Microbial Perchlorate Reduction in Groundwater with Different Electron Donors
Abstract:
Effects of different electron donors (acetate and hydrogen), acetate and perchlorate concentrations on microbial perchlorate reduction in groundwater were studied. The results showed that acetate and hydrogen addition as an electron donor can significantly improve perchlorate removal efficiency while a longer period was observed for hydrogen (15 d) than for acetate (8 d). The optical ratio of electron donor (acetate)-to-electron acceptor (perchlorate) was approximately 1.65 mg COD mg perchlorate-1. The highest specific reduction rate of perchlorate was achieved at the acetate-to-perchlorate ratio of 3.80 mg COD mg perchlorate-1. The perchlorate reduction rates corresponded well to the theoretical values calculated by the Monod equation and the parameters of Ks and Vm were determined to be 15.6 mg L-1 and 0.26 d-1, respectively.
