This invention provides *Achromobacterium* and its inoculum, and their application in
constructed wetland treatment of
thallium-containing
wastewater. The *Achromobacterium* strain is *Achromobacterium* QBM-4, deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), accession number: CCTCC NO: M20211051, deposit date: August 18, 2021. The inoculum is obtained by
fermentation of *Achromobacterium*. This invention utilizes this strain to catalyze the in-situ generation of "bio-derived
manganese oxide (Bio-MnOx)" within a
wetland system, achieving selective fixation of
thallium. This results in a removal rate of >99% for low-concentration
thallium-containing
wastewater with extremely low operating costs, while simultaneously meeting the requirements of economy, high efficiency, and stability. It can be applied to the treatment of thallium-containing
wastewater in constructed wetlands.
