Qian Y, Han W, Zhou F, Ji B, Zhang H, Zhang K. Effects of Pressurized Aeration on the Biodegradation of Short-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins by Escherichia coli Strain 2. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12060634. [PMID: 35736341 PMCID: PMC9227625 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12060634] [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: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) were defined as persistent organic pollutants in 2017, and they can migrate and transform in the environment, accumulate in organisms, and amplify through the food chain. Although they pose a serious threat to environmental safety and human health, there are few papers on their removal. The current SCCP removal methods are expensive, require severe operating conditions, involve time-consuming biological treatment, and have poor removal specificities. Therefore, it is important to seek efficient methods to remove SCCPs. In this paper, a pressurized reactor was introduced, and the removal performance of SCCPs by Escherichia coli strain 2 was investigated. The results indicated that moderate pure oxygen pressurization promoted bacterial growth, but when it exceeded 0.15 MPa, the bacterial growth was severely inhibited. When the concentration of SCCPs was 20 mg/L, the removal rate of SCCPs was 85.61% under 0.15 MPa pure oxygen pressurization for 7 days, which was 25% higher than at atmospheric pressure (68.83%). In contrast, the removal rate was only 69.28% under 0.15 MPa air pressure. As the pressure continued to increase, the removal rate of SCCPs decreased significantly. The total amount of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) increased significantly upon increasing the pressure, and the amount of tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) was higher than that of loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS). The pressure mainly promoted the secretion of proteins in LB-EPS. Furthermore, an appropriate pure oxygen pressure of 0.15 MPa improved the dehydrogenase activity. The gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) results indicated that the degradation pathway possibly involved the cleavage of the C–Cl bond in SCCPs, which produced Cl−, followed by C–C bond breaking. This process degraded long-chain alkanes into short-chain alkanes. Moreover, the main degradation products detected were 2,4-dimethylheptane (C9H20), 2,5-dimethylheptane (C9H20), and 3,3-dimethylhexane (C8H18).

Supersaturated-oxygen aeration effects on a high-loaded membrane bioreactor (HL-MBR): Biological performance and microbial population dynamics. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 771:144847. [PMID: 33548701 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.144847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Conventional diffused aeration systems (such as fine-bubble diffusers) exhibit a poor oxygen transfer in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), particularly when operating at sludge concentrations higher than 15 g L-1. The supersaturated dissolved oxygen (SDOX) system has been proposed as an alternative for supplying dissolved oxygen (DO) at high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations. The advantages introduced by such technology include the possibility of operating WWTPs at much higher than usual MLSS concentrations, increasing the treatment capacity of WWTPs. Recent studies have demonstrated that the SDOX system has higher oxygen transfer rates (OTRs) and oxygen transfer efficiencies (OTEs) relative to fine-bubble diffusers. However, it is unknown if the high-pressure conditions introduced by SDOX may possibly impact the biological performance of WWTPs. In this study, the effects of SDOX technology on the biological performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) were evaluated. The MBR was operated at an MLSS concentration of approximately 15 g L-1 in four phases as follows: (P1) with bubble diffusers, (P2) with an SDOX unit, (P3) with the bubble diffusers, and (P4) with the SDOX unit. The performance of the MBR was assessed by monitoring the sludge concentration, as well as changes in the particle size distribution (PSD), sludge activity, organic matter removal and nitrification performance, and changes in the microbial community within the MBR. The operational conditions exerted by the SDOX technology did not affect the concentration of active biomass during the study period. The biological performance of the MBR was not affected by the introduction of the SDOX technology. Finally, the microbial community was relatively stable although some variations at the family and genus level were evident during each of the study phases. Therefore, the SDOX system can be proposed as an alternative technology for DO supply in WWTPs increasing the overall treatment capacity.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 312:123595.

Abstract
In aerobic wastewater treatment, aeration is the most critical element of the treatment system. It supplies microorganisms with the required dissolved oxygen, maintains solids in suspension and, in membrane bioreactors, it controls fouling. However, conventional activated sludge is limited to the treatment of low strength wastewaters, as higher loadings require both higher biomass and higher dissolved oxygen concentrations. By replacing air with pure oxygen, oxygen transfer rates increase at lower flowrates. In this work, the potential and limitations of pure oxygen aeration are reviewed. The effect of the system's operational parameters and the mixed liquor characteristics on oxygen transfer, and vice versa, are determined. Pure oxygen treats higher loadings without compromising effluent quality. Fine bubbles are more efficient in oxygen transfer due to their increased contact area. However, pure oxygen is not always essential, so it is recommended to be restricted to applications where air is not adequate.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the stratification characteristics of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the properties of soluble microbial products (SMP) of the activated sludge with pulse aeration. The activated sludge was acclimated with aeration on/off time of 5 min/10 min for 60 days. The results showed that both polysaccharides (PS) and proteins (PN) increased in the loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS) and the tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) with the increase of operational time. Both the PN/PS ratio and the total LB-EPS increased in the later period of the pulse aerated acclimation process. There was an obvious positive correlation between sludge volume index (SVI) and LB-EPS (R 2 = 0.871), mainly due to the PS in LB-EPS which was also significantly correlated with SVI (R 2 = 0.954). A downward trend of SMP concentrations occurred at the end of acclimation which was opposite to the upward change of EPS contents. Two obvious fluorescence peaks were detected respectively in EPS and SMP by 3D-EEM fluorescence spectroscopy. Peak A was detected in both LB-EPS and TB-EPS, which was associated with tryptophan protein-like substances. Peak B representing humus carbon and carboxylic acids was mainly detected in SMP. The release of humus-like components in SMP from activated sludge was mainly in accordance with the dissolution and hydrolysis of PN in TB-EPS.

