Microbial flocculant (MBF) has good application prospects in the field of water treatment. my country’s R&D enthusiasm is high

Microbial flocculant (MBF) is a type of metabolite produced by microorganisms or their secretions, which is produced using microbial technology. Compared with traditional inorganic flocculants and organic flocculants, microbial flocculants have the advantages of good biodegradability, green environmental protection, non-toxic and harmless, safe and efficient, and have broad application prospects in the field of water treatment. According to the different sources of active ingredients, microbial flocculants can be divided into three types: microbial cell metabolite flocculants, microbial cell flocculants and microbial cell wall extract flocculants.

The main raw material of microbial flocculant is microorganisms, which can be extracted from sewage, soil, and activated sludge. Its main active ingredients include proteins, glycoproteins, nucleic acids, glycosaminoglycans and other high molecular compounds. Microbial technology is the core technology of microbial flocculants and plays a decisive role in its performance and quality. In recent years, benefiting from national policy support, my country’s microbial technology has continued to make innovative breakthroughs, which has laid favorable conditions for the development of the microbial flocculant industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Microbial Flocculant (MBF) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center ” shows that the water treatment field is the main demand side for microbial flocculants, including industrial wastewater treatment, municipal sewage treatment, livestock wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, printing and dyeing wastewater decolorization, etc. Traditional flocculants have shortcomings such as slow aggregation speed, large dosage, and easy to cause secondary pollution. As an environmentally friendly flocculant, microbial flocculants are expected to become the mainstream of the market in the future.

my country’s microbial flocculant industry started late. Currently, it is mainly based on laboratory research and development, with a small number of production companies. Chimelong Technology, Yaodong Biotechnology, Krebs Environmental Protection, Kesheng Environmental Protection, etc. are the main manufacturers of microbial flocculants in my country. Yaodong Biotech focuses on the R&D, production and sales of biological cleaning agents, microbial sulfide oxidase preparations and biological flocculants. Its independently developed microbial flocculants have been widely used in municipal sewage treatment, drinking water treatment and other fields.

Benefiting from the support of national environmental protection policies, my country’s enthusiasm for the research and development of microbial flocculants continues to rise, and the number of related patent applications continues to grow, including “A preparation method, device and application of an environmentally friendly microbial flocculant”, “A low-temperature resistant polysaccharide microbial flocculation Preparation method of agent and its application” etc. In the future, with in-depth research, the types of microbial flocculants in my country will become increasingly abundant.

Industry analysts said that as an environmentally friendly flocculant, microbial flocculants have excellent performance and have broad application prospects in the field of water treatment. . At present, my country’s microbial flocculant industry is still in its infancy, and there are only a small number of companies with large-scale production capabilities. In the future, as local companies and scientific research institutions continue to increase investment in research and development, the development speed of my country’s microbial flocculant industry will accelerate.
