内源呼吸过程溶解性代谢产物的光谱特性分析

微生物内源呼吸期对污水处理过程具有重要意义.为了更清晰地了解微生物内源呼吸过程,采用三维荧光光谱、紫外光谱结合呼吸图谱对微生物内源呼吸过程进行解析.结果表明,三维荧光光谱和紫外光谱在内源呼吸各个阶段有明显的不同:1内源呼吸快速下降期(第1 d):腐殖酸峰的激发波长(Ex)和发射波长(Em)分别出现5 nm、6 nm的蓝移,荧光指数f450/500和HIX(humification index)分别减小了9.3%、0.2%,UV253/203和UV254分别增加了37.5%、200%,预示着混合液中可生物降解有机物的存在;2内源呼吸慢速下降期(第2 d):f450/500增加了0.5%,HIX减小0.2%,UV253/203减小了20%,UV254增加了16.7%,预示着细胞可能出现了水解或自溶;3内源呼吸稳定期(第3~5 d):腐殖酸峰基本保持不变预示了微生物适应了饥饿环境.本研究从代谢产物的角度解析了内源呼吸过程,为污水处理过程控制提供了新的思路.

Spectral Characteristics of Soluble Metabolites During Endogenous Respiration

Endogenous respiration phase plays an important role in the sewage treatment process. In order to clearly understand the endogenous respiration process of the activated sludge process, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy and respirogram were employed for the analysis of endogenous respiration process. Results showed that the three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy could identify all stages significantly. The following conclusions could be drawn: 1Rapid decline phase of endogenous respiration:the excitation wavelength (E_x) and emission wavelength (E_m) of humic peak showed blue shift of 5 nm and 6 nm, respectively, the fluorescence index f_450/500 and HIX (humification index) were reduced by 9.3% and 0.2%, respectively, UV_253/203 and UV₂₅₄ increased by 37.5% and 200%, respectively. These results indicated the presence of bioavailable organics; 2Slow decline phase of endogenous respiration: f_450/500 was increased by 0.5%, HIX was reduced by 0.2%, UV_253/203 was reduced by 20%, UV₂₅₄ was increased by 16.7%. These results indicated that hydrolysis or autolysis of cells might occur; 3Stable phase of endogenous respiration: humic acid peak remained unchanged, indicating the adaption of microorganisms to starving environment. The analysis of the endogenous respiration process from the perspective of metabolites provides a new way for control of microbial wastewater treatment process.
