三乙基胺為常用且為環保署公告列管之毒性化學物質,其會導致雞胚胎畸形及死亡,且該物質經微生物分解後可能會產生氨氮。故含有三乙基胺之廢水若未經妥善處理就予以放流,對整個生態環境會造成重大影響。本實驗室擁有之三乙基胺混合菌群及純種菌株於批次實驗下對人工合成廢水中650 mg/L以下的三乙基胺有78.9%以上之去除率,但不知其對實際廢水中三乙基胺之去除情況,因此本研究希望獲悉經馴養之混合菌群與菌株Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TRP1-1於批次實驗下對實際廢水中三乙基胺之去除情況。結果顯示:於批次實驗中,經馴養之混合菌群及菌株Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TRP1-1皆可利用實際廢水中1350 mg/L以下之三乙基胺生長,且對650mg/L以下的三乙基胺有55.7%以上之去除率。
Triethylamine has a bad odor and is considered a possible carcinogen. Thus, the indiscriminate discharge of improperly treated wastewater into a natural water body will cause serious environmental pollution problems. Triethylamine removal efficiency of acclimated mixed strains and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TRP 1-1 reach 75.6% from synthetic wastewater in the batch reactor, when the initial triethylamine concentration was below 650 mg/L. But the triethylamine removal efficiency from industrial wastewater was not known. Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand the performance of accumulated mixed strains and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TRP 1-1 for treating triethylamine from actual industrial wastewater in the batch reactor. The results reveal that the acclimated mixed strains and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TRP 1-1 could grow in actual industrial wastewater containing 1350 mg/L triethylamine in the batch reactor. Besides, the triethylamine removal efficiency could reach 55.7% when the initial triethylamine concentration was below 650 mg/L.
