Microwave (MW) and high‐intensity ultrasound (US) provide innovative techniques for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). When Fenton's reagent is used to treat industrial wastes, organic pollutants are degraded by highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (HO·) that can oxidize almost any organic compound to carbon dioxide and water. These reactions, when carried out under US or MW, are faster and much more efficient. The present work assesses the combined effect of US and MW using a new flow reactor developed in our laboratory. In this 5 L pilot reactor the liquid was pumped in parallel through a modified domestic MW oven and through a cell where it was irradiated with two US generators working at 20 and 300 kHz, while MW irradiation took place in a modified domestic oven. We studied the degradation of 2,4‐dibromophenol (0.1 g L?1 in water) by Fenton's reagent, assessing the contribution of each energy source to the overall effect, and found that MW and US‐300 kHz played the main role. A modest amount of oxidant (6 mL 30% H2O2 per 1 L of polluted water) sufficed to achieve complete degradation within 6 h, at which time organic compounds were no longer detectable. Even if no Fenton's reagent was added, about one half of the pollutant was degraded after 3 h irradiation. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND Removal of phenol from industrial waste waters involves basic techniques namely extraction, biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation, etc. Among the available processes, the oxidation of phenols using H2O2 is a suitable alternative because of low cost and high oxidizing power. The application of an oxidation process for the decomposition of stable organic compounds in waste water leads to the total degradation of the compounds rather than transferring from one form to another. Since oxidation using Fenton's reagent is more dependent on pH, in this present work it was proposed to use H2O2 coupled with microwave irradiation. The effects of initial phenol concentration, microwave power and the irradiation time on the amount of decomposition were studied. RESULTS: In the present work experiments were conducted to estimate the percentage degradation of phenol for different initial concentrations of phenol (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg L?1), microwave power input (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900 W) for different irradiation times. The kinetics of the degradation process were examined through experimental data and the decomposition rate follows first‐order kinetics. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the design parameters for the present process. The interaction effect between the variables and the effect of interaction on to the responses (percentage decomposition of phenol) of the process was analysed and discussed in detail. The optimum values for the design parameters of the process were evaluated (initial phenol concentration 300 mg L?1, microwave power output 668 W, and microwave irradiation time 60 s, giving phenol degradation 82.39%) through RSM by differential approximation, and were confirmed by experiment. CONCLUSION: The decomposition of phenol was carried out using H2O2 coupled with microwave irradiation for different initial phenol concentrations, microwave power input and irradiation times. The phenol degradation process follows first‐order kinetics. Optimization of the process was carried out through RSM by forming a design matrix using CCD. The optimized conditions were validated using experiments. The information is of value for the scale up of the oxidation process for the removal of phenol from wastewater.

Diazinon is a widely used organophosphorus insecticide that is an important pollutant in aquatic environments. The chemical removal of diazinon has been studied using UV radiation, ozone, Fenton's reagent, UV radiation plus hydrogen peroxide, ozone plus hydrogen peroxide and photo‐Fenton as oxidation processes. In the photodegradation process the observed quantum yields had values ranging between 2.42 × 10?2 and 6.36 × 10?2 mol E?1. Similarly, the ozonation reaction gave values for the rate constant ranging between 0.100 and 0.193 min?1. In the combined systems UV/H2O2 and O3/H2O2 the partial contributions to the global oxidation reaction of the direct and radical pathways were deduced. In the Fenton's reagent and photo‐Fenton systems, the mechanism of reaction has been partially discussed, and the predominant role of the radical pathway pointed out. Additionally, the rate constant for the reaction between diazinon and the hydroxyl radicals was determined, with the value 8.4 × 109 L mol?1 s?1 obtained. A comparison of the different oxidation systems tested under the same operating conditions revealed that UV radiation alone had a moderate oxidation efficiency, which is enhanced in the case of ozone, while the most efficient oxidant is the photo‐Fenton system.

