Abstract

An aerobic microbiological process was tested in 1.5 L stirred tank reactors for the treatment of dinitrotoluenes (DNTs)[e.g., 2.4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT)] in the test culture of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which had previously characterized. Both 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT were completely degraded within 10 days and 14 days of incubation, respectively. Addition of the secondary carbon was essential to degrade DNTs, and little degradation was achieved in the absence of the secondary carbons. The effect of additional nitrogens on the degradation of DNTs was evaluated. Complete degradation of DNTs was observed in the absence of any additional nitrogens, whereas DNTs were partially degraded in the growth media with additional nitrogens. Both HPLC and GC-MS were used to detect and verify the residual DNTs and their intermediates. As the results, the HPLC and GC-MS chromatograms demonstrated that the both parent compounds, 2, 4-DNT and 2,6-DNT, and respective intermediates, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene and 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene, could be successfully identified under the analytical conditions.

1.5 L 교반 탱크반응조에서 이미 그 특성 이 밝혀진 TNT 분해세균인 Stenorophomonas maltophilia의 배양을 이용하여 dinitrotoluenes (DNTs) [2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT)]를 호기적 조건하에서 미생물학적으로 제거하는 시험을 하였다. 2,4-DNT와 2,6-DNT는 각각 10일과 14일의 배양기간 중에 완전히 분해되었다. 이차 탄소는 DNT리 분해에 필수적이었으며 이차 탄소가 없는 상태에서는 거의 분해되지 않았다. DNTs의 분해에 이차 탄소가 미치는 효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 이차 질소원이 없는 상태에서 DNTs는 완전히 분해되었으나 이차 탄소원이 첨가된 배지에서는 부분적으로 분해되었다. HPLC와 GC-MS가 잔존 DNTs와 중간대사산물을 확인하기 위하여 사용되었다. 그 결과, HPLC와 GC-MS chromatograms은 대상 화합물인 2,4-DNT와 2,6-DNT, 그리고 각각의 중간대사산물인 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene과 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene을 성공적으로 확인할 수 있었다.
