Abstract
In this study, modified polyamide fibers were used as biocarriers to enrich dense biofilms in a multi-stage biological contact oxidation reactor (MBCOR) in which partitioned wastewater treatment zone (WTZ) and bioaugmentation zone (BAZ) were established to enhance the removal of methyl orange (MO) and its metabolites while minimizing sludge yields. WTZ exhibited high biomass loading capacity (5.75 ± 0.31 g/g filler), achieving MO removal rate ranging from 68 % to 86 % under different aeration condition within 8 h in which the most dominant genus Chlorobium played an important role. In the BAZ, Pseudoxanthomonas was the dominant genus while carbon starvation stimulated the enrichment of chemoheterotrophy and aerobic_chemoheterotrophy genes thereby enhanced the microbial utilization of cell-released substrates, MO as well as its metabolic intermediates. These results revealed the mechanism bioaugmentation on MBCOR in effectively eliminating both MO and its metabolites.

Anaerobic treatment removing tetrabromobisphenol A and biota safety: How do tropical aquatic species respond to effluent toxicity over short- and long-term exposures? WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2024; 96:e11065. [PMID: 38895814 DOI: 10.1002/wer.11065] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Wastewater containing tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a commonly used flame retardant found in wastewater, can present significant toxic effects on biota, yet its impact on tropical freshwater environments is not well understood. This study explores the effectiveness of two independent anaerobic treatment systems, the acidogenic reactor (AR) and the methanogenic reactor (MR), for the ecotoxicity reduction of TBBPA-rich wastewater in four tropical freshwater species. Despite presenting good physicochemical performance and reduced toxicity of the influent for most species, AR and MR treatments remain acute and chronic toxicity. Overall, MR exhibited greater efficacy in reducing influent toxicity compared with AR. TBBPA bioaccumulation was observed in Chironomus sancticaroli after short-term exposure to 100% MR effluent. Multigenerational exposures highlighted changes in the wing length of C. sancticaroli, showing decreases after influent and AR exposures and increases after MR exposures. These findings underscore the need for ecotoxicological tools in studies of new treatment technologies, combining the removal of emerging contaminants with safeguarding aquatic biota. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Acidogenic and methanogenic reactors reduced the acute and chronic toxicity of wastewater containing tetrabromobisphenol A. Both treatments still exhibit toxicity, inducing short- and long-term toxic effects on four native tropical species. The aquatic species Pristina longiseta was most sensitive to effluents from acidogenic and methanogenic reactors. TBBPA concentrations recovered from Chironomus sancticaroli bioaccumulation analysis ranged from 1.07 to 1.35 μg g-1. Evaluating new treatment technologies with multiple species bioassays is essential for a comprehensive effluent toxicity assessment and ensuring aquatic safety.

Abstract
Dye-contaminated water has caused a worldwide pollution, which is threatening aquatic organisms and human health. In this work, a pressure-driven foam adsorbent (PFA) was bioinspired from the tapestry turban for purifying the dye-contaminated water. The PFA was prepared using an one-step method from nanocellulose (NC), amino-functionalized ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-NH2), and high resilience polyurethane foam (PUF). It was applied to efficiently remove methyl orange (MO) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from dye-contaminated waste solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity of PFA for MO and CV was 225.9 mg/g (25 °C, pH = 2) and 41.6 mg/g (25 °C, pH = 10), respectively, which were acceptable as compared with the reported works. The dyes could be efficiently removed from various river water samples. After 5 cycles, the removal efficiencies of MO and CV decreased from 92.0% and 85.7% to 84.7% and 76.1%, respectively. Moreover, the PFA relied on pressure-driven force to release the purified water under a low pressure.

Abstract
The current industrial and human activities scenario has accelerated the widespread use of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), which can be found in everyday products, including plastic containers, bottles, toys, cosmetics, etc., but can pose a severe risk to human health and the environment. In this regard, fungal bioremediation appears as a green and cost-effective approach to removing pollutants from water resources. Besides, immobilizing fungal cells onto nanofibrous membranes appears as an innovative strategy to improve remediation performance by allowing the adsorption and degradation to occur simultaneously. Herein, we developed a novel nanostructured bioremediation platform based on polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (PAN NFM) as supporting material for immobilizing an endophytic fungus to remove bisphenol A (BPA), a typical EDC. The endophytic strain was isolated from Handroanthus impetiginosus leaves and identified as Phanerochaete sp. H2 by molecular methods. The successful assembly of fungus onto the PAN NFM surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with free fungus cells, the PAN@H2 NFM displayed a high BPA removal efficiency (above 85%) at an initial concentration of 5 ppm, suggesting synergistic removal by simultaneous adsorption and biotransformation. Moreover, the biotransformation pathway was investigated, and the chemical structures of fungal metabolites of BPA were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography - high-resolution mass (UHPLC-HRMS) analysis. In general, our results suggest that by combining the advantages of enzymatic activity and nanofibrous structure, the novel platform has the potential to be applied in the bioremediation of varied EDCs or even other pollutants found in water resources.

