Abstract
The tailwater from wastewater treatment plants serves as an important water resource in arid regions, alleviating the conflict between supply and demand. However, the effects of different tailwater discharge proportions on microbial community dynamics remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of different tailwater discharge proportions on the water quality and microbial community characteristics of sediments in receiving water bodies under controlled conditions (WF-1, WF-2, WF-3, WF-4, and WF-5, containing 0% tailwater + 100% natural water, 25% tailwater + 75% natural water, 50% tailwater + 50% natural water, 75% tailwater + 25% natural water, and 100% tailwater + 0% natural water, respectively). Microbial co-occurrence networks and structural equation model were used to unveil the relationship between microbial communities and their shaping factors. Results showed that distinct microbial community compositions were found in the sediments with low- (< 50%) and high- (> 50%) proportions of tailwater. Specifically, WCHB1-41 and g_4-29-1, which are involved in organic degradation-related functions, were the key genera in the high-proportion cluster. A total of 21 taxa were more abundant in the low-proportion (< 50%) cluster than that in high-proportion (> 50%). Moreover, higher modularity was observed in the low-proportion. Total phosphorus directly affected while ammonia nitrogen indirectly affected the microbial community structure. Our findings support the distinct heterogeneity of microbial communities driven by tailwater discharge in receiving water bodies, and further confirmed that high-proportion tailwater depletes sensitive microbial communities, which may be avoided through scientific management.

Abstract
The prevalence of hypoxia in surface sediment inhibits the growth of aerobic denitrifiers in natural waters. A novel oxygen micro/nanobubble-loaded microporous biochar (OMB) was developed to activate indigenous aerobic denitrifiers in this study. The results indicate a thin-layer OMB capping mitigates hypoxia effectively. Following a 30-day microcosm-based incubation, a 60 % decrease in total nitrogen concentration was observed, and the oxygen penetration depth in the sediment was increased from <4.0 mm to 38.4 mm. High-throughput sequencing revealed the stimulation of indigenous mixotrophic aerobic denitrifiers, including autotrophic denitrifiers such as Hydrogenophaga and Thiobacillus, heterotrophic denitrifiers like Limnobacter and unclassified_f_Methylophilaceae, and heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification bacteria, including Shinella and Acidovorax, with total relative abundance reaching up to 38.1 %. Further analysis showed OMB enhanced the overall collaborative relationships among microorganisms and promoted the expression of nitrification- and denitrification-related genes. This study introduces an innovative strategy for stimulating indigenous aerobic denitrifiers in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Nanobubbles of gas remain dissolved in water for longer periods than ordinary bubbles, and exhibit unique physicochemical and biological properties. As a result, nanobubble water (NBW) is finding widespread use many applications, such as cleaning in the industry and purification of lake water. The ozone NBW (O3-NBW), in particular, has been used in clinical dentistry; however, it has several disadvantages, including the instability of ozone, which is spontaneously converted to molecular oxygen (O3 to O2), and its broad range of antibacterial activity, which can disrupt the oral microbiota. Therefore, the use of NBW in dental medicine requires greater evaluation. Here, we examined the effects of oxygen and hypochlorite NBW (O2-NBW and HOCl-NBW, respectively) on the microbiota in human saliva in 16 male patients (35-75 years old; median: 53.5 years) using multiple assays, including next generation sequencing analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed no significant changes in both alpha-diversity and beta-diversity. Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) revealed two subclusters in both unweighted and weighted UniFrac distances. Overall, the results revealed that HOCl-NBW exposure of saliva may lead to inhibition or delay in oral biofilm formation while maintaining the balance of the oral microbiome. These results can lead to the development of a novel type of mouthrinse for prevention of oral infectious diseases.

Application fruit tree hole storage brick fertilizer is beneficial to increase the nitrogen utilization of grape under subsurface drip irrigation. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1259516.

