Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial hazardous waste treatment technology, specifically the application of microbial compositions in industrial hazardous waste treatment. Background Technology

[0002] The ultimate goal of industrial hazardous waste treatment is harmlessness, volume reduction, and resource recovery. Current methods for industrial hazardous waste treatment include landfill, incineration, pulverization, biological treatment, and various chemical methods. Among these, biological treatment, which utilizes microorganisms to decompose industrial hazardous waste, has long attracted considerable attention from researchers due to its advantages such as low cost, environmental friendliness, and lack of secondary pollution. In the manufacturing processes of industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and new materials, the generated waste is complex in composition, often containing complex organic compounds and many substances that are difficult to biodegrade, such as various reactor bottom residues, distillation residues after solvent recovery, and waste activated carbon used for adsorption and separation. The treatment of these hazardous wastes is not only technically challenging but also costly, placing a heavy economic and environmental burden on related enterprises.

[0003] Heavy hazardous wastes, such as waste batteries, municipal solid waste incineration fly ash, and degraded catalysts, are highly alkaline solid oxides or hydroxides. Valuable metals in these wastes strongly consume H+ ions during bioleaching, leading to persistently high pH levels in the leachate. This negatively impacts the growth and activity of acidophilic autotrophic bacteria in the leachate. It is evident that under high solid-liquid ratio conditions, the leachate pH is even higher, and the growth and activity of acidophilic autotrophic bacteria are even lower. Therefore, bioleaching technology's capacity to treat heavy hazardous wastes is significantly reduced and treatment costs are significantly increased under high solid-liquid ratios, resulting in low leachating efficiency. Furthermore, highly toxic organic or inorganic substances in heavy hazardous wastes, such as high concentrations of fluoride ions and lithium hexafluorophosphate, can also endanger the growth of the working bacteria, potentially leading to the cessation of the bioleaching process. Due to these factors, the significantly reduced capacity and increased costs of bioleaching technology for treating heavy hazardous wastes under high solid-liquid ratios pose a major obstacle to the practical application of this technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide the application of microbial compositions in the treatment of industrial hazardous waste, which can maintain the pH stability required by acidophilic thiobacilli during the treatment of industrial hazardous waste and improve the hydrophobicity of the cell membrane surface of the composite acidophilic thiobacilli.

[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] The application of microbial compositions in the treatment of industrial hazardous waste includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Collect industrial hazardous waste, pre-treat the industrial hazardous waste to obtain hazardous waste material; fill the hazardous waste material into a fermentation tank;

[0008] S2. The compound acidophilic thiobacillus is subjected to pH adaptation in a culture medium to obtain bacterial cells that can still maintain sulfur oxidation activity under pH conditions of 3.5-5.0. A growth medium containing inorganic salts and a sulfur source is added to a bioreactor. The pH of the growth medium is lowered to 2.0-3.0 using FeSO4·7H2O. The adapted bacterial solution is inoculated into the bioreactor for large-scale culture and cultured for 4-5 days under stirring conditions of 30-50℃ and 120-170rpm. The compound acidophilic thiobacillus enters the logarithmic growth phase and the pH drops below 2.0 to obtain the fermentation material of compound acidophilic thiobacillus.

[0009] S3. Add the biosurfactant to the fermentation material of the composite acidophilic thiobacillus, stir evenly, and obtain the composite acidophilic thiobacillus with hydrophobic modification of cell membrane surface.

[0010] S4. Dilute the hazardous waste material with distilled water to a solid concentration of 10% by mass, and then add an acidic pH buffer solution to obtain the material to be treated;

[0011] S5. The bacterial culture of the hydrophobically modified composite acidophilic thiobacillus obtained in step S3 is inoculated into the fermentation tank. Then, the sulfur source is added as an energy source for cultivation. The culture is rapidly and evenly mixed in the fermentation tank to ensure that the material to be treated can fully and evenly contact and ferment with the hydrophobically modified composite acidophilic thiobacillus. After fermentation, the industrial hazardous waste is effectively treated. Further, the sulfur source includes elemental sulfur or sulfide minerals, and the sulfide minerals include at least one of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and arsenopyrite.

[0012] Further, in step S2, the composite acidophilic thiobacillus is a mixed flora of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans.

[0013] Further, in step S2, the inorganic salt components of the growth medium, by mass concentration, include: 0.5-2.0 g / L KNO3, 0.5-2.0 g / L NaCl, 0.5-2.0 g / L MgSO4·7H2O, 0.25-1.0 g / L CaCl2, with the balance being water.

