The problem of utilization of the compounds present in the effluents of the production of cellulose nitrates (NC) is very important and complicated, and its decision is inextricably related to the environment. The process of heat release in the samples of nitrocellulose subjected to biological processing of different types was studied. Biological processing was conducted by incubation with sulfate-reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio desulfuricans BRMB-1388, microscopic fungi Fusarium solani BKM F-819, and their mixed culture. The studies were carried out on the native NC (13.38% nitrogen) and the NC processed (NC proc ) using ultraviolet radiation and ozone (UV ? ozone). It has been shown that the pretreatment of the NC by UV ? ozone significantly increases the degree of decomposition of the NC during its subsequent biodegradation assisted by symbiotic microorganisms of D. desulfuricans and F. solani. A substantial result was achieved on the fifth day of NC proc incubation, which is promising from the viewpoint of practical applications.
The oxidation of native cellulose nitrate (13.38% N) and cellulose nitrate (CN) treated with UV radiation and ozone (UV+ozone) by a biocenosis of microorganisms of active silt (AS) from sewage disposal plants and by a combination of AS with sulfate-reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio desulfuricans BKM B-1388 and microscopic fungi Fusarium solani BKM F-819 was studied. The use of the preliminary treatment significantly increased the degree of decomposition of CN during its subsequent biodegradation by a symbiosis of AS microorganisms with D. desulfuricans and F. solani. The application of the mutagenic treatment of AS with nitrosomethylurea (NMU) allows the biocenosis of AS microorganisms with CN acting as a pollutant to retain high oxidation ability with good sedimentation properties for 65 days of incubation. The degree of decomposition was 24.36%. Substantial parameters were achieved during the incubation period of treated CN (CNtreat) within the first 5 days, which is promising from the point of view of practical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
