Description

Photocatalytic removal of U(VI) has attracted much attention due to its advantages such as no secondary pollution and less energy consumption. Synergistic removal of U(VI) by Alcaligenes faecalis and exogenous electron shuttle AQS (anthraguinone-2-sulfonate) under illumination condition was investigated. The results show that 0.16 g L−1 AQS can apparently accelerate the electron transfer and promote the growth of A. faecalis. The reduction rate of U(VI) enhances by 17.50%. The maximum removal efficiency of U(VI) reaches up to 80.7%. These results suggest that proper exogenous electron shuttles can accelerate photocatalytic removal of U(VI) cooperating with microorganisms.
