weighted regression (GWR), to evaluate the 

spatial and temporal characteristics of PM<inf>2.5</inf>exposure in an eastern region of 

China in winter. The overall 10-fold cross-validation R<sup>2</sup>is 0.92, and the root 

mean squared prediction error (RMSE) is 8.32 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The mean 

prediction error (MPE) of the predicted monthly PM<inf>2.5</inf>is -0.042 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, the mean absolute prediction error (MAE) is 4.60 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. Compared with the results of the Geographically Weighted 

Regression model-GWR (R<sup>2</sup>=0.71, RMSE=15.68 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, MPE=-

0.095 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, MAE=11.14 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), the prediction 

by the BME were greatly improved. In this location, the high 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration area is mainly concentrated in North China, the Yangtze 

River Delta, and Sichuan Basin. The low concentration area is mainly concentrated in the 

south of China, including the Pearl River Delta and southwest of Yunnan. Temporally, 

there is migration trend from the coastal areas inland, and PM<inf>2.5</inf>pollution is 

most serious in December 2015 and January 2016. It is relatively low in November 2015 and 

February 2016.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Wetlands are important sinks for mercury, and its reducing substrate favors the 

production of gaseous elemental mercury. In order to adapt to the anoxic condition, 

wetland plants usually have developed aerenchyma to transfer oxygen from the shoots to 

the roots to supply their roots respiration. In this study, a typical wetland plant, 

rice, is used to investigate whether its aerenchyma can also be a channel for the 

transportation of rhizosphere gaseous mercury into the atmosphere. In addition, the 

underlying mechanisms will be evaluated. In this study, the roots of rice were separated 

from the shoots by an air-tight chamber. Roots were exposed to saturated mercury vapor in 

the root chamber, and the gaseous mercury volatilized from the leaf chamber was absorbed 

by an active carbon absorbent. The results showed that gaseous elemental mercury could be 

transferred to shoots after absorption by the roots. The mercury in the roots decreased 

polynomially with root porosity (R=0.8309, P&lt;0.01), while the mercury in the above 

ground tissues showed a positive correlation with root surface area and root volume 

(R=0.896, P&lt;0.01; R=0.871, P&lt;0.01). It was also indicated that the mercury absorbed 

by the roots could be volatilized into the atmosphere through the leaves. The 

volatilization of the mercury from the leaves increased positively with the leaf area 

(R=0.897, P&lt;0.01). There was also a significant positive correlation between the 

mercury volatilization per unit leaf area and transpiration intensity (R=0.73, 

P&lt;0.01). The results proved that rice can absorb gaseous elemental mercury through its 

roots and transfer it above ground for emission into the atmosphere through the stomata 

of the leaves. This provides a scientific basis for further investigations to reveal 

mercury behavior and its mechanisms in wetland ecosystems.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:In order to reveal the characteristics of mercury release flux and exchange 

across the soil/atmosphere interface under different vegetation cover types, four of 

these types (evergreen broad-leaved forest, bamboo forest, shrub, and grassland) were 

chosen as research samples at Jinyun Mountain National Nature Reserve, Chongqing, 

Continuous monitoring of the different vegetation covers, soil/atmosphere interface, and 

mercury release flux was conducted, at the same time as the effects of environmental 

factors were also considered. Results show that the annual average Hg emission flux for 

the four kinds of forest cover have obvious differences. The overall emission performance 

of Hg is ranked as: bamboo forest [17.77 ng&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>]&gt;grassland [17.58 ng&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>]

&gt;shrubbery [16.87 ng&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>]&gt;evergreen 

broad-leaved forest [14.32 ng&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>]. There are 

obviously seasonal differences between Hg emission and the four kinds of forested stands 

in Jinyun mountain and there are significant differences among the different forests. 

These differences mainly reflect that emissions in the warm season are higher than in the 

cold season. There is also an obvious diurnal variation of soil mercury release flux from 

different forested stands in Jinyun Mountain. Meteorological factors of light intensity, 

air temperature, soil temperature, and relative humidity also effects the soil/air 

interface meaning that mercury flux is not the same across land cover types. Temperature 

is the main factor affecting evergreen broad-leaved forest, shrub forests, and bamboo 

forests. Light intensity is the main influencing factor for grasslands.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:The concentrations of Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Hg, and As in vegetables collected from 

the industrial areas in suburban Shanghai were analyzed before and after washing. Results 

showed that the average concentrations (fresh weight) of Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Hg, and As in 

washed vegetables were 0.023, 4.444, 0.112, 0.826, 0.004, and 0.094 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>, respectively. Amaranth accumulated the highest Cd, Zn, Pb, and Cu, while pakchoi 

accumulated the highest Hg and As. There was no significant difference of heavy metals 

between different sites. Washing vegetables prior to cooking reduced the health risk for 

heavy metals related to the consumption of vegetables. A health risk evaluation indicated 

that more than 55% of the Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) came from As, while the 

other elements contributed less than 1, indicating that the health risk from vegetable 

consumption was mainly caused by As. Children have higher health risks than adults when 

eating the same vegetables.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to investigate the characteristics and sources of elements in 

atmospheric aerosols (PM<inf>10</inf>) measurements, samples were collected between April 

2012 and February 2013 in Huangshi, a typical industrial city in the east of Hubei 

province, China. These samples were analyzed for seventeen elements using wavelength 

dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. In addition, the pollution characteristics of 

fourteen elements were analyzed by an enrichment factor (EF) method, and the sources of 

these elements were studied by a principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix 

factorization (PMF) method. The result from the EF indicated that the concentration of 

the seventeen elements in the PM<inf>10</inf>measurements varied from 0.01-9.83 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>. The elemental concentration of S was the highest and Ni and 

V was the lowest during the monitoring period in Huangshi. Daily levels of Pb and Cd 

exceeded the annual reference values set by the National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(GB3095-2012) by 36.4% and 89.1%, respectively. An analysis of EF showed that Ti, V, Mn, 

and Ni elements were mildly enriched, indicating they were affected by both natural and 

anthropogenic sources. Ca, Cr, and Ba elements were moderately enriched and Cu, Zn, Pb, 

Sn, Sb, and Fe were highly enriched or hyper accumulated, suggesting they are mainly 

sourced from human activities. There were four sources significantly contributing to the 

elements in the PM<inf>10</inf>measurement, which were determined using PCA and PMF 

analysis. These were soil and fugitive dust, coal combustion, industry exhausts, and 

motor vehicle emissions. The results of the two models supported each other and had good 

consistency.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Environmental models have been regarded as a key method to study the complex 

conditions of environmental systems. Sensitivity analysis (SA) is a vital step, which 

aims to investigate the impact of model inputs on model outputs. During the application 

of environmental models, SA plays a significant role in simplifying the model structure 

and improving the precision and reliability of the simulation. Consequently, 

identification and analysis of sensitivity parameters in environmental models is an 

important issue. This paper provides an introduction to the functions of SA in 

environmental models. Mathematical theories and methods used for SA are summarized, and 

their applications, advantages, and limits. On this basis, development trends for the use 

of SA for environmental models are proposed.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The operational performance of a methane cycle anaerobic membrane bioreactor 

(MCAnMBR) with desulfurization for the treatment of high sulfate organic wastewater was 

investigated. Within 63 days, the MCAnMBR with desulfurization was started successfully 

at a normal temperature of 26-34&#8451;. The two main problems at the beginning of 

debugging, sludge loss and increased pH, were effectively solved by adjusting the gas 

path system and adding methanol to the inflow for acclimation. The results show that the 

inflow concentration of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>from 650 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 5 

800 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>can be treated well with the conditions of hydraulic 

retention time (HRT)=120 h, a volume loading of 3.61-4.36 kg&middot;

(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, pH of 7.18-7.61, and temperature of 23.3-

25.4&#8451;. The effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration could be lowered to 

23 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The total removal rate of COD could remain stable at 

96.23%-99.77%, and the SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>conversion rate was about 83.83%-

95.51%. These results indicated that the MCAnMBR reactor with desulfurization could 

effectively solve the problem of secondary sulfide inhibition. A gradient experiment 

revealed that the high Na<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>inflow could be treated when the 

influent COD ranged from 18 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 21 000 mg&middot;L<sup>-

Abstract:Bulk precipitation collectors and canopy throughfall collectors were applied to 

measure the deposition of sulfur, nitrogen, and mercury at two forest ecology stations, 

Qianyanzhou (QYZ) in Jiangxi Province and Huitong (HT) in Hunan Province, from December 

2013 to November 2014. During the observation period, the volume weighted average 

concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>-S, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, and Hg at QYZ station were 1.89 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

0.957 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 0.401 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 12.5 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in the bulk precipitation, respectively, and 2.39 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 1.18 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 0.897 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

and 22.2 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in the throughfall, respectively. The concentrations of 

these components increased by different proportions for the bulk precipitation compared 

to the throughfall. At HT station, the average concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>-S, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, and Hg in the 

throughfall were 2.93 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 1.60 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 0.502 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 22.0 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. In addition, 

atmospheric deposition fluxes based on the throughfall were 3.56 g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>for sulfur, 3.02 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)

<sup>-1</sup>for nitrogen, and 30.6 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>for 

mercury at QYZ station, while the corresponding fluxes were 6.18 g&middot;

(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, 4.48 g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>, and 37.3 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>at HT station. The 

deposition rates of all three elements were the highest in summer. The contribution of 

dry deposition to the total deposition of mercury was similar to that of wet deposition, 

while wet deposition contributed more to the total deposition of sulfur and nitrogen than 

did dry deposition. Unlike sulfur and nitrogen depositions, which were mainly derived 

from anthropogenic sources, mercury deposition might have a greater contribution from 

natural sources, especially at HT station.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:To characterize the size distribution of water-soluble inorganic ions (WSII) 

during a heavy pollution episode, particle samples were collected by an Andersen cascade 

sampler in Tianjin in January 2014, and the concentrations of eight WSII (Na<sup>+</sup>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Cl<sup>-

</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>) during a typical 

haze episode were analyzed by ion chromatography. The sources and formation mechanisms of 

WSII were analyzed based on their size distributions. The results showed that the daily 

average concentrations of PM<inf>2.5</inf>and PM<inf>10</inf>were (138&plusmn;100) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and (227&plusmn;142) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

respectively, and the average concentration of total WSII concentrations (TWSII) in the 

coarse and fine particles were (34.07+6.16) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and (104.16+51.76) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. The concentrations of SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>in the fine particles 

were much higher than concentrations of the other ions, and there were strong 

correlations between these three ions. The TWSII on clear days, light pollution days, and 

heavy pollution days were (41.55&plusmn;12.41) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, 

(94.46&plusmn;31.19) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, and (147.55&plusmn;27.76) 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. On clear days, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>showed a unimodal distribution, peaking at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m; and 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>showed a trimodal distribution, peaking at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m, 

2.1-3.3 &mu;m, and 5.8-9.0 &mu;m. NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>had a bimodal distribution, 

peaking at 0.43-0.65 &mu;m and 4.7-5.8 &mu;m. On heavy pollution days, however, the size 

distributions of these three secondary inorganic ions switched to a unimodal size 

distribution, peaking at 0.65-1.1 &mu;m. Unimodal NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>mainly 

coexisted with SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, and the excess 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>was found to be combined with Cl<sup>-</sup>in the fine 

particles. In the coarse particles, NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>completely coexisted with 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The waste dump of an iron mine in Anhui Province has been abandoned for several 

decades. Pyrite in the exposed waste ores is oxidized by acidophiles and large amounts of 

metal ions and H<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>are released, resulting in the formation of an 

acid mine drainage (AMD) lake since 1970s. Besides the lake, there are also some small-

scale AMD adjacent to the newly deposited waste ore. In order to study the acid 

generation potential of the waste ore and the related microbial communities, soil samples 

were taken from beside the AMD lake (1LL) and small-scale AMD (5J, 5Y, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3) and 

the physicochemical properties and microbial community of these samples were analyzed. 

