RESUMO
Plasticizers are low volatility compounds that offer flexibility and processability to resins. The phthalates and adipates, used as plasticizers, have low water solubility e high partition octanol/water(Kow) and accumulate in soil and sediments. This compounds are considered teratogenics, carcinogenics and as endocrine disruptors. This study evaluated the bioremediation of tropical soil contaminated with plasticizers process wastes, in aerobic conditions, with and without introduction of acclimated bacteria. After geological analysis of soil, considering ten differents points on the factory area, it was selected the soil for biodegradation of eight points (100kg/point) representing 17mg total plasticizers/kg soil to 6222mg total plasticizers/kg soil. Mineralogical, physical and chemical analysis were done and the results showed that perhaps the cationic change capacity was due to plasticizers. The plasticizers contents in soil were 85-1688mg/kg and after 120 days of biodegradation in eight aerobic reactors, the removal efficiencies were 75-97%. The fingerprint analysis showed that the final bacteria present in reactors originated from soil and sludge and the CGMS analysis identified the metabolic MEHP, and showed the sub-products and final products of biodegradation.
