| Zusammenfassung: | © 2023 Water Environment Federation. This study investigates the biomineralization of lead ions by Aspergillus niger from aqueous environments, focusing on the dynamic effects of fungal metabolism and biological components. Three biomolecules (glutamate, methionine, and lysine) were used to induce lead oxalate mineralization under lead stress. Comparative experiments were conducted to analyze the growth characteristics and Pb (II) removal ability of A. niger, as well as the morphological and structural properties of the resulting lead oxalate minerals using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques. The findings reveal that A. niger plays a crucial role in controlling the mineralization process of Pb (II), with biomineralization experiments demonstrating the specific morphogenesis of lead oxalate over time. Additionally, the inclusion of the three biomolecules in the system indirectly influenced the rate of Pb (II) removal and mineral morphology. These results contribute to a better understanding of A. niger-mediated biomineralization process of lead oxalate and suggest its potential application in the removal of Pb (II) from aqueous environments, particularly in combination with amino acids for enhanced immobilization and mineral recovery. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Fungal activity and amino acids play a crucial role in shaping lead oxalate crystals during water treatment processes. Specific amino acids can effectively delay lead oxalate recrystallization, enhancing the stability and removal efficiency of the crystals. Biomineralization mediated by fungi offers a promising and eco-friendly approach for lead removal and recovery in wastewater treatment. Exploring the influence of organic additives and fungal metabolism on crystal growth provides valuable insights for developing efficient remediation strategies. Further research on the utilization of fungi and amino acids can help with innovative and sustainable wastewater treatment technologies |
