Bioremediation is when organisms either metabolize or fix
contaminants

Bioremediation is any process that
uses microorganisms,
fungi, green plants or their enzymes to
return the contaminated
environment to its original condition.

Because there is too much of something we need to either
reduce it or immobilize
(fix) it

processes
Contaminants may be partially oxidized to less toxic things
Contaminants may be fully oxidized to chemicals such as carbon dioxide and water

Bioremediation might be improved
We could add more or better organisms to the soil (bioaugmentation)

How could we stimulate the growth of microorganisms?
We could add nutrients, change the pH, change the temperature, and add or remove oxygen.
Eg Benzene
2C6H6 + 15O2 12CO2 + 6H2O

We can engineer the conditions
Engineered bioremediation involves supplying oxygen (or other electron acceptor), water, and nutrients at the correct rate so that the naturally existing microorganisms are stimulated to degrade the contaminants.
![Page 27: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Microbial biodegradation of pollutants occurs most rapidly under certain optimal conditions:
Temperature (15-30 C)
High moisture content
High oxygen content
Nutrient availability
Usually neutral pH (~7)
Constant ionic strength
Absence of toxic inhibitors
Biotechnological plants try to maintain optimal conditions for micro-organisms

Signs of Biological Activity
Biological activity will result in decreased oxygen concentration (for aerobic processes) and increased metabolites (e.g. CO2).

Types of Contaminants
Bioremediation is commonly used for:Organic contaminants
Some inorganic pollutants such as ammonia, nitrate, and perchlorate
Changing the valence states of heavy metals to convert them into immobile or less toxic forms. (eg mobile hexavalent chromium into immobile and less toxic trivalent chromium)
![Page 32: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Perchlorates are the salts of perchloric acid (HClO4).
They are commonly found in rocket fuel and explosives, often those used by the military.

33
Advantages of Bioremediation
It may result in complete degradation of organic compounds to nontoxic byproducts.Not much equipment is neededBioremediation does not change the natural surroundings of the site.Low cost compared to other remediation technologies.

35
Disadvantages of Bioremediation
There could be partial degradation to metabolites that are still toxic and/or more mobile in the environment.Biodegradation is easily stopped by toxins and environmental conditions.We have to always measure biodegradation rates.Generally requires longer treatment time as compared to other remediation technologies.

Bioremediation processes may give: complete oxidation of organic contaminants (called mineralization),
biotransformation of organic chemicals into smaller parts, or
reduction of halo- and nitro- groups by transferring electrons from an electron donor (eg a sugar or fatty acid) to the contaminant, resulting in a less toxic compound.

The major nutrients needed include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous.
The amount which needs to be added depends on what is already there.
Generally, the C to N to P ratio (w/w) required is 120:10:1.

Bioreactors are biochemical-processing systems designed to degrade contaminants using microorganisms.Contaminated water flows into a tank, where microorganisms grow and reproduce while degrading the contaminant. The biomass produced is then separated from the treated water and disposed of as a biosolids waste.This technology can be used to treat organic wastes (BOD), ammonia, chlorinated solvents, propellants, and fuels.
![Page 41: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Artificial wetland ecosystems (organic materials, microbial fauna, and algae) can remove metals, explosives, and other contaminants from inflowing water.
The contaminated water flows into the wetland and is processed by wetland plants and microorganisms to break down and remove the contaminants.

Bioremediation ( 김동진 교수 )Relies on microorganisms to biologically degrade groundwater contaminants through a process called biodegradation.It may be engineered and accomplished in two general ways:
(1) stimulating native microorganisms by adding nutrients, oxygen, or other electron acceptors (a process called biostimulation); or
(2) providing supplementary pregrown microorganisms to the contaminated site to augment naturally occurring microorganisms (a process called bioaugmentation).
![Page 45: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Bioremediation ( 김동진 교수 )
It mainly focuses on remediating organic chemicals such as fuels and chlorinated solvents. One approach, aerobic bioremediation, involves the delivery of oxygen (and potentially other nutrients) to the aquifer to help native microorganisms reproduce and degrade the contaminant.
![Page 46: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Bioremediation ( 김동진 교수 )
Another approach, anaerobic bioremediation, circulates electron donor materials—for example, food-grade carbohydrates such as edible oils, molasses, lactic acid, and cheese whey—in the absence of oxygen throughout the contaminated zone to stimulate microorganisms to consume the contaminant. In some cases, pregrown microbes may be injected into the contaminated area to help supplement existing microorganisms and enhance the degradation of the contaminant, a process known as bioaugmentation.

Aerobic is often faster than anaerobic degradation
However, many compounds can only be metabolized under reductive conditions.
Then anaerobic metabolism is needed.
![Page 54: 1 Groundwater Pollution Using the characteristics of living things as tools for environmental improvement - exercises & case studies](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21e67/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
One type of anaerobic bioremediation is reductive dehalogenation where the contaminants are made less toxic by removal of halogens such as chlorine or nitro groups.

At many contaminated sites, organisms naturally exist that can degrade the contaminants
But not all sites have organisms that work.
Some sites don’t have the right conditions (such as electron acceptors) for fast degradation of the contaminants.

In methanogenic bioremediation, the contaminants are converted to methane, carbon dioxide and traces of hydrogen.

Energetics
In order for energy to be released from an oxidation/reduction reaction, an overall negative Gibb’s free energy must exist. Different inorganic compounds can be used as terminal electron acceptors by bacteria during respiration. Anaerobic respiration usually gives lower energy than aerobic.
