Laboratory simulation studies and a composting pilot study were conducted to evaluate the capacity of three strains of fungi, indigenous fungus Fusarium sp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Coriolus Versicolor, to remediate petroleum-contaminated soils. In laboratory, the fungi were inoculated into a liquidculture medium and the petroleum-contaminated soil samples for incubation of 40 and 50 days 5 respectively. In the 200-day pilot study, nutrient contents and moisture were adjusted and maintained under aerobiccondition in composting units using concrete container (118.5 cm × 65.5 cm × 12.5 cm) designed specially for this study. The laboratory simulation results showed that all the three fungi were effective in degrading petroleum in the liquid culture medium and in the soil. At the end of both the laboratory incubations, the degradation rates by Phanerochaete chrysosporium were the highest, reaching 66% after incubation in liquid culture for 50 days. This was further demonstrated in the composting pilot study where the degradation rate by P. chrysosporium reached 79% within 200 days, higher than those of the other two fungi (53.1% and 46.1%), indicating that P. chrysosporium was the best fungus for bioremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum. Further research is required to increase degradation rate. 相似文献
ABSTRACTThe remediation technologies of soils contaminated with petroleum products are developed in two main directions: the first one encompasses searching for new effective bioagents and the other one explores the ways to activate those microorganisms present in the soil that are capable of degrading oil. The objective of this research was to determine if it is possible to increase the effectiveness of biodegradation of petroleum products by using chemical additives. The soil was supplemented with additives: CuSO4, MnSO4, KMnO4, H2O2, 5% and 10% chemical industry plants sludge, 5% and 10% Stock Company ‘Klaipedos vanduo’ (SC‘KV’) municipal wastewater treatment plants sludge. The data suggest that all the additives statistically significantly stimulated the degradation of diesel fuel (F = 12.01; p = .001) and black oil (F = 9.93; p = .001) compared with the control. It was determined that diesel fuel was degraded the fastest in samples with KMnO4, where efficiency of degradation was 90%, and 88% efficency in samples with 10% chemical industry plants sludge. Black oil was degraded the best in samples, where KMnO4 was added: efficiency of degradation was up to 63%. In the samples with 10% of sewage sludge from chemical industry plant degradation efficiency was 62%. 相似文献
Background. Due to spills, discharges and leakage, the gaswork site at Husarviken in Stockholm is today the largest (36 ha)
creosote-contaminated site in Sweden. The main pollutants are creosote, lead and mercury. The remediation costs are estimated
to be as high as US $125 million. It is thus of great interest to find more cost effective remediation methods. Objectives.
The aim of this study was to investigate i) if the addition of NTA, EDTA, nitrate, iron and dry yeast would enhance the bioremediation
rate of a complex organic pollutant like PAH and, if so, at what concentrations they would be most efficient, ii) the effect
on PAH reduction when larger dimensions of the column is used to diminish the effect of water passing along the sides of the
column, iii) long-term effects on the reduction of PAH in field-contaminated soil with high concentrations.
Materials and Methods Creosote-contaminated soil from the Husarviken gaswork site was treated with aerated water in column experiments at room temperature.
Three column experiments were performed in 2 and 100 L of homogenised soil samples percolated by recircula ting flushing water.
Fluoranthene was analysed as a representative of the overall degradation of PAH in the columns.
Results and Discussion The PAH concentration (total 16 Priority USEPA PAH) was reduced from 129 mg/kg to at most 33 mg/kg in the 2-litre columns.
A total of four PAH in the soil were reduced from 1330 mg/kg to about 400 mg/kg in the 100-litre columns. Generally, a 70%
reduction of PAH concentration can be achieved by bioremediation technology. The transformation and/or degradation of fluoranthene
were fast at the beginning of the experiment and then gradually slowed down. This mirrors the impact of the bioavailable fluoranthene,
which is initially large, but reaches zero after 200 days.
Conclusions A simulation model using the fluoranthene data shows that the effectiveness of PAH degradation is, above all, dependent on
the bioavailability of PAH. A reduction of 70% of PAH in the soil is applicable to soil containing <200 mg/kg to meet the
Swedish recommendations of 60 mg/kg. At Husarviken, soil with <200 mg/kg corresponds to 80% of the polluted area. 相似文献
Oil hydrocarbons are widespread pollutants in soil which pose serious threats to ecological environment. Thus, this study carried out the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil by using the efficient petroleum-degrading bacteria and soil conditioner, to investigate the changes of physicochemical properties of contaminated soil during bioremediation, reveal the relationship among the exogenous degradation strains and indigenous microbe, and finally illuminate the effects of soil conditioner and microbe on the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil.
Materials and methods
A PAH-degrading strain named Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was used in this study, which was isolated from an e-waste dismantling area. The soil conditioner in this present study was developed previously by using agricultural wastes, which was in a powdered form and rich in N, P, and K. The simulated experiments were conducted under the control environmental conditions of greenhouse, to study the effects of inoculation and soil conditioner on bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil. Then, the physicochemical properties of soil and the degradation rates of oil were measured at different set times to evaluate the bioremediation effect.
Results and discussion
Adding 1% soil conditioner could significantly improve the soil conditions and offer microorganism enough N, P, and K, which would promote microbial growth and played a key role on bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil. Although in polluted soil, the microorganism could maintain metabolic activity and use the petroleum as carbon source. The soil indigenous microbe was more easily to adapt to the contaminated surrounding. However, when both of them co-existed in soil, they would restrain each other, and go against the oil decomposition. Thus, making two types of microorganisms work to achieve synergy was the key to gain much better remediation effect. Because the indigenous microbe was good at decomposing low molecular compounds and saturated hydrocarbons, while the oil-degrading strains can effectively decompose high molecular weight aromatics.
Conclusions
The soil nutrient and microorganism, including the exogenous oil-degrading strains and the soil indigenous microbe, had an important effect on degradation of petroleum. The addition of soil conditioner, presence of indigenous microbe, and inoculation of oil-degrading strains all were conducive to bioremediation of oil-contaminated site, but the key was to control the proportion and relationship of the three.
The effects of copper pollution on the soil fungal flora was investigated. Soils treated with 100, 200, 400, 800 or 1600 μg Cu g?1 were used for experiments to study changes in fungal populations, especially the development and dominance of copper-tolerant fungi. Fungi were sampled 1, 3 and 5 months after copper treatment.All the correlation coefficients between the copper contents and the number of fungal colonies plated were positive. The higher the copper concentration in soil, the more 1000 μ Cu ml?1 tolerant fungi were isolated. The relative number of 1000 μg Cu mr?1 tolerant fungi from the soil treated with 1600 μg Cu g?1 was about 30% of those of the control 14 days after treatment. Within the limits of this experiment, the increase in fungal populations was directly correlated with the increase of dominant Cu-tolerant fungi.From control soils, containing low quantities of copper, 1000 μg Cu ml?1 tolerant fungi were also isolated; whereas, from soils containing high amounts of copper, some Cu-sensitive fungi were isolated. Most of the 1000 μg Cu ml?1 tolerant fungi were Penicillium spp. It was concluded that the genus Penicillium may be dominant in soils polluted with copper. 相似文献
