One-step treatment and resource recovery of high-concentration non-toxic organic wastewater by photosynthetic bacteria
In order to achieve simple pollutant removal and simultaneous resource recovery in high-COD-non-toxic wastewater treatment, a one-step photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) method was established using batch study experiment. The effluent COD met the national discharge standard, and biomass with rich protein and high-value substances was efficiently produced. It eliminated the demand of post-treatment for conventional PSB treatment. Results showed that Rhodopseudomonas effectively treated brewery wastewater and achieved biomass proliferation. Yeast extract was the best additive for PSB growth and the effluent COD was below 80 mg/L with 400 mg/L yeast extract, meeting the national discharge standard. In addition, the PSB biomass increased by 2.6 times, and the cells were rich in protein, polysaccharide, carotenoids, bacteriochlorophyll and coenzyme Q10, reaching 420.9, 177.6, 2.53, 10.75 and 38.6 mg/g respectively. This work demonstrated the great potential of PSB for high-COD non-toxic wastewater treatment in one-step process.
