Abstract
Using a composite ecological remediation system for the long-term field application has been remaining a challenge. To cope with this problem, we fabricated a mussels-bacteria stereo integrated (MBSI) system deployed on a river bank to improve the river water quality. The MBSI system was operated for more than 4 months, and it was found that the turbidity, COD and TN of river water decreased significantly (P < 0.05) after the MBSI system treatment. The mussels layer was dominated by fermentation bacteria like Cetobacterium (7.6%), while ammoxidation bacteria of norank_NS9_marine_group (9.7%), denitrication bacteria of Thauera (9.4%) and anammox bacteria of Pirellula (3.7%) predominated in the immobilization microorganisms, demonstrating that the major responsibility was COD removal for mussels and nitrogen removal for immobilization bacteria. In summary, mussels and bacteria (immobilized) reinforced the synergistic effect, the combination of which provided a simple and feasible system for the improvement of river water quality and a promising tool for the engineering practice.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
