Cellulosimicrobium sp. Strain L1: A Study on the Optimization of the Conditions and Performance of a Combined Biological Trickling Filter for Hydrogen Sulfide Degradation

Sulfide is a toxic and hazardous substance in the agricultural environment, which can cause damage to humans and livestock when exposed to large amounts of air. In this study, we performed one-factor optimization of the culture conditions and culture fractions of the Cellulosimicrobium sp. strain L1 and combined it with a biological trickling filter cell for the degradation of hydrogen sulfide for 24 consecutive days. The degradation effect of strain L1 and the biological trickling filter (BTF) on hydrogen sulfide was investigated, and the changes in intermediate products in the degradation process were briefly analyzed. The results showed that strain L1 had the highest conversion efficiency when incubated with 3 g/L sucrose as the carbon source and 1 g/L NH4Cl as the nitrogen source at a temperature of 35 °C, an initial pH of 5, and a NaCl concentration of 1%. The concentration of thiosulfate increased and then decreased during the degradation process, and the concentration of sulfate increased continuously. When strain L1 was applied to the biological trickling filter, it could degrade 359.53 mg/m3 of H2S. This study provides a deeper understanding of sulfide degradation in biological trickling filters and helps promote the development of desulfurization technology and the treatment of malodorous gasses produced by the accumulation of large quantities of livestock manure.

A comparison between determination of trace amounts of sulfide in the presence and absence of micelle particles in natural waters (Qazvin, Iran): a kinetic spectrophotometric approach

A new sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method described for the determination of trace amounts of sulfides based on the addition reaction of sulfide ions with malachite green has been investigated in aqueous and micellar media at 25 °C. The variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated, and the optimum conditions were established. Under the optimum experimental conditions, decreases in the absorbance of malachite green at 615 nm in the absence and 630 nm in the presence of micelle particles, their λ max, were proportional to the concentrations of sulfide ions at the first 15 and 25 s from initiation of the reaction. The working curve was linear over the concentration range 50-1200 ng mL(-1) of sulfide ions with a fixed time method at the first 15 and 25 s from initiation of the reaction in aqueous medium and 25-1750 ng mL(-1) with a fixed time method at the first 15 s and 25-1500 ng mL(-1) for primitive 25 s in micellar medium. For the proposed kinetic method, the experimental and theoretical limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) in the presence and absence of micelle particles were obtained and tabulated at Δt = 15 and 25 s. The effective range concentration was achieved from the plot of Ringbom in both media and reported. Different surfactants, such as nonionic surfactant (Triton-X100), anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), were investigated and Triton X-100 selected as a suitable surfactant. To valuable vision into the reaction pathways, pseudo-first-order condition was applied and different kinetic parameters like ΔG (≠), ΔE (≠), ΔS (≠), and ΔH (≠) computed. The 2:1 stoichiometry of malachite green to sulfide ions was indicated by the results of mole ratio and Job's method of continuous variation. The effect of different environments on the interfering of various ions on sulfide determination with the suggested method was studied, and final results have been presented. To investigate the usefulness of the different media of the proposed method, sulfide ions were determined in natural waters such as river and spring samples without any purification or using masking reagents.

New spectrophotometric methods for the determinations of hydrogen sulfide present in the samples of lake water, industrial effluents, tender coconut, sugarcane juice and egg

The new methods are working on the principle that iron(III) is reduced to iron(II) by hydrogen sulfide, catechol and p-toluidine the system 1/hydrogen sulfide the system 2, in acidic medium followed by the reduced iron forming complex with 1,10-phenanthroline with λ(max) 510 nm. The other two methods are based on redox reactions between electrolytically generated manganese(III) sulfate taken in excess and hydrogen sulfide followed by the unreacted oxidant oxidizing diphenylamine λ(max) 570 the system 3/barium diphenylamine sulphonate λ(max) 540 nm, the system 4. The increase/decrease in the color intensity of the dye products of the systems 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 are proportional to the concentration of hydrogen sulfide with its quantification range 0.035-1.40 μg ml(-1)/0.14-1.40 μg ml(-1).
