[Effects of Organic Loading Rate on Startup Performance of Anaerobic Digestion with Vinegar Residues].

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:①Lower 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.

[Effects of Free Ammonia Regulation on the Performance of High Solid Anaerobic Digesters with Dewatered Sludge].

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±174) mg·L to (526±25) mg·L with the increase of TAN, the daily biogas yield declined from (11.

[Development of Determination Method of Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics in Sludge Based on Solid Phase Extraction and HPLC-Fluorescence Detection Analysis].

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs), as the common pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), are widespread in the environment. FQs contained in wastewater would be ultimately enriched in sludge, posing a potential threat to the consequent sludge utilization. To optimize the analytical method applicable to the determination of FQs in sludge, the authors selected ofloxacin (OFL), norfioxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and lomefloxacin (LOM) as the target FQs, and established a method which was based on cell lysis, FQs extraction with triethylamine/methanol/water solution, Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and HPLC-Fluorescence Detection (FLD) determination.

Small GTPase Sar1 is crucial for proglutelin and α-globulin export from the endoplasmic reticulum in rice endosperm.

Rice seed storage proteins glutelin and α-globulin are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and deposited in protein storage vacuoles (PSVs). Sar1, a small GTPase, acts as a molecular switch to regulate the assembly of coat protein complex II, which exports secretory protein from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. To reveal the route by which glutelin and α-globulin exit the ER, four putative Sar1 genes (OsSar1a/b/c/d) were cloned from rice, and transgenic rice were generated with Sar1 overexpressed or suppressed by RNA interference (RNAi) specifically in the endosperm under the control of the rice glutelin promoter.

[High-solids anaerobic co-digestion of sludge and kitchen garbage under mesophilic conditions].

At solid retention time (SRT) of 20 days, biogas production, volatile solid (VS) degradation and system stability in co-digestion systems of dewatered sludge (DS) and kitchen garbage (KG) were investigated in semi-continuous completely mixed reactors numbered R1-R5 (the DS/KG of their feeding substrate based on wet mass was 1:0, 4:1, 3:2, 2:3 and 0:1, respectively). The results showed that, with larger proportion of KG in feeding substrate, higher methane yield and biogas yield were obtained with lower methane content. For certain reactor at given SRT, KG addition could significantly improve the organic loading rate (OLR) and volume biogas production.
