[PMID: 38829499 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33525-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
The integrated system of anaerobic digestion and microbial electrolysis cells (AD-MEC) was a novel approach to enhance the degradation of food waste anaerobic digestate and recover methane. Through long-term operation, the start-up method, organic loading, and methane production mechanism of the digestate have been investigated. At an organic loading rate of 4000 mg/L, AD-MEC increased methane production by 3-4 times and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) removal by 20.3% compared with anaerobic digestion (AD). The abundance of bacteria Fastidiosipila and Geobacter, which participated in the acid degradation and direct electron transfer in the AD-MEC, increased dramatically compared to that in the AD. The dominant methanogenic archaea in the AD-MEC and AD were Methanobacterium (44.4-56.3%) and Methanocalculus (70.05%), respectively. Geobacter and Methanobacterium were dominant in the AD-MEC by direct electron transfer of organic matter into synthetic methane intermediates. AD-MEC showed a perfect SCOD removal efficiency of the digestate, while methane as clean energy was obtained. Therefore, AD-MEC was a promising technology for deep energy transformation from digestate.

[PMID: 38520852 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
The objective of this review was to provide quantitative insights into algal growth and nutrient removal in anaerobic digestate. To synthesize the relevant literature, a meta-analysis was conducted using data from 58 articles to elucidate key factors that impact algal biomass productivity and nutrient removal from anaerobic digestate. On average, algal biomass productivity in anaerobic digestate was significantly lower than that in synthetic control media (p < 0.05) but large variation in productivity was observed. A mixed-effects multiple regression model across study revealed that biological or chemical pretreatment of digestate significantly increase productivity (p < 0.001). In contrast, the commonly used practice of digestate dilution was not a significant factor in the model. High initial total ammonia nitrogen suppressed algal growth (p = 0.036) whereas initial total phosphorus concentration, digestate sterilization, CO2 supplementation, and temperature were not statistically significant factors. Higher growth corresponded with significantly higher NH4-N and phosphorus removal with a linear relationship of 6.4 mg NH4-N and 0.73 mg P removed per 100 mg of algal biomass growth (p < 0.001). The literature suggests that suboptimal algal growth in anaerobic digestate could be due to factors such as turbidity, high free ammonia, and residual organic compounds. This analysis shows that non-dilution approaches, such as biological or chemical pretreatment, for alleviating algal inhibition are recommended for algal digestate treatment systems.

Abstract
Wine production represents one of the most important agro-industrial sectors in Italy. Wine lees are the most significant waste in the winery industry and have high disposal and storage costs and few applications within the circular economy. In this study, anaerobic digestion and a microalgae coupled process was studied in order to treat wine lees and waste activated sludge produced within the same facility, with the aim of producing energy and valuable microalgae biomass that could be processed to recover biofuel or biostimulant. Chlorella vulgaris was cultivated on liquid digestate in a semi-continuous system without biomass recirculation. The best growth and phytoremediation performance were achieved applying a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 20 days with a stable dry weight, lipid and protein storage of 1.85 ± 0.02 g l-1, 33.48 ± 7.54 % and 57.85 ± 10.14 % respectively. Lipid characterization highlighted the potential use in high quality biodiesel production, according to EN14214 (<12 % v/v linolenic acid). The microalgae reactor's liquid output showed high removal of ammonia (95.72 ± 2.10 %), but low organic soluble matter reduction. Further semi-continuous process optimization was carried out by increasing the time between digestate feeding and biomass recovery at HRT 10. These operative changes avoided biomass wash-out and provided a stable phytoremediation of the digestate with 84.58 ± 4.02 % ammonia removal, 33.01 ± 1.44 % sCOD removal, 38.06 ± 2.65 % of polyphenols removal.

