[PMID: 38520779 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Pre-capturing organics in municipal wastewater for biogas production, combined with Anammox-based nitrogen removal process, improves the sustainability of sewage treatment. Thus, enhancing nitrogen removal via Anammox in mainstream wastewater treatment becomes very crucial. In present study, a three-stage anoxic/oxic (AO) biofilm process with intermittent aeration was designed to strengthen partial nitrification/denitrification coupling Anammox (PNA/PDA) in treatment of low C/N wastewater, which contained chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 79.8 mg/L and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) of 58.9 mg/L. With a hydraulic retention time of 8.0 h, the process successfully reduced TIN to 10.6 mg/L, achieving a nitrogen removal efficiency of 83.3 %. The 1st anoxic zone accounted for 32.0 % TIN removal, with 10.3 % by denitrification and 21.7 % by PDA, meanwhile, the 2nd and 3rd anoxic zones contributed 19.4 % and 4.5 % of TIN removal, primarily achieved through PDA (including endogenous PD coupling Anammox). The 1st and 2nd intermittent zones accounted for 27.2 % and 17.0 % of TIN removal, respectively, with 13.7 %-21.3 % by PNA and 3.2 %-5.3 % by PDA. Although this process did not pursue nitrite accumulation in any zone (< 1.5 mg-N/L), PNA and PDA accounted for 35.1 % and 52.1 % of TIN removal, respectively. Only 0.21 % of removed TIN was released as nitrous oxide. The AnAOB of Candidatus Brocadia was enriched in each zone, with a relative abundance of 0.66 %-2.29 %. In intermittent zones, NOB had been partially suppressed (AOB/NOB = 0.73-0.88), mainly due to intermittent aeration and effective nitrite utilization by AnAOB since its population size was much greater than NOB. Present study indicated that the three-stage AO biofilm process with intermittent aeration could enhance nitrogen removal via PNA and PDA with a low N2O emission factor.

Abstract
This study elucidates the impact of fluctuating influent conditions and in situ ultrasonic wave exposure on the stability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in the treatment of simulated wastewater emanating from rare earth mining operations. During a stable influent period spanning from Day 1 to Day 95, the seed granules underwent an initial disintegration followed by a re-granulation phase. The secondary granulation was achieved on Day 80 and Day 40 for the ultrasonic reactor (R1) and the control reactor (R2), respectively. Notably, granules formed in R1 exhibited a more porous structure compared to those generated in R2. Subsequently, when the ammonia nitrogen in the influent oscillated between 100 and 500 mg/L during Days 96-140, both reactors yielded compact and densely structured granules. Nitrogen removal profiles were comparable between the two reactors: the removal efficiencies for ammonia nitrogen and total inorganic nitrogen escalated from 95% and 80%, respectively, during Days 1-95, to 95% and 90%, respectively, post-Day 140. A suite of performance metrics indicated that steady-state granules from R1 outperformed those from R2 across several parameters. Specifically, the nitrification/denitrification rates, and relative abundance of denitrifying bacteria were all higher in granules from R1. Conversely, the relative abundance of nitrifying bacteria was comparable between granules from both reactors. However, R1 granules demonstrated lower sludge concentration and smaller average particle size than their R2 counterparts. In conclusion, the AGS system demonstrated robust resilience to fluctuating ammonia nitrogen, and the application of ultrasonic waves significantly enhanced granular activity while achieving in situ sludge reduction.

Abstract
Autotrophic nitrifying granular sludge (ANGS) was cultivated for the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen and Tl(I) from inorganic wastewater. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the influent gradually decreased to approximately zero in four parallel sequencing batch reactors (B1: blank controller, B2: 10 mL of added nitrifying bacteria concentrate in each cycle, B3: 1 mg/L Tl(I) added in each cycle and B4: 10 mL of added nitrifying bacteria concentrate and 1 mg/L Tl(I) in each cycle) within 15 days. The main properties, such as the granulation rate and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) of the ANGS in B1, B2, B3 and B4 tended to be stable within 40, 33, 30 and 33 days, the removal efficiencies of Tl(I) were 59.5%-82.9% and 57.1%-88.6% in B3 and B4 after Day 30, the removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen in B1, B2, B3 and B4 were usually above 90% after Day 33, and the total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) in the effluent of B1, B2, B3 and B4 gradually stabilized after Day 36, 32, 32 and 36, indicating that mature ANGS was successfully cultivated in B1, B2, B3 and B4 within 40, 33, 33 and 36 days. The nitrogen degradation kinetic parameters of ANGS indicated that B3 had the strongest ability to remove ammonia and nitrite, suggesting that Tl(I) stress was beneficial to ammonia nitrogen removal and nitrite oxidation. The adsorption of Tl(I) can be described by the Freundlich equation, and the addition of external nitrifying bacteria improved the adsorption ability of ANGS.

