Abstract
The interest in the mineral vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O) as a more sustainable P resource has grown significantly in recent years owing to its efficient recovery from wastewater and its potential use as a P fertilizer. Vivianite is metastable in oxic environments and readily oxidizes. As dissolution and oxidation occur concurrently, the impact of oxidation on the dissolution rate and mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we disentangled the oxidation and dissolution of vivianite to develop a quantitative and mechanistic understanding of dissolution rates and mechanisms under oxic conditions. Controlled batch and flow-through experiments with pristine and preoxidized vivianite were conducted to systematically investigate the effect of oxidation on vivianite dissolution at various pH-values and temperatures. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy techniques, we demonstrated that oxidation of vivianite generated a core-shell structure with a passivating oxidized amorphous Fe(III)-PO4 surface layer and a pristine vivianite core, leading to diffusion-controlled oxidation kinetics. Initial (<1 h) dissolution rates and concomitant P and Fe release (∼48 h) decreased strongly with increasing degree of oxidation (0-≤ 100%). Both increasing temperature (5-75 °C) and pH (5-9) accelerated oxidation, and, consequently, slowed down dissolution kinetics.

Abstract
Damaging the outer layer of the body (the skin) has been a common issue for decades. Fabrication of nanofibrous membranes via the electrospinning technique for the sake of making the wound healing process more facile has caught a lot of interest. For this purpose, a polymeric scaffold of polylactic acid (PLA) was doped with nanoparticles with different concentrations of turmeric/hydroxyapatite/vivianite/graphene oxide. The obtained membrane was tested by XRD, SEM, FTIR, and XPS. The surface topography of the scaffold has experienced changes upon adding different concentrations of the nanoparticles. The contact angle was measured by water droplets. It accentuated change in CA starting from 43.9o for pure condition of PLA to 67.7o for PLA/turmeric/vivianite. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) test stated that the PLA scaffold features are thermally stable in relatively high-temperature conditions initiating from room temperature to about 300 °C, meeting the maximum loss in mass of about 5 %. The cell viability was carried out in prepared vitro for the sample which contains PLA/turmeric/vivianite/GO, it was elucidated that the IC50 was around 3060 μg/ml.

Abstract
In the context of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation process (anammox), great scientific advances have been made over the past two decades, making anammox a consolidated technology widely used worldwide for nitrogen removal from wastewaters. This review provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the anammox process, the microorganisms involved and their metabolism. In addition, recent research on the application of the anammox process with alternative electron acceptors is described, highlighting the biochemical reactions involved, its advantages and potential applications for specific wastewaters. An updated description is also given of studies reporting the ability of microorganisms to couple the anammox process to extracellular electron transfer to insoluble electron acceptors; particularly iron, carbon-based materials and electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The latter, also referred to as anodic anammox, is a promising strategy to combine the ammonium removal from wastewater with bioelectricity production, which is discussed here in terms of its efficiency, economic feasibility, and energetic aspects. Therefore, the information provided in this review is relevant for future applications.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) recovery through vivianite, which can be found in activated sludge, surplus sludge and digested sludge in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), is a cutting-edge and efficient technology in recent years. However, how to generate and separate vivianite in an effective and economical way with natural iron oxide mineral was still the bottleneck to limit its application. Therefore, in this study, the P recovery efficiency (EP) and vivianite recovery efficiency (EV) of three kinds of iron oxides were investigated. We found that the EP of Akaganeite was 1.83 times and 4.88 times higher than that of Geothite and Hematite. Simultaneously, EV of Akaganeite was 1.64 times and 2.88 times higher than that of Geothite and Hematite. As Akaganeite is main component of rust on the surface of iron scrap, we used Fe(III)[Fe(0)] iron scrap with Fe(0) inside and Akaganeite outside as iron source and electron acceptor for vivianite production and magnetic separation. At the terminal stage (60 day), the P recovery efficiency with 20 g/L Fe(III)[Fe(0)] iron scrap was 36%. Applying a magnetical separator with magnetic field intensity of 0.3 T, vivianite was separated from the solution efficiently and immediately. Low intensity magnetic separation with iron scrap would recover P resources economically with the total cost to be $2.23/kg P, which was much lower than recovery via iron salts. Besides, it provided a significant insights into the P recovery and vivianite separation by reusing Fe waste during wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The recovery of phosphorus (P) through vivianite crystallization offers a promising approach for resource utilization in wastewater treatment plants. However, this process encounters challenges in terms of small product size and low purity. The study aimed to assess the feasibility of using quartz sand as a seed material to enhance P recovery and vivianite crystal characteristics from anaerobic fermentation supernatant. Various factors, including seed dosage, seed size, Fe/P ratio, and pH, were systematically tested in batch experiments to assess their influence. Results demonstrated that the effect of seed enhancement on vivianite crystallization was more pronounced under higher seed dosages, smaller seed sizes, and lower pH or Fe/P ratio. The addition of seeds increased P recovery by 4.43% in the actual anaerobic fermentation supernatant and also augmented the average particle size of the recovered product from 19.57 to 39.28 μm. Moreover, introducing quartz sand as a seed material effectively reduced co-precipitation, leading to a notable 12.5% increase in the purity of the recovered vivianite compared to the non-seeded process. The formation of an ion adsorption layer on the surface of quartz sand facilitated crystal attachment and growth, significantly accelerating the vivianite crystallization rate and enhancing P recovery. The economic analysis focused on chemical costs further affirmed the economic viability of using quartz sand as a seed material for P recovery through vivianite crystallization, which provides valuable insights for future research and engineering applications.