Abstract
The treatability of synthetic textile wastewater containing model dyes, such as reactive black and direct black dye (25.0 ± 2.6 mgdye/L), with chemical oxygen demand (COD, 1000 ± 113 mg/L), ammonia‑nitrogen (NH3-N, 140 ± 97 mg/L) and sulphate ions (SO₄2-, 1357 ± 10.86 mg/L) was investigated in this study using an innovative living membrane bioreactor (LMBR) using an encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane (ESFDM). The key advantage of ESFDMBR is the self-forming of the biological filtering layer protected between two meshes of inert robust and inexpensive material. A laboratory scale bioreactor (BR) equipped with a filtering unit mounting polyester meshes with a pore size of 30 μm, operated at an influent flux of 30 LMH was thus used. After the formation of the biological living membrane (LM), the treatment significantly reduced COD and DOC concentrations to the average values of 34 ± 10 mg/L and 32 ± 7 mg/L, corresponding to reduction efficiencies of 96.0 ± 1.1 % and 94 ± 1.05 %, respectively. Throughout the LMBR operation, the colours were successfully removed from synthetic textile wastewater with an overall removal efficiency of about 85.0 ± 1.8 and 86.0 ± 1.9 % for direct and reactive dyes, respectively. In addition, the proposed system was also found effective in affording removal efficiency of ammonia (NH3) of 97 ± 0.5 %. Finally, this treatment afforded circa 40.7 ± 5.8 % sulphate removal, with a final concentration value of 805 ± 78.61 mg/L. The innovative living membrane, based on an encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane allows a prolonged containment of the membrane fouling, confirmed by investigating the concentration of membrane fouling precursors and the time-course variations of turbidity and transmembrane pressure (TMP). Those final concentrations of wastewater pollutants were found to be below the limits for admission of the effluents in public sanitation networks in Italy and Tunisia, as representative countries for the regulation in force in Europe and North Africa. In conclusion, due to the low costs of plant and maintenance, the simple applicability, the rapid online implementation, the application of LMBR results in a promising method for the treatment of textile wastewater.

One-Step Synthesis of Al-Doped UiO-66 Nanoparticle for Enhanced Removal of Organic Dyes from Wastewater. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052182.

Abstract
In this study, a series of Al-doped metal-organic frameworks (AlxZr(1-x)-UiO-66) were synthesized through a one-step solvothermal method. Various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N2 sorption measurement, suggested that the Al doping was uniform and barely influenced the crystallinity, chemical stability, and thermal stability of the materials. Two cationic dyes, safranine T (ST) and methylene blue (MB), were selected for investigating the adsorption performances of Al-doped UiO-66 materials. Al0.3Zr0.7-UiO-66 exhibited 9.63 and 5.54 times higher adsorption capacities than UiO-66, 498 mg/g and 251 mg/g for ST and MB, respectively. The improved adsorption performance can be attributed to π-π interaction, hydrogen bond, and the coordination between the dye and Al-doped MOF. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models explained the adsorption process well, which indicated that the dye adsorption on Al0.3Zr0.7-UiO-66 mostly occurred through chemisorption on homogeneous surfaces. A thermodynamic study indicated the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorption capacity did not decrease significantly after four cycles.