The results reveal that all of samples were highly acidic and the pH of the 1LL sample 

was 2.77, while the other samples were even more acidic, at less than 2.6. The electrical 

conductivity (EC) (0.32 mS&middot;cm<sup>-1</sup>) of the 1LL sample was obviously lower 

than the other samples (2.25-7.08 mS&middot;cm<sup>-1</sup>), which indicates that the 

newly deposited waste ore contains higher ion concentrations. The 

Fe<sup>2+</sup>concentration of the 1LL sample was only 0.80 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>but 

the other five samples were as high as 2.91-33.40 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. This 

suggests that most of the Fe<sup>2+</sup>in the 1LL sample has been converted to 

Fe<sup>3+</sup>after long-term oxidization. High-throughput sequencing results showed 

that most acidophiles in 1LL sample were Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi 

but the microbes in the remaining five samples were &gamma;-Proteobacteria, Firmicutes 

and Nitrospira. The iron-sulfur oxidizing bacteria, such as Sulfobacillus, 

Leptospirillum, Acidithiobacillus, were scarce in the 1LL sample, while they highly 

abundant in the other five samples, which proves that the acid-generation process of the 

newly deposited waste ore is strong. However, the reduced iron and sulfur in the 1LL 

sample has nearly been depleted. Statistical analysis shows that the microbial 

composition of the 1LL sample is significantly different to that of the five newly 

deposited samples, illustrating that microbial community composition is remarkably 

influenced by physicochemical conditions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:The distribution of external phosphorus (P) in the overlying water, pore water, 

and sediment under different disturbances were investigated and the transformation 

between internal P forms was analyzed. The results show that physical disturbances can 

promote the migration of external P from the overlying water to the sediment. In 

addition, the enhancement was even higher due to the bioturbation of the combined 

disturbances. Noticeably, the improvement of the P migration in the control was lowest, 

compared with the three disturbances. This may be attributed to the penetration of 

dissolved oxygen. Meanwhile, the physical disturbance reduced the average content of 

(dissolved organic phosphorus) DIP in the pore water by 12.13% (a mean of 6d and 10d), 

compared with the control. However the reduction was less than that associated with the 

bioturbation (38.63%) and the combined disturbance (50.79%), respectively. These three 

disturbances may promote the formation of Fe/Al-P and Ca-P. The formation of Fe/Al-P and 

Ca-P was largest under the physical disturbance. However, the algal-available phosphorus 

(AAP) is reduced due to the physical disturbance, suggesting that physical disturbance 

may promote the transformation of AAP to occluded Fe/Al-P or Ca-P.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:With the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the river flow pattern and 

sediment dynamics are expected to be affected. As a consequence, the sediment traits 

could be impacted by these changes. The temporal and spatial variation characteristics of 

the nutrient content from 2000 to 2015 in surface sediment were analyzed in the main 

stream from Jiangjin to the dam site section of the Yangtze River and in the estuaries of 

the representative input tributaries of the Three Gorges Reservoir, such as the Jialing 

River, Yulin River, Wujiang River, Xiaojiang River, Daning River, and Xiangxi River. 

Then, the state of the pollution was assessed. Results revealed that the average 

concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) in the surface sediments of the main stream 

ranged from 678.2 to 928.6 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the average contents of total 

nitrogen (TN) ranged from 0.203% to 0.362%, the average contents of potassium ranged from 

1.74% to 2.37%, and the average contents of organic matter ranged from 0.94% to 1.54%. 

The average concentrations of TP in the estuaries of the representative input tributaries 

ranged from 490.1 to 832.3 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, the average contents of TN ranged 

from 0.257% to 0.495%, the average contents of potassium ranged from 1.69% to 2.32%, and 

the average contents of organic matter ranged from 1.21% to 2.27%. The concentrations of 

TP and potassium in the study sections were generally within background concentration 

ranges, while the concentrations of TN were obviously above background levels, and the 

concentrations of organic matter were obviously below background levels. The nutrient 

contents in the surface sediment did not display significant differences among the study 

sites; however, the distributions of different nutrient contents along the river varied 

widely. Although the nutrient contents in the surface sediments fluctuated somewhat 

during different flow periods, they were seemingly unaffected by the impoundment, since 

no obvious enrichment was observed throughout the impoundment. The evaluation of organic 

index indicated a clean state for the surface sediments in the majority of the study 

area, while there was a moderately polluted state in some local sections. The evaluation 

of nitrogen pollution indicated a polluted state for most sections. Overall, the 

nutrients in the surface sediments of the Three Gorges Reservoir showed moderate 

ecological risks, possibly caused by TP and TN.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Surface water, Elodea nuttallii and undisturbed sediment cores from the Qinshui 

River in Gonghu Bay were collected to carry out a simulation experiment in a laboratory 

to study the effect of Elodea nuttallii-immobilized nitrogen-cycling bacteria on nitrogen 

removal mechanisms from the river water. In this study, the transformation and fate of 

ammonium among four different treatment groups were investigated by using a 

stable<sup>15</sup>N isotope pairing technique combined with high-throughput sequencing 

technology [Treatment A: bare sediment, Treatment B: sediment+immobilized nitrogen 

cycling bacteria (INCB), Treatment C: sediment+E. nuttallii, Treatment D: sediment+INCB

+E. nuttallii]. The results of the<sup>15</sup>N mass-balance model showed that there 

were three pathways to the ultimate fate of nitrogen: precipitated with the sediments, 

absorbed by E. nuttallii, and consumed by microbial processes [denitrification and 

anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX)]. The percentages of E. nuttallii assimilated in 

the<sup>15</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were 25.44% and 19.79% for treatments C and D. 

The sediment storage ratio of<sup>15</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>accounted for 7.94%, 

5.52%, 6.47% and 4.86% in treatments A, B, C, and D, respectively. The proportion 

of<sup>15</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>lost as<sup>15</sup>N-labelled gas were 16.06%, 

28.86%, 16.93% and 33.09% in the four different treatment groups, respectively. 

Denitrification and anammox were the bacterial primary processes in N<inf>2</inf>and 

N<inf>2</inf>O production. The abundance and diversity of microorganisms was relatively 

higher in the treatment with E. nuttallii-immobilized nitrogen cycling bacteria (E-INCB) 

assemblage technology applied. Furthermore, the removal rates 

of<sup>15</sup>NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>were 24%, 34.38%, 48.84% and 57.74% in 

treatments A, B, C and D, respectively. These results show that the E-INCB assemblage 

technology may improve the capacity for nitrogen removal from the river water.<br/>

Abstract:This research aimed to determine the characteristics of the motor vehicle 

exhaust emissions in the plateau area. The PM<inf>2.5</inf>was evaluated in the Caohai 

Tunnel of Kunming for this study by measuring the water-soluble inorganic ions, 

carbonaceous species, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and inorganic elements in 

air samples. The results showed that the mass concentration of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in the 

tunnel was about 225.65-312.84 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, which is 11-14 times the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration in the ambient atmosphere. The carbonaceous species were 

the most abundant species, constituting 35.73% of the total PM<inf>2 5</inf>mass, 

followed by inorganic elements constituting about 21.78% and the water-soluble inorganic 

ions in the range of 4.79%-5.52%. The smallest proportion of the PM<inf>2.5</inf>was PAH, 

constituting about 0.25%-0.32%. The Ca<sup>2+</sup>and SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-

</sup>concentrations were the highest among the water-soluble inorganic ions, which 

accounted for about 77.78%-80.17% of the total ions and from the crust source. 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>are relatively high, coming 

mainly from automobile exhausts. The 4 and 6 ring PAHs with higher molecular weight and 

lower volatility were the dominant components of PM<inf>2.5</inf>in the Caohai Tunnel. 

The automobile exhaust contributing to PAHs in PM<inf>2.5</inf>is very significant. The 

most poisonous single BaP concentration is 23-29 times higher than the state regulations 

exposure limit, and it has reached a hazardous level. It is obvious that there are health 

risks from the exposure to PM<inf>2.5</inf>in the plateau highway tunnel. A principal 

component analysis (PCA) showed that the sources of road dust and automobile exhaust 

emission were about 61.64%, followed by mechanical wear and emissions that accounted for 

about 17.49% and tire wear emission sources that accounted for 9.11% of the total 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>. Under the conditions of hypobaric hypoxia in the Yun-Gui plateau, there 

is a greater chance of incomplete combustion of motor vehicle fuels, resulting in the 

increase in OC and PAHs in PM<inf>2.5</inf>emissions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:MIL-88A@MIP was fabricated for the first time in this experiment with a metal-

organic framework of MIL-88A as the precursor based on the molecular imprinting method. 

It was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), 

energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and N<inf>2</inf>adsorption. The catalytic 

performance of MIL-88A@MIP was tested to activate persulfate (PS) to generate 

SO<inf>4</inf><sup>-&middot;</sup>for the degradation of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which 

was used as a target pollutant. Compared with the precursor MIL-88A, the catalytic 

activity of MIL-88A@MIP was improved effectively through targeted modification, and the 

DBP removal rate increased 80.4% after reacting for 480 min. An experiment determining 

the influencing factors showed that the optimum activation condition of the catalyst was 

PS:DBP=600:1, MIL-88A@MIP dosage of 0.5 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and pH=3.26. 