Abstract
It is very important to promote plant growth and decrease the nitrogen leaching in soil, to improve nitrogen (N) utilization efficiency. In this experiment, we designed a new fertilization strategy, fruit tree hole storage brick (FTHSB) application under subsurface drip irrigation, to characterise the effects of FTHSB addition on N absorption and utilization in grapes. Three treatments were set in this study, including subsurface drip irrigation (CK) control, fruit tree hole storage brick A (T1) treatment, and fruit tree hole storage brick B (T2) treatment. Results showed that the pore number and size of FTHSB A were significantly higher than FTHSB B. Compared with CK, T1 and T2 treatments significantly increased the biomass of different organs of grape, N utilization and 15N content in the roots, stems and leaves, along with more prominent promotion at T1 treatment. When the soil depth was 15-30 cm, the FTHSB application significantly increased the soil 15N content. But when the soil depth was 30-45 cm, it reduced the soil 15N content greatly. T1 and T2 treatments obviously increased the activities of nitrite reductase (NR) and glutamine synthetase (GS) in grape leaves, also the urease activity(UR) in 30 cm of soil. Our findings suggest that FTHSB promoted plant N utilization by reducing N loss in soil and increasing the enzyme activity related to nitrogen metabolism. In addition, this study showed that FTHSB A application was more effective than FTHSB B in improving nitrogen utilization in grapes.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 341:118109. [PMID: 37172347 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this work was to explore the influence of combined aging treatment using Na+, Ca2+, Cl-, HCO3- and SO42- on the adsorption of phosphate (HiPO4i-3) onto and the restraint of internal phosphorus (P) migration into overlying water (OW) by lanthanum modified bentonite (LMB). To achieve this aim, the adsorption characteristics and mechanisms of HiPO4i-3 onto the raw and aged LMBs (named as R-LMB and A-LMB, respectively) were comparatively studied, and the effects of R-LMB and A-LMB treatments (addition and capping) on the migration of P from sediment to OW were comparatively investigated. The results showed that the combined aging treatment of R-LMB with Na+, Ca2+, Cl-, HCO3- and SO42- inhibited the adsorption of HiPO4i-3. Similar to R-LMB, the precipitation of HiPO4i-3 with La3+ to form LaPO4 and the ligand exchange between CO32- and HiPO4i-3 to form the inner-sphere lanthanum-phosphate complexes are the important mechanisms for the HiPO4i-3 uptake by A-LMB. The R-LMB addition and capping can be effective in the suppression of endogenous P release to OW under hypoxia conditions. The inactivation of diffusive gradient in thin film-unstable P (DGT-UP) and potentially mobile P (PM-P) in sediment acted as a key role in the restraint of internal P release to OW by the R-LMB addition, and the immobilization of DGT-UP and PM-P in the topmost sediment played a key role in the interception of endogenous P migration into OW by the R-LMB capping. Although the Na+/Ca2+/Cl-/HCO3-/SO42- combined aging treatment had a certain negative effect on the efficiencies of LMB addition and capping to hinder the liberation of P from sediment into OW, the A-LMB addition and capping still can be effective in the control of sediment internal phosphorus pollution to a certain degree. The results of this work indicate that LMB has a high potential to be used as a capping/amendment material to control internal phosphorus pollution.

Abstract
Attapulgite co-modified by lanthanum-iron (MT-LHMT) was used to study its effectiveness and mechanism in controlling phosphorus release from sediments. MT-LHMT has high adsorption capacity for phosphate and the maximum adsorption capacity of MT-LHMT to phosphate can reach 75.79 mg/g. The mechanism mainly involved electrostatic action, surface precipitation and ligand exchange between MT-LHMT bonded hydroxyl and phosphate to form La-O-P and Fe-O-P inner-sphere complexes. MT-LHMT has excellent adsorption performance in the pH range of 3-8. In addition to HCO3-, CO32- and HA- had a negative effect on the phosphorus removal of MT-LHMT, while NO3-, Cl-, SO42-, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ had a positive or no effect on phosphorus removal. MT-LHMT significantly reduced the risk of phosphorus release from overlying water in different dose effects and covering methods, as well as the unstable inactivation of flowing phosphorus, sediment dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and available phosphorus with medium diffusion gradient in thin film in the sediment-water interface (Labile-PDGT). The MT-LHMT capping wrapped with fabric can reduce the risk of nitrogen release from sediment to overlying water more than only MT-LHMT capping. The results of this study showed that the MT-LHMT capping wrapped with fabric has high potential and can be used as an active capping material to manage the nitrogen and phosphorus load in surface water.

