Characteristics of removal of hydrogen sulfide of two-stage packed tower
effector with immobilized sulfur oxidizing bacteria isolated
from sewage treatment plant
ϡ*
Abstracts
This study has implemented an experiment in which hydrogen sulfide was removed by establishing a two-stage
packed tower effector filled with nutritious medium and also filling a tower that was immobilized in ceramic media
after isolating and identifying the sulfur oxidizing bacteria from a sewage treatment plant. As a result, strains
isolated from the sewage treatment plant were found to be similar, including Bacillus fusiformis, Bacillus anthracis
sp., Paenibacillus sp., Serratia marcescens sp., Bacillus thuringiensis. The effector that immobilized isolated strains
in the ceramic media achieved an approximately 90% removal rate of hydrogen sulfide, while the sterilized ceramic
media not immobilized with isolated strains showed a removal rate of about 65%. In addition, the removal rate
of hydrogen sulfide in the primary media packing effector immobilized with sulfur oxidizing bacteria was about
92%, while the secondary effector filled with medium had a hydrogen sulfide removal rate near 100%. In addition,
90% efficiency of removal was shown in conditions of EBCT 60s in the experiment that investigated removal
rate of hydrogen sulfide according to residence-time, while the efficiency was rapidly reduced up to 45% in
conditions of EBCT 30s. On the other hand, when operating for an extended period time while increasing the
concentration of injected hydrogen sulfide, the amount of sulfate was increased from 2 mg/L to 12.7 mg/L, and
pH was rapidly reduced to 2.7.
