| Abstract | Vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2.8H2O), a sink for phosphorus, is a key mineralization product formed during the microbial reduction of phosphate-containing Fe(III) minerals in natural systems, and also in wastewater treatment where Fe(III)-minerals are used to remove phosphate. As biovivianite is a potentially useful Fe and P fertiliser, there is much interest in harnessing microbial biovivianite synthesis for circular economy applications. In this study, we investigated the factors that influence the formation of microbially-synthesized vivianite (biovivianite) under laboratory batch systems including the presence and absence of phosphate and electron shuttle, the buffer system, pH, and the type of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria (comparing Geobacter sulfurreducens and Shewanella putrefaciens). The rate of Fe(II) production, and its interactions with the residual Fe(III) and other oxyanions (e.g., phosphate and carbonate) were the main factors that controlled the rate and extent of biovivianite formation. Higher concentrations of phosphate (e.g., P/Fe = 1) in the presence of an electron shuttle, at an initial pH between 6 and 7, were needed for optimal biovivianite formation. Green rust, a key intermediate in biovivianite production, could be detected as an endpoint alongside vivianite and metavivianite (Fe2+Fe3+ 2 (PO4)2. (OH)2.6H2O), in treatments with G. sulfurreducens and S. putrefaciens. However, XRD indicated that vivianite abundance was higher in experiments containing G. sulfurreducens, where it dominated. This study, therefore, shows that vivianite formation can be controlled to optimize yield during microbial processing of phosphate loaded Fe(III) materials generated from water treatment processes. |
