摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to the development of technologies and strategies for using bacterial strains in bioremediation and pollution control. More particularly, the present invention relates to the establishment of several formulation technologies suitable for the production and storage of organic contaminant-degrading bacteria, and their use in biodegradation in the aqueous phase (surface water, groundwater), soil (slurry, composting, landfarming), and sediment (composting, in-situ treatment). The formulation technologies include encapsulation or immobilization of the microbes using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), vermiculite, or polyurethane matrix. Additives, including nutrients, densification agents, or adsorbents can also be co-encapsulated or co-immobilized therewith.</p> |
