Abstract
With increasing demand for meat and dairy products, the volume of wastewater generated from the livestock industry has become a significant environmental concern. The treatment of livestock wastewater (LWW) is a challenging process that involves removing nutrients, organic matter, pathogens, and other pollutants from livestock manure and urine. In response to this challenge, researchers have developed and investigated different biological, physical, and chemical treatment technologies that perform better upon optimization. Optimization of LWW handling processes can help improve the efficacy and sustainability of treatment systems as well as minimize environmental impacts and associated costs. Response surface methodology (RSM) as an optimization approach can effectively optimize operational parameters that affect process performance. This review article summarizes the main steps of RSM, recent applications of RSM in LWW treatment, highlights the advantages and limitations of this technique, and provides recommendations for future research and practice, including its cost-effectiveness, accuracy, and ability to improve treatment efficiency.

Abstract
Swine wastewater (SW), characterized by highly complex organic and nutrient substances, poses serious impacts on aquatic environment and public health. Furthermore, SW harbors valuable resources that possess substantial economic potential. As such, SW treatment technologies place increased emphasis on resource recycling, while progressively advancing towards energy saving, sustainability, and circular economy principles. This review comprehensively encapsulates the state-of-the-art knowledge for treating SW, including conventional (i.e., constructed wetlands, air stripping and aerobic system) and resource-utilization-based (i.e., anaerobic digestion, membrane separation, anaerobic ammonium oxidation, microbial fuel cells, and microalgal-based system) technologies. Furthermore, this research also elaborates the key factors influencing the SW treatment performance, such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, hydraulic retention time and organic loading rate. The potentials for reutilizing energy, biomass and digestate produced during the SW treatment processes are also summarized. Moreover, the obstacles associated with full-scale implementation, long-term treatment, energy-efficient design, and nutrient recovery of various resource-utilization-based SW treatment technologies are emphasized. In addition, future research prospective, such as prioritization of process optimization, in-depth exploration of microbial mechanisms, enhancement of energy conversion efficiency, and integration of diverse technologies, are highlighted to expand engineering applications and establish a sustainable SW treatment system.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing wastewater and organic wastes are inevitably produced during human activities. To reduce nitrogen pollution, much energy has been used to convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen gas through biological nitrogen removal method. However, it needs to consume high energy again during industrial nitrogen fixation, which give rise to massive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, ammonia recovery from organic wastes has attracted much attention in recent years. In this review, the advantages and disadvantages of ammonia stripping, membrane separation and struvite precipitation are discussed firstly. The ammonia stripping mechanisms, influencing factors, mass transfer process, and the latest innovative ammonia stripping techniques from the anaerobic digestate of organic wastes are critically reviewed. Additionally, a comprehensive economic analysis of different ammonia removal or recovery processes is carried out. The challenges and prospects of ammonia recovery are suggested. Ammonia recovery is of great significance for promoting nitrogen cycle, energy saving and GHG emission reduction.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 203:111807. [PMID: 34400163 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Revised: 07/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhAcs) in water bodies is a major concern due to their persistence, biological activity, and detrimental environmental effects. The present study focuses on the application of pulsed corona plasma technology to degrade such compounds. Three different plasma reactors, namely, sequential flow plasma reactor (SFR), continuous flow top discharge plasma reactor (TDPR) and continuous flow side discharge plasma reactor (SDPR), are designed and fabricated for their performance evaluation with respect to PhAC degradation. In all the reactors, wastewater was discharged as fine droplets for better interaction between the reactive oxidizing species (ROS) generated in the system and the pollutants. Enhanced degradation of the selected pharmaceutical compounds, i.e., diclofenac (DCF) and verapamil hydrochloride (VPL), is achieved with decreased treatment time and lower energy consumption. In SFR reactor water was recycled, whereas in continuous flow reactors hydraulic retention times (HRTs) were varied. The degradation efficiency of DCF (1 mg/L) and VPL (1 mg/L) was 99 % in SDPR, at HRTs of 9 and 12 min, respectively. Deposited energies (SFR- 71 W, TDPR - 92 W, SDPR- 51 W) varied due to the difference in reactor geometries. In the SDPR reactor, 99 % degradation of mixed pollutants with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L was achieved, at a HRT of 21 min. With an input power of 51 W, good energy efficiency (EEO) of 3.8 kWh/m3 and high yield (G) of 256.2 mg/kWh were obtained. . Nitrate formation was reduced by 73.2 % in TDPR and 85.0% in SDPR (32.1-8.6 mg/L) as compared to SFR (32.1 mg/L). The operating cost estimated was 0.71 $/m3, 0.80 $/m3 and 0.67 $/m3 for SFR, TDPR and SDPR, respectively. The results clearly indicate that the continuous flow reactor with side discharge is a viable alternative to traditional plasma reactors.