BACKGROUND: In biological treatment of coking wastewater, phenol may decrease the treatment efficiency because of its high concentration and toxicity to microorganisms. Bioaugmentation has been regarded as a good improvement of the traditional biological treatment using isolated degrading strains. In this study, two phenol degrading strains, Pseudomonas sp. PCT01 and PTS02, were isolated and investigated for degradation ability and application to real coking wastewater treatment. RESULTS: Complete phenol degradation was achieved after 18 h inoculation in medium containing 229‐461 mg L?1 of phenol for both strains. The presence of phenol, pyridine and other compounds in mixed substrate or in coking wastewater prolonged the degradation to 20‐32 h with an initial phenol concentration of 160‐280 mg L?1. The study of degradation kinetics yielded a two‐stage model to describe the effect of the initial phenol concentration and inhibitory compounds on phenol degradation. The highest degradation rate constant of the second stage, 1.25 h?1 for PCT01 and 0.75 h?1 for PTS02, was obtained at low phenol concentration in a single substrate. CONCLUSION: It was found that both strains could degrade phenol effectively and maintain their phenol degradation ability in coking wastewater, and therefore could be used for bioaugmentation treatment of coking wastewater.

BACKGROUND: A novel bacterial strain, Gulosibacter sp. YZ4, has been isolated from activated sludge. Its application potential for phenol biodegradation has not yet been reported, therefore, in this study, biodegradation tests using strain YZ4 were executed under different conditions. RESULTS: The strain was identified as a new member of the genus Gulosibacter and nominated as Gulosibacter sp. YZ4. Phenol biodegradation tests showed that strain YZ4 could thoroughly biodegrade 1000 mg L?1 phenol across a wide temperature range from 10 to 42 °C and pH range 5 to 11. Degradation of 1000 mg L?1 phenol was not inhibited by the coexistence of p‐cresol or quinoline. During phenol degradation, strain YZ4 excreted both phenol hydroxylase and catechol 1,2‐dioxygenase to efficiently metabolize phenol. At 36 °C, pH 7.5, strain YZ4 could effectively degrade phenol at concentrations as high as 2000 mg L?1 within 76 h. Haldane's model with the parameters obtained from the experiments could successfully describe the behavior of the phenol biodegradation by the strain YZ4. CONCLUSIONS: The strain YZ4 has a high potential for applications in phenol wastewater treatment in view of its adaptability to temperature and pH fluctuations and great tolerance to other coexistent toxics.

BACKGROUND: Phenol and hexavalent chromium are considered industrial pollutants that pose severe threats to human health and the environment. The two pollutants can be found together in aquatic environments originating from mixed discharges of many industrial processes, or from a single industry discharge. The main objective of this work was to study the feasibility of using phenol as an electron donor for Cr(VI) reduction, thus achieving the simultaneous biological removal/reduction of the two pollutants in a packed‐bed reactor. RESULTS: A pilot‐scale packed‐bed reactor was used to estimate phenol removal with simultaneous Cr(VI) reduction through biological mechanisms, using a new mixed bacterial culture originated from Cr(VI)‐reducing and phenol‐degrading bacteria, operated in draw–fill mode with recirculation. Experiments were performed for feed Cr(VI) concentration of about 5.5 mg L?1, while phenol concentration ranged from 350 to 1500 mg L?1. The maximum reduction/removal rates achieved were 0.062 g Cr(VI) L?1 d?1 and 3.574 g phenol L?1 d?1, for a phenol concentration of 500 mg L?1. CONCLUSION: Phenol removal with simultaneous biological Cr(VI) reduction is feasible in a packed‐bed attached growth bioreactor. Phenol was found to inhibit Cr(VI) reduction, while phenol removal was rather unaffected by Cr(VI) concentration increase. However, the recorded removal rates of phenol and Cr(VI) were found to be much lower than those obtained from previous research, where the two pollutants were examined separately.

