Optimization of Immobilized Microorganisms Technology to Cr (VI) in Wastewater

In order to establish a low cost and high efficiency immobilized microorganism system to treat Cr (VI) wastewater, the effects to removal capacity to Cr (VI) of microbe strain, additives and medium were investigated. These strains were immobilized with SA (sodium alginate) by immobilized microorganism technology combined with three additives CNTs (carbon nanotubes), activated carbon, straw and nutrient source, respectively. The results showed that three kinds of additives could improve the removal effect to Cr (VI), and the removal rate up to 30% when Cr (VI) concentration was 10mg/L. There was not a significant difference among these additives. The solution contains 40% medium could significantly improve the removal capacity to Cr (VI). The removal rate could reach more than 98% when Cr (VI) concentrations were 10mg/L-20mg/L. Therefore, efficient strains, additives and medium could improve the removal capacity to Cr (VI) of immobilized microorganism technology. It can be widely used in chromium contaminated wastewater.

Enhancement the Enzymatic Activity of Phenol-Degrading Microbes Immobilized on Agricultural Residues during the Biodegradation of Phenol in Petrochemical Wastewater

In this study, we illustrated enhanced biodegradation enzyme activity and the strains growth using the plants residues as carriers during the biodegradation of phenol in petrochemical wastewater. The three phenol-degrading strains named as A1, A2 and A3 were selected for an immobilized microorganism technique. A1, A2 and A3 were identified asPenicilliumoxalicum,Aspergillussp. andSphingobacteriumsp. using detailed morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization. The growth and degradation rate of phenol in wastewater by strains A1, A2 and A3 pre-grown in the agricultural residues (peanut shell) were higher than the free strains. Compared with the free strains,the enzyme activity of strains A1,A2 and A3, using the residues for pre-grown, increased 29.01 U/L, 30.30 U/L and 38.07 U/L, respectively. Hence, the immobilized microorganism technique is conducive to the phenol degradation.
