Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion using an anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) can separate the sludge retention time and hydraulic retention time, retaining the biomass for efficient degradation and the use of less expensive large pore-size membrane materials and more sustainable dynamic membranes (DMs). Therefore, anaerobic co-digestion of toilet blackwater (BW) and kitchen waste (KW) using an AnDMBR was hypothesized to increase the potential for co-digestion. Here, the efficiency and stability of AnDMBR in anaerobic co-digestion of toilet BW and KW were investigated. DM morphology and structural characteristics, filtration properties, and composition, as well as membrane contamination and membrane regeneration mechanisms, were investigated. Average daily biogas yields of the reactor in two membrane cycles before and after cleaning were 788.67 and 746.09 ml/g volatile solids, with average methane content of 66.64% and 67.27% and average COD removal efficiencies of 82.03% and 80.96%, respectively. The results showed that the bioreactor obtained good performance and stability. During the stabilization phase of the DM operation, the flux was maintained between 43.65 and 65.15 L/m2/h. DM was mainly composed of organic and inorganic elements. Off-line cleaning facilitated DM regulation and regeneration, restoring new Anaerobic morphology and structure. PRACTITIONER POINTS: High efficiency co-digestion of BW and KW was realized in the DMBR system. Average daily biogas yields before and after membrane cleaning were 788.67 and 746.09 ml/g volatile solids. Off-line cleaning facilitated DM regulation and regeneration as well as system stability. The flux was maintained between 43.65 and 65.15 L/m2/h during operation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 871:161963. [PMID: 36737022 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161963] [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: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
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.

Abstract
The presence of dyes in aquatic environments can have harmful effects on aquatic life, including inhibiting photosynthesis, decreasing dissolved oxygen levels, and altering the behavior and reproductive patterns of aquatic organisms. In the initial phase of this review study, our aim was to examine the categories and properties of dyes as well as the impact of their toxicity on aquatic environments. Azo, phthalocyanine, and xanthene are among the most frequently utilized dyes, almost 70–80% of used dyes, in industrial processes and have been identified as some of the most commonly occurring dyes in water bodies. Apart from that, the toxicity effects of dyes on aquatic ecosystems were discussed. Toxicity testing relies heavily on two key measures: the LC50 (half-lethal concentration) and EC50 (half-maximal effective concentration). In a recent study, microalgae exposed to Congo Red displayed a minimum EC50 of 4.8 mg/L, while fish exposed to Disperse Yellow 7 exhibited a minimum LC50 of 0.01 mg/L. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are a promising method for removing dyes from water bodies. In the second stage of the study, the effectiveness of different AnMBRs in removing dyes was evaluated. Hybrid AnMBRs and AnMBRs with innovative designs have shown the capacity to eliminate dyes completely, reaching up to 100%. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were found to be the dominant bacterial phyla in AnMBRs applied for dye treatment. However, fouling has been identified as a significant drawback of AnMBRs, and innovative designs and techniques are required to address this issue in the future.

Abstract
Identification of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and denitrification in the dynamic cake layer of a full-scale anoixc dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) for treating hotel laundry wastewater was studied. A series of experiments were conducted to understand the contributions of DNRA and canonical denitrification activities in the dynamic cake layer of the AnDMBR. The dynamic cake layer developed included two phases - a steady transmembrane pressure (TMP) increase at 0.24 kPa/day followed by a sharp TMP jump at 1.26 kPa/day four to five days after the AnDMBR start-up. The nitrogen mass balance results showed that canonical denitrification was predominant during the development of the dynamic cake layer. However, DNRA activity and accumulation of bacteria equipped with a complete DNRA pathway showed a positive correlation to the development of the dynamic cake layer. Our metagenomic analysis identified an approximately 18% of the dynamic cake layer bacterial community has a complete DNRA pathway. Pannonibacter (1%), Thauera (0.8%) and Pseudomonas (3%) contained all genes encoding for funcional enzymes of both DNRA (nitrate reductase and DNRA nitrite reductase) and denitrification (nitrate reductase, nitrous oxide reductase and nitric oxide reductase). No other metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) possessed a complete cononical denitrification pathway, indicating food-chain-like interactions of denitrifiers in the dynamic cake layer. We found that COD loading rate could be used to control DNRA and canonical denitrification activities during the dynamic cake layer formation.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical pollution has pervaded many water resources all over the globe. The propagation of this health threat drew the researchers' concern in seeking an efficient solution. This study introduced toilet paper waste as a precursor for carbon nanoparticles (CRNPs). The TEM results showed a particle size range of 30.2 nm to 48.1 nm, the BET surface area was 283 m2 g-1, and the XRD pattern indicated cubical-graphite crystals. The synthesized CRNPs were tested for removing tigecycline (TGCN), chlortetracycline (CTCN), oxytetracycline (OTCN), and doxycycline (DXCN) via the batch process. The adsorption equilibrium time for TGCN, DXCN, CTCN, and OTCN was 60 min, and the concentration influence revealed an adsorption capacity of 172.5, 200.1, 202.4, and 200.0 mg g-1, respectively. The sorption of the four drugs followed the PSFO, and the LFDM models indicated their high sorption affinity to the CRNPs. The adsorption of the four drugs fitted the multilayer FIM that supported the high-affinity claim. The removals of the four drugs were exothermic and spontaneous physisorption. The fabricated CRNPs possessed an excellent remediation efficiency for contaminated SW and GW; therefore, CRNPs are suggested for water remediation as low-cost sorbent.

