Selenium-oxyanion-containing wastewater, with levels of selenite as high as 3690 μg Se/l and very low levels of selenate, was treated in a laboratory-scale biological reactor system inoculated with the selenate-respiring bacterium Thauera selenatis. The wastewater contained selenite that had been removed from refinery effluent wastewater using iron-coprecipitation followed by selenite release to yield a more concentrated selenium-containing wastewater. The reactor system consisted of recycling sludge-blanket (500 ml; 200 g sand) and fluidized-bed reactors (500 ml; 150 g sand). The flow rate through the reactor system was 3.5 ml/min. The carbon source fed into the reactor was acetate (3 mM); nitrate was also present (3 mM). The selenium oxyanion levels in the wastewater were reduced by 95%. T. selenatis was the only selenate-reducing bacterium detected in the reactor system and it presumably reduced a portion of the selenate present in the water to selenite. The selenite present in the water, and that formed by selenate reduction, was reduced both by the Thauera and by a population of denitrifying bacteria also present in high numbers in the reactor system.
