Bioleaching of heavy metals from contaminated alkaline sediment by auto-and heterotrophic bacteria in a stirred tank reactor
This study deals with bioremediation treatments of Xiangjiang River alkaline sediment contaminated by multiple metals with the mixed culture of auto-and heterotrophic bacteria. Bioleaching resulted in removal of heavy metals at relatively high levels, the efficiency of Zn, Mn, Cu and Cd was 95. 2% 94. 2% 90. 1% and 84. 4% , respectively. By contrast, the efficiency of As, Hg and Pb was 26. 0% , 15. 9% , 19. 9% , respectively. Analysis of the changes in fraction of heavy metals before and after bioleaching by selective sequential extraction demonstrated that distribution of the metal fractions varied widely in the original sediment, and they were mainly bound to organic associated forms and residual forms after bioleaching. Moreover, the community structure of the leachate and sediment was largely different. The results create new perspectives for the bioremediation technology that can remove heavy metals from highly contaminated sediments.