Furthermore, MIL-88A@MIP shows a high capability of removing different phthalic acid 

ester (PAE) contaminants that reflect its targeting selectivity.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:PM<inf>2.5</inf>samples were collected in a northern suburb of Nanjing during 

the winter of 2015. Water soluble ions and carbonaceous substances under different air 

quality levels were analyzed by an 850 professional IC-type ion chromatograph produced by 

Metrohm and a Model 2001A carbon analyzer. The results show that the average mass 

concentration of PM<inf>2.5</inf>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>, and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>during heavy pollution days was 4.0, 6.4, 3.1, and 

3.9 times higher than on clear days, respectively. Three main secondary ions were all in 

the form of (NH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>4</inf>and NH<inf>4</inf>NO<inf>3</inf>on 

all days. Two kinds of acid pollution days were mainly affected by the flow source. The 

proportion of fixed sources on the heavy pollution days was greater than on the 

light/moderate pollution days. The highest mass concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and 

elemental carbon (EC) were 49.8 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>and 10.3 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>, respectively. The average concentration of SOC on clear days was the lowest 

(4.28 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>). The proportion of secondary organic carbon (SOC) in 

the OC on clear days was more than on the other two pollution days (41.14%). Coal 

combustion and motor vehicle exhaust emissions were the main contributors to carbonaceous 

substances by abundances of carbonaceous components.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:In order to seek ways to improve the quality of polluted rivers, this study 

selected the heavily polluted Yinghe River in China for study, as there is a requirement 

to improve water quality from the Yangtze River to the Yinghe River. The permanganate 

index and ammonia nitrogen are the main pollutant targets for the Yinghe River. This 

study applies MIKE11 to set up a one-dimensional model of the hydrodynamics and water 

quality using a numerical simulation method to determine the optimal method for river 

water quality improvement. The simulation experiment tests the influence of factors, such 

as the supplementary water flow, replenishment water quality, water replenishment 

position, and method of water supply to improve the water quality. The simulation results 

indicate that water quality improvement can be simulated with the hydrodynamic module 

(HD) and the convective diffusion module (AD) combined with the rainfall runoff module 

(NAM) in the MIKE11 model. In practice, the option with the best replenishment effect is 

to use class III at point 1 and to use class IV at points 2 and 3 when the supplementary 

water flow rate is 10% of the river bottom flow. The reduction in permanganate index and 

ammonia nitrogen was, respectively, 72.3% and 55.7%, and over 85% of the study area 

reached the standard of class IV water quality. This provides a new method for river 

pollution control.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Marine ranching is a new sustainable production method, which plays an important 

role in the transformation of China's marine economy. In this paper, Haizhou Bay marine 

ranching was divided into 3 areas according to the intensity and delivery time of the 

submarine structures. Five geochemical indicators of temperature (T), pH, oxidation-

reduction potential (Eh), grain size (D[3,2]) and total organic carbon (TOC) were 

determined on-site. A modified European Community Bureau of Reference(BCR)sequential 

extraction procedure was applied to determine the chemical speciation of different heavy 

metals (i.e. Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, and Cd). The results showed a horizontal distribution of 

the Eh was influenced by the submarine structures. The TOC content ranged from 11.7 to 

13.5 g&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, which had a significant negative correlation with pH. Pb 

and Cd mainly present in the secondary phase of iron manganese oxide forms (F2), which 

were controlled by the Eh, however, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Cr were mainly present in the primary 

phase. A correlation and cluster analysis indicated that the Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn present 

in sediments were from natural sources, while the Cd and Pb content obviously came from 

anthropogenic metal sources. The exchangeable and carbonate fractions (F1) of Cr, Ni, Cu, 

Zn, Pb, and Cd were significantly correlated with TOC. The residuals (F4) of Cr, Ni, Cu, 

Zn, Pb, Cd were significantly correlated with the grain size of sediments as well as the 

iron-manganese oxide forms (F2) of Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn. A different speciation of Cd was 

controlled by multiple geochemical characteristics of the sediment. The heavy metal 

levels of the primary and secondary phases in the central and lateral areas were lower 

than the control and medial areas because of differences in the submarine structures and 

hydrodynamics. The enrichment and adsorption of Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn in sediment was 

stronger than the release of particles that were resuspended. While the influence of fine 

particles and organic matter from the sediment in the central and outer areas was 

limited, an enrichment factor analysis suggested that Cd in sediment showed enrichment to 

some extent. This paper provides a scientific basis for the construction of marine 

ranching and ecological restoration in Haizhou Bay.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Using ultrasonic assisted extraction, column chromatograph purification and gas 

chromatograph-mass spectrometer(GC-MS) analysis method to quantify the contents of seven 

kinds of organic phosphorus ester(OPEs) in plastic tracks in Chengdu City. The recovery 

rates of this method ranged from 71.41% to 110.58% and the correlation coefficient (r) of 

the standard curve was higher than 0.99, which demonstrates satisfying quality control. 

Plastic track samples were collected from twelve schools in Chengdu. The results show 

that OPEs are detected in two-thirds of plastic track samples. TnBP [Tri-n-butyl 

phosphate] and TEHP [tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate] were detected with high frequency, 

while TCEP [tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate], TDCPP [tridichloropropyl phosphate] and TPhP 

[triphenyl phosphate] were not detected in any samples. Contents of the total OPEs 

(&sum;7OPEs) in the plastic track ranged from ND to 534.89 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. TnBP

indicate that the government should limit the consumption, as well as the type of OPEs 

which are added to plastic tracks, to protect population health.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:A field experiment was conducted in the Key Field Station for Monitoring of 

Eco-Environment of Purple Soil of the Ministry of Agriculture of China in the farm of 

Southwest University in Chongqing. Static opaque chamber and gas chromatography methods 

were used to study the effect of plastic film mulching on CH<inf>4</inf>and 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions characteristics from a rice-rapeseed crop rotation in situ for 

one year. The results showed that CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O emissions are mainly 

concentrated in the early stages of the growth of each crop and there is a clear seasonal 

variation of CH<inf>4</inf>emissions during the rice growing period and N<inf>2</inf>O in 

the rapeseed growing period. The CH<inf>4</inf>flux changed from -0.45 to 1.90 

mg&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and the N<inf>2</inf>O flux varied between 

-46.1 and 2 040.7 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>2</sup>&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>over the entire year. 

Plastic film mulching was found to increase the total emissions of CH<inf>4</inf>and 

N<inf>2</inf>O, with the total CH<inf>4</inf>emission of(27.22&plusmn;4.48) 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>over the entire year, which is 26.22% higher than that of the 

non-mulching treatment(19.93&plusmn;0.56) kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>. The total amount of 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions under film mulching treatment increased 16.6% from 

(11.27&plusmn;2.77) kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>under no mulching treatment to 

(13.14&plusmn;0.82) kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>. The results analyzed for soil moisture and 

soil temperature showed that mulching significantly increased the soil moisture during 

the rapeseed season, while there was no obvious correlation with soil temperature (at 

depths of 5 cm and for the surface temperature) for each crop season. During the rapeseed 

growing season, CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O emissions negatively correlated with 

soil moisture and has a significant negative correlation during the seedling period with 

film mulching treatment. Moreover, under the two treatments, the correlation between 

CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O emissions and soil temperature was negligible. This 

study indicates that plastic film mulching impacts CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O 

emissions at different growth stages of the crops, which changes the proportion of the 

emission of the two gases over the whole growth period, and promotes the emission of 

CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O in the rice-rapeseed system. In the time scale of 100 

years, the integrated global warming potentials (GWP) of CH<inf>4</inf>and N<inf>2</inf>O 

emission under plastic film was a CO<inf>2</inf>equivalent of 4 213.00 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>compared with that under conventional treatment of 3 454.17 

kg&middot;hm<sup>-2</sup>. Conventional emits 22.0% less CO<inf>2</inf>, indicating that 

plastic film mulching is not an effective measure for carbon sequestration.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Based on the winter wheat-summer maize rotation field experiment, the effects of 

biochar and organic fertilizer on saline-alkali soil N<inf>2</inf>O emissions in the 

summer maize season were studied in Binzhou in the Shandong Province to provide a 

theoretical basis for reducing N<inf>2</inf>O emissions from saline-alkali soil. The 

experiment includes six treatments with three replications: CK [N: 0.2 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf>: 0.12 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, K<inf>2</inf>O: 0.2 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>], C1 [5 t&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>biochar], C2 [10 t&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>biochar], C3 [20 

t&middot;(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>biochar], M1 [7.5 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>organic fertilizer], and M2 [10 t&middot;

(hm<sup>2</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>organic fertilizer]. The same nitrogen, phosphorus, 

and potassium fertilizer was applied for each treatment. The results showed that the 

dynamic trend of the soil N<inf>2</inf>O fluxes among different treatments were similar. 

The peak N<inf>2</inf>O emissions occurred after fertilization (base fertilizer and 

topdressing). The N<inf>2</inf>O cumulative emission fluxes accounted for nearly half of 

the emissions during the whole growth period, and the N<inf>2</inf>O emissions of the C1, 

C2, and C3 treatments were lower than that of CK after fertilization. Compared with CK, 

the N<inf>2</inf>O cumulative emissions from C1 and C2 were reduced by 45.3% and 31.6%, 

respectively, but C3, M1, and M2 increased by 17.3%, 37.4%, and 27.6%, respectively. 

Biochar and organic fertilizer both affected N<inf>2</inf>O emission fluxes. Applying 

biochar can reduce N<inf>2</inf>O emissions, while organic fertilizer can increase 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions. In summary, biochar has a great advantage in reducing 

N<inf>2</inf>O emissions in the farmland.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Sewage sludge contains a high level of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, 

potassium and organic matter, with a high recovery value. The presence of heavy metals in 

sludges has become a major limiting factor in the utilization of these sludges. 

Therefore, the removal of heavy metals before land application of sewage sludge has 

become very necessary. Two municipal sewage sludges (S1 and S2) were collected from 

municipal wastewater plants in Wuhan city and were studied by oscillation leaching 

experiments with combination of saponin and citric acid to evaluate their removal 

efficiencies for Cu, Pb and Zn at different volume ratios (20:1-1:20), ratios of solid to 

liquid (1:20-1:80), reaction times (0-2 880 min), and leaching times (1-4). The heavy 

metal fractions in the sewage sludges were analyzed before and after leaching to study 

changes in the stability and mobility of heavy metals by calculating a stability factor 

[relative bonding strength of heavy metals (I<inf>R</inf>)] and a mobility factor (MF). 

The results show that the highest removal efficiency of Cu, Pb, and Zn was 43.16% (S1), 

32.45% (S2) and 38.69% (S1), respectively under the removal conditions of a volume ratio 

(saponin: citric acid) of 5:1, solid-liquid ratio of 1:60, and leaching time of 1 440 

min. The removal efficiencies of Cu and Pb were significantly enhanced and Zn had a small 

increase with longer leaching times, which was significantly different after two to three 

washing times. The highest removal rate of Cu, Pb, and Zn was 78.89% (S1), 77.08% (S2) 

and 49.39% (S1) after four washing times, respectively. Beyond acid soluble and reducible 

fractions, other forms of heavy metals have very low removal rates after a single 

leaching. The removal rates of heavy metal fractions increased by increasing the leaching 

time, particularly for Pb, which in the residual fraction was significantly increased. 

The stability and mobility of heavy metals changes after each leaching. For example, the 

I<inf>R</inf>of Cu, Pb, and Zn increased to 43.63% (S1), 39.44% (S2) and 32.00% (S1), 

respectively, and the MF of these heavy metals decreased from 30.19% to 79.45% in the 

sewage sludges after four washing events.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:In order to investigate the various pollution characteristics and sources of 

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different environmental media, 23 street dust 

samples and four soil samples were collected in October 2012 in Daqing City. After 

extraction by Dionex ASE300 and purification, the content of the US EPA priority 

pollutants [16 individual PAH and total PAHs (&sum;PAHs)] was determined by using gas 

chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results showed that the range of &sum;PAHs 

content in street dust was 579.5-4 656.7 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>, and the average 

content was 1 839.7 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>. The mass percentage of PAHs in the street 

dust in different functional areas in Daqing showed a similar mass ratio range, with the 

average mass percentage of low ring (2-3 rings) PAHs of 37.9%, medium ring (4 rings) PAHs 

of 37.3%, and high ring (5-6 rings) PAHs of 24.8%. However, low ring PAHs, with mass 

ratios of 69.3%-99.97%, overwhelmingly dominated the Daqing soil, Daqing lake sediment, 

Daqing lakes, and Daqing ponds (data from literature). The distribution of &sum;PAHs 

content was not significant among different functional areas and was closely related to 

the type of the plants around the sampling sites. The isomer ratio method confirmed that 

the sources of PAHs in the street dust in the study area were mixed sources, including 

oil spills, fuel oil combustion, and coal/biomass burning. Positive matrix factorization 

(PMF) results showed that the PAHs in the street dust in the center of Daqing originated 

from coal combustion, oil spill sources, industrial sources, and traffic sources, with 

contribution rates of 30.1%, 26.9%, 23.6%, and 19.3%, respectively, which were not 

exactly the same trend as that in other media.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

samples of road dust were collected in 2014 and 2016 in Anshan and Panjin and then re-

suspended on filters using an NK-ZXF sampler. The concentrations of the major water-

soluble inorganic ions were analyzed by ion chromatography. A correlation analysis, 

ratios, and a principal component analysis were used to analyze the sources of RD. The 

results showed that the total water-soluble inorganic ions in Panjin and Anshan accounted 

for 5.83%&plusmn;3.34% and 5.84%&plusmn;1.15% in RD PM<inf>2.5</inf>, respectively.

