[Pollution Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Atmospheric VOCs During Ozone Pollution Period in the Main Urban Area of Chongqing].

In late August 2020, a period of O pollution occurred in the main urban area of Chongqing and lasted for approximately 2 weeks (till early September). Ambient air samples, collected using Summa Canisters and DNPH sampling columns at three observation sites in the main urban area, were used to study the composition, photochemical reaction activity, and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the period of O pollution. The results showed that the mean volume fraction of TVOCs in the main urban area of Chongqing during the observation period was 45.

[Effects of Organic Substrates on ANAMMOX-MFC Denitrification Electrogenesis Performance].

An anaerobic ammonium oxidation microbial fuel cell (ANAMMOX-MFC) was successfully started by inoculating anaerobic ammonium oxide sludge into the anode of a microbial fuel cell and then used to study the effect of glucose and phenol on ANAMMOX-MFC denitrification electrogenesis performance. The results showed that the ANAMMOX bacteria promoted ANAMMOX-MFC denitrification when the concentration of glucose was low (100-200 mg·L). At that time, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of the reactor was not significant.

[Characteristics of Nitrobacteria in SBR with Trace NH Addition].

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was conducted to perform nitrification process. The influence of long-term trace hydrazine (NH) addition (about 3 mg·L) on ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in nitrifying sludge was investigated. The result indicated that and were related to AOB, and Nitrobacter was related to NOB in nitrifying sludge with NH addition, respectively.

[Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Synthesis by Glycerol-based Mixed Culture and Its Relation with Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR)].

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is one of the most promising biopolymers with the advantages of biodegradable biocompatible and renewable. A glycerol-fed PHA-producing mixed culture was enriched in a feast-famine regime. The substrate versatility and PHA production capacity of the mixed culture were studied using acetate,propionate,butyric, glucose and lactate as substrate, respectively.

[On-line Estimation for the Amount of Stored PHA in Activated Sludge Based on OUR-HPR Measurements].

Activated sludge process is an important approach for industrial Polyhydroxyalkanoate ( PHA ) production. Off-line measurement with a time lag and complex analysis, is a common method for PHA, but is not suitable for the process control of PHA production. Based on a model for simultaneous storage and growth-soluble microbial products (SSAG-SMP), it is assumed that there is the linear relationship between the PHA synthesized and OUR or HPR, respectively.

[Influencing factors of floc size distribution and fractal dimension of activated sludge].

Floc size distribution (FSD) and fractal dimension are the important parameters for activated sludge. FSD of aerobic activated sludge during flocculation process was measured by a laser particle size analyzer, and the influence of velocity gradient, VSS/ SS, EPS content and Zeta potential on FSD was investigated. The results showed that the floc volume-average size was negatively correlated to velocity gradient (R > 0.

The enhancement of completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) by N2H4 addition.

The long-term addition of N2H4 to completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) recovered and enhanced their autotrophic nitrogen removal capacity while simultaneously reducing their production of NO3(-). The total nitrogen (TN) removal rate and TN removal efficiency of the process increased from 0.202±0.

[Monitoring the stoichiometric relation of ammonium oxidation with the titrimetry of hydrogen ion variation].

A set of automatically titrimetric system to monitor the hydrogen ion variation during biological wastewater treatment process in a batch bioreactor was developed, which consists of a batch bioreactor, data auto-acquisition and preservation unit, and titrant autodosing unit. The accuracy of measurement for the system was evaluated by measuring the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen ion production amount to ammonium consumption amount of ammonium oxidation in an activated sludge system. The ratios measured in a 1L bioreactor with NH4+ -N concentrations of 1.

[Simultaneous chracterization of RBCOD and SBCOD in wastewater by hybrid respirometer].

Respirometry was made using wastewater and activated sludge from a WWTP of Chongqing through self-developed hybrid respirometer. And complete oxygen uptake rate (OUR) curves containing OUR of biodegradation process of RBCOD and SBCOD and endogenous process were obtained. A new method based on respirometry was proposed to characterize RBCOD and SBCOD in wastewater simultaneously, in which hydrolysis model was selected to analyze OUR curves of SBCOD according to the two-phases nature of exogenous OUR and trend-test method for endogens OUR.