Phosphorus recovery from synthetic anaerobic fermentation supernatant via vivianite crystallization: Coupling effects of various physicochemical process parameters.

Abstract
Recovery of phosphorus (P) via vivianite crystallization is an effective strategy to recycle resources from the anaerobic fermentation supernatant. However, the presence of different components in the anaerobic fermentation supernatant (e.g., polysaccharides and proteins) might alter conditions for optimal growth of vivianite crystals, resulting in distinct vivianite characteristics. In the present study, the effect of different components on vivianite crystallization was explored. Then, the reaction parameters (pH, Fe/P, and stirring speed) for P recovery from synthetic anaerobic fermentation supernatant as vivianite were optimized using response surface methodology, and the relationship between crystal properties and supersaturation was elucidated using a thermodynamic equilibrium model. The optimized values for pH, Fe/P, and stirring speed were found to be 7.8, 1.74, and 500 rpm respectively, resulting in 90.54 % P recovery efficiency. Moreover, the variation of reaction parameters did not change the crystalline structure of the recovered vivianite but influenced its morphology, size, and purity. Thermodynamic analysis suggested the saturation index (SI) of vivianite increased with increasing pH and Fe/P ratio, leading to a facilitative effect on vivianite crystallization. However, when the SI was >11, homogenous nucleation occurred so that the nucleation rate was much higher than the crystal growth rate, causing a smaller crystal size. The findings presented herein will be highly valued for the future large-scale application of the vivianite crystallization process for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, pig manure rich in phosphorus was used as the recovery object, In order to realize the maximum recovery of phosphorus resources in pig manure, this study established a phosphorus recovery route combining the electrochemical method with the Vivianite method using sacrificial iron anode. And in order to obtain phosphorus rich supernatant, pig manure was treated with different pH values, and the changes in phosphorus components and metal content in the liquid phase were mainly investigated; Graded phosphorus components and microbial communities in the solid phase; Finally, the effect of electrolytic recovery of phosphorus from fermentation supernatant was studied. The results showed that the highest total phosphorus (TP) content in the liquid phase follows a trend of acidity > control > alkalinity; The analysis of the results of solid-phase phosphorus fractionation extraction shows that acidic conditions are more conducive to the release of Non-apatite inorganic phosphorus (NAIP) and Apatite inorganic phosphorus (AP); The microbial community promotes the release of phosphorus by participating in the decomposition of fermentation substrates; The analysis of the change of metal content in the liquid phase before and after electrolysis showed that the two chamber electrolytic cell can not remove other metal components while recovering the vivianite; More than 90% of the phosphorus in the supernatant after fermentation was recovered by electrolysis. The characterization results showed that 84.66% of the precipitate was Vivianite.

