Abstract:
S,S-ethylenediamine-N,N-disuccinic acid (EDDS) enhanced reductive dissolution of α-FeOOH by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 (CN32), resulting in formation of surface-bound Fe(II) species (FeIIEDDS) to improve reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT). The pseudo-first-order rate constants for bio-reduction extents of α-FeOOH by CN32 in the presence of 1.36 mM EDDS was 0.023 ± 0.0003 d-1 which was higher than without EDDS. The enhancement mechanism of bio-reduction was attributed to the strong complexation ability of EDDS to formed FeIIIEDDS, which could be better utilized by CN32. The dechlorination kinetic of CT by FeIIEDDS (2.016 h-1) in the presence of 1.36 mM EDDS was 24 times faster than without EDDS. Chloroform were detected as main products for the degradation of CT. The chemical analyses and morphological observation showed that combination between EDDS and Fe2+ produced FeIIEDDS complex, which had a reductive potential of -0.375 V and significantly enhanced CT dechlorination. The results showed that EDDS played an important role in enhancing the bio-reduction of α-FeOOH to accelerate reductive dechlorination of CT.
