As can be seen from the figure, the system can effectively and stably remove Cr6+Meanwhile, the method also has good removal effect on copper and zinc in the wastewater. After 4-period cycle experiment, 97% of Cr can be simultaneously realized6+Removal, 90% copper removal and 88% zinc removal. The result proves that the in-situ utilization of the bacteria-nano FeS heterozygote can be directly applied to the synchronous and efficient removal of various heavy metals in the actual electroplating wastewater, has better stability and sustainability, and provides a good strategy for the treatment of the actual high-concentration heavy metal wastewater.
