Production of bioflocculant using feather waste as nitrogen source and its use in recycling of straw ash-washing wastewater with low-density and high pH property.

Abstract:

:Straw ash-washing wastewater is generated in the process of straw combustion power generation and potash fertilizer production. The suspended solid particles in straw ash-washing wastewater are hard to be settled down due to its low-density and high pH properties which inhibit the application of traditional chemical flocculants. Bioflocculant has good advantages in flocculating activity, biodegradability and adaptability of wastewater pH fluctuation. However, high production cost limited the large-scale applications of bioflocculant in wastewater treatment. In this study, the feasibility of using feather waste as cheap alternative nitrogen source of alkaliphilic Bacillus agaradhaerens C9 to produce bioflocculant was investigated. The results showed that strain C9 could simultaneously produce keratinase and bioflocculant, and thereby producing bioflocculant (named as BFF) using feather waste as cheap nitrogen source. The optimal fermentation conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of feather waste and BFF production was 40 g/L feather wastes, 16 g/L glucose, 37 °C and pH 9.5, and the highest yield of 2.5 g/L was obtained. Moreover, BFF was used to flocculate straw ash-washing wastewater which exhibits low-density and high pH properties, and the highest flocculating rate of 93.1% was achieved when 6.0 mg/L BFF was added. This study reported for the first time that feather waste was used as inexpensive alternative nitrogen source for producing bioflocculant which could treat straw ash-washing wastewater, thereby promoting the resourceful utilization of feather waste and the reuse of straw ash-washing wastewater.