Abstract
To solve the deterioration of effluent caused by low temperature in urban sewage treatment plant in cold areas, a new type of reactor was proposed, the biochemical environmental and low-temperature operating characteristics of the reactor were studied. Through analysis of flow simulation and dissolved oxygen (DO) distribution when the aeration rate was 0.6 m3/h, it showed that there were many different DO environments in the reactor at the same time, which provided favourable conditions for various biochemical reactions. The operation test showed that the average effluent removal rate of COD, TN, NH4+-N and TP was 92.53%, 74.57%, 89.61% and 96.04%, respectively. And there were a variety of functional bacteria related to nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the system, most of them with strong adaptability at low temperatures. Among the dominant microorganisms, Flavobacterium and Rhodobacter were related to denitrification, Aeromonas and Thiothrix were related to phosphorous removal. Denitrifying phosphorus removal was the main way of phosphorus removal. Picrust2 results showed that the reactor operated well at low temperature, and the regional difference distribution of nitrification genes further confirmed the existence of functional zones in the reactor. The results showed that the Micro-pressure Double-cycle reactor worked well at low temperature, which provided a new idea and way for the upgrading of urban sewage treatment plants in cold areas.

Abstract
Chlorinated ethenes (CEs) are common and persistent contaminants of soil and groundwater. Their degradation is mostly driven by a process of bacterial reductive dechlorination (also called organohalide respiration) in anaerobic conditions. This study summarizes the outcomes of the long-term in-situ application of glycerol for the enhanced reductive dechlorination of CEs on a highly contaminated site. Glycerol injection resulted in an almost immediate increase in the abundance of fermentative Firmicutes, which produce essential sources of carbon (acetate) and electrons (H2) for organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) and change groundwater conditions to be suitable for OHRB growth. The decreased redox potential of groundwater promoted also the proliferation of sulfate-reducing bacteria, which compete for electron donors with OHRB but at the same time support their growth by producing essential corrinoids and acetate. A considerable increase in the abundance of OHRB Dehalococcoides, concurrently with vinyl chloride (VC) reductase gene levels, was revealed by real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. Consistent with the shifts in bacterial populations, the concentrations of pollutants tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene decreased during the monitoring period, with rising levels of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, VC, and most importantly, the final CE degradation products: ethene and ethane. Our study implies the importance of syntrophic bacterial interactions for successful and complete CE degradation and evaluates glycerol as convenient substrate to enhance reductive dechlorination and as an effective source of electrons for OHRB.

Abstract
This study aimed to propose a novel air-lift multi-stage circulating integrated bioreactor (AMCIB) to treat urban sewage. The AMCIB combined the reaction zone and sedimentation zone, the alternating circulation of activated sludge in separate aerobic and anaerobic environments facilitates the enrichment of HN-AD bacteria. The preliminary study showed that AMCIB had high removal efficiencies for COD, NH4+-N, TN and TP under high dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration conditions, with average removal rates of 93.21 %, 96.04 %, 75.06 % and 94.30 %, respectively. IlluminaMiSeq sequencing results showed that the system successfully cultured heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) functional bacteria (Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Aeromonas) that played a crucial role in sewage treatment, and Tetrasphaera was the central phosphorus removing bacteria in the system. Functional gene predictions showed that the HN-AD played a dominant role in the system.

