摘要
The co-presence of chromium (VI) [Cr(VI)] and uranium (VI) [U(VI)] is widely found in groundwater, imposing severe risks on human health. Although zerovalent iron [Fe(0)] supports superb performance for bioreduction of Cr(VI) and U(VI) individually, the biogeochemical process involving their concurrent removal with Fe(0) as electron donor remains unexplored. In the 6-d batch study, 86.1% ± 0.7% of Cr(VI) was preferentially eliminated, while 78.4% ± 0.5% of U(VI) removal was achieved simultaneously. Efficient removal of Cr(VI) (100%) and U(VI) (51.2% ∼ 100%) was also obtained in a continuous 160-d column experiment. As a result, Cr(VI) and U(VI) were reduced to less mobile Cr(III) and insoluble U(IV), respectively. 16 S rRNA sequencing was performed to investigate the dynamics of microbial community. Delftia, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Desulfomicrobium were the major contributors mediating the bioreduction process. The initial Cr(VI) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) incurred pronounced effects on community diversity, which in turn altered the reactor's performance. The enrichment of Cr(VI) resistance (chrA), U(VI) reduction (dsrA) and Fe(II) oxidation (mtrA) genes were observed by reverse transcription qPCR. Cytochrome c, glutathione and NADH as well as VFAs and gas metabolites also involved in the bioprocess. This study demonstrated a promising approach for removing the combined contaminants of Cr(VI) and U(VI) in groundwater.
