Abstract: | A new biological inspired method to produce nanopalladium is the precipitation of Pd on a bacterium, i.e., bio-Pd. This bio-Pd
can be applied as catalyst in dehalogenation reactions. However, large amounts of hydrogen are required as electron donor
in these reactions resulting in considerable costs. This study demonstrates how bacteria, cultivated under fermentative conditions,
can be used to reductively precipitate bio-Pd catalysts and generate the electron donor hydrogen. In this way, one could avoid
the costs coupled to hydrogen supply. The catalytic activities of Pd(0) nanoparticles produced by different strains of bacteria
(bio-Pd) cultivated under fermentative conditions were compared in terms of their ability to dehalogenate the recalcitrant
aqueous pollutants diatrizoate and trichloroethylene. While all of the fermentative bio-Pd preparations followed first order
kinetics in the dehalogenation of diatrizoate, the catalytic activity differed systematically according to hydrogen production
and starting Pd(II) concentration in solution. Batch reactors with nanoparticles formed by Citrobacter braakii showed the highest diatrizoate dehalogenation activity with first order constants of 0.45 ± 0.02 h−1 and 5.58 ± 0.6 h−1 in batches with initial concentrations of 10 and 50 mg L−1 Pd, respectively. Nanoparticles on C. braakii, used in a membrane bioreactor treating influent containing 20 mg L−1 diatrizoate, were capable of dehalogenating 22 mg diatrizoate mg−1 Pd over a period of 19 days before bio-Pd catalytic activity was exhausted. This study demonstrates the possibility to use
the combination of Pd(II), a carbon source and bacteria under fermentative conditions for the abatement of environmental halogenated
contaminants. |