Abstract
Currently, scarcity/security of clean water and energy resources are the most serious problems worldwide. Industries use large volume of ground water and a variety of chemicals to manufacture the products and discharge large volume of wastewater into environment, which causes severe impacts on environment and public health. Fossil fuels are considered as major energy resources for electricity and transportation sectors, which release large amount of CO2 and micro/macro pollutants, leading to cause the global warming and public health hazards. Therefore, algae-bacterial consortium (A-BC) may be eco-friendly, cost-effective and sustainable alternative way to treat the industrial wastewaters (IWWs) with Bio-H2 production. A-BC has potential to reduce the global warming and eutrophication. It also protects environment and public health as it converts toxic IWWs into non or less toxic (biomass). It also reduces 94%, 90% and 50% input costs of nutrients, freshwater and energy, respectively during IWWs treatment and Bio-H2 production. Most importantly, it produce sustainable alternative (Bio-H2) to replace use of fossil fuels and fill the world's energy demand in eco-friendly manner. Thus, this review paper provides a detailed knowledge on industrial wastewaters, their pollutants and toxic effects on water/soil/plant/humans and animals. It also provides an overview on A-BC, IWWs treatment, Bio-H2 production, fermentation process and its enhancement methods. Further, various molecular and analytical techniques are also discussed to characterize the A-BC structure, interactions, metabolites and Bio-H2 yield. The significance of A-BC, recent update, challenges and future prospects are also discussed.

Abstract
The indigenous microalga Chlorella sorokiniana NBU-3 grown under air, 5 %, 15 %, and 25 % CO2 supply was evaluated to determine its potential for flue gas bio-capture, nutrient removal capacity and biomass yield using non-sterilized wastewater as growth medium. The results indicated that C. sorokiniana NBU-3 exhibited high nutrient removal efficiency (>95 % for NH4+-N, TN and TP) with either air or CO2 aeration. 5 %-15 % CO2 supplies promote biomass yield, nutrient utilization and CO2 biofixation of C. sorokiniana NBU-3. In particular, 15 % CO2 promotes C. sorokiniana NBU-3 growth in non-sterilized MW, but inhibits its growth in BG11 medium, indicating the importance of non-sterilized MW and high CO2 aeration concurrence for C. sorokiniana NBU-3 economically practical cultivation. Moreover, the highest values of lipid (27.84 ± 2.12 %) and protein (32.65 ± 4.11 %) contents were obtained in MW with 15 % CO2 aeration. Conceivably, microalgal-bacterial symbiosis may help C. sorokiniana NBU-3 tolerate high concentration of CO2 and promote microalga growth. The succession of the community diversity toward the specific functional bacterial species such as Methylobacillus and Methylophilus (Proteobacteria) which were predicted to possess the function of methylotroph, methanol oxidation and ureolysis would help facilitate the microalgal-bacterial symbiosis and promote the microalgae biomass accumulation with high dosage of CO2 aeration. Overall, these findings clearly highlight the potential of this indigenous microalga C. sorokiniana NBU-3 for industrial-emission level CO2 mitigation and commercial microalga biomass production in MW.

Abstract
Microalgae cultivation in wastewater has received much attention as an environmentally sustainable approach. However, commercial application of this technique is challenging due to the low biomass output and high harvesting costs. Recently, integrated culture and harvest systems including microalgae biofilm, membrane photobioreactor, microalgae-fungi co-culture, microalgae-activated sludge co-culture, and microalgae auto-flocculation have been explored for efficiently coupling microalgal biomass production with wastewater purification. In such systems, the cultivation of microalgae and the separation of algal cells from wastewater are performed in the same reactor, enabling microalgae grown in the cultivation system to reach higher concentration, thus greatly improving the efficiency of biomass production and wastewater purification. Additionally, the design of such innovative systems also allows for microalgae cells to be harvested more efficiently. This review summarizes the mechanisms, characteristics, applications, and development trends of the various integrated systems and discusses their potential for broad applications, which worth further research.

