Chemolithoautotrophic denitrifying microorganisms oxidize reduced inorganic sulfur compounds coupled to the reduction of nitrate as an electron acceptor. These denitrifiers can be applied removal nitrogen and/or contamination from wastewater, groundwater, and gaseous streams. This study investigated physiology kinetics chemolithotrophic denitrification by enrichment culture utilizing hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, or thiosulfate donor. Complete oxidation sulfide sulfate was observed...

Abstract Zero valent iron (ZVI) is a reactive media commonly utilized in permeable barriers (PRBs). Sulfate reducing bacteria are being considered for the immobilization of heavy metals PRBs. The purpose this study was to evaluate potential ZVI as an electron donor sulfate reduction natural mixed anaerobic cultures. ability methanogens utilize electron‐donor also explored since these microorganisms often compete with reducers common substrates. Four grades different particle sizes (1.120,...

Large quantities of arsenic are introduced into the environment through land application poultry litter containing organoarsenical feed additive roxarsone (3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid). The objective this study was to evaluate bioconversion and related N-substituted phenylarsonic acid derivatives under anaerobic conditions. results demonstrate that is rapidly transformed in absence oxygen corresponding aromatic amine, 4-hydroxy-3-aminophenylarsonic (HAPA). formation HAPA attributable...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and related perfluoroalkyl polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are emerging contaminants that have been widely applied in consumer industrial applications for decades. However, PFOS has raised public concern due to its high bioaccumulative character, environmental persistence, toxicity. Shorter PFASs such as perfluorobutane (PFBS) compounds proposed alternatives but it is unclear whether these fluorinated pose a risk health the environment. The objective of...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is under increased scrutiny as an environmental pollutant due to recent reports of its worldwide distribution, persistence, and bioaccumulation potential. The susceptibility technical PFOS branched isomers chemical reductive dehalogenation with vitamin B12 (260 µM) catalyst Ti(III)-citrate (36 mM) bulk reductant in anoxic aqueous solution at 70 °C pH 9 was evaluated this study. Defluorination confirmed by fluoride release measurements 18% PFOS, equivalent the...