Abstract
Nutrient-rich waste streams from domestic and industrial sources and the increasing application of synthetic fertilizers have resulted in a huge-scale influx of reactive nitrogen and phosphorus in the environment. The higher concentrations of these pollutants induce eutrophication and foster degradation of aquatic biodiversity. Besides, phosphorus being non-renewable resource is under the risk of rapid depletion. Hence, recovery and reuse of the phosphorus and nitrogen are necessary. Over the years, nutrient recovery, low-carbon energy, and sustainable bioremediation of wastewater have received significant interest. The conventional wastewater treatment technologies have higher energy demand and nutrient removal entails a major cost in the treatment process. For these issues, bio-electrochemical system (BES) has been considered as sustainable and environment friendly wastewater treatment technologies that utilize the energy contained in the wastewater so as to recovery nutrients and purify wastewater. Therefore, this article comprehensively focuses and critically analyzes the potential sources of nutrients, working mechanism of BES, and different nutrient recovery strategies to unlock the upscaling opportunities. Also, economic analysis was done to understand the technical feasibility and potential market value of recovered nutrients. Hence, this review article will be useful in establishing waste management policies and framework along with development of advanced configurations with major emphasis on nutrient recovery rather than removal from the waste stream.

Abstract
Vivianite as a significant secondary mineral of dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) exhibits marvelous potential to solve eutrophication as well as phosphorus shortage. Geobattery represents by natural organic matters (NOM) with rich functional groups influences bioreduction of natural iron mineral. Activated carbon (AC) which contains abundant functional groups is expected to serve as geobattery, but there remains insufficient understanding on its geobattery mechanism and how it benefits the vivianite formation. In this study, the charging and discharging cycle of "geobattery" AC enhanced extracellular electron transfer (EET) and vivianite recovery was demonstrated. Feeding with ferric citrate, AC addition increased vivianite formation efficiency by 141 %. The enhancement was attributed to the electron shuttle capacity of storage battery AC, which was contributed by the redox cycle between CO and O-H. Feeding with iron oxides, huge gap of redox potential between AC and Fe(III) minerals broke through the reduction energy barrier. Therefore the iron reduction efficiency of four Fe(III) minerals was accelerated to the same high level around 80 %, and the vivianite formation efficiency were increased by 104 %-256 % in pure culture batches. Except acting as storage battery, AC as a dry cell contributed 80 % to the whole enhancement towards iron reduction, in which O-H groups were the dominant driver. Due to the rechargeable nature and considerable electron exchange capacity, AC served as geobattery playing the role of both storage battery and dry cell on electron storaging and transferring to influence biogeochemical Fe cycle and vivianite recovery.

Abstract
Although PO43- is commonly found in association with iron (oxyhydr)oxide, the effect of PO43- on ferrihydrite reduction, mineralogical transformation, and associated As behavior in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)-rich environments remains unclear. In this study, batch experiments, together with geochemical, mineralogical, and biological analyses, were conducted to elucidate these processes. The results showed that SRB can reduce ferrihydrite via direct and indirect processes, and PO43- promoted ferrihydrite reduction by supporting SRB growth at low and medium PO43- loadings. However, at high loadings, PO43- stabilized the ferrihydrite. PO43- shifted the transformation of ferrihydrite from magnetite and mackinawite to vivianite, which scavenges As effectively by incorporating As into its particle. In systems with 0.5 mM SO42-, PO43- exerted a weak effect on As mobilization. However, in systems with 10 mM SO42-, substantial amounts of As were released into the solution, and PO43- impacted As behavior strongly. Low PO43- loadings increased the mobilization of As because of the competitive adsorption of PO43- on mackinawite. Medium and high PO43- loadings were beneficial for As immobilization because of the substitution of mackinawite by vivianite. These findings have important implications for understanding the biogeochemistry of iron (oxyhydr)oxide and As behavior in SRB-containing sediments.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 331:117324. [PMID: 36657201 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Vivianite crystallization has been regarded as a suitable option for recovering phosphorus (P) from P-containing wastewater. However, the presence of humic substances (HS) would inevitably affect the formation of vivianite crystals. Therefore, the influences of HS on vivianite crystallization and the changes in the harvested vivianite crystals were investigated in this study. The results suggested the inhibition effect of 70 mg/L HS on vivianite crystallization reached 12.24%, while it could be attenuated by increasing the pH and Fe/P ratio of the solution. Meanwhile, the addition of HS altered the size, purity, and morphology of recovered vivianite crystals due to the blockage of the growth sites on the crystal surface. Additionally, the formation of phosphate ester group, hydrogen bonding, and COOH-Fe2+ complexes are the potential mechanisms of HS interaction with vivianite crystals. The results obtained herein will help to elucidate the underlying mechanism of HS on vivianite crystallization from P-containing wastewater.