Abstract
Undiluted dairy farm liquid digestate contains high levels of organic matters, chromaticity and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), resulting in inhibition to microalgal growth. In this study, a novel cascade pretreatment with ozonation and ammonia stripping (O + S) was employed to remove these inhibitors, and was compared with single pretreatment approach. The optimum parameters for ozonation and ammonia stripping were obtained and the mechanisms of inhibition elimination were investigated. The results show that ozonation contributed to the degradation of non-fluorescent chromophoric organics through the direct molecular ozone attack, which mitigated the inhibition of chromaticity to microalgae, while ammonia stripping relieved the inhibition of high TAN to microalgae. After cascade pretreatment, TAN, total nitrogen (TN), COD and chromaticity were reduced by 80.2 %, 75.4 %, 20.6 % and 75.8 % respectively. When C. vulgaris was cultured on different pretreated digestate, it was found that cascade pretreatment was beneficial for retaining high PSII activity and synergistically improved microalgal growth. The highest biomass increment and productivity achieved 5.40 g L-1 and 900 mg L-1 d-1 respectively in the integration system of cascade pretreatment with microalgae cultivation (O + S + M). After O + S + M treatment, the removal efficiencies of TAN, TN, COD and total phosphorus (TP) were 100 %, 92.8 %, 46.7 % and 99.6 %, respectively. This work provided a promising strategy (O + S + M) for sustainable liquid digestate treatment, along with nutrient recovery and value-added biomass production.

Abstract
The algae-bacteria symbiosis system (ABS) is used to effectively solve the problems of low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, low biodegradability and high ammonia toxicity in swine digestion effluent. This study examined the effects of the concentration and type of carbon source on ABS in the pollutants removal especially ammonia. When C/N ratio was 30:1 and carbon source was sodium acetate, the ABS was most conducive to the removal of nitrogen, phosphorus and COD, and to the accumulation of biomass and lipids. To make the wastewater discharge meet the relevant standard, the ABS + mono-cultivation of algae reprocessing system (MAS), was applied to actual swine digestion effluent. Through adjusting the C/N ratio in ABS to 30:1, the biomass concentration was 2.06 times higher than that of raw wastewater, and the removal efficiencies of NH4+-N, TN, TP and COD increased by 1.43, 1.46, 1.95 and 1.28 times, respectively. The final concentrations of NH4+-N, TN, TP and COD after the treatment of ABS (C/N ratio of 30:1) + MAS, were 16.98 ± 1.07 mg L-1, 18.72 ± 1.81 mg L-1, 0.48 ± 0.01 mg L-1 and 263.49 ± 11.89 mg L-1, respectively, reached the Chinese discharge standards for livestock and poultry wastewater. Bacterial community analysis showed that the dominant species of the ABS (C/N ratio of 30:1) was Corynebacterium (genus level). This study revealed that adjusting the concentration and type of carbon source was helpful to the nutrient cycling and resource utilization of ABS, indicating a feasible technique for treating high ammonia nitrogen digestate.

Abstract
Microalgal-bacterial consortium (MBC) constitutes a sustainable and efficient alternative to the conventional activated sludge process for wastewater treatment (WWT). Recently, integrating the MBC process with nitritation (i.e., shortcut MBC) has been proposed to achieve added benefits of reduced carbon and aeration requirements. In the shortcut MBC system, nitrite or free nitrous acid (FNA) accumulation exerts antimicrobial influences that disrupt the stable process performance. In this review, the formation and interactions that influence the performance of the MBC were firstly summarized. Then the influence of FNA on microalgal and bacterial monocultures and related mechanisms together with the knowledge gaps of FNA influence on the shortcut MBC were highlighted. Other challenges and future perspectives that impact the scale-up of the shortcut MBC for WWT were illustrated. A potential roadmap is proposed on how to maximize the stable operation of the shortcut MBC system for sustainable WWT and high-value biomass production.

