Marine oil spill pollution is an important environmental problem in the world, especially crude oil-soaked marine sediments, because they are difficult to be remediated. In this study, in situ bioremediation of oil-soaked sediment was performed in the middle of the Bohai Sea. Oil-degrading bacteria were adsorbed on powdery zeolite (PZ)/granular zeolites (GZ) surfaces and then wrapped with poly-γ glutamic acid (γ-PGA). Settling column and wave flume experiments were conducted to model marine conditions and to select appropriate biological reagents. The optimal conditions were as follows: the average diameter of GZ 3 mm, mass ratio of GZ/PZ 2:1, and concentration of γ-PGA 7%. After bioremediation, over 50% of most oil-spilled pollutants n-alkanes (C to C) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were degraded in 70 days. This work resulted in a successful trial of in situ bioremediation of oil-soaked marine sediments.
海洋溢油污染是世界范围内的一个重要环境问题,特别是原油污染的海洋沉积物,因为它们很难得到修复。本研究在渤海中部进行了原位生物修复。油降解菌被吸附在粉末沸石(PZ)/颗粒沸石(GZ)表面,然后用聚-γ-谷氨酸(γ-PGA)包裹。沉降柱和波流水槽实验模拟了海洋条件,并选择了合适的生物试剂。最佳条件为:GZ 的平均直径为 3mm,GZ/PZ 的质量比为 2:1,γ-PGA 的浓度为 7%。生物修复后,在 70 天内,超过 50%的大部分溢油污染物正构烷烃(C 至 C)和多环芳烃被降解。这项工作成功地进行了原位生物修复受污染海洋沉积物的试验。