Abstract:Based on a geo-weighted regression model, this study analyzes the relationship 

between the landscape patterns of sources and sinks in urban areas and atmospheric haze 

pollution. First, the classification result of the study area is divided into a number of 

square grids with side lengths of 2-9 km. Heterogeneity indices at different scales are 

calculated and compared to select an optimal scale for the following analysis. Then, the 

category level landscape indices, such as PLAND, PD, COHEDION, LPI, and FRAC_MN, are 

calculated in each grid. The aerosol optical thickness (AOD) of Wuhan is used to 

represent the degree of atmospheric haze pollution. Furthermore, the mean value of the 

pixels in each grid is regarded as the value of the grid's center. Next, the landscape 

sources and sinks of atmospheric haze pollution are selected based on the analysis of the 

correlation between landscape indices and AOD. To make the following analysis more 

efficient, the indices selected previously are determined using their correlation 

coefficients. Finally, the geo-weighted regression analysis model is used to analyze the 

relationship between the landscape indices of the category level and AOD. In addition, 

the influences of industrial, commercial, and residential areas on haze pollution are 

analyzed based on the result of the classification of urban functional areas. The results 

show that the heterogeneity of the whole landscape is most obvious at a 6 km scale, so 6 

km is the optimal scale for the analysis. The landscape sources of atmospheric haze 

pollution are the buildings, and the landscape sinks are shrubs and woodland. Reducing 

the proportion of landscape source area and increasing the degree of fragmentation can 

cut down aerosol optical thickness. Distributing the landscape sources and sinks evenly 

and interspersedly could effectively reduce aerosol optical thickness, which represents 

atmospheric haze pollution. For Wuhan City, the main sources of haze pollution are 

commercial and residential areas in the city center, representing public sources. Since 

it is not easy to adjust existing facilities and infrastructure, adjusting built-up areas 

slightly and planning reasonably for those areas that are not yet built up can reduce 

atmospheric haze pollution.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:This study clarifies the distribution and migration characteristics of 

phosphorus in the soil profile and discusses the phosphorus load of farmland after 

continuous application of different organic fertilizers. The distribution and migration 

characteristics of phosphorus in soil profiles were studied through a field experiment 

lasting four consecutive years. The results showed that total phosphorus and Olsen-P are 

mainly accumulated in the soil surface, and their contents decrease with the deepening of 

soil depth after the continuous application of different fertilizers. With a four-year 

application of higher levels of organic fertilizer, the total phosphorus was found to 

migrate into the 15-30 cm soil layer. Olsen-P was found to migrate into the 60-90 cm soil 

layer under higher levels of pig manure. The ratio of available phosphorus to total 

phosphorus in the soil surface increased, and there were significant differences after 

the application of different amounts of organic fertilizers. The amount of Olsen-P as a 

proportion of total phosphorus in the soil profile decreased as pig manure 

treatment&gt;chicken manure treatment&gt;sludge treatment&gt;phosphate fertilizer 

treatment. After the application of chicken manure, pig manure, sludge, and phosphate 

fertilizer, the value of Olsen-P in the soil surface increased with an increase in 

phosphorus input and then remained stable. When applying the same phosphorus onto the 

soil, the contribution of different organic fertilizers to Olsen-P in the surface soil 

was quite different. The bioavailability and mobility of phosphorus from pig manure was 

significantly higher than that of chicken manure, sludge, and phosphate fertilizer.<br/>

Abstract:In order to reduce the ammonia volatilization in paddy fields, seven treatments 

were evaluated. These included three slow-release nitrogen fertilizers [sulfur-coated 

urea (SCU); resin-coated urea (RCU); release bulk blending fertilizer (RBB)], two 

fertilization modes [single base fertilization (B) and combined with panicle fertilizer 

(BF)], and conventional split fertilization (CN). The effects of side deep fertilization 

for slow-release nitrogen fertilizers on ammonia volatilization and surface water 

nitrogen dynamics were examined using a rice transplanter with a fertilizer sowing 

mechanism in the Taihu Lake region. The results showed that total nitrogen and ammonium 

nitrogen concentration in the surface water of the SCU treatment in the base period were 

higher, and those for RCU and RBB were lower than in the CN treatment. The cumulative 

ammonia volatilization during the whole rice season varied among different types of 

slow-release nitrogen fertilizers from 3.84% to 28.17% of the total N applied. The 

nitrogen loss from ammonia volatilization using the three slow-release nitrogen 

fertilizers was decreased when compared with conventional split fertilization. The 

ammonia volatilization loss exhibited the following relationship for the treatments: CN, 

B-SCU&gt;BF-SCU, BF-RBB, BF-RCU, B-RBB, and B-RCU. When the slow-release nitrogen 

fertilizers were applied in single base fertilization, the total ammonia volatilization 

for the SCU was significantly higher than those for the RCU and RBB, while no significant 

differences were detected when these three slow-release fertilizers were combined with 

panicle fertilizer. Moreover, although the ammonia volatilization of BF-SCU was lower 

than that of B-SCU, those of BF-RCU and BF-RBB were higher than those with the B-RCU and 

B-RBB treatments, respectively. There are no significant differences for nitrogen 

volatilization when any of these three different fertilizers are applied as B or BF. The 

results for the emissions during ammonia volatilization during different stages indicated 

that the ammonia volatilization of SCU at the basal-tillering fertilization stage (7.54%) 

and the tillering-panicle fertilization stage (16.04%) were higher than those of the 

panicle fertilization-mature stage. The N loss from ammonia volatilization for RBB in the 

base-tillering fertilization stage (2.91%) increased more than in the tillering-panicle 

fertilization stage and panicle fertilization-mature stage. For RCU treatment, the 

highest rate for ammonia volatilization was detected at the panicle fertilization-mature 

stage (2.75%). Compared with the single base fertilization mode, ammonia volatilization 

during the panicle fertilization-mature stage was increased when combined with panicle 

fertilizer (BF) for the slow-release fertilizer. There was no obvious correlation between 

the N loss with ammonia volatilization for the three slow-release nitrogen fertilizers 

and the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in surface water during the panicle 

fertilization-mature stage.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The operational control conditions for realizing shortcut nitrification in the 

membrane bioreactor (MBR) process was investigated in a lab-scale anaerobic baffled 

reactor (ABR)-MBR combined system, which laid the foundation for further research on the 

performance of denitrification phosphorus removal in the system. The experimental results 

under different conditions showed that shortcut nitrification in the MBR was achieved by 

controlling the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration to low levels (0.5-1.0 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 0.3-0.7 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and changing the effective 

volume of the MBR to control hydraulic retention time (HRT), with the HRT in the ABR 

equal to 6 h, sludge reflux ratio of 100%, NO<inf>x</inf><sup>-</sup>-N reflux ratio of 

300%, and temperature of 30&#8451;&plusmn;2&#8451;. Finally, the shortcut nitrification 

deteriorated as the HRT in the MBR increased from 3 h to 5 h, with nitrite accumulation 

rate dramatically dropping from 60% to 15%. The analysis of the influencing factors of 

shortcut nitrification showed that maintaining low DO concentration (0.3-0.7 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and gradually shortening HRT were the key factors. The pH, free 

ammonia (FA), free nitrous acid (FNA), temperature, and sludge retention time (SRT) had a 

slightly positive effect on shortcut nitrification. During the period of shortcut 

nitrification, a stable and high efficiency removal of COD and NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N were achieved, and the average concentration of the effluent of COD and 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N, whose removal rates were above 90%, were below 50 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 2 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and the removal 

efficiency of total nitrogen (TN) reached 72%.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

the Chengdu Plain. The results showed that: &#9312;Affected by human activities, 

CO<inf>2</inf>, CH<inf>4</inf>, and N<inf>2</inf>O fluxes were high in ditches and ranged

Abstract:Six micro-polluted landscape water bodies were selected to explore the 

relationship between water quality and the nirS-Type denitrifier community structure and 

diversity with an Illumina high-throughput sequencing technique. The results of a 

physico-chemical analysis of the water bodies showed that the Fengqing Park (FQ) and 

Laodong Park (LD) water bodies were classified as inferior V water quality, the Qujiang 

Park (QJ), Mutasi Park (MTS), and Xinjiyuan Park (XJY) water bodies were classified as V 

water quality, and the Yongyang Park (YY) water quality was classified as IV. The TN 

values varied from 1.21 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>to 6.50 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, with 

the lowest value found in YY and the highest in FQ (P&lt;0.05). TP was significantly 

higher in LD (0.10 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and significantly lower in QJ [0.02 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>(P&lt;0.05)]. The NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N in LD was 4.44 

times higher than that in QJ and FQ (P&lt;0.01). Illumina high-throughput sequencing 

revealed that the denitrifier community composition was significantly different among the 

six water bodies, and Paracoccus sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Rubrivivax sp. were the 

dominant genus species. A principle component analysis (PCA) indicated that the nirS-Type 

denitrifier communities of XJY and MTS were mainly regulated by NH<inf>4</inf><sup>

+</sup>-N and the permanganate index, LD and FQ were significantly influenced by 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, TN, TP, and DO, and YY was 

significantly influenced by pH value. Our results showed that nirS-Type denitrifier 

communities were regulated by different water quality indicators.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Semi-continuous biogas production from fruit and vegetable waste by medium 

temperature anaerobic fermentation was conducted. Hydrogen production under different 

food-microorganism ratios (F/M 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5) and hydraulic retention times (HRT) 

(2, 3, 4 d) were investigated. The results show that in the case of a smaller F/M values 

(0.5 and 0.75), not all HRT stages were conducive to the continuous production of 

hydrogen, however, they were conducive to producing methane, especially when HRT was 3 or 

4 d. Continuous hydrogen production was viable when the F/M ration was relatively higher 

(1.0 and 1.5), however, this was not conducive to the production of methane, with almost 

no methane production detected in this process. A F/M of 1.0 and a HRT of 3 d provided 

the best conditions for continuous hydrogen production from fruit and vegetable waste. 

