Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microbial engineering, and in particular relates to Burkholderia HSY-3 and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, uranium mining and smelting mainly adopt three production processes: acid leaching, neutral leaching and alkaline leaching. Microbial remediation technology is used to carry out in-situ remediation of the mobile and diffusible uranium in the seepage water / groundwater of the natural radioactive waste generated by different production processes. Recent studies have confirmed that there is a close interaction between microorganisms and uranium. Through the adsorption of surface groups of microbial cells, the release of electrons from intracellular and extracellular polymers, and the mineralization of biological metabolites, various complex microbial remediation functions can make uranium from mobile U 6+ Converted to stable U 4+ , thus achieving in-situ remediation of uranium. However, for the seepage water / groundwater in the natural radioactive waste generated by uranium mines, due to the complex ion environment and exposure to radionuclides, traditional microbial agents may not be able to survive directly in the current system, resulting in the microbial remediation effect failing to meet expectations. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a Burkholderia sp. HSY-3, which was deposited in the General Microbiological Center of China National Microbiological Culture Collection Committee on January 26, 2024. The address is No. 3, Yard No. 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and the deposit number is CGMCC NO.29789.

[0004] The present invention also provides a bacterial agent, wherein the bacterial agent components include the above-mentioned Burkholderia HSY-3.

[0005] On the other hand, the present invention provides the use of Burkholderia HSY-3 in uranium mine pollution control.

[0006] The present invention also provides application of the above-mentioned bacterial agent in uranium mine pollution control.

[0007] The present invention also provides a method for treating uranium mine pollution, wherein Burkholderia HSY-3 or the above-mentioned bacterial agent is injected into the uranium mine seepage water or groundwater to be repaired at an inoculation rate of 1 to 10%, and a corresponding microbial culture system is simultaneously constructed. After the injection process is completed, the corresponding repair effect can be achieved under static conditions.

[0008] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The current lime neutralization technology is easily corroded and dissolved under the long-term natural environment, and the repair effect is unstable. Although the repair effect of reverse osmosis and other technologies is good, the cost is high. The microbial remediation technology provided by the present invention can significantly reduce the repair cost, while restoring the activity of the microbial community, providing long-term environmental stability and environmental resistance.

[0017] The words “include,” “including,” “have,” “contain,” etc. used in this document are open-ended terms, meaning including but not limited to.

[0018] Example 1 Microbial screening and culture system

[0019] The screening culture system components of Burkholderia HSY-3 in the present invention are: 3-3.5g of ferric citrate, 0.5-1g of ammonium chloride, 0.02-0.05g of calcium chloride, 0.3-0.5g of magnesium sulfate, 0.3-0.5g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.1-0.2g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 5-10g of glucose, pH 6.8-7.2, and 1000mL of distilled water.

[0020] When the Burkholderia HSY-3 of the present invention is cultured in the culture system, the microorganism can grow stably at a temperature of 20 to 35° C. and under static conditions, and the preparation of the microbial agent can be completed after 3 to 5 days of culture.

[0021] Example 2 Bacteria domestication and cultivation

[0022] According to the main characteristic indicators of seepage water / groundwater in different uranium mines, especially in neutral / weakly acidic environments, pH value and U concentration were selected as the initial acclimation conditions. Taking the seepage water of a uranium mine in the south as an example, according to the main water quality characteristics of the seepage water, pH value is 6.0-7.5, U concentration is 0.5-2.0 mg / L, the functional microbial strains obtained by separation and screening were gradually acclimated to pH value and U concentration. For pH value, the pH value was set to 6.0 in the culture system. Under the condition of pH value 6.0, the number of viable cells of the microorganism reached 10 7 CFU / mL, take 1% of the bacterial agent and inoculate it into the next system. After the pH value is increased by 0.5 to 6.5, it is judged again that the number of viable cells of the microorganism reaches 10 7 CFU / mL, until the acclimation is completed in a pH 7.5 environment. At the same time, the U concentration also adopts this gradient acclimation method, with the initial uranium concentration of 0.5 mg / L gradually increasing from 0.5 mg / L to 2.0 mg / L. Finally, a microbial agent with tolerance to mine groundwater was obtained.

[0023] Example 3 In-situ repair

[0024] According to the pollution level, different microbial agents developed are injected into the uranium mine seepage water / groundwater to be repaired at an inoculation rate of 1-10%, and a corresponding microbial culture system is constructed at the same time. After the injection process is completed, the corresponding repair effect can be achieved under static conditions.

[0025] For the seepage water of uranium tailings reservoir of a hard rock uranium mine in southern my country, its water quality characteristics are pH value of 6.85 and uranium concentration of 0.5mg / L, which belongs to the general pollution level. Based on the water quality characteristics, when the microbial agent described in the present invention is used for in-situ remediation, the microbial agent obtained after domestication is inoculated into 10L of seepage water at a 1% inoculation amount, and the room temperature static remediation method is adopted. After 5 days of remediation at room temperature of 25-30℃, the number of microorganisms growing in the seepage water is significantly increased, the pH shows an upward trend, and the uranium concentration is reduced to the expected level. The results show that the microbial agent described in the present invention has significant tolerance and remediation ability for uranium mine seepage water.

[0026] Example 4 Results Analysis

[0027] 15d growth status and corresponding repair effect Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the bacteria provided by the present invention have produced relatively significant results in the uranium pollution control method.

[0028] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
