Abstract
ABSTRACT The effects of rhamnolipid chelating La (III) or Nd (III) on m-dichlorobenzene removal and biofilm growth were investigated. The rhamnolipid chelating La (III) or Nd (III) significantly increased the average m-dichlorobenzene elimination capacity by 24% and 29%, respectively, on day 70–130, and the average wet weights of biomass ranged from 11 kg/m3 to 15 kg/m3 in BTFs on day 100–180 at an inlet load of at 47–98 gm3/h and an EBRT of 60s-90s. Microbial community functional genes about biofilm growth and m-dichlorobenzene removal were also increased. In addition, the rhamnolipid chelating La (III) or Nd (III) can improve the membrane permeability, extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production, catechol 2,3 dioxygenase (C23O) enzyme, and chlorobenzene dioxygenase activity. These results demonstrate that rhamnolipid chelating La (III) or Nd (III) have the potential to improve the performance of BTFs treating hydrophobic and highly toxic VOCs. Graphical Abstract
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability is a peer-reviewed open access forum for insights on the chemical aspects of pollutants in the environment and biota, and their impacts on the uptake of the substances by living organisms.
Topics include the occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of environmental pollutants, as well as their impact on living organisms. Substances of interests include heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants.
