Journal ArticleDOI
Biogenic nano-magnetite and nano-zero valent iron treatment of alkaline Cr(VI) leachate and chromite ore processing residue.
Mathew P. Watts,Victoria S. Coker,Stephen A. Parry,Richard A. D. Pattrick,Russell Thomas,Robert M. Kalin,Jonathan R. Lloyd +6 more
TL;DR: Remediation of high pH Cr(VI) contamination related to COPR and its groundwater by biogenic nano-magnetite and nano-zero valent iron and stabilization of the COPR Cr( VI) source by addition of nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective treatment of alkaline Cr(VI) contaminated leachate using a novel Pd-bionanocatalyst: Impact of electron donor and aqueous geochemistry.
Mathew P. Watts,Victoria S. Coker,Stephen A. Parry,Russell Thomas,Robert M. Kalin,Jonathan R. Lloyd +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, microbially synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were functionalized with Pd(0), creating a highly reactive, magnetically recoverable, nano-scale catalyst (Pd-BnM).
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the genetic and metabolic diversity of thiocyanate-degrading microbial consortia
Mathew P. Watts,John W. Moreau +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual model is synthesized to inform new biotechnologies for thiocyanate remediation based on insights into the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur and nitrogen in bioreactor systems that allow tailoring of the microbial metabolism towards meeting effluent composition requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of Alkaline Cr(VI)-Contaminated Leachate with an Alkaliphilic Metal-Reducing Bacterium
TL;DR: A metal-reducing bacterium, belonging to the Halomonas genus, was found to exhibit growth concomitant to Cr(VI) reduction under alkaline conditions (pH 10), suggesting potential for its use as an in situ treatment of COPR and other alkaline Cr( VI)-contaminated environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of an autotrophic bioreactor microbial consortium degrading thiocyanate
TL;DR: This study cultured an autotrophic SCN−-degrading consortium directly from gold mine tailings, and found their 18S rRNA genes to be most closely related to sequences from bacterivorous Amoebozoa through combined chemical and phylogenetic analyses.