Meanwhile, the highest and average daily volume of hydrogen production were 451.2 

mL&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>and (186&plusmn;29) mL&middot;(L&middot;d)<sup>-

1</sup>respectively, whereas the highest and average hydrogen production rate of volatile 

solids were 133 mL&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and (27&plusmn;5) mL&middot;g<sup>-

Abstract:To understand the heavy metals content such as As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn, 

as well as their distribution features in surface sediments of tidal flat areas of 

Eastern China, mathematical statistics, correlation analysis, factor analysis and other 

statistical methods are used. This study collected 1906 surface sediment samples of As, 

Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn were collected as part of a systematic research effort. These 

results show that the coastal tidal flats zone of Eastern China contains surface sediment 

samples with heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn) with is not high 

but has increased due to anthropogenic sources. The total content of heavy metals in 

Jiangsu province is low, however, in Shanghai and Zhejiang provinces relatively high 

heavy metal contents are present. In addition to natural causes, the heavy metal content 

in coastal sediment in Shanghai and Zhejiang is significantly affected by human 

activities, while Jiangsu coastal surface sediments has light impacts from human 

activities. Heavy metal contamination in coastal areas Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Fujian 

provinces is particularly serious including Hg, Cd, and Cu contamination. The results of 

an evaluation using the Marine Pollution Sediment Index and Mean Sediment Quality 

Guidelines show that in Eastern China, the overall sediment pollutant ecological risk is 

low for Jiangsu and Fujian provinces, however, the ecological risk for the tidal flats of 

Shanghai and Zhejiang provincial beaches is relatively high due to heavy metal 

concentrations.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Organophosphate esters (OPEs) were first identified and quantified in farmland 

and riparian soil in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) of western China. The mean 

concentrations of OPEs were 272 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dry weight (dw) in farmland soil 

and 498 ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>dw in riparian soil. These values lie at the middle of 

the range of worldwide values. Hydrodynamic conditions might be important factors 

contributing to the slightly different spatial distribution of the OPEs. The 

concentrations of the OPEs in riparian soil exceed those in farmland soil, which could 

partly be ascribed to the operation of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD). Of particular note is 

the elevated contribution of TCP, followed by EHDPP, accounting for more than 90% of the 

total OPEs, and the degradation of TBEP by microorganisms in the soil could be related to 

the low occurrence of TBEP. Significant correlation between the OPE concentrations in 

farmland and riparian soil were obtained, indicating that the OPEs in farmland and 

riparian soil originated from the same source. A principal component analysis (PCA) 

showed that the OPEs in farmland soil might come largely from construction and decoration 

materials, and the OPEs in riparian soil may be derived from a combination of 

construction materials and vehicular traffic emissions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Using the satellite-derived Fine Particulate Matter (PM<inf>2.5</inf>) data of 

global high-precision products during 1998-2012, detailed characteristics of 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>distribution over East China and its change are given, and the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>exposure levels for population and economy in Zhejiang is further 

analyzed in this context. The results show that the overall variability of the regional 

average value of PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration exhibits an increasing trend followed by a 

decrease during 1998-2012, which is consistent in both the East China and Zhejiang 

provinces; the turning point occurs around 2007-2009. In the initial years (1998-2000), 

annual average PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations are below 50 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in 

the southern part of East China and eastern part of Shandong, while it is 50-75 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>in other areas. During this period, 51.8% of the area in East 

China and 21.1% of the area in Zhejiang have PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations larger than 

35 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>(Air quality standard value in China). The rising trend in 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration is extremely obvious in 1998-2009; the mean linear trend 

over East China is 2.58 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, while it is 

1.43 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>over Zhejiang province. 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration reaches its maximum during 2007-2009. The area where 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration is larger than 35 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>reaches 82.1% 

in East China and 65.9% in Zhejiang province. After that, the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentration begins to decrease in each region, and the average change 

trend in East China and Zhejiang are -1.75 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-

1</sup>and -1.58 &mu;g&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;a)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The 

regional area in which PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations aregreater than 35 

&mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>displays a slight decline during 2010-2012, which suggests 

that the energy conservation and emission reduction plan proposed by the Chinese 

government and associated measures may play a vital role in improving air quality of East 

China. In 2010, the proportion of the population and GDP for which the 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>exposure level exceeded 35 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>were 74.0% and 

70.8%, respectively, of which 38.1% of the population lives in an environment where 

annual average PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations are more than 50 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-

3</sup>. In addition, 38.9% of the GDP is produced in an environment with annual average 

PM<inf>2.5</inf>concentrations more than 50 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:Black carbon (BC) is an important component of atmospheric pollution and has 

significant impacts on air quality and human health. Choosing Shanghai city for a case 

study, this paper explores the statistical characteristics and spatial patterns of BC 

concentrations using a mobile monitoring method, which differs from traditional fixed-

site observations. Land use regression (LUR) modeling was conducted to examine the 

determinants for on-road BC concentrations, e.g. population, economic development, 

traffic, etc. These results showed that the average on-road BC concentrations were 

(9.86&plusmn;8.68) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>, with a significant spatial variation. BC 

concentrations in suburban areas [(10.47&plusmn;2.04) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>] were 

32.03% (2.54 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>) higher than those in the city center 

[(7.93&plusmn;2.79) &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>]. Besides, meteorological factors (e.g. 

wind speed and relative humidity) and traffic variables (e.g. the length of roads, 

distance to provincial roads, distance to highway) had significant effects on on-road BC 

concentrations (r: 0.5-0.7, P&lt;0.01). Moreover, the LUR model, including meteorological 

and traffic variables performed well (adjusted R<sup>2</sup>: 0.62-0.75, cross validation 

R<sup>2</sup>: 0.54-0.69, RMSE: 0.15-0.20 &mu;g&middot;m<sup>-3</sup>), which 

demonstrates that on-road BC concentrations in Shanghai are mainly affected by these 

factors and traffic sources to some extent. Among them, the most accurate LUR model was 

developed with a 100 m buffer, followed by the LUR model with a 5 km buffer. This study 

is of great significance for the identification of spatial distribution patterns for on-

road BC concentration and exploring their influencing factors in Shanghai, which can 

provide a scientific basis and theoretical support for simulating and predicting the 

response mechanisms of BC on human health and the natural environment.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Based on the determinations of total nitrogen (TN), organic matter (OM), 

carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N), &delta;<sup>15</sup>N, and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C on 12 

sediment cores, the distribution characteristics and the sources of nitrogen and organic 

matter were analyzed in sediments from the lower reaches and main tributaries of the 

Maozhou River. The results showed that the average concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) 

and organic matter (OM) were 1 815.37 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>and 22 401.68 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, in the Maozhou River sediments, which were 

higher than in TaihuLake and ChaohuLake. The levels of TN and OM in the study area were 

high and varied greatly with the increase of depth. The &delta;<sup>15</sup>N content in 

the sediments of the MaozhouRiver downstream ranged from 2.20 &permil; to 32.78 &permil;, 

while the &delta;<sup>13</sup>C content ranged from -27.53 &permil; to -21.95 &permil;. 

The average concentrations of &delta;<sup>15</sup>N and &delta;<sup>13</sup>C were 6.78 

&permil; and -25.41 &permil;. Moreover, the C/N ratio ranged from 0.49 to -18.23. The 

&delta;<sup>13</sup>C varied slightly with the increase of depth, while 

&delta;<sup>15</sup>N and C/N varied greatly. A source analysis in the study area 

indicated that C3 plants and chemical fertilizer were the main sources in the surface 

sediments (0-40 cm) downstream of the Maozhou River. Furthermore, algae were the main 

sources of organic matter in the deep sediments downstream of the Maozhou River and in 

tributary sediments of the Shajing River. Nitrogen in the surface sediments (0-40 cm) 

downstream of the Maozhou River mainly comes from inorganic fertilizer and soil organic 

nitrogen, while nitrogen in the Maozhou River deep sediments and Shajing River sediments 

mainly come from soil erosion and soil organic nitrogen.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:Nitrospira was enriched from activated sludge by using fed-batch cultivation, 

and its related kinetic characterization was studied. The results showed that Nitrospira 

could be successfully enriched from the activated sludge for a controlled nitrite 

concentration no higher than 2 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The maximum nitrate oxidation 

rate was 48.72 mg&middot;(g&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>. The fluorescence for the in situ 

hybridization results showed that Nitrospira accounted for about 75% of the total 

biomass, while Nitrobacter accounted for only 0.1%. In addition, the kinetic parameters 

of Nitrospira at 20&#8451; were also investigated. The results showed that the optimum 

growth temperature for Nitrospira was 30-35&#8451;. The temperature correction 

coefficient &tau;<inf>N</inf>was 1.046. The nitrite half-saturation constant 

K<inf>S</inf>and oxygen half-saturation constant K<inf>O</inf>were (0.32&plusmn;0.03)

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and (1.52&plusmn;0.09)mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively.

Abstract:Municipal wastewater effluent is increasingly used as reclaimed water and source 

water for downstream areas. Scholars are beginning to study the potential of dissolved 

organic nitrogen (DON) as a precursor to the formation of nitrogen disinfection by-

products (DBP). In order to explore the mechanism of pre-ozonation coupled with enhanced 

coagulation on DON in the secondary effluent, the distributions of molecular weight and 

hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of DON were analyzed. Disinfection by-product formation 

potential from chlorination was also investigated. Lastly, the composition and chemical 

structure of DON before and after coagulation were studied in combination with 3DEEM. Our 

results showed that pre-ozonation followed by coagulation with PACl significantly 

enhanced the removal of DON and mitigated DBP formation potentials. The following 

conclusions can be drawn from this study: &#9312; The tested effluent was very hard as 

indicated by total hardness and high calcium concentrations, and the pH had an important 

effect on pre-ozonation enhanced coagulation. As pH was decreased, the rates of DON, DOC 

and UV<inf>254</inf>removal increased. At pH 6.2, the rate of DON removal was maximal, 

and a 3.7 fold increase in removal-rate was achieved. &#9313; Calcium played a critical 

role in pre-ozonation enhanced coagulation. Zeta potentials and calcium concentrations 

were substantially affected at higher ozone doses. At ozone dosage of 8 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, Zeta potentials increased from -33 to -8 mV, and calcium 

concentrations decreased from 116 to 89 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. The ratio of calcium 

hardness to DOC was relatively high in this study, approaching 24 mg&middot;mg<sup>-

1</sup>( CaCO<inf>3</inf>/DOC). Thus, pre-ozonation promoted the removal of DON by 

coagulation. &#9314; Large molecular weight and hydrophobic DON were easier to remove by 

coagulation. Ozonation modified the DON characteristics to become more hydrophilic and 

smaller in molecular weight. Coagulation reduced overall DBP formation potentials to less 

than 20%. Pre-ozonation enhanced coagulation decreased overall DBP formation potentials 

by more than 45%. (4) Finally, the 3DEEM spectra indicated that the formation potentials 

and DON characteristics, due to disinfection, were related to three main peaks, which 

corresponded to tryptophan-based proteins, aromatic proteins, and fulvic acids.<br/>

Abstract:A modified cyclic activated sludge technology (CAST) reactor was utilized to 

investigate the phosphorus and nitrogen removal performance under different inducing 

patterns in this experiment. The results show that nitrite addition under anoxic 

conditions has a more inhibitory effect on the denitrifying phosphorus removal 

performance of the sludge. The phosphorus removal performance of the system was least 

effective when nitrite dosage was 5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Compared to an anoxic 

addition system, the CAST system is more stable under aerobic addition conditions. The 

phosphorus removal properties have a slight fluctuation during each initial operating 

condition when the nitrite concentrations are 5, 10 and 15 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

respectively. However, the phosphorus removal rate was observed to recover quickly and 

remain stable at more than 95% after acclimatizing for 10, 6, and 34 days, respectively. 

