Fe(0)-Supported Autotrophic Denitrification
Abstract
Proof of concept was obtained that Fe(0) can stoichio metrically reduce nitrate to ammonium and that cathodic hydrogen [produced during anaerobic Fe(0) corrosion by water] can sustain microbial denitrification to reduce nitrate to more innocuous products (i.e., N 2 O and N 2 ). Autotrophic, denitrifying growth on Fe(0) was proven through the use of a dual-flask apparatus. Cathodic H 2 from a flask containing Fe(0) was allowed to diffuse to another (anoxic) flask containing a pure culture of Paracoccus denitrificans, where denitrification and microbial growth were observed. Nitrate reduction and end product distribution were studied in batch reactors amended with either steel wool or Fe(0) powder. Steel wool, with a smaller specific surface area, was less reactive, and its corrosion did not significantly increase the pH of the solution. This allowed for a greater participation of denitrifiers in the nitrate removal process, which increased nitrate removal rates and transformed a greater portion of the added nitrate to innocuous gases rather than to ammonium. Combining denitrifiers with the more reactive Fe(0) powder did not increase removal rates or decrease the proportion of nitrate reduced to ammonium. This was attributed to a corrosion-induced increase in pH above the tolerance range of the bacteria (pH > 10). Nitrate removal was sustained over 4 months in flow-through columns packed with steel wool and seeded with autotrophic denitrifiers. Increasing the hydraulic retention time from 0.67 to 2.33 days increased the nitrate removal efficiency and decreased the fraction of nitrate reduced to ammonium. The finding that Fe(0) can sustain autotrophic denitrification may have practical applications to treat nitrate-contaminated waters in ex-situ or in-situ reactive filters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
