Cd Removal

Fungi are promising materials for soil metal bioextraction and thus biomining. Here, a macrofungi-based system was designed for rapid cadmium (Cd) removal from alkaline soil. The system realized directed and rapid fruiting body development for subsequent biomass harvest. The Cd removal efficiency of the system was tested through a pot culture experiment. It was found that aging of the added Cd occurred rapidly in the alkaline soil upon application. During mushroom growth, the soil solution remained considerably alkaline, though a significant reduction in soil pH was observed in both Cd treatments. Cd and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil solution generally increased over time and a significant correlation between them was detected in both Cd treatments, suggesting that the mushroom‒substratum system has an outstanding ability to mobilize Cd in an alkaline environment. Meanwhile, the growth of the mushrooms was not affected relative to the control. The estimated Cd removal efficiency of the system was up to 12.3% yearly thanks to the rapid growth of the mushroom and Cd enrichment in the removable substratum. Transcriptomic analysis showed that gene expression of the fruiting body presented considerable differences between the Cd treatments and control. Annotation of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) indicated that cell wall sorption, intracellular binding, and vacuole storage may account for the cellular Cd accumulation. In conclusion, the macrofungi-based technology designed in this study has the potential to become a standalone biotechnology with practical value in soil heavy metal removal, and continuous optimization may make the system useful for biomining.

Cd Removal

Soil contamination by heavy metals lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) is a form of pollution that is very dangerous for living things. One of the efforts to cultivate polluted soil is the remediation method using biochar from rice husks. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of biochar particle size variations on the removal of heavy metals Pb and Cd on contaminated soil. Biochar is made by pyrolysis at 500 0C for 1 hour and flows 0.1 L / minute of N2 gas. This study used a variety of biochar particle sizes of 100 mesh, 60 mesh, 40 mesh and testing time every 10 days for 1 month. The results of this study were the highest Pb and Cd removal in the addition of biochar with a particle size of 100 mesh, namely with a Pb concentration of 91.32 mg / kg and a removal efficiency of 54.05% ; Cd concentration of 10.47 mg / kg and a removal efficiency of 47.36%. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that the smaller the biochar particle size, the efficiency of heavy metal removal will increase.

Remediation Process

A new permeable reactive composite electrode (PRCE) attached with a permeable reactive layer (PRL) of Fe0 and zeolite has been developed for soil pH control and the improved removal efficiency of heavy metal ions (Cd, Ni, Pb, Cu) from soil in electrokinetic remediation process. The effects of different composite electrodes on pH control and heavy metal removal efficiency were studied, and changes in the forms of heavy metals moved onto the electrodes were analyzed. The results showed that with acidic/alkaline zeolite added and renewed in time, the composite electrodes could effectively neutralize and capture H+ and OH- produced from electrolysis of the anolyte and catholyte, avoiding or delaying the formation of acidic/alkaline front in tested soil, preventing premature precipitation of heavy metal ions and over-acidification of soil, and thus significantly improved the heavy metal removal efficiency. Fe0 in composite electrodes could deoxidize and stabilize the heavy metal ions. After that capture and immobilization of the pollutants were achieved. The results also showed that, using "Fe0 + zeolite" PRCE in the cathode with timely renewal, after 15-day remediation with a DC voltage of 1.5 V/cm, the total removal rates of Cd, Pb, Cu and Ni were 49.4%, 47.1%, 36.7% and 39.2%, respectively.

Heavy metal contamination is among the globally environmental and ecological concerns. In this study we assessed the development of the two green algae Schroederia setigera and Selenastrum bibraianum under exposures to 5 – 200 µg/L of Ni, Zn, and Cd in the laboratory conditions. Heavy metal removal efficiency of S. setigera was also tested in 537 µg Ni/L, 734 µg Zn/L, and 858 µg Cd/L. We found that the exposures with these heavy metals caused inhibitory on the growth of S. bibraianum. The S. bibraianum cell size in the 200 µg Zn/L treatment was around two times smaller than the control. However, Zn and Cd at the concentration of 200 µg/L did not inhibit the growth of S. setigera over 18 days of exposure. The S. setigera also grew well during 8 days exposed to Ni at the same concentration. Besides, the alga S. setigera could remove 66% of Zn, 18% of Cd and 12% of Ni out of the test medium after 16 days of incubation. The Vietnam Technical Regulation related to metals should be considered for ecological protection. We recommend to test the metal removal by the alga S. setigera at pilot scale prior to apply it in situ

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) produced by Bacillus pumilus C2 was employed to remove heavy metals from sewage of magnesium - based exhaust gas cleaning system (Mg-EGCS). The components of heavy metals in the sewage were detailed analyzed. On the base of the analytical results, the effects of addition amount of γ-PGA, adsorption time, temperature and NaCl concentration on the removal efficiency of typical heavy metals were further investigated. The optimal removal rates of heavy metals were obtained at the γ-PGA dosage of 9 g/L and adsorption duration of 30 min. The γ-PGA had excellent tolerance for high temperatures up to 80°C and exhibited steady heavy metal removal efficiency in NaCl concentrations of 0 – 24%. Under the optimal conditions, the removal rates of Zn, Cr, V, Cd, Pb and Ni by γ-PGA in a real sewage of Mg-EGCS achieved 53.6%, 100%, 49.2%, 72.7%, 33.7% and 39.9% respectively.