Abstract
High concentration phosphorus wastewater has attracted much attention due to the safety of water ecology and the potential crisis of phosphorus resource, which is caused by large amounts of phosphorus discharging into natural water bodies. Vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O) crystallization has been considered as an effective technology for phosphorus recovery. In this study, we develop a potentially low-cost, sustainable approach to recover phosphorus from high concentration phosphorus wastewater using mine drainage as iron source. Inoculated with both sewage and Geobacter, mine drainage was suitable for vivianite recovery from high concentration phosphorus wastewater with PO43- concentration between 6 and 18 mM. When the PO43- concentration increased gradually, both phosphorus removal efficiency (RP) and vivianite recovery efficiency (RV) decreased significantly. The highest RV of 48 % was obtained with 9 mM PO43- in Geobacter batches (CJ2 batches), which was 15 % higher than that in the paralleled sewage batches (33 % in HJ2). Simultaneously, vivianite accounted for 91 % of the solid phosphate compounds in CJ2 batches due to the enhancement of Geobacter.

Abstract
Vivianite widely existed in digested sludge and activated sludge as a potential phosphate resource recovered from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). As an important product of extracellular electron transfer (EET) and biological iron reduction, the production of vivianite can be enhanced by conductive materials. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with excellent electrical conductivity have been reported to promote electron transfer, which was applied in wastewater treatment to accelerate the degradation of the contaminants. However, the impact of CNTs on vivianite formation was barely reported. In this study, the iron reduction, vivianite recovery, and the biotoxicity of CNTs were investigated in order to determine the influence of CNTs towards the vivianite production. The enhancement of vivianite production after CNTs adding reached up to 17 % by promoting the electron transfer between dissimilative iron-reducing bacteria (DIRB) and Fe(III). However, at the initial stage (0-24 h), Fe(III) reduction efficiency decreased by 81 % after inoculating with sewage sludge, which was attributed to CNTs destroying of the cell membrane (as indicated by SEM, CLSM and AFM analysis). The biotoxicity of CNTs stimulated DIRB to secret extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and form bio-flocs to resist the physical puncture. After 48 h, the proportion of living DIRB in 1000 mg/L CNTs batch increased to 98 %, which was 79 % higher than 12 h. As a result, the vivianite recovery of raw sewage with 1000 mg/L CNTs increased to 44 ± 1 %, which was 33 % higher than that in the CNT-0.

Shewanella sp. T2.3D-1.1 a Novel Microorganism Sustaining the Iron Cycle in the Deep Subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10081585. [PMID: 36014003 PMCID: PMC9415397 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10081585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) is one of the largest deposits of sulphidic minerals on Earth. Río Tinto raises from its core, presenting low a pH and high metal concentration. Several drilling cores were extracted from the IPB’s subsurface, and strain T2.3D-1.1 was isolated from a core at 121.8 m depth. We aimed to characterize this subterranean microorganism, revealing its phylogenomic affiliation (Average Nucleotide Identity, digital DNA-DNA Hybridization) and inferring its physiology through genome annotation, backed with physiological experiments to explore its relationship with the Fe biogeochemical cycle. Results determined that the isolate belongs to the Shewanella putrefaciens (with ANI 99.25 with S. putrefaciens CN-32). Its genome harbours the necessary genes, including omcA mtrCAB, to perform the Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) and reduce acceptors such as Fe3+, napAB to reduce NO3− to NO2−, hydAB to produce H2 and genes sirA, phsABC and ttrABC to reduce SO32−, S2O32− and S4O62−, respectively. A full CRISPR-Cas 1F type system was found as well. S. putrefaciens T2.3D-1.1 can reduce Fe3+ and promote the oxidation of Fe2+ in the presence of NO3− under anaerobic conditions. Production of H2 has been observed under anaerobic conditions with lactate or pyruvate as the electron donor and fumarate as the electron acceptor. Besides Fe3+ and NO3−, the isolate also grows with Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Trimethyl N-oxide, S4O62− and S2O32− as electron acceptors. It tolerates different concentrations of heavy metals such as 7.5 mM of Pb, 5 mM of Cr and Cu and 1 mM of Cd, Co, Ni and Zn. This array of traits suggests that S. putrefaciens T2.3D-1.1 could have an important role within the Iberian Pyrite Belt subsurface participating in the iron cycle, through the dissolution of iron minerals and therefore contributing to generate the extreme conditions detected in the Río Tinto basin.