Abstract
Nutrients and heavy metals (HM) in the sediment have an impact on microbial diversity and community structure. In this study, the distribution characteristics of nutrients, HM, and microbial community in the sediments along the Longsha River, a tributary of the Pearl River (or Zhu Jiang), China were investigated by analyzing samples from 11 sites. On the basis of the HM-contamination level, the 11 sampling sites were divided into three groups to explore the changes in microbial communities at different ecological risk levels. Results indicated that nutrient concentrations were higher near farmlands and residential lands, while the ecological risk of HM at the 11 sampling sites was from high to low as S10 > S2 > S9 > S6 > S11 > S7 > S5 > S8 > S3 > S4 > S1. Among these HM, Cu, Cr, and Ni had intense ecological risks. In addition, the results of Variance Partitioning Analysis (VPA) revealed a higher contribution of HM (35.93%) to microbial community variation than nutrients (12.08%) and pH (4.08%). Furthermore, the HM-tolerant microbial taxa (Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Romboutsia, norank_o__Gaiellales, and etc.) were the dominant genera, and they were more dynamic around industrial lands, while microbes involved in the C, N, and S cycles (e.g., Smithella, Thiobacillus, Dechloromonas, Bacter oidetes_vadinHA17, and Syntrophorhabdus) were inhibited by HM, while their abundance was lower near industrial lands and highway but higher around residential lands. A three-unit monitoring program of land-use types, pollutants, and microbial communities was proposed. These results provide a new perspective on the control of riparian land-use types based on contaminants and microbes, and different microbial community response patterns may provide a reference for contaminant control in sediments with intensive industrial activities.

Effect of sediment burial depth on the control of sedimentary phosphorus release by iron/aluminum co-modified calcite and strategy for overcoming the negative effect of sediment burial.

Abstract
After placing an active capping material on surface sediments, the capping layer will be buried by the newly formed sediment. In this research, the influence of sediment burial depth on the performance of iron/aluminum co-modified calcite (FeAlCAL) to suppress sedimentary phosphorus (P) release into overlaying water (OL-water) was studied. Furthermore, in order to find out the strategy for overcoming the negative effect of sediment burial, the efficiencies and mechanisms of three different FeAlCAL treatments (one-time FeAlCAL capping with 3 cm sediment burial, multiple FeAlCAL capping with 1 cm sediment burial, and amendment of top 3 cm sediment with FeAlCAL) in the inhibition of sediment P release were contrastively studied. The results showed that with the increase of sediment burial depth, the efficiency of FeAlCAL to block the release of sediment P into OL-water gradually decreased until the FeAlCAL lost the ability to hinder sediment-P release. In contrast to the one-time FeAlCAL capping in the presence of 3 cm sediment burial, the multiple FeAlCAL capping in the presence of 1 cm sediment burial and amendment of top 3 cm sediment with FeAlCAL both effectively prevented the release of P from sediment into OL-water. All results of this work suggest that although sediment burial can negatively affect the ability of FeAlCAL in the inhibition of sediment P release into OL-water and the negative effect becomes stronger as the sediment burial depth increases, the transformation of the application mode of FeAlCAL from one-time capping to multiple capping or from capping to amendment can overcome the negative influence of sediment burial.

Abstract
The oxygen level is key benthic ecosystem health. In this study, a new kind of slow-release oxygen material (SROM) was developed and evaluated in a simulation experiment. The effects of SROM dose and dosing method on the pH and DO, the release of nitrogen and phosphorus, and greenhouse gas emissions were studied. The restoration of typical benthic species (Ceratophyllum represented submerged plants and Cipangopaludina cahayensis represented benthic animals) was also evaluated based on the analysis of catalase and peroxidase activities, survival rate, and biomass. The result shows that dosing SROM on mud surfaces had a better effect than dosing in mud. When dosing SROM on the surface of mud at a suitable dose, the DO of water increased from 0.5 mg/L to higher than 4 mg/L, and the pH was below 9, which would be suitable for the survival of benthos. Dosing SROM could also cause the concentrations of nutrient elements (NH4+-N, TN, TP, and PO43-) in overlying water and the emission flux of CH4 and CO2 to decrease. In addition, the growth of Ceratophyllum and Cipangopaludina cahayensis was accelerated, which benefited the restoration of benthic ecosystems. For microbial community structure, various of bacteria for nitrogen and the phosphorus cycle were found in the sediment (including aerobic denitrifying bacteria). Dosing SROM could increase the Simpson index of the bacterial community, means an increase in bacterial diversity. The results show that the dosing of SROM could be an effective method in the early stage of benthic habitat restoration.

Oxygen Nanobubbles for Lake Restoration—Where Are We at? A Review of a New-Generation Approach to Managing Lake Eutrophication. WATER 2022.

