JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:131960. [PMID: 37393825 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
The Chlorella vulgaris-Rhodococcus erythropolis consortia was constructed for the biodegradation of waste motor oil (WMO), combined with thermodynamic calculations and stoichiometric analyses. The microalgae-bacteria consortium was constructed as C. vulgaris: R. erythropolis = 1:1 (biomass, cell/mL), pH = 7, 3 g/L WMO. Under the same condition, the terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) play a crucial role in the WMO biodegradation, which follows Fe3+ >SO42- > none. The biodegradation of WMO fitted well with the first-order kinetic model under experimental temperatures with different TEAs (R2 >0.98). The WMO biodegradation efficiency reached 99.2 % and 97.1 % with Fe3+ and SO42-as TEAs at 37 °C, respectively. Thermodynamic methanogenesis opportunity windows with Fe3+ as TEA are 2.72 times fold as large as those with SO42-. Microorganism metabolism equations demonstrated the viability of anabolism and catabolism on WMO. This work lays the groundwork for the implementation of WMO wastewater bioremediation and supports research into the biochemical process of WMO biotransformation.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3582. [PMID: 37688209 PMCID: PMC10489987 DOI: 10.3390/polym15173582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Quantification of the biodegradability of soil water superabsorbents is necessary for a reasonable prediction of their stability and functioning. A new methodological approach to assessing the biodegradability of these polymer materials has been implemented on the basis of PASCO (USA) instrumentation for continuous registration of kinetic CO2 emission curves in laboratory incubation experiments with various hydrogels, including the well-known trade brands Aquasorb, Zeba, and innovative Russian Aquapastus composites with an acrylic polymer matrix. Original kinetic models were proposed to describe different types of respiratory curves and calculate half-life indicators of the studied superabsorbents. Comparative analysis of the new approach with the assessment by biological oxygen demand revealed for the first time the significance of CO2 dissolution in the liquid phase of gel structures during their incubation. Experiments have shown a tenfold reduction in half-life up to 0.1-0.3 years for a priori non-biodegradable synthetic superabsorbents under the influence of compost extract. The incorporation of silver ions into Aquapastus innovative composites at a dose of 0.1% or 10 ppm in swollen gel structures effectively increases their stability, prolonging the half-life to 10 years and more, or almost twice the Western stability standard for polymer ameliorants.

Abstract
Amidase and laccase play a key role in the degradation process of anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM). However, the largest challenge of HPAM enzymatic degradation is whether the enzyme can bind with a substrate for a period of time. Here, the most suitable complexes, namely, Rh Amidase-HPAM-2 and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) laccase-HPAM-3, were obtained by docking, and they were carried out for molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) under 298, 303, and 308 K. MDS result analysis showed that Rh Amidase-HPAM-2 was the most stable at 298 K mainly due to a salt bridge and a hydrogen bond, and B. subtilis laccase-HPAM-3 was the most stable at 298 K mainly due to two electrostatic and hydrogen bonds. The LYS96 in Rh Amidase-HPAM-2 and LYS135 in B. subtilis laccase-HPAM-3 had been the most important in their binding process. The binding of Rh Amidase-HPAM-2 and B. subtilis laccase-HPAM-3 was optimal at 303 and 298 K, respectively. HPAM was degraded by mixed bacteria, and the optimal conditions were determined to be 308 K, initial pH = 7, and an inoculated dosage of 2 mL. Under these conditions, the degradation ratio reached 39.24%. The effect of parameters on the HPAM degradation ratio followed a decreasing order of temperature > initial pH > inoculated dosage. The HPAM codegradation mechanism was supposed by mixed bacteria according to test data. The mixed bacteria secreted both amidase and laccase, and they interacted jointly with HPAM. These results lay a theoretical foundation to design and modify the enzyme through mutation experiments in the future.

[PMID: 36227428 PMCID: PMC9558033 DOI: 10.1007/s10661-022-10569-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Polymers, such as partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), are widely used in oil fields to enhance or improve the recovery of crude oil from the reservoirs. It works by increasing the viscosity of the injected water, thus improving its mobility and oil recovery. However, during such enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, it also produces a huge quantity of water alongside oil. Depending on the age and the stage of the oil reserve, the oil field produces ~ 7-10 times more water than oil. Such water contains various types of toxic components, such as traces of crude oil, heavy metals, and different types of chemicals (used during EOR operations such as HPAM). Thus, a huge quantity of HPAM containing produced water generated worldwide requires proper treatment and usage. The possible toxicity of HPAM is still ambiguous, but its natural decomposition product, acrylamide, threatens humans' health and ecological environments. Therefore, the main challenge is the removal or degradation of HPAM in an environmentally safe manner from the produced water before proper disposal. Several chemical and thermal techniques are employed for the removal of HPAM, but they are not so environmentally friendly and somewhat expensive. Among different types of treatments, biodegradation with the aid of individual or mixed microbes (as biofilms) is touted to be an efficient and environmentally friendly way to solve the problem without harmful side effects. Many researchers have explored and reported the potential of such bioremediation technology with a variable removal efficiency of HPAM from the oil field produced water, both in lab scale and field scale studies. The current review is in line with United Nations Sustainability Goals, related to water security-UNSDG 6. It highlights the scale of such HPAM-based EOR applications, the challenge of produced water treatment, current possible solutions, and future possibilities to reuse such treated water sources for other applications.

