Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental engineering technology, specifically relating to a method for remediating naphthalene-contaminated wastewater based on microbial co-culture-induced biological calcification. Background Technology
[0002] Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere and water bodies mainly originate from incomplete combustion of petrochemical products, leaks during storage, transportation, and production of crude oil, as well as sewage discharge. Through rainfall, surface runoff, and seepage, PAHs in the atmosphere enter the soil and groundwater, and eventually enter organisms through bioaccumulation.
[0003] PAHs are highly toxic due to their recalcitrant nature, strong bioaccumulation, semi-volatile nature, and carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects. Naphthalene is the most typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutant and was listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 1979 as one of the 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants to be controlled.
[0004] Currently, many methods have been developed for remediating PAHs, such as physical remediation (incineration, adsorption, and gas-phase extraction), chemical remediation (photocatalysis and advanced oxidation), phytoremediation, and microbial remediation. Compared with other remediation technologies, microbial remediation technology has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, and minimal environmental impact, and can simultaneously remediate contaminated soil and groundwater.
[0005] Biotechnology can be used to remediate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but its remediation effectiveness decreases significantly with increasing PAH concentration and the number of benzene rings formed. Naphthalene's thermal decomposition temperature is around 1077–1377 °C. Due to its long-term degradation characteristics, PAHs can migrate and transform through abiotic pathways (such as volatilization), significantly increasing the difficulty of PAH removal. Furthermore, PAH metabolism produces complex toxic intermediates, posing even greater challenges to removal methods. Therefore, a collaborative and innovative strategy is urgently needed to enhance the bioremediation of PAHs. Summary of the Invention

This method involves inoculating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading bacteria and urea-releasing bacteria sequences into the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater for co-culture, followed by the addition of urea and calcium chloride to induce remediation and complete the treatment of the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater.

[0079] Figure 6 This is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the mineralization products from the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater after 36 hours of continued remediation, as shown in Example 2. The testing method included: taking mineralization products from the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater system after 36 hours of continued remediation and performing SEM analysis. Figure 6 It is evident that aragonite and spheroidite are present in a certain area of this mineralization product, which is consistent with... Figure 3 The consistent characteristic peaks shown by XRD in the samples indicate that the method of this invention can obtain mineralized aragonite and spheroidized minerals. In another region of this mineralized product, a layered porous structure and surface-formed chambers capable of supporting bacteria are observed. In other regions of this mineralized product, biomineralized products induced by bacteria adsorbing naphthalene as nucleation sites are also present, indicating that the method of this invention successfully generates biomineralized precipitates adsorbed with naphthalene and its intermediates. The surface of this mineralized product exhibits multiple morphological characteristics, namely, the simultaneous presence of bacterial-loaded chambers, the obtained final mineralized products of aragonite and spheroidized aragonite, and induced biocalcification regions during the nucleation process, indicating continuous remediation. The method of this invention possesses more stable naphthalene contaminant remediation characteristics.
[0080] Tables 1-3 show the GC / MS analysis results of the mineralized products from the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater after 36 hours of continued remediation in Example 2. The testing method included: taking the mineralized products from the naphthalene-contaminated wastewater system after 36 hours of continued remediation, performing thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then qualitatively analyzing the products using GC / MS. The samples analyzed by GC / MS were the volatile substances produced by the thermal decomposition of the mineralized products at 50℃, 230℃, and 730℃. The results are shown in Tables 1-3. As can be seen from Tables 1-3, the products after thermal decomposition of the minerals are small-molecule organic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, etc., indicating that naphthalene or its metabolites have undergone degradation in the minerals. Due to the inherent physical properties of naphthalene, under appropriate pyrolysis conditions, pure polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon naphthalene itself cannot undergo thermal decomposition, but will generate naphthalene vapor through volatilization. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results show that no naphthalene vapor is present in the products of mineralization, indicating the absence of volatile naphthalene in the minerals. This demonstrates that the method of this invention allows naphthalene in wastewater to be converted into biomineralized products through encapsulation or degradation, and the naphthalene present in the biomineralized products can be degraded into low-toxicity or non-toxic metabolites. This indicates that the method of this invention not only removes naphthalene from polluted wastewater but also encapsulates naphthalene in a degradable form. The method of this invention facilitates the complete degradation of naphthalene and effectively avoids secondary pollution.
