7 results about "Selenium pollution" patented technology

In high concentrations, selenium acts as an environmental contaminant. Sources of pollution include waste materials from certain mining, agricultural, petrochemical, and industrial manufacturing operations. In Belews Lake North Carolina, 19 species of fish were eliminated from the lake due to 150-200 μg Se/L wastewater discharged from 1974 to 1986 from a Duke Energy coal-fired power plant. At the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge in California, thousands of fish and waterbirds were poisoned by selenium in agricultural irrigation drainage.

Ensifer morelensis R2-120 and application thereof

The invention relates to the technical field of microbiology and selenium polluted environment restoration, and provides an ensifer morelensis R2-120 strain and an application thereof. The bacterial strain R2-120 is ensifer morelensis capable of efficiently synthesizing volatile selenium, and the preservation number of the bacterial strain R2-120 is GDMCC No: 63730. The strain R2-120 has relatively strong tolerance to selenate and selenite, and a plate test shows that the R2-120 can tolerate at least 200 mM of selenate and 60 mM of selenite. The strain R2-120 can metabolize selenite and convert the selenite into nano-selenium, and can convert the selenite and the nano-selenium into volatile selenium. The invention also establishes a method for removing selenium in the water body by using R2-120 in the bioreactor, and the method can be used for bioremediation of selenium-polluted water body and soil, treatment of selenium-containing wastewater and recycling of selenium, and has a wide application prospect.

A NiO / FeO supported zinc sulfide composite material, its preparation method and application

PendingCN122352189AFreeze-dryingHigh surface
This invention discloses a Ni 0 / Fe 0 This invention relates to zinc sulfide-loaded composite materials, their preparation methods, and applications, belonging to the field of environmental functional nanomaterials. The preparation method includes: dissolving zinc and sulfur precursors in a solvent to obtain ZnS nanosheets via a hydrothermal method; dispersing ZnS, iron, and nickel precursors in deionized water to form a mixed dispersion under an inert atmosphere; and adding sodium borohydride solution dropwise to the mixed dispersion to allow Ni to... 2+ and Fe 2+ In-situ reduction was performed on the zinc sulfide surface; after the reaction was completed, Ni was obtained through solid-liquid separation, washing, and freeze-drying. 0 / Fe 0 -ZnS composite material. This material can reduce Ni 0 and Fe 0 The aggregation of particles increases the exposure of surface active sites, and through the sulfur sites on the ZnS surface, the reduction activity of zero-valent metals and the bimetallic electron transfer effect, it can achieve the adsorption, reduction and fixation of uranium and selenium pollutants, which is suitable for the treatment of selenium-containing water bodies and water bodies with uranium and selenium coexistence.

Preparation method and application of iron-modified malus micromalus crispus charcoal based on malus micromalus crispus waste

The application discloses a preparation method of iron modified malus micromalus crabapple biochar based on malus micromalus crabapple waste and application thereof. The preparation method of the malus micromalus crabapple iron modified biochar comprises two steps of carbonization and modification. The malus micromalus crabapple litter waste is subjected to oxygen-limited heating carbonization to prepare carbonized materials, and then is subjected to acid pickling and iron modification to prepare the iron modified malus micromalus crabapple biochar. The prepared biochar has high adsorption capacity for selenium in water, has the function of holding selenium in selenium-rich soil, can simultaneously passivate harmful heavy metals in soil, and has the functions of controlling the release of selenium in water and improving soil quality. The application not only provides a new way for resource utilization of the malus micromalus crabapple litter, but also provides an efficient technology for water selenium pollution treatment, soil selenium holding and heavy metal soil fixation, and achieves the effect of turning waste into treasure.

Systems and methods for biological transformation, concentration, and recovery of selenium from wastewater

ActiveUS12600654B2Waste water treatment from quariesWaste water treatment from ceramic industriesMicroorganismBiochemical engineering
The present invention relates to methods for biological wastewater treatment for Se control in Se-laden wastewater. The Se contaminants in the wastewater include the Se oxyanions selenate (SeO42−) and selenite (HSeO3−), which are biochemically reduced and transformed to elemental selenium (Se0) by microorganisms through anaerobic biological reduction. The resulting Se0 is entrained in the biomass, which is further processed to enable the efficient recovery of concentrated Se0.