BACKGROUND: A highly stable Fe/γ‐Al2O3 catalyst for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation has been studied using phenol as target pollutant. The catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of γ‐Al2O3 with an aqueous solution of Fe(NO3)3· 9H2O. The influence of pH, temperature, catalyst and H2O2 doses, as well as the initial phenol concentration has been analyzed. RESULTS: The reaction temperature and initial pH significantly affect both phenol conversion and total organic carbon removal. Working at 50 °C, an initial pH of 3, 100 mg L?1 of phenol, a dose of H2O2 corresponding to the stoichiometric amount and 1250 mg L?1 of catalyst, complete phenol conversion and a total organic carbon removal efficiency close to 80% were achieved. When the initial phenol concentration was increased to 1500 mg L?1, a decreased efficiency in total organic carbon removal was observed with increased leaching of iron that can be related to a higher concentration of oxalic acid, as by‐product from catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of phenol. CONCLUSION: A laboratory synthesized γ‐Al2O3 supported Fe has shown potential application in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of phenolic wastewaters. The catalyst showed remarkable stability in long‐term continuous experiments with limited Fe leaching, < 3% of the initial loading. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Most of the kinetic studies on nitrification have been performed in diluted salts medium. In this work, the ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) was determined by respirometry at different ammonia (0.01 and 33.5 mg N‐NH3 L?1), nitrite (0–450 mg N‐NO2? L?1) and nitrate (0 and 275 mg N‐NO3? L?1) concentrations in a saline medium at 30 °C and pH 7.5. Sodium azide was used to uncouple the ammonia and nitrite oxidation, so as to measure independently the AOR. It was determined that ammonia causes substrate inhibition and that nitrite and nitrate exhibit product inhibition upon the AOR. The effects of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate were represented by the Andrews equation (maximal ammonia oxidation rate, rAOMAX, = 43.2 [mg N‐NH3 (g VSSAO h)?1]; half saturation constant, KSAO, = 0.11 mg N‐NH3 L?1; inhibition constant KIAO, = 7.65 mg N‐NH3 L?1), by the non‐competitive inhibition model (inhibition constant, KINI, = 176 mg N‐NO2? L?1) and by the partially competitive inhibition model (inhibition constant, KINA, = 3.3 mg N‐NO3? L?1; α factor = 0.24), respectively. The rAOMAX value is smaller, and the KSAO value larger, than the values reported in diluted salts medium; the KIAO value is comparable to those reported. Process simulations with the kinetic model in batch nitrifying reactors showed that the inhibitory effects of nitrite and nitrate are significant for initial ammonia concentrations larger than 100 mg N‐NH4+ L?1.

The oxidation of some chlorophenols: 4‐chlorophenol, 2,4‐dichlorophenol, 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol, 2,3,4,6‐tetrachlorophenol, tetrachlorocatechol (3,4,5,6‐tetrachloro‐2‐hydroxy phenol) and 4‐chloroguaiacol (4‐chloro‐2‐methoxy phenol) has been studied via single photodecomposition produced by polychromatic UV irradiation, oxidation by hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton's reagent (hydrogen peroxide plus ferrous ions), and degradation by hydroxyl radicals produced by combinations of UV irradiation plus hydrogen peroxide, and UV irradiation plus hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions (photo‐Fenton system). These organics have been selected as models of chloro‐phenolic derivative pollutants present in wastewaters and groundwaters. The degradation levels obtained in each process are reported. The quantum yields in the single photodecomposition reaction and the rate constants between the chlorophenols and the hydroxyl radicals in the reaction with Fenton's reagent are determined. Finally, the additional contributions to the photodecomposition promoted by the radical reaction in the combined UV/H2O2 and photo‐Fenton systems are also evaluated. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