[PMID: 35787906 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Sustainable environmental management is one of the important aspects of sustainable development goals. Increasing amounts of wastewaters (WW) from exponential economic growth is a major challenge, and conventional treatment methods entail a huge carbon footprint in terms of energy use and GHG emissions. Microalgae-based WW treatment is a potential candidate for sustainable WW treatment. The nutrients which are otherwise unutilized in the conventional processes are recovered in the beneficial microalgal biomass. This review presents comprehensive information regarding the potential of microalgae as sustainable bioremediation agents. Microalgae-bacterial consortia play a critical role in synergistic nutrient removal, supported by the complex nutritional and metabolite exchange between microalgae and the associated bacteria. Design of effective microalgae-bacteria consortia either by screening or by recent technologies such as synthetic biology approaches are highly required for efficient WW treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the crucial research gap in microalgal WW treatment - the application of a multi-omics platform for understanding microalgal response towards WW conditions and the design of effective microalgal or microalgae-bacteria consortia based on genetic information. While metagenomics helps in the identification and monitoring of the microbial community throughout the treatment process, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics aid in studying the algal cellular response towards the nutrients and pollutants in WW. It has been established that the integration of microalgal processes into conventional WW treatment systems is feasible. In this direction, future research directions for microalgal WW treatment emphasize the need for identifying the niche in WW treatment, while highlighting the pilot sale plants in existence. Microalgae-based WW treatment could be a potential phase in the waste hierarchy of circular economy and sustainability, considering WWs are a rich secondary source of finite resources such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

Abstract
Circular agriculture and economy systems have recently emerged around the world. It is a long-term environmental strategy that promotes economic growth and food security while reducing negative environmental consequences. Anaerobic digestion (AD) process has a high contribution and effective biodegradation route for bio-wastes valorization and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. However, the remaining massive digestate by-product contains non-fermented organic fractions, macro and/or micro-nutrients, heavy metals, and metalloids. Direct application of digestate in agriculture negatively affected the properties of the soil due to the high load of nutrients as well as the residuals of GHGs are emitted to the environment. Recycling and valorizing of anaerobic digestate is the main challenge for the sustainable biogas industry and nutrients recovery. To date, there is no global standard process for the safe digestate handling. This review described the biochemical composition and separation processes of anaerobic digestate. Further, advanced physical, chemical, and biological remediation's of the diverse digestate are comprehensively discussed. Moreover, recycling technologies such as phyco-remediation, bio-floc, and entomoremediation were reviewed as promising solutions to enhance energy and nutrient recovery, making the AD technology more sustainable with additional profits. Finally, this review gives an in-depth discussion of current biorefinery technologies, key roles of process parameters, and identifies challenges of nutrient recovery from digestate and prospects for future studies at large scale.

Abstract
The effects of adjusting the nitrogen-phosphorus (N/P) ratio of wastewater and indigenous bacteria on swine wastewater treatment by Chlorella sp. HL were investigated. The optimal N/P ratio of Chlorella in swine wastewater was 20 by adjusting the phosphorus concentration. The participation of indigenous bacteria increased total extracellular polymeric substances content, which was beneficial to maintain the stability of the algal-bacterial consortium, and improved the algal density and the removal rate of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand by 47.8%, 24.0%, 30.7%, and 326.7%, respectively. Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum with the relative abundance of 71.58% in the algal-bacterial system at optimal N/P ratio, and Brevundimonas, Chryseobacterium, and Pseudomonas played positive roles in the establishment of symbiotic systems at the genus level. These results provide a theoretical basis for the construction of an efficient algal-bacterial symbiotic system in swine wastewater treatment and support for commercial scale-up.

Abstract
In this study, microalgae-bacteria consortia were developed using bacteria and microalgae isolated from biogas slurry for enhanced nutrients recovery and promoted microalgae growth in wastewater. The enhancement rate was introduced to quantify the interaction between bacteria and microalgae. Co-culture of the indigenous microalgae and bacteria could significantly improve the tolerance of microorganisms to pollutants, increase value-added products' production, promote nutrients removal, and reduce carbon emissions compared to mono-culture. The co-culture of Chlorella sp. GZQ001 and Lysinibacillus sp. SJX05 performed best, with its biomass, lipid, protein and fatty acid methyl ester productivities achieved 113.3, 19.2, 40.9 and 3.7 mg·L-1·d-1, respectively. The corresponding nutrients removal efficiencies for ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, total organic carbon, and total phosphorus were 83.2%, 82.1%, 34.0% and 76.6%, respectively. These results indicated that co-culture of certain indigenous bacteria and microalgae is beneficial to biogas slurry treatment and microalgae growth.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to provide a bibliometric analysis and mapping of existing scientific papers, focusing on microalgae cultivation coupled with biomass production and bioremediation of wastewater from agricultural industries, including cassava, dairy, and coffee. Using the Web of Science (WoS) database for the period 1996-2021, a search was performed using a keyword strategy, aiming at segregating the papers in groups. For the first search step, the keywords "wastewater treatment", AND "microalgae", AND "cassava" OR "dairy" OR "coffee" were used, resulting in 59 papers. For the second step, the keywords "wastewater treatment" AND "biomass productivity" AND "microalgae" AND "economic viability" OR "environmental impacts" were used, which resulted in 34 articles. In these papers, keywords such as "carbon dioxide biofixation" and "removal of nutrients by the production of biomass by microalgae" followed by "environmental and economic impacts" were highlighted. Some of these papers presented an analysis of the economic feasibility of the process, which reveal the state-of-the-art setup required to make the cultivation of microalgae economically viable. Researches focusing on the efficiency of microalgae biomass harvesting are needed to improve the integration of microalgae production in industrial eco-parks using wastewater to achieve the global goal of bioremediation and clean alternatives for renewable energy generation.

