Performance and mechanisms for V(v) bio-reduction by straw: key influencing factors.

ABSTRACT: A high concentration of vanadium [V(v)] in groundwater is extremely harmful for humans. Weak movability and low toxicity after microbial V(v) reduction have attracted remarkable attention, especially for using solid carbon sources. However, the influencing factors remain unclear. In this study, the initial V(v) concentration, inocula amount and straw dosage were examined to ascertain the mechanisms behind them. Increasing the initial V(v) concentration led to the decrease of the V(v) removal efficiency, which was also positively correlated with the straw dosage within a certain range. The initial sludge amount was not a main factor affecting microbial V(v) removal in this study. With the initial amount of 10 mg L^-1 V(v), 25 mL initial inocula and 5 g straw, 88.2% of V(v) was rem
