Bioaugmentation and vermicompost facilitated the hydrocarbon bioremediation: scaling up from lab to field for petroleum-contaminated soils

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Abstract The biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in soil is very challenging due to the complex recalcitrant nature hydrocarbon, hydrophobicity, indigenous microbial adaptation and competition, harsh environmental conditions. This work further confirmed that limited natural attenuation hydrocarbons (TPHs) (15% removal) necessitates efficient bioremediation strategies. Hence, a scaling-up experiment for testing optimizing use biopiles TPH polluted soils was conducted with three 500-kg pilots soil, respective treatments were implemented: including control (CT), bioaugmentation vermicompost treatment (BAVC), combined application BAVC along bioelectrochemical snorkels (BESBAVC), all maintained at 40% field capacity. study identified pilot scale level, successful can achieve 90.3% removal after 90 days. BAVC’s effectiveness stemmed from synergistic mechanisms. Introduced consortia capable degradation, while provided essential nutrients, enhanced aeration, and, potentially, acted as biosorbent. it be concluded significantly enhances compared attenuation. While snorkel (BES) also showed significant removal, did not differ statistically individual BAVC, under applied Further research needed optimize BES integration broader applicability. demonstrates scalable mechanistically sound approach soil.

A review of the effects of pharmaceutical pollutants on humans and aquatic ecosystem

Опубликована: Авг. 28, 2024

The presence of high-quality water is essential not only for human survival but also the well-being plants and animals. This research aimed to examine studies investigating occurrence antibiotics, endocrine disruptors, other pharmaceutical products in water, sediments, organisms within aquatic ecosystems. These substances have been linked numerous adverse health effects on both humans life, including reproductive issues neurotoxic effects. pervasive utilization antibiotics medical agricultural domains has precipitated their ascension as formidable environmental contaminants. Effluents discharged from industries constitute significant contributors ecosystems’ contamination with antibiotics. pharmacological agents permeate diverse niches, spanning groundwater, surface soils, wastewater treatment facilities, exhibiting concentrations ranging nanograms grams per liter. Concurrently, indiscriminate excessive application worldwide engendered escalating apprehensions pertaining antimicrobial resistance—a global exigency. review delves into impact pollutants environments, particularly endocrine-disrupting compounds. Analysis River Taff Ely reveals a consistent discharge approximately 6 kilograms pharmaceuticals day. study examines particular pharmaceuticals, such diethylstilbestrol (DES), chlorotriazines, chloroquine, antineoplastic drugs, elucidating varied cycles. Pharmaceutical ecosystems, originating sources like wastewater, agriculture, improper disposal, persist adversely affect through bioaccumulation biomagnification. contaminants pose ecological risks, necessitating effective mitigation strategies.

Degradation of X-Ray Contrast Media in Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors

Water, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(2), С. 188 - 188

Опубликована: Янв. 11, 2025

The presence of pharmaceutical compounds, including iodinated contrast media (ICM), in aquatic systems poses significant ecological and health risks due to their biological activity at low concentrations. This study investigated the removal efficiency three selected ICM—diatrizoate, iohexol, iodipamide—from synthetic hospital wastewater using anaerobic membrane bioreactors (MBRs) operated varying sludge ages 40, 70, 100 days. results indicated that performance MBRs removing organic compounds improved with increased age. Diatrizoate exhibited highest efficiency, achieving 72% a age 40 days nearly 90% 70 days, no substantial differences between two higher ages. In contrast, iohexol iodipamide demonstrated relatively inconsistent efficiencies, reaching maximum 40%, observable dependency on findings underscore importance optimizing treatment processes for effective ICM removal.

Recently, an increasing number of research in the field water and sewage management concerns issues related to pollution aquatic environment with micropollutants from groups endocrine-active EDA/EDC compounds those referred as "emerging contaminants ECs or CECs (contaminants emerging concern) - pollutants" newly appearing causing concern". These are not mutually exclusive it is possible distinguish among them such chemical compounds, which due their properties classified into three mentioned groups. This paper presents overview literature data concerning identified organic environment. The problem occurrence pollutants anthropogenic origin waters valid increase so far did there were no analytical possibilities detect them. important point view impact on biocenosis well potential contamination population's drinking supply.

Unveiling the capacity of bioaugmentation application, in comparison with biochar and rhamnolipid for TPHs degradation in aged hydrocarbons polluted soil

Environmental Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 252, С. 118880 - 118880

Опубликована: Апрель 4, 2024

Persistent, aged hydrocarbons in soil hinder remediation, posing a significant environmental threat. While bioremediation offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach, its efficacy for complex contaminants relies on enhancing pollutant bioavailability. This study explores the potential of immobilized bacterial consortia combined with biochar rhamnolipids to accelerate total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)-contaminated soil. Previous research indicates that biosurfactants can increase rates, while mixed offer sequential degradation higher mineralization. The present investigation aimed assess whether combining these strategies could further enhance aged, matrices. bioaugmentation (BA) consortium increased TPHs (over 20% compared natural attenuation - NA). However, co-application BA rhamnolipid did not show statistically prominent synergistic effect. application facilitated maintenance degrading soil, identify direct influence degradation. contaminated contributed adsorption. Rhamnolipid alone slightly biodegradation NA, treatment between 27.5-29.8%. These findings encourage exploration amendment, like rhamnolipid, remediating diverse matrices hydrocarbons.
