Abstract
Microbial reduction of perchlorate (ClO4-) is emerging as a cost-effective strategy for groundwater remediation. However, the effectiveness of perchlorate reduction can be suppressed by the common co-contamination of nitrate (NO3-). We propose a means to overcome the limitation of ClO4- reduction: depositing palladium nanoparticles (Pd0NPs) within the matrix of a hydrogenotrophic biofilm. Two H2-based membrane biofilm reactors (MBfRs) were operated in parallel in long-term continuous and batch modes: one system had only a biofilm (bio-MBfR), while the other incorporated biogenic Pd0NPs in the biofilm matrix (bioPd-MBfR). For long-term co-reduction, bioPd-MBfR had a distinct advantage of oxyanion reduction fluxes, and it particularly alleviated the competitive advantage of NO3- reduction over ClO4- reduction. Batch tests also demonstrated that bioPd-MBfR gave more rapid reduction rates for ClO4- and ClO3- compared to those of bio-MBfR. Both biofilm communities were dominated by bacteria known to be perchlorate and nitrate reducers. Functional-gene abundances reflecting the intracellular electron flow from H2 to NADH to the reductases were supplanted by extracellular electron flow with the addition of Pd0NPs.

Abstract
This study presents a novel method for accelerating the granulation of methanogenic anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS) in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor using solid-phase humin (HM). The results demonstrated that HM-mediated AnGS (HM-AnGS) formed rapidly within 50 days. The increase in particle size, settling velocity and mechanical strength was attributed to the rapid granulation of the HM-AnGS. The maximum methane yield of the HM-AnGS was 5-fold higher than that of the control group. This is consistent with the findings, which showed that HM-AnGS had 3.2-3.4 times more methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) activity and 2.4-2.9 times more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) than control groups. Molecular analyses indicate that HM most likely accelerated interspecies electron transfer (IET) in HM-AnGS (e.g., from Enterococcus to Methanosaeta). Furthermore, the HM-AnGS was effective in recovering energy from actual slaughterhouse wastewater.

Metatranscriptome analysis unveils the mechanisms of zero-valent iron enhancing reactivation of starvation hydrolysis acidification sludge by inducing high-level gene expression. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 899:165696. [PMID: 37482355 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Hydrolysis acidification (HA) is a promising method for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. However, the extended time required for bacterial reactivation after starvation or a change in living conditions often poses a challenge to the efficient operation of the system. Although the addition of zero-valent iron (ZVI) could enhance HA performance, its effects on sludge reactivation in the HA process are not fully understood. In this study, ZVI was employed to accelerate sludge reactivation and its involved genetic mechanisms were unveiled. The results demonstrated that ZVI addition activated the sludge within 35 days with stable HA performance. Sludge characteristics revealed that ZVI improved active biomass, enzyme activity (by 11.4 % ∼ 26.7 %), ETS activity (by 566 %), and cell viability, with a higher concentration of MLVSS, live cells, more microbial byproducts in EPS, and relative abundance of HA bacteria (63.41 %). Moreover, metatranscriptome analysis showed that ZVI upregulated the expression of genes related to key enzymes in carbohydrate degradation metabolism, biosynthesis of electron transfer media such as heme and ubiquinone, and biosynthesis of vital cofactors like vitamin B12 and folate during microbial growth and metabolism. These findings suggest that ZVI enhanced electron transfer, bacterial growth, and metabolism, resulting in effective starch conversion and VFAs generation. Overall, these results deepen our understanding of the mechanism by which ZVI enhanced HA sludge reactivation, providing valuable information for addressing sludge starvation issues in HA systems.

Abstract
The role of Fe(II) on the humic acid (HA) transformation and the effects of humic acid Fe (HA-Fe) on simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox and denitrification (SNAD) system were investigated. After adding Fe(II), the HA content decreased and the HA inhibition on the SNAD system was released. Results showed that Fe(II) and HA formed the lower water-soluble HA-Fe, promoting the HA removal. HA-Fe with stronger electron transfer capacity constituted the interface with microorganisms to forming the biogeobattery effect. This accelerated the microbial electron transfer, as well as improved the key enzymes and ATP, indicating that HA-Fe stimulated the microbial activity of the SNAD system. Microbial community and quorum sensing analysis further demonstrated that HA-Fe enhanced the mutual symbiosis between electroactive and nitrogen removal bacteria, to ensure the stability of the SNAD system. The study provided references for efficient HA removal and revealed the biogeobattery effect of HA-Fe in the SNAD system.

