Metal(loid)s Removal Response to the Seasonal Freeze–Thaw Cycle in Semi-passive Pilot Scale Bioreactors
MINE WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT(2024)
摘要
There is an increasing demand for cost-effective semi-passive water treatment that can withstand challenging climatic conditions and effectively and sustainably manage mine-impacted water in (sub)arctic regions. This study investigated the ability of four pilot-scale bioreactors inoculated with locally sourced bacteria and affected by a freeze–thaw cycle to remove selenium and antimony. The bioreactors were operated at a Canadian (sub)arctic mine for a year. Two duplicate bioreactors were installed in a heated shed that was maintained at 5 °C over the winter, while two other duplicates were installed outdoors and left to freeze. The removal rate of selenium and antimony was monitored weekly, while a genomic characterization of the microbial populations in the bioreactors was performed monthly. The overall percentage of selenium and antimony removal was similar in the outside (10–93
