Bioremediation

18.2K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Geosciences
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Deep coal seams' low permeability hinders conventional gas outburst prevention.
  • Coal and gas outbursts pose significant risks in underground mining operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of a selected methane-oxidizing bacterium (M07) for coal and gas outburst control.
  • To determine the optimal conditions for M07's application using chelating wetting agents.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation and identification of methane-oxidizing bacteria (M07) from coal mines.
  • Assessment of M07's growth and methane degradation in chelating wetting agent solutions.
  • Optimization of the M07 concentration within the chelating wetting agent carrier.

Main Results:

  • M07, a Bacillus strain, exhibits high resistance to pressure and methane degradation.
  • M07 degrades methane, producing carbon dioxide, thereby reducing gas pressure.
  • Optimal performance was observed at a 0.05% M07 concentration in the chelating wetting agent.

Conclusions:

  • Methane-oxidizing bacteria, when combined with chelating wetting agents, offer a novel approach to integrated coal and gas outburst prevention.
  • This microbial strategy provides a new avenue for managing gas pressure and reducing outburst risks in deep coal mines.
