Abstract

ABSTRACT Microalgae have been effectively used as a nutrient removal method in wastewater treatment. However, the harvesting microalgae step is a major hurdle to the industry. In this study, the silica non-toxic sol–gel is used as a matrix to immobilise microalgae. Non-toxic silica gel matrix was synthesised by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) derived alcohol free route. This study aims to evaluate the effect of microalgae immobilisation in non-toxic silica gel to remove tanneries wastewater pollutants. The experiments were conducted by applying immobilised Scenedesmus sp. and Chlorella sp. in three concentrations in leather processing wastewater during 72 h of cultivation. The morphology of immobilisation was evaluated by optical microscopy, SEM and Zeta Potential analysis. The rate removals of total nitrogen (TN), total organic carbon (TOC) and Inorganic Carbon (IC) in comparison to immobilised and suspended microalgae were evaluated by the influence of the immobilisation, type of microalgae and microalgae concentration. For both microalgae, immobilisation showed promise for removing these nutrients. The immobilised Chlorella sp. at the initial concentration of 5.84 ± 0.975 mg.L−1 (I-Ch2) had the highest removal by immobilised microalgae, with an uptake of 20.82% of AN, 18.44% of TN, 30.42% of TOC and 64.73% of IC.

小球藻和场景藻悬浮和固定在无毒硅胶中去除皮革加工废水中的碳和氮

微藻作为一种有效去除废水中营养物质的方法已得到广泛应用。然而，微藻的收获步骤是该行业的一个主要障碍。在本研究中，二氧化硅无毒溶胶-凝胶被用作固定微藻的基质。采用四乙氧基硅烷（TEOS）衍生的无醇路线合成了无毒硅胶基质。本研究旨在评价在无毒硅胶中固定微藻对制革废水污染物的去除效果。采用固定化Scenedesmus sp.和小球藻sp.在皮革加工废水中的三种浓度进行了72 培养h。通过光学显微镜、扫描电镜和Zeta电位分析对固定化的形态进行了评价。通过固定化、微藻类型和微藻浓度的影响来评估与固定化和悬浮微藻相比的总氮（TN）、总有机碳（TOC）和无机碳（IC）的去除率。对于这两种微藻来说，固定化有望去除这些营养物质。初始浓度为5.84的固定化小球藻 ± 0.975 mg·L−1（I-Ch2）对固定化微藻的去除率最高，an、TN、TOC和IC的吸收率分别为20.82%、18.44%、30.42%和64.73%。

期刊介绍： Chemistry and Ecology publishes original articles, short notes and occasional reviews on the relationship between chemistry and ecological processes. This journal reflects how chemical form and state, as well as other basic properties, are critical in their influence on biological systems and that understanding of the routes and dynamics of the transfer of materials through atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic systems, and the associated effects, calls for an integrated treatment. Chemistry and Ecology will help promote the ecological assessment of a changing chemical environment and in the development of a better understanding of ecological functions.
