Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of soil remediation, in particular, to a soil remediation device using microorganisms. BACKGROUND

[0002] Petroleum components are roughly divided into aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, paraffin, resin and asphaltene, and some of the hydrocarbons in petroleum components have been listed as priority pollutants, which are a great threat to human health and environmental health. Petroleum hydrocarbons can diffuse in the medium and be adsorbed to the soil matrix, which has an adverse effect on the biological community and physicochemical properties of the soil. Due to the large area of oil-contaminated soil, the traditional methods of incineration and landfill are too expensive in terms of energy consumption and site cost, and chemical remediation often cannot avoid the problem of secondary pollution, while microbial remediation is concerned due to its cost-effectiveness and ecological friendliness. Soil microbial remediation technology is a remediation technology that uses indigenous microorganisms or artificially domesticated microorganisms with specific functions to reduce the activity of harmful pollutants in the soil or degrade them into harmless substances under suitable environmental conditions. Compared with chemical remediation technology and physical remediation technology, microbial remediation technology has lower application cost, less negative impact on soil fertility and metabolic activity, and can avoid the impact on human health and the environment due to the transfer of pollutants.

[0003] Bioaugmentation can be divided into biological culture method of cultivating indigenous microorganisms and inoculation method of introducing exogenous microorganisms. The biological culture method is to add nutrients and electron acceptors (such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, etc.) to the oil-contaminated soil at regular intervals to meet the growth needs of the original indigenous microorganisms in the soil and improve their degradation capacity of petroleum pollutants. The inoculation method is to introduce the exogenous microorganisms that are directionally selected and domesticated into the oil-contaminated soil and add the nutrients required for their growth, so as to achieve the purpose of soil remediation through the degradation of petroleum pollutants by the exogenous microorganisms.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a soil remediation device using microorganisms, which combines the cultivation of microorganisms with spraying and turning, combines the microorganism cultivation device with a mini-tiller, and performs small-area soil petroleum hydrocarbon pollution remediation. At the same time, it is convenient to transport and operate, and can achieve rapid response. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
