Properties of Pesudomonas sp. DN-1 in Reduction of Nitric Oxide Chelate Absorption Solution
假单胞菌DN-1再生NO络合吸收液的特性

Metal chelate absorption is deemed as a promising method of NO removal in FGD system, but the difficulty in the regeneration of the absorption solution hinders its further development. An original method with microbial reduction is proposed in this paper. With the adding of Psudomonas sp. DN-1, which was newly isolated from wastewater treatment plant, FeII (EDTA) NO will be reduced to the environmentally benign gaseous product of N2, and thus FeII (EDTA) was regenerated simultaneously. The effects of the types and amount of carbon source, FeII (EDTA) NO concentration, pH, temperature and the biomass inoculation on bio-reduction efficiency were investigated. The results showed that the microorganism exhibited good performance on bio-reduction of FeII (EDTA) NO with the carbon sources of glucose. 250 mg x L(-1) glucose was enough for microorganism to reduce 6.50 mmol x L(-1) FeII (EDTA) NO completely. The rate of FeII (EDTA) NO reduction did not increase with adding a larger amount of carbon source. The bio-reduction could be achieved efficiently among the temperature range of 40 - 45 degrees C and a pH range of 6.9 - 7.2. The bio-reduction rate increased with the increasing of biomass inoculation. When FeII (EDTA) NO concentration is less than 11.8 mmol x L(-1), the reduction rate increased as the concentration increases, while the concentration is over 11.8 mmol x L(-1), the reduction rate keeps constant.