Abstract
The microalgal-bacterial symbiotic (MBS) system shows great advantages in the synchronous implementation of wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery. To enhance the understanding of different MBS systems, this review summarizes reported MBS systems and proposes three patterns according to the living state of microalgae and bacteria. They are free microalgal-bacterial (FMB) system, attached microalgal-bacterial (AMB) system and bioflocculated microalgal-bacterial (BMB) system. Compared with the other two patterns, BMB system shows the advantages of microalgal biomass harvesting and application. To further understand the microalgal-bacterial partnerships in the bioflocculation of BMB system, this review discusses bioflocs characteristics, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) properties and production, and the effect of microalgae/bacteria ratio and microalgal strains on the formation of bioflocculation. Microalgal biomass production and application are important for BMB system development in the future. Food processing wastewater characterized by high biodegradability and low toxicity should be conducive for microalgal cultivation. In addition, exogenous addition of functional bacteria for nutrient removal and bioflocculation formation would be a crucial research direction to facilitate the large-scale application of BMB system.

Abstract
There is a growing global recognition that microalgae-based biofuel are environment-friendly and economically feasible options because they incur several advantages over traditional fossil fuels. Also, the microalgae can be manipulated for extraction of value-added compounds such as lipids (triacylglycerols), carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins, pigments, antioxidants, various antimicrobial compounds, etc. Recently, there is an increasing focus on the co-cultivation practices of microalgae with other microorganisms to enhance biomass and lipid productivity. In a co-cultivation strategy, microalgae grow symbiotically with other heterotrophic microbes such as bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other algae/microalgae. They exchange nutrients and metabolites; this helps to increase the productivity, therefore facilitating the commercialization of microalgal-based fuel. Co-cultivation also facilitates biomass harvesting and waste valorization, thereby help to build an algal biorefinery platform for bioenergy production along with multivariate high value bioproducts and simultaneous waste bioremediation. This article comprehensively reviews various microalgae cultivation practices utilizing co-culture approaches with other algae, fungi, bacteria, and yeast. The review mainly focuses on the impact of several binary culture strategies on biomass and lipid yield. The advantages and challenges associated with the procedure along with their respective cultivation modes have also been presented and discussed in detail.

Abstract
The mechanisms of bacterial nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs) were investigated in the present work. Three types of CWs were assessed: vertical flow (VF), horizontal flow (HF), and surface flow (SF), each with three planting conditions, with either Thalia, Canna or without plants. The results show that construction types affected microbes more than planting conditions. VF CWs promoted the aerobic processing of total N, total P, COD, and NH3-N, increasing the respective removal efficiencies by 4-19%, 13-32%, 19-29%, and 75-80%, respectively, compared with SF CWs. The relative abundance of nitrifying, denitrifying, methanotrophic and dephosphorized bacteria, and functional genes such as nxrA, nirK, nosZ, mmoX, and phoD were higher in VF CWs. Positive and simple gene networks in VF CWs can effectively reduce the redundancy in functional genes, enhance bacterial function and gene interactions, thus promoting nutrient removal.
