Isolation and physiological characterization of the pentachlorophenol degrading bacterium Sphingomonas chlorophenolica

Many chlorophenols tend to persist in the environment, and they may become public health hazards. Among chlorophenols, pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a priority pollutant that has been used widely as a general biocide in commercial wood treatment. Owing to the rapid industrial growth, serious soil and water pollutions by chlorophenols has been reported in Taiwan. In this study, 10 indigenous PCP-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from a PCP-degrading mixed culture, and the potential of both the pure and mixed cultures for PCP degradation compared. Moreover, the physiological characteristics and optimum growth conditions of the PCP-degrading bacteria were investigated. One of the isolated bacterial strains with good potential for PCP degradation was characterized and identified as Sphingomonas chlorophenolica by 16S rDNA gene analysis. The result of the optimum growth temperatures revealed that this organism was a mesophile. The optimum pH for PCP removal by S. chlorophenolica was between 6.9 and 7.6. Increase in concentration of PCP has a negative effect on the biodegradation potential of S. chlorophenolica and PCP concentration above 600 mg l(-1) was inhibitory to its growth. The results of this study indicate that this S. chlorophenolica strain has a better potential for PCP degradation compared to the enriched mixed culture. The physiological characterization of the isolates also indicates the possible application of this strain for bioremediation of sites contaminated with PCP.     

Simultaneous removal of nitrate and pentachlorophenol from simulated groundwater using a biodenitrification reactor packed with corncob

Both nitrate and pentachlorophenol (PCP) are familiar pollutants in aqueous environment. This research is focused on the simultaneous removal of nitrate and PCP from simulated contaminated groundwater using a laboratory-scale denitrification reactor packed with corncob as both carbon source and biofilm support. The reactor could be started up readily, and the removal efficiencies of nitrate and PCP reached up to approximately 98 % and 40–45 % when their initial concentrations were 50 mg N/L and 5 mg/L, respectively, after 15-day continuous operation at 10 h of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and 25 °C. Approximately 91 % of PCP removal efficiency was achieved, with 2.47 mg/L of chloride ion release at 24 h of HRT. Eighty-two percent of chlorine in PCP removed was ionized. The productions of 3-chlorophenol and phenol and chloride ion release indicate that the reductive dechlorination reaction is a major degradation pathway of PCP under the experimental conditions.     

Gas chromatographic methods for monitoring of wastewater chlorophenol degradation in anaerobic reactors

Wastewater samples from an anaerobic reactor were extracted with hexane and derivatized with diazomethane (method 1) and with acetic anidride (method 2). Gas chromatography with electron-capture detection (ECD) was employed for separating the parent compound and intermediates trichlorophenols (TCP) and dichlorophenols (DCP) which originated from the penta chlorophenol (PCP) degradation process. The relations between concentrations of PCP, TCP and DCP areas were linear in the range of concentrations of 0.2 to 8 mg/L and 0.025 mg/L to 5 mg/L for methods 1 and 2, respectively. The repeatability of the extraction methods was satisfactory, with variation coefficients lower than 11%. For method 1, at the fortification level of 0.2 mg/L, recovery of PCP, TCP, and DCP was 112%, 74% and 45%, respectively. For method 2, the corresponding recovery values at the fortification level of 0.1 mg/L were 91%, 93% and 103%, respectively. Storage of the frozen samples did not alter their PCP determination properties. The chromatographic methods adapted for chlorophenol determination in wastewater were suitable with relatively simple manipulation techniques. The obtained results were reproducible and allowed identification of intermediates formed during the PCP degradation process.

Degradation of pentachlorophenol by pure and mixed cultures in two different soils

GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND: Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is the second highest volume pesticide used in the United States. It is a mutagenic compound whose exposure poses significant health effects, One of the most desirable, environmentally friendly treatment methods is bioremediation. For soil-based contamination, the effectiveness of bioremediation will also be affected by the presence of an active indigenous population, sorption of the contaminant onto the soil, and environmental parameters. METHODS: Two pure strains and their mixed culture were used to evaluate PCP biodegradation in two different field soils, Columbia (CO) and New Mexico (NM). Biostimulation of the indigenous microbes was evaluated by adding nutrients. The efficiency of adding bacteria strains (bioaugmentation) for degrading PCP was determined with Arthrobacter sp., Flavobacterium sp. and a 50:50 mixture of the two bacteria strains. RESULTS: In CO soil, only 24%, 12% and 25% of the initial PCP concentration were degraded by Flavobacterium sp., Arthrobacter sp. and mixed culture, respectively. Arthrobacter sp. was used in NM soil with two initial concentrations and achieved degradation efficiencies of 57% and 61% for 361 and 95 mg kg- concentrations, respectively. Discussion. Analysis via statistical methods showed that the bacteria had different efficiencies on PCP degradation in each soil. 2 CONCLUSIONS: All bacteria catalyzed a higher PCP degradation when present in NM soil. Second, Flavobacterium sp. degraded more PCP than Arthrobacter sp. in CO soil. The mixed culture achieved the highest degradation efficiency regardless of the initial concentration or soil origin. RECOMMENDATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES: The effect of the soil properties, such as the soil organic matter (SOM) on PCP biodegradation should be investigated. Future work can also investigate the effect of aging time on biodegradation.

