Electrical stress and acid orange 7 synergistically clear the blockage of electron flow in the methanogenesis of low-strength wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ECOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 20:100410. [PMID: 38572083 PMCID: PMC10987894 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2024.100410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Energy recovery from low-strength wastewater through anaerobic methanogenesis is constrained by limited substrate availability. The development of efficient methanogenic communities is critical but challenging. Here we develop a strategy to acclimate methanogenic communities using conductive carrier (CC), electrical stress (ES), and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) in a modified biofilter. The synergistic integration of CC, ES, and AO7 precipitated a remarkable 72-fold surge in methane production rate compared to the baseline. This increase was attributed to an altered methanogenic community function, independent of the continuous presence of AO7 and ES. AO7 acted as an external electron acceptor, accelerating acetogenesis from fermentation intermediates, restructuring the bacterial community, and enriching electroactive bacteria (EAB). Meanwhile, CC and ES orchestrated the assembly of the archaeal community and promoted electrotrophic methanogens, enhancing acetotrophic methanogenesis electron flow via a mechanism distinct from direct electrochemical interactions. The collective application of CC, ES, and AO7 effectively mitigated electron flow impediments in low-strength wastewater methanogenesis, achieving an additional 34% electron recovery from the substrate. This study proposes a new method of amending anaerobic digestion systems with conductive materials to advance wastewater treatment, sustainability, and energy self-sufficiency.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective and applicable technology for treating organic wastes to recover bioenergy, but it is limited by various drawbacks, such as long start-up time for establishing a stable process, the toxicity of accumulated volatile fatty acids and ammonia nitrogen to methanogens resulting in extremely low biogas productivities, and a large amount of impurities in biogas for upgrading thereafter with high cost. Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a device developed for electrosynthesis from organic wastes by electroactive microorganisms, but MEC alone is not practical for production at large scales. When AD is integrated with MEC, not only can biogas production be enhanced substantially, but also upgrading of the biogas product performed in situ. In this critical review, the state-of-the-art progress in developing AD-MEC systems is commented, and fundamentals underlying methanogenesis and bioelectrochemical reactions, technological innovations with electrode materials and configurations, designs and applications of AD-MEC systems, and strategies for their enhancement, such as driving the MEC device by electricity that is generated by burning the biogas to improve their energy efficiencies, are specifically addressed. Moreover, perspectives and challenges for the scale up of AD-MEC systems are highlighted for in-depth studies in the future to further improve their performance.

Abstract
Geopolymers show great potential in complex wastewater treatment to improve water quality. In this work, general geopolymers, porous geopolymers and geopolymer microspheres were prepared by the suspension curing method using three solid waste products, coal gangue, fly ash and blast furnace slag. The microstructure, morphology and surface functional groups of the geopolymers were studied by SEM, XRD, XRF, MIP, FTIR and XPS. It was found that the geopolymers possess good adsorption capacities for both organic and inorganic pollutants. With methylene blue and potassium dichromate as the representative pollutants, in order to obtain the best removal rate, the effects of the adsorbent type, dosage of adsorbent, concentration of methylene blue and potassium dichromate and pH on the adsorption process were studied in detail. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency of the geopolymers for methylene blue and potassium dichromate was in the order of general geopolymers < porous geopolymers < geopolymer microspheres, and the removal rates were up to 94.56% and 79.46%, respectively. Additionally, the competitive adsorption of methylene blue and potassium dichromate in a binary system was also studied. The mechanism study showed that the adsorption of methylene blue was mainly through pore diffusion, hydrogen bond formation and electrostatic adsorption, and the adsorption of potassium dichromate was mainly through pore diffusion and redox reaction. These findings demonstrate the potential of geopolymer microspheres in adsorbing organic and inorganic pollutants, and, through five cycles of experiments, it is demonstrated that MGP exhibits excellent recyclability.

Abstract
In this work, the bioelectrochemical system (BES) is a feasible alternative for successfully degrading typical refractory emerging contaminant triclosan (TCS). A single-chamber BES reactor with an initial TCS concentration of 1 mg/L, an applied voltage of 0.8 V, and a solution buffered with 50 mM PBS degraded 81.4±0.2% of TCS, exhibiting TCS degradation efficiency improvement to 90.6±0.2% with a biocathode formed from a reversed bioanode. Both bioanode and biocathode were able to degrade TCS with comparable efficiencies of 80.8±4.9% and 87.3±0.4%, respectively. Dechlorination and hydrolysis were proposed as the TCS degradation pathway in the cathode chamber, and another hydroxylation pathway was exclusive in the anode chamber. Microbial community structure analysis indicated Propionibacteriaceae was the predominant member in all electrode biofilms, and the exoelectrogen Geobacter was enriched in anode biofilms. This study comprehensively revealed the feasibility of operating BES technology for TCS degradation.

