LECTURE 12 BIOREMEDIATIONB ioremediationBioremediation is the use of microorganisms to destroy or immobilize waste materialsMicroorganisms include:Bacteria (aerobic and anaerobic)FungiActinomycetes (filamentous bacteria) BIOREMEDIATION mechanismMicroorganisms destroy organic contaminants in the course of using the chemicals for their own growth and reproductionOrganic chemicals provide:carbon, source of cell building material electrons, source of energyCells catalyze oxidation of organic chemicals (electron donors), causing transfer of electrons from organic chemicals to some electron acceptorElectron acceptorsElectron acceptors:In aerobic oxidation, acceptor is oxygenIn anaerobic, acceptor is (with decreasing efficiency):nitratemanganeseironsulfateM icroorganisms also need essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphoruspE-10-50+5+10+15 AEROBIC RESPIRATIONIRON REDUCTIONSULFATE REDUCTIONNITRATE REDUCTIONMANGANESE REDUCTIONMETHANE FERMENTATIONDENITRIFICATIONI mage adapted from: Wiedemeier, T.
May 11, 2004 · Soil piles can be up to 20 feet high and may be covered with plastic to control runoff, evaporation and volatilization, and to promote solar heating. If volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the soil volatilize into the air stream, the air leaving the soil may be treated to remove or destroy the VOCs before they are d ischarged into the atmosphere.