[0014] Further, in step S2, the acidic pH buffer solution is a potassium chloride hydrochloric acid buffer solution with a pH buffer range of 1.0-2.2.

[0015] Further, the preparation steps of the potassium chloride hydrochloric acid buffer solution according to a volume of 100 mL are as follows: 37.64 mL of 0.1 mol / L HCl and 31.02 mL of 0.02 mol / L KCl solution are mixed and then diluted to 100 mL.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S5, the inoculum concentration is 5%-20% (v / v), the fermentation temperature is 25 to 35°C, and the treatment time is 30 hours.

[0017] Further, in step S3, the preparation method of the biosurfactant is as follows: prepare a growth medium and a fermentation medium for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027), inoculate the Pseudomonas aeruginosa into the growth medium to obtain a Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture, inoculate the Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture into the fermentation medium to produce the biosurfactant, which is then separated and purified.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S1, the industrial hazardous waste is pretreated by one of the following methods: direct crushing, crushing after separation, or drying and crushing after separation.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention provides the application of a microbial composition in the treatment of industrial hazardous waste. In step S4, an acidic pH buffer solution is added to maintain the pH stability required by *Thiobacillus acidophilus* during the treatment of industrial hazardous waste, thus maintaining the growth and activity of *Thiobacillus acidophilus*. Furthermore, the inorganic salts in the culture medium are acidic salts, and *Thiobacillus acidophilus* will also generate hydrogen ions after utilizing the sulfur source, neutralizing the highly alkaline oxides or hydroxides contained in the hazardous waste material and maintaining an acidic environment. In step S3, a biosurfactant is added to the fermentation material of the composite *Thiobacillus acidophilus* and stirred evenly to obtain a composite *Thiobacillus acidophilus* with a hydrophobic modification of the cell membrane surface. The biosurfactant enhances the hydrophobic modification of the cell membrane surface of the composite *Thiobacillus acidophilus*, resulting in a better cell membrane surface. This allows the cell membrane to maintain stability in an acidic environment, preventing disintegration and facilitating the adsorption of *Thiobacillus acidophilus* onto the hazardous waste material, thereby improving the degradation capacity of *Thiobacillus acidophilus* for hazardous waste. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0022] Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 was purchased from the Guangdong Institute of Microbiology. The culture was kept in test tubes with solid nutrient agar at 4°C.

[0023] Acid adaptation mechanism of acidophilic bacteria

[0024] Acidophiles thrive in acidic environments, and their cell membranes are their only physical barrier against external H+ ions. Therefore, the low H+ permeability of the cell membrane is likely the primary mechanism by which they maintain their internal pH. Recent studies have shown that lipids on the cell membrane play a crucial role in this process. Research has revealed that liposomes extracted from the cell membranes of these acidophiles cannot form regular vesicle structures at pH 7.0, but can at pH 3.0 and 4.0, exhibiting extremely low H+ permeability. However, these liposome structures become porous at pH 7.0. Thus, acidophiles not only adapt well to acidic environments but also require them to ensure cell membrane stability and cellular integrity.

[0025] Most acidophilic bacteria are chemoautotrophs. Examples of extreme acidophiles include archaea such as *Thiopyroxene* and *Mycoplasma thermophila*, and eubacteria such as *Thiobacillus thiooxidans* and *Thiobacillus ferrooxidans*. *Mycoplasma thermophila* and *Thiopyroxene* are extreme thermophilic acidophilic archaea, found in coal piles and acidic hot springs. Their optimal growth pH is 0.8–3 and 1–5.5, respectively. *Thiobacillus thiooxidans* and *Thiobacillus ferrooxidans* have optimal growth pH of 2–5 and 1.5–4, respectively, and are commonly found in acidic wastewater containing sulfuric acid, coal mines, acidic mineral water, or acidic spring water. *Thiobacillus thiooxidans* and *Thiobacillus ferrooxidans* are Gram-negative, aerobic chemoautotrophs. The ATP and [H] required for CO2 reduction are obtained by oxidizing elemental sulfur to sulfuric acid, simultaneously lowering the environmental pH to 1–1.5. However, their internal pH is 6–6.5, and the optimal pH for their ATPase is 7.5–7.8. Furthermore, *Thiobacillus thiooxidans* cannot oxidize Fe. 2+ Ferrous thiobacillus can oxidize Fe. 2+ . Example 1
