摘要

Ammonia gas has emerged as a major concern for many industrial facilities. With the same degree of hazard, plastic waste after mechanical processing is becoming a crucial challenge for many mechanical plastics recycling plants. In this respect, the present study explored the use of plastic waste obtained from mechanical recycling plants as an adsorbent to treat ammonia gas using a biofiltration device. The physical-chemical parameters of the adsorbent used, notably moisture, ash, organic matter, pH and elemental analysis were determined. Next-generation sequencing and scanning electron microscopy analyses were carried out to detect and identify the nature of bacterial communities in the biofilters used. The results of the chemical analysis showed that the adsorbent used is appropriate for the development of the microorganisms. X-ray fluorescence analysis showed that the adsorbent belongs to the silico-aluminous materials, proving its effectiveness as an adsorbent. The efficiency of ammonia removal was over 93% using the biofilter. Next-generation sequencing revealed that bacteria belonging to ammonia oxidizers such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira are among the most abundant bacteria after the biofiltration process, which explains the efficiency of ammonia removal. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the development of a biofilm on the surface of the biofilter after filtration. Ultimately, these results offer a promising novel approach for valorisation of the plastic waste.
