A sulfate-mediated bioelectrochemical system was designed to enhance ROX degradation and in situ immobilization of inorganic arsenic, exhibiting a synergistic effect on HAPA degradation. This technique is promising for enhanced arsenic decontamination of organoarsenic-bearing manure/wastewater.
Roxarsone (ROX) is widely used in animal farms, thereby producing organoarsenic-bearing manure/wastewater. ROX cannot be completely degraded and nor can its arsenical metabolites be effectively immobilized during anaerobic digestion, potentially causing arsenic contamination upon discharge to the environment. Herein, we designed and tested a sulfate-mediated bioelectrochemical system (BES) to enhance ROX degradation and in situ immobilization of the released inorganic arsenic. Using our BES (0.5 V voltage and 350 mu M sulfate), ROX and its metabolite, 4-hydroxy-3-amino-phenylarsonic acid (HAPA), were completely degraded within 13-22 days. In contrast, the degradation efficiency of ROX and HAPA was <85% during 32-day anaerobic digestion. In a sulfate-mediated BES, 75.0-83.2% of the total arsenic was immobilized in the sludge, significantly more compared to the anaerobic digestion (34.1-57.3%). Our results demonstrate that the combination of sulfate amendment and voltage application exerted a synergetic effect on enhancing HAPA degradation and sulfide-driven arsenic precipitation. This finding was further verified using real swine wastewater. A double-cell BES experiment indicated that As(V) and sulfate were transported from the anode to the cathode chamber and coprecipitated as crystalline alacranite in the cathode chamber. These findings suggest that the sulfate-mediated BES is a promising technique for enhanced arsenic decontamination of organoarsenic-bearing manure/wastewater.