Abstract
Globally, the continuous contamination of natural water resources is a severe issue, and looking for a solution for such a massive problem should be the researcher’s concern. Herein, Al2O3, Al2O3-CuO, Al2O3-NiO, and Al2O3-CoO were prepared via a simple and fast route, utilizing glucose as a capping material. All synthesis conditions were uniform to make the fabricated nanomaterials’ characteristics exclusively influenced by only the ion type. The SEM analysis showed that the particles of the synthesized Al2O3, Al2O3-CuO, Al2O3-NiO, and Al2O3-CoO were all less than 25 nm. The Al2O3-NiO showed the smallest particle size (11 to 14 nm) and the best BET surface area of 125.6 m2 g−1. All sorbents were tested for removing organic pollutants, as exemplified by indigo carmine (IGC) dye. The Al2O3-NiO possessed the highest adsorption capacity among the other sorbents for which it had been selected for further investigations. The IGC sorption reached equilibrium within 2.0 h, and the kinetic study revealed that the IGC removal by Al2O3-NiO nanocomposite fitted the FOM and the LFM. The sorbent showed an experimental adsorption capacity (qt) of 456.3 mg g−1 from a 200 mg L−1 IGC solution and followed the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic findings indicated an endothermic, spontaneous, and physisorption nature. The seawater and groundwater samples contaminated with 5.0 mg L−1 IGC concentrations were fully remediated using the Al2O3-NiO nanocomposite. The reuse study showed 93.3% average efficiency during four successive cycles. Consequently, prepared Al2O3-NiO nanocomposite is recommended for the treatment of contaminated water.

Abstract
Dynamic membranes (DMs) keep on attracting attention progressively as an alternative to conventional membranes because they can be operated with relatively higher fluxes and lower fouling rates. However, there are many factors affecting the performance of DMs, such as DM pore size, structure, and operating conditions. In this study, mainly focused on the investigation of cake formation rates both in initial formation and reformation rates after physical/chemical cleaning. In this context, it has been evaluated the performances of DMs with different pore sizes (171 μm, 90 μm, and 30 μm) and different structures under the same conditions and compared their performances with microfiltration (MF) membranes (0.45 μm and 0.22 μm) in a single reactor. In the study, the effects of different fluxes (15-, 20-, 25 L/m2·h (LMH), SADm (1-, 0.8-, 0.5 m3-air /m2·h) and F/M (0.095, 0.125, 0.19 g-COD/g-MLSS·day) conditions on the treatment and filtration performance of DMs were investigated. High COD (>95%) and turbidity (<10 NTU) removals were obtained in this study. In particular, the 30 μm DM (0.65 ± 0.47 NTU) produced quite close effluent turbidity compared to MFs (0.12 ± 0.05 NTU). Low SADm and high F/M values resulted in increased effluent COD concentrations and turbidity values. By decreasing the SADm, the cake formation rate and the fouling rate increased, which showed that there is a definite relationship between the cake formation rates and the fouling rates. Additionally, considering all the results, the most stable operation was obtained in the 30 μm DM, although it has been occurred the least fouling in the 90 μm membrane in the study. This study, focused on cake reformation rates, attempts to show that DMs can be used as an alternative to MBRs. Especially, when taking into account the results of the reformation rate of 30 μm DM (6.09 NTU/h) and other high filterability features.