Abstract
When facing wastewater with high organic and ammonia, e. g. swine wastewater, microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is emerging for energy extraction as hydrogen and methane. However, the effects of highly concentrated ammonia on MEC haven't been fully evaluated. In this study, single-chamber MECs were operated with acetate and sucrose as substrates under various ammonia concentrations. The current generally increased with ammonia loading from 80 to 3000 mg L-1. Yet, the substrate consumption in MECs was inhibited with ammonia concentrations above 1000 mg L-1. As a combined result, the energy recovery efficiency of MECs was stable. The electrochemical activity of anode biofilm reached the peak under 1000 mg L-1 ammonia and was restricted under higher ammonia loadings. Under neutral pH, the NH4+ increases the cell membrane permeability, which benefited the electrochemical activity of exoelectrogens to a proper extent. Nevertheless, the toxic ammonia also accelerated the anode biomass loss and stimulated the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secretion. Due to the current increase, the abundance of exoelectrogens generally raised with ammonia loading from 80 to 3000 mg L-1. However, except for anode biomass loss, the carbon and methane metabolism pathways were inhibited in acetate-fed MEC, while the glycolysis acted as the rate-limiting step for substrate degradation in sucrose-fed conditions. This study systematically examined the influences of high ammonia loading on MEC performances, bio-community and anode electrochemical activities, and evaluated practical feasibility and application inch of MECs for the energy recovery and pollutant removal of high concentration organic and ammonia wastewater.

Abstract
The three-dimensional electrode biological aerated filter (3DE-BAF) has the potential to overcome inherent limitations of conventional electrochemical and biofilm methods. Electrochemical means could enhance the performance and sustainability of biofilm technologies and stimulate the spread of new applications in (waste) water treatment. This paper describes the construction and performance of 3DE-BAF in the treatment of simulated wastewater represented by tetracycline (TC). This is followed by a discussion of electrode performance, the electron transport mechanism and the electrode's effect on the biological community of 3D-EBAF. Given the gap between experimental studies and practical applications, the enlarged anode 3DE-BAF named 3DEAE-BAF reactor was applied with good results to duck farm wastewater. This study could provide guidance as to developing new methods to construct a highly stable 3DE-BAF. The paper concludes that improved 3DE-BAF technology is promising for advanced treatment of livestock wastewater containing antibiotics.

Abstract
Solid-phase denitrification (SPD) is a promising technology for nitrate-rich water purification. This study aimed to examine the variation in denitrification performance and denitrifying community under high-dose acute oxytetracycline (OTC) exposure and various biorecovery strategies. The denitrification performance was impaired significantly after one-day OTC shock at 50 mg L-1 in a continuous-flow SPD system supported by a polycaprolactone (PCL) carrier but could rapidly recover without the addition of OTC. When 50 mg L-1 OTC stress was applied for a longer time in the batch tests, a natural recovery period of more than 20 days was required to reach more than 95% nitrate reduction. Under the same conditions, the addition of both mature biofilm-attached PCL carrier and fresh biofilm-free PCL carrier significantly shortened the recovery time for efficient nitrate reduction, mainly due to the increase in organic availability from the PCL carriers. However, the composition of the microbial community notably changed due to the effects of OTC according to high-throughput sequencing and metagenomic analysis. Genes encoding NAR and NIR were much more sensitive than those encoding NOR and NOS to OTC shock. Tetracycline resistance gene (TRG) enrichment was 15.86% higher in the biofilm that experienced short-term OTC shock than in the control biofilm in the continuous-flow SPD system.

Facilitated bio-mineralization of N,N-dimethylformamide in anoxic denitrification system: Long-term performance and biological mechanism. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 186:116306. [PMID: 32861183 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Due to highly recalcitrant and toxicological nature of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), efficient removal of DMF is challenging for biological wastewater treatment. In this study, an anoxic denitrification system was developed and continuously operated for 220 days in order to verify the enhanced DMF biodegradation mechanism. As high as 41.05 mM DMF could be thoroughly removed in the anoxic denitrification reactor at hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 24 h, while the total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrate removal efficiencies were as high as 95.7 ± 2.5% and 98.4 ± 1.1%, respectively. Microbial community analyses indicated that the species related to DMF hydrolysis (Paracoccus, Brevundimonas and Chryseobacterium) and denitrification (Paracoccus, Arenimonas, Hyphomicrobium, Aquamicrobium and Bosea) were effectively enriched in the anoxic denitrification system. Transcriptional analysis coupled with enzymatic activity assay indicated that both hydrolysis and mineralization of DMF were largely enhanced in the anoxic denitrification system. Moreover, the occurrence of microbial denitrification distinctly facilitated carbon source utilization to produce electron and energy, which was rather beneficial for better reactor performance. This study demonstrated that the anoxic denitrification system would be a potential alternative for efficient treatment of wastewater polluted by recalcitrant pollutants such as DMF.

