The bacterial reaction of ammonium oxidation coupling with iron reduction (Feammox) has been discovered recently. To improve the ammonium removal efficiency from wastewater of Feammox bacteria, magnetic chitosan hydrogel beads (MCHBs) were prepared via sodium hydroxide co-precipitating-sol-gel method, Feammox bacteria were immobilized to 1-5 mm MCHBs, and the ammonium removal efficiency by MCHBs-Feammox bacteria was compared to free-Feammox bacteria. In addition, the influences of initial ammonium concentration, pH and temperature were assessed. The results showed that the MCHBs were ferromagnetic and exhibited high crystallinity, with the magnetization of saturation of 29.46 emu·g-1. The average rates of ammonia oxidation and iron reduction increased by 42.96% and 20.75% after Feammox bacteria immobilization, respectively, and the most significant effect was observed on 1-2 mm MCHBs-Feammox bacteria (P<0.05). Furthermore, 1-2 mm MCHBs immobilized bacteria worked in less favorable matrix concentrations, temperatures, and pH. Particularly, it could maintain high ammonium removal efficiency with 60.00 mg·L-1 initial ammonium concentration, 25℃ temperature and 4.50 pH. In addition, nitrate and ferrous ions were detected in the system. The highest ammonium removal rate occurred on day 16, reaching 53.62%. These results indicated that MCHBs immobilization can improve the ammonium removal efficiency of Feammox.

Ammonium oxidation under iron-reducing conditions have been discovered recently,which is considered as a new pathway to treat wastewater.Nevertheless,there is little information to prove the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen for real wastewater by the method.Thus,three kinds of wastewater were selected in this study,including civil wastewater from Qinzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant,rural wastewater from Xiaolan River in Qinzhou,and mine wastewater from a pyrites region.It showed that 40.05% of the ammonia nitrogen was removed for the civil wastewater after 10 days' incubation,and ammonia nitrogen slightly decreased for the rural wastewater.However,ammonia nitrogen changed little in the mine wastewater.After pH adjusting,44.64% of the ammonia nitrogen was removed in the mine wastewater after 10 days' incubation.These results suggested that the process of ammonium oxidation under iron-reducing conditions could be used for civil and rural wastewater treatment,while for mine wastewater treatment,it could be applied after pH adjusting.
The microbial reaction of ammonium oxidation coupling with iron reduction (Feammox) were discovered recently. However, little information is found to prove the removal efficiency of ammonium from simulate wastewater in the Feammox biofilm reactor. In this study, the effects of different ammonium concentration on Feammox biofilm reactor under closed condition and their denitrification reaction characteristics under continuous feeding condition were investigated. The results showed that the simulate wastewater with ammonium concentration of 75 mg/L reached the maximum ammonium removal, with the removal rate of 41.49% in 15 days. When the reactor was running continuously for 90 days, with inflowing NH4+-N concentration of 75 mg/L and 10 days HRT, the maximum ammonium removal reached 33.78%. Feammox biofilm reaction can be divided two stages. In first stage (10 ~ 60 d), ammonium was possibly oxidized to nitrogen, and the denitrification reaction carried out simultaneously. In second stage (60 ~ 90 d), the weakening denitrification reaction resulted in the accumulation of NO3--N. The results of 16SrRNA bacterial sequencing showed that the Feammox reaction was drove byAcidimicrobium andExiguobacterium.

Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)—A well known gasoline additive substituting for lead alkyls—causes lipid disorders and liver dysfunctions in animal models. However, whether MTBE exposure is a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains uncertain. We evaluate the possible relationship between MTBE exposure and the prevalence of NAFLD among 71 petrol station attendants in southern China. The personal exposure concentrations of MTBE were analyzed by Head Space Solid Phase Microextraction GC/MS. NAFLD was diagnosed by using abdominal ultrasonography according to the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD suggested by the Chinese Hepatology Association. Demographic and clinical characteristics potentially associated with NAFLD were investigated. Mutivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to measure odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The result showed that the total prevalence of NAFLD was 15.49% (11/71) among the study subjects. The average exposure concentrations of MTBE were 292.98 ± 154.90 μg/m3 and 286.64 ± 122.28 μg/m3 in NAFLD and non-NAFLD groups, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between them (p > 0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, physical exercise, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood cell (WBC), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the odds ratios were 1.31 (95% CI: 0.85–1.54; p > 0.05), 1.14 (95% CI: 0.81–1.32; p > 0.05), 1.52 (95% CI: 0.93–1.61; p > 0.05) in the groups (including men and women) with exposure concentrations of MTBE of 100–200 μg/m3, 200–300 μg/m3, and ≥300 μg/m3, respectively, as compared to the group (including men and women) ≤100 μg/m3. Our investigation indicates that exposure to MTBE does not seem to be a significant risk factor for the prevalence of NAFLD among petrol station attendants in southern China.

The implementation of eco-compensation schemes demands large capital investment. Therefore, the raising and allocation of funds is critical to the smooth operation of an eco-compensation mechanism. However, the majority of stud- ies on eco-compensation dwell on the development of compensation standards and the allocation of compensation funds, with very few studies considering the allocation of compensation responsibility among multiple compensation providers. Choosing Zhongshan as a case, this paper explores how to reasonably allocate the responsibility among the compensation providers in case of a demand for larger compensation due to any changes in the eco-compensation standards, so as to successfully raise the required funds for compensation. In accordance with the "Beneficiary Pays Principle", and for the purpose of ensuring the successful raising of the compensation funds, this paper constructs a model comprising three eco- compensation providers, including the provincial and municipal government as well as the towns receiving the spillover effect of ecosystem services provided by other townships. After analyzing the spatial distribution of ecosystem services, it further builds a model of compensation responsibility allocation (CRA) among townships in connection with regional ecosystem services value density and the gap between demand and supply of ecosystem service value. At the end, the pa- per simulates the results of CRA among the three eco-compensation providers in Zhongshan under five scenarios.
Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanopowders were synthesized under aeration (oxidizing) conditions by aqueous synthesis in this study. The microstructures of the prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET-BJH. The XRD analysis and the chemical experiments showed that well-crystallized γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were successfully obtained with a mean particle size of approximately 17 nm. The prepared γ-Fe2O3 was spherical with a BET surface area of 14.357 m2/g and a total pore volume of 0.050 cm3/g. Varying the reaction conditions, such as pH, temperature, and reaction time, we obtained crystallized γ-Fe2O3 powders with different crystallization extent and different particle sizes. When the pH of the reaction suspension was increased, the reaction time was prolonged, and the reaction temperature was increased, the γ-Fe2O3 powders underwent superior crystallization and had larger particle sizes. All the obtained γ-Fe2O3 powders had significant photocatalytic activities under both UV and visible light irradiation for Orange I degradation, and the powders with better crystallization and larger particle size had relatively lower activities for Orange I photocatalytic degradation. The one-step aqueous synthesis method presented in this paper may provide an advantageous pathway to synthesize large quantities of this important iron oxide.