Abstract
Most studies on the biodegradation of textile azo dyes use color as parameter for measuring the efficiency of degradation. Although widely employed, spectrophotometric methods are susceptible to the interference of metabolites or degradation products from the biological treatment. We propose a method for determination of a model sulfonated azo dye (Direct Black 22, DB22) in wastewater using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). MS analysis in negative electrospray ionization mode showed DB22 as the most abundant precursor ion, corresponding to [M-3Na + H]2-, which yields two radical anions of m/z 370.1 and m/z 645 after MS/MS fragmentation by collision-induced dissociation (CID). Calibration curve presented adequate linearity and precision in the range of 120-1500 ng mL-1, and recovery and detection limit were appropriate to the typically employed working concentrations. Nevertheless, we observed that standard heating of DB22 under alkaline conditions to simulate the production of wastewater during dye-baths resulted in loss of MS/MS signal, without affecting color. Further analysis showed that DB22 undergoes hydrolysis and does not remain unaltered in solution. Alternative methods of hydrolysis evaluated resulted in no MS/MS signal as well. SPE-LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis evidenced the structural change of DB22 in aqueous solution while the dyeing-capacity was preserved. This technique has also the potential of being tailored to consider the detection of the hydrolyzed fragments of azo dyes in wastewater for appropriate quantification, but it was not the scope of the current step of this research. Color remains as a more reliable parameter for monitoring azo compounds which are unstable in aqueous solution, while a more robust and holistic method needs to be developed for the speciation of the DB22 products of thermal hydrolysis.

Abstract
Biological processes comprising bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae received increasing interest for dye degradation due to their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly nature. Hence, the current study aims to investigate the ability of the photocatalytic performance of N-S co-doped anatase TiO2 (NSTO) nanoparticles immobilized on isolated industrial textile bacteria (ITB) for degradation of basic blue 41 (BB 41). To prove the effect of improving the surface area of NSTO, NSTO also was immobilized on glass balls (NSTO-GB). NSTO nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel methods, and characterization of NSTO and NSTO-GB were measured using SEM, TEM, XPS, and DLS analysis. The results showed that the average size of NSTO was 50-60 nm. Moreover, the morphology and surface microstructure of ITB and ITB-NSTO were determined by the SEM, XPS technique. According to the results, ITB has a rod structure, NSTO nanoparticles are placed on the surface of ITB. However, NSTO was attached to the surface of ITB with the hydroxyl group. The ITB-NSTO indicated a higher BB 41 degradation yield (99%) than pure NSTO (65%) and ITB (74%). The effect of different factors was evaluated on biodegradation by ITB-NSTO. The high biodegradation was obtained in ITB (10 mg), NSTO (50 mg), BB41 (50 ppm), and pH 11. The GC-Mass, LC-Mass, and FT-IR analysis, which monitored the BB 41 degradation efficiency, proved the degradation efficiency by 99%. In the following, the toxicities of BB 41 solution before and after degradation were accessed through the brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) and seed germination assay, which displayed a considerable reduction in BB 41 after degradation. Toxicity results exhibited that ITB-NSTO has potential for industrial application.

Abstract
Multiple stage anaerobic system was found to be an effective strategy for reductive decolorization of azo dyes in the presence of sulfate. Bulk color removal (56-90%) was achieved concomitant with acidogenic activity in the 1st-stage reactor (R1), while organic matter removal (≤100%) and sulfate reduction (≤100%) occurred predominantly in the 2nd-stage reactor (R2). However, azo dye reduction mechanism and metabolic routes involved remain unclear. The involved microbial communities and conditions affecting the azo dye removal in a two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) system were elucidated using amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA, fhs, dsrB and mcrA) and correlation analysis. Reductive decolorization was found to be co-metabolic and mainly associated with hydrogen-producing pathways. We also found evidence of the involvement of an azoreductase from Lactococcus lactis. Bacterial community in R1 was sensitive and shifted in the presence of the azo dye, while microorganisms in R2 were more protected. Higher diversity of syntrophic-acetate oxidizers, sulfate reducers and methanogens in R2 highlights the role of the 2nd-stage in organic matter and sulfate removals, and these communities might be involved in further transformations of the azo dye reduction products. The results improve our understanding on the role of different microbial communities in anaerobic treatment of azo dyes and can help in the design of better solutions for the treatment of textile effluents.