Abstract
Continuous waste discharge into natural water resources in many countries is a severe global issue, and seeking an effective solution is a researcher’s concern. Herein, toilet paper waste was a low-cost precursor for preparing carbon nanoparticles (TPCNPs). The characterization of TPCNPs revealed a 30 nm to 50 nm particle size, a 264 m2 g−1 surface area, and a cubical graphite lattice XRD pattern. The TPCNPs were tested for removing malachite green (MG), indigo carmine (IC), rhodamine B (RB), and methylene blue (MB) dyes from water. The solution parameters were examined for the sorption process, and a pH of 5.0 suited the MB removal, while a pH of 6.0 was suitable for MG, IC, and RB. The effect of concentration investigation showed an adsorption capacity of 110.9, 64.8, 73.5, and 98 mg g−1 for MG, IC, RB, and MB, respectively. The sorption of the four dyes fitted the Langmuir isotherm model; it was exothermic and spontaneous. The water remediation was tested using groundwater and seawater samples (GW and SW) spiked with pollutants. It is worth mentioning that one treatment sufficed for the remediation of GW and SW contaminated by 5 mg L−1 concentration, while a double treatment was required for 10 mg L−1 pollution in both samples.

A Novel Anaerobic Gravity-Driven Dynamic Membrane Bioreactor (AnGDMBR): Performance and Fouling Characterization. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12070683.

Abstract
Despite numerous studies undertaken to define the development and significance of the dynamic membrane (DM) formed on some coarse materials, the optimization of reactor configuration and the control of the membrane fouling of anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) need to be further investigated. The aim of this study was to design a novel anaerobic gravity-driven dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnGDMBR) for the effective and low-cost treatment of municipal wastewater. An 800 mesh nylon net was determined as the optimal support material based on its less irreversible fouling and higher effluent quality by the dead-end filtration experiments. During the continuous operation period of 44 days, the reactor performance, DM filtration behavior and microbial characteristics were studied and compared with the results of recent studies. AnGDMBR had a higher removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 85.45 ± 7.06%. Photometric analysis integrating with three-dimensional excitation–emission matrix fluorescence spectra showed that the DM effectively intercepted organics (46.34 ± 16.50%, 75.24 ± 17.35%, and 66.39 ± 17.66% for COD, polysaccharides, and proteins). The addition of suspended carriers effectively removed the DM layer by mechanical scouring, and the growth rate of transmembrane pressure (TMP) and the decreasing rate of flux were reduced from 18.7 to 4.7 Pa/h and 0.07 to 0.01 L/(m2·h2), respectively. However, a dense and thin morphological structure of the DM layer was still observed in the end of reactor operation and plenty of filamentous microorganisms (i.e., SJA-15 and Anaerolineaceae) and the acidogens (i.e., Aeromonadaceae) predominated in the DM layer, which was also embedded in the membrane pore and led to severe irreversible fouling. In summary, the novel AnGDMBR has a superior performance (higher organic removal and lower fouling rates), which provides useful information on the configuration and operation of AnDMBRs for municipal wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A gravity-driven dynamic membrane bioreactors (DMBR) with GAC addition (G-DMBR) was operated under constant pressure filtration mode (using 20 cm water head) for real domestic wastewater treatment. During the stable operation period, the treatment performance, DM filtration behavior and mechanism as well as microbial properties were studied and compared with a control DMBR (C-DMBR). Both DMBRs showed stable removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia (NH4+-N) with average removal rates over 88% and 98%, respectively. GAC addition effectively enhanced dynamic membrane (DM) permeability with a stable flux of 17 to 65 L/m2h, which was approximately four times higher than that in the C-DMBR without GAC addition. Filtration resistance analysis indicated the DM formation can be divided to three stages: the formation of the initial DM layer, the development of mature DM layer and dynamic equilibrium stage of the DM layer. Filtration model analysis illustrated that added GAC could be the skeleton of the DM, resulting in a more porous and incompressible DM layer. Additionally, microbial community analysis revealed that in the G-DMBR several fouling-causing phyla including Proteobacteria reduced while other phyla preferring attached growth such as Bacteroidetes and Gemmatimonadetes increased. Thus, adding GAC to the DMBR can be an effective strategy for achieving stable and high-flux operation by modifying DM properties and regulating DM formation process and structure.

