This invention relates to the field of environmental
microbiology, specifically disclosing an autotrophic denitrifying
bacterial agent and its preparation method. This autotrophic denitrifying
bacterial agent employs a three-layer
biomimetic design: a
sulfur-
calcium composite core, an inner shell gel layer, and an outer functional layer. Denitrifying
Thiobacillus is loaded into the core, and
Pseudomonas schlegelii is fixed in the outer layer, with a
sodium alginate-
xanthan gum gel layer providing physical isolation, achieving spatial partitioning and
symbiosis of autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrifying bacterial communities. The
sulfur-
calcium composite core uses
sulfur powder as an
electron donor, and hydrophobically modified
eggshell powder supplements
alkalinity in situ. The inner shell layer incorporates ultrafine
calcium carbonate, providing both mechanical reinforcement and
pH buffering functions. The outer layer encapsulates
sodium acetate-
stearate microspheres for slow
carbon source release. This autotrophic denitrifying
bacterial agent exhibits high
denitrification efficiency,
pH stability, and strong resistance to hydraulic shearing under low carbon-to-
nitrogen ratio conditions. The preparation process is mild, and the raw materials are inexpensive and readily available, making it suitable for deep
denitrification in
wastewater treatment and other scenarios.