Abstract
Activated biochar is a promising porous carbonaceous adsorbent material for organic pollutant removal, but it remains challenging to obtain high porosity and aromaticity through a simple and low-cost synthetic method. The common adsorption mechanisms of organic dyes on activated biochar should be further investigated in order to guide the synthesis of high-efficiency adsorbent materials. Here, we proposed a high-yield (up to 40 wt %) synthetic method of phosphoric acid-activated biochar from pomelo peel (PPC) with a high specific area of 877.3 m2/g through a facile thermal treatment at a relatively low temperature (250 °C). The specific activation mechanism of H3PO4 in the preparation of the adsorbent was investigated by a range of experiments and characterizations. The kinetic and isotherm experiments are also conducted to evaluate its dye adsorption behavior. According to the adsorption experiment results, PPC exhibits high saturated adsorption capacities for methyl orange (MO, 239.1 mg/g), rhodamine B (RhB, 2821.8 mg/g), methylene blue (MB, 580.5 mg/g), and crystal violate (CV, 396.6 mg/g) according to the Langmuir model. The maximum initial concentration of each dye solution for acquiring 90% removal efficiency is estimated to be 234.55 ppm (MO), 2943.8 ppm (RhB), 633.8 ppm (MB), and 423.6 ppm (CV) at 298 K with an adsorbent dosage of 1 g/L. The characterization results also indicate PPC has a complex synergetic mechanism for ionic dye adsorption behavior. This provides perspectives regarding PPC as a promising biochar adsorbent from biomass waste, which is probably useful for high-efficiency dye removal in water treatment.

Abstract
Treating azo dye wastewater using thermophilic bacteria is considered a more efficient bioremediation strategy. In this study, a thermophilic bacterial strain, Anoxybacillus sp. PDR2, was regarded as the research target. This strain was characterized at different stages of azo dye degradation by using TMT quantitative proteomic and non-targeted metabolome technology. A total of 165 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 439 differentially metabolites (DMs) were detected in comparisons between bacteria with and without azo dye. It was found that Anoxybacillus sp. PDR2 can degrade azo dye Direct Black G (DBG) through extracellular electron transfer with glucose serving as electron donors. Most proteins related to carbohydrate metabolism, including acetoacetate synthase, and malate synthase G, were overexpressed to provide energy. The bacterium can also self-synthesize riboflavin as a redox mediator of in vitro electron transport. These results lay a theoretical basis for industrial bioremediation of azo dye wastewater.

Abstract
Real textile wastewater containing high salinity (up to 12.6 g·kg-1) and surfactant (up to 5.9 mg·L-1 of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate - LAS) was submitted to biological treatment for colour (up to 652 mg Pt-Co·L-1) and sulphate (up to 1,568.6 mg SO4-2·L-1) removal. The influence of ethanol and molasses supplementation was firstly evaluated in anaerobic batch reactors for the removal of dyes and sulphate. Subsequently, aiming to remove aromatic amines (dye degradation by-products), an anaerobic-aerobic continuous system supplemented with molasses was applied. Supplementation had no influence on colour removal (maximum efficiencies around 70%), while it improved sulphate reduction (23% without supplementation against 87% with supplementation), and conferred robustness to the reactors, which recovered quickly after higher salinity impact. The aerobic reactor removed aromatic amines when the level of surfactants was lower than 1.0 mg LAS·L-1, but the performance of the system was hindered when the concentration was increased to 5.9 mg LAS·L-1. Findings suggest that the supplementation of an easily biodegradable organic matter might be a strategy to overcome wastewater fluctuation in composition.

Abstract
Variety of microorganisms have already proven their capabilities for degradation of wide range of wastes with anthropogenic nature. These pollutants, both liquid and solids, also include so called xenobiotics like phenol and its derivatives, PAHs, dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, etc. Xenobiotics as bisphenol A (BPA), chlorhexidine (CHX), octenidine (OCT), other disinfectants and antiseptics have high ecotoxicological impact. Moreover, they can also impair our quality of life and our health interfering different metabolic and hormone receptors pathways in human body. Chemical treatment of such wastes is not a viable option because of its poor socio-economics and environmental merits. Therefore, applying effective, ecofriendly and cheap treatment methods is of great importance. Basidiomycetes are extensively investigated for their abilities to degrade numerous pollutants and xenobiotics. Through their extracellular ligninolytic enzymes they are capable of reducing or completely removing wide range of hazardous compounds. These enzymes can be categorized in two groups: oxidases (laccase) and peroxidases (manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase, versatile peroxidase). Due to the broad substrate specificity of the secreted enzymes Basidiomycetes can be applied as a powerful tool for bioremediation of diverse xenobiotics and recalcitrant compounds.

