The treatment of contaminated soils using physical, chemical, or thermal methods requires some improvements to meet the required remediation purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of bioattenuation, wastewater, and air-injection for the remediation of AMD polluted soils. A microcosm comprising 1 kg of polluted soil was amended with varying loadings of domestic and brewery wastewaters for biostimulation treatments, and the bioattenuation received no amendment while the bioventing treatment was supplied with wastewaters and atmospheric air at 3 L/min for 30 mins intervals every 48 h. The investigation conducted under the ambient condition for 28 days recorded average metal removal efficiencies of 12–31% (bioattenuation), 50–66% for all heavy metals (iron, aluminum, copper and zinc) except manganese (28%) (biostimulation) and 56–70% (bioventing) while 32%, 35% and 52% sulfate removal efficiencies were recorded for bioattenuation, bioventing and biostimulation respectively. The study revealed that wastewater and bioventing systems can be efficiently utilized as an eco-friendly approach for the treatment of acid mine contaminated soils and pollution mitigation in the mining environments. In addition, from a comparative point of view, the results of the study further showed that the amendment of wastewater is more effective for sulfate removal while air injection enhanced metal removal from acid mine drainage contaminated soils. The synergetic effects have also been observed; the current study demonstrates that the combined application of biostimulation and bioventing system requires constant monitoring to ensure the provision of appropriate anoxic conditions for biosulfidogenic activity by enhancing sulfate removal while promoting an oxic environment for the oxidation process to facilitate metal removal for the effective treatment of acid mine drainage contaminated soil.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44121935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maximum PCP biodegradation in PBD by B. mucilaginosus was obtained at glucose, 0.5 (g/l); ferric ammonium citrate, 0.5 (g/l); PCP concentration, 300 (mg/l) and incubation period, 3 (days) while the maximum conditions by P. plecoglossicida were glucose, 0.5 (g/l); ferric ammonium citrate, 0.5 (g/l); PCP concentration, 100 (mg/l) and incubation period, 3 (days).

Probiotic bacteria have been recently utilized for nickel detoxification through bioremediation strategies. We inspected that the role of probiotic lactic acid bacteria in reducing nickel toxicity has been investigated using two biological methods, including biosorption and bioaccumulation. Seventeen strains of nickel-resistant probiotic lactic acid bacteria isolated from the human microbiome were selected out of 88 strains by three different screening stages comprising disc diffusion, MIC, and biosorption/bioaccumulation tests culminated in four of the most powerful strains in reducing nickel from their culture medium. They were L. brevis 205, L. mocusae 226, L. casei 375, and B. infantis 1001 with the mean nickel biosorption rate of 82%, 66%, 70%, and 74%, respectively. The bioaccumulation test resulted in an approximate rate of accumulated nickel inside the strains cells. L. casei, L. brevis, and L. mocusae had the best rate of about 43% nickel accumulation, followed by B. infantis with a 42% bioaccumulation rate.

Although treatment of these wastes has not currently received much attention in Nigeria, poultry litter is widely used as source of organic fertilizer for subsistence farming by rural and urban areas of the country. It is essential to effectively stabilize the organic waste because the continuous use of the poultry manure in agricultural activities poses great threat to the health of the soil environment due to heavy metals and antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Composting is an effective method for stabilizing organic manure toward reducing the heavy metals content. Hence, the present study determined the effect of biochar additives on heavy metals and antibiotic-resistant bacteria removal during composting of poultry litter (PL), vegetable waste (VW), and corn stalk (CS). To this end, three composting trials were set-up comprising control: PL (57.58%) + CS (38.41%) + VW (4.01%), TX: control + 5% biochar, and TY: control + 10% biochar. The composting pile was also spiked with heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, and As) and their removal efficiencies were monitored. To enumerate the antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the compost, Nutrient agar was supplemented with antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, and tetracycline. The outcome of the investigation showed that the highest reduction in total coliform from 3.68 to 1.06 log10 CFU g−1 was observed in TY. The addition of 10% biochar in TY also reduced the concentration of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in all the treatments to an undetectable limit compared to TX (5% biochar) and control (no biochar). The biochar-aided heavy metals removal followed a first-order path. With the exception of Cd removal where TX showed the best removal rate (k = 0.1582), the TY resulted in best removal rates for Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, and As. The decreasing order of heavy metal removal rates from TY is as follows: Cu (k = 0.2025) > Cr (k = 0.1403) > Pb (k = 0.1300) > Zn (k = 0.1290), > As (k = 0.090). Therefore, biochar additives during composting of poultry litter should be encouraged amongst the rural farmers.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45127655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