Abstract
Manganese peroxidase (Mn P) is capable of effectively degrading anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM). However, the interaction of Mn P with HPAM at molecular level is lacking until now. Here, the HPAM model compounds, HPAM-2, HPAM-3, HPAM-4, and HPAM-5, were selected to reveal their binding mechanisms with Mn P. The results showed that the most suitable substrate for Mn P was HPAM-5, and the main reason for MnP-HPAM-5 with maximal affinity was strong hydrogen bond. LYS96 was the important key residue in all complexes, and the number of key residue was largest in MnP-HPAM-5. The optimal THR27ILE mutant may enhance the affinity of Mn P to HPAM-4. The stability of Mn P binding to HPAM-4 was the optimal. These results were helpful in designing highly efficient Mn P against HPAM to protect the ecological environment.

Abstract
Recycling swine wastewater is an environmental and economic issue for promoting the sustainable development of the pig industry worldwide. The application of a flocculant, non-ionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) for treating the contaminants in wastewater was trialed in this study. Firstly, the optimal pH value for the coagulation–flocculation of NPAM was adjusted by hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The viscosity of the flocculant solution was examined by a rotational viscometer and the morphology of the flocculant on the glass surface was examined by an optical microscope and an atomic force microscope. The result showed that a pH value of 11 or more was best for NPAM coagulation–flocculation. Subsequently, the swine wastewater from the anoxic reactor of a three-stage manure treatment system was adjusted by a pH adjuster, calcium hydroxide, followed by the coagulation–flocculation of NPAM. The quality of the final, treated water was examined by a regular wastewater analysis. The results showed that the removal rates for copper ions, zinc ions, NH4+–N, total phosphate (TP), and total nitrogen (TN) were 96.3%, 97.8%, 99.2%, 94.9%, and 99.1%, respectively. Our study concluded that this water recycling method combining the existing organic fertilizer production and power generation enhanced the recycling strategy for swine wastewater treatment and could further the sustainable development of the pig industry.

Combination of biochar and immobilized bacteria accelerates polyacrylamide biodegradation in soil by both bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation strategies.

Abstract
Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been used extensively due to its well-known stable chemical properties, but limited information is available on the biodegradation of soil-containing PAM. In this work, sufficient degradation of PAM was achieved via the addition of the Klebsiella sp. PCX-biochar composite to PAM-containing soil, due to the synergic effect of bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation. The optimal degradation rate of 69.1% over 30-day period was observed under the following conditions: the addition of immobilized bacteria at 0.07 g/g, pH 6.6, and temperature at 38.0 °C. In this study, we showed that PAM was successfully hydrolyzed by amidase, and ammonia in the hydrolysis product was then oxidized by the nitrifying bacteria. The decrease of water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) also demonstrated the chain cleavage in PAM. PAM was utilized as a carbon source not only by Klebsiella sp. PCX but also by some taxa from indigenous bacteria. Last but not least, it was shown in this study that biochar, even though immobilized with exogenous microorganisms, actually enhanced bacterial diversity and stimulated the growth of some indigenous PAM-degrading taxa. Based on the above observations, we concluded that PAM biodegradation via the addition of bacteria-immobilized biochar was a synergy of both bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation strategies.

Abstract
The differences of crude oil recovery ratio resulted in different levels of crude oil in actual hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)-containing wastewater. The effect of crude oil on HPAM biotransformation was explored from bioresource production, enzymatic activity and microbial function. In aerobic biosystems, the highest polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) yield (19.6%-40.2%) and dehydrogenase (DH) activity (4.06-8.32 mg·g-1 VSS) occurred in the 48th hour, and increased with crude oil concentration (0-400 mg·L-1). In anoxic biosystems, the highest PHA yield (24.5%-50.5%) and DH activity (3.24-6.69 mg·g-1 VSS) occurred in the 72nd hour, and increased with crude oil concentration. The higher substrate removal (38.5%-65.7%) occurred in aerobic biosystems, while the higher PHA accumulation occurred in anoxic biosystems. PHA yield, DH activity and HPAM removal were related. Microbial function related to HPAM biodegradation and PHA synthesis was discussed. The main function of Pseudomonas and Bacillus in aerobic biosystems was to degrade HPAM, and in anoxic biosystems was to synthesize PHA.

High temperature utilization of PAM and HPAM by microbial communities enriched from oilfield produced water and activated sludge. AMB Express 2019; 9:46.

