Bioreduction of perchlorate (ClO4−) faces challenges such as slow degradation rates and long start-up periods, greatly limiting their practical application. This study investigated the effects of Fe(II) and Fe(III) at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mmol L−1 on the bioreduction characteristics of ClO4−.
RESULTS
Compared to the control group, the reduction rates of ClO4− in the Fe(II)-0.1 and Fe(III)-0.1 systems increased by 7.46-fold and 7.24-fold, respectively. Complete degradation of ClO4− up to 1586.32 ± 18.60 mg L−1 could be achieved within 96 h.
