PG - 128102 LID - S0304-3894(21)03071-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128102 [doi] AB - Fluoride (F(-)) and calcium (Ca(2+)) are primary causes of skeleton fluorosis and scaling, posing a grievous threat to aquatic lives and public health. Therefore, a novel strategy for polluted groundwater in immobilized biofilm reactor based on the anaerobic microbial induced calcium precipitation (MICP) was proposed, in which loofah was used as a multifunctional strain Cupriavidus sp. W12 growth carrier. Effects of different hydraulic retention time (HRT), initial F(-)concentration, and pH on the synchronous removal of pollutants were examined. Under stable operation conditions, the highest efficiencies for Ca(2+), F(-), and nitrate (NO(3)(-)-N) reached 76.73%, 94.92%, and 100%, respectively. Furthermore, gas chromatography (GC), Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscope (SEM-EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) comprehensively clarified the mechanism of pollutants removal. The results elucidated that the removal of various pollutants was achieved through a combination of anaerobic MICP, adsorption, and co-precipitation. Besides, high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that Cupriavidus had a predominant proportion of 42.36% in the reactor and had stability against pH impact. As the first application of a biofilm reactor based on anaerobic MICP, it put forward a new insight for efficient defluorination and decalcification. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