Abstract
Nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) has been widely used to improve refractory wastewater treatment. However, the rapid dissolution of NZVI causes a waste of resources and an unstable bioaugmentation. Herein, to verify the essential role of slow release of NZVI on biological systems, a core-shell structured Fe@C composite was developed to demonstrate the long-term feasibility of Fe@C for enhancing azo dye biodegradation in comparison to a mixture of NZVI and carbon powder (Fe+C). The 150 days of long-term reactor operation showed that, although both Fe@C and Fe+C enhanced azo dye degradation, the former achieved a better performance than the latter. The strengthening effect of Fe@C was also more durable and stable than Fe+C. It may be due to the fact that the carbon layer of Fe@C could interact with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) through physical adsorption and chemical bonding to form a stable buffer to regulate NZVI dissolution. The buffer layer could not only regulate the attack of H+ on NZVI to reduce its dissolution rate but also complex released Fe2+ and neutralize OH- to alleviate the passivation layer formed on the NZVI surface. Moreover, microbial community analysis indicated that both Fe@C and Fe+C increased the abundance of fermentative bacteria (e.g., Bacteroidetes_vadinHA17, Propionicicella) and methanogens (e.g., Methanobacterium), but only Fe@C promoted the growth of azo dye degraders (e.g., Clostridium, Geobacter). Metatranscriptomic analysis further revealed that only Fe@C could substantially stimulate the expression of azoreductase and redox mediator (e.g., riboflavin, ubiquinone) biosynthesis involved in the extracellular degradation of azo dye. This work provides novel insights into the bioaugmentation of Fe@C for refractory wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW) has characteristics of large amount of water, elevated content of residual dyes, poor biodegradability, high alkalinity and large change of water quality, making its treatment difficult. Development of efficient and economic PDW treatment technology has gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Use of plant biomass carbon (PBC) for the adsorption of dyes is a feasible and economical technology. This review summarizes current literature discussing the preparation method and physicochemical characteristics of PBC prepared from different plant species, the effect of PBC on the removal of dyes, influencing factors affecting the removal, and relevant adsorption models. The shortcomings of current research and the direction of future research are also pointed out in the review.

Abstract
Azo dyes are typical toxic and refractory organic pollutants widely used in the textile industry. Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) have great potential for the treatment of azo dyes with the help of microorganisms as biocatalysts and have advanced significantly in recent years. However, the latest and significant advancement and achievements of BESs treating azo dyes have not been reviewed since 8 years ago. This review thus focuses on the recent investigations of BESs treating azo dyes from the year of 2013-2020 in order to broaden the knowledge and deepen the understanding in this field. In this review, azo dyes degradation mechanisms of BESs are first elaborated, followed by the introduction of BES configurations with the emphasis on the novelties. The azo dye degradation performance of BESs is then presented to demonstrate their effectiveness in azo dye removal. Effects of various operating parameters on the overall performance of BESs are comprehensively elucidated, including electrode materials, external resistances and applied potentials, initial concentrations of azo dyes, and co-substrates. Predominant microorganisms responsible for degradation of azo dyes in BESs are highlighted in details. Furthermore, the combination of BESs with other processes to further improve the azo dye removal are discussed. Finally, an outlook on the future research directions and challenges is provided from the viewpoint of realistic applications of the technology.