Abstract
The coexistence of multiple pollutants and lack of carbon sources are challenges for the biological treatment of wastewater. To achieve simultaneous removal of nitrate (NO3--N) and cadmium (Cd2+) at low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNQ) was selected from three redox mediators as an accelerator for denitrification of heterotrophic strain Pseudomonas stutzeri sp. GF2 and autotrophic strain Zoogloea sp. FY6. Then, halloysite nanotubes immobilized with 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNTs-HNQ) were prepared and a bioreactor was constructed with immobilized redox mediator granules (IRMG) as the carrier, which was immobilized with HNTs-HNQ and inoculated with the two strains. The immobilized HNQ and the inoculated strains jointly improved the removal ability of NO3--N and Cd2+ and the removal efficiency of NO3--N (25.0 mg L-1) and Cd2+ (5.0 mg L-1) were 92.81% and 93.94% at C/N = 1.5 and hydraulic retention time (HRT) = 4 h. The Cd2+ was removed by adsorption of iron oxides (FeO(OH) and Fe3O4) and IRMG. The electron transport system activity (ETSA) of bacteria was improved and the composition of dissolved organic matter in the effluent was not affected by HNQ. The HNQ promoted the production of FeO(OH) and up-regulated the proportion of Zoogloea (54.75% in the microbial community), indicating that Zoogloea sp. FY6 was dominant in the microbial community. In addition, HNQ influenced the metabolic pathways and improved the relative abundance of some genes involved in nitrogen metabolism and the iron redox cycle.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) is a typical pollutant in sulfate-rich industrial wastewater. This study investigated the Sb removal efficiency in sulfate-rich water by anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS) and the stimulation of amended anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS). Results showed that 89.0% of 5 mg/L Sb(V) was reduced by AnGS within 24 h, along with the observed first accumulation (up to 552.2 μg/L) and then precipitation of Sb(Ш); coexistence of 2 g/L sulfate inhibited the removal of Sb(V) by 71.4% within 24 h, along with gradual accumulation of Sb(Ш) by 3257.4 μg/L, indicating the potential competition of adsorption sites and electron donors between Sb(V) and sulfate. Amendment of 31 mg/L AQS successfully removed the inhibition from sulfate, contributing to 99.5% Sb(V) removal and minimum Sb(Ш) accumulation in Sb(V) + sulfate+AQS group. Further test results suggested that Sb(V) removal by AnGS was mainly through dissimilatory reduction instead of bio-sorption, while Sb(Ш) removal mainly relied on instant bio-sorption by AnGS followed by precipitation in the form of Sb2O3 and Sb2S3. Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) characterization showed that AQS promoted the accumulation of Sb(V) and Sb(Ш) in EPS. High-throughput sequencing analysis showed the enrichment of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in Sb(V) + sulfate group and suppressed SRB growth in Sb(V) + sulfate+AQS group.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 828:154531.

Abstract
Anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS) was cultured to treat high-strength perchlorate (reaching to 4800 mg/L) wastewater by an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) system with five equal-volume compartments (C1-C5 compartments). Inoculated sludge completely granulated on day 104 with granule size of 0.50-0.75 mm and perchlorate removal efficiency reaching to 97% (influent perchlorate of 2000-4800 mg/L). The Cyclic voltammetry (CV) capacitance increased from 487.5, 465.8 and 407.8 μF to 576.5, 552.4, 549.6 μF in C1, C3 and C5 compartments of ABR system, respectively, suggesting the electron transfer capacity was enhanced under high-strength perchlorate stress. Meanwhile, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) value and electron transport system activity (ETSA) increased to 25.05, 22.87, 20.43 and 6.22, 4.87, 3.95 of C1, C3 and C5 compartments, respectively. The results suggested that high-strength perchlorate stress improved the microbial metabolic activity, which promoted secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The more EPS could facilitate the formation and stability of AnGS under high-strength perchlorate stress. In addition, more reasonable metabolic division of labor in functional bacterial (Thauera and Comamonas) was beneficial to AnGS formation, which achieved high-strength perchlorate efficient removal. Finally, a positive feedback mechanism between AnGS formation and high-strength perchlorate removal was established through EPS, microbial metabolic activity and electron transfer characteristic in ABR system. However, excessive perchlorate (5800 mg/L) would exceed the treatment capacity of AnGS, which resulted in the deterioration of removal performance. This work provided an effective information for AnGS application to treat high-strength perchlorate wastewater.

Abstract
Printing and dyeing wastewater is characterized with complex water quality and poor biodegradability. In this study, a pilot-scale anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) with packing was verified to effectively degrade the complex organic pollutants in the wastewater through the hydrolysis and acidification of anaerobic microorganisms. At a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 h and an organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.0–2.5 kg COD/(m3·d), the ABR stabilized the fluctuation range of pH and achieved an average colority removal rate of 10.5%, which provided favorable conditions for subsequent aerobic treatment. During the early operation period, the reactor increased the alkalinity of the wastewater; after 97 days of operation, the volatile fatty acid (VFA) content in the wastewater decreased. To demonstrate the suitability of the support vector regression (SVR) technology in predicting the performance of the reactor, two SVR algorithms with three kernel functions were employed to relate the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate to its influencing factors, and the predictions of both the training and validation groups agreed with the measurements. The results obtained from this study can contribute to the design and optimal operation of the anaerobic treatment project of the industrial wastewater treatment plant.
