Bioremediation ?
• Biology + Remediation = Bioremediation
• Biological organisms (bacteria, fungi, plant)
• Method used to clean the contaminated area
• High toxic to less toxic (or) non toxic
![Page 3: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Principles• Microorganisms - take pollutants from the
environment - used to enhance the growth and metabolic activity
• Bacteria, Fungi are well known for degrading complex molecules and transform the product into part of their metabolism
![Page 4: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Definition• The process whereby organic wastes are
biologically degraded under controlled conditions to an innocuous state.
• Bioremediation is the use of living organisms, primarily microorganisms, to degrade the environmental contaminants into less toxic forms.

Process• Microorganisms release enzymes to
breakdown the contaminant into digestible farm

BioventingThe most common in situ treatment Supplying air and nutrients through wells to contaminated soil to stimulate the indigenous bacteria. Bioventing employs low air flow rates and provides only the oxygen necessary for the biodegradation while minimizing volatilization and release of contaminants to the atmosphere.
It works for simple hydrocarbons and can be used where the contamination is deep under the surface.
![Page 8: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Biosparging• Biosparging involves the injection of air under
pressure below the water table to increase groundwater oxygen concentrations and enhance the rate of biological degradation of contaminants by naturally occurring bacteria.
• Biosparging increases the mixing in the saturated zone and there by increases the contact between soil and groundwater.
• Low cost of installing small - diameter air injection points allows considerable flexibility in the design and construction of the system.

Biosparging
![Page 11: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Biostimulation
• It involves supplying oxygen and nutrients by circulating aqueous solutions through contaminated soils to stimulate naturally occurring bacteria to degrade organic contaminants.
• It can be used for soil and groundwater. Generally, this technique includes conditions such as the infiltration of water - containing nutrients and oxygen.
![Page 12: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bioaugumentation• Bioremediation frequently involves the addition of
microorganisms indigenous or exogenous to the contaminated sites.
• Two factors limit the use of added microbial cultures in a land treatment unit:
1) nonindigenous cultures rarely compete well enough with an indigenous population to develop and sustain useful population levels and
2) most soils with long-term exposure to biodegradable waste have indigenous microorganisms that are effective degrades if the land treatment unit is well managed.
![Page 13: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Land forming• It is a simple technique in which contaminated soil
is excavated and spread over a prepared bed and periodically tilled until pollutants are degraded.
• The goal is to stimulate indigenous biodegradative microorganisms and facilitate their aerobic degradation of contaminants.
• In general, the practice is limited to the treatment of superficial 10–35 cm of soil.
• Since landfarming has the potential to reduce monitoring and maintenance costs, as well as clean-up liabilities, it has received much attention as a disposal alternative.
![Page 14: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Composting• Composting is a technique that involves
combining contaminated soil with nonhazardous organic amendants such as manure or agricultural wastes.
• The presence of these organic materials supports the development of a rich microbial population and elevated temperature characteristic of composting.
![Page 15: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Biopiles• Biopiles are a hybrid of landfarming and
composting. Essentially, engineered cells are constructed as aerated composted piles.
• Typically used for treatment of surface contamination with petroleum hydrocarbons they are a refined version of landfarming that tend to control physical losses of the contaminants by leaching and volatilization.
• Biopiles provide a favorable environment for indigenous aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.
![Page 16: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bioreactors• Slurry reactors or aqueous reactors are used for ex
situ treatment of contaminated soil and water pumped up from a contaminated plume.
• Bioremediation in reactors involves the processing of contaminated solid material (soil, sediment, sludge) or water through an engineered containment system.
• A slurry bioreactor may be defined as a containment vessel and apparatus used to create a three - phase (solid, liquid, and gas) mixing condition to increase the bioremediation rate of soil bound and water-soluble pollutants as a water slurry of the contaminated soil and biomass (usually indigenous microorganisms) capable of degrading target contaminants.
![Page 18: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Phytoremediation• Plants have been commonly used for the bioremediation process
called Phytoremedation, which is to use plants to decontaminated soil and water by extracting heavy metals or contaminants.
• Plants that are grown in polluted soil are specialized for the process of Phytoremedation.
• The plants roots can extract the contaminant, heavy metals, by one of the two ways, either break the contaminant down in the soil or to suck the contaminant up, and store it in the stem and leaves of the plant.
• Usually the plant will be harvest and removed from the site and burned.
• Phytoremediation process is used to satisfy environmental regulation and costs less then other alternatives.
• This process is very affective in cleaning polluted soil.
![Page 19: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types
• Phytoextraction• Phytotransformation• Phytostabilisation• Phytodegradation• Rhizofiltration
![Page 20: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Phytoextraction• The plants to accumulate contaminants into the
roots and aboveground shoots or leaves.
• This technique saves tremendous remediation cost by accumulating low levels of contaminants from a widespread area.
• Unlike the degradation mechanisms, this process produces a mass of plants and contaminants (usually metals) that can be transported for disposal or recycling.
![Page 21: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Phytotransformation• Refers to the uptake of organic
contaminants from soil, sediments, or water and, subsequently, their transformation to more stable, less toxic, or less mobile form.
• Metal chromium can be reduced from hexavalent to trivalent chromium, which is a less mobile and noncarcinogenic form.
![Page 22: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Phytostabilization
• The plants reduce the mobility and migration of contaminated soil.
• Leachable constituents are adsorbed and bound into the plant structure.
• They form a stable mass of plant from which the contaminants will not reenter the environment.
![Page 23: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phytodegradation
• Breakdown of contaminants through the activity existing in the rhizosphere.
• This activity is due to the presence of proteins and enzymes produced by the plants or by soil organisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi.
• Rhizodegradation is a symbiotic relationship that has evolved between plants and microbes.
• Plants provide nutrients necessary for the microbes to thrive, while microbes provide a healthier soil environment.
![Page 24: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rhizofiltration
• It is a water remediation technique that involves the uptake of contaminants by plant roots.
• Rhizofiltration is used to reduce contamination in natural wetlands and estuary areas.
![Page 25: Bioremediation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/56813a9b550346895da296d5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Limitations of Bioremediation
• Contaminant type & Concentration • Environment • Soil type condition & Proximity of ground
water• Nature of organism • Cost benefit ratios : Cost Vs Env. Impact • Does not apply to all surface • Length of bioremediation process

Saturday, December 22, 2007Bioremediation patent for Prof. K.M. Elizabeth
• Prof. K.M. Elizabeth of the Department of Microbiology in Gitam University has succeeded in ammonia removal from industrial effluents through a bio-remediation method and has obtained a patent for the method, which will be of use in steel industry in particular. The inventor claims ' the bacterium identified by him can remove 100 per cent ammonia within 24 hours, according to Nessler’s method, and 75 per cent according to the Russian method of Nesselerisation'. This is an indication of quality research work done in lesser known universities.