Abstract
Nutrient enrichment of lakes from anthropogenic activities is a significant and increasing issue globally, impairing the health, biodiversity and service provisioning from lakes, with impacts on cultural, recreational, economic and aesthetic values. Internal nutrient loads from lakebed sediment releases are a primary cause of lake eutrophication and have necessitated geoengineering methods to mitigate releases and speed up recovery from eutrophication. Our objective in this review was to evaluate the use of oxygen nanobubbles as a geoengineering technology to remediate low oxygen conditions at the lake sediment/water interface, as a precursor to alleviating eutrophication linked to high internal nutrient loads. Oxygen nanobubbles (NBs) are bubbles < 1000 nm formed at the interface of solid surfaces and aqueous solutions. These bubbles have higher density than water, persist for longer and facilitate greater oxygen solubility than larger bubbles. Methods have been developed to enable NB formation at the surface of carrier materials, which are then used in conjunction with modified local soils (MLSs), to ‘floc, lock and oxygenate’ to strip nutrients from the water column, locking them in lakebed sediments and oxygenating the sediments to prevent re-release of nutrients. Most studies of NBs for lake restoration have thus far only demonstrated their potential for this purpose, using short-term, small-scale core incubations conducted mainly in laboratory settings. Work is required to (1) address scalability, including procurement and cost, (2) extend laboratory incubation studies to large outdoor enclosures and pond/lake trials, (3) examine longevity of the effects in the natural environment, including potential for MLSs to smother benthos and/or have toxic effects, and (4) extend to a range of lake environments and MLS types. Legal, cultural and social acceptance of the technology is another prerequisite of applications in the natural environment and requires individualised analysis. Until these issues are addressed in a systematic way that addresses scalability and recommends suitable carrier materials and MLSs, NBs may continue to remain largely untried as a geoengineering method to address lake eutrophication.

Abstract
Increasing inappropriate anthropogenic activities and industrialization have resulted in severe environmental pollution worldwide. Their effective treatment is vital for general health concerns. Depending on the characteristics of pollutants, the severity of pollution may differ. For sustainable treatment of polluted environments, bioremediation is accepted as the most efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly method hence largely preferred. However, every bioremediation technique has its own unique advantages and limitations due to its defined applications criteria. In bioremediation, microorganisms play a decisive role in detoxification by degrading, mineralizing and accumulating various forms of harmful and biodegradable pollutants from the surroundings and transforming them into less lethal forms. Bioremediation is performed ex-situ or in-situ, based on location of polluted site as well as characteristics, type and strength of the pollutants. Furthermore, the most popular methodologies for bioremediation include bioaugmentation, biostimulation, bioattenuation among others which depend on the prevailing environmental factors into the microbial system. Implementing them appropriately and effectively under ex-situ or in-situ method is extremely important not only for obtaining efficient treatment but also for the best economic, environmental, and social impacts. Therefore, this review aims to analyze various bioremediation methods for organic pollutants remediation from soil/sediments and wastewater, their strength, limitation, and insights for the selection of appropriate bioremediation techniques based on nature, types, degree, and location of the pollution. The novelty aspect of the article is to give updates on several key supporting technologies which have recently emerged and exhibited great potential to enhance the present bioremediation efficiency such as nanobubble, engineered biochar, mixotrophic microalgae, nanotechnology etc. Moreover, amalgamation of these technologies with existing bioremediation facilities are significantly changing the scenario and scope of environmental remediation towards sustainable bioremediation.

Abstract
In order to realize the active and synchronous control of nitrogen (N) and organic matter (OM) release from sediments, this study compared the spatiotemporal changes in the physical, chemical, and biological indicators in the water system under different CaO2 dosing modes. Results from 90-day incubation experiment showed that CaO2 formed a dense barrier layer near its dosing position, improved the anoxic condition of water system, increased the physical adsorption of pollutants by sediments, and reduced the nutrients in overlying water, interstitial water, and sediments. Comprehensive comparison, the improvement effect of shallow injection group (I1) was the most obvious. Meanwhile, the activities of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria near dosing position and those of denitrifiers and anammox bacteria adjacent to dosing site were significantly increased in all test groups (p < 0.01), thereby realizing the biological removal of N and OM in sediments. In addition, DO and ORP were steadily higher than 5 mg L-1 and 100 mV in I1, where the NH4+-N concentration in overlying water was stable below 1 mg L-1, and the easily released N content in the upper (0-3 cm) and middle (4-6 cm) sediments decreased by 41.64% and 43.56%, respectively. Compared with the large pollutant flux in control (14.31 TN mg m-2 d-1 and 194.05 mg TCOD m-2 d-1), I1 completely inhibited the pollutant release and reduced the original nutrients in overlying water. In general, CaO2 efficiently and synchronously controlled the endogenous release of N and OM under the combined actions of physical interception, physical adsorption, chemical oxidation, and biological transformation. Therefore, this study may provide valuable reference and guidance for the active and synchronous removal of N and OM in sediments and inhibition of endogenous pollutant release under anoxic condition.