Abstract
Metal-phenol coordination is a widely used method to prepare nanofiltration membrane. However, the facile, controllable and scaled fabrication remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel strategy was developed to fabricate a loose nanofiltration membrane via integrating blending and interfacial coordination strategy. Specifically, iron acetylacetonate was firstly blended in Polyether sulfone (PES) substrate via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), and then the loose selective layer was formed on the membrane surface with tannic acid (TA) crosslinking reaction with Fe3+. The surface properties, morphologies, permeability and selectivity of the membranes were carefully investigated. The introduction of TA improved the surface hydrophilicity and negative charge. Moreover, the thickness of top layer increased about from ~30 nm to 119 nm with the increase of TA assembly time. Under the optimum preparation condition, the membrane with assembly 3 h (PES/Fe-TA3h) showed pure water flux of 175.8 L·m−2·h−1, dye rejections of 97.7%, 97.1% and 95.0% for Congo red (CR), Methyl blue (MB) and Eriochrome Black T (EBT), along with a salt penetration rate of 93.8%, 95.1%, 97.4% and 98.1% for Na2SO4, MgSO4, NaCl and MgCl2 at 0.2 MPa, respectively. Both static adhesion tests and dynamic fouling experiments implied that the TA modified membranes showed significantly reduced adsorption and high FRR for the dye solutions separation. The PES/Fe-TA3h membrane exhibited high FRR of 90.3%, 87.5% and 81.6% for CR, EBT and MB in the fouling test, stable CR rejection (>97.2%) and NaCl permeation (>94.6%) in 24 h continuous filtration test. The combination of blending and interfacial coordination assembly method could be expected to be a universal way to fabricate the loose nanofiltration membrane for effective fractionation of dyes and salts in the saline textile wastewater.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising technologies, aiming at treating different types of industrial and domestic wastewater. In recent years, more and more publications focusing on wastewater treatment have been published. Based on the retrieval of publications from Web of Science Core Collection database, the new emerging trends of microbial fuel cells in wastewater treatment was evaluated with a scientometric analysis method from 1995 to 2020. All publications downloaded from (WOS) were screened by inclusion criteria, and 2233 publications were obtained for further analysis. Document co-citation and burst detection of MFCs in wastewater treatment were analyzed and visualized by software of CiteSpace. Our study indicated that “Environmental Science” is the most popular discipline, while the journal of Bioresource Technology published the greatest quantity of articles in the field of MFCs applied wastewater treatment. China and the Chinese Academy of Science are the most productive country and institution, respectively. “Azo dye” has become the new research topic, which indicates the application area and the development of MFCs. The performance of MFCs for wastewater treatment has been widely discussed. The findings of this study may ameliorate the researcher in seizing the frontier of MFCs in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Metal-complexed dyes are harmful to the environment and human health because they contain heavy metals and complex organic ligands. It is difficult to separate and recover these dyes from wastewater owing to their complex components and poor selectivity of common adsorbents. In this study, a novel surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) was prepared using 4-vinyl pyridine as the functional monomer and polystyrene resin as the carrier. SMIP showed better adsorption performance than non-imprinted polymer (SNIP) in the whole pH range with the best adsorption capacity at pH 1.5. The correlation coefficients (R2) fitted by Langmuir and Temkin models were greater than 0.97, and the adsorption was a spontaneous exothermic process. The pseudo-second-order and Elovich models fitted the adsorption kinetic curves well. The adsorption capacity of SMIP was approximately 20% higher than that of SNIP in the salt concentration ranging from 2 to 80 mg/L. In selective adsorption experiments, the relative selectivity coefficients (I) of SMIP for competitors were all greater than 2.41, and the Cr (Ⅲ) components of ACB GGN played a more important role in the recognition performance of SMIP than the sulfonic groups. Adsorption mechanism tests revealed that although the adsorption of ACB GGN by SMIP mainly relied on electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interactions, π-π conjugation, and Cr (Ⅲ) coordination were also involved. These results show that SMIP has excellent selective adsorption properties for ACB GGN and a promising application potential in the treatment of metal-complexed dye wastewater.

[PMID: 34549148 PMCID: PMC8444317 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c03560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the antitoxicity performance of the traditional anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and the newly constructed membraneless anaerobic baffled reactor coupled with microbial fuel cell (ABR-MFC) was compared for the treatment of simulated printing and dyeing wastewater under the same hydraulic residence time. The sludge performances of ABR-MFC and ABR were evaluated on the dye removal rate, extracellular polymer (EPS) content, sludge particle size, methane yield, and the surface morphology of granular sludge. It was found that the maximum power density of the ABR-MFC reactor reached 1226.43 mW/m3, indicating that the coupled system has a good power generation capacity. The concentration of the EPS in the ABR-MFC reactor was about 3 times that in the ABR, which could be the result of the larger average particle size of sludge in the ABR-MFC reactor than in the ABR. The dye removal rate of the ABR-MFC reactor (91.71%) was higher than that of the ABR (1.49%). The methane production and microbial species in the ABR-MFC system were higher than those in the ABR. Overall, the MFC embedded in the ABR can effectively increase the resistance of the reactor, promote the formation of granular sludge, and improve the performance of the reactor for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This study analyzed bacterial community structure for large-scale brewery wastewater treatment at different heights in internal circulation (IC) reactor. Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Chloroflexi were dominant bacteria, which accounted for 64.17%, 64.04%, 59.87% and 55.79% in phylum level, respectively. The unidentified bacteria were accounted for a large proportion in genus level, available data showed that Longilinea, Desulfomicrobium, Caldithrix, Geobacter and Syntrophorhabdus were relatively abundant. Organic fermentation, hydrolysis, and acidification were mainly completed at the bottom, and production of hydrogen and methane were completed in the upper and middle part of reactor. Alpha diversity and cluster distance analysis showed the bacterial community could be divided into bottom, middle and upper part of IC reactor. The IC reactor possessed the CODCr removal efficiency of 80% - 84.09%, and BOD5 of 77.50% - 86% for brewery wastewater. This study would provide bacterial analysis references of IC reactor for industrial wastewater treatment in future.

