Multilayer calcium alginate beads containing Diatom Biosilica and Bacillus subtilis as microecologics for sewage treatment

Organic matter pollution and heavy metal pollution have become one of the main problems in water recycling, and the strategy to simultaneously remove soluble organic matter and metal ions is crucial for sewage treatment. In this study, multilayer calcium Alginate beads (n-Alg-DBs-Bas) containing Diatom Biosilica (DBs) and Bacillus subtilis (Bas) were designed as microecologics for sewage treatment. The introduction of DBs in beads and the...