ANAEROBIC TREATMENT OF ATRAZINE BEARING WASTEWATER

Performance of mixed microbial anaerobic culture in treating synthetic wastewater with high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and varying atrazine concentration was studied. Performance of hybrid reactors with wood charcoal as adsorbent, with a dose of 10 g/l and 40 g/l, along with the microbial mass was also studied. All the reactors were operated in sequential mode with Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) of 5 days. In all the cases, COD removal after 5 days was found to be above 81%. Initial COD was above 1000 mg/l. From a hybrid reactor COD removal after 2 days was observed to be 90%. Atrazine reduction after 5 days by microbial mass alone was 43.8%, 40% and 33.2% with an initial concentration of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/l respectively. MLSS on all the cases were almost same. Increasing MLSS concentration by about 2 fold did not increase the atrazine removal efficiency significantly. Maximum atrazine removal was observed to be 64% from the hybrid reactor with 10 g/l of wood charcoal and 69.4% from the reactor with 40 g/l of wood charcoal. Atrazine removal from the hybrid reactors after 15 days were observed to be 35.7% and 38.7%, which showed that the higher dose of wood charcoal in hybrid reactor did not improve the atrazine removal efficiency significantly. Specific methanogenic activity test showed no inhibitory effect of atrazine on methane producing bacteria. The performance of anaerobic microorganisms in removing atrazine with no external carbon source and inorganic nitrogen source was studied in batch mode. With an initial concentration of 1.0 mg/l, reduction of atrazine by the anaerobic microorganisms in absence of external carbon source after 35 days was observed to be 61.8% where as in absence of external carbon and inorganic nitrogen source the reduction was only 44.2% after 150 days. Volatilization loss of atrazine was observed to be insignificant.     

Treatment of carbofuran-bearing synthetic wastewater using UASB process

In the present study, fate of carbofuran in anaerobic environments and the adverse effects of carbofuran on conventional anaerobic systems were evaluated. Carbofuran degradation studies were carried out in batch reactors with varying carbofuran concentrations of 0 to 270.73 mg/L corresponding to a sludge-loading rate (SLR) of 2.12 x 10(-6) to 3.83 x 10(-3) g of carbofuran/g of volatile suspended solids (VSS)/d. Carbofuran concentration was reduced to undetectable levels at the end of 8 and 13 days in the batch reactors operated with a SLR of 2.12 x 10(-6) and 3.33 x 10(-5) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d, respectively. Performances of two anaerobic reactors i.e. upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and modified UASB (with tube settlers) were evaluated in the presence and absence of carbofuran using synthetic wastewater. In the absence of carbofuran, the soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency in the conventional UASB reactor at 8 h and 6 h hydraulic retention time (HRT) was nearly 88% and 76%, respectively, whereas in modified UASB reactor it was increased to 90% at 8 h HRT and 78% at 6 h HRT. When 28 mg/L (SLR of 1.19 x 10(-2) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d) of carbofuran was introduced in the reactors, the COD removal efficiency was reduced to 41% and 44% in conventional and modified UASB reactors respectively. However, the reactor could maintain around 80% COD removal efficiency at a carbofuran concentration of 7.84 mg/L (SLR of 3.64 x 10(-3) g of carbofuran/g of VSS/d). The reactor efficiency was also measured in terms of specific acetoclastic methanogenic activity (SMA). The toxic effect of carbofuran was reversible to a certain extent. Carbofuran removal efficiency in the conventional UASB reactor at carbofuran concentrations of 7, 13 and 28 mg/L were 40 +/- 3%, 27 +/- 3%, and 11 +/- 3%, respectively. In modified UASB reactor, carbofuran removal efficiency was almost uniform at 7 and 13 mg/L but it was reduced nearly by 56% at 28 mg/L. The major metabolite of carbofuran i.e. 3-keto carbofuran was found in all the reactors.

Two-phase partitioning bioreactor for the biodegradation of high concentrations of pentachlorophenol using Sphingobium chlorophenolicum DSM 8671

An organic-aqueous two-liquid-phase partitioning system was developed to degrade high concentrations of pentachlorophenol (PCP). Dioctyl sebacate was selected among 12 non-aqueous phases as the most suitable solvent to control the delivery of PCP to the aqueous phase for being non-biodegradable and biocompatible. In shake-flask experiments, the two-phase system was able to support the removal of 1g PCP l(-1) of total liquid phase. The performance of the two-liquid phase partitioning system (TLPPS) in shake-flask was evaluated under different conditions. At the initial biomass concentrations of 7, 25, and 58 mg dry weight l(-1), the volumetric removal rates of PCP obtained were 25.7+/-0.5, 32.1+/-0.1, and 39.3+/-2.9 mg PCP l(-1)h(-1), respectively. Higher performance was observed at lower organic-aqueous phase ratios (16% and 28%) than higher ones (37% and 44%). In a 2-l TLPPS, the degradation of 10 g PCP was completed in less than 100 h at a total volumetric rate of 142 mg l(-1) h(-1). Kinetics study using Monod model showed that compared to monophasic systems, the biphasic system significantly enhanced the maximum specific growth rate and PCP removal rate. Results of this biphasic system showed no accumulation of unknown by-product(s) which has been reported for physical-pretreatment or high-performance biphasic systems of PCP degradation.