Cost-effective resource utilization for waste biomass: A simple preparation method of photo-thermal biochar cakes (BCs) toward dye wastewater treatment with solar energy. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 194:110720.

Abstract
Waste biomass and dye wastewater pollution have been the serious environmental problems. The interfacial solar-steam generation technology is an effective and sustainable method for the water purification. However, the complex preparation process, high economic cost and probably secondary environmental pollution of traditional photo-thermal materials restricted their practical large-scale application. Herein, the biochar cakes (BCs) deriving from waste biomass were prepared, and the granular and schistose MgO coatings were dressed on the surface of carbonized fiber to improve their hydrophilicity. The BCs with high solar absorbance and super-hydrophilicity were applied in the photo-thermal purification of dye wastewater with solar energy. The highest evaporation rate of dye wastewater with BCs reached 2.27 kg m-2 h-1, and the corresponding conversion efficiency of solar to steam generation was 78.98% under the simulated solar irradiation (1846.0 w/m2). The collected clean water from the solar-steam evaporators reached the emission standards of EU Water Framework Directive (91/271/EEC). Considering the simple and economical preparation method, this process made the practical large-scale application of photo-thermal BCs on dye wastewater treatment a reality, and also provided a cost-effective management strategy for the waste biomass.

Abstract
In the last 3 years alone, over 10,000 publications have appeared on the topic of dye removal, including over 300 reviews. Thus, the topic is very relevant, although there are few articles on the practical applications on an industrial scale of the results obtained in research laboratories. Therefore, in this review, we focus on advanced oxidation methods integrated with biological methods, widely recognized as highly efficient treatments for recalcitrant wastewater, that have the best chance of industrial application. It is extremely important to know all the phenomena and mechanisms that occur during the process of removing dyestuffs and the products of their degradation from wastewater to prevent their penetration into drinking water sources. Therefore, particular attention is paid to understanding the mechanisms of both chemical and biological degradation of dyes, and the kinetics of these processes, which are important from a design point of view, as well as the performance and implementation of these operations on a larger scale.

Influence of co-existing cations and anions on removal of direct red 89 dye from synthetic wastewater by hydrodynamic cavitation process: An empirical modeling.

Abstract
In the present study the evaluation of Direct Red 89 (DR89) dye removal from synthetic wastewater by a lab-scale hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) process has been investigated under different operational conditions; the influence of co-existing cations and anions was applied using synthetic wastewater to assess whether the DR89 removal was enhanced. To study the effect of operational parameters, an empirical approach was adopted for the modeling of the HC process. The results showed that the DR89 degradation rate was strongly influenced by solution pH, reaction time and initial DR89 concentration. The removal efficiencies of DR89 were enhanced remarkably with the reaction time increment. When the initial concentration of DR89 increased from 30 to 90 mg/L, the DR89 removal efficiency decreased from 36.3 ± 3.8% to 17.5 ± 2.5%. In addition, the highest DR89 removal efficiency (75.4 ± 3.4%) was observed at a solution pH of 3. At a solution pH of 8, the DR89 removal efficiency was 18.4 ± 1.1%. An initial DR89 concentration of 80 mg/L was 75.4 ± 5.1% degraded after 130 min at a solution pH of 3. The results indicated that a synergistic effect occurred due to the added ions except for HCO3-. The removal of DR89 by the HC process was extremely enhanced with NO3‾ ions with synergetic index higher than 2.5. Kinetic studies revealed that the decolorization of DR89 by HC followed a first order kinetic mechanism. The comparison between the predicted results of the empirical model and experimental data was also conducted. The empirical model described the DR89 removal efficiency under different conditions (R2: 0.93) and the results showed the HC reaction to be a useful technology for the treatment of dye in the textile wastewater.

