Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial remediation and relates to a microbial consortium for degrading acrylonitrile and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Acrylonitrile is the most important monomer in the production of the three major industrial synthetic materials. At the same time, acrylonitrile is also a toxic substance with carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and teratogenicity. With the annual growth of acrylonitrile demand and production in my country, the problem of acrylonitrile wastewater discharge is becoming more and more serious. If it is not effectively treated, it will cause serious pollution to the environment and seriously endanger human health. Acrylonitrile wastewater is a high-concentration organic wastewater that is difficult to degrade. How to effectively treat it has always been a problem for acrylonitrile companies.

[0003] Incineration, biological treatment and oxidation are usually used for acrylonitrile wastewater. Incineration is difficult to completely burn acrylonitrile wastewater, and a large amount of fuel needs to be added for combustion. The overall cost of this method is too high, the resource consumption is large, and the economic benefits are very low. Commonly used oxidation methods include ozone catalytic oxidation, electrocatalytic oxidation, photocatalysis, Fenton oxidation, etc., all of which are difficult to apply industrially due to secondary pollution and cost issues.

[0004] Compared with combustion and oxidation methods, biological treatment has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, low treatment energy consumption, and less secondary pollution. However, because the composition of acrylonitrile wastewater is complex and most pollutants are biologically toxic, they may have a greater impact on microorganisms, making the treatment effect unstable. Summary of the invention

[0017] The fermentation broth is compounded, or further concentrated or dried as required to prepare a microbial consortium.

[0018] The microbial alliance of the present invention mainly utilizes the synergistic effect of five degradation bacteria to remove acrylonitrile organic matter, thereby providing an efficient, economical and environmentally friendly acrylonitrile wastewater and waste gas treatment method.

[0019] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the microbial consortium for degrading acrylonitrile of the present invention is formed by uniformly mixing the fermentation broths of five bacterial species, namely, Burkholderia parasitica NEAU-SY24, Burkholderia zhejiangensis OP-1T, Comamonas terrestris AS1P, Oligotrophomonas acidophilus X-2, and Trichoderma koningii SMF2, with the ratio of the number of live bacteria being 3:1:1:1:1, and the OD600 in the bacterial agent reaches 1.5.