Abstract
In the present study, an up-flow solid-phase denitrification biofilm reactor (US-DBR) was established for simultaneous nitrate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal from wastewater treatment plant effluent. After 100 days operation, the nitrate and COD removal efficiencies were high of 97% and 80%, respectively. According to EEM-FRI analysis, aromatic and tryptophan protein-like, humic-like and fulvic acid-like substances were identified in DOM. Additionally, protein-like substances in DOM components were much easier transformed as carbon source for denitrification. Moreover, protein secondary structure of DOM changed significantly due to the biodegradation and microorganisms metabolic process. High-throughput sequencing analysis implied that Simplicispira, Diaphorobacter, Hydrogenophaga, Pseudoxanthmonas and Stenotrophomonas were the dominate genera in the whole of US-DBR, that were responsible for the removal of nitrate, organics and degradation of solid carbon source, respectively. This study provided a further biological basis about practical application of solid-phase denitrification for simultaneously remove nitrate and organic matter.

Abstract
The coexistence of nitrate and antibiotics in wastewater is a common problem. The study aimed to explore the response of denitrifying community, denitrification genes and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to oxytetracycline (OTC) stress in polycaprolactone (PCL) supported solid-phase denitrification (SPD) reactors. Complete nitrate reduction (greater than99%) was achieved in SPD system with OTC stress of 0, 0.05, 0.25 and 1 mg L-1 during three-month operation, while it significantly declined by about 5% at a further increased OTC level of 5 mg L-1. The efficient denitrification strongly related with a rich diversity of denitrifiers, while the abundances of which dramatically reduced as the OTC concentration reached ≥0.25 mg L-1, which caused significant decline of denitrification genes, especially for narH, narJ, narI nirD, nosZ, and norB. Tetracycline resistance genes were a major type of promoted ARGs by different OTC stress, mainly related with the increase of tet36, tetG, tetA, tetM and tetC.

Abstract
This study investigated the performance and microbial communities of denitrifying biofilms on polyurethane foam coupled with various solid carbon sources of acid- and alkali-pretreated rice straw and rice husk. Results showed that acid and alkali-pretreated rice straw both had higher TOC release rates (0.041-0.685 mg g-1 day-1) than those of rice husk (0.019-0.160 mg g-1 day-1) over a month, while acid pretreatment of rice husk and rice straw had a much higher organics release rate than that of alkali pretreatment and non-pretreatment, respectively. Acid-pretreated rice straw achieved the most efficient TN removal performance (82.06 ± 3.65%) with the lower occurrences of NH4+-N during denitrification than that of alkali-pretreated rice straw (80.05 ± 4.12%) over more than a month operation. However, alkali pretreatment of rice husk demonstrated much more significantly efficient TN removal efficiency (80.39 ± 2.1%) than did acid pretreatment (69.59 ± 13.43%). MiSeq sequencing analysis showed that the four biofilm samples attached on polyurethane foam with the addition of pretreated rice straw or rice husk had a range of 13-15 differentially abundant phylum and 81-123 differentially abundant genera in comparison with biofilm without extra solid carbon sources, and a higher TN removal efficiency demonstrated more types of differentially abundant genera.

Abstract
The efficiency of a biofilter to simultaneously remove nitric oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) was investigated under thermophilic (48 ± 2 °C) micro-oxygen (3 vol%) conditions. After the start-up stage (Days 0-14), the stable operation period was divided into three stages. SO2 inlet concentration remained 500 mg/m3, NO inlet concentrations were 300 mg/m3 (Days 15-40), 500 mg/m3 (Days 41-70) and 700 mg/m3 (Days 71-100). In each stable stage, the removal efficiency of NO and SO2 exceeded 90%, the maximum removal rates of NO and SO2 were 98.08% and 99.61%, respectively. The final products of SO2 were mostly sulphur. Nitrate-reducing bacteria inhibited sulphate-reducing bacteria. Illumina high-throughput sequencing confirmed that the relative abundance of nitrate-reducing bacteria was positively correlated with NO removal efficiency, the relative abundance of sulphate-reducing bacteria was related to the conversion rate of sulphur.