Abstract
When wastewater containing ammonia is discharged into the receiving environment without any kind of treatment, it causes both environmental problems and negatively affects human health. In this study, the aim was to strip ammonia using air in a continuous flow jet loop reactor (JLR) and investigate the effects of ammonia concentration, hydraulic retention time (HRT), air flow rate, and temperature on ammonia removal within this scope. By changing the ammonia concentration in the influent, no significant change was observed in ammonia removal efficiency. With air flow rate 45 L min-1, temperature 50 °C, pH 11, and HRT 7.5 h, mean 88.1% ammonia removal was achieved. Increasing the HRT, air flow rate, and temperature increased the ammonia removal efficiency. Later the ammonia stripping process in the continuous flow JLR was modeled and the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) for each parameter was calculated from the model equation. While the experimental parameters of air flow rate and temperature had a significant effect on the mass transfer coefficient, influent ammonia concentration and HRT were determined to have no effect.

Abstract
How sediment bacterial community structure and diversity responds to different gradients of nitrogen (N) in swine wastewater is poorly understood. Here, the effects of different total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in swine wastewater on the microbial diversity and community composition in surface flow constructed wetlands (SFCWs) were investigated. The five concentration gradients included 2, 250, 300, 350, and 400 mg L-1. Under high N concentrations (>300 mg L-1), the Ace and Chao1 indexes increased, however, the Shannon index declined with increasing N concentration. The relative abundance of Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria showed an increasing trend. In contrast, under relatively low N concentrations (≤300 mg L-1), Shannon index increased with increasing N concentration. The relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia exhibited an increasing trend with increasing N concentration. TN, NH4+ and NO3- significantly influenced on the microbial community distribution and composition (P < 0.05). These findings provide evidence that N concentration of swine wastewater is powerful predictor of bacterial diversity and community composition in SFCWs.

Abstract
The control of dissolved methane (CH4) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions in anaerobic effluents is essential for minimizing the environmental implications of greenhouse gases, odor, and carbon footprint, as well as for preventing energy loss in the form of unrecovered dissolved methane. This study assessed the feasibility of a vacuum degasifier for the removal of CH4 and H2S from staged anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactor (SAF-MBR) effluent. The optimization results showed that the efficiency of the nozzle fitted degasifiers were superior to the media packed ones. In three-stage vacuum degasifiers at a -0.8 bar vacuum pressure, H2S removal was mostly pH dependent and 88% removal efficiency was achieved with an initial concentration of 13.6 mg/L. Methane removal was dependent primarily on the number of degasifier units, and approximately 94% efficiency was achieved in a three-stage degasifier. Energy balance analysis showed that energy production exceeded the system energy requirements with 0.05-0.07 kWh/m3 of surplus energy. These results provide deep insights into this new technology for simultaneous removal of dissolved CH4 and H2S, which can be referred for potential future applications.

Abstract
The recovery of ammonia-nitrogen during wastewater treatment and water purification is increasingly critical in energy and economic development. The concentration of ammonia-nitrogen in wastewater is different depending on the type of wastewater, making it challenging to select ammonia-nitrogen recovery technology. Meanwhile, the conventional nitrogen removal method wastes ammonia-nitrogen resources. Based on the circular economy, this review comprehensively introduces the characteristics of several main ammonia-nitrogen source wastewater plants and their respective challenges in treatment, including municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, livestock and poultry wastewater and landfill leachate. Furthermore, we introduce the main methods currently adopted in the ammonia-nitrogen removal process of wastewater from physical (air stripping, ion exchange and adsorption, membrane and capacitive deionization), chemical (chlorination, struvite precipitation, electrochemical oxidation and photocatalysis) and biological (classical and typical activated sludge, novel methods based on activated sludge, microalgae and photosynthetic bacteria) classification based on the ammonia recovery concept. We discuss the applicable methods of recovering ammonia nitrogen in several main wastewater plants. Finally, we prospect the research direction of ammonia removal and recovery in wastewater based on sustainable development.

Effects of Ammonia Stripping and Other Physico-Chemical Pretreatments on Anaerobic Digestion of Swine Wastewater. ENERGIES 2020.

Abstract
In order to overcome anaerobic digestion (AD) inhibition due to the large nitrogen content of swine wastewater (SW), air stripping (AS) and other chemical and physical pretreatments were applied on raw SW before AD. The efficiency of these pretreatments on both ammonia removal—recovering ammonia salts to be used as fertilizers in agriculture—and the increase of methane production were assessed in batch tests. Since the pH, temperature, and air flow rate heavily influence AS efficiency and the composition of treated SW, these parameters were set individually or in combination. In more detail, the pH was increased from the natural value of SW to 8 or 10, temperature was increased from the room value to 40 °C, and the air flow rate was increased from zero to 5 Lair LSW−1 min−1. AS was generally more efficient at removing ammonia (up to 97%) from raw (non-treated) SW compared to the other treatments. However, the tested pretreatments were not as efficient as expected in increasing the biogas production, because the methane yields of all pretreated substrates were lower (by about 10–50%) to compared raw SW. The inhibitory effect on AD could have been due to the lack of nutrients and organic matter in the substrate (due to the excessive removal of the pretreatments), the concentration of toxic compounds (such as metal ions or furfural due to water evaporation), and an excess of alkali ions (used to increase the pH in AS). Overall, AS can be considered a sustainable process for the recovery of ammonium sulphate and the removal of other polluting compounds (e.g., organic matter) from SW. Conversely, the use of AS and other chemical and/or thermal processes tested in this study as pretreatments of SW before AD is not advised because these processes appear to reduce methane yields.