Abstract
Membrane costs and biofouling limit applications of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for wastewater treatment. Here, powdered activated carbon (PAC) utilization in the formation and performance of a self-forming dynamic membrane consisting of activated sludge and PAC during hybrid wastewater treatment process was studied. Short-term agitation helped (non)biological particles to quickly uniformly settle on mesh filter, forming more uniform PAC-containing dynamic membranes (PAC-DMs). PAC adsorbed adhesive materials, resulting in an increase in average floc size and DM permeability while decreasing biofouling. The most efficient PAC concentration was 4 g L-1 considering techno-economics, i.e. the highest effluent quality (turbidity of 19.89 NTU) and the lowest biofouling (transmembrane pressure rise of 2.89 mbar). Short-term performance of hybrid PAC-DM bioreactor (PAC-DMBR) showed stability in effluent quality improvement including 92%, 95%, 83%, 84% and 98% reductions in turbidity, chemical oxygen demand, total dissolved solids, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous, respectively. Accordingly, adopting hybrid PAC-DMBR has potential to alleviate biofouling and capital cost.

Abstract
The direct disposal of industrial effluents into the aquatic system is considered as a significant environmental hazard in many countries. Because of poisonous chemicals, substantial volumes of effluent release, as well as the lack of adequate of conventional treatment methodologies, industrial effluent treatment is extremely difficult. Numerous researchers have been interested in adsorption technology for its high efficiency of pollutant removal, low cost, and abundantly available adsorbent. Various adsorbent materials, both natural and modified form, have been widely used for the removal of toxic contaminants from industrial effluent. This paper highlights recent advancements in multiple modification types to functionalize the adsorbent material, resulting in higher adsorption capacity on various toxic pollutants. This review provides an overview of the adsorption mechanism and parameters (pH, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, temperature and interaction time), which influencing the removal efficiency of adsorbents. Furthermore, this review compiles the desorption study to recover the adsorbent and improve the cycle's financial viability. This review provides a concise overview of the future directions and outlook in the framework of adsorbent application for industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The present investigation used regular powered activated carbon (PAC) as the dynamic membrane (DM) material and successfully built-up a pilot-scale DM system for deep purification of the secondary textile effluent, which aimed at verifying the technical and economic feasibility of the DM with real secondary textile effluent. The hydrodynamic experiments indicated that the filtration resistance gradually increased along with the operation of DM system, and among which, the PAC size was the most important influencing factor. More dosage and smaller sized PAC were beneficial to enhance the purification effect of micro-organic pollutants, but they simultaneously improved the operational costs, which implied that the adoption of DM materials should comprehensively consider the removal results and the type and dosage of DM materials for obtaining an optimal result, and the operational costs would be drastically reduced by regenerating the wasted PAC. More than 50% residual micro-organic pollutants were further removed by the system, and they were mainly some aliphatic and aromatic compounds, which were the main refractory organic pollutants in most textile effluents. It was also proved by the pilot-scale DM study that the removed residual pollutants from the secondary textile effluent were mainly aromatic protein II. Due to the contained complex functional groups in their molecular structure, soluble microbial metabolites were relatively easier to be removed by the DM layer.

Abstract
Membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) is highly influenced by the characteristics of the influent, the mixed liquor microbial community and the operational parameters, all of which are environment specific. Therefore, we studied the dynamics of microbial community during the treatment of real municipal wastewater in a pilotscale anoxic-oxic (A/O) MBR equipped with a gravity-driven membrane filtration system. The MBR was operated at three different solid retention times (SRTs): 25, 40 and 10 days for a total period of 180 days in Nordic environmental conditions. Analysis of microbial community dynamics revealed a high diversity of microbial species at SRT of 40 days, whereas SRT of 25 days was superior with microbial richness. Production of soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was found to be intensely connected with the SRT and food to microorganism (F/M) ratio. Relatively longer operational period with the lowest rate of membrane fouling was observed at SRT of 25 days, which was resulted from the superior microbial community, lowest production of SMP and loosely bound EPS as well as the lower filtration resistance of larger sludge flocs. Abundance of quorum quenching (QQ) bacteria and granular floc forming bacterial genera at SRT of 25 days provided relatively lower membrane fouling tendency and larger floc formation, respectively. On the other hand, substantial amount of various surface colonizing and EPS producing bacteria was found at SRT of 10 days, which promoted more rapid membrane fouling compared with the fouling rate seen at other tested SRTs. To sum up, this research provides a realistic insight into the impact of SRT on microbial community dynamics and resulting characteristics of mixed liquor, floc size distribution and membrane fouling for improved MBR operation.

