The aerobic microbial degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) and phenol was examined under oxygen-limiting conditions in the presence of three known oxygen-releasing materials: (1) polyvinylidene chloride-encapsulated sodium percarbonate; (2) REGENESIS oxygen-releasing compound (magnesium peroxide); and (3) PermeOx® solid peroxygen (calcium peroxide). The degradation of PNP or phenol in buffered solutions was measured in 40-mL reaction chambers containing 25 to 300 mg of oxygen-releasing materials in the presence of immobilized chemical-degrading bacteria. Radiometric studies were used to determine total chemical mineralization and material balances of 14C-residues. Degradation of PNP and phenol increased in proportion to both the supplemented amount and the relative oxygen content of each oxygen-releasing material. Comparison of actual to theoretical degradation, based on stoichiometry of balanced equations for mineralization, showed that chemical uptake (primary degradation) at lower concentrations of oxygen-releasing materials was two-fold higher than could be mineralized theoretically. Radiometric studies confirmed the relationships between chemical uptake, cellular 14C-residues, mineralization, and the concentration of oxygen-releasing material. Further studies with PermeOx(identified supplementation levels required to support aerobic bacterial mineralization of PNP and phenol at levels similar to those of aerobic controls. These results show how the concentration of oxygen-releasing materials affects the rate and extent of aerobic chemical under oxygen-limiting conditions. |
