PCBs and PAHs Restrain the Use of Sludge as a Renewable Resource

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to reduce the quantities of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the samples of non-hygienized sewage sludge via laboratory biodegradation. Pure bacterial cultures of Pseudomonas putida, Rhodococcus sp. and their mixture in 1:1 proportion have been used. The laboratory experiment lasted for 28 days and the acquired values were compared with Decree 294/2005 Coll. The obtained results imply that biodegradation of such contaminated samples is practicable. Using the bacterial mixture, over 85 % Σ of PCBs were degraded, and applying Rhodococcus sp. as much as 95.86 % of the original concentration of PAHs were removed.
