Abstract
A novel strategy was proposed for preparing micro-scale monodisperses nitrifying bacteria (NB) encapsulated Ca-Alg@CaCO3 colloidosomes by exploiting capillary microfluidic device, as an attempt to treat ammonium-nitrogen wastewater in an environment-friendly, efficient and repeatable manner based on the aqueous two-phase (ATPS) system. By complying with the spatial confined urease mediate biomineralization reactions, ATPS droplets (Dextran in Polyethylene glycol) containing urease, NB regent and alginate were used as templates to prepare 500 μm Ca-Alg@CaCO3 colloidosomes with 16.48 Mpa mechanical strength. The activity of NB encapsulated in the colloidosomes was high. The simulated wastewater treated with the colloidosomes achieved a high removal rate even at harsh temperature and pH value. In both simulated and real wastewater treatment, prolonged reuse times (216 h) with high removal rate (＞90%, after being applied 72 h) were obtained by using Ca-Alg@CaCO3 colloidosomes, as compared with that (96 h) by using general alginate microbeads.