Abstract
This study aims to reduce membrane fouling in membrane photobioreactor (MPBR) through the quorum quenching (QQ) strategy. For this purpose, the QQ beads (immobilized Rhodococcus sp. BH4) were added to the MPBR, and antifouling ability was evaluated in consideration of the changes in transmembrane pressure (TMP), extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), microbial community, and cake layer morphology on the membrane surface. The results showed that the TMP of control MPBR (MPBR-C) reached 818 mbar and 912 mbar on the operation hours of 35 and 170, while the TMP of experimental MPBR (MPBR-QQ) was only 448 mbar and 676 mbar, respectively. The QQ strategy effectively reduced the EPS content in MPBR. The microscopic observations indicated that the QQ diminished the cake layer formation and pore-blocking on the membrane surface. Comparisons of 16S and 18S gene communities revealed minor differences between bacterial and eukaryotic species in MPBRs at phylum and class levels.

Abstract
The efficiency of anaerobic digestion could be increased by promoting microbial retention through biofilm development. The inclusion of certain types of biofilm carriers has differentiated existing AD biofilm reactors through their respective mode of biofilm growth. Bacteria and archaea engaged in methanogenesis during anaerobic processes potentially build biofilms by adhering or attaching to biofilm carriers. Meta-analyzed results depicted varying degrees of biogas enhancement within AD biofilm reactors. Furthermore, different carrier materials highly induced the dynamicity of the dominant microbial population in each system. It is suggested that the promotion of surface contact and improvement of interspecies electron transport have greatly impacted the treatment results. Modern spectroscopy techniques have been and will continue to give essential information regarding biofilm's composition and structural organization which can be useful in elucidating the added function of this special layer of microbial cells.

Abstract
In the recent past, wastewater treatment processes performed a pivotal role in accordance with maintaining the sustainable environment and health of mankind at a proper hygiene level. It has been proved indispensable by government regulations throughout the world on account of the importance of preserving freshwater bodies. Human activities, predominantly from industrial sectors, generate an immeasurable amount of industrial wastewater loaded with toxic chemicals, which not only cause dreadful environmental problems, but also leave harmful impacts on public health. Hence, industrial wastewater effluent must be treated before being released into the environment to restrain the problems related to industrial wastewater discharged to the environment. Nowadays, biological wastewater treatment methods have been considered an excellent approach for industrial wastewater treatment process because of their cost-effectiveness in the treatment, high efficiency and their potential to counteract the drawbacks of conventional wastewater treatment methods. Recently, the treatment of industrial effluent through bioreactor has been proved as one of the best methods from the presently available methods. Reactors are the principal part of any biotechnology-based method for microbial or enzymatic biodegradation, biotransformation and bioremediation. This review aims to explore and compile the assessment of the most appropriate reactors such as packed bed reactor, membrane bioreactor, rotating biological contactor, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, photobioreactor, biological fluidized bed reactor and continuous stirred tank bioreactor that are extensively used for distinct industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Recently, anaerobic self-forming dynamic membrane bioreactors (AnSFDMBRs) have attracted increasing attention, and are considered as an alternative to conventional anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). The key advantages of AnSFDMBRs include high flux, low propensity towards fouling, and low capital and operational costs. Although there have been several reviews on AnMBRs, very few reviews on AnSFDMBR system. Previous AnSFDMBR studies have focused on lab-scale to investigate the long-term flux, methods to improve performance and the associated mechanisms. Microbial analysis showed that the phyla namely Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are dominant in both bulk sludge and cake biofilm, but their abundance is low in biocake. This review critically examines the fundamentals of AnSFDMBRs, operational conditions, process optimization and applications. Moreover, the current knowledge gaps (e.g., dynamic membrane module optimization, membrane surface modification and functional microbes enrichment) that should be studied in future to design an efficient AnSFDMBR system for treatment of diverse wastewaters.