The effluent phosphorus concentration was less than 0.5 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>in all 

cases. It was also found that the phosphorus removal performance deteriorated drastically 

when the nitrite dosage was 20 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. Nevertheless, the nitrite type 

denitrifying phosphorus uptake capacity of the sludge was 10.4 times greater than that of 

the sludge before acclimatizing, suggesting that the phosphorus performance deterioration 

due to nitrite addition could be relieved and long-term addition is beneficial to 

enriching denitrifying phosphorus accumulating bacteria using NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>as an electron acceptor. Moreover, the sludge settling performance was found to be 

effective and the sludge concentration decreased continuously when adding a certain 

concentration of nitrite under aerobic conditions, which is of significant for sludge 

reduction.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The pollution and ecological risk characteristics of five typical antibiotics 

found in the surface water of the Liaohe River Basin (LRB) were analyzed and evaluated 

using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass 

spectrometry. These results showed that macrolides have the highest average concentration 

of all antibiotics in the surface water of the LRB of 201.88 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 

followed by quinolones, trimethoprim, and sulfonamides with average concentrations of 

113.40 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, 93.93 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, and 124.27 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Tetracycline demonstrated the lowest 

concentration at 24.37 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>. In addition, antibiotics pollution of 

the Daliao River is clearly identified as being higher than that of the Liaohe River, and 

the highest proportion of antibiotic pollution (49.1%) is found to come from human use 

according to a source apportionme0nt analysis. Relatively high levels of ecological risk 

are identified from Trimethoprim and Erythromycin-H<inf>2</inf>O concentrations, 

especially for cities such as Xinmin, Shenyang, and Anshan. The risk assessment indicates 

that surface water of the LRB faces high ecological risk and argues for greater attention 

to be paid to risk management and pollution controls.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press.

Abstract:The impacts of silicon (Si) on cadmium (Cd) bioavailability in soil and Cd 

accumulation in rice plants were investigated in pot experiments with rice (Oryza sativa 

L.) cultivation. Silicon fertilizer as the base manure (Si 0, 15, 30, and 60 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) was added in simulated slightly Cd-contaminated soil (total 

soil Cd of 0.72 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) and severe Cd-contaminated soil (total soil Cd 

of 5.08 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>). It indicated that the application of 15-60 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>Si before the rice was transplanted improved soil pH values and 

reduced the contents of exchangeable-Cd and TCLP extractable-Cd in the soil by 24.2%-

43.7% and 12.7%-46.8%, respectively, during the rice growing stages. The reduction in 

soil Cd bioavailability resulted from the complexing of Si and Cd, and the reduction 

followed the order: slightly Cd-contaminated soil&gt;severely Cd-contaminated soil. It 

was obvious that silicon fertilizer improved rice biomass above ground, especially for 

rice grain yield. In the slightly Cd-contaminated soil, Si both promoted and restrained 

soil Cd transportation from the rice root to the shoot; the low application (Si 15 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) and high application (Si 60 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>) of Si 

both promoted Cd transportation, but the medium application (Si 30 mg&middot;kg<sup>-

1</sup>) restrained Cd transportation. With increasing silicon fertilizer application, Cd 

contents in brown rice increased first and then decreased, ranging from 0.07-0.15 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>, remaining lower than 0.2 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. In the 

severely Cd-contaminated soil, Si restrained the soil Cd transportation from the rice 

root to the shoot. The Cd contents in brown rice, husk, and straw were reduced by 38.7%-

48.5%, 35.7%-70.7%, and 30.9%-40.7%, respectively, and Cd contents in brown rice were 

0.23-0.28 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>. Considering rice grain yields and Cd contents in 

brown rice, it was recommended that the Si application be 30 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>of 

Si in the slightly Cd-contaminated soil and Si 15-60 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>in the 

severely Cd-contaminated soil.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Water and benthic sediment samples were collected monthly from six sites over a 

2-km reach in a first-order stream located in the northeastern rural-urban fringe of 

Hefei City, from May 2016 to January 2017. These sites were scattered in three stream 

reach types as natural pattern sections (Scenario 1), point source pollution sections 

(Scenario 2), and severe soil erosion sections (Scenario 3). The potential rates of 

nitrification and denitrification in the sediments were measured and variable 

characteristics were evaluated quarterly. Moreover, a difference analysis of each of the 

three scenarios and an influencing factor analysis for nitrification and denitrification 

potentials were subsequently conducted. Our results show that: (1) the mean value of the 

nitration ratios for total sediment samples is 0.381%, of which the maximum nitration 

ratio emerged in Scenario 2. As for Scenario 1, the nitration ratio in summer is the 

larger than in winter. The nitration ratios for Scenarios 2 and 3 rank from largest to 

smallest as spring&gt;summer&gt;autumn&gt;winter. (2) The mean value of the nitrification 

rate of the total sediment samples is 0.364 mg&middot;(kg&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, of 

which the maximum nitrification rate is associated with in Scenario 2. The nitrification 

rate is highest in winter, while similar for all other seasons in Scenarios 2 and 3. 

There is not much difference all year round for Scenario 1. (3) Average values for the 

denitrification ratio and denitrification rate for all sediment samples are 37.25% and 

57.68 mg&middot;(kg&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Both of these are higher for 

Scenario 2 than the other two scenarios for the same season. The ranking for 

denitrification for Scenarios 1 and 2 is summer&gt;spring&gt;autumn&gt;winter, and 

spring&gt;summer&gt;autumn&gt;winter in Scenario 3. (4) According to the difference 

analysis, significant differences not only exist between the nitrification rates between 

Scenarios 1 and 2 but also for the denitrification ratios and denitrification rates 

between Scenarios 1 and 3. In addition, there is an obvious difference in the nitration 

ratio between Scenarios 2 and 3. (5) Partial least-squares regressive analysis indicates 

that there is significant difference between the important influencing factors related to 

the nitration ratio and nitrification rate for each of the three scenarios.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:An anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was used to study substrate 

inhibition and kinetic characteristics of marine anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria 

(MAAOB) treating saline wastewater. The results indicated that when ammonia increased to 

1 200 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the MAAOB still maintained good nitrogen removal 

capability, though there was a slight inhibitory effect. At the same time, nitrite 

nitrogen removal efficiency was stable at about 80.70%. When nitrite increased to 265.6 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the MAAOB were inhibited obviously, and ammonia nitrogen 

removal efficiency decreased to about 63.01%. When influent nitrite concentration 

increased to 305.6 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen further 

decreased to 43.93%. The kinetic characteristics resulting from inhibition of the MAAOB 

were simulated by the Haldane model and Aiba model. Three parameters, TNRR<inf>max</inf>, 

K<inf>S</inf>, and K<inf>i</inf>, and the relationship between effluent substrate 

concentration and total nitrogen loading (TNRR) were evaluated. Based on further 

analysis, the Haldane model was more suitable for describing dynamic characteristics 

resulting from NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N inhibition, while the Aiba model was more 

suitable for describing the dynamic characteristics resulting from NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-

</sup>-N inhibition. The predicted effluent inhibitory concentrations of 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N were 3 893.625 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 287.208 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The results 

could provide a theoretical basis for saline wastewater treatment by MAAOB.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:The degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in a base activated peroxymonosulfate 

(PMS) system was investigated. Results showed that a base activated PMS system can 

efficiently remove CIP. Singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<inf>2</inf>) and superoxide anion 

radical (O<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>&middot;) were confirmed to be the major reactive 

oxygen species through radical quenching experiments. The NaOH concentration, PMS 

concentration, reactive temperature, and coexisting anions also affected CIP removal. 

Both NaOH and PMS concentration presented a dual effect, which was highly concentration 

dependent. An improvement in reactive temperature accelerated CIP degradation, and the 

calculated activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>) was determined to be 5.09 

kJ&middot;mol<sup>-1</sup>through the fitting of the Arrhenius equation. Different anions 

had different effects on CIP degradation. No obvious change in CIP concentration was 

observed when Cl<sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, and NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-

</sup>were introduced. H<inf>2</inf>PO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>inhibited the degradation, 

but CO<inf>3</inf><sup>2-</sup>significantly promoted it. Ten oxidation products were 

identified through UPLC-MS/MS analysis, and the piperazine ring in the molecular 

structure of CIP was preferentially attacked by reactive oxygen species in the base 

activated PMS system.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In order to obtain the distribution of different species of mercury (Hg) in the 

water in the Sanmenxia Reservoir, cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS) and 

aqueous phase ethylation derivatization-gas chromatography-atomic fluorescence 

spectrometry (GC-CVAFS) methods were used for the analysis of total Hg (THg) and 

methylmercury (MeHg) in water and sediment samples, respectively. It was found that the 

levels of THg, dissolved mercury, and particulate mercury in the water ranged from 1.65-

9.65, 0.80-3.16, and 0.70-7.81 ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The THg in the 

water could meet the requirement for the Class I criterion in the national surface water 

environmental quality standard (GB 3838-2002). The amounts of MeHg, dissolved MeHg, and 

particulate MeHg in the water samples were 0.05-0.36, 0.02-0.14, and ND-0.26 

ng&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. No evident seasonal or spatial patterns for Hg 

were observed. The THg and MeHg in the Sanmenxia Reservoir were within the ranges for 

those in uncontaminated waterbodies worldwide. The amount of THg in the sediments was 

(92.96&plusmn;10.65) ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and (80.06&plusmn;19.14) ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>, while the amount of MeHg in the corresponding sediment samples was 

(0.33&plusmn;0.14) ng&middot;g<sup>-1</sup>and (0.50&plusmn;0.19) ng&middot;g<sup>-

1</sup>for wet and dry seasons, respectively. The ratios of MeHg/THg in the sediment of 

the Sanmenxia Reservoir were relatively small in comparison to those in other aqueous 

systems, indicating that methylation might play a minor role in the biogeochemistry of Hg 

in the Sanmenxia Reservoir. This might be attributed to the high dissolved oxygen levels 

of the bottom water and low organic carbon content of the sediments.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:In this paper, the long-term effects of temperature on the nitrogen removal 

performance and the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) in a sequencing batch reactor 

(SBR) treating synthetic wastewater was investigated under three temperature conditions 

(15&#8451;, 25&#8451;, 35&#8451;). The results showed that high temperatures (35&#8451;) 

could promote the establishment of short-cut nitrification processes and improve nitrogen 

removal performance greatly. Temperature had a significant impact on the EPS and its 

composition. With an increased temperature, the EPS and tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) 

content decreased, while, loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS) increased slowly. TB-EPS became 

dominant in the EPS (the percentage of TB-EPS/EPS was 69.0%-79.5%), however, the ratio of 

TB-EPS/LB-EPS decreased from 3.8 (15&#8451;) to 3.6 (25&#8451;), and then to 2.2 

(35&#8451;) with a gradual increase in temperature. Moreover, protein (PN) and DNA in the 

EPS, TB-EPS, and LB-EPS decreased with an increasing temperature. Carbohydrates (PS) in 

the EPS and LB-EPS increased as temperature increased, nevertheless, PS in TB-EPS 

decreased. Furthermore, 25&#8451; was identified as the breaking-point temperature in the 

variation of PN, DNA and PS concentrations. At 15&#8451; and 25&#8451;, PN was the main 

component in TB-EPS and LB-EPS. PS has the second highest concentration and DNA the 

least. However, PS were the dominant component at 35&#8451;, with PN having the second 

highest concentration, and DNA having a subtle concentration. Moreover, at 15&#8451; and 

