This study explores the effects of Fenton pre-oxidation under different conditions on the indigenous bacterial communities and the mechanism of soil C/H conversion and rapid degradation of long-chain alkanes. The results show that the rapid degradation group has a shorter half-life period compared to the slow degradation group. After pre-oxidation, the bacterial quantity and ammonia nitrogen consumption are higher in the rapid degradation group, leading to a higher C/H conversion rate and degradation rate of long-chain alkanes. The study also reveals changes in the bacterial community after proper pre-oxidation.
This study aimed to explore the effects of Fenton pre-oxidation under different conditions on the indigenous bacterial communities and the mechanism of soil C/H conversion and rapid degradation of long-chain alkanes. The soil total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) content for this study was 27998 +/- 883 mg/kg of soil. The results showed that the half-life period of the rapid long-chain degradation group was 266 days faster than that of the slow long-chain degradation group. After pre-oxidation, the number of bacteria in the fast group (5.07 log CFU/g) was higher than slow group (2.57 log CFU/g). Further studies showed that the consumption of ammonia nitrogen in the long-chain rapid degradation group was 1.37 times higher than that in the long-chain slow degradation group. The mapping characterization by DEEM revealed a high level of humic acid-like and organic matter produced by microbial metabolism in the fast group, and the long-chain degradation group had higher C/H conversion (35%), thus improving the degradation rate of long-chain alkanes (47%). High biomass and ammonia nitrogen consumption promoted higher C/H conversion. After proper pre-oxidation, the bacterial community changed, with an average relative abundance of 34% for Actinobacteria. This study has good engineering application value.
