Bioremediation Process for Sediments Contaminated by Heavy Metals:  Feasibility Study on a Pilot Scale

The core stages of a sediment remediation processthe conditioning of dredged sludge by plants and the solid-bed leaching of heavy metals using microbially produced sulfuric acidwere tested on a pilot scale using a highly polluted river sediment. Conditioning was performed in 50 m3 basins at sludge...

description The core stages of a sediment remediation processthe conditioning of dredged sludge by plants and the solid-bed leaching of heavy metals using microbially produced sulfuric acidwere tested on a pilot scale using a highly polluted river sediment. Conditioning was performed in 50 m3 basins at sludge depths of 1.8 m. During one vegetation period the anoxic sludge turned into a soil-like oxic material and became very permeable to water. Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) was found to be best suited for conditioning. Bioleaching was carried out in an aerated solid-bed reactor of 2000 L working volume using oxic soil-like sediment supplemented with 2% sulfur. When applying conditioned sediment, the oxidation of easily degradable organic matter by heterotrophic microbes increased the temperature up to 50°C in the early leaching phase, which in turn temporarily inhibited the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Nevertheless, most of the metal contaminants were leached within 21 days. Zn, Cd, Mn, Co, and Ni were removed by 61−81%, Cu was reduced by 21%, while Cr and Pb were nearly immobile. A cost-effectiveness assessment of the remediation process indicates it to be a suitable treatment for restoring polluted sediments for beneficial use.
