墨西哥科学家近日宣布,他们成功地利用萝卜酶处理工业废水,有效地保护了生态环境。这项科研项目的负责人布兰卡·埃斯特拉表示,化工、纺织和啤酒等工业每天排放大量含有酚混合物的污水,这种废水对周围的土壤、水源和耕地都造成十分严重的污染,目前只能通过成本很高的化学方法处理这些工业废水。这位曾在去年年底荣获墨西哥“全国食品科技奖”的学者回顾说,她和同事们经过4年的潜心研究,终于从萝卜中提炼出这种能清除工业废水中酚混合物的酶。经过这种萝卜酶处理的工业废水可以循环再利用,既降低了生产成本又达到了保护环境的目的。这一科研成果不久将在墨全国推广应用。 Mexican scientists recently announced that they have successfully used radish enzyme treatment of industrial wastewater, effectively protecting the ecological environment. Blanca Estella, head of the research project, said that chemicals such as textiles, beer and beer emit large amounts of wastewater containing phenol mixtures daily that cause very serious pollution to the surrounding soil, water sources and farmland At present, these industrial wastes can only be disposed of by expensive chemical methods. The scholar, who won the “National Food Science and Technology Award” in Mexico at the end of last year, recalled that after four years of painstaking research, she and her colleagues finally extracted this enzyme from radishes to remove phenol mixtures from industrial wastewater. After this radish enzyme treatment of industrial wastewater can be recycled, which not only reduces production costs and achieve the purpose of environmental protection. This research achievement will soon be popularized and applied in Mexico.
