| Abstract: | "Self-made glass reactors were employed to study the occurrence of black water bloom induced by different types of organic matters, to clarify the precursor of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs), and then to preliminarily study its degradation mechanisms under laboratory-controlled conditions. Our research indicated that provided organic matrix were as high as 1.0 g x L(-1), all organic matters could blacken the lake water regardless of sulfur appearance or not. However, compared with sulfur-free compounds that took more than 13 d to blacken the water, sulfur containing materials could accelerate the occurrence of black color to 7-13 d and increase the water chromaticity to above 410 which causing offensive odor consisted chiefly of DMDS, DMTS and DMTeS. Based on the function of methionine on the production of VOSCs, methionine was identified to be the precursors of VOSCs. Methionine was readily broke down by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) (also other bacteria) (at 95% with the duration of 35 d) to produce hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, and dominantly dimethylpolysulfides such as DMDS, DMTS and DMTeS. And the occurrence of black color had been advanced from 13 d to 8 d. Methanogenic bacteria slightly inhibited the degradation of methionine and reduced the evolution of sulfide. Therefore, the addition of methanogenic bacteria inhibitor set the formation of black color ahead by 1 d. Methionine was also degraded by nonbiodegradation, but it was a secondary pathway and cannot completely degrade methionine to blacken the water" |