Abstract
Azo dye is the most versatile class of dyes used in the textile industry. Although the sulfidogenic process shows superiority in the removal of azo dye, the role of biogenic sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the decolorization of azo dye is unclear. This study explored the mechanism of biogenic sulfide for removal of a model azo dye (Direct Red 81 (DR 81)) through biotic and abiotic batch tests with analysis of intermediates of the azo dye degradation. The results showed that biogenic sulfide produced from sulfate reduction directly cleaved two groups of azo bond (-NN-), thereby achieving decolorization. Moreover, the decolorization rate was enhanced by nearly 3-fold (up to 42 ± 1 mg/L-hr; removal efficiency > 99%) by adding an external carbon source or elevating the initial azo dye concentration. This study showed that biogenic sulfide plays an essential role in azo dye decolorization and provides a new avenue for the potential application of biogenic sulfide from the sulfidogenic system for the treatment of azo dye-laden wastewater.

Abstract
As dye demand continues to rapidly increase in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, textile, and leather industries, an industrialization increase is occurring. Meanwhile, the degradation and removal of azo dyes have raised broad concern regarding the hazards posed by these dyes to the ecological environment and human health. Physicochemical treatments have been applied but are hindered by high energy and economic costs, high sludge production, and chemicals handling. Comparatively, the bioremediation technique is an eco-friendly, removal-efficient, and cost-competitive method to resolve the problem. This paper provides scientific and technical information about recent advances in the biodegradation of azo dyes. It expands the biodegradation efficiency, characteristics, and mechanisms of various microorganisms containing bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and microbial consortia, which have been reported to biodegrade azo dyes. In addition, information about physicochemical factors affecting dye biodegradation has been compiled. Furthermore, this paper also sketches the recent development and characteristics of advanced bioreactors.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs)/orange peel (MOP) composite was prepared via one-step in-situ co-precipitation method as magnetic heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst. The properties of MOP were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopes, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technologies. Its Fenton-like catalytic responses towards removal of methyl orange (MO) were investigated, in which the effects of initial dye concentration, pH, temperature and hydrogen peroxide dosage were studied. The MO degradation ratio up to 98.0% was obtained within 20 min in optimized conditions. The catalyst showed excellent catalytic stability exhibiting nearly 90% degradation ratio in the 10th cycle within 20 min, whereas pure Fe3O4-NPs showed only 62.5% in this stage. Due to the stabilization of complexing orange peel hydroxyl to iron oxide in the composite and its magnetic separation property, MOP composite exhibits excellent Fenton-like catalytic performance, which offers great prospects for low-cost and high-efficiency organic dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Three-dimensional hierarchical mesoporous structures of titanium dioxide (3D-HPT) were synthesized by self-assembly emulsion polymerization. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and pluronic 123 (P123) were used as the soft templates and co-templates for assisting the formation of hierarchical 3D porous structures. The TiO2 crystal structure, morphology, and Remazol red dye degradation were investigated. The 3D-HPT and normal three-dimensional titanium dioxide (3D-T) presented the good connection of the nanoparticle-linked honeycomb within the form of anatase. The 3D-HPT structure showed greatly enhanced adsorption of Remazol dye, and facilitated the efficient photocatalytic breakdown of the dye. Surprisingly, 3D-HPT can adsorb approximately 40% of 24 ppm Remazol dye in the dark, which is superior to 3D-T and the commercial anatase at the same condition (approx. 5%). Moreover, 3D-HPT can completely decolorize Remazol dye within just 20 min, which is more than three folds faster than the commercial anatase, making it one of the most active photocatalysts that have been reported for degradation of Remazol dye. The superior photocatalytic performance is attributed to the higher specific surface area, amplified light-harvesting efficiency, and enhanced adsorption capacity into the hierarchical 3D inverse opal structure compared to the commercial anatase TiO2.

Abstract
Chlorophenols (CPs) are highly toxic and refractory contaminants which widely exist in various environments and cause serious harm to human and environment health and safety. This review provides comprehensive information on typical CPs biodegradation technologies, the most green and benign ones for CPs removal. The known aerobic and anaerobic degradative bacteria, functional enzymes, and metabolic pathways of CPs as well as several improving methods and critical parameters affecting the overall degradation efficiency are systematically summarized and clarified. The challenges for CPs mineralization are also discussed, mainly including the dechlorination of polychlorophenols (poly-CPs) under aerobic condition and the ring-cleavage of monochlorophenols (MCPs) under anaerobic condition. The coupling of functional materials and degraders as well as the operation of sequential anaerobic-aerobic bioreactors and bioelectrochemical system (BES) are promising strategies to overcome some current limitations. Future perspective and research gaps in this field are also proposed, including the further understanding of microbial information and the specific role of materials in CPs biodegradation, the potential application of innovative biotechnologies and new operating modes to optimize and maximize the function of the system, and the scale-up of bioreactors towards the efficient biodegradation of CPs.