In this study, the photocatalytic oxidation of hazardous arsenite (As(III)) to arsenate (As(V)) and the sequential removal of arsenate from aqueous solution by liquid‐phase polymer‐based retention (LPR) were investigated. The photocatalytic oxidation of arsenite was performed using TiO2 (P25 Degussa, Germany) under UV‐A light. The optimal photocatalytic conditions to oxidize 10 mg L?1 of arsenite solution were achieved using a 0.5 g L?1 of catalyst at a pH value of 2. The As(III) oxidation reached 100% after 30 min of illumination with UV‐A light. A water‐soluble polymer containing quaternary ammonium groups, poly(3‐acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (P(ClAPTA)), was used as an extracting reagent in the LPR process. To obtain the optimized conditions, the removal experiments were performed at various polymer : As(V) molar ratios using 10 mg L?1 of arsenate solutions. After the oxidation of As(III) to As(V), the removal of arsenate by P(ClAPTA) was obtained in a 99% yield using a 20 : 1 polymer : As(V) molar ratio at a pH value of 9. The results demonstrate that the combination of these methods is highly useful for potential applications related to the treatment of wastewater contaminated with As(III). © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A fluidized bed bioreactor (FBBR) was operated for more than 575 days to remove 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol (TCP) and phenol (Phe) from a synthetic toxic wastewater containing 80 mg L?1 of TCP and 20 mg L?1 of Phe under two regimes: Methanogenic (M) and Partially‐Aerated Methanogenic (PAM). The mesophilic, laboratory‐scale FBBR consisted of a glass column (3 L capacity) loaded with 1 L of 1 mm diameter granular activated carbon colonized by an anaerobic consortium. Sucrose (1 g COD L?1) was used as co‐substrate in the two conditions. The hydraulic residence time was kept constant at 1 day. Both conditions showed similar TCP and Phe removal (99.9 + %); nevertheless, in the Methanogenic regime, the accumulation of 4‐chlorophenol (4CP) up to 16 mg L?1 and phenol up to 4 mg L?1 was observed, whereas in PAM conditions 4CP and other intermediates were not detected. The specific methanogenic activity of biomass decreased from 1.01 ± 0.14 in M conditions to 0.19 ± 0.06 mmolCH4 h?1 gTKN?1 in PAM conditions whereas the specific oxygen uptake rate increased from 0.039 ± 0.008 in M conditions to 0.054 ± 0.012 mmolO2 h?1 gTKN?1, which suggested the co‐existence of both methanogenic archaea and aerobic bacteria in the undefined consortium. The advantage of the PAM condition over the M regime is that it provides for the thorough removal of less‐substituted chlorophenols produced by the reductive dehalogenation of TCP rather than the removal of the parent compound itself.

An external loop airlift bioreactor with a small amount (99% porosity) of stainless steel mesh packing inserted in the riser section was used for bioremediation of a phenol‐polluted air stream. The packing enhanced volatile organic chemical and oxygen mass transfer rates and provided a large surface area for cell immobilization. Using a pure strain of Pseudomonas putida, fed‐batch and continuous runs at three different dilution rates were completed with phenol in the polluted air as the only source of growth substrate. 100% phenol removal was achieved at phenol loading rates up to 33 120 mg h?1 m?3 using only one‐third of the column, superior to any previously reported biodegradation rates of phenol‐polluted air with 100% efficiency. A mathematical model has been developed and is shown to accurately predict the transient and steady‐state data. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The bio‐oxidation of ferrous iron is a potential industrial process in the regeneration of ferric iron and the removal of H2S in combustible gases. Bio‐oxidation of ferrous iron may be an alternative method of producing ferric sulfate, which is a reagent used for removal of H2S from biogas, tail gas and in the pulp and paper industry. For practical use of this process, this study evaluated the optimal pH and initial ferric concentration. pH control looks like a key factor as it acts both on growth rate and on solubility of materials in the system. RESULTS: Process variables such as pH and amount of initial ferrous ions on oxidation by A. ferrooxidans and the effects of process variables dilution rate, initial concentrations of ferrous on oxidation of ferrous sulfate in the packed bed bioreactor were investigated. The optimum range of pH for the maximum growth of cells and effective bio‐oxidation of ferrous sulfate varied from 1.4 to 1.8. The maximum bio‐oxidation rate achieved was 0.3 g L?1 h?1 in a culture initially containing 19.5 g L?1 Fe2+ in the batch system. A maximum Fe2+ oxidation rate of 6.7 g L?1 h?1 was achieved at the dilution rate of 2 h?1, while no obvious precipitate was detected in the bioreactor. All experiments were carried out in shake flasks at 30 °C. CONCLUSION: The monolithic particles investigated in this study were found to be very suitable material for A. ferrooxidans immobilization for ferrous oxidation mainly because of its advantages over other commonly used substrates. In the monolithic bioreactor, the bio‐oxidation rate was 6.7 g L?1 h?1 and 7 g L?1 h?1 for 3.5 g L?1 and 6 g L?1 of initial ferrous concentration, respectively. For higher initial concentrations 16 g L?1 and 21.3 g L?1, bio‐oxidation rate were 0.9 g L?1 h?1 and 0.55 g L?1 h?1, respectively. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The catalytic wet oxidation of phenol has been investigated in a 1 L semi‐batch reactor in the presence of both ferrous and ferric salts. Oxidation reactions follow first‐order kinetics with respect to phenol and half‐order kinetics with respect to dissolved oxygen. The activation energy for the reaction was 44.5 and 48.3 kJ mol?1 for runs employing Fe3+ and Fe2+, respectively. Rate constants and induction periods were also similar for both catalysts. This result could be explained by analysing the evolution of iron during the oxidation process. For pH > 2, Fe2+ was rapidly oxidized under reaction conditions to Fe3+, resulting in a unique catalytic redox system Fe2+/Fe3+. It was also shown that if pH < 2 the dissolved oxygen was unable to oxidize ferrous ion, resulting in a much slower oxidation rate of phenol. The absence of a redox pair resulted in a complete lack of catalytic activity of the dissolved iron salt. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pollution caused by industrial wastewater has become a common problem for many countries. In particular, dye pollutions from industrial effluents disturb human health and ecological equilibrium. The discharge of highly colored synthetic dye effluents is aesthetically displeasing and can damage the receiving water body by impeding penetration of light. Azo dyes can be reduced to more hazardous intermediates on anaerobic conditions. Therefore, an effective and economic treatment of effluents containing a diversity of textile dyes has become a necessity for clean production technology for textile industries. Herein we wish to report the degradation of Acid Red 88 by the combination of Fenton's reagent and ultrasound irradiation. RESULTS: The results show that the combination of ultrasonic irradiation and Fenton's reagent is effective for the degradation of Acid Red 88 aqueous solution. Furthermore, it can achieve better results than either Fenton's reagent or ultrasound alone. The optimum conditions for the degradation of Acid Red 88 aqueous solution were 1.96 mmol L?1 H2O2, 0.108 mmol L?1 Fe2+, pH 3.0, and ultrasonic irradiation frequency of 40 kHz. A degradation efficiency of 98.6% was achieved within 135 min. CONCLUSION: We have provided an efficient and convenient procedure for the degradation of Acid Red 88 aqueous solution. In the present procedure, the azo linkage of Acid Red 88 is broken and some carbonyl compounds are formed, but the complete mineralization of dye cannot be achieved.