Abstract
Influences of organics on partial nitritation performance were investigated in a lab-scale sequencing batch biofilm reactor filled with zeolite. Significant differences in nitrite production rate (NPR) were observed between different dosages of glucose. With influent COD/N ratio from 0 to 1.5, NPR declined from 0.4 to 0.05 kg/(m3·d). Meanwhile, an appropriate NO2--N/NH4+-N ratio (1.4 ± 0.5) could be obtained for simultaneous anammox denitrification at COD/N ratio of 0.5. Increasing airflow rate was found as an effective recovery strategy. Other than competition of heterotrophs with nitrifiers for dissolved oxygen, it has been verified that addition of organics generated higher free ammonia, and then further inhibitedammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Moreover, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) results revealed that protein-like and humic acid-like substances were the main components in extracellularpolymericsubstances (EPS). And high-throughput sequencing analysis demonstrated that the relative abundance of AOB decreased.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of food to microorganisms rate (F/M) on organic removal, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP) of the pure oxygen aerated activated sludge running in batch mode. The F/M rates were controlled by adjusting the MLSS concentrations (2000, 5000, 8000 mg/L) and/or the initial TOC concentrations (100, 500 mg/L). Results showed that at high F/M rate (0.25 kg TOC/kg MLSS), the substrate degradation rate in the oxygen aerated reactor could reach 1.347 mg TOC/(L·min)), much higher than that in the air aerated reactor (0.640 mg TOC/(L·min)). The SMP concentrations with oxygen aeration were also higher than those with air aeration under high F/M conditions. The total EPS contents in the pure oxygen aerated sludge were significantly lower regardless of the different F/M rates. High F/M condition would lead to more amount of polysaccharides synthesis rather than proteins synthesis in EPS.

Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate achievement, performance and characteristics of microbial products in a partial nitrification sequencing batch reactor as a pretreatment for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). After 100 days long-term operation, the effluent NO2--N/NH4+N ratio of the reactor was average at 1.3 and NO3--N concentration was low by controlling low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, which was considered as the ideal influent for anammox. Specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) implied that (SOUR)NH4 and (SOUR)NO2 of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in sludge changed from 21.73 ± 0.52 and 27.39 ± 0.50 O2/g SS/h to 36.37 ± 0.85 and 12.04 ± 0.17 O2/g SS/h, respectively. The main compositions of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP), including proteins (PN) and polysaccharides (PS), were both reduced during the achievement of partial nitrification. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) and synchronous fluorescence spectra revealed that PN-like, fulvic acid-like and humic acid-like substances were identified in both EPS and SMP, and their fluorescence intensities changed significantly after partial nitrification achievement. It was found from typical cycle that free ammonia (FA) may play a significant role on inhibiting the activity of NOB. The obtained results could provide more information on the performance of partial nitrification through the characteristics of microbial products when treating high ammonium wastewater.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the organic removal efficiency and microbial population dynamics in activated sludge with pressurized aeration. The activated sludge was fed with synthetic wastewater composed of simple carbon source to avoid the effect of complex components on microbial communities. The pressurized acclimation process was conducted in a bench-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) under 0.3 MPa gage pressure. Another SBR was running in atmospheric environment as a control reactor, with the same operation parameters except for the pressure. Bacterial diversity was investigated by Illumina sequencing technology. The results showed that the total organic carbon removal efficiency of the pressurized reactor was significantly higher, while the mixed liquor suspended solids concentrations were much lower than those of the control reactor. Moderate pressure of 0.3 MPa had little effect on Alpha-diversity of bacterial communities due to the similar running conditions, e.g., feed water, solids retention time (SRT) and the cyclic change of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. Although the relative percentage of the bacterial community changed among samples, there was no major change of predominant bacterial populations between the pressurized group and the control group. Pressurized aeration would have a far-reaching impact on microbial community in activated sludge when treating wastewaters being unfavorable to the dissolution of oxygen.

Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of moderate pressure on organic matter removal efficiency and microbial population of activated sludge treating saline wastewater. The activated sludge was cultivated with a gradual increase of salt concentrations under gage pressure of 0.3MPa for 71days. Microbial diversities of activated sludge sampled in different stages of domestication were investigated by Illumina sequencing technology. Results showed that pressurized aeration could improve the treatment efficiency and the dehydrogenase activity (DHA) of activated sludge, especially at high salinity (35, 50gNaClL-1). Bacterial richness and community diversity of activated sludge in the pressurized reactor were significantly higher than those in the control reactor. Microbial population structures were quite different between the two reactors. More species originating from fresh wastewater biological treatment process would survive and remain in pressurized activated sludge.
