The Role of Bacillus subtilis in Wastewater Treatment
Specifically, these are the main aspects of Bacillus subtilis’ effect in Wastewater Treatment:
1. Decomposing organic matter and removing ammonia nitrogen: Bacillus subtilis is an aerobic bacterium that can decompose organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, convert them into inorganic substances, and purify water quality.
2. Adsorption and degradation of heavy metal ions: Bacillus subtilis can also adsorb and degrade heavy metal ions, which has a good treatment effect on wastewater containing heavy metals.
3. Inhibiting the growth of other harmful bacteria: Bacillus subtilis can inhibit the growth of other harmful bacteria, further purifying water quality.
The advantages of Bacillus subtilis in wastewater treatment:
1. Efficient: Bacillus subtilis has high processing efficiency and fast reaction speed.
2. Strong resistance to pressure: able to adapt to various environments and effectively treat various pollutants in sewage.
3. Good stability: able to grow and reproduce in different environments, with excellent stability.
4. Environmental protection: There will be no secondary pollution during the treatment process, and there is no harm to the environment.
Application examples of Bacillus subtilis in wastewater treatment:
Bacillus subtilis has been widely used in wastewater treatment. It can be used as a filler for biofilters or directly added to wastewater for treatment. In the process of sewage treatment, Bacillus subtilis can effectively remove pollutants such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, and treat sewage into clean water that can be directly discharged.