Substrate inhibitions that manifest within the cometabolism system of 4‐chlorophenol (4‐cp) and phenol were alleviated through the application of granular activated carbon (GAC) in batch biodegradation. It was found that 4‐cp was preferentially adsorbed over phenol by the GAC and that 50% to 70% of the adsorption was achieved within the first two hours of contact. The kinetics of 4‐cp adsorption was also much faster than that of phenol, even when the co‐existing phenol was of a significantly higher initial concentration. As a result, competitive inhibition between the two compounds was minimized. Adsorption also caused a lowering of the phenol concentration in solution with a concomitant reduction in the substrate inhibition effect on cell growth. The addition of GAC benefited the biotransformation process through shortening the total degradation time for 600 mg L?1 phenol and 100 mg L?1 4‐cp from 42 h to 12 h; and it also made it possible for cells to survive and transform 600 mg L?1 phenol and as high as 400 mg L?1 4‐cp in free suspension cultures. Repeated operations in which GAC was reused showed that GAC could be regenerated by the cells, thus rendering the GAC incorporated process amenable to long term operations. 相似文献

A Fenton‐like process, involving oxidation and coagulation, was evaluated for the removal of odorous compounds and treatment of a pulp and paper wastewater. The main parameters that govern the complex reactive system [pH and Fe(III) and hydrogen peroxide concentrations] were studied. Concentrations of Fe(III) between 100 and 1000 mg L?1 and of H2O2 between 0 and 2000 mg L?1 were chosen. The main mechanism for color removal was coagulation. The maximum COD, color and aromatic compound removals were 75, 98 and 95%, respectively, under optimal operating conditions ([Fe(III)] = 400 mg L?1; [H2O2] = 500–1000 mg L?1; pH = 2.5; followed by coagulation at pH 5.0). The biodegradability of the wastewater treated increased from 0.4 to 0.7 under optimal conditions and no residual hydrogen peroxide was found after treatment. However, partially or non‐oxidized compounds present in the treated wastewater presented higher acute toxicity to Artemia salina than the untreated wastewater. Based on the optimum conditions, pilot‐scale experiments were conducted and revealed a high efficiency in relation to the mineralization of organic compounds. Terpenes [(1S)‐α‐pinene, β‐pinene, (1R)‐α‐pinene and limonene] were identified in the wastewater and were completely eliminated by the Fenton‐like treatment.

