A municipal wastewater biosludge was acclimated to the degradation of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA). The acclimation was achieved by using this compound as the sole source of nitrogen during the degradation of succinate as the sole source of carbon and energy. The acclimated bacteria were able to eliminate and mineralize 4-NA as the sole source of carbon and energy. However, in batch tests, the degradation process was somewhat instable and only occurred at comparatively low rates. A continuously operated miniaturized fixed-bed bioreactor was used in order to increase the degradation rates. It was inoculated with the acclimated bacteria and fed with 4-NA as the sole substrate. The system enabled high bioconversion efficiency, due to the development of a high biomass concentration of up to 5.45 g SS L-1. At input concentrations of 4-NA up to 4.5 mM and a hydraulic retention time of 3.5 hours a high degradation rate of 1.1 mmol 4-NA L-1 h-1 and 90 ... 95% DOC removal were achieved. Partial nitrification, also occurred. After gradual adaptation, the bacteria also degraded 3-NA and 4-NA simultaneously in this system. Additional batch tests showed, that 3-NA can serve as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. 相似文献
Herein, we report a detailed study on creating heterojunction between graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and bismuth phosphate (BiPO4), enhancing the unpaired free electron mobility. This leads to an accelerated photocatalysis of 2,4-dichlorophenols (2,4-DCPs) under sunlight irradiation. The heterojunction formation was efficaciously conducted via a modest thermal deposition technique. The function of g-C3N4 plays a significant role in generating free electrons under sunlight irradiation. Together, the generated electrons at the g-C3N4 conduction band (CB) are transferred and trapped by the BiPO4 to form active superoxide anion radicals (?O2?). These active radicals will be accountable for the photodegradation of 2,4-DCPs. The synthesized composite characteristics were methodically examined through several chemical and physical studies. Due to the inimitable features of both g-C3N4 and BiPO4, its heterojunction formation, 2.5wt% BiPO4/g-C3N4 achieved complete 2,4-DCP removal (100%) in 90 min under sunlight irradiation. This is due to the presence of g-C3N4 that enhanced electron mobility through the formation of heterojunctions that lengthens the electron-hole pairs’ lifetime and maximizes the entire solar spectrum absorption to generate active electrons at the g-C3N4 conduction band. Thus, this formation significantly draws the attention for future environmental remediation, especially in enhancing the entire solar spectrum’s harvesting.
Two typical neutral soils were treated with 10, 200 and 2000 ppm 4-chloro-o-cresol and 5-chloro-3-methylcatechol under field capacity condition, and incubated for 12 weeks at room temperature. The samples were collected after 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks to study the fate of the compounds by gas chromatography. The two compounds were rapidly degraded and degradation was almost complete (90–96 %) after 4 weeks with a level of 10 ppm. The rate of persistence was similar in the two soils after different periods of incubation. 相似文献
