Preparation and identification of an antioxidant peptide from wheat embryo albumin and characterization of its Maillard reaction products.

Wheat embryo albumin (WEA) extracted from wheat embryo possesses multiple effects including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunoregulatory effects. In this study, a single factor experiment was conducted to determine the optimal enzymolysis conditions of WEA. Five components (F1-F5) were obtained via ultrafiltration, among which F3 (molecular weight 3-5 kDa) displayed the best antioxidant activity.

Kinetics and removal formula of methyl mercaptan by ethanol absorption without neglecting solute accumulation.

The wet scrubbing process is commonly adopted for organic odor treatment. In this study, methyl mercaptan (CHSH) was selected as a representative hydrophobic organic odorant which was treated using an ethanol solution in a scrubbing tower. Results showed that the ethanol solution can retain the ideal CHSH removal effect for 2.

[Influencing Factors for Phosphorus Removal by Modified Bio-ceramic Substrates Coated with ZnAl-LDHs Synthesized by Different Modification Conditions].

Under different pH conditions, the hydrothermal and co-precipitation method was used to synthesize layered double hydroxides (LDHs) coated on bio-ceramic substrates with three different Zn/Al molar ratios. Applying the original and six kinds of modified bio-ceramic substrates coated with ZnAl-LDHs (bio-ceramic/ZnAl-LDHs) in simulated vertical-flow constructed wetlands, experiments for phosphorus removal and isothermal adsorption were conducted to analyze the mechanism and effect of each synthesis factor. The results showed that ZnAl-LDHs (pH=11) had a more obvious effect on phosphorus removal, especially for bio-ceramic/ZnAl-LDHs (pH=11, 1:1), whose average removal rates of TP, TDP and SRP were enhanced over 70%.

[Effects of NO-N Loading on the Early-Period Efficiency of Denitrification and Carbon Releasing in Constructed Wetland Filled with Bark].

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-N loading on denitrification and carbon releasing. In the constructed wetland, bark was used as filler and carbon source for nitrogen removal.

[Control strategies of nitrogen removal process in a pilot test of the southern WWTP based on the nitrogen balance].

By building the mass balance of nitrogen in A2/O process, the nitrogen model which raised some strategies on how to control sludge return ratio and mixed liquid return ratio to make the effluent nitrogen achieve the national standard A under different influent total nitrogen (TN) , was set up. And the presumed parameters were verified by the pilot test of the Wuhan's Longwangzui WWTP. The result showed that when the temperature and the TN were over 15 degrees C and below 30 mg x L(-1) respectively, the mixed liquid return ratio was 0.

[Characteristics of nitrification and denitrification for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal by granular sludge].

In the alternating anaerobic/aerobic SBR reactor,the nitrification and denitrification characteristics of simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal by granular sludge were studied. The results of batch experiments indicated that the maximal nitrification rate, denitrification rate, anoxic phosphorus uptake and denitrification rate were 14.13 mg x (g x h))-1), 34.

[Preliminary study on denitrification capacity of constructed wetlands filled by bark].

Constructed wetlands have been widely used for the treatment of outlets of municipal wastewater treatment plants, treatment of agricultural pollution etc, adequate carbon is a very good source for denitrification and it is very crucial for improving the removal rate of nitrate nitrogen in constructed wetlands. An attempt has been made to workout for the nitrate removal by the integrated vertical constructed wetland, the bark was used for carbon source, the results shows the denitrifying bacteria in the constructed wetlands can utilize the carbon source very well, produced by bark to remove nitrate nitrogen. The efficiency of denitrification increases with the increase of the hydraulic loading and the influent nitrate loading,but the rate of the nitrate nitrogen removal decreases.

[Formation of the phosphorus removal granular sludge and phosphorus removal characteristics of the anaerobic/oxic and anaerobic/anoxic/oxic granular sludge process in SBR].

Phosphorous removal & denitrifying phosphate uptake of the granular sludge was investigated in this study. Inoculated with flocculation sludge, the granulation of the biological phosphorous removal sludge was realized in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with sodium acetate by means of hydraulic selection under an anaerobic/oxic alternating operation (referred to as an A/O). Then the biological phosphorous removal granular sludge was induced into the denitrifying phosphate uptake granular sludge under an anaerobic/anoxic/oxic alternating operation (referred to as an A/A/O).

[The clinical features and prognosis of Aeromonas septicaemia in hepatic cirrhosis: a report of 50 cases].

Objective: Aeromonas septicaemia complicating cirrhosis is not a common infectious disease. To enhance the knowledge in this aspect, we analysed the clinical features, pathogenetic factors, resistance, treatment and prognosis of Aeromonas septicaemia in 50 cases of hepatic cirrhosis.

Methods: We cultured the bacteria from infected patients with BacT/Alert120 automation instrument made in AKsu and identified the bacteria with the Vitek-AMS60 made in Biomerieux company.