Abstract
The effectiveness and mechanism of aluminum/iron co-modified calcite (Al/Fe-CA) for the control of phosphorus (P) liberation from sediments was investigated. The results showed that Al/Fe-CA possessed good sorption performance for phosphate, and the maximum phosphate sorption capacity for Al/Fe-CA could reach 27.0 mg/g. The major mechanisms involved the surface adsorption of phosphate on calcite, the precipitation between phosphate and Ca2+ leached from calcite, and the ligand exchange between Al/Fe-bound hydroxyl groups and phosphate to form the Al-O-P and Fe-O-P inner-sphere complexes. The re-releasing risk of Al/Fe-CA-bound P under the circumstances of normal pH (5-9) and reducing environment was very low. Al/Fe-CA addition could significantly reduce the risk of P releasing from sediment to overlying water (OL-water), and the inactivation of mobile P, reactive soluble P (SRP) and diffusive gradient in thin-films (DGT)-labile P in sediment by Al/Fe-CA had a great part in the suppression of sediment-P liberation to OL-water by the Al/Fe-CA amendment. Al/Fe-CA capping and fabric-wrapped Al/Fe-CA capping both could greatly reduce the risk of P releasing from sediment into OL-water, and the formation of a static layer with low concentrations of SRP and DGT-labile P in the upper sediment was the key to sustaining a high P controlling efficiency. When the applied mode of Al/Fe-CA varied from capping to amendment, although the inactivation efficiency of DGT-labile P in the overlying water and upper sediment by Al/Fe-CA would decrease to a certain degree, the inactivation efficiency of DGT-labile P in the lower sediment by Al/Fe-CA would increase. Results of this study suggest that Al/Fe-CA has the high potential to be used as an active capping or amendment material for the management of internal P loading in surface water bodies.

[PMID: 32711316 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Intensive aquaculture significantly affects the global phosphorus (P) cycle and enhances eutrophication in inland waters. Sediment dredging efficiently removes P-rich sediments from shallow-water eutrophic lakes. However, studies on the effects of sediment dredging on the internal P loading of aquacultural lakes are still lacking. Moreover, the migration and transformation processes of labile P and the mechanisms of sediment P release are unclear. To evaluate dredging effectiveness, we employed two in situ high-resolution sampling techniques to simultaneously measure sediment labile P and porewater soluble reactive P (SRP) and Fe (II) at the millimeter scale. Dredging effectively reduced surface sediment CaP contents and organic matter (OM) below the sediment-water interface (SWI). Moreover, dredging decreased the SRP diffusion flux across the SWI in summer. After dredging, FeP (P bound to Fe, Al, and Mn oxides and hydroxides) and OP (organic P) contents increased by 136% and 48% in the newly formed deposited layer (140 mm thick), respectively. The increased bioavailable P content significantly enhanced the capability of sediment solids to resupply labile P to porewater SRP. The stronger positive correlation between porewater soluble Fe (II) and SRP suggests that Fe redox cycling regulated internal P release. Our results suggest that dredging effectiveness will weaken over time due to the re-deposition of active P, which in turn increases the risk of sediment P release. To curb the release of sediment P, we recommend the implementation of additional in situ restoration techniques that improve the oxide layer of surface sediments and reduce sediment suspension.

Abstract
Inhibiting reductive transformation of arsenic (As) in flooded paddy soils is fundamentally important for mitigating As transfer into the food chain. In this study, oxygen-nanobubble-loaded-zeolites (ZON) and -vermiculites (VON) were tested as a novel approach for supplying oxygen to paddy soils to inhibit As influx into rice. The dynamic physio- and bio-chemical variations in the rhizosphere and bulk soil were profiled in a rhizobox experiment. Upon adding ZON and VON, the redox potential and dissolved oxygen consistently increased throughout the cultivation period. The improved redox environment inhibited As(III) release into porewater and increased As(V) adsorbed on crystalline Fe (hydr)oxides, following the reduction of arsC and arrA gene abundances and enhancement of the aioA gene. Moreover, adding ZON and VON promoted root iron plaque formation, which increased As retention on iron plaque. Both ZON and VON treatments mitigated As translocation from soil to rice, meanwhile increasing root and shoot biomass. ZON was superior to VON in repressing As transfer and promoting rice growth due to its higher oxygen loading capacity. This study provides a novel and environment-friendly material to both mitigate the As translocation from paddy soil to rice and improve rice growth.
