Chromium (VI) reduction in activated sludge bacteria exposed to high chromium loading.
A mixed-culture of bacteria collected from a wastewater treatment plant in Brits, North-West Province (South Africa) biocatalytically reduced Cr(VI) at much higher concentrations than previously observed in cultures isolated in North America. Complete Cr(VI) reduction in aerobic cultures was achieved at a high concentration of 200 mg/L after incubation for only 65 hours. Under anaerobic conditi...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Determination of Chromium(Vl) during the Reduction of Chromium(VI) to Chromium(III)
Reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(Ill) by thiourea between pH 3.0 and 5.5 is a key aspect of the chrominm(VI)/thiourea/polyacrylamide gel polymer system used in enhanced oil recovery processes. A method has been developed to determine chromium(Vl) concentration during the reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) in this pH range. The reduction reaction is run in the presence of an acetic ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Efficiency of Granular Activated Sludge and Common Activated Sludge in the Removal of Chromium (VI) from Synthetic Solutions
Introduction: Aerobic granules as a novel type of bio-sorbent have an excellent settling ability and high-porosity structure. This study investigated the feasibility of aerobic granules for chromium (VI) removal from synthetic aqueous solution and compare it with conventional activated sludge. Method: In this research the effect of some important parameters including pH (5, 7, and 9), initial c...
متن کاملGrowth Responses of Chromium (vi) Tolerant Bacteria to Different Concentrations of Chromium
Chromium (vi) – tolerant bacterial strains, namely, Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus sp. were isolated from the oxidation ditch of a sewage treatment plant. All the isolates tolerated high concentrations of up to 500 μg/ml chromium (vi) in nutrient broth. The growth responses of the bacterial isolates to different concentrations of chromium (vi) were carried ou...
متن کاملChromium (vi) Compounds
Chromium (VI), also known as hexavalent chromium, is the second most stable oxidation state of chromium. Rarely occurring naturally, most chromium (VI) compounds are manufactured (products or by-products). Chromium (VI) can be reduced to the more stable chromium (III) in the presence of reducing agents (e.g. iron) or oxidizable organic matter (OSHA, 2006). Selected chemical and physical propert...