Improving nitrogen removal in two modified decentralized wastewater systems

Efficient nutrient removal in decentralized wastewater treatment systems is a challenging task. To improve the removal of organic matter and nitrogen from wastewater, two types of bioreactors using membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) and microbial fuel cell (MFC) techniques were evaluated. During more than 250 days of continuous-flow reactor operation, both reactors showed consistently high chemical oxygen demand removal (>86%). At an influent ammonium-nitrogen (NH4(+)-N) concentration of 30 mg N/L, the average effluent NH4(+)-N concentrations were 6.2 and 0.5 mg N/L for the MABR and MFC reactor, respectively, while the effluent nitrate-nitrogen (NO3(-)-N) concentrations were 5.4 mg/ L in the MABR and 19.2 mg/L in the MFC-based reactor. The overall total inorganic nitrogen removal efficiencies were 64% and 36% for the MABR and MFC reactor, respectively. At the measured dissolved oxygen concentrations of 5.2 and 0.23 mg/L in the aerobic/anoxic zone of the MFC and MABR, respectively, a specific oxygen uptake rate of 0.1 g O2/g VSS-d, resulting from ammonia oxidation, was detected in the settled sludge of the MFC, while no nitrifying activity of the sludge from the MABR was detected. Molecular microbial analysis demonstrated a link between the bacterial community structure and nitrifying activity. The relatively high abundance of Nitrosomonas europaea was associated with its detectable nitrification activity in the settled sludge of the MFC. The results suggest that MABR and MFC techniques have the potential to improve organic and nitrogen removal in decentralized wastewater systems.

Determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in waste wood--method comparison by a collaborative trial

Two independently developed and validated procedures for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in waste wood were compared by means of a collaborative trial. Both methods foresee quantification of PCP by gas chromatography (GC-ECD) after acetylation and differ with regard to the use of methanol or toluene/sulphuric acid, respectively, as solvent in the sonication extraction step. Test samples with established analyte homogeneity were prepared from a ground "real life" starting material. A total of 23 participating laboratories with experience in wood preservative analysis were instructed to apply both methods to three levels of content in the range of 0.5-20 mg PCP/kg. In case of the toluene/sulphuric acid extraction, lower recoveries and higher interlaboratory dispersion of results at the higher PCP contents were observed. Seen against the background of the Horwitz equation a reproducibility standard deviation of approximately 19% for the methanol extraction at the 4.5 mg/kg level meets the requirement for a sound analytical method. Thus, the sonication extraction procedure with methanol has been annexed as a reference method to the German waste wood regulation.

酸性媒介黄GG生物降解性能的试验研究

通过试验研究酸性媒介黄GG染料在厌氧、好氧条件下的生物降解机理、降解能力及共代谢降解效果。试验结果表明，厌氧菌能够通过葡萄糖共代谢作用很快降解酸性媒介黄GG；而好氧条件下经驯化活性污泥不能降解酸性媒介黄GG，经过较长时间驯化活性污泥能降解酸性媒介黄GG，但降解效果很差。葡萄糖浓度的升高对提高酸性媒介黄GG厌氧生物降解率有利，当葡萄糖浓度为2000mg／L时，40mg／L酸性媒介黄GC的12和60h厌氧生物降解率分别达到81．5％和93．5％。酸性媒介黄GG浓度对厌氧菌的生物降解能力也有影响。当葡萄糖浓度为2000mg／L，酸性媒介黄GG（浓度为20～100mg／L）的厌氧降解率最好，降解效率达到了94％，说明厌氧菌对酸性媒介黄GG的降解能力较好。     

曝气量对悬浮系统单级自养脱氮性能的影响

通过连续实验和间歇实验研究了不同曝气量对SBR系统自养脱氮性能的影响。连续实验表明,在进水氨氮浓度为155～185 mg/L时,曝气量分别为20、28、36和44 L/h时,TN去除率分别为80%、82%、80%和77%;增大和减小曝气量均会降低系统的脱氮效率。间歇实验表明,随着曝气量的增加,氨氮的降解速率有所升高,20、28、36和44 L/h曝气条件下氨氮的降解速率分别为7.23、7.25、7.86和7.95 mg/(g MLVSS.h);在降解的过程中DO浓度一直维持在较低的水平(<0.5 mg/L),pH值则呈先升高后降低的趋势;氨氮降解结束时,pH值和DO浓度同时升高。结果表明,改变曝气量会影响单级自养脱氮反应的进程,但对降解过程DO浓度值变化不大;DO浓度和pH值变化对氨降解结束具有指示作用。
