Abstract

This work discussed the preparation and characterization of graphene oxide (GO) modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for bacteria immobilization to enhance the biodegrdation efficiency of saline organic wastewater. GO-PVA material has lamellar structure with higher surface area to support bacterial growth and high salinity tolerance. It significantly stimulated the bacterial population by 1.4 times from 2.07×10<sup>3</sup> CFU/mL to 5.04×10<sup>3</sup> CFU/mL, and the microbial structure was also improved for salinity tolerance. Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Thermophilic hydrogen bacilli were enriched inside GO-PVA materials for glucose biodegradation. Compared to the COD<inf>Cr</inf> removal efficiency with only PVA as the carrier (52.8%), GO-PVA material had better degradation performance (62.8%). It is proved as a good candidate for bioaugmentation to improve biodegradation efficiency in hypersaline organic wastewater.