25&#8451;, the EPS content increased in the nitrification process and reduced in the 

denitrification process.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The CANON process has the disadvantages of long start-up periods and unstable 

operation. In the SBAF system, under strictly controlled conditions of dissolved oxygen 

(DO) and temperature, a CANON process is started up in 51 days and is operated stably for 

278 days using a new method of independent research and development. The results show 

that the maximum and average ARR are 98.9% and 95.1%, respectively. The maximum and 

average TNR are 85.9% and 75.1%, respectively. Furthermore, a small quantity of 

nitratenitrogen exists in this system. The microbial structure features of the sludge are 

analyzed by 16S rDNA macro high-throughput genome sequencing. It is verified that 

Proteobacteria is the main microorganism in the AOB, and Planctomycete Candidatus 

Brocadia is the main microorganism in the AnAOB. Both of them collaborate on total 

nitrogen removal in the CANON process.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Fluorotelomer alcohol (6:2 FTOH) is a polyfluoalkyl substance that has been 

widely used in industry and consumer products in recent years, causing potential harm to 

the environment. However, currently the impact of 6:2 FTOH and its degradation products 

on microbial communities in sediment is unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore 

the impact of the biodegradation of 6:2 FTOH on bacterial community structures in surface 

sediment based on gene analysis. Surface sediment and river water were collected from Hai 

river, Tianjin, and a microcosm experiment was performed in the laboratory. The 

concentration of 6:2 FTOH and its degradation products were analyzed by liquid 

chromatograph-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The bacterial community 

structure was analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and high-throughput 

sequencing. The results showed that 6:2 FTOH could be degraded by microorganisms (half-

life was less than 3 d), producing transient products such as 6:2 fluorotelomer 

carboxylic acid (FTCA) and 6:2 fluorotelomer unsaturated carboxylic acid (FTUCA) and 

stable products such as 5:2 fluorotelomer (FT) ketone, 5:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (sFTOH), 

perfluorohexanoic acid(PFHxA), perfluoro-n-pentanoic acid (PFPeA), perfluorobutanoic acid 

(PFBA) and 5:3 polyfluorinated acid. At different stages of 6:2 FTOH degradation, a 

change of bacteria and the predominant population became somewhat different. Based on the 

experimental results for 100 d, at the Phylum level, the biodegradation of 6:2 FTOH 

greatly increases the abundance of Chloroflexi (+24.8%) and decreases the abundance of 

Proteobacteria (-17.8%) and Firmicutes (-15.9%). At the Class level, due to the 

biodegradation of 6:2 FTOH, bacteria with notable increases included Anaerolineae 

(+19.6%) and &delta;-Proteobacteria (+4.3%), while bacteria with notable decreases 

included &Epsilon;-Proteobacteria (-20.0%), Clostridia (-10.1%), Bacilli (-5.8%) and 

&gamma;-Proteobacteria (-4.2%). At the Genus level, due to the biodegradation of 6:2 

FTOH, bacteria with notable increases included Anaerolineaceae_(uncultured) (+19.1%) and 

Thioalkalispira (+13.3%), while bacteria with notable decreases included Vibrio (-14.1%), 

Sulfurimonas (-13.2%), Bacillus (-5.1%), Sulfurovum (-4.2%) and Fusibacter (-4.1%). These 

results are helpful for predicting the response of bacteria to the contamination of 

polyfluoalkyl substances and isolating the bacteria capable of the biodegradation of 

polyfluoalkyl substances.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Water samples were collected from the Yellow and Bohai seas during November 2013 

and the chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and nutrients concentrations were 

investigated, including their composition, source and distribution characteristics. CDOM 

was analyzed by excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) in combination with a 

parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Three terrestrial humic-like substances (C1, C2, and 

C3) and one protein-like (C4) substances were identified. The three terrestrial humic-

like components had a similar horizontal distribution, decreasing from inshore to 

offshore. The protein-like component, showed higher values for both inshore and offshore 

areas in the Yellow Sea at the surface layer and the middle layer of the Bohai Sea, while 

in other layers it had a similar distribution pattern as the terrestrial humic-like 

components. In the Bohai Sea, the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentration showed 

a decreasing trend from inshore to offshore areas and the concentration of dissolved 

inorganic phosphorus (DIP) gradually decreased from the Caofeidian coastal and central 

areas to other adjacent areas. The dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) showed an increasing 

from inshore to the central area of the Bohai Sea. DIN and DON were higher in surface 

layer than in the bottom layer and for DIP this was the opposite in the Bohai Sea. In the 

Yellow Sea, DON concentrations showed a decreasing trend from inshore to offshore areas. 

DIN and DIP had higher concentrations at inshore areas in the surface and middle layers, 

while in the bottom layer they had higher concentrations in offshore areas. The vertical 

distribution of the DIN and DIP showed higher values in the bottom layer than surface 

layers and for DON this was the opposite. These results also showed that the 

concentrations of DIN, DON, and DIP in the Bohai sea were overall higher than the Yellow 

Sea. A discriminant analysis was performed through redundancy analysis (RAD) of these 

water quality parameters, including the four fluorescent components, an absorption 

coefficient (a<inf>355</inf>), chlorophyll a concentration, conductivity, dissolved 

oxygen (DO), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), DIN, DON, and DIP. The RDA indicated that 

the four fluorescent components are mainly affected by terrestrial inputs. DOC was 

affected by both terrestrial and marine sources but terrestrial inputs were the major 

contributor. It was also indicated that the DIN concentration was affected by terrestrial 

inputs in the Bohai Sea area and by both terrestrial and marine sources in the Yellow 

Sea. DON concentrations were mainly affected by marine sources in the Bohai Sea and 

terrestrial inputs in the Yellow Sea. DIP concentrations were affected by both 

terrestrial and marine sources in the studied areas.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All

Abstract:Nitrogen removal by a newly discovered Pseudomons sp. strain, DK1, isolated from 

activated sludge was investigated. Using glucose as a carbon source and a n(C)/n(N) ratio 

of five, batch experiments showed that the aerobic denitrification removal rate was 4.09 

mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>and 4.43 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-1</sup>with 

NaNO<inf>3</inf>or NaNO<inf>2</inf>, respectively. Completely nitrogen removal was 

achieved when using these two nitrogen sources. DK1 was also found to heterotrophically 

remove NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>-N at a rate of 2.32 mg&middot;(L&middot;h)<sup>-

1</sup>and to carry out anoxic denitrification of a range of concentrations of 

NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N (from about 100 to 300 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) within a 

maximum of 36 hours of inoculation. In the presence of both NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N 

and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N, DK1 was found to preferentially denitrify 

NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) 

capacity of the DK1 strain was observed when using ammonium and nitrate or ammonium and 

nitrite and the corresponding nitrogen removal rates reached as high as 95.06% and 94.69% 

within 30 hours of inoculation, respectively. Ammonium with both nitrate and nitrite 

resulted in a 100% nitrogen removal within the same time frame. The ability to achieve 

SND and to denitrify both NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>-N and NO<inf>2</inf><sup>-</sup>-N 

makes the DK1 strain potentially useful for future application in nitrogenous wastewater 

treatment.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A modified cyclic activated sludge technology (CAST) treating domestic 

wastewater was employed to investigate the effects of different operating modes, such as 

C/P ratio, reflux ratio, and temperature on phosphorus removal. The results illustrated 

that at room temperature the phosphorus removal of the system improved significantly when 

the influent C/P ratio increased from 50 to 100, with the removal efficiency increasing 

rapidly from 15% to 95.6%. Decreasing the C/P ratio to 75, the phosphorus removal 

performance declined due to influent carbon source deficiency, and the mean phosphorous 

removal efficiency decreased to 51.4%. At the same time, the long-term addition of an 

easily degradable carbon source resulted in sludge bulking and a large amount of sludge 

loss. With a low C/P ratio, the phosphorus removal performance increased by 2.3 times 

when the sludge reflux ratio decreased from 25% to 12.5%. However, the phosphorus removal 

performance declined when reducing it to 0. The temperature experiment results showed 

that the phosphorous removal efficiency of the system remained stable, above 90%, in the 

low temperature system (14&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451;). However, the phosphorous removal 

efficiency of a shortcut nitrification system at high temperature 

(27&#8451;&plusmn;1&#8451;) was only 14.1%, suggesting that a low temperature was 

beneficial for removing phosphorous. It was observed from the batch tests that the sludge 

at room temperature could utilize dissolved oxygen, nitrate, and nitrite as electron 

acceptors to take up phosphate. The sludge in the low temperature system could use both 

dissolved oxygen and nitrate as the electron acceptors. However, the sludge in the high 

temperature system could only use dissolved oxygen as the electron acceptors to take up 

phosphate. In addition, it was also found that sludge under starvation conditions 

resulting from short-term idling of the system favored phosphorus removal.<br/> &copy;

Abstract:An analysis of the effect of ENSO events with different strengths on the 

isotopic composition of precipitation is conducted based on test data for 206 

precipitation samples collected from January 2012 to February 2017 in Shanghai coupled 

with the archives for Nanjing, Wuhan, Fuzhou, and Hong Kong from 1961 to 2012 from the 

Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database. During the research periods, 

the &delta;D and &delta;<sup>18</sup>O values in precipitation are lower in summer and 

autumn but higher in winter and spring. The slope and intercept of the atmospheric 

precipitation lines during El Ni&ntilde;o events are larger than during other times, 

while anti-temperature, precipitation amount, and vapor pressure effects are more 

significant than during La Ni&ntilde;a events. The &delta;<sup>18</sup>O and deuterium 

excess values (value of d) of rainfall in Shanghai during El Ni&ntilde;o and La 

Ni&ntilde;a events of varied strengths have an obvious negative correlation with the 

oceanic Ni&ntilde;o index (ONI), sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), and the extreme 

and cumulative values of ONI. Moreover, ENSO events are closely intertwined with the 

correlation between &delta;<sup>18</sup>O isotopic value in precipitation, ONI, and 

SSTA.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Based on the collected data of activity level in 2015, a non-road mobile source 

emissions inventory for Tianjin was developed following the recommended method from the 

Compilation Guide for a Vehicle Emissions Inventory (trial edition) released by the 

Ministry of Environmental Protection. In 2015, the emissions of CO, hydrocarbons (HC), 

nitrogen oxides (NO<inf>x</inf>), particulate matter (PM) and SO<inf>2</inf>from non-road 

mobile sources in Tianjin were 6.15&times;10<sup>3</sup>t, 2.45&times;10<sup>3</sup>t, 

2.90&times;10<sup>4</sup>t, 1.45&times;10<sup>3</sup>t, and 1.37&times;10<sup>4</sup>t, 

respectively. Marine sources were identified as the largest non-road mobile source 

contributor accounting for 73.66% of total emissions, followed by non-road mobile 

machinery (21.66%). Emissions from civil aircraft and locomotives were relatively lower. 