BACKGROUND: Because of the lower fluidization energy required and the protection against shock loading and starvation due to their sorption capacity, light adsorbents such as hydrogels could be used as biofilm carrier media in fluidized bed bioreactors for wastewater processing. This work explores the feasibility of a cyclodextrin hydrogel as biomass support to degrade phenol under extremely low‐nitrogen availability and under nitrogen amendments. RESULTS: Phenol removal capacity was low (mean 0.589 kg m?3 day?1) under extreme nitrogen‐limited conditions (mean C:N ratio 3830). A pulsed nitrogen amendment increased the elimination capacity (up to 1.97 kg m?3 day?1) controlling the biofilm thickness. An 8‐h nitrogen pulse had a highly efficient long‐term effect removing 93.5 mg‐C mg?1‐N in 300 h. The continuous nitrogen amendment enhanced the elimination capacity (up to 5.84 kg m?3 day?1) although rapidly increasing the biomass growth. The inhibiting phenol concentration was smaller during the nitrogen‐limited period (below 100 mg L?1) than in the nitrogen‐amendment periods (140 mg L?1). Low liquid velocities were needed to fluidize the bioparticles (less than 3.1 mm s?1) during the entire experimentation. CONCLUSION: This work shows that a fluidized‐bed bioreactor with mixed culture on cyclodextrin‐based particles can be operated for long periods at extreme nitrogen limitation, and that a limited nitrogen supply with periodic pulsed amendments would be adequate for controlling the biofilm thickness.

The effect of ultrasonication on the dehydrogenation of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (PCHD) with benzoquinones was examined with the aim of improving the rate of reaction at moderate temperature. The type of solvent and the ultrasound treatment strongly affected the dehydrogenation of PCHD. The rate of reaction of the dehydrogenation of PCHD with 2,3‐dichloro‐5, 6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DDQ) or 3,4,5,6‐tetrachloro‐1,2‐(o)‐benzoquinone (TOQ) was markedly improved by the use of ultrasound, and poly(para‐phenylene) (PPP) and PPP–TOQ complex, respectively, were successfully obtained. The electron drift mobility for PPP was of the order of 10?4 cm2 V?1 s?1 with a negative slope, while that for PPP–TOQ complex was of the order of 10?3 to 10?4 cm2 V?1 s?1 with a negative slope. The dehydrogenation of PCHD with benzoquinones under ultrasonication is thus an effective method to obtain soluble PPP with a well‐defined polymer chain structure.

Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib), an encapsulated Gram‐negative cocco‐bacillus, is one of the most common agents of meningitis worldwide. The capsular polysaccharide conjugated to a carrier protein is the antigen of the vaccine against Hib. An optimized cultivation process that could lead to an increase in the polysaccharide production would be of great interest for mass vaccination programs. The aim of this work was to evaluate different culture conditions in attempt to improve the capsular polysaccharide yield. Hib was cultivated in a bioreactor with modified soy‐peptone and yeast‐extract (MP) medium and optimal hemin and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) concentration in the culture medium was established at 30 mg L?1 and 15 mg L?1, respectively. The batch experiments were carried out as follows: (a) overlay aeration without pH control; (b) air‐sparged with dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) controlled at 10 and 30% air saturation, with and without pH control. The cultures with air‐sparged aeration, without pH control, showed values for the specific production (SPp/x) of 180–190 mg PRP g?1 dry cell weight (DCW) and overall polysaccharide productivity of 22–29 mg L?1 h?1, accounting for an increase of ca 47% over the polysaccharide production with overlay aeration. Batch cultivations with air sparged aeration led to an improvement in the poly(ribosylribitol phosphate) (PRP) production for both conditions (DOT at 10 and 30% air saturation) investigated upon pH control, achieving up to 980 PRP mg L?1. The SPp/x and overall polysaccharide productivity were 280–300 mg PRP g?1 DCW and 45–41 mg L?1h?1, respectively. The best production of capsular polysaccharide was obtained in the modified MP‐medium, with 30 mg L?1 hemin and 15 mg L?1 NAD, upon sparged aeration and pH control.
