摘要
The sulfate-reducing bacteria immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol-sodium alginate beads were prepared. The impacts of Zn2+, Cu2+, acetate, oxalate and citrate on the reduction of U(VI) were investigated. Furthermore, selective removal of U(VI) or heavy metals was assessed. The results indicate that the existing of Zn2+ or Cu2+ doesn't affect U(VI) removal appreciably when their concentrations are less than 100 mg/L, but they can inhibit U(VI) removal completely while their concentrations reach 150 mg/L. In the presence of monodentate ligand (acetate), U(VI) can be removed readily, whereas multidentate ligands (oxalate and citrate) impose an inhibition on U(VI) removal. In organic-free wastewater, direct selective removal of U(VI) can be achieved based on thermodynamic considerations and optimized by appropriately lowering COD/SO42-. In wastewater containing multidentate organics, U(VI) can be firstly complexed during precipitation of Zn2+ and Cu2+, and then removed directively after degradation of organic ligands.