Generally, emissions from non-road mobile sources increase from March (spring) to 

November and decrease from the beginning and the end of the year (winter). Emissions are 

mainly distributed in suburban districts where there is flourishing agriculture, downtown 

areas with dense populations, urban construction areas, ports, railway lines, and 

airports. Uncertainty in the inventory results is mainly due to the lack of key data, 

such as local emission factors and actual activity levels.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science

Abstract:The experiment explored the effect of different seeding sludge on the rapid 

start-up of an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reactor by seeding a single type of 

denitrified granular sludge and a mixed sludge composed of denitrified granular sludge 

and aerobic nitrification sludge (the volume ratio of the mixed sludge was 2:1) in two 

sequencing batch reactors (SBR), R0 and R1, respectively. The results indicated that R0 

was started up successfully on day 64 with a nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.26 

kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, while R1 was started up by day 47 with a 

NRR of 0.30 kg&middot;(m<sup>3</sup>&middot;d)<sup>-1</sup>, which was shorter than R0 by 

17 d. In the enrichment stage, reddish sludge appeared in R1, and the characteristics of 

anaerobic ammonium oxidation of the system were more obvious than in R0. After the 

reactor was started up successfully, the stoichiometric ratio of R0 was 1.20 and 0.34, 

respectively, and the stoichiometric ratio of R1 was 1.26 and 0.21, which was closer to 

the theoretical values of 1.32 and 0.26. The mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and 

mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) of R0 were restored to 51% (4.2 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and 38% (2.3 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>)of the initial seeding 

sludge, respectively, while the MLSS and MLVSS of R1 were restored to 54% (4.4 

g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>) and 42% (2.6 g&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>), which was higher than R0. 

It can be speculated that the proliferation rate of AnAOB in R1 was faster than in R0. 

Seeding mixed sludge can accelerate the start-up process of anaerobic ammonium oxidation 

with more stable N-removal performance.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right

Abstract:Aeolian sandy soil was collected at depths of 0 to 100 cm at intervals of 0-10, 

&gt;10-20, &gt;20-30, &gt;30-40, &gt;40-60, &gt;60-80, and &gt;80-100 cm from under the 

cover of psammophilous shrubs Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Hedysarum scoparium, Oxytropis 

aciphylla, Nitraria tangutorum and Haloxylon ammodendron and from a mobile dune in the 

Ulan Buh Desert. Multi-fractal theory was used to determine the soil particle size 

distribution (PSD), which measured the fractions of &omega;(Mn), &omega;(Zn), &omega;

(Cr), &omega;(Cu), &omega;(Pb), &omega;(Ni), &omega;(As), and &omega;(Cd), as well as 

their distribution status in the laboratory and analyzed correlations between the PSD and 

heavy metal content to identify the relationship between soil structure and heavy metal 

pollution. This result shows that a range of different types of shrubs can increase the 

distribution of fine soil particles, and specifically Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and 

Hedysarum scoparium can increase range, heterogeneity and degree of dispersion of the 

PSD. The heavy metal content in the soil under the different shrubs is ranked as &omega;

(Mn)&gt;&omega;(Zn)&gt;&omega;(Cr)&gt;&omega;(Cu)&gt;&omega;(Pb)&gt;&omega;(Ni)

&gt;&omega;(As)&gt;&omega;(Cd). In the first 10 cm of the soil under the shrubs, the 

concentration of all heavy metals are higher than samples from the mobile dune except for 

Cr and Cu. Average value of &omega;(Mn) and &omega;(Cd) is 354.899 and 1.429 

mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>under Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and Hedysarum scoparium 

respectively. Concentrations of Mn and Cd under Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and Hedysarum 

scoparium shrubs are significantly higher than those of mobile dune (P&lt;0.05), and the 

concentration of both is significantly various between each soil layers (P&lt;0.05). The 

highest value for &omega;(Mn) is in soil layer between 30 and 40 cm below the surface and 

the highest for &omega;(Cd) appears between 10 and 20 cm below the surface. The average 

&omega;(Pb) under Hedysarum scoparium is 13.556 mg&middot;kg<sup>-1</sup>which is the 

highest among all the shrubs, exceeding 3.24% under Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and higher 

than samples from mobile dune. However, average &omega;(As) under Hedysarum scoparium is 

exceeded 0.37% under Ammopiptanthus mongolicus but still higher than samples from mobile 

dune. The grain size of &phi;(silt) and &phi;(medium coarse sand) are determining factors 

for heavy metal concentrations in fine and coarse particles of aeolian sandy soil. Heavy 

metal measurements all positively correlate with &phi;(silt) and &phi;(clay), however, 

they negatively correlate with &phi;(medium coarse sand), except for &omega;(Cr). The 

correlation coefficients between heavy metal contents and the multifractal parameters are 

similar for &phi;(clay), &phi;(silt), and &phi;(medium coarse sand). Therefore, 

multifractal parameters can describe the correlation between heavy metals and their 

determinant soil grain size. This study shows that, Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and 

Hedysarum scoparium can entrap and deposit fine particles from the sand flow to surface 

soil layers around shrubs and improve the condition of PSDs for different soil layers 

with respect to heavy metals. Hence, in aeolian sandy soil these concentrations are 

higher than for mobile dunes after planting Ammopiptanthus mongolicus and Hedysarum 

scoparium. Therefore both should be used to promote good soil structure of particular 

areas to entrap and in-situ control heavy metals to decrease heavy metal pollution in 

downwind cities.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are redox-sensitive elements that are both 

important chemical indicators of water quality. To study their vertical distribution 

characteristics in south-subtropical reservoirs during summer, Fe and Mn concentrations 

in the water column, as well as the physical and chemical conditions of the water, were 

investigated in the lacustrine zones of nine reservoirs in the eastern of Guangdong 

Province, in July 2016. These results showed that Fe and Mn exhibited a strong 

concentration gradient in deep reservoirs due to thermal stratification. The total Fe 

(TFe), total Mn (TMn), dissolved Fe (DFe), and dissolved Mn (DMn) concentrations in the 

surface water are significantly lower than in these in bottom zones (TFe, F=6.708, 

P=0.032; TMn, F=9.720, P=0.014; DFe, F=8.129, P=0.029; DMn, F=11.125, P=0.016). The 

average concentrations of TFe and TMn are 0.399 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 0.422 

mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively at the bottom five of the deep reservoirs, and the 

dissolved ions accounted for more than 70% of this concentration. In shallow reservoirs 

without thermal stratification, TFe, TMn, DFe and DMn concentrations in surface water are 

lower than those measured at bottom of the reservoir, no significant difference was 

detected (TFe, F=0.135, P=0.726; TMn, F=0, P=1; DFe, F=0.006, P=0.943; DMn, F=0.007, 

P=0.936). The average concentrations of TFe and TMn are 0.110 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>and 

0.089 mg&middot;L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively at the bottom of the four shallow 

reservoirs, and they were present predominantly in particulate form. The concentrations 

of TFe and DFe correlated significantly (P&lt;0.05) with the dissolved oxygen (DO) 

concentration, pH and depth, but did not significantly correlate with TN or TP 

concentration in the deep reservoirs. The gradient distributions of DO and pH levels is 

critical to the gradient distribution of Fe and Mn in deep reservoirs because of water 

stratification. Low DO concentrations and acidic conditions in these areas contributed to 

the release of Fe and Mn from sediment and result in high dissociation of these elements 

in the bottom of deep reservoirs. Simultaneously, high concentrations of Fe and Mn at the 

bottom of reservoirs may also attribute to the characteristic red soil of this region. 

The results from this study imply that the high concentrations of Fe and Mn common in the 

bottom of deep reservoirs is associated with the stable stratification of these 

reservoirs in the summer. The concentrations of Fe and Mn may be exceed water standards 

when deep water is taken for public water provision. The problem may be avoided with 

surface water supplying.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A typical forest stand on the subtropical Jinyun Mountain in China was selected 

to investigate water quality and interception characteristics for several important ions 

at different levels in the subtropical forest ecosystem. Based on field and laboratory 

experiments, the effect of precipitation, throughfall, litterfall, and soil percolation 

on water quality and ionic interception were investigated from September 2013 to August 

2014. Results indicated that the rainfall on Jinyun Mountain was obviously acidic, with 

an average pH of 4.75. The soil and canopy can elevate the pH of rainfall, while the soil 

had a greater capability for adjusting pH than did the forest canopy. In addition, the 

concentrations of NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3-</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, and K<sup>+</sup>in the 

litterfall increased with litterfall tissue disintegration, while the other ions 

decreased. Moreover, functional groups and colloids in the soil can bind or neutralize 

many ions, such as NO<inf>3</inf><sup>-</sup>, SO<inf>4</inf><sup>2-</sup>, 

NH<inf>4</inf><sup>+</sup>, PO<inf>4</inf><sup>3-</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, and 

Mg<sup>2+</sup>. However, some ions were released from the soil by erosion from acid rain 

over a long time. Generally, the forest ecosystem is a sink for ions found in 

precipitation with diverse functions for different layers, and the forest canopy has the 

highest interception capacity for the ions found in precipitation.<br/> &copy; 2017,

Abstract:Slope position is a key factor used in the restoration of vegetation in degraded 

karst ecosystems, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an important role in 

improving this plant growth. However, little information is available regarding the 

effects of slope position on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. To test whether these fungal 

communities are impacted by slope position, the abundance, and composition of soil, AMF 

communities along the slope position were analyzed through terminal restriction fragment 

length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase 

chain reaction (real-time PCR). The diversity, richness, and evenness of plant species 

were evaluated through field surveys and soil properties were also measured. The results 

show that content of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the soil are different along the 

slope, and the trends identified were that the upper slope position&asymp;middle slope 

position&gt;lower slope position. The trend for AMF abundance was identified as upper 

slope position &asymp; middle slope position&lt;lower slope position. The available 

phosphorus content in the soil correlated significantly with the AMF abundance. A 

redundancy analysis showed that the structure of soil, AMF, and plant community 

compositions differed along the slope. The plant evenness index was shown to 

significantly contribute to the distribution of the AMF community structure, while the 

total nitrogen and total organic carbon content of the soil had a significant effect on 

the plant community structure. These results indicate that the interaction effects of 

soil nutrients and plant community structures on the soil AMF community structures 

suggest micro-morphology should be taken into account when AMF is used to restore 

vegetation in karst regions.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:A nitrifying sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and continuous stirred-tank reactor 

(CSTR) were operated at 15&#8451; under the same conditions to investigate the effect of 

two typical flow patterns (plug flow and complete mixing) on the efficiency of 

nitrification enhancement. The results show that, during bioaugmentation, the ammonia 

utilized rate(AUR)and nitrite utilized rate(NUR)in the SBR were 2.34 and 2.39 times of 

that before bioaugmentation, and after bioaugmentation ceased, the AUR and NUR slightly 

decreased to 2.01 and 1.78 times of that before bioaugmentation. Meanwhile, the AUR and 

NUR in the CSTR were 2.63 and 2.44 times that before bioaugmentation, and after 

bioaugmentation ceased, the AUR and NUR decreased to 1.48 and 1.31 times that before 

bioaugmentation. Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) results showed that during 

bioaugmentation, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria 

(NOB) in the SBR were 2.67 and 2.71 times of that before bioaugmentation, and after 

bioaugmentation ceased, the AUR and NUR slightly decreased to 2.14 and 1.95 times that 

before bioaugmentation. Meanwhile, the AUR and NUR in the CSTR were 2.91 and 1.77 times 

of that before bioaugmentation, and after bioaugmentation ceased, the AUR and NUR 

decreased to 1.25 and 1.50 times of that before bioaugmentation. Therefore, the 

efficiency of nitrification enhancement was similar between the two types of flow 

patterns during bioaugmentation, but the seeded nitrifiers were much more vulnerable to 

wash out in the CSTR than that in the SBR due to r/K selectivity of the flow 

patterns.<br/> &copy; 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.
