Upgrading and recycling spent catalysts into high-perform bio-catalysts can address palladium resource shortages and environmental problems. By using Escherichia coli as an electron transfer intermediate, the recovery efficiency of palladium exceeded 98.6%.
Upgrading and recycling Palladium (Pd) from spent catalysts may address Pd resource shortages and environmental problems. In this paper, Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used as an electron transfer intermediate to upcycle spent Pd-based catalysts into high-perform hexavalent chromium bio-catalysts. The results showed that Pd (0) nanoparticles (NPs) combined with the bacterial surface changed the electron transfer by enhancing the cell conductivity, thus promoting the removal rate of Pd(II). The recovery efficiency of Pd exceeded 98.6%. Notably, E. coli heightened the adsorption of H center dot and HCOO center dot via electron transfer of the Pd NPs electron-rich centre, resulting in a higher catalytic performance of the recycled spent catalysed the reduction of 20 ppm Cr(VI) under mild conditions within 18 min, in which maintained above 98% catalytic activity after recycling five times. This efficiency was found to be higher than that of the reported Pd-based catalysts. Hence, an electron transfer mechanism for E. coli recovery Pd-based catalyst under electron donor adjusting is proposed. These findings provide an important method for recovering Pd NPs from spent catalysts and are crucial to effectively reuse Pd resources.
