Method for Promoting Degradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) by Pseudomonas JD37 With Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron (nZVI) and Use Thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for promoting degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by Pseudomonas JD37 with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and use thereof. The method includes the following steps: adding nZVI and Pseudomonas JD37 in an environment having PCBs, and promoting degradation of the PCBs by the Pseudomonas JD37 with the nZVI. The nZVI increases an active oxygen content produced by extracellular metabolism of the Pseudomonas JD37, thus promoting degradation of the PCBs. Therefore, the method of the present disclosure is suitable for degrading the PCBs in water and soil for environmental restoration.