Reactive Barriers

As alternative materials for heavy metal removal, this study investigated biosorbents to determine their suitability for permeable reactive barriers. The lead removal efficiencies of brown seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) and reed (Phragmites australis) were determined under different conditions (batch and column system). The experimental results for these biomaterials fitted the Langmuir isotherm with high correlation values. It was verified that the influence of temperature on affinity was higher than that on adsorption capacity. While the lead removal efficiency of U. pinnatifida was higher than of P. australis in the batch experiments, lead removal efficiency decreased for both materials at approximately the same time in the column experiments. This indicates that the dominance of the chemical and physical adsorption mechanisms could result in differences in these systems.

Working Parameters

Heavy metal removal by electrocoagulation using iron electrodes material was investigated in this paper. Several working parameters, such as pH, current density and heavy metal ions concentration were studied in an attempt to achieve a higher removal capacity. A simple and efficient treatment process for removal of heavy metals is essentially necessary. The performance of continuous flow electrocoagulation system, with reactor consists of a ladder series of twelve electrolytic cells, each cell containing stainless steel cathode and iron anode. The treatment of synthetic solutions containing Zn 2+,Cu 2+,Ni 2+,Cr 3+,Cd 2+ and Co 2+ ,has been investigated. Results showed that iron is very effective as sacrificial electrode material for heavy metals removal efficiency and cost points. Also it was concluded that the chromium has lower efficient removal as compared to zinc, copper and nickel. At the same time cadmium and cobalt have minimum removal efficiency.

Filter Materials

First-flush rainwater is of great interest in the research on urban environmental protection and rainwater harvesting. It deteriorates the chemical, physical, and microbiological quality of the collected/stored water as well as the water body in an urban area. Accordingly, effective and economic treatment of first-flush rainwater is highly required. This study aimed to develop a technology for the treatment of first-flush rainwater using new filters made of wood fiber mat, dental cotton, and feldspar. The removal of pollutants in first-flush rainwater with each filter material was evaluated. Experiments were carried out using an artificial rainwater solution made of road dust particles (less than 200 um small) and D.I. water that contained ionic species. The SS concentration of the solution was set between 30 and 150 mg/L. Prior to the experiments, the fiber materials were pretreated with NaOH, FeCl3, and Al2O3. The batch test results indicated that the phosphate removal efficiency of the wood fiber mat was 8.6%; of the dental cotton, 34.7%; and of the feldspar, 1.7%. On the other hand, the heavy metal removal efficiency of the wood fiber mat was 91%; of the dental cotton, 26%; and of the feldspar, 0%. The highest cation exchange capacity of the wood fiber mat that was pretreated with NaOH was attributed to the existence of carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups in the wooden polymers. Combinations of filter materials were found to have been effective in removing particles in the rainwater. The combination of the wood fiber mat with polyethylene beads resulted in 97-98% particle removal. Other combinations such as DP (dental cotton and polyethylene beads), MF (wood fiber mat and feldspar), and DF (dental cotton and feldspar) showed particle removal rates of 90-95%, 84-96%, and 87-94%, respectively. After 30 minutes, all the combinations had a particle removal rate of over 90%.

In this study, Fe3O4 and TiO2 nanocomposites embedded sodium alginate (SA) beads were synthesized, which exhibited a robust performance of efficient adsorption in Pb (II) removal. Effects of lead ion concentration, initial pH , Pb (II) of contact time and no Tio2 in mixture on final removal efficiency were also evaluated. The results showed that Pb2+concentration increased from 25 to 200 mg/L, beads of adsorption capacity increased from 25 to 95 mg/g, the optimum pH for adsorption is located at 6.2 and the adsorption balance is around 240 minutes in 298K. The effect of the synthetic materials to add light catalyst is better, and removal efficiency can reach more than 95%.This work provides a practical and high-efficient method for heavy metal removal from water and sediment. Particles can be used to effectively handle containing low concentration of Pb2+ (< 200 mg/L) of water and sediment pollution.

Continuous Bioreactor

This work presents a control strategy for a continuous bioreactor for heavy metal removal. For this aim, regulation of the sulfate concentration, which is considered the measured and controlled state variable, allowed diminishing the cadmium concentration in the bioreactor, where the corresponding controller was designed via nonlinear bounded function. Furthermore, a nonlinear controllability analysis was done, which proved the closed-loop instability of the inner or uncontrolled dynamics of the bioreactor. A mathematical model, experimentally corroborated for cadmium removal, was employed as a benchmark for the proposed controller. Numerical experiments clearly illustrated the successful implementation of this methodology; therefore, cadmium removal amounted to more than 99%, when the initial cadmium concentration was up to 170 mg/L in continuous operating mode.
