Abstract:
The treatment of uraniumbearing wastewater from uranium mine and using microorganism to treat wastewater were paid much attention to environmental researchers. Based on column experiments, we investigated the potential using sulfate reducing bacteria(SRB) and zerovalent iron(ZVI) to synergetic treat contamination in wastewater such as sulfate, uranium, etc. SRB+ZVI can effectively remove contamination U(Ⅵ) and SO2-4 in wastewater. The removal rate is 99.4% and 86.2% for U(Ⅵ) and SO2-4, respectively. The pH of wastewater can be basified to neutral. U(Ⅵ) and SO2-4 as electron acceptor of sulfate reducing bacteria are removed by biological reduction. The corrosion of ZVI is benefit to enhance the pH of wastewater, forms anaerobic reducing environment, strengthens survival and metabolism reaction of SRB, and plays a synergetic enhancement.