Abstract
Assimilatory and dissimilatory sulfate reduction (ASR and DSR) are the core bacterial sulfate-reducing pathways involved in wastewater treatment. It has been reported that sulfate-reducing activities could happen within biofoulants of membrane bioreactors during wastewater treatment. Biofoulants are mainly microbial products contributing membrane fouling and subsequent rising energy consumption in driving membrane filtration. Biofoulants from a full-scale biofilm-membrane bioreactor (biofilm-MBR) treating textile wastewater were investigated in this study. During a 10-month operation, sulfate concentrations in the effluent of the biofilm-MBR gradually decreased alongside with the creeping up sulfite concentrations when biofoulants were also building up on membrane modules. Sulfide had no apparent increases in the effluent during this period. Metagenomic analysis revealed diverse microbial communities residing in the biofoulants. Further analysis on their genetic traits revealed abundant ASR's and DSR's functional genes. A plethora of sulfate-reduction bacteria (SRB), including the well-known Desulfovibrio, Desulfainum, Desulfobacca, Desulfobulbus, Desulfococcus, Desulfonema, Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacter, Desulfobacula, Desulfofaba, Desulfotigum, Desulfatibacillum, Desulfatitalea, Desulfobacterium, were detected in the biofoulants. They were believed to play some important carbon and sulfur-cycling roles in our study. Based on metagenomic analysis, we also deduced that ASR was a functionally more important sulfate-reducing route because of the high abundance of assimilatory sulfate reductases detected. Also, the "AMP (adenosine monophosphate)→sulfite" step was a key reaction shared by both ASR and DSR in the biofoulant. This step might be responsible for the sulfite accumulation in the biofilm-MBR effluent. Overall, ASR functional genes in the biofoulants were more abundant. But the bacteria possessing complete DSR pathways caused the sulfide production in the biofilm-MBR.

Abstract
Dynamic membrane bioreactors mainly rely on the in-situ formed biofilms on support materials to reject fine particles in water. The development of irremovable biofilms on support materials can decrease the cleaning efficiency when removing the unwanted biofilms with low permeability by water flushing. In the present study, the initial formed biofilms on support materials at 5-day solids retention time (SRT) were removable by water flushing. After repeated cleaning with off-line water flushing during operation, however, irremovable biofilms were developed gradually inside the mesh pores and thus, rapid rising in transmembrane pressure occurred in every one to three days. At 20-day SRT, the biofilms formed on support materials with the same operation time were still removable. Therefore, both low SRT and repeated water flushing promoted the formation of irremovable biofilms on support materials. Further study found that the composition and microbial community between the irremovable and removable biofilms were significantly different, which differentiated the biofilm adhesion and removability. The irremovable biofilms had a greater faction of proteins (49.0%) and β-d-glucopyranose polysaccharides (17.8%) in extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), while the removable biofilms had a greater fraction of α-d-glucopyranose polysaccharides. After repeated cleaning with off-line water flushing during operation, Nitrospiraceae was selectively enriched in the irremovable biofilms at a relative abundance of 39.1%, which could have resulted in the particular EPS matrix that strengthened the biofilm adhesion.

Abstract
The biodegradation and biodetoxification of batik industrial wastewater by laccase enzyme immobilised on light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) were investigated. Laccase from Trametes hirsuta EDN 082 was covalently immobilised by modifying the LECA surface using (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde. The enzymatic characterisation of LECA-laccase showed promising results with an enzyme loading of 6.67 U/g and an immobilisation yield of 66.7% at the initial laccase activity of 10 U/g LECA. LECA-laccase successfully degraded batik industrial wastewater containing indigosol dye up to 98.2%. In addition, the decolorisation extent was more than 95.4% after four cycles. The phytotoxicity assessment of Vigna radiata and the microbial toxicity of two pathogenic bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showed biodetoxification of treated batik dye wastewater. The characterisation using 3D light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared for LECA-laccase confirmed that laccase was successfully immobilised on LECA, and the decolorisation achieved through the combination of adsorption and enzymatic degradation. This study offers an environmentally friendly, effective and affordable LECA-laccase as a method for batik dye wastewater treatment.
