Study on Remediation of HMW-PAHs Contaminated Soil by Fusarium sp.- Starch-Alfalfa in Coal Mine Area
The pot experiment was conducted to investigate how alfalfa
Fusarium sp. ZHH2
starch as well as their combination of different size could remove high molecular weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) in agricultural soil in a coal mine area. The results showed that the removal rate of 6 types of individual HMW-PAHs (BbF
BkF
BaP
DbA
InP and BghiP) was in the range of 4.22%~45.01% in alfalfa treatment (M). There were significant differences among the combined treatments using different inoculum size of ZH-H2 and alfalfa (H1+M
H2+M
H3+M) for the degradation of HMW-PAHs. And the range of removal rates of 6 types of HMW-PAHs were 11.01%~ 45.30% and 15.20%~43.58% for treatment H1+M and H2+M
respectively. Compared with M treatment
the removal rates of BkF in teatment H1+M and H2+M increased by 1.62 times and 2.60 times respectively
whereas the other PAHs had no significant difference. However
compared to treatment M
H3+M treatment had a significant negative effect on the removal of HMW-PAHs . On the basis of H and M combination
starch of different size was added to improve the removal of these HMW-PAHs in soil. Further
the effect of the three factors treatments (D1+H1+M
D1+H2+M
D1+H3+M
D2+H1+M
D2+H2+M and D2+H3+M) on HMW-PAHs removal was analyzed. The results showed that the removal rates of BbF
BkF
BaP
InP
DbA and BghiP in the D1+H2+M treatment were the highest among all treatments of three factor combinations
which were 28.87%
54.59%
47.04%
65.91%
66.42%
and 71.88% respectively. And there was no significant difference between D1+H1+M and D1+H2+M in the removal of each HMW-PAH. Compared with H2+M treatment
the removal rate in the D1+H2+M treatment increased significantly by 0.46
2.59
1.71
1.15
0.52
and 1.37 times
respectively (P < 0.05). Therefore
the combination of Fusarium sp. ZH-H2
starch and alfalfa offers a suitable alternative for phytoremediation of aged PAH-contaminated soil in coal mining areas
with a recommended inoculation size of 0.5 g Fusarium sp. ZHH2
0.25g starch per kg soil with the growth of alfalfa.
