Insight into the potentiality of nano zero-valent iron on enhancing the nitrite accumulation and phosphorus removal performance of endogenous partial denitrification systems. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 352:141304. [PMID: 38309602 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141304] [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: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Endogenous partial denitrification (EPD) has drawn a lot of interest due to its abundant nitrite (NO2--N) accumulation capacity. However, the poor phosphate (PO43--P) removal rate of EPD restricts its promotion and application. In this study, the potentiality of various nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) concentrations (0, 20, 40, and 80 mg/L) on NO2--N accumulation and PO43--P removal in EPD systems had been investigated. Results showed that nZVI improved NO2--N accumulation and PO43--P removal, with the greatest nitrate-to-nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) and PO43--P removal rate of 97.74 % and 64.76 % respectively at the optimum nZVI level (80 mg/L). Microbial community analysis also proved that nZVI had a remarkable influence on the microbial community of EPD. Candidatus_Competibacter was contribute to NO2--N accumulation which was enriched from 24.74 % to 40.02 %. The enrichment of Thauera, Rhodobacteraceae, Pseudomonas were contributed to PO43--P removal. The chemistry of nZVI not only compensated for the deficiency of biological PO43--P removal, but also enhanced NO2--N enrichment. Therefore, nZVI had the huge potentiality to improve the operational performance of the EPD system.

Abstract
The iron‑nitrogen (FeN) cycle driven by microbes has great potential for treating wastewater. Fe is a metal that is frequently present in the environment and one of the crucial trace elements needed by microbes. Due to its synergistic role in the microbial N removal process, Fe goes much beyond the essential nutritional needs of microorganisms. Investigating the mechanisms behind the linked Fe-N cycle driven by microbes is crucial. The Fe-N cycle is frequently connected with anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), nitrification, denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), Feammox, and simultaneous nitrification denitrification (SND), etc. Although the main mechanisms of Fe-mediated biological N removal may vary depending on the valence state of the Fe, their similar transformation pathways may provide information on the study of certain element-microbial interactions. This review offers a thorough analysis of the facilitation effect and influence of Fe on the removal of nitrogenous pollutants in various biological N removal processes and summarizes the ideal Fe dosing. Additionally, the synergistic mechanisms of Fe and microbial synergistic N removal process are elaborated, covering four aspects: enzyme activity, electron transfer, microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secretion, and microbial community interactions. The methods to improve biological N removal based on the intrinsic mechanism were also discussed, with the aim of thoroughly understanding the biological mechanisms of Fe in the microbial N removal process and providing a reference and thinking for employing Fe to promote microbial N removal in practical applications.

Abstract
Innovation in decarbonizing wastewater treatment is urgent in response to global climate change. The practical implementation of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) treating domestic wastewater is the key to reconciling carbon-neutral management of wastewater treatment with sustainable development. Nitrite availability is the prerequisite of the anammox reaction, but how to achieve robust nitrite supply and accumulation for mainstream systems remains elusive. This work presents a state-of-the-art review on the recent advances in nitrite supply for mainstream anammox, paying special attention to available pathways (forward-going (from ammonium to nitrite) and backward-going (from nitrate to nitrite)), key controlling strategies, and physiological and ecological characteristics of functional microorganisms involved in nitrite supply. First, we comprehensively assessed the mainstream nitrite-oxidizing bacteria control methods, outlining that these technologies are transitioning to technologies possessing multiple selective pressures (such as intermittent aeration and membrane-aerated biological reactor), integrating side stream treatment (such as free ammonia/free nitrous acid suppression in recirculated sludge treatment), and maintaining high activity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and anammox bacteria for competing oxygen and nitrite with nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. We then highlight emerging strategies of nitrite supply, including the nitrite production driven by novel ammonia-oxidizing microbes (ammonia-oxidizing archaea and complete ammonia oxidation bacteria) and nitrate reduction pathways (partial denitrification and nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation). The resources requirement of different mainstream nitrite supply pathways is analyzed, and a hybrid nitrite supply pathway by combining partial nitrification and nitrate reduction is encouraged. Moreover, data-driven modeling of a mainstream nitrite supply process as well as proactive microbiome management is proposed in the hope of achieving mainstream nitrite supply in practical application. Finally, the existing challenges and further perspectives are highlighted, i.e., investigation of nitrite-supplying bacteria, the scaling-up of hybrid nitrite supply technologies from laboratory to practical implementation under real conditions, and the data-driven management for the stable performance of mainstream nitrite supply. The fundamental insights in this review aim to inspire and advance our understanding about how to provide nitrite robustly for mainstream anammox and shed light on important obstacles warranting further settlement.

Abstract
Sponge iron (SI) is a promising material for nitrogen removal from wastewater. This study reveals the potential functions and mechanisms of SI-mediated multiple metabolic processes in the nitrogen removal of Anammox. The results showed that although the SI application prolonged the start-up time of the reactor, achieved efficient and stable nitrogen removal after a successful start-up. The total nitrogen removal efficiency of the SI-Anammox system (92.62%) was 13.30% higher than that of R0 without SI (79.32%). The increase in nitrogen removal performance was accompanied by an increase in SAA and EPS content. Further microbial analysis showed significant enrichment of functional microorganisms, such as Candidatus_Brocadia, Nitrosomonas, Ellin6067, and Nitrospira. Multi-omics evidence suggests that efficient nitrogen removal is ultimately attributable to the enhancement of the specific key Fe- and N-functional genes in Anammox.