Abstract
In materials science, "green" synthesis has gotten a lot of interest as a reliable, long-lasting, and ecofriendly way to make a variety of materials/nanomaterials, including metal/metal oxide nanomaterials. To accommodate various biological materials, green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has been used (e.g., bacteria, fungi, algae, and plant extracts). In this work, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was used to biosynthesize palladium nanoparticles (bioPd) under aerobic conditions for the Cr(VI) bio-reduction. The size and distribution of bio-Pd are controlled by adjusting the ratio of microbial biomass and palladium precursors. The high cell: Pd ratio has the smallest average particle size of 6.33 ± 1.69 nm. And it has the lowest electrocatalytic potential (-0.132 V) for the oxidation of formic acid, which is 0.158 V lower than commercial Pd/C (5%). Our results revealed that the small size and uniformly distributed extracellular bio-Pd could achieve completely catalytic reduction of 200 mg/L Cr(VI) solution within 10 min, while the commercial Pd/C (5%) need at least 45 min. The bio-Pd materials maintain a high reduction during five cycles. Microorganisms play an important role in the whole process, which can fully disperse palladium nanoparticles, completely reduce Cr(VI), and effectively adsorb Cr(III). This work expands our understanding and provides a reference for the design and development of efficient and green bio-Pd catalysts for environmental pollution control under simple and mild conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 292:118323.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) can effectively immobilize soil heavy metals, but excess phosphate would be released to aquatic ecosystem, resulting in eutrophication. This study investigated the effects of ferrihydrite (FH) on the HAP immobilization of copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) and their reduction of phosphorus release under flooding-drainage alternation conditions. Results showed that the incorporation of HAP and FH significantly increased soil solution pH and decreased Cu2+ and Cd2+ concentrations. Applications of FH, HAP, and FH-HAP (FH and HAP combination) can all enhance soil pH and reduce CaCl2-extractable and exchangeable Cu and Cd, but HAP addition increased soluble phosphate by 6.60-7.77 times compared to control. However, FH-HAP application can significantly reduce phosphate release by 92.7-99.7% compared to HAP application. FH-HAP was the most effective to reduce exchangeable Cu and Cd by 49.8-93.4% and 50.9-88.8% and decreased labile and moderately labile phosphorus by 34.0-74.4% and 13.5-18.6%, respectively, while increased stable phosphorus by 22-45.1% than single HAP. All FH treatments significantly increased amorphous iron oxides by the factors of 4.66-20.8, but only 3% and 5% of FH applications slightly enhanced crystal iron oxides by the factors of 0.81-1.27. The major implication is that the combination of FH and HAP can not only immobilize of Cu and Cd, but also reduce the risk of phosphate release by HAP addition.

Abstract
With the development of electrified railways and high-voltage transmission lines, it is often inevitable that buried metal structures are subjected to interference from the alternating current (AC) induced by the neighboring power facilities. Commonly found in soil, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have the capability to accelerate metal corrosion. In this paper, with electrochemical methods, surface analysis techniques, and weight-loss test, the influence of AC and SRB on the X80 steel corrosion behavior was explored in coastal saline soil. The results revealed that the 100 A m-2 AC inhibited the growth of the sessile and planktonic SRB cell. Under the action of 100 A m-2 AC, the metabolic activity of viable bacteria was enhanced, and the process of extracellular electron transfer was accelerated. When both AC and SRB were introduced, the maximum pit depth (76.2 μm) increased significantly to be 15 times higher than in the control condition (4.9 μm). Both SRB and AC played a role in enhancing corrosion. The corrosion rate of the AC-influenced specimen was far higher than that of the SRB-influenced specimen, while SRB and AC produced a synergistic effect on the enhanced corrosion of the specimen.