Abstract
Wastewater discharge is a matter of concern as it is the primary source of water pollution. Consequently, wastewater treatment plays a key role in reducing the negative impact that wastewater discharge produce into the environment. Particularly, the effluents produced by textile industry are composed of high concentration of hazardous compounds such as dyes, as well as having high levels of chemical and biological oxygen demand, suspended solids, variable pH, and high concentration of salt. Main efforts have been focused on the development of methods consuming less water or reusing it, and also on the development of dyes with a better fixation capacity. However, the problem of how to treat these harmful effluents is still pending. Different treatment technologies have been developed, such as coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, advanced oxidation, and biological processes (activated sludge, anaerobic-aerobic treatment, and membrane bioreactor). Concerning to biological treatments, even though they are considered as the most environmentally friendly and economic methods, their industrial application is still uncertain. On the one hand, this is due to the costs of treatment plants installation and, on the other, to the fact that most of the studies are carried out with simulated or diluted effluents that do not represent what really happens in the industries. Integrated treatment technologies by combining the efficiency two or more methodologies used to be more efficient for the decontamination of textile wastewater, than treatments used separately. The elimination of hazardous compounds had been reported using combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes. On this way, as degradation products can sometimes be even more toxic than the parent compounds, effluent toxicity assessment is an essential feature in the development of these alternatives. This article provides a critical view on the state of art of biological treatment, the degree of advancement and the prospects for their application, also discussing the concept of integrated treatment and the importance of including toxicity assays to reach an integral approach to wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Construction of a multipurpose yeast consortium suitable for lipid production, textile dye/effluent removal and lignin valorization is critical for both biorefinery and bioremediation. Therefore, a novel oleaginous consortium, designated as OYC-Y.BC.SH has been developed using three yeast cultures viz. Yarrowia sp. SSA1642, Barnettozyma californica SSA1518 and Sterigmatomyces halophilus SSA1511. The OYC-Y.BC.SH was able to grow on different carbon sources and accumulate lipids, with its highest lipid productivity (1.56 g/L/day) and lipase activity (170.3 U/mL) exhibited in xylose. The total saturated fatty acid content was 36.09 %, while the mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids were 45.44 and 18.30 %, respectively, making OYC-Y.BC.SH valuable for biodiesel production. The OYC-Y.BC.SH showed its highest decolorization efficiency of Red HE3B dye (above 82 %) in presence of sorghum husk as agricultural co-substrate, suggesting its feasibility for simultaneous lignin valorization. The significant higher performance of OYC-Y.BC.SH on decolorizing the real dyeing effluent sample at pH 8.0 suggests its potential and suitability for degrading most of the wastewater textile effluents. Clearly, toxicological studies underline the additional advantage of using OYC-Y.BC.SH for bioremediation of industrial dyeing effluents in terms of decolorization and detoxification. A possible mechanism of Red HE3B biodegradation and ATP synthesis was also proposed.

Modeling and optimization of simultaneous degradation of rhodamine B and acid red 14 binary solution by homogeneous Fenton reaction: a chemometrics approach. Turk J Chem 2021; 44:987-1001. [PMID: 33488207 PMCID: PMC7751912 DOI: 10.3906/kim-2002-59] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to propose a mathematical method to investigate and optimize the simultaneous elimination process of multiple organic pollutants using the Fenton process. Hence, the treatment of rhodamine B (RB) and acid red 14 (AR14) dyes in their binary solution was studied. Multivariate curve resolution alternating least square (MCR-ALS), a novel chemometric method, was applied along with correlation constraints to resolute the UV-Vis spectrophotometric data, enabling quantification of investigated dyes despite a high spectral overlapping. Response surface methodology was adopted to assess the model and optimize individual and interactive effects of three independent factors (Fe2+, H2O2 and initial pH) on the simultaneous elimination of RB and AR14. The values of the regression coefficient for RB and AR14 were determined as 98.48 and 98.67 percent, respectively, revealing the reliability of the obtained polynomial models to predict decolorization efficiencies. Desirability function was employed to optimize the independent variables to attain the highest possible degradation performance for both dyes in their binary solution. At the optimum point of operation ([Fe2+] = 143.88 mg/L, [H2O2] = 126.89 mg/L and pH = 3.71), degradation efficiencies of RB and AR14 were found as 81.58% and 80.22%, respectively, which were nearly identical to the experimental results.