Abstract
Non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PAM) and partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) are commonly used polymers in various industrial applications, including in oil and gas production operations. Understanding the microbial utilization of such polymers can contribute to improved recovery processes and help to develop technologies for polymer remediation. Microbial communities enriched from oilfield produced water (PW) and activated sludge from Alberta, Canada were assessed for their ability to utilize PAM and HPAM as nitrogen and carbon sources at 50 °C. Microbial growth was determined by measuring CO2 production, and viscosity changes and amide concentrations were used to determine microbial utilization of the polymers. The highest CO2 production was observed in incubations wherein HPAM was added as a nitrogen source for sludge-derived enrichments. Our results showed that partial deamination of PAM and HPAM occurred in both PW and sludge microbial cultures after 34 days of incubation. Whereas viscosity changes were not observed in cultures when HPAM or PAM was provided as the only carbon source, sludge enrichment cultures amended with HPAM and glucose showed significant decreases in viscosity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis indicated that microbial members from the family Xanthomonadaceae were enriched in both PW and sludge cultures amended with HPAM or PAM as a nitrogen source, suggesting the importance of this microbial taxon in the bio-utilization of these polymers. Overall, our results demonstrate that PAM and HPAM can serve as nitrogen sources for microbial communities under the thermophilic conditions commonly found in environments such as oil and gas reservoirs.

Abstract
An efficient way to solve the environmental pollution deriving from hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)-containing drilling wastewater is urgent. This work adopted a novel method coupling Fenton oxidation with sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to treat gas-field drilling wastewater successively. This Fenton-SBR process reduced COD, HPAM, NH4+-N and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations of drilling wastewater by 98.35%, 87.58%, 94.50% and 93.52%, respectively. While simulated HPAM wastewater with similar HPAM concentration to Fenton-oxidized drilling wastewater was treated only by biological process, and the COD and HPAM removal efficiencies reached 78.26% and 62.95%. The result indicates that the biodegradability of the drilling wastewater was enhanced after Fenton oxidation. Moreover, the analysis on microbial community structure indicates the dominant bacteria in treated drilling wastewater were different from that in treated simulated-wastewater. It can be considered the Fenton-SBR process possesses potential to be applied to treating the drilling wastewater.

Potential of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) biodegradation to final products was studied through regulating its own nitrogen transformation. Under the conditions of 2, 3 and 4 mg/L of DO, HPAM removal ratio reached 16.92%, 24.51% and 30.78% and the corresponding removal ratio reached 49.15%, 60.25% and 76.44% after anaerobic biodegradation. NO3--N concentration was 9.43, 14.10 and 17.99 mg/L in aerobic stages and the corresponding concentration was 0.17, 0.07 and 0.008 mg/L after anaerobic biodegradation. Oxygen as electron acceptors stimulated the activities of nitrification bacteria and other functional bacteria, thus further enhanced nitrification and HPAM biodegradation. NO3- (from HPAM oxidation) as electron acceptors stimulated the activities of nitrate-reducing, acetate-producing and methanogenic microorganisms and they could form a synergistic effect on denitrification and methanogenesis. Thermodynamic opportunity window revealed that NOx- could accelerate anaerobic HPAM bioconversion to methane. Aerobic and anaerobic growth-process equations of cells verified that the metabolism on HPAM was feasible.

Abstract
The type of electron acceptor was a crucial factor in regulating the methanogenic process of anaerobic hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) degradation. The combined methods of biodegradation experiments and thermodynamic calculations were applied to explore the effects of different electron acceptors on methanogenic HPAM degradation. Under the conditions of without electron acceptor, SO42-, Fe3+, SO42- and Fe3+ as electron acceptors, HPAM biodegradation ratio reached 31.56%, 41.48%, 49.4% and 61.1%, acetate production reached 0.0532, 28.28, 112.7 and 141.95mg·L-1, CH4 production reached 0.024, 0.3015, 9.446 and 11.78mg·L-1, respectively. The synergistic effect of SO42- and Fe3+ further promoted methanogenic HPAM biotransformation. Archaeal community analysis revealed that Methanobacteriales, Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales were dominant. Thermodynamic opportunity windows of methanogenesis with Fe3+ as electron acceptor are 35 times larger than that with SO42- as electron acceptor. It indicated that acetoclastic methanogenesis was dominant and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was inhibited in the methane-producing process of anaerobic HPAM degradation.

Abstract
Microbial communities in the functional areas of biofilm reactors with large height-diameter ratio using the anaerobic-aerobic (A/O) reflux process was investigated to treat heavy oil refinery wastewater without pretreatment. In the process, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN) removal reached 93.2% and 82.8%, and the anaerobic biofilm reactor was responsible for 95% and 99%, respectively. Areas for hydrolysis acidification and acetic acid production, methane production, and COD recovery were obvious in the anaerobic reactor. Among all areas, area for hydrolysis acidification and acetic acid production was the key factor to improve COD removal efficiency. High throughput sequencing of 16S rDNA gene showed that the native community was mainly composed of functional groups for hydrocarbon degradation, syntrophic bacteria union body, methanogenesis, nitrification, denitrification, and sulfate reduction. The deviations between predicted values and actual COD and TN removal were less than 5% in the optimal prediction model.
