| Abstract | Industrial wastewater treatment generates sludge with high concentrations of metals and coagulants, which can cause environmental problems. This study developed a sequential sludge washing and metal recovery process for industrial sludge containing > 4500 mg/kg Cu and > 5000 mg/kg Cr. The washing agent was formulated by mixing glycolipid, lipopeptide, and phospholipid biosurfactants from Weissella cibaria PN3 and Brevibacterium casei NK8 with a chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). These biosurfactants contained various functional groups for capturing metals. The optimized formulation by the central composite design had low surface tension and contained relatively small micelles. Comparable Cu and Cr removal efficiencies of 37.8% and 38.4%, respectively, were obtained after washing the sludge by shaking with a sonication process at a 1:4 solid-to-liquid ratio. The zeta potential analysis indicated the bonding of metal ions on the surface of biosurfactant micelles. When 100 g/L iron oxide nanoparticles were applied to the washing agent without pH adjustment, 83% Cu and 100% Cr were recovered. In addition, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy of the nanoparticles showed the oxidation of nanoparticles, the reduction of Cr(V) to the less toxic Cr(III), and the absorption of Cu. The recovered metals could be further recycled, which will be beneficial for the circular economy. |