Abstract
This paper explores the decolorization of dye wastewaters and electricity generation using dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with titanium dioxide nanowire (TiO2 NW) photocathodes. TiO2 NW cathodes under ultraviolet light are observed to enhance the reduction of azo dye Active Red 30 (AR 30) and electricity generation. The analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) indicates acceleration of the electron transfer processes of photoelectrode reduction by the photocatalysis of TiO2 NWs, with polarization resistance of the photocathode being 10.45 Ω under light irradiation from 294 Ω in the dark. Ultraviolet-visible light spectroscopy shows that the maximum degradation of the MFCs is 78.1%; the azo bond of AR 30 may be cleaved by photoelectrons generated by light irradiation of the illuminated TiO2 NW photocathode. The electricity produced by microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is expected to enhance the reductive decolorization of the azo dye AR 30 solution.

Ethanol as an efficient cosubstrate for the biodegradation of azo dyes by Providencia rettgeri: Mechanistic analysis based on kinetics, pathways and genomics. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 319:124117. [PMID: 32979594 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2020.124117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Azo dyes pose hazards to ecosystems and human health and the cosubstrate strategy has become the focus for the bioremediation of azo dyes. Herein, Brilliant Crocein (BC), a model pollutant, was biodegraded by Providencia rettgeri domesticated from activated sludge. Additional ethanol, as a cosubstrate, could accelerate P. rettgeri growth and BC biodegradation, as reflected by the Gompertz models. This phenomenon was attributed to the smaller metabolites and greater number of potential pathways observed under the synergistic effect of ethanol. Genomic analysis of P. rettgeri showed that functional genes related to azo bond cleavage, redox reactions, ring opening and hydrolysis played crucial roles in azo dye biodegradation. Furthermore, the mechanism proposed was that ethanol might stimulate the production of additional reducing power via the expression of related genes, leading to the cleavage of azo bonds and aromatic rings. However, biodegradation without ethanol could only partly cleave the azo bonds.

Synthetic dyes biodegradation by fungal ligninolytic enzymes: Process optimization, metabolites evaluation and toxicity assessment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 400:123254.

Abstract
This work aimed to provide information that contributes to establishing environmental-friendly methods for synthetic dyes' degradation. The potential decolorization capacity of the crude enzymatic extract produced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium CDBB 686 using corncob as a substrate was evaluated on seven different dyes. Critical variables affecting the in-vitro decolorization process were further evaluated and results were compared with an in-vivo decolorization system. Decolorization with enzymatic extracts presented advantages over the in-vivo system (higher or similar decolorization within a shorter period). Under improved in-vitro process conditions, the dyes with higher decolorization were: Congo red (41.84 %), Poly R-478 (56.86 %), Methyl green (69.79 %). Attempts were made to confirm the transformation of the dyes after the in-vitro process as well as to establish a molecular basis for interpreting changes in toxicity along with the degradation process. In-vitro degradation products of Methyl green presented a toxicity reduction compared with the original dye; however, increased toxicity was found for Congo red degradation products when compared with the original dyes. Thus, for future applications, it is crucial to evaluate the mechanisms of biodegradation of each target synthetic dye as well as the toxicity of the products obtained after enzymatic oxidation.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 202:110859. [PMID: 32574861 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The effects of quinoid compounds on azo dyes decolorization were studied. Compared with other quinones, menadione was the most effective at aiding azo dye decolorization. Sodium formate was a suitable carbon source for the anaerobic decolorization system. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis indicated that the microbial structure changed in response to varying carbon sources. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the anaerobic sludge was consisted mainly of nine genera. The mechanism studies showed that the biotransformation of menadione to its hydroquinone form was the rate-limiting step in the dye decolorization process. Moreover, study of the electron transfer mechanism of quinone-mediated reduction showed that azo dye decolorization is not a specific reaction. The NADH chain was involved in the decolorization process. The methane production test indicated that azo dyes had an inhibitory effect on methane production. However, supplementation with a redox mediator could recover the inhibited methanogenesis. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the methanogenic archaeal community was altered in the anaerobic sludge with or without azo dyes and the redox mediator.