Effect of antibiotics on the performance of moving bed biofilm reactor for simultaneous removal of nitrogen, phosphorus and copper(II) from aquaculture wastewater. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 266:115590.

Abstract
Co-existence of NO3--N, antibiotics, phosphorus (P), and Cu2+ in aquaculture wastewater has been frequently detected, but simultaneous removal and relationship between enzyme and pollutants removal are far from satisfactory. In this study, simultaneous removal of NO3--N, P, antibiotics, and Cu2+ by moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was established. About 95.51 ± 3.40% of NO3--N, 61.24 ± 3.51% of COD, 18.74 ± 1.05% of TP, 88% of Cu2+ were removed synchronously in stage I, and antibiotics removal in stages I-IV was 73.00 ± 1.32%, 79.53 ± 0.88%, 51.07 ± 3.99%, and 33.59 ± 2.73% for tetracycline (TEC), oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), respectively. The removal kinetics and toxicity of MBBR effluent were examined, indicating that the first order kinetic model could better reflect the removal of NO3--N, TN, and antibiotics. Co-existence of multiple antibiotics and Cu2+ was the most toxicity to E. coli growth. Key enzyme activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and its relationship with TN removal were investigated. The results showed that enzymes activities were significantly different under the co-existence of antibiotics and Cu2+. Meanwhile, different components of biofilm were extracted and separated, and enzymatic and non-enzymatic effects of biofilm were evaluated. The results showed that 70.00%- 94.73% of Cu2+ was removed by extracellular enzyme in stages I-V, and Cu2+ removal was mainly due to the action of extracellular enzyme. Additionally, microbial community of biofilm was assessed, showing that Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Gemmatimonadetes played an important role in the removal of NO3--N, Cu2+, and antibiotics at the phylum level. Finally, chemical bonds of attached and detached biofilm were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and effect of nitrogen (N) and P was proposed under the co-existence of antibiotics and Cu2+. This study provides a theoretical basis for further exploring the bioremediation of NO3--N, Cu2+, and antibiotics in aquaculture wastewater.

Abstract
Three kinds of bioretention were designed to explore the effects of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and biochar on the nitrogen removal performance and to seek a more reasonable packing method in this study. The results showed that the effluent removal rates of nitrate, ammonium and total nitrogen were 53.30 ± 12.68%, 98.41 ± 0.38% and 64.03 ± 8.72% respectively in Bioretention-3 during the rainfall events, while the nitrate concentration decreased gradually with the increase of drying time. According to the batch experiment, it was found that zero-valent iron could release continuously and stably in Bioretention-3 and Bioretention-1 due to the interception effect of biochar on dissolved oxygen. In addition, biochar in soil layer could protect zero-valent iron from excessive oxidation while biochar in the substrate layer could release organic matter to promote heterotrophic denitrification. Microbial community analysis showed that the dominant phyla were Proteobacteria (20.92-40.81%) and Actinobacteriota (9.89-24.54%). The dominant nitrifying genera was Nitrospira while there were also aerobic denitrifying bacteria (Sphingomonas, Bradyrhizobium and Chryseolinea, etc.) in soil layer. In the substrate layer, there was more ferrous iron-mediated autotrophic denitrification process (Thiobacillus, Geobacter and Denitratisoma, etc.) in Bioretention-1 and Bioretention-3 while a larger proportion of Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction to Ammonium process (DNRA) (Bacillus, Desulfovibrio and Pseudomonas, etc.) in Bioretention-2. In general, this study showed that biochar addition in soil coupled with mixing zero-valent iron and biochar as substrate layer was a more stable and efficient design through various aspects of evidence. It provides a new way for how to use zero-valent iron and biochar to improve nitrogen removal capacity in stormwater management.

Abstract
Removal of nitrogen and carbon from anaerobic digester (AD) effluents is challenging for currently available technologies. Herein, effective treatment for real AD effluents was achieved via the feammox process by using a Multistage Feammox Bioreactor (MSFB). The reactor achieved the best performance with AD effluent of a low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 2.5. A 6-day retention time reached removal efficiencies for NH4+ and COD at 99 % and 97 %, respectively, with a thorough conversion of NH4+ to N2. Accordingly, the MSFB achieved removal rates for N and C of 14 and 34 mg L-1 d-1, respectively. The C/N ratio of 2.5 is regarded to be the critical point above which the feammox is shifted to conventional iron reduction with organic carbon. Iron-reducing bacteria of the γ- Proteobacteria (Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter), and δ- Proteobacteria (Geobacter) were dominant in the MSFB and were supposed to drive the feammox process.

Abstract
Ammonium oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction (Feammox) is a newly discovered iron-nitrogen cycle process of microbial catalyzed NH4+ oxidation coupled with iron reduction. Fe(III) often exists in the form of insoluble iron minerals resulting in reduced microbial availability and low efficiency of Feammox. Electron shuttles(ESs) can be reversibly oxidized and reduced which has the potential to improve Feammox efficiency. This review summarizes the discovery process, electron transfer mechanism, influencing factors and driven microorganisms of Feammox, ang expounds the possibility and potential mechanism of ESs to enhance Feammox efficiency. Based on an in-depth analysis of the current research situation of Feammox for nitrogen removal, the knowledge gaps and future research directions including how to apply ESs enhanced Feammox to promote nitrogen removal in practical wastewater treatment have been highlighted. This review can provide new ideas for the engineering application research of Feammox and strong theoretical support for its development.
