ABSTRACT
Sodium sulfide (Na2S) was used as an inducer to regulate the components of Bacillus vallismortis sp. EPS (Extracellular Polymeric Substances). The main objective of this study was to improve the content of sulfhydryl protein and the adsorption property of EPS to Zn (â
¡) that as an typical heavy metal. The results showed that the maximum EPS production of 105.58â¯mg/g VSS coupling with doubled increase in protein in which the contant of -SH increased by 48.2% from 104.15 to 154.36⯵mol/L were recorded in the presence of 20â¯mg/L Na2S. Under this condition, the adsorption capacity of S-EPS (EPS with added exogenous Na2S) for Zn (â
¡) was highest. The kinetics of the adsorption process of Zn (â
¡) by the S-EPS can be well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model and the theoretical maximum adsorption amount of 979.09â¯mg/g EPS could be obtained. The results of 3D-EEM and FTIR analyses, illustrated that -SH, CO, and N-H/C-N played major roles in the removal of Zn (â
¡) by S-EPS. The results obtained in this study demonstrated that the addition of sulfur source could increase the content of sulfhydryl protein, and effectively regulate the content of chemical composition, expecially for the sulfhydryl of EPS, and thereby greatly improving the removal efficiency of heavy metals, which showed a great application prospect in the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution.
