Microbial flocs formed from raw textile wastewater in a prototype Aerobic Biofilm Reactor (ABR) system were characterised and studied for their potential use in the treatment of textile wastewater. After 90-100 days of operation, microbial flocs of loose irregular structures were obtained from the reactor with good settling velocity of 33 m/h and sludge volume index (SVI) of 48.2 mL/g. Molecular analysis of the flocs using PCR-amplified 16S rDNA sequence showed 98% homology to those of Bacillus sp, Paenibacillus sp and Acromobacter sp. Detection of Ca(2+)(131 mg/g) and Fe(2+)(131 mg/g) using atomic absorption spectrometer might be implicated with the flocs formation. In addition, presence of Co(2+) and Ni(2+) were indicative of the flocs ability to accumulate at least a fraction of the metals' present in the wastewater. When the flocs were used for the treatment of raw textile wastewater, they showed good removal of COD and colour about 55% and 70% respectively, indicating their potential application.
对原型好氧生物膜反应器(ABR)系统中由纺织原废水形成的微生物絮体进行了表征,并研究了其在纺织废水处理中的潜在用途。运行90 - 100天后,从反应器中获得了结构松散不规则的微生物絮体,其沉降速度良好,为33 m/h,污泥体积指数(SVI)为48.2 mL/g。使用PCR扩增的16S rDNA序列对絮体进行分子分析,结果显示与芽孢杆菌属、类芽孢杆菌属和无色杆菌属的序列具有98%的同源性。使用原子吸收光谱仪检测到Ca(2+)(131 mg/g)和Fe(2+)(131 mg/g),这可能与絮体的形成有关。此外,Co(2+)和Ni(2+)的存在表明絮体有能力积累废水中至少一部分金属。当这些絮体用于处理纺织原废水时,它们对化学需氧量(COD)和颜色的去除效果良好,分别约为55%和70%,表明了它们的潜在应用价值。
