Application of Defined Co-Immobilized Microbial Consortium as a Ready-to-Use Seed Inoculum in Bod Analysis

A number of microorganisms were isolated from sewage. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD-5 day) analysis was carried out by individual pure cultures. The cultures giving higher or equal BOD values as compared to reference GGA solution were selected for the formulation of a defined mixed microbial consortium. This microbial consortium was co-immobilized on calcium-alginate beads. Four synthetic and six industrial samples were tested for BOD by using immobilized beads as well as sewage as source of seeding materials. BOD values obtained with beads for all the synthetic as well as industrial samples were fairly comparable with those obtained with sewage. Reusability of prepared microbial beads was also checked with different synthetic and industrial samples and was compared with reference GGA solution. The same microbial beads can be reused three times for different BOD-5 day estimations. It is recommended that immobilized microbial beads can be used as a ready-to-use seeding material for BOD analysis.     

Recovery of gold by chicken egg shell membrane-conjugated chitosan beads

We have successfully prepared a bead-type adsorbent from two materials with different adsorption characteristics. Heavy metals were removed by greatly swollen egg shell membrane-conjugated chitosan beads. The egg shell membrane accumulated and removed precious metal ions from a dilute aqueous solution with a high affinity in a short contact time. Experiments suggested that chitosan beads could take up gold ions with great capacity and selectivity by conjugation with egg shell membrane. Under certain conditions, the selective removal of gold and copper in a mixture of gold and copper ions by egg shell membrane-conjugated chitosan beads was 100% and 2%, respectively. Egg shell membrane-conjugated chitosan beads can be seen as a promising material to recover gold in wastewater from various industries, such as electroplating.     

聚乙二醇和海藻酸钠混合固定化硝化细菌研究

采用聚乙二醇(PEG)和海藻酸钠(SA)作为混合固定化载体材料对硝化细菌进行包埋固定化.结果表明,PEG和SA质量分数分别为6％和4％时,其溶液黏稠度、成球效果及机械强度、传质性能等方面都均为最佳.另外,固定化小球扫描电镜显示球体为外密内疏的结构,这满足体内细胞泄漏少、外面细胞难以进入的条件.将所得最佳性能的固定化小球与游离菌体进行模拟废水降解对比试验,经过7d处理后废水中氨氮和亚硝态氮质量浓度都明显下降,且固定化颗粒的降解率要明显高于游离菌株,此时氨氮的去除率为90％,亚硝态氮去除率为80％.     

固定化微生物对低温河水脱氮效果的中试研究

利用微生物净化受污染河水是目前常用的地表水体修复方法,但低温条件下微生物代谢缓慢,酶活性下降,在寒冷季节难以维持对河水的净化效果.本研究采用固定化的方法提高微生物的低温耐受性,通过中试试验考察自然挂膜的固定化微生物、经低温驯化的预挂膜固定化微生物及预挂膜固定化微生物耦合生物促生剂这3种方法对低温河水中COD及氮素类污染物的去除效果.结果表明,在低温条件下3种方法均能有效提升河水的净化效果,静止条件下,河水中COD、NH₄⁺-N、NO₃^--N和TN的去除率由分别由21.3%、37.2%、8.5%和6.9%提升至72.3%~77.9%、48.6%~62.7%、35.3%~42.3%和26.2%~31.9%.COD去除率在2~3 cm·s^-1流速下明显优于静止条件,总氮去除率在2 cm·s^-1流速下最高.自然挂膜和预挂膜微生物对河水中污染的去除无明显差别,添加促生剂对固定化微生物的净化作用没有进一步的提升,但功能菌群的微生物群落结构有所不同.促生剂的添加提高了河水中的微生物活性与群落多样性,但对固定化载体上的微生物无明显影响.固定化载体上的优势菌群均为低温下具有脱氮功能的Proteobacteria.此外,具有低温适应性的脱氮功能菌属Rhodoferax、Pedobacter及Pseudomonas在3组固定化载体上均有较高丰度,而自然挂膜的载体上及其河水中分别对Malikia属及hgcI_clade属具有显著特异性的富集（p<0.05）,这两种菌属均具有低温脱氮功能.

Chromium sorption on grape stalks encapsulated in calcium alginate beads

A novel sorbent based on 2% grape stalk wastes encapsulated in calcium alginate beads was investigated for the removal of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) from aqueous solutions. The sorbent proved to be efficient for chromium removal in both hexavalent and trivalent forms from aqueous solution at pH 3.0. In binary mixtures, the presence in solution of one of the forms enhances the sorption of the other which results in an increase of the amount of total chromium removed. This study suggests that the proposed sorbent can be used for the removal of chromium from wastewaters through a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process.