Abstract
The biofouling characteristics of an MBR (S-MBR) combined with the worm reactor and a conventional MBR (C-MBR) were analyzed, respectively, over the three-stage (fast-slow-fast) process. Whether it was in the C-MBR or the S-MBR, the species of the active sludge (AS) were similar to that of the cake sludge (CS) in stage 1 (before day 1), the bacterial adsorption and the metabolites attachment contributed to this transmembrane pressure (TMP) rise. In the stage 2, the TMP increasing rate of the C-MBR was eight times more than that of the S-MBR. During this period, a characteristic community colonized the AS and CS of the S-MBR with the microbes, ie Flavobacteria, Firmicutes and Chloroflexi which were responsible for the degradation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP). These dominant species caused the slower accumulation of biofouling metabolites in the CS, resulting in the slow rise-related in TMP. Meanwhile, the enrichment of β-proteobacterium and the absence of Mycobacterium and Propionibacterium in AS and CS of the C-MBR were deemed as the main biological factors bringing about the rise-associated in TMP. In the stage 3, the biofilm was matured, and the cake layer was more compacted, which resulted in an abrupt rise in TMP and severe membrane fouling. Additionally, the statistical analysis revealed that a highly correlation between the TMP increasing rate and the content of carbonhydrates in SMP (SMPc). When the SMPc content increased slowly, there was a relatively slow biofouling. But, when the SMPc increasing rate was greater, it led to a more serious membrane fouling with the sudden TMP jump. Additionally, there was also a highly significant correlation coefficient for the TMP rise and the content of carbonhydrates in EPS (EPSc) and the protein in SMP (SMPp), rather than the protein in EPS (EPSp). The cluster analysis showed that the microbes contributing to membrane fouling were more abundant in the C-MBR, while the microbes related to organic compounds degradation were more abundant in the S-MBR. There was significant correlation between the microbes and their metabolites. The SMPc in conjunction with EPSc and SMPp were the main factors accelerating the membrane fouling. It was concluded that a quick rise in SMPc triggered an abrupt increase in TMP, while the EPSc and SMPp caused the sustained increase in TMP.

Abstract
The effect of 10-50 μM uranium (U(VI)) on the bacterial community of anaerobic granular sludge was investigated by 24-h exposure tests, after which the bacterial community was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The specific U(VI) reducing activity of the anaerobic granular sludge ranged between 3.1 to 19.7 μM U(VI) g-1(VSS) h-1, independently of the initial U(VI) concentration. Alpha diversity revealed that microbial richness and diversity was the highest for anaerobic granular sludge upon 10 μM uranium exposure. Compared with the original biomass, the phylum of Euryarchaeota was significantly affected, whereas the Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Synergistetes phyla were only slightly affected. However, the abundance of Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria phyla clearly increased after 24 h uranium exposure. Based on the genus level analysis, significant differences appeared in the bacterial abundance after uranium exposure. The proportions of Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Parabacteroides, Brevundimonas, Sulfurovum, and Trichococcus increased significantly, while the abundance of Paludibacter and Erysipelotrichaceae incertae sedis decreased dramatically. This study shows a dynamic diversification of the bacterial composition as a response to a short time (24 h) U(VI) exposure (10-50 μM).

Abstract
The autotrophic removal of sulphate and nitrate in bioelectrochemical reactors was investigated at different external voltages (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 V) under anaerobic conditions. Sulphate and nitrate removal, nitrite accumulation, reduction trend of nitrate and sulphate and microbial community structure were explored. Results indicate the highest removal efficiencies of nitrate and sulphate at 43.3 ± 2.8 and 7.1 ± 0.2 mg·l-1·d-1 when the voltage is 0.6 V. Moreover, nitrite accumulation decreases with increased voltage from 0.2 V to 1.0 V. Illumina high-throughput sequencing results show similar richness and diversity of bacterial species with increased voltage from 0.2 V to 0.8 V. However, with further increased voltage to 1.0 V, bacterial diversity and richness decrease significantly. Overall, significant differences in community compositions are observed at different voltages.
