Abstract:
A novel biobased composite was developed for the removal of phosphate (P) and atrazine from agricultural wastewater. A composite with strong P affinity and good biocompatibility, synthesized from La3+ and polydopamine (PDA), was immobilized onto an atrazine-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter lwoffii DNS32 (La/PDA/DNS32). Following Box-Behnken design optimization, the maximum removal rate of P (500 mg L-1) and atrazine (100 mg L-1) by La/PDA/DNS32 reached 28 % and 100 %, respectively. Density functional theory calculations revealed that La/PDA had more negative adsorption energy (-5.90 eV) than PDA alone and exhibited prominent electrophilic sites. Additionally, La/PDA-induced sorption of atrazine improved transmembrane transport and enhanced expression of degradation-associated genes in strain DNS32. La/PDA nanoparticles surrounding strain DNS32 provided a shielding effect and exhibited desirable biostability, thermal stability, and acid-alkaline resistance under contamination stress. This study demonstrates the promising potential of La/PDA/DNS32 in reducing the P and atrazine pollution caused by agricultural production.
