【 摘 要 】

Increasing heavy metal pollution in water continues to endanger human health. The genus Shinella has potential for heavy metal bioremediation but has rarely been studied. In this study, we report that Shinella zoogloeoides PQ7 turns black in the presence of lead ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that PbS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by PQ7. Moreover, PQ7 was used as a biosorbent to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Biosorption performance was evaluated in terms of contact time, pH, biomass dosage and initial Pb(II) concentration. The equilibrium and kinetic data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model (R² = 0.986) and pseudo-second-order model (R² = 0.977), respectively. The maximum (q_max) Pb(II) adsorption reached 222.22 mg/g, which was higher than that of other bacteria reported in previous literature. SEM–EDS, XRD and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses also confirmed the adsorption of Pb(II) by the PQ7 cells. In conclusion, PQ7 is a promising strain in removing and recovering Pb(II) from wastewater.