Abstract
The textile industry provides for the needs of people especially in apparel and household items. The industry also discharges dye-containing wastewater that is typically challenging to treat. Despite the application of the biological and chemical treatments for the treatment of textile wastewater, these methods have their own drawbacks such as non-environment friendly, high cost and energy intensive. This research investigates the efficiency of the celestine blue dye removal from simulated textile wastewater by electrocoagulation (EC) method using iron (Fe) electrodes through an electrolytic cell, integrated with nylon 6,6 nanofiber (NF) membrane filtration for the separation of the flocculants from aqueous water. Based on the results, the integrated system achieves a high dye removal efficiency of 79.4%, by using 1000 ppm of sodium chloride as the electrolyte and 2 V of voltage at a constant pH of 7 and 10 ppm celestine blue dye solution, compared to the standalone EC method in which only 43.2% removal was achieved. Atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis was used to identify the traces of iron in the residual EC solution confirming the absence of iron. The EC-integrated membrane system thus shows superior performance compared to the conventional method whereby an additional 10–30% of dye was removed at 1 V and 2 V using similar energy consumptions.

Abstract
On account of the recalcitrant and highly toxicity of organonitrile substrates, traditional processes are limited by HCN poisoning thus inefficient. This article proposed a novel anaerobic fluidized bed reactor with electric field activation (AFBR-EFA) which had a 260-day continuous operation. The operation aims to explore the practicability of the enhanced reduction of isophthalonitrile (IPN), with emphasis on the optimum operation parameters and synergistic effect between electric field and anaerobic processes. The results showed that relatively higher voltage (1.0 V < V < 1.6 V) had a positive impact on reduction enhancement. High removal could be obtained at high initial concentration, low methanol dosage and short HRT which indicated that tolerance to shock loading was significantly enhanced in AFBR-EFA. Furthermore, EFA visibly motivated the enrichment of electrochemically active bacteria and various autotrophic IPN degradation-related species. The significantly efficient performance makes the potential for full-scale application of the AFBR-EFA markedly improved, particularly for treating hard-biodegraded contaminants.

Abstract
An electrostimulated anaerobic-oxic integrated system was constructed for treating alizarin yellow R (AYR) containing wastewater. In electro-stimulated anaerobic unit, AYR decolorization efficiency improved from 51.2% to 96.6%. Two amination metabolites, p-phenylenediamine and 5-aminosalicylic acid, went through oxidation, ammonification and mineralization in oxic unit. Electro-stimulation promoted denitrification and COD removal efficiencies by 15.5% and 8.6%, respectively. A 20% improved nitrification efficiency was observed in oxic unit, due to elimination of AYR toxicity inhibition. No corrosion of heat-treated stainless steel occurred during the 60 days of continuous operation. Electrons sunk in denitrification and decolorization accounted for 34.4-36.8% of those released from COD removal, and 7.3% increase of removed nitrogen in nitrogenous compounds (AYR, nitrate and ammonia) was found. Electro-stimulated anaerobic unit predominated with fermentation and denitrification genera (Propionispira, Rhodocyclus, etc.) and aboundance of electro-active decolorization genus (Desulfovibrio, etc.) increased. Ammonia-oxidizing genus, Comamonas, was the most abundant in aerobic unit. Compared to the suspension, the electrostimulation could increased the abundance of electro-active genera in cathodic biofilm. This study revealed the feasibility of applying electro-stimulation and the conversion laws of nitrogenous organics in secondary bio-treatment system for treating toxic nitrogenous organics-contained wastewater.

Abstract
The feasibility of mixed dye wastewater treatment was evaluated with a novel integrated bioprocess that consisted of a hybrid anaerobic reactor (HAR) with a built-in bioelectrochemical system, an aerobic biofilm reactor (ABFR) and a denitrification reactor (DR). The position of the DR significantly affected chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colority in effluent, and placing the DR after the ABFR improved effluent quality probably due to minimization of the undesired autoxidation of aromatic amine in dye wastewater. The optimal integrated process of HAR + ABFR + DR efficiently treated mixed dye wastewater, and concentrations of COD and TN were decreased down to 75 ± 18 mg/L and 12.91 ± 0.31 mg/L, respectively, along with colority 48 ± 4 times. Total phosphorus reduced to below 0.5 mg/L with coagulation using poly aluminum chloride, and the effluent quality fully met the discharge standard. This comprehensive study suggests the feasibility of the BES based process for practical application to mixed dye wastewater treatment.