Environmental and Economic Sustainability of Swine Wastewater Treatments Using Ammonia Stripping and Anaerobic Digestion: A Short Review. SUSTAINABILITY 2020.

Abstract
One of the most promising systems to treat swine wastewater is air stripping. This system simultaneously recovers nitrogen salts, to be used as fertiliser, and reduces the organic pollutant load in the effluents of swine breeding farms. Several reviews have discussed the air stripping as a treatment for many types of industrial wastewater or nitrogen-rich digestate (the liquid effluent derived from the anaerobic digestion plants) for the stripping/recovery of nutrients. However, reviews about the use of air stripping as treatment for raw or anaerobically digested swine wastewater are not available in literature. To fill this gap, this study: (i) Summarises the experiences of air stripping for recovery of ammonium salts from both raw and digested swine wastewater; and (ii) compares air stripping efficiency under different operational conditions. Moreover, combined systems including air stripping (such as struvite crystallisation, chemical precipitation, microwave radiation) have been compared. These comparisons have shown that air stripping of raw and digested swine wastewater fits well the concept of bio-refinery, because this system allows the sustainable management of the piggery effluent by extracting value-added compounds, by-products, and/or energy from wastewater. On the other hand, air stripping of raw and digested swine wastewater has not been extensively studied and more investigations should be carried out.

Abstract
The preparation of bentonite-zeolite (BZ) adsorbent using bentonite, aluminate, and rice husk was conducted. The adsorption experiment was performed for the removal of Cu2+ and Zn2+ from aqueous solution in single and binary systems. Results showed that gasification of rice husk could effectively improve the specific surface area and pore volume. The optimum pH for Cu2+ and Zn2+ adsorption on BZ was pH 5.0. The pseudo-first order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model of BZ were the optimal model for Cu2+ and Zn2+. According to Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacity value (qm) was 16.39 and 12.72 mg·g-1 for Cu2+ and Zn2+, respectively. The adsorption affinity order of BZ in the binary solution was Cu2+ > Zn2+. NH4+-N concentration over 500 mg·L-1 significantly affected the adsorption capacity of BZ (P < 0.05). The adsorption capacity of BZ for Cu2+ and Zn2+ was higher than that artificial zeolite (AZ) and bentonite in SW.

Abstract
Manure is a substantial source of ammonia volatilization into the atmosphere before and after soil application. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of temperature and alkalization treatments on the release of ammonia and ammonia recovery (AR) from cow manure and to characterize the chemical properties of the resultant effluents. In a closed glass reactor, 100 g of fresh cow manure was mixed with 100 mL of deionized water and the mixture was treated with various volume of KOH to increase the manure pH to 7, 9, and 12. Ammonia was distilled from the mixture at temperatures of 75, 85, 95, and 100 °C for a maximum of 5 h. Ammonia was received as diluted boric and sulfuric acids. Results indicated that the highest ammonia recovery was 86.3% and 90.2%, which were achieved at a pH of 12 and temperatures of 100 and 95 °C, respectively. The recovered ammonia in boric acid was higher than in sulfuric acid, except at a pH of 12 and temperatures of 95 and 100 °C. The effluents, after ammonia was removed, showed that the variation in pH ranged between 6.30 and 9.38. The electrical conductivity ranged between 4.5 and 9. (dS m−1) and total potassium ranged between 9.4 and 57.2 mg kg−1.

Abstract
Typical biological processing is often challenging for removing ammonia nitrogen and phosphate from swine wastewater due to inhibition of high ammonia on activity of microorganisms, exhaustion of time, and low efficiency. In this study, a physicochemical process by combining ammonia stripping with struvite precipitation has been tested to simultaneously remove ammonia nitrogen, phosphate, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from digested swine wastewater (DSW) with high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. The pH, temperature, and magnesium content of DSW are the key factors for ammonia removal and phosphate recovery through combining stripping with struvite precipitation. MgO was used as the struvite precipitant for NH4+ and PO43- and as the pH adjusted for air stripping of residual ammonia under the condition of 40 °C and 0.48 m3 h-1 L-1 aeration rate for 3 h. The results showed that the removal efficiency of ammonia, total phosphate, and COD from DSW significantly increased with increase of MgO dosage due to synergistic action of ammonia stripping and struvite precipitation. Considering the processing cost and national discharge standard for DSW, 0.75 g L-1 MgO dosage was recommended using the combining technology for nutrient removal from DSW. In addition, 88.03% NH4+-N and 96.07% TP could be recovered from DSW by adsorption of phosphoric acid and precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP). The combined technology could effectively remove and recover the nutrients from DSW to achieve environmental protection and sustainable and renewable resource of DSW. An economic analysis showed that the combining technology for nutrient removal from DSW was feasible.
