Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater biological treatment, and specifically relates to shale gas fracturing flowback fluid degradation bacteria and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas that exists in dark mud shale or high-carbon mud shale and exists mainly in adsorption or free state. It has the advantages of cleanliness, high efficiency and long production life. The technically recoverable shale gas resources in my country are 36.1 trillion m 3 The development of shale gas will help reduce my country's dependence on imported energy, promote the optimization of energy structure, increase the proportion of natural gas in energy consumption, and achieve sustainable development goals.
[0003] The hydraulic fracturing technology used in the shale gas mining process can release the methane in the shale layer to the surface, but it will also produce a large amount of flowback fluid. Shale gas flowback fluid contains substances such as alkanes, aromatics, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters and ketones, and has the characteristics of high organic matter concentration, complex composition, high salinity and poor biodegradability. For shale gas flowback fluid, the commonly used treatment methods are physical treatment, chemical treatment and biological treatment, among which biological treatment is a green and economical treatment method for shale gas flowback fluid. However, the biodegradability of the flowback fluid is extremely low, the salinity is high, and it contains a large amount of toxic and harmful substances, resulting in low efficiency of conventional biotechnology. Therefore, screening a high-efficiency degradation bacteria suitable for treating shale gas flowback fluid can greatly enhance the application potential of shale gas flowback water biological treatment technology, which is of great significance for serving the green development of the shale gas industry.

[0019] Example 1
[0020] This example screens shale gas fracturing flowback fluid degradation bacteria, specifically as follows:
[0021] Take 200 ml of shale gas fracturing flowback fluid in a sterilized conical bottle, seal it and culture it in a shaker at 35°C and 140 rpm for 4-6 hours. -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 Perform serial dilutions and take 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 100 μL of each of the three gradients was spread on the solid LB medium and cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 30-35°C. The single colony with faster growth on the solid LB medium was picked and placed in 4 mL of liquid LB medium for shaking culture. After 8 hours, the bacterial liquid was dipped and streaked on the solid LB medium for separation. This operation was repeated 4-6 times until a pure single colony was obtained.
[0022] The isolated single colony strain was enriched and cultured and then sent to Shanghai Biotechnology Company for strain identification. The 16SrRNA gene sequence of the strain was used to build a phylogenetic tree using the MEGA program. The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown. Physiological and biochemical identification was performed with reference to the "Common Bacteria System Identification Manual", and the strain was finally identified to the genus. The results showed that the strain was Bacillus, and the similarity with Bacillus velezensis strain YEBBR6 was 99.86%. The obtained strain was named Bacillus velezensis Z21-1.
[0023] The growth curve of Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 in LB liquid medium is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the stable phase was reached at 8 hours, and the generation time was 1.3 hours. The colony morphology of the above-mentioned Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 was observed using a stereo microscope. Figure 3 a. As can be seen from the figure, the colony is milky white, round, slightly convex, sticky, wrinkled, and has irregular edges.
[0024] The morphology of the above-mentioned Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 was observed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Figure 3 b. Figure 3 c. Figure 3 d. As can be seen from the figure, the bacteria are rod-shaped. By performing Gram staining on the strain, it was determined that the bacteria are Gram-positive.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] In this example, Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 obtained by screening in Example 1 was used to degrade TOC in rock gas fracturing flowback fluid, as follows:
[0027] 1) Pick a single colony of Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 on the solid culture medium and place it in LB liquid culture medium, and shake it in a shaker at 35°C and 140 rpm for 8-12 hours. Centrifuge the culture medium at 11000 rpm for 3 minutes, discard the supernatant, and rinse the lower layer with sterilized PBS buffer. Repeat 3 times and adjust the OD 600 To 0.6-0.8 as inoculum solution.
[0028] 2) Take two 100mL portions of shale gas fracturing flowback fluid with a TOC concentration of 450mg / L, the total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water is about 30000mg / L, and Cl - The concentration is about 20000mg / L, BOD 5 / COD is less than 0.1. The components of the shale gas fracturing flowback fluid used include alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters and ketones. Among them, the relative content of branched alkanes and cyclic alkanes is relatively high.
[0029] One portion was inoculated with 1 mL of bacterial solution as the experimental group, and the other portion was not inoculated as the control group. The pH was adjusted to 6-8 and the cells were placed in a shaker at 35°C and 140 rpm for shaking culture.
[0030] 3) The TOC concentration of the experimental group and the control group was measured by TOC analyzer. It was found that the TOC degradation effect of the experimental group was better than that of the control group in the same period of time. The specific results are as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0031] According to the results, the shale gas fracturing flowback fluid degradation bacteria Bacillus velezensis Z21-1 screened in the example can adapt to the shale gas fracturing flowback fluid environment, and the TOC degradation rate reaches 52% on the 8th day.
